HP Officejet Pro 8600: Recently a fax pops up when I try to print photos and the picture does not print

We have a printer all-in-one HP Officejet Pro 8600 operating from a desktop HP with Windows 7. Recently, in the last two weeks my wife told me, we cannot print photos. The documents appear to be printed without a problem, but when trying to print a photo we get a window titled 'Send Fax - HP Officejet Pro 8600'. We have never used or even hung fax capablitly since we have owned this printer (maybe 2-3 years). All of a sudden, this window is displayed when we try to print a photo and the photo does not print.  I can't tell you that my wife did not hit accidentally a wrong button somewhere down the line, but she says she does not. I tried to attach a screenshot of the window, but for some reason that it does not take it. It's probably something very simple, but technically challenged myself, I can't understand. Help, please.

Thank you

Vince Pellerito

Print picture of what program?  Some programs to keep their own default values for the printer.  It seems that the default printer for the printing of the photo program has been set to Fax.  Try to open the program, select the Officejet Pro 8600 as the printer rather than the Officejet Pro 8600 fax.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8610: HP settlement 8610 requires Attention, when you try to print 4 x 6 photos

    Good,

    After reading so many others and worth that they have with this issue, I submit to you that this could be a serious problem.

    I have an impression of this printer using any software problem, if I try to select the paper size of 4 x 6 or the "Photo paper" options in the printer settings.

    The best part is the error message I receive Windows 8.1. It is said that the printer "to monitor". There is no pop up n the printer as a mistake and nothing in the screen "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Devices and Printers\HP Officejet Pro 8610 (network)" on an error.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. And do not pull the shit 'check the paper tray' here... I checked about 12 hours of your support help documents and I'm tired of seeing this document as the solution to the problem. This is not it.

    Also, I don't want to hear, which does not support the format of paper. The software driver has several options of stock of photo paper and several sizes...

    What's next? That's what I want to know... What's next?

    Alrighty then...

    I don't know what I did differently, but it seems to be the impression this morning. Totally weird, but happy that he woke up!

    Thanks to all who have offered solutions...

Otherwise, I don't know what to do.

    Hi @JonnyHman

    In my view, that it is a spooler error. Please, perform the following steps and let me know if that solves the problem;

    Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the Run dialog box

    • Type services.msc and press enter
    • Locate the print spooler and double-click it to open the spooler properties
    • Make sure you that Startup type is set to automatic, if not please click the menu down and select automatic
    • Under Service status, please stop the server, wait a moment, and then click Start

    If the problem persists, please run printing HP and Scan Doctor; Click here to download and run the print and Scan Doctor > www.hp.com/go/tools.

  • Fax window appears when I try to print photos

    Printer: C410a, running Windows 7.

    Been trying for weeks to fix this very frustrating. Printer works fine for normal printing. Problem when you try to print photos, whether they come from photo file or memory card. I get the photo all together to the top, but when I hit the key "printing" on the screen of the fax arrives. I've never used the fax and is not connected to a phone. Have tried everything I can think of, including the uninstall of the printer and put it back, using the installation cd. I'd appreciate any ideas on how to correct the problem.

    Hi reljzyHarperJ,

    When the printer is installed, a standard printer and a fax printer are both installed.  In many programs, there is a quick print button and a standard print button.  If you use the standard print button, a print dialog box opens and you can choose the printer.  If you use the Quick Print button, the dialog box does not usually and you do not have a choice of printers.

    Take a look at the print dialog box and open the printer options so you can see the printers installed on your computer.  Don't forget to use the printer which doesn't have a 'Fax' in the title.

    Here is a link to the reference and Guide for help on changing the settings.  Click here

    My macbook is on 10.11.5 (15F34).

    I also tried to disable the bluetooth and turn back on for both devices.

    My airdrop is already set to "everyone".

    Sometimes, it is not even discover my mac on my iphone even if I discover my iphone on my mac. When I try to pair, this is for me the pair prompt on my iphone and I click and it goes to 'Connected' and then back to "not connected".

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 cannot receive fax

    I just got a Comcast phone line and I can send faxes but not receive.  Do I need a digital analog converter box?  How can I fix it?

    I'm sorry you have a problem with your fax. You may need to get a converter. Faxing with digital is not always guaranteed. It's so of transmitters and digital communication and that it is unable to send or receive.

    Here is a link you can follow, which can help you with this problem.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02891758

    You can also run the fax test and verify the results.

    Check your connections.

    1. LINE 1 on the printer goes directly to the wall jack or LINE 1 of the modem (if you have package, cable, internet and telephone).

    2 LINE 2 on the printer go to the phone.

    Let me know if these steps help you.
