Cannot start "Printer Assistant" Officejet Pro 8600

The Printer Wizard and my 8600 worked well for over a year.  Now, I can't start "printer Assistant".  This may have been triggered by an 8.1 Win update.  Others on the Discussion Board have said to uninstall all programs, HP, reboot and then download the package "full of features" on the HP site.

Everything I did.  Installation works very well.  Print, fax and scan all work very well during a test.  A shortcut has been installed on the desktop.  But I can't start the "printer Assistant", either in the upper part of the counter, the Start button, the program file.

I used the Trouble Shooter to try to find the problem.  Since the troubleshooting I could open "Scan HP - HP Officejet Pro 8600".  From there, I could launch a successful analysis.  But the only way to this page that I found through the Trouble Shooter.

The Printer Wizard is loaded on my computer: worm 28.0.1315.0 file; 5.16 MB. Last updated on 17/10/12.

You have any ideas?

Hi Sticks10,

Thank you for your reply, I appreciate the clarification. I still think that the patch is a good idea to try.

If it still does not respond, try the following in the following order:

  1. Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the printer software.
  2. Clean boot the computer. How to perform a boot in Windows.
  3. Disable all antivirus programs. Turn Windows Defender on or off. (This works in Windows 8.1).
  4. Disable the firewall. Turn Windows Firewall on or off. (This works in Windows 8.1).
  5. Create a new user account. Create a user account.
  6. Re-install the software using the printer HP install wizard for Windows.

Hope this works for you and have a great day!

  • 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.

  • My new printer HP Officejet Pro 8600 causes my computer shuts down after 5 minutes.

    My new printer HP Officejet Pro 8600 causes my computer shuts down after 5 minutes.  Is there a way to find out why?  Is it because I connected to a USB port rather than wireless and telephone connection.

    Original title: computer spit

    I called the store where I bought the printer.  They suggested that I have download the latest driver

    from the HP website.  I did it and it seems to have solved the problem.

  • I need a printer hp officejet pro 8600 for win2000 driver

    Someone in the world has a print driver that works with a printer HP Officejet Pro 8600?

    The Officejet Pro 8600 printer does not support Windows 2000.  I'm sorry.

    However, there may be a workaround solution.  To clarify, I don't have a Windows 2000 system to test this with, and it can take a series of changes for the following steps to work with Windows 2000.  You may need to find the equivalent Windows 2000 for this process steps/formulation as it was done using Windows 7 (the process must be the same).

    It sounds weird, but the Deskjet 990c driver will work for the Officejet Pro 8600, and there's a Windows 2000 driver that is available for download.  However, Windows Update already has this driver and it's easier to use it instead to extract the executable driver and ending.

    Essentially, the printer must be added manually using the Deskjet 990c printer driver.  There may be other resources out there, but I found none on the HP site for the use of this driver instead of the Oifficejet 8600 driver. This will give you only the printing features and nothing else. In addition, there may be problems printing since this isn't an official driver for Windows 2000 for the 8600 (I have not noticed any problems when I did a few test prints).

    1. go where your printers are listed and select the option to add a printer.

    2. Select the option to add a local printer (maybe it's a network printer in Windows 2000).

    3. create a new Standard TCP/IP port.

    4. Enter the address of the printer in the field IP address Ip or host name.

    5. the selection of the pilot window should now be open.  Click Windows update will complete the printer selection screen (may take several minutes using Windows Update).  Select HP for the manufacturer and the printer Deskjet 990c for the printer.

    6 the name of the printer. The default value will be the deskjet 990c since it is the driver used, but I recommend to name what the printer is so that we know what it is.

    7. the sharing screen appears.  If you share the printer, enter the appropriate information.  Otherwise, click Next.

    8. at this stage, the process could be completed.  Print a test page to confirm functionality.

  • Duplex printing HP Officejet Pro 8600 using Mac OSX 10.7.5

    I have OSX 10.7.5 and I recently purchased the Officejet Pro 8600. I noticed that when I choose to print from Firefox browser, I see the duplex printing option. I don't see this option when printing from Word, Excel or Adobe software.

    Is selected in system preferences, then why can't two-sided printing from these applications?

    I wanted to share what I found, in case someone else has the same questions (I got a quick help of Apple Support communities/forums).  I don't know if this applies to versions of Microsoft office, but my key learning is that the checkbox will appear not at all for these programs. You will need to set by other means.

    Microsoft 2008

    Go to the print dialog box

    Choose the submenu "Layout" (I think that this menu by default to "Copies and Pages")

    There is a "double" option, and choose 'off', "mandatory long edge" or "short edge binding.

    Once I did this and the saved settings, he worked also for Excel and Adobe.

    The only problem with Adobe, it's that you must follow these steps whenever you print. If I just hit print without following the steps below, it will not print duplex. The steps are on the following link.

    http://helpx.Adobe.com/Acrobat/KB/print-double-sided-Acrobat-Reader.html#main_Ma c_OS_print_double_sided

    I was expecting the same dialog box that is displayed on the browser also seems with my other apps, and this is not the case.

    10.8.3 OS iMac

    I want to change the value print factory set in the default print setting. I want the documents I send to the printer via AirPrint to print in black and white, not color. But the 8600 by default is always color. Sometimes, I am able to change this setting for individual tasks, but sometimes I can't. I wish that the default to be always in black and white. Is this possible?

    The steps above refer only to the Mac, indeed.

    AirPrint provides all color configurations, but only allow printing in color... all available Airprint parameters are listed in the What are the printing options are available? section below:

  • When you print envelopes Officejet Pro 8600

    I replaced my set two Officejet 7410 due to age, with the top two Officejet Pro 8600. Default tray position #1 (above) works fine and prints the paper standard and photographic paper nicely. Lac #2 (bottom) may receive envelopes #10.

    I use Win XP Pro service pack #3 and the suite MS Office (Word SP3) 2002. When I write a letter, it will be printed correctly in the default tray paper #1, Word allows you to go to the fall of the low 'TOOLS' to select "envelopes, their size, (#10), printing the job-oriented and if you want to add a postal bar code, and then you select the status bar (#2) and click on print.»

    This is the problem, it is unable to select a #2 tray package, even after you ask him to take the envelope tray #2 (low) instead, it takes the default bin #1 a page and print the address on this subject information!

    HP Tech support response was to "Exchange the trays' when printing envelopes! How lame is that? Over the years I owned the model 7410, I never been faced with this question...

    Before buying the 8600, I asked him at dealerships and even supported HP, if the 8600 worked similarly to my 7410 loving... The consensus was Yes.

    Which seems not to be true (at least for me). Please advise me how to solve this evolution very dissappointing. Thank you

  • Cannot update firmware for Officejet Pro 8600 N911a

    I can't upgrade the firmware in my Officejet Pro 8600 N911a.  My current firmware is CKP1CN1416AR.  According to the HP drivers website, the latest firmware is CLP1CN1322CR.  I get the update to run and it identifies my printer, but it won't let me select it.  I use the printer on a wireless network, but I'm trying to run the update of the firmware via USB.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Sunshyn2005,

    Please provide information on this issue.

    Apparently, the problem that your customers have is that they are wasting their time trying to update the firmware on their printers and after a few hours of frustration they finally know that HP has a firmware update file on its Web site that has a date that is much newer than the firmware itself.

    HP should do the following to make the process less frustrating firmware update:

    1. establish dates and version numbers in the file metadata which clearly indicate what firmware file is more recent.

    2. keep the HP web site up-to-date with the latest versions of firmware.

    3 Broudly and transparent announce to the public when an update will be made and why.

    4. establish technology so that firmware can be updated on wireless links so that the networks do not have to be reconfigured to make the firmware updates.

  • Printing HP Officejet Pro 8600 stuck in the queue - Wireless Intermittent

    We have a HP Officejet Pro 8600 (CM947A) that we used it for several years without problem.  I use the version of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.  We have two PC that print wireless.  There were several days of work began to get stuck in the print queue of the printer for both PC to print.  I can cancel the printing of the queue, but the next task will be stuck again.  I print Microsoft Word documents contain a single sentence.  The problem goes away if I restart the printer, but the problem comes back the next morning.  I have re-installed the software print and changed the channel on the router on channel 8 that uses the null in the region.  The printer firmware is up-to-date.  The HP printing software and doctor Scan has not solved the problem. The indicator on the right side of the printer's pale blue wireless is enabled when the problem occurs.  When print jobs are stuck in the queue, I can not connect to the printer by typing the IP address in a browser window.

    This problem has been resolved by the above phone support number.  We have solved the problem by changing the encryption on the router to WPA2 to WPA + WPA2.   The router is a Belkin Wireless G Plus MIMO Router P57746-B.

  • Google cloud print for officejet pro 8600 - could not get information at hp printer.

    I just bought a new of OfficeJet Pro 8600 today. Everything seems to work perfectly except for the Google Cloud Print connector.

    It was an important factor in the purchase of this printer. Help someone?

    OK, nothing is different tonight, but it just worked. I had just opened a chat to HP support and he gave another chance just to confirm, and I came to the page "registration successful". Prints crossed chrome without any problem. I made no changes to the printer, PC, or network. So, the best advice I can give is - it wait a few days... If all goes well, he continues to work :-)
