Office jet Pro 8600 Printing 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 Cards won't print borderless

Using windows 7 operating systems have tried using many programs to print from. Always choose borderless. The best we have done is elementate the border on 2 sides. I don't know what else to do. Anyone have any ideas? These are invitations for a party so a quick response would be appreciated. Thank you

Thank you MalsMom,
I suggest that you update the firmware following the steps in this document on Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates.
Here are the instructions for setting up borderless printing from the Officejet Pro 8600 User Guide page 43.
Print borderless documents (Windows)
1. Load paper in the tray. For more information, see Load media.
2. On the File menu in your software application, click Print.
3. Make sure the printer you want to use is selected.
4. To change settings, click the button that opens the Properties dialog box.
Depending on your software application, this button might be called Properties,
Options, Printer Setup, Printer, or Preferences.
5. Click the Paper/Quality tab, and then click the Advanced button.
6. In the Borderless Printing option, click Print Borderless, and then click the OK
button.
7. In the Media drop-down list, select the appropriate paper type.
8. Click OK, and then click Print or OK to begin printing.
Let me know if this helped.
Thank you,

HP Office Jet Pro 8600 Plus 910 n printer driver does not install on a windows server 2008R2 OS

I recently had a new server installed, a Proliant with a Windows Server 2008R2 operating system. I now just discovered that my All in One Office Jet Pro 8600 Plus A 910 will not install on the Windows Server 2008 R2, ïncompatible operating system. Does anybody have a workaround or solution?

Hello dawnp,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with installing the printer on to your Windows 7 computer.
I suggest that we start off by running the HP Print and Scan Doctor. If the Doctor fails, please let me know where it failed as well as any error codes you may see.
Write me back when you have time and I will be happy to help.

Wireless printing issue. Lonovo Think Pad v. Office jet pro 8600

I went through all 7 of the trouble shooting steps but still can't get my wireless printing to work with my Lonovo laptop T430 and my HP office jet Pro 8600 ..last resort was to join the forum so here I am. all connections appear to be on line and as they should be until I try to print a document. The print window tells me printer is offline but the printer network test tells me it passed all tests and is connected and ready. Using windows 7 operating system.

llbbsis, if everything passes my initial concern is that you might not be connected to the same network on your printer as your computer is connected to. So the first thing i would check is being sure that the SSID on both is the same and not something like "NetworkName" and "NetworkName -Guest."
Next, have you used the Print and Scan Doctor from HP? It is a good tool to diagnose and treat some of the smaller issues with printing:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c03286146
Check those two things first and get back with me, if you need further help I am more than willing to do whatever I can to get the issue at hand taken care of.
Have a great day!

I only want my HP Office Jet Pro 8600 Plus to print in black and white

I have an HP Office Jet Pro 8600 plus and I only need it to print out word documents and do not need color. For some reason the printer requires me to refill my yellow ink in order for me to print a document in greyscale. How can I change the settings so this doesn't occur?

HP office jet pro 8600 - wireless printing problem

I am having difficulty printing wirelessly from my iMac to my HP office jet pro 8600. Sometimes it will print, often after waiting hours. But quite often it does print and when I click on the printer icon there is a message that states: "Ready on Server. The printer is not responding. I have no problem or delay in printing from my iPad or iPhone. Tried turning the printer on and off.

when you set it up with your wireless router did you let the printer detect the connection. If so check the wireless channel the router is set to. I changed mine and wham, now it prints as soon as my finger hits the mouse button. Hope this helps.

Mac to Office Jet Pro 8600 printer

I have a IMAC desk top connected to an Office Jet Pro 8600 running MAC OS 10.6.8. I cannot get the scanner to scan photo's to a specific size. I use the HP Utility but no matter what I try to do the scanned image only cooies from the front right corner of the scanner glass. How do I change the JPEG scanner size and how do I scan whatever size image I place on the glass?
This question was solved.

Hi @paul8588,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that you are trying to scan photos to a specific size with your HP Officejet 8600, and I am happy to help!
I would recommend the following:
Reset the printing system. Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system.
Verify and repair disk permissions. Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions.
What size of paper are you trying to scan on the glass?
If the above recommendations do not solve your issue, please see this guide. How to Scan: Mac OS X v10.6, and you will see some alternate scanning options without HP software.
Hope this helps!

How do I print single envelopes on my hp office jet Pro 8600 premium

How do I print single evelopes on my hp office jet Pro 8600 premium

Hi B4567
I understand you would like to know how to print a single envelope.
I have provided a document on how to print envelopes. There is also a video included.
You could use the one tray for envelopes and the other one for paper so you don't have to keep pulling out the stack of paper to print one envelope all the time.
Hope that helps.

Office Jet Pro 8600 plus printing in code or foreign language :(

I have been having issues with the print on my Office Jet Pro 8600 plus lately. In the beginning it was random but has becom regular.
At first glance, it appears to be printing in German in stead of English. It's possible that it may be code or encryption. Some of the characters run together. It seems like there may be a driver problem. This doesn't happen when I print to other printers.
One line looks like this: hf of sbuf e/!!SDSB !l X !jt ..... It should actually be something any of us could understand. It's becoming costly in both paper and ink.
Any suggestions?

Hello tlc4dna,

Can't scan from Office Jet Pro 8600

I can't scan from my Office Jet Pro 8600. I'm connected to my home Verizon Fios wireless network. I'm running Windows XP. The printer works fine, but I can't scan. When I use the display on the printer I get a "No Computer Found" message. When I go to find the scanner on the Control Panel/Scanners & Cameras - I can see the printer listed, but when I click on the printer, I get a message that reads: "The scanning software could not be found, or your scanner is not connected. Please make sure your scanner & your scanner software are properly installed." So then I use the HP Print & Scan Doctor to download to "Get Installer" presumably to download the software. After the software downloads, there is no difference. I still can scan, & the network is not seeing the scanner. What gives?

Hello,
I see that an issue has popped up that pertains to NOT being able to scan.
Please click on the following link that troubleshoots A 'Connection Error' or 'No Computer Detected' Error Message Displays during Scanning.
Please feel free to write back with any additional questions or concerns.

How do i connect a surface 2 to an office jet pro 8600

I am trying to connect a surface 2 windows RT 8.1 tablet to an HP office jet pro 8600. I have down loaded the driver from the HP web site but I get an error message that states it can not be run on this computer, and I should go to the app store. I can't find any special appnfor this.

Hi 1643, welcome to the HP Forums. Windows RT does not need drivers installed like other versions of Window. It should be just a matter of connecting it with a USB cable, or following the wireless/wired instructions contained in this document:
Install the Printer Software in Windows RT or Windows 8 on a Tablet.

How to Scan using your HP Office Jet Pro 8600

Well, I figured out my own answer because I couldn't find a "solved" topic in this regard. So then I decided to post my findings in order to help the next querier (is that a word = one who queries). FYI - I am not a 'techie' and while I can find my way around a computer it sometimes takes a while. Also, I have Windows 7 on this laptop if that makes a difference.
1. Go to Control Panel and choose:
2. Hardware and Sound, then
3. Devices & Printers, then
4. Fax-HP Office Jet Pro 8600 (Network) or whatever printer choice pertains to your situation, then
5. HP Printer Assistant, then
6. Scanner Actions, then
7. Scan a document or photo, then
8. Save as PDF
9. Scan
10. Save to folder you choose
I know this may seem simplistic to most of you but maybe someone like me is out there trying to find this out and this might help.

Hi Acupuncture,
Thank you very much for posting your solution that you found yourself, on using the scan function on your HP OfficeJet Pro 8600. I also apologize we were not fast enough to answer one of your inquiries on the HP Support Forums. I was able to check your user page but was unable to find your initial post on asking us How to Scan, did you delete the question? Either way I am glad you are now up and scanning from your OJ 8600.
For future reference I would like you to take a look here: How to Scan: Windows 7, here you will be given all options and shortcuts on scanning with or without the HP software as well as some cool features, like scanning from the front panel of your 8600 and adding multiple pages to a single file.
Again I appreciate you taking the time to help the other Community members, so Thank you again!!

Hp Office Jet Pro 8600 A910, suddenly can't send fax. Reveiving faxes are ok.

We can't send any fax, but we can still receive a fax. This happened suddenly without any changes (on device or our telephone line) When sending a fax it dials and gives a busy tone. After that we get a error sheet pointing out Error 388, communication error. Following things we did:- Tried sending fax on our other phone line to rule out broken phone cable/connections.- Called to phone and from phone to fax which worked.- Printed out T90 testsheet. All tests passed.- Tried faxing with ECM off or in other words turned off the error connection mode.- Tried faxing with lower connection speed setting.- Checked other settings to see if there was anything wrong, but all okay.- Powered off, disconnected power cable for at least 15 seconds. Is the fax broken or anything else we can try?

