Can't print to 8600 All-In-One after awhile

I have an 8600 All-In-One N911A and it is connected to my network via wired Ethernet and after power up, I can print to the printer via my Mac's and ipad/iphone no problem. After some preiod of time (hours) none of my devices can print to the printer however I CAN get to it via a web browser by IP Address.
I get the message printer is not responding or looking for printer and if I power cycle the device it can be seen/printed to again but the issue repeats itself after a few hours.
Any clue what could be casuing this with all my devices? My main router is a fairly new Linksys Router/Wireless/Switch and it seems like a printer. I had a similar problem with an 8500 which I replaced thinking it had a networking hardware failure so I don't think it is a bad printer given this is the second one with a problem.

Hi checkyou,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
Sorry to hear that you are having connectivity issues with the printer to the WiFi. I have seen this issue and I was able to resolve the issue by doing one easy step. If you happen to have the printer power cable connected to a power bar/strip, please remove it and connect it directly to a wall outlet. HP printers already have built in surge protector and if you have the power cable connected to a bar/strip, the printer will not get all the power it needs to function properly and this could very well be the reason why you are having issues.
Here is a document that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Please note that the printer that is listed in the document is a LaserJet printer and it is only used as an example. This document is meant for HP products in general.
If this does not resolve the issue, please feel free to write me back.
Thank you for your time.

Can't Print in C6280 all in one

A few days ago I tried to print out a map and directions from mapquest. It's about 1.3 mb. It wouldn't print and I'm unable to delete it. The choices I'm given are pause, resume, cancel, restart and properties. I've tried them all to no avail. Now I can't print anything except a test page. What do I do?
Thank you!

1. You are up to date with drivers, yes?
2. Can you provide an example?
3. If the coupon is displayed on screen can you print the whole page instead of clicking a print link?

Can'[t print on C3150 - All-in-one

I can print from any other program, test page etc... but not from ID CS3 or from Acrobat (a pdf made in CS3), pulls paper in as if to print, then nothing else... I've tried all settings I think. Any ideas, or where to go for help. I called this a LJ3150 in previous post, can understand why nobody answered... Thanks L W I'm on an XP SP2, Desktop, printer is on USB port.

Just a thought, have you got spooling turned on in the printer properties? If so, turn it off.
Go to Printers folder, select it and change the defaults.

Can't print on my all-in-one 6413 two consecutive prints.

The printer is connected to a wireless router with a network cable.
I'm printing from a Windows 7 laptop connected wirelessly to the router, no security key only MAC address.
No problems when surfing.
Every time I send a print or more than one I have to troubleshoot the printer, even when the first print comes OK the second attempt fails and I need to troubleshoot again, turn off/on the printer etc.
Removed and reinstalled driver using the latest version on the internet without luck.
Installed it as a network printer.
After initial install the test page comes out just fine, no problems whatsoever.
Although it supports wireless printing I'm using it as a network printer not a wireless connection.
Any idea what may cause this? Why the initial setting is not saved?
This question was solved.

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

Hp officejet pro 8600 all in one prints but won't scan

I have recently moved house and changed my wireless router from BT to Virgin.
I am running OS X 10.9.5
I am able to print from my mac without issue, however, it has stopped scanning. I have managed to get it to work twice on isolated instances but it won't work consistently.
I have unistalled the software and reinstalled via the HP download page but when I open HP Scan and click scan it asks me to choose which scanner - mine is selected, it then says preparing to scan and it does that for ages until it says it can't get a connection.
My printe r is a HP Officejet Pro 8600 All-in-one N911g - I am not bothered that much about scanning from the printer to the computer (I have tried to enable this option and it won't let me) I just want to be able to open HP Scan and press scan and it scan on my computer.
Any advice appreciated - thank you

Hi there @Steph390 , welcome to the forums!
I have some suggestions for you to hopefully correct the scanning issue you are having. Please feel free to reply back and let me know the results!
1. Try power cycling the network devices:
Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer.
2. Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
3. Repair disk permissions
4. Restart your computer.
5. Re-add the printer
Once the printer is connected on the network, follow these steps to maintain the wireless connection, normally a static IP will help out quite a bit: Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection
Good luck to you

HP 8600 all in one Printer Scanner to Computer with Windows 8

i can not get the printer to reconize the Computor i want to scan to i Have HP Printer 8600 all in one printer and HP computor with Windows 8 (wireless)

Hello Stringfield, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing scan issues. I would like to help.
I would suggest performing a power reset on the printer. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would then recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Please let me know the results. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

8600 all in one won't print or scan documents placed directly on glass?

I have a new Officjet 8600 All In One model N911A. I can't get it to print or scan a document placed directly on the glass. It will print and scan using the auto document feeder only.
I am working wirelessly and tried to run the HP Hardware Diagnostic Utility but it tells me the printer isn't connected to my computer. Ugh!
All I wanted to do was copy a page from a magazine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK, try installing this firmware. Depending on which OS you have, please select the link below:
Windows 7
Windows 8
Try to copy and scan after this update.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 All-In-One Inkjet Printer

Hello, I have an HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 All-In-One Inkjet Printer. It started out working fine, but the touchscreen got lighter and lighter and would finally go out. Now, I cannot see the screen at all and therefore am unable to use the printer. I tried to delete the printer from my computer and reload the driver, but the driver requires that I use the touchscreen to initiate installation of the wireless capabilities and so forth. Without being able to have the touchscreen light up, I am unable to see and follow the directions to hook it back up to the computer. Any ideas? Does HP make a replacement touchscreen for this product? I bought this one because I have another one that works perfectly at home and was hoping to use this one at work. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @Wayne3
I saw your post about how the display screen on your Officejet 8600 has gotten lighter and lighter until the display was unreadable. I have a few ideas in mind that might help you.
Update the firmware on the printer with a USB cable plugged into the printer, and computer.
Click here to download the firmware update: HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a Firmware
Try a power reset and ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help greatly.
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
I hope the steps help you! If the screen continues to have the same problem, give us a call to see what your printer options are:

Do I need to download drivers for an HP 8600 all in one printer after upgrading to Mavericks from Mountain Lion?

