My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air

[DaGrump]

I wanted to reply to previously entered questions about this issue but I couldn't see a way to do that...

In reading all of the responses it became clear to me that the problem is with the Macbook Air not being able to recognize when the HP 8600 has been given a new IP address, after a power failure for example. The simple fix is to turn your Macbook Air off and restart so it can re-establish the necessary connections. 

 I've always maintained that it is sensible to turn off any computer periodically so I tend to do it often. A Macbook Air does not naturally invite this common sense habit.
