OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus Squeaking

I have an Officejet Pro 8600 Plus, and after a pring about 50 pages it begins to squeak quite loud when it is feeding the paper through while printing.  It sounds like part of the mechanism needs to be oiled.  I have seen many complaints regarding this issue, but HP seems to tell everyone to contact support.  My printer is a few months out of warranty, so this is not useful.  Hoping someone can tell me how to oil or fix the issue.   

Hello!
Can you tell me more about where the noise is coming from? Is it more noisy in the rear of the printer?

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus will not copy even after hard reset

    HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus on Windows 8 OS 
    Will print from computer; will scan documents & save to computer; will NOT copy document on the unit.
    Shut down printer; unplugged from wall and back of unit; held on/off button for 60 seconds; plugged back in; started unit.
    Placed document on glass; hit copy; hit black; Unit pulls sheet of paper; unit scans document (squeaks while scanning); after period of time, it spits out paper & reads "copy cancelled", but does not clear or return to home screen.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

    Hello.
    I have the Officejet Pro 8600 Plus running on Windows 7. The printer is connected to computer by network and it is linked to the computer.
    All was well with the printer untill I removed Norton and installed McAfee two days ago. Now it will not work, even with McAfee turned off.
    I tried to uninstall and re install the printers programmes and driver, but it will not re install the programme or driver.
    I have uninstalled all HP prog's.
    Stopped all start up prog's except the Microsoft ones.
    Turned off McAfee
    Gone to HP and re installed the software and drivers.
    These downloaded fine (took a few minutes and 123.00 MB copied) and installed.
    Accepted HP licence terms and ran printer installation programme.
    Got instalation complete message.
    But it is not installing!  Where is it downloading the programme and driver to?
    Downloaded the HP Print and Scan Doctor. This finds printer and says programmes not installed. it then downloads them, but it never works. Even with McAfee firewall and scanning all turned off. If I then run it again, I get the same mesasage the programmes not installed, though it just seemed to do it....
    If I go to devices / printers there is no Officejet Pro icon like there was. If I try install new printer there, I does not find the correct drivers for this HP model.
    If I go to Start, all Programmes, HP and click on these icons I get message "Shortcut moved or changed"
    I am at whits end with this now. Absolutly hate the McAfee.
    Please help.  Nick
    PS.
    I have got the printer partly working by using the windows available driver HP Officejet Pro K8600 Series, but this is not the correct driver. It will not scan and has very limited printing functionality.
    Windows also shows a FAX - HP Officejet Pro 8600 driver, but this did not work when I tried it. Is this the proper driver for this printer??
    When I try to get windows to download new drivers it goes looking but says it is unavailable and to try again later.  :-(

    Hey there @Nick-S!
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
    I can see that you are experiencing some software issues with the Officejet Pro 8600 after re-installing McAfee.  I would be happy to provide some suggestions that may help resolve the issue! 
    I suggest restoring the network defaults in the printer, power cycling the router and reconfiguring the printer on the wireless network.   To restore the network defaults press the Wi-Fi icon on the printer and go into settings.  Under settings should be an option to restore the network defaults.  Once the network defaults in the printer have been restored power cycle the printer and power cycle the router for 20 seconds.  When the printer turns back on press the Wi-Fi icon again, go back into settings and run the wireless setup wizard.
    I understand you have re-installed the software but the printer is still not recognised.  I recommend uninstalling the HP software one more time.  After the uninstall is complete it would be a good idea to perform a disk cleanup in the computer. A disk cleanup will improve computer performance and clear temporary files that may cause issues during the install of software. Once the disk cleanup is complete you should restart the computer and re-install the HP software.
    To uninstall HP software click here: Uninstalling HP Software
    To perform a disk cleanup click here: Performing a Disk Cleanup
    To download the HP software click here: HP Officejet 8600 Plus Software and Driver

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Macbook Pro running Maverick doesn't recognize Officejet Pro 8600 Plus as a scanner

    I am a new user to the Macbook, transitioning from Windows. I started with a preexisting Offciejet Pro 8500 but couldn't get it to work and discovered there were no Maverick drivers. I then bought and  installed the Officejet Pro 8600 Plus wirelessly. I downloaded the HP software package for Mac. I can print. I can scan from the printer to the computer. I can use the HP Scan utility (although the HP apps folder also contains the 8500 apps and I'm not sure which is which). However, under System Preferences Printers and Scanners it only lists the 8600 as a printer and faxer; it does not appear under Scanner. And I cannot access it using PDF Converter for Mac, either.  And it refuses to scan an entire legal page, stopping at the letter page limits, whether I use the document feeder or just place it on the glass.
    ( I also cannot figure out how to set up Network scanning - it asks for a folder address and I am not familiar with iOS nomenclature.)

    Hi lahrm
    I understand  you are having issues scanning on the Maverick.
    I will be happy to assist you with this.
    I have included a document for how to scan on the Maverick.

  • OSX 10.8.5 CS5.5 & HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

    I bought the HP Officejet Pro 8600 plus believeing it is MAC OSX compatable however upon trying to scan into Adobe CS5.5 suite of applications I was not able to scan into any of the Adobe CS programs. I can scan from the scanner into a PDF that the HP printer makes and place it in a folder on my computer but I cannot Scan directly into Adobe Acrobat X or any of the CS5.5 programs.
    After a few hrs of searching I found on the user manual on page 50 the following
    "The HP Scanning Software does not support TWAIN and WIA scanning on
    computers running Mac OS X."
    I need to know if this issue has been resolved and if so what is the solution or workaround to scan directly into Adobe Acrobat, Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign or any of the other Adobe CS5.5 master suite collection.
    From what I have read it seems that there are two issues here
    1 most programs are moving away from twain and WIA in favor of something else forget what it is and HP moved on but did not consider backward compatability important so they didn't include what is needed.
    2. Adobe could use a patch for this other format
    If there is no current solution I will return the MFP (multi-function printer) and look for a replacement. I would appreciate any reccomendations from the community for an MFP that works pain free with Adobe CS5.5 and Mac OSX.
    Looking for high quality scan with document feeder and flatbed, photo print capability does not need to fax.
    Thank you your assistance.

  • WiFi Wireless Setup Wizard produces Blue Screen of Death on Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

    The wireless setup wizard on my Officejet Pro 8600 Plus is failing immediately after "scanning for networks". I get a blue screen of death with error message B8494B00, followed by "turn printer on and off" with flashing screen.
    I bought the printer about one month ago and it has worked perfectly so far. My Apple Time Capsule failed yesterday, so I bought a new one (latest model) and had to set up the wireless network again. When I tried to do so on the printer, I got the error for the first time. Nothing else had changed. Other devices are working with no problems on the new network. The computer is an Apple iMac running OS Mountain Lion. 
    I have tried turning the printer on and off, disconnecting the power and reconnecting, then turning it on again, but no result. I have restored the wireless to factory settings, but no difference. 
    Please help. 

    Right off I have to tell you I do not "speak Mac".
    I assume the "Apple Time Capsule" is a name for a network router?  A syncing device?
    Unless I am mistaken:
    You do not need the Wizard to set up the network -- it is pretty software for an HP PC; when it works, it can make things easier.  The setup Wizard is not necessary for the process.  I should think this is true for the Mac.
    ==================================================​===================================
    If you cannot get someone from the Printing group to answer your specific concern,
    you may have succes with the following:
    The User Guide has pretty good detail on how to set up the networking necessary to get the printer connected to either a PC or Mac environment.  Assuming you can get the printer to "Reset network settings" (User Guide, page 222), then you can re-enter the information you require manually.  It is a bit tedious, but is may work better than fighting the Wizard.
    OfficeJet Pro 8600 User Guide
    You may be able to circumvent sone or all of this by reinstalling the Full Feature Software for your printer -- that assumes you are first able to "reset network settings", at least, and get a printout test page to verify that the reset actually worked.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus - "Scan to Computer" issue on Mac OSX 10.8 or 10.9

    Hi...
    I have started experiencing the notorious "scan to computer not working" issue on my 1-month OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus, after having used the feature a number of times flawlessly.
    There are a lot of potential solutions mentioned in dozens of relevant posts for both Mac and Windows, e.g.:
    "Failed to open a session on the device"...
    Scan to computer does not work...
    Problem scanning to computer with an 8600 wireless
    Unable to enable print to computer...
    Enable Scan to Computer - Communication Error
    Officejet Pro 8600 Utility does not show my Mac computer in scan settings
    A 'Connection Error' or 'No Computer Detected' Error Message Displays during Scanning
    HP Wireless All-in-One Printers - Communication Error between the Scanner and Your Computer...
    Etc.
    However, in my case, no solution works, after several frustrating hours of trying to fix the issue, in Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8), or after upgrading to Maverics (10.9).
    The behavior of the device points to a software issue, since:
    The printer is visible on the network
    The print function has been working fine
    The HP Scan function works
    The generic Scan function from System Preferences works (although in earlier times it did not, or it stopped working soon after invoking it)
    The "Scan to Computer" option does not appear in the HP Utility screen (although occasionally, after random sequences of unistalling and installing the software, it reappears)
    The HP Installer crashes before completing the installation (this is a latest symptom, apparently happening before unvoking the HP Setup Assistant, which still works fine)
    As already mentioned, I have tried all possible solutions, including software and firmware updates, Apple drivers, HP drivers (full featured software), clean (un)installations, followed by computer and printer restarts. Nothing seems to work.
    The "Scan to Computer" feature of the 8600 always works on my Windows 7 laptop, after initial configuration. 
    The next step will be returning the device for a refund, but before resorting to that, I am giving it a last chance, in (the unlikely) case there is something new I have not tried yet.
    Thanks,
    PNS

  • 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.

    Hello,
    Please try the following steps:
    1. Open the HP Utility and select your device.
    2. From Scan Settings open the "Scan to Computer".
    3. Click the "Scan Tasks" tab.
    4. Select the Scan Shortcut used to scan, then click Edit.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus will not print from my MacAir

    I have used my MacAir to print on my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus for about 5 months without any problems.  All of a sudden my printer will not print.  The wireless icon says it's connected to the network.  But when I click print it says "looking for air printer" and then "printer not connected".  I've repeated the Wizard Set Up for the wireless connection.  I've turned the printer and computer on and off.  I've even tried printing from my iPhone but it will not find the printer anymore.  Please help!

    Hello @ladybonds ,
    Thank you for taking the time to post on the HP Forums today! Hope you enjoy the experience.
    You are saying that you have been printing fine from your computer for 5 months and now your printer says it is connected to the network and your computer says that it isn't.
    Have you recently upgraded to Yosemite the new Apple OS? If not what OS X are you using?
    Are you sure that the printer and your devices are on the same network?
    Does the router give your printer an I.P address?
    Let me know these answers and we can go from there.

  • Printing wirelessly on officejet pro 8600 plus

    I have recently purchased an e printer (Officejet pro 8600 plus).  I have set it up on my laptop as well as mobile phone.  I have printed photos from my phone, emails from my phone, emails from my laptop, word documents and excel documents from my laptop.  It will only print sometimes.  I think it may have to do with the printer going to sleep.  On my mobile phone, I get a message saying ePrint job delayed  because the printer is turned OFF or not connected to Internet.  Well, it is on.  When I actually go to the room where the printer is located, if I touch the screen and press Apps, sometimes, the printer says "connection error", unable to connect to the server.  Other times when I have done this, it does make the connection.  It seems that if I wake up the printer, I can eventually get something to print.  But that defeats my purpose of the wireless capability.  Can you help?

     I will need some more information in order to help out. What make and model of router do you have?  Does it ever  fail regular wireless jobs sent from the computer to the printer? Or is it just ePrint jobs that it fails/delays? Also what is the IP address for the printer?

  • Hp officejet pro 8600 plus - connected to the wireless but AirPrint not working

    i have an hp officejet pro 8600 plus.  had it for 6 months or so.  intial setup went fine...connected to the wireless network with no problems...airprint worked instantly from all of my apple devices.  recently, in the last 3 weeks, airprint has stopped working. when i turn the printer off and turn it back on, airprint will work for about 5 minutes.  but then it stops working.  it is like the printer is losing wireless connectivity, but the wirless diagnostics show it to be connected fine.
    i have an apple airport exptreme router.  it is showing to be connected just fine to the network and i can see the printer's mac address as a wireless client in the Airport Utility.
    any ideas?

    Hi henryje,
    Sorry to hear you are experiencing these issues. I would be glad to help.
    Try changing the channel on the AirPort Extreme router to channel 11 or any channel that seem less congested.
    You can check you network channel environment by printing a Network Configuration page from the Wireless Settings menu on printer front panel. The second page of the printout will display all detected networks by the printer listed by signal strength. You can also use InSSIDer: http://www.techspot.com/downloads/5936-inssider.html
    Printers also do not support the 5GHz band, so if your network uses 5GHz only, you can disable this in the AirPort Extreme router config page.

    The printer is being used on the desktop as a network printer.  Windows Firewall is turned off.  Office uses Trend Micro Antivirus.  Able to use full features like digital fax, print, scanning only when Trend Micro Office Scan is offloaded.  Printer was taking dynamic port so created Standard/TCP-IP port created.  Even this did not solve the problem.  Trend Micro administrators say the port is open.  Not sure if anything particularly needs to be allowed by Trend Micro.  Spoke with HP support system over phone.  They are also not sure what is to be done rectify the problem.
