Officejet Pro 8600 - Can't remove canceled job from print queue

Hi there
I canceled a print job from the print queue, but it refuses to budge! Everytime I try to remove it, I get this message:
I can print other documents, but it's very irritating having this here all the time (and a big red blob on my dock icon announcing a phantom print job).
Can anyone help me rid myself of this spectre of print purgatory?
Cheers!

Try downloading and running the HP Print and Scan doctor. This software is able to remove phantom print jobs for you automatically. The program can be downloaded from here.
As well, for Windows based computers, restarting the computer can also help with this issue oftentimes. Hope this helps.

  • My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air

    Hi,
    My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air. It keeps on showing "The printer is not connected", but the screen on the printer shows connected. I often reset the printer 'EVERY TIME" I want to use it. I also tried to turn off my laptop and printer several times before printing. If I'm lucky enough, it will work maybe for one or two prints. If no luck then I'll have to reset everything again. Sometimes I reset the printer, the printer will not show on my selection.
    This question was solved.

    Hello boojoo1tw,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're unable to print most times with your Officejet 8600. How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB? What is your operating system on your Mac computer? Click here to find out.
    If your printer is wireless, then I would recommend assigning a "Static IP Address" by following this HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
    Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.

    Sorry that you are experiencing this problem. Here is a link that may assist you with the ink system.

    It seems to be a bad print head, or it needs manually cleaned with lint free cloth and water. If these steps do not resolve the issue, contact HP Support (1800-474-6836).

  • Missing HP Utility (Officejet Pro 8600 Plus); need to reinstall - cannot uninstall printer software

    I had to wipe my iMac and resinstall IOS Mavericks (10.9.5).  Printer (Officejet Pro 8600 Plus, 9N11g) is working, but will no longer scan (double-clicking icon results in "original item cannot be found") and the HP utility icon on dock is missing, replaced with a "?."  I located directions to uninstall printer software so I can reinstall... but there is no longer any HP folder or "HP Uninstaller" on my Mac HD.  Neither is there an HP folder within Library/Printers folders.  Spotlight search shows no HP or Hewlett-Packard folders on my hard drive.
    I have downloaded an "HPPPrinterDrivers3.0.dmg" and "HP-Injket-SW-OSX-Mavericks_v12.34.37.dmg," one of which I'm hoping will contain updated software/drivers to reinstall the printer and hopefully the HP Utility so I can regain scanning function, but I cannot figure out how to remove the current printer software, and I do not know if those are the currect files to use.  I understand just deleting the printer will not suffice.  
    Can anyone provide step-by-step instructions on how to remove the software as well as installation (since I am unclear if I have the correct dmg files)?  Thank you.

    Hi,
    First I would suggest repairing the disk permissions, then try reinstalling the HP Software.
    Follow the steps below to repair the disk permissions:
    1. Open the the Applications folder.
    2. Go to the Utilities folder.
    3. Double-click on Disk Utility.
    4. Select the hard drive containing the boot volume.
    5. Go to the First Aid tab and select Repair Disk Permissions.
    Note: This process may take several minutes depending on the Mac and amount of permissions that need to be repaired. The Progress Log will indicate when the process has been completed.
    Once you are done, run the HP-Injket-SW-OSX-Mavericks_v12.34.37.dmg file and follow the steps on screen, be sure to select the HP Scan option while installing to get full functionality of the software.
    Please try the steps above and let me know the results,

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus N911 Tries to Copy from ADF if Lid Covering the Glass is Completely Open

    Hi,
    I just posted a reply to the following regarding an identical problem that I am having:
      http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Scanning-Faxing-and-Copying/Officejet-Pro-8600-N911n-Printer-Tries-to-C...
    It occurs to me, however, that the original post I replied to is so old that it is probably better to post my problem in a new thread.
    I've borrowed some of the original poster's wording since his explanation of the problem was very clear and concise...
    If I have the lid that covers the glass completely open on my HP Officejet 8600 Plus (N911) printer then it usually tries to feed pages from the ADF to copy and then reports a jam since I have not put anything in the ADF. If I partly or completely shut the lidthen it copies from the glass properly. This problem arises when I want to copy pages from a thick book for which it is very incovenient (and not really possible) to hold the book firmly in position with two hands while closing the lid with a third hand.
    I think the problem is that the ADF sensors that detect when the ADF is loaded with paper are normally held in the position indicating no paper by gravity. When the lid is completely open it goes past 90 degrees, so gravity causes them to be fall into a position where the sensors are tripped.
    We contacted Courtney, a Case Manager on the "HP AMS TCO Escalations Team" and she insisted that the 8600 is able to copy from the glass with the lid open and that our unit must be defective. She sent a new unit, but it had the same problem since it is a design flaw, not a manufacturing defect. When we called her back she did not seem to concerned that the 8600 could not copy with the lid open and did not really want to pursue our problem any further. We asked whether we could switch to an equivalent model that can copy with the lid open, but she said that the 8600 is their top-of-the-line model and there is no equivalent model. In the end, she offered to "buy back" the printer.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Is there any fix so that I can copy with the lid completely open? Perhaps a firmware update so the printer realizes that if the lid is open then it should ignore the ADF? I would even be OK with a menu item that lets you disable the ADF.
    Does anyone from HP monitor this forum and can they test this out and report the flaw to the design team, or suggest a work-around to me?
     Thanks!

