• OfficeJet pro 8620: Wireless officejet pro 8620 Bluetooth printing

  At work, I have a new HP officejet pro 8620 with wireless printing functions.  The office, with what I would use it is rather old and not compatible wireless outside the network working.  I bought a bluetooth device and installed on my desk, thinking I could get the printer to recognize this.  No go.  The printer (also installed on my desktop) recognizes the WiFi here but not the bluetooth on the desktop and is not on the same network as the desktop computer.

  The printer did not join the same network as the desktop computer.  The Office cannot access the network that can access the wireless printer.

  I thought (wrongly?) that the bluetooth device would work to create a network between these two singular.  Help?

  Is the printer close enough that you could connect with USB?  The 8620 Officejet Pro is not compatible Bluetooth.

• HP Officejet Pro 8620 does not print, but the document is sent to the printer without error

  I bought a HP Officejet Pro 8620 and connect 2 computers via a wireless connection with the latest driver.
  In the first computer (windows 7) I can print without any problem
  On the second one (windows 8), when I try to print, I can see in the windows printer spooler file that I'm going to print. The file is sent to the printer, without error, BUT nothing happens.
  I already tried reinstalling the drivers, restart the computer, the printer. I tried to connect to a wired network. It still does not. It's very weird but I got no error, just does not print. I thought that the printer does not work, but on the second computer I can print.
  Thank you for your advice

• HP OfficeJet Pro 8620: Impression of poor quality HP Officejet Pro 8620

  I had no problem printing until I went to the "HP Instant ink cartridges".  I complained and got a second set of cartridges.  But the new set has not improved the quality.

  I used to print messages from Gmail, and the text was a vivid black.  Now, it's a clear bluish gray.  Web page with text impressions smallish on them seems faded and are practically illegible.

  Virtually everything that looks like I'm stuck on the "Draft" mode

  Changed my default settings in "plain paper-best" and did all the other steps (align, cleaning print heads, etc.) with no improvement in quality.  I also downloaded once again print driver, rebooted, etc..  Paper is the same: copy paper multipurpose Boise X-9 (20 books, letter size, 92 bright).

  Help!  What should I do to get back to good quality prints?   Happy to send someone at HP 'before' (GMAIL messages) impressions printed in December, using standare HP cartridges and 'after' impressions (the same GMAIL messages now printed using HP Instant cartridges) if it would help to diagnose my problem.  Just give me a name and an address.

  MNY THANKS!

  Bad news and good news about the problem of print quality with my printer HP OfficeJet Pro 8620 Wireless all-in-One Color Inket-Scanner-copier:

  After working with two "technicians" on the chatline useful instant ink, I was opted for a printer HP imaging expert.

  We did some tests, and it was determined that I had a hardware problem.  Good news, finally understood the problem after more than a month of difficulty.

  Bad news: 8620 My was two months after the warranty.  (The printer has 14.5 months.  The warranty is 12 months).  Then, tough luck, no new printhead, ceertainly no machine replacement.

  In addition, the well-meaning test (involving a reboot) disabled the printer.  Now it doesn't work at all.

  I found myself ordering a 8620 HP remanufactured through HP imaging expert.  A bit of a discount ($100) on the price of a new machine, but more of what Amazon or Wal-Mart sells the new machine.

  Also - I bought an extended warranty ($19) to cover the machine for 3 years.

  Still not sure if the instant ink caused somehow my hardware problem. The 8620 was working perfectly until I changed the previous set of HP regular cartridges with instant ink cartridges (when the printer was 13 months, one month after the original warranty).   The printer had never been abused in some way and only moderately used.

  Now waiting for my new rebuilt the machine.  Can't print, copy or scan until it happens.

  Lesson: Always get the extended warranty.  You're out of luck if there is a problem any of the last 12 months.

• HP Officejet Pro 8620: HP Officejet Pro 8620 - problem with wireless connection w/computer

  Hi all

  I recently bought the HP Officejet Pro 8620 and I have problems connecting with my computer.

  I used the Setup Wizard to connect the printer to the wireless network of my University, and when it's over, the blue light of connectivity remains a solid blue and the screen says it is connected, which is great. However, when I use the HP Officejet Pro 8620/software of connection instillation, I always get the message,

  "-L' the entered IP address is either incorrect, or it is another wireless network that has the same name as your network." Please ensure that your printer has this IP or enter the correct address below and click on search. Also, confirm that you wireless network is unique. »

  I did somehow on the printer IP address is copied 100% exactly the same with the points and the message still appears and my printer is unable to connect with my computer. As another option, it says that I can use the host name to find the printer as well. However, the same thing happens. I'll type in the name of host by number and letter by letter, and again, it does not find my printer. In addition, there is only 1 network name so I know I hit the right one. Being a student, it is very important that I get things printed off the coast, it is essential for me to solve this problem. Also, I spent a lot of money on it so I need to work properly.

  It should be easy to communicate that it gives me all the necessary information right in front of me, but as I said, it was not easy or fun experience. I don't really know how IP work addresses but I tried to use all the only thing that I can find that is relevant. From now on, I have to record everything in PDF format on my computer, send me unwanted, printing documents download them on my Galaxy Note 4, connect my phone to the printer using the wireless HP Direct on the Officejet and then finally I can print my things. Yes, it works like this, but it is also a concern and I shouldn't do that. I realize that I can't buy a USB link cable to connect my printer to my computer but I don't want to ride the 2 every time I want to print.

  (Also something to note, since I'm on WiFi from the University, I don't have access to the router of course so I don't know if this is a contributing factor in why things do not work).

  If anyone has suggestions/advice/answers on the issue, please let me know. Thank you!

  Hello @Plz_Help.

  Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support. I understand that you have a problem connecting to your computer and your printer via Wifi from the University. I would like to help.

  The only thing that really POPs, is that you use the network of universities. This can cause a lot of problems.

  Question: When you connect your computer or Note 4 on the network, should a pop-up saying you accept the terms of service? If so, this would prevent an air of challenge the printer properly connected to the network.

  If you had access to the router I would recommend checking the network connection by typing the printers IP address in a web browser. If you can access the printers webserver shipped, then, the connection is fine. If you can't you need to reset the router. Of course, you can do this.

  Also, here's something to consider: If the printer successfully on the network, everyone else on the network will have access to your printer.

  A USB connection will be the most reliable and safe way to go. Another thing, why send your rating 4 print jobs? Why not save the PDF files and connect the computer to the wireless network direct printers? In this way, you can print from your computer.

  Sorry I can't give you a solution ' to do this and it will work. You must convince the universities IT department to get things related.

• OfficeJet Pro 8620: HP Officejet Pro wireless network

  The printer when turned on, will have an open network, HP-Print-20-Officejet Pro 8620, even with the wireless turned off and connected ethernet cable. Through the HP Wizard and you are looking to set up the wireless, cannot find anything, because the wireless is turned off and that the cable is connected. The only way to cut the transmission network is power off. It interferes with other devices and is very troublsome. How do I turn it off.

  Hello

  On the printer control panel, press the HP direct wireless icon () and off HP wireless Direct. to turn off the broadcast of the printer wireless.

• 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!

• OfficeJet pro 8620: iMac failing to connect

  Follow-up set upward on my mac pro computer laptop and everything of fine. It communicates as expected. I follow the same established procedure on my iMac, but it cannot connect.  The iMac is on the network, connects to another good printer, but not HP.  I rebooted the printer and iMac, but still no connection.  What should I do?

  Thank you

  Hello @PLC4265,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I understand that you are able to print one of your Mac to your HP Officejet Pro 8620 systems wireless e-all-in-one printer. However, your other iMac running Mac OS X 10.10 is not able to connect to your HP Officejet wireless. I would like to help you today with this problem of connectivity.

  Because we know that one of your systems works very well, I don't think that this problem is caused by a conflict of networking with the printer. On the contrary, it may a driver, security or networking with the iMac conflict. To isolate this problem and fix it, I'll make you check to see if your iMac and HP Officejet currently communicating on the network. Please follow the steps below.

  1. On the front panel of your Officejet tap installation (key)
  2. Select Network Configuration
  3. Select the wireless settings
  4. Select view wireless details
  5. Please take note of the SSID network name and IP address
  6. On your iMac, please check that your iMac is connected to the exact same name as your printer network SSID. Do not connect to networks of comments . Also avoid connecting them to 5 GHz connections. If you have a double router band it can broadcast the 5 GHz and 2 GHz. Printers are supported only through connections of 2 ghz . If you don't know how to check this, you may need to speak with your router manufacturer.
  7. Once you determine the SSID of your network is perfect, please open the internet browser on your iMac
  8. In the address bar of you please enter the IP address that brought you to the printer. Do not include the www.
  9. Search this site.
  10. A Web site for your printer should now open.
  • If a Web site for your printer does not open: This indicates that your printer and your computer do not communicate on the network.
  • If a Web site for your printer opens correctly: This indicates that your printer and your computer communicate on the network successfully. Don't you just iMac "sees" your printer when you run the installation program?

  Please reply to this message with the result of the opening of the site (browser EWS) printers using the printers IP address. I look forward to hear from you!

• Printer Officejet Pro 8620: officejet pro 8620 failure of the wireless card

  E-all-in-one printer Officejet Pro 8620 was strange for the past few weeks - the blue light would remain solid but nothing prints not the touch screen would not respond and it would be not closed when the power button was pressed.  Now, it has gotten worse - he sees not the wireless network (other devices work well) and prints a blank page to print the report.  I ran the printing and scanning Dr, but he did that tell me that the printer cannot detect the network.  I tried to reset to the default factory settings wireless, but it still does not detect the network.  I think that the wireless card is not (it is exactly one year and two weeks since I bought it).

  Is there a way to confirm my suspicions?  Is there anything else that might be causing these problems?  If so, how to replace the wireless card?  I worked with electronic equipment for years and I'm very comfortable, replacement of parts and components of computer devices.

  I did the factory reset and went through the installation procedure as directed.  The printer still can't find wireless network and print report still produces just a white sheet.

  I'll contact the HP Support

• OfficeJet Pro 8620: How can I activate the message "connect the printer to HP Instant ink status update?

  Initially, I signed up for the connected HP program but had to stop when I lost my internet connection. Wi - Fi still works. I replaced my ink cartridges instant with no instant ink with new HP ink cartridges suitable. The printer works, but before each print job I have to walk over to the printer of the touch screen and press the 'OK' button to remove a warning message that States: "connect to a printer to update HP Ink Instant status.» How can I disable this message so that I can print without having to respond each time? In addition to replacing the original instant ink cartridges, I did it 'hard' printer restarts (with the switch market), tried to restore the factory settings via the touch screen system settings, turn off internet connectivity and disable all alert settings in the HP utility. Help!
