OfficeJet 8600 won't scan via RDP

Hello everyone
We've just installed a new multifunctional here in our company.
The computers specified bellow are running Windows XP service pack 3 x86. Our printer is an OfficeJet 8600 all-in-one.
We are using it through cable, in our network, for specific computers, which actually are virtual machines in our main server, accessed by thinclients that runs on Win7 Pro x86/64.
So we configured the printer in the web interface without any problem, we also installed the latest software version in our virtual machines and the printer was recognized successfully and is working properly. We did not install anything refered to this printer in our thinclients.
Our issue is the scanner. Whenever we try to open it, when we're accessing the virtual machine via remote desktop protocol, the device is not found and Windows shows up an error saying:
"It's not possible to scan - It was not possible to find the software of digitalization or the scanner is not connected. Make sure the scanner and the software of digitalization are installed properly."
If we try to scan via the virtual machine manager program, which equals to access the virtual machines locally, the scanner works great.
If we try to scan via a local computers, running either windows xp or 7, the scan never fails.
But as soon as we access any machine via RDP it fails, even if it's not a virtual machine, but a local machine accessed this way, we get that error.
We updated the printer firmware to the latest one, avaliable on HP's site - CLP1CN1304AR.
We also tested with firewalls disabled, unsuccessfully.
We are working with fixed ip on it. We have the wifi turned off. We are not using web services. We did not register the product in the installation procedure.
A curious notable thing is when we try to scan from the printer to the virtual machine, the display shows an error after some time saying that the computer could not be found. I don't know if this could be related to the main issue itself, im just pointing as a possible clue.
We would be thankful for any help or idea to solve our problem!
Thanks for attention, i will be watching the topic!

doesnt HP support remote scanning on HP OJ 8600?

  • New HP Officejet 8600 won't scan??

    I just installed my #8600 pro into my wireless network, and the printer is working fine from the computer, but when I attempt to scan to my computer I get a message in the printer window  (to scan to computer, make sure the feature is enabled)!  When I ran the printer disc, I skipped the fax setup, but don't remember seeing a seperate procedure for setting up the scan feature.  Did I miss something on setup??  Can I rerun the software disc??

  • 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.

  • Officejet pro 8600 won't scan through tray

    Good morning,
    My printer won't scan anything through the the tray on top. I currently have an "HP Officejet Pro 8600" that I use for my mac. When I first set it up over 6 months ago I had no problem scanning anything through the tray on top but now after upgrading to Yosemite I have had nothing but problems. When I first installed Yosemite I wasn't able to print or scan but after fixing it with some updates I'm still not able to scan any documents through the tray only through the glass scanner I can scan things.
    Any Ideas?
    Also when I choose HP scan it wont let change the presets from pictures to documents until after I have scanned something through.

    I followed the steps with The Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) Does Not Pick Up Paper - cleaning the rollers and it fixed it. Thank you!

  • HP Officejet 6500A won't scan.

    My HP Officejet 6500A Plus E710n (purchased late 2011) won't scan. Prints just fine. I have a MacBook Pro with OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) purchased late 2011.
    I haven't scanned anything in over a year. When I tried to scan a document a few days ago, the problem began. After researching the Apple and HP boards, I uninstalled the original HP software and installed HP's updated software/updates/drivers. I also installed Apple's HP updates, still won't scan. Keep getting the error message "Scanner reported an error. Failed to open a session on the device."
    I also deleted/re-added the printer and rebooted the MacBook umpteen times.
    I see that when I re-add the printer, it comes up as Bonjour Multifunction (see photo), yet there's no mention of Bonjour in my Activity Monitor.
    I'm stumped! Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

    Since that didn't work, try uninstalling and reinstalling the printer and the HP software.  I'll link the download below, so you don't have to search for it again.  Let me know what happens.
    HP Officejet Full Feature Software and Drivers - OS X 10.8
    I'm also going to include links to the instructions for uninstalling and installing the printer, in case you need to reference them.

