Performed the suggested steps over the last couple months. Did not resolve the issue. My 8610 apparently is plagued with the dying printhead issue. My duty cycle is so low that it's not that. I have used non-hp inks, but that's not "really" an issue with anyone other than HP. The printhead issues have arisen after 2 official HP ink cart cycles, so if anything I'd blame them. Looking at the mechanical and electronics on the printhead, I don't see a point of failure, unless the firmware makes a failure issue. That I'm facing having to fork out $169 for a printhead for a $240 printer just chaps my hide. Why can't you make them more affordable, they're not supposed to be a profit center. Unless the point is buy another printer instead.
