HP Officejet pro 8600 printer problem or ink problem

[lfistamps]

Followed ALL directions to troubleshoot error code. It says then contact HP support. My warranty is out. Is there any hope to get it to work?

Hi @lfistamps,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

I understand you have trouble using the printer, getting a printer or Ink system failure error and are not able to use the printer after the troubleshooting steps. Sorry to hear about the issue. request you to try these steps and let me know if this helps.

Please perform the steps below. 

Step 1: Check for obstructions in the carriage path

Clear obstructions from the carriage area inside the printer.

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

Open the door to access the carriage inside the printer.

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

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.

Close the carriage access door.

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.

Step 2: Reset the printer

Reset the printer to recover from printer failures.

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

Unplug the power cord from the power source.

Wait 60 seconds.

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

NOTE:

HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.

If the error persists, let me know

I hope this helps.
