Suddenly, the Cyan has stopped printing and only does a streak here and there if at all.  There is also blue at the bottom of the other colors (see attached photo). I have replaced the cartridge with a new HP one from them.  It still does not print correctly.  I have done ALL of the suggestions:  clean print heads (multiple times!) , turn off and turn back on, unplug and plug back in....STILL does not print.  Any suggestions?????20211224_135711.jpg

Hello @HappyFlutePlaye .
Please update the printer firmware:
https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software13/printers/ojp8600n911_2011A/OJP8600_N911a_2011A.exe

 

  1. Run HPPSdr.exe from the download location on your computer.
  2. Once HP Print and Scan Doctor is open, click Start, and then choose your printer.
    • If your printer is not listed, turn it on and click Retry.
    • If there is a connection problem, follow the instructions in the tool.
  3. Click Fix Printing.
