Bother the printer and computer are connected to the same network yet, it keeps saying no printers detected on mireless network. PLEASE HELP!!! in the midst of finals and this is really cramping my style.

Hi CL1245,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you are trying to connect your HP Officejet 8600 to your Mac, with a wireless connection.
Please take a look through this guide. Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer - N911a: Scan & Copy in color results in full cyan page

Product Name: HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer - N911a
OS: Windows 8.1 64 bit
I noticed the problem: After I scanned a medical card that was 80% cyan.
Problem: The problem persists when scanning/copying using the ADF or using the scanner glass bed.
Only occurs during color scanning or copying. I can print a file from my laptop or home pc with no issues, as long as the color file did NOT come from my printer.
If I had scanned the small O'Riley's note in black & white there would have been no streaking.
I have reset, used the HPP Dr., cleaned the glass, etc, & followed Solutions 1 - 3 http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c02881567&lc=en&product=4323659&tmp...
I sincerely appreciate your assistance.

Hi @Veritasabt,
I see that you are having issues scanning and copying in color from the glass and the ADF. Thank you for providing the screen shot. I can help you out today.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
Update the printer's firmware. HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a Firmware.
Try scanning again to see if you have the same results.
Please check your private messages for additional steps to try.

Have a nice weekend!

HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer - N911a printer assistant

Hi!
So, I replaced an HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Plus with an HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer - N911. Subsequently the HP Printer Assistant desktop shortcut disappeared from my computer -- and apparently from the computer entirely because it eludes searches as well. So multiple times (like, 20 times) I have removed and reinstalled the printer on this computer because sometimes -- not every time, infuriatingly -- immediately after installing the printer from the online driver, the Printer Assistant opens -- but there doesn't appear to be a way create a desktop shortcut for it. As soon as I close it, it's gone forever, and it's just not practical to have the Printer Assistant open all the time. The next time I want to scan something wirelessly, I have to go through the process again. It's driving me insane.
Is there any way to download just the HP printer assistant software, or some sneaky way to create a shortcut for it? It's the only efficient way for me to interact with the printer for scanning (the bulk of the printer's usefulness) at my home office, and if I cannot get it to work consistently, this will be the last HP product I buy.
Thanks in advance!

Cant WiFi connect HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer to internet

I cant WiFi connect HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer to internet... at least I think that is the problem. I have followed all the instructions on HP Print and Scan Doctor as well as Troubleshoot HP Installation Failure. My router is running fine for everything else and I have entered the static address for the printer into the router. It appears that my printer believes it is connected to my WiFi (Ihave WPS it multiple times), but when I type it's IP address into my IE nothing shows up. My router doesn't appear to see the printer either. I have the latest driver installed on my computer. I suspect this may be a router issue: new router Asus Double 450 Mbps N Router (Dual band - but it appears my router is using the 2.4Hz band to communicate with WPS). Windows 7 64.
Any help is appreciated!

Hello NRHII,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're unable to connect the Officejet 8600 over a wireless connection. I will do my best to assist you! I would recommend power cycling the router, printer and computer:
1) Turn off your printer
2) Disconnect the power cord from the back of the router
3) Restart your computer
4) Wait less than 60 seconds, plug the power cord back into the router
5) Turn your printer back on, wait for the computer to turn on
Is the wireless light blinking on your printer? If so, please reconnect the wireless on your printer by using the wireless setup wizard: (This information is stated here.)
On the printer touch screen, touch the Right Arrow ( ) to display the second navigation screen.
Touch the Setup icon ( ).
Touch Network , touch Wireless Setup Wizard , and then touch Continue . The printer searches for available networks.
Touch the name of your network, and then touch OK .
If prompted, enter the network password, and then touch OK . The printer connects to the network.
Also, as I was typing this post TreeFrog posted some great information to follow.
Have you followed this entire HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection? If not, follow this document. Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.
Have a great day!

That's a difficult one but I'd always go for HP as they make so many excellent models that you'll always be able to buy the cartridges from almost anyone. Theyre darn good printer too. I have four in the office here and one of them is a very neat flatbed with exceptionally high tonal qualities. One of their cheaper models is the HP 5520 A4 inkjet all-in-one - CMYK. Good value at £70 and 4800 x 1200 DPI.

HP Office Pro 8600 e all in one, Printer Assistant has disappeared

I am running Windows 7, Office Pro 8600 e- all in one
Out of the blue both laptops in the house lost priner assistant and all its functions (fax to folder, etc).
Windows has had a few updates within the last few weeks so I can only assume it stems from there.
For both laptops I have uninstalled and reinstalled both from the CD and from the most current driver software from the hp website with no success.
I have run HP print and scan doctor with no success.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated...I am at a loss.

Hi,
From the start menu click on Programs and select HP, next select the HP Officejet Pro 8600 folder and follow the Uninstall.
Next download and install the following software, do not use any older software from the CD or a software you may saved from the HP site in the past as the issue will remain while any previous software being used:

Once you are done, reboot your PC and click the HP Officejet Pro 8600 icon, located on your desktop.

I just purchased a new HP OFFICEJET PRO 8600 e-ALL-in-one printer

I just bought a new printer: HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-one, Product #: CM749A#B1H and HP 950Black officejet ink cartridge.
I have 5 564XL ink cartridges I bought from HP, unused, unopen: 2 black, expire Aug 2015
1 cyan, exprie July 2015
1 Magenta, expire June 2015
1 Yellow Jaune, expire July 2015
Since those cartridges are not suitable for my new printer, how do I return nd get refund?

You'll need to contact HP Phone Support about this. Failing that, another option would be to sell them on eBay.

I am unable to scan using the hp office jet pro 8500 wireless all in one printer from an I-MAC

I have a new I-MAC OS Lion computer and an older HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless all-in-one printer, scanner, fax, photo. I cannot scan, though I can print and I can fax. The error message says I must be connected to the network, and yet I am connected. The only diagnostic tool available is for MS systems only. Help???

Hi,
Make sure to use any scan method available for Lion.
If you have the HP Scan application installed, be aware that the used software version is not intended for Lion.
Please follow the steps below to find what scan methods may be used on the OS:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01910186&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=3752459
If there is still any problem while trying to scan, also make sure to install the latest HP Printer Driver 2.9 by clicking the Apple icon and then Software Update.

Installing software for my HP psc 1210 all-in-one printer on to my Mac?

I have downloaded new software and drivers for my all-in-one printer. I am running OS X 10.5.2 on a 20" 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. The computer recognises that a printer is present and I can print with no problems. The problem that I'm having is with the scanner function. I don't think that the HP software is registering that there is a printer present. When I go into the HP setup assistant no printer comes up in the selection window. When I go into Printer & Fax via system preferences the HP psc 1210 series comes up as the default printer. I've had this problems before but cannot remember how I rectified it. I'm sure it got something to do with erasing the driver's off the computer and starting over again. Can anyone please help me or point me in the right direction. Thanks

Scanning with HP Officejet 6500 Wireless All-in-One Printer - E709n using Windows 7 Pro editition

I have had this printer for many years and it was fully operational only for the first two years of its link to my computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software many times with no success. The Printer/Scan doctor does not solve the problem and gives an error HP Twain Scan. The HP Scan Flow Manager also says that software components are missing The printer works fine but the scanner in the solution center always responds with a error code saying installation is incomplete, "reinstall HP Photosmart software that came with the device and try scanning again" . The extended error information is 4,[2,0,80040154), (0,0,0),(3,56,0)] Another computer, my wife's laptop, running Windows 8 was operational until the end of May 2015, and she is also getting this error code with her computer. This has got to be the most annoying all-in-one I have ever used. I have a Canon all in one at work that I have used with the laptop and the all operating features are mindless...it just works. HP software must have compatibility issues either related to operating systems updates or security software. My computer uses AVG, the laptop uses McAffee and beither scanner operates with this printer. I need to get this scanner operational!

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that you cannot scan with your HP Officejet 6500 wireless printer on Windows 7 and 8. I am happy to look into this issue for you! Some questions for you: Are you able to make copies with the printer from the scanner glass? Loading and Copying 216 x 279 mm (8.5 x 11 inch) Plain Paper. (This way we can verify that the hardware is functional.)Do you see any error messages on the printer's display screen, or blinking lights? In the meantime, please take a look through this scanning guide, An 'HP Cue Scanning Flow component has encountered a problem and needs to be closed' Error Displays for HP Deskjet, Officejet, and Photosmart All-in-Ones.

Officejet pro 8600 e all in one printer N911a

For printing settings I see that there are front-to-back or back-to-front settings. What is the difference? Online and hard copy instructions do not address this. I was hoping to set the printer that on 2-sided copies the copy will emerge from the printer first (front) side up. I tried with the same copy using both settings. The copy always came up with second (back) side up.

Hey syra,
If you are printing double sided or duplex printing from the Officejet 8600, then the end output will always be with the backside facing in the upward position. This is due to the printer producing the front, then backside of the document.
The Front to Back or Back to Front works in a different way. If you are printing a 5 page document, then the option will change the printout order as follows:
Front to Back: Page 1 will be on the bottom of the output stack and page 5 on the top
Back to Front: Page 5 will be on the bottom of the output stack and page 1 on the top
Hope this helps clarify,
Jason

Unable to copy a document using both the automatic feed or the lift option.

Welcome to the forums Doc1949
I understand you are unable to make copies from the ADF and the flatbed. If this is not correct, please let me know. I would like to know if you are seeing any error messages, or if the printer is not feeding the paper through the ADF. Please write me back with more specific information so I can better research this for you!

Product Name: HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-all-in-one Printer-N911a on Windows 7 (32bit) OS.

My HP printer is about 8 months old and it has developed a display fault which is blurred or almost blank display. The characters and icons are just visible and can be seen very hardly when the panel is moved up and down for polarizing. I tried power on and off, removing the power cable and changing it to the wall power sockets as advised by HP Web support, but it didn’t solve the issue.
How to solve this fault of blurred and almost blank display? Is this hardware or software problem?

Hi HP3S,
YOu have done exactly what I would have suggested. The issue you have described, blurred or almost blank display, is certainly a hardware issue, not software related.
I would recommend you call HP. Your printer would have a 1 year manufacture warranty so I suspect from what you have said that it is still in warranty. The number to call HP is 1-800-474-6836 for Canada and US, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
