Officejet Pro 8620 All in One Will No Longer Scan in Color

Hello,
I have an Officejet Pro 8620 all in one.  I was scanning a few items last night and the first few items came out in color fine. Then all of the sudden as I continued to scan the next few images would only scan in black and white.  I cannot seem to get the scanner to scan in color again.  How can I fix this?  I did not change any settings or anything while I was scanning so I do not know why the sudden change to black and white?  I am on a Mac computer with all newest operating system etc.  
Thanks in advance

Hi there
I have some more suggestions for you to try. Please try them in order I have written them in.
Reset the printing system
Repair disk permissions
Restart the Mac
Install the Full Feature Driver here: HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers
In addition, download this Apple driver: HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X
That should do the trick!
Good luck

  • HP Officejet Pro L7780 All-in-One Will Not Print Blue Ink - It Prints Pink Instead

    HP Officejet Pro L7780 All-in-One -
    Issue:
    Blue ink will not print (It prints the color pink instead.).
    Actions taken:
    1.  Cleaned ink heads.
    2.  Replaced ink cartrige.
    3.  Reinstalled software.
    Sugestions by HP customer service:
    Purchase a new printer: Because the issue is software related - not reading the blue ink cartrige.
    Any suggestions or advice would be very much appreciated.
    Thank you for your time!
    Thank you.
    Sincerely,
    Ryan

    The cyan portion of the printhead may be clogged.  I would suggest running the diagnostics shown here.  If three levels of cleaning of the printheads does not resolve the issue you may need a new printhead.

  • Officejet Pro 8620 All in One installation

    This is a nightmare. I have installed dozens of printers over the years but never one this difficult. We have a wired network with one server and 4 dell clients. After much difficulty - uninstlling, shutting down start up items, disabling services re-installing drivers and hours of looking for solutions on the net, I finally got the Windows 8.1 Dell all in one to work with the printer. Had to go through the same process, several times, to get the Dell 8.1 laptop to work with the printer. The Dell Vostro Windows 7 machine worked pretty well straight away. The 4th machine a pretty new Dell desktop, Windows 8.1 just refuses to play the game. I have used all of the HP troubleshooters, the Microsoft Fix It uninstall, cleared temp files, uninstalled many times, reinstalled many times and followed everything I could find on the Dell and HP sites but this thing will not connect. The desktop finds the printer on the network no problem. It starts the install, the icon appeare in printers and devices briefly (hover over icon - "driver unavailable") and after about 5 minutes the icon disappears and you get the - screen with the printer and the computer and a big red X on the connection. The message reads "Unsuccessfrl Network Installation" - " The printer was unable to be installed over the network." I have used both the CD's provided with the printer and the HP download at various and numerous times but still no go. Just don't know where to go from here. I have never had a problem installing any printer before. This is a nightmare that I have spent at least 20 hours working on.  

    Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums, and thanks for posting! I can certainly understand your frustration with this installation issue, and I would like to help. If I understand correctly, you are having an issue installing your HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One printer over a wired network, on your Windows 8.1 desktop. What I suspect, is that it has something to do with the driver on your computer. Windows 8 has an annoying habit of installing multiple instances of your printer's driver. For example, even if you have installed the printer with the full HP software, because the Operating System can see the printer wirelessly, it may automatically install a driver from Windows update as well. So here's what I suggest we do; Let's check your printer's folder for multiple "HP Officejet 8620" icons. From your desktop, either swipe right to open the charms bar, or press Win key + C on your keyboard.Select settings from the bar on the right.Select Control PanelUnder Hardware and Sound, Select Devices and Printers. Let's remove all the software and start fresh. Right click on each icon you see for your 8620 (even if there is only one) and select Remove Device, or Delete. Once the printer has been removed, we want to do a cleanboot of the computer. This will turn off any non-essential programs that boot up when you start your computer (so if there is something installed that is hindering the installation, this should bypass it). You can follow the steps here to do a cleanboot -  How to perform a clean boot in Windows  Once the computer has restarted, download and run the HP Printer Install Wizard. It'll automatically detect your product and install the most recent driver package available from HP. Please respond to let me know if we have resolved the issue!Keeping my fingers crossed.

  • Hp officejet pro 8600 all in one prints but won't scan

    I have recently moved house and changed my wireless router from BT to Virgin.
    I am running OS X 10.9.5
    I am able to print from my mac without issue, however, it has stopped scanning. I have managed to get it to work twice on isolated instances but it won't work consistently.
    I have unistalled the software and reinstalled via the HP download page but when I open HP Scan and click scan it asks me to choose which scanner - mine is selected, it then says preparing to scan and it does that for ages until it says it can't get a connection.
    My printe r is a HP Officejet Pro 8600 All-in-one N911g - I am not bothered that much about scanning from the printer to the computer (I have tried to enable this option and it won't let me) I just want to be able to open HP Scan and press scan and it scan on my computer.
    Any advice appreciated - thank you

    Hi there @Steph390 , welcome to the forums!
    I have some suggestions for you to hopefully correct the scanning issue you are having. Please feel free to reply back and let me know the results!
    1. Try power cycling the network devices:
    Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
    Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer.
    2. Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
    3. Repair disk permissions
    4. Restart your computer.
    5. Re-add the printer
    Once the printer is connected on the network, follow these steps to maintain the wireless connection, normally a static IP will help out quite a bit: Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection
    Good luck to you

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 All-In-One Inkjet Printer

    Hello, I have an HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 All-In-One Inkjet Printer.  It started out working fine, but the touchscreen got lighter and lighter and would finally go out.  Now, I cannot see the screen at all and therefore am unable to use the printer.  I tried to delete the printer from my computer and reload the driver, but the driver requires that I use the touchscreen to initiate installation of the wireless capabilities and so forth.  Without being able to have the touchscreen light up, I am unable to see and follow the directions to hook it back up to the computer.  Any ideas?  Does HP make a replacement touchscreen for this product?  I bought this one because I have another one that works perfectly at home and was hoping to use this one at work.  Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @Wayne3
    I saw your post about how the display screen on your Officejet 8600 has gotten lighter and lighter until the display was unreadable. I have a few ideas in mind that might help you.
    Update the firmware on the printer with a USB cable plugged into the printer, and computer.
    Click here to download the firmware update: HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a Firmware
    Try a power reset and ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help greatly.
    Press the Power button to turn on the product.
    With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
    If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
    I hope the steps help you! If the screen continues to have the same problem, give us a call to see what your printer options are:
    Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assis​t.html

  • Paper Jam error message due to broken gear on Officejet Pro 8500 all-in-one printer

    3 year old HP Officejet Pro 8500 all-in-one printer (haven't used it much). Keeps telling "Paper Jam" although there is no paper jammed anywhere (searched meticulously with a flashlight after watching HP's tutorial videos on how to clear paper jams). I started searching on the Internet and found a couple of related videos on Youtube that pointed me in the right direction:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMFW1RRlDHEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwbF2Vs_0gQ  I could hear a clicking noise on that area of the printer each time I turned it on, so I carefully took the black cap apart that was hidding the gear, and confirmed I had the same problem as in the youtube videos above. See picture below showing the white plastic gear part that has a large crack which causes the Paper Jam error message and renders the printer unusable. After Googling a little bit, seems like a relatively common issue and wonder why such a part like that is not made of a stronger material like metal (planned obsolescence maybe?). Does anybody know if there is a way of replacing the broken gear?  (I really care for the environment and I would like to avoid having to throw the relatively new and expensive all-in-way printer away) Thanks a lot in advance for the advice!

    Hey ,  Thanks for posting in the HP Support Forum.  I do see that a cracked gear in your HP Officejet Pro 8500 All-in-One Printer is impeding all functionality.  I would like to help you with this but that particular part is not replaceable.  I recommend you reach out to our tech support team to find out what servicing options you have available. You can click on the following link to initiate a case: www.hp.com/contacthp/
    Once you fill out the online form to create your case you can choose from different direct contact methods. I hope this helps. Regards,

  • HP Officejet Pro 8610 All-in-One Printing Preference does not have Print Last Page First option

    HP Officejet Pro 8610 All-in-One printer:  Printing Preference missing Print Last Page First option.  Print lots of multipage documents.  Spending enormous amount of time resorting pages. 
    Prior to this printer?  .... grab printed stack -  staple  -  DONE! 
    Now?   Have to resort every document!
    Anyone out there have a solution?

    Reply to mkjohnson42. It doesn't matter what application I'm in. The option is NOT there. Just to confirm, I started from Word 2010, Excel 2010, a web page using Internet Explorer, Foxfire and Chrome. Plus, I did the old stand-by of going to Printers and Devices>Preferences. Under Preferences I have the choice to print on both sides of paper but NO Print Last Page First. I REALLY did check ALL of this before resorting to the Community. So, I really don't understand your question. Sorry.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro L7680 all-in-one: Does it have internal stored memory?

    Same question as the last post only for a differnet printer model (sorry for what may seem like a duplicate question - I'm just trying to be sure I don't cause myself a headache later).
     I have an HP OfficeJet Pro L7680 All-In-One (FAX/Scan/Print/Photo) printer that I'd like to get rid of it.  Before I dispose of it, and for security purposes, I'd like to know if there's an internal hard drive that could potentially be storing anything I may have copied, scanned or faxed.

    Hello sixmil5, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! I see you have concerns about the printers internal memory.  The memory is automatically reset when the printer power is unplugged, so you should have no issue with personal information being saved.  Thank you for posting on the HP Forums and please let me know if you have any other questions.
