Dear Friends in the HP Community: Happy New Year to all! Well, we have an HP Officejet Pro 8600. We have two Mac's: the older (2009), which is using the Printer perfectly. My computer (ca. 2020: Laptop) has used the printer in the past. But somehow I deleted the printer factory resets on my newer computer. Now I have no printer! Is there anything I can do to restore the printer on my laptop?  Many thanks, and have a great beginning to 2025! EdKal

Dear Friends, Thanks so much for video. However, no success, thus far. I typed IP address 192.168.1.254, but the HP Officejet Pro 8600 is not responding. My wi-fi is still in use. Thanks, and waiting for your reply. -Ed

Please note: no magenta! But all the inks are absolutely full! HP Printer "told"  me to clean the printheads, which I did.  When the first failed, I was told to try the second attempt, and third attempts to clean the printheads, but they also failed. At the end, the printer said: "Get a another printhead." Any suggestions? Thanks. Ed
