Do Not Buy This Printer!
Cons: Does Not Meet Expectations, Set up, nothing about it worked properly
Despite the overall good ratings this all-in-one has been given, I would not recommend anyone purchase this machine as apparently some of them are real lemons, and you don't know which one you have until you try it. I've had other HPs before that worked great, but this machine was a problem from the get-go with the entire electrical system shot: it would freeze in the "on" position and would not turn off without being unplugged; after 3 to 10 minutes of being on the touch control panel would freeze so that you couldn't change the settings. It would not recognize a USB connection to the PC and would give a "not communicating" error when you tried to send something to print. I did not give up easily and had a professional IT rep try to help me configure it, who contacted HP after he had no luck, and even the HP tech could not get it to hold the printer connection settings. After that I gave up and, thankfully, my local OfficeMax was great and let me swap it for an Epson equivalent, which is working perfectly so far.

Good Buy
Pros: Easy to Use, Features
Cons: Does Not Meet Expectations, Set up
The HP Officejet Pro 8600 was a good purchase, but set-up was not so simple.
The 2 side copying feature is a separate set-up, which I did not know.

definitely skip this model
Cons: Features, Does Not Meet Expectations, Set up
this printer worked fine for about 8 months, then the trouble began - I won't bore you with all the details. But at first I could not scan more than 5 pages before I'd get an error message. It was still under warranty so I called HP - spent 3 hours on the phone with them and they could not fix it. I should have returned it right then and there, but stupidly I didn't. Now the "scanner actions" button has disappeared. I've now spent 3 hours trying to figure out what is wrong to no avail. The online HP support only makes things worse. I've unintalled and reinstalled the software several times. I did a system restore to back before this problem started. Did not help. So, now I cannot scan at all.

Buyer beware
Pros: Easy to Use, Features
Cons: Does Not Meet Expectations, will not print on thick stock paper
I bought this printer with high expectations after my trusty HP 5660 was no longer supported. The printer was simple to set up and the print was good for an inkjet. The issue I had with the 8600 was it would not pick up any paper out of the tray that was thicker than normal notebook paper. I tried printing on certificate paper, card stock, and even top quality HP photo paper and was unsuccessful. The printer would hum and click for several seconds then the “Paper Tray is Empty’ Icon would come on. It did this no matter how much paper was in the tray. After several frustrating attempts to print a picture on HP print paper I went on line to see if anyone else had this issue and if there was a fix for the problem. To my disappointment I found that this appears to be a common issue with this printer with no real solution. The next day I returned the 8600 to Office max and bought an Epson WF-3540. Kudos to Office Max and their return policy. I have had the Epson for two months now and have had no issues. It was easy to set up and the print quality is good. If you are thinking of buying the HP 8600 printer and and want to print on any paper thicker than normal 20lb copy paper forget it. Just go on line and read for yourself.
