HP Officejet Pro 8600 is not recognised on the network

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Printer runs on home network (wired) through PC with Windows Vista Business , Service Pack 2. I have printed off HP Configuration Page and the WINS status shows Primary (and Secondary) Server Addresses as 0.0.0.0
Printer is visible on the network with an IP Address of 192.168.0.10 so I guess the question is how do I change the Primary Server Address on the printer itself? Or is there something else I should be doing?
I have another printer (Photosmart 2610) on the network which works fine. I have swapped cables over between both printers and the Photosmart 2610 works with fine; Officejet 8600 does not work at all.
I have run HP Diagnostic Utility - it finds Photosmart 2610 but not Officejet 8600.
I'd appreciate any help going ...

Do you have a wireless router? Have you tried just setting it up wirelessly?

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus Not Recognized On The Network

    I have a CenturyLink DSL Modem/Router that has 4 ports on the back.  I use Port 1 on the DSL Modem/Router to conntect to my NetGear Router.  I use Port 2 on the DSL Modem/Router to connect my HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus printer.  I use Port 3 on the DSL Modem/Router to connect my Brother MFC-7360N printer.  I am not using Port 4 of the DSL Modem/Router.
    My NetGear Router is used to connect all wired desktop PC's (5) in the house.
    I was able to successfully install the software for the Brother printer on all computers and can print on the Brother printer from any of the desktop pc's.
    I have the software for the HP printer installed on all computers but on the WIN XP desktop pc I cannot detect the printer on the network.  During the setup process the software detects that the HP printer and the WIN XP pc are connected to two different routers (the DSL Modem/Router is being detected as a router by the WIN XP pc).  On the other desktop pc's which are running either WIN7 or WIN8 there is no detection problems even though the printer is connected to the DSL Modem/Router while the PC is conntected to the NetGear Router.
    Does anyone have any knowledge as to why I am having this problem.  The problem seems to be only with the WIN XP pc and not with the WIN7 or WIN8 pc's.
    This question was solved.

    You are running a double NAT scenario, not good.  Simple fix, put the gateway unit (modem/router) in bridge mode, which will disable the router functions and just make it a modem.  Now connect the Netgear router to the gateway unit and have this handle all your wired and wireless connections.

  • Officejet pro 8600 will not connect to wireless network

    I have an new Officejet Pro 8600 that I am trying to set up.  I have run the the wireless network setup wizard multiple times.  It recognizes the wireless network router asks for the WEP code and then thinks for about 5 minutes before returning a message: "Unable to connect to the network" 
    The wireless network test results suggestes that MAC address filtering may be the problem.  There is no MAC filtering function activated on our wireless router.
    The wireless router is a Verizon Actiontec MI424-WR    802.11 b & n
    We have computers running both Windows XP and MAC OS X.
    One of the reasons that we purchased this printer is for the wireless capabilities.  If it will not conect to the web then it may be going back.

    Hello,
    Based on the provided details, I believe the issue have something to do with the wireless security settings of your router.
    Please follow the steps below to access the Advanced Security Settings:
    http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/FiOSInternet/Networking/Setup/ActiontecMI424/125511.htm
    Below you will see the Network Authentication settings.
    Select either Open System Authentication or Both.
    Shared Key Authentication is not supported by the printer, and i believe this might be the cause for the connection failure.
    Please let me know of any change,

  • Officejet Pro 8600 will not print multiple copies

    When I first set up my HP Officejet Pro 8600 I could print multiple copies.  Not sure when, how, or why but I can no longer print more than one copy of any document at a time regardless if it is one page or 100 pages.   I tried to update the drivers but the update failed as it said it could not uninstall the printer. When I did the error reporting it said there was no solution.
    My OS is Window XP Home
    The printer is connected via network.
    I print mainly from MS Word 2010 and Adobe PDF files and I have the same issue from either program.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Since the drivers and software refuses to update automatically, force it to. Uninstall all of the printer software and install it back using a fresh download. That will ensure that you have the latest driver and software for the printer installed and eliminate the need for updates for a while. I'll link them below. If that doesn't fix the problem with multiple documents not printing, try using an alternate driver for the printer. I'll link those instructions below. Let me know what happens.

  • Officejet pro 8600 will not print card stock

    I just purchased the Officejet Pro 8600 and cannot print card stock.  I read another HP troubleshooting page and tried to run 100 copies of blank paper through to "calibrate" the printer as suggested by HP technical support.   There was a suggestion to disconnect the tray 2 paper tray but I also don't a tray 2.  Any suggestions?  I print card stock regularly.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Will Not Print Wirelessly

    Hi.  I have read other threads on this forum with suggested fixes from HP employees and tried them.  I have run the tool which found no errors.  My firewall is off.  I have installed the latest Adobe and uninstalled then reinstalled the printer software.  I have followed instructions in book re: turning off computer, router, printer, etc.  I can see the IP address for the printer in IE.
    Still, this brand new printer will not print wirelessly or otherwise from my hp laptop.  VERY frustrating.  I have spent hours trying work arounds for a brand new computer.  I would greatly appreciate a response regarding how to resolve this problem.  Thank you.

    I have seen cases where a troubled install went through flawlessly after the computer was reimaged.  That may be an option to consider. 
    I did want to make sure that you had the most current firmware version and it looks like you do.
    Before a reimage, you could uninstall Officejet Pro 8600 programs (if there are any) and download and install the drivers for your printer from hp.com.  Click here for the HP Officejet Pro Full Feature Software and Driver.  By doing this, you would have the most up-to-date drivers.  Sometimes a download will work where a disk does not.  It you do decide to reimage, I highly recommend the above download for the installation.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 N911a not able to air print since Maverick update

    My Officejet Pro 8600 N911a worked fine printing wireless before the newest Maverick upgrade.  Now it will only print one print job after I turn the printer off and then back on.  If I connect the computer to the printer, it seems to work fine, so it has to do with the upgrade and airprint.  I have just downloaded the current Mavericks plug in, but there is no change.

