• OfficeJet Pro 8600 appears twice in the selection of drop down menu printer with each of the different names.

  Hello!

  I recently acquired an Officejet Pro 8600 and immediately connected to my network wireless as stated in the manual. No other type of connection has been used beforehand and the operating system is Windows 7 64 bit.

  After that the installation of the printer driver appears twice each time that a program asks me to select a printer from the drop of the printing devices in the typical menu of preparation of printing.

  There is an entry for "Officejet Pro 8600 (network)" and something in the sense of 'HP95CDN' (Officejet Pro 8600). I can't remember the exact names off the top of my head, but it is the name of the printer with the 'network' in brackets in one case and a kind of shortcut ID printer with full name in parentheses in the other case.

  According to the program, one of the options gives the desired impression while the other simply causes a queue of indelible impression for the name of the unit in question that is stuck to a few KB of data transmission.

  Usually printing works with the device with the identification of the printer in its name, but I recently had a case where with LibreOffice printing only works with the other choice.

  Can someone explain to me exactly means?

  See you soon,.

  Direct entry Wireless will be visible under menu so direct wireless is on... However, since you are able to print another icon (not the network icon) I assume direct wireless is off coz you will not be able to print from wireless directly on the printer if you are connected to the router.
  
  I believe that the icon of the printer (not the network icon) has a port WSD assigned and is automatically detected by the operating system and installed.
  
  Go to service window and check if you have any input that says function Discovery Provider Host and see if it is started. Try to stop the service, and remove the icon of the printer (not the network icon) in the print server properties.
  
  Restart the PC and check if the icon comes back or try to uninstall and reinstall
  
  Let us know the result

• Cannot print from MSOffice or Adobe Reader on HP Officejet 4620

  Cannot print to MSOffice or Adobe Reader for HP Officejet 4620, but I can print from the internet, and I can print emails.  My ink level is full, and it prints well on the internet, so, apparently, that my printer working.  What can cause problems printing only from computer programs?

• Printer HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus works but the Scanner does not

  I recently bought a Toshiba laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium operating system.  My previous laptop is a Toshiba also upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium operating system.  I have a printer HP Officejet Pro 8600 more all-in-one printer.  The printer/scanner works fine with my laptop more older but with the new laptop that I can't get to the printer.  I am not able to get the scanner to work.  I reloaded the software several times but the scanner still does not work.  The scanner works fine with laptop more old, even if it has the same operating system.  I get an error message that says "Scan of the computer is turned on.  You can start a scan from the printer.  Your computer is not listed as an available computer control panel of the printer.  If please restart your printer and try again. "Can anyone help with this?

  Hi ranjisamaraweera,

  Even though I'm MVP I represent Microsoft or speak. If I can and will speak
  as I think.

  The proper functioning of the printer and Scanner is the direct responsibility of the producer of material
  and no windows. There are hundreds of these devices that work correctly on Windows 7 if
  those who don't have no drivers and other interfaces which are not compatible to Windows 7 should be
  written correctly. Of course many older devices are not supported by their creators for later
  Versions of Windows. Microsoft passes but does not write drivers and interfaces
  Printers and Scanners need to function properly. So, the manufacturer and no one else, is totally
  Manager to see if there are interfaces and appropriate drivers.

  Many device makers do not write new drivers and interfaces for older hardware because either
  they cannot support the new methods or because they want to sell new hardware.

  Personally, I don't think that Microsoft is lying because they also say that device manufacturers have the
  Omos unique to provide the necessary compatible drivers and interfaces.

  I hope this helps.

• OfficeJet Pro 8600 N911a is no longer prints except the test page or status report

  The object printer worked fine until today when it stopped printing from my Macintosh computer.  I am able to print very small application PAGES but message with any normal print job, I get the following messages:

  The printer ready

  Preparation print

  Connected to the printer

  Print page 1

  (slight noise of printer)

  100% full

  The printer ready

  In other words, she almost immediately jumps to 100% full when in reality it has not yet started printing.  It then acts as if it was ready for an another print job saying printer ready.

