HP Officejet Pro 8600 software / printer on Windows 8

We just bought a new printer - HP Officejet Pro 8600.  We have 2 computers I want it to connect to eventually.  1 is a cable in the office (Asus) with Windows 8 & the 2nd. is a laptop (HP) with Windows 7 (two new computers within the past year).  I tried to boot with the Windows 8 a.  It seems I have to buy an 'ethernet' cable to start with - it says to plug into the wall - this does mean in our router?  The printer has all the details how to take the packing off the printer tape but the minimum for 2 types of cables.  2 problem is the software is not compatible with Windows 8.  I guess it's doable, but can someone tell me details on how to go about it.  I've seen some of this forum for Windows 8? RT the instructions would be the same?  On this computer, I'm stuck without 'ethernet' cable (comes with a USB cable - what is - this for?) & the fact that Windows 8 do not accept software.  It seems that if I go not for a good start but probably assume that everything is possible at some point?

Our old printer is a cannon that has the "almost complete used ink absorber.  I plan on using that one with the laptop until it is completely 'dead' then would also like to work with our new 8600 printer.  I thought that it would probably be best not to hang it up until I have the old party?  What is the best idea or not?

I'm not too computer 'savay' but my understanding is I would need to have a "cable in" via an ethernet cable and the other would be "wireless".  It gave me the idea that the printer can be anywhere in our House, but assumed it would be partly true since the ethernet cable should be near our router?  Is this a correct assumption?

Any help appreciated.  Thank you.

Hi SueSSue,

If the printer is connected Ethernet you will not have to worry about getting a weak signal and possible connectivity issues, but with wireless, you are not bound to the office with the laptop. The option should be good in your case. If the printer is already at work, you can leave it connected to the way you have it. Let me know if you need help.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8600, HP printer wizard installs not when the software is installed from the CD

    HP Officejet Pro 8600 e printer all in one

    Windows 7

    I had Assistant printer installed and working on my computer at least a year, then there was an update and it no longer works.

    I uninstalled the device and the software and reinstalled both on-site and directly from the CD without success.

    The only error I get is when I start everything first install it and there is a red "x" next to the update of windows.

    The installation process ends, the computer will recognize the printer and I am able to print but I have no control any function because none of these options in the wizard for the printer are turned on.  They are all grayed out.   The most important thing I need is the archiving of received faxes.

    Someone else in my family had the same problem, but was able to reinstall from the Web site and doesn't have any more problems.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hi liluno18,

    I want to help you with this question. I send you this link to the Microsoft forum on how to fix the red X on windows update. Follow the response from Joseph M.

    So I suggest you do a complete uninstall software of the JO 8600 and reinstalling the software once you have windows update works again.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 more print but not scan

    I have an Officejet Pro 8600 and I use Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) and it print and copy but will not scan. I had a hell of a time trying to get this thing to scan - I even spent an hour and a half with HP technical support and they could not fix it and finally gave up and call me Micro$ oft said that it must be a windows problem (Windows is up to date, incidentally).

    I tried to open the scanner software and nothing happens when I click the icon - the loading icon flashes for a second, then only the mouse pointer. Nothing happens if I try to boot from all programs. Nothing happens if I try to scan to the computer of the other printer told me the failure of sweeping and that there could be reasons of severalpossible (unrelated, software used, etc.).

    I have installed and uninstalled. A couple of times he was having trouble with the installation, but finally got it connected. Once it would not uninstall in Control Panel until I did it directly from the HP folder. I connected it by USB and wireless. I installed the version of bloatware. I cleaned that out and I tried the only version of drivers. The HP support person had me go and removed a bunch of stuff in the registry. I tried to run as an administrator. Nothing works. I even tried to scan using Windows Fax and scan. I disabled Kaspersky and made sure that my firewall is turned off.

    I am at my wits end with this and certainly regret my purchase at the moment. Help!

    Hello, it happens to the analysis of Windows (WIA) and generates an error:

    "The Windows Imaging service does not work... If the problem persists, you will not be able to scan using the applications that use this service, such as Microsoft Paint. Scanning software HP could still work. »

    It asked me to restart, and then re-run the diagnostic tests, but I got the same result.

    Then, I jumped to HP Scanner Twain and got another error:

    "The Twain component is not working properly because the product is used by another process. Save your work and close all applications. Turn the product off, turn it on again, and then click on restart and repeat the test. »

    He told me then the problem persists to uninstall the software, then reinstall the Full Feature software (I did, but available).

    * EDIT

    Problem solved!  After you had me run the diagnostic tool I googled the WIA problem and found that many other people had the same problem. A person has a response from Micro$ oft saying that it was a Windows 7 issue and how to fix it - this is the text I found:

    To start the WIA service, you need start all services of dependence. To start the dependency services, please follow the steps mentioned below:

    -> > click on start-> type "services.msc" and press ENTER, once you get up the services window, please do the rest steps.

    -> > first check and write down all the dependency services: -

    -> > right WIA-> properties-> tab dependence, check the services of name listed there.

    It must contain the following services:

    * RPC remote Procedure Call

    -> > DCOM Server process Launcher

    -> > RPC end point mapper

    * Detection material core

    Make sure that all of the above services are started in the services list.

    Last time, we started the Detection hardware Kernel, which solves our problem.

    (Andy, it's important.  Choose "Detection hardware Kernel ' and start this service which should start your 'Windows Imaging Acquisition '.  If it does not then select WIA and change the departure to "automatic".  This fixed my problems) after all dependency services start, please try to start, WIA service to solve the problem of .                                                                                                                                                                                       

    (For those who are doubtful with computers, like me, when you click on the start icon, you can type services.msc in the box of research programs or click on run and type it in there). Once inside the list of services, you can look at the dependencies by right-clicking on the Windows Image acquisition service and selecting Properties. Take note of these dependencies. Then back to the main list and watch to see if these dependencies are started. My Shell Hardware Detection says disabled, so I right click on it; However, starting selection is grayed out and I couldn't select it from the drop-down list box, so Startup type I selected Automatic, apply, close the Services window and then started my Scan software and presto, it worked.

    Thanks for setting me on the right track!


  • How can I set up my new Officejet Pro 8600 more printing on paper photo 4 x 6?

    How can I set up my new Officejet Pro 8600 more printing on paper photo 4 x 6?  I'm running on Windows 7 64 bit.

    It's strange.  Looks like you have a second paper tray and put it to the default tray.  The second paper tray only supports the types of paper that show on your list.  It's strange because unless you have purchased a second tray paper, plus model has one.  Does only the high-end model.  Other than that, only certain types of media can be duplex, so if you have double-sided printing, it can limit the selection.  I'll watch what else could be the cause and get back to you.

  • My HP Officejet Pro 8600 cannot print from my MacBook Air

    Hello

    My HP Officejet Pro 8600 cannot print from my MacBook Air. It keeps on showing "the printer is not connected", but the display on the printer connected. I often reset the printer "EVERY TIME" I want to use. I also tried to turn off my laptop and printer several times before printing. If I'm lucky, it will work maybe for one or two prints. If no luck then I have to reset everything again. Sometimes I reset the printer, the printer is not displayed on my selection.

    Hello boojoo1tw,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you are unable to print most of the time with your Officejet 8600. How is the printer connected? USB or wireless? What is your operating system on your Mac computer? Click here to find out.

  • OCR for Officejet Pro 8600 8.1 on windows software

    I have an Officejet Pro 8600 that I installed on two computers. When I installed the HP software for this printer on my PC Windows 7 it included I.R.I.S OCR software. When I installed the software on my PC for Windows 8.1, there not. I went on a HP download site and downloaded the I.R.I.S. app but when I installed it I got a message that "you don't have this software update. I suspect that the 8.1 Windows is not supported. Is it? Are there any plans to support? The Officejet Pro Solutions and features Guide says it supports ReadIris. Is this correct?

    Hello WilliamsburgVAand welcome to the Forums of HP, I hope you enjoy your experience!

    I see that you run in the OCR issues.  I'd like to help!

    He may have had a problem with the initial installation. I would recommend uninstalling the software of the printer.

    I would then reinstall using the HP printer install wizard for Windows.

