HP Officejet Pro K8600: change static IP address using printer control buttons

Our network was changed this morning and I am working with a different addressing scheme. I need to change the static address for our HP Officejet Pro K8600 which has no control panel on the printer. I had to do this once before and found instructions which (believe it or not) included something like pressing the paper feed button 23 times. It worked but now I can't find the instructions!!!! It's not something I can recreate because it was very specific. Does anyone have these instructions? I need them desperately.
Thanks.

Still not what I needed but I did finally find what I was looking for. Clearly not found in any manual. Here it is for anyone else that is looking for the same info.
‎From a post on 11-25-2008 03:46 PM from KFMiles:
I really hope this helps you. Believe it or not there really is a reset for this printer.
I had put in a manual IP address and forgot one piece of data. Then I couldn't print to it or access it. Basically I was out of luck. I scoured the internet, I read the manual, I used the HP online help. No luck. Finally I broke down and called HP directly. Took us about 10 minutes of dialog and redoing everything I did before (patience here on my part). The tech disappeared for awhile and came back with a new step from the printer guru god for K8600. Seems if you enter the code number 230, the printer defaults are reset to the factory values.
Ahhh, you say what? There are only 3 buttons to press and no keypad. The X and the page button mean something besides print configuration (hold X) or print page demo (hold Page). Seems if you press and HOLD the power button, the X changes to a unit code factor of 10, and the page button changes to a code factor of one. DO NOT do this code with the network cable plugged in I am told by HP .. so read on...To enter 230, press and hold the power button (light goes off but unit stays on), then press the X button 23 times, Let them both loose. Wait about 20 seconds, and print yourself out a configuration page (by holding X until printer starts working to print). You should see that your net numbers are blank. This will be normal with the network cable unplugged. Plug the network cable back in and wait about 30 seconds, by this time the router will have assigned a new IP. Print out your configuration again. Whatever you got is your new number until you reassign it by using the webserver. This new IP address is your ticket to this server.
This makes you wonder what other codes are there that we don't know about.

OfficeJet Pro K8600 looses communication -will not print

This is our main printer in the design area at work and I really need this to work!! Any help appreciated.
Vista SP2 Dell Pavilion Intel Quad 2.33ghz 64bit OS 8gb RAM OfficeJet Pro K8600 on USB cable to main ports
I loose the connection and have to reboot the computer to get it to print again.
It prints fine for several hours or a day or so, then suddenly will freeze part way through printing, or simply will not print at all. In Printer preferences I click on services - Ink levels tab - "computer unable to establish 2 way communication"
Removing the USB and reattaching does not help, nor does changing the USB port used.
Disconnected unit, rebooted, deleted printer icon, uninstalled printer drivers, rebooted, did full install using the HP CD and I still have the same problem after printing for awhile.
HP Diagnostic utility does not detect any problems when printer is not working or when it is working.

Did you install the two HP updates slp_dd_hati_110_107.exe and ConvergedIO_HPCOM_V3.exe?

The A909 series of Officejet 8500 printer's don't work with ePrint. You can use the ePrint Home and Biz app for Android and Semien devices, or the ePrint app for iOS devices. You cannot, however, use ePrint itself. Sorry for the confusion. Below are links to the ePrint Mobile apps compatablity list and FAQ. Hope that helps.

HP Officejet Pro K8600 - Black Ink issue

Hi everyone,
I have HP Officejet Pro K8600, the printer was fine but after I printed on 4x6 HP Premium Glossy Photo Paper now when I print normal text document the Black Color is not too black it is sort of faded black (very dark grey). I chose different presets e.g. Default Settings, Plain Paper Best, Plain Paper Fast Draft, Plain Paper Fast Draft Black and White and set paper type as Plain Paper but the results are all same. But again when I print a full color photo on 4x6 HP Premium Glossy Photo Paper with preset Photo Paper and HP Premium Photo Paper the printout comes fine and the black color is deep and normal.
I will be waiting for your prompt solutions.
Regards,
Mak

I will add the following:

Using windows 7, how do I get my Officejet Pro K8600 to print to 13x19 paper?

I purchased a laptop with Windows 7. Now I cannot get my Officejet Pro K8600 to print correctly to 13x19 paper. It prints onto 13x19 paper but everything is 8.5 x 11 in size. I click print, click properties, change the paper to Super B 13x19, hit ok, the box shows the 13x19 paper with the images filling the paper, I click ok for it to print and it prints the image 8.5 x 11 in size on the 13x19 paper instead of filling the 13x19 paper. I did not have this trouble (and still don't) with my old laptop with XP. Is it the operating system or is it a wrong setting in properties? I have tried to compare the properties settings in both computers, but I cannot find any differences. I don't think it's the driver....please help!

Hello HW,
Try this: go to Devices and Printers and right-click on the Officejet Pro K8600 and click on Printer Properties. Go to the tab called Advanced and click on the button called Print Processor. Select Winprint and click OK. Try another printout and see if it works now. If you still see the same issue see if there's a scaling option on the print dialogue in the application you're printing from.

