Having no issues printing to HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 from Ubuntu. Ubuntu found network printer and installed ok using closest driver "OfficeJet 8500".

However, scanner was not detected. I was wondering if anybody had luck with scanning in Linux from that particular device.

You need a recent hplip driver to enable scanning and proper A4/Letter detection for any HP multifunction driver. They print with some driver sometimes, and scan with some scanjet driver at limited resolution, but hplip enables full proper functionality.

  • I have an HP L7680 and xsane (scanner app) works great with it. I use the hplip driver.

  • hplip includes (compilable) sane backend and a cups printer driver...
