My printer is an HP Officejet Pro 8620 

First i got the message that my Magenta Ink was out, so bought a new cartridge and now getting a Printer Failur message, with no detail to back it up.  

Have already done the Power off / On routine. 

Have already removed and inspected each cartridge but they look fine. 

Feeling like HP is obsoleting me into a new printer when there is physically nothing wrong with this one except it's age. 

"Planned Obsolescence" i believe is the term used in the industry.

Restart the Printer

  1. Turn off the printer.

  3. Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds.
  4. Wait for 60 seconds and connect the power cord back in.
  5. Turn on the printer.

Run HP Smart:
