HP Officejet 8610 Printer Error

[Jetsfan]

Hi, I revently purchased a Samsung Galaxy A20 phone and tried to print from said phone, I was prompted to setup wireless printing, I don't use wireless printing I print from the network  but I said "whats the harm" didn't realize I was using Samsung print service as I forgot to install the HP print service. I tried to print the document and the printer icon on select printer dropdown menu was flashing (appearing and disappearing) I should have known something was wrong but I printed anyway. Printer received the print job started making the getting ready to print sounds. Then it stopped and gave me printer error nothing else. It was working fine minutes earlier I had printed from my Win10 pc and my other phone. I tried a reset with the ink cart removal trick but the reset stopped at calibrating and the ink removal no longer works.

Please help me find out what the heck is going on.

Thanks in advance to any and all who try to assist me.

The ink removal reset trick no longer works not ink removal. Sorry if that confused anyone

Hi @Jetsfan,

I'd like to help!

Try the below suggestions

Check for obstructions in the carriage path

Clear obstructions from the carriage area inside the printer.

1. With the printer on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.

2. Open the door to access the carriage inside of the printer.

3. Look in the carriage path for debris such as crumpled paper or dislodged labels, and then remove any that you find.

   

4. Use your hand to move the carriage to each side, making sure it moves freely. If the carriage is stalled or docked to one side of the printer and you cannot move it, continue with these steps.

   

5. Close the carriage access door.

6. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer, and then turn the printer on.

If the error persists, continue to the next step.

Reset the printer

Reset the printer to recover from printer failures.

1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the printer.

2. Unplug the power cord from the power source.

3. Wait 60 seconds.

4. Reconnect the power cord to a wall outlet and to the printer.

   NOTE: 

   HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

First let me say thank you for responding and trying to resolve this issue. 

I have tried everything thing you suggested many times before. I went ahead and tried them again anyway but alas same result. I connected to PC today via USB (it is usually connected via patch cable) and printer is now showing on my pc (it wasn't before after I tried to setup wireless and got "printer error" on printer screen) but when I went to print got "printer error occurred" on pc, which was expected. Now when I try to power off printer I'm getting a new message on the printer "Initialization and Calibration in progress do not turn printer off or disconnect from power until process is complete" then back to "printer error" on printer screen. Also it's not doing any initialization or calibration (just so know) and printer will not power off via power button.
