HP 8600 all in one stopped printing on MACbook pro with OS 10.7.5

My printer was working fine for the first couple of months and now I have to turn it off and on to get it to print. It has perfect connection to the internet as does my computer. Have rebooted the Wi-Fi etc.  That only lasts about a day at best.  I have even done an unistall of all HP and reinstalled the printer software. That worked for 12 pages (2 print jobs) - now back to square one. Is there a way to keep it from booting my jobs into print limbo?

Hi kbspr1,
Hard to tell what's going on with it at the moment... I'm thinking it's either the printer's wireless hardware, or something with the IP address.
I'll link two documents that I refer to often for troubleshooting - hopefully following those steps helps your printer.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 All-In-One Inkjet Printer

    Hello, I have an HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 All-In-One Inkjet Printer.  It started out working fine, but the touchscreen got lighter and lighter and would finally go out.  Now, I cannot see the screen at all and therefore am unable to use the printer.  I tried to delete the printer from my computer and reload the driver, but the driver requires that I use the touchscreen to initiate installation of the wireless capabilities and so forth.  Without being able to have the touchscreen light up, I am unable to see and follow the directions to hook it back up to the computer.  Any ideas?  Does HP make a replacement touchscreen for this product?  I bought this one because I have another one that works perfectly at home and was hoping to use this one at work.  Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @Wayne3
    I saw your post about how the display screen on your Officejet 8600 has gotten lighter and lighter until the display was unreadable. I have a few ideas in mind that might help you.
    Update the firmware on the printer with a USB cable plugged into the printer, and computer.
    Click here to download the firmware update: HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a Firmware
    Try a power reset and ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help greatly.
    Press the Power button to turn on the product.
    With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
    If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
    I hope the steps help you! If the screen continues to have the same problem, give us a call to see what your printer options are:
    Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assis​t.html

  • Pcs 1610 all in one stops printing in middle of web page prints shows error-rese​t on q.

    when i try to print coupons and other web page prints printing starts then stops in the middle of page the read out on the printer shows printing when i try to either turn off or cancel print out on the printer nothing happens i can only unplug printer to get it to release. also must cancel document in q. to remove problem.  paid iyogi big bucks they say it must be hardware, and of course it is long out of warranty. XP system

    I'm having trouble finding a product for the HP 4550 all-in-one.  I can find an HP 4550 laserjet and an HP Photosmart c4500 series printers.  Can you provide more detail about the product?
    Looking at your post and the fact that the shadow appeared after you replaced the black cartridge, I wonder if this is caused because your cartridges aren't aligned.  If your product has a LCD screen, look for an option to align your cartridges - likely under 'tools' or something like that in the menu.  Try aligning the cartridges and see if that helps.
    If you can provide some more details about your product, I could point you to more detailed alignment steps.

  • All Music & Videos stop working on Macbook Pro

    I've had my 15" Macbook Pro for 6 months now. If my Macbook has been on for a while, at some point all media randomly stops working; when Quicktime tries to open a file it opens it partially and freezes at the "loading movie" sign. If iTunes is already open before this problem occurs, it will work fine, but if I close iTunes & try to open it again it will crash and I'll have to force quit it. Videos and music in web browsers such as Firefox and Safari either won't work or causes the browsers to crash. Along with this programs like Photobooth crash. The only hint I've got to what's going on is that when I open After Effects after all this happens it freezes upon opening whilst "initialising Media Core," and Sibelius does the same whilst "Initialising Playback System"
    So I'm guessing there's something wrong with my Macbook Pro's "media core"/"playback system".
    The only way to sort this problem out is to log out & log back in again, but after a while the same thing happens and all media stops working. Having to close all my applications to log out and log back in again can get really annoying. This problem started about a month or so ago and I have no idea what triggered it or how to fix it.
    I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this sort of behaviour with their Mac and know how to fix it?
    Thank You.

    I would try some basic repairs and see if that helps.
    Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
    After that Repair Permissions.
    No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.

  • 8600 all in one not printing wireless

    My 8600 printer is not printing wireless.  We moved and it was set up with the new router and it printed once.  It has not printed since.  I have turned it off and back on.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled.  I did scan doctor and it told me to uninstall and reinstall.  I can look at the info online after typing in the IP address and it all looked ok.  I still cannot print.  Please help!  I am not very computer savy.  I cannot print e-mails, from a web site, or word.  Thanks!

