Tips before buying HP all in one wireless to work with mac and AirPrint

I am looking to buy a HP Officejet Pro 8600 as my current HP is on the blink (well I think it's that I posted here with my problem with the Office Jet Pro 8500 and now it does not work with my mac at just my PC windows) but I need to know if I buy a HP Officejet Pro 8600 can I upgrade the network and not only print , but the scan wireless (probably more AirPrint) to a Mac Book Pro (end of 2011 on the last updated firmware), or is there a better printer for this task which is so cheap that I do not use the fax, but I'm going to use all other options; I print about 300 pages per month, as we Exam course and working documents to be printed on a regular basis in my house, that's why I'm leaning towards an Office Jet.

Can what advice you give?

Finally, what is the difference between a HP Officejet Pro 8600 and HP Officejet Pro more than 8600?

Sorry I'm so "wet behind the ears" when it comes down to this

See you soon.

Hello

The 8600 pro is a great printer, however, the 8500 is great too...

By looking at your original post the question more likely related to your network and not with the printer itself.

Before purchasing a printer new please try following the steps below and let me know if this can help, if the problem caused by your router you will instead see a similar behavior with the 8600 too:

Unplug the cable ehthernet on the side of the router, and then connect it directly to your Mac (a direct connection cable between the printer and the Mac itself).

Wait 2 - 3 minutes to allow the connection to fill and then open print & scanning.

Click on the sign more and add the printer listed as Hello.

Now start the software update from the Apple menu and check if you can scan via print & scan, Capture Image or excerpt:

If the analysis works by bypassing your network the problem caused by lack of compatibility Hello of the BT Home Hub, which can be called as Hello, mDNS, by different router or multicast IGMP manufactures...

I recommend you contact your router service provider to check if it supports this feature and if such can be activated by changing the settings of the router, a firmware update, etc.

You can find more info on this requirement in reviwing Solution 2: check your router for compatibility Hello in any information from Mac OS X in the document below:

    I just bought a Photosmart all-in-one wireless B109n. implementation proceeded without problems (including printing test photo).

    When I tried to use it later, he said that the cartridges were not detected.
    Strange thing is that when I take one of 4 cartridges, it says that one is missing. After you have added the last of them, he says that none of them are detected.

    Also, I need to re - enter the language and area whenever I turn it on. As if it's reset instead of make a cut...

  • How do you know if there is a compatible with El Capitan printer driver before buying the all-in-one printer?

    My all-in-one printer scanner Canon MX 860 lost the ability to print from the computer, now that I've upgraded to El Capitan. It didn't happen immediately, but now the buttons 'research' went to Canon interface, and the interface of the Apple System. (I spent half a day on troubleshooting, reset and download the drivers from Canon without success.)

    I want to buy a new all-in-one printer... (not Canon, thank you). I need to be sure that there is a 'friendly' pilot El Capitan before I buy and connect my printer. Interfaces for printer drivers are configured to "detect" my printer before the printer list is revealed. I checked Apple's site, but the model numbers are not exactly the same as the units that I compare before you buy.

    I am currently in Singapore where items back isn't something they do unless it is non-functional. You have chosen it, it works, you buy it, it's yours. I need to be sure about the drivers before you have the machine.

    See this link for compatible printers.

    Printer and scanner software available for download for your Mac - Apple Support

    Personally, I use Epson, configured as Airprint and have no problem.

  • HP Office Jet J6480 All In One - will not analyze with Mac OS 10,8.3

    I could not get my HP Office Jet J6480 All In One scanner after upgrading to 10.8.3.I followed other positions and have installed the most up to date driver (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907) , but whenever I try to scan from the HP Device Manager or photosmart studio, it says "sorry, scanner could not be initialized. (scanner not found) "I tried to make sure there is no other updates by clicking settings in the Device Manager by clicking on check the updates but it says 'server not available - service software is currently not available. "Please try again later" and I got this error for the last week.

    I followed the second set of instructions available here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HP-Software-Update-Server-Unavailable/td-p/18... to try to resolve this problem and install the software found on the link. I restarted my computer and I always meet the same problem.

    Note: My printer is wireless and I have not hooked by a cable. Will make a difference?

    My printer seems to be printing very well.

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Sara

    To add, both HP Device Manager or photosmart studio are part of the software and not designed for Mac OS X 10.8 10.5.

    Here are the steps to scan with your printer on mountian lion, make sure to run the software update first to ensure that the latest HP drivers are installed:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03550518

    Where the scanning software do not work as expected, that more probably caused by incompatible drivers installed on your system.

    In this case, remember to remove the software by following the HP uninstaller program (under Applications > Hewlett-Packard), rebot Mac and install the correct software by following the steps below:

  • Bought a new computer with windows 7. "psc 2210 all-in-one ' will not work with it....

    I have a psc 2210 all-in-one printer that I love. I bought a new computer with Windows 7 and I can't make it work. The HP site said that I don't have to download the drivers because windows 7 has already installed, but the main thing is that I can't make it work. Anyone, please help. My printer works perfectly and I can't afford to buy another. (I have a 64 bit)

    HP should contribute to this situation. I'm a loyal customer of Hp, but it's ridiculous that they do not create a driver to work with their printers.  All computers are coming with Windows 7.  HP please find a solution!

    I could get my HP PSC 2210 all-in-one to print!  I don't know exactly, because I've tried everything I could think of.  My son is a computer on which it has upgraded to windows 7 (64-bit) several months ago - he was able to successfully print on my printer immediately.   I just did an install complete (I bought the full version, not upgrade) to windows 7 (64 bit) - a couple of days and I'm finally to the point where I'm trying to connect printers.  Here is what I tried... again, I tried several things, although I've been in that general area...

    connect the printer to the computer

    go to the CONTROL PANEL--> Device Manager

    Click the arrow to the left of the IMAGING DEVICES (to be developed)

    RT click on printer PSC 2200 (should be listed under imaging devices)

    Select PROPERTIES--> DRIVER, then uninstall

    Select / tick "remove the driver for the device.

    the printer will disappear from the Device Manager (and peripheral Imaging also if it was the only selection)

    Unplug the printer to computer

    re - connect the printer to the computer

    Device Manager automatically updated (takes a few minutes, the screen refresh let until the yolk! disappears).

    Go to the control panel--> devices and printers

    Select printer PSC 2200, select Customize your printer, then the printed test page

    I hope that you will get a valid test page.  If this is not the case, another option I tried was:

    Through the above scenario.  When you get to the step "select PROPERTIES--> DRIVER, then uninstall" Select UNINSTALL directly from this menu (be sure to select/check "remove software pilot")

    Continue with the remaining steps above.

    I also tried 'Update Driver' of one of the previous screens above... I would like to know if you have a bit of luck!   I'm sorry that's not accurate.  Yet once, I tried everything I could think of, and something finally worked!  (I don't think I tried to 'Turn off the pilot')   Good luck! .........

  • Brother all-in-one does not work with the computer more

    After an automatic windows/XP download started what follows:

    All-in-one Brother takes control of the computer, but are not sent or computer will not receive the image to the desktop.

    Also, same unit will receive a fax and normally sends to the computer to the paperport, but now he sends (i.e. "connecting to PC" displayed on the LCD of the brother) to a computer but it can not be found anywhere; so lost.

    Measures taken so far:

    1. Uninstall and reinstall the Brother software, no help.

    2 brother support after an hour said that it is the computer not brother (I believe that good).

    3 System Restore will not work, it goes through the whole process, but said at the end that there nothing; Try again...

    4. in addition, conducted a deep scan for viruses etc, nothing found.

    Any ideas?

    Hi @kizzme,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    How the printer is connected to the Mac?

    Even if the printer is not connected, should he still have questions?

    When you upgraded to 10.10 you run an update on the printer itself as well?

    If you press anything on the printer it wakes up or have you turn off and on again?

