HP OfficeJet Pro 8715 All-in-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have had this printer (HP OfficeJet Pro 8715 All-in-One Printer) since March 2017. I love the printer, today when I tried printing something I got an error "The printhead appears to be missing not detected or incorrectly installed". I have tried troubleshooting steps that have been mentioned here  also I reset the printer and it didnt make any difference . It feels like my only option is to get a new printer or spend money getting the printer serviced and/or buy a new printhead part with no guarantee that this will fix the problem. I don't print very frequently so I wasn't expecting a fairly expensive home printer to last me a little over two years. Not sure if there is any other troubleshooting I can do or if there are alternatives available to me.
