Welcome to the Apple Community.
You should only get that message when you are trying to create a new account.
Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your mobile device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another device or computer.

I can print a test page from my Mac to my HP Officejet Pro 8600 but nothing else will print

Hi - I just recently had a hard drive crash and had to revert to an old Time Machine backup on my new hard drive to get my Mac back. Since getting back up and running I have been unable to get my Officejet Pro 8600 back online. My computer is wired to the wireless router but the printer is running wireless. My computer can see the printer just fine and I can even print a "Print Quality Diagnostic" report from my Mac to the printer from the HP utility. But nothing else will print. The firmware is up to date. I have tried resetting the printing system multiple times, rebooting the machine, etc... Nothing works. Any help would be appreciated.
If it helps, we were using a different printer the last time the time machine was backed up, so when we used that backup the old printer was showing, but I reset the printing system, so it shouldn't matter.
Thanks for your help!

Hello @Ryan221,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see your hard drive recently crashed and now you are not longer able to print to your HP Officejet Pro 8600. I see you have reset the printing system with no success. Let's try a different approach:
Scrub/ Uninstall
• Open the Applications folder > HP or Hewlett Packard folder > HP Uninstaller
• Click continue, click on one of the printers in the list.
• * Only do this step if you do not have any other HP Printers. Hold down Control, Option and Command, While holding the three buttons down,
• Click uninstall.
Reset Printing System
1. Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.
2. In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
3. Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
4. Click OK to confirm the reset.
5. Type the correct Name and Password.
6. Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol..
Repair Disk Permissions
1.On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
2.Double-click Disk Utility.
3.Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
4.Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
5.Once the repair is complete, restart the computer.
Restart the printer. Now you can download and install the printer software and install it. Click on the link below to begin the download and follow the on screen instructions:
HP Officejet Pro Full Feature Software and Driver - Mac OS X 10.6, OS X 10.7, OS X 10.8
I hope this helps, please let me know the outcome!

Officejet pro 8600 all in one printer

I have windows 7 on an hp pavilion p7 desktop. I am trying to install an officejet pro 8600 on it. I have had this printer hooked up for months and working right but when it was unplugged it stopped doing what I want. I have it hooked up by a USB cable directly from the printer to the pc. I have 2 papers in the queue to print and I can't get them out..This pc is not on a network. I have uninstalled & reinstalled it 5 times and tried to remember how I finally got it to work for me before...But No luck...Can anyone help? Also wouldn't let me download Driver & update features from H.P. It does print out a test page when I try it and will print stuff that the PC says to but will not let me print anything...Thanks

Hi @Normill
I will do my best to help you print with your OJ 8600
When you said "It does print out a test page when I try it and will print stuff that the PC says to but will not let me print anything" are you meaning that it will print PC test pages but not from say Word?
I'd recommend that you download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor and let me know if it finds any issues. If it does, please follow any suggestions it may make to get a resolution.
Hope to hear back from you soon!

'Connection Error' message on HP Officejet Pro 8600

Hi. Would really appreciate help on this. I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600. Working wirelessly. All connections are fine, print & scan etc works fine. However when i touch the screen on the printer, for example to click 'Apps', I get the following message:
' Connection Error. The printer was unable to connect to the server. Check your internet connection and try again.'
I don't understand why I am getting this message, nor how to resolve it. The connection seems fine because I am printing and scanning wirelessly without an issue.
Can anyone help me on this? Thanks

I know this will sound like it shouldn't work, but turn the printer off and back on, then try the apps again. If that doesn't work, or you've tried it, turn off your router and your printer. Turn your router back on, but leave the printer turned off. Wait for the router to stabalize, about 1-2 minutes normally. Turn the printer back on and try the apps. If that doesn't work, let me know.

Can't get officeJet Pro 8600 wireless to connect

This is so frustrating. I just bought a HP Officejet Pro 8600 and am trying to set up the wireless connection to my ATT-supplied Netgear 7550 router. I keep getting a message that "MAC address filtering is enabled on your wireless router" even though I have checked in the router setup and I am certain that it is not (it clearly says MAC is "not enabled"). I talked to the ATT tech support and they agreed--we even hard-rebooted the router and re-installed it and it seems to be working as intended. I have unplugged and re-plugged the printer. I have spent over 2 hours and keep getting the same message.
Help?
Oh, I have also tried the HP Dr. software taht has been recommended to others, but it does not find my printer.

Thanks for the reply. I believe I already tried that once. I added the printer MAC address and selected "allow this address" or something like that. It did not seem to help, so I went back and disabled the MAC filtering completely. But, I can try that again. Certainly won't hurt.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Network connection error message in EWS

I just got an Officejet Pro 8600 Premium. The printer is connected to the network via a network cable. When navigating through the EWS, sometimes the message "Network connection error. Check network and try again." message is shown (the message could appear in various pages, such as Settings, Tools, etc.). Refreshing the page should get rid of the message.
At first, I suspected if it was a problem with the network. So I pinged the printer's ip address continuously. It did not miss a single beat. The printer prints and scans well via the network. So I think the error may be caused by something inside of the print, such as bug of EWS software, or internal error.
Anyone see the same message during the use? Any suggestion? Does it indicate there is hardware problem with the printer? Thanks.

HP Support has escalated the case. I referred this thread in the support request. Hopefully, they can have a look at the issue.
For me, the only setting does not stick is "Use the same time zone set on this computer" in Settings\Date & Time. I've created another ticket for this issue. 8500A has the same problem.
You can try to restart the EWS. Unplug the power cord while the printer is on. Then wait 15 sec and reconnect the power cord. Press the power button if the printer does not turn on by itself.

HP Officejet Pro 8600: "Unable to Communicate with Printer" error message

I receive the error message "Unable to Communicate with Printer" regularly when I print. Sometimes it will print 3 or 4 times just fine before I get this message. Sometimes it happens my first try at printing. I then have to reboot my computer to get it to work again. My OS is Windows 7 and my printer is an HP Officejet Pro 8600. My printer is wired to my computer. I have tried re-installing the printer software but this did not help. I've had this printer for only four months. Started happening after the second month. Any suggestions?

I finally solved it. Reflecting back on previous message boards I decided to try one last time. Some posters have found the problem in the Antivirus, Firewall protections. (By the way, I had even upgraded my router with no luck).I have Norton AntiVirus provided by the cable company.1. I turned off everything in the firewall. Although this left me vulnerable for a few mintues, I needed a fast test.2. It worked! I was able to print something immediately.3. I went back into the firewall, turned everything back on but turned off an individual switch within the firewall that said to "share the printer. "4. After turning it off, I was able to print and still have the most important parts of the firewall.This ultimately met my needs.Perhaps HP could:1. Do a better job at beta testing prior to release, including various brands of firewalls. Is there even a beta test process?2. Provide a better description of the error since all indicators within the drivers say the printer is connected. There should be a message indicating that it's connected but unable to print due to firewall protections.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 - Text Gray not Black - HP Utility Crashes - Hundreds of Ethernet Messages

I bought an HP OJP 8600 for home use, hoping for quality and speed, and little intervention on my part. Using the printer from both an HP Windows 7 Laptop, and a MacBook Pro OS X 9.5, but mostly the MacBook Pro.
I recently started working ten hours a day and weekends at home. I am printing a lot of letters for business and for work.
I've got a bit of color blindness toward pastel and light colors, so I always have my artist daughter double check my work when necessary.
Both of us were looking at a letter I received from a state agency and then looking at my reply letter from the 8600. The letter from the agency had dark black, clear text. By comparison my letter looked to have "thinner" text (even using the same font the agency selected) and the text in my letter is noticably gray by comparison. I get the same results on both computers.
I double checked all the settings, made sure the print quality is "best" and I even use 98 brightness paper.
The "HP Utility" made by HP for the MacBook Pro is almost useless. The HP Utility fills up my folders with CRASH reports, is always running, and the Activity Monitor always shows the "HP Utility" using some unexpected extra amount of CPU.
With the poor wireless radio on the OJP 8600 I finally shut it off, and connected the printer by ethernet to the router. But while looking for computer performance problems I used a packet sniffer on the connection. I found about 40 HP OJP 8600 messages a SECOND sending the same routine information over and over and over.
My warrenty is up in December. Do I let it expire and junk the printer? Or is there a fix for some of these problems?
I appreciate any suggestions, but please, tell me it is a suggestion if it is. If you haven't tried it and found it to work please don't tell me "here is a solution."

Hello @UThrewError ,
I have read your post as well as your post and thread history. I do have a suggestion for you, in regards to your "quality" issues with your print outs. I would suggest to you, to try the steps listed in this certain guide below to see if the steps help with the quality.
Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer
If they do not help at all, and to add to the history of issues you've experienced, I would next suggest calling HP technical support directly. My reason behind that would be, if the printer is coming up to the warranty end period, and you have had ongoing unresolved problems with the printer, and presently print quality troubles, it's best to have a technician hear about it. If they see fit an in-warranty replacement, they could make that happen with you before the warranty expires. I will leave their contact info below if you decide to call HP.
HP's contact info:
If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and if you are calling outside of the US/Canada,: click here.

How do i get the hp officejet pro 8600 premium to print from my ipad2 using airprint?

how do i get the hp officejet pro 8600 premium to print from my ipad2 using airprint? The iPad does not see the printer.

Hi RiverBirch,
What brand and model is your router?
First, connect your printer to your router.
1. From printer front panel, press Wireless>Wireless Settings>Wireless Setup Wizard and follow the onscreen instructions to successfully connect your printer with an IP address.
Secondly, connect your iPad to the same router.
1. Connect your iPad to the Internet and download the free HP ePrint Home & Biz app from the apps store.
2. Connect your iPad to the same network as the printer. Settings>Network.
3. Use the new HP Home & Biz app to print and scan photos or docs from your iPad!
Alternatively, you can also perform Airprint on the iPad thru the wireless network from the Photos menu in your iPad.

How to override cartridge empty message and continue printing on Officejet Pro 8600

Hi,
I'm setting up a new OfficeJet Pro 8600 printer for my parents. On my HP color laser printer I am able to override the setting where the printer stops printing because it hit a date or page quantity. My parents don't print complex, color documents often, so I want to override this setting on the OfficeJet Pro 8600. I can't find any documentation on how to do this on this particular model. Is there a series of steps via the touch panel on the printer? I tried the web interface but didn't find the setting to continue, and I don't know if I also have to set the override on the printer itself. Thank you in advance, I want to make sure my senior citizen parents get the most out of their ink cartridge investment.
They are on Windows 7, if that matters..
Thank you in advance for any and all help!
Paula

Hey skymom,
On this model there is not a way to override an empty cartridge message other than replacing the empty catridge. Do tests still show that there is a usable amount of ink?
Any additional info would be great. Thanks!
