Accessing SD Card over network - Officejet Pro 8600

Is it possible to access the SD card slot on my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus from my computer over my network? My printer is a wired connection to my router. I would like to copy the photos on it to a folder on my computer.

Networked Officejet Pro 8600 - One PC lost track of the Printer part

On 9/23/13 my main PC stopped being able to print with my Officejet Pro 8600n. Everything had been working fine, then nothing. That PC can still scan with the 8600, but cannot print. Of course, I swear that I have "changed nothing." :+)
The problem persists whether the printer is connected to the router with a cable or wirelessly.
My #2 PC can still print with the 8600 as it did before so I know it's still capable of printing.
The HPPSdr utility is bad crazy, claiming that the problem PC is not connected to the internet when it IS connected.
When I try to analyze this, I get:
- The network is working correctly. Other PCs can use it to print, the problem PC can use it to scan.
- The 8600 is connected to the network. Evidence is the stuff that it still does do.
- The 8600 is in good working order. It does everything it used to do, just not from every PC.
- This seems to leave a bad driver or something like it in the problem PC. Why didn't the 99 re-installs that I've done fix this?
I've Googled this problem and read a LOT of defeatist posts griping about Microsoft and HP. I've read about Miracle Cures from running HPPSdr, but didn't experience one myself. I'm concerned that so many have complained of problems like this but there's no commonly known fix.
I looked at Windows Restore Points on the problem PC and found that they only seem to go back to 9/23 (?). The notes for service applied on the 23rd at 3am mentioned an HP module in the Affected Modules box. ??? I clicked "Show more Restore Points" but it didn't.
I hope that somebody can square me away on this one, or at least get me started.
Thanks in advance!
:+)

No luck from turning the firewall off.
Ditto for the power sequence.
I wonder if there is a procedure available to COMPLETELY uninstall my HP Officejet Pro 8600n from the offending PC.
I have deleted the printer and tried re-installing from the CD. Also tried from the downloaded latest install package. I'm used to this, as over time one or another of my HP printers has disappeared from a computer. Until this time, it's been a nuisance (but no more) to get them back.
This time, when I try the "Add A Printer" route:
- The "Searching For Available Printers" window opens and the printer is displayed with its correct TCP/IP address (192.168.1.103)
- When I click on that printer and then click Next a window titled "Detecting TCP/IP Port" opens and tells me "Detecting the TCP/IP port...Windows will automatically move to the next page when the detection is done."
- The next page is titled "Additional port information required". It tells me that the device is not found on the network, and to "be sure that
1. The device is turned on. (It is)
2. The network is connected. (It is)
3. The device is properly configured" (It is. Remember that I can print here from other PCs.)
(there's more...)
The weirdness goes on from there. I end up with a screen that says good installation, but when I try to print a test page, it won't. (Printing - error)
I have screen shots of the entire procedure in PDF form. I'll post them if somebody wants to see them, I also have screen shots from a run of HPPCdr.
My PC is a Lenovo desktop running Windows7 with current service.
My router is a Linksys EA4500.
Now what?
Thanks again.

Officejet Pro 8600 Wireless Setup -Printing shows in Queue and then disappears. Not Printing

I just received the Officejet Pro 8600 as a gift and loaded the set up software and it on my wireless network. When I try to print an email or a coupon, the command goes to the printer and shows in the queue. Then after several seconds, the printing queue (job) disappears without printing the document. Does this command go through the HP ePrint function or the Network Officejet Pro 8600? It shows the HP ePrint as being on USB.
I've run all of the diagnostics, downloaded all of the new software, firmware and updates. I've spend many hours trying to get the printer to print.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hi @bksechols
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I understand that when you send a print job to your Officejet 8600 printer that it goes to the print queue and then disappears without the print job printing.
To better assist you, would you please provide some additional information?
How is the printer connected (USB cable, ethernet, or wireless)?
What operating system are you using?
Are all print jobs failing? If yes and you are using a Windows operating system, please Try the HP Print and Scan Doctor for Windows. The HP Print and Scan Doctor is a free utility (tool) that helps to quickly resolve common printing, scanning and connectivity issues.
When you send a print job are emailing the printer’s ePrint email address? If so please review The HP ePrint Print Job Did Not Print If you are sending the print job by using the print command, please review the Print Jobs from Your HP Printer are Stuck in the Print Queue document.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Unable to access Apps on HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

Hi guys,
I can print wirelessly and print remotely using the ePrint apps on my iphone and ipad. Until recently, I have been able to access the apps, but this has stopped. I now get the following error message:
"The printer was unable to connect to the server. Chieck your internet connection and try again."
The internet connection is stable and fine. Any ideas?

