8600 printer adapter

I recently moved and lost the AC adapter for my HP Office Jet Pro 8600 Plus. On the back of the printer where the plug goes in it says
100-240V ~
50/60Hz
1200mA
I know nothing about electronics and just want to buy a new adapter. What do I need or where can I go to get one?
Please Help

I would suspect the module you saw was one running an anti-theft device - 12V at 3Amps is not enough to run the 8600. I have an Officejet Pro 8600 Plus here and it uses a standard 2 prong 120V cord that plugs directly into the printer, no external power supply. The receptacle on the back of the printer takes a 2 prong cord that plugs directly into the wall. It is a part number 8120-6313 if you are in the US and it is a standard non-polarized plug with a C7 connector. Here is one on Amazon, or you can find them on eBay or likely at a computer store.

Unable to load HP 8600 printer driver on laptop

Hi Folks,
Just installed a new HP Officejet 8600 printer into my home network. The network consists of 4 PC’s, two desktops and two laptops…all are running XP SP3 with the latest updates. The HP printer and one of the desktops are connected by Ethernet to a wireless router. The other desktop and both laptops are connected wirelessly via 802.11. Installation of the printer driver was successful with both desktops and one of the laptops. The other laptop, a Dell Latitude D520, fails on the final step of the installation process, after selecting the printer name following its detection on the network. Avast! Internet Security and Malwarebytes run on all the machines and are disabled, along with Windows firewall, during the install process. The following dialog is displayed:
“Unsuccessful Network Installation – The printer was unable to be installed over the network.”
No other error information is provided. I’ve tried installing from the product CD (which is up to date) as well as the driver software downloaded from the HP support site, rebooting multiple times. I also downloaded the recommended HP troubleshooting tool (HP Installation Failure – Unknown Device) and ran through the process a couple of times without success. All of the machines, including the D520 laptop, can see each other as well as the HP printer. There are no network issues I’m aware of.
I’ve exhausted what little expertise I have in this area. If anyone out there can think of a possible solution or provide some suggestions, I’d sure appreciate it. Thanks much.

Hello marconi10. Welcome to the HP Forums. I understand you are unable to install your printer on one computer, over a wireless connection. I'm going to suggest a very simple workaround, which if it works, will remove any complicated troubleshooting that would be necessary:
Please try installing the printer with a USB connection. If this does not work, you know that there is an issue occurring with the computer.
If this does work, the printer will be successfully installed. At that point, you can change the connection type from USB to wireless. For more information on how to do this, please reference this HP document: Convert from a USB connected printer to wireless
If the printer will still not connect wireless, this will point out a computer issue. For additional information and troubleshooting, relating to the inability of installing the printer over a wireless network, please reference this HP document: 'Unable to Find Printer' Error Message Displays on the Computer During Wireless Network Installation
Please respond with the results of your troubleshooting. I'm only here to help!

After installing latest OS update I can no longer print from my iPad to my HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer. Any suggestions?

After installing latest OS 5.1 update I can no longer print to my HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer?   Suggestions?

Installing the new os may have tricked one of the three devices involved. If it used to work, it will again.
Reboot the printer.   Reboot the router. On the pad, general, reset, reset network connections.
Make sure all the devices are on the same wifi network.   Talk nice to it.

Can't Connect HP Pavilion Wirelessly to HP 8600 Printer

Background: I have Verizon Internet service via a ACTIONTEC M1424WR Rev. I wireless server. I successfully connected a HP OfficeJet PRO 8600 all-in-one Printer N911a to the server with contact ID 192.168.1.5. The printer works for several PCs that are in use at my house. I have a HP pavilion g7 1338dx notebook PC running Microsoft WIN 7 Home Premimum (64 bit) and wanted to connect it to the printer.
I loaded HP Office Jet Pro 8600 series disk version 28.8 on the pavilion and was unable to connect to the printer. The software is unable to find the wireless printer either while the software is loading or when I give it the ID address directly.
However, the pavilion accesses the Internet wirelessly and if I type in the ID address is able to directly access the printer and print a test page. I have tried all of the suggestions that the software has given me with no success.
Comments?

Hi there @gwc2gwc2
I read about how the printer is not being detected when you run through the installation. I have a guide that should help you through the setup and hopefully get the printer to be recognized.
Click here and follow the steps it lists: An 'Unable to Find Printer' Error Displays for the HP Officejet Pro 251dw, 276dw, and 8600 Printer S...
Let me know the results!
Have a great Tuesday

HP Laserjet 4100 and Belkin USB Parallel Printer Adapter

I'm a brand new Mac user. I wanted to connect my Mac to my existing HP Laserjet 4100 printer. To do that, I had to purchase a Belkin USB Parallel Printer Adapter. I saw that Mac wasn't supported by this adapter, so I called Belkin and they said it was supported. Tried to set it up and failed. Called Apple for help, was on the phone for quite a long time, and no luck. Went to HP site to load drivers, and no luck. I contacted HP online and was told this product is no longer supported.
So right now when I try to print, I get a message that says the printer is offline...but it's not. Anyone have any ideas for a workaround?
Thanks so much for any thoughts.

I think you should be a little more patient in trying to find a solution. I have an HP Laserjet 4ML from 1992 that I still use every day.
In my case, I purchased an HP Jetdirect external parallel print server and have the printer connected to my router that way.
You may also want to power off the printer, reset Printing System, and then power on the printer and re-Add it in Print & Fax.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 - Print Preview is not available

I have a new HP Officejet Pro 8600 AIO printer that I purchased last week. I hooked it up to print in a network environment. I have thee window xp systems and three windows 7 systems printing to it with no issues.I am very happy with it. Yesterday my wife told me that when she printed she missed the print preview that our former printer had. I thought I would easily get into the HP 8600 printer program and setup the print preview option. To my surprise after checking in numerous areas and online, I found out that it looks like the option has been left out or not provided for the printer by HP. I realize the MS Office and many other programs have their own print preview however when being online with Google Chrome or Internet Explorer, you quickly realize that the option to select the pages you want to print and not print could save alot of wasted paper and ink. Someone please tell me that a print preview software option is in the works for this otherwise great printer! I can not imagine leaving this out of the printing software package provided.

Since HP isn't answering me on the 'Print Preview' being available soon or which HP printers software actally HAVE the 'print preview' function enabled... I did some searching and I found a partial answer to the 'print preview' delema. The web site http://www.obviousidea.com/windows-software/greencloud-printer/
has a free program called GreenCloudPrinter which, in a nut shell, will install a printer? called GreenCloud which set itself up as the default printer and any file that is sent to the printer gets directed to the GreenCloud device which will then bring up a 'print preview' screen with options to remove blank pages and or print or not print the preview! And a lot of other functions too. Works great and it's free. You do have to register it and a registration code is emailed to you to unlock the program. I hope that helps you out... worked for me.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Printer - help for office environment/wireless network

I'm an HP person (i.e., laptob, printer, etc.). Our office had a Brothers (sorry) MFC 9840 and with it we had a desktop app that would allow us to scan, copy and fax from our personal computers. Needless to say that printer died and I bought the office an HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer. Because the aforementioned capabilities existed, the staff would like them for our new HP printer. I didn't see these capabillities on the support disk. Did I miss it? Can you help. Thanks (because I can not believe the HP would put out such great products without this capability).

Hi there,
Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? What operating system are we using?

HP 8600 Printer Will not see printer when scanning.

I am using an HP 8600 Printer. It is connected to my computer and prints just fine. I am also able to scan from my computer. However, when I go to the printer and select "scan" then "computers" my computer is not listed. I never had a problem with it until now. I can from my computer scan a document, but not from the printer itself. Why is that and why will the printer not list my computer. It does not make any sense!

No the other computer is running Widows 7. The one I am having a problem with is running Vista. It worked before and now it doesn't. All items in Network Sharing Center and "On". Next suggestion! Thanks for all your help by the way. I don't know what else to try. : (

Please read this post then provide some details. What operating system? How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, or Wireless LAN?
Running the diagnostics at http://www.hp.com/go/tools may help resolve the issue if you are using some recent version of Windows.

Setting up a Network folder so that I can scan from my HP 8600 printer

The HP instructions show the likely address for a windows Network folder but say go to the operating system instructions for a Mac. There is nothing on the HP site that gives me a clue as to the folder address. I cannot find a way to get an address for a folder. I created a folder titled " HP Scan " on my Mac Desktop and turned on sharing. I have tried several possible addresses but nothing works. I am connected to a small network via a new Apple Airport Extreme. There are only three things on the network, my Macbook Air, a smart TV and the HP 8600 printer.
Any help appreciated.

