HP Officejet Pro 8610 freezes almost daily

My HP officejet pro 8610 e-all-in-one printer freezes almost every day. Blue light is on near screen, and power button light is lit, but neither the power button nor touching the screen gets a response. If I unplug the printer, it reboots and works normally for a while. I updated to the current driver after installation (May 2014) and it still happens.
Product # A7F64A
Firmware FDP1CN1416AR (patch version 0)
I am using a windows 7 to print to it wirelessly. I am connected to a wireless router.
Thank you for your help.

Has anyone ever gotten an answer to this issue?
I own 2 8610s and both of them have this exact issue.

It doesn't appear that HP has any intention of solving this issue. This may not be a universal issue to all 8610 owners, but it is obvious that several of us are having the same problem, consistently, and the only official answer I keep seeing is "Make sure it is plugged directly into an outlet".
I have an 8610, upgraded to current version, plugged into a fully functional outlet, and it is also continuing to lock up, as it has on every version of the firmware so far.
The only additional information I can offer is that I have tried going through and turning off different features and settings, in the hopes of finding a specific item that may be responsible. If I try to change any setting having to do with IPv6, or turn off that protocol, the printer locks up immediately, without showing any changes after power cycling. This happens through the printer settings and through the embedded web server (EWS). I don't know that the IPv6 protocol has anything to do with the freezing issue, but it does seem like a good possibility.
Hopefully one of the smarter users out there can find a solution for us, because we need a printer that works.

HP Officejet Pro 8610 fax error message

Good morning. I have two Officejet Pro 8610s. One is in my office running MS Office 7, the other is at home running Mac.
To conserve power I have both printers set to turn off in the evenings. Neither is being used as a fax machine and neither has ever had the phone cord plugged in.
On both printers I am consistently getting the error message "Telephone cord is connected. To receive faxes, the printer must be turned on. Note that the printer is scheduled to be turned off at XX:XX every (days listed). To change the schedule, use the Schedule On and Off feature in the Setup menu."
Almost everytime I go to make copies or initiate a scan from the printer I have to click "OK" for this error. The error also pops up about every 30 minutes and makes a ding. This wouldn't be annoying at all except the printer is positioned next to my left ear and I"ve been listening to it for six months.
How do I stop these messages, aside from removing the scheduled turn off and on?
Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Hello @drummer12345 ,
Welcome to the HP forum.
I understand that you are getting a fax error message form your two 8610's. I would like to help you with this issue.
I find it odd that you get this message. You mentioned that you have never set the unit up for fax.
Please take a moment and make sure that no cords are plugged into the Fax ports on the printer.
If there are none, go into the setup menu.
Once in the setup menu, select the fax setup option.
Go into the advanced fax setup option.
scroll to the bottom of the list and select restore defaults.
If that does not work try a hard reset.
With the printer powered on, unplug the power cord.
Wait at least 30 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the printer.
If this was happening to just one printer, I would believe this to be a firmware issue.
For this to happen to both your printers, I get a feeling it could be something related to the printers environment.

HP officeJet Pro 8610 can't connect to wireless router

Just bought a HP officejet Pro 8610, switched on the wireless mode. It won't connect to my Netgear router D6200. It tries to look for the networks in the house and the software hangs. I took it back to the shop and exchanged it with a new printer. I tested it in the shop and it picked up the networks but at home it continues to do the same thing, the software just freezes.

Hi,
Try following these steps and check if that may help:
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03806987/
I would also suggest disabling any anti virus or firewall software on your PC which might block the installation.
Be sure to use the latest drivers, those can be downloaded below:

How to connect HP Officejet Pro 8610 to a Laptop that's not connect to the internet

Just bought the HP Officejet Pro 8610 all-in-one for the local Historical Society. Neither the laptop nor the printer will be connected to the Internet. The printer will only be used for printing reports, scanning images, etc.
I have just removed the instruction manual to familiarize myself with the connecting procedure but I notice there are several references that require internet access.
Is there a work-around that allows me to install/connect the printer without requiring access to the internet?
Thank you in advance for your help.
This question was solved.

Hi,
How many computer will be using the printer ? If only one the USB (you may have to buy a cable) is the way to go. You can also use wireless direct to print but this is not reliable:

Officejet pro 8610 won't scan in color

I'm using a Mac OS 10.6.8 and just connected my new HP Officejet Pro 8610. It is only scanning in black and white. I do not see a place to select for color (when you select copy you have that choice but not on scan). It prints in color and makes color copies just fine. I also cannot see a place where I can tell it which folder on the computer to save scans to. Can you help me?

Hi @just1me ,
I'd like to help you be able to scan in color.
Did you download and install the Full Feature Software or run the Apple Updates?
Here is a document for Scanning with the Full Feature HP Software in OS X v10.10 Yosemite.
Try the Apple Software to see if you have the same results.
Here is a screen shot for where to change the color settings, scanning with the HP Scan Software.
After clicking scan, click on the drop down to get more options.
After showing the preview you can select the Edit icon at the bottom for more features.
To save the scan, select the Send Icon.
Hope this helps.
Have a nice day!

Officejet Pro 8610: Will not Auto Answer

Evening all. We just purchased two HP Officejet Pro 8610's and have set them up at the office, however, we have noticed that even though we have the Auto Answer feature enabled, neither machine is automatically answering. Instead they are still requiring a manual "yes, go ahead and answer that" button press which does not work for us as we often do not have people around those machines.
In running a Fax Test Report I got the following print-out...
Fax Hardware Test: PASS
Fax Connected to Active Telephone Wall Jack: PASS
Phone Cord Connected to Correct Port on Fax: PASS
Using Correct Type of Phone Cord with Fax: PASS
Dial Tone Detection: PASS
Fax Line Condition Test: PASS
Language: English
Country/Region: USA
Auto Answer: On
Rings to Answer: 2
Fax Paper Size: Letter
Tone or Pulse Dialing: Tone Dialing
Fax Sound Volume: Soft
Distinctive Ring: Single Rings
Busy Redial: Redial
No Answer Redial: No Redial
Automatic Reduction: On
Backup Fax Reception: On
Error Correction Mode: On
Fax Speed: Medium (14400)
Fax Forwarding: Off
Communication Error Redial: Redial
Our header and number have also been set. At this time I am assuming I missed something in the User's Manual, since this is happening with both machines. Might someone know of what I missed?
This question was solved.

Hi RandyT9,
I believe it is related to distintive ring setting. Have you tried to set the Distinctive Ring feature to All Rings and see if the printer can answer it automatically?
If you using distintive ring service, please refer to User manual on the distinctive ring setting.
If you are not using a distinctive ring service, check to make sure that the Distinctive Ring
feature on the printer is set to All Rings.
Hope this may helps.

HP Officejet Pro 8610 (Network)' is offline every morning

I am running Windows 8. I use IE 11 and Chrome on occasion. Every morning I have trouble "waking up" my printer. I get "HP Officejet Pro 8610 (Network)' is offline". Sometimes turning the printer on and off resets it but today nothing seems to work. I even updated drivers. The rest of my network (excluding printer usage) is working fine. I have not been on a public network so that is not an issue nor has anyone else in our household. I need to correct this every morning problem. Really, any time the printer goes to sleep I have this issue. I'm unsure if I can stop it from going to sleep or not since I can't even see it from any of our computers. Someone please help. I've been dealing with this about a month. I had previously purchased an Epson printer similar and it now sits in a box in my office because of similiar annoying issues. I previously had HP all-in-ones for about 15 years with no problems. This one is starting to make me wonder about the declining quality of HP printers. Please help as soon as possible. My son has a paper due Tuesday and can't print it. Thanks

Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand your Officejet 8610 is offline every morning and it seems like this printer has trouble waking up. I will do my best to assist you! Please follow this entire HP document on What is Sleep Mode? You can try updating the firmware, which should help, since your printer is losing wireless connection when it goes to sleep: 1) Press the right arrow on your printer2) Press Setup (Wrench)3) Press Web Services4) Press Printer update and check for update now Make sure this printer is plugged into a direct wall, not a surge protector. I just want to see if this makes a difference. Another option you have is setting up schedule on and off. This will help with the sleep mode, as you will determine what time you would like this printer to turn and off. Note-If you decided to go down this route, if you receive faxes all the time, schedule on/off might not be a good idea. If you set a time frame when this printer is supposed to turn off, then you will not receive a fax. Also, if ePrint is enabled, this feature will not work. 1) Press the setup menu (Wrench)2) Press power management3) Press Schedule On Yes and set the time frame4) Press Schedule Off Yes and set the time frame I just want to make sure that your printer isn't going offline because of your router, not by the sleep mode. Just in case, I will provide an HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. This will allow you to set a static IP address. Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

HP Officejet Pro 8610 - Extremely slow printing

Hello,
I have just purchased my new HP 8610 All in one printer. I have set everything up wirelessly. For some reason when I print documents it is extremely slow printing. I cant seem to find the problem for this. For a 5 page documents it could take minutes to print. Please help, thanks in advance

Hi nat1985,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Officejet pro 8610 is printing PDF files very slow, and I am happy to help you with this slow printing issue!
For further assistance, I will need to know the following information:
If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the printer is connected, Wireless, Ethernet, or USB.
If the printer is able to make copies by itself.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
If the printer prints slow from Notepad.

HP OFFICEJET PRO 8610 SCANNER IS BUSY

I recently set up a new system for a friend. He is using the officejet pro 8610 with a new mac using osx 10.9.
The printer is set up wirelessly. Printing works but the scanner keeps giving an error that it is busy.
From the printer I can attempt to scan to his computer and it appears as though it is contacting the computer and preparing to scan but it errors out. Usually with a message regarding the scanner being busy.
I can attempt to scan from the computer as well but that doesn't work either.
I have pulled the power from the printer and rebooted. I have done the disk repair and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software from the website.
I also attempted to install the new firmware but for some reason got an error that I had cancelled the process when in fact I did not.
Anyone??

Hello lbotto, and welcome to the HP Forums.
I see you are running into scan issues. I would like to try and help.
I would recommend following the steps in this document on Mac OS X: Scanning Software Does Not Open or Stops Responding.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

HP Officejet Pro 8610 Will Not Print

I have a new Officejet Pro 8610 which has been working fine but today it would not print. Everyting else still worked, the printer is detected by USB and all of the cleaning/ alignment procedures work from my PC as normal. Scaning a document worked OK as well. I tried to run a test print from the printer list on windows, this didn't work either. So I uninstalled the supplied software and reinstalled it again, still would not print. At this point I installed the software on my old laptop and connected if by USB again and it worked fine, printed straight away. The only difference in the install was when selecting which additional programmes to install, one said it was already installed even though I had unistalled the software before. That programme was the Product Improvement Study which I can't get rid of. Everytime it is still there. Is this causing my problems and how do I get it off my PC as I am unable to find it anywhere to remove it. Any help would be appreciated.

no one answered this questio for me or even gave me advice....
I got it to print from explorer but not chrome .So for some reason it decided to stop printing from chrome all on its on.Not sure how long it ill print from ie but we'll see .thanks for no advice
