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

Hi there cv4928,
Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? What operating system are we using and what application will we be printing from?

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 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.

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.

This document may help:

Can you print from the ADF with Officejet Pro 8600 (not plus) & how to print checks in correct order

Client has Officejet Pro 8600 I(not plus) They want to print payroll checks out of QuickBooks but when they put the checks in tray 1, it pulls the check that is on the top, which happens to be the last check # in the stack. Is there a way to print where the printer pulls from the bottom of the check stack as opposed to the top. I've looked and can't seem to find the answer. QuickBooks says we should check with HP and change something in the print drivers?
So I thought it would fix it if they printed the checks from the ADF where I thought I could control if it pulls from the front or back of the stack. When we tried to print from the ADF, it pulled from Tray 1 and we weren't given the option to print from the ADF. (only Tray 1 & 2...which they don't have the 2nd tray anyway) So does this model, not being the PLUS model, not allow you to print from the ADF. (only scan, copy and fax from the adf?)
If we can't use the ADF for check printing, then how can we get the checks to print in the correct order. Meaning, the 1st check # to print should be on the check that is on the bottom of that check stack in Tray 1. Otherwise they have to count out the exact number of checks & place them in the tray. Or reverse all of them which is not an efficient either! I hope this makes sense.

Hi @kceacct ,
I see that you would like to know how to print out the checks in order. I will do my best to help you.
The ADF can be used for copying, scanning and faxing.
From the print driver you can only select the tray that you want to print from.
Changing Print Settings in Windows 8.
You would have to load the checks in order from top to bottom in the paper tray, since the printer just pulls the paper in from the top of the stack of paper.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Ink system failure officejet pro 8600 Plus

Trying to install officejet pro 8600 and the control panel shows "ink system failure" and I can not get past that. Any suggestions

I had a gentleman give me an 8600 Plus printer due to the "INK SYSTEM FAILURE" as he didn't want to spend any money to fix same because he had seen so many other people complaining about the same failure. What do I have to lose so I started taking it apart and what do you know... THE SERVICE STATION WAS SO LOADED UP WITH INK, IT WAS UNABLE TO CYCLE FORE AND AFT. After much work trying to figure out how to get the SERVICDE STATION out without breaking it, I finally managed to free it. I then put the service station in a bucket of warm water and dish detergent and kept running till the water was fairly clean. Upon close inspection of the service station engaging gear,( BEIGE SPLINED GEAR), I feel that all the ink in the well was preventing proper operation of same. Long story short.. "THE PRINTER IS BACK TO FULL OPERATION AND ONLY COST ME A FEW HOURS OF DETERMINATION". Also I have to say I cleaned and lubed the carraige rail along with the ENCODER STRIP and it is working as advertised. Any questions, feel free to email me , [email protected]

HP Officejet Pro 8600 security settings

Has anybody had a problem with a Officejet Pro 8600 and the gateway provided by CenturyLink telephone as part of the Prism TV service. I have no problem connesting to my LAN but my printer appears to be prevented from connecting to the Internet by a clash of security types. CenturyLink says the printer should have a TKIP setting to allow connection. Anybody else have a similiar problem?

Hey , I understand that you would like to set the correct date and time on your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer. However, I see that your printer is prompting you for an Administrator Username and Password in order to make the date and time adjustment. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue. To eliminate an Administrator Username and Password on your printer you must perform a Semi-Full Programming Reset on your machine. I will send you the instructions via Private Message on how to perform the Semi-Full Reset. Once the Reset is complete you will have a nice clean slate to work with. Please refer to your Private Messages for further instruction on how to perform the Reset. Once the Reset is complete you will be brought through the initial out of box initialization on your printer. Therefore, your product should prompt you for the date and time once again. Should you make a mistake in configuring the date or time on your machine you can manually configure these settings. How to Manually Configure Date and Time Settings: On the front panel of your printer right arrow and touch Setup (wrench)Right arrow and touch PreferencesTouch Date and TimeFollow the onscreen prompts to manually configure the date and time settings Please respond to this post with the result of performing the Semi-Full Programming Reset. I look forward to hearing from you!

How can I Print a 4X6 postcard on a hp officejet pro 8600

How do I print a 4X6 postcard on a hp officejet pro 8600? I've got postcards in the tray 1 slot on top of the printer, and have selected 4X6 card in the properties with both the auto select and tray one, but no matter what I do, it still prints out from tray 2 on 8X11 paper. Any help would be appreciated?

Hi, Please install the latest firmware from link below for the printer and try again. Assuming your printer is Officejet pro 8600 premium or plus http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=bi-102210-4&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4063&product=4323648&sw_lang=

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.
