Unable to Wireless Print to OfficeJet 8600 Pro with Mac OSX 10.5.8

I am running MacBook Pro with OSX 10.5.8 and I am unable to print wirelessly to my new OfficeJet 8600 Pro.
I can setup the printer just fine, but when I send a job to print, it just sits in the queu and does nothing after "processing" the pages, etc.
I've tried a few different setup installers, including this one.
It's a slightly older mac (2.3 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) running OSX 10.5.8.
Any advice?
Thanks

Hello dpipitone,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand you are having some problems printing and scanning wirelessly on your HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 with your Mac running 10.5.8. When you installed the software and drivers for your 8600, did it tell you it was successful and print a test page? Also can you let me know the Exact model of 8600 you are using? 
I would like you to follow the troubleshooting steps listed here: Print Jobs are Stuck in the Print Queue, once on this page please select your Mac OS X, and continue from there.
Let me know if this was successful, I will watch for your reply.
Thank you,

    I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro with MAC OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto ’09 version 8.1.2 and have downloaded two software programs: one is Aperture 3.2 and the other is Photoshop Elements 9 (which I got from a friend who didn’t need it).
    I am totally happy with the way iPhoto organizes my photos and how I can work with iMovie to create slide shows with music from iTunes, etc.
    I have been shooting mostly high resolution jpegs and I continue to learn more and more about photography, post processing etc. I realize that the small adjustments I can make in iPhoto are good, and are adequate most of the time. However, a have started to experiment with shooting RAW images and would like to go the next step, ie. post processing.I am totally technically challenged and need SIMPLE, INTUITIVE programs and am certainly NOT anywhere ready for Photoshop CS whatever!
    After having these programs sit on my computer, I decided to try to see if I could figure them out. When I opened Aperture, this is what first comes up.
    “Welcome to Aperture 3.2
    Your library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of Aperture. Once upgraded, you will not be able to use this library with previous versions of Aperture.
    Upgrading a library from previous versions of Aperture 3 generally takes a few minutes or less, though larger libraries will take longer. After that, Aperture 3.2 will upgrade your library's thumbnails, but you can use the application during that time.
    Tip: To open a different library, quit Aperture and hold the Option key down while starting Aperture
    Current Library Location:
    Jadzia (home)   -----Pictures------Aperture Library
                                                      QUIT             UPGRADE”
    I have heard horror stories  about moving your entire library to Aperture, ending up with 2 libraries, etc. etc. hence my previous reluctance in attempting Aperture. In addition, many of my photography friends are saying: Go with Lightroom 3.....you’ll love it!
    So here is my dilemma.  I don’t want to mess around with my iPhoto library. All I want to be able to do, is to isolate a few photos, export them to Aperture, Elements, and work on them there, then bring them back into iPhoto.
    Can I do this? Should I forget about Aperture and Elements and look at purchasing yet another program like Lightroom?

    Export those few photos via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original to the Desktop.  Then import them into the Aperture library. That would keep one copy in your iPhoto library and another in your Aperture library to edit, etc.
    You can use Photoshop Elements 9 from within iPhoto as your editor of choice. However, if you edit a raw file in iPhoto with PSE9 the resulting edited version must be saved outside the iPhoto Library and imported back in as a new file.  For editing jpegs just do a Save (not a Save As) and it all will be kept within iPhoto. 
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

  • New Macbook Pro with Mac OSX 10.5.5 - I'm new to Mac and am having problem

    My photobooth sometimes only records videos for six seconds though it tells me it is recording for as long as I have it recording. When I click stop, what's saved is six seconds. I've had this Macbook Pro for about a month now, and I'm new to Mac, as I've been with Windows all my life. Now, photobooth is also crashing, saying I can send a message to Apple or relaunch. I usually do both. My IMOVIE HD just crashed as well, and I am now noticing that these applications are crashing more often. What can I do? I checked disk utility, verified my disk, and nothing was wrong. I have 211 GB of free space. I don't know what to do and I need this to be fixed. What's wrong with my Macbook Pro?? I was told Macs have so much stability, but if this is what's happening after just a month, I don't know what to say. I also tried to download many screensavers from the Apple website, which ended up not working, and calling Apple did not help. I ended up removing all of the screen savers, so that was a whole unresolved issue. But now my main concern is with all of these crashes. I have run the software updates thing and I am up to date.
    What do I do??
    Thank you.

    Call Apple Care. They will either help you over the phone, or they will help you send it in for repair (it takes only a few days to do that - you usually have it back literally two or three days after you send it in)...What you are describing is something malfunctioning and that is NOT usual for a mac.

  • Can anyone recommend a print server that will work with Mac & PCs?

    Can anyone recommend a wireless print server that will work with Macs and PCs ?

    Wireless has a disadvantage for many Powerbooks.  Unless yours supports 802.11g, it is not secure.  So it must support Airport Extreme on the Powerbook to have a secure wireless network.   Also many printers only support 802.11b, making matters worse, as that is not secure.  See my FAQ* on printing:
    http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
    Some printers have ethernet ports, which would allow you to use a Wireless ethernet bridge that is 802.11g.  Similarly you could use one on the Mac, and then you'd have your wireless printing.  Ask the printer manufacturer what might be possible.  The last thing you want is an insecure network, especially if you are at most 4500 meters/1500 feet from someone who could pick it up and log into it that you don't want.

  • Does the Officejet 8600 Pro Premium N911n printer perform auto tray selection?

    I have an Officejet 8600 Pro Pemium N911n printer,  CN577A with two trays. My Operating Sysem is Win8,64bit,there are no error messages, no system changes.
    The HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in One series User Guide states that By default, the printer draws media from Tray1.If Tray1 is empty, the printer draws media from Tray2(if it is installed and loaded with media. I have Tray lock disabled ,Tay1 the default Tray and Automatic Tray Selection enabled.Prior to making these selections,I contacted HP support via email to report that this option was not working. I received a response that there is no method that will automatically select a tray when one tray is empty. The User 's manual states otherwise..This option might not work but it is part of this series of printers. I have both trays loaded and I will determine if it works after Tray1 is empty. Does anyone have one of these printers and the auto Tray function works? Thanks.

  • How to cancel a print job on the hp officejet 8600 pro running xp

    How do cancel a print or copy job on the Officejet 8600 Pro Premium?  There is no "cancel" button on the control panel.  Do I have to go through the software?  Time consuming -

    scarlattid3,
    The cancel button should be located in the bottom right corner of the screen. The only thing is it's not going to show up until you start the print job or copy and then it should appear for you.

  • HP Officejet 8600 Pro - how to change scan resolution presets at the printer

    I have an HP Officejet 8600 Pro and wish to scan to email from the printer and wish to change the default resolution setting.   I would like to change the default scan resolution so I dont have to remember to change it every time I scan.  
    If I change it with the HP Windows Printer Assistant software it only seems to change the resolution for this time and only from the computer not at the printer.  
    Is it possible to change the scan resolution settings at the printer? I cant find detail in the manual or on the printer console.

    bvlusa,
    Open the Icon labeled Officjet Pro 8600 on your desktop, and then click on Scan a Document or Photo. When the Scan application window opens you can change the Resolution from the drop down menu.
    I hope this helps.

  • Officejet 8600 Pro+ Power-switch lamp cycling bright then dim

    My Officejet 8600 Pro+ printer is brand new, and is connected via my wired network. It's working perfectly so far. Wi-Fi and fax are both (deliberately) turned off / disabled & not needed.
    The Power-switch has a nice green light to indicate that the printer has "power" OK - and the lamp seems to have two "on" states, namely 'dim', and 'bright'.
    The printer seems to go into "Sleep Mode" OK, and the control panel turns off as expected after my preset "Sleep" interval. (I'm not using the scheduling options.)  It also wakes-up OK when I send it a print job.  Again, everything is fine so far ...
    While the printer is in this low-power 'ECO' state, the intensity of the green Power-switch lamp varies slowly between bright and dim, on a roughly 6-second cycle - 3 seconds at 'bright', then 3 seconds at 'dim', and it never stops cycling - bright then dim then bright etc..
    BUT ... and here's my question ... should this lamp be staying 'dim' while the printer is asleep?
    Or, does the fact that it is returning to 'bright' every few seconds imply that it is somehow failing to STAY fully 'asleep'?
    I can't find any clues about this in the printer's manual.
    Perhaps I should raise a query with the HP Support folks, but I thought I'd ask here first.
    Thanks in anticipation. Edited to add:
    I'd be glad to know whether any other Officejet 8600 owner (or the owner of any other Officejet model) sees this same bright/dim behaviour on their Power-switch lamp?  Thanks.

    Thanks pcwizard, I got the same reply yesterday from my HP Customer Care enquiry, and I'm satisfied now that my machine isn't cycling repeatedly into sleep mode and then 3 seconds later coming half "out" of sleep mode! I know the HP design folks may never look at these Forum entries, but I'd hint to them that perhaps this ambiguous "sleep" indication might be made an optional choice, so that I could choose a steady low-intensity light instead.  It's not an enormous issue of course, but in my little "office" space, this Power button is right in my line-of-sight as I work, and - even though I now know that my printer is perfectly healthy - the slowly-pulsing light had become a recurring distraction until I covered it with a little 'disc' of semi-opaque sticky tape   Thanks again.Colin

  • Officejet 8600 pro plus time zone issue

    has anyone successfully set the time zone on the Officejet 8600 pro plus? There's a webpage for the device to setup the local date & time - it has a nebulous button to 'set the time zone to the same as you computer' or something like that.. I can't get it to work under Win7 IE or firefox - the printer seems to always be stuck in UTC. That means I have to set the printers local time to UTC to make the timestamps of email scans appear correct. Any ideas? It seems like older officejets had an option to explicitly set the time zone from the device's webpage but that's gone. BTW.. I've upgraded to the latest firmware (v CLP1CN1150CR - 15-feb-2012), but the problem persists.

    You should be able to do that via the LCD panel from the printer.
