Officejet Pro 8600 Plus paper tray will not go all the way in so cannot print

Have loved this printer for almost two years but suddenly the drawer which holds the paper will not go all the way in so cannot print. Took it to a so-called tech at Office Depot who said that because you cannot open/remove the tray, there is no way to see what is jamming it. Any thoughts? My first call for tech support was answered by a tech here in the US who said they had experience with it and it could be fixed and asked dme to call again when I was back in the office and at the printer. The next four calls were answered overseas and they all had had no experience with this problem.

Hi maebun,
Welcome to the hp support forums.
Thanks for your query.
Please find the link for fixing paper jam.
Hope this helps

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!

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus (UK purchase) will not connect to wired ethernet network

Hi
We have an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus (purchase here in UK approx 9-12 months ago) which has sort of worked OK wirelessly but finance industry compliance requirements now require me to connect to it by normal ethernet cable.
When I disable wireless and plug in a (tested and working) ethernet cable it does nothing. I have done a factory reset (via the screen menu) to remove any previous settings. Turned off, turned on, still nothing.
I have restored Network defaults also using the menu command within settings - network; no difference.
In Network - wired summary the screen says:
IP: Not applicable
MAC: xxxxxxxxxxx (not for sharing here)
Hostname: xxxxxxxxx (not for sharing here)
Wireless Direct: Off
I have tried it with IP settings turned to Automatic (DHCP) - no joy.
I have tried it with IP settings turned to Manual(Static) - when i then type in the static IP address that is within the router range (but outside the DHCP reserved range) as soon as I press Done, the settings are lost i.e. 192.168.0.102 - push 'Done' and the IP goes back to 000.000.000.000
The same when entering the default gateway and subnet masks.
I have restored to defaults several times, tried manual and DHCP several times, no joy.
Please let me have some serious suggestions at the earliest opportunity. Just to reiterate I have tested the network connection and cables with other ethernet equipment and they are working. My questions include:
1. Anyone know how to make this printer actually store the manually entered IP addresses etc?
2. What am I missing about the wired setup?
3. Is this a known issue? Is it an issue with the hardware ethernet socket or something?
4. Also in this forum there are references to a Hard Factory reset that is apparently different to the menu 'Reset to Factory Defaults' but links to an article about it just give a 404 error, not found. [Does HP actually have two different levels of Factory Default and if so, God knows why! Does anyone know a working link to this information please?

Hello Qw8, welcome to the forums!
I read your post about not being able to successfully install your Officejet 8600 Plus to your wired network. I will do my best to find suggestions for you to try. I would first like to know which Operating System you are installing the printer on to help me with my research.
If you haven't already, run the installation (HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer - N911g Drivers) with your security and firewalls disabled to see if the proper connection can be made.
I do see you ask about other resets and there are others however, at this stage they may not be needed. If they are, I can send you a private message at that time with that information.
Please let me know your OS and we will go from there!
Have a wonderful weekend

In safari a lot web pages will not scroll all the way down

a lot of web pages in safari will not scoll all the way to the bottom what do I do

You can try to resetting Safari. Tap Settings, then tap Safari on the left side. Then on the right side - tap clear history, clear cookies, clear cache. Clear all three. Reboot your iPad. Hold down on the sleep button at the top until the red slider appears and slide to power off. Then hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and the iPad will restart. Launch Safari and see if helped.
If you are trying to scroll through an area of text and can't scroll to the bottom try a two finger scroll.

I purchased a song a few days ago and downloaded the whole song and the song will not play all the way through it only plays 23 seconds. How do I fix this problem?

I purchased a song a few days ago and downloaded the whole song and the song will not play all the way through it only plays 23 seconds. How do I fix this problem?

Thanks for this post. It corrected my similar issue. Note that you need to exit from/re-enter iTunes after deleting the song from your Purchased list.

MP4 crated in CC LR will not play all the way through.

I created an MP4 on CC LR that will not play all the way through on my web site. When I play it on our site it shows the first three images (there are a total of 26) and then starts over and yet when I play it from my Desktop it works perfectly. You can see the problem at www.oldeworldelace.com/Custmers-lace-panels.html. I'm looking forward to your suggestions.

I have tried that setting but then the whole show is messed up, some pictures freeze and some just zip through. If i only choose one song it will repeat for the entire show, if I pick 3 songs only 2 will play and the rest of the show is silent.

Some of my newly downloaded songs will not pay all the way through, they just skip to the next song

I just recently downloaded two new cds on iTunes and not all the songs, but a few of them will not play all the way out. It will play and then just skip to the next song! How can I fix it????

Hey ronserickson,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the songs do not play completely. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus output tray miss-installed

The output tray on my new Officejet Pro 8600 Plus is partially miss-installed. There is a clip on each side of the underside of the output tray which is supposed to engage tips on each side of the frame for the paper tray. Apparently, when the output tray on my unit was installed at the factory, the clip on the left side ended up above the tip which it is supposed to engage. This leaves the output tray slightly tipped to the right and results in output pages not stacking as neatly as they should. This could be easily corrected if someone would tell me how to disengage the output tray from the body of the printer. It's been working fine, I don't really want to have to take it back for an exchange just to correct what could be easily fixed by removing the tray and pushing it back on carefully while engaging both clips.

Hello Goliad,
To get the best answer and assistance to your question please post it on the printer forum. This forum is a dedicated for desktops and the printer have experts available who will be more than happy to help you.
Hope everything works out for you
Thanks

Officejet Pro 8600 N911g new firmware will not install.

My printer: Officejet Pro 8600 N911g
Current Firmware: CLP1CN1416AR
My problem: Downloaded the latest firmware update (Version CLP1CN1322CR). When I go to install it, my printer shows as listed, but in the STATUS cloumn, it is listed as "Not applicable".
I turned my printer on/off.
I tried updating via network, and when it checks for an update, it states there are no updates avaiable.
I tried updating via USB.
I tried updating via the LCD panel on the printer, and when it checks for an update, it states there are no updates avaiable.
Is there something wrong as to why this current firmware will not install?
Thanks for any help.

New Firmware (CLP1CN1416R) was installed automatically (Printer was set for "Auto Update"). Prior to new firmware install, printer has performed flawlessly...no problems. Immediately after printer updated it's firmware automatically I began to have multiple problems.
First, it kept asking me to perform an "Alignment" which I dutifully performed only to have message come back that 'Alignment Failed". Printed sheet looked fine, and printer printed fine but now before any page will print the "Alignment Recommended" message comes up which I have to then override (Click 'Do Not Align' button at bottome of 'Alignment Recommended' message box. This is getting really OLD!! Simply unacceptable for a business class printer!!
Also, the printer randomly has started giving other messages such as "There is a problem with the printer or ink system" AND "Cartridges are Missing" ("when I've just recently put in new catridges and levels are OK!!) AND "Paper Jam" (when there is no jam!!)
None of these problems have occurred prior to the automatic firmware update. I believe the reason HP hasn't posted the new firmware update to their Customer Service website is that they know there are bugs in it and don't want to compound the problems the new version has already created. I seriously question why an automatic updating of firmware was done with equipment set to "Auto Update" and yet that same new firmware is not available to those who might have had their printers set for "Manual Update".
HP Customer Service - You need to issue a statement from the company as to what has happened with this firmware update. If there are problems, take responsibility for it and make it right. HP knows who it sent out auto updates to. These printer owners should be immediately notified and the situation made right. It is not real assuring to have your front line staff not know why the new firmware is not on the website. I do not like the idea of having to pay for a Support Call when the problems with my out of warranty printer are directly tied to the Auto Updating of said printer with apparently defective firmware.
I'd really appreciate a response back from someone in HP Customer Service.

IPhoto will not load all the way

Hey All,
I have tried to get iPhoto to load on my MACBook Pro but it willl not open all the way. iPhoto will load the toolbar but then stop. I am running OS 10.7 and I have iLife 11. I have done all of the updrades and it still will not load. I finally got discusted and completely removed it and reinstalled it. I also repaired all of my permissions with disk utility. Please assist if you can, I am at my wits end.

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

I just downloaded an album off of itunes and now it will not play all the way through. how do i fix the unfinished songs

i downloaded tragic kingdom by no doubt and about four of tthe songs will play about forty seconds in and switch to the next song, they do not play all the way through. i went through troubleshooting online but it was unhelpful and did not fix my problem. i need help, please!

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 fax from computer will not fax more than one page without canceling job

HP Officejet Pro 8600 MFP running on Windows 7 64 bit. I purchased this printer almost a month ago. The install was simple and straight forward with no apparent problems but when trying to fax from computer the program seems to be only able to fax one page faxes. Any multiple page faxes will show a message "spooling" for 10 to 15 seconds then it will cancel the entire fax. I have tried this in both wired and wireless modes with the same results. I have sent 30 page plus faxes from the printer without any problems, it is only the fax from computer that seems to have memory issues. Any solutions out there?

Have you tried updating the firmware on the printer?
If not, here is a link to the most recent firmware:

Best of luck,

HT201210 the screen on my ipod touch will only show the apple icon it will not turn all the way on

the screen on my ipod touch only shows the apple logo.it will not shut off or turn all the way on and when plugged into itunes it will not allow the newest update

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

FarmTown in Facebook will not open all the way? Why? I can't use Firefox :(

I just downloaded Firefox for the second time. I uninstalled it the first time because it would not open Farm Town all the way. I only get the bottom part, and not the farms.
I figured I would try downloading your program again, and the same problem. I can't use Farm Town. I downloaded it the standard way, I didn't try to change anything when it was going to be downloaded....I am using Windows 7. I'd appreciate hearing from you at your earliest convenience
Sandy

You are saying Firefox opens full size, but when you what the smaller
window, you can't change it's size?
Do you have any other problems with Windows or Firefox?
Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift><br> ''(Mac Options)'' ''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Music will not play all the way through

I have created a slide show in Iphoto '11 with 98 pictures. The show is 7 minutes long. I want to play music all the way through but it will only play 2 songs then the music stops. I have added more songs but only the first 2 will play. I have tried numerous times to add more songs but cannot get past the first 2. I have an iMac OS 10.6.7, 4GB memory, 3.06GHz. Thanks for any help.
