HP B500 Wireless Bluethooth Adapter for HP Printer Not Working With Windows 8.1

I have been using the HP BT500 bluetooth Wireless adapter to print wirelessly to my HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer.  I have been using Windows Vista, but recently upgraded to Windows 8.1.  I learned after the upgrade that the HP B500 wireless bluetooth adapter is not compatable with Windows 8.1.  I have attempted to find a driver upgrade for the B500, but there does not appear to be one available.  I have also searched the HP site and other sites in an attempt to locate an alter wireless blotth adapter to replace the B500, but have again been unable to locate one. 
Is there a wireless bluetooth apter that will allow me to print wirelessly to my HP Office Pro 8500 from my laptop?

Hi @Raider83,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your HP B500 wireless bluetooth adapter for your HP Officejet 8500 is not working with Windows 8.1. I am sorry to hear this but happy to look into this for you!
I am not sure if you are using a 32-bit or 64-bit Operating System. But sometimes with Windows 8.1 you can use compatibility mode to install an older version of the driver. Which might help the situation. Here is a link to some other Windows drivers, HP bt500 Bluetooth USB 2.0 Wireless Adapter Drivers.
Once you got a driver downloaded, follow this guide, Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows, on how to install it using compatibility mode.  It is not guaranteed to work, but it is worth a try!
If you still need me to look for other bluetooth adapters, please respond with your printer's Product/Model Number. To find your printer's Product/Model Number follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number. As there are multiple HP Officejet 8500 printers.
Thank you for posting, and have a nice day!

  • HP LaserJet 1320 Duplex Printing Not working with Windows 7

    Hi
    I've just bought a new PC with Windows 7 Home Premium. I have an HP LaserJet 1320 printer (Prod no. Q5927A, SN CNGW53RLRY).
    I cannot find driver that works the same way as the previous driver HP LaserJet PCL5. If I use this driver and can still get duplex printing but it will only print one copy at a time.
    If I upgrade to HP Universal Printing PLC (or PLC v5) I can print multiple copies but not duplex printing. I have searched high and low through the HP site but to no avail.
    Any help and advice will be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello,
       I've seen this same issue with my printers (other HP printers) whereby the default setting to support the Duplexing hardware was set to 'off'.
      A quick method to check this is look at what the setting is for Duplex hardware in the Device Settings tab, and if it's not set, correct it.
      Printer Properties:
      From the 'Start' orb -> [Devices & Printers] -> right click on your Printer icon -> select 'Printer Properties' -> click on 'Device Settings' tab.
     You should see a dialog similar to the mine (attached): look for the 'Duplex unit (for 2-sided printing)' and see if it's set to "Not Installed":
        --> in either case, click on 'Not installed' and from the dropdown box, select 'Installed'... Click 'OK' to accept the changes and close the dialog.
    Printing Preferences:
     again, right click on your Printer icon -> select 'Printing Preferences' -> click on 'Advanced' tab.
     -->Check to see if there is a 'Duplex Hardware' or '2-sided printing' option in here: mine doesn't show one but thougth I'd mention it nonetheless.
      Click on the 'Finishing' tab and select 'Print on both sides'...or simply test print a multi-page document and set those preferences on-the-fly.
     Let me know if this helps...

  • Driver for OfficeJet J4580 Not Working with Windows 7 Profession​al

    I am trying to install the driver on a new Toshiba laptop but the driver keeps failing.  I have tried the Basic and Comprehensive drivers.  After downloading, I get a prompt to extract the driver, then I get an error message that says the file is corrupt, cannot extract. I get the same error message with both drivers.   I am downloading the drivers from the HP website. I am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.  I do not have the printer plugged in (it's plugged into my very old Windows XP laptop and works fine there).   I have left e-mail messages to Support through the HP site and have not gotten an answer.  Is this printer just too old for my new computer?  Do many of the HP printers have problems with Windows 7?  Any assistance is appreciated.  Thank you!

    Hi @OrdinaryHPUser,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that you cannot install the driver for your HP Officejet J4580 on Windows 7. I am happy to help!
    Full feature software and drivers, are available for this printer on Windows 7. So the printer is compatible. I would recommend to try the following steps:
    Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software. (Only if the software is partially installed, otherwise you can skip this step.)
    Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
    Disable any Antivirus programs. Disable Antivirus software.
    Disable any firewall programs. Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
    Create a new user account. Managing User Accounts and Logins (Windows 7).
    Reinstall using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
    Hope this will solve the issue, and have a good day!

  • Wireless keyboard and mighty mouse do not work with windows Vista

    I have a new iMac core 2 duo 20" used by my granddaughter.
    The drive has been partitioned using 50-50 with Boot Camp Assistant to form 2 250 GB partitions and windows Vista has been installed on one of them. The installation process runs smoothly as does the process when the OSX disc is installed for the relevant drivers for keyboard, mouse, isight camera etc. At the end of this process it is necessary to click a :"finish" button but at this point the mouse and keyboard have frozen and there is no other way of inputting information. Restarting in windows takes me to the log in page but there is no way to input the user name and proceed further.
    Apple support has suggested hat I use a wired keyboard and mouse or call Microsoft support. Microsoft support have told me that they do not support Vista on a Mac.
    Any suggestions would be helpful.

    I had the same problem on the mac mini from my dad with windows XP.
    I could install everything smoothly but when i wanted to connect the mighty mouse and a wireles apple keyboard i had the same problem.
    I fixed this by using a mouse with cable and then add the keyboard and mouse via bluetooth in the configurationscreen. i had to do do this 6 times (the same thing) before it worked so maybe its the same in vista

  • I would like to buy a HP printer that works with Windows 8 preview.

    Understand that HP will not release drivers for existing printers until August at earliest and that is OK....I have 3 HP Laserjet 1020s that have been great and will buy a new HP printer if it will work now with Windows 8 preview.  Any suggestions or any fixes/patches for 1020 that work.  Also interested in any non-HP printers that work with Windows 8 preview?  Prefer HP but will buy first printer that works from any mfg. as I would like to give Windows 8 a real try.   Believe HP is missing boat by not putting a patch out for some of their printers as soon as possible as I am not the only HP user looking to buy any printer that works with Windows 8.

  • My apple usb adapter for iPad dose not work any more

    I use USB adapter before , but can not work any more

    Can you try it with someone else's adaptor to make sure that is where  the fault lies?
    Make sure it is connected directly to the wall socket and not through a two way adaptor.
    Move both ends of the cable slight to make sure there is not a loose connection.

  • HP bt500 Adapter does not work with Windows 10?

    My HP Officejet H470wbt printer will not print wirelessly since I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10.  I installed it via HP Support and received a wireless adapter error during installation.   The printer does work with a USB cable.  Is there another adapter that can be used or will there be a software upgrade to correct this issue?

    I did a work around (some what).  You have to remove the G4050 completly from your computer.  Reboot.  Go to the HP site and download "setup_full_G4050_14-5", save it then install it.  Reboot.  This MAY get the scanner to work.  It took me three or four times to get my scanner to scan.  The next problem was, it would scan but it would not save the file.  For photos I use "Corel Paint Shop Pro X" (import, Twain Aquire) it will turn on the scanner and import the picture.  Then you can save it.  I haven't found a solution to scan and save documents yet.  But I found out it will send them to the printer.
    Ya Win 8 sucks.

  • Does the 932C HP printer with 2 sided printing accessory work with window 7 and office word 2010?

    (model#C6463A-double side, printing accessory), for the HP 923C printer?  Is it real slow printing?  Does it flip by itself or do I have to flip it? Also will the printer with the accessory work with windows 7 and office word 2010 to type 4 pages per sheet, like a book? Thanks and please help me!

