OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus duplex printing does not

I am on Mac OSX leopard (10.5.8) and just purchased the officejet pro 8600.  Everything seems to work fine except that I can't understand how to print on both sides.  The option is not allowed in the layout

I checked the settings of the printer and you don't see anything to indicate how to enable the duplex printing option.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hello

Please follow the steps below to configure the automatic duplex print driver:

1. check that duplex printing accessory has been installed correctly. To check this open system preferences and go to Print & Fax. Open the print to your printer queue. Click Printer Setup and in the tab menu choose driver. Make sure that the box next to HP printing accessory (duplexer) sides.

2. on the file menu, select print. The print window is displayed.
NOTE: The print window might be minimized. Click the blue triangle next to the printer name to see all available parameters.

3. in the print window expanded you will find next to Copies the checkbox for duplex. Select the check box.
NOTE: If the check box does not appear in the specific application print dialog box, skip this step.

4. to select the connection type click the selection box below, listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.

5. Select the menu drop down.

6. set the duplex option as binding edge Long (Portrait) or binding Long Edge (landscape).

You can save the settings for later use by clicking preset > save current settings as preset.

Please let me know of any problems,

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus - Duplex printing problem

    I use a printer Officejet Pro 8600 Plus (what is the best printer I've ever had, apart from this problem!).  I use it with Windows 8.1.

    He struggles for more than a few pages print using duplex.  The problem seems to get worse when I print a pdf file.  It starts to print very well and made a few pages, but then I get this message "error on HP Officejet Pro 8600.  "Could not print * name * folder.  It appears on the computer not the printer.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Hey there @operationorphan

    I just wanted to add my own suggestions here for the issue of two-sided printing that you had with your Officejet 8600.

    You can try to update the firmware: get the latest Firmware and updates

    If this does not help, try to uninstall the printer software , reboot the PC and reinstall the printer. This should dissipate all software problems.

    I hope that helps!

    If troubleshooting doesn't help not solve your problem, then I would say call the HP Technical Support to see all the other possibilities for you. If you call in North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions: click here.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus: network capability are not available

    Please come back to me @Shahin_ij. I think the printer reset will solve the problem. I'll send you a PM (private Message), but before I do, please see the HP Privacy Statement.

    There are a growing number of messages in this forum and elsewhere in the internet with the steps to do a reset on different printers.  Reset to will sometimes fix problems, so resetting is not the issue.

    A few resets require you to enter key combinations to open special menus on your printer that you were supposed to never access.  These special menus are used by developers and staff support for debugging of problems, but they are not intended for inexperienced users and can have unexpected results.  A wrong button push and you might no longer have a printer, but rather an expensive paper weight.  On top of that, if you happen to the 'brick' the printer in this way, it is considered as customer induced damage and voids the warranty automatically. These resets are only intended to be distributed and used as a last resort and under the direct instruction of a representative of the HP technical support.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus "unspecified printer problem.

    I've just set up my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-all-in-one.  The establishment seemed fine, but when I go to the tab "devices" to "HP" connected there a sign yellow and says that I have a problem with my printer.  When I click on the symbol of the performance, the box says that "a non specifiedproblem has been reported." Please check your printer. ' When I check the printer control panel, there is no reported problem.  The machine seems to print OK, but I want to clarify this error that appears.  Any ideas?

    Also, I've done the restart and sign-off/sign-in stuff, so we can move on to the second order troubleshooting.  Thank you.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus: I have a top loader of the OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus page works do not?

    The top loader will feed is out of paper. He reconizes that he delivers here but it will not feed... making the noise, but do not feed. Can I do to fix? I cleaned the rollers with alcohol.

    Hey @HandymanConnect,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support.

    I see that you are having problems with the document feeder in your Officejet Pro 8600 more e-all-in-one printer. I can help you with that.

    First, I will mention that the cleaning of the rollers with alcohol has the opposite effect you hope. As the rollers of the printer depends on rough grip on rollers, with alcohol will break the rollers and damage to the printer. Instead, HP recommends to use water to clean the rollers and other components inside the printer.

    That said, make sure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector. Once done, this document explains How to solve problems of choice with your document feeder.

    If after following the above, you are still not able to use the feeder, the printer must be replaced. You can contact the HP Support by clicking on this link and fill out the form below to discuss the options based on your warranty.

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

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus: now really can not print from Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

    It is my second attempt to get help.  First aid made it worse.  I had been unable to print from my printer wireless to my MacBook Pro, iPad, or iPhone.  After 20 hours I managed to do print from a cable (it sees my network but none of my devices can see).  So I posted here asking for help and was told to uninstall the software, repair disk permissions, and then reinstall the software.  But when I downloaded the new software that my computer would not install it because it says it's for Mac system 10.7 or less and I 10.10.  So now I can't print anything at all.  I need this job.  Please help me to fix it for real.  I can't take this more.

    In fact, HP support did not help at all. I finally fixed it myself after a lot of trial and error. The answer was that the printer software was incompatible with the software on my Mac. I removed Rowmote and it started working again. Weird, Rowmote had not been a problem before, but it can be updated. I was told there was new software of the printer of February, but when I went to the driver page with the link that the person a condition he had as the old one. So if he is really a software it should be provided to users. Thank you, they were attentive, though, and I received several phone calls.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 has: the printer does not

    Got a message on the control panel may not print, replace the depleted ink cartridge (magenta) to resume printing.  Nothing changed when I replaced the magenta cartridge.  I replaced it once again without change.  I keep getting the same message and therefore impossible to print.

    Hello @dejen and welcome to the Forums of HP, I hope you enjoy your experience!

    If I understand your message that you are having problems with your cartridge.  I would like to help!

    I recommend to start by removing the printer ink cartridges and reset the power supply.  Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

    Then, I recommend following the steps in this document:

    A "ink cartridge appears to be missing or corrupt" control panel displays error on the printer

    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  • 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 Plus will not be printed

    I just bought a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus, and I've connected two PC and two iPads to it.  I also plugged on my Macbook Pro (iOS 10.6.8), but unlike four other devices, the Macbook will not print.

    The Macbook watch the installed printer, sends the print job, but nothing prints.  I reinstalled the printer, the driver updated and reset the system print, all nothing will do.   I know that the Macbook and printer can communicate because I can print a test page for the HP utility in the browser.

    You do not know this information helps, but I have observed in anticipation of eventually being removed from their own print jobs.  I also noticed that, strangely enough, a print job will appear in the queue, I try to print the levels of power, but I was not initialized it.

    What Miss me?

    (Btw, it's a wireless installation.  I read that others troubleshoot using a static address, but this isn't an option for me. My ISP router will not work with a static address.)

    After much research, I found someone else on this forum who has had the same problem and found a solution.  I post the link below in case someone comes on this post.

    How to access your e-mail?

    * Do you connect to a service of e-mail via a web browser?

    * Or you are using a client such as MS Outlook e-mail software?

    If you log on to an e-mail via a web browser client, then you do in Internet Explorer?  Have you tried multiple browsers to ensure that the problem does not follow?

    I would also try another driver, such as the driver of c 990, to see if it is a driver compatibility problem.  For more information about how to use another driver, see thread of Shane_R found here.  I hope this helps.
