  • 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.

  • Automatically create color PDF can not deposit Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

    I have an Officejet Pro 8600 Plus and an Apple OSX Yosemite iMac running. I installed the full software from the HP support site, and in particular the analysis of the HP is version 4.4.1 (21).

    I want to create a color PDF directly in a file on my computer to the scanner.

    If I select Save as PDF, I get a b & w image in a file that is automatically created.

    If I select print daily scan opens in HP Scan and I am able to create an image in color, but with additional steps.

    I looked at other similar topics in 2012 and 2013 and saw advice to change the mode in HP utility/Scan to computer/change Scan tasks/editing, but there is no option of color Mode.

    Finally, I figured this out. It CAN be done.

    Go to HP utility/Scan of the computer.

    Make sure that enable Scan to computer is checked.

    Select Edit analysis jobs

    Select Save as PDF/change

    In the presets drop-down, select generalist

    In the section move the items from the Finder, you can also specify the folder where the scans will be saved.

    Saved color, managed directly from the printer scans on my iMac. Sweet!

  • HI, how can I scan a picture and only the witout the rest. On a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus?

    HI, how can I scan a picture and only the witout the rest. On a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus?

    When I scan I got my photo and all white for the rest of the screen

    It has no function of machine harvest in the 8600 software. To get the exact size, you will need to manually set the size for the scans that you do. You can find the setting by clicking on the blue link to advanced settings in the first scan window. Will take you to a place that will allow you to change the size of the scanning area. Hope that helps.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus fried by storm - how can I removed the ink cartridges

    A storm on the last week my OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus feeding dish. The printer is irretrievably economic so I ordered a new printer.

    Without power, the transport of ink cartridge is stuck in extreme right position where it is impossible to remove the four ink cartridges relatively new. Ink is not cheap... would like to be able to recover the disabled printer ink cartridges but cannot understand how the cart release.

    Any sugguestions would be appreciated.

    In the end from the deceased by removving Assembly ADF/scanner printer ink cartridges. This provided access from the top to the distribution of ink stuck.  T10 Torx driver required to remove all.

    The new printer will not accept the cartridges retrieved when installing printer... had to use the "setup" cartridges in the box with the new printer.

    After you configure the new printer, however, I've been able to 'Set up' cartridges for almost new XL cartridges that I had recovered from my old printer.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus: HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus - Can no longer print with my Mac

    I have been using a printer HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus via my MacBook Pro (OS X Yosemite version 10.10.4) for about two years with no problems until recently.  Since a few days ago, I'm more able to print wireless, despite the fact that the printer is connected to the network.  Interestingly, the print queue reflects the print job completed, but pages do not print.  In my attempts to solve the problem, I have (i) restore factory settings and re-written information of network required on the printer; (ii) disconnected the printer and waited five minutes;  (iii) unplugged and reset the router. (iv) deleted and reinstalled the software and drivers printer on my laptop.  My laptop is in communication with the printer as evidenced by my ability to scan using HP Scan wireless, but I'm unable to print the document once it is scanned.  Finally, I am able to print the network settings Page in the menu of the printer, but not the printer web page... I get an error message saying 'the printer is busy. Try again later.  Any ideas to fix this frustrating problem would be greatly appreciated.  I apologize if my descriptions are not technically accurate because I am a novice when it comes to computers and networks.  Thanks a lot for your help.

    Thank you for your response and suggestions. I really appreciate it.  You beat me to the punch... only a few hours ago, I was able to get the printer working again... but I forgot to update my post.  As you recommended, I have reset the printing system, downloaded a new driver... hpprinterdriver3.1.dmg... added a new printer... restart the printer, my router and my laptop... and the printer from work once again from my Mac.  Yet once again, I appreciate your efforts... Bravo.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus exemplary prints with black streaks

    I just bought a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus and it seems to work perfectly when printing; However, when I tried to copy something, the copy came out with black streaks that close to unreadable printing and are more dark/concentrate toward the left side of the page.

    How can I solve this problem?

  • 8600 pro more: Officejet Pro 8600 Plus no Magenta

    Shows estimated ink levels screen I have a magenta full certridge which is correct, but the printer will not print any color. I cleaned the print head and the sheet that comes out shows no magenta. I changed the cartridge for a new, everything was good for several days, and the same thing happened. Do I need a new print head?

