8600 unable to print photo paper or paper cardstock: Firmware fix

HP has recently released an updated firmware for the 8600 series printer.  The firmware has several product improvements/corrections.  Here is the list:

(1) improve the Diagnostic ePrint for ePrint Setup report
(2) improve the ease of wireless configuration
(3) integrated Web of enhanced Services
(4) improving the print quality
(5) improve ink consumption
(6) improve the performance of path of paper
(7) to improve the performance of numerical analysis

The firmware version is CLP1CN1304AR and was released on 21-03 - 2013.

As mentioned in 6), the performance of path of paper has been improved and this was achieved when printing with the cardstock / Photo in the 8600.

There are 3 different versions of the 8600 and I'll give you the links below for the download page for this update of firmware for each.

Basis of 8600 (N911a or CM749a)

8600 (CM750a or N911g)

8600 premium (N911n or CN577a)

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8600: How to print on paper of custom format with Officejet Pro 8600 for Windows 10

    Problem: Cannot create a custom for HP Officejet Pro 8600 paper size

    Found a solution for Windows 7, but I need this same problem solved for Windows 10...

    The solution: 'Using pilot Deskjet 9800 to set a custom paper size to print for Officejet 8600' worked very well for me on a Windows 7 machine...

    However, the HP Deskjet 9800 driver is not available for Windows 10... you have another driver I can use that would work with Windows 10 and which is compatible with the HP Officejet Pro 8600... ???

    Hello

    Use the HP Deskjet 6940 as another driver, if it is not listed under HP it appears after clicking the Windows Update button in the Add Printer dialog box:

    1. Right-click your printer 8600 and select printer Ptoperties. A note which port is selected under Ports.
    2. Click Add a printer.
    3. Click on 'the printer that I want isn't listed.
    4. Select A Local port or a netowrk with manual settings.
    5. Select the port used by your printer.
    6. Select HP
    7. Select HP Deskjet 6940
      Note: Click on Windwos update if it is not listed under HP.
    8. Fill the wizrd and 6940 driver allows you to print a document custom formats.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 will not feed photo paper. post 'message of paper '.

    I went through all the troubleshooting steps. Clean the roller, etc. the printer will be fine plain paper feeding, but not the photo paper. I use new paper, shiny and Matt brand HP. Suggestions? I n ' t had this printer a year yet, but it's out of warranty. I use Picassa with Windows 7

    Hello

    I see that you have a problem with the printer print on photo paper. I would first do a hard reset with the printer.

    Hard Reset:

    Unplug the power cord from the printer and the wall

    Wait for 30 seconds

    Then plug the power cord into the printer, and then on the wall (make sure that you plug into the wall and not a surge protector)

    If this does not resolve the problem, I suggest installing a replacement driver. Sometimes the default driver does not trigger the sensors to pick up different than the 8.5x11 paper size.

    You can follow this thread Shane and install the drivers from 990c.

  • 7612 All In One OfficeJet: HP Officejet 7612 won't print without margins on A3 + photo paper.

    Just bought an Officejet 7612 specifically for printing photos without edge of 13 X 19. I use Windows 8.1 and tried 5 different paint and photo printing programs. All programs list the same options of paper size for the 7612 (choice 2 choices, and 7610 series watch regular and fax printer). The only options for 13 X 19 or A3 + with HP advanced paper selected photo is low-margin. I went to options/settings and selected the printer printing without margins, but all attempts to cause a small margin. I don't use HP Photo Creations because he won't open a TIFF, which has better quality than JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG, offers the only options Photo Creations. There are choices for edge to edge printing, but for the smaller paper sizes. I lose paper photo cheap and need help to resolve this.  Thank you

    Welcome to the Community Forum of HP.

    Stop wasting your expensive paper right now.

    I can't read this correctly - you may not be able to do with the 13 X 19 inch Photo paper.

    Take a look at the Plug - plain paper for this size, YES - printer Photo Paper: not-so-good.

    If you can't, don't shoot messenger.

    I hope I'm lazy-brain.

  • Cannot print thick paper my hp laser jet 2840

    How can I print photo paper thick 200 g/m² on laser jet 2840 hp printer it keeps jamming. How windows 7 64 bit hp Pavilion

    What bin you're impression of?  Have you tried to use the 1 vs tray 2 tray, etc.?  Change the tray will often change the paper path and therefore has the possibility of interference do not leave a different bin.  I recommend the Tray 1.

    However, avoid adding print to Tray 1 so that the printer prints or jams may occur. Do not fan paper before loading them into trays and avoid overloading the trays.  Also, be sure to configure the tray properly - make sure it is configured as brilliant - Extra heavy or glossy cardstock.

  • HP Envy 7640 all-in-one: cannot print photos using HP Envy 7640 of the photo tray

    Photo will not print from the photo tray. When I try to print the photo tray is not recognized. I asked about this problem before and I had the printing of photos with Windows Photo Viewer and that worked for me after that I changed the settings as shown. But now it will work for a few photos and then stop working and go back to not recognize the photo tray. I have all the right settings. I unloaded and reloaded the photo paper. Did not help. I tried to print from WIndows and Windows 10 photo App Picasa Photo Viewer. Will not recognize the photo tray. When I load the window of the printer photo paper will not let me choose the photo tray. So I can't yet do this way. I don't understand why it will work sometimes and now not at all. Help, please. I love this printer, but it gets so frustrating. Thank you.

    Hi @Carlene1,

    Since you are able to get the picture to print, which would indicate that the question is in the software, not the hardware. You should be able to print from programs other than the Windows Photo Viewer. If you experience problems when you try to print from other programs, I recommend that you contact the manufacturer of the software.

  • HP Photosmart c4200 all-in-one printer, photo printing

    I try to print an image that is on my pc. Whenever I try to print, photo paper comes out with nothing on the face bright and streaks of ink on the back or he is also dating a little of my printed image but the bad colors. I tried changing the settings to see if this can help, but nothing. I would really appreciate the help.

    Hi lvalente11,

    Since all settings are set correctly and that the paper is not feeding properly, it would be a problem with the hardware with the printer. You use the supported HP Advanced Photo Paper, paper too long that the appropriate paper type is selected, then it wouldn't be a problem with the driver.

    Dust and dirt from the air can build up on the rollers, making them smooth. If the document does not proceed at the correct pace thanks to the printer, it may cause this problem. Proceed to Solution 4: clean the rolls of paper in this document to see if it will help.

    'Paper jam' Message displays on the all-in-one.

    If the problem persists, I recommend you call HP Technical Support for further assistance to see what other options are available for you at 800-474-6836.

  • How can I set up my new Officejet Pro 8600 more printing on paper photo 4 x 6?

    How can I set up my new Officejet Pro 8600 more printing on paper photo 4 x 6?  I'm running on Windows 7 64 bit.

    It's strange.  Looks like you have a second paper tray and put it to the default tray.  The second paper tray only supports the types of paper that show on your list.  It's strange because unless you have purchased a second tray paper, plus model has one.  Does only the high-end model.  Other than that, only certain types of media can be duplex, so if you have double-sided printing, it can limit the selection.  I'll watch what else could be the cause and get back to you.

  • Office Jet Pro 8600: bad quality printing on HP Premium Plus Photo paper

    Using HP Premium Plus Photo paper print quality is terrible! I have selected the correct paper and the "highest DPI", but the results are shockingly bad. The same photo printed on paper ordinary is by far superior, so it seems to be the book that is the problem. Anyone got tips?

    HP Premium Plus Photo paper is designed for dye based printing.  Printers Officejet Pro 8600 used pigment ink which is not compatible with the HP Premium Plus Photo Paper.

    I suggest that you try the Photo paper advanced HP, it is more appropriate for the Officejet Pro 8600.

  • Printing problems using the new premium photo paper more HP

This paper feels very different to me, and it seems that the paper is too smooth to be taken over by the printer. Ideas?

    Thanks anyway...
