Maverick incompatible with Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

Maverick update for OSX 10.9 is incompatible with Officejet Pro 8600 Plus.
1. PDF files from webpages are black and don't show info when I try to print from any browser. Must take snapshots from webpage and print from that
2.Printer info shows that it is still printing when it is completed and will not advance to the next job
Please help! I see that there are no HP software updates to fix this and am confused why you haven't made your printer software compatible with a huge Mac update.
This question was solved.

Hi podisc,
Thank you for the quick response. It's good to hear you can print, that is at least a start.
I know that you haven't received the error messages that the document lists but the behavior you are describing leads me to believe that software didn't completely uninstall or completely install with the Mavericks driver.
Please follow the steps listed in the document below and let me know how it goes.

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!

Can you print from the ADF with Officejet Pro 8600 (not plus) & how to print checks in correct order

Client has Officejet Pro 8600 I(not plus) They want to print payroll checks out of QuickBooks but when they put the checks in tray 1, it pulls the check that is on the top, which happens to be the last check # in the stack. Is there a way to print where the printer pulls from the bottom of the check stack as opposed to the top. I've looked and can't seem to find the answer. QuickBooks says we should check with HP and change something in the print drivers?
So I thought it would fix it if they printed the checks from the ADF where I thought I could control if it pulls from the front or back of the stack. When we tried to print from the ADF, it pulled from Tray 1 and we weren't given the option to print from the ADF. (only Tray 1 & 2...which they don't have the 2nd tray anyway) So does this model, not being the PLUS model, not allow you to print from the ADF. (only scan, copy and fax from the adf?)
If we can't use the ADF for check printing, then how can we get the checks to print in the correct order. Meaning, the 1st check # to print should be on the check that is on the bottom of that check stack in Tray 1. Otherwise they have to count out the exact number of checks & place them in the tray. Or reverse all of them which is not an efficient either! I hope this makes sense.

Hi @kceacct ,
I see that you would like to know how to print out the checks in order. I will do my best to help you.
The ADF can be used for copying, scanning and faxing.
From the print driver you can only select the tray that you want to print from.
Changing Print Settings in Windows 8.
You would have to load the checks in order from top to bottom in the paper tray, since the printer just pulls the paper in from the top of the stack of paper.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Poor image quality when scanning coins with officejet pro 8600 plus

I recently upgraded my printer from an HP 2210 to and HP officejet pro 8600 plus. image quality on coin scans is terrible.
I have tried scanning both with the HP software and with windows 7 fax and scan software
I have saved images as BMP, JPG, PNG, and TIFF
I have used resolutions from 300 dpi to 1200 DPI
All give me similar unacceptable results.
Images are better when scanned flat on the scanner than when in slabbed holders, and from this I am guessing that the plastic is somehow interfering wiht the scan. Either that, or there is a very shallow depth of field so that even moving the coin a few mm away from the glass moves it out of focus. But even a raw coin placed directly on the glass has significantly worse image quality than the old 2100.
The first image is a coin scanned with the old 2100. The second has been scanned in a similar slab by the 8600

Hi terry_renee,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I am happy to help you with this scanning issue! I did a test with an HP Officejet 8600, at 1200 dpi, and no plastic covering. Just the quarter on the glass, and we cropped it to the quarter. This is the result.
I have a few questions for you:
What Operating System are you using for scanning? Windows or Mac? What version?
What scanning software are you using?
Are you scanning from the computer, or the printer's control panel?
Hope to hear back from you, and have a great day!

Unable to Completely Scan Legal Size Documents with Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

I am trying scan legal sized documents on my new Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. I have reviewed the forums, and this has been a recurring problem in the past (see link--- http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Scanning-Faxing-and-Copying/Scanning-Legal-Size-Documents/m-p/35416#M14... ), but does not appear to be resolved. Whether I use the document feeder or the glass, the document is cut off at the bottom, and appears to be stopping at the 'A4' size, vs. legal. I cannot locate any setting on the scanner itself, or in the HP Utility software to change this, or even to be able to identify the current setting, if it is one.
I am using a Mac Pro, system 10.6.8, just installed and started using the printer a couple of days ago, and everything is up to date software-wise. Everything else on this machine has been working beautifully.
Can anyone identify what's going on here and how to correct it?
Thanks for your help--I specifically chose this particular unit over the next model down due to the legal sized glass/bed, and if I can't use it to scan legal docs, well, that's a problem. Thanks for your help!
This question was solved.

Hello,
Please try the following steps:
1. Open the HP Utility and select your device.
2. From Scan Settings open the "Scan to Computer".
3. Click the "Scan Tasks" tab.
4. Select the Scan Shortcut used to scan, then click Edit.
5. In the section of Scan from an HP Device click on the blue triangle to enlarge the menu.
6. From the enlarged menu now open the drop-down menu next to Crop To and set as None.
7. Click OK and try scanning again.
Please let me know of any change,

Problem with Officejet Pro 8600 wireless printing

HP Officejet Pro 8600 will no longer print wirelessly from laptop, but will from IPad and Android phone using Samsung and Google Print. Used to work fine. Unaware of any changes to settings in either printer or computer setup. Have gone thru all trouble shooting steps including rebooting computer, router, and printer. Computer is connected to internet and bluetooth is on and working. Computer finds the printer but says it's offline. Printer settings say printer wireless is on and is connected to network but wireless light will not illuminate.
As you can tell, I'm no expert. Experienced user, but not in wireless issues. Computer is Windows 8.1. I've read all the support info on this problem on the HP website and taken as many steps as looked appropriate (or I understood). Everything so far looks nominal except for the wireless light on the printer.
Any thoughts?

Well, I finally got it to work by resetting and rebooting everything, starting with the modem/router, then laptop, I-Pad, and Android phone. Wireless light on the printer doesn't seem to be an issue. My Att DSL line is spotty at best, giving the modem not much to work with. The interaction of all the elements is complex given the demands I put on them. I'm 75 and have owned so many computers and peripherals since 1982 that I've lost count of them. But they haven't gotten easier to work with. I should have taken training as a network administrator rather than real estate!

Problem printing wirelessly with OfficeJet Pro 8600 on a Macbook Pro running OS 10.7.4

I just bought this printer. Setup when perfect, my Mac sees it and when I print, it starts fine, until... it looses contact.
I re-installed everything twice, and I even got the latest installer from HP's web site.
ePrint works fine, so I know docs make their way to the printer.
The router is a Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router, model WRT160Nv2, with firmware v2.0.02
Please help!!!
I even make a clip showing the problem.... http://youtu.be/Qlep8ZK8Dv0

Verify the router is on the latest firmware. If not, upgrade it.
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 1...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
You should use WPA2-AES and reset your TV and all your other wireless devices as it will ask for a new password/paraphrase.
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

Officejet pro 8600 waiting for job to complete on Mac

Hi
I have the problem where after printing the I get the message "waiting for job to complete" which never goes away by itself. I can manually delete the item and then continue to print repeating the process every time I need to pringt.
I have read the forums and found similar issues but not exactly the same and the recommendation for that was to reset the print system and resinstall. I did that but the problem persists.
Printer: Officejet pro 8600 Plus
OS: OSX 10.9.3
Connection: Wireless and USB (same issue with both)
When I initially installed the printer it worked fine. When I upgraded to 10.9 it worked fine but the problem arose soon after.
Thanks

Welcome to the forums MedlandLime,
I understand you are seeing a message saying "waiting for job to complete" after you print and the message will not dissipate. I saw that you have reset the print system and reinstalled and the message continues. I have some more ideas that might help.
First of all, test the printer hardware itself and make a couple of copies. If the copies work fine, the printer is okay!
Next, try updating the printers Firmware through the front panel: Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates
If the issue still persists, follow these steps in order:
Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
Repair disk permissions
Restart the computer
Re-add the printer and ensure it's the HP driver and not the AirPrint driver: HP Officejet Pro 8600 series Full Feature Software and Driver- OS X 10.9 Mavericks
Please let me know the results!
Have a great Monday

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

HP Officejet Pro 8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format

HP Officejet Pro 8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format
The scanner scans the document without a problem but when I select 'SAVE' and
specify a location and file name, a system error 'The HP scan application was
unable to save the file to the specified location'. It will save a regular PDF file
or a JPG file with no problem, but trying to save an searchable PDF or .rtf file
results in the above mentioned system error.
This problem occurs either from HP SCAN or from the 8600 scan panel.
The computer is running Windows XP and the I.R.I.S. OCR software is
loaded.

Hello TrailsEnd,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're receiving an error message "The HP scan application was unable to save the file to the specified location". I will do my best to assist you!
First, I would recommend downloading this tool called the Print and Scan Doctor. This tool diagnoses and helps resolve common printing, scanning, and connectivity problems, including: (This information is stated here.)
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.
Let me know if this tool fixes a scanning problem on this post. If this doesn't resolve your issue, then I am going to recommend uninstalling the software. Please follow this HP document on Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once this is complete, you can perform a clean boot on your computer. I will provide a Microsoft document here to help you. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program. Now, you can install the full feature software from the HP website here.
Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!
