OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus: Scanner will not install software stopped working/Easy Start

Unable to scan to computer, but has worked in the past. Error message indicates that the software HP for the Scan of the computer could not be located.  Have been trying to install it, it seems to be downloading but then says that it cannot install because no internet connection.  The connection is fine, works for everything else, shows very well in the status reports.  Tried several times, restarted the computer, nothing seems to work.

Hi @SD58and welcome to the Forums of HP!

I'd be happy to help you to install the software for your more than 8600. Using Safari or another browser? It seems strange to me that you can download the software, but then can not install, the installation requires no software. However, the Easy Start probably reaches out using internet to locate appreciate software to install. That being said, I feel the question could be linked so browser that I wonder what browser you use and if you could try another.

Please let me know the result of using another browser and we can go from there. If using another browser resolves the issue, please click on accept as Solution to identify your post as solved.

Thank you.

    When you use the document for scan, copy, fax feeder, etc. the document always ends with two vertical black lines in the middle of the page.  I read a few other posts similar to this and tried all the advice, and nothing seems to have worked.  So far I've tried: cleaning the machine reset, turn it off for a period of time and again, disconnect it from the power supply for five minutes and by him plugging plug (which were the advice given in other posts).  Thanks in advance!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 more: printer will not recognize this yellow cartridge has been refilled.

    The printer would not print because the yellow cartridge was totally exhausted.  I had all the colors of three cartridges filled at Costco and reinstalled the printer.  Still not printed - he continues to say the yellow cartridge is completely empty and must be replaced.  How can I do recognize that this cartridge has been refilled?

    Replace all cartridges per HP cartridges to see if it solves your problem. If so, suspect that the reloaded cartridges were damaged by Costco.

    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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    What I found there are some good options based on their comments, I'm not sure if they will have all the features you're looking for, but...

    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 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.

    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.

  • 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.
