Getting my HP Officejet Pro to do other functions in Linux

I use a debian distro of Linux as the primary OS, the printing part works fine, it's all the other functions that don't.
How do I get the scan to file, email, etc. to work with the Linux OS?

Ctopkis, Make sure you have updated your firmware. Here is the link to the lastest firmware that was posted on 02-18-2012.
Firmware upgrade is for HP Officejet Pro 8100 ePrinter - N811a
Post back and let me know if this fixes the issue or not.

How can I get my HP Officejet Pro 8100 to work. I had HP on the phone for over two hours and thought it was fixed. Now it just will not print at all.

How can I get my HP Officejet Pro 8100 to work.
I'm using an iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013) running Yosemite. I spent hours on the phone with HP who did their best and thought they had solved the problem Now it has stopped printing completely. Just says 'idle' or' connecting to printer' but never does.

Greetings paulr.paulr,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are unable to print from your Mac running Yosemite on your HP Officejet Pro 8100. I know that printer issues can be very frustrating, but I believe the information in the attached article will be able to assist you. I would suggest reading over and systematically working your way through the suggested troubleshooting steps located in the following article. If any issues arise as you work your way through the steps, or if you work your way completely to the end and reset the printing system and the issue continues, please let me know.

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.

Hey , I understand that you are not able to print the court seal on legal documents on your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue. However, I do need to clarify a few things before I will be able to guide you to a solution. (1) What program are you printing these court documents through? (2) Does the court seal appear in a Print Preview window under the program? Once I have the answers to my two questions above I will be happy to guide you to a solution. I look forward to hearing from you!

How do I get the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus to print only black or grayscale? What is the procedure?

How do I set my HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus to print only black or grayscale? What is the procedure?

Hi, Looks like you have to do this from the aplications. Here is the procedure from its manual, page #36: 1. Load paper in the tray. For more information, see Load media.
2. On the File menu in your software application, click Print.
3. Make sure the printer you want to use is selected.
4. To change settings, click the button that opens the Properties dialog box. Depending on your software application, this button might be called Properties, Options, Printer Setup, Printer, or Preferences.
5. Change the paper orientation on the Layout tab, and paper source, media type, paper size, and quality settings on the Paper/Quality tab. To print in black and
white, click the Advanced button, and then change the Print in Grayscale option.
6. Click OK.
7. Click Print or OK to begin printing Regards.

How do I get my HP Officejet Pro 8500 won't print from a program called "The Print Shop 12"?

I can not get my printer to print from this one program I have called "The Print Shop 12." I don't get an error message, it acts like it want to print but then nothing.

I do not know about the Print Shop program but I know that sometimes quickbooks has this issue. We have two different work around for this, 1st one Click your start button go to your printer & devices folder and right click the 8500 printer and either RENAME it or go to Properties to Rename is to OJ8500 and then Apply and safe that change and try it.
2nd step if that does not work, click start, go back to the printers and faxes and "add a printer" when you get to the list of manufactures click HP or Hewlett-Packard and look for the deskjet ICC printer and add it, naming it PrintShop and then you should be able to printer threw that program.

Hello, I´m using Lightroom 5 with all updates. If I import photos often I get the information, that some smart-"Vorschauen" could not create. I´m using a MacBook Pro. All other functions are well. What can I do?

If you need further information, feel free to contact me.

Hi Andy,
I'm using Mac OSX 10.7.5
No the one with the caps seems to be working normally.This project with the caps now has four files. Originally I created it with about fifteen. I deleted eleven of them and edited the remaining four. The four files each have one version and its original. It wasn't until after I completed this work that I noticed the privious project when opened and scrolled had the entire library in it.
The test I did went like this. With the problem opened I deleted one file that I new existed prior to this problem. I than opened that project that I new it was from to see if it got deleted and found it gone and moved to trash. I think that tells me that if I delete all the files in the problem project I'll be in trouble. I also have inported to projects each with one file that I edited. They are working fine. I took a look in the problem project and this last
two imports show the thumdnails in it.
Currently on my Hard Drive I have 275 GB free space. My photo's take up 138 GB. As I said on Dec. 1st I backed up the system using time machine. So all of Dec. and part of Jan. inports won't be on it. I could work around the problem project and move those file to a safe place. I think it best not to back up the system with Time Machine until I'm confident the Aperture is runing properly. I'm happy that I control these system backups manually.
I'll need to find out how to copy the Aperture library to another place. I'm sure I can poke around and fined out the process.
Thanks Andy for the come back!

Problem connecting to a HP OfficeJet Pro 8500a

I am attempting to get a HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 A909a installed on my system. The printer is succesfuly connected via ethernet to our router, my iMac (10.8.2) can easily see the device but when I attempt to connect it wants to download and install drivers from Apple, when I select Download & Install I get a message that says:
Can't install the software for the HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
I have attempted over several days to and also downloaded and successfuly installed the January 13, 2013 HP Printer Drivers v.2.13 for OS X however that still does not work. Looking at Apple's Printer and scanner software available for download it appears the device is supported but I'm not getting anywhere.
My system is a 2011 27" iMac, 24GB RAM, Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
Anyone have some ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Roger

Hi Roger. Two actions that have helped some users in the past with the same issue.
1. Reset the printing system
2. Trash the contents of the HP folder in /Library/Printers
For some the reset has been enough but I've also had some cases where the removal of existing driver content is necessary.
I'm not sure what list 10.8 looks at to determine if it already has the driver installed. It appears that it doesn't check the contents of /Library/Printers, otherwise it should see the driver is already present on the Mac for most users, since they have installed the HP Driver update as you have done.

