HP officejet pro 8600 and connectivity

I have a hp officejet pro 8600 more and that you have connected the system to my old pc (win xp operating system) via a USB cable.

I also want to use the printer from my laptop (WIN 7 64 bit) via my wireless network.

I took a peek on the site www.hp.com/go/customercare and I'm still unsure of what I need to make connections and what setting I should follow to get the old PC and my laptop running.

Should I remove the USB cable and set up a WiFi network only, or use the USB and wireless network?

Assuming that both computers are connected to the same router wired / wireless, then the easy way to do this is to connect the printer to the router (only).

I recommend that connect you the printer to the router with an Ethernet cable, if it is located close to the router.  A Wi - Fi connection is also possible.  Use the Wireless Setup Wizard in the network menu on the front of the printer to establish a wireless connection.

Once the printer is connected to your router, download and install the latest version of the software for your printer from the "Support & drivers" link at the top of this page.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 + and Inkjet printable BD - R

    Hi all

    I have an OfficeJet Pro 8600 + and bought some Inkjet printable BD - R by HP. I can't find a way to print on these discs of the printer that I have. I don't see how the disc can be pulled from the paper tray standard as requiring the flexibility of paper to make turns in the normal way. Is there a secret door, that I can't find?

    I really just bought disks for storage and discovered the ability to ink jet after I bought it. If this isn't a big deal, but I would like to take advantage of this and overcome the danger of my crappy writing on discs.  :^)

  • Need help to set up officejet pro 8600 and scanning to the network on OSX Lion folder

    Hello

    I'm trying to implement my Officejet Pro 8600 more scan to a network under OSX Lion folder.  I have correctly set up the printer otherwise (and can scan and flown from my Mac).  I created SMB sharing as described in the documentation.  My only question is what to enter in the Web server of the printer when it asks for the network path of the shared folder.

    For example, I have the following shared folder:

    / Users/me/Documents/scans/Durable goods received

    on my computer that has name is:

    My iMac

    has an IP address:

    172.16.1.4

    wonder web server of the printer a network path (for example: \\mypc\sharedfolder) but I do not know how to translate my way above in the correct format.

    I tried the following:

    AFP://172.16.1.4//users/me/documents/scans/durable------Goods\ recipes

    but he doesn't like it.

    I also tried:

    Recipes of \\172.16.1.4\Users\bvz\Documents\scans\Durable of goods.

    Nothing helps.

    Thanks for any help or ideas!

    Hello

    First of all, make sure to install the latest firmware for the printer.

    SMBX (used by Lion sharing protocol) support added lately, and the device fails to access any forlder Lion shared with an older FW version:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02919168

    You have shared the folder durable goods received ?

    If so, I guess the correct path would be as follows:

    \\172.16.1.4\Durable goods received

    Please let me know of any changes,

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600: USB connected OfficeJet Pro 8600: scanning on a network: is it possible?

    Hello world.

    I have a 8600 OfficeJet Pro connected to a computer via the usb port. This computer is running Windows 7 Professional and is connected to an ethernet network.

    The printer is shared with other computers (currently running either Win & and XP Pro) connected to the network can view and print to the printer without problem. However, there is no option for network computers to scan from the 8600. This option is available on the computer that is connected to the printer via the USB port.

    Network scanning is possible even if, in this configuraiton or if the printer must be connected to the network via ethernet or Wi - Fi to take advantage of this feature?

    Thank you.

    It is better to simply connect a network cable from the printer or turn on wireless (so both as a printer usb to the computer and the printer to network for the rest).

    You are able to print a self - test page, or print a document - you get the same black line when printing.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus connection problem - HELP!

    I have a strange problem: after a few hours, the communication link fell between the computer and the printer.  In this case, IE becomes unusable and not connect what either.  It is replicated on three XP Home machines.   The fourth, a vista ultimate machine, doesn't seem to be affected (yet).  I get the error "the computer scan is disabled.  It cannot be reactivated.  At this stage I can't print.  I can reach the web server embedded on the printer via firefox and can still surf using firefox.  I can ping the printer, but again, once the connection is dropped, no printing or scanning the computer.  The only thing I found that solves this problem (temporarily) is to restart the computer, which starts the cycle again.

    last night, I installed the software on a XP machine and the laptop to test when the connection has been lost.  They lasted from 19:00 on Monday until what I came at 17:00 Tuesday.  The machines were not used.  Once I started using (firefox only), and then they abandoned the connection in a half hour apart around 19:00.  The other XP machine lasted from 19:00 until 07:00 TUE MON, when my wife started to use it and then noticed he fell somewhere between 7 and 09:00 on Tuesday.  A 11:00 TUE restart ran OK until 22:00 Tuesday when the connection has been broken again (and IE is now dead).   The Vista machine works since 19:00 Monday (930 pm TUE) so far and seems to hold.

    printer cable, at 100-a lot of router link speed, IP address static, (also tried 10-half)

    router dlink di-655

    two XP machines are wired, vista is wired and last xp machine is a laptop on the wireless.

    I exchanged cables, rebooted and reinstalled several times.  I have a file a long mile on the telephone support line.  They couldn't remedy.  I asked this to escalate, but who knows when I will get an answer.

    I have enabled firewall - integrated XP

    I uninstalled the antivirus software

    I even put in place with support like crazy suggestions change the channel of the router (uh, it's wired!)

    an xp machine had a 4215 AIO connected via the USB port and the other prints to him via the network, but the printer was deleted machines on a network.

    I can ping 127.0.0.1, which is supposed to indicate that the tcp service is OK.

    I do not have reset winsock... I see a machine being bad, but three?

    malware / virus scan shows no problem.  Once again one perhaps, but three?

    The only thing I can think is that there is something in the network stack XP which is in conflict with the new software of 8600 hours pass.  There may be an operation of the poll which lights up then dies after a while, then he kills IE he is dying.

    When the printer works it's great, but the restart is not a permanent solution to this.

    any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!  I am confused and therefore support.  They send him to the genius, but who knows when they will answer.

    Thanks in advance.

    Our investigation into this issue, we found a workaround solution that will help with this.

    Follow the steps below.

    1. Please go to Hp software-> Printer Preferences - > Maintenance-> advanced settings tasks

    2 selects the second radio under 'Alerts Show', 'don't show me alerts ink when printing.

    3. now restart your PC to make sure that the setting is saved.

    HP Office jetPro 8600 NG11a, Windows 7 OS, connected to the network via an ethernet connection

    I've only had the printer for a few months. Initially, had problems with the network connection that has been resolved by manually inserting the IP address outside the DHCP range.

    I now keep getting a scanner mesagesaying is not available. I try and turn it back on, but it does not work

    I have run the analysis doctor and followed the instructions but it is unable to solve the problem.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled drivers and who does not.

    Here is mention of the IP address, but as I had all the problems before I am reluctant to interfere with the IP that the printer itself is OK.

    Nothing has been changed on my system, I have not actually used the scanner to date but notice all of a sudden the error message on my toolbar and then found that the scanner will not work.

    I would be grateful for any help.

    Much thanks 2DX

    Thanks for responding.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8600-N911a: connectivity issue - used to work fine, now no connection most often

    Just noticed over the last few days.  Had installed Kaspersky Internet Essensials for Mac 2016 on my iMac, a week or two and thought that may be the cause of the problem.  So I disabled Kaspersky for several hours and it made no difference where the connection to the printer.  Interesting thing is that the printer shows every evidence of being connected: Wireless indicator is turned on, run the connectivity test and it passed with flying colors.  But when I get to the top of the State of the printer Mac preferences (what etc.), it is said generally 'non connected' if I turn the printer power off and on again, then use the HP printer utility, it will be good for a short period and then loses connectivity again.  Also, when I hit the "Print" button to print something from my imac, the task appears in Quebec, but when I do the same thing of Chromebook my wife, it is not even to get to the what.  Am using Safari as the default browser, a WiFi with Hello.  Help!

    Bob.m

    Many, Gemini02, thanks for your help.  Reason why I did not respond earlier was simply that it took quite some time to go through all the troubleshooting steps that you suggested.  Went through all the 1 section without success, although this point begins to think that the problem might not be with the printer, ther as much as possible on my Mac, HP, or Apple printing software - wasn't sure which.  Because the indications of the printer: indicator wireless, various reports of network printer, etc., all indicated that the printer is connected, all the indicators 'pass' or excellent.  At this point, however, I could not add the 8600 to my printer list, not he would give me a list of printers to select from.  It only showed my old 1012 Laserjet HP connected by USB.

    Then I went to your next suggestion (printer does not keep the wireless connection). Went to french the first four steps.  Now, has been able to find the 8600 on the case of the printer-Scanner and reinstall the printer.  Everything seems to be good now; He has been correct riunning for more than 3 hours.  I assume that if the problem comes back, either, I do step 4 all over again, or I do step 5?

    Another somewhat related question that you may or may not be able to respond to the.  In other words, when I print anything Google drive (docs, sheets, etc.) or other Google sites - when I go to print everything just goes to a washed out gray and I cannot print at all.  Instead, I download my file in pdf format and print from an excerpt.  Drizzle this to say that my Google Print needs to be put in place again.  Have not had the chance to follow still on it.

    Again, thanks for you help!

    If that didn't help then share what router you're using, please indicate brand and model? I'll offer to make sure that your router is updated with the most recent firmware, also I personally always use Google's DNS servers. Some servers DNS provided by your ISP (Internet service Provider)

    You can change this setting by going to do the following:

    Press the Win key on your keyboard.

    1. Type Ncpa.cpl (this will take you to the network connections)
    2. Select your wireless connection
    3. You will see a screen on the botton, you will see a button called properties, near the left button
    4. On the Properties menu go to IpV4 (if you don't see scroll down) double-click to open
    5. In this screen, you will see (get IP address automatically) slot that you wil see the Obtain DNS server address automatically select this option
    6. Type 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 airfield

    I will also choose a static IP address, and this can be done here as well.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 and OS Mavericks

    Every since the loading of the Mavericks on my Mac, I can't scan life airprint.  I can print, but he fails to make an analysis of the preview when I ask for a scan.  I removed the old drivers and reloaded your new drivers approved by Maverick, but no luck.

    Hello

    An options that you can try is to reset the printing on Mac system. What can happen, is that the printing system is held previous printers. Note that if you do reset the printing system, it will remove all printers listed. You can add printers back by clicking on the sign plus (+) sign in the lower left corner. I've included the document 'OS X Mavericks: reset the printing system'.

    When you try to scan with the HP scanning software installed, you get the error messages? I've included the document 'how Scan: OS X v10.9'.

    Please let me know if you still get the same error message when you try to scan from the preferences system ("Printers & Scanners), preview and Capture of Image.

    Thank you.
