Printing files stored on a NAS with an Officejet Pro 8600

Sorry if this has been asked before but if it has I can't find it
Is there an app which will allow me to print some commonly used forms which I have stored on my NAS? (A bit like the Google docs eStorage app but direct from my NAS )
Thanks

Hello eimajgraham,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
Regarding printing from "NAS" to the Officejet Pro 8600 via an App, it would depend on the file format and if the "NAS" supports printing via an App.
What is the type device the App would be installed on, Apple, Android, etc? You could try using the HP ePrint App.

Can I print from my iPhone 4 using an HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a

Can I print from my iPhone 4 using an HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a. And if so how do I do this????

Hi stacy7560,
You can print from your iPhone4 to your 8600 using Apple's AirPrint feature. I have a few steps you can follow to do this:
1. Make sure the iPhone is on the same wireless network as your printer.
2. Select the mail application on the iOS device and open an email you wish to print.
3. At the top of the screen, locate and press the action icon.
4. Select the "Print" option.
5. Make sure your printer is in the top field of the Printer Options screen. If not, tap “Select Printer.” Your printer should appear.
6. Press the “Print” selection.
Note: To print a photo, follow these same steps once you have opened the image you wish to print.
Let me know if this helps.

How to print on envelopes C6/C5 with HP OfficeJet Pro 8600

With my printer HP Officejet Pro 8600 I want to print on envelopes C6/C5 (229 mm x 114mm or 9.0 inches x 4.5 inches).
The Officejet Pro 8600 support C5-envelopes and C6-envelopes but I could not find a comparable format C6/C5. Is it possible to make your own envelopes format and print on HP Officejet Pro 8600?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Grepolis,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you would like to be able to print on C6/C5 envelopes.
I will be happy to help you.
You could install the Deskjet 9800 as a generic driver which you would have different features available to you.
Making custom size prints.
Depending what operating system you are using. Here are the steps for Windows 7.
On the computer, go to start, devices and printers, select add printer.
Follow the steps, select HP and Deskjet 9800 from the list.
Set this one as the default printer.
Try creating a custom size envelope now with the generic driver.
Please let me know if you are not using Windows 7 and you need different steps.

Printing Envelopes Issue with HP Officejet Pro 8600

I have recently purchased the HP Officejet Pro 8600. I am upgrading from the Photosmart series. I use Windows 7 64bit operating system. I have no error messages
When I print a #10 envelope, the return address in the top left is partially cut off. I can't seem to adjust the margins to allow for the return address to print.
Additionally I would like to "save" some custom envelope sizes to accommodate my personal greeting card envelopes. My other printer allowed for more paper sizes than this one does.
Can anyone offer any suggestions with either of these issues?
Darrell

Hi there dlfant,
Check out the post here from Travis_C. He has some steps for installing other printer drivers that should give the functionality you are looking for and hopefully address the envelope issue you are experiencing. Give his steps a shot and let us know if it works out for you.
Best of Luck!

Printing duplex with HP Officejet Pro 8600 causes windows 7 OS to shut down/restart

Why when printing duplex with my HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer it causes windows 7( 64-bit) to shut down/restart. Windows message is "Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown. I've ran HP Hardward Diag. Utility and Print and Scan Doctor which indicated everything is working properly with the printer. Ocassionaly I can print duplex without windows shutting down and restarting, but most of the time it creates issue with Windows causing it to stop and restart. Single sided printing seems to be fine. I've already oncehad windows to "Startup Repair" in which ccase I selected restore to a previous working point. Everything worked for awhile then a duplex printing session starting causing windows to shut down again. THanks for your assistance.

Yes, the updated USB 3.0 driver corrects the issue and should be installed.

Webscan problem with HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer and OS Mavericks

I have an iMac with OS 10.9 Mavericks installed and an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus N911g printer. I recently downloaded the "HP-Inkjet-SW-OSX-Mavericks_v12.34.37" software update from the HP website but, since installing it, the image preview feature on Webscan now only shows a black screen and I cannot download the scanned image. I have uninstalled the update and reinstalled the old software - "Officejet-Pro-8600_v12.23.0" but the problem persists.
I am not sure if this is an HP problem or a Mavericks bug. Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated

The servicing when the printer is turned on is normal and is required to keep the printheads healthy (not clogged). See here for information.
As for power savings, the printer will automatically go into a low power mode when not printing for some time. It is not necessary to turn the product off and on to save power.

What other hp print drivers will work with the officejet pro 8600

I have an Officejet Pro 8600 and like many others here, I am having a problem printing a custom size envelope (6x9). I did find that I can use the drivers for a deskjet 450 and setup my 8600 using those drivers. However, the 450 6x9 does not have a portait option in the layout.
My question is, what other hp print drivers will work in the 8600? I'm hoping one will have a 6x9 portrait layout?

