Officejet Pro K5400DN Cyan Ink Cartage LED keep blinking

Hi,
My printer is Officejet Pro K5400DN.
I tried to replace the ink cartage with three brand new original Cyan 88XL ink cartages.
The LED still blinking and my printer still not working.
Who can tell my why?
I have tried to reinstall them several times.
power off and pull power plug out then its still the same.

Hi Mulanan,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with blinking lights on the printer.
I do have a few steps that we can try in the attempt to troubleshoot this issue.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
I also suggest that we go through the document on Blinking Lights on the HP Officejet Pro K5300 and K5400 Printer Series.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thanks for your time.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Cyan ink will not print. installed a new one, but no success

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Cyan ink will not print. installed a new one, but no success

I had to replace both printheads about $85 a piece. It may be more cost effective to buy a new printer. Once I replaced the one printhead, the other one went out. It is common and it did solve the issue. I really like my printer and if it gets me another year or so, I think it was worth it.

HP Officejet pro 8500 won't print and keeps asking for a proxy setting. Help.

HP Officejet pro 8500 won't print and keeps asking for a proxy setting. Help.

Hi,
Can you confirm that you have an Officejet 8500a or Officejet 8500? On the 8500a model, you can set the networks proxy address and port setting from the front panel of the printer (setup>Webservices setup>proxy). If you are unsure what your proxy settings are you'll need to contact your network admin. If your network uses a proxy users name and password for all devices, you need to enter this information along with the proxy address and port in the printers embedded web server. Type the products IP address into an internet brownser window (printer must be connected to the same network as PC). Select the network tab, and than look for the proxy settings option. Enter in the information and click apply. Once the networks proxy information has been correctly inputed into the embedded web server, try printing again. If unsuccessfully, you might try reinstalling the printer software after uninstalling it. Hope this helps!

HP Officejet Pro L7580 - Yellow Ink Cartridge keeps popping out although it's brand new.

Hello,
I have had this officejet printer for about 4 years. I have never had a serious problem until now. A few days ago I replaced the yellow ink cartridge (88XL) because the ink indicator showed it as being completely empty. After replacing the cartridge with a brand new cartridge from OfficeMax, the cartridge pops out while I'm trying to print or copy something and the displays says that the yellow cartridge's ink level is not enough and needs to be replaced.
It seems at first glance that this is a mechanical problem concerning the yellow ink slot; however, I'm not sure. Or I suppose the problem could be related to the cartridge itself. To get around this problem, I've held down the cartridge and stuck a small pencil in the opening where the small latch of the "ink cartridge compartment cover" normally goes in. That way I've been able to print, but it's really a hassle. And honestly I don't think this is the real solution to the problem.
If anyone knows how to resolve this issue, I'd like to hear from you. Please let me know as soon as possible. Worst comes to worst I will have to go out and buy another printer.

Try this for a Quick Fix ...........
After reading other forum comments from people having the same problem with the yellow cartridge popping-out, combined with others who have realised that HP have no interest in compensating anyone for this rediculous example of, at best, 'bad design', or at worst 'blatent planned obsolescence', I have created a 'quick fix' that may add another 1, 2 or more years of life to the HP Officejet Pro L7580 Printer.
This is not the elegant technical solution I was hoping for. However, in hindsight, it may prove to be a more reliable solution than replacing the faulty part that is actually causing the problem. So, here it is the Quick Fix ........
I found a wooden triangular door stop that I cut to size that fitted exactly in the space between the plastic door and the offending yellow cartridge. To hold it in place, I wrapped the doorstop with 2" cellotape, then I stuck the door stop to the inside of the plastic door with double sided cellotape (double sided stick-on foam would also work well). With the doorstop in the correct place, the plastic door closed perfectly and was snug enough to apply sufficent pressure to the offending yellow cartridge, and hence stopping it from popping out again. To make sure the plastic door does not 'fly open' with the pressure of the yellow cartridge (when it wants to pop out!), I applied another piece of 2" cellotape around the outside of the door, holding it to the body of the photocopier.
This exercise only took 10-15 mins to do. I feel this is a much better option than spending another $300+ on a new All-in-One system, as well as being a good environmental solution. If this is DELIBERATE 'planned obsolescence', companies like HP need to be more accountable for, at best, 'sloppy design'. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Problem with HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer: Ink is vanished without any prints due to cleanups.

