• OfficeJet Pro 8600 Premium can scan double-sided legal format of the ATF documents?

  I can't get the award-winning Officejet Pro 8600 to scan one side of a document of legal size of ATF.  I use Panel of the printer to scan to computer and save to the PDF format.  I select original: two-sided in the Panel.  The printer will scan only on one side and an error message appears saying that the tray supports that double-sided scanning for certain sizes of paper.

  Hello

  Thank you for your message.

  Unfortunately, the ADF can scan only 1-sides for legal-size documents.

  You can, however, use the software to "Add pages" using glass as the example below.

  

  Hope that helps.

• HP envy dv6 with windows 8 and hp officejet pro 8600.

  I have a new computer laptop dv6 with envy, (i5, 6 GB of ram, windows 8) cannot communicate with my hp officejet pro 8600 Workbench. I can connect between laptops (dell inspiron w / win 7) to connect to the internet and browse the entire network. I can ping the IP address of the printer, (192.168.0.115), very well. I downloaded the latest version of the software of hp and used to install. Search software of the printer, rather than choose a network or via the network, it requires only a new printer. Everything on the printer is network that worked very well, wireless, eprint, etc.. What I am doing wrong?

  I looked in the staus report printer and the different labels I can find on the printer itself. I don't know that I just lack.

  The printer status report has 47 online date (rounded to the week) the print head has been installed.  Except in rare cases where that the printhead has been replaced, this would be the date of the printer has been installed.

  Hello

  1. you have any security program installed on the computer?

  2 did you a recent software or changes to the material on the computer?

  Method 1:

  I suggest you to disable any anti-virus program and check if the problem persists.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

  NOTE: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Method 2:

  You can also run the printer Troubleshooter and check if it helps.

  Open the printer Troubleshooter

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-printer-Troubleshooter

  Method 3:

  I also suggest to try to run the System File Checker scan on the computer. The scan will replace all the Windows files corrupted with new ones.

  Click on the link mentioned below for further guidance on the scanning of the file system Checker

• HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus stopped Scan of the computer... Said the computer could not be found. Help!

  Hello

  I've been enjoying our HP Officejet Pro 8600 more MFP for a year now.

  Analysis of the it function on our machine no longer works. It indicates that the computer cannot be found. I used this feature all the time in the past.

  I can acquire a scan from an application, like Photoshop and I can scan to a removal storage device, but I can't use the computer Scan, and I really liked this feature!

  A few days ago, our computer has been infected by a virus. A Norton agent could succeed in eliminating it. Do you think this could have disabled the feature computer scanning?

  How can I get the MFP to recognize my computer again? I've looked up and down and impossible to find the solution for this.

  Thanks for any help you can provide!

  (With the help of a HP PC with Windows 7 64-bit)

  This solution fixed my problem:

• HP Officejet Pro 8600 - computer gives error when printing

  I use a computer acer laptop with Windows 8.1.

  My HP Officejet Pro 8600 has a month or 2 without printing because a (then all) of my ink cartridges were empty.  Sometimes I tried to print something forget it, and I would like to get a notice of this ink had to be replaced.

  Last week I replace the cartridges, I had the "Thank you for installing authentic HP ink" pop up on my computer, but I still cannot print.  I get a box pop up at the top right of my screen which indicates the printing error.  No other information is given on what is the error.  All I can find says that the printer works normally.

  I ran, I print head cleaning and it printed a nice test page.  I was able to scan a document to my laptop, so I know that they can communicate with each other.

  Although my clients appreciate getting electronic reports, a paper copy must always be sent.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hi, try to run the HP Print & Scan Doctor program. (link)

• HP officejet pro 8600 - cannot print from my macbook pro

  We just bought a new HP officejet pro 8600 but for some reason, we cannot get my macbook pro to print on it. My mac says it is connected to it. It is listed in the printer only and all the settings look fine, but when I send a document to the printer, it will not be printed. He did print the first day we had (a week ago) but it stopped and we cannot figure out what to do. My daughter's PC will be printed, as well as the pc of my husband. It is the first time that I had problems printing to a hp from my mac. Any thoughts?

