HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus losing wireless connectivity, cannot scan to computer

In our office, we have roughly 4 computers using the HP Officeject Pro 8600 Plus, all of which are connected wirelessly. The printer was previously connected to the internet wirelessly with no problems. A couple of days ago however our computers started randomly disconnecting. The printing function would work for a bit, then disconnect. I found the only solution to this problem was to hit the button on our wireless router that resends the wireless signal out for connectivity.
We hardwired the printer with an ethernet cable and I myself didn't see any further problems regarding connectivity but a couple of the other computers had spotty connections. Again, each time this can be remedied by hitting the button on the wireless router.
Today however we had an additional problem, after trying to scan a document through the automatic document feeder, the printer said it was jammed (although it wasnt). When we went to rescan, the scan to computer function was no longer working. I can scan by hitting the scan button on my HP Printer Assitant interface, and I can also scan to email, but cannot scan to computer.
I have gone through several forums and haven't been able to find a solution. I personally use Windows 8, but other people in our office are using older versions of Windows. We've tried unplugging, restarting, hardwiring, resetting wireless settings, uninstalling, etc. etc. Before a few days ago the pritner was working fine for a number of months.
If anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated.

Hi rtaw,

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus - no wireless connection

Hi,
I am now onto my second HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. The previous one froze entirely. This one switches on ok, but is unable to connect to my wireless router (even when it is inches away from the router). The blue wireless indicator is constantly flashing, and when I try to set up the wireless connection is just says "searching" and the screen never changes. I have tried restoring factory defaults and restoring network defaults.
Does anyone have a solution please?
Glynn

You are not connecting to your wireless router if the blue (wireless) light is flashing. Move the printer to 3 feet away from the router. Set the router to a fixed wireless channel like 1, 6 or 11 never 'auto' try all three. Use 20 Mhz only or 145Mbps depending on the router. Power cycle both. Connect to your SSID using WPA2-AES encryption with your password. Have to connect to the router successfully first.

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus won't print or scan wirelessly using Mac OS 10.

Mac OS 10.9
Wireless
My printer was working fine until today. Then when I used the control panel to scan a page I went through the steps and got to scanning and got the message I needed to enable "Scan to Computer" in the HP Utility. I went there and it was unchecked. Seems I had this problem every time I did a new scan job in the past. It wouldn't retain than check. So I checked it and after awhile I got the message "Communication Error" and to check my connections and if that didn't work restart my computer and printer. I did that and also restarted the router but it didn't help.
Then I tried printing from Word, which has always worked but it didn't this time. The printer icon on the right of the dock came up, bounced a few times then disappeared with nothing happening on the printer.
So I deleted and reinstalled the printer. No help. I downloaded and installed HP software and firmware updates. No help. I went through wireless setup. No help
BTW, all along I got good "Wireless Network Test" results. I says it's connected but nothing happens when I try any functions of the printer.
If I can find a USB cable I will try to see if wired works.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey @neoflyer,
I would like to assist you today with resolving the wireless printing and scanning issues you're experiencing on your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer on your Mac OS X 10.9 Operating System. You mentioned that you have powercycled the devices, reran the wireless setup, and uninstalled and reinstalled the software and drivers to no avail. I'm going to suggest a few additional troubleshooting steps to verify if this is a computer issue or a network issue.
Step 1: Gather the IP and Open the EWS:
1. On the screen of your printer select the wireless button:
2. Under the Wireless information you should see your IP address
3. Open up your internet browser on your Mac computer and in the website address bar just type in your IP address. Please do not include www.
4. After you enter your IP address in the website bar go to that website
5. If the website for your printer opens than that proves with 100% certainty that your printer and computer are 'talking' to each other on your wireless network. If the website fails to open than you have a network communication issue with your router.
If the website fails to open please powercycle your network again:
How to Properly Powercycle a Network:
First, unplug the power cable to your Router
Once your Router is unplugged, turn off your printer
Next, shut down your computer
After 30 seconds to 1 minutes, plug your Router back in
Next, turn on your printer
Turn on the computer
After a few moments check on your computer and ensure that the internet is working. Once it is, hit the wireless button again on the printer to see if your printer got a new IP address. Using the IP address enter it in the address bar of your internet browser and now see if the website for the printer opens.
If the website for the printer opens successfully please follow the steps below:
Step 1: Uninstall Drivers and Software:
From the computer desktop, double-click the Macintosh HD, and then click Applications.
Click the Hewlett-Packard folder.
Double-click the HP Uninstaller, and then click Continue.
Select the product to uninstall, and then click Uninstall.
When prompted, type the Administrator name and Password, and then click OK.
From the Macintosh HD menu, click Users.
Click the correct user name.
Click Library.
Click Preferences.
Click and hold the cursor on the first file that starts with "HP," and then drag the file to the Trash icon on the taskbar. Complete this step for each file that starts with "HP."
Close out of Preferences.
Click the Trash icon on the taskbar, click the Empty button, and then click OK to empty the trash.
Step 2: Verify and Repair your Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Open Macintosh HD and go to Applications
Go to the Utilities Folder
Open the Disk Utility
Select the Hard Drive volume you are using (usually on the left)
Select Verify Disk Permissions
Once that process is done, select Repair Disk Permissions
Step 3: Check for Apple Updates:
Go to Apple
Select System Preferences
Select Software Update
Click Update Now
Install your available updates
Restart your computer
Step 4: Reinstall your Software and Drivers:
1. Please click the following link to download the appropriate Mac OS X 10.9 drivers for your printer: Mac: HP Officejet Pro 8600 series Full Feature Software and Drivers
2. Once downloaded, run through the step by step screens to reinstall your network printer
3. Once the printer is reinstalled, attempt a print and a scan!
Please let me know if these steps resolved your issue. Thanks for reaching out to the HP Support Forums. Good luck!

