Does the Officejet 8600 Pro Premium N911n printer perform auto tray selection?

I have an Officejet 8600 Pro Pemium N911n printer, CN577A with two trays. My Operating Sysem is Win8,64bit,there are no error messages, no system changes.
The HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in One series User Guide states that By default, the printer draws media from Tray1.If Tray1 is empty, the printer draws media from Tray2(if it is installed and loaded with media. I have Tray lock disabled ,Tay1 the default Tray and Automatic Tray Selection enabled.Prior to making these selections,I contacted HP support via email to report that this option was not working. I received a response that there is no method that will automatically select a tray when one tray is empty. The User 's manual states otherwise..This option might not work but it is part of this series of printers. I have both trays loaded and I will determine if it works after Tray1 is empty. Does anyone have one of these printers and the auto Tray function works? Thanks.

OfficeJet 8600 Pro Premium scan does not work since upgrading Mac to 10.10.1 (Yosemite)

Since updating my MacBook Pro to Yosemite, I cannot get the scan to computer function to work. I have downloaded the softwear again & reinstalled; reset the printer, repaired disk permissions, etc. to no avail. Also i note that the HP utility icon no longer appears. Printing and copying work fine. Any suggestions?

HI Gregg,
Thanks for posting your issue on forum,
Could you let us know how is the printer connected to the Mac. Also would like to know if you are using Scan to computer or Scan to network folder.
did you try uninstalling and reinstalling the printer after upgrade.
When you upgraded you Mac to Yosemite did you use the Migration Assistance to move all the applications, files to the newer OS.
check if you have the HP Scan application installed if yes let us know the version of it.
Try the below steps:
Go to Finder>>Applications>>Hewlett Packard folder and run the HP Uninstaller.
go to System Preferences>>Printers and Scanners>> right click on the printer icon or the white space on the left side of the windows and click on Reset Printing System( Note: This will delete all the printers listed under printers and scanners)
Restart your Mac,
go to Apple Menu>>System Preferences>>Sharing and make sure computer name is present.
Download the latest driver from web, make sure you select the correct product and install the same.
When adding the printer make sure you select HP Printer driver instead of AirPrint.
Perform Apple Software Update and make sure its uptodate.
also you can install the HP Printer Driver Version3.0
Now see if you can find HP Utility and then enable Scan to Computer.
Let us know if this helps.
Thanks.

All settings seem fine but Officejet 8600 pro won't print over wifi

Hi
This is my second post concerning this problem. I thought I'd solved it but apparently not.
The printer shows that it is connected to the network (fixed ip address) and stays connected
I can access the printer's homepage and settings from my browser.
I've checked all router settings as per HPs wireless printing website (MAC filtering off/802.11g/2.4Ghz, channel 6) and they are good
I'm using WPA/WPA2 with AES encryption
All looks fine except when I go to print something I'm told "printer not connected" in the print dialogue. Occasionally if I run the Wireless printer setup wizard from the Printer's homepage it will print but then seems to lose the seetings after a while.
Have tried restarting all devices to no avail.
The only thing I can't explain is that when I look at my router's connected devices the printer (and its IP address) is not there, even though I can communicate with it through my computer and its showing as connected on the display.
Someone please help, this is driving me mad. It should be SO simple but it just isn't.

Officejet 8600 Pro Premium package contents question

Hi again,
Looking ath the 8600 Premium, saw a CNET review where the guy said that the printer is supposed to come with 2 sets of in cartriges and a pack of paper, is that true? Cant seem to find much info on it.
Thanks!

The document here shows a single set of starter cartridges in the section on the right called "What's in the box". There may be special offers in various regions, currently in the US there is a $100 off offer through August 14.

How to cancel a print job on the hp officejet 8600 pro running xp

How do cancel a print or copy job on the Officejet 8600 Pro Premium? There is no "cancel" button on the control panel. Do I have to go through the software? Time consuming -
Thanks!

scarlattid3,
The cancel button should be located in the bottom right corner of the screen. The only thing is it's not going to show up until you start the print job or copy and then it should appear for you.
Let us know if you are able to find this.

Looking for OfficeJet 8600 pro plus replacement paper trays

Where can I purchase replacement paper trays for the OfficeJet 8600 Pro Plus printer?
I am NOT looking for the add-on paper tray unit, but a replacement for the primary tray. We shuffle various types of paper and envelopes in and out of the tray throughout the day, and we would instead like to keep several extra trays loaded with specialty paper to reduce wear on the primary tray.
Suggestiosn?
Thanks!

I searched in the online stores available by HP and was unable to find this part. However, I was able to find that the part is available through HP Tech Support by calling in.
Click here to access the full list of HP Tech Support contact numbers.
The part number is CM749-60036 for the main tray assembly for the Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. This part is, currently, around $25 usd, but prices are subject to change.
Hope this helps.

