Officecjet 8600 Pro: can not scan to computer

At the printer for a few years. Started by, scan to computer worked.

Then it would work after a reboot of the pc for a period of time before stopping.

Now, I can not work at all.

I * think * this is part of an update of the firmware, the printer automatically.

Attempt to activate scan of the computer in the HP utility, it says 'Communication error. Impossible to comminucate with device.

However print and scan from the pc works fine, so the printer communicates. In addition, utility HP can see other things such as ink levels.

Suggestions welcome.

Hey @Ian_O,

I see you encounter some problems with the scanning of your Officejet Pro 8600 e-all-in-one printer to your computer Mac OSX 10.11. I can help you with that.

To start, make sure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector. Once done:

  1. If the printer is connected to your Mac via a USB cable, remove it.
  2. Click on your Apple icon, system preferences and printers and Scanners.
  3. Hold down the control panel and click the icon of your printer on the left.
  4. Click on reset printing system.
  5. Open Applications, Hewlett-Packard and run Uninstall HP.
  6. Restart your Mac.
  7. Download the latest drivers by clicking on this link.

At this point, you should be able to print and scan. If you are unable to scan, please let me know how the printer is connected to your Mac and I will be able to help you further.

Please let me know the results after following the above. If you are able to scan, click on accept solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. The two icons are below this post.

  • All-in-one HP Photosmart C6280 not connected to the internet, and can not scan to computer

    My HP Photosmart C6280 all-in-one not connected to the internet, and can not scan to the computer.  I got it for a few years and must plugged into my Macbook to print, but now I want to use it to scan photos directly to my computer.  Can someone help me to do this?  Much appreciated!  (Not sure where are my original softward records!)

    Oh, OK, well this isn't probably the problem, but for good measure, you should get the latest version of the software for your printer from the "support & drivers" link at the top of this page.

    In the meantime, we will reset the printing system:

    -Go to System Preferences > Print & Fax
    -Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - This will remove ALL your printers!
    -Select the sign more to add a printer. Top of the window, Select the default tab . Search for the printer, select it, and wait until the button 'Add' becomes available. Until it clicks.

    Hello Robin,.

    Thank you very much for your answers and your efforts! My sincerest apologies for not knowing that Windows 7 Professional 64 bit rested not with the tool! I learned something new from you and thank you so much for this!

    We can try level 3 or 4 uninstall manually, instead of running the tool. I understand that the tool would be the easiest method. Here are the steps for you.

    1. Insert the CD in the drive and then cancel Setup

    2. open "Computer", and then right click on CD drive and open

    3 open the Util folder

    4 open the CCC folder

    5 If you have an HP computer, run the L3uninstall.exe. If you have a computer not HP, run the L4uninstall.exe

    6. once the uninstall is complete, restart the computer

    7 run the Accessories\ System Tools Disk Cleanup

    8. perform a clean boot

    9. run the download to reinstall the printer ( HP Officejet Pro Full Feature software and driver )

    If the software has been downloaded and extracted the download of the driver for your system:

    1. click on start and type %temp% in the search box, open the folder

    2. Locate and open the folder starting with 7z (example: 7zS2356) (if there is more than one, choose the most recent folder)

    3 open the Util folder

    4 open the CCC folder

    5 If you have an HP computer, run the L3uninstall.exe. If you have a computer not HP, run the L4uninstall.exe

    6. once the uninstall is complete, restart the computer

    7 run the Accessories\ System Tools Disk Cleanup

    8. perform the clean boot

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 pro, I can not scan to a NAS or my linux box. The error of the Linux box is:

    OfficeJet Pro 8600 pro, I can not scan to a NAS or my linux box.  Web browser for the Linux of the error box is: "you can't use this feature because it has been disabled."  For more information, contact your network administrator or the person who set up the printer.

    To better understand the issue, I would need more information on your side.

    1. What is the brand and model of the scanner?

    2. Do you get any error messages? If Yes, what is the full error message?

    1. Corrupted driver.

    2. Hardware problem.

    I suggest you to run hardware store and check if it helps.

    (a) press the Windows keyboard.

    (b) Troubleshooting type in the search box and press enter.
    (c) click on material and audio.

    (d) click on hardware and devices and follow the on-screen instructions.

    Method 2:
    If the problem persists, I suggest you to download and install the latest scanner driver\software on the manufacturer's Web site.

    I have a HP all-in-ONE Officejet 150 and that you are unable to scan wireless.  Right now, I can't even the bluetooth icon to turn blue, although it said that the radio is on.  I took my old printer because of such problems.  I handed to factory, combined with my Sony computer, but it does not recognize my computer.  Suggestions?  I can use a cable and get it to the scan, but that defeats the purpose of bluetooth technology.
