• 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.

• Automatically create color PDF can not deposit Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

  I have an Officejet Pro 8600 Plus and an Apple OSX Yosemite iMac running. I installed the full software from the HP support site, and in particular the analysis of the HP is version 4.4.1 (21).

  I want to create a color PDF directly in a file on my computer to the scanner.

  If I select Save as PDF, I get a b & w image in a file that is automatically created.

  If I select print daily scan opens in HP Scan and I am able to create an image in color, but with additional steps.

  I looked at other similar topics in 2012 and 2013 and saw advice to change the mode in HP utility/Scan to computer/change Scan tasks/editing, but there is no option of color Mode.

  Finally, I figured this out. It CAN be done.

  Go to HP utility/Scan of the computer.

  Make sure that enable Scan to computer is checked.

  Select Edit analysis jobs

  Select Save as PDF/change

  In the presets drop-down, select generalist

  In the section move the items from the Finder, you can also specify the folder where the scans will be saved.

  Saved color, managed directly from the printer scans on my iMac. Sweet!

• do I have to buy color ink cartridges? HP Officejet Pro 8600 more Windows XP

  HP Officejet Pro 8600 more

  Windows XP

  The printer will not print anything (including black and white which is my default setting), at least that I have installed a new yellow ink cartridge.  He says that the cartridge is exhausted and must be replaced before printing.    I have black and white printing color cartridges? Is there a solution? Thank you very much.

  DavidDavid salvation,

  Yes, you will need to replace the yellow cartridge to continue printing. Here's a good explanation of the design of the print mechanism, and what is needed to keep them in good working condition. Your printer is user replaceable print head. With this printer's ink lines that need to be filled in ink in this way that the print head should not be clogged jets in turn cause poor print quality problems.

  Written by Bob_Headrick on the wire note: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Printing-Questions/Officejet-8500-won-t-print-Black-ink-only-if-other-colors-are/m-p/1706581#M67899

  HP, as other printer manufacturers, offers you with permanent print heads printers requiring ink for all colors, avoid the print heads.  HP, like some other manufacturers, also offers printers with user replaceable print heads.  These may of may not require ink in all colors in print, even though damage may occur if the print from the cartridge empty.  Finally, HP as some other manufacturers also offers printers with the printhead into the ink supply.  He is replaced at each change of cartridge.  These printers will happily print with a diet low, empty or many deleted completely same models.

  When you buy your next printer (from HP or from another manufacturer) be sure that you understand what is the type of printer and choose one that fits your needs.

• Officeject Pro 8600 Plus: Officejet Pro 8600 will copy in color but not print in color

  I have an Officejet Pro 8600 Plus able to make copies of color, but it will not print in color of my office.  My printer uses the version of the firmware CLP1CN1416AR.  When I go to print a document in color, I go to the properties of the printer and then advanced and set print in grayscale on Off, but I get still only prints in grayscale.

  Thanks for your suggestions Zac.

  1. we have tried using several different programs (paint, Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat, a test of the printer properties page, etc.), but all printed only in grayscale.

  2. it's connected via Ethernet cable to our Wi - Fi wireless router and then to our laptop.

  3. the ink levels are all above 40%.

  I had already tried electric bike on the printer several times as well as the computer, which did not help.  I tried to change the printer settings default to print in gray and then changed them back to the color, but that did not help either.  I tried resetting the printer, mentioned in another thread (unplug the power cord at the back of the printer, while he was conducting, then unplug the power transformer in the decision-making, hold button power printer for 60 seconds, then reconnect the), but which did not help either.  Finally, I uninstalled the Windows printer and reinstalled a couple of times, and finally, it started working properly again, so, apparently, there was a problem with the driver who eventually got cleared up by reinstalling the printer/software/drivers.

• HP Officejet Pro 8600 black printing/copying has vertical lines on the page. The color is fine.

  HP Officejet Pro 8600.  at 2 weeks.

  Windows XP

  Color copies/prints are very good.  Black prints/copies have vertical lines widths, ranging from top to bottom.  This occurs when it is copied to form glass or through the feeder.

  Suggestions?

  If the unit is producing lines in copies, so I suggest checking a few things. Make sure that the printer is plugged into a wall outlet directly and not in a surge protector. Additionally, make sure that the glass of the scanner (including the small strip on the left) are clean.

  Also, see the steps in the document troubleshooting located here.

• OfficeJet PRO 8600: Exhausted color cartridges

  I work at home and use the Officejet PRO 8600 to make black copies of documents that I print on my HP laserjet printer or other documents only. In very rare occasions, I'll print of the officejet.

  I put the oficejet to print in black only. However, after a period of time (6 monthe or almost) the printer will specify that the color cartrides are exhausted and I need to order an other muti-pack.

  Why the color cartridges must be used upwards if I do not use color cartridges? In any case to avoid?

  Thank you

  Jim K

  There is little ink used in black and all colors at startup and when printing to prevent clogging of the nozzles.

  The document described here how the ink is used.

  There are a few considerations to minimize the ink used during the interview:

  • Always keep the printer plugged in to an outlet.  If an external switch (e.g. a switch power socket) is used the printer will use more ink start.
  • Do not run cleaning cycles of the façade or the Toolbox of the computer, they are rarely necessary and use in any color and black ink.

• HP Officejet Pro 8600 - black lines when copying, colored scanning lines

  Hello

  I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600. When I try to copy from glass, copy of ADF, I get black lines going the length of the pages. Whenver I scan, once more, the glass or ADF I get lines colored, ranging from the length of the analysis. I called HP customer service and the representative told me clean the glass and part inside of the ADF, but the problem still remains. No idea if this is a common problem? More important still, how fix it.

  Do a hard rest on the printer. Let the printer and unplug the power cord. In doing so, it will remove the lines.

  When a solution is found, please indicate the position that solves your problem.

  If I have solved your problem, please do not hesitate to provide laurels and make sure that you mark this thread as provided solution!

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

• OfficeJet pro 8600 vertical black lines printing when you use the scanner/copier of SMA

  I have an Officejet Pro 8600 Plus model N911g that I got a year out of warranty. Worked perfectly until this week when I scanned approximately 50 pages through the ADM.  During the process of digitisation of the black vertical lines began to appear on documents that are scanned or print (color or BW) through the ADM.  Scanning or printing directly from the scanner glass is not the problem.

  I checked, cleaned and cleaned all (rolls, strip scanning, scanning glass) it is possible via the information provide in these forums from other veins knows on their production lines.  No change...

  I unplugged the printer all the network and fax cables and tried scanning or copying with the power of the device, NO CHANGE.  Don't know what the next step might be other than the factory reset (don't have documentation on this process).  Additional suggestions would be appreciated.

• OfficeJet Pro 8600. Printing a list of todo in black and white

  I have the OfficeJet Pro 8600 more and I use an iMac, OS 10.92.

  I want to print a list of Todo comics in black and white rather than in color. (This is a todo list [i.e. Gaston ToDo] available in the applications in the HPePrintCenter).

  I don't see a setting that allows me to set a preference to black and white.

  Suggestions, please.

  Thank you.

  Hello lovemutts,

  Thank you for being a member of the HP support forums.  I see you want to learn more about the print settings with one of printing applications to which you are subscribed.

  I've included the document Getting Started with Print Apps and at the request of delivery print Apps .  In the section titled "Managed print Apps" is a sub-section titled 'print settings.  In there, it says "On some printers connected to the web, a settings option is available on the screen of the print Apps Print Preview mode that provides options to select the type of paper and print quality."  If the application you are using does not offer this option so that you will not be able to change all the predefined print settings.

• OfficeJet Pro 8600 Printhead question

  I bought the Officejet Pro 8600 Plus about a year, and recently the impression was very bad.  I have a lot of horizontal gaps in the photos (color and b & w) as well as in the text.  It is not as crisp as it was when I bought it first.  I use it to write contracts and lately, had to go to the local Kinkos to print that it is not acceptable to give to a potential customer.  I installed the ink HP geniune.  I have tried cleaning the print heads through the tool on the printer, but also download and trying to solve the matter through 'hardware diagnostic tool.'  I always feel the lines of streaks / missing.  According to the report stage of my printer, I only printed 1 266 pages.  I have a hard time to believe that after just as many pages the print head has been overworked or put in his time.  I looked up the cost of a new print head, and at almost half the price of a new printer, I have a hard time to justify the expense.  I really like the printer and won't replace it.  I hope it's just a defective print head that may be covered in some way, or could be replaced at a more reasonable price.

  Opportunities, ideas or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

  I should probably post that I had contacted HP, even if the printer is out of warranty.  I think what saved me was that I was able to pull up my impression of total, I think it was a little more than 1 000.  Obviously a very small amout of draw has been done during the time period.  They were able to send me a new print head, with instructions on how to replace or envelope pre-paid to send the back of an old man.  Touch wood, no problem since then, and I know I have printed a lot more during this period without any problem.

• HP Officejet Pro 8600-general printer error

  A sign on the printer came up to say that I had to fill two of the printer color cartridges.  I did, and then a message pops up saying that he had a problem with "ink system.  This was followed by a message that says General Printer Error "."

  I was advised to put off the printer, then unplug it, without success.

  I took the ink cartridges and repositioned them and put them back again without success.

  I contacted HP support, put my serial number and was informed that my warranty was expired.

  What do you suggest me?

  Hello Busyasabee,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I understand after having to change the cartridges on your HP Officejet Pro 8600, you now get a general print error "ink system.  I see that you have completed the troubleshooting steps base without success.

  I have a recommendation which is mine only and not that of HP, because your HP JO 8600 has a removable print head, you can try to rinse the print head. I had other members of the community to use this method and have been able to print correctly after.

  Now, the video, I send, suggest to buy their cleaning kit. This is not necessary, you can use water and SOAP. If you don't feel comfortable withdrawal and rinsing of the print head is ok, but it's the only other suggestion I have that the printer is out of warranty and troubleshooting of all has been done.
