Utilization of a printhead resistance sensor and a model to determine a printer status

A device, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
• receive electrical resistance data associated with a printhead of a printer;
• determine, using a printhead analysis model, a status of a printhead of the printer based on the electrical resistance data,
• wherein the printhead analysis model is trained based on reference data that includes reference images associated with printed content from historical printing operations and corresponding electrical resistance measurements for one or more respective printheads of the one or more printers;
• and
• perform, based on the status, an action associated with the printhead of the printer,
• wherein the printhead analysis model comprises a machine learning model that is trained according to an unsupervised learning technique,
• wherein the reference data includes respective historical printhead statuses associated with the one or more respective printheads that are detected in association with the historical printing operations.

A tangible machine-readable medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the device to:
• receive electrical resistance data associated with a printhead of a printer;
• determine, using a printhead analysis model, a status of a printhead of the printer based on the electrical resistance data, the printhead analysis model is trained based on reference data that includes reference images associated with printed content from historical printing operations and corresponding electrical resistance measurements for one or more respective printheads of a plurality of reference printers;
• and
• perform, based on the status, an action associated with the printhead of the printer,
• wherein the plurality of reference printers include:
• a first set of printers with printheads that have been used in less than or equal to a threshold quantity of print operations, and
• a second set of printers with printheads that have been used in more than the threshold quantity of print operations,
• wherein the reference data indicates which of the historical printing operations are associated with the first set of printers and which of the historical printing operations are associated with the second set of printers.
