HP Officejet Pro 8610 Printer Not Printing

I have been using my Officejet Pro for about a week now, and it has been working great! I have set up my e-print, successfully printed from a phone...all wirelessly.  Randomly, the printer stopped printing. It is still connected to the network, and I can actually scan documents from the printer direclty to my computer and to my email, it just wont print from my computer to the printer wirelessly anymore. It still works if I connect a USB, but just not wirelessly.  I have restarted both my printer and computer, re-configured the wireless settings, and instaled the HP Doctor that stated that it could not find any issues with the printer.  I don't get a message or anything, but when I go to the control panel and click on my printer, it says 1 document "error".  Help!  I work remotely and need a wireless printer due to lack of office space. Any suggestions?   

John,
Thanks for your response to my query about printing problems on an HP Officejet Pro K550 printer since upgrading to Mountain Lion.  I usually use the Duplex printing on two sides of the paper. I use A4 size paper (am based in UK); if I substantially increase the footer margins I get printing on all pages. Maybe something to do with the way the printer handles the paper in and out for two-sided printing, although you would expect the problem to then be printing on even pages, not odd. Prior to Mountain Lion, there was no problem in printing footers, but this might just be a coincidence, and it might be the printer on the blink.
I generally only use Microsoft Office 2011 and Adobe Acrobat Pro X version 10.1.4

  • Hp officejet pro 8610 prints solid black on scanned pdf and word doc pictures

    -problem printing scanned pdf document and word doc. photos
    -My new HP Officejet Pro 8610 printed a newly scanned pdf document as an all black picture. I then printed a saved word documtent from my iMac which included a small picture. The document print was acceptable, but the picture was solid black. There were no error messages. These were, my initial tests, to check this new printer.

    Hey there @TM-10 
    Welcome to the Community
    I read through your post about your new Officejet 8610 scanning a document to your computer and printing out all black. I have a couple ideas for you to try.
    Try the steps in this guide: Unexpected Scan Output Using HP Scan Application for HP Multifunction Printers When Using OS X v10.9...
    Press the Power button to turn on the product.
    With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
    If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
    Ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help.
    Good luck

  • 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

    Just bought the following printer: Officejet Pro 8610. Installed it with the cd.

  • Officejet Pro 8610 printing envelopes from MS Word on MacBook Pro

    I have Officejet Pro 8610 that will not print envelopes from MS Word envelopes. Print preview shows all white. I've played with as many settings as I can find. Yesterday, tech support got it to print from pdf, but today it doesn't even do that.

  • Officejet Pro 8610 print job positioning

    Hi, we have just purchased  Officejet Pro 8610  for our business primarily to print our shop invoice with dilivery address sticker quickly. We had tried 2 cheap Canon printers before hand but they had after a few months.
    I had to adjust the template to suit the new hp printer but it is still not positioning correctly on the paper. The space at the top of the page, prints randomly up and down not repeating accuretly enough.
    The frustrating thing is the cheap canons had no problems with this accurate within a 2mm. Iwe are struggling to get an accuracy of 10mm with this professional printer.
    Any help appreciated.

    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.

    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 does not connect to laptop via wireless network

    I have a new HP Officejet Pro 8610. It is connected wirelessly to my home network. My laptop, running Windows 7, is connected to the same network, but cannot find the printer. I have tried turning everything off and resetting the router, but still have the same issue - my laptop cannot find the printer. 
    I am able to email a document from my laptop to the printer using the printer's email address. 
    What can I do to get my laptop to find the printer on the wireless network? 

    Hey!
    This is an issue with your wireless, you either have to get your router looked at you are looking at relocating your printer and your router so they are closer together. If you are able to connect all of your devices to the network fine when you are in the same room; Call HP Technical Phone Support.

  • Problems with hp officejet pro 8610 printing labels

    I have a new HP offficejet Pro 8610 less than 6 months old. I was printing address lables (Avery 8160) and everything seemed fine after the first group then when I started the second set they were out of alignment I readjusted the paper and tried again to print and I get a message that there is a problem with printer or the the paper is not the wrong size for the job and its the same paper so thats not it I tried shutting everything down and starting over and it allowed me to print one and it was perfect but when I tried to print another it went back to same message wrong paper size I am still using same size paper I am using Avery 8160 labels and that is the size on the avery website I am printing from. Any help is much appreciated thank you.

    Hello ,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I would have to agree that the issue is within Microsoft Windows 7 regarding the printing issue with the Officejet L7780. Since the printer will print fine when using Ubuntu, it would appear there is an issue with the drivers and or software on Windows 7.
    Have you tried using the Print and Scan Dr? This will look into the drivers, software, etc on the computer and attempt to resolve on its own. Let me know what the results are when you run it.
    You could try the steps in this HP guide: Installing an Alternate Print Driver in Windows 7 for a USB Cable Connection. The L7780 does not display in the document but it will work with the Deskjet 9800 driver.
    I hope this helps,

    When I install using the downloaded drivers,  after the files extract and the program connects to the printer, when I hit Continue a screen pops up and states  the operating system of this computer is not supported...   even though the 2003 Windows server is on the list.   Is there anything I can do to install the drivers?  All I need is basic printing .   I'm about ready to pack it up and return it... which means the other printers will have to be returned because I like them all to be the same.

  • Times New Roman font will not print on HP Officejet Pro 8610

    My new HP Officejet Pro 8610 will not print documents, spreadsheets, or printer test pages containing Times New Roman font (of any size).  It does not put a job in the print queue.  In Excel, I receive the "Generic_2_Q294552"  error message. My setup:  An HP Pavilion Elite computer NY809AV-ABA e9119t; running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1; HP Laserjet 5L, HP PCS 1310, and HP D4360 all print the font just fine. My new printer:  HP Officejet Pro 8610, firmware revision FDP1CN1502AR, connected via USB cable.  [Also connected via ethernet cable to cable modem.] What I have done so far to troubleshoot the last 3 days:  Reinstalled the printer (3 times), the most recent today with an installer issued today; rebooted the printer; rebooted the computer after each significant change; updated the firmware in the printer; tried two different USB cables; tried printing the fonts in Microsoft Word 7, Microsoft Excel 7, and directly from the font file; reinstalled the Times New Roman fonts from backup; visited the forums and tried all of the solutions I could for any similar problem; tried the winprint, hpzppw71, and hpzpplhn print processors with both RAW and NT EMF 1.008 data types; found and repaired all problems I could find with any hardware and software, as well as updating all software to the latest version.

    Thanks for trying to help.  I am happy to report my experiments and results. Microsoft Word:I open a blank document.  Type something in.  Select the entire text.  Change the font.  When I change to some fonts (those listed on my DOES print) the document shows up in the print queue and prints.  When I change to the other fonts (those listed as DOES NOT print) nothing happens.  It just sits there.  No messages.  No crash.  Nothing in the print queue.  I can walk away for hours (as I have done) and come back and nothing has happened.  When I change back to a DOES print font it prints.  Change it back to a DOES NOT print font and it doesn't.  Repeatable.  Consistent.  No configuration changes or installs have changed it. Microsoft Excel:I open a black spreadsheet.  Type something in.  Highlight the entire text.  Change the font.  When I change to a DOES print font it prints.  When I change to a DOES NOT print font I get this: "Microsoft Office Excel    Your file could not be printed due to an error on HP Officejet Pro 861   on 0.  There are several possible reasons:. There may not be enough memory available.  Try closing files and programs you aren't using.. If you use a network for printing, there may be a problem with the network connection or the printer driver.. There may be loose cables or a bad connection between your computer and printer.For more information about troubleshooting printing problems, chick Help.   Show Help >>" when I click the Show Help >> button I get: "This error can be caused by:
    General problems: The printer may be unavailable, the network may be down, the communication port to the printer may be corrupt or unavailable, a hardware error at the computer may have occurred (out of paper, paper jam, out of ink, out of toner, etc), and a language setting may need to be reset from the Regional Options control panel.
    Local problems: There are several reasons for a local printer (a printer that is attached directly to your computer) to fail:
    Check to make sure the printer has paper, ink, and/or toner and check the cables.
    If the printer appears to be functional and a printer test by the printer itself indicates the printer is working properly, then check the cables, printer port from the computer, and configuration of the printer at the computer.
    Occasionally, an application can develop a conflict with the printer driver and cause a memory leak which corrupts the printer port. If all else fails, restart the computer, recycle the power to the printer, and try printing again.
    Occasionally it is even necessary to delete the printer driver and reinstall the latest version of the printer driver.
    Network problems: There are various reasons for a network printer to be inaccessible: the name may have changed, it may be out of paper, out of ink, out of toner, down for maintenance, the network could be down, or a printer job previous to yours has stalled due to incorrect settings on the user's computer who last submitted a print job, or even your printer driver cannot communicate correctly with the printer. Network related printer failures are usually best handled by your local technical support.
    Memory problemsn occasion, large print jobs with complex graphics or consisting of several hundred pages, which can consume large quantities of memory on the printer, may cause a problem (especially if there was an over run of memory at the printer). You may want to try reducing the amount of complex graphics in your print job, or break the print job up into smaller segments and see if that corrects your problem. It is not uncommon for a very complex graphic to have a defect or error which prevents it from printing on any printer. It may be necessary to load new or revised graphic converters or drivers in order to alleviate a problem of this type.

  • HP Office Jet Pro 8610 will not print but will only fax

    We have a HP Office Pro Jet 8610 and it worked fine until we hooked it up as a fax machine also on Thursday. 
    It used to copy, print, scan perfectly but we need a new fax machine so we went out and bought the phone cord and hooked up a fax line and telephone with built in answering to the Office Jet and the fax works , but now it will not print a document from Open Office to the printer because it tries to make a fax cover page.
    I have run out of ideas can you please help?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    There are two "printer" drivers on there, to print, choose the "Officejet Pro 8610 Printer" instead of the "Officejet Pro 8610 FAX". You probably set the second one as default when the fax function is added, which is for PC fax. If you use the print function more often than fax, make the non-fax one the default printer.

  • 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 officejet pro 8610 won't accept remanufactured generic ink.

    My NEW HP Officejet Pro 8610 Printer will not accept my generic remanufactured ink cartridges.
    My previous printer did "HP OfficeJet Pro 8600" accepted these remanufactured generic ink cartridges but the feed rollers were giving out after 16 months, so I bought another printer from HP. There were no 8600's to be found, so I looked into the 8610 and saw that it accepted the ink I had been using in the past "HP OfficeJet 951", and since I had many remaining remanufactured ink cartridges still remaining, I opted to purchase this new one. This is an earlier model, but very simiilar.
    Now this printer is not accepting the ink at all. All these prompts I am getting. With the 8600 I got prompts also, but then it worked, but here it will not work and says:
    "One or more cartridges appears to be damaged. Remove them and replace with new cartridges".
    I have put in (3 total) two different times, and the previously unopened cartridges are rejected.
    The newer model, the 8600 accepted them eventually, but the older model, the 8610 will not.
    Is there anyone out here who has any helpful assistance?
    Otherwise, I am just going to have to return this for an entire refund for this and my 2 year extended warranty.
    Thank you.
    steveman99

    I am sorry. I guess I wasn't clear.
    the printer had just exhausted all 3 color hp ink cartridges one after another. The same time.
    it only rejected the remanufactured ink cartridges when they were first introduced to the 8610. And these never gave me any trouble with my previous 8600. Please reread my post you responded to adafafter you read this to refresh your memory because this is where myfrustrations lie. Why on my 8600 printer do they work. Yet the 8610, the older model, and my newly purchased printer rejects those remanufactured cartridges???
    Thank you.
