  • Office Jet 6600 Printing Problems

    Replaced all 4 printing cartridges with HP authorized cartridges, and it appears only the Black & Magenta are printing. Cyan & Yellow are not. What needs to be done to get the cyan and yellow to print.

    Hey @srw99 ,
    Thank you for taking the time to post on the HP Forums today! Hope you enjoy the experience.
    I understand you are unable to get ink to print from your Yellow & Cyan; meanwhile, you can print fine from your Black & Magenta. You say that you just purchased genuine HP ink cartridges. Does this mean that before you were using non-HP ink before or refilled ink before?
    Are you receiving any error at all that can help me identify the issue?
    Is there no ink coming out or just a very feint amount?
    Have you tried to do printhead cleaning? If not please take some time and go through these instructions and clean the printhead using the automated cleaning tool.
    1. Go to the Front Panel of the printer.
    2. Select the Setup menu.
    3. Select the Tools sub-category.
    4. Select the Clean Printhead option.
    Clean the printhead as many times as you need to fix the issue as long as after every time you see improvement. If you don't see any improvement then do not continue after the 3rd cleaning.
    Let me know how this goes and get back to me when you get the chance. Have a great day and a wonderful holiday season!

  • Removing ink cartridge from HP office jet 6600 printer

    I replaced all four ink cartridges in my HP Officejet 6600 printer (almost new) and now I can't get the black cartridge out.  The original cartrige was a 932 and I replaced it with a 932XL so it is larger than the original one.  It seems to be jammed in the machine.
    Has anyone else had that problem?  
    I don't like this printer at all.  It doesn't seem to stay connected (it's a wireless) and prints terrible colored pictures.

    Hi janius,
    I am sorry to hear that you have had such difficulty with this printer. I suggest contacting phone support. Hp printers come with a 1 year manufacture warranty, and from the sounds of it you have had the printer for a short period of time. Even if the printer is out of warranty, it is still worth calling as HP will have in and out of warranty options.
    The number to call HP is 1-800-474-6836 for Canada and US, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.

  • I have a Office Jet 6600 and cannot get it to print. I have power to the monitor.

    I have an HP Office Jet 6600 and it stopped printing. I use HP ink 932xl and 933xl. The message on my  computer is: Missing or failed print head. The print head appears to be missing, incorrectly installed or incompatible. The monotor states: There is a problem with the printer or the ink system. Turn the printer off, than on. If the problem persis contact HP. So please tell how I can get my printer to work. This problem start about 3 weeks ago but I was out of the country  for 12 days. I rebooted the desk top and ended up with 1 print job but than this famous message became trapped in my computer. 

    Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion p6-2127c Desktop Computer. Based on the specs, your computer has one DVI-D (digital) out and one VGA (analog) out. No adapter is going to change the DVI-D to VGA.
    (#1) - DVI-D (digital out only)     (#2) - VGA (analog out only)
    Using a VGA analog "dual tail adapter" won't work either. With both monitors connected to the VGA port, your computer won't be able to identify the correct monitor settings because of communications conflicts between the devices. This setup will only work with one DVI-D monitor and one VGA monitor.

  • I have a hp office jet 6600. It will not wake up to receive e-print.

    I just bought a office Jett 6600. It will only recieve E-print when it is awake. The print will not wake up to receive eprint. Not much good if i am traveling. <script id="JSScriptForDynamicControls" type="text/javascript" src="https://www.billeo.com/page/js/amex/insitedominspector.js"></script>

    I would make sure printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet. I would also make sure that printer had latest firmware update.

  • My iPad will not print to my wireless hp office jet 6600 anymore

    MY iPad will no longer print to my wireless hp office jet 6600 printer

    Hi Everyone,
    Don't spend too much time trying to figure this out.  Apple has total control of what apple products can do.  Since the upgrade to IOS my 6600 HP printer no longer is recognized by my Ipad.  Just to add insult to injury my Iphone's wifi is now greyed out and I can no longer use wifi.
    I didn't see this coming but think about how apple can force you to upgrade to other products by simply limiting a device's capability through an operating system upgrade.
    I made an appointment with an Apple genius today and they said "Sorry this is a hardware issue (Iphone) and you will need to upgrade."  Of course I will, a $700 phone or Ipad should only last a couple of years... right?
    I am not upset but I will be more critical in my future purchases of Apple products.

    Hello rcblv. In order to assist you, I need to determine if the issue is hardware or software related. I want you to make a photocopy and perform a printer status report. I've included a link to the manual of this printer in case you need it. Let me know as soon as possible what the results are. I'm only here to help!

    I used my HP Office Jet 6600 All in one; yesterday to make several copies and it worked just fine. Today when I went to make some copies, the printer read "Error: There is a problem with the printer or ink system. Turn th printer off, then on. If problem persists. Contact HP" I have done this numerous times. Nothing, I contacted HP and all the help/advice that they could give was try cleaning out the ink cartridges. I also did this, but that did nothing.  So I am left with problem. has this happened to anyone? Anyone have any suggestions?

  • HP Office Jet 6600, cost of 933 HP ink cartridges same for regular and xl?

    Hi,
    The XL cartridges are physically same size with the normal cartridges, only THE volumes of ink inside are not the same. Normally the volume of ink inside a XLcartridge is more than double the volume of ink inside a normal cartridge.
    Hope this helps. Note: they must be physcally same size otherwise they won't fit.

  • My HP office jet 6500 printer is stuck on pause. I do not have an admin name or password as it is a wireless printer and I never had to set one up.  It keeps asking me for admin name and password...

    My HP office jet 6500 printer is stuck on pause.  I do not have an admin name or password that it keeps prompting me to give, as it is a wireless printer and that info was not required when we set up the printer.  I have checked all diagnostics and connections and they are all good/passed.  I am so frustrated!!!    This has never happened in the past.

    What is asking you for an admin name and password? What does the dialog say, exactly?
    What model iMac are you using, and which OS version?
    If it is earlier than Lion or Snow Leopard, try deleting the printer and adding it again as explained in this document
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3140
    Otherwise you can "reset the printing system" as explained here

    dawie,
    Here is a link to a post that has some good information on mirror image printing and what has worked for some other people. You should be able to go to Control Panel>Printers>right click on printer>Properties>under General tab click Printing Preferences>under Advanced Tab click Mirror Image ON. However, like i said others have had some issues with this. Hopefully you will find the link below helpful.

  • Cant set up my HP office jet 8600 printer with my iPad mini

    Can't set my HP office jet 8600 printer with my iPad mini

    That is not an AirPrint supported printer. Check for compatibility here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    Check the App Store for an HP app that may provide limited printing functionality. Alternatively, you can use your computer as a wireless print server using an app like Printopia. Note that your computer must be on and able to print for this solution to work.
