Cant set up my HP office jet 8600 printer with my iPad mini

Can't set my HP office jet 8600 printer with my iPad mini

That is not an AirPrint supported printer. Check for compatibility here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
Check the App Store for an HP app that may provide limited printing functionality. Alternatively, you can use your computer as a wireless print server using an app like Printopia. Note that your computer must be on and able to print for this solution to work.

Office jet 8600 won't scan more than one page

My Office jet 8600 will only scan one page at a time. It doesn't matter if I use the document feeder or put the document on the glass. When the scanner asks if I have another page I select yes and then I receive a message telling me the scanner is already in use and can't scan another page. I have talked to HP tech support twice and downloaded new drivers. The scanner worked perfectly until the last few days when it started having this problem. HP tech support was not able to help.

Hi @LonghornJack
I am really not certain what would cause the message stating that the printer is in use when you try to scan a second page, but running the Print and Scan Doctor might help. The HP Print and Scan Doctor is a free utility (tool) that helps to quickly resolve common printing, scanning and connectivity issues including but not limited to:
Connectivity:
USB: Verifies that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product is working correctly.
Network: Verifies that the network connection between your computer and your network is working correctly.
Device Status Test: Checks for device errors such as out of paper, paper jams, carriage stalls, and paper feed issues, and then provides instructions for fixing the error.
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.
Ink Issues: Checks the cartridges and ink levels for issues that affect print quality.
Print Settings: Checks and adjusts the print quality settings.
Test Print: Prints a test page for print quality evaluation, and provides options for cleaning and aligning the printhead if necessary.
Scan Tests: Checks the scan mechanism, drivers, and registry entries.

If this does not resolve the issue, 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 back from you.

My HP office jet 6500 printer is stuck on pause. I do not have an admin name or password as it is a wireless printer and I never had to set one up. It keeps asking me for admin name and password...

My HP office jet 6500 printer is stuck on pause. I do not have an admin name or password that it keeps prompting me to give, as it is a wireless printer and that info was not required when we set up the printer. I have checked all diagnostics and connections and they are all good/passed. I am so frustrated!!! This has never happened in the past.

What is asking you for an admin name and password? What does the dialog say, exactly?
What model iMac are you using, and which OS version?
If it is earlier than Lion or Snow Leopard, try deleting the printer and adding it again as explained in this document
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3140
Otherwise you can "reset the printing system" as explained here

Two Sided Printing with HP Office Jet 8600

I have installed an HP Office Jet 8600 N911A The two sided printing feature is not functioning. HP's website offered instructions on the OX 10.6 system, but not 10.7.3

Hello,
You should be able to print on two sides using this method for your product:
NOTE:You can print your document on both sides of the paper, instead of just one side. Click on the Advanced button on the Paper/Quality or Layout tab. From the Pages to Print drop-down menu select Print Odd Pages Only . Click OK to print. After the odd numbered pages of the document have been printed, remove the document from the output tray. Reload the paper in the input tray with the blank side facing up. Return to the Pages to Print drop-down menu and then select Print Even Pages Only . Click OK to print.

How do I set up a 4620 office jet on an airport network with only an iPad?

I only have an iPad and set up airport network no problem, but HP office jet 4620 printer won't connect without wps or computer. Any ideas?

Hi Neil1950,
You will be doing this wirelessly without the need for a cable. From the iPad Settings icon, click on Wi-Fi>Network>Select the printer's network to connect using the same steps listed above.
After your iPad is connected,
1. Open Safari in the iPad and enter 192.168.223.1in the addressbar and press enter.
2. Navigate to the WIreless Setup Wizard to setup your printer on your network.
3. Follow the steps to join your printer on the network.

Error code 242 on Office jet 8600

Office Jet 8600 quite accepting fax's. Error code 242, but fax test show all connections are good.

Hi @Skylek
According to the following document, error 242 means the remote fax machine is attempting to receive instead of send. Both machines have attempted to start a reception at the same time. On many fax machines, it is possible to accidentally initiate a fax reception in the following cases:
There is no paper in the machine.
The paper is not correctly loaded and the document sensor cannot sense it.
Interpreting Error Codes in Fax Communication Error or Fax History Reports
Recommended Solution:
Contact the sender to make sure that a document is ready and correctly loaded in the sending fax machine. Also make sure that the remote machine is attempting to initiate a transmission and not a reception.
I hope this helps.

