  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • My HP office jet 6500 printer is stuck on pause. I do not have an admin name or password as it is a wireless printer and I never had to set one up.  It keeps asking me for admin name and password...

    My HP office jet 6500 printer is stuck on pause.  I do not have an admin name or password that it keeps prompting me to give, as it is a wireless printer and that info was not required when we set up the printer.  I have checked all diagnostics and connections and they are all good/passed.  I am so frustrated!!!    This has never happened in the past.

    What is asking you for an admin name and password? What does the dialog say, exactly?
    What model iMac are you using, and which OS version?
    If it is earlier than Lion or Snow Leopard, try deleting the printer and adding it again as explained in this document
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3140
    Otherwise you can "reset the printing system" as explained here

    dawie,
    Here is a link to a post that has some good information on mirror image printing and what has worked for some other people. You should be able to go to Control Panel>Printers>right click on printer>Properties>under General tab click Printing Preferences>under Advanced Tab click Mirror Image ON. However, like i said others have had some issues with this. Hopefully you will find the link below helpful.

  • Cant set up my HP office jet 8600 printer with my iPad mini

    Can't set my HP office jet 8600 printer with my iPad mini

    That is not an AirPrint supported printer. Check for compatibility here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    Check the App Store for an HP app that may provide limited printing functionality. Alternatively, you can use your computer as a wireless print server using an app like Printopia. Note that your computer must be on and able to print for this solution to work.

  • Started having error 0x887df78e with HP Office Jet networked printer. Seem to be related to Itunes

    I recently started having my networked HP Office Jet printer begin flashing lights and displaying error code 0x887df78e. It seems to be related to the use of ITunes. The only information from HP is to remove the print cartriges, keep unplugging the printer and plugging it in several times and then hit a combination of keys on the key pad. This does not seem to work. Any clues? It appears I am not the only one who sees a link withthis phenom and ITunes.

    Try unistalling Itunes and reinstall without the option for automatic updates on the Apple download site. reinstall printer software.

  • I just replace my modume and am trying to print on my HP office jet pro printer which I share with a PC computer. It worked before but I can not get it to print. My MacBook says it is connected to the printer,but then it says it is idle. What should I do?

    We just had our modume replace and I am now trying to print on my HP Office Jet Pro

    Hello mariamac80,
    It sounds like you cannot print from your network printer on your MacBook. Printer issues can be a but tough to nail down, but I would recommend trying the troubleshooting in this article named:
    Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
    Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
    Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Office Jet 4580 prints in reverse order, setting changes won't hold

    I have a HP Office Jet 4580 and it keeps printing the last page first and works backwards.  I only do one sided pages for printing, no double sided pages.
    I have changed the settings as follows:
    Printing Preferences
    Document Options-Advanced printing features- Enabled changed to Disabled
    Layout Options-Page order-Back to front changed to Front to back
    I click on "Apply" and/or "OK" for each change.
    I have tried the above in every combination possible (i.e. changed to Disabled, but leave Back to front, change to Front to back and leave it Enabled, etc.).  Not only does this not change anything, but all settings revert back all by themselves.  Once, I saw the Disabled change back to Enabled on its own as I clicked on the "OK" button.  Sometimes the "Apply" button is greyed out as well.  I make the changes from the Devices and Printers window.  I then do the same to double check from a website window by going to File-Print-Preferences to make sure, but it changes back all by itself.
    How do I make the changes permanent?  I still cannot print page one first on multi-page print requests.  The only time I was able to disable the Advanced printing features, it did not print at all.  What is wrong with this software??

  • Configure hp office jet to print from IPad

    Configure iPad to print on hp office jet pro

    Depending on which HP OfficeJet Pro printer you have, the solution could vary. You can click on the link below, choose the "Which HP printers are compatible with Apple AirPrint", and view all AirPrint capable printers. If you printer is AirPrint capable, you can print directly from your iPad with the proper settings.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02623193&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en #N197
    If your printer does not appear on the list, you may want to check out various apps that can provide a solution for you. The HP ePrint Home and Biz app is one that HP makes, but there are many 3rd party printing apps available.

  • Hp office jet 5740 prints copies too light

    Hi  I just purchased a HP office jet 5740 and have it set up. When I print a color copy
    it comes out very light compared to the original. This happens when printing without being
    connected to the computer. Is there any was to adjust this?

    Hello gloworm2,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with the printed photo being lighter than the original.
    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 also suggest that you run through the following document that deals with Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP ENVY 5640, 5660, 7640 and Officejet 5740, 8040 e-All-in-On...
    Please feel free to write me back if you have any other questions.

  • My new ipad3 will not communicate and run my HP office jet 8500g printer wirelessly.  My daughter's Mac will wirelessly so my iPad 3 should right?

    OK, bought my 1st Apple anything last week.....(iPad 3)!!  Tried to send a "OnSong" doc to my wireless HP Office Jet Pro 8500g today and iPad 3 can,t find the printer.  My daughter used her Mac wireless and sent a "Pages" doc wirelessly with no problem.  Apple support confirms that they are compatible but want to charge me $99 for a 1 year subscription right out of the gate.  I don't know if the issue is iPad 3 or HP printer?  Seems like my iPad is the issue since Mac has no problem?  Any ideas on what the problem is?

    The simple answer is your printer is not Airprint Enabled, thus you can not print to it natively on your iPad.  There are options.
    1.  Purchase a new Airprint enable printer
    2.  Purchase an App from the App Store for about $9 that will permit printing.  Print Central and Printopia are two you could consider.
