Is there a way to use wireless direct with the officejet pro 8600?

I assume that by wireless direct you mean "air print"

There are reports of both success and failure for the 8600

It may be that your older printer is missing WPA2 and airprint is failing if only wep or wpa is possible

Check your printers firmware date and verify it is May 2022

if it is older then install the latest https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL40120/bi-108858-4/Full_Webpack-1312_1-OJ8600_Full_Webpa...

 

then try the airprint as suggested above.

 

the users guide is here but it does not mention airprint
