Hp Officejet Pro 8600 Premium - wireless home network printing from multiple devices

We have a wireless home network with several desk tops, lap tops and tablets using the network for internet access. There is only one printer in the home, our hp Officejet pro 8600 Premium. Right now everyone who has access to the network can print. We want to prevent printing from specific devices while allowing printing from others. How do I password protect the printer so that only certain devices may print? Or alternatively, remotely prevent devices from printing?

Well this is a little tricky.   You have a 'home' network so we assume you want everyone to print went they want.  If you are talking about 'guest' that come over and use the printer, the best thing is to get a router with a Guest Network which isolates your home network.
That being said there is no 'password' you can put on the printer , however you can add security.
Start/Devices and Printers/ Right click on your printer and select Printer Properties , select the Security Tab.  Now you can set security.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Premium and OS X 10.8.3

    Hello,
    I had my HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Premium set up to print to a network folder and after the recent updates from Apple this week for the HP drivers I can no longer scan documents to the network folder.  It now says Incorrect Credentials.   It was working prior to the update.   I have tried resetting the settings and no luck.  I can scan to the computer directly but cannot scan to the network folder.   Any ideas?   

    @sthawkins5 - your problem with scanning to a network folder is really advanced and I will do my best to help by providing two links instead of just one.  I have this main HP document about "How To Setup Scan To Network Folder" and should cover the basics.  But for the advanced user, here is a thread that relates to exactly what you are having problems with: "Scan To Network Folder on 8600." Read through this and tell me if it is of any assistance.
    @ohmiss - you would not use bluetooth to print to this printer.  "Email to printer" is called ePrint. You have a little icon (paper with circle behind it) in the upper-left hand corner of the touchscreen display that will walk you through how to set that up.  Unfortunately, there is no such thing as Scan to Phone Number as this printer has an actual land-line plug in on the back of it and requires that to fax.  If you want, it has a Scan to Email Wizard when you double-click on the printer icon on your desktop that will assist you in setting that up.  You may want to contact www.eFax.com about purchasing a monthly plan that allows you to fax from your computer and after you setup ePrint, you can put your printer's email address in eFax "receiving email" section and when you get a fax it will print.

  • How to Change Wi-Fi Channel Used by Wireless Direct on HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium?

    I would like to change the Wi-Fi channel that is used by Wireless Direct between my Lenovo laptop and my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium to reduce interference from other nearby users of Ch. 6 in my condo complex. (I am not using a wireless router setup to connect to the printer.)
    Is this possible?  If so, how?

    Ah... ok.  You are using the Wireless Direct with the printer.  You computer is wireless to channel 6.  That is all you can do unless you changed the router's wireless channel which will only automatically switch on your computer.

    how do i get the hp officejet pro 8600 premium to print from my ipad2 using airprint? The iPad does not see the printer.

    Hi RiverBirch,
    What brand and model is your router?
    First, connect your printer to your router.
    1. From printer front panel, press Wireless>Wireless Settings>Wireless Setup Wizard and follow the onscreen instructions to successfully connect your printer with an IP address.
    Secondly, connect your iPad to the same router.
    1. Connect your iPad to the Internet and download the free HP ePrint Home & Biz app from the apps store.
    2. Connect your iPad to the same network as the printer. Settings>Network.
    3. Use the new HP Home & Biz app to print and scan photos or docs from your iPad!
    Alternatively, you can also perform Airprint on the iPad thru the wireless network from the Photos menu in your iPad.

  • Officejet pro 8600 Premium pick motor stalled error message

    I have the Officejet Pro 8600 Premium printer. I'm getting the message "pick motor stalled" after two and a half months of stellar use with this printer. There is no paper/print jam. I'm using the same paper I have always used. Help, is this a problem with this model?

    Also having this issue with an Officejet Pro 8600 Premium too. Bought it in May 2012 to replace an Officejet 7410. Running on a wireless network to a Win 7 32 bit laptop. Started getting the popular Pick Motor Stalled error after two months of ownership of the 8600. Have been able to get the printer to reset this error in the past with combinations of powering down, running diagnostics, and having the printer execute either a print head clean routine or a print printer status routine - that is up until this weekend. Trying to print tax returns so I can get them in the mail by the 4/15 deadline tomorrow and, of course, the Pick Motor Stalled error shows up again. Spent several hours trying usual tricks, this time nothing works. Finally, as a desperate last resort, I powered down the printer and completely removed the second printer tray assembly from the bottom of the printer. Powered back up running only the single main tray and that did the trick. Printing restored.For those that might conclude there was a paper jam on the machine and removing the second paper tray assembly fixed it, trust me. I have been in and out of that machine. There was no paper jam. There is some glitch in either the electronics or firmware, or both on these printers that is causing all the Pick Motor Stalled errors that the user community for this HP device has been dealing with.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium will not copy or scan.

    Hello,
    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium that prints just fine however it will not copy or scan. When I attempt to copy a document it displays Starting Copy... on the printer but will not copy and must be turned off and on to use the printer again. When I attempt to scan it brings up an error box telling me to check all of my network connections.
    I have already tried the services.msi fix and have ran hp printer and scannor doctor tool to attempt to fix my problem. 
    In the services.msi I found that all services dependant on (WIA) were already running and set to automatic.
    The scan doctor found that It wasn't communicating with the drivers, which I then reinstalled, and restarted the computer. It then continued to have problems with the drivers and asked me to contact support.
    Thank you for your time.
    edit: The printer is also running the latest firmware and I have also checked my anti-virus firewall so that it is allowing the printer through network. (note: in attempt to fix the issue i have both a usb and network connection trying to get either connection to work).

    Hi-
    To make sure I understand this correctly, you are unable to do a copy at the device itself?   This should function without the device being connected to a PC at all.   if this is indeed the case, it sounds as if this is a hardware issue.  I would then check with HP support on your product for warranty repair.

  • Hp Officejet Pro 8600 Premium suddenly printed very slowly from PC

    Hi, and thanks for any insights.
    I have a client with an Officejet Pro 8600 Premium, and printing to this printer over USB has suddenly become very slow.  The dedicated PC is XP with 2 GB of ram and only using 40 GB on a 200 GB drive.  The printer has two trays, with tray1 dedicated to checks, and tray 2 for anything directed to plain paper.  The printer is not connected to a network, but dedicatd to this PC.  The PC is current with updates.
    Checks print at the normal speed, and copying prints at reasonable speed, but whejn printed from the PC anything directed to tray 2 prints at a snail's pace .  This is new behavior.
    I have printed status pages and performed print head and allignment processes.  Still, this behavior persists.
    I looked i the event log and saw nothing that suggested an evident system issue.  Windows update only shows Security Essentials updates for the duration during which the slowness started.
    The PC is not acting strangly in any other way.
    Any suggestion would be helpful.

    Hi,
    The information is very general, this applies for many HP printers:
    Solution 1: Use a lower print quality setting
    Solution: Check the print quality setting. Best and Maximum dpi provide the best quality but are slower than Normal or Draft. Draft provides the fastest print speed.
    Cause: The print quality was set to a high setting. If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
    Solution 2: Check the ink levels
    Solution: Check the estimated ink levels in the ink cartridges. NOTE: Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When you receive a low on ink message, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the ink cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable.
    CAUTION: Wait until you have a new ink cartridge available before removing the old ink cartridge. Do not leave the ink cartridge outside of the printer for an extended period of time. This can result in damage to both the printer and the ink cartridge.
    For more information, see: Check the estimated ink levels
    Cause: The ink cartridges might have insufficient ink. Printing with depleted cartridges slows the printer. If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
    Solution 3: Contact HP support
    Solution: Contact HP support for service. Go to: www.hp.com/go/customercare. This website provides information and utilities that can help you correct many common printer problems.
    If prompted, choose your country/region, and then click Contact HP for information on calling for technical support.
    Cause: There was a problem with the printer.

     HP does not currently produce any printers that can print on CD/DVD's which includes the 8600.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer - N911a printer assistant

    Hi! 
    So, I replaced an HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Plus with an HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer - N911. Subsequently the HP Printer Assistant desktop shortcut disappeared from my computer --  and apparently from the computer entirely because it eludes searches as well. So multiple times (like, 20 times) I have removed and reinstalled the printer on this computer because sometimes -- not every time, infuriatingly -- immediately after installing the printer from the online driver, the Printer Assistant opens -- but there doesn't appear to be a way create a desktop shortcut for it. As soon as I close it, it's gone forever, and it's just not practical to have the Printer Assistant open all the time. The next time I want to scan something wirelessly, I have to go through the process again. It's driving me insane.
    Is there any way to download just the HP printer assistant software, or some sneaky way to create a shortcut for it? It's the only efficient way for me to interact with the printer for scanning (the bulk of the printer's usefulness) at my home office, and if I cannot get it to work consistently, this will be the last HP product I buy.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Cant WiFi connect HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer to internet

    I cant WiFi connect HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer to internet... at least I think that is the problem. I have followed all the instructions on HP Print and Scan Doctor as well as Troubleshoot HP Installation Failure. My router is running fine for everything else and I have entered the static address for the printer into the router.  It appears that my printer believes it is connected to my WiFi (Ihave WPS it multiple times), but when I type it's IP address into my IE nothing shows up. My router doesn't appear to see the printer either. I have the latest driver installed on my computer. I suspect this may be a router issue: new router Asus Double 450 Mbps  N Router (Dual band - but it appears my router is using the 2.4Hz band to communicate with WPS). Windows 7 64. 
    Any help is appreciated!

    Hello NRHII,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're unable to connect the Officejet 8600 over a wireless connection. I will do my best to assist you! I would recommend power cycling the router, printer and computer:
    1) Turn off your printer
    2) Disconnect the power cord from the back of the router
    3) Restart your computer
    4) Wait less than 60 seconds, plug the power cord back into the router
    5) Turn your printer back on, wait for the computer to turn on
    Is the wireless light blinking on your printer? If so, please reconnect the wireless on your printer by using the wireless setup wizard: (This information is stated here.)
    On the printer touch screen, touch the Right Arrow ( ) to display the second navigation screen.
    Touch the Setup icon ( ).
    Touch Network , touch Wireless Setup Wizard , and then touch Continue . The printer searches for available networks.
    Touch the name of your network, and then touch OK .
    If prompted, enter the network password, and then touch OK . The printer connects to the network.
    Also, as I was typing this post TreeFrog posted some great information to follow.
    Have you followed this entire HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection? If not, follow this document. Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.

  • 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:
