Officejet Pro 8600 shows up twice in the drop-down printer selection with different names each.

Yes, printing with the device works properly.

The wireless direct entry is not visible in the network menu (where it should be according to the manual).

Wireless direct entry will be visible under wireless menu if wireless direct is On... However as you are able to Print from the other icon (not the network icon) i assume wireless direct is Off coz you will not be able to print from wireless direct on printer if you are connected to the router.

I believe the Printer icon (not the network icon) has a WSD port assigned and is automatically discovered by OS and installed.

Go to service Window and check if you have any entry that says function Discovery Provider Host and see if it is started. Try to Stop the Servcie and than delete the printer icon (not the network icon)also from the Print Server properties.

Restart the PC and check if the icon comes back or try Uninstall and Re-install

Let us know the result

Thank you, the automatic WSD discovery seems to have been the reason for the second entry in the printer list.
