All-in-one Officejet pro 8600: HP 8600 prints red as a sort of brown color

I think it is the magenta channel that causes the problem.  I seems that if I try to print anything with red in it, then the Red areas come out as Brown.

Yellow, green and blue seem to be OK.

As it is now, the printer is useless for anything other than black monotone.

Unfortunately, the machine is just out of warranty, so then I am completely sabotaged!

All other test prints go perfectly, it is only fair that the Red comes out: brown!

All received greatefully.

Note, I tried editing a new set of cartridges HP and the problem persists.  Also cleaned, clean the heads several times including third level.

I just tried a full-partial reset without change in condition of impression - always Brown instead of red.

    Hello Maltesem,

    I'm so happy to hear that we were able to get the problem resolved for you.  It's great! 

    As for the small pop-up that appears when scanning, which is part of the new software and cannot be removed.  I know this can be a bit of a pain if you are not used, but it is convenient if the scan does not look right and you want to cancel it.

    If you have any questions or concerns, please by all means email me back and I'll be happy to help you at any time.

    See you soon,.

  • new e-all-in-one officejet pro 8600 black does not print

    I can't print in black with my new printer.

    HP says it's out of warranty. I bought it on Amazon of Bob Electronics and they had him as a monitor in use. Has not been used, but if the warrantly expired.

    Hello @ Tallgrayguy,

    I understand that you can't print with black ink cartridges. I would try to help with this problem.

    Chances are while the printer was sitting as a model of display used, the dried out print head. It's too bad that most print heads are not something you would find at your local big box store.

    On the front panel of your printer, press the arrow outside the screen. Select Configuration.

    Then tap Tools.  From there, locate the printhead cleaning option. Try this three times.

    I hope that this will work. If it isn't I would like to refer you to a post from Bob_Headrick.

    black ink does not.  I read the document completely, and then decide if it fits your situation.

    I would like to know how things will go.

  • All-in-one Officejet Pro 8620: hesitation in printing final page

    Just bought this printer and it works fine except for perhaps as long as 10 seconds in the middle of the last page of a multiple page print job stop.  I had several HP printers over the years and have never had this before.  Generally, the pages just well rip out all the way to the end, but it's very annoying.  It's just a feature of the machine, or can I do something?

    Thanks for your advice.

    Thanks for the tips.  It IS Wi - fi so it might be the issue.  So it goes.

    Take care.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600: Printer does not print in color

    I just got the color cartridges refilled at Costco. Now, my printer does not print in color.  I printed out a diagnosis and cartridges are showing that they are full.  The actual color of magenta is a deep rose, so I know that some of the magenta is crossing. Cyan (blue) and yellow printed black on diagnostic tests.  I know that Costco filled cartridges with the appropriate color because I can see the color on/in the cartridge.  Suggestions on what to try? I bought the printer on January 27, 2013.

  • OfficeJet pro 8600 print a single vertical black line when using the charger

    OfficeJet pro 8600 print a single vertical black line when using the charger

    Hi @realestatejeann,

    I see that you have found one black vertical line when using the ADF. With a few steps, we should be able to solve this problem.

    Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector) This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

    Here is a document for the cleaning of the glass Strip and the underside of the scanner cover.

    Vertical stripes, lines or streaks on Copies, faxes or scans.

    If you need help, let me know.

    Good day!
    Thank you.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600: Printer offline and HP Support for Windows 10 don't come upward

    I'm trying to scan pictures to my computer.  Have upgraded to windows 10. My printer is connected wifi.  I bring the printer in Control Panel, set up my printer and it says printer is offline.  Indications are no good they do not appear to be implemented for users windows 10. When I try to go to the hp support for windows 10, I have just a white screen.  I am very frustrated.  I can print to the printer, but he won't let me not scan to the computer, and that's what I need.

    Hi @Procats,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you cannot scan on Windows 10, with your HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer. I'm happy to discuss this issue scan for you!

