No value in this printer for me, just another purchase I regret for not spending the extra money to get a separate printer and scanner.Įverything else, I am happy with, but the scanner is absolute garbage.Neither HP’s online support nor the printer’s User Guide offered any relevant advice. You can reduce the file size a 10-15% more with file compression software, but again it drops the quality.
We are talking average quality at best with this file size. Just an example, the best I could do with a 12 page black and white file is about 7 MB File Size, and that is sacrificing some quality. I unfortunately did not see them before I purchased, or I WOULD NOT HAVE DONE SO!!! I have spent numerous hours trying to weak it with the included software, and the range goes from horrible quality to huge file sizes.
Google the scanner problem and you will see many complaints about it.

You will have to purchase additional software like Adobe Acrobat Pro to be content with the scanner performance. I have used some higher end HP printers that do an excellent job on scanning in reference to file size and output quality, but obviously this is where HP made it's cuts on this printer. I have spent all of m y time scanning documents, and then having to use online file compression software to try to reduce the size. If you plan to use this to scan documents frequently, DO NOT BUY IT, AS IT WILL FRUSTRATE YOU TO NO END!!! You CANNOT find a good balance between output quality and overall file size with the scanner with the software included. I WISH I HAD WENT AHEAD AND SPENT THE EXTRA MONEY, AND NOT BOUGHT THE HP OFFICEJET PRO 8600 PREMIUM. I was originally going to purchase an HP LaserJet, and also a Fujitsu ScanSnap scanner. You can find all the glowing reviews out there, but BUYER BEWARE IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO USE THE SCANNER FOR DOCUMENT SCANNING!!! So I will not use this opportunity to highlight those things. There is a lot of good to say about the printer and features, which can be found all over the internet, as I did my research and decided that this was he printer to buy. Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-ownedīottom line, it you plan to use the scanner, you will be frustrated!!! I am lucky enough to be able to stick with ethernet and/or USB. Then it's a hope and pray issue which, after 15-years of wireless HP printer issues, I have yet to resolve. I can see this being a major issue if you need to connect a printer to your router, wirelessly.
For me, an ethernet connection works fine in most instances as long as I can get to it through a wireless router and wifi from the computer. I have one HP wireless Laserjet that does work correctly. not sure why HP printers have such crappy wireless radios but all of the last six HP inkjet's have had defective wireless radios. I have always used better than average paper so that helps with the printed end result. On mine(several) I've always used HP ink until this last one in which I used LD Products ink. Other than that, which is a big issue, these 8600's are really nice printers. HP OJ8600 Premium(911n) is a great printer except for:Īs with most any wireless printer, and I've had many over the years, all HP, the wireless radio is crap.
