OfficeJet Pro 8600 n911g: ink level 8600 rest from scratch with new 950XL

My black cartridge in my 8600 printer ran out of ink. I had already replaced all the colors of three cartridges with a 951XL defined, a month or two ago, and the process went smoothly as planned. Today after replacing the black cartridge, adjustment noise seemed short, and the façade is estimated ink level zero rest.

I tried the following diagnosis:

-Reinsert the black print cartridge

-Reinsert all four cartridges

-market power

-a second new HP 950XL

-test page

-the print head alignment

-clean the printhead

-Printing HP and doctor Scan, install and run - prompted me to update software - which did not fix the problem

Print quality seems good on the test pages. I can only assume that the printer works satisfactorily, but I prefer to resolve this problem and eliminate the uncertainty of my use of the printer. Please suggest how I might solve this problem.

Welcome to the HP community @Huwon,

I came across your post about the black ink cartridges that do not properly record in your Officejet 8600 more, and I wanted to comment with my suggestions and comments. I must say that you tried the troubleshooting steps I would have suggested. You can also try an update to see if that helps. If the problem persists, contact HP to see on a replacement unit.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 B74234 stopped communicating with all our computers

    The copier works fine.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600: Recently a fax pops up when I try to print photos and the picture does not print

    We have a printer all-in-one HP Officejet Pro 8600 operating from a desktop HP with Windows 7. Recently, in the last two weeks my wife told me, we cannot print photos. The documents appear to be printed without a problem, but when trying to print a photo we get a window titled 'Send Fax - HP Officejet Pro 8600'. We have never used or even hung fax capablitly since we have owned this printer (maybe 2-3 years). All of a sudden, this window is displayed when we try to print a photo and the photo does not print.  I can't tell you that my wife did not hit accidentally a wrong button somewhere down the line, but she says she does not. I tried to attach a screenshot of the window, but for some reason that it does not take it. It's probably something very simple, but technically challenged myself, I can't understand. Help, please.

    Thank you

    Vince Pellerito

    Print picture of what program?  Some programs to keep their own default values for the printer.  It seems that the default printer for the printing of the photo program has been set to Fax.  Try to open the program, select the Officejet Pro 8600 as the printer rather than the Officejet Pro 8600 fax.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 analysis stops at Midway

    With the help of a relatively new in Officejet Pro 8600 on my iMac with OSX Mavericks.

    Printer is set up wireless, printing works fine. Scanning did too, until yesterday.

    When I scan a document through HP application scanning, or Mac "scanner" that appears in the Printers window, the printer is now the noise, the status bar starts and then stops. It does not move. I left it like that for hours, just to see what happens, and when I come back the job has been cancelled.

    Wireless connection is obviously good, as I can print and even when scanning printer responds immediately. It just isn't really complete - or even apparently start - the scan.

    Any idea of what is the cause? It seems that this could be a faulty machine.

    Thank you!

    Hello vertov,.

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I'm sorry to hear you're having this problem with your 8600 scanning. A quick way to determine if your printer is having a hardware problem, make a copy.

    If the printer can make a copy, it is not a problem with the hardware with the scanner from scanning. If a scan failure is present on the printer, try looking in the steps detailed here: A 'Scanner failure' Message is displayed on the printer control panel.

    Also it is better to have the printer connected to a wall outlet directly for power, this will help you understand why: issues when connected to an uninterruptible power supply/Strip/surge protector power.

    I'll come back and get your answer.

  • Cannot start "Printer Assistant" Officejet Pro 8600

    The Printer Wizard and my 8600 worked well for over a year.  Now, I can't start "printer Assistant".  This may have been triggered by an 8.1 Win update.  Others on the Discussion Board have said to uninstall all programs, HP, reboot and then download the package "full of features" on the HP site.

    Everything I did.  Installation works very well.  Print, fax and scan all work very well during a test.  A shortcut has been installed on the desktop.  But I can't start the "printer Assistant", either in the upper part of the counter, the Start button, the program file.

