HP OfficeJet Pro 8610. Printer was working OK. Last time I turned it on, this "Printer Failure" message popped up on the printer screen & it stopped working: (see attached link)

I did contact HP, it's out of support, but we tried a couple things - unplugging etc, cleaning heads - but no luck, They said printer is kaput!
Before I take it to the dump, does anyone have any experience with this situation, or any suggestions? or is my printer now just a very large door-stop?

Unfortunately not able to offer a direct answer.

However, just for the record, how old is the printer and do you know how many pages it has printed?

Did you always use HP inks?

Printers are not really made to be repaired/repairable. Cheaply made and initial costs are low. Manufacturers make money via the ink sales.

[Note: As for the dump - hopefully there is a bin for electronics recycling. If so, use that bin.]
