Customer Reviews

While this printer has many nice features, especially airprint, it has a MAJOR design flaw. I bought this unit specifically for the second paper tray. Most people that buy a printer based on it having 2 trays, is so that one tray can be used for plain paper and the other for envelopes. Envelopes must be placed in tray 1. No options. Here's the problem: I have envelopes in tray 1, plain paper in tray 2. I set up Word to pull from tray 2 for normal printing, tray 1 for envelopes. Problem solved, right? Not quite. The printer has a preference menu which includes "default tray". I tried to set tray 2 as default - that is where my plain paper is - it only shows tray 1. It will not give the option of selecting tray 2 as default. Then why is this option even there I assumed a firmware update would fix this so I called Pakistan and talked to Bob, Richard, and Sally (who do they think they're fooling, if your name is Habib, then say so) and got nowhere. To my surprise, an AMERICAN from HP called me back later, actually he was Canadian, nice guy and 7000 miles closer and said he was checking into this. He talked to engineering and called me back again to tell me the bad news. Some engineer, that would be looking for another job right now if he worked for me, said that is the way the code is written. Sorry. Knowing they will not give the option of selecting a default tray, then why not make tray 2 the default since envelopes can not be placed in tray 2?

Here's the scenario: I have envelopes in tray 1, plain paper in tray 2. Remember, envelopes can't go in tray 2. With tray 1 being the printer default, I must now go through the hassle in every program I use, to manually select tray 2 in printer options (within the program) every time I print, or else it will try to print a full page on an envelope. This half brained design also renders eprint and airprint useless because neither of these will let you choose a tray. If you use either of these, IT WILL PRINT FROM TRAY 1. Dear HP, I'm sure there are alot of software/firmware designers that are looking for a job. You SHOULD have an opening after this fiasco.

Footnote: I would gladly pay an extra $30 for a printer and know that I could talk to an AMERICAN when I needed tech support. If you brought those jobs back over here, there would be more AMERICANS buying your ill designed printers.

UPDATE: A very nice and knowledgeable AMERICAN from HP called today(11/16/11), and told me the first guy was wrong. There is a simple fix for this: Boot up printer without tray 2 installed. Shut down and unplug. Install tray 2 and reboot. BAM! There it is. Problem solved beacuse somebody that knew what they were talking about was actually on the other end of the phone. I now take back what I said about HP engineers, not customer service (Pakistan), just the engineers. I also found out that had I not written this review on Amazon, my problem would still not be solved. I will give HP alot of credit for monitoring what people are saying and taking action. Thanks HP.

After reading many reviews on many different printers I took a chance and went with the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium in spite of the negative write-ups about the second paper tray issue. Based on the information given in these reviews, I decided to setup the printer to my home network initially without the second paper tray installed. It took all of about 20 minutes to unbox and have it printing via a wireless router. After the initial setup, with the advice from other reviews, I shut it off, unplugged it, installed the second tray, turned it back on and "wala"...both trays showed up in the menu. I set tray 2 as the default and everything is working great. After registering the printing I received an email from HP that said I was going to "Love my 8600 printer" and I have to say so far, so good. I tested all of the functions (print, scan, fax, copy) without a glitch. The OCR software worked great on a couple of scanned forms. The two sided option is a real paper saver and the draft mode prints are exceptional compared to other printer I have owned. In the first two days I printed over 100 sheets without a jam or any other issues. I installed the provided software on three other computers, two laptops and one other desktop and all are printing fine. Kudos to HP on this one, although they might put a bulletin out to do the initial setup without tray 2 installed and then shut it down and unplug before putting on tray 2...It worked fine for me. For $250 from Amazon, no tax, no shipping cost it's a great value.