    I used the Trouble Shooter to try to find the problem.  Since the troubleshooting I could open "Scan HP - HP Officejet Pro 8600".  From there, I could launch a successful analysis.  But the only way to this page that I found through the Trouble Shooter.

    The Printer Wizard is loaded on my computer: worm 28.0.1315.0 file; 5.16 MB. Last updated on 17/10/12.

    You have any ideas?

    Hi Sticks10,

    Thank you for your reply, I appreciate the clarification. I still think that the patch is a good idea to try.

    If it still does not respond, try the following in the following order:

    1. Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the printer software.
    2. Clean boot the computer. How to perform a boot in Windows.
    3. Disable all antivirus programs. Turn Windows Defender on or off. (This works in Windows 8.1).
    4. Disable the firewall. Turn Windows Firewall on or off. (This works in Windows 8.1).
    5. Create a new user account. Create a user account.
    6. Re-install the software using the printer HP install wizard for Windows.

    Hope this works for you and have a great day!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600: Ink Officejet Pro 8600

    According to the "indication of the ink level", magenta was about 10% or 15%, cyan was 0% and yellow was about 95%. " Black is 25%.
    I replaced the cyan cartridge and before I can even print a single page, magenta level is reported in 0% and still I can not print.
    Can you explain how the magenta level can go from 10% to 0% by simply changing the cyan cartridge? If there is ink in the cartridge magenta before the cyan cartridge has been changed, why are there no ink in the magenta cartridge after that the cyan cartridge has been changed?

    Hey @ellioto,

    I see you have some problems with the ink level on your Officejet Pro 8600 e-all-in-one printer. I can help you with that.

    What is happening is that the gauges are showing you an approximation of the amount of ink remaining in each cartridge is. When you replaced the cyan, the need to align, printer cartridge that uses ink. At this time then the printer has detected that the magenta cartridge was low. Replacement of the cartridge magenta should clear the error message.

  • 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).

  • "Scan To E-mail" configuration on HP Officejet Pro 8600 more N911g

    It's the same problem reported by several other users of this forum to which no solution has been provided.

    I was not successful to set up the scan e-mail option for a HP Officejet Pro 8600 more N911g bought 12 August 2012 and using CLP1CN1150CR firmware.

    I'm trying to do through the interface of the Web server built into the printer from an iMac running Mac OS X 10.6.8 and the 5.8.0 HP utility.  More specifically the page under 'outgoing Scan-> Scan to E-mail-> e-mail profiles.

    I tried 2 SMTP from different servers, each one works well to send the email from the computer: Apple iCloud mail service (formerly Mobile Me, formerly known as.) Mac) and AT & T Net messaging service.  I checked the server name, port number, and authentication login and password were all correct.

    When scanning to email serves as the printer, I get an error message: unable to connect to the server.  Check the address and the name of the server.

    During a test of the computer when configuring a profile of outgoing mail, I get an error message: the device was unable to send the test e-mail message. (EmailAccounts-timeout).

    When I try to configure the page under "Settings-> E-mail Alerts-> mail server" and use exactly the same values as those in the e-mail profile out above, registration and Test option fails with an error message: the device was unable to send the test e-mail message.

    Oddly enough, I am able to use the client to the computer with the option scan to the computer-> e-mail in PDF format or by e-mail in JPEG format.  With this option, the file is scanned and added as an attachment to an e-mail message from the Mail in Mac OS X client.  The e-mail message is sent via SMTP server even when I press the button send.

    All the error messages seem to indicate that the client software of electronic mail of the printer is unable to establish a connection to the SMTP server.  However, it is unclear what configuration setting is one that could be the cause of the problem.

    After further research, I noticed that there is another default possible values of port Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP):

    • Port 25 is the standard SMTP port number.
    • Port 465 is the number of SMTP over SSL, Secure SMTP (SSMTP) port.
    • Port 587 corresponds to the port number dedicated for a presentation Mail (MSA) Agent that uses a variant of SMTP, as specified in RFC 6409, which requires that clients are authorized and authenticated to use the filing of mail service.
