HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus "Ink System Failure"

[McTeacher]

Hi,

I recently reconnected my printer after returning from summer break. The printer is giving me an error message "Ink System Failure". I cannot see any other screens or options; only the message.

I've read other forums and have tried these remedies:

1. Disconnected the power cord from the printer, waited 60 seconds and reconnected the power cord;
2. Disconnected the power cord, held down the power button and reconnected the power cord to get a forced factory reset;
3. Removed all ink heads (brand-new) and removed the printhead and gently cleaned it.

I've talked to the school tech, he said everything is correctly configured. I can't even see my settings on HP Smart. I get the message: Can't open printer home or EWS page. Printer home is not available, because there is no response from the printer.

PLEASE HELP!

Hi,

I have already tried this multiple times. I’m looking at the print head as the issue, and have just purchased a new one.

As this is a hardware issue, I'd suggest you contact HP support in your region regarding the service options for your printer/ computer.

Follow the instructions below to reach them:

1) Click on this link - https://support.hp.com/us-en/contact-hp

2) Select your product type below.

3) Enter the serial of your device. 

4) Select the country from the drop-down. 

5) Select the chat or get phone number options based on your preferences. 

6)Fill the web-form and proceed further.

If you are having trouble navigating through the above options, it's most likely because the device is out of warranty. If yes? please send me a private message with the region from you are contacting us from. Check next to your profile name, you should see a little blue envelope, please click on it.  

Have a great day!

@McTeacher I have two of these same printers that did the same thing within 24 hours of each other. It seems like it is an update issue, but cannot seem to find any options for that. I have completed all of the same steps you did as well.
