HP Office Jet Pro 8600 Premium & No Print Preview

Can anyone tell me if there is a way I can get a print preview to give me a chance to abandon a print job before the printer may go ahead & waste a good amount of paper & time.

You're going to have to access your routers admin pages and check the DHCP address range.  This is the 'automatic' IP that it hands out to your devices.   IP for your router are typically 192.168.1.2 thru .254.  192.168.1.1 is typically reserved for the router itself.   Set the DHCP range to 192.168.1.100 thru .254.  This now leaves static IP's 192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99.   Set the printer to something like 192.168.1.10.
Now change the wireless channel in the router to channel 1.  Save settings.   Now try.

  • Office Jet Pro 8600 Premium

    Our Office Jet Pro 8600 Premium is suddenly experiencing some kind of problem when printing wirelessly.  We have had this printer for some time and we exclusively print via the wireless network.  We have never had this problem before.  The wireless netwrok has no issues as far as we can tell.  All computers and phones are able to use the wireless network to connect to the internet, etc.  All devices are unable to print to the printer. Devices are mostly Apple products, including the Airport Time Capsule that creates the wireless network, but also some Android phones. Everything seems to be OK - the Network screen on the printer's Set Up Menue says it is connected on the wireless network and it says the signal strength is full, and, the computers on the network in fact see the printer on the network - it is possible to discover the printer when looking for it and the computer is able to accurately read the ink supply levels.  On the computers, the Print Que dialog box says "The printer is not connected" and "Ready on server - Unable to locate printer" when sending a document to print.  There is a small blue light next to the Wireless Icon on the printer and that is not lit - I think it has been lit in the past.  We have stepped through the printer wizard to reintroduce the printer to the wireless network.  We have also deleted the printer from the computer's printer list and added the printer anew.  Interestingly, when doing these last two fixes, the printer sometimes connects for a short time and it is possible to succesfully print a document, then it goes back to unsuccessful.  Sadly, this is not the only problem we have had with this printer and HP's products don't seem to be at the same performance level as in the past.  

    Hello @OPMike,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you're not able to print wirelessly from your computers or devices to your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium e-All-in-One. I would like to assist you today with resolving this connectivity issue. Thank you for including the troubleshooting you have completed prior to reaching out for support. To be honest, because your printer is 'connecting' to the network after running the Wireless Setup Wizard, even if the connection appears to be brief it is proving that the network card within your printer is functioning. Rather, I believe this issue lies with your router. There is a chance that an update may have went through on the network that is now blocking your printer from access. Printers are affected differently than computers or devices on the network as printers require two-way communication. Can I please have you follow the steps below to resolve this connectivity issue.
    How to Properly Powercycle a Network:
    First, unplug the power cable to your Router
    Once your Router is unplugged, turn off your printer
    Next, shut down your computer and devices
    After 30 seconds to 1 minute, plug your Router back in
    Next, turn on your printer
    Turn on the computers  and devices
    After a minute or so your internet connection should return. Please check on your computer and ensure that you are able to browse to websites again before proceeding. Once your internet is up and running try to print wirelessly to your printer.
    Please respond to this post with the result of powercycling your network. I look forward to hearing from you!

  • 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.

  • I only want my HP Office Jet Pro 8600 Plus to print in black and white

    I have an HP Office Jet Pro 8600 plus and I only need it to print out word documents and do not need color. For some reason the printer requires me to refill my yellow ink in order for me to print a document in greyscale. How can I change the settings so this doesn't occur?

  • HP Office Jet Pro 8600 will not print or scan on wireless network

    After set up with windows 7 lap top all went well. Then after several months It would not print wirelessly. A tech pro said I needed a new modem did that but got same results. Messages pop up saying "cannot find printer" or "printer not availale" If I turn the printer off then back on most of the time it will print. If I do not turn the printer off then on - several hours later it will start printing. Also it will not scan. An icon says "scan to computer is currently not available" Any and all suggestioons would be greatly appreciated. Keep in mind I am not a computer wizzard. Thanks

    You're going to have to access your routers admin pages and check the DHCP address range.  This is the 'automatic' IP that it hands out to your devices.   IP for your router are typically 192.168.1.2 thru .254.  192.168.1.1 is typically reserved for the router itself.   Set the DHCP range to 192.168.1.100 thru .254.  This now leaves static IP's 192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99.   Set the printer to something like 192.168.1.10.
    Now change the wireless channel in the router to channel 1.  Save settings.   Now try.

  • My HP Office jet pro 8600 premier is printing very slowly, any ideas?

    All of a sudden my printer is taking forever to pring anything..just keeps saying printing..any ideas?

    How is the printer connected to your computer (network, USB, etc.)?
    Does this happen with specific programs or all programs?
    When did this start happening (how long ago, any specific changes like cartridges, etc.)?
    I have included a general slow printing guide from HP.  I recommend following all steps except for the ones that do not apply.  For example, if it is wireless then you would ignore any USB or Ethernet steps.
    EDIT
    I noticed PrintDoc has a solution that works fairly often if is connected over a network here.

  • 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

  • HP Office Jet Pro 8600 Plus 910 n printer driver does not install on a windows server 2008R2 OS

    I recently had a new server installed, a Proliant with a Windows Server 2008R2 operating system. I now just discovered that my All in One Office Jet Pro 8600 Plus A 910 will not install on the Windows Server 2008 R2, ïncompatible operating system. Does anybody have a workaround or solution?

    Hello dawnp,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with installing the printer on to your Windows 7 computer.
    I suggest that we start off by running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.  If the Doctor fails, please let me know where it failed as well as any error codes you may see.
    Write me back when you have time and I will be happy to help.

  • 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 - wireless printing problem

    I am having difficulty printing wirelessly from my iMac to my HP office jet pro 8600. Sometimes it will print, often after waiting hours. But quite often it does print and when I click on the printer icon there is a message that states: "Ready on Server. The printer is not responding. I have no problem or delay in printing from my iPad or iPhone. Tried turning the printer on and off. 

    when you set it up with your wireless router did you let the printer detect the connection. If so check the wireless channel the router is set to. I changed mine and wham, now it prints as soon as my finger hits the mouse button. Hope this helps.

    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!
