What's my Operating System?
Another option for you, would be to click on this link to get to the driver website, select which operating system you are running and from there you can find the printer software and driver.

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.

How do I print as a "reverse or mirror image" on the HP Officejet Pro 8600 model # N911a

How do I print as a "reverse or mirror image" on the HP Officejet Pro 8600 model # N911a

I have spent hours figuring out how to print a t-shirt transfer since my new HP printer doesn't seem to allow for mirror image printing (yet my old HP printer easily let me select this feature). Here's what worked for me, using Word 2010:
Create the text and insert any images into the document as you normally would.
Go to Insert / WordArt and chose a style of lettering (I don’t think it matters what you choose since you will be cutting and pasting the data from 1 above). A text box will appear and a new "double-decker" tab will appear at the right (Drawing Tools on top and Format below).
Copy what you created in step 1 and paste it into the text box.
Click on the Format tab (the cursor must be inside the text box for the Format tab to be visible).
Choose Text Effects / 3-D Options and then 3-D Rotation Options. A dialogue box will open. For the X value, enter 180. Do not enter anything for the other values. Your image should have rotated to mirror image.
Click Close and save your document.
You should now be able to print your document as usual.
Good luck!

Does the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 support e-print? I am running on Win 7 Pro 64 bit

Can you please tell me: does the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 support e-print? I cannot seem to find or generate or figure out how to create an e-mail address for this printer. Thank you.

Hello BoPeepLamb,
The OfficeJet 8600 Printer does support ePrint. You can access the printers email address by enabling Web Services from the main display on the printer. The icon is located on the top left corner of the screen and looks like piece of paper with circles behind it. Before you can enable Web Services you must make sure you have a valid internet connection first.
Once you have enabled Web Services, you should have a mobile printing sheet print with a printer code and link to http://www.eprintcenter.com where you can create an account and customize your printers email address.
If you have any other questions feel free to reply to this post and I will try to find an answer for you.
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

How do I get the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus to print only black or grayscale? What is the procedure?

How do I set my HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus to print only black or grayscale? What is the procedure?

Hi, Looks like you have to do this from the aplications. Here is the procedure from its manual, page #36: 1. Load paper in the tray. For more information, see Load media.
2. On the File menu in your software application, click Print.
3. Make sure the printer you want to use is selected.
4. To change settings, click the button that opens the Properties dialog box. Depending on your software application, this button might be called Properties, Options, Printer Setup, Printer, or Preferences.
5. Change the paper orientation on the Layout tab, and paper source, media type, paper size, and quality settings on the Paper/Quality tab. To print in black and
white, click the Advanced button, and then change the Print in Grayscale option.
6. Click OK.
7. Click Print or OK to begin printing Regards.

Printing starts too far down the page - officejet pro 8600

Have an officejet pro 8600.
Recently, when printing, two probelms occur...
(1) the document being printed starts printing approx 1.5" to 2" futher down the page then it should. This results in the bottom portion of the document Not being printed.
(2) there is a crease/fold approx 3" from the top of the paper.
It appears that either the paper is being fed too soon or the actual printing is being delayed.
We have cleaned all the rollers and check the star wheel - no damages
Thanks for your help

Hello Ermagherd, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are having issues with your print drivers. I would like to help.
Are you connected USB or wireless?
I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
I would also suggest running your Apple updates: OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the HP Officejet Pro 8600 series Full Feature Software and Driver.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Hp officejet pro 8600 plus stops printing in the middle of printing

I have the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus, it is setup wireless. It will print fine sometimes then it will print half of a page then pause or stop ???? I am using my IMAC computer. Has anyone had this problem, I am wasting too many sheets of paper.

How or where do I find the printer year? HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus

How can I get the printer year for the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus? I have looked in printer staus report and the various labels I can find on the printer itself. I'm sure I'm just missing it.I bought it new, so I do not have any reason to think the information was removed prior to purchase. Thanks

The printer status report has in line 47 the date (rounded to the week) the printhead was installed. Except in the rare case the printhead has been replaced this would correspond to the date the printer was installed.

I purchased software during trial period. The trial has now expired, and is blocking my use of the product that I purchased.

On my OJ Pro 8600, When I go to print a # 10 envelope, it feeds the envelope through and then prints the address on a letter page. I was forced to set the printer preferences to #10 envelope, and within Word, set the paper type to # 10 envelope, set Word up for center feed, and then put everything back to print normally. ON my 6500 all I had to do was hit print. There must be a way to print single envelopes without jumping through all these hoops!!

New (bought last year) Officejet Pro 8600 Plus and I can't get the ADF working.

9 month old Officejet Pro 8600 [CC78E4]
Product Number: CM750A-64001
Serial Number: CN1CD1K1CV
ADF used rarely and on the occasions I have tried it it always gives me this problem - even for a copy as opposed to a scan
ADF not working on 5 page document
Tried using 1 page
always get "Reload original in the automatic document feeder (ADF) and try again@
either from the front panel or from the HP scan utility on my PC.
I have been through the process recommended on your support pages for resetting the printer (remove power cord)

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.

The printer is being used on the desktop as a network printer. Windows Firewall is turned off. Office uses Trend Micro Antivirus.

They are also not sure what is to be done rectify the problem.
