HP Officejet Pro 8600 Network Folder Setup to Yosemite share

I have an HP OfficeJet 8600 Pro (N911g) that is hooked up to the network wirelessly. I have used the scan to network folder extensively during the time I've owned it, connecting to either an Apple Time Capsule or an OS X workstation with an SMB share.
I recently upgraded the workstation in question to Yosemite (OS X 10.10), and now the scan to a network folder fails with the error "Incorrect credentials". I have recreated the setup on the printer to verify that the credentials and path supplied are correct, and have tested the account name I'm using from a windows machine to confirm that the credentials are valid. I have also tried turning off the AFP share on that workstation to ensure it was not interferring with the SMB share, and there was no change in the behavior.
Any thoughts on further troubleshooting steps?

Just to let you know I posted the same issue in another thread a few days ago.  We don't have a solution yet, but there are a whole bunch of us with the same problem you've posted about:

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Network connection error message in EWS

    I just got an Officejet Pro 8600 Premium.  The printer is connected to the network via a network cable.  When navigating through the EWS, sometimes the message "Network connection error.  Check network and try again." message is shown (the message could appear in various pages, such as Settings, Tools, etc.).  Refreshing the page should get rid of the message. 
    At first, I suspected if it was a problem with the network. So I pinged the printer's ip address continuously.  It did not miss a single beat.  The printer prints and scans well via the network.  So I think the error may be caused by something inside of the print, such as bug of EWS software, or internal error. 
    Anyone see the same message during the use?  Any suggestion?  Does it indicate there is hardware problem with the printer?  Thanks.

    HP Support has escalated the case.  I referred this thread in the support request.  Hopefully, they can have a look at the issue.
    For me, the only setting does not stick is "Use the same time zone set on this computer" in Settings\Date & Time.  I've created another ticket for this issue.  8500A has the same problem.
    You can try to restart the EWS.  Unplug the power cord while the printer is on.  Then wait 15 sec and reconnect the power cord.  Press the power button if the printer does not turn on by itself.
    If you would like to reset to the printer and reconfigure from scratch, you can check here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/How-to-reset-Officejet-Pro-8600-Plus-P...

  • Unable To Communicate With Printer HP Officejet Pro 8600 (Network)

    I recently purchased an HP Officejet Pro 8600. One morning a couple weeks ago I tried to print something and I received a prompt saying "Unable to Communicate with Printer (Network)". I turned off the printer and turned it back on which did not help, I then turned off my wireless network, turned it back on and still nothing. I finally figured out that I first have to turn off the printer, then turn off my wireless router wait thirty seconds, turn the router back on and the turn the printer back on. After these steps my printer was working. The next morning the same thing happened "Unable to Communicate with Printer (Network)" and I've been replaying Groundhog's Day ever since.
    Please help!

    Hello msheehy-
    I would like to help you with this issue. It sounds like the router is changing the ip address of the printer. This could be caused by a couple reasons. (ip lease time, power loss to the router) I would recommend looking at the following link. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03781399&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=4323648&tmp...
    I think if you would set a static ip address in the printer EWS you would better off. I hope this helps.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 network problems

    HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't be accessed through router.  ROKU changed some settings in router.  What settings are a must?

    There are so many different settings.  Do you know which ones the ROKU changed?
    Do other wireless devices still connect to the router OK?
    In most cases the printer should adapt to changes unless they are the network name and password.  If you haven't tried ityet turn the printer off, let sit a minute then turn it back on again.  That will force the printer to negotiate with the router to get any settings changes.  If the blue LED on the printer does come back on lit (no blink) then the printer is communicating with the wireless network properly again and your problem might be with a IP address change. 
    Let me know the status of the blue LED on the printer after the power cycle.

  • Can't setup ePrint and Web Services on my New HP Officejet Pro 8600!

    I just purchased a new HP Officejet Pro 8600. I setup the printer following the setup wizard: my home wireless network work perfectly and the printer prints great. I am now trying to setup ePrint but I get the following error:
    "Cannot connect to the server.
    Check the Internet connection and try again. Or contact your system administrator or the person who set up the printer. If your network requires a proxy server address to connect to Internet, click Enter Proxy or check your browser settings."
    I don't use any server proxy and my OS System is Windows 7 64 bit.
    Someone can help me?

    I just went through this a few days ago.  I had changed internet service providers and thus had a new router.  My hpconnected migrated from hpeprint andkept saying it was not connected to the network and hpconnected status kept saying 'offline'
    This totally worked:
    on hpconnected.com remove your device
    on your printer or from hp printer software on your system 'remove web services'  
    readd webservices, your printer will print the new information with the claim code
    add your device back to hpconnected with the new claim code
    and wah lah....you are connected to your network through webservices
    you will need to create a new hpeprint email as a result
    PS on the set up when it asks for Proxy Settings and you have ATT Uverse these do not exist so just leave the areas blank

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus connection issue - HELP!

    I have a strange issue:  after some hours, the communication link is dropped between the computer and printer.  When this happens, IE becomes unusable and will not connect to anything.  This is replicated on three XP home machines.   The fourth, a vista ultimate machine, does not seem to be affected (yet).  I get the "scan to computer is disabled" error.  It cannot be re-enabled.  At this point I cannot print either.  I can reach the embedded web server on the printer via firefox and can still surf using firefox.  I can ping the printer, but again once the connection is dropped, no printing or scanning to the computer.  The only thing I've found that resolves the issue (temporarily) is to reboot the computer, which just starts the cycle again.
    last night I installed the software on an XP machine and the laptop to test when the connection dropped.  They lasted from 7pm Monday until I got home at 5pm Tues.  The machines were not used.  Once I started using them (firefox only), then they dropped the connection within a half hour of each other around 7pm.  The other XP machine lasted from 7pm Mon until 7am tues, when my wife started using it and then noticed it dropped sometime that tues between 7 and 9AM.  An 11am tues reboot ran OK until 10 pm tues when connection was lost again (and IE is now dead).   The Vista machine has been running since 7pm monday until now (930pm tues) and still seems to be holding.
    printer hardwired, to router, static IP, 100-full link speed (also tried 10-half)
    router dlink di-655
    two XP machines are hardwired, vista is hardwired, and last xp machine is a laptop on wireless.
    I've swapped cables rebooted and reinstalled multiple times.  I must have a file a mile long on the support phone line.  They were unable to fix it.  I asked this to be escalated, but who knows when I'll get a response.
    I've toggled firewalls - XP built in
    I've uninstalled anti virus software
    I've even put up with crazy suggestions from tech support like changing the router channel (uhh, it is wired!)
    one xp machine had an AIO 4215 hooked via USB and the others printed to it via network, but the printer has been deleted from the networked machines.
    I can ping 127.0.0.1 which is supposed to indicate the tcp service is OK.
    I have not reset winsock .. I can see one machine being bad, but three????
    malware / virus scan shows no issues.  Again one maybe, but three??
    The only thing I can think of is that there is something in the XP networking stack that conflicts with the new 8600 software as hours pass.  Perhaps there is some polling operation that goes on then dies after some time, then it kills IE as it dies.
    When the printer works it is great, but rebooting is not a permanent solution to this.
    any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!  I am stumped and so is tech support.  They are sending it to engineering, but who knows when they will respond.
    thanks in advance.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    well it looks like I have a working solution  ... I downloaded a freeware file called process.exe .  I made a cmd file via notepad with the following contents:
    rem this is to keep the HP network printer communicating with the desktops
    rem
    process -k "hpnetworkcommunicator.exe"
    rem
    process -k "scantopcactivationapp.exe"
    rem
    "C:\Program Files\HP\HP Officejet Pro 8600\Bin\HPNetworkcommunicator.exe"
    rem
    Start "" "C:\Program Files\HP\HP Officejet Pro 8600\Bin\ScanToPCActivationApp.exe" -deviceID CNXXXX:NW -scfn "HP Officejet Pro 8600 (Network)"
    the XXXX is your printer serial number with an extra character or two.  Pull that number from the port tab after you pull up "properties" for the 8600 printer.
    This cmd file basically restarts the printer link.  It opens a command window that launches the program to re-establish the link.. then it closes the command window.   The launched program shows that the communication link is dead (just for a few seconds), but then it makes the connection... THEN you hit the close button and coninue your work until it dies again. 
    I may have it autorun every X hours if I can narrow down a good time.  Until then I have a shortcut on the desktop to "FIX HP LINK"   ...   I only had to do this for my XP machines, as the vista one seemed OK.
    What ticks me off is that I shouldn't have to do all of this diagnosis. It would be nice if there is a fix in the pipeline so the link stays stable al the time.  I've spent hours trying to figure this crap out.
    Anyhow, I hope the time I spent helps someone.  PS, thanks to the OJ6500 thread that had the info for the scantopcactivationapp.exe program.
    PS  ...  I'm still waiting for an engineer to contact me, if any HP employees are reading this.
    PSS  I haven't tried this without killing and restarting the hpnetworkcommunicator stuff, but it works for now.