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus - Apps Error - 'Connection Error'

Hi,
Newbie question maybe, but it's got me a little stumped.
I've an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus on a wired connection to my Sky router/ADSL modem, using a static IP.
when I go into Apps it pulls down a list of the installed Apps OK, but when I select any one from the printer control pad it tries to connect then throws an error. I can;t see a place I should set anythign up.
I have a woerkign hp ePrint Center account, ePrint works (eventually!) when I email docs to my eprint email address, adn also via Google Cloud Print and Apple AirPrint. While it;s not ruining my life, I would like all of the printer functions to work :-)
I can print to a network folder, as long as it;s on a PC, although my NAS it won;t print to for some reason, but I guess that's a further question :-)
Any help very much appreciated!!!!
MF668

Hi MF668,
Try setting an alternative DNS and check if that may help:
Press the wireless icon on the top of the printer screen and locate tis IP address.
Browse to the printer's IP through the web browser on your PC.
Click the Network tab.
Under Wired click on IPv4.
Under DNS Address Configuration select Manual.
Set the Preferred address as 8.8.8.8
Set the Alternate address as 8.8.4.4
Click Apply to confirm the change.
Now turn the printer Off and back On and check for any difference.

Missing HP Utility (Officejet Pro 8600 Plus); need to reinstall - cannot uninstall printer software

I had to wipe my iMac and resinstall IOS Mavericks (10.9.5). Printer (Officejet Pro 8600 Plus, 9N11g) is working, but will no longer scan (double-clicking icon results in "original item cannot be found") and the HP utility icon on dock is missing, replaced with a "?." I located directions to uninstall printer software so I can reinstall... but there is no longer any HP folder or "HP Uninstaller" on my Mac HD. Neither is there an HP folder within Library/Printers folders. Spotlight search shows no HP or Hewlett-Packard folders on my hard drive.
I have downloaded an "HPPPrinterDrivers3.0.dmg" and "HP-Injket-SW-OSX-Mavericks_v12.34.37.dmg," one of which I'm hoping will contain updated software/drivers to reinstall the printer and hopefully the HP Utility so I can regain scanning function, but I cannot figure out how to remove the current printer software, and I do not know if those are the currect files to use. I understand just deleting the printer will not suffice.
Can anyone provide step-by-step instructions on how to remove the software as well as installation (since I am unclear if I have the correct dmg files)? Thank you.
This question was solved.

Hi,
First I would suggest repairing the disk permissions, then try reinstalling the HP Software.
Follow the steps below to repair the disk permissions:
1. Open the the Applications folder.
2. Go to the Utilities folder.
3. Double-click on Disk Utility.
4. Select the hard drive containing the boot volume.
5. Go to the First Aid tab and select Repair Disk Permissions.
Note: This process may take several minutes depending on the Mac and amount of permissions that need to be repaired. The Progress Log will indicate when the process has been completed.
Once you are done, run the HP-Injket-SW-OSX-Mavericks_v12.34.37.dmg file and follow the steps on screen, be sure to select the HP Scan option while installing to get full functionality of the software.
Please try the steps above and let me know the results,

HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 - will print wirelessly but not scan on Windows 8.1. HP PC

Hello,
my HP printer and HP computer have been working perfectly but now all of a sudden I cannot scan anymore from my printer to my computer. I can print and scan the other way around and the wireless network works. I am just a regular user and don't feel sure about how to uninstall and re-install programs, so I would be very happy if you had just a simple fix
I already tried closing down everything and unplugging the router, then plugging the router and turning everything on again but it didn't help.

Hi @gabmus,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that you can print but not scan wirelessly with your HP Officejet pro 8600 on Windows 8.1. I am happy to help you with your scanning issue!
To verify the printer's hardware is working, are you able to make copies with the printer? Copying a Multipage Original.
In the meantime, please go through the steps in this scanning guide, A 'Connection Error' or 'No Computer Detected' Error Message Displays When Scanning for HP Officejet....
Hope this helps, and have a great day!

WiFi Wireless Setup Wizard produces Blue Screen of Death on Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

The wireless setup wizard on my Officejet Pro 8600 Plus is failing immediately after "scanning for networks". I get a blue screen of death with error message B8494B00, followed by "turn printer on and off" with flashing screen.
I bought the printer about one month ago and it has worked perfectly so far. My Apple Time Capsule failed yesterday, so I bought a new one (latest model) and had to set up the wireless network again. When I tried to do so on the printer, I got the error for the first time. Nothing else had changed. Other devices are working with no problems on the new network. The computer is an Apple iMac running OS Mountain Lion.
I have tried turning the printer on and off, disconnecting the power and reconnecting, then turning it on again, but no result. I have restored the wireless to factory settings, but no difference.
Please help.

Right off I have to tell you I do not "speak Mac".
I assume the "Apple Time Capsule" is a name for a network router? A syncing device?
Unless I am mistaken:
You do not need the Wizard to set up the network -- it is pretty software for an HP PC; when it works, it can make things easier. The setup Wizard is not necessary for the process. I should think this is true for the Mac.
=====================================================================================
If you cannot get someone from the Printing group to answer your specific concern,
you may have succes with the following:
The User Guide has pretty good detail on how to set up the networking necessary to get the printer connected to either a PC or Mac environment. Assuming you can get the printer to "Reset network settings" (User Guide, page 222), then you can re-enter the information you require manually. It is a bit tedious, but is may work better than fighting the Wizard.
OfficeJet Pro 8600 User Guide
You may be able to circumvent sone or all of this by reinstalling the Full Feature Software for your printer -- that assumes you are first able to "reset network settings", at least, and get a printout test page to verify that the reset actually worked.

OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus Connection Issues

My boss stricly uses his iPad and has the Officejet Pro 8600 Plus for wireless printing. However, he's been having major problems printing. The iPad appears to see the printer on AirPrint, but nothing is getting printed. We've tried connecting the printer directly to our network, and it still won't print. We even got a new wireless router (Linksys E900 Wirless-N300 Router) but that has not seemed to help with the issue. I previously had the officejet 8500 and had multiple problems with it connecting wireless, to the point we just got rid of it. Are there any workarounds other than getting a new printer?

