HP Officejet 6600 Gives Various Error Messages & Not Able To Solve Any

[kimmie_525]

We have an HP Officejet 6600 and I turned it on recently to find multiple issues... PLEASE HELP ASAP!

-First: the paper was jammed (it wasn't) so I seemed to have fixed that. 

-Then: I turned the printer back on and it gave multiple error messages, sequentially:

--error that the printhead appears to be missing/not on correctly

--error that the ink is bad/jammed

--error that the paper is jammed again

-The warranty is expired, apparently, so customer service can't help me apparently. 

PLEASE HELP ASAP!

Hi @kimmie_525,

Welcome to the HP Support Community

I understand you are facing multiple error messages on your HP Officejet 6600 Printer. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

To assist better:

• Are you able to make a copy?
• Was there any recent update on the printer prior to the issue?
• Was there any paper jam or carriage jam issue on the printer recently?

While you respond to that, Let's perform a power drain: 

• With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Remove USB cable, if present.
• Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
• Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
• Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle
