I did not when I purchased. May have to connect computer to printer with USB cable if printer doesn't recognize/find your computer but after that you disconnect it and are wireless. I didn't even have to do that.
I have an error on my screen that reads, Printhead appears to be missing, not detected or incorrectly installed. This occurred while in between prints. I have removed the printhead and replaced it. Still receiving error. Suggestions?
Try updating the firmware on the printer itself, also uninstall reinstall the drivers, make sure that the printer is clean also try replacing the ink. If that don't work try looking at hp website for troubleshooting tips.
if i have an answer machine on the same line but separate area, how do i make sure the the fax goes to the fax and the calls go to the phone? will this work automaticly
Yes. Once you have the printer connected and the software installed, open the "HP Printer Assistant" and select "Fax setup Wizard". The wizard asks if you have a phone line on the same line as the fax and will also work with an answering machine that is on the same line as the fax. :-)
yes I print from my iPhone. you need to type HP in app search and there is a print app and a remote control. both are very cool and they work with your pics and anything from email or Internet as well as any screen grab. it does 2 sided also.
My new 8600 printer is very, very slow on regular printing. Specs say 18ppm B&W and 13PPM Color. It takes nearly 1 minute for one printed page. What is wrong? Thanks.
Unforunately, this printer does not support automatic two-sided scanning. You would need to look at either the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus or the Hp Officejet Pro 8600 Premium, both will support automatic two-sided scanning.