I am about to upgrade my Mac's OS from Mountain Lion to Mavericks. I recently networked to my Mac on our home wireless network an HP 8600 all in one printer/scanner and an HP LaserPro 127. I saw a note posted in a non-Apple forum stating that the Mavericks upgrade should include the drivers needed to run these products on Mavericks. Is that correct or will I need to download a new set of drivers from HP after I upgrade to Mavericks?
Any guidance would be appreciated.

HP OfficeJet 8600 All-In-One cannot be connected

I just bought a new HP OfficeJet 8600 All-in-One printer. It's a wireless unit and initally connected to my home
network no problem and I could print from several puters in the house fine. I have Bell internet with a wireless
home router that uses DHCP.
Today, my wifes win7 laptop is unable to print to it for some reason. I tried to delete the printer from her computer
and re-add it however, the computer when I run the HP installer software to reach the printer, it isn't able to connect
to it. During the installation, it say:
Discovering Device....
and never leaves there.
However, I can define the printer in Windows "Add a Printer" using the HP OfficeJet K8600 printer driver.
One thing on the IP address that the printer is using. I checked it on the printers configuration vs what the windows
printer definition had and it was wrong on the printer driver configuration. I used the HP utility to update the printer IP
address to what the printer is currently using.
Any ideas on why the printer cannot be re-added using the HP all-in-one installer?

I would bet it is your router. Its supplied by your ISP, right?
First, restart the router by pulling its power cord momentarily.
Next, set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS. This is Google DNS. You can choose another external DNS if you wish.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

Officejet Pro 8600 all in one installation on dest top with AMD64 chip set and Window 7

Can't install an HP Pro 8600 all in one with full features on a Desktop with windows 7 64 bit OS, PC has an AMD chip set, connection is wireless.
This printer is replacing an HP Pro 8500 all in one that failed. HP's only solution was to upgrade to the 8600. All 8500 software was removed before attempting to install the 8600.
The installation recognizes the printer & IP address. In the last step of the setup the network connection is not recognized. When I try to add a printer in Windows, the Microsoft drivers are installed and the printer works fine, but no scan or fax.
I had success installing this wireless setup on 2 desktops (windows 7 & XP OS) and a laptop running VISTA. All of these have Intel CPU's. The installation completed fine.
The HP Installation CD has an AMD64 folder (with "hpinkins5912"), but no instruction on setup or updating AMD drivers.

Hey @mech3320 ,
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to ask that question on the HP Forums today!
I understand that you are having some trouble with the driver download on your AMD chipset but not your Intel one.
I recommend that you try the web download of the drivers after you uninstall the ones that you tried form the CD.

Let me know if the web drivers work better for you or not.

HP Office Jet Pro 8600 all in one

I fax documents from word with my printer. Every once in a while, but more frequently as of late, the document will fax, shows send in the log, I hear the the fax completely send and hang up, but then it will fax it over and over, even though I only set it to fax one time. Only way then to stop it from sending is to turn off printer and then I either have to reboot my computer or log off to get it to clear. When computer comes back up, I turn printer back on and it is ready for use. It has done this since I bought it, but like I said seems more frequent.
It is an HP office jet pro 8600 all in one, running on Windows 8.1. It is hard wired, not running wirelesslym with desktop. Anybody have any clues as to what is causing this and how to fix it. It is so frustrating. Thanks.

Hi LFoskey,
Does the printer send multiple faxes when you fax directly from the printer, or only when you fax from Word?
You can check for a firmware update in cause the issue is being caused by the printer itself;
HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a Firmware
HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g_n Firmware (Plus and Premium models)
Please also try the HP Print and Scan Doctor, it can quickly resolve any issues including but not limited to;
Driver Check : Checks for missing or corrupt driver files.
Device Manager : Checks for problems in Device Manager that would prevent printing.
Device Online : Checks if the product has been paused or set to offline, and then sets the status back to online if necessary.
Print Queue : Checks for and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a log of print jobs waiting to print).
Port Match : Checks the port settings for the HP product.
Device Conflicts : Checks for conflicts with other drivers, such as other printer brands.
Click here to download and run the Print and Scan Doctor> www.hp.com/go/tools
Please post back and let me know if there are any symbols other than green check marks and what they are next to of course. The wrench is not always easy to spot as the wrench and the check mart are in the green circle.
If you see only green check marks ( ), the tool did not find any problems.
If you see green wrenches ( ), the utility identified an issue and corrected it automatically.
If you see yellow exclamation points ( ), the test failed and required user action, but the step was skipped.
If you see a red X ( ), follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the issue.
I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.

HP copier/printer/scanner/fax all-in-one The print screen on machine is lit but blank.

HP laserjet 8600 All-in-one. My print screen on machine is lit but blank. Unable to access prompts to operate. At times it will display home, right and left arrows and ? when touching those prompts it shifts from right to left but goes blank when touching other prompts
I am unable to print a copy because prompts don't appear on screen other than those mentioned.
I can print only from my computer

Hi there klf, welcome to the forums
I understand your display screen is blank on your printer. I would like for you to confirm which 8600 model you have and I will look into this for you.
In the meantime try a power reset:
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
Tip: Plug the printer in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
