I have needed to make high resolution scans recently. My HP OfficeJet 8600 Plus printer software crashes saying I have insufficient memory available. I have 8Gb at the moment. Am I likely to be able to make the scans I want if I add another 8Gb. Thanks

have you tried updating the drivers, as I very much doubt thats a system memory issue. It could be an issue with the memory inside the printer.
And you should scan at the optical resolution of the scanner and use a graphics program like photoshop to enlarge if you really need too.

no way a hp scanner uses more than 8gb memory. Update the drivers.
The HP 8600 series are online permanently and stay updated automatically. I don't have to do anything. I did check though and the latest are installed. The feature is there for a reason, but if I use it it fails on lack of memory. I will speak to HP and see what they say.
