HP Officejet Pro 8610 lost fax contacts list

One of the ladies in our office was attempting to use the digital fax option on our 8610 & somehow the fax contacts list has disappeared. The recent fax list & speed dial lists are there but not the contact list. When I try to add a new contact, it goes through as if the contact was added but then I cannot see the list anywhere. Help!

Hello there @Tazman804 , I hope you're well!
I have some ideas in mind that may help with the problem you're having with your fax contacts.
I would suggest connecting to the Embedded Web Server, to see if you can see an option to retrieve your fax contacts and restore them. I am unsure if you would have this option but it would help to have a look, and also check to see if you can back them up for future reference.
Accessing the HP Embedded Web Server
If that does not work, you may need to recreate them, but first try updating the printers firmware.
If your printer is on a wireless network, you can select Setup, Web Services, Printer Update and Check for Update from the front panel of the unit.
I hope you enjoy your Thursday

HP Officejet Pro 8610 fax error message

Good morning. I have two Officejet Pro 8610s. One is in my office running MS Office 7, the other is at home running Mac.
To conserve power I have both printers set to turn off in the evenings. Neither is being used as a fax machine and neither has ever had the phone cord plugged in.
On both printers I am consistently getting the error message "Telephone cord is connected. To receive faxes, the printer must be turned on. Note that the printer is scheduled to be turned off at XX:XX every (days listed). To change the schedule, use the Schedule On and Off feature in the Setup menu."
Almost everytime I go to make copies or initiate a scan from the printer I have to click "OK" for this error. The error also pops up about every 30 minutes and makes a ding. This wouldn't be annoying at all except the printer is positioned next to my left ear and I"ve been listening to it for six months.
How do I stop these messages, aside from removing the scheduled turn off and on?
Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Hello @drummer12345 ,
Welcome to the HP forum.
I understand that you are getting a fax error message form your two 8610's. I would like to help you with this issue.
I find it odd that you get this message. You mentioned that you have never set the unit up for fax.
Please take a moment and make sure that no cords are plugged into the Fax ports on the printer.
If there are none, go into the setup menu.
Once in the setup menu, select the fax setup option.
Go into the advanced fax setup option.
scroll to the bottom of the list and select restore defaults.
If that does not work try a hard reset.
With the printer powered on, unplug the power cord.
Wait at least 30 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the printer.
If this was happening to just one printer, I would believe this to be a firmware issue.
For this to happen to both your printers, I get a feeling it could be something related to the printers environment.

Officejet Pro 8610 - Answer a call by phone then receive a fax REMOTELY

Hello everyone
We just bought and installed an Officejet Pro 8610 as a fax machine on our home/office phone line.
The phone line also receives regular calls and a phone is connected to the line BUT 2 FLOORS ABOVE.
Is there a way to receive a fax after answering the call from the phone ?
If the phone was close the Officejet we could start the fax using the touch panel, but this is not the case.
We had a standard fax machine (Sharp UX-238) that can be started remotely right from the phone that answers the call simply digiting "5**" .
(see also http://files.sharpusa.com/Downloads/ForBusiness/DocumentSystems/MFPsPrinters/Manuals/MX6240N_7040N/c...
We wondering if similar behavior or so is available on the Officejet Pro 8610.
This question was solved.

Hi,
If yo pick up your phone and hear a fax sounds, dial "123" from your phone and that should cause the fax to answer the call.
If you do not see such response, ensure that Error Correction Mode is enabled within the printer setup and check again:
On the printer control panel, swipe the display to scroll to Setup , and then touch the Setup icon ( ).
Touch Fax Setup , and then touch Advanced Fax Setup .
Touch Error Correction Mode .
Touch On.
Touch the Home icon ( ) to return to the main screen.

HP Officejet Pro 8610 Add Printer issue on Mac

I purchased the HP Officejet Pro 8610 and cannot get it successfully set up on my MacBook Pro (operating OS X 10.7.5). During the "Add Printer" phase, I receive the following error message: "The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software".
I've downloaded and completed the steps up to this point by using the link from install CD (HP-Officejet-Pro-8610_v12.32.0.dmg) and by downloading after unsuccessfully troubleshooting from the HP webite (HP-Officejet-Pro_8610_12.32.0-2.dmg).
Can you please assist in determing what my next step should be?

Hi,
First reboot your Mac, then click the Apple icon and select Software Update.
From the listed app store click the Store menu and then on Repload Page.
Be sure to install any listed HP or Apple update.
Once you are done, open Print & Scan and try adding the printer again.
May you see any difference?

HP Officejet Pro 8610 - Error Code: " 0xc19a0013" (missing or failed printhead)

I purchased the printer (HP Officejet Pro 8610 e-All-in-one printer) in January, 2015. The printer functioned properly - copy, fax, and scan, until two days ago. Now, it does not print at all. Received an error code: "0xc19a0013" (Missing or Failed Printhead). An expanded version of the error code reads: "The Printhead appears to be missing, not detected, or incorrectly installed. Error Code: 0xc19a0013. The printer uses a removable printhead, HP Ink Cartridges 950 (black) and 951(cmy). I have used HP Support Troubleshooting recommendations: all software and firmware for this printer is installed; the HP ink cartridges are not low or empty; removed the ink cartridges from the printhead and reinstalled them.
There are multible steps in the troubleshooting recommendation, but I stopped at removing the printhead. Because of my technical inexperience, and there were too many ceveats (beware, caution, proper reinstallation, and etc.) with removing the printhead that could cause greater problems. So, I stopped at removing and cleaning the printhead. Also, used the HP Printer Scan Doctor for assistance. The tool for cleaning the printhead doesn't work. What troubles me most with the 0xc19a0013 error code is its explanation: The printhead appears to be missing, not detected, or incorrectly installed. I can use all the help I can get to understand what is going on with the error code that I have received, and how to resolve the malfunctioning printer.

Mac can't install USB/Ethernet extension Officejet Pro 8610

Hi,
Please try repairing the disk permissions as following:
1. Open the the Applications folder.
2. Go to the Utilities folder.
3. Double-click on Disk Utility.
4. Select the hard drive containing the boot volume.
5. Go to the First Aid tab and select Repair Disk Permissions.

Officejet Pro 8610: Will not Auto Answer

Evening all. We just purchased two HP Officejet Pro 8610's and have set them up at the office, however, we have noticed that even though we have the Auto Answer feature enabled, neither machine is automatically answering. Instead they are still requiring a manual "yes, go ahead and answer that" button press which does not work for us as we often do not have people around those machines.
In running a Fax Test Report I got the following print-out...
Fax Hardware Test: PASS
Fax Connected to Active Telephone Wall Jack: PASS
Phone Cord Connected to Correct Port on Fax: PASS
Using Correct Type of Phone Cord with Fax: PASS
Dial Tone Detection: PASS
Fax Line Condition Test: PASS
Language: English
Country/Region: USA
Auto Answer: On
Rings to Answer: 2
Fax Paper Size: Letter
Tone or Pulse Dialing: Tone Dialing
Fax Sound Volume: Soft
Distinctive Ring: Single Rings

Automatic Reduction: On
Backup Fax Reception: On
Error Correction Mode: On
Fax Speed: Medium (14400)

Our header and number have also been set. At this time I am assuming I missed something in the User's Manual, since this is happening with both machines. Might someone know of what I missed?
This question was solved.

Hi RandyT9,
I believe it is related to distintive ring setting. Have you tried to set the Distinctive Ring feature to All Rings and see if the printer can answer it automatically?
If you using distintive ring service, please refer to User manual on the distinctive ring setting.
If you are not using a distinctive ring service, check to make sure that the Distinctive Ring
feature on the printer is set to All Rings.
Hope this may helps.

HP Officejet Pro 8610 (Network)' is offline every morning

I am running Windows 8. I use IE 11 and Chrome on occasion. Every morning I have trouble "waking up" my printer. I get "HP Officejet Pro 8610 (Network)' is offline". Sometimes turning the printer on and off resets it but today nothing seems to work. I even updated drivers. The rest of my network (excluding printer usage) is working fine. I have not been on a public network so that is not an issue nor has anyone else in our household. I need to correct this every morning problem. Really, any time the printer goes to sleep I have this issue. I'm unsure if I can stop it from going to sleep or not since I can't even see it from any of our computers. Someone please help. I've been dealing with this about a month. I had previously purchased an Epson printer similar and it now sits in a box in my office because of similiar annoying issues. I previously had HP all-in-ones for about 15 years with no problems. This one is starting to make me wonder about the declining quality of HP printers. Please help as soon as possible. My son has a paper due Tuesday and can't print it. Thanks

Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand your Officejet 8610 is offline every morning and it seems like this printer has trouble waking up. I will do my best to assist you! Please follow this entire HP document on What is Sleep Mode? You can try updating the firmware, which should help, since your printer is losing wireless connection when it goes to sleep: 1) Press the right arrow on your printer2) Press Setup (Wrench)3) Press Web Services4) Press Printer update and check for update now Make sure this printer is plugged into a direct wall, not a surge protector. I just want to see if this makes a difference. Another option you have is setting up schedule on and off. This will help with the sleep mode, as you will determine what time you would like this printer to turn and off. Note-If you decided to go down this route, if you receive faxes all the time, schedule on/off might not be a good idea. If you set a time frame when this printer is supposed to turn off, then you will not receive a fax. Also, if ePrint is enabled, this feature will not work. 1) Press the setup menu (Wrench)2) Press power management3) Press Schedule On Yes and set the time frame4) Press Schedule Off Yes and set the time frame I just want to make sure that your printer isn't going offline because of your router, not by the sleep mode. Just in case, I will provide an HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. This will allow you to set a static IP address. Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

