HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus on a reinstall does not show up in Windows 10 " Printer and Scanners" app

[WillH2]

I recently had an issue with my user profile and needed to create a new one.  Upon creation of the new profile my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus does not show up in Windows 10 " Printer and Scanners" app.  It was suggested that I uninstall and reinstall the full printer application  for the HP Officejet Pro 8600 which I have done.  The printer still does not show up.  How may I correct this situation?   Many thanks for any help that can be provided to me.

I have gone through your Post and would like to help

I suggest you uninstall the printer driver from root level and download the full feature software

1.) In Windows, search for and open Programs and features 
2.) Select your HP Printer 
3.) Select Uninstall 
4.) In Windows, search for and open Devices and printers 
5.) In the Devices and Printers windows look for your HP printer. If you see it listed right-click on it and choose ‘Delete’ or ‘Remove Device’ 
6.) Open up the run command with the “Windows key + R” key combo.
7.) Type printui.exe /s and click Ok. (Note: there is a space in between “printui.exe” and “/s”) 
8.) Click on the “Drivers” tab 
9.) Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it Click on it and click Remove at the bottom 
10.) Select Ok 
11.) Select Apply and Ok on the Print Server Properties windows 
12.) Close Devices and Printers
13.) Restart the computer and download the Full Feature Software from Here and follow the onscreen Instructions

Keep me posted how it goes 😊
