How do I get an Office Jet 6500A to print on Card stock?

How do I get an Office Jet 6500A to print on card stock. It pushes the card stock through the printer but will not print and tells me I have not selected the right print media. There is no selection for card stock.  I have tried every selection.  I assume there are other media definitions that can be downloaded but they certainly are not apparent.  I have been doing this job on all my other HP printers for years.  Suddenly this printer balks.

Hi,
Page #22 of the manual says (must be the same as photo paper ?):
To load cards and photo paper
1. Lift the output tray.
2. Slide the paper width guide out as far as possible.
3. Insert the media print-side down along the right of the main tray. Make sure the media aligns with the right and back edges of the tray and does not exceed the line marking in the tray. If the photo paper has a tab along one edge, make sure the tab is pointing towards the front of the printer.
4. Slide the media guides in the tray to adjust them for the media size that you have loaded.
5. Lower the output tray.
6. Pull out the tray extender.
And the manual is : h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02519721.pdf

    Hi midandco,
    I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
    I would also suggest running your Apple updates:  OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
    After the updates, I would recommend readding the printer with theOS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
    Please let me know.

  • How to rollback driver for Office Jet 6500 APlus Printer

    I recently updated the driver for my Office Jet 6500 APlus printer and do not find it to be useful or efficient for my purposes. The printer is connected wirelessly  to a Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop PC running Windows 7 Home Premium. Can anyone tell me how to roll back the printer's driver to the one previously installed which is the one that came with the printer when it was purchased about 4 or 5 years ago.

    Hello oldhand,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having some printing issues since you have updated the driver.
    I have a few steps that I think will help us.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    I am also going to give you detailed instructions for Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once the printers software and drivers have been removed, please click on the following link for the HP Officejet Full Feature Software and Driver.
    Please fee free to write me back if you have any other questions.
    Cheers,

  • How do I get my office jet 4500 printer back online to print

    Please help with my Question to get 4500 printer back online

    What operating system does the computer use?  This will be good to know if any steps need to be performed from the computer.
    Offline and Online in Windows can refer to network and USB connected printers.  Is the printer connected over a network or by a USB cable?
    If over a network, what brand and model is the router?  Also, is it wireless or wired (Ethernet)?

  • How do I get my office jet 5742 to email scanned documents?

    How can I email scanned documents?  

    Hi,
    Please try:
    You need to enter a valid email address, and the printer will send a 4 digit validation code to that email address. When you enter the code into the panel, it will register the email and you will be able to scan documents to send to any or all of the addresses that are defined to the printer as valid. The scanned item can be a document or a photo. The documents are sent as PDF's. The scan is routed to HP's e-print center, then routed to the address you specified. I'm not sure about the privacy issues involved in this, but the capability to do this exists, and seems to work well, but you need to wait a few minutes for the document to appear in your email.

  • Just purchased a office jet 6500A Plus so that I can print from my iPhone and iPad. I can print form my iPhone but my iPad 2 tells me there is no air printer available.  Why does one device recognize the air printer but the other device does not?

    Just purchased a office jet 6500A Plus so that I can print from my iPhone and iPad. I can print form my iPhone but my iPad 2 tells me there is no air printer available.  Why does one device recognize the air printer but the other device does not?

    I have the 6500A without plus and it is with a LAN cable connected with my Router.
    First make sure you have the latest printer firmware installed.
    Next restart the printer and the Router.
    I had the same. Problem but it went away after rebooting the Router.

  • How can I get Microsoft office onto my Macbook Air?

    I need to use Microsoft office instead of Pages and Keynote because they are not compatible with my teacher's files. However my macbook air does not have the cd/dvd slot so how could I get Microsoft office onto my macbook? Help is appreciated! I really need it for my classes!!!!

    You have a couple of options.
    1) Buy a external DVD drive that connects by USB port. Any brand will work on your Mac. It doesn't have to have the Apple name on it for it to work. Most cost around $30.
    2) If you have the office DVD take it to a Mac that has a DVD drive and copy the DVD contents to a USB thumb drive then install from that thumb drive.
    3) Fine the DMG download of the office version you have.
    Note that only Office 2008 and the newest 2011 will work on a Mac running Lion or Mt Lion. The older 2004 version won't install on newer Mac computers.

  • Dissatisfi​ed with HP Office jet 6700 Premium Printer

    I've had a HP Office Jet 6700 Premium Printer for 18 months and have encountered a failed printer head issue which essentially requires full replacement of the printer.  I've seen many other similar reports by others which clearly indicates this printer has a serious problem with the printer heads.  I'm getting ready to replace this printer, which is just 6 months out of warranty, and will seek another vendor to provide printing equipment.  Very disappointed in HP's printer product and will gladly provide input to help others avoid running into this problem.

    Please read this post then provide some details.   What operating system?  What are the error messages on the printer or computer screen?
