Hp officejet pro 8600 all in one prints but won't scan

I have recently moved house and changed my wireless router from BT to Virgin.
I am running OS X 10.9.5
I am able to print from my mac without issue, however, it has stopped scanning. I have managed to get it to work twice on isolated instances but it won't work consistently.
I have unistalled the software and reinstalled via the HP download page but when I open HP Scan and click scan it asks me to choose which scanner - mine is selected, it then says preparing to scan and it does that for ages until it says it can't get a connection.
My printe r is a HP Officejet Pro 8600 All-in-one N911g - I am not bothered that much about scanning from the printer to the computer (I have tried to enable this option and it won't let me) I just want to be able to open HP Scan and press scan and it scan on my computer.
Any advice appreciated - thank you

Hi there @Steph390 , welcome to the forums!
I have some suggestions for you to hopefully correct the scanning issue you are having. Please feel free to reply back and let me know the results!
1. Try power cycling the network devices:
Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer.
2. Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
3. Repair disk permissions
4. Restart your computer.
5. Re-add the printer
Once the printer is connected on the network, follow these steps to maintain the wireless connection, normally a static IP will help out quite a bit: Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection
Good luck to you

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 All in One printer - printing wirelessly from an IPAD

    I'm trying to connect a HP Officejet Pro 8600 to our university campus wireless network for the purposes of printing wirelessly from an IPAD.  The printer finds the wireless network when going through wireless wizard setup but gets a message that the wireless network is using security that is not supported. 
    The campus wireless network uses:
    Security type: WPA2-Enterprise
    Encryption type: AES
    Can anyone tell me if these are supported by this model printer?

    Hey ibebry,
    The printer is designed to be used with WPA2 - Personal and not the Enterprise version.  From the wiki artricle on WPA encryption:
    WPA-Personal Also referred to as WPA-PSK (Pre-shared key) mode, it is designed for home and small office networks and doesn't require an authentication server. Each wireless network device authenticates with the access point using the same 256-bit key generated from a password or passphrase.
    WPA-Enterprise Also referred to as WPA-802.1X mode, and sometimes just WPA (as opposed to WPA-PSK). It is designed for enterprise networks and requires a RADIUS authentication server. This requires a more complicated setup, but provides additional security (e.g. protection against dictionary attacks on short passwords). An Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is used for authentication, which comes in different flavors.
    If the network is using WPA-Enterprise, then most likely the 8600 will not be able to connect.  Hope this helps.

  • Officejet pro 8600 all in one printer

    I have windows 7 on an hp pavilion p7 desktop. I am trying to install an officejet pro 8600  on it. I have had this printer hooked up for months and working right but when it was unplugged it stopped doing what I want. I have it hooked up by a USB cable directly from the printer to the pc. I have 2 papers in the queue to print and I can't get them out..This pc is not on a network. I have uninstalled & reinstalled it 5 times and tried to remember how I finally got it to work for me before...But No luck...Can anyone help? Also wouldn't let me download Driver & update features from H.P. It does print out a test page when I try it and will print stuff that the PC says to but will not let me print anything...Thanks

    Hi @Normill
    I will do my best to help you print with your OJ 8600
    When you said "It does print out a test page when I try it and will print stuff that the PC says to but will not let me print anything" are you meaning that it will print PC test pages but not from say Word?
    I'd recommend that you download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor and let me know if it finds any issues. If it does, please follow any suggestions it may make to get a resolution.
    Hope to hear back from you soon!

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 all-in-one printer Cancels Print in Middle of Job

    My Printer began working fine, now it is suddenly stalling and cancelling the print job in the middle of printing.  Please let me know what I can do to fix this issue.

