I moved with my printer - but ink number is different here!

We have a C6188 All-in-one, working so far fine. We got it in China where we I was stationed from my company. The ink cartridges we got there are labeled "801". Now, back in Germany the cartridges are called "363" (HP C8772E e.g.) and the printer will not accept them. I still have some 801 cartridges, but some colors I need to install 363 type.
Is there any patch available - or should we get a new printer - of course NOT HP in that case.
Cheers, Andy

Your printer requires a regionalization reset.  This will require that you call HP support while having access to your computer and printer. You will need a complete set of the German region cartridges and after the reset the printer will no longer accept the China region cartridges.

    Hey @KennyBee51,
    Thanks again for getting back to me regarding this issue.

    It seems to be a bad print head, or it needs manually cleaned with lint free cloth and water. If these steps do not resolve the issue, contact HP Support (1800-474-6836).

  • Re: HP Officejet Pro 8600+ "There is a problem with the printer or ink system..."

    I've had mine for a year and a half. All new cartridges. Called HP - they said I probably need a new printer, of course.
    I have an Office Depot guarantee that's still good and an HP warrenty  that's good until 2017 - that's how paranoid I am about HP - but both want me to send the printer back. This will take weeks. I am so leery of HP Printers, I kept the box behind my couch since July, 2013!
    What printer should I go for next? I noticed HP is not selling the 8600 anymore. I've bought printers EVERY TWO YEARS since 1999. Epson sucks, Brother sucks. HP ink is outrageously expensive. Any ideas?

    Thanks for asking, Bob. Prepare for my screed: Saturday night, I was on the phone with an HP tech, Andre. After an HOUR, he told me he'd have to transfer me to another support team which he couldn't access because HP was updating. He said the update would take EIGHT hours. I called back to get another opinion, and that guy said only TWO hours for the update, call back at 9 a.m. EST. I called and was told SIX more hours to go, so Andre was correct. Andre said he would call me back at 6 p.m. EST. He did not call, but when I called HP and asked for a supervisor, he told me that Andre had called me at 12 p.m. Sunday afternoon. He lied. I have caller ID on my phone and on my TV. No call from Andre.
    The supervisor then transferred me to "one of his best people, she went to college." Okay, he was right, Ann was exceptional, but she made me do everything I had already done six times: unplug, take out the cartridges, take out the whole printer head, put them back in - nothing. She said that HP could send me a new printer by the next morning, which I thought was very optimistic, but things were looking up UNTIL she transferred me to Cindy who said NO NEW PRINTER just the printer part. I said I had three more years on my warrenty which cost me $47.00 and I WANTED A NEW PRINTER BECAUSE THE 8600 IS A CRAPPY MACHINE THAT HP DOES NOT EVEN SELL ANYMORE AND THERE ARE NO LESS THAN 55 COMPLAINTS ON THE HP FORUM. There was smoke coming out of my ears, I'm sure.
    Cindy stuck to her guns and I asked for HER supervisor, but that person/department doesn't work on Sunday. So, I have to call back after 8 a.m. EST Monday.  I will NOT accept any offer except an ENTIRE NEW PRINTER.  I paid $25 for a warrantee from Office Depot, which is where I bought the 8600. They went out of business - just across the street and joined another company. They are now Office Max and the closest store is an hour from home. So, I have paid over $70 in warrantee fees and I'm not accepting just a part that might last only a year or so like this one did. How do they know that the printer itself isn't ruining the printer head? They don't. I also asked for all new ink. There $100 worth of ink in this piece of crap and I don't want to lay out another $100 to replace it. 
    I've had two PCs since 1999, but this is the FOURTH HP printer that has pooped the bed. I got an Epson when I bought my Dell PC in 1999, which I replaced with an HP.  I bought a new HP PC in 2011 and I've been through THREE HPs and ONE Brother. I got an HP printer THREE times for this PC. When I did my due diligence, I saw that the HP 8600 was selling in some stores for $300, so I thought I was set with this machine. I turned in my old, dead HP to Office Depot, got credit, which I put into this machine. That was in July 2013. What a scam these people have going. This is called PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE, and the public is aware. I HAVE HAD IT!

  • Officejet pro 8600 plus Printer failure - there is a problem with the printer or ink system...

