Can I use Replacement Printer ink cartridges for HP officejet Pro 8610

I recently purchased an HP OfficeJet Pro 8610. I previously had an 8600. They both use the same ink cartridges. I had just installed some remanufactured 950 XL and 951 XL cartridges in the old printer and tried to use them in the new printer. Of course I got an error message that cartridges weren't HP but the printer would still work. I would like to know if I can use other remanufactured ink cartridges with the new printer or if there is some way for the printer to allow me to use other ink cartridges as the HP cartridges are way over priced for the consumers. I hope there is a person out there that is conservative like me and tries to find the best bargains on everything. Your solutions would be appreciated. I waited on HP Support Assistant for 10 minutes with a dialogue I would be connected to a technician in less than a minute. They must have been on break or some other excuse, so I thought I would try this instead. Blessings. John Richardson

Hey @rockhoundjohn
Here's the thing, yes, you can refill your cartridges or use remanufactured cartridges, but you may run into problems.
QualityLogic, one of the world's foremost quality assurance organizations, tested the performance of HP inkjet print cartridges vs. remanufactured (refilled) brands. The results: original HP inkjet print cartridges far surpassed ink refills in both print quality and reliability.
Nearly one out of every six refilled ink cartridges tested was dead on arrival or failed prematurely
70% of refilled cartridges had some form of reliability problem
Count on HP original ink cartridges for consistent, worry-free printing. You may think you're saving money on remanufactured or refilled ink cartridges, but in the long run, the cost of wasted time, ink, and paper can more than make up the difference. - Source
Most people think, 'well of course that is what HP or an HP representative would say', but I have done some research and found that many others have too. Here is a perfect example of somebody who does not work for HP in any way and basically is a customer advocate (in my opinion) ; Should you refill your printer’s ink cartridges? HP says no (of course) By Matthew Murray
I found the above article interesting and genuine.
My personal recommendation is to buy the HP XL cartridges as they are more cost efficient, and be mindful in the printer you choose when buying an inkjet. The 8610 was a good choice. The expected page yield of the HP 950XL High Yield Black Original Ink Cartridge is 2300 pages. The regular size cartridge page yield is 1000, still good but the XL is by far a better value. Some of the Photosmart printers or Deskjets are great for what they are intended for, but do not have as good of a cost per page.
HP's recommendation; Keep in mind that page yield is just one component of cost, and that factors such as quality, reliability, productivity, and efficiency affect cost as well. Products that work reliably will ultimately save you time and money. When you choose an inkjet printer, make sure you consider your individual printing needs.
- Source
To summarize, again, yes you can refill the cartridges. The printer is not programmed to reject them. Sometimes the cartridges will not work and of course because they are non HP, HP would not be able to do anything to help. HP cartridges have a 2 year manufacture warranty; Limited Warranty for HP Ink Cartridges and Customer-Replaceable Printheads for HP Inkjet Supplies, this may give you comfort knowing HP stand behind their product.

Mac can't install USB/Ethernet extension Officejet Pro 8610

For some reason I keep getting this error, "The system extension /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update." during the driver install from my Mac to my new Officejet Pro 8610.
I installed the drivers for my new Officejet Pro 8620 on a different computer and had no issues. Any ideas?

Hi,
Please try repairing the disk permissions as following:
1. Open the the Applications folder.
2. Go to the Utilities folder.
3. Double-click on Disk Utility.
4. Select the hard drive containing the boot volume.
5. Go to the First Aid tab and select Repair Disk Permissions.
Note: This process may take several minutes depending on the Mac and amount of permissions that need to be repaired. The Progress Log will indicate when the process has been completed.
Next, go to Computer (click on Finder, then select Go > Computer)
Select your active boot volume (will more likely be listed as Macintosh-HD)and then navigate to System > Library > Extensions. locate the AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext file, copy it to your desktop (for bakcup porpuses) and then delete it from the extensions folder.
Next reinstall the latest software below and check for any change, if the issue been resolved you may delete the backup file from the desktop.
Please let me know if that helps,

Printer Install Issues for HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf Multifunction Printer

After running the software it keeps telling me install failed check USB, power off then on and try again. I have done all of the troubleshooting methods on your website with no luck. The OS is Windows 7 Enterprise. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@Neogio78
Thank you for your post on the hp.com forums.
Couple of questions: how were you originally installing the printer: USB, LAN cable, wirless? Which software did you try to install: Full Solution or the host based driver (basic print driver)?
My first suggestion would be to uninstall all software and make sure that you delete all the HP folders for this printer from your C:// drive. Reboot your system and try again.

Setting the LDAP for HP OfficeJet Pro 8610

Having problems with the scan to email. don't know if this is the problem. I keep getting the a message about the IP address and not connect to the server, sometimes it work sometimes it do not. I want to set up the LDAP, but I do not know the information to put in. I click on the button to find settings I get a error.

Hi @caseqtr, and welcome to the HP Forums!
I don't know about recovering your password for the Embedded Web Server, but you can restore the network defaults on the printer to reset the password. Resetting the network defaults of course means you will need to reconfigure the wireless settings, but that is simply enough.
To restore network defaults, touch the right side of the touch scree and drag your finger to the left to scroll over to the second page of the home menu, then select Setup. In the Setup menu, choose The Network Setup, and navigate to Restore Network Defaults.
Please let me know if this resolves the issue, or if you require additional assistance. Thanks.

The CD won't support Yosemite. You just need the newest drivers to install.

Where can I download a macbook pro install dvd for my Macbook pro 2.2 because i lost mine...

I don't think you can actually download the install DVD. If you call Apple they can send you the install DVD for a nominal fee +S&H. You will need to provide them with the serial number for your Mac to see if it's registered to you.

I lost my install dvd for my Macbook pro 17" 2.53 i5. How can I get that?

You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee.
You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html Another resource: International Support Phone #s.

Replacement install CD for HP Scanjet Pro 3000 S2 or link to easy scan software?

Hello, I recently upgraded to Windows 10 via clean install and realized that I lost the install CD for HP Scanjet Pro 3000 S2. The website has downloads for the drivers only - not the HP easy scan software or other bundled software. Where can I download this software and/or order a replacement CD? Thanks

I had same prob and after many frustrating days I solved this prob . Open front cover and the bottom of the front cover towards the bottom - you will see a white strip of plastic - in the middle of this is a little black finger that gets stuck under the white strip - with a paper clip or a small screw driver - with light pressure pry this little finger back up and red light will be gone.....
thanks

Driver can't communicate with new officejet pro 8610 for scanning

I just bought a new officejet pro 8610. Followed all directions and set up with wireless connection. Prints fine but will not scan. Will not work if used at control panel on printer or software. First tried it on a windows 7 machine. Just tried on a new windows 8.1 machine - same problem. Very frustrating. Have done the HP scanner doctor and when it gets to driver it says scanner driver can't communicate to product. Used disk and then went to HP web site and downloaded latest software and drivers - still does not work.
I'm about ready to take the printer back but am open to any ideas.

Hi @ecsteve
It is possible you have a firewall or antivirus that is blocking the scan communication. Printing is considered outgoing and is not considered a threat, but because scanning is incoming communication, an antivirus or firewall could be blocking it to protect the computer.
If you have Norton, take a look at the following link; I cannot configure or access a network printer or other devices after I install my Norton product.
I found this in a post by @Norton_Support . If you have a different Anti Virus program, let me know and we will work through this together to come to a solution. Thanks.

Officejet Pro 8610 - Can't connect to wireless network (and has similar issue with previous printer)

When I returned from a trip, I was unable to connect to my trusty HP All-in-one 7510 that I had on my network for three years. I tried troubleshooting it, reinstalling the software on numerous computers, and fixing the printer, but alas the printer said that it was connected to the network, and none of my computers wanted to find it anymore.
Then I bought my new Officejet Pro 8610 this week, set it up...and I am experiencing the same issue. I tried using the link and support took from this post - http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Officejet-Pro-8610-Can-t-connect-to-wi... but the printer was unable to be found on the network.
I would appreciate any help on this issue. Thanks!

Hello @Celestialnova ,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are having problems with your wireless network.
I would like to help.
Since the same issue happened with two different model of printers, lets take a moment to check the network.

I have an hp account. I am installing a new hp officejet pro 8600 to my apple lap top. I need help

I already have an hp account. I need help with installing my new hp officejet pro 8600 to my mac lap top. what is this printer's claim conde # where do enter this code that I received. I need help

Hi pwestra,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you would like to learn how to install your Officejet 8600 printer to your Mac laptop and then setup the ePrint feature of the printer.
The first thing we need to do is to connect the printer to your wireless network. This can be easily accomplished from the front panel of the printer using the Wireless Setup Wizard. If you are unsure how to do this, the steps can be found on page 225 of your User Guide in the section titled “Set up the printer using the Wireless Setup Wizard”.
Now let’s get the printer installed onto your laptop. Please follow the steps in Installing the Printer Software on a Wireless or Wired (Ethernet) Network for the version of Mac OS X that you are running on your laptop. You should now be able to print and scan wirelessly.
To setup the ePrint feature of the printer please start by following the steps in Getting the Printer Claim Code. Once you have the web services information sheet with the claim code you can use it to claim the printer and then Set Up a Custom Email Address for ePrint.
If things go awry while following the above, please let me know at what step things went askance and the contents of any error messages.
Regards,
Happytohelp01
