Office Jet 8600 Premium unable to set printer as default. Error 0x00000709

Have NEVER been Able to make my new OJ 8600 Premium the default printer--Win7x64 Ultimate, McAfee, MSOffice All Updated. This is less than 30 days old!!!!
Installs and seems to be fully functional, Prints a Test Page, & Scans using YOUR software, BUT:
Will Not Scan Normally from Acrobat as it will not recognize (still has my HP 6500 listed which is UNINSTALLED & Registry cleaned ) Can scan using Custom Settings (WT*?!!)
Outlook & Excel "sees" the printer BUT will NOT print Fails to connect.
Checked & cleaned registry of OLD printer info then rebooted as indicated in some of the forums. STILL 0x00000709
Took offline and tried a direct connect using the USB port. Rebooted all and still 0x00000709
I thought initially it was just me. BUT, this is ALL OVER THE INTERNET, and NOT just on the 8600.
I am about to put the 8600 back in the box WITHOUT the packing and SEND it BACK. OVER 20 years with HP, BUT I have HAD IT!

Hey MHz67,
This error is coming from the Windows OS itself and is most likely coming from an issue with your Print Spooler service. I would advise trying to run the Microsoft Fixit tool for automatically detecting and fixing printing problems.
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/printing_problems/
Once this has run are you able to get the printer to be set as default and function?

My HP Office Jet 6700 Premium has suddenly stopped printing from my iPad

I have a new HP Office Jet 6700 Premium
It had been working just fine, wireless printing from my iPad.
iPad shows a window that recognizes the printer, but it does not print.
There is no error message.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The steps below typically resolve the issue you’re experiencing:
1. Power off the printer.
2. Completely power off the iOS devices (hold the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously until a message appears asking you to "Slide to power off". Slide across that bar, and it should completely power off).
3. Power the printer back on.
4. Power the iOS devices back on.
5. Try to print again.
Those steps usually resolve the issue. If they do not, try this additional steps:
6. Power cycle your router (usually done by unplugging the router’s power cord, waiting 20 seconds, and plugging it back in).
7. Make sure that the iOS devices and the printer are all connected to the same network, then try to print.

Two Sided Printing with HP Office Jet 8600

I have installed an HP Office Jet 8600 N911A The two sided printing feature is not functioning. HP's website offered instructions on the OX 10.6 system, but not 10.7.3

Hello,
You should be able to print on two sides using this method for your product:
NOTE:You can print your document on both sides of the paper, instead of just one side. Click on the Advanced button on the Paper/Quality or Layout tab. From the Pages to Print drop-down menu select Print Odd Pages Only . Click OK to print. After the odd numbered pages of the document have been printed, remove the document from the output tray. Reload the paper in the input tray with the blank side facing up. Return to the Pages to Print drop-down menu and then select Print Even Pages Only . Click OK to print.

Gents,

FYI it is working very good by USB, and im using Mac OS X 10.9.3 version
Regards,

Hi Kattoa,
Welcome to the HP forums!
I'm sorry to hear your Officejet 6700 doesn't seem to be holding it's wireless connection but I'd be happy to help determine what the problem could be
I think it would be best if you followed this Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection document as it should be able to help determine why the printer has to be reconnected so frequently.
Let me know how that goes for you!!

Cant set up my HP office jet 8600 printer with my iPad mini

Can't set my HP office jet 8600 printer with my iPad mini

That is not an AirPrint supported printer. Check for compatibility here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
Check the App Store for an HP app that may provide limited printing functionality. Alternatively, you can use your computer as a wireless print server using an app like Printopia. Note that your computer must be on and able to print for this solution to work.

Dissatisfied with HP Office jet 6700 Premium Printer

I've had a HP Office Jet 6700 Premium Printer for 18 months and have encountered a failed printer head issue which essentially requires full replacement of the printer. I've seen many other similar reports by others which clearly indicates this printer has a serious problem with the printer heads. I'm getting ready to replace this printer, which is just 6 months out of warranty, and will seek another vendor to provide printing equipment. Very disappointed in HP's printer product and will gladly provide input to help others avoid running into this problem.

Please read this post then provide some details. What operating system? What are the error messages on the printer or computer screen?

Office jet 8600 won't scan more than one page

My Office jet 8600 will only scan one page at a time. It doesn't matter if I use the document feeder or put the document on the glass. When the scanner asks if I have another page I select yes and then I receive a message telling me the scanner is already in use and can't scan another page. I have talked to HP tech support twice and downloaded new drivers. The scanner worked perfectly until the last few days when it started having this problem. HP tech support was not able to help.

