Officejet pro 8600 waiting for job to complete on Mac

Hi
I have the problem where after printing the I get the message "waiting for job to complete" which never goes away by itself. I can manually delete the item and then continue to print repeating the process every time I need to pringt.
I have read the forums and found similar issues but not exactly the same and the recommendation for that was to reset the print system and resinstall. I did that but the problem persists.
Printer: Officejet pro 8600 Plus
OS: OSX 10.9.3
Connection: Wireless and  USB (same issue with both)
When I initially installed the printer it worked fine. When I upgraded to 10.9 it worked fine but the problem arose soon after.
Thanks

Welcome to the forums MedlandLime,
I understand you are seeing a message saying "waiting for job to complete" after you print and the message will not dissipate. I saw that you have reset the print system and reinstalled and the message continues. I have some more ideas that might help.
First of all, test the printer hardware itself and make a couple of copies. If the copies work fine, the printer is okay!
Next, try updating the printers Firmware through the front panel: Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates
If the issue still persists, follow these steps in order:
Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
Repair disk permissions
Restart the computer
Re-add the printer and ensure it's the HP driver and not the AirPrint driver: HP Officejet Pro 8600 series Full Feature Software and Driver- OS X 10.9 Mavericks
Please let me know the results!
Have a great Monday

  • Message "waiting for job to complete..." for printing

    Hello,
    I have a printer installed on Windows Server 2008 R2, shared for a
    windows 7 computer (OK), and a Macbook Air 10.8.3. m.lyon. (KO) is installed and configured correctly. HP Deskjet 3940.
    But in the MacBook when I print any document send the form to the
    Windows tail, and appears well in line, even tells me not just printing but printing ever, life is printing but printing out the document, including the correct printer makes noise as to be printed but nothing .
    On the MacBook print queue the message remains "printing: waiting for job to complete ..." and never complete.
    I install the printer on the Windows icon in Printers & Scanners for smb
    for the default printer and the result is always the same.
    Connect the printer directly to a USB port on the MacBook to try and charge good drivers and printed the first ....
    I need help, can you help,
    thanks,
    Joan.

    I solved this as follows....
    Go to the Windows computer.
    Open printers and select the printer
    Go to Customize your printer
    Go to ports
    Disable "Enable Birectional Support" in the Ports
    Sounds crazy, but it worked.
    Good luck, YMMV.

  • 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,

  • 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...

  • HP officejet Pro 8600 Not connecting right to my new Mac Pro Air. Looses signal.

    I recently bought a Mac Book Air. I have a wireless HP Officepro Jet 8600 that sometimes works for printing and a lot of times it does not get the signal. I am ready to throw my HP out the window. Had tech come in twice. Gets it and than it looses the signal. We probably do not have it connected correctly. Please help.
    Thanks

    Hi Carlman,
    I'd like to help you obtain a more consistent  connection. I feel that disabling the IPv6 would help us accomplish this. Please use the instructions in the following post to enable only the IPv4.
    Re: Office Jet Pro 8600 N911a printer
    The IPv6 often times causes interference with the IPv4, thus I believe this should resolve the issue.
    Please let me know if it does or does not, thanks.

  • 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.

  • 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 Connection Issues

    My boss stricly uses his iPad and has the Officejet Pro 8600 Plus for wireless printing. However, he's been having major problems printing.  The iPad appears to see the printer on AirPrint, but nothing is getting printed. We've tried connecting the printer directly to our network, and it still won't print. We even got a new wireless router (Linksys E900 Wirless-N300 Router) but that has not seemed to help with the issue. I previously had the officejet 8500 and had multiple problems with it connecting wireless, to the point we just got rid of it. Are there any workarounds other than getting a new printer?

    Hi,
    Airprint uses Apple's Bonjour which relies on Multicasting.
    From my experience, Linksys routers do not have Multicast enabled by their default configuration.
    Try modifying the router configuration by entering the router homepage (Its address should be the same as the Default Gateway listed on the printer once clicking the network icon.
    From the router config click Security.
    Check the checkbox next to Filter Multicast and Save the settings.
    Reboot the router and check for any change.
    If the issue persists I would also recommend checing for any firmware update to your router, those can improve Multicast traffic handaling in many cases..
    Hope that helps,