  • Officejet 8600 won't pull from Tray 2 after Mac OS update

    I recently installed the Mac OSX 10.10 Yosemite update.  Immediately after, my HP Officejet 8600 all-in-one would not pull from the optional second tray.  There is a 10/22/14 driver update that says it is for OSSX 10.10, but does not fix the problem.  After trying every single solution I could think of, including deleting all printers from my system, repairing permissions, installing the new driver, uninstalling and re-installing the second tray, among other things, nothing worked.
    The problem appears to be that every time I print, it unselects the "Optional Paper Tray Input" setting from the OS settings.  One work around is to go in and make sure that box is checked each time I print, which is a pain and only works about 80% of the time.
    The printer is an office printer and Tray 1 is envelopes.  While I could put regular paper in Tray 1, that would be unfair to the other people in the office who use the printer and would need to manually do an envelope each time.
    I called HP support and they basically told me that it was a bug that was not currently fixed.  They said they would e-mail me when a new updated driver is released (I'll be holding my breath for that).  I'm posting this here hoping that admins notice it and get moving on that update so that I can get my printer back.

    I have the same problem as everyone else in this thread.  I've been on another thread, here:  http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printing-Issues-Troubleshooting/HP-8600-won-t-print-from-tray-2-in-upda... .  
    I have spent hours of time on the phone and in chat sessions with HP, then Apple, and then HP again.  The HP reps made it clear that the problem is in the HP update that was issued to work with OS 10.10, and that a fix would be coming soon.  That was over a month ago, and still nothing.
    Since HP reps seem to monitor this thread, could someone from HP inform us as to when there will be a solution?  The last HP software update for this printer was October 22nd, so you've had plenty of time to fix this problem, which HP has repeatedly promised to do, but failed to do.

  • 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.

  • OfficeJet 7500 won't print via WiFi anymore even though pings are successful

    This is a new OfficeJet 7500 All-in-One that I have been trying to get set up over the weekend but have run into problems.
    First here is the system data:
    From the EWS printer information page:
    Product name: OfficeJet 7500 E910
    Product Model Number: C9309A
    Firmware Version: EMP1FN1126AR
    From the Wireless Network Test Report printed out Jan 23 2012 9:07 AM:
    No problems found. Congratulations on the successful setup of your wireless printer.
    Diagnostics Summary
    Wireless On: Pass
    Wireless Working: Pass
    Network Name (SSID) Found: Pass
    Security: Pass
    Printer Settings Consistent with Wireless Router Settings: Pass
    No Filtering: Pass
    Connected: Pass
    Signal Quality: Excellent
    Other networks detected matching your network name (SSID): No
    Wireless Networks Detected: 10
    Disconnect count total: 32
    Disconnect count (last hour): 0
    Disconnect count (last 24 hours): 5
    Channel: 1
    Configuration Summary
    [Shows correct network name]
    Hardware Address (MAC): [will report if it is needed]
    IP Address: [It is static and working--pings are successful]
    Configuration Source: Manual
    Communication Mode: Infrastructure
    Authentication Type: WPA-PSK
    Encryption: Automatic (AES or TKIP)
    The Network Configuration Report concurs with the info above and also shows that the nearest three 802.11 networks are at least five channels away from mine, but the fourth nearest one (with a signal value of -83: mine is -21) is the same as mine (channel 1).
    The computer I'm using is a MacBook running OS X 10.6.8
    Things I have done:
    Confirmed that MAC filtering is disabled.
    Tried to figure out the router firewall. As far as I know, it is ordinary, and there are no other firewalls installed anywhere. I don't know how to determine if this is a firewall issue.
    Rebooted everything many times, being sure to turn the router back on before the printer.
    Uninstalled and reinstalled via USB cable the full driver package downloaded from the HP website.
    Assigned the printer a static IP address.
    Changed the channel in the router.
    Disabled and re-enabled Bonjour.
    Searched the forums.
    The problem I'm having is that when the print queue says that the printer is ready and I send a print job, it looks for the printer a few moments and then says that the printer is offline. Nor can I print from my iPad or iPhone (although at first I could). At first I discovered a workaround by turning off the WiFi radio on the printer and then turning it back on, and for a very short time (a minute or two) after that, the printer would show up in the queue as "connected" and the job would print. This workaround no longer works. I don't know if any of the changes I made correspond with that.
    Rebooting the printer is another workaround I discovered that continues to work, but only for a few moments. If I send a print job right away or a job is waiting in the queue, it will print it right after I turn the printer back on, but then everything goes haywire again. Rebooting the printer with the HP Utility window open produces alternating popup windows reporting attempts to connect to the printer and then reporting that it can't connect. They alternate at a sort of frenzied pace for a minute or so and then the "can't connect" popup stays. After a while, if the HP Utility window stays open, the frenzied popups return .The rest of the time the HP Utility says the printer is not available, even when pings are successful, even when I can access the EWS, and even when the printer is actually printing a job.
    I can't seem to figure out what Bonjour is or what it does despite reading about it on the Apple site. Here is how it has been behaving: When I reboot the printer it shows up on the Bonjour list, but when I click on it there, it disappears and a Safari popup says that it can't find that printer server. Disabling Bonjour seemed to change nothing, and re-enabling it seemed to change nothing either.
    So that's the data. Thanks in advance to whoever can shed some light.

