    Printhead

    I have HP Officejet 6600, with USB connect. Keep getting "printhead, missing, uncompatible ". I don't think printhead comes out to clean. Tried wet paper towel behind cartridge holder with some ink on wet towel after manually passing cartridge over towel.
    Still getting same message. Printer about 3 years old. My laptop froze a few days ago. I took out battery and reinserted and laptop worked fine. Printhead error came as soon as I started to try to print. Should I get new printhead?

    HP on-line unable to solve.

    Most printers have a printhead cleaning option.