    Paul, 
    I noticed that when the cover is completely open (90 degrees), there is a chime sound and the ADF symbol lights up in the upper right hand corner.  If I lower the lid a bit, I can press the copy button and get the copy started before the symbol lights up.  This is the same chime and symbol that lights up when pages are placed in the ADF.
    I tried putting shims (small pads of post-its about 1/8" thick) under the bottom edge of the printer in the back.  That is enough to prevent the sensor from engaging the ADF with the top opened fully.  Yipee, hands free operation.  HP would probably say I voided the warranty.
    Maybe the printer was tested on a table that was not level.

    Hi I have just replaced my black XL cartridge and was asked to share info with HP on my  
    HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer - N911g
    part of that info gave details to HP of the actual amount of prints  so I'm really interested to know what the number of pages I printed off is
    does anyone know a way I can find this info out please?
    thanks

    Touch the front panel and use the back arrow if needed to get to the home screen.  Next touch the four ink droplets at the top right of the screen, then touch "Print Report".    Items 12-14 will be the total pages, color pages and borderless pages printed.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One - terrible print & scan options

    I just purchased an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One an the print options look like they were written by someone from the 1990s.  There are no options for lower resolution - only draft, normal, best and no option for black and white - other than grayscale.  The print options box is the default box that was originally develped in the 1990s - no kidding.  I also tried scanning some items and the box to see the scan is about 5" x 5" and there is absolutely no way possible to see what was scanned.  I originally loaded the software using the disk provided witih the printer, but then I went on line and downloaded the "Full" version - which loaded exactly what was on the disk.  I can not believe HP is even selling this thing with these types of drivers.  I loaded the drivers onto my HP Desktop, running Windows 7 home, 64 bit and my HP laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit.  Both HP computers are Intel I7 Quad core computers w/ 9 & 12 Gb of RAM respectively.
    What gives?  Do I need to return this thing because it certainly does not work properly and is not up to the HP standard we expect - especially for the $300 it costs to buy the thing.  I bought this all in one because HP refuses to update the drivers of my older HP scanner to support Windows 7.  That scanner showed the preview with a full screen, allowed me to change resolutions of scans, colors, etc.
    Has anyone else experienced this type of garbage?

    I agree the HP customer services and product services suck. I have an Officejet Pro 8500 and consistently had problems.
    I think I'll change to a Cannon printer or another company. It is apparent that HP does not care.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus Paper Tray Jammed crooked in printer

    Paper tray is jammed crookedly in printer.  It will not come all they way out of printer and will not completely close (remains 1 1/2" Exposed.  How do I remedy?

    Hello @LadyLou1, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you are experiencing jam issues.  I'd like to help!
    I would recommend starting by removing the ink cartridges, and performing a power reset on the printer.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would also suggest following the steps laid out in this document:

    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Paper jams when being faxed on my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-O​ne Printer - N911g

    When I go to send a fax, the paper goes in until about half way then the right side begins to wrinkle the paper and jams up.  I have tried several things to fix it but no luck.

    Welcome to the forums HerkDia  ,
    I have some suggestions for you to try for the problem you're having with your Officejet 8600 Plus jamming the paper when you fax.
    Check out these guides:
    Printer Paper Tears, Wrinkles, or is Damaged while Printing from the All-in-One
    A 'Paper Jam' Error Displays on the HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer Series
    The Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) Does Not Pick Up Paper
    Update the firmware: Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates
    Ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help greatly.
    If the steps do not help any, I would lastly recommend calling HP to inquire about a replacement or trade in.

    Hi,
    From the Control Panel, open Administrative Tools and select Sevices.  Browse down to the print spooler service, right click it and select Properties then click on the Stop button.  Now browse to C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS and delete the job inside this folder - You may need to click a prompt to gain the appropriate authority to open the PRINTERS folder.
    Restart the computer and you should find the document(s) have been removed.

