HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer - N911a
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

The ink access door has a sticker that says black 950, color 951  So I ordered Genuine HP ink 951-tricolor.

When inserted, the printer returns this error message: "The installed cartridges are not compatible with this printer"

Looking at the side of the box, it says :

HP Office Jet 8600

HP Office Jet Pro 251dw 276dw 8100

8610 8615 8620 8625 8630

So why does the printer say 951 and then when I get the ink, the package lists the 8600 NON-PRO but not my PRO!!

Are the 8600 and 8600 Pro so different that they take different ink?

How can I get ink for the 8600 Pro?  What number do I use if I can not see the side of the box before ordering?

So what are these Z10 numbers?  I can not find ANY cartridges with these Z10 numbers on them.

This is what is on my access door:

No mention of Z10.  Even when I include the Z10 in my search, there never is any that show Z10 on the box.  I've always and only ordered 950 or 951 (no Z10).

 

So where can I find these mysterious Z10 cartridges?
