Have you changed the print head? Could be a problem with the contact plate in the printhead bay of the carriage.

hi frank thanks for your reply yes I did replace the print head three times in 10 days space as I mentioned before, and cleaned the contacts with iso alcohol yet the machine still asked me to change the same head, at one stage it asked me to re-seat the head which I did but it didn't accept it until I changed it completely, the screen is not asking for any maintenance yet out of no where it asks to change the same head over and over
I spoke to HP and they said it could be either the ink tube or the ink supply PCB board , they quoted me ridiculous price which I would rather throw the machine and not fix it,

Yes, download the service manual and do that yourself. We changed the whole ******* carriage 3 times before my old 26500 went to heaven (long story, carriage rod worn out)
We didn't have any technical support besides that manual and still managed to get away with it. Changing that card is 30 min. job
