Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. No automatic scan menu when documents loaded into the auto feeder?

I have a new Officejet Pro 8600 Plus to replace the L7780 which brought up the scan menu when a document was loaded into the autofeeder. How do I get the ne 8600 to do the same thing. I find that I liked the convenience of the auto menu but it does not come up when I load document(s) to be scanned into the auto feeder. Was this feature left off?
This question was solved.

Hi afredb,
I understand you have a new Officejet 8600 Plus and have some questions about the scan feature in comparison to the Officejet L7780. I will certainly do my best to answer these questions for you.
In testing on our own Officejet 8600, I have found that you would be correct, this is a feature that wasn't transferred to the upgraded machines after they stopped making the L7780. There were a few printers in between the L7780 and the 8600, and they didn't have that feature either. I believe the reasoning behind it was that many people use these printers for copying and faxing as well so having the feeder automatically assume it's going to be scanning would have created extra steps for many others. Hopefully this is only a minor inconvenience and you can still enjoy the printer
Hope this helps, have a great day!

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus suddenly has scan malfunctions

I have an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus which has worked fine up to one week ago. Now and for no apparent reason the scan function has decided to work intermittently. Whenever I use the HP software and use the scan option, the scanner starts up and does its pre-check, starts to scan and then either stops halfway or scans the document/picture but then saves a blank file or PDF afterwards.
I have done a semi-full reset on the printer and set it up again. No change. I have completely deinstalled all HP software, rebooted, reinstalled - no change. I have stopped and started services - no change.
This is driving me crazy as I bought the printer less than six months ago and was up to now pleased with it. All other functionality is working correctly. I can copy documents in a few seconds, printing works fine.
Tried to do a firmware update - message received that it is not applicable. Updated HP Software to newest version. No change.
I am using Windows 8.1 64 bit.
I would like to try a full reset, but don't have this option only the semi-full reset, when I access the service menu. If I cannot resolve this, then I am afraid it will be the last HP printer I ever buy as this has really cheesed me off.
Please help!

I don't wish to be the proverbial bearer of ill tidings but....after spending entirely too many hours talking with several HP tech support "technicians" and on HP support chat sessions with other "technicians," I can tell you that, so far, no one at HP has a clue how to solve this problem. Several times tech support used a remote session on my workstation, but after lots of "trial and error" efforts succeded in restoring the scan function only by running the HP Print and Scan Doctor. I have found that the HP Print and Scan Doctor will always restore the scan-to-computer function - it's a nuisance, but so far nothing else will do the job.
When the 8620 quits scanning, sometimes immediately after successfully scanning multiple documents, I find that my router "sees" the HP 8620 and I can successfully ping its IP address. I can even print(!) but the 8620 seems to be oblivious to its network connection for scanning.
Tech support has offered the usual "solutions" like: turn off the 8620 and turn it on again, update thr firmware, reinstall the driver, use an Ethernet or USB connection (which defeats the purpose of Wi-Fi), and even doing what I took to be a "hard" reboot (unplug the 8620 while power is on, wait 60 seconds, hold down the power button for 30 seconds, plug the AIO in while holding the power button). So far no one has suggested re-installing Windows.
Tech support even insisted that the cause of the 8620 failing to maintain its connection to the network was my having the 8620 draw its power through a multiple outlet power strip. Willing to try just about anything short of examining chicken entrails, I now have the same failure to scan with power coming directly from a 20 amp circuit outlet.
There was a time when a short call to HP tech support fixed the rare problems with HP products.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus - Squeals while scanning

My OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus squeals very loudly while it is automatically feeding paper through to scan the document to a PDF. How do I stop the annoying squeals?? It does NOT squeal while it's printing ... so I'm assuming it has to do with the feeder tray and the rollers associated there ... maybe??

Hey @DEP001,
Welcome to the HP Support Forum! I understand your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer's ADF has become quite noisy. I would like to assist you with this and may have the steps you need to resolve that issue.
The first thing I suggest is to plug the printer into the wall outlet directly if it is currently in a power surge protector or extension cord. This may sound silly but this will ensure the printer is getting full power and may eliminate any unnecessary troubleshooting. If the printer is no longer getting full power from the power surge or extension cord it may give false errors, have poor connection, paper feed issues and quality issues.
Secondly, I recommend you try the following:
Clean the ADF
Rollers are used to feed paper into the scanner, while the separator pad prevents multiple pages from feeding at the same time. If the rollers or separator pad are dirty, the ADF might not feed the paper correctly. Follow these steps to clean the ADF mechanism.
Open the ADF cover.
Figure : Open the ADF cover (Officejet Pro 8600)
Figure : Open the ADF cover (Officejet Pro 8600 Plus and Premium)
Lightly dampen a clean, lint-free cloth with bottled or distilled water, and then squeeze any excess liquid from the cloth.
Use the damp cloth to clean any residue or dust from the pick rollers and the separator pad.

Firmly close the ADF cover.
Try to print from the ADF again.

Lastly, after you've cleaned the ADF, try a 'hard reset':
Let me know if this helps alleviate the squealing sound when using the ADF.
Have a great day!

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus says ink is empty when it is not

Each time I have to change one cartridge on the Officejet Pro 8600 Plus I check how full the other cartridges are. Typically the yellow one is 75% full and the other colours about 50%.
So I buy and install one cartridge. It doesn't matter if it is a black one or a colour one. I replace it with a genuine HP cartridge. That goes fine and comes up as now being full. But immediatly after this it tells me the other cartridges need to be replaced too. I go through all imaginable fixes (including a hard reset of course) but nothing changes - it still insists that the other cartridges are also empty. Of course it now won't print (unless I want to print in black only).
This means that every time I have to replace one cartridge I end up replacing all four. So now I have a stack of old cartridges that are at least half full but cannot be used - what a waste of money! How did HP design a printer like this?

Hello,
Understand that you are facing with replacing cartridge even though they still have ink.
Let me direct you this troubleshooting guide to clean the cartridge contact.
If you're still encountering the issue after cleanin, please refer to the below link to check if there is any out-of-date or missing drivers.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus AIO automatic document feeder paper jam.

While scanning a smaller document using the ADF, it got jammed in the feeder. While recovering the document, a corner of the document got torn and got stuck in the document feeder. Now, every time I use the feeder to scan a document again, that document gets jammed because of a little chunk of paper that's still stuck in the feeder. I tried carefully with a toothpick to grab the little chunk of paper, but I can't get a hold on it. Is there any way to open the feeder a little more? Not just only the top lid of the feeder? Or are there any other ideas as to resolve my issue?
Thx for any suggestions you might have.
This question was solved.

Hello blissteach,
I understand you have done all the troubleshooting steps and the ADF is still not picking up paper on your OfficeJet 8600 Plus. I would like you to try and reset the paper sensor inside the ADF, please follow the steps listed below:
1. Open the ADF top cover
2. Locate the ADF paper sensor inside the top cover. (See image below)
3. Make sure that the paper sensor hangs freely from the ADF top cover, and that the sensor parts are not broken, dislodged, or stuck.
4. Close the ADF top cover.
Please let me know if this was able to resolve the paper pick problem, if it is still now picking up the paper from the ADF please let me know and I will send you a private message.
Thank you in advance,

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus won't scan in color

I have had this printer for a couple years, and it worked fine. Even though I have done it before, today I cannot scan a photo in color. I have tried scanning as JPG and PDF and Everyday Scan. I set the scan to color, but it always comes out in B&W. I checked to make sure I had the latest drivers installed. What else can I do?

It's my pleasure Surfbored, but I must admit, I am puzzled!
I am going to do some research and will return, if a take a day or too don't think I have forgotten about you. I appreciate your patience.

Configuring "Scan To E-mail" on HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus N911g

This is the same issue reported by several other users in this forum to which no solution has been provided.
I have been unsuccessful in setting up the scan to e-mail option for a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus N911g purchased on August 12th 2012 and using the firmware CLP1CN1150CR.
I am trying to do this through the Embedded Web Server interface to the printer from an iMac running Mac OS X 10.6.8 and HP Utility 5.8.0. More specifically the page under "Scan -> Scan to E-mail -> Outgoing E-mail Profiles".
I have tried 2 different SMTP outgoing servers, each of which works well to send e-mail from the computer: Apple iCloud e-mail service (formerly known as Mobile Me, formerly known as .Mac) and AT&T Net e-mail service. I verified that the server name, port number and authentication login/password values were all correct.
When scan to e-mail is used from the printer, I get an error message: Cannot connect to server. Check server name and address.
When tested from the computer during the setup of an outgoing e-mail profile, I get an error message: The device could not send the test e-mail message. (EmailAccounts-timeout).
When I try to configure the page under "Settings -> E-mail Alerts -> E-mail Server" and use exactly the same values as the ones in the outgoing e-mail profile above, the Save and Test option fails with an error message: The device could not send the test e-mail message.
Interestingly enough, I am able to use the computer's e-mail client with the option Scan To Computer -> E-mail as PDF or E-mail as JPEG. With this option, the file is scanned and added as an attachment to a mail message from the Mail client under Mac OS X. When I press the Send button, the e-mail is sent successfully through the same SMTP server.
All the error messages seem to indicate that the printer's e-mail client software is unable to establish a connection to the SMTP server. However, it is not clear what configuration parameter is the one that could be causing the problem.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

After further research, I noticed that there are other possible default Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) port values:
Port 25 is the standard SMTP port number.
Port 465 is the port number for SMTP over SSL, Secure SMTP (SSMTP).
Port 587 is the dedicated port number for a Mail Submission Agent (MSA) that uses a variant of the SMTP, as specified in RFC 6409, which requires that clients are authorized and authenticated to use the mail submission service.
I had been using port number 25 as this is the standard one. However, all tests were failing. Hence, I decided to try the tests with ports numbers 465 and 587.
Port number 465 failed with the same errors listed above. However, the tests passed with port number 587. After saving the successful configuration with port number 587, I tried the scan to e-mail option from the printer and it worked.
A mail submission agent (MSA) is a computer program or software agent that receives electronic mail messages from a mail user agent (MUA) and cooperates with a mail transfer agent (MTA) for delivery of the mail.
Historically in Internet mail, both MTA and MSA functions use port number 25. However, many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and enterprise or institutional networks restrict the ability to connect to remote MTAs on port 25.
With a dedicated port 587, it is always possible for users to connect to their domain to submit new mail. Availability of a MSA on port 587 enables nomadic users to continue to send mail via their preferred submission servers even from within others' networks. Using a specific submission server is a requirement when sender policies or signing practices are enforced.
I know that many users may find the technical details boring or confusing, but I just wanted to include some background to those who actually care about this level of detail. I also wanted to provide a possible solution to other users who are experiencing the same problem.
So, in a nutshell, if the Scan To E-mail option is not working for you using port number 25, then try one of the other SMTP port numbers listed above. If none of them work, check your mail provider for other possible outgoing server port numbers.

Now really can't print from Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

This is my second attempt to get help. The first help made it worse. I had been unable to print from my wireless printer from my MacBook Pro, iPad, or iPhone. After about 20 hours I got it to print from a cable (it sees my network but none of my devices can see it). So I posted here asking for help and was told to uninstall the software, repair disc permissions, and reinstall the software. But when I downloaded the new software my computer would not install it because it says it is for Mac System 10.7 or less and I have 10.10. So now I can't print anything at all. I need this for work. Please help me fix it for real. I can't take this any more.
This question was solved.

Thanks for providing that information JeanneS1. I have provided some more information that should help us resolve this issue. I know you have already spent a lot of time on this, but I am willing to continue trying to get this working properly over the wireless network.
Power cycle the router, restart the Mac and the printer.
I would print off a Configuration Page to see if the printer still has a valid IP address.
Try to access the printer's Embedded Web Server. If it connects then the printer is still on the network.
If you don't have a valid IP address, once more run the Wireless Setup Wizard on the printer.
Setup a Static IP address for the printer, this way the router will always assign the same IP address to the printer. Which should stop the disconnection.
Here is a document on this issue. But for now just follow Solution two: Assign the printer an automatic static IP address under Mac. Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and delete the old driver, click the + sign to add the driver, you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in. (Officejet Pro 8600 Plus)
Here is a screen shot.
Then test the printer.
You might need to update the printer's firmware if you haven't already.
How far is the printer from the router?
Here a few causes of why the printer can lose the wireless connection:
The recommended distance between the printer and the router is 1.0 meter to 1.5 meters (3 ft to 5 ft).
A nearby device that emits radio signals (such as a microwave or cordless telephone) might interfere with the wireless connection.
A virtual private network (VPN) prevents the printer from accessing the computer and wireless network.
The network connection is no longer active, or has low signal strength.
The printer goes into sleep mode or standby mode.
A firewall prevents the printer from accessing the computer and wireless network.
What kind of router are you using?
What kind of security are you using? (WPA2/WPA, WPA Personal, WEP)
What band is the router set to? (2ghz or 5ghz)
I believe by changing these settings on the router will help with this issue if it continues. You might need to contact the router company to make those changes.
Make sure that on your wireless modem, the channels for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz are fixed and are not set to automatic !!
Select channel 6 for 2.4Ghz and channel 36 for 5Ghz frequency.
Hope this helps get you up and running again.