    Please, try the following steps:

    Check the connection of the printer on the network and troubleshoot any problems with the printer, router, installation or connection.

    Is it possible to darken the black print on my machine? The copy feature offers this feature, but I can't find anything to printing purposes.

    The only option to obscure the text is to change the print quality on its highest setting. To do this, please follow the steps listed below.

    • In the software, you are trying to print from, click file, and then click print . The print dialog box opens.
    • Select your product in the menu name , and then click Properties . The Properties dialog box opens.
    • Click the paper/quality tab.

  • How are added to the HP Officejet Pro 8600 printing solution Center

    The center of printing solutions shows my Photosmart C5580.  No idea how to add an OfficeJet Pro 8600?

    Shlomi Hi and thanks for a quick response.

    I had hoped to add 8600 Solution Center as an HP upgrade / download link in the menu Wizard printer you mention using the icon, re - set the default printer for the "8600 Fax.

    He also changed the list of this menu screen to be only four: HP printer Asst (but does nothing when a click), Set Prefs, see what printing and the printer to customize.

    Previous menu, as you no doubt refers, had several printer features that included all submenu links functions, I used (including to scan a doc, preferences, etc.).  Frustrating...

    After uninstalling and reinstalling, tweaking, etc, I always have this quick menu by clicking on the icon of tune.  I have tried different methods of scanning as the right click on the printer in Control Panel devices, but the scanning from which lead to a horrible list of basic functions, a confusing list of formats, etc.

    Finally, I did a scan in the screen menu of the printer who made a point "scan" in the Start Menu, I right click it to pin that on the Start Menu, then created a new shortcut on the desktop with the path to him... and now the icon / printer works to get the menu scanning.  Phew!

    About the loss of the Solution Center is regrettable.  Very handy tool to do the various tasks and the refinements of a scanned document that do not exist in the limited functions / buttons on the 8600 scan menu results.

    At the same time and while I'm... To the laserjet subject large workhorse of HP LJet 1320, several other positions and all forums have problems loss of functionality after passage from XP to Win7.  I finally got all but one device works (PCL6/5th, printing on both sides, etc.), but the pilot is only 600 dpi quality close to the project, instead of the prior 1200 dpi (especially good for forms, thin fonts, etc..).  Which is just a discharge on the technology and support for the products that brought me as a customer to use HP in the first place.

    Thanks again for your reply and your suggestions.  Ready to try anything to solve the so-called reliable downloads / upgrades.

    Best regards...

    All these functions work fine if I call them from the physical control on the front of the printer Panel.

    I don't know if these are two separate issues, or the two aspects of the same problem.

  • HP OFFICEJET PRO 8600 PRINTING GIBBERISH AT WINDOWS STARTUP

    Hi all!

    My name is Steve and I have a question. I apologize in advance if I'm duplicating this question from another thread.

    Our office has 3 computers connected to a router. The HP Officejet Pro 8600 is connected to the network. There is a problem with 2 of the calculated.

    The question is then 2 3 computers (1 running XP Professional, 1 running Windows 7 Professional are booted up (off) to the printer start printing gibberish and going to print until its cancellation.) Printing will start until Windows has loaded the login window (user account screen).

    Any suggestions? The major functions of printer for everything else.

    Hello

    We use the same previous printer cable. However, we can certainly try another cable. There is no problem printing with any of the programs that we use with the exception of one of them, (known compatibility issue).

    At this point, we don't know if the gibberish that prints to the windows startup is a problem with windows or perhaps the network.

  • OFFICEJET PRO 8600: PRINTING BLACK AND WHITE ONLY

    Printer does not print in black and white only, even if this option has been selected by "Printer properties" or "Printer Preferences".

    Please read this post then provide some details.  There the error messages on the computer screen or the printer?

    The Officejet Pro 8600 series has separate heads for printing and ink supplies.  To protect the print head of damage the printer requires all inks to be present to print in black only.  If one or more of the inks are exhausted, they must be replaced to allow printing.
