I want to share an officejet pro 8600 connected USB to win7 desktop with an xp netbook

Hello,
I have an officejet pro 8600 connected via usb cable to my win7 desktop. I want to share/install the printer on a netbook running winxp. I used to share my previous printer over the win7 workgroup. The netbook can see the workgroup and the win7 pc, but not the printer.
Thanks for your help.

Yes, I have gotten further now. I added the x86 driver, and then manually typed in the \\pcname\printername on the xp netbook. It asked for a username and password which i thought was strange because password share is not enabled. anyway, i read on another forum that you can type any username and leave password blank and it will grant access. and strangely enough it worked. or so i thought. the post also said it would not re-grant access upon reboot of the xp machine, so i tried that as well. well now the printer appears on the xp machine but will not print/open preferences/test print. so it appears that I am still stymied.
see this post where i got this info.

Hp officejet pro 8600 : doesn't scan to computer with new OS

When I purchased my new computer (HP envy 700) I thought I was happy with it. THen it stopped working with my old HP printer because the software didn't match up due to "age" according to help desk. So I bought a new HP printer, the jet pro 8600. And low and behold this also does not work with my computer because of the operating system. They (help desk) set me up to use the online HP WEbScan. But today I am working at home, and now that site doesn't work. HOW can I use the scan option on the new printer if nothing is compatible? HELP i want to use my products they way the box says they are supposed to be able to be used!
More info it is the latest 8.1 operating system for windows, and I tried using the HP print and scan doctor 4.5 and the message it gives me looks like this:
well I guess it wont copy and paste the error message, it says calltodrivepackageinstallreturned error then a bunch of numbers and a webaddress.
Very frstrated PLEASE HELP!!

Hi @teacherbethany,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I am sorry for the frustration you are having, with not being able to scan, on your HP Officejet pro 8600. But I am happy to help you get scanning again!
For further assistance, I will need to know the following:
If the printer is connected, Wireless, Ethernet, or USB.
If the printer is able to make copies.
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.
In the meantime, please try the solutions within this scanning guide, A 'Connection Error' or 'No Computer Detected' Error Message Displays during Scanning.
Hope this guide will help, and hope to hear from you soon!

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:

OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus Wireless DOES NOT WORK with Mac Mavericks Based Network

Replaced my Brother system with the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus yesterday. There are many positive features of the 8600 Plus that prompted me to purchase it...
Modular Design
Large legal sized Scanner
Standard/Legal Paper Printer
Copy
E Print Capability
High Yield / Affordable Toner Replacements
Unfortunately, I discovered the Wireless network capability is less than desirable. After hours of installing, reinstalling, work arounds, internet solution searches, it just will not work. If you are able to get the printer to work on your network (with router), the scanner will not be visible, vice versa, etc...etc...etc...
HOWEVER, I did discover this solution. If the unit is near your base computer, install it to your computer with a usb connection. That allows you to have scanning and printing from that unit. Then you can connect the unit through its ethernet connection to your router. From there all computers can print within your network. It's not the best way to connect a WIRELESS printer, but at least it works.
I'm not certain why HP and Apple can't find a solution, but I never found anything on the net that worked. The problem seems to stem from the new Mavericks update from Apple, but I'm really not sure. I wasted an entire day of productivity attempting to make it work. I'm posting this so you don't make the same mistake. If you happen to know a verified solution, then I would welcome the information. Best of luck!!!

It may be a mac driver issue. Try installing the bootcamp update for your version of vista from here:
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
I'm not sure if this is supposed to work since I've never tried mac hardware at 5ghz on windows before...

Hp officejet pro 8600 connected wirelessly but not recognized

I have an hp officejet 8600 n911a which is connected to my wireless internet. I have run wireless network test results and printer status reports which both show connected. when you touch the internet icon it shows connected also with an ip address. However it will not connect to my computer, ipod, ipad, or any other device to print. The product software will not even ping the device to connect to the printer. It is like it will accept an incoming connection from my router but not send out a connection signal or recieve a signal to print on the same wireless connection. I have verified that it is set up on the same internet connection but the device is not recognized and when I type in the ip address in the address bar of chrome or explorer it says page cannot be opened. However I can email wirelessly to my printer to eprint by using the email given to me by my printer. I am very confused. Any help would be great.
Melody

With the network does the 5Ghz wirless have a different name to the 2Ghz network?
If they have the same network name then you should change the ssids to be different so then you can tell which networks its on.
From what you have told me it sounds like a 5Ghz 2 Ghz mismatch

OfficeJet Pro 8600 connects wireless, but no connection on other web services

I installed my new OfficeJet 8600 to work on wireless network and enabled and tested eprinting and all was well. Every time we lost power the printer would forget the network and I would have to re-setup the wireless connection. I then folled the directions from the HP website to manually set the IP address on the printer, shut down printer and router, restarted routher and then restarted printer. I now connect to the wireless network and can print. HP diagnostics from my computer says connected and on-line. The e-print box had a red x and said not connected. I went to the printer control panel and it shows connected for the wireless, but not for the e-printing - menu says not connected. Even the apps button says not connected, yet I am connected according to the wireless. Any ideas?

Well, the problem has been resolved by uninstalling the software and reinstalling the latest version from HP.
The only reason I didn't try this in the first place was because many of the comments I've seen on this issue before stated they had already tried that and it didn't work. So I saw no reason to waste my time trying something that would be time-consuming with little likelihood of success. However, the printer in question was still under warranty, so i was able to contact HP directly and that's what they ultimately told me to do. I was online with them for nearly 90 minutes trying other things first, but this is what ultimately worked.
If you decide to try this yourself, I'd suggest you be sure to completely uninstall the current version first. The tech. I chatted wtih told me it wouldn't be necessary, but not doing so caused several other problems. I eventually had to do a system restore, then try again before it would work.
So far, so good.

OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus - N911g - refuses to print with an exhausted cartridge (yellow)

Hi,
I owned this printer some months ago, and I have already substituted the black cartridge some times ago.
In fact, I usually use the b&w option to print my documents, and I use very little to no colors, instead.
Before deciding to buy this printer I had read the printer guide, which reports (translated from Italian):
[Printing with one or more cartridges exhausted]
The printer can work with one or more cartridges exhausted. However, printing with exhausted cartridges slows the printing process down and lowers the quality of the documents printed. If the black cartridge is exhausted, blacks are not going to be really dark. If a color cartridge is exhausted, the result is in the grey scale. As soon as possible, replace the exhausted cartridge. Don't remove the exhausted cartridge before you can replace it with a new one. [...]
(screenshot attached)
The downloadable user-guide reports (no translation):
[Color cartridge very low on ink]
To temporarily print using black ink only, click Cancel Print and then re-send the print job. The
Use black ink only? message appears before the job prints. The empty cartridges will need to be
replaced soon.
(screenshot attached)
So, when I decided to go for this printer, knowing I substantially use black only for my studies and my work, I did take care of reading the entire printer guide and look for these specific official declarations by HP on the printer functionalities.
Additionally, I took care of disabling any HP protection and pages control on the cartridges before installing them, using the printer menu.
Today, instead, I've found out the printer won't print with an exhausted yellow cartridge. This is what the message window says (translated freely, again, from Italian):
[Exhausted cartridge]
HP 951 SETUP Yellow
Replace the cartridges in the list to be able to print.
HP advises not to remove the cartridge until you have a replacement one ready for installation.
Buttons are: [Buy online...] [Cancel printing] [?]
(screenshot attached)
[?] leds to the words I've reported earlier.
I still have the "print just with the black cartridge" option enabled.
I tried cancelling the print and sending the print job again multiple times, as it is described in the guide, but no "Use black ink only?" message appears.
Before invoking and thinking to the "fraud", I ask, how am I going to be able to print, then?

The manual indicates the printer can temporarily use black only once a color cartridge is low. Once the cartridge is depleted it will need to be replaced, otherwise damage to the printed may occur.
HP and other printer manufacturers have different printer technologies for different needs.
Some have printheads built into the ink cartridges. These printers can typically print with one or more of the colors completely empty, or even with color or black (but not both) cartridges removed. The Deskjet 6980 series is an example.
Other printers have separate ink supplies and replaceable printheads. An example would be the Officejet 8600. The printhead in these printers can be replaced if they are damaged by running the printhead with colors out. Some of these printers will allow printing with a color out, other will not. If the printer is run without ink in one or more colors the printer may be damaged, but the user may be able to recover without having to send the printer for service.
Other printers have permanent printheads. To run these without some ink in all the colors would risk causing damage to the printhead due to clogs, air ingested in the printheadvor burned out printhead firing resistors. The Photosmart 3310 series is an example of this type of printer. For printers with fixed printheads this could require service to get the printer to print properly again when the ink is finally replaced.
The document here describes how ink is used. While the document is written for HP Inkjet printers the same principles apply to inkjet printers from other manufacturers.

Keeping a Officejet Pro 8600 connected wireless and by ethernet at the same time

I have one computer connected to this printer by ethernet, because the computer is to far away to be connected by usb. Whenever I want to print off of a laptop or tablet the printer won't print unless I physically disconnect the ethernet cable. When someone wants to print from the ethernet connected printer, they have to go back and reconnect the cable. Is there a way to fix this? Because quite honestly its a PAIN. I have had other printers from other manufactures that I was able to do this with. I find it hard to believe that HP would have such a backwards and utterly inconvenient setup.

Welcome to the HP Community @zhadum5000 !
I read through your post and wanted to respond to you. The printer cannot connect to both wireless and ethernet at the same time. You can connect wireless and USB however, you cannot combine both network connections. Your best bet would be to either stick with only ethernet, or only wireless.
I hope this helps answer your question!
Have a great day!

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!

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?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

(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.

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus cannot print after OS 10.10 SW update

My Officejet Pro 8600 Plus was working just fine with OS 10.9. I got an email from HP that there was updated software for OS 10.10, so I dowloaded & installed it, and now I get gibberish when I try to print anything -- a web page, email, Word document -- similar results for all.
For example, for a Fitbit update email, the title "Weekly Stats" was printed, my name was printed, some images were partially printed, and all the remaining lines/descriptions were gibberish. Maybe 20% of the characters were printed, the rest was blank space. Looked more like Morse code than text.
I reinstalled 3 times with the same results. I installed the update via the app store, same results. I used Time Machine to reset to yesterday, no impact, same results. I can scan just fine. Have not tested faxing.
My HP Laserjet Pro M401dne was also updated and it still prints fine.
Can I get and reinstall the OS 10.9 SW?
Thanks in advancxe for any assistance.

OfficeJet pro 8600 not printing for USB attached WIn7

I have an OfficeJet Pro 8600 Attached to Win 7 Dell with USB cable. It scans very well but most of the time when you go to print, it thinks the USB device has timed out and it gives me garbage about where to send a fax to?
I have other computers runing XP that are Wireless devices, and they take longer but print every time something is sent to them.
This connection is 3' away and the printer default & only printer for Win 7 machine. Under printers and devices it always sees the printer.

Try to run the Print and scan doctor and check the results.

My HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 won't connect to my wireless router

This is bizarre. I have had my HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 for about 6 months. It has generally worked fine, and we have used it wirelessly only. But now it refuses to connect to the router. It can FIND the router, and it can find other networks in the area, but it won't connect to the router. I ran the Wireless Network Test, and the results say:
Wireless On - Pass // Wireless Working - Pass //
Network Name (SSID) found - Pass // Wireless Networks Detected - 9
Printer Settings Consistent with Wireless Router Settings - Pass / No Filtering - FAIL //
So it recommends solution as follows: "1 If MAC Address filtering is enabled, and you would like to keep it enabled, you must add the Mac address of your printer to the list of permitted devices for your router before continuing."
Except, guess what, I don't have MAC Address filtering enabled. I wouldn't know how to do that, much less check for it.
Also, before today, this was never a problem. HELP!
Thanks....
If you are interested, here's more detail and background.
Before today, the only problem we have had is that frequently our Apple laptop (OS X 10.6) has trouble connecting to the printer. This has been odd because the printer is connected to the network, and so is the laptop, but the laptop can't find the printer - it thinks the printer is "offline" (even though it's not). Usually, if I wait a while, it will find the printer, and it will resolve itself work fine. If not, we sometimes have found that it can fix itself if you restart the laptop -- restarting the printer does not make a difference. In fact, I did exactly that today, and it resolved itself. And I printed. Fine, right?
But then I wanted to do more printing, and the problem of the laptop not finding the printer came up again, so I decided to really "get to the bottom of this." I don't remember exactly what I did, but somehow I was persuaded by the online help, that the correct solution would be to go into my System Preferences / Print and Fax, and click on the "-", which de-installs the printer, with the idea of re-installing the printer. But then when I tried to re-install the printer, it could not find the printer. Ugh! Wierdly, it found an 8600 Scanner, but not an 8600 printers. After installing and de-installing the 8600 scanner a few times, I eventually deinstalled everything, and I decided to start from scratch. I got my HP disk, and installed all the software again from the beginning (even though it was already there), and then it looked for my printer, but couldn't find it. So then I got a USB cord, and plugged that in.
So, now I have a situation where I do have a working printer via the USB cord, but no wireless connection at all. In particular, since the Office Jet Pro 8600 won't connect to the router, I don't know what else to do. My Apple MacBook pro is 2 feet away from the printer, and it is connected to the router just fine (as is my blackberry), and I have never before had a problem connecting to the wireless router by the printer.
Any suggestions?

There are two things that can trip the mac filtering test to fail: actual MAC address filtering setup (sounds like this is not the case) and using wireless channel 6 or automatic for wireless channel in the wireless network settings (in the router). Since it does show failed for MAC filtering and you do not use this option, try changing the wireless channel in the router to 1 or 11. Those two channels provide the best compatibility with printers due to less interference. Almost everything defaults to auto or 6 for the channel and this causes a lot of interference. This change should not affect anything at all. To do this, you may need to contact the router manufacturer as the process differs from router to router.
What brand and model is the router?
Has anything in the network settings changed at all?
What version is the Mac OS X? There may be additional steps to take as it sounds like there are two separate issues involved and this could be revisited later.

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.

Officejet Pro 8600 - Macbook Pro and Macbook Air will not print

Products:
HP Officejet Pro 8600
Macbook Pro (Mac OS X, Version 10.7.5)
Macbook Air (OS X, Version 10.8.2)
Question:
Why did my Macs initially print fine, but now will not print at all?
Full Story:
I have a wireless network at my house that consisted of a 30mb cable internet, Netgear 900n, HP Officejet Pro 8600, 2 Dell Laptops with Windows 7, a Lenovo Laptop with Windows 7, and Dell Tower with Windows 7 - All printed just fine.
The HP Officejet 8600 was added to my network about 2 months ago.
I added a Macbook Pro and a Macbook Air about 3 weeks ago. Both Macs printed just fine for about a week. Then suddenly they stopped. I spent about 2 hours on the phone with HP Service, and they finally said it must be my router. So I called Netgear. Netgear was useless! They wanted me to agree to charges for services before they would even discuss the issue.
Due to information provided by HP's service support, and because Netgear will not support their product, I promptly purchased a new router - an Apple Airport Extreme.
The Macs recognize the printer, will print if hardwired via a USB cable, but will not print wirelessly to the Officejet Pro 8600. The PCs print fine.
The frustration that is being felt is compound by the fact that the Macs printed just fine with the Officejet Pro 8600 2 weeks ago, and now the printer just shows "idle"... even with a new router. (see image below)
Please help, I appreciate any support.
As a side note, the HP Service rep was very friendly, and definitely tried to support the HP Product, which is much more than I can say about Netgear.
Thank you,
This question was solved.

Hi,
More likely the issue related with Multicast, which Apple devices relies on to communicate with teh device through the network.
First try unplugging the router for 30 seconds.
Plug it back to the power and wait for 2-3 minutes.
Turn the HP printer Off and back On, then check for any difference.
If the same persists, try changing your router configuration as following
Note: the settings below are not related with the HP product, I provide you the steps as a best effor and those are only based on my own knowledge. you may try modifying the router settings at your own risk:
Open the router configuration page (can be found listed as the Default Gateway by clicking the Wireless icon on the printer, then print a network configuration report.
Click the Advanced tab.
Click the Setup option from the menu, then click on WAN Setup.
Make sure to uncheck the box next to Disable IGMP Proxying and Apply the changes.
Click the LAN Setup on the same Setup menu.
Set the RIP Version as RIP-2 and Apply the changes.
Reboot your router and then check for any change.
I hope you may find that information useful, you may also use the user guide below for further information:
