Copy problem with HP Officejet Pro 8600-always copys on both sides of paper

When I want to make a copy of a document, i.e., insert the document on the glass surface under the printer cover, I touch the copy function on the printer and the printer always makes a copy of the document on both sides of the paper.  I do not know how to change the printer setting(s) in order to have a one sided copy feature.

Hi,
From the printer front panel click on Copy.
Click the Two Sided button and select "1 sided original - 1 sided copy".
Next click the Settings button, select Set as New Defaults and confirm, now 1 sided copy will default for any copy job.

  • Webscan problem with HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer and OS Mavericks

    I have an iMac with OS 10.9 Mavericks installed and an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus N911g printer.  I recently downloaded the "HP-Inkjet-SW-OSX-Mavericks_v12.34.37" software update from the HP website but, since installing it, the image preview feature on Webscan now only shows a black screen and I cannot download the scanned image.  I have uninstalled the update and reinstalled the old software  - "Officejet-Pro-8600_v12.23.0" but the problem persists.
    I am not sure if this is an HP problem or a Mavericks bug.  Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated

    The servicing when the printer is turned on is normal and is required to keep the printheads healthy (not clogged). See here for information.
    As for power savings, the printer will automatically go into a low power mode when not printing for some time.  It is not necessary to turn the product off and on to save power.

  • Installation problem with HP Officejet Pro Plus 8600 with Windows 8.1

    My system recently updated to Windows 8.1 and my HP Officejet Pro Plus 8600 will no longer function with my computers (Dell desktop, Hp laptop). It shows up in control panel, but says the driver is unavailable. I have tried to download the compatible updated driver from the HP site numerous times, but the install always fails. The error message says "failed to add port monitor HP Discovery Port Monitor (HP Officejet Pro 8600). The machines were running Windows 8 before the update and the printer/scanner/copy/fax functions worked fine with the computers. The printer is still recognized in my wireless network and prints from my phone and iPad. I've used the HP uninstall wizard, but there is no program listed for HP 8600 to uninstall. Help!

    Hello @yrtxtm ,
    Thank you for joining us on the HP Forums today, hope you enjoy your time with us!
    I understand you are having some issues installing the Officejet 8600 on your windows operating system.

  • Scan issues with HP Officejet Pro 8600 that worked fine!Now, I have a problem----is it Dropbox?

    Never had a problem, but now when I scan, and it goes straight to My Documents,  when I go to open it, it's been replaced by an old picture.  Every one of my darn documents has that old picture and I can 't find any of my documents.  Please help. I do not have it hardwired in.  I have reset the printer and my laptop, but this started a few months ago and I think it has to do with Drop box.  I don't know what else to do.

  • Printing Envelopes Issue with HP Officejet Pro 8600

    I have recently purchased the HP Officejet Pro 8600.  I am upgrading from the Photosmart series.  I use Windows 7 64bit operating system.  I have no error messages
    When I print a #10 envelope, the return address in the top left is partially cut off.  I can't seem to adjust the margins to allow for the return address to print.
    Additionally I would like to "save" some custom envelope sizes to accommodate my personal greeting card envelopes.  My other printer allowed for more paper sizes than this one does.
    Can anyone offer any suggestions with either of these issues?
    Darrell

    Hi there dlfant,
    Check out the post here from Travis_C. He has some steps for installing other printer drivers that should give the functionality you are looking for and hopefully address the envelope issue you are experiencing. Give his steps a shot and let us know if it works out for you.
    Best of Luck!

  • Printing duplex with HP Officejet Pro 8600 causes windows 7 OS to shut down/restart

    Why when printing duplex with my HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer it causes windows 7( 64-bit) to shut down/restart. Windows message is "Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown.  I've ran HP Hardward Diag. Utility and Print and Scan Doctor which indicated everything is working properly with the printer.  Ocassionaly I can print duplex without windows shutting down and restarting, but most of the time it creates issue with Windows causing it to stop and restart.  Single sided printing seems to be fine.  I've already oncehad windows to "Startup Repair" in which ccase I selected restore to a previous working point.  Everything worked for awhile then a duplex printing session starting causing windows to shut down again.   THanks for your assistance.

    Yes, the updated USB 3.0 driver corrects the issue and should be installed.

  • What other hp print drivers will work with the officejet pro 8600

    I have an Officejet Pro 8600 and like many others here, I am having a problem printing a custom size envelope (6x9). I did find that I can use the drivers for a deskjet 450 and setup  my 8600 using those drivers. However, the 450 6x9 does not have a portait option in the layout.
    My question is, what other hp print drivers will work in the 8600? I'm hoping one will have a 6x9 portrait layout?

    Hello wingcheck,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're receiving a problem printing a custom envelope size (6x9). You did state that you installed a Deskjet 450, but it doesn't come with a portrait option. I will do my best to assist you!
    First,  I need to find out your operating system on your computer? Windows or Mac?
    If you have a Windows computer and using this Deskjet 450 driver, have you checked Devices and Printers on your computer to see if you have this portrait option:
    1) Right click on the Deskjet 450, then click on Printer Preferences
    2) Very top you should see a tab called "Finishing" and look for Orientation
    3) You should see portrait, landscape, rotate by 180 degrees or mirror image.
    4) Let me know if you don't have this option on this post
    If not, then I would recommend installing a Deskjet 9800 to see if you have this option. Please follow this HP document on Installing an Alternate Print Driver in Windows 7 for a USB Cable Connection. When setting up this custom size, change the paper type to "Other Specialty Media". Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!
    Hi Cheetah .... I don't have access to my printer at the moment due to travel, but here's what I have right now. My operating system is Windows 7 64. That's not much, but it is a start. I will have the additional information for you in a day or so. Something else I discovered in the user guide, which I didn't know, is that each tray will only handle specific media. So, when I print envelopes, I will have to use Tray 1 in order to do so. 
    Now I do have another question for you. Can I have installed, 2 different sets of print drivers at the same time without it causing a conflict? I'm assuming the diffenent driver will simply show up as a different printer in the listed printers, right?? Any way, thanks for your quick response, and upon arriving home, I will follow your previous suggestions. I will also keep you posted as to my success or failure.
    Thanks

  • How to print on envelopes C6/C5 with HP OfficeJet Pro 8600

    With my printer HP Officejet Pro 8600 I want to print on envelopes C6/C5 (229 mm x 114mm or 9.0 inches x 4.5 inches).
    The Officejet Pro 8600 support C5-envelopes and C6-envelopes but I could not find a comparable format C6/C5. Is it possible to make your own envelopes format and print on HP Officejet Pro 8600?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Grepolis,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you would like to be able to print on  C6/C5 envelopes.
    I will be happy to help you.
    You could install the Deskjet 9800 as a generic driver which you would have different features available to you.
    Making custom size prints.
    Depending what operating system you are using. Here are the steps for Windows 7.
    On the computer, go to start, devices and printers, select add printer.
    Follow the steps, select HP and Deskjet 9800 from the list.
    Set this one as the default printer.
    Try creating a custom size envelope now with the generic driver.
    Please let me know if you are not using Windows 7 and you need different steps.

  • Is Windows Server 2012 compatible with HP Officejet pro 8600 plus printers

    Hello, 
    I am wondering whether HP officejet pro 8600 plus printers compatible with Windows server 2012 - I have the driver installed on the server and deployed - installation of the driver and all was successful but it won't print from the server or on a user's computer from the deployed printers list. No error message comes up, I just click print and nothing happens. If I install it individually on the user computers - it seems to print as a 'network printer' but won't print from the server, and if it can not print from the server then it can not print from the deployed printers list. I was looking up on driver compatibility list online earlier and could not find Windows Server 2012 mentioned on the list - only server 2008 and below. 
    Essentially what I am trying to find out is whether this officejet pro 8600 plus printer is compatible with our server. 
    Many thanks, 
    Michael Peters

  • Win 7 Wireless connection problem to a Officejet Pro 8600 N911a

    I have a Win7 64 bit pc that was connected wirelessly to my officejet pro 8600.  Recently I lost connection to the printer with the Win7.  I can print from my smartphone but not the Win7 PC.  I uninstalled all the printer software Then I downloaded and reinstalled the drivers and tried to connect wirelessly it found the printer but it won't install the driver software. It found the IP address but had :3216/ at the end of the IP address? I can print when I connect using a USB setup.  A message also stated that the PC and printer are not on the same router.  However they are signed in to the same router name and password.

