8600 doesn't print wirelessly

I have two laptops (LT) on my desk. One prints wirelessly to the Officejet Pro 8600 and the other doesn't. After months of playing around, the only difference I can find is the LT that works, connects thru the HP network re-discovery port monitor and the other LT doesn't. I do not find a port setting HP network re-discovery port monitor, on the non-connecting LT. Seems like an easy solution and an answer would make my New Year better.
They both use Windows 7, it's updated/current. I can print wirelessly from phones, pads etc.

Hello, 
Please try the below steps that should atleast let you print....
Click START > Device and Printer > Add a Printer > Add a local printer > Select "Create a New Port" > type in the Printer's IP address Click NEXT,
in the Manufacturing list , select HP / Hewlett packard, and from the right pane , select Officejet Pro 8600  and complete the wizard
Now try printing from lotus and hopefully it should work. 
Regards,
Jabzi

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Will Not Print Wirelessly

    Hi.  I have read other threads on this forum with suggested fixes from HP employees and tried them.  I have run the tool which found no errors.  My firewall is off.  I have installed the latest Adobe and uninstalled then reinstalled the printer software.  I have followed instructions in book re: turning off computer, router, printer, etc.  I can see the IP address for the printer in IE.
    Still, this brand new printer will not print wirelessly or otherwise from my hp laptop.  VERY frustrating.  I have spent hours trying work arounds for a brand new computer.  I would greatly appreciate a response regarding how to resolve this problem.  Thank you.

    I have seen cases where a troubled install went through flawlessly after the computer was reimaged.  That may be an option to consider. 
    I did want to make sure that you had the most current firmware version and it looks like you do.
    Before a reimage, you could uninstall Officejet Pro 8600 programs (if there are any) and download and install the drivers for your printer from hp.com.  Click here for the HP Officejet Pro Full Feature Software and Driver.  By doing this, you would have the most up-to-date drivers.  Sometimes a download will work where a disk does not.  It you do decide to reimage, I highly recommend the above download for the installation.
    Let me know what happens.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 won't print wirelessly

    Hi All
    I purchased a new 8600 (N911a) 2 days ago and can't get it to print wirelessly and am tearing my hair out (what's left of it anyway!).
    I've read all the threads on the forum and tried several of them but with no joy.
    The pinter is connected to my network. and all is showing as ok.  I can print the network test results page from the printer and all is ok. I can access the printer EWS and print a test page and all is ok. This is the only printer I have connected and it's set up as the defailt printer. I have run the HP Print & Scan doctor and it prints the internal test page but not the 'normal' one and basically tells me to uninstall and reload the software.
    I've done this twice now, once from the CD and the second time from the HP website to make sure I have the lastest version. I've rebooted the router, printer and laptop (Acer running Vista Home Basic) and still nothing works. I've done the 'power reset' suggested by someone by pulling out the cable whilst the printer is on and that didn't work either. 
    I can scan from the printer to my laptop wirelessly so I know it's all connected and seeing each other.....just can't get the **bleep** thing to print and need to print out an urgent document for tomorrow!
    Can't call the HP Printer tech support team in the UK as they only work Mon-Fri (typical large corporate that thinks the world sleeps outside of these hours!) so am stuffed.
    Anyone any other suggestions?
    Kind regards
    Brian

    Forgot to add that I can ePrint via the web services. Ended up having to send the document as an email to the printer and it printed fine!!

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus will print wirelessly but not scan

    I have a HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus all in one printer/copier/scanner. It's worked fine for the several months I have had it. But now suddently the computer does not recognize the scanner. I am connected to the device wirelessly and can print but not scan. I haven't been able to figure out why the comptuer recognizes the printer but not the scanner. I uninstalled and reinstalled the device but still no success.
    Any ideas how I can get the computer to recognize the scanner? I am running Windows 8. Have not updated to 8.1.

    Hello Sarah1234, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you are experiencing scanning issues.  I would like to help.
    I would recommend powering off your printer and computer.  Once they are both down, I would recommend unplugging the power from your wireless router for 60 seconds, and then plugging it back in.  Once it has begun broadcasting again, power on your printer and computer.
    I would also recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor. Once you have launched the tool, select the 'fix scanning' option.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • OfficeJet 8600 doesn't print full page range from pdf with Mac OS X

    I have an OfficeJet Pro 8600 linked to a Mac with OS X Mavericks
    We often need to print a block of pages (say the first 40, or 10-20 out of the middle) out of large pdf documents of 250pg or more. To do so we put in the page range under 'pages' in the print instructions box.
    The printer sometimes prints an initial block of pages, then cuts off. If we then try to print the remaining pages, it starts by printing the whole range again, with the ones we already have, and then still cuts off maybe after having done 2-3 more than the first time round. To print the whole range we've eventually had to print the last pages one at a time.
    Any suggestions as to why this is happening, and how we can stop it? It happens with documents in Adobe Reader and web pages.
    Thanks for any assistance.

    Hi @NickRN8 
    I am not sure what is causing the inconsistency in selected pages not printing, but I'd be happy to help.
    Let's reset the printing system, repair disk permissions, re-add the printer using the right driver, and try to scan again.
    Reset Printing System
    Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click System Preferences.
    In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan  dialog box opens.
    Right-click (or  Ctrl  +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
    Click OK to confirm the reset.
    Type the correct Name and Password.
    Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
    Repair Disk Permissions
    On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
    Double-click Disk Utility.
    Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
    Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
    Once the repair is complete, restart the computer and add the printer back.
    When you add the printer, please ensure you are using the HP driver.
    Select Add other Printer or Scanner                                                      
    Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can select the printer driver 
    I look forward to hearing from you. If the issue remains unresolved, I will post instructions to completely scrub the HP software from the computer and start fresh.

  • WPS54G Print Server doesn't print wirelessly

    I am using the setup wizard, but when it is checking for the wireless setting I get a message that the connection failed. please help!!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi quack thanks for your answer , unfortunately everything is correct and turned on... when I unplugged the ethernet cable just before the last step of the wizard and it is on the screen of "Now your wireless is connected" a little box appeares saying "connect fail"... But if I leave the ethernet cable plugged, the process goes "perfect", because I can print, but the server must be connected to the router wirely...
    I'm starting to think if it is because the WPA key of my router, I use a WPA2:AES+TKIP,and I'm not pretty shure if the server is compatible.
    Thanks for your commment!!! I wish that exist a solution!!

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus no longer printing wirelessly

    My HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus has printed wireless for both my MacBook Pro and iPad for over a year.  As of this morning, it no longer will.  The Wireless Network Test Results notice says "your hp printer is unable to connect to your wireless router.  MAC address filtering may be enabled on your wireless router which can prevent your HP printer from connecting to your wireless network during setup.  Solution:  if MAC address filtering is enabled and you would like to keep it enabled, you must add the MAC address of your printer (available in this Test Report) to the list of permitted devices for your wireless router before continuing"
    My "router" is an Apple Time Capsule.   All this is "greek" to me.  I have been trying to resolve this for 5 hours now and have made no headway as I really do not know what I'm doing.  Do you have any tips (step by step) as to how to get this working again?
    Thanks so much!

    Well searching the web I find the support page for your printer here.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 All in One printer - printing wirelessly from an IPAD

    I'm trying to connect a HP Officejet Pro 8600 to our university campus wireless network for the purposes of printing wirelessly from an IPAD.  The printer finds the wireless network when going through wireless wizard setup but gets a message that the wireless network is using security that is not supported. 
    The campus wireless network uses:
    Security type: WPA2-Enterprise
    Encryption type: AES
    Can anyone tell me if these are supported by this model printer?

    Hey ibebry,
    The printer is designed to be used with WPA2 - Personal and not the Enterprise version.  From the wiki artricle on WPA encryption:
    WPA-Personal Also referred to as WPA-PSK (Pre-shared key) mode, it is designed for home and small office networks and doesn't require an authentication server. Each wireless network device authenticates with the access point using the same 256-bit key generated from a password or passphrase.
    WPA-Enterprise Also referred to as WPA-802.1X mode, and sometimes just WPA (as opposed to WPA-PSK). It is designed for enterprise networks and requires a RADIUS authentication server. This requires a more complicated setup, but provides additional security (e.g. protection against dictionary attacks on short passwords). An Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is used for authentication, which comes in different flavors.
    If the network is using WPA-Enterprise, then most likely the 8600 will not be able to connect.  Hope this helps.

  • Can't print wirelessly from iMac to HP 8600 all-in-one

    A few weeks ago, I purchased a HP 8600 basic printer and setup it up to my two iMacs and to the router (cisco brand).
    I haven't really printed with it since I have gotten it, which did print when I tested it at first. Now I can't print wireless from either iMac (one iMac is ver. 10.9 and the other is ver. 10.8). Both my computers and printer are connected to my router, but when I go to print something the printer dialog box tells me: "the printer is not connected."
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks

    Hello Viggo_R, Welcome to the Forums
    I understand you are unable to print from your 10.8+10.9 systems and would like to help out the best I can.
    I have researched the issue at hand for you and have found a guide that I suggest following. Hopefully this will connect your printer back on the network and get you up and running again.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus - won't print wirelessly

    Installed a new 8600 Plus printer.  Installed it onto my network.  My laptop sees the printer and the scanning function will fire off and talk back and forth with my laptop.  When I try to print, though, the printing fails with "Unable to Communicate with Printer" error.  Any ideas on how to solve this?

    I have already tried the HP Scan & Print diagnostic. All tests pased, however I still cannot print wirelessly.

  • 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.

  • Officejet 6500 wireless doesn't print after computers wake up

    Upgraded to Windows 7, but got a new integrated modem/router combo.  It's a Netgear DGND3300.
    My whole network is wireless.
    I never had this issue with my 2Wire Home Portal 2701 modem/router combo.  It worked flawlessly and I mean flawlessly.
    I have to reinstall my drivers for the printer and then it will work.  If we go to bed and and then try to print the next morning, it's like the printer info hangs in the spool.
    I get the icon saying it's printing, no errors, but the printer just doesn't print!
    So if I wirelessly delete the printer then reinstall it, it will print fine.
    I can't figure out where the issue is.  Turning off the computer and turning it back on again doesn't seem to help.

    Good job on the  firmware.
    Have you downloaded this patch for Win 7 upgrades?

  • HP Office Jet Pro 8600 will not print or scan on wireless network

    After set up with windows 7 lap top all went well. Then after several months It would not print wirelessly. A tech pro said I needed a new modem did that but got same results. Messages pop up saying "cannot find printer" or "printer not availale" If I turn the printer off then back on most of the time it will print. If I do not turn the printer off then on - several hours later it will start printing. Also it will not scan. An icon says "scan to computer is currently not available" Any and all suggestioons would be greatly appreciated. Keep in mind I am not a computer wizzard. Thanks

    You're going to have to access your routers admin pages and check the DHCP address range.  This is the 'automatic' IP that it hands out to your devices.   IP for your router are typically 192.168.1.2 thru .254.  192.168.1.1 is typically reserved for the router itself.   Set the DHCP range to 192.168.1.100 thru .254.  This now leaves static IP's 192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99.   Set the printer to something like 192.168.1.10.
    Now change the wireless channel in the router to channel 1.  Save settings.   Now try.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless - Doesn't print black

    I set up a new Officejet 8000 back in about August of 2009.  I never used it much and it looks like I have about 29 pages which have gone through it.  Now I'm trying to use it and the black doesn't print at all.  I have gone through multiple print tests, etc. and the self test even just comes up in magenta.
    The ink level on the black is about 50% so it looks like there is plenty of ink.  I have also taken the print head out and shaken it multiple times.
    I read another post that indicated these printers had problems and it sounds like a warranty replacement but it just seems awfully early to have any problems with it.  Any thoughts on how to resolve or should I just call HP? 

    i have about 11 of these crappy printers on my site, i think i have sent more back to HP than i have actively working.
    the current issue i have is also the black printing problem, its getting to the point where im considering recommending another supplier. HP's quality have gone though the floor with the recent crap they are producing..
    cartridges are fine, even though the Hp rep i spoke to blamed the issue on the cartridge, it works fine in another machine, and a new cartridge also has the same fault. the print heads are also fine & replaced & tested in a working machine, same fault. all the cleaning pages & stages made no differance.
    only solution - wave good bye and post it back to HP - yet again..
    come on HP you used to care about your products and your customers, but lately you just churn our any piece of rubbish.
    why have you let your standard slip soo far.. why dont you care about your customers anymore.
