Hp officejet pro 8600 and macbookair

My HP officejet pro 8600 was picked up by my new MACbook air without a problem, however each time i go to print or scan it will not connect unless I power off and on the printer. Then it works fine until next time I go to print-- I have to do same thing?? Any thoughts

Hi @sprtssurg,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I see everytime you try to print and scan, you need to power off and on the HP Officejet Pro 8600. I notice you said your MacBook Air running the Yosemite 10.10 Operating system picked up the OJ 8600 right away, does this mean you did not install the full feature software and drivers or did you just install using the AirPrint Driver?
Leave me with the following information:
1. What is the Exact model of HP OJ 8600 Printer are you using, as there are a few in the 8600 series?
2. Do you get any error messages on the Mac, printer offline etc.?
3. How is the printer connected, USB or Wireless?
I hope to hear from you soon, so we can begin troubleshooting.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600+ and Inkjet Printable BD-R

    Hello All,
    I have an OfficeJet Pro 8600+ and bought some Inkjet Printable BD-R by HP. I can't figure out a way to print on these disks from the printer I have. I don't see how the disc can be pulled from the standard paper tray as that requires the flexibility of paper to make the bends along the normal path. Is there some secret door I can't find?
    I really just bought the discs for the storage and discovered the inkjet capability after I bought them. So it's not a big deal, but I'd like to take advantage of this and overcome the hazard of my crappy handwriting on discs.  :^)

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 and/or Plus: differences.

    Hi all, simple question.
    What's the difference, beside shape, little speed up and LCD screen, between:
    HP Officejet Pro 8600 HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus
    Can't really find out if the second is worth 50 euro more.
    Also, do HP drivers work well with OS X?
    Thanks

  • Driver Issues with HP Officejet Pro 8600 and Windows 8

    I have to reinstall the printer driver for my HP Office Jet Pro 8600 wireless printer each time I power up my laptop. I do not have any issues with this printer when using my PCs and my antroid tablet.  Once the driver is reinstalled I can print my documents however it becomes "offline" whenever I log off and then log back onto my laptop.

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @Shrn 
    I read your post about how your printer will disconnect and show offline on your laptop, each time the computer is restarted. As this only happens on your laptop, the problem could be with a firewall running on your computer.
    I would suggest checking your firewall settings and ensure you're allowing the printer to connect within the firewall.
    This link may help: How to Edit Firewall Settings
    You could also try running the Print and Scan Doctor when you restart your computer to see if this tool will pick up the printer on the network and connect it to your computer again.
    Another option, would be to try a Clean Boot, which will turn off all Start Up Programs on your laptop to see if another program could be blocking the printer from connecting to it during a restart. Make sure to go back and enable the programs again after you have tested this out.
    Let me know your findings and what happens!

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 and OSX 10.9 Mavericks

    Am not able to duplex print.  The duplex print accessory is properly installed.  I have tried opening the System Preferences and going to Print & Fax.  I have opened the print queue and clicked on Printer Setup, but then there is no Driver tab.  Where do I go from here?

    Hi. In case there is some confusion after installing the HP Installer software, first check with the application "Text Edit" to see if when you select print from there you are presented with the "Two-Sided" check box as an option. If so, then you should be OK for duplex.
    However if you want to have access to the full list of HP Options including Duplex in your print queue, then try the following:
    1. Go to "System Preferences", select "Printers & Scanners".
    2. Press "+" to add a new printer.  Select the Officejet 8600, but make sure in the last selection box "Use:" you change it from "Airprint" to "HP Officejet 8600". Then press "Add".
    4. Once you do that your new printer should appear in the list. I suggest you right click it and make it your default printer.
    Now if you select your new printer and select "Open Print Queue", then select "Settings", you should be presented with two additional tabs you did not have before - "Options" which includes HP Two-Sided Printing and "Utility" which gives you access to the HP Printer Utility.
    5. If all is OK, then just clean up your list of printers by removing your old HP Officejet 8600 printer from your list of printers in "Printers & Scanners" by selecting it from the list and pressing "'-".   Do NOT remove the Officejet 8600 (Fax) from the list.
    Hope that works for you.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 and the 950XL black replacement cartridge

    The ink cartridge I bought and installed is still bringing up the "Depleted ink cartridges must be replace to resume printing" message.  What do I do?

    If the cartridge is a third party refill/reman I would suggest returning it for a refund and replacing it with a genuine HP.

  • I have a new Officejet Pro 8600 and I'm trying to print name tags (Avery)

    I'm trying to print name tags (Avery), but the printer keeps telling me I have the wrong size paper in the tray.  I'm working from Word in Windows 7, selected the appropriate template and even changed the page size to 4.5x11, but it will not print.