    Hi @Happyforhelp 
    I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as your HP Printer is a commercial model.
    My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.
    Click here to view the Printing and Digital Imaging. When the page opens you will see the option to 'Log in' or 'Register Now' on the right. The commercial forums are separate from the consumer boards, thus you will need to register if you don't already have a commercial account.
    You may find the HP Deskjet 930/932c Printer series page helpful while you wait for somebody in the commercial Forum to respond to your inquiry.
    Best of luck.

  • Polarioid pogo printer not working with ipad and iphone

    And I can not believe how that truly *****... I am traveling through the states and bought the pogo to print on the road... Only to find out that it does not work with ipad and does not work with iphone... Unless I jailbreak my phone which I don't really want to do...
    Apple wants us to go mobile and clouding and all those things, yet, when we do go mobile and try a mobile life style, we are encountering so much technical crap that we loose the will to live...
    I could have spend the hundred dollar for the pogo to have pics printed out in every kiosk in the country...
    WWhen is Apple going to come to its senses about little life savers like the pogo and bluetooth???????
    Is anyone aware of a work around so I can print on the go? And a solution that does not involve a programmers brain because my single braincell is not working while traveling... It needs to be easy!

    To cut through all the rage and anger and "knowing" who wanted what, the Pogo has been out for a year or so, well before Mr. Jobs' passing, and Apple did not make any mention of supporting printing on anything other than Airprint compatible printers.
    Since Airprint is a Wi-Fi/ethernet thing, Polaroid would have to make a significant redesign to the Pogo.  Considering that the first iPhones only supported Bluetooth headsets and Apple didn't provide any indications about increasing Bluetooth support, Polaroid's decision for the Pogo to be Bluetooth was obviously not with iOS devices in mind.  This is why initially Polaroid had links on the FAQ to tell Apple to add Bluetooth printing support (so that in effect, asking Apple to pay for the expenses to make the iPhone compatible with the Pogo, rather than Polaroid paying to make the Pogo compatible with iOS.)
    I come from a photograpic background.  I got the Pogo as soon as it came out.  I quite literally was on Polaroid's website every day checking to see when I could order it.  Having "instant" sticker prints is wonderful at family picnics with all the kids.  While it would be great to be able to get Pogo prints from anyone's iPhone, I stopped holding my breath when Apple announced Airprint, which came well after the Pogo was released.  So I took that as the sign that it was probably never going to happen.  (I knew that the Pogo wasn't iOS compatible when I bought it so not having compatiblity is not a deal-breaker for me.  But, yes, it would be nice.)
    I now use a Polaroid Z340 since it's a 14 megapixel camera that prints larger 3x4 Zink prints.  Polaroid makes the GL10, which is basically a Pogo using the same printer as the Z340.  But it's still Bluetooth only.   So while I sympathize with the desire to have a really compact portable printer like the Pogo, iOS compatibility just does not seem to be on the horizon.  IMHO, it would be more realistic that Polaroid create an app to do Bluetooth printing.  But considering Polaroid's financial issues, I'm not holding my breath

  • Firefox for aol dose not work with aol emails.Why

    Since the email inter face changed I can no longer send email attachments, even items embeded in the email body come out blank at the other end. I use Firefox configured for AOL but that dose not make any difference. I had no problems untill this change is there anyway to reset it. AOL say the problem must be with your software. They sujested that I try using IE 9, I would rather stay with Firefox as I find it is a much better browser.

    I have had the problem of Yahoo! mail freezing (my computer freezing) with Firefox right after I boot up my computer and sign into my Yahoo! mail account. I have to either shut down my computer or use Control + Alt and press Delete to eventually bring up the Task Manager option. Then, once the choice for Task Manager comes up, I can click on cancel and Yahoo! mail and my computer have "un-frozen." I have followed all the recommendations for updating Firefox, clearing caches, checking if an Add-On is the problem, etc., as well as all the recommendations on Yahoo! help pages. Nothing has improved the situation to date. Firefox info says the problem is with Yahoo! Yahoo! says it is a browser problem. I just want the problem to be fixed.