Officejet Pro 8500A Plus can't scan to e-mail

I have an Officejet Pro 8500A Plus and Windows 7 32-bit OS and using Outlook 2010. I'm trying to scan to e-mail and am having no luck. From the printer interface I choose SCAN --> COMPUTER --> (MyComputer) --> E-MAIL AS PDF. It performs the scan, but then on my computer, I get the following error:
"The HP Scan application is unable to open your e-mail application and/or cannot attach the scan to a new email. Please check your email configuration and try again."
I've checked the configuration in CONTROL PANEL --> DEFAULT PROGRAMS --> SET YOUR DEFAULT PROGRAMS. I made sure that I selected Microsoft Outlook and clicked Choose Defaults For This Program. I then selected all Extenstions and Protocols and still no luck.
Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution? Thanks. You may be wondering why I don't just use the Scan to Email instead of scan to computer. Well, unless there's a way to import all 400+ contacts from my Outlook to the address book in the scanner, this is the fastest way for me to scan an item and send it as an e-mail to various people.
Thanks.

Software Conflict between HP G4050 scanner and HP Officejet Pro L7700 all-in-one

I have a Sony Vaio pc, OS Windows 7 HmEd 64-bit (updated), using Norton 360 (updated).
My pc and a Mac are both connected wirelessly to the Officejet Pro L7700. My pc is connected to the G4050 with a USB cable, as the G4050 does not have wireless capability.
The conflict is: (I initially had L7700 installed on my pc, and all was well) After installing the G4050, all worked for a while, then I go to print/scan, and receive error message that neither machine can be found, (though both are installed). So, will uninstall and reinstall one or both machines. It works fine for a while then, then same thing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times in a year. There is a conflict with the sofware of the 2 machines. All other software on my computer works fine, and if I'm using only one of the HP products all works fine - the conflict is the software for these 2 HP products TOGETHER.
1. Is it possible to successfully use both of these machines installed on a pc?
2. Do I need a patch, or how can I make this work?
Currently, I just have the L7700 installed and working great, but very soon I need to (again) install the portable G4050 to scan negatives and prints.
Please help! I love HP products. How can I get these 2 to work together? If not, what else can I do?
Thank you in advance for a prompt response.

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you cannot get your HP Officejet Pro 8600, and HP Officejet Pro 6600 printers to work on Windows 10. And, I am happy to help! According to this guide, Windows 10 Compatible Printers, both printers are compatible with Windows 10. So we will need to do some troubleshooting steps in order to get them to work. Some questions for you: To verify both printers hardware is functioning standalone, are you able to make copies using the scanner glass? Copying a Multipage Original.Do you see any error messages on the computer screen or any of the printers display screens? In the meantime, please try the HP Print and Scan Doctor, and post the results! Hope to hear from you soon! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

Windows Server 2012 Standard - HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus printer not working after promoting to Domain Controller / AD Services

An associate and myself installed the built-in drivers for the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus multi-function (network) printer on a Windows Server 2012 Standard server installation and everything worked fine whenever I want to print anything directly from the
Windows Server machine (there's a reason for this, so please understand that ;) ).
We were able to print without any problems from the Windows Server 2012 machine, using the drivers from Microsoft. Mainly, because HP has not listed any specific support for Windows Server 2012, only Windows Server 2008 R2, however, the drivers that
came with Windows 2012 seem to work very well.
PROBLEM: I later had to promote the Windows Server 2012 to a Domain Controller, and created the Active Directory configurations, even enabled the Print Services. After doing all of that, the HP printer will not print anything. It's like all print
requests directly from the Windows Server go to Nil.
Has anyone encountered a problem like this before? The only thing I can think of is that after perhaps something affected printing directly once we promoted the server to being a DC, and added other features / roles. I even tried installing the
HP drivers for Windows Server 2008 R2, and the results are still the same...nothing prints. Trust me, the printer is set as the Default Printer and even when choosing to print, we make sure the HP OfficeJet Pro is selected, and is on, as other Windows
Client PC's can print to it directly.
Does anyone have any suggestions we could try? Thanks in advance.

While it is quite a while since this was posted - I can concur a similar issue exists.
We have spent the better part of a day trying to work out why other HP printers work fine but our 8620 prints are not printing and going to Nil. The print server is hosted on a shared DC. Comparing to the initial posters details, for some reason
it seems to be most commonly related to the OfficeJet Pro 8600/8610/8620/8630 series printers.
I ended up doing a print server migration from the domain controller to stand alone host and all printers now work from a single server rather than a mix. Domain controller OSes varied from 2008, 2012, 2012 R2 (tested with multiple) and only after
all of those failed then tried a stand alone server os machine as a last resort which worked fine. Printing directly from Win 7 / 8 /8.1 clients to the IP always worked.

How do I tak out the ink cartridge on HP Officejet Pro 8600?

Need to remove my ink cartridge to buy a set backup. How do you remove the old cartridge?

The HP Office Pro 8600 series consists of 3 model variations. I have the Plus version. All functions similiar.
With the power 'ON', grip the side of the front panel (left handed) just below the HP logo. The entire panel will swing down. The ink cartridge bay will move from the right to the left. Push on the cartridge, and it will pop-out.
Manual, see pg 13 and 92. WARNING per HP: Never turn off the printer when ink cartridges are missing.
