  • OfficeJet Pro 8620: Officejet pro 8620 will not be printed by RDP

    We have a new OfficeJet 8620 Pro that we have just set up in a remote office. The user connects via rdp and vpn to another office in our network. When we connect it cannot print. I installed the drivers on the local destination computer. The printer prints from two computers as well.

  • New Officejet Pro 8620 slow to start printing

    When printing from a laptop Win 8.1 and a Win 7 laptop, the printer is not printing for a whole 60 seconds after clicking on the button print.  Then it prints the page but keeps it for another minute before he spits.  A third Tablet 8.1 winning is also on my net wireless isn't the problem.  It printed immediately.  The first two laptops have been installed since the HP CD supplied with the printer.  The third, a tablet of 8.1 Win, has been installed since the network as it is not a CD player.

    I ran the HP printer Scanner doctor and it has been successful to uninstall the printer from the laptop 8.1 first, but I found it easily again in the add a printer in the printer control panel.  I also disabled the firewall McAfee, but that did not help (Yes, I turned it back).  In the Properties window, I checked for the latest version of the driver, I am OK there.

    The printer is on my WiFi network.  The icon of spooling print if displayed in the notifications area of the taskbar as soon as I click the button print.  I tried MS Office, Adobe Photoshop and Firefox.  All have the same time frame.

    If I told it to print two copies, he waits a minute, prints the first page and then the second, but holds on the second page for one more minute, as was he drying of the ink or something.  I timed it delays with a stopwatch, it takes really two minutes to print a page, or a page with a single word on this matter.  Share mode is turned off.

    Printing a test page for the printer properties pane takes also two minutes to complete.  I'm out of ideas so any suggestions will be appreciated.  What is a Windows network or printing problem?

    Hi Jamie,

    Thank you for your response. Understand that your printer is on wifi and all laptops are connected via the wireless.

    2. Connect the supply directly to a wall outlet cable.
    3. Reconnect the power cable and turn on the power.
    4. Print a self-test by following steps below.

  • OfficeJet pro 8620: how to connect my laptop directly to my officejet pro 8620

    Hello

    I appreciate what may be a simple question so apologies in advance!   I've been printing for a while but now need to print directly from my laptop without using the wireless connection wireless.   Please can you advise how to do this?  I tried to plug in an ethernet cable but it doesn't seem to work, and although I tried to look online guides, that I can't find an answer that works in EEM.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Thank you for using the HP Forums.

    You can use a USB cable to connect directly to your printer.  (do not connect the USB cable first! Read more on how to add a new printer (connection))

    You will need to install the software to add the extra connection.

    Assuming that you have installed the FULL features software, follow these steps to add the USB connection:

    1. click on start. Programs > HP > HP Officejet Pro 8620 > click on the printer

    (you can also click the icon of the printer on the desktop)

    2. This will bring up the HP printer Assistant

    3. go to "Tools" > Device Setup & Software

    ("Note: this is not available in step 1: Device Setup and software")

    4. connect a new printer.

    5. DO NOT connect the USB cable until you are prompted to do so by the software!

    Once installed, the USB should be the default printer.  If you want to print using the wireless again, you will need to select the correct printer with wireless as a result.

    Hope that helps!

  • New OfficeJet Pro 8620 does not print PDF files

    I have a brand new 8620 and I use Windows 7. My printer prints a few PDFs but not most other PDF documents. I am using Acrobat Reader XI. The printer will print from MS Office.

    HELP, please!

    Hello! Welcome to the @lmel forums

    I have a few ideas that come to mind, I read the issue you're having with printing of PDF files. They are here!

    1. try to resave the PDF files that do not print and then try printing again.

    2. update of Adobe:

    Select help - search for updates. If a new update is available, it installs automatically.
    Once installed, you can restart a computer.
    Then try to print the PDF file.

    http://helpx.Adobe.com/Acrobat/KB/troubleshoot-PDF-printing-Acrobat-Reader.html

    3. run the print and scan the doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for all conflicts that may be causing the problem. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there is a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results.

    4. uninstalling the printer software

    Restart the PC

    Reinstall the printer: HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-all-in-One Printer series full feature software and drivers

    That should do the trick! Keep me abreast of the results!

  • OfficeJet pro 8620 e: Printer Control Progra

    When I first installed this printer about 2 months ago I had a program on my computer that all I had to do was click on scan, difficulty settings, and then select scan and it should scan.  Somehow, I don't have this option anymore.  I want to be able to sit at my desk and control the scan from there.  What should I do?

    Hello @Doris422!

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    I would be more then happy to help you with regard to the analysis of the computer.  The program you are talking about seems much analysis of the HP.  The first thing I recommend is to search the Windows 8 for HP Scan computer.  The best way to do this is to open your Start Menu and start typing the HP scanning.  The computer will automatically find it and it should appear as the first option.  Open it and see if you can start a new search.

    If this does not happen and HP Scan is not the case in sight so I recommend you to uninstall the HP software. Once the uninstall is complete, it would be wise to perform a cleanup of the computer disk. A disk cleanup will improve the performance of the computer and remove the temporary files that may cause problems during the installation of the software. Once disk cleanup you must restart the computer and reinstall the HP software.  The software that you re - install will include scanning HP.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8620: Selection easy printing on tray 1 or 2

    We have an Officejet Pro 8620 with extra paper tray. Tray 1 for Virgin paper, tray 2 for the paper with the logo of the company.

    Now, when we want to print to tray 2, we reject Tray 1, whereas, after a few attempts the software switches to tray 2 and printing begins.

    It is possible, before printing, to change the setting in the software, select printing for tray 2. But it's pretty heavy.

    We want an easy way to select printing for Tray 1 or the tiroir2. For example, as seen in other environments, so that we can choose to print on:

    -HP Officejet Pro 8620 (Tray 1) or

    -HP Officejet Pro 8620 (tray 2)

    This could be seen as a separate printers. How can we achieve this?

    Change the setting every time, is not a good option. In addition, we have other software that we want to configure so that they automatically print to the correct bin.

    Thank you!
