- Our HP 6600 Officejet keeps giving me an error 0x61011bed all the time now. I have tried unplugging and shutting it down. Also Cleaned the rollers and took out the all the ink cartridges and installed back in, but to no avail, that error repeatedly keeps coming up. Maybe it is just wore out. It has lasted a long time and we have got alot of use out of it between scanning and printing. If anyone has any suggestions, that would be appreciated.
Thank you and have a good day everyone!
