HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer - N911g
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi All,
My HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus was left unused for three weeks.  When switched on again, it reports:  "Printer failure. Problem with printer or ink system.  Turn off then on.  (Did this several times, including disconnecting at the wall.) If problem persists, contact HP."   (Tried that too today, multiple times.  Disappointed not to be able to reach a human.  The HP virtual assistant also gave up, though did also report "printer failure".)

Might anyone be able to help, please?

Happy to provide any further information which may assist.

Cheers

Edward
