Officejet 8600 wont print

I have two laptops connected wirelessly to my Officejet 8600, and it's worked just fine for months.  Now, neither of my computers recognize the printer when I try to print.  When I go in to devices in both, they show the printer as being the default.  One is a PC running Windows 7 Enterprise, and the other is a Mac.  What is going on?

What is the IP address of the printer, you can get it from the wireless test page. When you say the PC and Mac can recognize the Printer did you try to search the Printer again or it was always there... Looks like the IP address has changed

  • Hp printer Office Jet Pro 8600 wont print from my Mac running Mavericks. Worked fine with PC.

    I am having trouble getting my printer to print with my MAC. It recognizes jobs in the queue, but keeps telling me the printer isn't connected? I have uninstalled and re installed it, updated the drivers. Grrrrr
    Need this for school. Not sure what else to try?

    Hi @zeern2003,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see that your HP Officejet 8600 will not print from your Mac running Mac OS X Mavericks. I am happy to help you with your printing!
    Please see this printing guide, Print Jobs are Stuck in the Print Queue. As it has information on what to do if your printer is offline, not printing, or not responding.
    Hope this guide helps, and thank you for posting!

  • OfficeJet 8600 Plus Printer Wifi not initializing

    My printer has suddenly stopped initializing the WiFi antenna when powered up.  I have not changed any drivers or installed any software that would affect the hardware status.
    The WiFi feature was working two days ago. I keep the printer powered down when not in use.  Power up this morning did not initialize WiFi.
    This question was solved.

    Hello KPharmer,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand your Officejet 8600 Plus is not connecting to your wireless network. I will do my best to assist you! Have you tried reconnecting the wireless on your printer? If not, please follow these steps: (This information is stated here.)
    On the printer touch screen, touch the Right Arrow ( ) to display the second navigation screen.
    Touch the Setup icon ( ).
    Touch Network , touch Wireless Setup Wizard , and then touch Continue . The printer searches for available networks.
    Touch the name of your network, and then touch OK .
    If prompted, enter the network password, and then touch OK . The printer connects to the network.
    Once you have this setup, I would recommend following this entire HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
    Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

  • Officejet 8600 wont install on 8.1

    I recently purchased a HP laptop running windows 8.1. I tried installing my Officejet 8600 All-In-One N911a printer and it keeps saying unable to install printer. When I go to add a printer itscans and it recognizes the printer is there but it will not allow it to install. I have tried connecting this laptop directrly to the printer and also performing the installation wirelessly with the same results.Any Idea why? My other laptops running WIndows 7 and Vista work fine. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi Craig, aka @whitty2525 , Welcome to the HP Forums
    I noticed your post about the troubles you're having with installing your Officejet 8600 on your new laptop running Windows 8.1.
    I'll do my best to help!
    I would like for you to perform a Clean Boot, restart your PC and then run the installation again, here:
    HP Officejet Pro Full Feature Software and Driver
    Hopefully the installation will complete successfully with all of the start up programs disabled. Sometimes there is an application running that can block the install. Turn on the start up programs after the printer installs.
    Let me know what happens and if you do run into complications, save a screen shot and post it here, or write me back with the details.
    Good luck!

  • Officejet 150 wont print full pages in Word

    Officejet 150 Mobile misses printing parts of a page of text in Word 2007.  I created several lines of text and it simply won't print them all.  I then filled an entire page with Ariel, size 11 font.   It skipped printing every third line.  I repeated this with a larger font and it cut the text, horizontally, along the same width lines.  Did the same thing in Corel WordPerfect X4 with the same result.  Ditto in Avery Design & Print.  It won't print entire 3/4" sections across the page.  I've uninstalled drivers/printer, rebooted, etc., several times to no avail.  Print Doctor keeps saying device is busy but it's not.  No print jobs in que, printer was cycled on and off (several times).   

    Hey @dmartin05, 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forum.  
    I understand your HP Officejet 150 Mobile All-in-One Printer won't print full pages from specific word processing programs.  I would like to help.  
    I recommend you try the following steps so we can determine whether this is most likely a hardware versus software issue: 
    From the front panel of your printer, make a black copy of an ordinary full-page text document.  Does the partial page/print quality issue persist?  
    Next, touch Setup / Reports/ and Print Quality Diagnostic.  How does the Print Quality Diagnostic from your printer compare to the report highlighted in the following link?: 
    HP Officejet 150 Mobile All-in-One Printer Series (L511) - Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues
    If you were able to make a decent copy of a text document, and your Print Quality Diagnostic Report printed without any discernible issues then we can safely assume the issue is software related.  If that's the case, please respond to this post and I'll be happy to provide further troubleshooting suggestions.    
    If you find it's the opposite and there are print quality issues from the front panel, treat this as a hardware issue and follow the troubleshooting steps provided in the above-linked article.  
    Best of luck - have a great weekend!

  • Hp officejet 7110 wont print on 11 x 17 paper

    I just boughht a new computer with Windows 8.1.  Set up the Officejet 7110 but cant find an option to print on 11 x 17 paper.  There was an option on my old computer to print on Tabloid 11 x 17 paper, but it's not listed on the drop down menu now.  Any idea's?

    Tap or click the device you want to remove, and then tap or click Remove device or Remove.

  • Officejet 4620 Wont Print Black

    I have an Officejet 4620. I used it 2 days ago to print something and it worked fine. Now all of a sudden, it won;t print anything in black. It also prints things that are supposed to be purple, in pink. I bought all new ink. I aligned everything, and cleaned the heads. My printer is also saying that my ink levels are still low, even though they are brand new cartridges. Can someone PLEASE help!? I am trying to print things for my wedding!

    Hi @mcl5187, 
    I'm sure this has been a frustrating experience for you. I'd like to help. Please begin with the steps in the following document; Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP Deskjet Ink Advantage an...
    If you complete, or have already completed all of the steps in the document above and the issue continues, my own personal recommendation, not one of HPs, is to use the solution offered in the following video.  I only suggest doing this if the printer is out of warranty; How to fix a HP Printer, not printing black ink and missing colours 
    Based on the comments, it looks like this will help

    I tried most of the suggestions in this thread, but stopped short of disassembling the print head. Nothing worked until I saw the video referenced in Sunshyn2005's message. That did work, but not on my first try. For the second attempt, I left the wet paper towels in place for a couple of hours to really soak the print heads. That did the trick.

    Although the printer might be out of warranty, if the issue persists, HP may be able to offer you something. Maybe they can offer you a discount on an alternate model. If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.

  • HP Officejet 7500a wont print

    My name is Paul,
    For some reason I have two computers. One has windows 8 and it prints with my officejet 7500a everytime. But I have a laptop with windows 7 and I have reinstalled the driver like four times. It seems to print at first but later on the status never changes and it never prints, can you help me out?
    Thanks and God bless...

    Sorry that you are having a problem printing with the Windows 7.
    How are you connected to it, USB or wireless?

  • Officejet 100 wont print color

    Hi all,
    I've been operating my printer with just the black ink in it for a while by preference, and now that i have returned the tri-color to its slot in the printer, the printer will not print color.
    When I try to use utilities it says "previously used cartridge installed:  Tri-color"
    when I try to print a test page that includes color, it does not print the color
    when I try to calibrate the color, it says that "the calibrate color procedure is only available when both the Tri-Color Print Cartridge and the Photo Print Cartridge are installed."
    Anyone know what to do?  I don't want to buy a new Tri-Color Cartridge if I don't have to because I will be needing to print with only the black cartridge again after this print job. 
    thanks

  • Officejet k7100 - Wont print on darker coloured paper

    Hi all
    I'm hoping for some help. I like playing around and I want to print on some lazer blue paper in greyscale. However, every time I try the printer appears to ignore the fact I have paper in the tray and seems to give an error of 'No paper'. I have tried changing to lighter paper and it works fine, it only darker paper.
    Any ideas or suggestions would be most welcome.
    Thanks, Ethan
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    What you can try is telling the printer you are printing on transparent paper. THis should make the printer ignore the media sensor that checks for paper in the printer.

  • Officejet 7210 wont print on wireless laptop

    Ok...my printer and wireless laptop read each other perfectly until I got a virus...took it in ..and after I got home with the computer, it would no longer work with the printer. Printer is plugged in through ethernet cable to wireless router.
    Running windows xp home
     by the way it works when printer and laptop are hooked up via usb
    Thank you for your help..Dave

    If you still have the driver loaded you can add it manually: 
    First, verify that you can browse to the printer's internal web page by its IP address.
    1. Click "Start" button --> Printers and Faxes.
    2. Under Printer Tasks, click "Add Printer".
    3. Click "Next" button on the Add Printer Wizard window.
    4. Select "Local printer attached to this computer". Deselect "Automatically detect and install My Plug and play printer". Click "Next".
    5. Under Select a Printer Port option, select "Create a new port" and select "Standard TCP/IP Port" and click "Next" button.
    6. In the "Welcome to the Add Standard TCP/IP printer port wizard" make sure that the printer is turned on and connected to same network that your computer is connected to. Click "Next" button.
    7. Under "Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port" enter the printer's IP address. Click "Next" then click "Finish".
    8. Now, select HP from the list of manufacturers, select your printer from the list of Printer models and click 'Next' button.
    9. If you can't find your printer, you'll need to find the install CD and use the "Have Disk" option to select one of the hp*.ini files. Alternatively, you can select another HP printer model from the same type.
    10. Add the print spooler name and click "Next".
    11. Click "Next"
    12. Click "Next" and then "Finish"

  • Officejet 8600 only printing 2/3 of a page intermittantly

    we have a printer only printing 2/3 of a page. have installed the hp software and drivers and still not working.
    it will sometimes the whole of the page but most of the time just 2 thirds.
    Any ideas.
    thanks

    Hi ALB13,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having some printing issues.
    Just so you are aware, this could be cause by a lack of power on the printer.
    Please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    Please feel free to write me back if you have any other questions.
