OfficeJet 8600 more: impossible to activate the Scan

Use OS x 10.10 and printing/scanning using wifi, all of a sudden the scan button went from my printer on my macbook pro. It worked fine until a few days ago. I tried to delete the printer drivers and reinstall. I chose the name of the printer and printing not slected to air. I checked all of the updates and also updated the firmware to the printer. The scan button is missing and the option "enable scan" is crossed out in red. If I connect the printer cable printer a new printer icon becomes available in the primnter options and it can analyze. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @PlusBiz ,

I see that you have problems with scanning via the wireless network, but you can scan through the USB connection.
I want to help you with this issue today.

Fix permissions of the drive on the Mac:

Close all applications.

In the Apple menu, click OK, click Applications, and then click utilities.

Double-click disk utility.

Highlight your hard drive / partition on the left.

Click on check and then repair disk permissions.

Restart the computer...

Reset the printing system:

Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer deleted can be re-added later by clicking the sign plus (+) symbol.

Click on the Apple icon and then click on System Preferences.

Click on Printers & Scanners.

Make a right click (or Ctrl + click) in the left white side panel, and then click Reset printing system.

Click OK to confirm the reset.

Type the name and the correct password.

Click OK to reset the printing system.

Then click on the sign to add the driver, highlight the printer +. (you may need to click the drop down menu to select the name of the printer) Then click the Add button.

Attempt to activate the scan of the computer again.

Try to print and scan the image.

If you do not always have the option, do a uninstall complete and reinstall the software.

Uninstalling the printer software.

The steps should also work for Yosemite.

Close all open windows.
Turn it back on.
Empty the trash.

Reinstall the software of the printer again. HP Officejet Pro 8600 series full feature software and drivers.

If you're still having problems, it could have been an automatic update on the router and port scan isn't currently open.

You can contact the router company to verify and to open these ports 9220/9500/427 on the router.

Please let me know the results.

Have a wonderful day!
Thank you.

  • HP Envy 100 - impossible to activate the scan from the printer

    I use an iMac end of 2012 and spin the Mavericks. Envy is connected to my WiFi.

    I was never able to get the urge to turn on a scan from the printer. When I press on the analysis on the printer, I get 3 options and choose 'computer '. I can get some information from introduction to scanning the computer. He says this analysis for computer is activated automatically when the printer is first set up and I need to have installed the HP printing software. This means to me that something has not been properly Setup and I can't work it out. I just updated my software as a result of Mavericks. I regularly print to the printer and am able to activate a scan of my computer.

    I read a few posts on the software uninstallation. If necessary, I don't know what needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled and how I could do that.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you

    HI - my apologies for the slow response.

    Would it not possible to check to see if "Scan to Computer" is enabled in the utility application from HP?  This application must be in the folder Applications/Hewlett-Packard.

    Once the application opens, you may need to select your device if it is not already selected.  The configuration option "Scan to Computer" should appear at the bottom of the document window (see attachment "Utility HP - selected ENVY").

    Try to open the "Scan to Computer" configuration item and display settings.  Please refer to attachments "utility HP - Scan to computer do not activated" and "Utility HP - compatible computer Scan" for what that might look like if the feature is enabled or disabled.

    Let me know what you see.

    Also - since your connection to the printer on a wireless network, have you tried to move the printer closer to the router or wireless access point wireless?  I'm curious to know if there may be some intermittent network connectivity that is to interrupt the function computer scanning.  I would try to move the printer right next to the wireless router access point / wireless to see if that helps the issue.

    I will continue to work on this issue for you to get the help you need.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 more: officejet pro 8600 more impossible to install the driver

    I have been having problems printing of PDF files - they would print with black boxes in the portions of them that do not appear on the screen.  I confirmed that I had the latest version of Adobe Reader.  So I tried to update my drivers for the printer.  The HP site suggested that I have installed a new driver package.  It kept failing install.  The error was:

    2081883401: failed to uninstall the device with the serial number XXXXXXXX (serial number removed)

    I tried manually uninstall the printer first, but that doesn't seem to make a difference.

    Now, the printer is not yet shown and I can't install it.

    How can I get my work and the back of the printer?

