I'm trying to download the drivers for this printer but the HP driver never comes up when I select the printer number.
Any thoughts?

HP OfficeJet 8600 All-In-One cannot be connected

I just bought a new HP OfficeJet 8600 All-in-One printer. It's a wireless unit and initally connected to my home
network no problem and I could print from several puters in the house fine. I have Bell internet with a wireless
home router that uses DHCP.
Today, my wifes win7 laptop is unable to print to it for some reason. I tried to delete the printer from her computer
and re-add it however, the computer when I run the HP installer software to reach the printer, it isn't able to connect
to it. During the installation, it say:
Discovering Device....
and never leaves there.
However, I can define the printer in Windows "Add a Printer" using the HP OfficeJet K8600 printer driver.
One thing on the IP address that the printer is using. I checked it on the printers configuration vs what the windows
printer definition had and it was wrong on the printer driver configuration. I used the HP utility to update the printer IP
address to what the printer is currently using.
Any ideas on why the printer cannot be re-added using the HP all-in-one installer?

I would bet it is your router. Its supplied by your ISP, right?
First, restart the router by pulling its power cord momentarily.
Next, set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS. This is Google DNS. You can choose another external DNS if you wish.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

Does the Officejet 8600 Pro Premium N911n printer perform auto tray selection?

I have an Officejet 8600 Pro Pemium N911n printer, CN577A with two trays. My Operating Sysem is Win8,64bit,there are no error messages, no system changes.
The HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in One series User Guide states that By default, the printer draws media from Tray1.If Tray1 is empty, the printer draws media from Tray2(if it is installed and loaded with media. I have Tray lock disabled ,Tay1 the default Tray and Automatic Tray Selection enabled.Prior to making these selections,I contacted HP support via email to report that this option was not working. I received a response that there is no method that will automatically select a tray when one tray is empty. The User 's manual states otherwise..This option might not work but it is part of this series of printers. I have both trays loaded and I will determine if it works after Tray1 is empty. Does anyone have one of these printers and the auto Tray function works? Thanks.
This question was solved.

Scan to computer as PDF for HP OfficeJet 8600 Pro plus e results in a single pdf doc.

Hello. I have previously scanned docs to my computer running Windows 7 Ultimate using this printer with no problem. However, I think I did them as "everyday" format. Today I had 5 documents to scan to computer so I could have elec copies and also could attach them to emails. When I was done with one doc the screen asked if I had another to scan. I clicked "yes" rather than done. To my dismay all the docs came out fine as PDF on my computer, but they were all connected as a single doc.??? How do I do multiple can to computer as PDF so they result in separate docs?
Thanks

Hello @mjomega,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand your Officejet 8600 is scanning single documents, instead of multiple documents. I will do my best to assist you! When scanning multiple pages, it's a lot easier to perform this option from your computer using the HP software.
I am going to provide a HP document on How to Scan: Windows 7. Click on "How to scan multiple pages into a single file". This will allow you to scan from the Printer Assistant.
Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

Hp officejet 8600 fax send failed

This is a new HP 8600 that I bought a while ago and set up. it has never faxed and now I'm a little up set. I have FIOS and I have a DSL filter on the phone end. It dials and the other phone with go to tone but my machine won't handshake and connect. It has passed all the test. I have tried both from the printer itself and the computer and the same result. Had to go pay to fax some important documents but that's why I bought this printer. I've had on in the past with no problems. Any suggestions. BTW, I'm computer savye

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @that4u2c ,
I read your post about your Fax functions not working properly from your Officejet 8600 model. My suggestion would be to try out the troubleshooting steps for this type of issue from the guide below.
Cannot Send or Receive Faxes
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you, such as a replacement or trade in. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and if you are calling outside of the US/Canada region,: click here.

Officejet 8600 driver won't install on a 64-bit Server 2008 R2

Hello, this has been discussed before but it looks like the links with resolutions are dead. A client has an Officejet 8600 all-in-one printer and wants to use the 2008 R2 64-bit server as a desktop with the printer directly attached. One of the proposed solutions was to install Desktop Expeirence, which I did, but still no go. I get a message that the drivers are only for Win XP, 2003, and Vista - the current system is not compatible. The problem is, the drivers are downloaded from the HP site when 2008 R2 64-bit is specified. Are there any workarounds, or should I just consider this printer uninstallable? Thanks.

Hi Stephen00101010 , sorry to hear that you are unable to get the printer installed. I do apologize for the inconvenience, however the operating system that you are using is not supported with the use of this printer.
Thank you.

HP Officejet 8600 is not recognized by Acrobat 9.5.5 when trying to scan

When trying to create a PDF document via Acrobat (file/create PDF), Adobe does not recognize my new HP Officejet 8600 print/scan/fax/etc. Any solutions?

Make sure you have the latest and greatest TWAIN driver from HP.
If that does not work output TIFF files from the scanner then use Acrobat to create PDF from the TIFF.
Be well...

White type showing as black on officejet 8600

Here is a good one...
Just purchased the new Officejet 8600 and everything appeared ok with the set up. However, the first ID document I tried to print failed to print properly.
In the document, I have an number of black areas with white type. When it prints, the white type changes to black and therefore cannot be seen. In addition, this does not happen throughout the whole document. There are sections that change to the color black and there are some that stay reversed. To compound the issue, the color change is inconsistent within the same line of text ????
I contacted HP and as usual they thought the issue is with the ID program.
This also happens when I tried to print old documents set up in Pagemaker.
Any help would be appreciated.
Jim

Thanks, I tried your suggestion and it worked !
I didn't think that would be the issue as some text still printed as white.
Oh well...live and learn.

Thanks
Jami

Let's set a static IP address in this manner for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS. This is Google DNS. You can choose another external DNS if you wish.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

Looking for OfficeJet 8600 pro plus replacement paper trays

Where can I purchase replacement paper trays for the OfficeJet 8600 Pro Plus printer?
I am NOT looking for the add-on paper tray unit, but a replacement for the primary tray. We shuffle various types of paper and envelopes in and out of the tray throughout the day, and we would instead like to keep several extra trays loaded with specialty paper to reduce wear on the primary tray.
Suggestiosn?
Thanks!

Officejet 8600 Plus "scanner reported error" Mac scanning

I recently purchased the Officejet 8600 Plus and have run into problems scanning. When scanning using the ADF, I frequently get a message saying, "Scanner reported an error. The scan was not completed because the operation was cancelled while scanning was in progress." The only way to escape from this situation is to turn off the OJ, power it back on, and then try scanning again. I haven't seen the issue using the flatbed, but I've used the ADF far more than the flatbed. This happens both when connected via wifi and USB, so it's not a networking problem. I have tried scanning via Apple's Image Capture as well as HP Scan and I get the error using both. I have all the latest software and firmware for both the Officejet and my Mac. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the HP software, to no avail. This situation is tremendously frustrating as one of the main reasons I purchased this product was the wifi scanning feature. Without a solution to this problem I will consider this product to be defective and will return it. So, any suggestions as to how to alleviate the problem? Thanks. System info: Macbook Pro 17" (early 2011)OS X 10.8.5

I have an HP MF127fw connected to Mac computers and am experiencing exactly the same problem. Scans from the ADF always fail with that same "scan canceled" message. Preview, Image Capture, or Scan from Print & Scan all receive the same error. USB or WiFi connections make no difference. What is wrong with the HP connection? Here it is 2015 and there have been over 200 viewers of the original posting regarding the inability to scan. Hasn't anyone found a way to overcome this problem?

Hi,
Please follow the steps below in order to automatically print two-sided print jobs:
1. Verify the duplex-printing accessory has been installed properly. To verify this open the System Preferences and go to Print & Fax. Open the print queue of your printer. Click on Printer Setup and from the tab menu choose Driver. Verify the box next to HP Two-sided Printing Accessory (Duplexer) is checked.
2. On the File menu, select Print. The Print window appears.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Click Show details to see all available settings.
Note: If you use Adobe Reader, click teh button to launc the system print dialog.
3. In the expanded Print window you will find next to Copies the checkbox for Two-Sided. Check the box.
NOTE: If the checkbox does not appear within the specific application print dialog, skip this step.
4. To select the binding type click the lowest selection box listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
5. Select Layout from the drop-down menu.
6. Set the Two-Sided option as Long-Edge binding (Portrait), or Long-Edge binding (landscape).
You may save the settings for future use by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset... Any used preset will remain default till another preset will be used.

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
