if you have this one....don't bother, just go get it replaced or exchange it for something else. after 2 hours of troubleshooting, they wanted to replace parts and I don't have time for that....it's brand new...it should just work.

Hi SJaajed

I'd like to help if I can.

It sounds like you have contacted Phone Support about this? Did they offer you a replacement and you declined?

Thanks

It's called return the printer. Just bought an HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 with the same error out of the box. It's going back to Bestbuy in the morning. Extremely, disappointed with HP's lack of quality now. At one time they were the name in printers, not anymore...
