Hi @georgiegirl1947 ,

 I am a volunteer posting answers on my own time. 😊

I think you need to select some options in the installation process.

Let me show you my installation with the same driver.

I am using Windows 11 - Version 21H2, however this could be quite similar to Windows 10 installation process.

First download driver >> 

• >> Officejet Pro K8600– driver software – Windows 

Then double click driver for start installation>

• 

Click Install button

In the Review installation Options, select "HP software to be installed, click here to customize"

• 

Select only the first two options and click OK button for continue installation.

• HP Officejet Pro K8600
• HP Imaging Device Functions

• 

Then continue the software installation>

• 

• 

Select your connection> for the testing purpose I selected USB cable.

• 

Then click NEXT button.

• 

After this I just need to connect a USB cable to complete the driver installation.

Please let me know if your able to complete following these steps. 

Best regards, 

ferRX.