Officejet 8600 pro plus time zone issue

has anyone successfully set the time zone on the Officejet 8600 pro plus? There's a webpage for the device to setup the local date & time - it has a nebulous button to 'set the time zone to the same as you computer' or something like that.. I can't get it to work under Win7 IE or firefox - the printer seems to always be stuck in UTC. That means I have to set the printers local time to UTC to make the timestamps of email scans appear correct. Any ideas? It seems like older officejets had an option to explicitly set the time zone from the device's webpage but that's gone. BTW.. I've upgraded to the latest firmware (v CLP1CN1150CR - 15-feb-2012), but the problem persists.

You should be able to do that via the LCD panel from the printer.

Setup is in second page after the home screen.

HP Officejet 8600 Pro - how to change scan resolution presets at the printer

I have an HP Officejet 8600 Pro and wish to scan to email from the printer and wish to change the default resolution setting. I would like to change the default scan resolution so I dont have to remember to change it every time I scan.
If I change it with the HP Windows Printer Assistant software it only seems to change the resolution for this time and only from the computer not at the printer.
Is it possible to change the scan resolution settings at the printer? I cant find detail in the manual or on the printer console.

bvlusa,
Open the Icon labeled Officjet Pro 8600 on your desktop, and then click on Scan a Document or Photo. When the Scan application window opens you can change the Resolution from the drop down menu.
I hope this helps.

Unable to Wireless Print to OfficeJet 8600 Pro with Mac OSX 10.5.8

I am running MacBook Pro with OSX 10.5.8 and I am unable to print wirelessly to my new OfficeJet 8600 Pro.
I can setup the printer just fine, but when I send a job to print, it just sits in the queu and does nothing after "processing" the pages, etc.
I've tried a few different setup installers, including this one.
It's a slightly older mac (2.3 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) running OSX 10.5.8.
Any advice?
Thanks

Hello dpipitone,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand you are having some problems printing and scanning wirelessly on your HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 with your Mac running 10.5.8. When you installed the software and drivers for your 8600, did it tell you it was successful and print a test page? Also can you let me know the Exact model of 8600 you are using?
I would like you to follow the troubleshooting steps listed here: Print Jobs are Stuck in the Print Queue, once on this page please select your Mac OS X, and continue from there.
Let me know if this was successful, I will watch for your reply.
Thank you,

Does the OffficeJet 8500 pro support auto duplex printing on card with weight 256gsm or higher?

I'm looking for a printer with comparable print costs to the officejet 8500 pro but which will allow me to auto duplex print onto card so I can create colour postcards.
Will the 8500 pro handle this reliably, or is there a better choice?
Thanks

Officejet 8600 Pro+ Power-switch lamp cycling bright then dim

My Officejet 8600 Pro+ printer is brand new, and is connected via my wired network. It's working perfectly so far. Wi-Fi and fax are both (deliberately) turned off / disabled & not needed.
The Power-switch has a nice green light to indicate that the printer has "power" OK - and the lamp seems to have two "on" states, namely 'dim', and 'bright'.
The printer seems to go into "Sleep Mode" OK, and the control panel turns off as expected after my preset "Sleep" interval. (I'm not using the scheduling options.) It also wakes-up OK when I send it a print job. Again, everything is fine so far ...
While the printer is in this low-power 'ECO' state, the intensity of the green Power-switch lamp varies slowly between bright and dim, on a roughly 6-second cycle - 3 seconds at 'bright', then 3 seconds at 'dim', and it never stops cycling - bright then dim then bright etc..
BUT ... and here's my question ... should this lamp be staying 'dim' while the printer is asleep?
Or, does the fact that it is returning to 'bright' every few seconds imply that it is somehow failing to STAY fully 'asleep'?
I can't find any clues about this in the printer's manual.
Perhaps I should raise a query with the HP Support folks, but I thought I'd ask here first.
Thanks in anticipation. Edited to add:
I'd be glad to know whether any other Officejet 8600 owner (or the owner of any other Officejet model) sees this same bright/dim behaviour on their Power-switch lamp? Thanks.

Thanks pcwizard, I got the same reply yesterday from my HP Customer Care enquiry, and I'm satisfied now that my machine isn't cycling repeatedly into sleep mode and then 3 seconds later coming half "out" of sleep mode! I know the HP design folks may never look at these Forum entries, but I'd hint to them that perhaps this ambiguous "sleep" indication might be made an optional choice, so that I could choose a steady low-intensity light instead. It's not an enormous issue of course, but in my little "office" space, this Power button is right in my line-of-sight as I work, and - even though I now know that my printer is perfectly healthy - the slowly-pulsing light had become a recurring distraction until I covered it with a little 'disc' of semi-opaque sticky tape Thanks again.Colin