Hello everybody,
The printer HP Officejet Pro all-in-one 8500A A910 cleans printheads every time I turn it on. printer was updated with the lastet driver but my yellow,cyan,magenta inks gets vansihed without taking any colour prints.I take only BLACK prints(less than 500) and do scans.
This is worse printer i have ever used. It is using inks while clean up at startup or in between.Frustating thing is that It is using ink even during SCANS. Now, i really doubt the intellegence of designers of hp to such a big BUG.
Please update the driver so that during startup it will ask for SCAN or Print OR Clean the printheads when first print is given and addition to optimise the cleanups.
Hoping to get some solution form HP.

Hi arr_8500,
I understand you have an Officejet 8500 A910 that is running the clean printhead function each time you turn it on. I will do my best to assist you with this.
The reason the printer keeps running the clean printhead function is self maintenance. The printer is detecting an issue, so it will continue to run the clean printhead function until it's not detecting an issue. I would suggest you follow through this Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality Problems to help clean out any ink build up and things like that. I'd also recommend that you manually clean your printheads to remove any build up there as well.
Finally, it's best to have your printer plugged directly to a wall outlet. If it's not already in one, please move it.
Hope this helps, have a great day!!

HP OfficeJet Pro L7680 - New ink cartridges saying "Empty"

I have a HP OfficeJet Pro L7680 that has two ink cartridges that suggest they are empty, although they are brand new from HP. These are replacement carts, not the original.
I am not sure how to diagnose the problem since the cartridges are leaking color when removed. Only two the four are reporting problems. The black and cyan ones are the culprits and the black one reports appropriately most of the time. The cyan one is consistantly reporting empty.
Any suggestions on ways to clean/fix the issue? Also, are there any diagnositic pages in the menu where I can see the error code that the error is reporting?

I did some searching through the service menus. There are two event codes and two error codes. Both error codes were all zeros. The event codes were 69556 and 69548. I sadly don't have a way to look those up so I think that's a dead end.
The summary of the problem is that the cyan cartridge keeps complaining to be out of ink even though it is brand new from the store.
I will attempt another cartridge soon (ouch these are expensive).
Any other thoughts?

HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus-- ink cold / freeze?

I have an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. Bought new ink cartridges last night and left them in car (28 degrees F.).
will the quality of printing be affected?
Will there be any damage to the printer?
Will the life of the ink cartridges be decreased?

Hello 749,
I understand you are interested in the proper care for the HP ink cartridges you purchased for your OfficeJet 8600 Plus. To answer your question it is recommended to Keep ink cartridges sealed in the original package until they are installed. Store at temperatures between -15 and 35 degrees Celsius (5 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit). So no, you should not have any problems with the quality or be worried that it will damage the printer.
I would like you to take a look at Storing and Handling Ink Cartridges and Storing Opened Cartridges and Printheads these great documents have some very informative information that I am sure you will find helpful.
If you have anymore questions, please let me know.
Thank you,
HevnLgh

HP Officejet Pro 8610 setup ink cartridges not recognized

I just purchased an HP Officejet Pro 8610, and was following the setup on the printer, installed the ink cartridges as shown in the "movie" guide, and the printer seems to not recognize that I have installed the 4 ink cartridges. They are the 4 cartridges that came with the printer.

@jaycka
Welcome to the forums!
I have some of my own ideas that might help the printer recognize the ink cartridges.
Try this:
Removing the ink cartridges.
Unplug the printer.
Dampen a lint free cloth or cotton swab with bottled water.
Gently cleaning off the electrical contacts from the cartridges.
Wait for the contacts to dry.
Plug the printer back in and wait for the printer setup on the display to ask you to insert the cartidges and hopefully they'll be recognized.
If not, call HP directly to inquire about a replacement.

Officejet Pro 8000 says ink is empty even with a new cartridge

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8000 printer in my office at work, and yesterday it said my magenta ink was empty, so we ordered a new ink cartridge. Upon replacing the ink cartridge with a brand NEW one, it still says it is empty and the light is still flashing. Of course, this printer doesn't print at all, even in black ink only, without all cartridges working. I am so frustrated.

I have the same problem, does anyone have a solution? The Magenta light is always flashing. I've tried cleaning the tip with nail polish remover, inserted the cartridge in and out about 100 times and the light is still flashing and says the cartridge is empty and replace with new HP cartridge. The cartridges have always been HP, $170.00 for 4 of them.

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus ink system failure

I suddenly started having error messages staing there is an ink system failure. Sometimes it changes to a "missing or failed printhead" This happened just after the printer downloaded an update which I assume was new firmware. I found a troubleshooting guide on the support site and tried it, but have not resolved the problem. It is late so I plan to try again tomorrow, but wondered if others had this problem after a download.

I have the same problem on my officejet pro 8500 a909g. I get thee message, renew the magenta cartridge! I did that, but stille get the same message and I cant print at all. I am afrais that HP has pre programmed the printer to go down after some working hours or a given amount of outprint. I do not know where to get assistance to solve the problem, but will let you know if it succeed. I am from Denmark. Best regardsSteen

HP Officejet Pro K8600 - Black Ink issue

Hi everyone,
I have HP Officejet Pro K8600, the printer was fine but after I printed on 4x6 HP Premium Glossy Photo Paper now when I print normal text document the Black Color is not too black it is sort of faded black (very dark grey). I chose different presets e.g. Default Settings, Plain Paper Best, Plain Paper Fast Draft, Plain Paper Fast Draft Black and White and set paper type as Plain Paper but the results are all same. But again when I print a full color photo on 4x6 HP Premium Glossy Photo Paper with preset Photo Paper and HP Premium Photo Paper the printout comes fine and the black color is deep and normal.
I will be waiting for your prompt solutions.
Regards,
Mak

I will add the following:
I changed the Black cartridge but still with the same issue. I am trying to change the printhead with following the steps given in this page http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c01289505 but the carriage does not move to the left.
Any clue?

HP officejet pro L7555 low ink

Is there a way to "override" the low ink warning for the cyan, magenta, or yellow cartridges so that I can still print using black ink only?

Hi @boilermadman , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I can see you're inquiring about printing with empty or low cartridges. I would like to assist.
The printer does require some ink in the printer. Printing with empty cartridges can cause damage to the printhead, so there is no way to override it:

HP Officejet Pro 8500A 910A "Ink cartridges appear to be missing or damaged"

I have a yellow ink cartridge that is still 75% full but now my printer is giving me the error message, "Ink cartridges appear to be missing or damaged". I have tried all of the troubleshooting tips recomended by HP and all have failed other than replacing the cartridge, and that worked. I am trying claim a warranty on this cartridge as it is still well within the warranty date. HOWEVER, everytime I input the information, the page switches to the sales page!!! I am ready to throw this $350 POS HP 8500a out the door and burn it then post the video on youtube of how crappy the service and product is! PLEASE GIVE THE DIRECT LINK TO OBTAIN THE WARRANTY ON THIS INK CARTIDGE!!!! Or is this your plan to make people so frustrated that they give up and you don't have to reemburse the customer? Way to go customer service!!!
Regards, Joanns

I'd advise calling HP phone support. You'll need to tell them the warranty ends date written on the cartridge...(no need to enter it on the website, as that's just for printer warranty)

HP Officejet Pro L7590 Blank ink stopped working

Hi, my problem is that when my black in ran out, I replaced it with a new one, it worked for a couple pages then stopped. The printer is still making all printing actions, just nothing showing up on the page. all colors still work. I have tried a total of 3 New black 88s and it has to be the printer. Not sure how to fix this. There are no errors coming up or anything. Anyone have any ideas. I already powered it of, unplugged it over night, Everything. Can't figure this one out on my own.
Thanks )

Hi,
Maybe there is some dried ink in the printhead
You might want to try cleaning the printhead.
Press the setup button that is available in the printer, then choose Tools-> Clean Printhead.
I work for hp but my statement above is my own, not of hp