You should be able to use the OpenVPN Connect app running on your iPad to connect your iPad to the VPN directly. It is an official OpenVPN client for iOS devices.
In what way is it "not compatible"? Have you tried it? Tunnelblick is an OpenVPN client, so your school's VPN is using the OpenVPN protocol. That means any OpenVPN client should be able to access it. (It is possible, but unlikely, that your school uses encryption that is not available on the iPad, but that would be very unusual.)
Otherwise, a remote control app on your iPad would let you control your Mac at home. "Back to My Mac", for example, would allow you to control your Mac remotely. The tricky part of this is that usually a VPN is set up to send all Internet traffic via the VPN server, and I'm not sure how that would work with "Back to My Mac".

Epson Stylus Photo RX680 with Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter 2 won't pair

This post describes my problem, but I couldn't reply since it has been archived:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7882399&#7882399
I am having the same issue with an Epson Stylus Photo RX680 and their Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter 2. I go to System Preferences -> Bluetooth -> Set Up New Device, click Continue, select Printer, and click Continue. At this point, the Bluetooth Setup Assistant sends me to the Print & Fax System Preferences window. I can add the printer under the Bluetooth heading. It finds the drivers and adds the printer to my printers list, but a test page (or anything else) won't print. The job is added to the queue, but it stops trying to print after a few seconds. If I go to the Bluetooth System Preferences, I can see the printer listed (for a while), and I notice that it is connected but not paired.
If I run the Bluetooth Setup Assistant and select Any Device instead of Printer, I see the printer in the list and can view the Passkey options. It is set to "Use a specific passkey", which is what I need. I have tried changing it to a different option and then changing it back, but it does not seem like this has an effect on how the printer is paired. I have never been asked for a passkey when attempting to add this printer, and I suspect that this is why I cannot print to it.
I have also tried enabling and disabling Bluetooth sharing, and this does not seem to have an effect, whether "require pairing" is checked or not. Isn't there some place where I can choose "Pair this device" once it has been discovered? I find it strange that I can connect to it but have no option to pair afterward (at least that I can find). To make the matter more complicated, the printer disappears from the device list in the Bluetooth System Preferences after about 30 seconds, so I have to remove the printer and reinstall it in order to see the it in the list again.
I am able to print to this printer using bluetooth from a Windows XP machine, so I don't think that there is a problem with the adapter. I am also able to print to this printer using USB, so I don't think that there is a driver problem. I believe (though I certainly could be wrong) that the issue is that the device is not paired. Can anybody help?
Thank you.

I was trying to find a way to use the Epson drivers because the Gutenprint drivers don't support duplexing or feeding out of the front tray on this printer, but at least this got bluetooth printing working. I downloaded the latest Gutenprint drivers (5.2.2), ran the uninstall program first to get rid of the old drivers, and then installed the new ones. I added the printer through the bluetooth heading in the Add Printer dialog, and I selected the RX680 Gutenprint driver (which was not available with the default OS X 10.5.5 installation). Once again, the printer showed up as connected but not paired in the Bluetooth System Preferences, and it disappeared from the device list after a few seconds, but printing works now. The print quality for this printer is much improved by the new drivers as well.
Bluetooth setup is mentioned in the user documentation. It's kind of a joke:
Macintosh computer: Double-click Bluetooth File Exchange in your Utilities folder and follow the on-screen instructions.
That's it. I have been disappointed with this printer on a number of occasions. If you are going to connect directly through USB, then it's probably fine. If you want to use any form of network connectivity, you had better be running Windows on any machine involved.
I'll talk with Epson support to see if I can get any further with their drivers. Since it's supposed to work, I'd like to see if I can get it to happen. Otherwise, I'll return the adapter and share the printer through a spare desktop.

Wireless printer adapter issue

I purchased an HP802.11b/g Wireless Printer Adapter for an HP H470wbt printer; I installed the driver on a laptop with Windows Vista; I could never get the printer to work wirelessly; I recently purchased a new laptop with Windows 7 and attempted to install the wireless printer driver but failed - I believe it is because the driver is not compatible with Windows 7.
I cannot even find the product on HP's website to see if there is any installation upgrade.
Can anyone offer how I might make this work?

OK, I just got it to work....unplug the power cable from the printer, and unplug the power cable from the outlet...wait 30 seconds and replug. If the printer does not power up on it's own, power it up. I also reset my router. After a day of trying to figure this out, it's working. BUT, it definitely had something to do with the Mac Software Update. Hope it works for you!

My 8600 printer (fairly new) will not print: Displays "out of paper". It is NOT out of paper.

I have followed all instructions on the 8600 printer on internet. What do I do to get it printing again.
Just displays "out of paper." I have removed the paper, fanned it, jogged it, etc., but no go.

Try the troubleshootings steps in this document and this document.
