This document is for HP inkjet printers.
The printer does not print, and a printhead error message displays on the computer or printer control panel.
In many cases, the only way to resolve a printhead failure is to replace the printhead, if it is replaceable. If the printhead is not replaceable, the entire printer must be replaced or serviced.
note:If your printer has an ink tank that you refill with bottled ink, go to HP Smart Tank 500, 600 Printers - Printhead Errors.