    Hi @mtmom  , and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're experiencing wireless connectivity issues.  I would love to try and help you, but I do need a little information first. I am linking a few HP Support documents below that will show you how to find which operating system you are using. Also, if you're using Windows, please include whether your operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit.
    Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
    Which Windows operating system am I running?
    Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
    I would also recommend this document on Wireless printing center Troubleshooting Issues.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • 8600 all in one not printing

    First off, I am very technically challenged..My printer is connected by wireless to two computers. Both are not able to print anything. They both printed until we put a new computer in then one worked for a little while and the older one worked. Now neither works.The light on the port in the back where the ethernet wire is connected is lit at the bottom part of the port and flashes intermittintly at the top part. The connection does not snap in.Is this most likely a harware problem? Is there something that I can do as an easy test? Is replacing the port something that can be done at Best Buy or the like? The printer is 2-3 years  old and we have loved it up until now...Thank you

    HI ,
    I noticed that you're experiencing issues when printing to your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Printer. I understand that the trouble started when you got a new computer. I would like to look into this for you today. We're looking at the possiblity that the new computer is interfering with the printer's IP Address on the Network. Let's see, if we can identify the cause. I see that you mentioned in your post, Wireless and Wired connection. How is the printer connected? (Ethernet/Wireless) Here's a document I would recommend that you try, An 'Unable to Find Printer' Error Displays for the HP Officejet Pro 251dw, 276dw, and 8600 Printer Series.
    Try the HP Print and Scan Doctor to help identify and fix common problems when installing or using HP s on your home network. What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages). Note:  You might need to follow this guide for both of the computers. I recommend following it to the end, and then try printing from both machines.
    Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. I look forward to hearing from you. Good Luck!

  • PSC 2355 all in one stopped printing after windows 8.1 upgrade scan is OK.

    I have a HP psc2355 printer which was working happliy in Window 8. I downloaded and installed 8.1 from windows store and the printer no longer works!

    No problem with printer until today. Suddenly error message appears. "Remove and check right cartridge."  Of course, I did that, several times, but with no effect. No ideas?

    Try the troubleshooting steps in this page.  If the x-bais spring is dislodged as sown in Figure 11 then check the flex circuitry.  If the flex is not damaged you may be able to use eopxy to put the x-bias spring back in place.  If the flex is damaged as in (2) below you will need to repair or replace the printer.

  • Adobe Reader 9.0 will not print on Macbook Pro with OS X 10.6

    I have the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and when printing labels or other pdf's, Adobe Reader 9.0 just sits there, doesn't even acknowledge that I am trying to print.  When I open the print queue, it says trying to print, loading data but sits forever.  If I print from Preview and other apps, it works fine, so it's obviously an Adobe issue with the new Macs.  Any suggestions for this non-technical person that just wants to print?  Thanks.

    If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient permissions or have other problems with updating to update then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded

  • Hp officejet pro 8600 all in one prints but won't scan

    I have recently moved house and changed my wireless router from BT to Virgin.
    I am running OS X 10.9.5
    I am able to print from my mac without issue, however, it has stopped scanning. I have managed to get it to work twice on isolated instances but it won't work consistently.
    I have unistalled the software and reinstalled via the HP download page but when I open HP Scan and click scan it asks me to choose which scanner - mine is selected, it then says preparing to scan and it does that for ages until it says it can't get a connection.
    My printe r is a HP Officejet Pro 8600 All-in-one N911g - I am not bothered that much about scanning from the printer to the computer (I have tried to enable this option and it won't let me) I just want to be able to open HP Scan and press scan and it scan on my computer.
    Any advice appreciated - thank you

    Hi there @Steph390 , welcome to the forums!
    I have some suggestions for you to hopefully correct the scanning issue you are having. Please feel free to reply back and let me know the results!
    1. Try power cycling the network devices:
    Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
    Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer.
    2. Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
    3. Repair disk permissions
    4. Restart your computer.
    5. Re-add the printer
    Once the printer is connected on the network, follow these steps to maintain the wireless connection, normally a static IP will help out quite a bit: Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection
    Good luck to you
