"Problem with printer or ink system"

Hello, so this morning I printed out a paper and I saw I was almost out of black ink. I replaced the cartridge and everything was okay. When I went to print out another paper I received the error message "Problem with printer or ink system... 0x6100004e" I went to HP support and found a whole bunch of solutions. I went through the first few, there is no paper jams, but then I realized my carriage was either not leaving the dock or it would come all the way left just to go right back. When I open the door, its like the printer thinks the carriage is moving because it keeps turning the way it normally would. I tried resetting it, and looking up other solutions but nothing. My warranty was up in May. It had never had this problem when I changed the cartridges before, so I really need all the help I can get.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 "Problem with Printer or Ink System'

    A gander at this forum suggests I am one ofa multitude of people perplexed by this issue. There is a notation beside one enquiry which says 'Problem Solved'.... well it isn't for me. My printer (typical!) is one month out of warranty. I had to replace the black cartridge and, when I did, it came up with this error prompt. I then replaced all the other cartridges. HP suggests removing the printhead and following that they say place it 'upside down on a clean sheet of paper'... NO instructions for cleaning it!! When it is replaced in the printer they suggest you 'rock the printhead left and right to make sure that the printhead fully seats in the carriage' and if THIS doesn't fix things 'try reseating the printhead up to 3 times'... This in itself is an admission of an 'issue' with this product. It doesn't sound like a very scientific engineering 'fix' to me!
    A new printhead costs almost what we paid for the printer a year ago. I hate consigning anything to landfill that I can avoid... unfortunately it looks like that is where this unit belongs...

    Thanks so much for replying to my post. I tried the fist suggestions and they did not work. So, I attempted to move on Dow to the cleaning of my printer. I am the the first to admit that I'm not the genius when it come to electronics buys, my printer do not seem to have what is described in the photos. I'd like to upload a photo of my ink cartage but do not know how.
    Charleshia, you can upload a photo here to reply. Click Reply, then on the window you'll see the image below..
    click the one which has the red box, it's where you insert the photo
    Going back on your issue.. the basic step would be.. take out the inks then close the door... what error message you  got? If it's saying "Missing Ink Cartridge" just hit OK. Unplug the power cable at back of the printer, plug it back in.. Clean the copper contacts on the ink cartridges using a lint free cloth then reinstall them. Let me know if it resolved it or not.. I can only give basic troubleshooting here

  • Error Message: "Printer Failure" Problem with print or ink system . . .

    Greetings!
    I wasn't exactly sure where to post this, but the error message refers to printer or ink system failure so I thought this was a good place. I've been troubleshooting my parents HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 AiO for the last 2 or 3 hours with little success. I've contacted HP tech support but they wanted $200 for the work to be done and neither I nor my parents, who are retired and on a fixed income, have the money to spare.
    The tech support people said it was probably a problem with the drivers, so I attempted to reinstall the software, but that didn't help at all. A brief description of the problem might shed some light on this awful situation. Since this morning, my father tried to print something and the printer itself gave the following error message on the front LCD panel on the device itself (ie, not on Windows, but on the printer's display):
        "Printer Failure
         There is a problem with the printer or ink system. Turn it off, then on. If the problem persists, contact HP."
    Obviously my first course of action was to follow the directions. I turned it off, unplugged the cord, waited approx. 30 seconds, replugged it in and turned it back on. Nothing changed. I've also tried removing and replacing the Ink cartridges, checking the tray for a paper jam or shortage and performing a rain dance in the hopes of attracting the gods' attention xP. In short, I'm at my wits end and don't know where to go from here.
    I'm unable to access the device's LCD display control panel, which controls the printer, as the error message cannot be closed. I've tried restarting the PC as well, and a lot of other basic deductive troubleshooting procedures to no avail (forgive my overuse of cliches).
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much in advance. I wish you all a great day, and may the god of printing protect you from the same situation. I can assure you it's most unpleasant.
    Regards, Sean (frosztbyte)
    P.S. I'm not sure what other information might be needed in order to help me, but ask and you shall receive any I can find.

    Hi frosztbyte,
    I understand your parents have an OfficeJet Pro 8600 that is saying it has a printer failure, that you have thus far not been able to clear, despite your best effort and a rain dance (at least I know who to blame for the rain now ). I would be happy to help you as best I can!
    The first thing I'd suggest you do is plug the printer directly to a wall outlet if it isn't already plugged to one, just to ensure the printer is getting all the power it needs to function properly. If that doesn't seem to change anything though, please have a look through this A 'Printer Failure' Message That Might Include an '0x610000f6' or '0x61xxxxxx' Error Code Displays o... document (it was steps for the same error without an error code as well) and hopefully it can help resolve the issue.
    If the issue persists after trying the wall outlet and that document I would advise you try call HP again. I believe the number you called previously may have not have been HP, but another company. If you're in North America just call 1-800-474-6836, and if you're anywhere else have a look at this Contact HP Worldwide page to see what number to call for your area.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!!