    Hi mjdiebel,

    I'm sorry that your printer is not turning off any magenta ink.  You have already replaced the cartridge and clean the print head.  You may be able to recover the ink by making another cleaning; but at this point the print head may need to be replaced.

    Here is a document that describes the steps that you have already taken and how to order a printhead if you decide to go this route:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-OfficeJet-Pro-8600-plus-e-all-in-one-printer-series-N911/4322915/document/c04113542/

    The price of a printing head can be high, depending on the age of your printer, you can decide to buy a new printer instead.

    I hope this information helps.

  • Maverick incompatible with Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

    Maverick update os x 10.9 is incompatible with Officejet Pro 8600 Plus.

    1 PDF files from the Web pages are black and show no information when I try to print from any browser.  Must take snapshots of Web page and print from that

    2 info printer shows that it is still printing when it is finished and will not move forward to the next task

    Help, please!  I see that there is no HP software update to resolve this issue and am confused why you didn't do your printing software compatible with a huge update of Mac.

    Hi podisc,

    Thanks for the quick response.  It is good to hear that you can print, it's at least a start.

    I know that you have not received the error messages in the document, but the behavior you describe leads me to believe that the software did not completely uninstall or install completely with the driver for the Mavericks.

    Please follow the steps listed in the document below and let me know how it goes.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus Scan quality issue

    Hello

    I just set up my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus, and everything seems to work properly.  I am really disappointed by the quality of the images so, so I thought I'd see if anyone has experienced the same problem?

    The scanned images are very dynamic, but are too.  Detail is lost in the scan either because the brightness, or because the scanner is not properly using the resolution I have him ask to scan (600 dpi).  I have tried various different brightness and contrast settings in the scan dialog, nothing helps.  Printing HP and Scan Doctor reported no problem.  Increase the resolution of scanning on the 8600 is not helped either.

    I joined a segment of an image of the 8600 and a lot cheaper all-in-one I expected to replace, a canon mp630.  I have bought the 8600 because the scanner component had good reviews, but based on my experience, that I'm starting to have my doubts!

    Please let me know if you think there's nothing I can do to improve the quality of the scans?

    I use Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit.

    Thank you

    Pete

    8600 scan 600 dpi (Note lack of paper grain)

    Canon MP630, 600 dpi (capture of paper grain, wash the details)

    Unfortunately, I must point out that the replacement was no better.  It's a real shame, old flat scanner HP I was replacing with the ACM was high quality, but the Pro 8600 scanner was simply not enough good.

    Ultimately I exchanged for another manufacturer MFP that produces a large part analysis better (even if printing is not as good).

    I had much rather have paid more for a higher quality scan on the HP, but this option is not available to me, which is a shame!  On the 8600 Pro scan color reproduction was great, but there not only to capture the details.

    You can adjust for color problems in the software, but if the detail is not captured, you can't put it in!

  • Officejet OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus: Pro 8600 more will not scan from touchpad after updating Windows 10

    After a Windows 10 update, my printer will not touchpad analyze. It will scan the troubleshooting utility. I unplugged and reset without success. I have updated to the latest version of the HP software for the printer. What else can I try?

    Before installing the HP software above, please uninstall your previous version first.

    During installation, select the type of standard or recommended installation when you are prompted by the installation software. If you choose a minimum installation, read the description of each component software with caution to avoid the unintentional loss of functionality of the printer.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus - ADF scanning problem

    Hello

    I recently bought this printer and used without problem for almost 2 months. However, right now I am struggling with the ADF.

    When I put a document to scan by ADF, I have a thin, black line on re-impressions. It is on the right side of the page, starts from everything at the top and goes down all the way.

    I have even if it is a kind of alignment line (you know when we write try, or its composition, leave us space on both sides)

    This problem does not exist when I scan and print documents of old school way, aka analysis usual. Only the ADF documents'ed have this problem a little. (The thin black line on things reprinted)

    Any recommendations?

    Best regards

    Update: I did what jason_h suggested in step 1 and it worked, this can be closed:
