Reviews for HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One

I just bought The HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. I received it in the mail yesterday and only until today did I finally get the Airprint feature to work on it.
When I opened the box and got the printer set up everything worked great. I could print through wifi, I could print the eprint center, copy, scan and I dont have a hardline to fax but it all worked. The next task was to figure out the AirPrint feature. I wanted to print using my I phone but could't figure out how to print using AirPrint. Mostly because I didn't have all of the know how about my iPhone. So I talked to Apple Care and talked to a lady named vicky and she showed me how to search for the printer on my phone and then print. It really does have AirPrint people it just takes a little work to get there.

When I bought this printer the store employee told me that it would take about 20 minutes to get the printer installed. Well, after about 2 hours of work, I did get it installed on the LAN. However, none of our computers would recognize the printer even though the installation process indicated that the printer software had been successfully installed on each computer. At that point I left the whole mess and left the office. Surprisingly, the next morning our computers did recognize the printer. Unfortunately, when the computers gave a command to print a document, the printer only succeeded in printing about five pages before it quit working. The printer continued to attempt to pick up sheets of paper, but it failed to do so. We tried different weight sheets of paper, but no success. We have used many HP printers without serious problems, but this one is something different.

A simple review:
Wireless function unstable and intermittent.
Same result when wired to a network, intermittently nonfunctional.
Air print feature worked at first, then hopeless.
THIS PRINTER IS NOT A NETWORK PRINTER OR AN AIRPRINT PRINTER.
All this experience on a professionally set up and maintained network with no other problems.
Enough said.

I love this printer and hope that it lasts a very long time. It is fast and accurate, the wifi features are flawless. Thank you HP!

If you use repeaters to extend your wifi, the 8600 will be trouble to set up and to use wirelessly. The 8600 confuses Network Names (SSID) and there is no easy solution. Be careful. I regret buying it.

I've been using this printer for a month now. Setup was easy on my wireless network using the driver software it came with. I use it with my Macbook Pro running OSX 10.8.2, IPad 3, and IPhone 5 using AirPrint with no issues. I also have a Windows 7 pc that uses it over the wifi as well. It works good, it's fast and the output quality is very acceptable. I would recommend it.

I've had this printer for about 2 weeks and it has worked flawlessly. Easy to set up, easy to use, air print with my iPad and iPhone work perfect. I've used the scan to computer, the fax, printed labels, made copies and have no issues at all!

Tends to report a jam... when there isn't one.
Tends to constantly run diagnostics. And report nothing.
Love ink... I mean really alot.

This was a reliable, high quality printer that I used with my pc. Since I switched to a MAC OSX I have had nothing but trouble with the printer. I've downloaded the newest drivers from HP multiple times. It doesn't interface well with the computer and is a constant headache. It just stopped working again today, with or without a USB cable. The printer is still fairly new, and I'm highly disappointed. I've had a history of success with HP but will not be buying HP anymore with my MAC.
