HP Officejet Pro 8610 Network Name

Dear HP Folks,
We have several printers in a small business network. I would like to give each printer a unique name without having to set it up on each individual computer.
I've logged into the printer and in the advanced network tab, set the Bonjour Service Name, but the printer still shows up with the generic name. What am I missing?
Please help!
Thank you in advance.

Hi @melaniewest
Instead of selecting and changing the Bonjour Service name, change the Host name. I am certain you can do this in the Embedded Web Server, but you can also make this change right on the front panel of the printer if that is easier.
On the printer screen, scroll over to and select Setup, then select Network Setup, then Wireless Settings. Scroll down to Advanced Settings, the to Host name, and touch Change.
Please let me know if this resolves your inquiry. Thanks.

HP Officejet Pro 8610 (Network)' is offline every morning

I am running Windows 8. I use IE 11 and Chrome on occasion. Every morning I have trouble "waking up" my printer. I get "HP Officejet Pro 8610 (Network)' is offline". Sometimes turning the printer on and off resets it but today nothing seems to work. I even updated drivers. The rest of my network (excluding printer usage) is working fine. I have not been on a public network so that is not an issue nor has anyone else in our household. I need to correct this every morning problem. Really, any time the printer goes to sleep I have this issue. I'm unsure if I can stop it from going to sleep or not since I can't even see it from any of our computers. Someone please help. I've been dealing with this about a month. I had previously purchased an Epson printer similar and it now sits in a box in my office because of similiar annoying issues. I previously had HP all-in-ones for about 15 years with no problems. This one is starting to make me wonder about the declining quality of HP printers. Please help as soon as possible. My son has a paper due Tuesday and can't print it. Thanks

Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand your Officejet 8610 is offline every morning and it seems like this printer has trouble waking up. I will do my best to assist you! Please follow this entire HP document on What is Sleep Mode? You can try updating the firmware, which should help, since your printer is losing wireless connection when it goes to sleep: 1) Press the right arrow on your printer2) Press Setup (Wrench)3) Press Web Services4) Press Printer update and check for update now Make sure this printer is plugged into a direct wall, not a surge protector. I just want to see if this makes a difference. Another option you have is setting up schedule on and off. This will help with the sleep mode, as you will determine what time you would like this printer to turn and off. Note-If you decided to go down this route, if you receive faxes all the time, schedule on/off might not be a good idea. If you set a time frame when this printer is supposed to turn off, then you will not receive a fax. Also, if ePrint is enabled, this feature will not work. 1) Press the setup menu (Wrench)2) Press power management3) Press Schedule On Yes and set the time frame4) Press Schedule Off Yes and set the time frame I just want to make sure that your printer isn't going offline because of your router, not by the sleep mode. Just in case, I will provide an HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. This will allow you to set a static IP address. Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

HP Officejet Pro 8610 does not connect to laptop via wireless network

I have a new HP Officejet Pro 8610. It is connected wirelessly to my home network. My laptop, running Windows 7, is connected to the same network, but cannot find the printer. I have tried turning everything off and resetting the router, but still have the same issue - my laptop cannot find the printer.
I am able to email a document from my laptop to the printer using the printer's email address.
What can I do to get my laptop to find the printer on the wireless network?

Hey!
This is an issue with your wireless, you either have to get your router looked at you are looking at relocating your printer and your router so they are closer together. If you are able to connect all of your devices to the network fine when you are in the same room; Call HP Technical Phone Support.
If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
HP printers generally have a 1 year warranty from their purchase date, you can verify the warranty using the following link if you would like; warranty check.
I hope this helps.

HP Officejet Pro 8610 Unsuccessful Network Installation

I just purchased a new HP Officejet Pro 8610. I was able to install its software on two of our three computers, but the third gives the error messages "Unsuccessful Network Installation" and "The printer was unable to be installed over the network." I've tried the HP diagnostic tool without success.
For whatever it's worth, the two computers that were succesful are using Windows 8. The unsuccessful computer is using Windows 8.1. It is an HP Envy 20.

Hello Engidad, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing installation issues. I would like to help.
I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once it is uninstalled, I would suggest putting your system into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration. You can do so by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would suggest reinstalling the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: Contact HP Worldwide.

Officejet Pro 8610 - Can't connect to wireless network (and has similar issue with previous printer)

When I returned from a trip, I was unable to connect to my trusty HP All-in-one 7510 that I had on my network for three years. I tried troubleshooting it, reinstalling the software on numerous computers, and fixing the printer, but alas the printer said that it was connected to the network, and none of my computers wanted to find it anymore.
Then I bought my new Officejet Pro 8610 this week, set it up...and I am experiencing the same issue. I tried using the link and support took from this post - http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Officejet-Pro-8610-Can-t-connect-to-wi... but the printer was unable to be found on the network.
I would appreciate any help on this issue. Thanks!

Hello @Celestialnova ,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are having problems with your wireless network.
I would like to help.
Since the same issue happened with two different model of printers, lets take a moment to check the network.

Times New Roman font will not print on HP Officejet Pro 8610

My new HP Officejet Pro 8610 will not print documents, spreadsheets, or printer test pages containing Times New Roman font (of any size). It does not put a job in the print queue. In Excel, I receive the "Generic_2_Q294552" error message. My setup: An HP Pavilion Elite computer NY809AV-ABA e9119t; running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1; HP Laserjet 5L, HP PCS 1310, and HP D4360 all print the font just fine. My new printer: HP Officejet Pro 8610, firmware revision FDP1CN1502AR, connected via USB cable. [Also connected via ethernet cable to cable modem.] What I have done so far to troubleshoot the last 3 days: Reinstalled the printer (3 times), the most recent today with an installer issued today; rebooted the printer; rebooted the computer after each significant change; updated the firmware in the printer; tried two different USB cables; tried printing the fonts in Microsoft Word 7, Microsoft Excel 7, and directly from the font file; reinstalled the Times New Roman fonts from backup; visited the forums and tried all of the solutions I could for any similar problem; tried the winprint, hpzppw71, and hpzpplhn print processors with both RAW and NT EMF 1.008 data types; found and repaired all problems I could find with any hardware and software, as well as updating all software to the latest version.

Thanks for trying to help. I am happy to report my experiments and results. Microsoft Word:I open a blank document. Type something in. Select the entire text. Change the font. When I change to some fonts (those listed on my DOES print) the document shows up in the print queue and prints. When I change to the other fonts (those listed as DOES NOT print) nothing happens. It just sits there. No messages. No crash. Nothing in the print queue. I can walk away for hours (as I have done) and come back and nothing has happened. When I change back to a DOES print font it prints. Change it back to a DOES NOT print font and it doesn't. Repeatable. Consistent. No configuration changes or installs have changed it. Microsoft Excel:I open a black spreadsheet. Type something in. Highlight the entire text. Change the font. When I change to a DOES print font it prints. When I change to a DOES NOT print font I get this: "Microsoft Office Excel Your file could not be printed due to an error on HP Officejet Pro 861 on 0. There are several possible reasons:. There may not be enough memory available. Try closing files and programs you aren't using.. If you use a network for printing, there may be a problem with the network connection or the printer driver.. There may be loose cables or a bad connection between your computer and printer.For more information about troubleshooting printing problems, chick Help. Show Help >>" when I click the Show Help >> button I get: "This error can be caused by:
General problems: The printer may be unavailable, the network may be down, the communication port to the printer may be corrupt or unavailable, a hardware error at the computer may have occurred (out of paper, paper jam, out of ink, out of toner, etc), and a language setting may need to be reset from the Regional Options control panel.
Local problems: There are several reasons for a local printer (a printer that is attached directly to your computer) to fail:
Check to make sure the printer has paper, ink, and/or toner and check the cables.
If the printer appears to be functional and a printer test by the printer itself indicates the printer is working properly, then check the cables, printer port from the computer, and configuration of the printer at the computer.
Occasionally, an application can develop a conflict with the printer driver and cause a memory leak which corrupts the printer port. If all else fails, restart the computer, recycle the power to the printer, and try printing again.
Occasionally it is even necessary to delete the printer driver and reinstall the latest version of the printer driver.
Network problems: There are various reasons for a network printer to be inaccessible: the name may have changed, it may be out of paper, out of ink, out of toner, down for maintenance, the network could be down, or a printer job previous to yours has stalled due to incorrect settings on the user's computer who last submitted a print job, or even your printer driver cannot communicate correctly with the printer. Network related printer failures are usually best handled by your local technical support.
Memory problemsn occasion, large print jobs with complex graphics or consisting of several hundred pages, which can consume large quantities of memory on the printer, may cause a problem (especially if there was an over run of memory at the printer). You may want to try reducing the amount of complex graphics in your print job, or break the print job up into smaller segments and see if that corrects your problem. It is not uncommon for a very complex graphic to have a defect or error which prevents it from printing on any printer. It may be necessary to load new or revised graphic converters or drivers in order to alleviate a problem of this type.
For more information about fixing problems related to printing, see Microsoft Windows Help and Support. (Click the Start button, and then click Help and Support.)" Excel keeps right on going. Doesn't crash. Just pops up the gray dialog box. Behind the box popped up is another box (that goes away then the dialog box is closed) saying: "Now printing page 1 of 1'Book1' on theHP Officejet Pro 861 on 0" The format of these messages does seem strange now that I look at it so carefully while trying to type EXACTLY what I see. I think I will try to shorten the name of the printer. Once again, Respectfully submitted for analysis, review, suggestions, and criticism. Tom

Can't update firmware on Officejet Pro 8610, Hp update site shows available firmware update needed, disabled firewall, shut off wireless, run program, window for update appears, but checkbox greyed out. I've talked to HP Tech, He was positive newer firmware was available, I've tried starting in safe mode w/networking, disabled, MS Security essentials turned off,etc. Have Dell Dimension, excellent running, Windows 7 Home Premium, Xfinity cable network modem (very fast), I'm getting frustrated.
Does anybody have a suggestion? Thanks, Jim

Hp officejet pro 8610 | does not print and cannot connect it wireless

Just bought the following printer: Officejet Pro 8610. Installed it with the cd. Installation on the printer goes well, connected to network, strong reception. 1) Cannot make a wireless connection from laptop to printer. Followed all the steps, uninstalled and reinstalled with software from hp site 7 hours worth. Router on/off, firewall on/off etc. 2) Installed not wireless but with a usb cable, this can be done however scanner and copier work but no pinting. Testprint also doesn't work, the internal test print does. Scan doctor said that it was a software problem that could not be solved by said doctor and to uninstall and reinstall the software. Freaking sick of doing that as it does not work. Also installed the basic driver to see if this works, same story, no printing. Laptop is from 2007 with windows XP. I really need to print for work and cannot spend another full day troubleshooting this monster. Either wireless or with usb cable, i dont care....... Please help!!! Thank you Mar

HP Officejet pro 8610 not connected

I have a new modem and separete Duel Router. Router is Lynksis EA3500 with 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz capabilities. Just bought a new HP Officejet Pro 8610 which I now have learned will only run on a 2.4 GHz system. When I connect the printer to the wireless system it shuts down the 5 GHz network. It kicks off all other devices. Those devices can join the 2.4 GHz, but can no longer even see the 5.0 GHz network. Not acceptable.
Do I need a different printer or can this be fixed? I don't understand why the printer won't run on the 2.4 but allow the laptops, desktop and TVs use the 5 GHz. Ridiculous.
I spent 1.5 hours on the phone with Lynksis first and they verified that the router is working perfectly. Then I spent 2 hours talking to HP in India and they just said sorry we will tell HP to make this printer capable for 5.0 in the future.
Not good - ready to return the printer. Any other option???
This question was solved.
View Solution.

First, I'm glad to hear the problem is solved. It also points out a significant problem with third had troubleshooting.
It also reminds me of a time when I was trying to help a customer over the phone (long before we could remotely login to client computers.) I spent a hour or so with this customer trying to figure out the answer to her problem. I eventually jumped in my car and drove over to the customer's office. In the middle of the screen was a big message that answered the problem. When I asked the customer why she didn't tell me about the message, she replied that she didn't believe that it was relavant.
I am surprised that HP even had you change the bandwidth on the router. The defaults nearly always work fine. 802.11 AC uses a wider bandwith than 802.11 G or N. The thing is, the bandwith change is all automatic.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8610 Keeps Going Offline

I have been using my HP OfficeJet Pro 8610 wireless all-in-one printer for about 2 weeks successfully, but all of the sudden the printer shows as 'Offline' all the time and I cannot fix it. I have set the IP address to static and tried rebooting the printer & router, but nothing works. I can see this is an issue lots of users have, and it is very frustrating. I would appreciate help with the issue or in the worst case be shipped a cable to connect the printer to my laptop so I can work around the terrible wireless issues.

Hello @eliz90 , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing connectivity issues. I would like to help!
I would recommend powering down your computer. Once the computer is down, select Setup on the front panel of the printer, and select Network. In the network menu, select Restore Network Defaults.
Once the defaults have been restored, disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, and remove the power from your router for 60 seconds.
After 60 seconds, plug the router back in. Once the router has begun broadcasting, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
After the printer is on, run the wireless setup.
I'd also suggest this document:

Hp officejet pro 8610 - Unable to connect to server

Hello. I bought a printer hp officejet pro 8610. I have a home worth router Zyxel Keenetik. My laptop and smartphone access to the Internet via a router (to access the Internet proxy server is not required). I set up the printer on a wireless connection. Configured to print from a laptop to a local network - this works fine. And now trying to set up ePrint, but faced with the problem - I can not run a web-service on the printer. The message - "Unable to connect to server". I downloaded from HP new version of firmware for the printer and installed it, but the problem remained.

Hi,
Try setting a manual public DNS as following and check if that may help:
Open the Network tab within the printer's web page.
Select IPv4 within the Wireless section.
Select a Manual IP, then click the Suggest an IP button and allow it a few moments.
Once the fields being updated, change the DNS section as following:
Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4.
Apply and save the changes, then try enableing Web Services again and check for any difference.
Please let me know if that may help,

HP officeJet Pro 8610 can't connect to wireless router

Just bought a HP officejet Pro 8610, switched on the wireless mode. It won't connect to my Netgear router D6200. It tries to look for the networks in the house and the software hangs. I took it back to the shop and exchanged it with a new printer. I tested it in the shop and it picked up the networks but at home it continues to do the same thing, the software just freezes.

Hi,
Try following these steps and check if that may help:
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03806987/
I would also suggest disabling any anti virus or firewall software on your PC which might block the installation.
Be sure to use the latest drivers, those can be downloaded below:

HP Officejet Pro 8610 e-all-in-one-printer

I really need to find an important fax confirmation and my fax log only shows the last 30 transactions. Same with the call history. Is there any way I can get more than the last 30 items.

Hello @TheVillage,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you're attempting to retrieve an old fax from your HP Officejet Pro 8610 e-All-in-One Printer. Because this is a consumer level printer it does not store more than 30 faxes within the fax programming. Therefore, there is no way to retrieve that fax information. Going forward I would recommend configuring Fax to a Network Folder. This feature will allow you to receive faxes to a network folder on your computer and also print the faxes on the machine if you want to. If you ever misplace an important fax you can go into the network folder and manually print the faxes.
For additional information regarding Fax to Network Folder please click here. Please refer to pages 12-18 within the User Guide.
Should you require additional assistance with the Fax to Network Folder setup please let me know!
