    Defective Product

    Just bought the Pro 8600 Plus.

    The setup seemed to go well until I tried to print. I got it to print the configuration page once but nothing else.

    In addition the touchscreen did not work properly. No matter what i touched it kept ending up in the wireless networking screen.

    I have never had a problem like this with any of my prior printers. I'm returning it and will purchase something else.

    Who writes the good review, HP must hire them

    HP could care less about Apple. They focus on PCs. They care so little their printer doesn't work 50% of the time. I could list a dozen faults, here are a few
    1. Chooses to clean its sensors and you can't opt out (always goes into this printless state after you've chosen to print something not waiting til its idle)
    2. Scanning kind of sort of works. Sometimes not. Can't figure out what I do or don't do to make the machine decide whether or not to scan.
    3. printer is hard wired to iMac, yet I get error messages that it's not available.
    4. you have to 'wake' the printer any time you want it to do something. Push something on its little panel. Otherwise no printing..
    LOTS of features that you'll never use. The 2 you need (print and scan) work only 50% of the time without a hitch.

    OfficeJet Pros, 8500/8600 have not been such a great experience. Lots of issues. Would not recommend any of them.

    HP Officejetpro 8600 Plus nightmare!

    Problems, problems, problems! Works perfectly with my IMAC Mac OS X 10.7.3, but not at all with my Macbook Pro OS X 10.7.4. I have had one of the best MAC certified technician trying to fix it with no success. We are waiting in line at HP trying to get some support. There's got to be someone who know's how to fix this???

    Buyer Beware

    This is a horrible printer. It has issues connecting to WifFi. To scan I had to activate scan each time - and it doesn't work. Have to reboot the printer n times. VERY SLOW scan and printer speed. Gosh...I could go on and on..
    Prior to this I owned a Canon and it was PERFECT. The only reason I went with HP is at that point it only supported AirPrint.
    I just might take a loss and buy a Canon now that they have firmware update for airprint.
    One of the worst printers ever...Buyer Beware

    Very difficult to connect to your wireless. Have to shut the printer off several times before it finally connects. I have been an HP customer for a long time and this is a product that I would not recommend unless you have the patience to turn on and off several times. Print quality is low at best - expected more from HP.

    HP 8600 Review

    • Written by from Glencoe

    I've had nothing but trouble with it. I called HP Customer Support and was directed to their "Leadstream" Department. I was told by Leadstream there are hardware problems and I should unplug and re-plug it. It worked for a while and then failed to print again. When I went through the drill another time, it printed 5 copies rather than one, wasting ink and paper. When it prints it is fine, but the printer is utterly unreliable.

    Called HP again. They told me to plug the printer into the wall and not a power bar. I told them I would use an extension cord given where my outlet is located. They said that may not work.

    I am going to return this while it is still under warranty. HP is a great company, but this product was apparently released before it was perfected.