  I had my Officejet Pro 8600 about six months.  Recently, I had the same problem.  It continues to print from my Windows computers but not the Mac.   Labour goes into the impression that it is place on a wedge.  I tried many fixes, including the removal of the printer and reinstall.  Usually removing and reinstalling it will fix for a while, but now, even that does not work.  In my view, that the permanent solution is to buy another printer.

• OfficeJet Pro 8600: OfficeJet Pro ePrint 8600 - cannot select paper tray - HP needs to fix this problem

  This is a limitation of the software that HP needs to fix. I bought this machine multifunction largely for two features, ePrint, and two bins to paper. I had released two paper because I often need to print on paper thick and does not want to manually load the cards into the printer whenever I don't want to print on thicker paper. Unfortunately tray 2 is not compatible with card stock so I keep copy regular paper in tray 2 (tray 2 is defined as the default tray) and I keep card stock in Tray 1, which is compatible with cards. The problem and the limitation is when I am traveling and want to use ePrint. Even if my default tray on the printer is 2, which is where the paper is, if I use ePrint to print, HP ePrint by default tray 1, which means that I print on thick paper. This isn't only a problem when you travel. One of the advantages of the ePrint, in theory, is I can print on my desktop at home via ePrint printer when connected to my VPN employers. I've had this machine for two years. It seems that HP would have an update now to solve this problem. So far, nothing. Frustrating!

  Hello @HudsonOH,

  Thanks for posting in the forums of HP and welcome.

  I understand that you are not able to choose your paper tray of your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium e-all-in-one using ePrint. I would like to help with this, as much as I can.

  Unfortunately, when you simply send an e-mail to the printer, you cannot change the print settings, because it uses the default settings on the ePrint server.

  However, if you have an Android or iOS device, you can download the HP ePrint app. This allows you to add the printer by ePrint e-mail address and send print jobs when you are not with the computer (need you an active wifi or data connection, however). The application also allows to select print settings if you can ensure that you don't waste card stock paper you loaded in the machine.

  To download the app on iOS, simply open the app store and type 'HP ePrint' in the search bar.

  To download the app on Android, you can open the store game (or game of Google) and search for "HP ePrint.

  Once you have installed the application, you can add your printer via his email ePrint:

  1. open the ePrint application and select OK on the demo screens.

  2. Once you reach the home screen, it will show your printer name, or not find printers (depending on whether you are at home with your printer, or on the go). Select this check box.

  3. you will see a tab at the top that says all, select it.

  4. press on the + symbol to add a printer.

  5. Enter your ePrint e-mail address and select Add.

  To print using the application, return to the home screen and select an item to print one of the options listed. Note: If you are on iOS, you can even add your e-mail information in the application so that you can print emails.

  In addition, you can sign up here for updates on the new firmware and software for your printer, in which case no alternative workaround should arise: stay connected with updates from HP

  I hope this helps!

  

• My HP Officejet Pro 8600 cannot print from my MacBook Air

  Hello

  My HP Officejet Pro 8600 cannot print from my MacBook Air. It keeps on showing "the printer is not connected", but the display on the printer connected. I often reset the printer "EVERY TIME" I want to use. I also tried to turn off my laptop and printer several times before printing. If I'm lucky, it will work maybe for one or two prints. If no luck then I have to reset everything again. Sometimes I reset the printer, the printer is not displayed on my selection.

  Hello

  The analysis of parameters need to be changed to HP Scan App. launch of the HP scan application from your computer and select the option left (PDF or JPEG...) and then choose the size of legal scan on the right.

  Save and close the application.

  Now you can scan in legal.

• HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 - Scan to computer

  Hello

  I recently bought a HP OfficeJet Pro 8600. Installation and configuration was successful. However, every minute or two, I get a notification of ball on the Windows task bar that says "Scan to computer do not enabled." I assume that this occurs because the printer is turned off after entering a sleep mode is not used for a specific period of time. I could be wrong about this, of course. But assuming that I'm not wrong, my question is how can I disable that irritating notifcation to appear every minute?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  1. open the control panel and write "Notification area icons" in the search:

  • 

  2. the Notification area options appears and select the option that says ""ScantoPCActivation " "

  • 

  3. Select the option that says 'Hide icon and notifications'.

  • 
  • Click OK to close the window.

  I hope that these steps will help you.