    Thanks for this AnnRT!
    I've spent the best part of a day trying to figure this out. Everything was fine and then one day nothing worked! I have narrowed the issue down to Bonjour via WiFi as everything worked fine via USB, and via IP over WiFi.

  • Scan To network folder - HP officejet pro 8600 cannot connect.

    Good morning,
    For the last week or so, My officejet pro 8600 has been giving me the error
    "Cannot connect to \\REDACTED\Public\Scans. Make sure the remote computer is turned on."
    It will correct itself if we restart the computer/printer  in question. but this only solves the issue for approx 6-7 hours.
    Things i have done to attempt to fix this.
    Set a static ip address for both the computer in question and the printer itself.
    updated the IP address using the HP tool.
    reinstalled the HP office program.
    Set DMZ for both the computer and printer.
    Set the public scans folder to zero security( so anyone connected to the network can gain unrestricted access)
    re-setup the network feature on the printer itself.
    however now i am at a loss.
    Any help would be great.

    Hi @Prophet1986,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that you cannot connect in order to scan to your network folder with your HP Officejet 8600. I am sorry to hear this, but I am happy to help!
    Are you able to make copies? Setting Up the Printer to Print and Copy from Tray 1 and Tray 2.
    Are you connected wirelessly? Or with an Ethernet cable?
    Also, what operating system are you using? Windows or Mac? What version? If you do not know the Operating System you are using, please visit this website. Whatsmyos.
    In the meantime, please try the following:
    Make sure the printer's power cable is plugged directly into the wall outlet, not a surge protector. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.

  • Intermitte​ntly having issue sending scans to networked directory folder HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g

    Hello All,
    I have a printer installed an AIO HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g which is cappable of scanning either by flatbed or feeder to a networked drive/folder. For the most part this works fine, however 2 times out of 10 it produces the following error;
    "Cannot connect to \\'Server details\Folder location path'.  Make sure the remote computer is turned on."
    Now I have seen many post about disabling the filewall and other, however none of this type after an install.
    Some obvous checks have been made already, Network cable replace, Changing of the destination folder location, and reseting the password for the scanner to auth as well as confirming the permisions. And each time the tests via the web console and physical tests work fine though this doesn't last.
    Could anyone help?
    Thanks

    Hi @Paperjam27 
    From your description, it sounds like the issue is intermittent. It can sometimes be challenging to identify the root cause of an issue when the problem is not consistent, but I am happy to work with you towards a solution. I suspect the issue might have something to do with the network. I know you said you have tried a new cable and done some troubleshooting already but bear with me here.
    When you say you replaced the cable, do you have an Ethernet cable connected between the printer and the router? if not, then I wonder if there is some sort of interference on your wireless connection. Is your router is a dual band router broadcasting both 2.4 and 5.0 frequency? The printer only works on 2.4GHz, maybe this is the root cause.
    The channel your router is set to can impact your network consistency too. For example, if you are on channel 11 and others in your area are also on channel 11 or even 9 or 10 it causes congestion on that channel. Think of the channel like a highway or interstate, the more cars on that highway/interstate, the slower you go due to congestion, if you are on a highway with less people are on it, it is more like smooth sailing! You can print a network configuration page to see what channel you are using and see what channel others in your area are no. If the higher channels are most common you might consider changing yours to 1, 2, or 3, and visa versa.  How to: Printing a Network Configuration Page.
    has this ben an issue since you have had the printer or did it recently start happening? If this only recently started, can you think of anything that changed recently? Do you have only one access point (router) or do you have a secondary router or extender? Can you think of anything that might be interfering with your network, and do you find the issue occurs more at a certain time of the day than others?
    I found on my network at home, I was often seeing delays in response time in the early evening because others are coming home from school and work and 'clogging up the channel', I changed the channel and have had little to no issue since.
    Let me know if you think of anything, and post back with the answers to the questions I have posted and I will get back to you. Thanks.

