How can I Print a 4X6 postcard on a hp officejet pro 8600

How do I print a 4X6 postcard on a hp officejet pro 8600?  I've got postcards in the tray 1 slot on top of the printer, and have selected 4X6 card in the properties with both the auto select and tray one, but no matter what I do, it still prints out from tray 2 on 8X11 paper. Any help would be appreciated?

Hi, Please install the latest firmware from link below for the printer and try again. Assuming your printer is Officejet pro 8600 premium or plus http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=bi-102210-4&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4063&product=4323648&sw_lang=

  • How can I set the fax prefix no. on HP officejet pro 8600

    Greeting.
    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600, and I want to send FAX thru this.
    In my office, we need to put '0' to call outside.
    However, there is no prefix setting menu on this device.
    I have another model HP 1213mf which has Prefix No. menu on it, but I couldn't find this menu on 8600.
    Please Help me

    Hi Wony,
    Welcome to the HP forums!
    I understand you're looking for a way to add a prefix on the Officejet 8600 for faxing, and I will do my best to explain what I found on this subject.
    As far as I can tell, and I did check with a few colleagues, there is no Prefix No. menu on the OJ 8600 like there was on your LaserJet 1213mf. With that being said, that doesn't mean that you can't use this printer to fax in your office. Anytime you need to dial the fax you would hit the 0 first follow by ##, as that adds a pause to the dialing to then dial the rest of the number. You can also add that to speed dial numbers so that for numbers that are used all the time you don't have to dial the number each and every time.
    So just as an example, if you were to fax HP's faxback server (1-888-473-2963) you would dial "0##1-888-473-2963" to get the fax to send.
    This may not be exactly what you were looking for, but I hope this is an acceptable workaround Please let me know!

  • How to print lever arch spine labels on HP Officejet Pro 8600

    how do you print level arch spine labels on HP Officejet Pro 8600?

    SOTAP, sounds like you are having a dilemma printing these labels. First question, did these labels come with a program or CD that you use for printing? Most labels like those from Avery have a specialized program for formatting the labels for printing. 
    Let me know!

  • How do I print single envelopes on my hp office jet Pro 8600 premium

    How do I print single evelopes on my hp  office jet Pro 8600 premium

    Hi B4567
    I understand you would like to know how to print a single envelope.
    I have provided a document on how to print envelopes. There is also a video included.
    You could use the one tray for envelopes and the other one for paper so you don't have to keep pulling out the stack of paper to print one envelope all the time.
    Hope that helps.

  • How do I print 4x6 photos on an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus via Windows Photo Viewer or Gallery

    Dear Experts, I've got an HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer with just one paper tray in which I loaded 4x6 photo paper.
    The printer was purchased in January 2014, the latest drivers are installed. Now I would like to print a single 4x6 photo using Windows Photo Viewer or Gallery.I loaded the 4x6 photo paper  into the tray as indicated by the little icon labeled 4x6in, so I suppose I got the HW part right. It's just the SW part which gives me a hard time. The available paper size options in Windows Photo Viewer and Gallerydon't include photo paper sizes, just the standard paper and envelope sizes.Hence I checked in the HP Printer Assistant in "Set Preferences" what kind of paper sizes are available, and there is exactly the same list as proposed by Gallery, missing photo paper sizes. So I guess Gallery just picks the sizes from the driver and ther are no photo paper sizes. This is an issue because I prefer to print from my PC using Win 7 or Win 8 and not from a SD card or a USB stick. Any help is very welcome, thank you in advance!   

    Thank you for this link! Actually I installed a brand new Windows 8 system in January 2014 and then bought the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer a few days later. To install this printer I did not use the CD that came with it but already used this link. Just to be sure that I have the latest version I again reinstalled the driver. The result is definitive: You cannot print common photo paper sizes like 4x6,  5x7, 8x10, etc. via a PC using photo SW like HP Photo Creations, MS Gallery, Windows Photo Viewer or any other SW on a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. The reason is most likely that HP marketing decided that an Officejet should not be smart enough for photos, after all the company sells also Photosmarts. Because you cannot create your own formats  you are limited by the driver to what is typically available in an office, in this case:  A4, Letter, legal, Statement, Executive, A4, A5, A6, B54 (JIS), Envelopes #10-DL-C5-C6-A2-Monarch, Japanese Postcard, Japanese Envelope Chou #3-#4, L, 2L, O**bleep**u hagaki, Index Card Letter-A4, Edge-to-Edge Letter-A4, Env. Japanese No 3-No 4 and that's it, not more. Thank you anyway for trying to help me but in this case only the SW developers in HP can help.It would be great to be able to print from time to time a 4x6 photo on this printer like I would do.Copying photos on a USB stick or on a SD card first and then use this way to print on the printer is too cumbersome for me.

    After installing latest OS 5.1 update I can no longer print to my HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer?   Suggestions?

    Installing the new os may have tricked one of the three devices involved.  If it used to work, it will again.

  • 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.

  • Can't Login to Embedded Web Server for HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g that I am trying to access in order to update the adress book for the scanner but in order to do that I must login. I have never set up a user name or password for it. Is there a default username and password?

    Hello @jessescopely, 
    Welcome back to the HP forums.
    I understand that when you try to access the EWS (Embedded Web Server) for your Officejet pro 8600, you are prompted for a username and password.
    Unfortunately there is no default username or password.
    On rare occasions this can be fixed by restoring the network defaults.
    Go into the Setup menu.
    Select the Network sub menu.
    Choose Restore Network Defaults.
    I have also sent you via private message the steps to reset your printer back to factory defaults.
    If you are unfamiliar with how the Forum's private message capability works, this post has instructions.
    If neither of those clear the password, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836.

  • 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.

  • Air print on iPad does not connect to officejet pro 8600 plus

    My macbook prints fine wirelessly to our hp officejet pro 8600 plus with an arris TC862 router. IPad, however, will not. Is there an easy fix that will not disrupt my computer's wireless connection because I did not find it easy to set up, so don't really want to redo that connection. bluetooth is off and ipad and printer are on same network.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    You may have already tried this but try restarting your apple device - It's a simple fix that sometimes helps re-establish the connection to the printer.
    Other things to check would be that there have been no recent changes to the wifi password.

  • Printing starts too far down the page - officejet pro 8600

    Have an officejet pro 8600.
    Recently, when printing, two probelms occur...
    (1) the document being printed starts printing approx 1.5" to 2" futher down the page then it should. This results in the bottom portion of the document Not being printed.
    (2) there is a crease/fold approx 3" from the top of the paper.
    It appears that either the paper is being fed too soon or the actual printing is being delayed.
    We have cleaned all the rollers and check the star wheel - no damages
    Thanks for your help
