HP Officejet Pro 8600 scans to the computer windows 7

I am using Windows 7 on my desktop at home for the first time (since a few weeks ago). I got this HP Officejet Pro 8600 for at least a year now, and it was easy scan documents using my Windows XP.

This morning, I scanned a document on the Windows 7 system, but tonight the icon ("HP Officejet Pro 8600") does not show the scan option. I am stunned. I need to scan more than a few documents and cannot find out how to access this feature. Help, please!

Hi delphine and welcome to the forums of HP!

I see you have a 8600 Officejet which seems to no longer provide the analysis option. I will certainly do my best so that he could share with you scanning capabilities

It's really weird that you get is no longer the option scan so I suggest that you run the HP print and Scan Doctor and see if it finds problems first. If she says that everything out very well we should be able to get an icon on your desktop HP Scan so that you can just open it directly.

To do this, click the start menu, click programs principally made, click the HP folder, click on the HP Officejet Pro 8600 folder and then right click on the HP Scan, select send to and Desktop. Then, you will see an icon on your desktop that says HP Scan and you don't have to go through the HP printer Assistant longer.

I would like to know how it goes for you!

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8600: Scan - disable the 'Save' button with MAC OS 'SIERRA '.

    Hello world

    I have an Officejet Pro 8600 installed in a Macbook pro.

    After having upgraded to Mac OS Sierra (10.12) 'Save' button in the HP scanning software is now disabled when the save screen appears. Save documents are possible using the 'Test' option in the menu "Preferences".

    It worked fine with the latest version of 'El Captain'.

    I've searched for scanning HP new version for Mac OS Sierra, but nothing.

    Someone has any idea how to solve this problem?

    TKS in advance.

    Hello
    The HP scanning application is not compatible with Sierra, so you may experience problems.
    Remove the HP scanning by moving it to the trash, then empty the trash.

    Instead install HP Easy Scan below, it will be installed in the Applications folder:
    http://FTP.HP.com/pub/softlib/software12/HP_Quick_Start/OSX/installations/Essentials/HP-easy-scan-1_7_0.pkg

    If you experience additional problems, ensure that the latest version of the software is installed by following HP Easy Start below:
    http://FTP.HP.com/pub/softlib/software12/HP_Quick_Start/OSX/applications/HP_Easy_Start.app.zip

    Finally, make sure that your drivers are up-to-date by clicking the Apple icon, select about this Mac and then press on software update.
    Click on the Bank on the menu bar, click Reload Page, click all update if an update is available.

    Hi @AnnisMonadjem,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you are unable to print to your printer HP Officejet Pro 8600. I'd be happy to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

    When you say 'LAN', are you referring to the network or you try to share the printer on the network?

    How is the printer connected? (Ethernet/WiFi)

    If you have noticed that the port is causing problems, please download and run the print and Scan doctor, it will be probably diagnose and fix the problem you are experiencing.

    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (she print or scan, error messages)

    HP has several Officejet Pro 8600 series.

    What is the name and the product number of your printer? How can I find my model number or product number?

    • Update the firmware of the printer.
    • Don't hide the SSID (network name).
    • What type of encryption are you helping? HP recommends WPA and WPA2.
    • You have a double router broadband? Make sure that the two groups were not the same network name.

    If the problem persists, you may encounter an IP address conflict. It's a good idea to assign the printer a static IP address outside your DHCP range. For example, some routers default DHCP is located between 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.200. So, I would use 192.168.0.232.

    To assign the static IP address, use the following steps as a guide.

    • Print a Page of Network Configuration menu of the printer front panel. Note the IP printer. IPV4 address
    • Type the IP address in the browser to bring up the SAP.
    • Choose the network tab, then wireless on the left side, and then select the IPv4 tab.
    • Select Manual IP.
    • Enter your IP address manual (192.168.0.232)
    • Enter 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask, except if it is different.
    • Enter the IP address of your router that sits on the Network Configuration Page) for the default gateway.
    • Please, click on manual DNS server. For the preferred DNS Server Manual please enter 8.8.8.8 and the Alternate DNS Server Manual, please enter 8.8.4.4.
    • Click on apply.
    • Restart the router, the printer and the computer.
    • Test printing and scanning.

    If the problem persists, download and run this patch rollup: resolving printing issues in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

    • Try printing and scanning.

    In addition, if you are still having problems try the steps in this guide, HP printers - "offline" Status Message printer (Windows 7).