    Let me know that information and I'll throw an extra eye in the things for you

    If you are using Snow Leopard or Lion and you have the HP software before Snow Leopard (either from a CD not marked as compatible with 10.6 or you recently upgraded to Snow Leopard or Lion and had the software HP on your Mac before you upgrade - even if you made a standard from the old software uninstaller or installed new software on top of it) , you must uninstall the software by using the "scrubber":

    Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP
    Click on continue
    Highlight your device in the left pane
    Press and hold Ctrl + Alt + Cmd keys on the keyboard at the same time as you click on uninstall< this="" is="" the="" scrubber="" option,="" there="" is="" no="" button="" labeled="">
    There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall all hp software. (At this point, if you continue, all HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
    Click on continue and let it finish

    Restart your Mac

    Now reset the printing system:

    -Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
    -Right (control) click inside the box that lists your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - This will remove ALL your printers!
    -Select the sign + to add again. Search for the printer, select it, and wait until the button 'Add' becomes available. Until it clicks.

  • 6500 printer all-in-one wireless

    I am a 73 year old who has learned to use a computer later than most. I know not enough for operating a computer, but I am not a technician. I bought a 6500 all in one wireless and worked with her for two weeks and could never make it work so I took it back. I love what did the printer, if only I could get it to work properly. I don't know that I'm the problem and not the mechanism.

    When I loaded the software on two computers, they would work wirless, but the bureau which has been connected to the router does not recognize the printer. After that all efforts exausted the mistake of reinstalling software would be developed. If I used the usb cable to load the software into the computer connected to the router, it would work, but the wireless would not work. Same error message. After thinking about this topic, I think I told the installer to use the usb cable in the router computer which clogged to the top of the installation wireless for the other two and the opposite for the spoiled wireless units a cable installation. I never tried plugging the eithernet cable.

    I would like to start again and see if I can feel comfortable to install. If so, I'll go and rebuy to the printer.

    My situation: I have a desktop Dell that is connected through router a BEFW 11 S 4 Linksys. My incoming signal is provided by Charter Communications cable. I have another unit of Dell desktop at home and a laptop that I want to connect wireless.

    Question: Can I connect the printer directly to the router with an eithernet cable and run the other two wireless units? I learned by a sales person (after that I came back from the printer) that if I simply connected the printer to the router thur the eithernet port it would be on my network and the Bureau recognise. Then the other two computers would connect wirelessly.

    Had no answers. Did you get any help. The printer took over and my money back. The pain is useless. Thank you very much.

It can show you the price you can pay online and see the you the specifications of different printers and the features that are available so that you can compare them and get an idea of what all-in-one printer is right for you and will be able to better meet your needs.

  • HP Officejet 7410 all-in-One (wireless) will not be in service - seems frozen

    This afternoon the power came out in my office at home and after it was restored that my 7410 all-in-One printer stops working (bought in 2005).  I have unplugged and replugged and all I get is a blue screen on the digital screen with a circle with a line at 12:00 and the number 00000020 on the bottom.  The slight camera close the slots for memory cards also flashes on and outside.  No other light.  (Earlier the digital monitor comes to show the HP logo and a kind of hourglass linear downstairs).

    The Start button does not, not even if I press on during a long period.  Is there a way I can manually reset the printer?  Help, please.  I need to get out a presentation tomorrow!  Thank you very much.

    Yes, press on and cancel at the same time.  Got the FixYa.com site response.  Good luck.

  • Cannot find driver for HP 2710 all-in-one anywhere that works.

    I read the questions / answers on the printer drivers for my new laptop with Windows 7 and it seems that nothing is exhists for my HP 2710 all-in-one.   The driver that Windows only supports the printer, not the scanner or fax.  Many answers recommend to contact HP for the pilot, but HPs response is to use that Microsoft has in the computer.

    I don't know why Microsoft Gets a complete driver for this popular all-in-one printer.  My new Mac Book in their OS and it will interface with all functions beautifully.  He finds the printer, scanner and fax and installed the flawless drivers.   Now that I bought a PC even once, it's frustrating to find that Microsoft has yet to produce a stable product compatible XP that was at least good support with software companies and hardware.   Should I really buy all new software and equipment to own a PC these days?

    Just in case where you were not already in the running of it here is a link to HP described as workaround to make the scanner and fax from the HP 2710 works with the driver included in Windows 7:http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01796736&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=4062&product=420428&sw_lang=&key=null&site=null#N341