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500a problem with printing black ink

    I have an Officejet Pro 8500a printer. When I print documents, it will not print anything in black ink. The colors work fine, but black just won't print. The printer claims that the black ink cartridge has plenty of ink, and when I shake it I can tell that there is something in there. So, I don't think it is an issue of the black ink being out. Is there a chance that something is blocking the ink from coming out? Any fixes to this besides buying a new ink cartridge?

    Sorry that you are experiencing this problem. Here is a link that may assist you with the ink system.

    It seems to be a bad print head, or it needs manually cleaned with lint free cloth and water. If these steps do not resolve the issue, contact HP Support (1800-474-6836).

  • There is a problem with the printer or ink system.

    Will not print. Turn it off then back on; will print one document, but not the last page. Try printing only the last page, but will not print. Will not print one page documents at all. Will not print more than one document without repeating this process.
    First Error message: "There is a problem with the printer or ink system. Turn the printer off, then on. If you continue to get this message, contact HP." Out of warranty.
    Tried this page: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03081973
    Which led me to this page: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03262508
    Now that the ink cartridges are removed as instructed, the carriage will not return to the center of the access area.

    Hey @KennyBee51,
    Thanks again for getting back to me regarding this issue.

  • Problem with the printer or ink system. Turn printer off message.

    A message on the printer reads that there is a problem with the printer or ink cartridges.  I turned off printer several times, I have replaced cartridges.  At the bottom it says to contact HP. What do I do to get my printer working again? I also need to delete other printers that are listed as ones that I can use.  I don't have any idea about these other printers other than the HP printer 6700, All in one.

  • HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one problem printing. Ink System Failure has failed unable to copy--

    I'm having a problem printing on my HP Photosmart C7280 All-In-One. The following message is what came up on the printer screen: Ink System Failure has failed unable to copy, receive faxes or print. Refer to printer documentation Error O.cl9a0007.

    Hey Spider! First off welcome to the forum.
    I would recommend removing all the ink cartridges, unplugging the USB cable from the computer that connects to the printer, and then shutting the printer off completely by removing the power cord. Then restart your computer. Turn the printer back on but leave it disconnected from the computer. After it has finished its power on cycle go ahead and insert the ink cartridges back into the printer and be sure to seat them properly.
    After you have all the cartridges back in the printer properly then connect it to the computer. See if this resolves the issue. If not post back with any findings.
    Thanks,
    SeanS

  • Officejet Pro 8600 error message on startup "Printer or ink system problem"

    My networked HP Officejet 8600 ran out of black ink...changed cartridge, then error message that required the C,Y, & M cartridges also be replaced...done...now get a startup "problem printer or ink system" message. 
    Have reseated the printhead and cartridges multiple times.  Same message at startup. 
    Suggestions please!

    Not resolved...Did all items...still got message (as so many others have also).
    Not solved...unhappy that this occured the month after warranty
    expired...then read the many, many other experiences of others
    that seem much too similair to my situation...makes me feel that HP
    potentially built-in a failure of this nature...ordered a new printhead.
    If this fixes the situation and I get a similar happening 13 months from now...
    my ambulance chasing relative may have great grounds for the career making
    class action....

  • Problems with printer and network connectivity

    So I've been using an HP B110a photosmart wireless e-all-in-one printer that I got with my macbook pro and at the start, everything worked perfectly in terms of wireless printing, ePrint, and AirPrint. But recently, when I try to print wirelessly, it says the printer is not connected and I also can't find it on the list of nearby printers on the 'add printer' window. I also had problems with printing via ePrint but those have cleared up (I don't know what was wrong but it's fine now). Printing with AirPrint on my iPod touch has stopped working as well because the printer doesn't show up when I search for nearby printers.
    Here's what I've checked/tried so far:
    All the wireless services are enabled on my printer and my mac
    I've reset the printing system on my mac, printer settings to factory defaults
    Restarted mac/printer/iPod
    Restarted router
    Reinstalled HP printing software that came with the printer
    All software is up to date
    Wireless printing on another windows computer does work
    Setting up wireless printing using the HP install disc doesn't work
    Trying to add a new printer using the HP software disc that came with the printer is unsuccessful in locating the printer as well.
    Printing over USB is problem-free
    When I tried restarting the printer/router, I could see the printer for just a few minutes in the 'add printer' list but then it would disappear from the list and the printer would be 'not connected' so I can't print wirelessly.
    More info
