Photosmart 7525 shows 7520 series missing or failed printhead + HP not honoring 1 year warranty...

As you've gathered from the title there is two issues:
1.  The Photosmart 7525 (alias:  CZ046A)  is no longer functions and says Missing or failed printhead.
2.  HP's warranty check says warranty expired on Aug 31, 2013 even though it was bought Aug 6, 2013...
Issue 1.
I replaced colour ink cartridges and this message appeared immediately after.
I followed HP's help guide and this did not clear the message or get printer working again.
Details:
The Printer's touch screen shows:
  [ !]  Missing or failed printhead
  The printhead appears to be missing, not detected, or incorrectly installed.
Also, the HP software that came with printer gives a popup (in WinXP SP3):
  HP Photosmart 7520 series
  (X)  Missing or Failed Printhead
  Cyan/Magenta/Yellow/Black/PhotoBlack
  The printhead appears to be missing, not detected, incorrectly installed, or incompatible.
I troubleshooted following the HP online help guide (scroll down and choose 'No Code Displays')
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=ca&lc=en&docname=c01458034
The steps I took in brief (as per HP guide above).:
reseated cartridges, checked vents, turned on then unplugged printer for a minute, cleaned cartridge contacts, turned on then unplugged printer again, removed printheads and cleaned contacts
The last step the guide says is replace printhead or contact HP if still in warranty.
(as a former electronic repair person, then PC technician, now SysAdmin, I'm no stranger to following repair guides, and troubleshooting.)
Issue 2.
I used the provided warranty check at the bottom of the aforementioned HP guide:
http://www.hp.com/go/warrantycheck
The printer was purchased Aug 6th, 2013 and on Aug 8th I set up the printer and mailed the warranty card.
On March 6th, 2014, I entered the serial number and the other Model number  CZ046A
And HP's website indicated:  Warranty has expired  2013-08-30
So I used the "Online warranty dispute form".
Then next day an email from Sush "have updated the warranty of your HP Product".
On March 7th, 2014, I did the warranty check again
And HP's website indicated:  Warranty has expired  2013-08-31
I replied to Sush's email, nicely explaining the problem.
On March 8th, 2014, ATCHUTA RAO.V replied "have updated the warranty of your HP Product".
But there was no change and HP's website still indicates:  Warranty has expired  2013-08-31
So I used the "Online warranty dispute form" again and only received an autoreply on March 10th.
It's now the 20th, and I still get Warranty has expired  2013-08-31
It simply appears to me that HP is Not honoring their 1 year warranty on their product.
(For obvious reasons I'm not putting my serial number or ServiceTicket number online)

  • HP Officejet Pro 8610 - Error Code: " 0xc19a0013" (missing or failed printhead)

    I purchased the printer (HP Officejet Pro 8610 e-All-in-one printer) in January, 2015.  The printer functioned properly - copy, fax, and scan, until two days ago.  Now, it does not print at all.  Received an error code: "0xc19a0013" (Missing or Failed Printhead).  An expanded version of the error code reads:  "The Printhead appears to be missing, not detected, or incorrectly installed.  Error Code: 0xc19a0013.   The printer uses a removable printhead, HP Ink Cartridges 950 (black) and  951(cmy).  I have used HP Support Troubleshooting recommendations: all software and firmware for this printer is installed; the HP ink cartridges are not low or empty; removed the ink cartridges from the printhead and reinstalled them.
    There are multible steps in the troubleshooting recommendation, but I stopped at removing the printhead.  Because of my technical inexperience, and there were too many ceveats (beware, caution, proper reinstallation, and etc.)  with removing the printhead that could cause greater problems.  So, I stopped at removing and cleaning the printhead.  Also, used the HP Printer Scan Doctor for assistance. The tool for cleaning the printhead doesn't work.   What troubles me most with the 0xc19a0013 error code is its explanation: The printhead appears to be missing, not detected, or incorrectly installed.  I can use all the help I can get to understand what is going on with the error code that I have received, and how to resolve the malfunctioning printer.

  • HP Officejet 6700 Premium - Missing or Failed Printhead Error Message

    Can anyone help me troubleshoot the error message for an HP Officejet 6700 Premium Printer:Missing or failed printhead. The printhead appears to be missing, not detected, or incorrectly installed.This error message popped up in the middle of printing. I looked online and the only troubleshooting support they provided was to turn the printer off, unplug for 15 seconds, and turn back on. I did that 3 times now, and it has not solved the problem. Has anyone else had this error message and been able to resolve it, or will I just need to buy a new printer? I would appreciate any advice. Thank you. 

    Two months have gone by, and no feedback from HP whatsoever. It's clear that they are completely aware that there is a widespread defect on this model, and they have no plans to address it. I'm sure they weighed their options, whether it was in their best financial interest to either address the problem & provide support, or to sweep it under the rug & lose customers like ourselves. It looks like, in this case, we're expendable. I couldn't go too long without a printer, and since the definition of "insanity" is doing the same thing over & over while expecting a better result, I opted to choose a different brand. About 6 weeks ago, I chose an Epson WorkForce WF-7510 wide-format all-in-one. It retailed at $250, but is usually on-sale for a little over $200. It has been fantastic. It is light-years quieter & smoother running than HP 6700, has a very innovative feeder tray that opens & closes (and folds nearly flat in the closed position), and performs fantastically. It runs, looks, & feels far more substantial than the last two HP's we've owned. Claims that it's of office-grade quality isn't just fluffing / lip-service as it was with the 6700. It really is a professional-grade product. I'm sorry that it didn't work out with HP. They've lost a customer. I'm sure that we're far from the only ones. Based on this experience, and that HP is trying to avoid addressing what is obviously an epidemic problem for this model, I've learned not to give them anymore of our business.

  • Missing or failed printhead

    HP Officejet 6600. Readout on computer screen says, "Missing or Failed Printhead".
    Can I get a new printhead or fix the one I have. No one will touch it. They all say, "Buy a new one, it's cheaper".
    Thanks,

    The one from amazon is brand new so if yours came with them they should also have it.  You can always ask them on amazon.  When you go to the link scroll down to the bottom and there is an "ask a question" section.
    If they don't you can Google them and if you still cant find them we can find them for you.

  • Printhead / ink issues with 5-month-old Photosmart 7525 printer

    It seems that my HP printer "bad luck" has not changed -- at all! After having lots of issues (and not being able to resolve them with a Photosmart 6515 this summer), I bought a Photosmart 7525 in July.
    I do not print photos or color ink a lot, but when I do, I need for the color and quality to be very good. But it seems that I cannot rely on my HP printer to do that for me. I end up spending hours of time just TRYING to get something to print. I end up wasting a lot of ink and paper, but usually still have a less-than-satisfactory result -- if I'm able to get anything to print at all!
    Two weeks ago, my daughter needed pictures printed for a school project. The pictures started to, print, but then it looked like some of the ink colors were running out. However, the ink status said the ink cartridges were fine! I replaced several of the ink cartridges anyway, but still the photos WOULD NOT print out correctly. I ended up having to save the photos to a thumb drive and take them to a drug store to get them printed for her project. After that, the printer would not even print BLACK ink!
    However, the next day, the printer started printing color again - mysteriously.
    Yesterday, I had some more photos to print. I had the same issue. The first photo printed fine, but after that, only the first third of the photos would print -- the rest were missing part of the other colors. My printer did not show any low ink -- at all. I had all "genuine" ink cartridges, too! I've never used anything except HP ink.
    I am beyond discouraged! I actually talked to an HP rep at Best Buy yesterday, who recommended an HP Envy printer, but it is a tri-color cartridge. He said the problems with 7520 series were because of the way the printhead is designed (really)!
    So I'm ready to just buy a B/W laser printer and give up on ink jets. I wish I could get by without even having a printer at home, but now the schools expect us to print out everything at home these days that they send us via e-mail. Since I end up having to go elsewhere to print photos anyway, maybe I just need to forget about printing photos at home entirely.
    So I will be returning my printer. If anyone has a suggestion on what to get in its place, please let me know. The 7525 was almost $150, so it was not a cheap printer.

    Thanks for your help RnrMusicMan, but I've already returned the printer to Costco, and they did refund my money.
    The printer was only five months old. This is the third Photo"smart" printer I've had major issues with in less than four years. I guess I'm not very smart to keep trying -- or hoping for a different result.
    Unfortunately, I still have a bunch of 564 ink cartridges that I can't use -- some I opened trying to get this printer to work, and some unopened.
    I bought an HP Envy printer on Sunday from Costco that takes the 61 XL cartridges, but I took it back yesterday without even opening the box. My spouse told me I was crazy for even thinking about trying again. And with a tri-color cartridge, it will just be a problem with one color running out.
    So for now, I'll just use our old Kodak printer or plan a little further ahead and have the photos printed outside. Every time I have a project to print, my HP printer does not print for me. I spend hours of time, waste lots of ink, paper and money, and still end up having to go elsewhere to get them printed. So, I just need to do that and forget about printing them from home!
    The HP rep that was at Best Buy suggested for me to return the unopened ink to Wal-Mart for in-store credit. I tried to return two yesterday, but that didn't work. They only exchange ink cartridges, not return them. So, now I'm probably on some list with them, too!
    So thanks for offering to help, but I'm done with trying to make an HP printer work for me at home.

  • Trouble with my photosmart 7525 printer

    I recently moved and am trying to set up my HP photosmart 7025 printer.  It says the ink carriage cannot move (but it can) because of a paper jam (I can't find a paper jam) or it gives a message that one or more ink cartridges is missing (none are) or is damaged.  How can I tell which cartridge is damaged?

  • "7520 Series not Found" when attempting to scan

    My 7520 is connected wirelessly to my 2 different laptops.  It will always print but periodically it will not scan and gives the error window, "The HP Photosmart 7520 series was not found".  Printer always shows it has wireless connection (I can even scan from the 7520 and email the scan to the computer, so it clearly has internet access).  I have reinstalled the software with no luck in resolving the issue.  I really like the printer so would like to resolve the issue. 