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @Tombi 
    I read your post about how your Officejet 8600 is not communicating over your network to your Windows 7 computer. I'd suggest checking the guide below and following the steps. If the printer happens to be on another network, these steps will sort it all out and you should be connected by the end!

  • Printing files stored on a NAS with an Officejet Pro 8600

    Sorry if this has been asked before but if it has I can't find it
    Is there an app which will allow me to print some commonly used forms which I have stored on my NAS? (A bit like the Google docs eStorage app but direct from my NAS )
    Thanks

    Hello eimajgraham,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    Regarding printing from "NAS" to the Officejet Pro 8600 via an App, it would depend on the file format and if the "NAS" supports printing via an App.
    What is the type device the App would be installed on, Apple, Android, etc? You could try using the HP ePrint App.

  • HP officejet 4630 won't print on both sides of paper

    Cannot print on both sides of paper. The backsideprints first, then wait for ink to dry, front side starts to print then stops with a windows error message popping up on screen saying cannot print document.
    I have found that I cannot print multiple pages either. For example, I decided to print the 4 page document as single pages only (since double sided wouldn't work) and the results were first page prints second page prints about a third and then all stop with error message that printer cannot print the pdf document. so I had to select each page seperately to finnally get all four pages printed. HP print and scan diagnostics says theres is no problem. Windows diagnostics says there is no problem.
    Obviously there is a problem can any one offer advice and solution?
    Thanks

  • Problems with hp officejet pro 8610 printing labels

    I have a new HP offficejet Pro 8610 less than 6 months old. I was printing address lables (Avery 8160) and everything seemed fine after the first group then when I started the second set they were out of alignment I readjusted the paper and tried again to print and I get a message that there is a problem with printer or the the paper is not the wrong size for the job and its the same paper so thats not it I tried shutting everything down and starting over and it allowed me to print one and it was perfect but when I tried to print another it went back to same message wrong paper size I am still using same size paper I am using Avery 8160 labels and that is the size on the avery website I am printing from. Any help is much appreciated thank you.

    Hello ,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I would have to agree that the issue is within Microsoft Windows 7 regarding the printing issue with the Officejet L7780. Since the printer will print fine when using Ubuntu, it would appear there is an issue with the drivers and or software on Windows 7.
    Have you tried using the Print and Scan Dr? This will look into the drivers, software, etc on the computer and attempt to resolve on its own. Let me know what the results are when you run it.
    You could try the steps in this HP guide: Installing an Alternate Print Driver in Windows 7 for a USB Cable Connection. The L7780 does not display in the document but it will work with the Deskjet 9800 driver.
    I hope this helps,

  • Problem with HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer: Ink is vanished without any prints due to cleanups.

    Hello everybody,
                                    The printer HP Officejet Pro all-in-one 8500A A910 cleans printheads every time I turn it on. printer was updated with the lastet driver but my yellow,cyan,magenta inks gets vansihed without taking any colour prints.I take only BLACK prints(less than 500) and do scans.
    This is worse printer i have ever used. It is using inks while clean up at startup or in between.Frustating thing is that It is using ink even during SCANS. Now, i really doubt the intellegence of designers of hp to such a big BUG.
    Please update the driver so that during startup it will ask for SCAN or Print OR Clean the printheads when first print is given and addition to optimise the cleanups.
    Hoping to get some solution form HP.

    Hi arr_8500,
    I understand you have an Officejet 8500 A910 that is running the clean printhead function each time you turn it on. I will do my best to assist you with this.
    The reason the printer keeps running the clean printhead function is self maintenance. The printer is detecting an issue, so it will continue to run the clean printhead function until it's not detecting an issue. I would suggest you follow through this Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality Problems to help clean out any ink build up and things like that. I'd also recommend that you manually clean your printheads to remove any build up there as well. 
    Finally, it's best to have your printer plugged directly to a wall outlet. If it's not already in one, please move it.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!!