    Hello Sindigirl,
    Thanks for the detailed information. And from that information, I can allready see that we are dealing with a intermittent bonjour connection. Bonjour is the protocol that all apple systems work with, they have the option to automatically detect new devices in your network.
    From what I can see, you did about everything humanly possible to resolve the issue. If however the router that you used always has worked fine and did not cause any network issue's whatsoever, the giving the router a powercycle should often resolve the issue if it is a bonjour compatible router, if possible, please report the manufactuar of the model that you have and its model number.
    For a workaround so that you can at least print you can use the following steps. Please note however, that scanning will not work with the workaround, since this is bonjour dependant.
    [1] Go to Apple/sys. pref./Printer and faxing.
    [2] Click on the[+] to add a printer
    [3] Instead of [Default] in the upper tab, select [IP].
    [4] Switch LPD (line printer deamon) to HP Jet Direct Socket.
    [5] Fill in the printer IP adress at the the Option [IP]
    [6] Leave the printing queue blanc
    [7] Rename the printer [Should have the IP adress as name at the moment]
    [8] Leave location blanc aswell
    [9] Select [Add printer software] If a list pops up, the use the filter to lookup the 7500 driver, if found or allready reported then click add printer.
    You can now print without any issue via direct IP printing. Please let us now what router brand and model you got.
    Sorry for any typo's.
    Kind regards,
    van Baardewijk

  • HP Officejet 4620 won't scan to Mac with OSX 10.10

    After upgrading to OSX Yosemite, I've had a series of problems with my MacBook being able to find my printer.  I've deleted the printer, reinstalled, cycled the router, updated, emptied the cache - you name it.  Now, my MacBook sees the printer for printing but won't communicate for scanning.  Help?

    Hi there @BillSpohn , welcome to the HP Community,
    I read your message about your scanning troubles and have a few steps in mind for you that should work. Please try these steps in order that I have posted them in. Make sure the printer will produce copies successfully before any software troubleshooting, which will test the printers hardware to ensure the printer is in good functioning order first.
    Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
    Repair disk permissions
    Restart the Mac
    Download and install the Full Driver here: HP Officejet 4620 series Full Feature Software and Drivers
    In addition, download this Apple driver: HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X
    Try scanning now and it should be functioning for you again.
    Good luck

  • Hp officejet 6500 won't scan

    I have a MacBook running OS X 10.9.5 and I'm using an HP Officejet 6500 series. I'm connected via USB cable. My scanner worked fine for months, now it's not working. The error message on the printer says "No Scan Options. Refer to device documentation to troubleshoot." I've gone through all the troubleshooting including uninstalling, reinstalling, and all the updating and restarts. Any idea what else I can try?

    Hi @mk168 
    I understand you are having problems scanning despite your best efforts. I'm sorry to hear that, but will certainly do all I can to help out
    There is no full feature software and driver available from HP, but the OS X v10.9 Mavericks driver for your printer is available through Apple Software Update (ASU).
    With this driver you can still print and scan, you just wont have HP software to scan from. Scanning to the computer from the printer control panel is only available when using HP Scan software, thus it will not work because there is no HP scan software as apart of the Apple Software Update driver.
    Instead, you can scan using,
    Method one: Scan from the Print & Scan window   
    Method two: Scan from Apple Preview
    Method three: Scan from Apple Image Capture 
    I hope this helps. If you have any additional questions are have any difficulty using any of these methods, please let me know what method you are trying and what the issue/error is. You may also find the following document helpful; OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac
