HP OfficeJet 8015: Setup, Drivers, Ink and Common Problems

Is the HP OfficeJet 8015 right for you?

The OfficeJet 8015 is the stripped-down sibling of the OfficeJet Pro 8025, dropping fax and Ethernet but keeping the faster engine, 225-sheet tray and individual HP 910 cartridges. It is a good fit for a home office that needs speed and an ADF but never sends a fax. The permanent printhead in this family is sensitive to third-party ink and to being left empty, and the 0x61 error codes it throws are a recurring theme in support threads.

Best for: Home offices wanting OfficeJet Pro speed without fax

Setting up the HP OfficeJet 8015

Set up with HP Smart on either Wi-Fi band; a 2.4 GHz connection is steadier at range. Do not remove the cartridges for long periods, as the printhead dries out quickly. If the display shows a 0x6100004a-style error, power off, remove all four cartridges, check for packing material under the carriage, reinstall and power on.

1. Unbox and prepare. Remove every piece of shipping tape and packing material, install the ink cartridges, and load paper in the tray.
2. Join your Wi-Fi. Keep the printer close to the router for setup. Most printers only connect to the 2.4GHz band, so if your router broadcasts one merged network name you may need to split the bands temporarily. See our Wi-Fi guide if it will not join.
3. Install the setup app. Use HP's official app rather than a driver you found on a search result — third-party driver sites are the most common source of printer malware.
4. Add the printer. On Windows 11: Settings › Bluetooth & devices › Printers & scanners › Add device. On macOS: System Settings › Printers & Scanners › Add Printer.
5. Print a test page and run a scan if this is an all-in-one, so you find any problem now rather than when you are in a hurry.

Ink, toner and supplies

The HP OfficeJet 8015 uses the following consumables. Match the number exactly when you buy: the same printer family often uses several different cartridge numbers by region.

• HP 910 Black
• HP 910 Cyan
• HP 910 Magenta
• HP 910 Yellow
• HP 910XL high-yield
• HP 912 (UK/EU)

High-yield (XL) versions almost always cost less per page if you print regularly. On third-party ink and toner, read our honest assessment first, and note that some manufacturers push firmware that rejects non-original chips.
