HP OfficeJet Pro 8610 — a inkjet all-in-one. Supported on Windows 11 / 10 64-bit, macOS 12+.
Why the basic driver is not enough
The 8610 series ships a full-feature driver and a basic AirScan path; the full driver is required for duplex and scan-to-PDF.
Checking it is the right driver
- Open the device properties and read the driver name and version rather than trusting the model name on the box.
- Print or scan one page and compare it with the same job on a second machine, if you have one.
- If the job fails only on one host, the driver on that host is the suspect, not the device.
We keep the error codes that come with this class of device on the error pages; the codes are worth reading before a driver swap.

What a generic driver leaves out
A generic driver puts a document on the page and takes it back off again. The parts of the device it usually does not reach are the scanner, the duplex path, the tray selection, and anything the manufacturer exposes only through its own package. That gap is what pages in this section are about.
Driver pages here describe what the file library expects from a device when a scan or a print job is started from it. They are not a copy of the manufacturer’s manual, and where a model has been tested against the library, the page says so on the entry itself.
