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.

  • 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: 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...

    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 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.

  • Officejet Pro 8610 won't accept new ink levels

    I love my new printer but of course, I have run into problems.  Once I was warned about ink levels in some of my cartridges getting low, I went online and purchased brand new HP brand replacements.  The printer report confirms they are HP despite getting some sceptisicm from a tech agent about the authemticity of the ink since I didn't purchases directly from HP.
    In any case, I know how to replace the ink cartridges and have done so for the 2 colours needing  the change - cyana and black.  Now, the printer does not recognises that it has new full cartidges.  The printer keeps warning me that the cyan and black are critically low.  Eventually, I expect it will stop printing full stop.  
    This is annoying.  It seems like some kind of sensor issue and the printer is not getting the signal.
    I have shut down the computer and printer altogther and rebooted both, no luck.
    I have done another alignment and then shut off and on again (both computer and printer).
    Nothing seems to work.  Please help and don't tell me I need to buy new ink cartirdges again.  They clearly WORK as I can print with them but the pronter WILL NOT RECOGNISE the new full ink levels.  I need to know the levels in order to know when to purchase more ink in time for the next dry out.

    Hey @CanadaMona,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I would like to assist you with resolving the cartridge detection issues that you're experiencing on your HP Officejet Pro 8610 e-All-in-One Printer. I understand that you have already replaced the black and cyan cartridges to no avail. This issue does sound like it may be a printhead issue. The printhead is what reads your cartridges and controls the ink for going on the paper. If the printhead is defective it can cause issues with detecting cartridges. I'm going to run you through some troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue.
    Step 1: Check the Printhead:
    1. Place your fingers into the slot on the left side of the printer, and then pull to open the cartridge access door. The carriage moves to the left side of the printer. Wait until the carriage is idle and silent before you proceed.
    1 - Slot for opening the cartridge access door
    2.  To the right of your black cartridge you will see the grey printhead latch. Please lift that latch.
    3. Grasp the sides of the printhead, and then lift the printhead and pull it toward you to remove it. Please leave the cartridges in the printhead while you remove it.
    4. With the printhead removed, close the cartridge access door.
    5. Power off the printer.
    6. Power the printer back on. Once the printer comes on it will give you an error indicating that the 'printhead is missing' or that the 'cartridges are missing or damaged'. At this point, open the cartridge access door.
    7. Reinstall the printhead.
    8. Ensure that you snap the printhead latch back down to lock the mechanism in place.
    9. Close the cartridge access door.
    Is the low ink message still displaying on the front panel of the printer?
    If so, please proceed to the next step.
    Step 2: Clean the cartridge contacts:
    Find a clean, lint-free cloth (eyeglass wipes or coffee filters work well) that you can use to clean the cartridge contacts.
    Press the Power button to turn on the printer, if it is not already on.
    Place your fingers into the slot on the left side of the printer, and then pull to open the cartridge access door. The carriage moves to the left side of the printer. Wait until the carriage is idle and silent before you proceed.
     Open the cartridge access door
    1 - Slot for opening the cartridge access door
    Push in on the front of the problem cartridge to release it, and then pull the cartridge toward you to remove it from its slot.
    Remove the problem cartridge from its slot
    With a clean, lint-free cloth (eyeglass wipes or coffee filters work well), wipe the copper-colored contact on the cartridge.
     Copper-colored contact on the cartridge
    Carefully reinsert the cartridge into its slot, and then push the cartridge forward until it clicks into place.
    NOTE: Make sure that the colored dot on the cartridge label matches the colored dot on the carriage slot.
    Insert the cartridge into its color-coded slot
    Repeat these steps for the other cartridges, if necessary.
    Close the cartridge access door.
    Close the cartridge access door
    Please let me know if the steps I've provided resolve your issue. Good luck!

  • 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.

  • HP Officejet pro 8610 scan to computer OSX 10.10

    Dear all,
    I've just bought a HP Officejet pro 8610 and it prints like a charm. I can't however scan to my computer. According to the manual I have to activate the scan to computer function in the utility program but I have no such option. Am I missing something? It works fine on my dads windows 8.1 laptop.
    With kind regards,
    Anthony

    Hi charlene025,
    Thank you again for responding!
    It sounds like there is a driver conflict on your computer, especially since it is showing an older printer. I am going to recommend the following:
    Uninstall the printer software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Reset the printing system. OS X Yosemite: Reset the printing system.
    Verify and repair disk permissions.  Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions.
    Reboot the computer.
    Reinstall the software from this website. HP Officejet Pro 8610 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers.
    Once these steps are completed try and re-enable the scan to computer function again.
    Hope this works!

  • 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 Unsuccessf​ul Network Installati​on

    I just purchased a new HP Officejet Pro 8610.  I was able to install its software on two of our three computers, but the third gives the error messages "Unsuccessful Network Installation" and "The printer was unable to be installed over the network."  I've tried the HP diagnostic tool without success.
    For whatever it's worth, the two computers that were succesful are using Windows 8.  The unsuccessful computer is using Windows 8.1.  It is an HP Envy 20.

    Hello Engidad, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
     I see you are experiencing installation issues. I would like to help.
    I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once it is uninstalled, I would suggest putting your system into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration.  You can do so by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
    Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would suggest reinstalling the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.

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

    -HP Officejet Pro 8610
    -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

  • Can I use Replacemen​t Printer ink cartridges for HP officejet Pro 8610

    I recently purchased an HP OfficeJet Pro 8610. I previously had an 8600. They both use the same ink cartridges. I had just installed some remanufactured 950 XL and 951 XL cartridges in the old printer and tried to use them in the new printer. Of course I got an error message that cartridges weren't HP but the printer would still work. I would like to know if I can use other remanufactured ink cartridges with the new printer or if there is some way for the printer to allow me to use other ink cartridges as the HP cartridges are way over priced for the consumers. I hope there is a person out there that is conservative like me and tries to find the best bargains on everything. Your solutions would be appreciated. I waited on HP Support Assistant for 10 minutes with a dialogue I would be connected to a technician in less than a minute. They must have been on break or some other excuse, so I thought I would try this instead. Blessings. John Richardson

    Hey @rockhoundjohn 
    Here's the thing, yes, you can refill your cartridges or use remanufactured cartridges, but you may run into problems.
    QualityLogic, one of the world's foremost quality assurance organizations, tested the performance of HP inkjet print cartridges vs. remanufactured (refilled) brands. The results: original HP inkjet print cartridges far surpassed ink refills in both print quality and reliability.
    Nearly one out of every six refilled ink cartridges tested was dead on arrival or failed prematurely
    70% of refilled cartridges had some form of reliability problem
    Count on HP original ink cartridges for consistent, worry-free printing. You may think you're saving money on remanufactured or refilled ink cartridges, but in the long run, the cost of wasted time, ink, and paper can more than make up the difference.  - Source
    Most people think, 'well of course that is what HP or an HP representative would say', but I have done some research and found that many others have too. Here is a perfect example of somebody who does not work for HP in any way and basically is a customer advocate (in my opinion) ; Should you refill your printer’s ink cartridges? HP says no (of course) By Matthew Murray
    I found the above article interesting and genuine.
    My personal recommendation is to buy the HP XL cartridges as they are more cost efficient, and be mindful in the printer you choose when buying an inkjet. The 8610 was a good choice. The expected page yield of the HP 950XL High Yield Black Original Ink Cartridge is 2300 pages. The regular size cartridge page yield is 1000, still good but the XL is by far a better value. Some of the Photosmart printers or Deskjets are great for what they are intended for, but do not have as good of a cost per page.
    HP's recommendation; Keep in mind that page yield is just one component of cost, and that factors such as quality, reliability, productivity, and efficiency affect cost as well. Products that work reliably will ultimately save you time and money. When you choose an inkjet printer, make sure you consider your individual printing needs.
    - Source
    To summarize, again, yes you can refill the cartridges. The printer is not programmed to reject them. Sometimes the cartridges will not work and of course because they are non HP, HP would not be able to do anything to help. HP cartridges have a 2 year manufacture warranty; Limited Warranty for HP Ink Cartridges and Customer-Replaceable Printheads for HP Inkjet Supplies, this may give you comfort knowing HP stand behind their product.

