My HP Officejet Pro 8620 has stopped printing from Mac OSX.

I bought my HP Officejet Pro 8620 less than 6 months ago. It started making a grinding noise as it printed. Then it said it was low on cyan. Then it stopped printing because cyan was depleted. I bought new cyan today. I put that in and it now says "There is a problem with the printer or ink system. If problem persists, contact HP." I have tried many suggestions for over 2 hours. I opened the carriage and looked for paper. None. When I tried to download software, it said "something bad with your device. Device is in error state and cannot be reflashed because of this. Resolve the problem and try again."
I have tried to use e-print but ended up keeping usb connection.
I can't touch the printer panel because it is stuck on "Printer Failure" and no areas are in view to start over other than turning the printer off and on by switch, by unplugging cord. How do I resolve the problem? Thank you.
This question was solved.

Yes, after an hour online following time on the HP online site, the technician's Hardware Supervisor said I needed a new printer. Thanks for your answer.

I have a HP officejet pro 8500a printer that has stopped printing. It will not print anything off of my HP pavilion notebook and I just found out that it will not copy anything either. Does anyone know what the problem may be?

HI @anewleaf , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you're running into copy and print issues. I'd love to help!
I have a few questions before we get the ball rolling:
Are you using Windows or Macintosh?
If you are using Windows, is it a 32-bit or a 64-bit system?
Do you recieve any errors?
Is the printer not printing any pages, or printing blank pages?
I'm including documents that will help you find the system info:
Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
Which Windows operating system am I running?
Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
Please let me know what you find. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

Officejet Pro 8620 won't print from microsoft or thunderbird

I have installed the printer drivers for my new OfficeJet Pro 8620 and am not able to print from Microsoft Word or Thunderbird. I can print from Google Chrome.
I am running Windows 7 and have already reinstalled the printer software several times.

Hello @dmcairns,
I understand that you're having printing issues with MS Word and Thunderbird on your Windows 7 computer when printing to your HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue. Now you mentioned that you have already uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times to no avail. I do believe that because you can print from certain programs on your computer that you are experiencing a driver conflict with those two programs. To resolve this issue, can I please have you run through the steps below.
I am going to have you load an alternate driver on your printer. This will not cause you to lose any functionality at all. You will not notice any difference in the performance of your printer or the capabilities. The only thing that should change, is the fact that your printer will be able to print from every program!
Step 1: Clear Temp files:
Click on your Start menu
In the 'search programs and files' box located right above Start when you click on it, type %temp% and hit enter
When the Temp folder opens, select Ctrl + A at the same time. Everything in this folder will now highlight.
Select 'delete' on your keyboard. No actual files or folders on your computer will be affected by deleting the Temp files as they are just temporary internet files. Should a file still be used by a program on your computer than you will automatically get the pop up to 'skip' the file.
Once the Temp folder is emptied, close the folder
Right click on your Recycling Bin on your desktop and select Empty Recycling Bin
Step 2: Download Alternate Driver:
Please click here to download the alternate Officejet driver package
Once the website opens, select the Download button
Allow the download to Run
Once the download is complete, an extraction will automatically occur and then the installation will pop open. Close any installation window that opens.
Step 3: Add Alternate Driver:
Click on your Start menu
In the 'search programs and files' box type %temp% and hit enter
When the Temp folder opens you will see a folder that starts with 7z.... Click on that folder to open it
Scroll through this folder and ensure that it has files that start with OJ860 files in it. You do not want to see OJ862 files. Once you verify that you're in the right folder with the OJ860 files in it, look at the top of this folder and you will see the file path. It should show something like 'local disk C - Users - Username - AppData - Local - Temp - 7z. . . . Left click on the right hand side of this file path bar and everything will highlight. Right click on the highlighted file path and Copy it.
Close the Temp folder
Click on your Start menu
Select Devices and Printers
Right click on your HP Officejet 8620 and left click on Printer Properties
Select the Advanced tab
Select 'New Driver' and hit 'next' until you see a list of Manufacturers on the left and a list of Printers on the right.
Select Have Disk on the bottom right. An 'Install from disk' window will pop open. Right click on the file path bar and Paste in the file path we previously copied.
Select OK
Select the HP Officejet 8600 and hit next
When you're brought back to the Printer Properties window, select Apply but don't hit OK
Click the General tab and rename your printer back to Officejet 8620
Select OK
Please try to print from a few different programs to verify that everything is printing properly now.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Thanks for reaching out to the HP Support Forums. I wish you luck!

