Wed, 12 Mar 2025 11:28:32 -0700

Hello: I printed my holiday cards and it used a lot of blue and yellow ink. I changed the cartridges and now only the black and magenta are working even though the blue and yellow are full.

Do the print heads need cleaning? How do I do that?

Thanks, Arlene Zapata

Printer failure, Printer or ink system problem. Turn off the printer and turn it on. If the problem continues, contact hp

He gives me this message when I start the printer and he doesn't read the original cartridges, he gets stuck in the message, and he doesn't let anything else be done.

The cartridges are original, although they were also used compatible.

Who has the knowledge to recover this equipment?

Will it serve even when it doesn't show the ink level of original cartridges?

hp Officejet Pro 8600 Plus: How do I fix blurry printing, already tried all the basic diagnostics?

Tue, 18 Apr 2023 18:30:19 -0700

HP Officejet Pro 8600Plus printing is blurry and light for all colors but blue. Was printing fine with refilled cartridges until a few weeks ago. Black ink got low and replaced with brand new HP black ink. Here's what I've tried multiple times that didn't help. What else can I try please?

-Clean printhead

-Align printhead

-Reset printer by unplugging several minutes

-Printing test page: blue boxes look fine. Yellow, red and blackall have vertical lines and faded colors. Black text is blurry and faded. Test pattern lines do not connect fully.

-Printing 20 black text pages to see if problem "resolved itself" as HP site says!!

hp Officejet Pro 8600 Plus: big stripes when i'm making a copy

Wed, 03 Aug 2022 02:14:50 -0700

hi everyone,

I just encounter an issue since two days, when i'm trying to make a copy directly from the printer itself (both with ADF scanner and normal scanner), you can see the attached picture.

I've cleaned the surface window of the scanner, but with no results.

The weird thing is that it only happens when i use the printer only, when i'm printing from the computer, this is fine...

So, any advise will be welcome !

hp Officejet Pro 8600 Plus: Printed text / image out of alignment

Sat, 09 Jan 2021 08:00:05 -0700

Printer has lost text on left side of page. When printing a table containing both text and images for test, the left column and text is missing approx 10mm off left edge of page. Image in second column shows second pass of colour is 12mm to the right of first pass (in apparently the correct position). Further down the page, vertical lines jump 1mm right, then back again a few rows later, then right again. All diagnostic suggestions published by HP have been attempted. Print head replaced and genuine HP cartridges in use. A4 white 80gsm paper only used. HP Printer Test page prints test patterns 1 and 2 perfectly aligned, but loses some of the text off to the left. Any suggestions please? I have a charity newsletter to print in 3 weeks time. An image of the printed table is attached. Please ignore the missing top of page - this has been omitted for privacy reasons. thank you.