Printer won't print - HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus All in 1

Hi,
Please can anyone help me ?
I have Windows 7, 64 bit HP computer with a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus All in 1 Printer.
It printed over the network/wireless yesterday. I then had a problem scanning to the computer so I followed advice on the HP community and uninstalled and re-installed the latest software/driver for the printer.
Today it WON'T PRINT!! The printer has a connection to my router (Plus Net Technicolor N router) and shows the little symbol on the printer screen. I tried printing my work today and it says the printer is offline - it can't be as the printer is ON and has a signal connection.
I have uninstalled, reinstalled, turned it on and off on the printer, I've restarted the computer, I've unplugged and plugged in all of it - the router, computer and printer. The computer has the green tick to say the printer is the default and it is ready. It then says to check the network connection or it maybe to do with the firewall settings, but these I haven't changed for over 1 month and I've printed loads of stuff between then and yesterday.
I desperately need my printer and short of going to have to buy a brand new one - I don't know how to fix it!!!
Please can anyone out there help me??!!!
Help!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for any helpful advice
Victoria

Just to say as well that on the top of the 'X there is a problem printing' At the top where it says the printer - it has on it 'Fax - HP Officejet Pro 8600'
So it is trying to print from the 'Fax' part of the printer and yet when I change the printer device to the actual 'printer' part to default it always changes back to the 'fax' Officejet Pro 8600 Plus rather than the Officejet Pro 8600 Plus.
I will uninstall all the elements to the printer and then find the latest driver to the printer and start again to see if that helps.
Please help me!!!
Thank you for any helpful advice

OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus Wireless DOES NOT WORK with Mac Mavericks Based Network

Replaced my Brother system with the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus yesterday. There are many positive features of the 8600 Plus that prompted me to purchase it...
Modular Design
Large legal sized Scanner
Standard/Legal Paper Printer
Copy
E Print Capability
High Yield / Affordable Toner Replacements
Unfortunately, I discovered the Wireless network capability is less than desirable. After hours of installing, reinstalling, work arounds, internet solution searches, it just will not work. If you are able to get the printer to work on your network (with router), the scanner will not be visible, vice versa, etc...etc...etc...
HOWEVER, I did discover this solution. If the unit is near your base computer, install it to your computer with a usb connection. That allows you to have scanning and printing from that unit. Then you can connect the unit through its ethernet connection to your router. From there all computers can print within your network. It's not the best way to connect a WIRELESS printer, but at least it works.
I'm not certain why HP and Apple can't find a solution, but I never found anything on the net that worked. The problem seems to stem from the new Mavericks update from Apple, but I'm really not sure. I wasted an entire day of productivity attempting to make it work. I'm posting this so you don't make the same mistake. If you happen to know a verified solution, then I would welcome the information. Best of luck!!!

It may be a mac driver issue. Try installing the bootcamp update for your version of vista from here:
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
I'm not sure if this is supposed to work since I've never tried mac hardware at 5ghz on windows before...

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus scanner failure

I have an Officejet Pro 8600 Plus all-in-one. When I first got it, all of the features worked fine: print, scan, and copy. A few weeks ago, it started to not scan or copy, and printer was hit or miss. I have managed to resolve the printing issue, but it still wont scan or copy. I have tried uninstalling the printer both from the hp folder and control panel and then reinstalling the driver (I have the full feature one). I have tried the scan and print doctor, and it doesnt make it past the second step. The error message the printer displays is, "scanner failure: unable to scan, copy, or send a fax." I have also followed the steps to go into services, and both of the necessary dependencies are listed for the WIA, and the RPC and shell hardware are both started. Please help.

