| About - HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus |
|---|
| The HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus is an all-in-one inkjet printer with scan and copy functions, an automatic document feeder, built-in faxing, and both Wi-Fi and Ethernet networking. It works with both Windows and Mac OS. Individual cartridges for each color let you change only the ones that are empty. The capacity of the main paper tray is 250 sheets, a generous size. There's an automatic document feeder to let you copy or scan a stack of pages in one operation. The automatic document feeder can even copy or scan both sides of the pages. The printer has a large, 3.8-inch display screen that can preview photos to be printed from a memory card. It's got a touchscreen, used to control the printer. Like most color printers, the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus has a memory-card reader, which can accept these types of memory cards: Memory Stick, MultiMedia, Secure Digital. It lacks PictBridge for direct printing from cameras. You can connect directly to a PC with a USB cable, or to your network router either wirelessly with Wi-Fi or with an Ethernet cable. This model has built-in faxing, can store incoming faxes if the paper runs out, and can send faxes from an attached PC. |

Comment:
The set up process is simple. I first powered the printer and proceeded to use the printer's console or control panel to select answers to questions. It is touch sensitive like in smartphones. But I fat fingered the very first question: language. Ended with some form of Chinese or Japanese. No one at HP Support, HP Forums or Office Depot had any idea what to do next to change the language to English. Incredible! Having to mail it to them now. User documents do not provide telephones any longer. I did not like that for issues like this one.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

4 new printers, 4 failures

If it worked it would be a GREAT printer
Weakness
Quality
Very disappointed. After 4 different printers in 2 weeks (each one lasted less than 3 days before problems arose), we have given up on HP for our business. We quit buying HP printers a few years ago because of quality problems. We let ourselves be talked back into trying their new top of the line 8600. The first one had scanning/faxing problems after about 2 days (a line down the middle of the page). The second printer had the same exact problem. The third printer could not successfully set up because of print head issues and the forth started squeaking loudly after about 2 days. 4 new printers, four bad fails...Needless to say we are looking into other printers and definitely NOT HP. To their credit they replaced them as they failed, but holy cow... 4 for 4 ! We stopped the loss there when they offered to send the 5th printer out. HP quality used to be the best, but our experience the last few years puts them way down the list. A few years ago I wouldnt look at any other brand for a printer. Now I will no longer look at HP.

Does exactly what it claims it can do.Connected to laptop via wiFi
Weakness
None as of yet.
ADF seems to work well with standard copier paper.FAXs, copies, scans & prints - doesnt make coffee.Given the type of paper which I am using, printed photos are quite exceptable.I find it quite amazing that one could purchase this machine for $220.00 with FREE shipping.