Hi,
Airprint uses Apple's Bonjour which relies on Multicasting.
From my experience, Linksys routers do not have Multicast enabled by their default configuration.
Try modifying the router configuration by entering the router homepage (Its address should be the same as the Default Gateway listed on the printer once clicking the network icon.
From the router config click Security.
Check the checkbox next to Filter Multicast and Save the settings.
Reboot the router and check for any change.
If the issue persists I would also recommend checing for any firmware update to your router, those can improve Multicast traffic handaling in many cases..
Hope that helps,
Shlomi

Printing from Motorola Xoon tablet to Officejet Pro 8600 Plus via Android ePrint app

Hello!
My Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer
- is connected to my Laptop (Win7 64bit) via USB cable
- is connected to my router via WLAN
- is configured to use ePrint with a registered mail address
My Motorola Xoom tablet3
- has Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4 installed as operating system
- has the HP ePrint Home&Biz app installed
ePrint
- ePrint app is configured
- the app identified/shows my printer as it should
- I successfully registered to ePrint on the HP website
- I am using a registered mail address for connection between app and ePrint online
As soon as I select a document on my tablet and try to print it,
- the app shows up a "rendering document" message for a short time
- a preview of the document should show up, but it doesn't!!
- I can see the selected document as "pending" print job
- no documents will be printed
- pending documents can't be deleted and remain in the tablet's display
So, I desparately need help! Why does my printer not receive or print the documents from the Xoom tablet?
Thanks a lot for your help!

I understand that It was not a problem with the connection. When dealing with wireless networks, it is always a good idea to set a static IP. It makes things more stable. The reason I told you to enter Google's DNS was not to connect you to Google. All a DNS does is create a pathway to the internet. Once any device finds the internet via the DNS it then goes where it is supposed to. It just uses the DNS as a referance for the internet. Web services should work fine with your router DNS, I have just had more success using Google's public DNS.
You never mentioned wether you did all the power cycling that I asked you too. I know it does not make sense, but power cycling everything on the network so it can all reconnect fresh, solves most issues like this one. However, if you have power cycled everything and you are still having issues, then try removing the Xoom and the printer from the network, and reconnecting them. Sometime, you have to completely remove the printer and mobile device from the networks and reattach them before they will comunicate.
If none of that works, you may need to call the cloud services department to have them take a look at the issue. You can find the number by logging into your ePrintCenter.com acount and looking under the help section. When you get an agent on the phone make sure to tell them everything you have done, so they do not have you do the same steps. Honestly at this point if it is not working the next step is a semi-full reset, which will cause you to loose your ePrint email address, as well as reset everything back to factory settings on the printer. I am not allowed to share how to semi-full the printer via the forums, however the phone agents can walk you through one.

Troubleshoot scan to email officejet pro 8600 plus

printer cannot connect to the server. Name and address both verified by ISP. any other suggestions?

Hello kaybe123,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
It appears that you are unable to Scan to Email with the Officejet Pro 8600 Plus, getting server connection errors. I would like to offer a few suggestions that I hope will help you get this working.
Check for updates on the printer, Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates.
Power off the printer and ensure the power cord is connected to a wall out let.
Next you want to power reset the router. If it has a power button press that, if not, remove the power cord. Wait 60 seconds and then allow it to power back up. Once router is fully on, power up the printer.
Test the Scan to Email, if it works there is no need to continue. If it doesn't, try the next suggestion.
Refer to this Thread answered by a colleague of mine happytohelp01 : Efax 7510 still won't work after turning off/on ePrint several times. Follow the steps to setup a Manual I.P and DNS for the printer over the network. The steps will be the same, if not very similar for your printer as the one in the above post.
Try to Scan to Email once done. If still unable to Scan to Email, continue below.
Go back to the above Thread, rather than using the DNS suggested try this set; Primary DNS Server : 209.244.0.3 & Secondary DNS Server : 209.244.0.4.
Try to Scan to Email, if the feature is still not working you will need to call HP's Cloud Support team. If you live in the USA/Canada, 1-855-785-2777. If you live outside the USA/Canada, click HERE to find the Technical Support number for your country/region.
Best of luck.