Hello ld2hx,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with scanning, copying and faxing.
First off, 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 click on the following link for A 'Connection Error' or 'No Computer Detected' Error Message Displays during Scanning.
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. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

Is Windows Server 2012 compatible with HP Officejet pro 8600 plus printers

Hello,
I am wondering whether HP officejet pro 8600 plus printers compatible with Windows server 2012 - I have the driver installed on the server and deployed - installation of the driver and all was successful but it won't print from the server or on a user's computer from the deployed printers list. No error message comes up, I just click print and nothing happens. If I install it individually on the user computers - it seems to print as a 'network printer' but won't print from the server, and if it can not print from the server then it can not print from the deployed printers list. I was looking up on driver compatibility list online earlier and could not find Windows Server 2012 mentioned on the list - only server 2008 and below.
Essentially what I am trying to find out is whether this officejet pro 8600 plus printer is compatible with our server.
Many thanks,

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus wireless printing dilemma

Hello,
I recently purchased the Officejet Pro 8600 Plus for my dorm room in college. However, the school requires all devices that want to use its wi-fi to register their IP addresses through detection software in addition to the default log-in information just to use the wi-fi. Now, here are the items I currently have:
- the printer itself
- the printer USB cable
- a few ethernet cables
- a personal router
- an ASUS wireless dongle (plugs into PCs via USB, has ethernet port but the device itself can create a hotspot and its own "network")
- one of the built-in school routers (high up on the wall)
The question is, is there a way I can set up any type of wireless printing in my dorm room? Is it possible to buy two wireless USB attachments that hook up wirelessly to my printer and computer, acting like bluetooth? Thank you!

Range extender improves the signal strength and cover a bigger area, but adds an extra layer of communication so will have slower response. It helps connecting devices far apart, but may cause delay and "loss" of communication, especially "two way" communication which is the problem you are experiencing.

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus - Scan software doesn't have 8.5x11 letter size option

Just bought a new Officejet Pro 8600 Plus.
The included HP Scan software will only let me choose A4 or A5 paper sizes (as well as 6x4, 7x5, 8x6, 10x8). No 8.5x11 option, which is what I want to use most often. (this is from the dropdown options after clicking the "Scan..." button)
Is there something I'm missing? I'm generally pretty good at figuring this stuff out, but I haven't even seen this issue mentioned on forums, so I'm confused.
Also, when using the Scan To Computer function directly from the printer, I get the same result - it will scan my 8.5x11 document and output an A4 size file.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8. I have installed all software and firmware updates I could find. I have my printer's region set to Canada, and bought the machine from a Staples in Canada. Wondering why I can't use any North American size formats?

@Simple1234 - I have reinstalled the software from HP's website, and no change. (it's actually the same version that came on the installation CD - 12.23).
@Sethaniel - I have definitely tried every combination of settings in those drop down lists, so that's not it.
Ruling out OS issues, my girlfriend is running 10.8, and the HP software is doing the same thing on her computer.
Using the System Preferences scanning method, I can choose paper sizes if set to scan from document feeder. If I change to flatbed, I have the option to manually type in the dimensions I want, but then I'm forced to manually drag the crop area to which 8.5x11 portion of the flatbed it will scan. Again, there's no way to just have the flatbed scan a letter size document automatically when placing the page at the top corner of the flatbed, where it shows you to place the page for letter size.
This seems like the most basic function of a scanner! I'm really perplexed by this. I would imagine most people in north america would just want to place an 8.5x11 sheet of paper on the flatbed and have an easy way to scan the correct size with no added fuss.
Printing works fine, and I can choose letter size, and many adjustable settings, so I think this is just a problem with HP's scanning software. I have tried all the usual basic steps, like restarting my computer & the printer, reinstalling software, running software update, looking through all the settings in the HP Scan software, any global settings I could change in System Preferences, tried using a different computer and OS X version, googling the issue, and posting on this forum.
Any other ideas?

Unable to Completely Scan Legal Size Documents with Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

I am trying scan legal sized documents on my new Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. I have reviewed the forums, and this has been a recurring problem in the past (see link--- http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Scanning-Faxing-and-Copying/Scanning-Legal-Size-Documents/m-p/35416#M14... ), but does not appear to be resolved. Whether I use the document feeder or the glass, the document is cut off at the bottom, and appears to be stopping at the 'A4' size, vs. legal. I cannot locate any setting on the scanner itself, or in the HP Utility software to change this, or even to be able to identify the current setting, if it is one.
I am using a Mac Pro, system 10.6.8, just installed and started using the printer a couple of days ago, and everything is up to date software-wise. Everything else on this machine has been working beautifully.
Can anyone identify what's going on here and how to correct it?
Thanks for your help--I specifically chose this particular unit over the next model down due to the legal sized glass/bed, and if I can't use it to scan legal docs, well, that's a problem. Thanks for your help!
This question was solved.