Hello londonlaw,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
Sorry to hear about the recent issue when trying to access apps on your Officejet Pro 8600, I would like to offer a few suggestions that may help.
Check for updates on the printer, Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates.
Power off the printer and ensure the power cord is connected to a wall out let.
Next you want to power reset the router. If it has a power button press that, if not, remove the power cord. Wait 60 seconds and then allow it to power back up. Once router is fully on, power up the printer.
Try to access an app, if it works there is no need to continue. If it doesn't, try the next suggestion.
Refer to this Thread answered by a colleague of mine happytohelp01 : Efax 7510 still won't work after turning off/on ePrint several times. Follow the steps to setup a Manual I.P and DNS for the printer over the network. The steps will be the same, if not very similar for your printer as the one in the above post.
Try to an app once done, if still unable, continue below.
Go back to the above Thread, rather than using the DNS suggested try this set; Primary DNS Server : 209.244.0.3 & Secondary DNS Server : 209.244.0.4.
Try to access an app, if the feature is still not working you will need to call HP's Cloud Support team. If you live in the USA/Canada, 1-855-785-2777. If you live outside the USA/Canada, click HERE to find the Technical Support number for your country/region.
I hope this has helped, if it has, please let me know what step helped.

Hp Officejet Pro 8600 Premium - wireless home network printing from multiple devices

We have a wireless home network with several desk tops, lap tops and tablets using the network for internet access. There is only one printer in the home, our hp Officejet pro 8600 Premium. Right now everyone who has access to the network can print. We want to prevent printing from specific devices while allowing printing from others. How do I password protect the printer so that only certain devices may print? Or alternatively, remotely prevent devices from printing?

Well this is a little tricky. You have a 'home' network so we assume you want everyone to print went they want. If you are talking about 'guest' that come over and use the printer, the best thing is to get a router with a Guest Network which isolates your home network.
That being said there is no 'password' you can put on the printer , however you can add security.
Start/Devices and Printers/ Right click on your printer and select Printer Properties , select the Security Tab. Now you can set security.

Scan To network folder - HP officejet pro 8600 cannot connect.

Good morning,
For the last week or so, My officejet pro 8600 has been giving me the error
"Cannot connect to \\REDACTED\Public\Scans. Make sure the remote computer is turned on."
It will correct itself if we restart the computer/printer in question. but this only solves the issue for approx 6-7 hours.
Things i have done to attempt to fix this.
Set a static ip address for both the computer in question and the printer itself.
updated the IP address using the HP tool.
reinstalled the HP office program.
Set DMZ for both the computer and printer.
Set the public scans folder to zero security( so anyone connected to the network can gain unrestricted access)
re-setup the network feature on the printer itself.
however now i am at a loss.
Any help would be great.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 is not recognised on the network

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Printer runs on home network (wired) through PC with Windows Vista Business , Service Pack 2. I have printed off HP Configuration Page and the WINS status shows Primary (and Secondary) Server Addresses as 0.0.0.0
Printer is visible on the network with an IP Address of 192.168.0.10 so I guess the question is how do I change the Primary Server Address on the printer itself? Or is there something else I should be doing?
I have another printer (Photosmart 2610) on the network which works fine. I have swapped cables over between both printers and the Photosmart 2610 works with fine; Officejet 8600 does not work at all.
I have run HP Diagnostic Utility - it finds Photosmart 2610 but not Officejet 8600.
I'd appreciate any help going ...

HP Officejet Pro 8600 network problems

HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't be accessed through router. ROKU changed some settings in router. What settings are a must?

There are so many different settings. Do you know which ones the ROKU changed?
Do other wireless devices still connect to the router OK?
In most cases the printer should adapt to changes unless they are the network name and password. If you haven't tried ityet turn the printer off, let sit a minute then turn it back on again. That will force the printer to negotiate with the router to get any settings changes. If the blue LED on the printer does come back on lit (no blink) then the printer is communicating with the wireless network properly again and your problem might be with a IP address change.
Let me know the status of the blue LED on the printer after the power cycle.

Intermittently having issue sending scans to networked directory folder HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g

Hello All,
I have a printer installed an AIO HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g which is cappable of scanning either by flatbed or feeder to a networked drive/folder. For the most part this works fine, however 2 times out of 10 it produces the following error;
"Cannot connect to \\'Server details\Folder location path'. Make sure the remote computer is turned on."
Now I have seen many post about disabling the filewall and other, however none of this type after an install.
Some obvous checks have been made already, Network cable replace, Changing of the destination folder location, and reseting the password for the scanner to auth as well as confirming the permisions. And each time the tests via the web console and physical tests work fine though this doesn't last.
Could anyone help?
Thanks

Hi @Paperjam27
From your description, it sounds like the issue is intermittent. It can sometimes be challenging to identify the root cause of an issue when the problem is not consistent, but I am happy to work with you towards a solution. I suspect the issue might have something to do with the network. I know you said you have tried a new cable and done some troubleshooting already but bear with me here.
When you say you replaced the cable, do you have an Ethernet cable connected between the printer and the router? if not, then I wonder if there is some sort of interference on your wireless connection. Is your router is a dual band router broadcasting both 2.4 and 5.0 frequency? The printer only works on 2.4GHz, maybe this is the root cause.
The channel your router is set to can impact your network consistency too. For example, if you are on channel 11 and others in your area are also on channel 11 or even 9 or 10 it causes congestion on that channel. Think of the channel like a highway or interstate, the more cars on that highway/interstate, the slower you go due to congestion, if you are on a highway with less people are on it, it is more like smooth sailing! You can print a network configuration page to see what channel you are using and see what channel others in your area are no. If the higher channels are most common you might consider changing yours to 1, 2, or 3, and visa versa. How to: Printing a Network Configuration Page.
has this ben an issue since you have had the printer or did it recently start happening? If this only recently started, can you think of anything that changed recently? Do you have only one access point (router) or do you have a secondary router or extender? Can you think of anything that might be interfering with your network, and do you find the issue occurs more at a certain time of the day than others?
I found on my network at home, I was often seeing delays in response time in the early evening because others are coming home from school and work and 'clogging up the channel', I changed the channel and have had little to no issue since.
Let me know if you think of anything, and post back with the answers to the questions I have posted and I will get back to you. Thanks.

HP officejet pro 8600 plus need to reset, but no screen access due to head error

hi,
I had some HP's 8600 but one of them it is dead as printer and it was replaced.
I need to use it only as scanner (no printing since its problem are the printing heads). The problem I cannot access to the menu through the screen since it is stock with the message mentioning the fail on printing head. The next option it is to watch a demo about heads.
Im trying to access in order to fix a new static ip for the scan.
Is there a way to reset so the printing gets an dhcp ip add? So far the scanner works fine through USB connection.
Thanks in advance

Hello @Rodrigo_cl,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer has encountered a hardware Printhead failure and is not allowing you to scan using a static IP because of this. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue.
Now, due to the error on the front panel of the printer, you will not be able to perform any resets on your machine. But, if your printer is currently on the network with an automatic IP we can utilize the embedded web server to configure a static IP.
Is your printer currently on your wireless or wired network?
Once I know if your printer is currently on the network, I can guide you towards configuring the static IP through the computer. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hp Officejet Pro 8600 Plus network printing problems

I hard wired my Hp Officejet Pro 8600 plus with an ethernet cable to my router to enable other computers on my network to print to my printer. Several problems have resulted because of this:
1. I cannot find my printer in the Device Manager: it shows as an "unknown device"
2. Sometimes pdf files will print and sometimes they will not. Word and Excel files sometimes print, and sometimes don't.
3. Sometimes documents will spool, but then I get the following message: "Unable to communicate with printer." Then it asks me to make sure all cables are connected and power is on, which is the case.
I have tried all kinds of troubleshooting with information found in Hp forum and on Hp website. Finally, using the HP Print and Scan doctor, I deleted and reinstalled the printer and updated the Full software and drivers. Then I got a message saying "the printer is on your network, but the network software is unable to find it using the typical network discovery method. You can install the printer and operate it normally over the network using the IP address of your printer." I inserted the IP address and it took me through various steps to final installation. I typed a short message into a new document on Microsoft Word and it printed, Then I tried to print some information from the HP website, but this did not print; it didn't even spool.
My router is not detecting the printer on the network either, the light on the port bearing the network cable connected directly to the printer has never been shown to be on, like the other lights. I have been struggling with this for the last several months.
I have an Hp computer, running on Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit). I prefer to use my printer over a network ethernet cable instead of wireless. Please help!

I believe this is the cause of your problem. First, try another known working port in the router. Next, change the Ethernet cable with a known good cable.

Officejet Pro 8600 won't remain available on network

I only recently started TRYING to use my Officejet Pro 8600 via my home network to no avail; I previously had it directly wired via USB to my computer.
The printer is accessible on my home network for a while, then becomes unavailable. This problem occurs when the printer is conneced via Wi-Fi or directly via ethernet to my router; I have to turn the printer off then on for it to be accessible again.
I have tried using a static IP address, with both wireless and wired connections, without success; I even tried setting the SYSTEM MODE TIMEOUT to zero via the ENGINEERING MENU, again without sustained success.
Problem is present when accessing the printer with my Windows, Mac, and iOS devices; the printer firmware is up-to-date.
I have had NO similar problems with my plain Officejet 8600 (NOT the Pro variant) at my office; it is connected by Wi-Fi via the same brand and model router.
HELP!!!!!!

Hi @FineTuningDan
It sounds like when the printer goes into sleep mode it loses connection to the network.
This document contains information about the possible causes of a lost wireless connection, tips for avoiding the issue, tips for maintaining a connection, and troubleshooting steps to help you restore the wireless connection on your printer; Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
In addition to the solutions offered in the document and what you have probably already tried, please ensure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet and not into a surge protector/ power bar. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector
In this document you will see,
ISSUE:
Problems or issues may arise when an HP LaserJet series printer is connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), a power strip, or a surge protector
This is not limited to Laserjet printers.
Also, use the steps below to disable UPnP in the printers EWS,
1. Typing the printers assigned IP address into the address bar of Internet Explorer. (you can get this from the report you would have printed while following the steps in the document I posted above)
2. Click on the Network Tab at the top
3. Select the Networking option on the left
4. Click on UPnP option on the left
5. Select the 'Disable UPnP' radio button
6. Click 'Apply'
I hope this helps.

Officejet pro 8600 will not connect to wireless network

I have an new Officejet Pro 8600 that I am trying to set up. I have run the the wireless network setup wizard multiple times. It recognizes the wireless network router asks for the WEP code and then thinks for about 5 minutes before returning a message: "Unable to connect to the network"
The wireless network test results suggestes that MAC address filtering may be the problem. There is no MAC filtering function activated on our wireless router.
The wireless router is a Verizon Actiontec MI424-WR 802.11 b & n
We have computers running both Windows XP and MAC OS X.
One of the reasons that we purchased this printer is for the wireless capabilities. If it will not conect to the web then it may be going back.

Hello,
Based on the provided details, I believe the issue have something to do with the wireless security settings of your router.
Please follow the steps below to access the Advanced Security Settings:
http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/FiOSInternet/Networking/Setup/ActiontecMI424/125511.htm
Below you will see the Network Authentication settings.
Select either Open System Authentication or Both.
Shared Key Authentication is not supported by the printer, and i believe this might be the cause for the connection failure.
Please let me know of any change,
Shlomi

Intermittent wired network connection on HP OfficeJet Pro 8600

I've searched the forums and I haven't seen a problem/solution quite like I am experiencing, so I am starting a new thread.
I have a HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 that will only keep an intermittent connection to my router. Lately, it has been more often not than connected. I usually have to disconnect and connect the Ethernet cable to the back of the printer several times before it will show a connection, and then, only for a little while before it drops the connection again. When connected, everything works fine (printing, faxing, scanning).
When the printer is disconnected, the network status has a yield sign with an exclamation point inside. There are no blinking lights on the back where the network cable connects. When it connects (by me plugging and unplugging), the lights start flickering. I've tried several cables including known good ones to rule that possibility out. Cycling the power has no consistent affect. The router is otherwise working fine.
Here are other details that might help:
Model: HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 (N911a)
Firmware: up-to-date
Software drivers: up-to-date
Router: CISCO E3200
Connection: wired network
Static IP address reserved (not connecting with DHCP)
MAC filtering off
Main Computer: Windows 7 Service Pack 1
Wired Connection to the router
Can someone suggest a solution? My best guess is that the network card in the printer is bad, but I am willing to try an easier solution. Thanks.

Hi, are there any other peripherals using the RJ45 ports on the router?
Are you using a static IP address for the 8600?

OfficeJet Pro 8600 wireless network wizard only allows 25 characters of 26 character WEP encryption

HP OfficeJet Pro 8600
OS = Windows Vista
Router = Linksys Wireless G 2.4 Ghz
I am replacing wireless 8500 home network printer with a new 8600 wireless printer
When using the 8600 wireless setup wizard I cannot get any further than attempting to enter my Router's 26 character encryption code because it only allows 25 characters to be entered. I seem to recall having the same setup problem with the 8500 three years ago, but I do not recall what the solution was.

HP Total Care reply was that new all-in-one printers now support 25 characters. Router tech support says the router's wireless security settings can be changed into a 10 digit key. For an out of warrantee router like mine I would have to access it by using its internet address and user password which is long forgotten and fails me from accessing. So, I am considering upgrading to a newer 5 Ghz router and will use a smaller WPA2 key.
