Cannot start scan from HP Office Jet Pro 8620 since upgrading to Windows 10

I updated to Windows 10 Home 64 bit. I can scan if it is started from the PC on the HP Printer Assistant.But cannot start a scan from the front panel on the 8620 printer,it times out and gives errors"The scan could not be completed due to one or more of the following issues-connection to the computer is lost-The scan application on the computer is currently in use- OCR application is not installed on the computerSee the computer monitor for details" Nothing is displayed on the computer monitor. How do I get scan to work on the printer without initiating it from the PC?

Hi, Please check that the Software is installed, you can download the software from this link: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-officejet-pro-8620-e-all-in-one-printer-series/5367611/model/5367613#Z7_3054ICK0K8UDA0AQC11TA930C7 Once installed, can you start up your printer software and under Scan, there is a "Manage Scan to Computer" tab. Click on the "Manage Scan to Computer" tab and make sure it is enabled. Hope that helps!

ADF scanning with HP Office jet pro 8600

Have a new machine. I can scan documents individually on the scanner glass no problem, and when I feed documents through the ADF it all feeds through ok and says "scan successful" however what I have scanned through the ADF always shows as a blank document. I have checked and double checked I am scanning the documents the right way up and even did it the opposite way just to be sure) and made sure I dont have anything on the glass blocking the scan. I have changed between text and photo settings. What am I doing wrong or is there something wrong with the scanner or the ADF?? Its like the document is not being fed through past the glass (I assume thats how it works??) however the machine doesnt make any funny noices or otherwise lets me know anything is wrong. I get no error messages. This is only with the ADF.

If the document is coming in blank, one of the reasons for that could be that the ADF is dirty and it is not able to read the document. That would be the first thing that you would want to do when troubleshooting any kind of scan quality issue. The flatbed scanner and the ADF use different components to scan. That document is very relevant to this issue. Solution 5 is servicing the printer...which means that the ADF hardware has probably gone bad and it needs to be replaced. If you were to call into phone support, everything in that document would have to be completed before the printer could be replaced regardless. If it does come down to that, then you are saving yourself time by not having to do it later when you call into support.
However, I do have another step that can tried before reaching that conclusion. If after trying that you are still having issues, then I would recommend that we try a semi-full reset on the printer. If that doesn't fix it, then it is a hardware issue. Try the steps in that document and report back to me and let me know if they work or not. If they do not, I will send you a private message through the forums with the steps on how to perform a semi-full reset.
Best of luck,
Kyle

Can't scan from Office Jet Pro 8600

I can't scan from my Office Jet Pro 8600. I'm connected to my home Verizon Fios wireless network. I'm running Windows XP. The printer works fine, but I can't scan. When I use the display on the printer I get a "No Computer Found" message. When I go to find the scanner on the Control Panel/Scanners & Cameras - I can see the printer listed, but when I click on the printer, I get a message that reads: "The scanning software could not be found, or your scanner is not connected. Please make sure your scanner & your scanner software are properly installed." So then I use the HP Print & Scan Doctor to download to "Get Installer" presumably to download the software. After the software downloads, there is no difference. I still can scan, & the network is not seeing the scanner. What gives?

Hello,
I see that an issue has popped up that pertains to NOT being able to scan.
Please click on the following link that troubleshoots A 'Connection Error' or 'No Computer Detected' Error Message Displays during Scanning.
Please feel free to write back with any additional questions or concerns.

How to Scan using your HP Office Jet Pro 8600

Well, I figured out my own answer because I couldn't find a "solved" topic in this regard. So then I decided to post my findings in order to help the next querier (is that a word = one who queries). FYI - I am not a 'techie' and while I can find my way around a computer it sometimes takes a while. Also, I have Windows 7 on this laptop if that makes a difference.
1. Go to Control Panel and choose:
2. Hardware and Sound, then
3. Devices & Printers, then
4. Fax-HP Office Jet Pro 8600 (Network) or whatever printer choice pertains to your situation, then
5. HP Printer Assistant, then
6. Scanner Actions, then
7. Scan a document or photo, then
8. Save as PDF
9. Scan
10. Save to folder you choose
I know this may seem simplistic to most of you but maybe someone like me is out there trying to find this out and this might help.

Hi Acupuncture,
Thank you very much for posting your solution that you found yourself, on using the scan function on your HP OfficeJet Pro 8600. I also apologize we were not fast enough to answer one of your inquiries on the HP Support Forums. I was able to check your user page but was unable to find your initial post on asking us How to Scan, did you delete the question? Either way I am glad you are now up and scanning from your OJ 8600.
For future reference I would like you to take a look here: How to Scan: Windows 7, here you will be given all options and shortcuts on scanning with or without the HP software as well as some cool features, like scanning from the front panel of your 8600 and adding multiple pages to a single file.
Again I appreciate you taking the time to help the other Community members, so Thank you again!!

How do i connect a surface 2 to an office jet pro 8600

I am trying to connect a surface 2 windows RT 8.1 tablet to an HP office jet pro 8600. I have down loaded the driver from the HP web site but I get an error message that states it can not be run on this computer, and I should go to the app store. I can't find any special appnfor this.

Hi 1643, welcome to the HP Forums. Windows RT does not need drivers installed like other versions of Window. It should be just a matter of connecting it with a USB cable, or following the wireless/wired instructions contained in this document:
Install the Printer Software in Windows RT or Windows 8 on a Tablet.
Let me know how it goes

Hp office jet pro 8600 won't scan

Wirelessly connected office jet pro 8600 won't scan in windows. I've checked to make sure proper services are running and they are. Started running diagnostics utility and the driver didn't check out but I have the correct one installed and the printer works just fine. Occasionally a message pops up and says that the computer has lost connection with the scanner. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi GradyIV,
I can help you scan from your Officejet 8600 to your Windows operating system. It sounds like you have run the HP Print and Scan Doctor, is this whee you say the driver error?
I suggest using the following steps to delete the printer from device and printers, and the driver from the server properties.
1. In the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder
2. Choose ‘Print server properties’.
Win XP – With no printer selected, click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.
Windows Vista – With no printer selected, press ‘Alt’ then click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.
Windows 7/8 and 8.1 – Select any printer in the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder and click ‘Print Server properties’ above.
3. Click on the ‘Drivers’ tab at the top of ‘Print server properties’ window
4. Choose the printer you want to uninstall and click ‘Remove’
5. Choose 'Remove driver only'
6. The next screen will give a warning, letting you know that deleting the driver package will remove it from the system. Click ‘Yes’ to say that you are sure you want to do this.
If documents are stuck in the print spooler, you may see an error, cancel any documents pending in the print queue, or try restarting the print spooler, then try to remove the driver from ‘Print server properties’ again. If it still won’t remove the package, restarting the computer and the printer should resolve this ‘in use’ error and allow the driver to be removed.
After the driver is removed, open Start > All Programs > HP folder > Printer folder > HP Setup and Software (or the printer icon).
The Setup and software screen will open and you can click on Connect a new printer.
If the issue persists let me know and I will do what I can to help.

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.

HP Office Jet Pro 8600 all in one

I fax documents from word with my printer. Every once in a while, but more frequently as of late, the document will fax, shows send in the log, I hear the the fax completely send and hang up, but then it will fax it over and over, even though I only set it to fax one time. Only way then to stop it from sending is to turn off printer and then I either have to reboot my computer or log off to get it to clear. When computer comes back up, I turn printer back on and it is ready for use. It has done this since I bought it, but like I said seems more frequent.
It is an HP office jet pro 8600 all in one, running on Windows 8.1. It is hard wired, not running wirelesslym with desktop. Anybody have any clues as to what is causing this and how to fix it. It is so frustrating. Thanks.

Hi LFoskey,
Does the printer send multiple faxes when you fax directly from the printer, or only when you fax from Word?
You can check for a firmware update in cause the issue is being caused by the printer itself;
HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a Firmware
HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g_n Firmware (Plus and Premium models)
Please also try the HP Print and Scan Doctor, it can quickly resolve any issues including but not limited to;
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.
Click here to download and run the Print and Scan Doctor> www.hp.com/go/tools
Please post back and let me know if there are any symbols other than green check marks and what they are next to of course. The wrench is not always easy to spot as the wrench and the check mart are in the green circle.
If you see only green check marks ( ), the tool did not find any problems.
If you see green wrenches ( ), the utility identified an issue and corrected it automatically.
If you see yellow exclamation points ( ), the test failed and required user action, but the step was skipped.
If you see a red X ( ), follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the issue.
I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.

Mac to Office Jet Pro 8600 printer

I have a IMAC desk top connected to an Office Jet Pro 8600 running MAC OS 10.6.8. I cannot get the scanner to scan photo's to a specific size. I use the HP Utility but no matter what I try to do the scanned image only cooies from the front right corner of the scanner glass. How do I change the JPEG scanner size and how do I scan whatever size image I place on the glass?
This question was solved.

Hi @paul8588,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that you are trying to scan photos to a specific size with your HP Officejet 8600, and I am happy to help!
I would recommend the following:
Reset the printing system. Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system.
Verify and repair disk permissions. Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions.
What size of paper are you trying to scan on the glass?
If the above recommendations do not solve your issue, please see this guide. How to Scan: Mac OS X v10.6, and you will see some alternate scanning options without HP software.
Hope this helps!

Office Jet Pro 8600 - need to replace white plastic ADF strip

Documents scanned on Office jet Pro 8600 have a pale streak down the right third of the page that correlates with a notch in the white plastic ADF strip. There appears to be something broken from the strip at that point. Is this strip replaceable and is so, how does one acquire one?
Thanks,
Stryder98

Hello Stryder98,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you need to replace the white plastic ADF strip using the Officejet 8600. I would recommend contacting HP technical support for further assistance. Click here to find out: HP Worldwide Contact.

Wireless printing issue. Lonovo Think Pad v. Office jet pro 8600

I went through all 7 of the trouble shooting steps but still can't get my wireless printing to work with my Lonovo laptop T430 and my HP office jet Pro 8600 ..last resort was to join the forum so here I am. all connections appear to be on line and as they should be until I try to print a document. The print window tells me printer is offline but the printer network test tells me it passed all tests and is connected and ready. Using windows 7 operating system.

llbbsis, if everything passes my initial concern is that you might not be connected to the same network on your printer as your computer is connected to. So the first thing i would check is being sure that the SSID on both is the same and not something like "NetworkName" and "NetworkName -Guest."
Next, have you used the Print and Scan Doctor from HP? It is a good tool to diagnose and treat some of the smaller issues with printing:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c03286146
Check those two things first and get back with me, if you need further help I am more than willing to do whatever I can to get the issue at hand taken care of.
Have a great day!

Hp Office Jet Pro 8600 A910, suddenly can't send fax. Reveiving faxes are ok.

We can't send any fax, but we can still receive a fax. This happened suddenly without any changes (on device or our telephone line) When sending a fax it dials and gives a busy tone. After that we get a error sheet pointing out Error 388, communication error. Following things we did:- Tried sending fax on our other phone line to rule out broken phone cable/connections.- Called to phone and from phone to fax which worked.- Printed out T90 testsheet. All tests passed.- Tried faxing with ECM off or in other words turned off the error connection mode.- Tried faxing with lower connection speed setting.- Checked other settings to see if there was anything wrong, but all okay.- Powered off, disconnected power cable for at least 15 seconds. Is the fax broken or anything else we can try?

Hi , I see you have been troubleshooting an issue with your Officejet Pro 8600 no longer able to send faxes, and I think I may have found some more information for you. Can you specify your your exact printer model for me? In your post title you say it is an 'Office Jet Pro 8600 A910' but and A910 is an Officejet 8500A. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? Seems like an odd question, but the printer make a copy? It could be an issue with the scanner mechanism.
Is the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or is it in a surge protector or a power bar? We want to connect it to a wall outlet just so we can eliminate the power source as the root cause. See this document for more information about Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector (Note: This document is not limited to Laserjet printers.)
HP regularly releases firmware updates that may also correct the problem you are experiencing. You can click on this link to;Get Printer Updates for HP Officejet Pro 8600 (N911), Officejet 6600 (H711) and Officejet 6700 Premium (H711) e-All-in-One Printer SeriesGet Printer Updates for HP Officejet 6500A, and Officejet Pro 8500A e-All-in-One Printer Series Have you tried to run the Fax Test Report? It's usually located in the setup menu, under tools. The fax test report will let you know if it finds any problems and how to correct them. Once everything passes on the fax test report, you can Test Your HP Fax Machine with the HP Fax Test Service. I reviewed the error code you provided from the Interpreting Error Codes in Fax Communication Error or Fax History Reports document. Error 388: There is too much noise on the line for a valid connection between two fax machines to complete. The noise problem might go away over time. Retry the fax reception when telephone line conditions have improved. Call the telephone provider if line conditions fail to improve. Have you touched base with the phone company to make sure they have not changed anything on their end? Does this same error occur with every number you try to dial? You could see if anything in Fax Sending Fails Intermittently or Fails for Only One Recipient is helpful as well. Please let me know if these steps resolved your issue, or if there is anything else I can do to help. I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks,

Office Jet Pro 8600 hp cannot connect wirelessly to WPA2 Enterprise encrypted network

HP Office Jet Pro 8600 Premium all in one Printer Scanner CAN NOT connect to encrypted wireless network? Specifics: Wireless network uses WPA 2 Enterprise encryption without passphrase. ( mac filtering only ) Mac address of device is already entered into the wireless router list of devices allowed to connect. Wireless wizard reports ....unable to connect due to authentication failure. alternative instalation attempts ask for passphrase which the wireless network does not use at all. Has been a big issue preventing deployment of mobile wireless scanning and printing throughout the facility. WPA2 is clearly listed as supported wireless protocol. Please help. Several weeks of struggle with India did not resolve the issue. Thank You.

If your router supports dual band broadcasting 5Ghz and 2.4 Ghz, log into your router and look at the two wireless profile names. The names (SSID) should be changed so that they are different from each other for each band 5 and 2.4. Also if the SSID is the default SSID that ships with the router, change it to a unique name as a neighbor within range may have the same SSID. Rename to "my unique SSID" and connect the printer to the new network name "my unique SSID" as example. If you need further assistance, list the exact model of your router