  • Can't get officeJet Pro 8600 wireless to connect

    This is so frustrating. I just bought a HP Officejet Pro 8600 and am trying to set up the wireless connection to my ATT-supplied Netgear 7550 router.  I keep getting a message that "MAC address filtering is enabled on your wireless router" even though I have checked in the router setup and I am certain that it is not (it clearly says MAC is "not enabled").  I talked to the ATT tech support and they agreed--we even hard-rebooted the router and re-installed it and it seems to be working as intended.   I have unplugged and re-plugged the printer.  I have spent over 2 hours and keep getting the same message.
    Help?
    Oh, I have also tried the HP Dr. software taht has been recommended to others, but it does not find my printer.

    Thanks for the reply. I believe I already tried that once. I added the printer MAC address and selected "allow this address" or something like that. It did not seem to help, so I went back and disabled the MAC filtering completely. But, I can try that again. Certainly won't hurt.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600

    Hi,
    I'm new to the forum and hope I can get help here. I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600 and it doesn't print since I updated my late 2009 iMac and my new MacBook Pro to OS X Yosemite (it used to work just fine with Mavericks). I am connected via wifi.
    I am using the latest driver (HP-Inkjet-SW-OSX-Mavericks_v12.34.37) which is offered on the HP support site for OS X 10.10 and I've also installed the latest HPPrinter Drivers3.0.
    I can print a test page and I can print test- and configuration pages from the HP Utility, but I can't print an email or a pages document. It says it finds the printer and goes to 100%, but nothing happens.
    I already have:
    - deleted all the printers and reset the printing system
    - installed the above mentioned drivers
    - repaired Volume Access Rights
    When I install the printer, it will not install with AirPrint checked (it says printer cannot be found) - I can only install using the HP Driver...
    This is my Protocol:
    E [07/Nov/2014:16:19:43 +0100] DNSServiceRegister failed with error -65537
    E [20/Nov/2014:12:11:11 +0100] [Job 1] Druckerstatus konnte nicht abgerufen werden.

    Scanning works just fine.
    Interesting enough I can print documents from my iPhone, also connection wireless.
    Thankful for any ideas, this is absolutely annoying...

    I did at around 5am, will try again tonight. Will let you know

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600-a: Can't Fax after converting to Verizon Home Phone

    Can anyone provide me with a solution?
    My HP Officejet Pro 8600 All In One worked just perfectly prior to converting our home telephone from AT&T/Frontier to Verizon Home phone service.
    Now, I can't send nor receive a fax.  What I've read on the "net", it appears I will need to junk my HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 and buy a new unit compatible with Verizon Home phone service. It would be a shame to junk a unit that is not even 1 year old.
    My hope is someone here has come across a solution!
    Thank you for your help.

    Thank you all for your input.
    Please understand I did not rush into making this Home Phone change to Verizon. I met with the same Verizon "agent" 3 separate days at 3 separate times.  Together we went over point-by-point all of my requirements.  We did cover faxing capabilities. Still I was sold a product that didn't fit my basic needs.
    Hopefully, I am still within my window to cancel.
    I need to be able to fax, so I have a lot of work to do to straighten this mess out.
    Thanks again!

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600...laptop cant find printer to set up wireless printing

    I just purchased an HP officejet Pro 8600 and successfully synched it to a laptop in my office for wireless printing without a problem. Immediately after that, I attempted to connect the printer to another laptop in the office and the 2nd laptop cannot find it even when I type in the IP address manually. Both laptops are the exact same model and both laptops and printer are all successfully connected to the same router. I've tried almost everything and still can't figure out whats going on. Please advise. Thanks.

  • How can I set the fax prefix no. on HP officejet pro 8600

    Greeting.
    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600, and I want to send FAX thru this.
    In my office, we need to put '0' to call outside.
    However, there is no prefix setting menu on this device.
    I have another model HP 1213mf which has Prefix No. menu on it, but I couldn't find this menu on 8600.
    Please Help me

    Hi Wony,
    Welcome to the HP forums!
    I understand you're looking for a way to add a prefix on the Officejet 8600 for faxing, and I will do my best to explain what I found on this subject.
    As far as I can tell, and I did check with a few colleagues, there is no Prefix No. menu on the OJ 8600 like there was on your LaserJet 1213mf. With that being said, that doesn't mean that you can't use this printer to fax in your office. Anytime you need to dial the fax you would hit the 0 first follow by ##, as that adds a pause to the dialing to then dial the rest of the number. You can also add that to speed dial numbers so that for numbers that are used all the time you don't have to dial the number each and every time.
    So just as an example, if you were to fax HP's faxback server (1-888-473-2963) you would dial "0##1-888-473-2963" to get the fax to send.
    This may not be exactly what you were looking for, but I hope this is an acceptable workaround Please let me know!
