Hello pschlis,
First, you should remove and reseat the cartrige(s) within the printhead housing to see if the error clears, If not, please continue
This may be due to a dirty Drop Detector, which can produce an error message if not cleaned. More information and complete instructions can be viewed here
If, you can still see the printhead error message plese review the following link
Removing a Printhead
Once at the link, follow the steps to remove the printhead and clean the part as well as the housing within the printer carriage (This can be done with either a printer cleaner purchased at the store, or alcohol on a cotton swab)
When completely cleaned and dry, put the printhead back in and see if the error disappears. If not, then you may want to consider either replacing the faulty printhead OR consider purchasing a new printer on sale. The cost is not much more than the price of buying a new printhead
Much appreciation to those who acknowledge our members for their contribution toward finding a solution.
