OFFICE JET PRO 8600 PRINTER WILL NOT PRINT - MESSAGE COMES UP SAYS "MISSING OR FAILED PRINTHEAD"

I have turned it  off / on and removed the printhead and put it back in as instructed but it still will not work and gives me the same message. Does HP have a support line phone #?

  • HP 8500 Office Jet Pro- One color will not print

    HP 8500 Office Jet Pro- Windows XP
    All of a sudden I can no longer print yellow.  I changed the cartridge and cleaned the heads several times.  Diagnostics says the heads are clean.

    Hi Nort504,
    I understand you are having an issue with one of the colors printing on your Officejet 8500.
    If you have already followed the troubleshooting document provided above by pcwizard, I suggest contacting HP's Technical Support to see if they have any other options for you, as the end of the guide is suggesting replacing the printhead or unit itself.
    Here is the link you will need to find the correct phone number for your region: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html

  • Office Jet Pro 8500 Offline Will Not Print

    Please help! I cannot get my Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless to print. I have had this printer since early September and have not gotten it to work wirelessly on my laptop with the exception of using the USB configuration.
    I have a Dell laptop that I had issues in the begining to recognize the printer, but it does now. But when I go to print I get an error message that the printer is "offline" and I'll get another error message  "document failed to print". I have made sure that the printer is on line by going through the control panel, printers etc sequence. I have shut off the printer and unplugged the router, too which is a Linksys WRT350N Wireless N. But to no avail. I  have a Dell desktop which is wired through the router works fine as does two other wireless laptops which are HP and a Sony Vaio which print wireless. The latter two running Vista, while the Dell laptop in questions runs XP Professional and the Dell desktop runs XP. I have the same issue with a HP C4500 wireless which works fine with all the computers in my home except the Dell laptop. Any help is appreciated.
    Sincerely,

    Moe,
    This is a fix - you need to update the printer software with the new Full Feature Software for Windows 8.1:
    HP Officejet Pro 8500 Premier All-in-One Printer - A909n Drivers
    Be sure to take a look at the other documentation available for your printer.

  • My Office Print Pro 8600 Plus will not print pdf files sent to it from an iPad using ePrint.

    My Office Print Pro 8600 Plus will not print pdf files sent to it from an iPad using ePrint.  I just get an error message when I go to the  HP Eprint centre.  It does print the cover e-mail but nothing else.  The attachment is not secure as far as I can see.  I have tried sending an attachment from my Mac and that worked fine.
    This question was solved.

    Hello krnkln3.
    Are you trying to send the PDF as an attachment in an e-mail sent to the ePrint e-mail address of the printer or are you trying to print using the ePrint app?
    Try sending the same PDF document to the printer's ePrint e-mail address and let us know if that works. If this works but using the ePrint app is not working, maybe the ePrint app is not working fine with this PDF document (it could be due to it's size or something else). Remember that you can always use the e-mail ePrint address of the printer to send PDF documents as the processing is happening at the HP servers and not in your iPad as when you try to send it using the ePrint app.
    Cheers!

  • My Laser Jet Pro CM1415fnw color - will not print ... WILL let me fax...

    My Laser Jet Pro CM1415fnw color  - will not print ... will let me fax... then it goes to a screen like it is thinking ....the screen shows HP.... enerystar.... and a white bar on the bottom ...then it "initializing"  and acts like it wants to print something. Help

    Does the printer ever come to "ready" or Home screen? If it does not then i would recommend calling support and they may be able to help you with restoring the device to factory settings. If this is constantly occuring every time you boot you may want to try upgrading the fw to the latest version. Also if it is just showing "Calibrating" very frequently in the Embedded WebServer (EWS), navigate to IP if you have it, in the "System" , "Print quality", you can can change the calibration timers and see if that helps.

  • HP Office Jet Pro 8600 Plus 910 n printer driver does not install on a windows server 2008R2 OS

    I recently had a new server installed, a Proliant with a Windows Server 2008R2 operating system. I now just discovered that my All in One Office Jet Pro 8600 Plus A 910 will not install on the Windows Server 2008 R2, ïncompatible operating system. Does anybody have a workaround or solution?

    Hello dawnp,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with installing the printer on to your Windows 7 computer.
    I suggest that we start off by running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.  If the Doctor fails, please let me know where it failed as well as any error codes you may see.
    Write me back when you have time and I will be happy to help.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus will not print from my MacAir

    I have used my MacAir to print on my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus for about 5 months without any problems.  All of a sudden my printer will not print.  The wireless icon says it's connected to the network.  But when I click print it says "looking for air printer" and then "printer not connected".  I've repeated the Wizard Set Up for the wireless connection.  I've turned the printer and computer on and off.  I've even tried printing from my iPhone but it will not find the printer anymore.  Please help!

    Hello @ladybonds ,
    Thank you for taking the time to post on the HP Forums today! Hope you enjoy the experience.
    You are saying that you have been printing fine from your computer for 5 months and now your printer says it is connected to the network and your computer says that it isn't.
    Have you recently upgraded to Yosemite the new Apple OS? If not what OS X are you using?
    Are you sure that the printer and your devices are on the same network?
    Does the router give your printer an I.P address?
    Let me know these answers and we can go from there.