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 more. No menu auto scan when loading documents in the ADF?

    I have an Officejet Pro 8600 more again to replace the L7780 who brought up the menu scan, when a document is loaded into the autofeeder.  How can I get the only 8600 to do the same.  I find that I liked the convenience of the automatic menu, but it does not come to the top when I load the document (s) to scan in the ADF.  This feature has been discontinued?

    Thank you.  I do enjoy the printer but miss this feature that I scan all my documents in my computer to avoid to keep a lot of paper.

  • HP Officejet 8600 more print and scan problems

    Hello

    I had my HP officejet 8600 more for 2-3 years and always had problems following and just kept reinstalling the drivers as a quick fix. I am now starting a business from home and I have no time to deal with printing and scanning the questions and, of course, my warranty has expired! My operating system is OS X version 10.9.4.

    When I scan to my computer, the printer indicates "not found computer." The status of my mac is no different than when I scanned a document a few days ago! Remove and reinstall the drivers solves this problem temporarily but I want it fixed permanently.

    In addition, when printing, sometimes a page can print immediately and at other times, it may take 5-10 minutes to print even if its status is 100% full in the print queue - even once, reinstall the drivers is a quick fix but I want a permanent solution.

    Any help to solve these problems would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you very much...

    Hello @Popi, with this printer, you don't have the Solution Center. Although you don't have the 8600 icon on your desktop. It is exactly the same as the Solution Center. The newer printers have an image of the printer rather than the solution Center. It's exactly the same thing.

  • Cannot Downgrade firmware on HP Officejet 8600 more!

    Hello

    In my office, I have to scan and copy legal size documents a lot a lot per day, I recently acquired this great printer Hp Officejet 8600 more

    The first day, I was able to scan a bunch of 2 faces paper legal, very impressive, but then I upgraded the printer, as always at ease with the updates, but as a result of this, I was unable to rescan legal-size paper

    I read a lot of similar problems, and I can't believe that there is an official decision, the printer can scan perfectly legal size papper, the solution is therefore downgrade the FW to an older version, but I can't, I tried with Jetadmin, with OJP8600_N911gn_1232A.exe and copy the file to upgrade *.ful directly to the printer

    And still the same thing:

    -in the printer display the message (print) for a few seconds and then back to the homescreen again
    In the computter with Jetadmin he stay on 0% for hours

    -With OJP8600_N911gn_1232A.exe and EnterpriseDU.ini modded pops up an error after 20 minutes and ask me to reset the printer

    -Copy the file *.ful to the printer, just put the screen printing on the printer 2 or 3 seconds and the back then to the home screen.

    I tried by USb cable, ethernet and same wireless

    Is a security bolt in the new firmwares?

    How can I downgrade the printer?, is urgent, I need to analyze a large number of legal documents
    And please activate the option of our own choice of risk, for a legal analysis in the next update, I am tired and disappointed...

    Thank you

  • OfficeJet 8600 more: power cord with adapter for Officejet 8600 set more lost

    Lost my power cord complete with adapter. Can I use a power cord generic Office Depot, without the 'square' on the wire? Or is it necessary to have the power cord with the adapter, as it was originally? It will damage my 8600 more to use a power cord without this "square" in the annex on my more than 8600 all-in-One? Thank you.

    Hello @DB2,

    I understand that you have lost the power cord for your HP Officejet Pro 8600 more e-all-in-one printer and you want to replace it. I would like to help you to solve this problem today. The HP Officejet 8600 more only comes with a power cord. The adapter is built into the back of your printer. You have to unscrew the back of your machine in order to access it. Therefore, if you buy a spare power cord it should work perfectly for you.

    The power requirements for this machine are:

    • Power: Universal power adapter (external)
    • Power consumption: Input voltage: 100 to 240 VAC (± 10%), 50/60 Hz (± 3 Hz)

    Output voltage: + 32V / + 12V to 1095 mA/170 my

    • Consumption: 30 watt impression (project Quick Mode); 32 watts copy (Fast draft Mode)

    You can buy a power cable of the store to use with your printer, or you can contact our Technical Support queue and buy the correct power cord for your printer by phone.
