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.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600: Damaged ink cartridge message

    "" After the release of a paper jam, I have received messages to replace the ink - black, magenta, yellow - cartridges (which I did), then received message that the black cartridge "appears to be damaged"-it's genuine HP and straight out of the box. The level of the yellow cartridge is recognized by my computer but the magenta watch low (despite being also authentic HP, straight out of the box). I'm suspicious that the problem is with your printer, not the cartridges - ideas?

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500: New color cartridges do not work

    I have the model A909a. It was working fine until I replaced the old ink cartridges. Since I put in the new, black works well enough, the magenta works occasionally and work of yellow or cyan at all. They are not expired. I tried all the troubleshooting suggestions. Align the print heads not on either. I ran the function of print head cleaning, print head alignment function and calibration. Nothing works. The color ink levels are declining, but I certainly don't know where he's going.

    I hope you can help.

    / I used to be able to print color... all of a sudden, all prints are grayscale only... ran diagnostics and had boxes of colors on this impression, but not on normal printing. What could happen. I use fineprint to intercept the print pages, but even go directly to print, again, the problem occurs.

    In addition, I had put the tray two others to be the default value for the paper, and I used the upper tray for photo printing.  Now all faults printing to the top shelf.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
