  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 all-in-One connected as network printer loses connection

    In December 2011, I bought a HP Officejet Pro 8600 all-in-One to replace an Officejet 6500 as my network printer home. The 6500 worked very well on my cable, but his screen did not, I tried some of the features offered by the 8600 and I got a good price on a new warehouse of BJ. I have the 8600 connected via ethernet (not wireless), with a static IP address. All my computers on the network are running Windows XP Pro SP3 and are up-to-date with Microsoft updates. However, from one day to the next my 8600 will lose connectivity scan (Scan of the computer shows it as being disabled on all my computers at the same time, and I can't reconnect), and if I do not have anything he'll (as in a few hours) also lose connectivity impression. The only way to restore connectivity is to uninstall the HP Officejet Pro 8600 device software basis of all computers, and then reinstall the printer. I had a phone conversation and two debates with HP Technical Support; They suggested that the problem is in the firewall on the computers (but if that were the case I don't think that the loss of connectivity would occur on all computers at the same time), the IP address setting (doesn't make sense) and the printer driver is not not the latest version. I tried all the suggestions, and none of them have solved the problem. The last counselor "has raised the issue to the next level", which proved to be a Manager with no technical expertise and his only suggestion was that I have to return the printer to the merchant. I think the problem is the firmware in the printer (which, according to the 'update' on the printer option, is the latest version). Any other suggestions or experience?

    After a lot of research and find the settings that I did not know that Windows XP offered, I found that the following appear to have solved the problem I've known - at least the printer is now operational for more than 48 hours without losing printing or scan connection. Here are the steps I used:

    1. Start Control Panel  connections network and Internet

    2. Choose "network connections."

    3. Right click on "connect to the Local network.

    4. Choose "Properties".

    5. In the top window is the name of the Ethernet computer connection port, select "Configure" next to this window

    6. Select the tab labeled 'Power Management'

    7. Uncheck the box "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

    8. Select the "Advanced" tab

    9. Select the entry "power saving Mode".

    10. If this entry is set to change 'On' to 'Off '.

    11. Select 'OK', and then close the windows that were opened

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 All in one – elbows / folds document

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600 all in one. I've used it for almost a year and recently when I print on plain paper my doc over dating a turn on paper. The elbow is always in the same place, 2 1/2 "from the top of the page. The crumpled section is about 1/2 "in length. Impression of quality and all the rest is good.

    I printed a few pamphlets with this printer using heavy paper for brochure of gasoline that does not bend like my regular stock. Any ideas.

    I have the same problem, but just behind the box!
    IT IS SHAMEFUL! The printer is practically unusable!

    Sometimes it shredded paper!

    The printer driver is also very basic, compared to Canon for example.
    On top of that, it does not save the changes to your settings,
    We have to bury in the HP software!

    Also, the printer is unable to make a copy without border.

    And last but not least the printing quality is very poor.
    my printer Canon does better printed with generic ink...

    It is also large and noisy.

    I completely regret my purchase.
    I can't even sell it now as it's deffective.

