HP 8600 Officejet Pro keeps rebooting

THe printer is in a reboot cycle and never completes the boot process. Can't get to a menu, just reboots and starts over.

Hi @RodLH,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that your HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer keeps rebooting. I am happy to help!
I would suggest a hard reset, by going to this post, How to perform a Hard Reset, by @Rich1. It is important that the printer's power cable is plugged directly into the wall outlet, and not a surge protector! Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
If that does not resolve your issue, please call our phone support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Country-language selector.
Best of luck!

How do I print standard 6 3/4" standard size envelopes from an hp 8600 officejet pro printer?

How do I print 6 3/4" standard size envelopes from an hp 8600 officejet pro printer. This printer has this size on the tray and has this size listed in the printer set up on the printer, but the drop down boxes from my computer to set up the printer do not have this standard size listed. I keep getting messages on my printer that it is not set for the right size. I have a list of supported envelopes and their numbers for this printer but which one of these other numbers is the same as the 6 3/4" standard size envelope. I have an operating system of windows 7 with an older version of publisher. Everything else prints ok from publisher & the printer, just not the standard size envelopes of 6 3/4".
Please help!

Hi indy-girl,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are trying to print 6 3/4" envelopes from your HP Officejet Pro 8600, but keep getting an error 'printer that it is not set for the right size'. After taking a look at the Supported envelopes sizes, the 6 3/4 is not supported. See below:
I was able to take a look at the 8600, the only thing I am seeing listed on the paper tray is Legal/Letter, and the 4x6". I am not seeing the 6 3/4 size.
I hope this helps!
Thanks,

HP 8600 Officejet Pro stuck on layout setting of long-edge binding (duplex printing)

My HP 8600 Officejet Pro 8600 is stuck on a layout setting for printing of long-edge binding (duplex printing). It's conected to a mac running OSX 10.8.4 Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
From the application used to print click on File and the select Print. The Print window appears.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Click the blue triangle next to the printer name to see all available settings.
In the expanded Print window you will find next to Copies the checkbox for Two-Sided. Check the box.
NOTE: If the checkbox does not appear within the specific application print dialog, skip this step.
Click the lowest selection box listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
Select Layout from the drop-down menu.
6. Set the Two-Sided option as the required binding or select Off to disable it.
Click on Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset and perform the print job... the settings will remain default till another preset will be used.

Shlomi

HP 8600 Officejet Pro print light/dark control

Is there any way to darken the black print on my machine? The copy feature offers this feature but I can't find anything for printing purposes.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The only option to darken the text is to change the print quality to its highest setting. To do so, please follow the steps listed below.
In the software program you are trying to print from, click File, and then click Print . The Print dialog box will open.
Select your product from the Name drop-down menu, and then click Properties . The Properties dialog box will then open.
Click the Paper/Quality tab.
Under Quality Settings you will be able to increase the print quality.

8600 Officejet Pro fax redial

I have an 8600 Officejet Pro. Have changed settings in advanced fax setup so that busy redial is off and no answer redial is off, but the crazy thing is, it still redials. How can I stop this? Thanks for any advice.

Hi,
Has anyone responded to this? Any solutions?
I have pulled the power, tried turning it off in the fax wizard and the redials are continuous and driving me mad!
I've hit the "cancel fax" button hundreds of times and can't get to the "set-up" app before it reverts to dialing again.

Mac pro keeps rebooting

My Mac Pro 2.1 Keeps rebooting ramdomly. It seems to be more common when editing video.
Any ideas anybody?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the slow reply.
My Mac Pro 2.1 screens go black and instantly reboots, sometimes it keeps rebooting until i hold the power button. I have reset pram,smc,renewed permissions and checked hard discs.
I am booting from a drive with lion 10.7.3. It also happens when I am booted from another drive running Snow Leopard.
I have also removed 4 gig of the 8 gig of ram and tried different configs of ram.
I have also disconnected everything except the keyboard, mouse and 2 monitors.
It is driving me bonkers because I cannot trust the mac Pro and I often lose work because it suddenly reboots.
Any suggestions anyone.

8600 officejet pro wont shutoff bygreen button on front of machine unplugging doesnt work either

8600 wont shutoff

Good day to you, @TEJOSand welcome to the community!
I hope I can help you
I saw that your Officejet 8600 will not power off, and you've tried unplugging the machine.
My suggestion would be to try a firmware update.
You can try updating the firmware through the front of the printer if you can access the menus and if the printer is on a wireless network. Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates
If not, plug in a USB cable to your Windows 8.1 system and download this firmware update: HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a Firmware
Also, when you reset the printer, and have it unplugged for at least 30 seconds, try holding the power button down for a few seconds to drain any additional power inside of the printer. When plugging the printer back in, plug in the power directly to a power outlet to ensure the unit has full power.
If there is still any problems with powering the unit on or off, please call us!

I just purchased a HP 8600 OfficeJet Pro, connected it with an USB cable, not responding.

It is an HP OfficeJet Pro 8600,

What operating system? Did you change USB cables? Do not use a USB hub, plug the printer directly into your computer.

Problems using 8600 Officejet Pro

I used to be able to scan to an email address but when I try using one of my email addresses, it says it cannot connect to the secure server. So I went and deleted the profile from my outgoing email profiles and added it again and now it says that the secure connect failed. I checked my settings and everything is fine, what am I doing wrong?

Hello popskiutah,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see you are having issues with the profile settings from Scan to Email with the Officejet Pro 8600, which model of 8600 is yours, the N911a, N911g or the N911n?
Also, which Email client are you using, Gmail, MSN, etc? I have been noticing a lot of them are using a Two-Step Verification, check to see if your client is and disable it, if needed.
Lastly, have you tried with another Email address?
Let me know,

Glitch in scanner of 8600 officejet pro

I have an 8600 officejet printer, and after no problems for months, I am getting an error message that says it is unable to scan, copy, or fax. I have no idea what to do. I am not a techie, and this is a challenge.

Hi poemscaper,
I believe the printer is having a hardware malfunction, and you might be able to fix it by resetting the power. Please try the document below, if that does not work, you can contact HP support in North America at 1-800-474-6836 or find the local telephone number for your country here: http://welcome.hp.com/country/w1/en/support.html Please look for the category "Technical Support After you Buy"

Droid Pro keeps rebooting itself, what makes it do this?

Just got this Droid Pro and it is constantly turning on and off all the time, why?

Hello there Cnsoldsigns!
I want your Droid Pro to be a pro and stay on! This is definitely not a normal function of the device. You mentioned you just got the phone.
Was it an upgrade? Did you get it from a buddy? Perhaps it has some apps on it that are causing it to shut off. Check for any Task Killers, Antiviruses, or Battery Savers and uninstall them, then reboot!
Keep me updated so we can fix this together!
Thanks,

HP 8600 Officejet Pro

I have been having trouble lately getting the error that the printhead is missing and it also says there is a problem with the printer or ink system. It give the troubleshooting tip to remove and then put it back in and turn the machine off and then back on. I have done this multiple times without success, I also replaced all the cartridges which were replaced recently, and still no success. What do I need to do now? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Hello jttw,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see you have been attempting to clear an error on the Officejet 8600, either missing printhead or ink system failure. The steps on the printer front display provide a good base for troubleshooting, I have been able to locate the complete steps.
These HP documents: A 'Missing or Failed Printhead' Error Message Displays on the Printer after Installing a New Printhe... & A 'Printer Failure' Message That Might Include an '0x610000f6' or '0x61xxxxxx' Error Code Displays o... are your best chance at clearing the error.
I hope they help, reply back if you are in need of more help.

My 2014 Mac Pro keep rebooting

It halt when I was running Premiere Pro, pressed power button to switch off, unable to restart again.
Tried get in to single user mode ok and fsck and repair disk.
keep going to screen saying it restart because of a problem then the apple then restart

If it says the disk still has problems that could not be repaired, you should ignore the advice they give you. Instead, buy a new External drive with an enclosure to hold it. Install Mac OS X on the new drive. Then Mac OS X is working again and it will be much easier to rescue your files from the old drive.
If the drive is repaired, but does not boot, you can try to Re-Install on top of what is there without erasing. This will replace all parts of Mac OS X with known-good versions, and is INTENDED to not erase anything you created or Installed.
The most Prudent way to Erase and Install is to make TWO Backups (in case one goes bad) then erase the drive and install just as you described.

My macbook pro keeps rebooting. What is the problem?

Hi,
I have a macbook pro that I bought in August 2010. Performance has been awesome until this past month when I noticed it getting slower. This past weekend for the first time ever it would freeze and reboot itself. I took the action to clean up large files, unloaded some apps, etc. all things they say to speed up your mac in the youtube vids. Cleared up alot of space and it was moving faster for a day. Then this afternoon it froze again and rebooted, but never successfully rebooted and now is just rebooting constantly. I cannot even get to the log in screen anymore or turn it off completely....I am going to wait for the battery to die out, but what is the problem? What can I do to solve this? I downloaded the newest IOS X update this past saturday, thats when I think the rebooting started, but the computer was getting noticeably slower before that.
Thanks for the help, really dont know what I am doing here

Time to see about the PRAM battery.
By the way iOS and OS X are different systems.
iOS is the operating system for iPads, iPhones, and iPod touch.
Mac OS X is the operating system for Mac labelled computers.

Mac Pro Keeps Rebooting itself

Hello, I am trying to figure out what is wrong with a Mac Pro I have. It is 2.1, 3Ghz Quad Core. It will run for about 30 to 40 minutes then automatically reboot it self. I got it from someone else who told me about the problem, and I am trying to see if I can fix it. When they gave it too me it was already booted up with Leopard, and a bunch of other programs. It would stay on for about 30mins then cut off. I wiped the hardrive, so I could do a fresh install of Snow Leopard. It wiped fine, but when installing Snow Leopard it would get half way through and shut off.
I reset the ram, and even switched the ram out and the same problem. I read that it might be the power that I plug in to, and I have tried different outlets and the same thing. I am not sure what the problem is or what too do next. I did pull the ram out, and it ran fine for about two hours. Ofcourse there was nothing I could do without the ram in it, but it makes me think it is the ram, but I am not sure what else to do, as I have 32gigs of Ram, and I know not all the sticks are bad. Is it possible the tray that the ram is in, can go bad?
If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.

There are two things that I can think of that might make the Mac Pro suddenly shut down, then immediately restart.
1) Power cord. The Mac Pro standard power cord (if you are still using that cord) has a large square block of rubbery material around the computer end. This can make it more difficult than usual to fully seat the cord in the computer socket. A loose connection here could cause the behavior you describe, and would not leave a trace.
2) Overheating. This can also make a Mac Pro shut down suddenly. But in this case, i would expect that the shutdown reason would be in the log.
Regardless, there may be some logs of kernel panics or similar problems. Here is how to find them, then cut-and-paste a copy here:
