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.

hp Officejet Pro 8600 Plus: Autofeed rollers jamming causing paper to shift

Thu, 13 Aug 2020 05:58:37 -0700

When I insert paper to copy thru the autofeeder, the rollers grab the paper to begin the copy. Halfway into the autofeed process, the original page begins to shift as if the roller(s) aren’t grabbing the entire page. When the copy process is complete, the original page has a crushed side and the copied page print is skewed. Is this repairable?

with my hp 8500a plus i have a problem, she displays that the toner cartridge has expired. then she reboots again and again. i have another officejet pro k5400 and that does not have any problem with cartridges. so there must be a chip in the 940xl series cartridges i teturned the expired cartridges (dated 2017 december) to the dealer, i am waiting for their answer. i cannot change the language from dutch to english for this. even hard reset does not work with power off method.

so my question is: does it really have a date contol chip, and how to reset the printer to factory state?

hp Officejet Pro 8600 Plus: How do I move printhead from left side that is stuck there?

Mon, 22 Apr 2019 16:18:53 -0700

Error says cartridge Jam but it is stuck on left side. When I do as instructed it try’s to move but just makes a clunking sound and does not move along the rail. There could be a tiny piece of paper stuck under it but I can not make it move to the right to clear the path. I was hoping there is a release button some where that would let it move freely but I can’t find it. Any ideas?

hp Officejet Pro 8600 Plus: Panel reading "preparing PRINTER"

Fri, 14 Dec 2018 17:29:04 -0700

Attempted to change the black ink cartridge. When I open the panel door, the cartridges do not move to the left so that I can access them. The display panel reads “Preparing Printer”. It has been reading that for at least two hours. Admittedly I am not tech savvy, so I need some help! thanks.

hp Officejet Pro 8600 Plus: The jam box on the back of the printer cannot be reinstalled.

Thu, 23 Nov 2017 22:09:22 -0700

The double side print device on the back of the printer can not be reinstalled. There are two flat male prongs, but only one has a slot for it to fit. I have reinstalled it before with no problem. Has something not gone back into place. All parts seem solid.

hp Officejet Pro 8600 Plus: How do you close the touchpad after opening it?

Mon, 25 Sep 2017 23:00:58 -0700

I was curious as to if I could open the touchpad, and after I did it was hard to push back in. I could use strength to push it in, but I am afraid that that would corrupt the system and damage the system. Just saying, it is supposed to be open like that, but I just don't know how to close it.

hp Officejet Pro 8600 Plus: How to disassemble and repair inkhead ribbon drive

Sun, 24 Sep 2017 20:57:50 -0700

I have the printer and I can see exactly what is wrong with it: The ribbon drive mechanism has broken free of the actual print head. I imagine that it would be easy enough to fix with some strong glue, but I am unfamiliar with the teardown and parts accessing of this printer. Before I go through the trial and error process, potentially breaking something, I thought I'd throw the question out there and see if anyone else already knows.

Thanks!

hp Officejet Pro 8600 Plus: text is cut off on the margins and distorted

Mon, 14 Aug 2017 19:28:39 -0700

When I print a page the text is cut off on the margin... as if the print head went too far over. And the way the head passes on the page results in the image/text not being aligned. And the text in the middle of the page looks stretched out/distorted. I tried the print alignment option in the tools, but after it prints the test page it displays a failed message.
