Where is the Often Referred to "Toolbox" for the OfficeJet 8600 plus

The Printer Assistant reached by the Control Panel is not the same format as the one loaded when I first installed my printer.  That Printer Assistant was a complete dashboard.  I don't know when it disappeared from my desktop but it is no longer there.  I would like to have it back but I don't know how to find it.

Hi JLDNE,
Thank you for your reply!
I would try the following:
1.) Firmware update. Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates.
2.) Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
3.) Use the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows for the re-install.
Hope this helps, and have a great day!

    Hi,
    Tap Copy on the printer front panel, then tap the Settings button.
    Tap Quality and select Draft / Fast.
    Tap Set as New Defaults and then select Yes to confirm the changes.
    From now on draft quality will be used for copying unless any other quality will be selected.

  • How do i print from my ipad to the officejet 6500a plus?

    I read there may be something else required. I want to print directly to the Officejet 6500A Plus. Apple says ths is an Air Print printer capable of doing that. I'm not taking this monster out of the box until I know it will do what I want without a lot of trouble. Thanks.

    Ok, so you were talking about needing the update.  It's hard to say as it all depends upon if it came with the new firmware or not.  It is not really relevent, however, since it will update itself upon enabling Web Services.  This process takes only a few minutes.  There is no computer necessary for the firmware update as long as the printer has internet access (i.e. connected directly to a router via either ethernet or wireless).  Yes, with an ad hoc connection, you will be able to print from the iPad, but you would have to use its 3G connection as opposed to going through your router.  It can only support a single wifi connection also.  Go ahead and set up the printer and keep me posted as to what happens.
    BTW - What is the issue with your PC that it cannot access the internet?

  • Officejet 8600 Plus e N911g - Workaround for Toolbox Ink Level display

    This is with a hard wired Ethernet hookup. I bypassed the router so as to eliminate any problem passing signal thru. It worked with and without the router.
    Until HP comes up with a fix for the two way communication problem that everybody is having, I stumbled on a way to workaround this.
    1. Turn printer OFF
    2.Start HP Officejet 8600 program from desktop icon or from HP folder in Programs.
    3.Select "Estimated Ink Levels" from Shopping Resources.
    4. Toolbox (Network) should appear. (The computer is unable to establish two-way communication with the device.)
    5.Turn printer ON
    6. Select "Estimated Ink Level " tab. Ink levels should appear. If not, then select "Refresh" once or more times.
    All other tabs should  also be available. This will only work one time. You will have to turn printer OFF again and start procedure over.
    This worked on Windows 7 x64 and Windows XP 32bit both on the same network with a Linksys DIR-655 router.

    Hello, 
    If you are referring to the printer display in your below description "Then abt 6-weeks ago the display option for Scanning and Display Ink Levels just disappeared,", then i guess you may have to do the follwoing....
    1> While the printer is ON, unplug all the cords from back of the printer.
    2> Wait for full 60 seconds.
    3> plug in the power cord directly into a wall outlet ( bypass the surge / power strip ) and then into the printer.
    4> If the printer is not powering on, press the ON button once to do so.
    5> If the display issue still exists, then try tilting the display.
    6> If issue still persists, then call HP Tech Support for further assistance.
    If you are in US , the toll free # is 1-800-474-6836 .
    If you are not in US , then log on to www.hp.com , at bottom-left corner there is a world map icon, click on it and then select the region you belong to, which would then provide support options for you for that region.

  • Will the officejet 6500a plus be ready for printing when the mains supply is turned on

    I am considring the purchase of an Officejet 6500a Plus (duplex is a prime reason) it will be used in a home office environment with Win 7 operating system. I can remotely swithch on the mains supply to the printer and router. Will the printer be available to print (after start up checks) without further intervention?  eg. do i need to depress the start button on the printer?
    Many thanks in anticipation Jimbow

    The printer should come up "ready" after a minute or so and accept print jobs without any intervention on the front panel.  
    That said, it would be much better to leave the printer turned on and let the automatic power management take care of putting the printer into a low power state.  If you remove power from the printer remotely there is a risk of having the printheads not properly capped after a print job.  This can cause the printheads to dry out, causing print quality issues.  It will also result in extra ink being used when the printer power is restored as more servicing will be performed on the printhead.

  • Wireless configuration for HP OfficeJet 6500A plus All-In-One printer on Ubuntu 10.04

    I have bought a HP OfficeJet 6500A plus All-In-One printer CN557A, which I want to use with ubuntu 10.04 64-bit as a wireless network printer.
    Before i bought i checked compatibility on www.hplipopensource.org and www.openprinting.org, and all was in order.
    The machine is autodetected and fully functional when connected with a usb cable, but i have not managed to get it to work as a wireless printer.
    This is what I did:
    I configured the printer on the wireless network (through the printer interface), and it connects. It prints out a "Wireless Network Test Report", and everything works. I can ping to its local ip adress, and access it through the browser. HP eprint also works.
    I installed hplip 3.11.10 and dependencies manually. I did this because the default hplip in ubuntu 10.04 did not recognise the device.
    I ran 'hp-check', which gave no errors or warnings:

    I then ran 'sudo hp-setup', chose the device (which was detected), chose my wireless network, entered the wireless security key. On the configuration results dialog I get two messages:
    "Your printer has been succesfully configured on the wireless network. You may now unplug the USB cable"
    and
    "The Ethernet cable is plugged in which will prevent you from connecting to a wireless network. To connect wirelessly, remove the cable and try again. (VSA000)"
    There is no ethernet cable plugged in, so i can't remove it. I unplug the USB cable and click 'finish'. This makes the 'hp-setup'-dialog start over again, and the printer has not been installed.
    In the terminal i have the following:

    A friendly soul on ubuntuforums pointed out to me, that the wireless configuration is only necessary when the printer is NOT connected to a (W)LAN. So all I really had to do was to configure the printer in the CUPS administation page, and it worked. Problem solved. Silly me.

  • Does the Officejet 8600 Pro Premium N911n printer perform auto tray selection?

    I have an Officejet 8600 Pro Pemium N911n printer,  CN577A with two trays. My Operating Sysem is Win8,64bit,there are no error messages, no system changes.
    The HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in One series User Guide states that By default, the printer draws media from Tray1.If Tray1 is empty, the printer draws media from Tray2(if it is installed and loaded with media. I have Tray lock disabled ,Tay1 the default Tray and Automatic Tray Selection enabled.Prior to making these selections,I contacted HP support via email to report that this option was not working. I received a response that there is no method that will automatically select a tray when one tray is empty. The User 's manual states otherwise..This option might not work but it is part of this series of printers. I have both trays loaded and I will determine if it works after Tray1 is empty. Does anyone have one of these printers and the auto Tray function works? Thanks.

  • Scan to computer as PDF for HP OfficeJet 8600 Pro plus e results in a single pdf doc.

    Hello. I have previously scanned docs to my computer running Windows 7 Ultimate using this printer with no problem. However, I think I did them as "everyday" format. Today I had 5 documents to scan to computer so I could have elec copies and also could attach them to emails. When I was done with one doc the screen asked if I had another to scan. I clicked "yes" rather than done. To my dismay all the docs came out fine as PDF on my computer, but they were all connected as a single doc.??? How do I do multiple can to computer as PDF so they result in separate docs?
    Thanks

    Hello @mjomega,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand your Officejet 8600 is scanning single documents, instead of multiple documents. I will do my best to assist you! When scanning multiple pages, it's a lot easier to perform this option from your computer using the HP software.
    I am going to provide a HP document on How to Scan: Windows 7. Click on "How to scan multiple pages into a single file". This will allow you to scan from the Printer Assistant.
    Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

    Those are not OEM....no way....as MSI doesn't make Diamond Plus OEM boards.....
    However, MSI does warrant those boards in full if you can show a proof-of-purchase.
    These are NOT OEM.
    Anyway, if you don't need the cables and stuff, it's a good deal.
    OEM boards have different numbers and BIOS, they are not the same.
    If what you said is true, and if I could "buy" the plate for the back of the computer I would do it. 
    Here is my last chat with Newegg.com
    Chat InformationPlease wait while we connect you to a Newegg representative. You are number 2 in the queue.
    Chat InformationThank you for contacting Newegg. My name is Allen. How may I assist you today?
    Tim: Item #: N82E16813130037R says OEM but MSI does NOT make this board in an OEM version. Is it just safe to assume they are open boxes or retruns?
    Allen: this is an open box item/refurbished
    Tim: ok, is it possable then that it would come with all the cables and stuff?
    Allen: no Sir, just by itself
    Allen: has only 15 days for a refund
    Allen: no guaranty from manufacturer
    Tim: would it be coverd by the MSI 3 year warantee
    Allen: I am afraid no
    Tim: errr. and if you send it back for a refund is there a "restocking fee?"
    Allen: contact us with a reason and we will waive that fee for you
    Tim: thanks for your time Allen
    Allen: Welcome

  • Very slow printing after upgrading to Mavericks and reinstalli​ng HP s/w for an Officejet 8600?

    Before upgrading to Mavericks, my HP 8600s (have 2) would zing at printing.  Now they are incredibly slow.  I had to do a Restore after my operating system upgrade and after that, the HP folder was not in the Applications Folder.  That caused me to reiinstall the HP s/w for the 8600  which I downloaded from the HP website taking care to download and install exactly as was prescribed for the Mavericks scenario.  I'm wondering if the problem is that I chose the bonjour versions of each printer when I reinstalled to each printer.  
    An idea of what I mean by slow is a one and half page letter is taking over 5 minutes to print whereas it used to print at about 30 seconds.
    I need some help on this ASAP because my home-office is at a standstill.  Many thanks.

    Hi BerniePiel,
    Choosing the Bonjour version means you have chosen the wireless option. Bonjour is a technology that is built into Mac OS and iOS. This technology discovers devices such as printers that are installed on the same network as a Mac or Apple mobile device. Bonjour is the default method for discovering devices on a network.
    I can certainly help you with this. When you added the printer, did you add the printer with the 'AirPrint' driver or are you using the HP driver? Us the screenshot below to help you check.
    If you do not see AirPrint next to your printer name as shown above, delete the printer and re-add it. When you click the plus symbol you need to choose 'add another printer or scanner', then select your printer and choose the HP driver next to 'Use'.
    If the issue persists, or you were already using the HP driver, try the following steps.
    Reset Printing System
    Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click  System Preferences.
    In the Hardware section, click  Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan  dialog box opens.
    Right-click (or  Ctrl  +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
    Click OKto confirm the reset.
    Type the correct  Name and Password.
    Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
    Repair Disk Permissions 
    On the Dock, click Applications, and then click  Utilities.
    Double-clickDisk Utility.
    Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
    Click the Repair Disk Permissions  button at the bottom of the window.
    Once the repair is complete, restart the computer.
    Restart the computer
    Once these steps have been complete, re-add the printer again, and print. Please let me know if this resolves the issue. If the issue persists I will gladly follow up and continue to work with you.

    Hi Babs,
    Unfortunately, there is not a separate brightness setting for the number pad.  If it is too bright for you, you might try turning down the brightness some in the setting you found earlier.
