HP8600 Officejet all in one -scanning problem with ADF

Hi there - I have an Officejet 8600 all in one printer-scanner etc. I love it - it copies no problem - it used to scan both from the Automatic Document Feeder and from the glass.
NOW - it prints OK - it scans from the flatbed glass OK - but when you scan a document in from the document feeder - it scans 4 pages 1inch high then the document. This is really irritating as it never used to do this and I dont want to have to scan pages one at a time from the glass.
Thanks for your help!
Stella

Hi @Stella33, and welcome to the HP Forums! I would be happy to help you with your 8600.
Based on your description, it sounds like the issue is limited to the document feeder.

Hp 8600 All in one printer problem with scanning through wired network its very slow!

Hi
i have problem with scanning thru network which takes almost more than 2minutes very slow compared to scanning when printer connected locally with USB. i need some solution to fix this issue. Plz advise me what needs to be done prior to scanning?

Welcome to the community @Larrypat
I understand your printer is not connecting wireless and only connecting USB. I have some questions and ideas for you that should help. Let's get to it!
Could you please remove the USB cable, run the Print and Scan Doctor again and send me a screen shot of the results from running the diagnostic tool?
Also let me know which model from the C7200 series you have:
HP Photosmart C7250 All-in-One Printer
HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One Printer
HP Photosmart C7288 All-in-One Printer
Try power cycling the network devices:
Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer. Run the Print and Scan Doctor afterwards and try printing.
Let me know how it goes and the results

Thanks so much for replying to my post. I tried the fist suggestions and they did not work. So, I attempted to move on Dow to the cleaning of my printer. I am the the first to admit that I'm not the genius when it come to electronics buys, my printer do not seem to have what is described in the photos. I'd like to upload a photo of my ink cartage but do not know how.
Charleshia, you can upload a photo here to reply. Click Reply, then on the window you'll see the image below..
click the one which has the red box, it's where you insert the photo
Going back on your issue.. the basic step would be.. take out the inks then close the door... what error message you got? If it's saying "Missing Ink Cartridge" just hit OK. Unplug the power cable at back of the printer, plug it back in.. Clean the copper contacts on the ink cartridges using a lint free cloth then reinstall them. Let me know if it resolved it or not.. I can only give basic troubleshooting here

Hp c6180 all in one scan problem

Hp all in one C6180 printer/fax/scanner/copier will not recogonize handwritings so as signatures. The letters and number print as characters ? ~ ! and some caps. I Appreciiate your help.

HI there marlenes,
This is generally going to be a limitation of OCR software in general. Despite how nice our handwriting can be most OCR does not pick it up as expected. However, software changes all the time and there some handwriting recognition software suites out there (depending on what you are looking for). Throw a search into google for "ocr software that recognizes handwriting" and there are a few links out there. Let us know if you find what you are looking for.
Best of Luck!

HP 6100 officejet all in one / fax problems

Ok, I have gone through the set up. However, I never see a fax icon on the Director, and when I try to bring up the fax settings, all I get is an error message. I am so frustrated. I am trying to send a test fax to Kinko's, and I keep being told it doesn't answer. Obviously I'm doing someting wrong. I'm a 72 year old women with no 8 year old boy around to assist me. Help! someone please come to my rescue. Thanks.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

You won't see a fax icon in the Director. There is no fax program at all that comes with the fax in the All-in-one (at least I've never seen one) that was for the future. The only thing that it handles is your name and telephone number done when you first install or by the menu. It can't save send faxes either. It can do nothing but print out an incomming fax.
You would have to get a real fax machine or a program such as "Mighty Fax" which you can use to send and receive faxes, and it will save your sent faxes and recived faxes. It will convert images to fax, and all input is user friendly without needing printer cardridges to operate. The All-in-one has never incorporated all fax capaibilites into the 6100 series.

HP C309a All in one Printer - Problems with printing documents the correct size.

Hi I recently purchased an HP 309a as a replacement for an EPSON printer which had to be replaced a couple of times so I thought I would change manufacturer.
The HP printer prints well in post places but when I print from Excel on an A4 scale it only prints 3/4 size on an A4 page. I tried everything to get it to print the correct size. I have adjusted the settings to scale to A4, print boderless etc and it just will not print correctly.
It seems to be ok in Word and many other programs so I don't know why there is an issue with Excel. Iam I missing something, please help.
Also is there any way to default the printer to A4 automatically instead of 8" x 11".

