HP OFFICEJET PRO 8500A SERIER USERS GUIDE SOFTWARE. HOW TO GET IT?

2 IDENTICAL COMPUTERS SIDE BY SIDE. ONE HAS HP OFFICE JET PRO 8500A SERIES USERS GUIDE SOFTWARE INSTALLED OK. THE OTHER DOESN'T HAVE IT. HOW DO I GET THE SOFTWARE, OR COPY IT FROM ONE COMPUTER TO THE OTHER? HAVE TRIED USING FLASH DRIVE TO TRANSFER IT, BUT SO FAR NO SUCCESS.

Chico, welcome to the forum.
Here is the User's guide for the printer. Open it on the computer that doesn't have it and add the link to your Bookmarks. I couldn't find the guide installer anywhere.
It is best not to use all CAPS on forums. This denotes irritation or yelling. Also, it is more difficult to read.

HP Officejet Pro 8500a software stalls after printing one document,

Hi, HP Officejet Pro 8500a, Product No CM755A. It used to work well, but now I can't rely on it to print more than one document. If there is a delay of several minutes before I try to use it again, then no print occurs: the screen on the printer says e.g. 'copying document' or 'printing page 1 of 1', but the printer makes no sound and stays at that stage for ever.
Can I do a soft or hard reset of the printer software in the printer, or solve it some other way? At present I have to turn it off and then on again, wasting ink.
I can take it back and replace it under extended warranty, but don't want to do that if there is a simpler way to fix it.
Regards

Hello Rtdnorseman,
Thanks for the post. It is possible to reset the printer to clear some of these issues. I've included a link below that walks through the steps. Also, ensure that you are plugged directly to an outlet, not into a power strip or surge protector. Good Luck!

Booklet printing hp officejet pro 8500a plus

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus and run Win 7 64-bit and MS Office 2010 Pro. I can print booklet format from PDF documents, but not from Word. In Word, when selecting [Print Properties], I can choose [booklet], but once I click on OK, this setting is discarded and defaults back to full page double-sided printing. How can I fix this? I have tried it with a different printer and it then works from Word, suggesting that the problem probably lies with the printer driver.

NOTE: The printer driver does not support manual duplexing. Two-sided printing requires an HP Automatic Two-sided Printing Accessory to be installed on the device
found online in user guide I am researching to find a printer that can do booklet printing

Officejet pro 8500A wireless radio is not functioning

Have an OfficeJet Pro 8500A. Wireless connection stopped working. Tried restarting printer, router, and computer per troubleshooting suggestions in manual. No joy. Wireless Network Test Report gives a 'Wireless Working' status of 'FAIL'. Troubleshooting results at top of report says "The wireless radio is not functioning. Contact HP Support."
I found a solution to this problem in the forum for a C7280. It is to reset the printer by turning it off, and holding the # and 6 keys while and a bit after turning it on. Later on, there is a comment by another user saying the reset solution also works for the Officejet 8500.
O.K. so I'd like to try reseting my printer, but don't know how to do it. There are no "keys" on this model. I've searched through the user guide (searched on the term 'reset' in the PDF version) with no results. Can anyone help by either telling me how to use the reset feature on the OfficeJet Pro 8500A, or another solution to the wireless radio not functioning problem that I can try?
Thanks,

Thank you for your suggestions. I appreciate your help.
I had previously verified that the wireless radio was on. The wireless radio test report confirmed it was on.
I had not used the network settings reset function as I was focused on looking for a "printer reset" capability. Based on your suggestion I used the network settings reset and then printed the HP Network Configuration Page. This confirmed the settings had been reset. However this test also checks for all available 802.11 networks. The report shows the number of networks discovered as 0. Based on this, I'm assuming the wireless is still not working.

Dear reader,
Soon the HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus e-AiO (HP manufacturer number CM756A) will be available with new Apps- print and E-print functionality. I expect that the system requirements are changed and want to receive the full system requirements specifications and/or user guide, before buying the 8500A?
Can you help me out?
thanks - with kind regards,

EPrint for HP Officejet Pro 8500A works, but ePrint account closed my sign-in

I have been using ePrint with my HP Officejet Pro 8500A for 2 year and it works great. After the latest software update, I tried to log in to my ePrint account to add another authorized user, but the system has forgotten my E-mail address. I know I am using the correct E-mail address, because I get HP mail reminders for my printer at that address and it is the only one I use for business, but I can't even trigger a forgotten password because the new ePrint says I don't exist.
If I create a new account for the same printer, will that conflict? I have the printer's E-mail address and use it regularly, so I know it is properly connected to my wireless and that it talks to ePrint. Is there any way to recover an account if you have the printer's E-mail address and serial number?
Thank you!
David

If the email address is not recognized, try resetting the password through the HP Snapfish site.. that may work if the accound has been marked to be associated with HP Snapfish during the registration:
http://www1.snapfish.com/snapfish/forgotpassword/module=true
Last but not least, you may migrated your account with the new HP Connected service, then you may try retrieve your password below:

The sites above should cover any possible account association and I believe that one of them should recognize your email address and allow resetting the password.

Officejet Pro 8500A - unable to print on odd-size paper

After a couple of hours of frustration, I have decided that I an unable to print on odd-sized paper on our brand new HP printer! On an older string in this user forum, one suggestion was to make a paper cut-out from regular sized paper to put on top of an envelope to "fool" the printer into thinking it was using standard sized paper. I am trying to print odd-sized wedding invitations, and in order to to do this, I wouldn't be able to use the paper guides intended to keep the smaller paper in the middle.
Another suggestion would be to create a "custom size" paper in the printer properties, which doesn't seem to be possible in Windows XP as far as I can see.
My card-stock paper measures 4 3/4" x 6 7/8" Neither 5 x 7" nor 4 x 6" will work and I have tried numerous others, such as Janpanese postcard, Index card 4 x 6, etc.
Any suggestions? This is frustrating enough to look at other namebrand printers next time, but I guess I'm stuck with this one for a while!

Hello @drlogan0,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are encountering problems with getting your Officejet pro 8500A onto your new wireless network.
I would like to help.
i would try restoring the network defaults. This will help erase any 'old' information that may be stuck in the printers memory. I would like to give you specific steps for this, but I am unsure if you have the 8500A, 8500A wireless, or the 8500A premium.
Basically the steps are, go into the network menu, and select restore network defaults.
If you have tried restoring the network defaults already, please review the following troubleshooting documents.

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus printing issues

I have been having two new issues suddenly (within the past 2 weeks) with my HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus. I am trying to print from my iMac 27 inch running OS.X 10.8.4 Both the mac and the printer are connected to a wireless network via an Xfinity Wireless Gateway. I have just replaced the ink cartridges in the printer but am unable to print black & white. In fact everything is comming out kinda pink. I have posted on HP's support site and was told to
Download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Restart your Mac.
Reset the printing system:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and then next to the "Use" pulldown, select the printer model (not AirPrint). Wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
Having done that initially my problem was solved. But now I'm having the problem again. I went through the above steps again, but still not able to print. Are there any suggestions for a fix. Is anyone else seen this issue? Is there a particular printer manufacturer that works well with Apple. Because at this point I have a large paperweight that is of no use to me!

The fact that it was solved and then came back points to some (unknown) issue with your Mac's software.
Try these generic fixes first (and then do the reset printing system and re-add again):
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1417
(one of the three methods - I like Disk Utility best - you can also repair disk permissions while there.)

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page.

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page. I continually get a message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.   Not only will it not print docs, it will not print web pages using IE 11 or Google Chrome.
I've used Print and Scan Doctor, it always reports there are no issues and prints a test page even though I can't print anything else.
Each time I want to print, I must reboot the computer. After reboot I have one chance to print.   This problem started February 15, 2015.
My operating system is Windows 8.1.   I have unintalled the HP software, rebooted, then reinstalled the software:
OJ8500_A910_1315-1.exe
HP Print and Scan Doctor - HPPSdr.exe
HPSupportSolutionsFramework-11.51.0049.msi
All versions were last downloaded on April 4, 2015.
I have a home wireless network (Ubee DDW366 router). All other devices in the house will print to the 8500A printer without issues: 2 Toshiba laptops, 2 Android phones, and 1FireHD.
The desk top is installed with a Netgear Network card I don't know the model, but I had it tested by a PC Tech to confirm that the card is working.   The card and Windows 8.1 were installed on January 3, 2015.
I have run virus scans and malware scans. Each time they show there are no issues with my desktop. What kind of desktop? Specifically made to my specs from store parts. . . no brand name computer. ASUS Motherboard P6X580 Premium. Now I will probably get hacked!
I am at my wits end. And it is frustrating when I need to make a print of something and the system locks up. I often resort to screen printing to a word document to save in order to reboot. . . .but then I lose all sorts of capabilites when I salvage what I needed. Also this is a time consumer.
This printer has served us well for two years and I have expensive cartridges waiting; another two rounds of refills.
Help?
Addendum: I can scan using HP Printer Assistance. I open the HP Printer assistant, it "retrieves" info from the printer, then I select "scan a document or photo" and the printer responds.   I have no trouble with scanning.

My HP OfficeJet Pro 8500a Plus won't print. Paused queue cannot resume. 'Doctor' fails to solve.

As a Windows 7 Admin user I can print to the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500a Plus but other users cannot. Their prints go into the 'Print Queue' and neither Resume or Restart will work. Resume merely deletes it from the queue and Restart does nothing.
Print and Scan Doctor doesn't resolve the problem. It refers to the 'stuck queue' and restarts the computer. Even then it does nothing to solve the problem.
There appear to be many instances of this problem on searching the Internet, most suggesting highly complex solutions. Surely it shouldn't be that difficult to solve.

It sounds like it could be a permissions user since the admin account has no issue printing to it.
Are the other users printing from the same computer, but different accounts or are they printing to the networked printer from different computers?

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus - Magenta Not Printing

I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus (A910), Model number CM756A, Serial number: [Moderator edited Serial Number] that is not printing magenta.
Firmware version: LRP1FN1231AR. Service ID 21057. IK Number 658.
Software version: 028.000.1315.000. Printer Driver version: 09.84.00.1189
The Printhead Status for all cartridges reports as "Good" in the Self Test Diagnostic Page.
I have run a Print Quality Diagnostics and in Test Pattern 2 there is no red/magenta colored block appearing.
I did not have any alert for low print quantity, however I replaced the Magenta inkcartridge with an HP Officejet 940XL new magenta ink cartridge (HP genuine) and still there is no Magenta printing.
When I open the ink cartridge holder, the printer shows HP Model: A910g, HP Ink Cartridge 940.
I have gone through this exercise several times, however the latest Magenta ink cartridge that I removed from the printer prior to replacing had the following information on it: C4908A, 2016/05/22. The newest cartridge I put in has a September 2017 expiration date (part number C4908A).
I am not getting any error messages or anything, there is just no Magenta being printed.
First - I would like to know how to fix this issue with the HP printer.
Second - is there anyway to get a refund for the ink cartridges I have had to use (and waste) trying to resolve this problem.
Thank you.

I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post serial numbers and case details.

Can't get Officejet Pro 8500A to print using a Bigpond wireless network

I phoned Bigpond for assistance and was told that the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500A needs to use a wireless router. Is this the case? I reinstalled the HP software on the computer but when I selected the Router/Wireless connection wasn't able to detect the network, even though I was logged on to Bigpond. Would appreciate assistance please.

Hi Ruski,
Wireless is just one of three ways you can have the printer attached for printing from your computer. I am unaware specifically what Bigpond is, however a few questions would narrow down which connection type would be optimum:
What devices do you want to print from?
Do you have an established wireless network at your home/business where the printer is?
Are you wanting to use the web services of your printer (ePrint, AirPrint, or Print Apps)?
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!
