I have set the printer up 1st on the network with a lan cable and then after also tried doing a wireless network. Both prints fine but airprint remains unavailible.
Please assit on what I might be doing wrong? 

Hi,
Firstly please check to see if your printer in the list:

If YES, you can use this to fix
iPad: http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/airprint/
iPhone: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/airprint/
If NO you have to print using other apps (if applicable) such as

  • Officejet pro 8600 waiting for job to complete on Mac

    Hi
    I have the problem where after printing the I get the message "waiting for job to complete" which never goes away by itself. I can manually delete the item and then continue to print repeating the process every time I need to pringt.
    I have read the forums and found similar issues but not exactly the same and the recommendation for that was to reset the print system and resinstall. I did that but the problem persists.
    Printer: Officejet pro 8600 Plus
    OS: OSX 10.9.3
    Connection: Wireless and  USB (same issue with both)
    When I initially installed the printer it worked fine. When I upgraded to 10.9 it worked fine but the problem arose soon after.
    Thanks
    This question was solved.

    Welcome to the forums MedlandLime,
    I understand you are seeing a message saying "waiting for job to complete" after you print and the message will not dissipate. I saw that you have reset the print system and reinstalled and the message continues. I have some more ideas that might help.
    First of all, test the printer hardware itself and make a couple of copies. If the copies work fine, the printer is okay!
    Next, try updating the printers Firmware through the front panel: Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates
    If the issue still persists, follow these steps in order:
    Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
    Repair disk permissions
    Restart the computer
    Re-add the printer and ensure it's the HP driver and not the AirPrint driver: HP Officejet Pro 8600 series Full Feature Software and Driver- OS X 10.9 Mavericks
    Please let me know the results!
    Have a great Monday

  • Hp officejet pro 8600 plus - connected to the wireless but AirPrint not working

    i have an hp officejet pro 8600 plus.  had it for 6 months or so.  intial setup went fine...connected to the wireless network with no problems...airprint worked instantly from all of my apple devices.  recently, in the last 3 weeks, airprint has stopped working. when i turn the printer off and turn it back on, airprint will work for about 5 minutes.  but then it stops working.  it is like the printer is losing wireless connectivity, but the wirless diagnostics show it to be connected fine.
    i have an apple airport exptreme router.  it is showing to be connected just fine to the network and i can see the printer's mac address as a wireless client in the Airport Utility.
    any ideas?

    Hi henryje,
    Sorry to hear you are experiencing these issues. I would be glad to help.
    Try changing the channel on the AirPort Extreme router to channel 11 or any channel that seem less congested.
    You can check you network channel environment by printing a Network Configuration page from the Wireless Settings menu on printer front panel. The second page of the printout will display all detected networks by the printer listed by signal strength. You can also use InSSIDer: http://www.techspot.com/downloads/5936-inssider.html
    Printers also do not support the 5GHz band, so if your network uses 5GHz only, you can disable this in the AirPort Extreme router config page.

  • How do i get the hp officejet pro 8600 premium to print from my ipad2 using airprint?

    how do i get the hp officejet pro 8600 premium to print from my ipad2 using airprint? The iPad does not see the printer.

    Hi RiverBirch,
    What brand and model is your router?
    First, connect your printer to your router.
    1. From printer front panel, press Wireless>Wireless Settings>Wireless Setup Wizard and follow the onscreen instructions to successfully connect your printer with an IP address.
    Secondly, connect your iPad to the same router.
    1. Connect your iPad to the Internet and download the free HP ePrint Home & Biz app from the apps store.
    2. Connect your iPad to the same network as the printer. Settings>Network.
    3. Use the new HP Home & Biz app to print and scan photos or docs from your iPad!
    Alternatively, you can also perform Airprint on the iPad thru the wireless network from the Photos menu in your iPad.

  • Hp officejet pro 8600 and macbookair

    My HP officejet pro 8600 was picked up by my new MACbook air without a problem, however each time i go to print or scan it will not connect unless I power off and on the printer. Then it works fine until next time I go to print-- I have to do same thing?? Any thoughts

    Hi @sprtssurg,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I see everytime you try to print and scan, you need to power off and on the HP Officejet Pro 8600. I notice you said your MacBook Air running the Yosemite 10.10 Operating system picked up the OJ 8600 right away, does this mean you did not install the full feature software and drivers or did you just install using the AirPrint Driver?
    Leave me with the following information:
    1. What is the Exact model of HP OJ 8600 Printer are you using, as there are a few in the 8600 series?
    2. Do you get any error messages on the Mac, printer offline etc.?
    3. How is the printer connected, USB or Wireless?
    I hope to hear from you soon, so we can begin troubleshooting.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600

