Office Jet 8600 Pro gives repeated message of depleted ink after replacement with new ones

My OfficeJet 8600 Pro (n911a?) gives a repeated message of depleted ink levels (Cyan and Yellow) even after I have replaced them with genuine HP 951 ink cartridges. I am certain that I have installed them correctly (I have done this in the past with no problems) and I have turned the machine off and on again several times. I have checked firmware and software updates and it appears that everything is up to date. Any other thoughts?
Thanks.

AirPrint non–functional on office jet 8600 pro

I purchased my office jet pro 8600 a couple years ago. One reason was due to it having AirPrint capabilities. This functionality worked great for me until a couple months back. Now I read other posts about the 8600 AirPrint not working, and the response from support is to go look at apples list of AirPrint supported printers and the 8600 is not listed. I'm confused since HP advertised on the printer retail box as AirPrint compatible but now am told to check Apples site for compatible printers. I need AirPrint functionality so please tell me what is the correct place to find a printer that will work for me now and in the future. Is Apple the one that holds the master list, or is there really any list that will allow me to protect my investment by knowing AirPrint is support and will be a continued supported functionality of my new printer.

Hello @nekiwi,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are having a problem printing from your iOS device to your Officejet Pro 8600.
I would like to help.
Sometimes problems occur when the devices is upgraded to a newer iOS version.
Perhaps the problem occured after an upgrade?
More then likely you are just haveing a network issue.
Printing Over a Wireless Network with Apple's AirPrint FAQs
Try cycling the network.
Turn the printer and the iOS device off.
Unplug the power cord to your router for at least a minute.
plug the power cord back into the router, and turn on the devices.
Try a test print.
If it still does not work, try connecting to the printer through its wireless direct feature.
This will bypass your network altogether.
If it still will not print, there may be an issue with the printer.
If it prints, then something has happened to the network.
A work around you may find useful it the HP ePrint app.

The color laser jet 3600n stops after 10% of the print with PCL XL error, Subsystem kernel, Error: Missing data, Operator: Vendor Unique, Position 14.
With the OfficeJet 8600 Pro it is quite similar. The printer starts loadin the page. After some minutes the printer push out the empty page. In both cases the Mac lost connection to the printer for some time. After few minutes the connection is established.
System is OSX Yosemite 10.10

HP Office Jet 8600 Pro network connection

Today is 12/10/2014. This morning a windows 8.1 automatic update was installed. After installation, the HP Office Jet would not print.
The reported error was that two way communication could not be established.
I have reinstalled the printer and rebooted several times with no luck.
My laptop prints to the printer just fine.

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @johnodrake
I understand you now cannot print after Windows 8.1 performed an automatic update!
Could you please try running the Print and Scan Doctor.
This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there was a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results. Please send me a reply with the results.
Also, when you uninstalled the printer, did you uninstall the printer by using the Control Panel, and did you restart the computer before re-installing?
Happy Thursday!

Office jet 8600 won't scan more than one page

My Office jet 8600 will only scan one page at a time. It doesn't matter if I use the document feeder or put the document on the glass. When the scanner asks if I have another page I select yes and then I receive a message telling me the scanner is already in use and can't scan another page. I have talked to HP tech support twice and downloaded new drivers. The scanner worked perfectly until the last few days when it started having this problem. HP tech support was not able to help.

Hi @LonghornJack
I am really not certain what would cause the message stating that the printer is in use when you try to scan a second page, but running the Print and Scan Doctor might help. The HP Print and Scan Doctor is a free utility (tool) that helps to quickly resolve common printing, scanning and connectivity issues including but not limited to:
Connectivity:
USB: Verifies that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product is working correctly.
Network: Verifies that the network connection between your computer and your network is working correctly.
Device Status Test: Checks for device errors such as out of paper, paper jams, carriage stalls, and paper feed issues, and then provides instructions for fixing the error.
Driver Check: Checks for missing or corrupt driver files.
Device Manager: Checks for problems in Device Manager that would prevent printing.
Device Online: Checks if the product has been paused or set to offline, and then sets the status back to online if necessary.
Print Queue: Checks for and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a log of print jobs waiting to print).
Port Match: Checks the port settings for the HP product.
Device Conflicts: Checks for conflicts with other drivers, such as other printer brands.
Ink Issues: Checks the cartridges and ink levels for issues that affect print quality.
Print Settings: Checks and adjusts the print quality settings.
Test Print: Prints a test page for print quality evaluation, and provides options for cleaning and aligning the printhead if necessary.
Scan Tests: Checks the scan mechanism, drivers, and registry entries.
Source:Try the HP Print and Scan Doctor for Windows

If this does not resolve the issue, post back and let me know if there are any symbols other than green check marks and what they are next to of course. The wrench is not always easy to spot as the wrench and the check mart are in the green circle.
If you see only green check marks (), the tool did not find any problems.
If you see green wrenches (), the utility identified an issue and corrected it automatically.
If you see yellow exclamation points (), the test failed and required user action, but the step was skipped.
If you see a red X (), follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the issue.
I look forward to hearing back from you.

Two Sided Printing with HP Office Jet 8600

I have installed an HP Office Jet 8600 N911A The two sided printing feature is not functioning. HP's website offered instructions on the OX 10.6 system, but not 10.7.3

Hello,
You should be able to print on two sides using this method for your product:
NOTE:You can print your document on both sides of the paper, instead of just one side. Click on the Advanced button on the Paper/Quality or Layout tab. From the Pages to Print drop-down menu select Print Odd Pages Only . Click OK to print. After the odd numbered pages of the document have been printed, remove the document from the output tray. Reload the paper in the input tray with the blank side facing up. Return to the Pages to Print drop-down menu and then select Print Even Pages Only . Click OK to print.

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
          Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
           ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Error code 242 on Office jet 8600

Office Jet 8600 quite accepting fax's. Error code 242, but fax test show all connections are good.

Hi @Skylek
According to the following document, error 242 means the remote fax machine is attempting to receive instead of send. Both machines have attempted to start a reception at the same time. On many fax machines, it is possible to accidentally initiate a fax reception in the following cases:
There is no paper in the machine.
The paper is not correctly loaded and the document sensor cannot sense it.
Interpreting Error Codes in Fax Communication Error or Fax History Reports
Recommended Solution:
Contact the sender to make sure that a document is ready and correctly loaded in the sending fax machine. Also make sure that the remote machine is attempting to initiate a transmission and not a reception.
I hope this helps.

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.

Any application I install on my MacBook Pro gives the message "The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance" What can I do?

HP Office Jet 8600 Not Reading Black Cartridge

After having read previous posts and having tried the solutions, none of them work. I have replaced all cartiridges with new HP cartridges. I got a few printouts after replacing the new black cartridge that had been refilled by Costco with a new HP cartridge. But the colors were still off in the blues so I replaced all the cartridges. Now it won't print and I am getting the message, "One or more cartridges are missing or damaged."
I have spent my entire day running back and forth to plug, unplug the printer, take out the cartridges, replace the cartrides.
Please help someone...