Hi @LonghornJack
I am really not certain what would cause the message stating that the printer is in use when you try to scan a second page, but running the Print and Scan Doctor might help. The HP Print and Scan Doctor is a free utility (tool) that helps to quickly resolve common printing, scanning and connectivity issues including but not limited to:
Connectivity:
USB: Verifies that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product is working correctly.
Network: Verifies that the network connection between your computer and your network is working correctly.
Device Status Test: Checks for device errors such as out of paper, paper jams, carriage stalls, and paper feed issues, and then provides instructions for fixing the error.
Driver Check: Checks for missing or corrupt driver files.
Device Manager: Checks for problems in Device Manager that would prevent printing.
Device Online: Checks if the product has been paused or set to offline, and then sets the status back to online if necessary.
Print Queue: Checks for and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a log of print jobs waiting to print).
Port Match: Checks the port settings for the HP product.
Device Conflicts: Checks for conflicts with other drivers, such as other printer brands.
Ink Issues: Checks the cartridges and ink levels for issues that affect print quality.
Print Settings: Checks and adjusts the print quality settings.
Test Print: Prints a test page for print quality evaluation, and provides options for cleaning and aligning the printhead if necessary.
Scan Tests: Checks the scan mechanism, drivers, and registry entries.
Source:Try the HP Print and Scan Doctor for Windows
Click here to download and run the Print and Scan Doctor >>>>> www.hp.com/go/tools
If this does not resolve the issue, post back and let me know if there are any symbols other than green check marks and what they are next to of course. The wrench is not always easy to spot as the wrench and the check mart are in the green circle.
If you see only green check marks (), the tool did not find any problems.
If you see green wrenches (), the utility identified an issue and corrected it automatically.
If you see yellow exclamation points (), the test failed and required user action, but the step was skipped.
If you see a red X (), follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the issue.
I look forward to hearing back from you.

Office Jet Pro 6835 all-in-one printer

I recently purchased an Office Jet Pro 6835 all-in-one printer. It has stopped printing and displays the error message "there is a problem with the printhead". Is this by any chance an indication I am already out of ink? I don't want to assume this and waste $100 on ink cartridges....Thanks for any help or suggestions

HI RODA80,
Welcome to the HP support forums. I understand that when you are printing a multiple page document on your Officejet Pro 8500a that only the first 2 pages print.
To better understand the issue would you please provide some further information:
1)    What operating system are you using (Windows 7, Mac 10.8, or Windows 8, etc)?
2)    Is this happening for all multiple page documents or just one?
3)    Has a default of only printing the first 2 pages been accidentally set?
Thank you.

Error code 242 on Office jet 8600

Office Jet 8600 quite accepting fax's. Error code 242, but fax test show all connections are good.

Hi @Skylek
According to the following document, error 242 means the remote fax machine is attempting to receive instead of send. Both machines have attempted to start a reception at the same time. On many fax machines, it is possible to accidentally initiate a fax reception in the following cases:
There is no paper in the machine.
The paper is not correctly loaded and the document sensor cannot sense it.
Interpreting Error Codes in Fax Communication Error or Fax History Reports
Recommended Solution:
Contact the sender to make sure that a document is ready and correctly loaded in the sending fax machine. Also make sure that the remote machine is attempting to initiate a transmission and not a reception.
I hope this helps.

tgwright,
Thank you for the additional info. With the print and scan doctor not locating any corrupted software/driver problems its time to look to the operating system itself. Others who have had similar issues with the same error indicate a corrupted registry key causing the problem:
http://goo.gl/t94JG
http://goo.gl/uejgi
Beware these solutions indicate changing registry info (very dangerous if you do not know what you are doing). If you are not comfortable in the registry or have never been there before I would suggest seeking additional support in some fashion (Microsoft/Local IT/PC Repair service/etc).
Best of Luck!

Cannot print office jet 8600 from iphone

Hello, I am using an Office Jet pro 8600. Everything was running fine with printing wirelessly from our iPhones until we switched from an HP laptop to an iMac desktop. We are on a Hub for wireless internet. I have unplugged and restarted the wireless router twice and used the Wireless Wizard to reset the printer but still cannot print from our iPhones. We can print wirelessly from the iMac. Any suggestions? Thank you for your help.

OK, if it works from the iMac, it should also work from the iPhone. Are you sure your iPhone is connected to the wireless network?

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.
