HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus: problem of print head

Have had this printer for a couple of years without any problems.  All of a sudden getting the message: printhead appears to be missing, not detected, or incorrectly installed. Lived all the recommended diagnostic checks but still a problem. I got it working the first time but then after a few days print message pops up again. The message won't let me come back to the homescreen on the printer.  I took it by a realignment and the printer prints a test page. If the printhead has been the problem, then I thought that he would not be able to print a test page. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your support Gemini02.  As well as through the HP recommended diagnostic tests I blush as the printhead to hot water, but still the same message. I also downloaded and reloaded the drivers, but to no avail.  The machine is 3.5 years old and so I came to the conclusion, it exceeded its use by date.  The cost of a new print head is $ 70 while the printer, HP Officejet pro 8600, is now manufactured and was replaced by the Officejet pro 8620 which sold $275 by HP.  HP said that because of the age of the printer, there is no guarantee that a new printhead will not solve the problem.  I then bit the bullet and ordered a new printer.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus: software the Printer Wizard does nothing and eats CPU

    Hello

    I currently have a problem with the HP printer Assistant software. I use a HP Officejet Pro 8600. Well I uninstalled and reinstalled several times, redownloaded the latest version of the software from the HP site, tried with a wireless connection and a USB connection, but still have this same problem.

    The problem is when I open the printer to the printer Assistant software (scan, definition of printing preferences, etc.) nothing loads and what I noticed is that in the Task Manager, the program is constantly, nonstop to duplicate in the Task Manager and eventually slow down the computer because of the high use of the processor of these duplicates. I can't stop these processes in time compared to the amount of tasks in doubles at this very moment, and the only way to stop it is to restart the computer. I had this problem with Windows 8.1 and so I've upgraded to Windows 10 but exactly the same problem occurs. If I wait long if I get an error (0xc0000142) telling me that I can not load the Printer Wizard, but the process will still duplicate.

    I tried using the printer with other computers, but they do not have a problem by launching the wizard from the printer. I wonder what is happening and why is the Printer Wizard launch multiple neverending himself as tasks on the Task Manager?

    Add to that, printing works fine, it is train to launch the Printing Assistant software that is causing the problem.

    Welcome to the HP Forums @tntipsy,

    I came across your post on the message 'Ink system failure' you see on your premium 8600 Officejet and troubleshooting, you have tried and are currently looking for a new printhead. My personal suggestion would be for you to contact HP directly to discuss a printhead or even a replacement unit. I would honestly suggested a replacement unit on a replacement of the print head, just in case where the same problem occurs with another print head. Details of HP are below for you!

    If you have trouble, let me know and I'll do my best to help.

  • All-in-one printer, HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus will not print the image in the logo of the company

    I have a Mac the OSX Lion version 10.7.3 (11 d 50) I recently installed this printer. I printed the other documents in color without problem.

    Now, I'm trying to print an invoice with my company logo. The X in the logo is an image that has different shades of blue, but it prints other items on the invoice that are blue. It also correctly print the watermark in blue.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you for responding!

    It turns out that I had to change my color matching print settings to make it work. I went under correspondence of colors and changed the option provider corresponding to ColorSync.

    This automatically replaced by the profile glossy color Brochure instead of paper simply. It's a shame as this used toner and does not allow you to print a copy of the project.

    I tried a couple of the other profiles, but so far they use as much toner, or does not print the logo. I was subjected to time constraints, so I had to stop experimentation, but once this project is completed, I will try the other profiles to see if they work.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus - Duplex printing problem

    I use a printer Officejet Pro 8600 Plus (what is the best printer I've ever had, apart from this problem!).  I use it with Windows 8.1.

    He struggles for more than a few pages print using duplex.  The problem seems to get worse when I print a pdf file.  It starts to print very well and made a few pages, but then I get this message "error on HP Officejet Pro 8600.  "Could not print * name * folder.  It appears on the computer not the printer.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Hey there @operationorphan

    I just wanted to add my own suggestions here for the issue of two-sided printing that you had with your Officejet 8600.

    You can try to update the firmware: get the latest Firmware and updates

    If this does not help, try to uninstall the printer software , reboot the PC and reinstall the printer. This should dissipate all software problems.

    I hope that helps!

    If troubleshooting doesn't help not solve your problem, then I would say call the HP Technical Support to see all the other possibilities for you. If you call in North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions: click here.

  • Connected HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus status reads "problem with printer."

    I could just ePrint on an OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus replacement and them have not used for printing yet. I was in the devices page to manage the settings and change an address for one of my devices. The newly added column 8600 State reads 'Online', but also 'problem with printer '. Instructions I was referring to the display panel of the unit for Outlook2003 on the given problem. A check of the display surface showed no information, just a typical home screen. I checked through the display print and found no problems-all functionality is enabled and fully functioning. I checked then the functions of printer in the window 'Printers and devices' of all computers (all running Windows 7 Professional) on the office network. The 8600 are active and full functionality works correctly between the printer and all the computers.

    I then close the printer 8600, left for several minutes, and then lit it back and reconnected. The State says 'Problem with printer' remains in the device window HP.

    I am at a loss as to what this supposed problem can be and don't know what should be a next step. Does anyone have any advice or information that could help in this situation? It would be appreciated. Thanks in advance to those who could help

    HP support responded to my question by e-mail. I was told that the message 'Problem with the printer' is due to a bug in their system. Also said that as long as the status column indicates the printer is "Online" and everything else is fnctioning correctly, don't worry about this.

    I consider that a resolution of the post!

    How can I solve this problem?

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus - ADF scanning problem

    Hello

    I recently bought this printer and used without problem for almost 2 months. However, right now I am struggling with the ADF.

    When I put a document to scan by ADF, I have a thin, black line on re-impressions. It is on the right side of the page, starts from everything at the top and goes down all the way.

    I have even if it is a kind of alignment line (you know when we write try, or its composition, leave us space on both sides)

    This problem does not exist when I scan and print documents of old school way, aka analysis usual. Only the ADF documents'ed have this problem a little. (The thin black line on things reprinted)

    Any recommendations?

    Best regards

    Update: I did what jason_h suggested in step 1 and it worked, this can be closed:
