Have followed all the steps in previous post https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Software-and-Drivers/OfficeJet-Pro-8600-not-found-on-Windows-1... but still not able to install my printer onto my pc
Other pc on network with W10 could be installed without problem
I have deinstalled it , set the services Function "Discovery Provider Host" & "Function Discovery Resource Publication to manual, reinstalled everything and still the same
It finds the printer gives it's IP - I can ping/tracert that IP , I can select the printer found by the installer , but then it churns forever preventing to complete the last step of the install ...
Any other suggestion ?