    Arghhh!  Like so many people on the forum I have today encountered this problem - it was working fine until it needed the magenta cartridge replaced.  (I have replaced the other colours successfully over the last couple of weeks).  
    Once I replaced magenta the message came up.  I have tried all the suggestions on the troubleshooting pages with removing the print head a couple of times, trying all the cartridges and cleaning the connections.  I am loathe to go down the road of any cost as the printer is just over 6 months old!
    Given the cost of it I would expect much better for my money.  I did buy extra warranty from Staples, so will be calling them tomorrow, but I can't really wait the 30 days it could take with a daughter in her final year at University and so on - really disappointed and disgruntled.
    I might have to go and buy ink for one of the other two printers I have in the house, but I really liked this and the fact that everyone could connect via wifi.  That has been problematical and I wondered if that was the problem as I can't clean the printheads from the computer software and I can't get any other 'page' on the control panel .
    Anyone got any suggestions, please.

    Is your printer still in warranty - it should be if only six months old? You can check with HP's warranty tool here.
    I would suggest you call HP, 1-800-HPINVENt if you are in North America.  They should be able to either resolve the issue on the phone or send a replacement printer, it should be a lot faster than 30 days.  When I have needed a warranty replacement it was generally a few days.

  • HP Officejet 6700: A problem with the printer or ink system.

    I'm not sure what the problem is anymore since I've bought new cartridges and applied them carefully and correctly.
    My printer uses 933 for CMY and 932 for Black. Interestingly, it gives me this error when I installed the black cartridge. I don't understand why. I bought and applied the XL. Maybe it doesn't like XL?

    I have tried that and so much more. Finally, I chose to contact HP directly and was told to do a number of troubleshooting tasks (that which I've done on my own a hundred times over). She put me on a conference call with an HP Engineer and we finally deduced that it most likely is the printer. I am receiving a conditioned printer by the end of next week and sending my defective one back to them. Thank you for your help!

  • Report with same measure but opened by 2 different level of emp hierarchy

    Hi all, I need to have a report with columns like these:
    COLS: Region -- Employee Level 3 -- Product Class -- Forecast ($) for Emp Level 2 -- Forecast ($) for Emp Level 2
    SAMPLE: NAS -- Anthony Fernicola -- Apps -- 100 (forecast for Anthony) -- 500 (forecast for Anthony's manager which is Keith Block)
    I mean, on the report criteria I drag those columns and and from the emp hierarchy dimension I drag that EMPLOYEE LEVEL 3 column since the report must show all those employees for that level, but as you can see on the same line of the report we should show as well the forecast for the manager, in this case the EMPLOYEE LEVEL 2..
    To get that measure I tried:
    1) on the formula the SUM (forecast($)) BY EMPLOYEE LEVEL2 but the data is not matching the real data..
    2) I also tried to use the FILTER function on the formula but I don't know how to filter it since it requires a filter_expression that I cannot give, I just want to show on that "Forecast ($) for Emp Level 2" column the forecast measure by that level 2..
    3) I also tried UNION but on the results the report is showing as well the LEVEL 2 for the employee and we do not want it since we want to show all LEVEL3 only...
    do you know how to do this?
    thank you!!!!

    Are you sure the brackets are in the right location?
    This:
    SELECT
    0 s_0,

    SUM("A - Sample Sales"."Base Facts"."1- Revenue" BY "A - Sample Sales"."Sales Person"."E9  Manager Name") s_4
    FROM "A - Sample Sales"
    ORDER BY 1, 3 ASC NULLS LAST, 2 ASC NULLS LAST

  • Error Message: "Printer Failure" Problem with print or ink system . . .

