HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer - N911a

hp officejet pro 8600 says Printer Failure message "There is a problem with the printer or ink system. Turn printer off, then on. If problem persist, contact HP." 

How can I fix this problem. I have replaced cartridges and also did a full reset with no resolution. I have been dealing with this issue for  several months now. I have tried all the fixes I could find online to no avail. I was very happy with my printer until I began having issues with the cartridges and now the 'Printer failure' Any help will be greatly appreciated!

@lavoiefamily9, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

 

I understand you are not able to use the printer due to this error. Install one ink cartridge at a time and check for the error.

Kindly perform the steps mentioned in this document - An 'Ink System Failure' or 'System Supply Problem' Error Displays

 

If the issue persists, I'm afraid this is a hardware failure. Replacing the printhead may or may not resolve this issue. You may do it at your own discretion.