  DonovanH thanks for your help.  The result is that now the printer works because of some experiments I did.  I pass the steps you suggested and I still had the problem, but further experiments showed that the pages that would be printed not had a warning that they are associated with "character borders are not supported and were removed.  I don't know why this document in particular has these problems, but I find that all documents without such warning prints fine except that they seem to often slower than expected.  Any document with this warning indicates quickly as it's done 100% but it does not print.

• Cannot print from MacBook Air on the Photosmart 3310 network

  My MacBook Air can connect and print via the USB port on my HP Photosmart 3310 printer, but it can not connect via the URL on the wired home network. The printer is connected to our home network and works perfectly with several other PCs, wired and wireless. Using the option of printing and scanning in system preferences, I chose the icon IP and entered the URL of the printer: http://192.168.1.10 (tried with and without the http://). Under the protococol, chose Internet Printing Protocol - IPP (also tried the other options). Use the default name (address echo). Location in the basement and selected "HP Photosmart3300 series" as being the solution of printer software.

  After the implementation of break, I get the message, "failed to make the printer on your network. " Unable to connect to ' 192.168.1.10"due to an error. You want to create the printer? "When I say yes, he creates a printer icon, but says that the printer is offline. I did, but I would like to see the information tab showing the serial number, address, etc. If communication with the printer exists, but no handshake for printing.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• DeskJet Pro 8600: Ink black print only via Mac OS x 10.10 Officejet Pro 8600

  My Pro Deskjet 8600 is low on ink Cyan but I am trying to print a document Word in black and white using only the black ink cartridge, which is full. I found the setting on my Mac and you have selected "Black Ink Only", but the printer says that I still need to replace Cyan print. Why should I Cyan to print in black and white? Please tell me that I shouldn't keep all 4 full ink cartridges just to print in black and white? See the screenshots below.

  

  

  Hello

  The ink is required for the printer to use, you need to replace an empty ink cartridge to continue printing.

  I have a wireless network of office with some Mac and some PC and an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium.   During the initial Setup, the first Mac was able to print fine, but today, he was not able to print.

  Two PC can print wireless with no problems.  Macs are struggling, but it's different for each:

  2 mac - OSX 10.7.5) installed system Prefreences without problem printer.  Sent a print error-free job, but he blocked indefinitely in the buffer to 100% and never printed.   This Mac was able to print via USB.

  We are on the same wireless network.  The printer is configured with a fixed IP address.  Any ideas?

  Hello whatkatiedoes,

  I understand your frustration I want to gather some information so that we can begin troubleshooting.

  Did you update firmware for your OfficeJet 8600 Premium? If this isn't the case, I wish that install you this, it was released 23/7/2013 click here to update the firmware.

  Also we will go forward and restore the default network on your printer, go to the front panel of your printer and follow the steps below:

  Menu Configuration > Tools > restore default settings

  Now that we have a 8600 OfficeJet updated premium and have restored the default values. I want to you now to connect wireless using the Wireless, Setup Assistant which is also found in the front panel of your printer. Steps listed below:

  Menu Setup > network > Wireless Setup Wizard

  Once these steps have been performed, you can now try to re run the installation software. Here's the direct link for HP Officejet Pro Full Feature software and driver - Mac OS X 10.8. Please let me know the result and if it was successful, I hope to hear from you soon.

  Thank you

  What should I do next to be able to print from my computer Windows 8.1.

  Steve

  Note: This is the first issue I had with this printer that was bought a year ago.

  Hello Steve, I hope you're well

  Thanks for getting back to me with your info!

  Yes, I would first of all, running the wizard of wireless configuration from the front panel of the printer (installation program, Menu, Assistant wireless network), make sure that the printer is connected to your network, then proceed to uninstall the printer, restart the PC and reinstall them both back on your computer.

  I hope that this is the solution!

  Have a great Monday!

• HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus - Duplex printing problem

  I use a printer Officejet Pro 8600 Plus (what is the best printer I've ever had, apart from this problem!).  I use it with Windows 8.1.

  He struggles for more than a few pages print using duplex.  The problem seems to get worse when I print a pdf file.  It starts to print very well and made a few pages, but then I get this message "error on HP Officejet Pro 8600.  "Could not print * name * folder.  It appears on the computer not the printer.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Hey there @operationorphan

  I just wanted to add my own suggestions here for the issue of two-sided printing that you had with your Officejet 8600.

  You can try to update the firmware: get the latest Firmware and updates

  If this does not help, try to uninstall the printer software , reboot the PC and reinstall the printer. This should dissipate all software problems.

  I hope that helps!

  If troubleshooting doesn't help not solve your problem, then I would say call the HP Technical Support to see all the other possibilities for you. If you call in North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions: click here.

• HP OFFICEJET PRO 8600 PRINTING GIBBERISH AT WINDOWS STARTUP

  Hi all!

  My name is Steve and I have a question. I apologize in advance if I'm duplicating this question from another thread.

  Our office has 3 computers connected to a router. The HP Officejet Pro 8600 is connected to the network. There is a problem with 2 of the calculated.

  The question is then 2 3 computers (1 running XP Professional, 1 running Windows 7 Professional are booted up (off) to the printer start printing gibberish and going to print until its cancellation.) Printing will start until Windows has loaded the login window (user account screen).

  Any suggestions? The major functions of printer for everything else.

  Hello

  We use the same previous printer cable. However, we can certainly try another cable. There is no problem printing with any of the programs that we use with the exception of one of them, (known compatibility issue).

  At this point, we don't know if the gibberish that prints to the windows startup is a problem with windows or perhaps the network.

• HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus: software the Printer Wizard does nothing and eats CPU

  Hello

  I currently have a problem with the HP printer Assistant software. I use a HP Officejet Pro 8600. Well I uninstalled and reinstalled several times, redownloaded the latest version of the software from the HP site, tried with a wireless connection and a USB connection, but still have this same problem.

  The problem is when I open the printer to the printer Assistant software (scan, definition of printing preferences, etc.) nothing loads and what I noticed is that in the Task Manager, the program is constantly, nonstop to duplicate in the Task Manager and eventually slow down the computer because of the high use of the processor of these duplicates. I can't stop these processes in time compared to the amount of tasks in doubles at this very moment, and the only way to stop it is to restart the computer. I had this problem with Windows 8.1 and so I've upgraded to Windows 10 but exactly the same problem occurs. If I wait long if I get an error (0xc0000142) telling me that I can not load the Printer Wizard, but the process will still duplicate.

  I tried using the printer with other computers, but they do not have a problem by launching the wizard from the printer. I wonder what is happening and why is the Printer Wizard launch multiple neverending himself as tasks on the Task Manager?

  Add to that, printing works fine, it is train to launch the Printing Assistant software that is causing the problem.

  Hello @jellyjr,

• HP Officejet Pro 8600 - the back of sheet 1 is empty on a PDF printed double-sided.

  When printing double-sided pdfs of three pages or more, the following happens - first page prints on the front of the first sheet of paper, on the back of the sheet is empty. The second sheet has pages 2 and 3 and so on. When I print the same document on a laser printer - it prints well (first leaf has pages 1 and 2, etc.). When I print the exact same documents for Adobe Reader on my machine Windows 8, it prints very well. This happens with Adobe Acrobat or Adobe reader. Print the Word version of the documents works as advertised. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers of HP printer, Adobe Acrobat Pro, and Acrobat Reader. Occurs with several documents from multiple sources.

  Details-

  HP Officejet Pro 8600 - latest version of the driver from the HP Web site

  Adobe Acrobat - Version 11.0.04 (last updated)

  Adobe Reader - Version 11.0.04

  MAC OS X 10.8.5

  Printer connected to the modem cable Arris TG862 via a Cat5 cable.

  Mac connected to the network via Cat5

  Laser printer direct connect for Mac with USB cable

  Windows 8 machine connected via WiFi.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you very much