HP Officejet Pro 8620 - set up problem with MAC OSX version 10.7.5

I have just bought a new Officejet Pro 8620 and all set up fine to a point. Problem is that when I try the HP Utility set-up and click on "Add Printer" and identify it as "Bonjour Malfunction" and select the printer from the pull down menu list, I receive the message:
"The software for this printer is currently unavailable, please contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software".
I have already downloaded the latest software from theHP website - but stil no resolution.
Any help please would be gratefully received.

Hello @Kennynic!
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
I would be happy to provide some help regarding your Officejet 8620 and installing the software on the Mac. The first thing I suggest is to ensure all the HP Software is removed from the Mac. I suggest uninstalling the HP Software. After the software is uninstalled I recommend performing a "repair disk permissions" on your Mac. A repair disk permissions is a utility built in the Mac operating system designed to locate and resolve issues or errors that may cause complications when re-installing. After the repair disk permission is complete restart your Mac and try adding the printer again.
To uninstall the HP Software click here: Uninstalling HP Software
To perform a repair disk permission click here: Performing a Repair Disk Permission
There is only software available for Mac 10.10. Unfortunately there is no full feature software and driver available for Mac 10.7. You should still be able to add the printer using the AirPrint drivers. Go into System Preferences from the Apple icon and click on printer and scanner. In the printer and scanner window click the add printer icon and you should be able to add the 8600 printer via Wi-Fi and AirPrint.
I recommend checking for software updates on the Mac. To check for software updates click the "apple" icon at the to left and click on "software update". Install any HP or printer updates. After any updates you should restart the computer. and try printing.
Please post back and let me know how everything goes!

Officejet Pro 8600 will NOT print on MAC OSX 10.7.5

I'm using Mac OSX 10.7.5
New Officejet Pro 8600 is set-up and wireless is connected with Bonjour. When printing the printer utility opens and shows me that the printer is connecting. For example: "Printing Microsoft Word - Document 1". Printing page is shown as "100% complete". However, nothing prints.
I am able to print the 'Print Self Test Page' but nothing else (ie. word documents). I have the printer setup on an HP Laptop and it is working just fine over the network.
I have tried every solution under the following link and nothing worked:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02205477

HI, I also had this same issue and finally worked out a solution.
Just to summarise: I had two Macbooks 10.7.4, iPhone, iPad, airport express and netgear evg2000 router. They all worked wirelessly one minute then stopped. I could wirelessly connect to the printer, print test pages, view the queue, view supplies but any print would appear in the queue as 100% complete or 1% or 12% but never actually print out.
I logged in to the embedded web server (ews) on the printer, went to network, advanced settings-bonjour and changed the Bonjour Highest Priority Service to '9100 printing' instead of 'LDP'. I then deleted the printer from the print function in system prefs, re added it and it worked. I had to turn the iPhone and iPad off and on and they worked.

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus wont print from Mac 10.5.8

Hello,
I just purchased the Officejet Pro 8600 Plus and I'm running it wired through my router. I'm able to print with my PC, my IPad and my phone but I cant print with my mac running OS 10.5.8.
When I try to print it puts the document in the print que and says "printing" but nothing happens at the printer. I can scan to my mac from the printer and everything seems to indicate that the printer is connected.
I have downloaded the latest HP driver for Mac 10.5. Also i have reset the printer (holding down the option key while deleting the printer from the system preferences) several times and re-added the printer. Still nothing.
Any ideas?
Greg

Reset the printing system:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Option click the '+' sign and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and then next to the "Use" pulldown, select the printer model (not AirPrint). Wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air

Hi,
My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air. It keeps on showing "The printer is not connected", but the screen on the printer shows connected. I often reset the printer 'EVERY TIME" I want to use it. I also tried to turn off my laptop and printer several times before printing. If I'm lucky enough, it will work maybe for one or two prints. If no luck then I'll have to reset everything again. Sometimes I reset the printer, the printer will not show on my selection.
This question was solved.

Hello boojoo1tw,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're unable to print most times with your Officejet 8600. How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB? What is your operating system on your Mac computer? Click here to find out.
If your printer is wireless, then I would recommend assigning a "Static IP Address" by following this HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.