    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600: HP Officejet Pro 8600 not printing pictures

    With the kind cooperation of RnRMusicman and other knowledgeable people here, I could solve virtually all the problems I had Windows 10 to my HP Officejet Pro 8600, work flawless long since I bought it and while I was using the Professional Windows 7 operating system.  I was able to solve the problems of scanning and printing.  I should say that I can NOW print letters, notes, etc. I wrote on WordperfectX6, scanning photos, documents, etc. without any problems.  However, today, I tried to print photos of two 2 'My images' files and everything seemed to go OK, I got the display window to ask me how many, what size, photos etc I wanted to print and I clicked on print, then got another window showing the progress, but there was absolutely no response from my HP Officejet Pro 8600.  I tried to unplug and plug in again, restart, using the HPPSdr.exe and telling me everything is beautiful - but of course, this isn't.  When I tried to choose in the menu to go online to more possible solutions, I still said that I am not connected to the internet.  I hope I'm not overstaying my welcome to these forums.  It is a serious problem, I want to overcome since I have to print photos from time to time for projects.  Thanks in advance to you all and know that I am very grateful for past assistance which has solved MOST of the problems.  This one I didn't know until I tried to print photographs, lol.  As I said the OTHER impression, as WordperfectX6 is absolutely no problem only photographs.  Even looking at the "see what's printing" I do not see the ORDERS that I sent to the printer.  It is completely empty.  Thanks again.

    First of all, I do not deserve the title of "Guardian", lol.  I had adjustments and is raging after the upgrade to Windows 10 trying to do my job of Hewlett-Packard Officejet Pro 8600 (blah, blah blah).  I tried all kinds of recommended patches and nothing has been done, or he helped briefly and then the problem resurface.

    Feeling totally beaten yesterday, 2 November 2015, I deleted every single file from HP, fix, program, diagnostic tool ALL.  Then I unplugged the printer from your telephone line and plug its USB connection to the computer.  It was 19:00, 2 November 2015.   I then dug around and found the original set of the instructions that came with the printer when I bought it on amazon about two years ago.   Left on my desk, resolved to do battle with these unbeatable hi-tech "monsters" overnight.

    This morning, November 3, 2014, at 6:30, to feel refreshed and ready for battle, I discovered by accident that my DSL provider, century link, had a firewall (in addition to one already, I have in my software) so I advanced and off to see if that would help.   I just reconnected it on the printer, BUT this time I have not re - download HP software.  AND HERE, my Officejet Pro 8600 works again!  I can print from WordPerfectX6, I can print some photographs-YAY!   The only thing I'm still not able to solve must be able to print the pages of the internet.  For example, I tried to print a page of amazon.com and when I went to 'print' I was delivered to a Fax template.  This happened also when I clicked on "Print preview" - but I can live with THAT.  So, I walk away from the battlefield until I totally lose my sanity and tell me "that's close enough," lol

    Another by-product happy to remove the firewall of the century-link, which I didn't even know existed, it's NOW, I was able to receive updates from Dell, which had previously been cancelled/blocked, ostensibly by this firewall 'stealth' of my DSL provider which I didn't even know existed.

    Thank you!  To you all, who tried to help and who actually HELPED thanks to your suggestions.   Who would have thought that do not try to download HP ALL and eliminating a firewall that I didn't even not existing would solve 99% of the problems.  Thank you, Hewlett-Packard to also operate these forums!   They are EXTREMELY USEFUL!

  • OfficeJet pro 8600: Officejet Pro 8600 Connect USB on Windows 10

    I've recently updated Windows 8.1 to Windows Pro 10. I lost connection to my Officejet Pro 8600. When I try to reinstall using the HP CD, the system does not recognize the USB cable is connected. The cable I use (which came with the printer) is not under any stress, so I don't think the USB cable is defective. How can I fix? Thank you!

    Hi @ThreeofSeven,

    Welcome to the HP forum.

    I understand that you have recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 to Windows Pro 10 and when you try to install using the installation disk supplied with the printer is not recognizing the USB cable. I want to help you with that.

    I would like to start by uninstalling all HP Officejet Pro 8600 previously installed software and drivers.

