A warm welcome to HP Support Community!

Most of the ink cartridge error's can be resolved by power resetting the printer and cleaning the ink cartridges. Let's try these steps:

Please ensure the printer is up-to-date with its firmware. If you are unsure, you can download and install the latest firmware update from here.

1) Make sure this printer is plugged into a direct wall, not a surge protector

2) Remove all of your ink cartridges from the printer and close the door

3) Remove the power cord from the back of the printer (Do no press the power button)

4) Clean the ink cartridges, refer to step 4 from this document.

5) Plug the power cord back into the printer

6) Wait for the printer to turn on completely, then install the ink cartridges.

Let me know how it goes!

I just bought two different sets of ink (one from Amazon and one from HP). Neither are working. Both full sets (C,M,Y,K) give me the incompatible cartridge message. I have tried the "hard reset" instructions I found in another thread. This is did not help. None of the links in this thread are working. (HP Officejet 8600 Plus)

@nhbosox27, Welcome to HP Support Community!

 

If you have already performed the steps from the document  Ink Cartridge Errors and the issue persists, it could be a hardware failure.

 

Please reach out to the HP Support in your region regarding the service options for your printer.

 

Hope this helps!
