A warm welcome to HP Forums! This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips to your technical queries.

HP Officejet 8600 printer is designed in such a way that it will only print when all ink cartridges have enough ink.  Some ink from all the ink cartridges is used in periodic servicing tasks. This helps to prevent issues such as printhead clogs and poor print quality. I'm afraid, there is no way to bypass this feature.

It looks like you were interacting with @senan6806, but he is out for the day & I'll be glad to help you out.

HP does not recommend using refilled ink cartridges, This might damage the ink system of the printer.

However, I suggest you do a Hard Reset

(1) Turn the printer on, if it is not already on.

(2) Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.

(3) With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.

(4) Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

(5) Wait at least 60 seconds.

(6) Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.

NOTE: HP recommends connecting the printer power cord directly to the wall outlet.

(7) Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.

(8) Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.

The printer might go through a warm-up period. The printer lights might flash, and the carriage might move.

Wait until the warm-up period finishes and your printer is idle and silent before you proceed.