    Hi,
    I'm new to the forum and hope I can get help here. I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600 and it doesn't print since I updated my late 2009 iMac and my new MacBook Pro to OS X Yosemite (it used to work just fine with Mavericks). I am connected via wifi.
    I am using the latest driver (HP-Inkjet-SW-OSX-Mavericks_v12.34.37) which is offered on the HP support site for OS X 10.10 and I've also installed the latest HPPrinter Drivers3.0.
    I can print a test page and I can print test- and configuration pages from the HP Utility, but I can't print an email or a pages document. It says it finds the printer and goes to 100%, but nothing happens.
    I already have:
    - deleted all the printers and reset the printing system
    - installed the above mentioned drivers
    - repaired Volume Access Rights
    When I install the printer, it will not install with AirPrint checked (it says printer cannot be found) - I can only install using the HP Driver...
    This is my Protocol:
    E [07/Nov/2014:16:19:43 +0100] DNSServiceRegister failed with error -65537
    E [20/Nov/2014:12:11:11 +0100] [Job 1] Druckerstatus konnte nicht abgerufen werden.
    E [20/Nov/2014:12:15:11 +0100] [Job 2] Druckerstatus konnte nicht abgerufen werden.
    E [20/Nov/2014:12:22:40 +0100] [Job 4] Druckerstatus konnte nicht abgerufen werden.
    E [20/Nov/2014:12:46:07 +0100] [Job 1] Druckerstatus konnte nicht abgerufen werden.
    E [20/Nov/2014:12:50:34 +0100] [Job 4] Druckerstatus konnte nicht abgerufen werden.
    Scanning works just fine.
    Interesting enough I can print documents from my iPhone, also connection wireless.
    Thankful for any ideas, this is absolutely annoying...

    I did at around 5am, will try again tonight. Will let you know

  • Can the mac air print to HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus Wireless e-All-in-One?

    Can the mac air print to HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 plus Wireless e-all-in-one?

    AirPrint is an iOS 5 protocol.  It is not used on the Mac or Lion.  What you *can* do is add the wireless printer to you network and print from the mac using that.

  • HT4356 I have two printers on my network.  Does anyone know how to change the printer nomenclature - Officejet Pro 8600  (0B54AF) to a recognizable name...like Brad's Office?

    I have two printers on my network.  Does anyone know how to change the printer nomenclature - Officejet Pro 8600  (0B54AF) to a recognizable name...like Brad's Office when you use Airprint?

    You would have to change that in the printer's settings on the printer, if that option is offered by the manufacturer. The iPhone just finds printers on the network and uses the name they have given themselves or that were given to them when they were set up.

  • How do I print grayscale with an HP Officejet Pro 8600?

    I have an "HP Officejet Pro 8600 Pro e-All-in-One" printer. Can I print grayscale or black and white with it?
    I'm running OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion. In System Preferences for Print & Scan, I chose the driver called "HP Officejet Pro 8600" (rather than the default of "AirPrint"). In the print dialog box, under "Color Matching", I select "ColorSync" rather than "Vendor Matching" and get a list of seven ColorSync profiles as shown below, none of which are grayscale or black and white.
    Am I simply out of luck because HP hasn't provided the necessary feature?

    With the most recent batch of printer drivers, the vendors have provided their own grayscale setting rather than creating a ICC profile and adding it to the ColorSync library. So if you set Color Matching back to Vendor and then change from the Color Matching menu to one of the HP menus, maybe there is a Grayscale option available this way.
    With reference to my Canon MP990, I don't use HP so don't know the menu names, I have a Quality menu and within here is the Grayscale setting.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 N911a not able to air print since Maverick update

    My Officejet Pro 8600 N911a worked fine printing wireless before the newest Maverick upgrade.  Now it will only print one print job after I turn the printer off and then back on.  If I connect the computer to the printer, it seems to work fine, so it has to do with the upgrade and airprint.  I have just downloaded the current Mavericks plug in, but there is no change.

    When you say Airprint, are you printing Wireless diect to the 8600 or is the 8600 connected to your wireless network?
    When you say the latest plu-n, do you mean the update from Apple Software Update (Apple Store) or the full 10.9 solution from HP.com?
    In either case I would recommend first just deleting the print queue on the Macintosh and re-adding it.  If that does not resolve the issue try resetting teh print system and adding the printer back new.
    Try performing a "reset print system" on teh Macintosh and then reconnecting to the printer.
    To reset the print system perform the following:
    1. Open System Preferences
    2. Click on the Print & Scan
    3. click or click in the box listing the current print queues.
    4. Select Reset printing system...
    5. Enter admin User Name and Password
    6. Reboot the Macintosh
    7. Try setting up the printer again

  • 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.