    Greetings!
    I wasn't exactly sure where to post this, but the error message refers to printer or ink system failure so I thought this was a good place. I've been troubleshooting my parents HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 AiO for the last 2 or 3 hours with little success. I've contacted HP tech support but they wanted $200 for the work to be done and neither I nor my parents, who are retired and on a fixed income, have the money to spare.
    The tech support people said it was probably a problem with the drivers, so I attempted to reinstall the software, but that didn't help at all. A brief description of the problem might shed some light on this awful situation. Since this morning, my father tried to print something and the printer itself gave the following error message on the front LCD panel on the device itself (ie, not on Windows, but on the printer's display):
        "Printer Failure
         There is a problem with the printer or ink system. Turn it off, then on. If the problem persists, contact HP."
    Obviously my first course of action was to follow the directions. I turned it off, unplugged the cord, waited approx. 30 seconds, replugged it in and turned it back on. Nothing changed. I've also tried removing and replacing the Ink cartridges, checking the tray for a paper jam or shortage and performing a rain dance in the hopes of attracting the gods' attention xP. In short, I'm at my wits end and don't know where to go from here.
    I'm unable to access the device's LCD display control panel, which controls the printer, as the error message cannot be closed. I've tried restarting the PC as well, and a lot of other basic deductive troubleshooting procedures to no avail (forgive my overuse of cliches).
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much in advance. I wish you all a great day, and may the god of printing protect you from the same situation. I can assure you it's most unpleasant.
    Regards, Sean (frosztbyte)
    P.S. I'm not sure what other information might be needed in order to help me, but ask and you shall receive any I can find.

    Hi frosztbyte,
    I understand your parents have an OfficeJet Pro 8600 that is saying it has a printer failure, that you have thus far not been able to clear, despite your best effort and a rain dance (at least I know who to blame for the rain now ). I would be happy to help you as best I can!
    The first thing I'd suggest you do is plug the printer directly to a wall outlet if it isn't already plugged to one, just to ensure the printer is getting all the power it needs to function properly. If that doesn't seem to change anything though, please have a look through this A 'Printer Failure' Message That Might Include an '0x610000f6' or '0x61xxxxxx' Error Code Displays o... document (it was steps for the same error without an error code as well) and hopefully it can help resolve the issue.
    If the issue persists after trying the wall outlet and that document I would advise you try call HP again. I believe the number you called previously may have not have been HP, but another company. If you're in North America just call 1-800-474-6836, and if you're anywhere else have a look at this Contact HP Worldwide page to see what number to call for your area.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!!

  • HP Director won't work with Wireless Print Server

    I have an HP 5500 Office Jet all in one.  It comes with bundled software called HP Director that enables scanning, printing, and faxing.  The software worked fine while I had the printer connected to my pc with a USB cable.
    To give myself flexibility I installed a WPSM54G Linksys Wireless G Printserver.  There is no direct connection between my printer and pc anymore.
    Printing still works fine.  This is being handled by the Linksys software.
    The HP Director no longer can find the printer.  When I try to scan (for example) using HP Director, I get a message that "an error occurred communicating with the printing device...".  It presumably is looking for a direct USB connection, and not finding one.
    I can't find a fix on the HP site, but I imagine there must be one.  Wireless print servers have been around for quite a while.  Is there a download that will solve this problem?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi JoJoh,
    I can't be of much help with the printer but I just checked my "Pages" and my version number is 4.0.2. I'm using iWork 09. Perhaps you need to update? I just checked the "Snow Leopard Compatible" site and found "Apple Pages 4.0.2" is compatible. It didn't mention 1.0.2. I'm so sorry. That's pretty rough when it's how you make your living.
    As for the printer, I have an HP Photosmart C4580 which wouldn't print. I finally just deleted all the printers on my MacBook and used my Snow Leopard install disk and selected the "Optional Install" which allowed me to just reinstall the printers. My HP is now working fine. I do feel like this is just a work-around until HP gets things sorted out. I say that because even though my HP now works, the only place it shows up is in my users folder. It's not in my Applications folder, but as long as it works for now, I don't care.
    Hope I was of some help to you. Best of luck!

  • Problem with pdf-printing in Adobe Acrobat Pro

    Hi,
    I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.3.
    PDF-printing has always worked great but suddenly there is some kind of problem.
    After printing a excel-document from "Print to pdf" built-in function in MacOS OR Adobes Printer I have corruptet pdf-files when showing them in Adobe Reader/Acrobat, but the MacOS Preview-software shows them correct.
    So, there cannot be any problem with the printing, but the local preview on my computer using Reader or Acrobat. I dont even use the Myriad font in the document, I use Verdana.

    You say you're using Verdana but you're not. The error message clearly shows you're using MyriadPro Bold.
    You probably recently installed the Mac OS X 10.6.7 update which has a bug with OpenType PostScript fonts like MyriadPro Bold. Either use Verdana or another TrueType or PostScript font, or revert to Mac OS X 10.6.6.