HP Officejet 6100 ePrinter changed its IP address

My HP Officejet 6100 ePrinter changed its IP address from 192.168.1.9 to 192.168.1.8.
We cannot print from any computer now. How can I change the printer's IP address back?
Thanks,
Steve

Do you have it set for a static IP or DHCP in the router? Normal for IP's to change with no activity as it reconnects to the router and gets a new IP. Suggest you set a static IP in the printer outside the DHCP range of the router.

Officejet Pro K8600 installing on 64 bit and 32 bit drivers on a 64 bit server

I'm trying to install an Officejet Pro K8600 on a 64bit, 2008 server. I can install the 64bit driver ok but when I try to add the 32bit driver and point it to the driver location it ask me for the 'ntprint' file, which isn't there.
As I have a load of 32bit client computers using 3 of these printers, I don't want to manually install the 32bit driver on each client.

Hi Stephen00101010 , sorry to hear that you are unable to get the printer installed. I do apologize for the inconvenience, however the operating system that you are using is not supported with the use of this printer.
Thank you.

Windows Server 2008 R2 & Officejet Pro K8600 Printer - WHICH DRIVER ?!

What driver do I use for Windows Server 2008 R2 and HP Officejet Pro K8600 Printer?
I'm trying to find the correct driver for Server 2008 R2 for an HP Officejet Pro K8600 Printer. This is a large format (tabloid or 11 x 17) inkjet printer. Either I haven't found the correct driver, or I haven't properly discovered the correct combination of settings to use to fix the problem I'm having. The problem is that every time I try to print a document that is 11 x 17, it ends up being printed as if the paper size is 8.5 x 11.
I've seen many people have similar problems where everything worked fine when they were using XP, but when they "upgraded" to Windows 7, they can't print 11 x 17 any more.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer - N911g can not define a custom size paper.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer - N911g can not define a custom size paper. I would like to have a custom size to work with a card making program.

Can you help me out?
I have an HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a
When I try to print to a custom print size (2.75" x 6" in my case), I get the same error everyone else is reporting: "Paper detected does not match paper size or type selected. Make sure the paper size or type is correct to continue the job."
I am currently trying to print using Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 version 14.4.5, but I have the same problem with printing from Adobe Reader 9.8.5 or Preview 8.0.
I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.
My printer's firmware is "up to date" as of 28-Aug-2014.
This is what I did:
1. Open System Preferences from the Apple menu.
2. Click on the Printers & Scanners icon.
3. Click on the + sign under the list of printers to add a printer
4. Click on IP
5. Enter my IP address in the Address field (verified as "valid and complete host name or address")
6. Ignore Protocol field (default is Line Printer Daemon - LPD)
7. Ignore Queue field (default is blank for default queue)
8. Ignore Name field (default is IP address)
9. Ignore Location field (default is blank)
10. Under the Use dropdown menu, I select "Select Software"
11. HP Deskjet 9800 is not an option.
I searched for 9800, but there is no HP printer with that number in the options.
I tried selecting "HP DeskJet 980C - Gutenprint v5.2.3" to see if that would work, but I received the same error message as above. I tried selecting other random HP printers, but so far I've had no luck.
I've been googling about for a way to manually add a printer driver to this "Select Software" list, but I've found nothing (apparently, no one else wants to do this). I did not find a driver download for the HP DeskJet 9800 for OS X Yosemite 10.10 on the Drivers & Software section of the hp.com website.
Additional details on settings for Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 version 14.4.5:
Selected File > Page Setup from menu
Under the Paper Size drop down menu, I selected manage custom size.
- Click + to add a paper size
- Enter "2.75" in width and "6 in" height in the paper size fields.
- Enter "0 in" as the User Defined Non-Printable Area for top, left, right and bottom.
- Double-clicked Untiled in the custom size list and rename the size as Receipt
- Click OK to return to the Page Setup dialog box
Under Settings: Page Attributes:
- Format for "HP Officejet Pro 8600"
- Paper size: Receipt
- Orientation: "tall/portrait"
- Scale: 100%
- Click OK
Select Format > Document and set all page margins to 0.25"
Thank you.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer N911g wont send SD imapges to computer

HP Officejet 8600 pro Plus N911g model # snprc-1101-01
I insert an SD card full of photos into the built in card reader - but have no option to send the photos to a file on my computer. Does this product only print but not send to a computer? I need to edit the photos before printing.

Hi @Rodney88,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer N911g wont send SD imapges to computer, and I am happy to help!
According to your printer's user guide found at this website, HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer - N911g User guides, as well as this guide, Printing From a Memory Card or USB Flash Drive. This printer only supports printing from SD cards.
In order to transfer the files to your computer, you will need an SD Card reader for your computer.
Hope this clears things up for you, and have a good day!