    Check that you have the latest firmware installed on the 7520. (ELM1CN1320AR)Have you tried setting a Static IP on the 7520?

    Hi , Welcome back to the HP Support Forums! I see you are not able to print to your HP Photosmart 7525, because your Mac running the Yosemite 10.10 Operating system is not seeing the wireless printer. I see you have done a few things with no success. Let's go ahead and try a different approach although some steps may need to be repeated please do ALL in order: Scrub/ Uninstall • Open the Applications folder > HP or Hewlett Packard folder > HP Uninstaller
    • Click continue, click on one of the printers in the list.
    • * Only do this step if you do not have any other HP Printers. Hold down Control, Option and Command, While holding the three buttons down,
    • Click uninstall. Reset Printing System 1. Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click System Preferences.2. In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan  dialog box opens.3. Right-click (or  Ctrl  +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…4. Click OK to confirm the reset.5. Type the correct Name and Password.6. Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected

    Hi @mfspectrum, 
    I see by your post that you are unable to scan. I can help you with this.
    Enable the scan to computer settings. A 'No Computer Detected' or 'Connection Error' Message Displays during Scanning. Go to Solution two: Check the Scan to Computer setting, Step one: Check the Scan to Computer setting.
    Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. The Airprint driver might be installed instead of the Printer's driver. (usually defaults to Airprint)
    Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen should show the name.
    If the printer name shows Airprint then that is the Apple drivers, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
    Try and scan again.
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • Fax from computer to photosmart 7525 gets cancelled after spooling

    I can fax directly from printer, but when I use the HP software or print function on the computer to set up fax and send, the progress goes from spooling to cancelled without any error notices. I have a Dell XPS 8500 running 8.1 and Photosmart 7525 connected by USB and wirelessly. They communicate just fine with the scan and print functions. Both are current on updates using the check for updates utility. I have a dedicated Voip phone line from Comcast and ther most current modem that I have slowed through the fax settings. I've spent hours reading forums on HP and Microsoft searching for exactly this issue. Please help

    Hi @xskilledtrades
    The truth is, I don't know what is causing the fax from computer function to fail. I understand from your description that the fax is cancelling after spooling, but that you can print and scan just fine as well as fax directly from the printer. I suspect the issue has something to do with the driver, thus I suggest we remove the driver and reload it.
    Please use the following steps to delete the printer/fax from device and printers, and the driver from the server properties.
    1. In the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder
    2. Choose ‘Print server properties’.
    Win XP – With no printer selected, click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.
    Windows Vista – With no printer selected, press ‘Alt’ then click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.
    Windows 7/8 and 8.1 – Select any printer in the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder and click ‘Print Server properties’ above.
    3. Click on the ‘Drivers’ tab at the top of ‘Print server properties’ window
    4. Choose the printer you want to uninstall and click ‘Remove’
    5. Choose 'Remove driver only'
    6. The next screen will give a warning, letting you know that deleting the driver package will remove it from the system. Click ‘Yes’ to say that you are sure you want to do this.
    If documents are stuck in the print spooler, you may see an error, cancel any documents pending in the print queue, or try restarting the print spooler, then try to remove the driver from ‘Print server properties’ again. If it still won’t remove the package, restarting the computer and the printer should resolve this ‘in use’ error and allow the driver to be removed.
    If the you continue to get an 'in use' message follow the steps in the document here; The Specified Printer Driver is Currently in Use
    After the driver is removed, open Start > All Programs > HP folder > Printer folder > HP Setup and Software (or the printer icon).
    The Setup and software screen will open and you can click on Connect a new printer.
    Thanks, I look forward to hearing back from you.

  • Photosmart 7525 - Mac OS 10.4 driver/software

    HP no longer supports my PowerPC Mac, which runs Mac OS 10.4.11. Unfortunately, HP also generally does not make its printer drivers available outside of a full software suite install (as far as I can tell). If I had access to just the printer driver my guess is that it would work fine under 10.4.11, since later versions of Mac OS use the same printing system. (However, I have never been able to figure out where HP hides printer drivers in OS X.)
    Fortunately, there are third party (hpijs and Gutenprint) drivers for many HP printers, but these do not yet include the Photosmart 7525.
    HP also does not explain which drivers might work with other printers. I've generally been able to find one that works on a printer for which I do not have a "named" driver by trial and error. For example, I can print to the 7525 using a 7550 driver. However, I have no way to know if this is the best choice.
    Does anyone know:
    1. Is there a way to get HP's Photosmart 7525 driver without the software suite?
    2. If not, which other driver (i.e. one found in hpijs or Gutenprint) is likely to give the best printing results?
    3. Would the software listed at the link below, which includes "7500 series photosmart printers" work with the 7525?

    Also, is there third-party scanning software that might work with the 7525 on Mac OS 10.4?
    Thanks.

    Unfortunately, since you are running Tiger v10.4.11, I think the highest iTunes version you can use is 9.
    You should be able to purchase iTunes media on your current version of iTunes regardless.
    Launch iTunes, select iTunes Store in the source list on the left. Click Sign In on the right side of the page. What happens when you do that?