HP OFFICEJET PRO 8610 SCANNER IS BUSY

I recently set up a new system for a friend. He is using the officejet pro 8610 with a new mac using osx 10.9.
The printer is set up wirelessly. Printing works but the scanner keeps giving an error that it is busy.
From the printer I can attempt to scan to his computer and it appears as though it is contacting the computer and preparing to scan but it errors out. Usually with a message regarding the scanner being busy.
I can attempt to scan from the computer as well but that doesn't work either.
I have pulled the power from the printer and rebooted. I have done the disk repair and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software from the website.
I also attempted to install the new firmware but for some reason got an error that I had cancelled the process when in fact I did not.
Anyone??

Hello lbotto, and welcome to the HP Forums.
I see you are running into scan issues. I would like to try and help.
I would recommend following the steps in this document on Mac OS X: Scanning Software Does Not Open or Stops Responding.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

HP Officejet Pro 8610 Will Not Print

I have a new Officejet Pro 8610 which has been working fine but today it would not print. Everyting else still worked, the printer is detected by USB and all of the cleaning/ alignment procedures work from my PC as normal. Scaning a document worked OK as well. I tried to run a test print from the printer list on windows, this didn't work either. So I uninstalled the supplied software and reinstalled it again, still would not print. At this point I installed the software on my old laptop and connected if by USB again and it worked fine, printed straight away. The only difference in the install was when selecting which additional programmes to install, one said it was already installed even though I had unistalled the software before. That programme was the Product Improvement Study which I can't get rid of. Everytime it is still there. Is this causing my problems and how do I get it off my PC as I am unable to find it anywhere to remove it. Any help would be appreciated.

no one answered this questio for me or even gave me advice....
I got it to print from explorer but not chrome .So for some reason it decided to stop printing from chrome all on its on.Not sure how long it ill print from ie but we'll see .thanks for no advice

HP Officejet Pro 8610 setup issues Is there a problem using a MIFI?

I just bought this HP Officejet Pro. After trying all day yesterday with your support team, it was suggested I take it back to the store. I did and have purchase another HP Officejet Pro 8610 and am having the same problems. The on button goes to sleep but I cannot push for it to wake, I must unplug it. In addition, I cannot get it to recognize the computer to scan unless I have it connected to the commputer so it can't be wireless.

I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post serial numbers and case details.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8610 Cartridge problem

I just buy new cartridges for HP OfficeJet Pro 8610. Model of cartridges is 950XL and 951XL C,M,Y. It's all brend new and original cartridges. The problem is that when i install cartridges in printer the massage appear: " Older generation cartridge installed ". I spend a lot off money to buy this cartridges and it's very disappointing that i dont have my printer for work. Please HP, find a way to fix this issue that you made and sand me a working solution.

Hi,
What Warranty end date is listed on the cartridge? is it still listed as warranties or not?
Also have a look on the error message on the printer, which cartridge it refers to? it should list a colored mark with the specific cartridge identification (C/Y/M/K)
If the Warranry end date has passed, that means the cartridge will not be accepted by the printer and should be replaced to a current one... if that is the case I would suggest conacting the retailer and replace the ink cartridge.
You may check the following document which deals with this error:

HP Officejet Pro 8610 Catridge Problem

Bought a new HP Officejet Pro 8610 Printer. Setup Catridge shows continously "Catridge Problem" and later printed a test page and 2 other sheets while we were asleep. I decided, as a result of this accidental and unexpected printout, to buy a new catridhge set. New complete catridges were sent to me from the manufacturer itself, HP. I have correctly installed the catridges, and have repeated same step as instructed several times over. But annoyingly, this "Catridge Problem" will not go away. What should I do next. I had previously returned it to Currys and they said because I needed new set of ink hence the problem. Should I return it again or is their solution other than the one in their instruction book which is repeatedly failing....

Hi @Rose-Joe
I am sorry to hear about the troubles you are having with your Officejet 8610. The following document address cartridge errors, although the specific error you are seeing may not be mentioned, the document will guide you through the necessary steps to troubleshoot the issue; A 'Cartridge Missing' or 'Incompatible Ink Cartridges' Error Message.
If the issue persists, I recommend calling HP and letting the know the issue as well as the steps you have already completed. It may be helpful to even let them know you completed all of the steps in HP document #c04090902.
If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
HP printers generally have a 1 year warranty from their purchase date, you can verify the warranty using the following link if you would like; warranty check.
HP will, at HP's option, either replace products under warranty that prove to be defective or refund the purchase price.
To find the “Warranty Ends” date on your cartridges, look in the following table for the date's location on each product. The date follows the YYYY/MM/DD or YYYY/MM format, where YYYY indicates the year, MM indicates the month, and DD indicates the day.
I hope this helps.