  • Remotely invoke DS job and wait for job

    Hi,
    We are running DS 4 SP2 on Linux and have generated our job script from
    the console. We need to be able to invoke a DS job from scheduler
    (autosys) running on AIX and wait for the DS job to complete so the
    return status is passed back to autosys.
    We are planning to replace informatica with DS, informatica has a utility
    pmcmd which allows remote invocation and will also wait for the job to
    complete. Is there a similar utility in DS?
    Alternately, if we installed DS on the remote AIX server, would it be
    able to remotely start/wait for the job on the Linux server?
    Thanks,

    you can export the job execution command for a job from management console and use that to run the job from auto sys, the script will start job aluncher which has a option -w (by default it waits for job to complete) which tell whether the launcher process waits for job to complete or starts the job and exit

  • How to override cartridge empty message and continue printing on Officejet Pro 8600

    Hi,
    I'm setting up a new OfficeJet Pro 8600 printer for my parents.  On my HP color laser printer I am able to override the setting where the printer stops printing because it hit a date or page quantity.  My parents don't print complex, color documents often, so I want to override this setting on the OfficeJet Pro 8600.  I can't find any documentation on how to do this on this particular model.  Is there a series of steps via the touch panel on the printer?  I tried the web interface but didn't find the setting to continue, and I don't know if I also have to set the override on the printer itself.  Thank you in advance, I want to make sure my senior citizen parents get the most out of their ink cartridge investment.
    They are on Windows 7, if that matters..
    Thank you in advance for any and all help!
    Paula

    Hey skymom,
    On this model there is not a way to override an empty cartridge message other than replacing the empty catridge. Do tests still show that there is a usable amount of ink?
    Any additional info would be great. Thanks!

  • Waiting for printer to respond officejet pro 8600

    I am suddenly getting a message when I try to print from any Microsoft Office 2010 program to my Officejet Pro 8600.  It says, "Waiting for pinter to respond".  It only flashes on the PC screen for a few seconds, but then it takes a long time for the printer to come to life and get started printing the document.
    In addition, I had one Word document that was taking forever to print.  Both issues started a few days ago.  The document is mostly a drawing, with a bit of text.  It used to print just fine.  I deleted the document, made a new scan of the drawing, added the text and saved it to a new folder in case there was a problem with the destination folder.  Nothing happened.  I tried doing the same thing making it a Publisher document.  Same thing happened.  Every other document prints fine (except for the wait time for it them begin)  I uninstalled/reinstalled the printer and drivers, did a repair of the Office software.  No change.
    I downloaded and ran the HP Print & Scan Doctor.  It found no problems.

    Hey @sldmsh,
    Thanks again for getting back to me. After some additional digging I did find this Microsoft Support document that seems to describe what you're experiencing:
    The size of the EMF spool file may become very large when you print a document that contains lots of...
    There is a suggested fix under the Resolution section of the document that you can try. By enabling the 'Print directly to the printer' feature you avoid spooling print jobs.
    Should the issue still occur I would recommend that you reach out to Microsoft Support for additional guidance.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus will not print but is connected and says that the print job is 100% Complete

    Hi All,
    I'm printing from a MacBook Pro using OSX Lion. It says that Officejet Pro 8600 Plus is connected and that the print jop is 
    100% complete except that nothing comes out of the printer. I've done all of the test prints and they've printed just fine.
    I tired all of the troubleshooting steps listed on the support guide and still nothing. HELP!

    Not a reply but another plea for help.
    There seem to be so many people with wireless problems that a) it seems silly to start a new thread and b) which one to enter my own plea.
    -Printer bought about 2~3 weeks into Sept 2012
    -Installed onto Macbook Pro running Lion (full updated at that time)
    -Both wireless scanning from printer to computer and initiated from computer worked fine.
    -Printer, with full choice of duplex, layout etc, worked fine. (Even left 5star feedback somewhere!)
    -Set up eprint. That OK, too. Fine from iPad2 and SE Arc S printing photos.
    -Somewhere along the line it stopped communicating with my MBP
    -Out of interest, since there seemed to be no problems with an Acer laptop running Vista, I booted the MBP from an external drive on which I'd done a backup of my 10.6 system iMac (>300Km away: can't try that). Installed HP software from disc. Seemed fully functional. Odd. Very odd.
    -Restarting with Lion on MBP, tried again. Looks as if it might work, but loses connectivity. Tried manual address on printer.
    -Booting from 10.6 system again, reinstalled Lion on MBP (wondering if conflict between HP and Apple updates)
    -Reinstalled HP software from disc.
    Still didn't work.
    -Brought Lion up to date. Downloaded most recent dmg file from HP. Looked for updates. Have applied firmware update to printer
    8600 doesn't list my MBP as available computer to scan to
    [But all the test pages done whilst in HP Utility, and others, get sent through]
    Am getting rather fed-up with all this; never, ever before have I had so much printer problem.
    There seem to be a number of Lion users out there with the same problem. So far -but very infrequently tried- other machines/systems seem OK, therefore I am coming to the conclusion that it is an Apple<> HP conflict. If not sorted soon the printer will be returned as it is not fit for purpose. I'll revert to using my seldom problematic, non duplex A3 Brother.
    Hrumph
    Please help, someone! Either with a pointer to something I've not yet tried or by analysis and rapid availablity of updated software.
    Thanks,

