Unable to load HP 8600 printer driver on laptop

Hi Folks,
Just installed a new HP Officejet 8600 printer into my home network. The network consists of 4 PC’s, two desktops and two laptops…all are running XP SP3 with the latest updates. The HP printer and one of the desktops are connected by Ethernet to a wireless router. The other desktop and both laptops are connected wirelessly via 802.11. Installation of the printer driver was successful with both desktops and one of the laptops. The other laptop, a Dell Latitude D520, fails on the final step of the installation process, after selecting the printer name following its detection on the network. Avast! Internet Security and Malwarebytes run on all the machines and are disabled, along with Windows firewall, during the install process. The following dialog is displayed:
“Unsuccessful Network Installation – The printer was unable to be installed over the network.”
No other error information is provided. I’ve tried installing from the product CD (which is up to date) as well as the driver software downloaded from the HP support site, rebooting multiple times. I also downloaded the recommended HP troubleshooting tool (HP Installation Failure – Unknown Device) and ran through the process a couple of times without success. All of the machines, including the D520 laptop, can see each other as well as the HP printer. There are no network issues I’m aware of.
I’ve exhausted what little expertise I have in this area. If anyone out there can think of a possible solution or provide some suggestions, I’d sure appreciate it. Thanks much.

Hello marconi10. Welcome to the HP Forums. I understand you are unable to install your printer on one computer, over a wireless connection. I'm going to suggest a very simple workaround, which if it works, will remove any complicated troubleshooting that would be necessary:
Please try installing the printer with a USB connection. If this does not work, you know that there is an issue occurring with the computer.
If this does work, the printer will be successfully installed. At that point, you can change the connection type from USB to wireless. For more information on how to do this, please reference this HP document: Convert from a USB connected printer to wireless
If the printer will still not connect wireless, this will point out a computer issue. For additional information and troubleshooting, relating to the inability of installing the printer over a wireless network, please reference this HP document: 'Unable to Find Printer' Error Message Displays on the Computer During Wireless Network Installation
Please respond with the results of your troubleshooting. I'm only here to help!

Can't Connect HP Pavilion Wirelessly to HP 8600 Printer

Background: I have Verizon Internet service via a ACTIONTEC M1424WR Rev. I wireless server. I successfully connected a HP OfficeJet PRO 8600 all-in-one Printer N911a to the server with contact ID 192.168.1.5. The printer works for several PCs that are in use at my house. I have a HP pavilion g7 1338dx notebook PC running Microsoft WIN 7 Home Premimum (64 bit) and wanted to connect it to the printer.
I loaded HP Office Jet Pro 8600 series disk version 28.8 on the pavilion and was unable to connect to the printer. The software is unable to find the wireless printer either while the software is loading or when I give it the ID address directly.
However, the pavilion accesses the Internet wirelessly and if I type in the ID address is able to directly access the printer and print a test page. I have tried all of the suggestions that the software has given me with no success.
Comments?

Hi there @gwc2gwc2
I read about how the printer is not being detected when you run through the installation. I have a guide that should help you through the setup and hopefully get the printer to be recognized.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 - Print Preview is not available

I have a new HP Officejet Pro 8600 AIO printer that I purchased last week. I hooked it up to print in a network environment. I have thee window xp systems and three windows 7 systems printing to it with no issues.I am very happy with it. Yesterday my wife told me that when she printed she missed the print preview that our former printer had. I thought I would easily get into the HP 8600 printer program and setup the print preview option. To my surprise after checking in numerous areas and online, I found out that it looks like the option has been left out or not provided for the printer by HP. I realize the MS Office and many other programs have their own print preview however when being online with Google Chrome or Internet Explorer, you quickly realize that the option to select the pages you want to print and not print could save alot of wasted paper and ink. Someone please tell me that a print preview software option is in the works for this otherwise great printer! I can not imagine leaving this out of the printing software package provided.

Since HP isn't answering me on the 'Print Preview' being available soon or which HP printers software actally HAVE the 'print preview' function enabled... I did some searching and I found a partial answer to the 'print preview' delema. The web site http://www.obviousidea.com/windows-software/greencloud-printer/
has a free program called GreenCloudPrinter which, in a nut shell, will install a printer? called GreenCloud which set itself up as the default printer and any file that is sent to the printer gets directed to the GreenCloud device which will then bring up a 'print preview' screen with options to remove blank pages and or print or not print the preview! And a lot of other functions too. Works great and it's free. You do have to register it and a registration code is emailed to you to unlock the program. I hope that helps you out... worked for me.

Margins on print copies from HP Officejet Pro 8600 Printer are not aligned with original document

My HP Office ject Pro 8600 Printer is not printing the same margins as my original document. The left margin on the print copy is 3/4" too far to the right. The margin on the right is too far right and the text is being printed off the page! The problem seemed to start when I loaded Avery Labels to print. I run a non-profit and need to make copies asap for a sponsorship letter for a fundraising event.

HP K 8600 printer 12x18" paper size

How can I print on 12"x18" paper on my K 8600 printer?

