HP officejet 8600 printer do not print

I'm fed up with my printer Wi - Fi security etc. which requires constantly re - start. I would like to connect using a USB cable. Is this possible? My computer is connected to the wireless network, and this cannot be changed.

I have a 8600 Pro HP, model N911a.

The Test of the wireless network still works and it prints almost never these days. Recently updated the driver automatically. No improvement.

Thank you!

  • HP OfficeJet 8600: Print using black ink only

    We use our printer as a copier only.  It is not connected to a computer.  Why do the color cartridges run out of ink and we cannot print black print.  We print any documents using color.  Is it possible to turn on the black only?

    Sorry, but the HP Officejet Pro 8600 has separated from the inks and printheads and requires that all inks are available to avoid damage to the print head.

    You can minimize the ink used with the following steps:

    • Use draft mode when the quality is sufficient.  Draft mode uses about half the ink or Normal or best mode.
    • Power switch of the printer only allows to turn off the printer.  If an external switch (as a protector or output impulse) is used more ink will be used at startup.

    HP and other printer manufacturers have technology another printer for different needs.  For ink jet printers:

    • Some have integrated into the ink cartridges print heads.  These printers can print generally with one or more of the colors completely empty, or even with color or black cartridges (but not both) removed. The Officejet 8040 has us an example.
    • Other printers have separate replaceable printheads and inks.  An example would be the printer Officejet 8600.  In these printers print head can be replaced if they are damaged by running the printhead with colors off.  Some of these printers allow printing with a color, the other will not.  If the printer is run without ink in one or several colours, the printer may be damaged, but the user may be able to recover without having to send to the printer for the service.
    • Other printers have permanent print heads.  To run only those without little ink in all colours would risk causing damage to the print head because of clogs, air ingested in the printhead or grilled printhead resistances of shooting. The Officejet 6700 is an example of this type of printer. For printers with fixed print heads that could require the service to get the printer to print properly again when the ink is finally replaced.

    The document described here how the ink is used.  The document is written for inkjet printers HP the same principles apply to printers inkjet from other manufacturers.

    If you do ever print color laser printer would probably be a better choice.  If you occasionally print color but especially black a HPI printer as those in the first category above can be a good choice.

  • OfficeJet 8600 printing blank envelopes

    SW: Windows 8 Pro 64-bit, office 2013

    My new OfficeJet Pro 8600 prints empty envelopes. The diagram in the feeder indicates that the envelope should be centered on the length, face down. Word indicates contrasting, face down but positioned on the left side on the status bar. In Word, you can adjust the Center parameter.

    I have tried every combo and my printer goes through the motions and an empty envelope out.

    The people of HP support told me to return the printer even after I explained to him that it is a widespread problem. I suppose that technicians in India have Google. As I do support me I can tell you it's the laziest answer when it comes to troubleshooting. They did not yet offer another suggestion - just that my printer is broken.

    HP must spend a fortune on items returned if it's the first line of defence standard reply. Maybe if they hired professionals trained in this country, they might even do save a bundle on all of these declarations of erroneaous! Hey - what a concept - trained from people might actually be a good idea!

    Any suggestions to stop other than the purchase of HP products? Thank you very much!

    Hi, try the following.

    In the 8600 printing preferences, select "Paper/quality" and then under "Paper size", select "envelope #10".»
    Apply the changes and exit.
    In Microsoft Office Word.
    Select the envelopes are centered in the taskbar and select the envelope size #10.

    A reminder to make sure that the 8600 firmware is up-to-date.

  • OfficeJet 8600 more - will not install - error message "carriage jam".

    I'm unable to install a new printer of all-in-one OfficeJet 8600 Plus.  I was running through the installation routine when it hit a barrier, that it cannot go beyond.  I got the "Carriage jam" error message on the printer screen.  I ran through HP Web sites and found one on the point: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02919171

    I did everything that the foregoing asked.  I pulled the cart holding the ink cartridges and put again.  I 'reinstalled' of the carridge another 3 times, and the third time, instead of seeign 'Transport Jam' once again, the machine began to re-start, but then got stuck on a new screen, that says 'printer preparation', with the logo of HP that swirled around, stating that it was ongoing.  He spent forever, and when I tried to turn it off, it wouldn't let me, so I pulled the plug.  When I plugged in again, I was back to "Carriage Jam".   What can I do else?

    The guy at Office Depot said to bring it back, and he would exchange for a new (I bought it today).  I guess I will, if anyone has a better idea. Thank you.

    Hi Ismellwabbit,

    Sorry to hear that you are having problems.

    I totally agree with the guy from Office depot. If you are having problems on the first day, I strongly suggest that make you it

    take it to a new. Don't waste your time trying to fix it because you may have a defective product.

    These things happen because of several reasons that could happen anywhere bewteen from production to delivery.

    I hope this helps! Sorry you had a bad first experience. Totally been there myself and I know how that feels.

    It is a mistake on the part of Windows. He thinks that the printer has lost the connection, when in fact, the connection is always ther.

    I have networked printers at home, and I usually see this message once a day.

    When I then click on the desktop icon to check the problem, the routine is able to communicate with the printer without any problems.

    My printers are connected by a cable to a switch ethernet, so I KNOW that the connection has not been ignored.

    It doesn't seem to be a way to STOP Windows generates this message.

  • OfficeJet 8600: Printer is on but inactive on laptop and cannot print. How can I print?

    My printer has been set up and I have downloaded all the drivers and followed the instructions, but I still cannot print.   I ran a test page and print it from the internet, but I can't print from my laptop.  It says that the printer is in sleep mode and I have tried all movement of the printer and connect the usb cable.  Is there another way to get my laptop and printer to "talk" to each other?

    Hello

    You can try to remove the printer and add a second time to see if this helps to get a better connection. Open the Preferences tab, then on the printer/scanner tab and use the sign less under the printer icon to remove the printer and then add again using the sign.

  • OfficeJet 8600 software does not

    I used the hp 8600 pro all-in-one for some time now without any problems.  I have windows 8.1.  the other day I tried to open the hp printer also from the desktop scanner and the software does not open.  I am able to print anything on the desktop and scanning to the desktop of the printer.

    I deleted the software and drivers and reinstalled everything.  Always the software does not open.

    The problem seemed to start after I caught the binkiland virus.  I bought spybot to remove it.  I have used spybot before and didn't have any problems later.

    Any ideas?

  • scanning duplex hp officejet 8600

    Hello!  I was wasting a ton of time trying to figure out how to scan duplex using HP officejet 8600.  Is there a driver or software, I need?  Now when I go to my settings of the printer in the Control Panel, it only shows my printer and fax. I don't really see an option to change the settings on my scanner.  Even if I can scan.  I want to be able to use the high plateau of the loader page to scan both sides.  (I plan on my teaching books everything on a USB for easy access and sharing.)  "This is the main purpose of me to have bought this printer.)

    Help, please!

    What model 8600 Officejet do you have?  The Officejet 8600 more and Officejet 8600 Premium have ability to scan double-sided, the Officejet 8600 standard does not.  You can check from the Panel with the copy settings - most and Premium have an option to make the copies face 2:1 or 2:2 for the original and copies, the standard version has options for 1:1 and 1:2.

    If you have the Officejet 8600 Plus or Premium, what operating system are you using?  How the connected printer - USB connected LAN or wireless LAN?

  • OfficeJet 8600 more

    The Officejet 8600 Plus does not recognize my Samsung Galaxy Nexus phone with USB connection, giving an error message "disconnection of memory."

    How can I get the printer to recognize this phone?  Thank you.  P

    Looks like you are trying to connect your phone to the printer using a USB cable. This is not possible, I'm afraid. Since your phone has the Android OS, you will need to download the application HP and Biz. You will also need to have the printer on a wireless network. I'll give a link for more information below. Let me know if you need help most.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600: Printer does not print in color

    I just got the color cartridges refilled at Costco. Now, my printer does not print in color.  I printed out a diagnosis and cartridges are showing that they are full.  The actual color of magenta is a deep rose, so I know that some of the magenta is crossing. Cyan (blue) and yellow printed black on diagnostic tests.  I know that Costco filled cartridges with the appropriate color because I can see the color on/in the cartridge.  Suggestions on what to try? I bought the printer on January 27, 2013.

  • HP Officejet 8600 more print and scan problems

    Hello

    I had my HP officejet 8600 more for 2-3 years and always had problems following and just kept reinstalling the drivers as a quick fix. I am now starting a business from home and I have no time to deal with printing and scanning the questions and, of course, my warranty has expired! My operating system is OS X version 10.9.4.

    When I scan to my computer, the printer indicates "not found computer." The status of my mac is no different than when I scanned a document a few days ago! Remove and reinstall the drivers solves this problem temporarily but I want it fixed permanently.

    In addition, when printing, sometimes a page can print immediately and at other times, it may take 5-10 minutes to print even if its status is 100% full in the print queue - even once, reinstall the drivers is a quick fix but I want a permanent solution.

    Any help to solve these problems would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you very much...

  • Printer (n911a) e-all-in-one HP Officejet 8600: higher margins when printing Pages

    I use a Hp Officejet 8600 (N911a) e-all-in-one model.

    Windows 7 64-bit SP1

    The printer is updated to the latest versions of firmware and software.

    Browsers: IE 10, Firefox Google Chrome 32 26

    It is using wireless (wireless router)

    When I try to print something, she often prints too large

    (for example, when you print a coupon, he eventually print half left of the coupon because half right extends beyond the margin of page). You can only print coupons a limited number of times.

    I am able to change the print size in IE 10 by right-clicking > print preview > and size reduction before you print it. Firefox is always printed on the margins.

    I tried using the print Hp and Scan troubleshooting utility doctor. It found no errors.

    Note: this problem is not occue when I choose to print to a different printer (HP LaserJet Professional M1217nfw MFP)

    I am a student, so I insist a lot on this printer. All advice is appreciated.

    Thank you!!!