    Hi @mgsamuel, 
    I would be happy to help you with your Officejet 8600. I understand it was working well, now suddenly it is stalling and print jobs are cancelling on their own.
    Running the Print and Scan Doctor might help. The HP Print and Scan Doctor is a free utility (tool) that helps to quickly diagnose and resolve common printing, scanning and connectivity issues including but not limited to:
    Connectivity:
    USB: Verifies that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product is working correctly.
    Network: Verifies that the network connection between your computer and your network is working correctly.
    Device Status Test: Checks for device errors such as out of paper, paper jams, carriage stalls, and paper feed issues, and then provides instructions for fixing the error.
    Driver Check: Checks for missing or corrupt driver files.
    Device Manager: Checks for problems in Device Manager that would prevent printing.
    Device Online: Checks if the product has been paused or set to offline, and then sets the status back to online if necessary.
    Print Queue: Checks for and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a log of print jobs waiting to print).
    Port Match: Checks the port settings for the HP product.
    Device Conflicts: Checks for conflicts with other drivers, such as other printer brands.
    Ink Issues: Checks the cartridges and ink levels for issues that affect print quality.
    Print Settings: Checks and adjusts the print quality settings.
    Test Print: Prints a test page for print quality evaluation, and provides options for cleaning and aligning the printhead if necessary.
    Scan Tests: Checks the scan mechanism, drivers, and registry entries.
    Source:Try the HP Print and Scan Doctor for Windows

    If that does not resolve the issue, post back and let me know if there are any symbols other than green check marks and what they are next to of course. The wrench is not always easy to spot as the wrench and the check mart are in the green circle.
    If you see only green check marks (), the tool did not find any problems.
    If you see green wrenches (), the utility identified an issue and corrected it automatically.
    If you see yellow exclamation points (), the test failed and required user action, but the step was skipped.
    If you see a red X (), follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the issue.
    Please use the thumbs up below if you happy with my efforts to help. If the issue persists, I will do all I can to help works towards a solution. Thanks, I look forward to hearing back from you.

  • Helvetica Font Available for HP Officejet Pro L7590 All-in-One Printer

    I have a client that needs to use Helvetica for the HP Officejet Pro L7590 All-in-One Printer, but we are not seeing this as an option.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 All-In-One Inkjet Printer

    Hello, I have an HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 All-In-One Inkjet Printer.  It started out working fine, but the touchscreen got lighter and lighter and would finally go out.  Now, I cannot see the screen at all and therefore am unable to use the printer.  I tried to delete the printer from my computer and reload the driver, but the driver requires that I use the touchscreen to initiate installation of the wireless capabilities and so forth.  Without being able to have the touchscreen light up, I am unable to see and follow the directions to hook it back up to the computer.  Any ideas?  Does HP make a replacement touchscreen for this product?  I bought this one because I have another one that works perfectly at home and was hoping to use this one at work.  Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @Wayne3
    I saw your post about how the display screen on your Officejet 8600 has gotten lighter and lighter until the display was unreadable. I have a few ideas in mind that might help you.
    Update the firmware on the printer with a USB cable plugged into the printer, and computer.
    Click here to download the firmware update: HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a Firmware
    Try a power reset and ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help greatly.
    Press the Power button to turn on the product.
    With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
    If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
    I hope the steps help you! If the screen continues to have the same problem, give us a call to see what your printer options are:

  • Paper Jam error message due to broken gear on Officejet Pro 8500 all-in-one printer

    3 year old HP Officejet Pro 8500 all-in-one printer (haven't used it much). Keeps telling "Paper Jam" although there is no paper jammed anywhere (searched meticulously with a flashlight after watching HP's tutorial videos on how to clear paper jams). I started searching on the Internet and found a couple of related videos on Youtube that pointed me in the right direction:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMFW1RRlDHEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwbF2Vs_0gQ  I could hear a clicking noise on that area of the printer each time I turned it on, so I carefully took the black cap apart that was hidding the gear, and confirmed I had the same problem as in the youtube videos above. See picture below showing the white plastic gear part that has a large crack which causes the Paper Jam error message and renders the printer unusable. After Googling a little bit, seems like a relatively common issue and wonder why such a part like that is not made of a stronger material like metal (planned obsolescence maybe?). Does anybody know if there is a way of replacing the broken gear?  (I really care for the environment and I would like to avoid having to throw the relatively new and expensive all-in-way printer away) Thanks a lot in advance for the advice!

    Hey ,  Thanks for posting in the HP Support Forum.  I do see that a cracked gear in your HP Officejet Pro 8500 All-in-One Printer is impeding all functionality.  I would like to help you with this but that particular part is not replaceable.  I recommend you reach out to our tech support team to find out what servicing options you have available. You can click on the following link to initiate a case: www.hp.com/contacthp/
    Once you fill out the online form to create your case you can choose from different direct contact methods. I hope this helps. Regards,

  • HP Officejet Pro 8610 All-in-One Printing Preference does not have Print Last Page First option

    HP Officejet Pro 8610 All-in-One printer:  Printing Preference missing Print Last Page First option.  Print lots of multipage documents.  Spending enormous amount of time resorting pages. 
    Prior to this printer?  .... grab printed stack -  staple  -  DONE! 
    Now?   Have to resort every document!
    Anyone out there have a solution?

    Reply to mkjohnson42. It doesn't matter what application I'm in. The option is NOT there. Just to confirm, I started from Word 2010, Excel 2010, a web page using Internet Explorer, Foxfire and Chrome. Plus, I did the old stand-by of going to Printers and Devices>Preferences. Under Preferences I have the choice to print on both sides of paper but NO Print Last Page First. I REALLY did check ALL of this before resorting to the Community. So, I really don't understand your question. Sorry.

  • On a HP Officejet Pro L7780 All-in-One printer, is there a toner and where is it?

    On a HP Officejet Pro L7780 All-in-One printer, is there a toner and where is it located? I've looked in Products and Supplies and don't see it but my printer is saying that it's low or empty.

    By now, you have probably discovered that the L7780 does not use a toner but cartridges.  It actually uses 4 HP 88's.  They are black, magenta, yellow and cyan.  Usually, black is the first to be replaced.  They can be found at Staples, Office Depot and Best Buy.

  • HP Officejet Pro L7780 All-In-One printer

    I am running Windows 8.1
    The printer status OFFLINE.
    It has done this in the past and I have been able to correct it by deleting and reinstalling it (at least back when I was running Windows XP and 7.  Possibly at that time it was the DHCP issue pointed out in a previous post.
    Now however, I can remove it and when I add it back, using Control Panel, Devices and Printers, Add a Printer,  it is recognized correctly on the network (shows the IP address I know is in the printer) but when I try to send a test page, I get a pop-up saying it is OFFLINE.  When I status it, it confirms it is offline.
    There is no indication at the printers display that it is offline and it shows it is communicating with the network.

    I can’t give you more than the info in my question about the model of the printer-HP Officejet Pro L7780 All-in-One printer

  • Officejet Pro 8600 all in one installation on dest top with AMD64 chip set and Window 7

    Can't install an HP Pro 8600 all in one with full features on a Desktop with windows 7 64 bit OS, PC has an AMD chip set, connection is wireless.
    This printer is replacing an HP Pro 8500 all in one that failed. HP's only solution was to upgrade to the 8600. All 8500 software was removed before attempting to install the 8600.
    The installation recognizes the printer & IP address. In the last step of the setup the network connection is not recognized. When I try to add a printer in Windows, the Microsoft drivers are installed and the printer works fine, but no scan or fax.
    I had success installing this wireless setup on 2 desktops (windows 7 & XP OS) and a laptop running VISTA. All of these have Intel CPU's. The installation completed fine.
    The HP Installation CD has an AMD64 folder (with "hpinkins5912"), but no instruction on setup or updating AMD drivers.

    Hey @mech3320 ,
    Thank you for taking the time out of your day to ask that question on the HP Forums today!
    I understand that you are having some trouble with the driver download on your AMD chipset but not your Intel one.
    I recommend that you try the web download of the drivers after you uninstall the ones that you tried form the CD.

    Let me know if the web drivers work better for you or not.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 all-in-one printer - issues after upgrading to Windows 8.1

    After successfully downloading a driver from the HP website to enable using this all-in-one printer with a new HP laptop using a Windows 8.1 OS, I confirmed that the printing function works normally (just as it did with a Windows XP OS on my wireless home network).
    However, I don't find any icons appearing on the 8.1 desktop for other HP apps (e.g. HP Solution Center, HP Photo Creations). I do have an icon for the Printer. When opened, it shows two options: 1) add a new printer and 2) add new software (from the original CD). But the original CD is for the XP OS, which I don't try and possibly mess up what already is working.
    So-o-o, Is there any HP software download available for HP apps to use with this printer, especially HP Solutions Center?

    Hi Riley.
    You can get HP Photo Creations here:
    www.hp.com/go/hppc
    It's a free download for Mac and Windows.