  • Laser Jet Pro CM1415fnw color will not print from eprint

    Laser Jet Pro CM1415fnw color printer will print from laptop but not from email. Signal on printer has strong internet connection and so does computer.  I tried to send a pic with my phone but it did not print.

     I will need a little more info in order to help out. If you send the printer an ePrint of a text document, will it print that plan document? Also, if the picture that you are sending is less than 100 DPI (dot per inch) the printer will not print that because of the quality. You can send the picture to the computer, open it and the right click on it and look under “properties” and it will give you the DPI information.  It is labeled vertical and horizontal resolution. Lastly, what type of phone do you have? What email client are you using to send the picture to the printer?

  • New hp Office Jet Pro 8500 A910 will not take printing from computer to printer

    My new HP Office Jet Pro 8500 A910

    Hi Acepvteye,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that you cannot print with your HP Officejet pro 8500 A910, and I am happy to help you with this
    issue!
    For further assistance, I will need to know:
    If the printer is connected, Wireless, or USB.
    If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
    If the printer is able to make copies by itself.
    If the power cable plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
    Hope to hear from you, and thank you for posting!

  • My Office Jet Pro 8500A Premium will only print or copy when rebooted.

    My Office Jet Pro 8500 A Premium prints or copy when it is rebooted. The second attempt to print or copy I get the message "Now printing" but it never does. I ran all the diagnostics that tell me everything is fine but obviously it is not... Help!

    Hello,
    I see that we are having some issue when attempting to print in colour.
    I have done some research in to this issue and I have found a document that deals with when the Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages.
    Please feel free to write me back if you have any other questions or concerns.

  • Office jet 4620 on network, will not print

    I have an Office Jet 4620 on my wireless network at home.
    It has worked well until I installed a new router. The network sees the printer, I have entered my network password into the printer software.
    When I try to print the printer makes a little noise then locks up. The only way to get the printer to turn off is to pull the power cord.
    Any ideas?

    Hello kalister1,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand your Officejet 4620 will not print. I will do my best to assist you! I am going to suggestion two options for you to try:
    Please follow this entire HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. Also, I would recommend following this HP document on Sleep Mode Issues. Your printer could be going into a sleep mode, this is why you're experiencing this kind of issue.
    Looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus will not print the attached file in the e-mail

    Dear support team,
    I have installed the software and setup HP eprint according the manual respectively the advices in HP-Connected however if I send an e-mail to [edited by Moderator] the printer 8600 PRO PLUS will not print the attached file in this case a PDF. But the text inside the e-mail will printed.
    Any recommends?
    Thank you in Advance.
    Best regards

    Hi Conny,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I understand that the attachment to an email sent to your Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer’s ePrint email address did not print.
    After the PDF didn’t print, did you log into your HP Connected account?  I’m curious as to what HP Connected indicated about the print job. I have included the ePrint Job Did Not Print document.  It has several causes and solutions as to why the PDF didn’t print.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus will not print but is connected and says that the print job is 100% Complete

    Hi All,
    I'm printing from a MacBook Pro using OSX Lion. It says that Officejet Pro 8600 Plus is connected and that the print jop is 
    100% complete except that nothing comes out of the printer. I've done all of the test prints and they've printed just fine.
    I tired all of the troubleshooting steps listed on the support guide and still nothing. HELP!

    Not a reply but another plea for help.
    There seem to be so many people with wireless problems that a) it seems silly to start a new thread and b) which one to enter my own plea.
    -Printer bought about 2~3 weeks into Sept 2012
    -Installed onto Macbook Pro running Lion (full updated at that time)
    -Both wireless scanning from printer to computer and initiated from computer worked fine.
    -Printer, with full choice of duplex, layout etc, worked fine. (Even left 5star feedback somewhere!)
    -Set up eprint. That OK, too. Fine from iPad2 and SE Arc S printing photos.
    -Somewhere along the line it stopped communicating with my MBP
    -Out of interest, since there seemed to be no problems with an Acer laptop running Vista, I booted the MBP from an external drive on which I'd done a backup of my 10.6 system iMac (>300Km away: can't try that). Installed HP software from disc. Seemed fully functional. Odd. Very odd.
    -Restarting with Lion on MBP, tried again. Looks as if it might work, but loses connectivity. Tried manual address on printer.
    -Booting from 10.6 system again, reinstalled Lion on MBP (wondering if conflict between HP and Apple updates)
    -Reinstalled HP software from disc.
    Still didn't work.
    -Brought Lion up to date. Downloaded most recent dmg file from HP. Looked for updates. Have applied firmware update to printer
    8600 doesn't list my MBP as available computer to scan to
    [But all the test pages done whilst in HP Utility, and others, get sent through]
    Am getting rather fed-up with all this; never, ever before have I had so much printer problem.
    There seem to be a number of Lion users out there with the same problem. So far -but very infrequently tried- other machines/systems seem OK, therefore I am coming to the conclusion that it is an Apple<> HP conflict. If not sorted soon the printer will be returned as it is not fit for purpose. I'll revert to using my seldom problematic, non duplex A3 Brother.
    Hrumph
    Please help, someone! Either with a pointer to something I've not yet tried or by analysis and rapid availablity of updated software.
    Thanks,
    Mike W