How do i get the hp officejet pro 8600 premium to print from my ipad2 using airprint?

how do i get the hp officejet pro 8600 premium to print from my ipad2 using airprint? The iPad does not see the printer.

Hi RiverBirch,
What brand and model is your router?
First, connect your printer to your router.
1. From printer front panel, press Wireless>Wireless Settings>Wireless Setup Wizard and follow the onscreen instructions to successfully connect your printer with an IP address.
Secondly, connect your iPad to the same router.
1. Connect your iPad to the Internet and download the free HP ePrint Home & Biz app from the apps store.
2. Connect your iPad to the same network as the printer. Settings>Network.
3. Use the new HP Home & Biz app to print and scan photos or docs from your iPad!
Alternatively, you can also perform Airprint on the iPad thru the wireless network from the Photos menu in your iPad.

Officejet Pro 8620 won't print the "full pasted image"contained in a Word 2007 document

Just upgraded and installed for Officejet Pro 8620. Running with Windows 7, 64bitWhen printing a page that includes a image that was copy/ paste, using the snipping tool into the word document, it does not print the "full image". In print Preview the full image appears, but when it prints about 15% of the bottom edge and the right edge of the image is omitted. This was not a problem when printing from the Office jet 8600. It is not a problem of page width or length because text is printing just fine.We removed all prior printing software, and re-installed the new printing software, disabled the printer firewall, and problem still occurs.Please advise what other information is needed. Thanks.

Hp officejet pro 8600 plus stops printing in the middle of printing

OfficeJet Pro 8620 Can't print black only on other media types

Why won't the OfficeJet Pro 8625 driver allow me to print using black only on non-plain media types?
I purchased an OfficeJet Pro 8625 for general home printing and to print shipping labels for my business. I purchased a second tray so I can keep both plain paper and shipping labels in the printer all the time.
To select the labels, I had to pick a media type for the labels tray. I can't choose labels, so I chose Cardstock. But when I select Cardstock as the type in the driver when printing, it will not allow me to select black ink only. I want to print black only because the shipping labels come out a little bit fuzzy, with color fringes when printed in color.
I'm not worried about ink usage. I'm an Instant Ink subscriber. I need the labels to be crisp, and printed full color they aren't crisp.
What's the deal here? Why can't I select black only?

Hello @clough42 and welcome to the HP Forums!
I'm sorry to hear that you've had issues printing in black ink only on anything other than plain paper, but I will certainly see what I can do to help out
I'd recommend that you download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor. If it fails on anything please return and let me know what happened and where it failed and we will go from there.
If it passes everything and it appears there are no issues found, I'd recommend that you call our technical team for further options
Hope this helps!!

HP Officejet Pro 8630 won't print from tray 2; says there's no paper

Action: Print from tray 2.
Expected Results: Paper feeds from tray 2 and prints.
Actual Results: Printer displays "out of paper" dialog.
Notes: Ever since I purchased the Officejet Pro 8630 six or eight months ago, tray 2 has not functioned. It says there's no paper in that tray. I've tried multiple types of letter sized paper. I've inspected the bottom of the main printer unit and the top of tray 2 for signs of damage; there doesn't seem to be any.
Tray 1 works just fine. It's actually a fantastic printer. The best I've owned. If only Tray 2 would work.

Officejet Pro 8600 2-sided printing from iPad or iPhone

Hi - I just purchased an officejet pro 8600 so that I can print from my iPad or iPhone. It has the 2 sided printing but I want to know if there is a way to turn of the 2 sided printing from these devices. Right now when I print it automatically defaults to the 2-sided printing but I would prefer 1 side printing only. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you!

How do I get my HP Officejet Pro 8500 won't print from a program called "The Print Shop 12"?

I can not get my printer to print from this one program I have called "The Print Shop 12." I don't get an error message, it acts like it want to print but then nothing.

I do not know about the Print Shop program but I know that sometimes quickbooks has this issue. We have two different work around for this, 1st one Click your start button go to your printer & devices folder and right click the 8500 printer and either RENAME it or go to Properties to Rename is to OJ8500 and then Apply and safe that change and try it.
2nd step if that does not work, click start, go back to the printers and faxes and "add a printer" when you get to the list of manufactures click HP or Hewlett-Packard and look for the deskjet ICC printer and add it, naming it PrintShop and then you should be able to printer threw that program.
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.