Hi , I see you have been troubleshooting an issue with your Officejet Pro 8600 no longer able to send faxes, and I think I may have found some more information for you. Can you specify your your exact printer model for me? In your post title you say it is an 'Office Jet Pro 8600 A910' but and A910 is an Officejet 8500A. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? Seems like an odd question, but the printer make a copy? It could be an issue with the scanner mechanism.
Is the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or is it in a surge protector or a power bar? We want to connect it to a wall outlet just so we can eliminate the power source as the root cause. See this document for more information about Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector (Note: This document is not limited to Laserjet printers.)
HP regularly releases firmware updates that may also correct the problem you are experiencing. You can click on this link to;Get Printer Updates for HP Officejet Pro 8600 (N911), Officejet 6600 (H711) and Officejet 6700 Premium (H711) e-All-in-One Printer SeriesGet Printer Updates for HP Officejet 6500A, and Officejet Pro 8500A e-All-in-One Printer Series Have you tried to run the Fax Test Report? It's usually located in the setup menu, under tools. The fax test report will let you know if it finds any problems and how to correct them. Once everything passes on the fax test report, you can Test Your HP Fax Machine with the HP Fax Test Service. I reviewed the error code you provided from the Interpreting Error Codes in Fax Communication Error or Fax History Reports document. Error 388: There is too much noise on the line for a valid connection between two fax machines to complete. The noise problem might go away over time. Retry the fax reception when telephone line conditions have improved. Call the telephone provider if line conditions fail to improve. Have you touched base with the phone company to make sure they have not changed anything on their end? Does this same error occur with every number you try to dial? You could see if anything in Fax Sending Fails Intermittently or Fails for Only One Recipient is helpful as well. Please let me know if these steps resolved your issue, or if there is anything else I can do to help. I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks,

Hp office jet pro 8600 won't scan

Wirelessly connected office jet pro 8600 won't scan in windows. I've checked to make sure proper services are running and they are. Started running diagnostics utility and the driver didn't check out but I have the correct one installed and the printer works just fine. Occasionally a message pops up and says that the computer has lost connection with the scanner. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi GradyIV,
I can help you scan from your Officejet 8600 to your Windows operating system. It sounds like you have run the HP Print and Scan Doctor, is this whee you say the driver error?
I suggest using the following steps to delete the printer from device and printers, and the driver from the server properties.
1. In the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder
2. Choose ‘Print server properties’.
Win XP – With no printer selected, click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.
Windows Vista – With no printer selected, press ‘Alt’ then click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.
Windows 7/8 and 8.1 – Select any printer in the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder and click ‘Print Server properties’ above.
3. Click on the ‘Drivers’ tab at the top of ‘Print server properties’ window
4. Choose the printer you want to uninstall and click ‘Remove’
5. Choose 'Remove driver only'
6. The next screen will give a warning, letting you know that deleting the driver package will remove it from the system. Click ‘Yes’ to say that you are sure you want to do this.
If documents are stuck in the print spooler, you may see an error, cancel any documents pending in the print queue, or try restarting the print spooler, then try to remove the driver from ‘Print server properties’ again. If it still won’t remove the package, restarting the computer and the printer should resolve this ‘in use’ error and allow the driver to be removed.
After the driver is removed, open Start > All Programs > HP folder > Printer folder > HP Setup and Software (or the printer icon).
The Setup and software screen will open and you can click on Connect a new printer.
If the issue persists let me know and I will do what I can to help.

HP Office Jet Pro 8600 all in one

I fax documents from word with my printer. Every once in a while, but more frequently as of late, the document will fax, shows send in the log, I hear the the fax completely send and hang up, but then it will fax it over and over, even though I only set it to fax one time. Only way then to stop it from sending is to turn off printer and then I either have to reboot my computer or log off to get it to clear. When computer comes back up, I turn printer back on and it is ready for use. It has done this since I bought it, but like I said seems more frequent.
It is an HP office jet pro 8600 all in one, running on Windows 8.1. It is hard wired, not running wirelesslym with desktop. Anybody have any clues as to what is causing this and how to fix it. It is so frustrating. Thanks.

Hi LFoskey,
Does the printer send multiple faxes when you fax directly from the printer, or only when you fax from Word?
You can check for a firmware update in cause the issue is being caused by the printer itself;
HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a Firmware
HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g_n Firmware (Plus and Premium models)
Please also try the HP Print and Scan Doctor, it can quickly resolve any issues including but not limited to;
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.
Click here to download and run the Print and Scan Doctor> www.hp.com/go/tools
Please 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 from you. Thanks.

Blinking lights office jet pro 8600

HP has been very cooperative in clearing my problem. I am on my 3rd office jet pro 8600 plus, N911g. After a short period the blinking lights appear "turn printer off, then on" no other message. It's OK for a brief period and then the lights reappear. I have done everything HP support says....I have also moved the printer from room to room thinking that might help....still the same problem. Any suggestions, or must I just accept the lights. I am using Windows 7. Also an HP Laptop. Love HP and the printer.

Welcome to the forums Migee,
I saw your post about your Officejet 8600 showing blinking lights and the message to turn the printer off. I would like to share my suggestion that might help!
Update the printers firmware: Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates
Plug the printer in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
Let me know if that helps. If not, please let me know if the printer is still in warranty with HP and we will go from there.
Have a great Monday