  • ANALYSIS QUESTION - OFFICEJET PRO 8600 - ALL-IN-ONE

    I HAVE A HP OFFICEJET PRO 8600 PREMIUM E ALL IN ONE-N911N PRINTER.  I have
    HAS RECENTLY HAD SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE SOFTWARE/DRIVERS DESKTOP, WHERE THE
    SOFTWARE DOES NOT OPEN ON MY DESTOP.  I CONTACTED HP TECHNICAL SUPPORT. THEY
    TOOK CONTROL OF MY DESKTOP AND MY SOFTWARE HAS DETERMINED COULD HAVE BECOME
    CORUPTED AND SO DOWNLOADED FROM THE HP WEB SITE LATER
    THE OFFICEJET 8600/DRIVERS SOFTWARE VERSION, AND THAT SEEMED TO
    SOLVE MY PROBLEMS, UNTIL I DISCOVERED WHAT I BELIEVE, IT IS A BUG OR HAS
    SERVICE CAPACITY FORGOTTEN WHEN SCANNING BY USING THE MOST RECENT SCANNING
    SOFTWARE.   THE QUESTION IS, WHEN YOU USE THE 8600 DESKTOP SOFTWARE TO ANALYZE
    A DOCUMENT: IF I SCAN A FEW PAGES USING THE DOCUMENT FEEDER, THEN,.
    BEFORE I SAVE THE FILE, I WOULD LIKE TO ADD ANOTHER PAGE SCANNED, TO THIS
    SAME FILE, BUT YOU WANT TO ADD THIS EXTRA PAGE USING THE FLAT GLASS
    (NOT THE DOCUMENT FEEDER), THE SOFTWARE NOT ME LETS NOT DO THAT. THE
    SCANNING SOFTWARE IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THE PAGE EXTRA (S) TO BE
    ADDED, COMING THROUGH THE DOCUMENT FEEDER (SOFTWARE ONLY)
    RECOGNIZE ADDITIONAL PAGES TO COME FROM ANOTHER SOURCE, OTHER THAN
    FROM THE SAME SOURCE YOU STARTED SCANNING WITH). I'VE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO
    DO THIS WITH MY OLDER VERSION OF THE DESKTOP SOFTWARE (CD VERSION ONLY)
    CAME WITH MY PRODUCT), BUT SINCE I DOWNLOADED THE LATEST VERSION, IT
    DON'T ME LETS NOT START SCANNING OF A DOCUMENT FROM A SINGLE SOURCE (DOCUMENT
    FEEDER OR FLAT) AND ADD EXTRA FROM ANOTHER SOURCE () PAGES
    CHARGER DOCUMENTS OR FLAT).  IS THERE A BUG IN THE SOFTWARE?  TO
    SUMMARIZE THE PROBLEM: WHEN YOU START A SCAN USING THE DOCUMENT FEEDER.
    WANT TO ADD ANOTHER PAGE SCANNED ON THE GLASS FLAT, THEN
    SAVE ALL PAGES SCANNED IN A FILE?  YOU CAN'T DO THAT WITH THE MOST RECENT
    SOFTWARE (DOWNLOADED FROM HP WEBSITE), BUT YOU CAN THE MAKE WITH THE
    CD VERSION OVER OLD ONES. IS THIS FEATURE MISSING FROM MOST RECENT SOFTWARE?

    OK, the new SW to use can be found here:

    FTP://FTP.HP.com/pub/scanners/HPScanExt/HPScanExt.msi

    Download and install this.  This will install an application on your system, called "HP Scan" extended.   This software is designed to work with any recent HP scanner that has already installed the drivers.    The software does not replace your existing HP Scan supplied with the appliance.  It is rather an alternative which offers many more features than what came with your device originally.    This software is already available with the new HP machines.

    The selection of the default source is 'Use document feeder so burdened', so you should be able to scan from the ADF or flat all in one session.

    Enjoy!

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium: Tray Lock worked until the upgrade of Windows 10

    Since a year now, I have 1 locked drawer for our book of receipt only, easier than all the other printing set to automatically select the default tray to tray 2 (Tray 1 is locked and all)! But I tried the upgrade of Windows 10, that was an epic fail and my cpomputer was sent to the doctor for the day. When I came back I had to basically start over with a new computer. I have everything back to be better than before, but THIS problem! Receipts in Tray 1 and my payment software its configured for Tray 1 specifically for receipts. All other default things that select and always tray 2. I can't anything out of tray 1. HOWEVER, my boss's computer is on a network with it and when it prints a receipt from his computer he properly dispences Tray 1. Yet.

    Help! PLEASE, I BEG YOU!

    Lacey!

    Hi @L2thaJ,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you are unable to print correctly on tray 1 on your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium e-all-in-one printer. I will definitely do my best to help you.

    Is the other computer Windows 10 institutions, who works for printing on tray 1?

    It looks like Windows 10 and the software you are using does not work with the printer driver, what might happen.

    You are able to print to Tray 1, when printing from MS Word or Notepad?

    Please ensure that you use the latest printer driver for your printer.

    Download and run The printer Installation Wizard. The HP printer installation wizard detects automatically the best print available for your HP printer driver. It is only available for Windows 7, 8 and 10.

    Please reply to this message with the result of your troubleshooting. I can't wait to hear strings attached good luck!

    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.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 Wireless Configuration - print is in the queue, then disappears. Do not print

    I just got the Officejet Pro 8600 as a gift and burden of implementing software and it on my wireless network.  When I try to print an e-mail or a coupon, the command changes to the printer and indicates in the queue. Then after a few seconds, the print queue (work) disappears without printing the document.  This command goes to the HP ePrint feature or the Officejet Pro 8600 network?  It shows the HP ePrint as being on USB.

    I have run all the Diagnostics, downloaded all the new software, software packages and updates.  I spend several hours trying to get to the printer.

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hi @bksechols

    Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support.  I understand that when you send a print job to your printer Officejet 8600 to printing to the queue, then disappears without the printing of the print job.

    To help you, you please provide additional information?

    I look forward to hear from you.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus: Streak black left on the original after copying Document

    Product: HP Officejet Pro 8600 more N911g, only one month, bought at HP online

    Problem: Each document that I put into the automatic document feeder coming out with a black streak in the center of the paper. The copy is a perfect quality, while the original is left with the brand. I don't see a roll of Center when you open the service on the ADF Panel, but I'm probably wrong. What should I do?

    If the line appears on the original after running through the ADF? The line does not appear on the copy image?

    * If this is the case, then I advise you contact HP Technical Support on this product because it is very new, as mentioned above. HP can replace the printer without cost to you. I'll link the information to get in touch with them below. The link takes you to a form to fill out. Once you fill it and she is treated, it will give you the printers warranty information, a file number and the phone number to call.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus does not connect through the Device Manager but will connect bij Win7.

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus that works very well with some computers connected via ethernet.

    On a new computer with Windows 7 Ultimate edition, HP Device Manager can't find the printer, even when I give IP address.

    When I try to add a new printer network in Windows (add printer) windows detects the printer less than a second.

    I need the hp Device Manager configuration so I can use all the options off the officejet.

    Problem solved.

    The printer has a fixed IP address and the customer got his IP by DHCP. By dhcp, dns suffix has been changed so the printer dns suffix and the client does not mach.

    Now the printer receives its IP address by the dhcp server. The dhcp server always gives the same address to the printer.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 N911a, no PC Interface to the printer

    Win 7 Home Premium, 32-bit and 64-bit PCs, wireless connection to the printer OfficeJet Pro 8600 N911a.

    When clicking on the icon of the desktop printer, or to access the HP program in the start menu, MS Notepad opens the interface instead of the interface coding. It's a constant problem since the installation of the software in November 2012. The software has been installed on all three 3 PCs with the disc that came with the printer. All three 3 PCs suffer the same problem of no interface, only Noptpad with the code.

    I uninstalled the drivers and firmware (using Revo) completely and reinstalled from the HP Support download site. The problem remains.

    The interface of Scan function works perfectly in the start menu.

    Other than that, the printer works fine when access to it to print from the sites, as well as the printer works perfectly with all functions when using the control panel touchscreen printer.

    Any suggestions or help appreciated.

    Hi Bobhist,

    I understand that you have a 8600 Officejet which is not able to open the wizard in the printer on 3 different computers. I'm sorry to hear what is happening, but I'd be happy to help you!

    I would recommend you have a look through this HP Printer Wizard opens with an error in Script or in Notepad and you should then be able to use everything as planned.

    Hope this helps, have a nice week end

    Hi @ak80.

    Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support. I understand that when scanning to email you can only send one page at a time. I would like to help.

    Normally when scanning with the ADF, it will take all of the loaded pages and send them into a single file. In addition, when you are scanning from flat bed, it should ask if you have additional pages.

    Are you scanning as described in this document? HP OfficeJet Printers - scan from the control panel (computer, email, MEMORY or network folder)
