N Officejet Pro 8600: error message says printer malfunctions... really?

OfficeJet all-in-one 8600 printed a sheet and then not print again.  Error message on the screen indicates "there is a problem with the printer or ink system.  Turn the printer off, then on.  If a problem persists, contact HP. "I tried to do and was met with a brusque respoonse telling me that my warranty was expired.  It is tied to a way to re - define the printer, but I can't understand what it is, nor can I identify any type of problem with the provided 'tools'.  All cartridges have been checked to ensure that they always have an acceptable level of ink.

The steps outlined in the document here may help resolve the error on your printer Officejet Pro 8600.  If you arrive at eight solution without success it can help to remove the print head as shown in the first step of the document here and clean the electrical contacts on the back.  Use a clean wet coffee filter or some other no fluffy to clean the electrical contacts on the print head as well as on the surfaces of contact on the printer.

  • OfficeJet Pro 6230: Error Message: incompatible print heads

    The printer is not even a month and has worked perfectly, until last week when he simply stopped Mid-print page. There are no jams, no flashing lights, it just stopped printing. I turned it and turn it back on and that's when the ink lights began flashing. First there was black ink, which I changed with a new cartridge (even though I know that the configuration it was not empty). Then each colored ink lights began flashing. I replaced all four cartridges with the new HP ink and the Scan doctor says that the print heads are alternately missing, damaged or incompatible. The message passes whenever I check. I am at a loss and impossible even to contact someone to get this repaired thing (because it is still under warranty).

    None of the troubleshooting techniques worked. I had all the tried before they have been suggested, so I ended up contact HP and receiving a replacement printer. We'll see how it goes.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 +: OfficeJet Pro 8600 + very slow to print

    We recently purchased a new MacBook.  From the beginning on this MacBook, our HP 8600 printer takes long time to start an extremetly to print.  Sometimes it prints ever.  The printer is set up wireless.  Sometimes the print area will say that is having problems connecting to the printer, but not always.

    This only happens on this MaxBook.  I have an iMac and a Windows laptop, both connect to the same wireless printer.  Both of these printing devices print jobs fairly quickly.

    I downloaded the new drivers.  Uninstalled and reinstalled the printer.  Restarted the printer and wireless access point.  Disabled iPV6.

    Don't know what else to try.

  • The HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 does support e-print? I am running Win 7 Pro 64-bit

    Can you please tell me: the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 does support e-print?  I can't find or generate or figure out how to create an e-mail address for this printer.  Thank you.

    Hello BoPeepLamb,

    8600 printer OfficeJet does support ePrint. You can access the e-mail address of printers by allowing Web Services to the main display on the printer. The icon is located on the top left corner of the screen and looks like the sheet of paper with circles behind it. Before you can enable Web Services, you must ensure that you have a valid internet connection first.

    Once you have enabled Web Services, you should have a print sheet mobile printing with a printer code and the link to http://www.eprintcenter.com where you can create an account and customize your e-mail address printers.

    If you have any other questions do not hesitate to reply to this message and I'll try to find an answer for you.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600: Unable to connect printer OfficeJet after update Win10

    I had my Officejet pro 8600 perfectly connected wireless to Win 7 for several years.

    After the update to Win10, I am unable to connect to the printer. The printer status shows that driver is not available.

    I checked Win10 and Adobe by other suggestions from the forum. both are up to date with the latest version.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer Win10 driver and the download driver HP. None succeeded.

    Run the convenience store Win10 shows that the print spooler cannot be started. He is set to start automatically, but is currently stopped. I can not start it manually, and it does not start after a reboot.

    The fixed! I found the following information on a page of the Microsoft Help forum:

    Thanks to http://www.registryrecycler.com/blog/2013/12/how-to-fix-printing-error-in-windows-8-1/ for the fix.

    Apparently, the Windows 8.1 updates had the same problem.

    Editing the registry is necessary. Make sure that you have a backup of the registry before making changes.

    • Press the keys Windows + R on your keyboard to open the run box.
    • Type regedit in the box run and press Enter to open the registry editor.
    • Confirm the UAC message by clicking on the Yes button.
    • In the left pane of the registry editor, expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to find the key below.
    • SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Spooler.
    • While the spooler key is highlighted, you can navigate the right pane to assign the value DependOnService.
    • Double-click the string value to change the data.
    • The data in the value field should contain the text saying RPCSS, followed by http in the next line.
    • Select and delete the letters http and click OK to save your changes.
    • Leave the part of RPCSS to the value data as it is written.
    • Close Registry of Windows and restart your computer.

    Welcome to the HP forums! I hope you enjoy your stay here.

    I understand you see false error messages in the help Wizard on your PC of Windows 10. I can help you with that.

    To address this question of what we will do is to uninstall your printer software currently installed. Once that was removed, you can download and install the most recent drivers by clicking on this link.

    This should prevent the support Assistant to provide you with more false error messages. If you need anything else please let me know.

  • 8600 Officejet Pro 8600 no more stopped printing

    I have an Officejet Pro 8600 Plus 8600 that I installed on my home wireless router.  I use a Dell laptop with the Windows 7 operating system.  I have installed the printer without a problem when I bought it a month ago.  A few days ago, I tried to print a page before going to my work and could not operate.  I don't think much since I'm in a hurry, but later when I returned from work, that my printer was still not working.  I unplugged the printer and close the router and the laptop.  I rebooted everything and always the printer would not work.  No test page or anything.  I uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled and the Test of Fax report prints fine, but when I tried to run the printer test page, I got the error message "Unable to communicate with the printer."  I have worked on this for two days now and nothing I will work.  I used the doctor Print and evrything goes, but still no luck.  Help please?

    WEEL I finally thought to it.  My McAfee did an update that wiped out my ability to print.  I changed the settings for McAfee and I was able to print again.  Thanks for your help!

    When you use the document for scan, copy, fax feeder, etc. the document always ends with two vertical black lines in the middle of the page.  I read a few other posts similar to this and tried all the advice, and nothing seems to have worked.  So far I've tried: cleaning the machine reset, turn it off for a period of time and again, disconnect it from the power supply for five minutes and by him plugging plug (which were the advice given in other posts).  Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    1. you have any security program installed on the computer?

    2 did you a recent software or changes to the material on the computer?

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to disable any anti-virus program and check if the problem persists.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    NOTE: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2:

    You can also run the printer Troubleshooter and check if it helps.

    Open the printer Troubleshooter

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-printer-Troubleshooter

    Method 3:

    I also suggest to try to run the System File Checker scan on the computer. The scan will replace all the Windows files corrupted with new ones.

    Click on the link mentioned below for further guidance on the scanning of the file system Checker

    After that I have upgraded to Windows 10 and Word 2016, envelope and label printing feature would no longer work on all-in-one printer, HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Premium.  Please provide any possible solution.

    Hi @dshirley22,

    Thanks for the response back.

    I would at this point uninstall all previously installed printer software. If you need assistance, here is a document that can help - uninstalling the software of the printer (Windows).

    Once the software is uninstalled, use the HP printer installation wizard to help install the software. This tool will search and find the version of the drivers and the printer software up-to-date.

    Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance.

  • 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 N911a will not print from Windows 8.1

    I have a HP printer Officejet Pro 8600 N911a that returns the 72234 error code everytime I try to print a document from my Windows 8.1 desktop (HP 1520 t).

    Also, there is a single instance of error code 74899

    The same document prints fine on my Windows 7 Desktop and my Windows 7 Netbook.

    Firmware of the printer is: CLP1CN1416AR

    Firmware from the Support Page of the printer appears as: CLP1CN1322CR (2014-07-18)

    What should I do next to be able to print from my computer Windows 8.1.

    Steve

    Note: This is the first issue I had with this printer that was bought a year ago.

    Hello Steve, I hope you're well

    Thanks for getting back to me with your info!

    Yes, I would first of all, running the wizard of wireless configuration from the front panel of the printer (installation program, Menu, Assistant wireless network), make sure that the printer is connected to your network, then proceed to uninstall the printer, restart the PC and reinstall them both back on your computer.

    I hope that this is the solution!

    Have a great Monday!

  • 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.
