Officejet 6600 and MacOSX 10.8.5

I have an officejet 6600 that has been printing off of my Mac OS OSX 10.8.5 for months now. I try to scan one thing and the printer says I have to enable my computer to accept scans by going into HP Utility. I do so, and when I hit scan, it says "Scan to Computer Cannot Be Enabled" and under it says "The HP software required for Scan to Computer could not be located on this computer. Please download and install the latest HP recommended software for your device from http://www.hp.com/support, and then try again." I do as I'm told. and download off the website the only downloadable option HP officejet full features software and Driver- Mac OSX 10.6, OSX 10.7, OSX 10.8. 
Yet, the same thing happens.

I am having the exact same issue. The software is already installed and I have attempted to reinstall it several times following the onscreen directions. The scan feature works great and then all of a sudden it stops working and can't be enabled. Is there a fix for this?

    I recently purchased an HP Officejet 6600 and whenever I put the disk in to install the software nothing happens. How can I run the program to install it and get started using my printer???

    You should be able to go to HP Web site and download the installer. It sounds like you got a bad CD.

  • HP Officejet 6600 and Outlook 2007 unable to send scan to email

    Hi,
    I am unable to scan (HP Officejet 6600) from my comuter to Outlook 2007.  I used to scan whatever I am scanning for the day from my HP Officejet 6600, and then I would see my scan finished then I would hit email scan. I would then recieve multiple errors.
    Here is the process; HP Scan (save) and then I get an error: The HP Scan application is unable to open your application and/or cannot attach the scan to a new email. Please check you email configuration and try again. I then select (Next) I select "OK," which then provides me with another error: This action is not supported while an older version of Outlook is running.
    Therefore, can somebody help me?
    Thank you,

    Hi Joe,
    First, try reinstalling the latest HP software.
    From Programs and Features uninstall the HP Officejet 6600 Basic Device Software, next dowload and install the latest software below, then check for any difference:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-108845-4&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
    If the issue remain ensure that Outlook is set as the default program.
    From the Control Panel select Programs, then Default Programs.
    Select Outlook 2007 from the left pane, ensure it shown as "Outlook have all its defaults", otherwise click the button to set all the defautls for outlook and check again.
    If there is still no change I suggest trying the Hotfix for outlook below, be sure to follow the entire Resolution Section:
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/813745
    If there is still no change I recommend repairing Office / Outlook and check if that may help, otherwise you may need to Reinstall the software.
    You may follow the steps to repair Outlook 2007 below:

  • HP Officejet 6600 and Windows 8.1

    Hi
    Since going to Windows 8, my Officejet appears in the "more" section of the printers, and not on the first list, even though there is room which is very annoying.  When I upgraded to Windows 8.1 I had the @ & " keys swapped, which I put down to the 8.1 upgrade.  However, since then, I have found that if I install the printer from the devices screen, the above problems disappear but if I do it from the HP driver they re-appear.  I want to use the HP driver as it gives me all the functionality - the other one appears to only give me basic print.  I am no technical guru so any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello gupberger,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I understand the printer driver options are not what you would like. I will do my best to assist you! I would uninstall whatever driver is installed and then install the correct printer driver with the Printer Install Wizard. All you have to do is download the tool and follow the instructions provided: HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows
    Please let me know your results. Also, please provide a screen shot of what you are referring to if the issue isn't resolved. Thanks for choosing the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • HP Officejet 6600 Fax Problems

    I have an HP Officejet 6600 and cannot fax to local numbers or some out of state numbers.  I can fax to HP out of state and towns other than my own. Is this due to it being sent digitally?  Can the machine be set to fax analog?
    I have ATT-Uverse for internet and Vonage for my phone service and had Vonage on the phone for over an hour and the problem could not be fixed.  They had me contact HP once again and HP said my settings on the machine are working properly.
    Formerly I had an Epson all in one and never had a problem faxing anywhere with the same ISP and Phone service providers. Any one have any suggestions or solutions.  The places I tried to fax are businesses and I have checked and their faxes are working properly and turned on.

    Here are a couple of steps to try: Here is the HP consumer support page to review. Try these steps and please let us know how it turned out.

  • OfficeJet 6600 - Apps not printing

    I have tried everything, but reset my router. I see that as pointless because all my other wireless electronics have no problem with network connections.  I have tried printing from the ePrint site directly and from my printer.  I've had no issues for months, but after upgrading to HP Connected I can't print my app stuff.  I don't get any error messages or anything.  I choose an app (any one of them), choose Print Latest, choose No for scheduling, then hit ok. Everything seems fine, except nothing happens.  What is up with that?

    Sorry for the delayed response.  If you live in North America and speak English, you can contact HP at 1-855-785-2777 to get live support for your Cloud printer and the web-services such as print apps.
    I was able to test the NBC News print app on another Officejet 6600 and it printed.  Make sure you are not on a guest network and ensure the app you are trying to print is also available at www.hpconnected.com just as a second reference.  If you are not afraid of losing your customized email address, you can go into your ePrint settings and remove web-services then re-enable them to see if that helps. You will have to add the printer code again at the website but this should allow you to print them.  
    Let me know if that doesn't work.  If not, is there a specific app you are trying to print?  I can see if it is a problem with that specific one.

  • Officejet 6600 mac OS X 10.6 wont print but Windows 7 does

    This has got to be a Mac problem...
    I just purchased an HP Officejet 6600 and connected wireless to my network.
    I connected my Windows 7 machine wirelessly and prints flawlessly. 
    I connected 2 of my Mac Book Pro 10.6.8 Snow Leopard machines and although they can connect to the printer, it wont print.  It just says printing in the queue and sometimes will say offline after a while.  
    I have performed software updates on the Mac and have reinstalled the HP software from a fresh download.
    I have even tried this

    How can I get this working like my windows machine?

    Hi,
    Make sure to enable Multicasting support within the router, as much as I aware it should be disabled by default and will more likely cause such behavior.
    To change the settings logon the router home page.
    Click Security from the top menu.
    Check the box next to Filter Multicast.
    Click Save Settings and reboot the router.
    Now check for any change, I believe it should help resolving such an issue.
    If you still see any simialr behavior I would recommend you to contact your router service provided and check for any further settings which may affect Multicasting streams within the network.

  • Busy signal when faxing with hp officejet 6600 all-in-one

    I keep getting a busy signal when faxing with all numbers.

    Hi @pbr69,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! 
    I noticed that you are getting a busy signal when faxing with the HP Officejet 6600, and I am happy to help!
    I would recommend to look through this faxing guide, to make sure it is properly configured. Cannot Send or Receive Faxes.
    Also depending on the type of phone connection you are using you may require a different type of configuration. Please also see, How to connect your HP Fax Device to an ISDN, ADSL, PBX, or VoIP line, if you are using one of those types of lines.
    Hope this information helps, and have a wonderful day!

  • Officejet 6600 paper source

    I recently installed the software for our HP Officejet 6600 and it has been printing fine.  However, when I go to print from word, and want to select a different paper source there is no option to do so.  What am I missing.  I want to print from the upper tray, not the lower paper tray.

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @mcorsiglia ,
    I would be interested to know if you are able to print from other programs, and have the option to print from Tray 1 or Tray 2, or if the issue is only within MS Word.
    Please let me know the above and also which operating system you are running and I will look into this for you!
    Have a great day

  • Officejet 6600 switches itself off

    Our OfficeJet 6600 has been switching itself off intermittantly. When I unpluged the power cord and repluged it in, the printer went through its startup sequence, at the end of which it abruptly shut down again.
    Through trial & error, I found I could get the printer to stay on for longer by unplugging the power cord from the power supply module and then reseating the plug.
    Is my power supply module going bad or is there something happing inside the printer?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi @figure2 ,
    I see that you are having power issues with the printer. I would be happy to help you.
    Most likely the issue lies with the power supply module. Try another port to see if you have the same results.

    I am sorry to hear that your HP Officejet 6600 refurbished printer is worse than your previous printer, but I am happy to help!

  • Can I use the OCR of the Officejet 6600 on pdf files without printing and scanning them?

    Product name: HP Officejet 6600 All in one
    Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
    After scanning hundreds of pages to pdf format with the printer, I have realized that using the OCR scanning feature would have served my purposes better. (I don't have the originals). I would like to run the OCR on those scanned pdf files. Technically I could just print and rescan them all with the OCR feature, but that would be a huge waste of ink, paper and time. Can I run the built in OCR on pdf fles?

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @tahilaci ,
    I read your post and wanted to stop in and reply to you! I am really unsure if there is conversion software somewhere out there, but if there is, you may be able to convert the files, if not, you will have to re-scan the documents. You might be able to highlight the PDF text and paste it into a Word document, otherwise, there's no alternative.
    Best of luck to you!