Why won't ipad print to HP office jet 8600 all in one printer model n911a ?

Why won't ipad print to HP Office Jet 8600 model n911a? My I Phone 4S will print to printer but Ipad won't.

Hi,
The HP Officejet 8600 is an AirPrint enabled printer, there is no such 8600A model as listed above.
Try updating the printer firmware and check for any change:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02919168&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &product=4323659&tmp_track_link=ot_search
If the same persists it might happen due to lack of Bonjour compatibility or wrong configuration of your router.
Try bypassing the router using the HP Wireless Direct option:
Click the Network / Wireless Icon on the printer front panel and then tap on Settings.
Click on Wireless Direct and select On (No Security).
From your iPad go to Settings > Wi-Fi and connect to the printer's network, it should include either 8600 or n911.
Try printing and check for any change, if that works be sure to clarify your router brand and model to better understand if it support Bonjour and how that kind of support can be enable.

Please read this post then provide some details. What operating system? How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, or Wireless LAN?

what settings do i put my printer on to print 5.5*8.5 invitations on a 6500 office jet hp printer

dawie,
Here is a link to a post that has some good information on mirror image printing and what has worked for some other people. You should be able to go to Control Panel>Printers>right click on printer>Properties>under General tab click Printing Preferences>under Advanced Tab click Mirror Image ON. However, like i said others have had some issues with this. Hopefully you will find the link below helpful.

My new ipad3 will not communicate and run my HP office jet 8500g printer wirelessly. My daughter's Mac will wirelessly so my iPad 3 should right?

OK, bought my 1st Apple anything last week.....(iPad 3)!! Tried to send a "OnSong" doc to my wireless HP Office Jet Pro 8500g today and iPad 3 can,t find the printer. My daughter used her Mac wireless and sent a "Pages" doc wirelessly with no problem. Apple support confirms that they are compatible but want to charge me $99 for a 1 year subscription right out of the gate. I don't know if the issue is iPad 3 or HP printer? Seems like my iPad is the issue since Mac has no problem? Any ideas on what the problem is?

The simple answer is your printer is not Airprint Enabled, thus you can not print to it natively on your iPad. There are options.
1. Purchase a new Airprint enable printer
2. Purchase an App from the App Store for about $9 that will permit printing. Print Central and Printopia are two you could consider.

Can you use 2 sets of bluetooth headphones at the same time with the Ipad 4?

It is so my children can watch a film or listen to music together.

HT201178 hhow to set keyboard repeat rate to never on bluetooth keyboard and ipad mini

How can one set up an aluminum apple bluetooth keyboard with an ipad mini and adjust the key repeat rate to never?

public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
     if (e.getKeyCode() == 87)
          { //up
          sendToServer("m u");
          walkingDirection = 1;
          if (e.getKeyCode() == 83)
          { //down
          sendToServer("m d");
          walkingDirection = 5;
     if (e.getKeyCode() == 65)
          { //left
          sendToServer("m l");
          walkingDirection = 7;
          if (e.getKeyCode() == 68)
          { //right
          sendToServer("m r");
          walkingDirection = 3;
Problem is, I AM using the keypressed function, it still falls bck to the windows repeat rate for some reason.

HP office jet 8600, wireless not working, IP address not being recognized

Purchased new HP office jet pro 8600 N911a. Inserted CD software on relatively new Toshiba laptop using Windows 7, but problem is that printer IP address is not being recognized. Wireless router is Apple airport extreme. Have checked various potential solutions, including the following: deleting software and re-inserting CD, turning off router, computer, printer and resetting, running a wirless network test (no problems found, wireless on and working and connected), ensuring that laptop and printer are on the same wirless network (yes), ensuring that printer IP address is entered correctly, and ensuring that firewall issues are not a problem. Airport extreme settings show this printer's MAC address as a "wireless client" and its IP address as a "DHCP client"; however, when clicking on the "printers" heading in Airport extreme printers, no printers are listed (this is the pane that shows the USB printers connected to your Airport wirless device). Any suggestions would be appreciated

Hi,
Why don't you connect the printer wirelessly to your Airport Extreme?
You may do so by clicking the Wireless icon on the printer screen, click Settings and follow the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect the device, then it should recieve its own IP by using the printer capabilities..
If you prefer to use such a Print Server configuration, you may try using a different USB and check if that may help, otherwise I would suggest you to contact Apple as they know their accessories the best..
