OfficeJet Pro 8600 loses the wireless connection

I have a 8600 OfficeJet Pro (n911a), which has lost its connection with the PC. The computer is running Windows 7 (64) and work very well for several months. Recently, when you try to print, the following message is displayed. I did several searches on the web and found that this has been a problem in class, but no clear solution. The only thing I tried was changing layout alarm ink 'always' to 'then of printing"that someone has suggested, but that did not help. Other bids I found indictate that this problem occurs when the printer is idle for a few hours, but restart it restores. This isn't the case here. The following error message:

Any advice/suggestions/etc are welcome. Thank you in advance.

Well, the problem was solved by uninstalling the software, and then reinstall the latest version of HP.

The only reason why that I did not it was in the first place because many comments I've seen on this issue before said they had already tried that and it didn't work. So, I didn't see no reason to waste my time trying something that might take a lot of time with little chance of success. However, the printer in question was still under warranty, so I was able to communicate directly with HP and it's what they me ultimately do. I was online with them for nearly 90 minutes to try other things first, but this is what worked in the end.

If you decide to try it yourself, I would say that you do not forget to completely uninstall the current version first. The tech. I chatted with told me that it would be unnecessary, but do not do so caused several other problems. I finally had to do a system restore, and then try again until it would work.

So far so good.

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L670 - 1 H 1, a new laptop that runs Windows 7, with all the drivers and software uptodate, including the wireless card.

    I have a BT Home Hub 3 with an Edimax EW 7416APN v2 300 m range extender to help boost the signal in the kitchen area.

    The laptop works fine when I stay in the room where the reception centre. If I move in the kitchen the laptop will usually lose the wireless connection after a few minutes and I cannot get it back unless I turn the LAPTOP works and return to the Home Hub.

    I see no obvious reason to this problem. Two other laptop computers used in the home, more a smartphone stay connected with full signal in every corner of the House, at any time.

    I have to use the range extender, but is it possible that the laptop Toshiba just don't hear well with it?

    Any advice would be welcome.

    Thank you

    Hello Canton

    As you know quality of connection WLAN depends on different factors is not easy to say why you have this problem, WLAN. I use Toshiba laptops for a long time now and I didn't notice in the past some serious question of WLAN.
    For example I'm 4 router with standard g and have very good signal even in the cellar too or out in the back yard.

    If possible, try to test the WLAN connection elsewhere. Maybe your friends have WLAN routers so you can test it.

    You have a new router or old?
    What WLAN standard do you use (b/g/n)?

  • all-in-one 7510 loses the wireless connection

    We just bought a HP Photosmart 7510. She created fine with a wireless connection to our office for Vista 64-bit. After awhile, he loses the wireless connection. If I close the printer then turn on again, it resets the connection and works very well. I read that it can lose connection if it goes into sleep mode, and it seems that is what is happening. My question is, is there a way to keep the impression of loss of connection or enter the mode 'sleep'? Or do we have to put the printer only whenever we wanted to print, copy or scan? If so, the printer is adjustable to disable instead of switch mode 'sleep'?

    Already set to 'off '. I found this thread http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/7510-photosmart-printer-energy-mode/m-p/1230681/highlight/true#M33814 I tried this and so far it works and has not lost its connection.

  • Inspiron N5110 loses the wireless connection

    My Inspiron N5110 loses the wireless connection frequently. We have many other devices in the House - laptops, iPhones, etc. - who continue to operate perfectly through the router even when I lose my connection. The store usually brings me to reset the router, even if, as I have indicated, the router works properly. Any thoughts?  Thank you!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 all-in-One connected as network printer loses connection

    In December 2011, I bought a HP Officejet Pro 8600 all-in-One to replace an Officejet 6500 as my network printer home. The 6500 worked very well on my cable, but his screen did not, I tried some of the features offered by the 8600 and I got a good price on a new warehouse of BJ. I have the 8600 connected via ethernet (not wireless), with a static IP address. All my computers on the network are running Windows XP Pro SP3 and are up-to-date with Microsoft updates. However, from one day to the next my 8600 will lose connectivity scan (Scan of the computer shows it as being disabled on all my computers at the same time, and I can't reconnect), and if I do not have anything he'll (as in a few hours) also lose connectivity impression. The only way to restore connectivity is to uninstall the HP Officejet Pro 8600 device software basis of all computers, and then reinstall the printer. I had a phone conversation and two debates with HP Technical Support; They suggested that the problem is in the firewall on the computers (but if that were the case I don't think that the loss of connectivity would occur on all computers at the same time), the IP address setting (doesn't make sense) and the printer driver is not not the latest version. I tried all the suggestions, and none of them have solved the problem. The last counselor "has raised the issue to the next level", which proved to be a Manager with no technical expertise and his only suggestion was that I have to return the printer to the merchant. I think the problem is the firmware in the printer (which, according to the 'update' on the printer option, is the latest version). Any other suggestions or experience?

