HP OfficeJet Pro 8710 — Driver, Scan, and WiFi

The HP OfficeJet Pro 8710 is print, scan, copy, and fax with a color screen and ADF. Windows’ basic driver will print and then scan fails. You want the Full Feature / Full Software package from support.hp.com for “OfficeJet Pro 8710”, not a LaserJet UPD.

Easy Start and first WiFi

  1. Finish Wireless Setup on the printer (2.4 GHz) until the icon is solid
  2. If Easy Start cannot see it, add by IP from the network page — Easy Start cannot find printer
  3. Invalid password: invalid WPA passphrase

More WiFi: HP WiFi not connecting.

Scan and fax need the full driver

If you only used “Add a printer” in Windows, scan to computer and HP Scan will be missing. Uninstall the basic queue, install Full Feature, then re-add. On Mac, HP Easy Start / HP Smart plus the 8710 driver — AirPrint prints but scan is limited.

Printheads and ink

8710 uses HP 952 / 952XL. Streaks after sitting: clean from the Tools menu, not five deep cleans in a row. Carriage or “maintenance in progress” that never ends: maintenance in progress.

ADF and jams

Scan jams live in the ADF lid, print jams in the rear access. Paper jam fix. Nothing coming out: not printing.