    When you say Airprint, are you printing Wireless diect to the 8600 or is the 8600 connected to your wireless network?
    When you say the latest plu-n, do you mean the update from Apple Software Update (Apple Store) or the full 10.9 solution from HP.com?
    In either case I would recommend first just deleting the print queue on the Macintosh and re-adding it.  If that does not resolve the issue try resetting teh print system and adding the printer back new.
    Try performing a "reset print system" on teh Macintosh and then reconnecting to the printer.
    To reset the print system perform the following:
    1. Open System Preferences
    2. Click on the Print & Scan
    3. click or click in the box listing the current print queues.
    4. Select Reset printing system...
    5. Enter admin User Name and Password
    6. Reboot the Macintosh
    7. Try setting up the printer again

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus, not appending number in sequence to base file name when saving PDF.

    Officejet Pro 8600 Plus (new today - everything else working great), Vista 32-bit, HP desktop.
    After scanning documents and creating a PDF file (Save to file on my computer w/USB connection), using HP Scan, it does not append numbers in sequence to base file name.  HP Scan (Under Advanced Settings/Destinations) reads that it will do this (when you over over the base name field).  Perhaps I have to enable something.  Do you know how I can do this?  Thank you.

    I'm not really sure what's going on.  The install might not have written right.  Try uninstalling and installing from a fresh download.  Let me know what happens.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 n911a - not working, again

    I purchased this printer (Officejet Pro 8600) last week. Set up was really difficult. A PC laptop set up quickly and works fine. My iMac and Mac Book - coulnd't 'see'  the printer for set up. I managed to install drivers and achieve printing by using a USB cable to set up the wireless' connections using the IP address.
    All worked for Wednesday to Friday. This monring, both Macs find the printer 'unreachable', the PC is printing fine.
    I have:
    Hard reset the printer
    Downloaded the Apple support files, and restarted
    Downloaded the most up to date drivers from the HP website
    Still nothing. What next?
    My Mac is using OS 10.8.5
    This is costing me time and money, not withstanding the purchase price. What next ... I need a printer - or I wouldn't have paid for one.
    All help gratefully received.

    Good news - I've managed to add a static IP address.
    So, for now at least, the iMac and Mac Book can see the printer and print. Hopefully it lasts ...
    Still cannot 'scan to computer'. It works on the pc, but I cannot scan to/via the macs - which is what I need to do. And no, I cannot share a network folder on the pc (it is not mine). Is there any way around this? It used to work fine with the HP scan software on my old Deskjet F4580 ... any advice appreciated

  • Google cloud print for officejet pro 8600 - could not get printer information from hp.

    I just purchased a new OfficeJet Pro 8600 today. Everything seems to work great except for the connector to Google Cloud Print. I can print from AirPrint, as well as emails to the hpeprint.com address, but when I try to register via the google site, I receive the "could not get printer information from HP" error message.
    The printer is connected via wireless ethernet, and seems to work find otherwise. I have no restrictions on who can send print jobs, and I have changed the email address for hpeprint.com a few times, as suggested in other forum threads, but it can never connect to the the Cloud Print service. I am at the latest firmware level listed on the HP website. I have tried to initiate the connection from multiple PC's as well as multiple web browsers.
    This was a big factor in purchasing this printer. Help anyone?

    Hey rch33k, I am sorry for the ongoing issue that you are having accessing Google Cloud Print. This is being looked into as this is not a singular issue and is affecting other customers as well.  Engineers are currently investing this problem to try and provide a solution to it.  I want to again apologize and thank you all for your patience in this matter.  They only other thing to attempt at this time is to contact Google for further assistance to see if anything can be done on their end. Hopefully this will be fixed quickly

    Try connecting the printer to your network from the printer front panel: Setup > Network > Wireless Setup Wizard.

  • New OfficeJet Pro 8600 will not print

    I just got a new OfficeJet Pro 8600 a little over a week ago and have it setup on my wireless network. The first few days it worked fine, but as of yesterday I haven't been able to print anything. The computer says it's printing, but the printer isn't doing anything. I've checked my wireless status and it says that it's connected. How do I fix this or what do I do? Thanks!

  • Officejet Pro 8600 will NOT print on MAC OSX 10.7.5

    I'm using Mac OSX 10.7.5 
    New Officejet Pro 8600 is set-up and wireless is connected with Bonjour.  When printing the printer utility opens and shows me that the printer is connecting.  For example: "Printing Microsoft Word - Document 1".  Printing page is shown as "100% complete". However, nothing prints.
    I am able to print the 'Print Self Test Page' but nothing else (ie. word documents). I have the printer setup on an HP Laptop and it is working just fine over the network.
    I have tried every solution under the following link and nothing worked:

    HI, I also had this same issue and finally worked out a solution.
    Just to summarise: I had two Macbooks 10.7.4, iPhone, iPad, airport express and netgear evg2000 router. They all worked wirelessly one minute then stopped. I could wirelessly connect to the printer, print test pages, view the queue, view supplies but any print would appear in the queue as 100% complete or 1% or 12% but never actually print out.
    I logged in to the embedded web server (ews) on the printer, went to network, advanced settings-bonjour and changed the Bonjour Highest Priority Service to '9100 printing' instead of 'LDP'. I then deleted the printer from the print function in system prefs, re added it and it worked. I had to turn the iPhone and iPad off and on and they worked.