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus - Scan software doesn't have 8.5x11 letter size option

Just bought a new Officejet Pro 8600 Plus.
The included HP Scan software will only let me choose A4 or A5 paper sizes (as well as 6x4, 7x5, 8x6, 10x8). No 8.5x11 option, which is what I want to use most often. (this is from the dropdown options after clicking the "Scan..." button)
Is there something I'm missing? I'm generally pretty good at figuring this stuff out, but I haven't even seen this issue mentioned on forums, so I'm confused.
Also, when using the Scan To Computer function directly from the printer, I get the same result - it will scan my 8.5x11 document and output an A4 size file.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8. I have installed all software and firmware updates I could find. I have my printer's region set to Canada, and bought the machine from a Staples in Canada. Wondering why I can't use any North American size formats?

@Simple1234 - I have reinstalled the software from HP's website, and no change. (it's actually the same version that came on the installation CD - 12.23).
@Sethaniel - I have definitely tried every combination of settings in those drop down lists, so that's not it.
Ruling out OS issues, my girlfriend is running 10.8, and the HP software is doing the same thing on her computer.
Using the System Preferences scanning method, I can choose paper sizes if set to scan from document feeder. If I change to flatbed, I have the option to manually type in the dimensions I want, but then I'm forced to manually drag the crop area to which 8.5x11 portion of the flatbed it will scan. Again, there's no way to just have the flatbed scan a letter size document automatically when placing the page at the top corner of the flatbed, where it shows you to place the page for letter size.
This seems like the most basic function of a scanner! I'm really perplexed by this. I would imagine most people in north america would just want to place an 8.5x11 sheet of paper on the flatbed and have an easy way to scan the correct size with no added fuss.
Printing works fine, and I can choose letter size, and many adjustable settings, so I think this is just a problem with HP's scanning software. I have tried all the usual basic steps, like restarting my computer & the printer, reinstalling software, running software update, looking through all the settings in the HP Scan software, any global settings I could change in System Preferences, tried using a different computer and OS X version, googling the issue, and posting on this forum.
Any other ideas?

Poor image quality when scanning coins with officejet pro 8600 plus

I recently upgraded my printer from an HP 2210 to and HP officejet pro 8600 plus. image quality on coin scans is terrible.
I have tried scanning both with the HP software and with windows 7 fax and scan software
I have saved images as BMP, JPG, PNG, and TIFF
I have used resolutions from 300 dpi to 1200 DPI
All give me similar unacceptable results.
Images are better when scanned flat on the scanner than when in slabbed holders, and from this I am guessing that the plastic is somehow interfering wiht the scan. Either that, or there is a very shallow depth of field so that even moving the coin a few mm away from the glass moves it out of focus. But even a raw coin placed directly on the glass has significantly worse image quality than the old 2100.
The first image is a coin scanned with the old 2100. The second has been scanned in a similar slab by the 8600

Hi terry_renee,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I am happy to help you with this scanning issue! I did a test with an HP Officejet 8600, at 1200 dpi, and no plastic covering. Just the quarter on the glass, and we cropped it to the quarter. This is the result.
I have a few questions for you:
What Operating System are you using for scanning? Windows or Mac? What version?
What scanning software are you using?
Are you scanning from the computer, or the printer's control panel?
Hope to hear back from you, and have a great day!

Hp officejet pro 8600 plus - connected to the wireless but AirPrint not working

i have an hp officejet pro 8600 plus. had it for 6 months or so. intial setup went fine...connected to the wireless network with no problems...airprint worked instantly from all of my apple devices. recently, in the last 3 weeks, airprint has stopped working. when i turn the printer off and turn it back on, airprint will work for about 5 minutes. but then it stops working. it is like the printer is losing wireless connectivity, but the wirless diagnostics show it to be connected fine.
i have an apple airport exptreme router. it is showing to be connected just fine to the network and i can see the printer's mac address as a wireless client in the Airport Utility.
any ideas?

Hi henryje,
Sorry to hear you are experiencing these issues. I would be glad to help.
Try changing the channel on the AirPort Extreme router to channel 11 or any channel that seem less congested.
You can check you network channel environment by printing a Network Configuration page from the Wireless Settings menu on printer front panel. The second page of the printout will display all detected networks by the printer listed by signal strength. You can also use InSSIDer: http://www.techspot.com/downloads/5936-inssider.html
Printers also do not support the 5GHz band, so if your network uses 5GHz only, you can disable this in the AirPort Extreme router config page.
