The message reads that there is a printer head problem with my black/yellow, does this mean I just need to replace it or something else on my officejet pro L7580 Thank you Becky

First thing I would do is to remove the yellow and put it back in, making sure it snaps in place properly. If that doesn't fix it you might be having a problem with the electrical connections on the print-head. Print-heads do act up sometimes. If it were mine, I would remove the ink cartridges and then remove the print-head and clean the electrical connections off on the print-head and the corresponding connections on the printer, using a alcohol wipe or something similar. Reinstall the print-head and ink and try it again. If that does not work you may need to replace your print-head. They are about 30-40 bucks online.

More black/yellow print head failure we observed in this series, no remidy for this issue replace the print head..

Try cleaning the print heads. The sensors may be dirty.

It's probably a problem with the black/yellow head.
lift the topup to access the heads. if the heads don't move over to the change station area (all the way left as I recall for that unit) press and hold the * until they do.
lift the big blue flap, then the blue handle on the black/yellow head and pull straight up to remove it.
Take a q-tip dampened with bottled water (dampened, not dripping) and clean the CONTACTS area (not the HEAD, just the little round/square copper pads) on the printhead, and disconnect the power from the printer, and clean the printhead contacts in the printer as well.
Without reinserting the head, close up the head access blue flap, and close the printer lid
press and hold the # and the 6 on the keypad. While holding these, reconnect the printer power
wait for a RESET message of some form to appear on the screen, or for the printer to shut back down.
If the printer demands you replace the damaged/missing head, put the printhead back in at that point, but not unless the printer is asking for it!
Once you have released the buttons, turn the printer back on if it shut itself back off.
put the printhead back in when the printer asks for it, if it hasn't already.
The printer will now go through several minutes or whirring and clicking and so forth. Let it.
In the end, it should produce a calibration page.
If the black prints ok, you're done.

If not, you'll heed to replace the black/yellow (K/Y) head.
You can usually get them where you get your ink.

Try to print something that is pure yellow and pure black. Set it to BEST PHOTO. If you see gaps or missing lines, your print head could be clogged. You will need to use a cleaning solution to remove the clog.

take out printheads. unplugg power cable from back press adn hold down 6 and # buttons on pritner at same time while holding them down plugg it back in. then insert printheads one by one. first insert black/yellow shutt the door adn check for message on pritner screen. if it says printhead missing cyan/megenta it means it detected black/yellow printhead. do same with cyan/megenta adn check for message on screen. if you see no error mesage and both printheads were detected fine let the printheads alligned completely. then if u see same issue it is the pritner whgich need to be replaced.

First thing I would look for is something on the print head contacts. Also is it a new black ink tank? Your old tank may be clogged and thus the ink can not even travel to the print head.

I have the multipass mp700 and have just experienced the same message ..... wrong cartridge. After reading the manual, from the disc, it means that there's something wrong with the print head, most likely needs cleaning, but it won't clean because the printer is sending a malfunction message. I will be trying to clean the head and if that doesn't fix it then I'll buy a new print head. Good luck with the problem.

I had the same problem and found that one of the toner cartridges must have not been seated properly. I removed the black toner cartridge and re-fitted it. The printer now works fine again with no errors. 17H is a code relating to a fault in the rotation ......... possibly one or more toner cartridges need checking. Use the menu on the printer to turn it to the appropriate position (i.e. engine menu then select replacement of whichever toner you are checking).
Hope this fixes your as well.