  • "Try Selecting a Different Printer or File Type" Error - iPad2 - Officejet Pro 8600 - ePrint error

    Greetings...
    I just got an Officejet Pro 8600 and I've been trying to get web pages to print using HP ePrint from my iPad 2 (iOS 7.0.6). I go into the ePrint app, go to web page of choice, and then click on my printer option to print. It renders on screen and then throws out the following error:
    "Try Selecting a Different Printer or File Type" "Officejet Pro 8600 [5124FC] doesn't support this file type."
    I can use ePrint from the iPad to print pictures from camera roll.
    This only is problematic when I try to print web pages (I tried amazon.com for test).
    I have no problems doing this from my iPhone...only the iPad.
    I've tried rebooting device and trying again....same thing.
    Anybody know how to fix this? I really want to be able to print web pages from my iPad.
    Thanks in advance...
    Possie

    Hello Possie,
    Thank you for the update.  I have to say I'm surprised and disappointed that the uninstall and reinstall did not resolve the issue, especially since you can print the page from your iPhone.
    I have spent some time researching this and working with my colleagues in HP's Cloud Services and we have a couple of suggestions/questions.
    Do you get the same error when you try to print the web page using Apple's AirPrint feature? 
    Please ensure the iPad is connect to your home wireless network and try to print again.
    Please try changing the settings in the ePrint app before printing the web page.  Please ensure that the paper quality is set to normal (see screen shot below) and that the paper size is set to letter (see 2nd screen shot below).
    Please let us know how it goes.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus - Apps Error - 'Connection Error'

    Hi,
    Newbie question maybe, but it's got me a little stumped.
    I've an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus on a wired connection to my Sky router/ADSL modem, using a static IP.
    when I go into Apps it pulls down a list of the installed Apps OK, but when I select any one from the printer control pad it tries to connect then throws an error.  I can;t see a place I should set anythign up.
    I have a woerkign hp ePrint Center account, ePrint works (eventually!) when I email docs to my eprint email address, adn also via Google Cloud Print and Apple AirPrint.  While it;s not ruining my life, I would like all of the printer functions to work :-)
    I can print to a network folder, as long as it;s on a PC, although my NAS it won;t print to for some reason, but I guess that's a further question :-)
    Any help very much appreciated!!!!
    MF668

    Hi MF668,
    Try setting an alternative DNS and check if that may help:
    Press the wireless icon on the top of the printer screen and locate tis IP address.
    Browse to the printer's IP through the web browser on your PC.
    Click the Network tab.
    Under Wired click on IPv4.
    Under DNS Address Configuration select Manual.
    Set the Preferred address as 8.8.8.8
    Set the Alternate address as 8.8.4.4
    Click Apply to confirm the change.
    Now turn the printer Off and back On and check for any difference.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus Connection Issues

    My boss stricly uses his iPad and has the Officejet Pro 8600 Plus for wireless printing. However, he's been having major problems printing.  The iPad appears to see the printer on AirPrint, but nothing is getting printed. We've tried connecting the printer directly to our network, and it still won't print. We even got a new wireless router (Linksys E900 Wirless-N300 Router) but that has not seemed to help with the issue. I previously had the officejet 8500 and had multiple problems with it connecting wireless, to the point we just got rid of it. Are there any workarounds other than getting a new printer?

    Hi,
    Airprint uses Apple's Bonjour which relies on Multicasting.
    From my experience, Linksys routers do not have Multicast enabled by their default configuration.
    Try modifying the router configuration by entering the router homepage (Its address should be the same as the Default Gateway listed on the printer once clicking the network icon.
    From the router config click Security.
    Check the checkbox next to Filter Multicast and Save the settings.
    Reboot the router and check for any change.
    If the issue persists I would also recommend checing for any firmware update to your router, those can improve Multicast traffic handaling in many cases..
    Hope that helps,
    Shlomi

  • Google cloud print for officejet pro 8600 - could not get printer information from hp.

    I just purchased a new OfficeJet Pro 8600 today. Everything seems to work great except for the connector to Google Cloud Print. I can print from AirPrint, as well as emails to the hpeprint.com address, but when I try to register via the google site, I receive the "could not get printer information from HP" error message.
    The printer is connected via wireless ethernet, and seems to work find otherwise. I have no restrictions on who can send print jobs, and I have changed the email address for hpeprint.com a few times, as suggested in other forum threads, but it can never connect to the the Cloud Print service. I am at the latest firmware level listed on the HP website. I have tried to initiate the connection from multiple PC's as well as multiple web browsers.
    This was a big factor in purchasing this printer. Help anyone?
    This question was solved.

    Hey rch33k, I am sorry for the ongoing issue that you are having accessing Google Cloud Print. This is being looked into as this is not a singular issue and is affecting other customers as well.  Engineers are currently investing this problem to try and provide a solution to it.  I want to again apologize and thank you all for your patience in this matter.  They only other thing to attempt at this time is to contact Google for further assistance to see if anything can be done on their end. Hopefully this will be fixed quickly