I also have issues using this printer with Excel/ Word.
When I am using Excel or Word I have to remove the HP 309a as my default printer.
when set as default, excel and word just "hang" for up to 3 minutes when opening or saving.
I called HP who said the printer works with all other files so basically it's tough. One of their tech guys tried to sort it out but couldn't.
Has anyone else had this same problem? If so, how was it resolved?
£300 for a printer that doesn't work with MS. It's not funny and I won't buy HP product again.

7410 All in one printer problems with working all of a sudden.

My printer seems to have disappeared from my printer list. I have removed the software and re-installed, it sees the printer but nothing shows up in the printer list like it used to. I have set it on a static IP on a wired network. I started running the HP tech assistant and it failed on the Windows item 3rd in the list. The first 2 items passed. It said to power cycle both printer and computer. Did that and same error again. I can't re-run that thing right now but it starts doing things with the scanner when I try to run its fix part of the program and that is where the error comes in. I can't scan, print or fax from the computer any more. I have other computers here and the software works on them so it is something within this machine. Only software added was PC Speedup from the web. Seems to match that time frame when it was put in. It resolved other problems I was having but seems to have screwed up the HP software.
When I try to re-install the software file (latest from the web site) it sees the printer IP, asks if it is the one I want to install which I answer yes to and it goes on its marry way finishing the installation but nothing shows in the printer list after it is done or after it is rebooted.
Any ideas on what to do next?
Don.

Hello dh-agi,
It sounds like that PC Speedup certainly messed something up (probably in the registry). You may have to do a system restore to a point in time before you did so.
However, before you do that, I recommend 'scrubbing' the existing printer installation(s) and starting 'fresh'. To do this, follow the instructions below:
If you are installing from Original installation CD:
1. Insert CD into drive, and then cancel the installer
2. Open My Computer, and then right click on the CD drive and chose open
3. Open folder Util
4. Open folder CCC
5. Run the L4uninstall (unless you have an HP PC, then run L3uninstall)
6. When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
7. Run Disk cleanup from Accessories\ System Tools
8. Download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player using the link below
Adobe Flash Player
9. Download the latest full feature software and drivers using the link below
http://goo.gl/q2hE0
10. Run the download to reinstall the printer
If software was downloaded and extracted to your system:
1. Hold the Windows key + r key, type %temp% in the run field, then hit Enter
2. Look for, and open a folder starting with 7z (Example: 7zS2356)
3. Open folder Util
4. Open folder CCC
5. Run the L4uninstall (unless you have an HP PC, then run L3uninstall)
6. When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
7. Run Disk cleanup from Windows System Tools
8. Download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player using the link below
Adobe Flash Player
9. Download the latest full feature software and drivers using the link below

10. Run the download to reinstall the printer

1315 all in one scan problems

This printer used to work so well, but now there is no HP director with which to choose "scan" on my desktop or in my "all programs" field. I've tried to hunt through the troubleshooting section to no avail. No matter what the troubleshooter tells me to do there is no way I can see to scan, although it used to.
Thanks, e

Hi again cybasmith,
I just had a thought about the scanning issue. Do you by chance have a firewall or an anti virus protection running? If so I suggest we disable them and then run the Print and Scan Doctor again.
As for changing the password on the HP Forums, If you go to the main page on your profile, you will see on the right hand side "My Community"
Under My Community, you will see " Welcome cybasmith".

3520 All-in-One Scan Problem

Why is there a black line on the length of my scanned documents about two inches from either side of the document. This happens only during ADF scanning, but not when scanning on the glass. Any help will certainly be appreciated.

HP Officejet All-in-one Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) Roller

I have a problem which I believe is mechanical. The roller on the ADF will not descend to the pressure plate when I try to copy or fax from the ADF. I talked to the online chat people and they kept trying to get me to remove the faceplate and clean the rollers (which I had already done).
I'm thinking something which would normally cause the roller to descend became unhooked. I searched but can not find any schematic for the ADF on HP's web site nor on google. Would appreciate any suggestions on how I might repair this problem or obtain a schematic so I could try to repair the problem.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you may be able to offer.

I have a similar problem. It appears that the first gear on the main crossbar does not drop down and hold when trying to feed paper. There doesn't appear to be a broken or missing part. I can rotate the sleeve covering the crossbar and manually drop the gear so it meshes with the gear that drives the pickup roller, but it resets and lifts when I try to feed documents. Still looking for a fix.

HP Officejet All In One-Poor customer service

I purchased an Officejet all in one on 10/20, and had the charge added to my credit card. On 11/11 I had to call tech support regarding an error I was getting about a "spooler". I called again on 11/15 and 11/18. They are now telling me it isn't the printer, but the computer. Only one of the times did I get someone who spoke English that could be understood.
I received my credit card statement today with a charge to HP for $68 more than was agreed. I called the number on my credit card, and Surprise!, I was connected to tech support. I went on line and got the number for customer service. They told me I had purchased the printer through (Surprise agian!) tech support. I asked if they, being customer service, could not help me with the problem, and they said no it would have to be tech support. I now have to wait until mid-day tomorrow to talk with someone, (if they do happen to call). I am so frustrated with HP at this point!! Customer service should be exactly that, customer service!! The issue with my printer is still not resolved, and probably will never be. I have purchased my last product from them!!

This is a user to user forum, for the issues with billing you will need to contact HP.
For the spooler issues someone here may be able to help you if you would read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, Wireless LAN, bluetooth?

Officejet all in one

First with all due respect to anyone who responds I NEED the correct and accurate answer. secondly I appologize for this long post. I find it neccassary to be as complete as possible.I am using an OFFICEJET D 155. I do NOT have the CD nor can I find one to buy anywhere. In my experience I ended up installing the printer twice. Once from the PRINTERS LIST which had OFFICEJET ALL IN ONE listed but not a specific model. I installed from there and the printer installed with the basic functions. I went to the web site and downloaded it again in order to get the "DIRECTOR" software. It installed again, no errors.
I should say that HP also lumped all the D series as OFFIJET ALL IN ONE, again no specific model. Now the question. Does this mean that ALL D sereis OFFICEJETS use the same driver/software? Do ALL OFFICEJETS use the same driver/software. I know this cannot be true. When I have installed a K,V, or G series they are called out by specific models both on the printers list AND on the site. The D series on the other hand are all lumped together.
I NEED someone to explain this to me in some detail. There are many "OFFICEJET" printers in who knows what numer in quantity. They all can't use the same driver. Thats not how the industry works. Why the D is apparently different is a mystery. It would be nice if ALL printers or at least a series of printers from any one maker would all use ONE driver for the entire line. ONE driver for printers, ONE driver for scanners, ect. Technically there is no reason to have drivers in the thousands for similar products from ant one maker.
As an example the BROTHER HL1240 is PLUG and PLY, the HL1440 is not. The 1240 appears in the printers list ,the 1440 does not. In addition I found out that the 1440 shares the same driver as the 1650. Nowhere is this tidbit published. The 1650 IS on the list and can be installed from there as can the 1240. Thi shareing of drivers means that the 1650 can be instaled as a replacement for the 1440 and then rename the printer. The 2 printers DO share the same driver. The 1240 and 1440 do NOT. All the printers of this type are physically the same. Why this has to be so complicated is beyond me. I include this to illustrate the same approach that HP takes. There must be a simpler way!

Which Officejet All-In-One's take 350/350XL/351/351XL cartridges?

Hi!
I am in UK & want to buy a new HP Officejet all-in-one printer/scanner/copier (with or without fax facility).
I already have a fair stock of HP 350/350XL & tri-colour 351XL ink cartridges & bearing in mind how much they cost, I think it would make economic & environmental sense to find a new HP all-in-one that will take these cartridges. I know they fit the J5780 & J5785 but cannot find anywhere in UK currently stocking these models.
Would be EXTREMELY grateful if anyone out there could please advise me on which current all-in-one HP models take these cartridges and/or where in UK I can find the J5780 or J5785 for sale.
Thanks in anticipation!

Mine does this too - regardless of whether the cartridges are actually present. It seems to do with the mechanics which move the tray underneath the cartridge home position. Any solutions?
