Unable to enable an old HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g's web service.

Old (2012?) HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g's web service won't turn on from its internal embedded web server (its home page says its web services is not registered to ePrint), physical screen controls, and in mac OS apps (https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/softw..._Start.app.zip 2.10.0.201112 and Apple's App Store's HP Smart app). The printer does have an internal IPv4 address that I can access over wifi. Wireless (e.g., AirPrint) print works too. It doesn't seem to connect to the Internet or something? I don't think its web services stuff was enabled ever. I don't see any option to test its Internet connection. I recently found an Officejet 6600 and brought it home to play with it. The manual indicates that it is from around 2011, so might be similar to yours. It has two options to connect to a computer. Either "direct". Then it becomes a WIFI hotspot itself, but has no connection to the internet. And another option (can't check right now what it's exactly called), where it serves as WIFI client. When setting it up it shows a list of WIFI ESSIDs it found. Select your and provide the PIN for it. That way it becomes part of your WIFI home network. That way it also has access to the internet. -- Andreas PGP fingerprint 952B0A9F12C2FD6C9F7E68DAA9C2EA89D1A370E0 |