Hello wingcheck,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're receiving a problem printing a custom envelope size (6x9). You did state that you installed a Deskjet 450, but it doesn't come with a portrait option. I will do my best to assist you!
First, I need to find out your operating system on your computer? Windows or Mac?
If you have a Windows computer and using this Deskjet 450 driver, have you checked Devices and Printers on your computer to see if you have this portrait option:
1) Right click on the Deskjet 450, then click on Printer Preferences
2) Very top you should see a tab called "Finishing" and look for Orientation
3) You should see portrait, landscape, rotate by 180 degrees or mirror image.
4) Let me know if you don't have this option on this post
If not, then I would recommend installing a Deskjet 9800 to see if you have this option. Please follow this HP document on Installing an Alternate Print Driver in Windows 7 for a USB Cable Connection. When setting up this custom size, change the paper type to "Other Specialty Media". Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!
Hi Cheetah .... I don't have access to my printer at the moment due to travel, but here's what I have right now. My operating system is Windows 7 64. That's not much, but it is a start. I will have the additional information for you in a day or so. Something else I discovered in the user guide, which I didn't know, is that each tray will only handle specific media. So, when I print envelopes, I will have to use Tray 1 in order to do so.
Now I do have another question for you. Can I have installed, 2 different sets of print drivers at the same time without it causing a conflict? I'm assuming the diffenent driver will simply show up as a different printer in the listed printers, right?? Any way, thanks for your quick response, and upon arriving home, I will follow your previous suggestions. I will also keep you posted as to my success or failure.
Thanks

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,
Michael Peters

Printing directly on CDs/DVDs on a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium printer??

I have the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium and was wondering if I can print on CD and DVD discs with this printer and How do I do this?? And if not how do I print on DVDs and with what HP product do I use for it??

HP does not currently produce any printers that can print on CD/DVD's which includes the 8600.
Take a look at the Epson XP-810.

Scan issues with HP Officejet Pro 8600 that worked fine!Now, I have a problem----is it Dropbox?

Never had a problem, but now when I scan, and it goes straight to My Documents, when I go to open it, it's been replaced by an old picture. Every one of my darn documents has that old picture and I can 't find any of my documents. Please help. I do not have it hardwired in. I have reset the printer and my laptop, but this started a few months ago and I think it has to do with Drop box. I don't know what else to do.

Hi @joann2164
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. From your post, I understand that you are trying to scan to DropBox using one of the apps found on the front panel of your Officejet Pro 8600 printer.

Driver Issues with HP Officejet Pro 8600 and Windows 8

I have to reinstall the printer driver for my HP Office Jet Pro 8600 wireless printer each time I power up my laptop. I do not have any issues with this printer when using my PCs and my antroid tablet. Once the driver is reinstalled I can print my documents however it becomes "offline" whenever I log off and then log back onto my laptop.

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @Shrn
I read your post about how your printer will disconnect and show offline on your laptop, each time the computer is restarted. As this only happens on your laptop, the problem could be with a firewall running on your computer.
I would suggest checking your firewall settings and ensure you're allowing the printer to connect within the firewall.
This link may help: How to Edit Firewall Settings
You could also try running the Print and Scan Doctor when you restart your computer to see if this tool will pick up the printer on the network and connect it to your computer again.
Another option, would be to try a Clean Boot, which will turn off all Start Up Programs on your laptop to see if another program could be blocking the printer from connecting to it during a restart. Make sure to go back and enable the programs again after you have tested this out.
Let me know your findings and what happens!

Printing from Galaxy Note 2 to my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

Got a wireless router/modem and hooked it up to the computer was able to get the printer and phone to work perfectly. Signed up on the HP connected as well as the mobile app HPeprint. All was right with the world. Got another modem (new SBG6580 Surfboard Motorola) my newly added to the newwork connected and prints to the printer correctly but I am no longer able to print from my phone. The printer is on the network and HPconnected says all is correct. Any thoughts? Seems like there is an adjustment to be made with the phone.

Hi,
My suggestion: uninstall it (app) from your phone and then try again, this only take around 2mins max.
Regards.

Hi @dpm2591,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that you are unable to scan wirelessly with your HP Officejet 8600 pro on Mac OS X 10.10. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
I would recommend to start with going through this scanning guide, A 'Connection Error' or 'No Computer Detected' Error Message Displays When Scanning for HP Officejet....
Hope this guide works for you!

Copy problem with HP Officejet Pro 8600-always copys on both sides of paper

When I want to make a copy of a document, i.e., insert the document on the glass surface under the printer cover, I touch the copy function on the printer and the printer always makes a copy of the document on both sides of the paper. I do not know how to change the printer setting(s) in order to have a one sided copy feature.

Hi,
From the printer front panel click on Copy.
Click the Two Sided button and select "1 sided original - 1 sided copy".
Next click the Settings button, select Set as New Defaults and confirm, now 1 sided copy will default for any copy job.