    1. If your printer is connected to the computer with a USB cable, disconnect the cable from the printer.

    2 Windows search to uninstall a program, and then click the control panel to uninstall a program in the list of results.

    3. in the list of installed programs, click the name of your HP printer, and then click Uninstall or Yes to confirm uninstallation.

    4. follow the on-screen instructions to complete the uninstallation of software.

    5 restart the computer.

    Then, use the HP printer installation wizard to install the latest version of the software and drivers for your printer. Note: wait until you are prompted to connect the USB cable.

    Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance.

    In fact, if it helps you to find a solution, please click on the 'accept as Solution' and the 'thumbs up' buttons down below in this message.

    Thank you!

  • HP officejet pro 8600 - cannot print from my macbook pro

    We just bought a new HP officejet pro 8600 but for some reason, we cannot get my macbook pro to print on it. My mac says it is connected to it. It is listed in the printer only and all the settings look fine, but when I send a document to the printer, it will not be printed. He did print the first day we had (a week ago) but it stopped and we cannot figure out what to do. My daughter's PC will be printed, as well as the pc of my husband. It is the first time that I had problems printing to a hp from my mac. Any thoughts?

    I had my Officejet Pro 8600 about six months.  Recently, I had the same problem.  It continues to print from my Windows computers but not the Mac.   Labour goes into the impression that it is place on a wedge.  I tried many fixes, including the removal of the printer and reinstall.  Usually removing and reinstalling it will fix for a while, but now, even that does not work.  In my view, that the permanent solution is to buy another printer.

  • HP officejet pro 8600 more printing envelopes chemistry

    The normal printing process seems to work perfectly, only when printing envelopes #10 they live I have the problem with the crooked not printing any way how the envelope is inserted according to the Setup (Microsoft Word).

    To date, the following steps were taken:

    1. the version of the firmware is up to date: CLP1CN1322CR

    2. all the rollers are clean and act freely, no paper jams/particles anywhere - front or rear.

    3. the envelope seems to come out all right (looking directly at the front that it falls on the paper tray.

    4. different types of envelopes #10 were tried.

    The twisted print template is not consistent, sometimes it low angles differently and sometimes the implementation of the address of the sender and the recipient are different.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    PROBLEM SOLVED

    The result is: READ THE MANUAL

    I had been assuming (incorrectly) OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus would print the same as my previous HP OfficeJet Pro L7680 envelopes.  This model allowed me to print envelopes by putting on paper envelopes, I already had in the tray, put the envelopes on the side right side down.  He had always worked before with no problem and the envelopes printed correctly, even if you could use the status bar and adjusted the sides to accept the correct envelope size (never tried).

    On the 8600 model, you MUST remove any paper in the tray and load the envelopes in the Center, adjusting the sides to the size of the envelope.  In ADDITION, you must insert the face or envelopes down with the edge of the flap that is pointing to the right, a bit like the graphics on the bottom of the stage show.

    IF YOU USE MS WORD TO PRINT ENVELOPES AND LABELS, IT MAY BE CONFUSING BECAUSE IT SHOWS 6 POWER AVAILABLE, IF YOU CHOOSE THE ((QUATRIÈME DE LA DROITE) METHODS, IT SHOWS THE ENVELOPE IN THE MIDDLE AND THE EDGE OF THE FLAP FACING RIGHT, THIS CAUSES THE IMPRESSION OF BEING UPSIDE DOWN ON THE ENVELOPE.)

    That's what you should first read the User Guide (manual) for for the 8600 printer printing envelopes:

    Print on envelopes (for Windows, p. 39)

    Load Media (p. 24)

    Load the envelopes (p. 25)

    My frustrations have completed cockpit error.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 black printing/copying has vertical lines on the page. The color is fine.

    HP Officejet Pro 8600.  at 2 weeks.

    Windows XP

    Color copies/prints are very good.  Black prints/copies have vertical lines widths, ranging from top to bottom.  This occurs when it is copied to form glass or through the feeder.

    Suggestions?

    If the unit is producing lines in copies, so I suggest checking a few things. Make sure that the printer is plugged into a wall outlet directly and not in a surge protector. Additionally, make sure that the glass of the scanner (including the small strip on the left) are clean.