    After a lot of research and find the settings that I did not know that Windows XP offered, I found that the following appear to have solved the problem I've known - at least the printer is now operational for more than 48 hours without losing printing or scan connection. Here are the steps I used:

    1. Start Control Panel  connections network and Internet

    2. Choose "network connections."

    3. Right click on "connect to the Local network.

    4. Choose "Properties".

    5. In the top window is the name of the Ethernet computer connection port, select "Configure" next to this window

    6. Select the tab labeled 'Power Management'

    7. Uncheck the box "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

    8. Select the "Advanced" tab

    9. Select the entry "power saving Mode".

    10. If this entry is set to change 'On' to 'Off '.

    11. Select 'OK', and then close the windows that were opened

    Hello derekd01,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you are unable to connect wireless Officejet 8600 because you receive a message "this feature has been locked by your system administrator. I will do my best to help you!

    There is an administrator through the Embedded Web Sever settings, but in order to access it, it must be connected to a wireless network. Unfortunately, you are unable to access the wireless configuration. There are two options you can try:

    (1) you can connect an Ethernet cord, and then go to the Embedded Web Sever.

    (2) you can install the printer on your computer by a USB cable. Complete installation, and then follow this HP document convert a connected USB printer wireless. Once this operation is complete, you can access the Embedded Web Sever.

    Once you get this printer, follow these steps in the Embedded Web Sever:

    (1) at the very top of the page, click on settings, then password settings
    (2) if there is a username and password, please remove this item and click on apply

    Please post your results, I will be looking forward to hear from your part have a good night!

  • Can you simultaneously connect Officejet Pro 8600 wired or wireless?

    I currently have an Officejet Pro 8600 printer and it worked flawlessly when connected wireless over the last few months until yesterday, when all of a sudden could not be connected to my office.  (Note: my wife's cell phone still print on it without problem).  I'm going down in support information in an attempt to return to its former State, running via the wireless, but I was wondering if this printer can be connected both cables (on the desktop) AND wireless (for laptop) at the same time?  If so, how is this dual connection method performed?  Thank you.

    Thanks for your help Jamieson. This perfectl worked.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus does not connect through the Device Manager but will connect bij Win7.

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus that works very well with some computers connected via ethernet.

    On a new computer with Windows 7 Ultimate edition, HP Device Manager can't find the printer, even when I give IP address.

    When I try to add a new printer network in Windows (add printer) windows detects the printer less than a second.

    I need the hp Device Manager configuration so I can use all the options off the officejet.

    Problem solved.

    The printer has a fixed IP address and the customer got his IP by DHCP. By dhcp, dns suffix has been changed so the printer dns suffix and the client does not mach.

    Now the printer receives its IP address by the dhcp server. The dhcp server always gives the same address to the printer.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 causes the computer cursor indicate that the system is busy (turning circle)

    I have connected the Officejet pro 8600 printer to my wireless home network and continuously now the cursor on the computer will indicate that the system is busy producing a turning circle every 5 to 10 seconds. The computer is running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit operating system.  I went to the Task Manager on the computer and has determined that a file named HpNetworkCommunicator.exe is the origin of the problem in cycling on and off (looking for a signal). I turned on the printer and the file remains on and the problem is solved. However, I don't want to leave the printer at any time, is anyway to stop this file from the search for the printer when the printer is turned off?  Thanks in advance.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus the Scanner Software

    Hello

    I'm a big fan of HP products.  My last several printers, scanners and computers were all HP.

    I recently bought the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus to replace an older machine with similar features (ADF, duplex, etc.).  The previous machine was also an HP printer.

