I am not sure exactly what the problem is. If an inkjet printer has not been used for a while the ink may have dried out and possibly the printhead needs to be cleaned.

This link shows cleaning the 8600 printhead and removal is shown here.
This is another type of printhead cleaning, different from the above.
Cleaning and removing ink is shown below by our "Scullery" team.
An HP original video on how to clean the printheads by our experts. Yes, this can get messy, but it works. If your ink levels are good but you are printing blank pages then this is likely the solution.
Official HP advice on cleaning.
Some printers have a printhead cleaning procedure.
To clean the printhead on an HP printer, access the printer settings through the HP Smart app, navigate to "Print Quality Tools," and select "Clean Printhead"; this will initiate a cleaning cycle where the printer will automatically run a cleaning process to clear any clogs in the printhead |
Inkjet and printhead cleaning kits are available
