HP 8600 Plus - Printer is on wifi but not visible/usable for any computers on the same network

Hello, 
I am on windows 7 x64 and I have an HP 8600 Plus. This printer has been working fine since we bought it but suddently it does not show up on the network. It started when my wife would try to print and the HP software says it cant connect to the printer. I tried resetting everything, including the router. I restored factory settings on the printer as well, still no luck. 
I am able to connect the printer to wifi. The indicator shows that it is connected and ready. It has no errors there. It has an IP address and all seems well. I have several other computers on the same wifi network and none of them can SEE the printer. It does not show up in network devices and I am not able to install it using the HP wizard software (it gets stuck looking for the printer, then asks for a manual IP address and it still fails)
Please help, it worked fine for a few months and suddenly it is 100% not working!

Anyone out there ever seen anything like this before? I searched the forums pretty heavily and I see similar issues but none quite like mine.
I have also tried the Print and Scan Doctor. Again, since the software cant find the printer on the network it won't connect and won't resolve any problems. It tells me to make sure the printer has a wifi connection and that the blue light is on and the indicator is showing it is connected, all of which are true.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus prints with some programs, but not others.

    I have a new Officejet Pro 8600 Plus connected with an Apple Airport Extreme.  My iPad and Dell will print without problems.  My MacBookPro using OS 10.6.8 will print iPhoto and Excell when using Parallels.  It will not print using Appleworks or Office for the Mac.  The Mac recognizes the printer and will print the test page.  When told to print in Appleworks, the computer says it is printing, but nothing is happening.

    Hello homeonthefarm,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand you are able to print from an iPad and Dell PC with the Officejet 8600, but unable to from your Mac 10.6.8. Since it will print from the other sources it would appear to me that the printer software is not installed correctly on the Mac.
    Try uninstalling the printer software, when you are running the HP Uninstaller, just prior to clicking uninstall I would like you to hold down the Control, Option & Command button then click uninstall.
    When ready to install the printer, HP Officejet Pro Full Feature Software and Driver - Mac OS X 10.6, OS X 10.7, OS X 10.8.
    I hope this suggestion helps.

  • Removing email accounts on one computer but not wanting to remove on all computers on the same network.

    I have a MacPro desktop and a Macbook Pro.  I would like to remove my apple email account from the Macbook Pro but do not want to take the chance of losing the same account on my MacPro desktop.  They use the same internet connection and network.  Can I just remove the apple email account on the Macbook Pro?  Both computers are using OSX 10.9.5.

    I'm assuming the account is IMAP. You can safely remove any IMAP account and all data will be left on the server for other devices.
    When you check to disable, the account will simply gray out and no longer connect.

  • I can't "ping" but I see the computers in the same network while trying RDA server. What I am doing wrong?

    Hi, I would like to know if anyone can help me. It's probably easy but.... The thing is that I have a little network with 5 computers. The network is working perfectly, I mean I can "see" whole the network from all the computers and I can share files and so on. My surprise is that I have tried to make a "ping" between all of them and I didn't recive any answer. I am trying to install the Remote Device Access Server to share a DAQ device in all the network. Oviously when I try to see my DAQ device from the "client" computer appears an error message    <<No system found at adress...>>. Any idea...?
    Thanks.
    d.

    Firewall settings?
    Also, about PING, the PING service may be down

  • Airport Express connected to WiFi but not visible on iPad

    I have set up the airport express and it is connected wirelessly to my new BT HomeHub (green light on Airport Express).  However, I cannot see it in the choices (I have Apple TV also) so I cannot play my music through my stereo via Airport Express which is how I used to do it with the Sky router.  Am I missing something obvious here?

    OK - Just started from scrath again - and it all seems to be working

  • My husband and I share an itunes account and would like to share SOME music with our kid as well but NOT all, can we do that on the same account?

    Or do we have to set up a seperate account for her?  I would like to be able to share 'certain' songs with her but restrict others without having to 'check' and 'uncheck' songs individually every time we try to synch.  Is there a way to do this or not?  Also, FYI she has not synched to our library at ALL just yet since I am trying to figure out a way for this to work easily, and for her to be able to purchase songs with her gift card....but my husband and I do not want those songs to synch to our ipod.  Only the songs that we are going to purchase.  Does that make sense??:)
    THANKS!!

    Okay, so I just got around to 'trying' to create and Apple ID for my daughter for her ipod as suggested above BUT I accidentally used her b-day and of course she is not old enough!!!  So then I got off the internet etc and tried to create an apple ID for her using my b-day and it still would NOT let me, saying that I do not meet the minimum age reqirements!:(  I am SO frusterated right now...it is not like I was going to let her have any control over what she purchases anyways, seeing as how she is 7yr. and we are generally strict about what she listens to.  Is there any way that I can do this for her?
    Thanks!

  • Showtime freezes in ATV2 iphone 5s, but works on all non apple devices on the same network

    I am watching showtime on AppleTV 2 and most shows freezes about 5 times per show the exact same place every time. I tested with my iphone 5s and it is doing the same thing. for example 46sec into Homeland S2E3 freezes every time. Any other non-apple device works fine with no issues. Netflix and HBO works great on all devices including the AppleTV and iphone.
    I have 101mbit bandwidth with 12ms latency and Airport Extreme throughout the house.
    Any ideas?

    See Showtime anytime freezes for a little more about this. I think it is a problem at Showtime's end that we users can't do anything about.
    FWIW, it also seems to affect people using something other than Apple TV's. A web search on "showtime anytime freezes" turned up a lot of hits complaining about this & other issues with the service.

  • HT4356 I have an air-print enabled printer: HP Premium e-all-in-one C310.  Can't print from iPad iOS6.  They're on the same network, but have different IP addresses.  On the iPad it's 192.16.1.126 and on my printer it's 192.168.1.133.  Can I match them? H

    I can't print from my iPad2 to my air-print enabled printer (HP Premium e-all-in-one C310).  They're on the same network, but have differed IP addresses!  The iPad IP is 192-168-1.126 and the printer is 192-168.1.133.  That's the only difference I can see.  Is there a way to fix this?

    fyi:
    you put periods between the numbers.
    Each device needs a unique number.
    for the 192.168.1 the right must number should vary.  192.168.1.x
    the numbers you have look ok.
    Power off all devices: wifi router, printer, ipad.. wait 10 minutes.  poweron router ... wait power on printer wait then power on ipad.
    cross fingers.

    you can read here about airprint

    if the printer don't support that then you need to find a printing app in app store
    which will act the role as printer driver for the device to speak with the printer

  • My HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer will not recognize my wireless router passwrd

    My printer was working fine but when I turned it on today it wouldn't connect to my wireless router. I try inputing the correct password and the printer gives me this message......"the WPA security passphrase configured on your HP printer does not match your wireless router setting" .
    I have entered the password several times and I know what I have entered is correct

    Hi @Southglen,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer will not recognize your wireless router password. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
    I would recommend to go through this guide, How to Find the WEP or WPA Key or Password for Your Wireless Network, just to double-check your wireless password, in case it might have changed.
    I would also suggest a hard reset, by going to this post How to perform a Hard Reset, by @Rich1.
    After those two steps, I would suggest a firmware update, Getting Printer Updates for HP Officejet Pro 8600 (N911), Officejet 6600 (H711) and Officejet 6700 P....
    Let's start with these steps, and we will go from there!

  • My HP Officejet pro 8600 plus printer is locked

    My HP Officejet pro 8600 plus printer is locked and is offline how do I unlock it because I'm in big trouble.

    I had the same problem, HP kept telling me it was my wireless network. But I had paddle locks on my wireless on the printer it self. We finally figured it out.  I will try to explain as best that I can. If your looking at the printer, down to the left of the window, press several times just outside the printer window, until it wakes up.  Scoll with arrow keys > to the right until you come to the Enable /unenable the wireless. Press up/down arrows to come to the Enable window and reset it from there.  I hope I explained this wwell enough to do it on your own. Just to let you know when you are pushing to the left of the window quickly to get it started, you are not pushing any visable button, just keep pushing and will open up in the window.  Good Luck

    What I mean by background is usually I just click the terminal shortcut and start typing.  Now I have to click in the window first.  This also happens with the file manager shortcut.  This is a regression although I'm not sure what update caused it.