    The problem I encounter is that the software appears to have been downgraded.  The software on my previous machine had the ability to automatically analyze the photos laid on the flat bed scanner in individual jpg.  With the software on this computer, it seems that I need to manually crop each image.  The options for optimization of each picture, eliminating scratches, automatically adjust color, sharpness, etc. are all gone.

    I really miss these features.  I found that I had been using a "basic" version of the software.  I installed the full version and found it a little different, but it still lacks the automatic selection of the image and image tweaks I did this inveterate of.

    Is it possible to recover these options?

    Thank you

    -MrXmas

  • OfficeJet PRO 8600: Reset the administrative password on an Officejet PRO 8600

    I lost a large part of the contents of a Mac 4 years when an electrical short burned inside in a way that Apple could not determine the cause. The end result is that I found that the administrative password for my 8600 died with the old Mac that I have been unable to recover the keychain that had all the information a password in it. I wish now that more importance was pointed out in the instructions when passwords have been set up, on the future need for them to use as many important features of the printer.

    I would appreciate much all guidanc I can get in how to reset the administrative password of my 8600.

    Hi @Redwoc,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I see that you are trying to reset the administrative password for your HP Officejet Pro 8600, and I'm happy to help you!

    You can do a reset of the printer using the LED screen on the printer. Select Configuration, then Tools, then restore the default settings. "Restore default settings" is the last element of the list, and then you must scroll down to see it.
     
    This clears all the settings of the printer, including the administrator password.

    I hope this helps!

  • HP DV7t-6100 loses the wireless connection

    My HP DV7t regularly loses its wireless connection, without a valid reason, since I bought it a year ago. The remedy was to reset my router, despite the fact that no other devices at home - not even an another HP laptop and an HP printer - loses connection. But lately when I put the laptop to sleep - usually by closing the lid - the computer completely forget what network is attached to and so I have to reconnect manually each time. Even then, it takes very, very long time to connect and sometimes even said "it takes longer than expected to connect to the network.". Happy, told me what I already know! I checked all my settings in Windows 7 "Network and sharing Center" to make sure that my network is selected, it is a home network, that "automatically connect"; is selected, and that all my data password is correct. He still refuses to recognize the network and connect automatically. I'm done with this and just can't understand why this is happening. I haven't changed anything in my computer or router configuration, so I am at a loss why the system forgets everything and must be connected manually.  The wireless in my computer module is an Intel WiFi Link 1000 BGN and all drivers are up to date.

    None of the suggestions so far have worked, but it seems to me a solution: spend my router from WEP to WPA2 encryption seems to have solved the problem, at least for now. I have no idea why this works, but a bit of google searching seems to indicate that wireless WEP can be flaky with cards and routers. If it doesn't work anymore, I will be sure to repost for a solution. Thank you all for the help - it takes a village (so to speak).

    UPDATE: after 24 hours, the connection through WPA2 is rock stable with no connection dropped. It is also faster to download. I hope that this solution works for others.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 periodically loses the wireless connection

    I have a new printer HP 8600 settlement. It is configured as a wireless printer and most of the computers on my network are able to access very well.

    However, I have a server running Windows 2003 Small Business Server and it's hard to stay connected to the printer. The server is wired through an ethernet cable, the printer is configured as a configuration wireless w / an IP defined manually so that computers can easily locate the printer on the same IP address every time. I used Windows XP drivers to install the printer very well under Win2003SBS. When connected, it prints very well. But after awhile, the printer loses the connection with the Win2003SBS machine. Sometimes it prints, usually, is not. I have to reset the printer as if it is going into such a deep sleep, the server is unable to wake up the printer.

    In addition, the printer struggled to connect to shared folders on the server (more precisely, the function "scanner network"). If I go into Internet Explorer by using the browser from the server, then connect to the 8600 via the built-in web server, it won't work. Once the server is connected to the printer on the built-in Web server, the server and the scanner will be will recognize each other. It is a painful and tedious extra step and it will expire after a short period, after which the server and printer must be connected in the same way.

    All my computers/printers/faxes are connected to the same wireless Westell 7500 router. They should not have communication problems because they are all pulling IP addresses in the same area.

    Is there a way to make the server and the printer recognize themselves and stay connected? Am I wrong configured something? Thank you.

    Hi bluestreak363,

    I would change the Ethernet cable to make sure that you have a good solid connection and then download the software driver for Win Server 2003 on the link below.
