Then one maneuvers the MS New Printer steps towards printing to the TCP/IP port on which the 8600 is located and then specifies 'Have Disk' and points to that expanded folder. One downloads the Basic Driver package for the 8500 for Windows 7 64-bit, one does NOT install it, but one uses 7-Zip to expand it to a folder. I've done it three times now in my wife's SoHo. Hoping we would all waste their overpriced ink.īut it IS possible to download the 8500 drivers & associated software onto a Win 10 Pro 64-bit machine and connect it to the 8600 (or maybe even the 9015), and I think it's worth it. HP deliberately killed that drivers & associated software for its following OJP 8 600 (which we bought for our SoHo) and later models (like the 9015, which we also bought when the 8500 died).

Our now-dead HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 (Model A909g) all-in-one printer from maybe 2008 had very good drivers & associated software that let the user make default presets for Draft print mode (saves ink) with a popup Print Preview to avoid printing 100 pages by mistake when we want only 2.