    I purchased and installed a new Officejet Pro 8610 about a month ago.  My desktop computer is an HP Windows 7 unit.  The printer is setup wireless. Up until a few days ago, everything has run fine, but now I cannot print anything from my desktop computer.  Printing from my MacBook laptop works fine.  Printing from my iphone is fine.  Scanning to the desktop computer is fine.  Webprinting is fine.  The printer icon has a nice green checkmark in the devices folder. I have run the HP Print and Scan Doctor, which claims to fix a port issue, but does not resolve the problem. I have use windows to troubleshoot the connection, which claims to make the printer available to my homegroup, but it does not resolve the problem. I tried changing the security settings for the spooler.  Did not resolve the problem. I cannot manually stop and star the spooler via dos prompt.  Says system 5 error, access denied. This is maddening.  I got rid of my old printer (which reliably printed from the desktop) so that I could have wireless printing capability, and now I have wireless capability but cannot print from my desktop.  Aaaaggghhhhhh!!!!

    Hey , Thanks for getting back to me regarding this issue. At this time I am going to have you load an alternate Officejet driver on your product. Because the network connection is fine, and scanning is still fine I do not believe that the issue that you're experiencing is connectivity or software related. This alternate driver I am going to have you load will operate the exact same way as the Officejet Pro 8610 e-All-in-One Printer driver. Therefore, you will not lose any functionality by performing this fix. Please try the steps below.  Step 1: Clear Temp Files: Click on your Start menu
    In the 'search programs and files' box located right above Start after you click on it, type %temp% and hit enter on your keyboard
    When the Temp folder opens, select Ctrl + A at the same time on your keyboard. Everything in this folder will now highlight.
    Select the 'delete' button on your keyboard. The Temp folder contains temporary internet files. No actual files or folders on your computer will be affected by deleting the Temp files. Should a Temp file still be used than you will automatically get the pop up to 'skip' that item.
    Close the Temp folder once it is emptied
    Right click the Recycling Bin on your desktop and select Empty Recycling BinPlease proceed to the next step.
       Step 2: Load Alternate Driver: Please click here to download the Officejet driver Once the download is complete you may get a prompt to Run the download. If you see the Run prompt, please allow it to Run.An extraction should now occur. Once the extraction is complete an installation window may pop open. Please close any install windows. You do not want to run an installation. Next, click on your Start menu. In the 'search programs and files' box type %temp% and hit enter on your keyboardWhen the Temp folder opens locate the 7z folder. Click on this folder to open it. It should include files that say OJ860At the top of this folder you will see a file path bar. It may show something like 'Computer- Local Disk C - Users - AppData - Local - Temp - 7z . . . ' Left click on the right hand side of this file path bar at the top. The file path should now highlight.Right click on the highlighted file path and select CopyClose the Temp folderClick on your Start menuSelect Devices and PrintersRight click on you HP Officejet 8610 Left click on Printer PropertiesLeft click on the Advanced tabLeft click on New DriverWhen the New Driver window opens please hit 'Next' until you see a list of Manufacturers and Printers Click on the 'Have Disk' button on the bottom rightWhen the 'Install from Disk' window opens, simply right click on the file path bar and 'Paste' in the file path we previously copied.Click OKWhen prompted choose the HP Officejet 8600 Printer and click 'Next' until the Add Driver window closesUnder Printer Properties select Apply, but don't hit OKSelect the General tabRename your printer back to HP Officejet Pro 8610 Hit OK Now that the alternate Officejet driver has been loaded, please test printing to confirm if the printing issue has been resolved.  Please let me know if the steps I've provided resolve your printing issue. Good luck!