  • Networked Officejet Pro 8600 - One PC lost track of the Printer part

    On 9/23/13 my main PC stopped being able to print with my Officejet Pro 8600n. Everything had been working fine, then nothing. That PC can still scan with the 8600, but cannot print. Of course, I swear that I have "changed nothing." :+)
    The problem persists whether the printer is connected to the router with a cable or wirelessly.
    My #2 PC can still print with the 8600 as it did before so I know it's still capable of printing.
    The HPPSdr utility is bad crazy, claiming that the problem PC is not connected to the internet when it IS connected.
    When I try to analyze this, I get:
    - The network is working correctly. Other PCs can use it to print, the problem PC can use it to scan.
    - The 8600 is connected to the network. Evidence is the stuff that it still does do.
    - The 8600 is in good working order. It does everything it used to do, just not from every PC.
    - This seems to leave a bad driver or something like it in the problem PC. Why didn't the 99 re-installs that I've done fix this?
    I've Googled this problem and read a LOT of defeatist posts griping about Microsoft and HP. I've read about Miracle Cures from running HPPSdr, but didn't experience one myself. I'm concerned that so many have complained of problems like this but there's no commonly known fix.
    I looked at Windows Restore Points on the problem PC and found that they only seem to go back to 9/23 (?). The notes for service applied on the 23rd at 3am mentioned an HP module in the Affected Modules box. ??? I clicked "Show more Restore Points" but it didn't.
    I hope that somebody can square me away on this one, or at least get me started.
    Thanks in advance!
    :+)

    No luck from turning the firewall off.
    Ditto for the power sequence.
    I wonder if there is a procedure available to COMPLETELY uninstall my HP Officejet Pro 8600n from the offending PC.
    I have deleted the printer and tried re-installing from the CD. Also tried from the downloaded latest install package. I'm used to this, as over time one or another of my HP printers has disappeared from a computer. Until this time, it's been a nuisance (but no more) to get them back.
    This time, when I try the "Add A Printer" route:
    - The "Searching For Available Printers" window opens and the printer is displayed with its correct TCP/IP address (192.168.1.103)
    - When I click on that printer and then click Next a window titled "Detecting TCP/IP Port" opens and tells me "Detecting the TCP/IP port...Windows will automatically move to the next page when the detection is done."
    - The next page is titled "Additional port information required". It tells me that the device is not found on the network, and to "be sure that
      1. The device is turned on. (It is)
      2. The network is connected. (It is)
      3. The device is properly configured" (It is. Remember that I can print here from other PCs.)
      (there's more...)
    The weirdness goes on from there. I end up with a screen that says good installation, but when I try to print a test page, it won't. (Printing - error)
    I have screen shots of the entire procedure in PDF form. I'll post them if somebody wants to see them, I also have screen shots from a run of HPPCdr.
    My PC is a Lenovo desktop running Windows7 with current service.
    My router is a Linksys EA4500.
    Now what?
    Thanks again.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus connected to network but cant print

    My OJ Pro 8600 was previously configured and working properly, but has stopped. I was able to print off of 3 computers and a phone. All have the same IP directed toward the printer and the printer has the IP as well. I have reset the network, reset the printers network settings and the set them back up, ensured the computers have the correct ip address for the printer as well. I have tried to print the from the computers with no luck. The printer does pull a proper IP .120 in a .0 network with default gateway matching all the computers which is pingable. Printer doesn't show in the arp table either. 
    The computers can't find the printer, neither can the phone and the same from printer to computer when attempting to scan to the computer. I have checked the WIA on all computers, restarted the service also.
    Also tried manually setting the IP on the printer and still no luck. My wireless range hasn't changed as I'm still within signal distance from the router with a strong signal.
    Tried Print and scan Doctor - no luck
    I'm at a total loss minus hooking a computer directly up to the printer at this point.
    I keep thinking 'PC load letter' and laugh as this must be something small i'm overlooking..
    HELP?  
    Problem solved - full reset on router and network settings on printer.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 can print but not scan

    My printer occasionally stops scanning. it prints fine so I know the connection is good. I tried to scan from the website, and it does so, but then it gives me this frustrating image, telling me to click on the Save icon. Do you see a Save icon anywhere in this picture, because I don't.
    I'm using a new MacBook Pro with updated Yosemite OSX 10.10. I've used this setup before to scan, and nothing has changed. Every once in a while I randomly encounter this problem, and then just as randomly it resolves.

    Hi @alissas , welcome back to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're having scan issues.  I would like to try and help!
    From time to time using webscan, you may come across formatting and layout issues.  I would recommend right-clicking the box on the right, that should allow you to save. I am including your picture to help identify that box:
    As for the other scan issues, I am including a couple of documents I would suggest running through that should help:
