Cannot use BOTH HP 8600 wireless printer pro in office and home

I bought the same unit so I could interchange cartridges and parts as well as the ease of software, the home printer works fine wireless, but does not work at the office. The only way that it can be used is to plug in the ethernet cable and that defeats the reason that I bought it. Many are plugged in since this has an office with Mac and such that all feed into.

Hi UCRToledo,
Welcome to the HP support forums. I understand that the Officejet Pro 8600 you have in your office will not maintain a wireless connection.
I have included a trouble shooting document for when the printer doesn't maintain a wireless connection. It has a section dedicated to many common causes of why the printer would be unable to maintain a wireless connection. I have also included a link to your user guide. There is a section dedicated to wireless problems starting on page 138.

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus prints part of page and quits

My brahd-new Officejet Pro 8600 Plus prints part of page and quits. The manual said to clean the print heads and align the printer. I did both of those. It made the problem worse. I'm printing on photo paper - HP Premium Plus. It happens about 1/2 the time.

Hi beantowner2,
I would like to begin with a few questions,
Does this happen when you copy a photo, or only when you print form the computer?
Do you have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or a surge protector?
What operating system and version is on the computer?
Is the printer connected to the computer with a USB cable or wirelessly?
If you have a WIndows operating system please download and install the latest firmware version for the printer. HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g_n Firmware.
If you are using a surge protector, I suggest disconnecting and connecting the power directly to a wall outlet.

I am having problems interacting with Microsoft Office programs since the last update:cannot create a pdf through the 'print' menu in exel and both Word and Exel docs sent in Mac Mail end up being received as .dat files.

Both these situations have cropped up on my MacBook Pro since the last update.
Thanks for your help.

The 'Winmail.dat' problem has been extensively covered in these forums, I would search for that (a Google search works well) and unfortunately I have not seen the pdf print problem before, but assuming the software is current and functions normally (other than the pdf print problem) I have no suggestion other than the obvious (but time consuming) re-installation of Office.
I wish I had more

There is no download; you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

Wireless printing with my iMac and iPad...

I have a lexmark X4530 printer that I would like to set up for wireless printing from my iMac and iPad (mostly the iPad). I don't have the disk that came with my printer. I currently have the printer wired to my iMac and it is working fine. I tried to print from my iPad, it found the printer but says there is a connection error. I'm not sure what order to connect all this in. Do I set up printer wirelessly to my iMac first or can I just leave printer plugged into iMac and print from iPad wirelessly? Also I tried to use the wireless setup assistant that installed on the iMac when I first plugged in the printer, but it tells me (after entering in all necessary information) that there is a connection error. Please help!!

HT1202 I am disappointed I cannot sync my office and home computers music using my 64gig ipad 3.

I am disappointed I cannot sync my office and home computers music using my 64gig ipad 3.
Any suggestions? I have seen some 3rd party apps $$.
I have an office mac and a home PC. I continue to be disappointed by what my ipad cannot do, as intuitive to use as apple products are supposed to be.
Now that I have shoved all my CDs into Itunes at work, you think I would not have to do it again at home when I have the library on my ipad.

iDevices are now and always have been uni-directional for syncing. You sync from the computer to the iDevice. You cannot sync from the iDevice to the computer except if you have downloaded something directly from Apple to your iDevice. Then iTunes will allow you to sync these new acquisitions because they are not in your iTunes Library.
To do any differently requires a third-party utility such as Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac.

I bought an iphone 6plus at $849 and it works well in China with a Chinese SIM. While the device went wrong, and I got a replacement in US Apple store. However, any Chinese cannot use in the replacement. I contact apple support, and they asked me to contact you to unlock the device. I want to know if you can help me with the issue.

The Verizon iPhone 6 comes unlocked, Verizon would not be able to help with a Chinese sim.

I just updated Safari with version 5.1.10 and now I cannot use "open location". Anyone else having this problem and are there any solutions?

Ok ...
Try troubleshooting extensions and third party plugins.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

I just bought a new ipad 2, but cannot use it as it only shows the itunes logo and a cable. This means it's telling me to connect to itunes. I've done this and performed sync, still no way out. I have been told by friends to "unlock" it. Please how?

Have you already activated the iPad? That is what the screen is telling you to do - connect to the computer with the supplied cable and run iTunes while connected - and iTunes should guide you through the set up process. If you have already set up the iPad and you are still getting thos screen message - restore your iPad. You must be running iTunes 10.5 on your computer as well.
Restore iPad
If you can't restore this way, you will need recovery mode.

There are a number of Apple services: iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Game center, Find My iPad, etc.
Now, to share apps, music and books you need to have the same Apple ID:
iPad's Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Your purchasing Apple ID.
For the other service, your wife should have her own Apple ID.
All she needs is a valid e-mail address, apply Apple ID below:

Windows 8.1 incompatability with Officejet Pro 8600 wireless printer

HP pavillion g-7 laptop running Windows 8.1. Trying to wirelessly print to HP Officejet Pro 8600. Spent and hour and a half with Al uninstalling, reinstalling updated driver (3/9/14). Also ran scan doctor from HP. Multiple resets, restarts and yada.......At the end he thanked me for my time and told me to complain to Microsoft because 8.1 would not communicate with the printer properly. Does anyone know of a fix for this? Thanks in advance.

Hello sanpanchobob,
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.
I saw your post about the issues you are having with your Officejet 8600 and Windows 8.1. Although I noticed you have done the majority of troubleshooting, I would like to recommend a Level 3 or Level 4 uninstall and then an install. See below for the details.
The OJ 8600 is compatible with Windows 8.1: Windows Compatibility Center
1. Type %temp% in the run field and click OK.
2. Look for, and open the folder starting with 7z (Example: 7zS2356) (if there is more than one 7z folder, try the most recent one)
3. Open folder Util
4. Open folder CCC
5. Run the uninstall_ L4.bat for a non-HP PC or run the Uninstall_L3.bat for a HP PC (important)
6. When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
7. Install the printer: HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows
I hope this helps!

How do you wake up a sleeping HP Officejet Pro 8600 wireless printer?

The printer appears to be in sleep mode, with the power button alternating between dim and bright. Printer does not function and pressing the power button does nothing. The only remedy I have found is to unplug the power cord and restart the printer. Is it broken or is there a trick to waking this thing up?

on your printer's settings, please make sure that Schedule setting is set to OFF. If it is, your printer should wake up as soon as you touch the screen or the arrow touch buttons.

Using Mac & PC for wireless printing?

Many questions to this answer for printing wireless.
1) can my Quicksilver 2002 use a Airport Extreme card? If not what is my other option since I can't find a normal Airport card?
2) I want to get the AirPort Express to print wireless, will I need the AirPort Base Station to do that?
3) I would also like to print with with PC Laptop that has a Intel(R) Pro/wireless 29151A BG Network Connection and the value is set at 802.11b/g
will that work with the AirPort Express or no?
Thank you

Many questions to this answer for printing wireless.
1) can my Quicksilver 2002 use a Airport Extreme
card? If not what is my other option since I can't
find a normal Airport card?
No, the QS2002 uses the original AirPort card. Look at the Linksys WET54G as a good solution, or you may also choose a PCI card, like the Sonnett Aria.
2) I want to get the AirPort Express to print
wireless, will I need the AirPort Base Station to do
that?
The AirPort Express is a base station. Your set-up of the AX will depend on your current networking equipment.
3) I would also like to print with with PC Laptop
that has a Intel(R) Pro/wireless 29151A BG Network
Connection and the value is set at 802.11b/g
will that work with the AirPort Express or no?
It will.
Thank you
You're welcome.
