Officejet Pro 8600 scan to computer with Mac OS 10.6.8

I have reinstalled the software, selecting HP Recommended Software.  I have restarted the computer and done a software update.  I can print from my computer to the printer.  But I cannot "scan to computer" using the touchpad on the front of the printer.  When I select it, the message says "No Computer Found."   When I open the HP utility on the computer, under scan settings there is NO "scan to computer" option to select, even though the printer says I need to select it.
I can scan a document using by opening the settings on the computer, but I cannot figure out how to tell it to use the document feeder.  So I figured I would try it from the printer itself.  But I cannot get that to work.

Try scanning FROM your Mac. Use Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
Click once on the scanner on the left side, then click on Show Details along the bottom. Along the right side you will see LOTS of options for scanning and saving.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 wireless print option with Mac OSX Snow Leopard?

    Hi My 'old' 8600 printer died and I purchased a new one. I did not set up wireless communication with the old printer but am interested in doing so with this new one, or at least having that option.
    I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8  Snow Leopard. The installation CD that came with the new printer says it's for OS X v10.6, Lion or Mountain Lion. Is it compatible with my system?
    Thanks!

    Hello KelliMK, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you are looking into compatibility information.  The Officejet Pro 8600 is compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.  The software disc should allow the full install without issue. 
    As for the wireless setup, I would recommend following this document on HP Officejet Pro 8600 All-in-One Printer Series - Installing the Printer Software on a Wireless or W...
    Please let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600; scanner not communicating with computer

    When I try to scan, it appears as though the OfficeJet Pro cannot communicate with my computer. The computer is connected to the internet, and the OfficeJet Pro is connected, but it won't scan. I have used the Office Jet Pro for these purposes before, and it appears to have stopped working all of a sudden. The error message says "no computer found."
    Product Name: OfficeJet Pro 8600
    Product #: CM749A

    Hi shoffice, and welcome to the HP Forums!
    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.
    Please let me know how that goes.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus wont print from Mac 10.5.8

    Hello,
    I just purchased the Officejet Pro 8600 Plus and I'm running it wired through my router.  I'm able to print with my PC, my IPad and my phone but I cant print with my mac running OS 10.5.8. 
    When I try to print it puts the document in the print que and says "printing" but nothing happens at the printer.  I can scan to my mac from the printer and everything seems to indicate that the printer is connected.   
    I have downloaded the latest HP driver for Mac 10.5.  Also i have reset the printer (holding down the option key while deleting the printer from the system preferences) several times and re-added the printer.  Still nothing.  
    Any ideas?
    Greg

    Reset the printing system:
    - Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
    - Option click the '+' sign and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
    - Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and then next to the "Use" pulldown, select the printer model (not AirPrint). Wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 fax from computer will not fax more than one page without canceling job

    HP Officejet Pro 8600 MFP running on Windows 7 64 bit. I purchased this printer almost a month ago. The install was simple and straight forward with no apparent problems but when trying to fax from computer the program seems to be only able to fax one page faxes. Any multiple page faxes will show a message "spooling" for 10 to 15 seconds then it will cancel the entire fax. I have tried this in both wired and wireless modes with the same results. I have sent 30 page plus faxes from the printer without any problems, it is only the fax from computer that seems to have memory issues. Any solutions out there?

    Have you tried updating the firmware on the printer? 
    If not, here is a link to the most recent firmware:

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600: "Unable to Communicate with Printer" error message

    I receive the error message "Unable to Communicate with Printer" regularly when I print. Sometimes it will print 3 or 4 times just fine before I get this message. Sometimes it happens my first try at printing. I then have to reboot my computer to get it to work again. My OS is Windows 7 and my printer is an HP Officejet Pro 8600. My printer is wired to my computer. I have tried re-installing the printer software but this did not help. I've had this printer for only four months. Started happening after the second month. Any suggestions? 

    I finally solved it.  Reflecting back on previous message boards I decided to try one last time.  Some posters have found the problem in the Antivirus, Firewall protections.  (By the way, I had even upgraded my router with no luck).I have Norton AntiVirus provided by the cable company.1. I turned off everything in the firewall.  Although this left me vulnerable for a few mintues, I needed a fast test.2. It worked!  I was able to print something immediately.3. I went back into the firewall, turned everything back on but turned off an individual switch within the firewall that said to "share the printer. "4. After turning it off, I was able to print and still have the most important parts of the firewall.This ultimately met my needs.Perhaps HP could:1. Do a better job at beta testing prior to release, including various brands of firewalls.  Is there even a beta test process?2. Provide a better description of the error since all indicators within the drivers say the printer is connected.  There should be a message indicating that it's connected but unable to print due to firewall protections.  

  • Officejet Pro 8600 will NOT print on MAC OSX 10.7.5

    I'm using Mac OSX 10.7.5 
    New Officejet Pro 8600 is set-up and wireless is connected with Bonjour.  When printing the printer utility opens and shows me that the printer is connecting.  For example: "Printing Microsoft Word - Document 1".  Printing page is shown as "100% complete". However, nothing prints.
    I am able to print the 'Print Self Test Page' but nothing else (ie. word documents). I have the printer setup on an HP Laptop and it is working just fine over the network.
    I have tried every solution under the following link and nothing worked:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c02205477

    HI, I also had this same issue and finally worked out a solution.
    Just to summarise: I had two Macbooks 10.7.4, iPhone, iPad, airport express and netgear evg2000 router. They all worked wirelessly one minute then stopped. I could wirelessly connect to the printer, print test pages, view the queue, view supplies but any print would appear in the queue as 100% complete or 1% or 12% but never actually print out.
    I logged in to the embedded web server (ews) on the printer, went to network, advanced settings-bonjour and changed the Bonjour Highest Priority Service to '9100 printing' instead of 'LDP'. I then deleted the printer from the print function in system prefs, re added it and it worked. I had to turn the iPhone and iPad off and on and they worked.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus copy prints with black streaks

    I just bought an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus and it seems to work great at printing; however, when I tried to copy something, the copy came out with black streaks that nearly render the print illegible and are the most dark/condensed towards the left hand side of page.
    How do I fix this problem? 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
    It could be due to the scan calibration issue during power on.
    Power off the Printer, make sure scan lid closed properly. Now power it on, it will do scan calibration.
    Now try to do the copy and see the results.
    Hope it will help you.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 scans have vertical lines.

    I have a OfficeJet Pro 8600 and my scans have vertical lines.  Copying does not have the lines.

    I used the ADF and the flat bed to scan; both having lines as a result.
    In one of the forums and they thought it was static.  It was suggested to have the printer on and then unplug it.  Wait 15 seconds and plug it back in.  That did the trick.  No more lines.  I guess with winter bringing on more dry air, static is prevalent.
    Problem solved.
    Thanks

  • HP OfficeJet Pro X576dw Scan to Computer function not working.

    Hi,
    I wonder if anyone can help me. I recently setup a new HP OfficeJet Pro X576dw on network and most printer features work fine with the exception of the "Scan to Computer" feature that is not working for one specific Mac running OS X 10.9.4.
    The "Scan to Computer" (as the name suggests) allows you to scan a document at the printer and send the scanned document to a specific computer on your network. This feature requires that the client computer is Enabled for "Scan to Computer" which is done via HP Utility application (Mac HD > Library > Printers > hp > Utilities) and works on a client Mac we have running Mac OS X 10.8.5 but not Mac OS X 10.9.4, you cannot tick the Enable tickbox on the latter Mac OS X 10.9.4.
    Orginally I never installed an software that can with the printer on CD or Download and simply used the built-in Mac OS X drivers for this printer which have worked fine. I have since downloaded and installed the latest driver software but the enabling of "Scan to Computer" is still not a tickable option on the client computer running Mac OS X 10.9.4. Any ideas?

  • HP Officejet pro 8610 scan to computer OSX 10.10

    Dear all,
    I've just bought a HP Officejet pro 8610 and it prints like a charm. I can't however scan to my computer. According to the manual I have to activate the scan to computer function in the utility program but I have no such option. Am I missing something? It works fine on my dads windows 8.1 laptop.
    With kind regards,

    Hi charlene025,
    Thank you again for responding!
    It sounds like there is a driver conflict on your computer, especially since it is showing an older printer. I am going to recommend the following:
    Uninstall the printer software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Reset the printing system. OS X Yosemite: Reset the printing system.
    Verify and repair disk permissions.  Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions.
    Reboot the computer.
    Reinstall the software from this website. HP Officejet Pro 8610 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers.
    Once these steps are completed try and re-enable the scan to computer function again.
    Hope this works!

  • HP Officejet Pro 8620 - set up problem with MAC OSX version 10.7.5

    I have just bought a new Officejet Pro 8620 and all set up fine to a point. Problem is that when I try the HP Utility set-up and click on "Add Printer" and identify it as "Bonjour Malfunction" and select the printer from the pull down menu list, I receive the message:
    "The software for this printer is currently unavailable, please contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software". 
    I have already downloaded the latest software from theHP website - but stil no resolution. 
    Any help please would be gratefully received.

    Hello @Kennynic!
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
    I would be happy to provide some help regarding your Officejet 8620 and installing the software on the Mac.  The first thing I suggest is to ensure all the HP Software is removed from the Mac. I suggest uninstalling the HP Software.  After the software is uninstalled I recommend performing a "repair disk permissions" on your Mac. A repair disk permissions is a utility built in the Mac operating system designed to locate and resolve issues or errors that may cause complications when re-installing. After the repair disk permission is complete restart your Mac and try adding the printer again.
    To uninstall the HP Software click here: Uninstalling HP Software
    To perform a repair disk permission click here: Performing a Repair Disk Permission
    There is only software available for Mac 10.10.  Unfortunately there is no full feature software and driver available for Mac 10.7.  You should still be able to add the printer using the AirPrint drivers.  Go into System Preferences from the Apple icon and click on printer and scanner.  In the printer and scanner window click the add printer icon and you should be able to add the 8600 printer via Wi-Fi and AirPrint.
    I recommend checking for software updates on the Mac. To check for software updates click the "apple" icon at the to left and click on "software update".  Install any HP or printer updates. After any updates you should restart the computer. and try printing.
    Please post back and let me know how everything goes!

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printing issues with Mavericks 10.9

    The printer stopped printing (the print queue said printer not connected), so I unplugged the printer (an HP suggestion) for 15 seconds, replugged and it printed the doc in the queue. Printed a few docs for about 5 minutes, then the same not connected message as before.  
    Repeated steps, repeated results. Tried 3 times and can't figure it out. At least I can print when necessary, but unplugging every time is annoying.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    Try unplugging your router for a moment, allow it 2-3 minutes to restart and reboot your printer, then check for any difference.
    If the same persists, have it worked with the same router in the past? may you changed any network settings, replaced a router or may upgraded its firmware lately?
