HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in: extended image printing time

I work in a center of art and we always print pictures from the internet and stored images to use with our classes.  We have 2 8600 photograph printers and both extremely slow.  It may take up to 3-4 minutes to print a picture.  We also have a Dell PC that has no problem printing in a reasonable amount of time for the size of the image.

I tried affecting the project settings & directly connecting to the printer and have had no success in reducing printing time.  Someone had this problem?  My next step is going to be uninstall and start again if none of you have an alternative for me.

Thank you

Hey @MCM1,

Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

I understand that your two printers of HP e-all-in-one Officejet Pro 8600 printing slow computer Mac OS X 10.8. However, they print at a normal speed of your Windows System. I would like to help you today with this slow printing problem. Because printers print well to a Windows system, I don't believe that this problem is the printer hardware or connectivity related. I think rather than the print driver or incorrect is used on the Mac OS System X 10.8. Or, there may be a conflict occurring on the Mac printing system. Therefore, I will ask you to perform some standard Mac troubleshooting for this problem. Can I please you follow the steps below.

6. click Add to add the printer to the list.

Once the printers have been confirmed as using the correct printer driver, please test printing an image. If the slow printing problem continues to occur, proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Reset the printing system:

Please click herefor instructions on how to perform the reset. When the site opens, follow the steps under "Reset printing in OS X Lion system" that the steps are the same for Mac OS X 10.8. This Reset deletes each printer on your Mac. However, it does not uninstall printers. Therefore, if use you other printers on the Mac, once the reset is complete simply make sure printers are attached via a USB cable or connected network and (+) add hide them po do not return in your HP Officejets currently Add.

Once the reset is complete, proceed to the next step.

Step 3: Uninstall the drivers and software:

Please click here to find out how to properly uninstall your printer. Once the site opens, follow the steps in step 1 and step 2, depending on how you originally installed printers.

Once the uninstall is complete, please continue on.

  2. Go to the Utilities folder
  3. Open disk utility
  4. Select the hard disk volume, you use (usually on the left)
  5. Select verify disk permissions

    Windows 7; Wireless network; Today, I installed my new e-all-in-one Officejet Pro 8600 wireless printer. When finished, I was able to print, I have created e-print, and the scanner works, but did not find what was once called the "Solutions Center HP" that I could click on choose scanning, check the ink supply, get 'Help' and so on.  A HP 8600 printer icon installed on the desktop, but when I clicked it, it was just a bunch of meaningless jibberish, but had no function. I went to 'Start', then HP and was able to somehow make a "Scan icon" to open.  I don't have the ability to implement "WEBPRINT", nor REGISTER MY PRODUCT and so on. In other words, the installation has not finished. I tried putting the CD back in, but no additional options were available except to reconfigure them, etc.  Thank you for your help.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in: similar question: not able to 'change the Scan tasks '.

    I have a similar problem as "ccb531", released 23/07/2015 08:22. I am unable to "Change Scan tasks" with the HP utility software. It gives the dialog box box below I need to install "HP scanning software".

    I installed the driver (alone) which is available on the site of HP support for my printer (HP Officejet Pro 8600 - N911a) and my operating system OSX 10.11.1 (El Capitan).

    I also followed the procedure that has been described by the support team in the post of 'ccb531', published 23/07/2015 08:22. That is to reset the printing system,uninstall the drivers and software, (repair your disk permissions is not longer available on osx 10.11), install all updates Apple and reinstall your software and drivers. But with the same result.

    Have I missed any other driver that is not listed on the support site or is the HP Easy Start on 18 November 2015 2.1.0.66 driver not yet fully functional for El Capitan?

    Any help would be much appreciated since I can't change the scanning resolution when scanning my documents on computer from my printer document feeder if the documents are too large to be useful.

    Thank you.

    Hello

  • Connected HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus status reads "problem with printer."

    I could just ePrint on an OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus replacement and them have not used for printing yet. I was in the devices page to manage the settings and change an address for one of my devices. The newly added column 8600 State reads 'Online', but also 'problem with printer '. Instructions I was referring to the display panel of the unit for Outlook2003 on the given problem. A check of the display surface showed no information, just a typical home screen. I checked through the display print and found no problems-all functionality is enabled and fully functioning. I checked then the functions of printer in the window 'Printers and devices' of all computers (all running Windows 7 Professional) on the office network. The 8600 are active and full functionality works correctly between the printer and all the computers.

    I then close the printer 8600, left for several minutes, and then lit it back and reconnected. The State says 'Problem with printer' remains in the device window HP.

    I am at a loss as to what this supposed problem can be and don't know what should be a next step. Does anyone have any advice or information that could help in this situation? It would be appreciated. Thanks in advance to those who could help

    HP support responded to my question by e-mail. I was told that the message 'Problem with the printer' is due to a bug in their system. Also said that as long as the status column indicates the printer is "Online" and everything else is fnctioning correctly, don't worry about this.

    I consider that a resolution of the post!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 not giving orientation options when printing photos from the main tray

    Greetings, all.

    I searched this issue, but I have not found anything, so this is:

    I have an OfficeJet Pro 8600 911 and an iMac (21.5 inch, end 2013) running OS X 10.9.2 Mavericks.

    The problem comes when I try to print a photo 4 x 6 from the main drawer - in the print dialog box, the image is oriented the wrong way on the preview. No matter if I rotate the image or not, it does a perpendicular orientation. In the print dialog box, there is no orientation option to change from portrait to landscape or vice versa, even if

    I checked the software update of the Mac and the Pro 8600, but there is nothing available.

    I am pleased to learn that the Preview will allow you adjust orientation, at least, we know that this is possible. Apple is the one controlling the features such as that within the application. Click here: view contact information of apples. Apple Support Forums are also available here:

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus: can not get the printer to function after installing new wireless router

    I recently changed routers from D-Link to a Netgear R6400.  I could get my desk, the laptop and the i - Pad to connect to the new network, but not my HP Officejet Pro 8600 more.  When I try to change the IP address, which is what I think I do, the screen indicates "this feature has been locked by your system administrator or the one who put up the system."  I'm the only one using this printer and I put in place originally, but I do not remember 'locking' anything.  Will you please tell me how to solve this problem, so I can use the printer again.

    Hello

    Thank you for using the HP forum.

    A suggestion that we recommend is to uninstall and reinstall the software FULL of features.

    Alternatively, you can try the doctor print and Scan?

    Please download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor (PSDR) tool to diagnose and solve your problem

  • HP officejet Pro 8600 +: Missing page in the «HP Print for Chrome» software orientation option

    I can print OK in the format default portrait of a model of Toshiba Chromebook CB30-B-104 for a HP Officejet Pro 8600 + using "HP Print for Chrome" (installed from the app store for Google Chrome), but I can't find an option anywhere to change the page orientation. So if I print a document/image oriented in landscape format, it occupies only half a page of A4 portrait oriented superior. I tried to turn the image/document in the print dialog, but the rotation is ignored when printing is performed.

    Is this a "bug" or am I missing something?

    Updated February 10, 2016

    My original statement was misleading. I should have checked my facts more in detail.

    I cannot find an option called "Layout" to select "Wonderful landscape" or "Portrait" page orientation when you try to print the PDF files. When you try to print from other sources, the 'Layout' option seems OK.

    Hello @JBL11.

    Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support. I understand that you have a problem with the page orientation when printing with HP for Chrome print Chromebook. I would like to help,

    When I tried printing of Chrome app I had an orientation option. I pull a document and press Ctrl + P.

    Then I double checked that Print of Chrome was my printer destination. (I also use Google Cloud Print to the same printer).

    My options going to the bottom of the list are Destination, Pages, and page layout. Put in page gives me the ability to change from portrait to landscape.

    Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the application?

    1. Click on the list of apps icon in the launcher at the bottom of the screen.
    2. Find your application in the list and right-click (click with two fingers on a Chromebook) its icon.
    3. Select Delete chrome.

    Gives it a try and let me know how it works.

  • How to send a fax to several unique recipients on an Officejet Pro 8600 e-all-in-one?

    What is the best way to send the same fax to several unique recipients without having to send the fax manually to each recipient?  I use an Office Jet Pro 8600.  My previous HP (M2727MFP) allowed Ad Hoc manual fax but the same process does not work on the 8600.

    Any suggestions?

    If you have the software installed on your computer, you should have the 8600 Fax Driver installed. That will allow you to send to multiple recipients without having to print a physical page. Everything you have to do is the printer using the program on the fax driver, and it will appear a window asking for the numbers you want to send the fax to. The document linked below will on other ways that you can fax without using the software. I think that the Fax issue will be what you are looking for. The document will explain more. Hope that helps.

    Hello

    I don't know when / if there has been a change or we live just the strangeness even . I couldn't go to our 8600 using the same method as you who seems to think the habit of work. Our IE has been updated, so something could have changed there but it's the method I used that worked: in IE or simply explore (if you use windows 7 don't know if works for vista or below) type: \\ipadress\memory_card . It is possible that the IP address may have changed with the new printer. Do you have the ip address or make sure it is correct?

    I tried to download or use the correct software for the printer and can not seem to find.

    Printer works fine, too to scan.

    Possible software is not installed? or I'm doing something wrong.

    First time I tried this. Thought it would be easier.