  • 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.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 N911g cannot complete s/w installation on laptop running XP

    Initially, successfully installed the 8600 s/w on a Dell D810 laptop running XP which is linked both via Ethernet and wirelessly to the same LAN as the printer.  The printer is wirelessly linked to a port on a WAP device connected to the LAN/router. After setting up the router with DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 addresses, successfully set-up e-Print function thru Verizon high speed internet connection. This confirms that the my LAN and Internet can see the printer connection through the WAP. Guess I should have left well enough alone, but I decided to also install the printer on my desktop, a Dell XPS desktop (also running on XP) that is linked thru a wired Ethernet connection to the same LAN.
    The XPS s/w install was flawless and I can print from the desktop and HP e-print functions continue to work on the 8600, but I can no longer print from the laptop.  As I mentioned, the s/w did load successfully  on the laptop when I initially installed the printer. Following a suggestion on HP's website, I uninstalled the HP 3800 s/w in an attempt to reinstall the printer on the laptop. However, I have not been able to successfully reload the s/w on the laptop, despite numerous attempts.. The program can find the printer on the LAN, it always comes up with the same result: "The printer was unable to be installed over the network".  I confirmed that there is no firewall or security setting blocking the s/w load. 
    As part of my problem resolution, I've also followed the procedures contained in HP Troubleshooting Your Wireless Connection  but still cannot complete the installation process on the laptop. In my latest attempt to resolve the problem,  I marked the 8600 as shared on the XPS desktop system, as suggested in another post, but suspect that would only affect USB-connected printers, not those that are wirelessly connected.
    When I downloaded the HP Hardware Diagnostic Utility (HPHDU), it also was able to find the printer on the LAN but displayed a message: "We're sorry but the OfficeJet Pro 8600 N911g in not supported by this utility".
    Can anyone offer a suggestion as to why the 8600 install worked successfully when initially loaded on my laptop but I cannot reload it? That could provide a clue as to what is blocking the reinstallation on the laptop. As I said, the desktop s/w loaded successfully and I can access the 8600's functions from there. Each of the HP utilities I downloaded from HP and have run on the laptop can find the 8600, but none can complete the s/w load so that I can use the printer from the laptop.
    The LAN also has an Ethernet link to a HP OfficeJet 7310 that can be accessed from any PC on my network, so I reluctant to entirely remove all HP software so I can at least have one printer operational. I feel like I am on the bleeding edge of technology so any help is appreciated!
    Thanks.

  • Google cloud print for officejet pro 8600 - could not get printer information from hp.

    I just purchased a new OfficeJet Pro 8600 today. Everything seems to work great except for the connector to Google Cloud Print. I can print from AirPrint, as well as emails to the hpeprint.com address, but when I try to register via the google site, I receive the "could not get printer information from HP" error message.
    The printer is connected via wireless ethernet, and seems to work find otherwise. I have no restrictions on who can send print jobs, and I have changed the email address for hpeprint.com a few times, as suggested in other forum threads, but it can never connect to the the Cloud Print service. I am at the latest firmware level listed on the HP website. I have tried to initiate the connection from multiple PC's as well as multiple web browsers.
    This was a big factor in purchasing this printer. Help anyone?

    Hey rch33k, I am sorry for the ongoing issue that you are having accessing Google Cloud Print. This is being looked into as this is not a singular issue and is affecting other customers as well.  Engineers are currently investing this problem to try and provide a solution to it.  I want to again apologize and thank you all for your patience in this matter.  They only other thing to attempt at this time is to contact Google for further assistance to see if anything can be done on their end. Hopefully this will be fixed quickly
