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 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

  • I am having trouble printing via wireless with HP Office Jet 6500A printer in our new residence. It worked in our other house but not here. I have to print via USB connection

    Any ideas on how I can get a regular wireless connection with HPOffice Jet 6500A from my Mac Book Pro? It used work well and wirlessly in our previous home with a Broadband conection through the router. Would moving to ADSL have caused the issue now or is it the printer? I have had it work about three times but have resorted to plugging in via USB port. Two viviting techos have not been able to fathom it out either.

    It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.

  • Solution Center problem with HP Office Jet J4550 and windows 7 (64bit)

    Hello All,
    I have a problem. I have the Solution Center and a HP Office Jet J4550 and windows 7 (64bit). When ever I open the solution center, the solution center says " HP office jet J4550 series disconnected" When I open HP document manager, I can access the printer.  Additionally, when I run the HP Print Diagnostic Utility 4.0, it sees the printer, no issues. I can print test pages. No issues. I downloaded the latest driver from the HP site (OJJ4500_Full_13, 299,359KB) Your insight is appreciated.
    Thank you
    Roy B

    I have a similar problem with the J4580 and my new Windows 7 64-bit laptop.  HP Solution Center says that the printer is disconnected.  Furthermore, it can print some documents (short ones), but it was unable to print a 1-page 5MB pdf file.  The printer truncated the page after printing just the top 10%.   The printer is OK with my wife's Windows 7 32-bit laptop.
    I've seen many other people complain about similar problems in this and other forums.  Apparently the driver for J4500 printers is not compatible with Windows 7 64-bit.  Can HP please provide an updated driver or patch?

  • How to scan with an HP LJ 3055 and OS X Lion?

  • ADF scanning with HP Office jet pro 8600

    Have a new machine. I can scan documents individually on the scanner glass no problem, and when I feed documents through the ADF it all feeds through ok and says "scan successful" however what I have scanned through the ADF always shows as a blank document.  I have checked and double checked I am scanning the documents the right way up and even did it the opposite way just to be sure) and made sure I dont have anything on the glass blocking the scan.  I have changed between text and photo settings.  What am I doing wrong or is there something wrong with the scanner or the ADF?? Its like the document is not being fed through past the glass (I assume thats how it works??) however the machine doesnt make any funny noices or otherwise lets me know anything is wrong.  I get no error messages.  This is only with the ADF.

    If the document is coming in blank, one of the reasons for that could be that the ADF is dirty and it is not able to read the document. That would be the first thing that you would want to do when troubleshooting any kind of scan quality issue. The flatbed scanner and the ADF use different components to scan. That document is very relevant to this issue. Solution 5 is servicing the printer...which means that the ADF hardware has probably gone bad and it needs to be replaced. If you were to call into phone support, everything in that document would have to be completed before the printer could be replaced regardless. If it does come down to that, then you are saving yourself time by not having to do it later when you call into support. 
    However, I do have another step that can tried before reaching that conclusion. If after trying that you are still having issues, then I would recommend that we try a semi-full reset on the printer. If that doesn't fix it, then it is a hardware issue. Try the steps in that document and report back to me and let me know if they work or not. If they do not, I will send you a private message through the forums with the steps on how to perform a semi-full reset. 
    Best of luck,
    Kyle

    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 to scan with hp 8500pro

    how to scan  with a hp 85000pro

    Hi SanMiguel,
    Welcome to the HP Forum!
    To do the job (scan) effectively, you should install the Full Feature Software for your printer onto your computer.  The FFS contains the HP Solution Center which, in turn, controls the Scan function and all its features.  Scan "how-to" help is outlined in the printer's manual starting around page 51.
    If you do not (or cannot) install the FFS, you can try using "Webscan" as outlined in the Printer's manual, starting on page 53:
    OFFICEJET PRO 8500 User Guide
    The download size for the Software can be large, so plan accordingly.  That is, if your internet speed is slow, plan on downloading the installation file when you are not doing a lot of other activities.
    Here are the instructions to look for and install the software for your printer.
     In many cases, you can (re)install the Full Feature Software for your printer to enhance its capabilities.  The HP Solution Center is an integrated part of the FFS.
    (Re)install the basic driver or Full Feature Software:
    Drivers control hardware connected to the computer (wired or wireless).
    Software controls the programs that interact with the User.
    Go to the top of the forum page to Support and Drivers
    Enter your Printer Model information, and then go to Software and Drivers...
    Enter your Operating System in the Drop-down menu...  Scroll down
    Look for category Driver - Product Installation Software
    Select the appropriate Basic Driver or Full Feature Software – if available for your printer Save the *.exe installation package on your computer -
    NOTE the name and the location of the file when you save it.  The *.exe file will likely save to the "Downloads“ folder.
    Install the Software / Driver installation package.  If you have ‘Admin’ control, you may highlight the package and “double-click” to install it, else Right-Click, Select ‘run as Administrator’ and install.
    NOTE:  There is sometimes a lot of information at the printer’s website manuals, how-to pages, and alerts for your printer.  Be sure to take an extended look at what’s available.

The printer works out of the box with the "old" version of windows perfectly..."  Please provide a solution if this user's solution may cause other compatibility issues?

    Hello @xandux,
    I would like to assist you today with the answers to the questions that you have regarding the HP Officejet Pro 8625 e-All-in-One Printer.
    Q1: The print drivers for the HP Officejet Pro 8625 e-All-in-One Printer and HP Officejet 7410xi All-in-One Printer are compatible on the same computer.
    For the Officejet Pro 8625 you would first run the Wireless Setup Wizard on the front panel of the printer to connect it to the network.
    How to Configure Wireless:
    On the printer touch screen, touch the Right Arrow () to display the second navigation screen.
    Touch the Setup icon (). The Setup Menu screen displays.
    Touch Network, touch Wireless Setup Wizard, and then touch Continue.
    Wait while the printer searches for routers that are within range of the printer. The Select Network Name menu displays.
    Scroll down the list of network names until you find the name of your network.
    Touch the name of your network, and then touch OK.
    If prompted, enter the WEP or WPA key. This is case sensitive.
    The printer will now connect to the network.
    Once your printer is successfully connected to the network than you may run the installation of your printer.
    The driver package for both Windows Vista and Windows 8.1 is the same. Should you want the latest drivers for the HP Officejet 8625 on both computers please click here to download the drivers. You will need to open that link on both the Vista and the 8 Computers. Once the website opens select the Download button on the top left. Once the download is complete the installation window will pop open. The onscreen prompts will walk you through the quick and easy install. You simply select that you are connecting a Wireless printer when prompted, the installer will search and find your printer and complete the install. You simply sit back and hit 'next' a few times. For additional install assistance and documentation please click here.
    I can assure you that your HP Officejet 7410xi All-in-One Printer will not be affected by the installation of the HP Officejet Pro 8625 e-All-in-One Printer as they use completely different drivers.
    Q2: The HP Officejet Pro 8625 e-All-in-One Printer uses the HP Printer Assistant Software rather than the HP Solutions Center Software. The Printer Assistant Software installs with the printer. Therefore, there is no separate link available for this. The Printer Assistant will load an icon on your computer that looks like this:
    Once you click on that icon you will see a similar screen to this:
    Q3: The User Guide for your HP Officejet Pro 8625 e-All-in-One Printer can be found here. It is for the Officejet Pro 8610/8620/and 8630 products as they are all within the same series.
    The Officejet Pro 8625 is identical to the Officejet 8620. For specific specifications for just the Officejet Pro 8620 (8625) series printer please click here.
    There are slight differences between the 8610, 8620, and 8630 products.
    The Officejet Pro 8610:  Print speeds are slightly slow (19 ppm in black and 14.5 ppm in colour), letter size flatbed glass, no automatic duplex copies/scans. The specifications for this printer can be found here.
    The Officejet Pro 8620 and Officejet Pro 8630: both models are identical with their specifications. The only difference is that the Officejet Pro 8630 comes with 2 paper trays. The specifications for the Officejet Pro 8630 can be found here.
    Q4: For detailed setup and install instructions please refer to the two documents below. 
    For out-of-box hardware setup instructions please click here.
    For installation instructions for Windows Vista and Windows 8.1 please click here.
    Q5: There is no switch that should have to be altered when printing envelopes. You simply load the envelope within the paper tray and select Print, just like any other printer. For instructions on how to properly load envelopes please click here. The only issue I have seen is that people aren't 'telling' the program on the computer that the printer is printing envelopes. This may cause a 'paper mismatch' error as your machine 'thinks' it's supposed to pull letter size paper and doesn't detect that as loaded in the tray. If there was a hardware defect with the switch when the HP Officejet 8625 first came out, we are not seeing those issues now so the switch issue must have been corrected.
    Q6: Because of the Printhead design within these printers, there must be ink inside the printer to print. Therefore, if you run out of yellow ink, you must replace the yellow ink to continue using your printer. Once a cartridge is empty the printer goes into a 'depleted cartridge' error state. When this happens you are not able to use any features of the printer. The best course of action would be to keep an eye on your ink levels. When you start getting prompts that your cartridge is low, have a cartridge on hand for when the ink finally does run out. What I would recommend is if you're not planning on printing a lot in colour from your computer set the 'Black Ink Only' feature under the driver to ON. If you do not have this feature enabled, when you print from your computer certain print jobs are sent to your printer as 'image' files. If a document is sent to the printer as an 'image' file the printer will use colour ink to enrich the black on the document. This causes the colour ink to run out much faster than anticipated. If you turn Black Ink Only ON only black will be used for black documents. If you want to print a colour document you simply disable the Black Ink Only feature for that specific print job.
    For more information regarding why this occurs and how to set Black Ink Only please click here.
    Q7: Your machine is designed to go into sleep mode after about 10-15 minutes. This is not a design flaw. Ideally, once your printer enters sleep mode, if you need to print something you simply send the print command and the printer will wake up and respond for you. Occasionally sleep mode has issues. One issue for instance is when you have a networked printer. Sometimes the routers don't send the print command to the sleeping printer properly and that causes the printer not to 'wake up'. This can be corrected with altering settings on your router. The other issue may lie with a programming issue within the printer. The best course of action to avoid sleep mode issues would be to ensure that your printer is running the latest Firmware. The latest Firmware can be downloaded here.
    Q8: Again, powersave mode is the same thing as sleep mode. You should have no issues allowing your wireless Officejet 8625 to go into a sleep mode. Once the printer is asleep you simply send a print job to your printer and the printer will 'wake up' and print for you. It is rare to see 'sleep mode' or 'powersave' issues. Always keep the Firmware up to date to avoid programming issues. 
    Q9:  Microsoft has recently released a HotFix to correct wireless printing issues as they have found printing issues within the Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 Operating Systems. This issue is not specific to HP or the HP Officejet 8625. Rather, the issue seems to affect all wireless printers on the Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 Operating Systems. The HotFix can be found here. Once the website opens you simply select the button for HotFix Download Available. Follow any onscreen prompts to install the HotFix. There has been a lot of luck with running this fix.
    I hope this information helps to clear up any issues you may have. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. Thanks for reaching out to the HP Support Forums!