You may have better luck asking for a printer that can scan 12x18 on the Enterprise Business Support Forums. This forum is more for small to medium businesses and a printer with those capabilities are handled by a different department. I tried to research the answer for you and found a link here but without some more information, I will have a hard time finding the best answer to this question. I hope this helps!

8600 printer and 2 networks

We have an 8600 printer at work. It works just fine. What I cannot do is reach it wirelessly. We have a standard office network, which my laptop (running XP) logs onto just fine, and the printer's network is visible as an available general network. But when I install the printer on my laptop, it will not show the printer network. Is this an XP issue?

Please explain in detail your 'networks'. Need IP's of everything and how everything is connected.

Printing Issues with HP OfficeJet 100 and Windows 8.1

We use HP OfficeJet 100 mobile printers and have a printing issue.When we print the printer acts as if it is going to print and then prints one blank page.Printer will not print even though it is showing as default printer.Printer will just stop printing in the middle of a document, even in the middle of printing out a page. We are printing via the USB cableWe are using Windows 8.1We are connecting to laptopsWe have been using the HP mobile range of printers since 2004 and have only experienced these issues since we moved the laptops onto Windows 8/8.1 We have:Uninstalled and reinstalled the printer drivers – this fixed this issue for a short while and then it reappeared againCalled HP support and they directed us to the driver support page which had the latest print drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers with them on the phone. This initially fixed the problem and then it returned a few days laterAfter trawling the support forums found directions to change the print processor to “WinPrint” – No effect as the processor was already on this settingDownloaded the HP diagnostic tool – HP Print and Scan Doctor – didn’t fix anything Any further help would be much appreciated.

Hello there Lawrence, Welcome to the Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience
I noticed your post about the troubles you are running into when you attempt to install your OJ 6100 printer on your Windows 8.1 laptop. I read all of your attempts and seen you have tried several methods to try and get the installation to complete successfully.
I would like to make some suggestions that may help. Let me know how it goes!
1. Check that Internet Explorer pop-up blockers are turned off before downloading the installer
Internet Explorer Pop-up Blocker: How do I turn off Pop-up Blocker?
Try to install
2. If you're running McAfee Live Safe or any other firewall, please temporarily disable the "real time scanning".
How to disable realtime scans
Try the install
3. Go to the start screen (you may also press the windows key + R to open the run box) and type %WINDIR% this should show the windows folder.
Click on the folder and scroll until you see files. Look for a filed named "HPWINS*.DAT" (the * is for a number that varies) remove this file and try the installation.
Try the install
Enjoy your Monday!

HP ENVY 100 D410 Printing issues...

I have an HP ENVY 100 that has recently started having printing issues. We recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and had no problems in the upgrade nor have we had any other software that we've changed. The problem seems to be somewhat random and the results are always the same. When commanded to print the printer acts as if it is running out of ink and then distorts the fonts creating vertical lines on the page and skipping rows creating what almost looks like a bar code. It's most peculiar and the only way I can find to solve the issue is to completely restart both my system and the printer. Thinking that I had a driver issue on my Mac I used the utility on the printer to update drivers and none were found. To insure that the problems wasn't isolated to just my machine I tried our laptop as well and it seems to have the same problem. Has anyone had a similar problem?

Hi Talon,
That more liekly related to the software indeed, I would suggest trying the following steps:
Reset the printing system as listed below:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c01371980
Open the Applications folder, then Hewlett-Packard and then open the Device Utilities folder, launch the HP Setup Asisistant and follow the steps to reconfigure the device.
If there is no Hewlett-Packard folder simply re-add the printer by clicking the plus button under Print & Scan.
Now try printing and follow for any difference.
If the same persists uninstall any HP Software by following the HP Uninstaller under the Hewlett-Packard folder.
If there is no Hewlett-Packard folder follow the steps listed under Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8 > I used Apple Software Updates to install the product software below:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02440673&tmp_task=useCatego ry&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&product=5157536#N1305
Download and isntall the latest Lion Software below:

Once completing the installation click the Apple icon and install any available Software Update.

New airport extreme and printer issues

OK here is the deal
I have the new airport and a hp psc 750 printer. I have a new macbook which can not print on this printer. It will recognize it thru bonjour but will not install the driver - the odd thing is that I have a pc connected directly and a windows based wireless laptop which both are able to print via this airport. I also have an external hard drive that is connected to the airport. All of the computers are able access this drive. So all appears in order except for the macbook-printer issue. I contacted tech support and they claimed driver issue. Anyone have any ideas - I have updated the most recent drivers for this computer and I was able to install this printer via a usb connection. Thanks

There have been a few posts about issues with HP printers working or not working as the case may be through the extreme. I can't remember what they say, but a search for HP in this forum may well help you.
Sorry to be so vague, just thought it might be a start for you.

Printing issue

I just replaced my b/w cartridge which was working for about 10 copies and now trying to print a colored copy and while the color print is fine, the black ink is coming out blurry/smudged. The screen indicates "Print cartridge problem (Black) Refer to device documntatnion to troubleshoot" I took out the cartridge, shook it, put it back in - no luck - help! Thanks