    Continue on, if the problem persists.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 scans appear in white

    Hello

    My HP Officejet Pro 8600 scan correctly, either from the document feeder or the dish. The scans appear almost totally blank, although some weak contours are barely visible along the top. Two computers use the scanner (Mac OS X 10.6.8 and 10.7.5) and both have the same problem. Any suggestion would be great!

    Hi ABverr,

    A hard reset can solve this problem.  To do this, unplug the power cord at the back of the printer when the printer is still on.  Unplug the other end of the power cord.  After 60 seconds, plug it directly into a wall outlet, and then plug it into the back of the printer.  Try a scan.

    If this does not help, I linked a document with measures to correct the problems of quality of scanning.  Click here

    If the problems persist, you can download and run printing HP and doctor Scan.  Click here  Let me know the results.

    Good luck!

    Hello

    I recently bought a HP OfficeJet Pro 8600. Installation and configuration was successful. However, every minute or two, I get a notification of ball on the Windows task bar that says "Scan to computer do not enabled." I assume that this occurs because the printer is turned off after entering a sleep mode is not used for a specific period of time. I could be wrong about this, of course. But assuming that I'm not wrong, my question is how can I disable that irritating notifcation to appear every minute?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    1. open the control panel and write "Notification area icons" in the search:

    2. the Notification area options appears and select the option that says ""ScantoPCActivation " "

    3. Select the option that says 'Hide icon and notifications'.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 Scan crash

    I have problems with scanning with Officejet Pro 8600. The scanner works most of the time without any problem, but the same analysis (same settings, same computer to analyze, I haven't changed anything else the photo I'm scanning) sometimes breaks down. It can be planted two ways

    (1) ' preparing to digitize"never ends

    and

    (2) ' analysis now' never ends

    Preparing to scan is the kind of problem most friendly, that after several minutes, says "unable to connect to the computer" (absolutely nothing anywhere, the last scan seconds earlier ended the most perfectly), simply disable the Officejet Pro 8600 for awhile. The "scan now" is a bigger problem, since not even on the power button / reacts to anything and I tried to wait at least half an hour for the analysis at the end. I don't hear it mechanically would do anything (you know, when the scanner scans, there should be some 'noise'). The only thing I can do these days is to unplug the power cord, and one could imagine that shouldn't be so.

    So my questions are:

    (1) what should I try?

    (2) is a good problem and so, then are we talking about problems with hardware or software?

    The Officejet Pro 8600 is no longer new, I bought it in July 2013, but I remember he made at least since August. As he said, the fact that occasionally, but I'd say it's at least 5% of the time I try to scan.

    Ed. More information:

    Operating system: Windows 7 Pro SP1

    Connected wireless

    ScanDoctor try to analyse, and it gives an error "scanner is currently in use. Please wait until your previous task is completed and the scaning try again. »

    There is another scan option I use very often, which is to use a memory card, use the scan to memory card option. the printer has not yet need to be connected.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus: software the Printer Wizard does nothing and eats CPU

    Hello

    I currently have a problem with the HP printer Assistant software. I use a HP Officejet Pro 8600. Well I uninstalled and reinstalled several times, redownloaded the latest version of the software from the HP site, tried with a wireless connection and a USB connection, but still have this same problem.

    The problem is when I open the printer to the printer Assistant software (scan, definition of printing preferences, etc.) nothing loads and what I noticed is that in the Task Manager, the program is constantly, nonstop to duplicate in the Task Manager and eventually slow down the computer because of the high use of the processor of these duplicates. I can't stop these processes in time compared to the amount of tasks in doubles at this very moment, and the only way to stop it is to restart the computer. I had this problem with Windows 8.1 and so I've upgraded to Windows 10 but exactly the same problem occurs. If I wait long if I get an error (0xc0000142) telling me that I can not load the Printer Wizard, but the process will still duplicate.

    I tried using the printer with other computers, but they do not have a problem by launching the wizard from the printer. I wonder what is happening and why is the Printer Wizard launch multiple neverending himself as tasks on the Task Manager?

    Add to that, printing works fine, it is train to launch the Printing Assistant software that is causing the problem.

    Thank you

    Hello @dhzz,

    Thank you for your response.

    (1) the printer EWS must appear on the browser before moving on to the next step. Please make sure that the printer and the computer are connected to the same network. If the SAP is not displayed, it means that the printer and the computer are on different networks. Get IP address and enter in the address bar of the printer. The image below is an example for a printer EWS. Please note how the IP address is entered (marked inside the red rectangle).

    (2) the link I provided was a 'and' added in the end. So try the address without 'and': http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL40129/bi-108860-3/OJ8600_Basicx64_1315.exe

    Hi all
