My Officejet Pro 8600 Plus paper tray will not return to the proper position. This has happened TWICE now, and always about 3 weeks into using it...

 

 I returned the first printer and replaced it with the same because we love the features and ease of use. But now,  AGAIN?? 

 

I tried printing with it hanging out this time..it will print, but ....COME ON!  It makes it real hard to pull out the tray that my paper lays on after printing!

 

I called HP support the first time, he couldnt help me. Just said replace it.  There has to be something I can do a button or something?  I cant see it..does anyone else know?

I read responses for legal paper and also second drawer but none of these solutions help me. I have a single drawer and when I pull it out too far to put in new paper I can't get it to slide back in. Help!!!

Hi Zadora

 

I understand you aren't able to insert the paper tray.

 

Inspect the tray for any broken parts that might be sticking out and catching when trying to insert the tray.

Gently put in a little bit on the one corner and then line it up for both corners and just move it a bit side to side to slide it in.

I have included the manual, go to page 24 for loading and inserting tray.

Hope that helps.

Unofrtunately useless information. By trial and error I have found the only way to replace the tray is to lift the entire printer from the front at about a 20 degree angle and then the tray slides in. Very defective design. Never buy another HP.

It is possible you have a defective unit, I would suggest you Contact HP for service.

 

It may not be any consolation for you, but the tray works fine on my Officejet 8600 Pro Plus.

When I first googled this issue I found there were over 80 people with a similar problem so it is a design defect.