  • Unable to find network printer HP OfficeJet Pro 8600

    HP Officejet Pro 8600
    Windows 7 64bit
    updated router firmware
    Troubleshoot all item s listed by HP and with Windows
    I have been unable to print wireless from my laptop. Wireless network test results gives me a pass in all categories. Network name is the same on printer and laptop. IP address on printer and tcp  port are the same. Tried firewall on and off. AVG antivirus on and off. Unplugged printer, router, usb, restarted laptop. Nothing has solved the problem.
    I can see that the printer has an ip address. My router has an ip address and my laptop has an ip address. Should they all be different? I am using the ip address from the printer to set up the wireless printing when asked to enter the address.
    This has been the most frustrating process I have ever delt with. It should not be this difficult to set up. Please help.
    Thank you in advance for a quick solution.

    Shurlee, I want you to do is re-run the wireless setup wizard on your printer. Then uninstall it, and reinstall it again using the software I am going to link you to below. From what you describe it sounds like either an installation issue or an issue with your network. If this helps feel free to mark my post by hitting the star below my name which gives me a kudos - kinda like a job well done on here. 
    First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it. Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer. 
    In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it. 
    Download these files and install them. By the way these are for the N911a, but if you have the 8600 Plus or Premium you will need different drivers. 
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=4323659
    Install that and let me know the result!

  • WiFi Wireless Setup Wizard produces Blue Screen of Death on Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

    The wireless setup wizard on my Officejet Pro 8600 Plus is failing immediately after "scanning for networks". I get a blue screen of death with error message B8494B00, followed by "turn printer on and off" with flashing screen.
    I bought the printer about one month ago and it has worked perfectly so far. My Apple Time Capsule failed yesterday, so I bought a new one (latest model) and had to set up the wireless network again. When I tried to do so on the printer, I got the error for the first time. Nothing else had changed. Other devices are working with no problems on the new network. The computer is an Apple iMac running OS Mountain Lion. 
    I have tried turning the printer on and off, disconnecting the power and reconnecting, then turning it on again, but no result. I have restored the wireless to factory settings, but no difference. 
    Please help. 

    Right off I have to tell you I do not "speak Mac".
    I assume the "Apple Time Capsule" is a name for a network router?  A syncing device?
    Unless I am mistaken:
    You do not need the Wizard to set up the network -- it is pretty software for an HP PC; when it works, it can make things easier.  The setup Wizard is not necessary for the process.  I should think this is true for the Mac.
    ==================================================​===================================
    If you cannot get someone from the Printing group to answer your specific concern,
    you may have succes with the following:
    The User Guide has pretty good detail on how to set up the networking necessary to get the printer connected to either a PC or Mac environment.  Assuming you can get the printer to "Reset network settings" (User Guide, page 222), then you can re-enter the information you require manually.  It is a bit tedious, but is may work better than fighting the Wizard.
    OfficeJet Pro 8600 User Guide
    You may be able to circumvent sone or all of this by reinstalling the Full Feature Software for your printer -- that assumes you are first able to "reset network settings", at least, and get a printout test page to verify that the reset actually worked.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus (UK purchase) will not connect to wired ethernet network

    Hi
    We have an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus (purchase here in UK approx 9-12 months ago) which has sort of worked OK wirelessly but finance industry compliance requirements now require me to connect to it by normal ethernet cable. 
    When I disable wireless and plug in a (tested and working) ethernet cable it does nothing.  I have done a factory reset (via the screen menu) to remove any previous settings.  Turned off, turned on, still nothing.
    I have restored Network defaults also using the menu command within settings - network; no difference.
    In Network - wired summary the screen says:
    IP: Not applicable
    MAC: xxxxxxxxxxx (not for sharing here)
    Hostname: xxxxxxxxx (not for sharing here)
    Wireless Direct: Off
    I have tried it with IP settings turned to Automatic (DHCP) - no joy.
    I have tried it with IP settings turned to Manual(Static) - when i then type in the static IP address that is within the router range (but outside the DHCP reserved range) as soon as I press Done, the settings are lost i.e. 192.168.0.102 - push 'Done' and the IP goes back to 000.000.000.000
    The same when entering the default gateway and subnet masks.
    I have restored to defaults several times, tried manual and DHCP several times, no joy.
    Please let me have some serious suggestions at the earliest opportunity.  Just to reiterate I have tested the network connection and cables with other ethernet equipment and they are working.  My questions include:
    1.   Anyone know how to make this printer actually store the manually entered IP addresses etc?
    2.  What am I missing about the wired setup?
    3.  Is this a known issue?  Is it an issue with the hardware ethernet socket or something?
    4.  Also in this forum there are references to a Hard Factory reset that is apparently different to the menu 'Reset to Factory Defaults' but links to an article about it just give a 404 error, not found.  [Does HP actually have two different levels of Factory Default and if so, God knows why!  Does anyone know a working link to this information please?

    Hello Qw8, welcome to the forums!
    I read your post about not being able to successfully install your Officejet 8600 Plus to your wired network. I will do my best to find suggestions for you to try. I would first like to know which Operating System you are installing the printer on to help me with my research.
    If you haven't already, run the installation (HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer - N911g Drivers) with your security and firewalls disabled to see if the proper connection can be made.
    I do see you ask about other resets and there are others however, at this stage they may not be needed. If they are, I can send you a private message at that time with that information.
    Please let me know your OS and we will go from there!

  • Wireless Printing to OfficeJet Pro 8600 Connected to Ethernet Network

    We have an OfficeJet Pro 8600 that is connected to our home's Ethernet network and would like to print to it from devices such as laptops, phones, and tablets.  Any attempt to turn the printer's wireless capabilities on results in a command to disconnect the Ethernet cable, which we would prefer not to do.
    Is there any way to "have our cake and eat it too", retaining the Ethernet connection while having the ability to print wirelessly?  While useful, HP's ePrint doesn't offer the direct-from-application convenience we desire.

    Hi,
    By the book, the following setup should work:
    Please use the following manual to set them up:

  • Windows 7 / HP OfficeJet Pro 8600: Unsuccessful Network Installation

    OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
    Printer: HP OfficeJet Pro 8600
    My goal is to enable the "Scan to Computer" feature of my HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 on Windows 7, which doesn't find my computer when I try to use it from the printer's front panel touchscreen. The printer's connected to my local wifi network.
    In the setup program on the included CD, I've opted NOT to install any software aside from the "HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Basic Device Software", which installs fine. I also opt NOT to install the "ePrint" web services or allow it to connect to the network for updates or share usage statistics or any of that.
    During the setup program, the "Network Check" correctly finds the printer on my local wifi network, but the following "Network Printer Installation" part always fails, resulting in "Unsuccessful Network Installation", no other details. The result is the same if I retry with Microsoft Security Essentials' "Real-time protection" off, or with Windows Firewall off. No other anti-virus is running.
    The "HP Scan" program fails immediately with the error message "The HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 was not found."
    Under Control Panel > "Devices and Printers" I see an HP OfficeJet Pro 8600. Windows installs and prints with this printer just fine without the provided CD.
    Under Control Panel > "Device Manager" the printer is NOT listed under "Imaging Devices".
    My Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service is running.
    Any clues?

    (I never managed to solve this, how did this get marked "Solved?") 
    I'd be happy with either means of starting a scan. Here are some things I've tried since my last post (sorry, I gave up on this for 2 months and am now trying to get it working again):
    I've got the printer connected by USB as well as on the network, and running the software installer with the USB connection option just gets stuck forever at the "Connect the USB Cable" screen. The USB cable is connected.
    Under "Scanner Actions" on the HP Printer Assistant application, clicking "Manage Scan to Computer" reports: "Scan to Computer is enabled. You can start a scan from the printer. Your computer is not listed as an available computer on the printer's control panel. Please restart your printer and try again." Tried restarting/unplugging the printer, but that doesn't change anything.
    The HP Print and Scan Doctor's first screen reports the State as "Installed" for USB and "Not Installed" for the network. It returns these results for the various steps of "Fix Scanning":
    Device Manager: Pass
    Driver check: Fail ("The Scan driver is unable to communicate with the product.")
    Windows (WIA) scan: Fail (no information given, other than instructions to reboot)
    HP Twain scan: Fail ("Scanner communication cannot be established..." dialog)
    Registry: Pass
    HP Scan: Pass
    Since my last post I've also updated the printer's firmware, which seemed to work fine. It's now on firmware version CLP1CN1304AR.
    The Windows event log reports several warnings from the software installer saying "Failed to connect to server. Error: 0x800401F0" with Event ID 1015, is this important? Tried it again with Windows Firewall off for both public and private networks, no difference.
