Officejet pro 8000 not compatible with mac??

I have Yosemite OS (Mavericks before now) and duplex won't work on my printer. It tries to print both sides (and actually looks like it will) but then spits the second side out without printing on it and goes on to print page 3 on the second page. I can't print in draft, the lowest quality seems to be 300dpi with no option to use less ink, the pages are soaking in ink! Ridiculous waste. Can't seem to print in colour! Everything screems uncompatible drivers here, but there are no updated drivers for this printer on mac. Please help!!

Hello @leonsmyth , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand you're running into Yosemite print problems.  I would like to try and assist.
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 then suggest reinstalling your printer by running your Apple updates:  OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8500_A910_231 not compatible with Windows 8 CP

    Hi HP support,
    I was just wondering if anyone add a solution to make the
    HP OfficeJet Pro 8500_A910_231 work in Windows 8
    Consumers Preview yet. Because every time I try to run the
    installer it tells me that this printer is not compatible with
    my operating system.
    Sincerely

    Hello Jason.
    Print and scan drivers for your HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 are already included as part of the Windows 8 Consumer Preview.  You should be able to print and scan by simply connecting your OfficeJet to your pc.
    Have a nice day!

  • Officejet 5740e software not compatible with mac os x 10.6.8

    unable to download and open drivers for officejet 5740e to mac os x 10.6.8 

    Hi,

  • HP C5380 DVD/CD Printing Feature Not Compatible With Mac

    I purchased this all-in-one specifically for the feature of printing direct to cd/dvds. Other functions work fine but this will not. After contacting HP Support I am informed that this feature is not compatible with Mac. Surely this is false advertising as nowhere on the packaging can I find any reference to this. Under specifications it shows that system requirements were Mac OSX 10.5.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix? I have searched mac support but can find no reference to this. Interested to hear other viewpoints and experiences. 

    Hello,
    I would try printing directly on CD/DVD from the application HP Photosmart Studio.. Follow the steps below:
    1. Open HP Photosmart Studio
    2. Select an image from the Photosmart Studio library/browser
    3. Choose "Create" in the toolbar
    4. In the menu on the left, choose the following settings:
    - Project: CD/DVD Label
    - Label Type: CD/DVD (5 inch/120 mm)
    5. Move the image from the media bar to the label, resize it if necessary
    6. Click "Print" on the toolbar

  • Plantronics Voyager Pro headset NOT compatible with 3GS

    I've been having terrible problems with my Plantronics Voyager pro all singing and all dancing bluetooth headset and my 3GS.
    I've tried 2 units to no avail and have a long case log with Plantronics support.
    Apparently the inbuilt noise cancelling "intelligence" in the headset is conflicting with the iPhone noise cancelling electronics, producing a terrible user experience and is not just specific to Plantronics headsets, but all those that rely on headset noise-cancelling (like the Jawbone etc..)
    Anyway, I notice that Plantronics have now changed their website to advise that the Voyager Pro is NOT compatible with the 3GS (in fact is seems like none of the noise-cancelling ones are)
    This seems like a schoolboy error on Apple's part and speaking to Plantronics, they have no idea if and when a resolution is likely to be forthcoming!

    I wish I had known this a few months ago. I had an original iPhone using a Plantronics Voyager 510. Everyone always said it was like I was in the same room talking to them. I bought a new 3Gs, and a Plantronics Voyager Pro. I seem to be able to hear just fine, but people I talk to keep having me repeat everything. Most people say it sounds like I'm talking to them from inside a hole somewhere. I got my headset last July. I switched back to my old bluetooth headset, it didn't resolve the problem, so I know it wasn't the Voyager Pro. I thought it might be interference from the metal cover I had bought from AT&T to protect the iPhone, and removing the cover seemed to give people better clarity, but they still complain. Now for long conversations I've had to return to using a corded headset.

  • IPad not compatible with MAC OS X 10.4.11

    I just bought an iPad and just realised that it's not compatible with MAC OS X 10.4.11 when I tried to hook it into iTunes. Therefore I will need to upgrade. C
    an someone advise on what OS I should upgrade to and how? I assume Snow Leopard would be my best option, but I'm not sure if I can upgrade to this from MAC OS X 10.4.11.
    Also I've never upgraded before, so will everything on my current Note Book be preserved such as iTunes library, documents, iPhoto's library etc.
    Thanks in advance

    I was faced with the same dilemma, and wound up upgrading to Leopard on my G5. My approach, which worked well, was to get a retail box through eBay, then upgrade online to 10.5.8.
    You're always well advised to do a backup before an OS upgrade. Find many discussions about upgrading in the OS forums.

  • AirPort Extreme card not compatible with Mac Pro???

    Hey,
    I recently purchased my Mac Pro without thinking to include any hardware for connecting to a wireless network.
    I have recently moved into a new apartment which I am keen to join to a wireless network which has just been set up by my roommate for his PC and Laptop.
    I was going to buy an AirPort Extreme card, but I have read that it is not compatible with the Mac Pro. Yet when I looked at the configure process for a new mac it was listed as one of the devises offered for wireless networking!!
    I am very confused...
    I was wondering if anyone could help me, i just need to know what hardware i will need and how it would be installed.
    thanks, all help will be greatly appreciated!
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    the mac pro takes a slightly different airport express card. you have to purchase it at the retail store and have them install it. in my experience they will not allow you to purchase one and install it yourself due to the difficulty of installing it. best thing to do take your macpro into a apple retail store and see what they can do.

  • DBT-120 Bluetooth 2.0 Adapter not Compatible with Mac Pro V 10.4.10?

    Hello!
    I recently purchased a
    *D-Link DBT-120 Bluetooth 2.0 USB Adapter* (My Mac Pro is *V 10.4.10*)
    in order to resolve the Mac Pro / Bluetooth issue.
    I put in the CD for installation and all of the files (.exe, etc.) read as PC files.
    I was told by D-link that the adapter mentioned above is not compatible with this higher version of the Mac Pro.
    However, I have read that other users have had success with the DBT-120.
    Does anyone have any recommendations?
    Thank you!
    Jeff

    What exactly IS the mac pro/ bluetooth issue?
    Some Mac Pros were (are?) shipped with incorrect labelling and connection of the AirPort and Bluetooth internal antenna wires. The causes reduced Bluetooth range.

  • Unable to Delete Older Printing Presets -- Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Printer with OSX v10.6.4

    I find that, after upgrading to the latest Officejet Pro 8000 A809 (989005) printer driver, I am not able to delete Presets that were created with earlier versions of the Apple/HP supplied printer driver.  I am using OSX v10.6.4 and v2.0.3 of the HP Printer Driver.
    When I try to print from an application the Presets that had been previously created appear on the menu, but 'Delete" is not available as an option for any of those older Presets.
    If I create a new Preset, it appears in a section of the menu listing below the Presets created by earlier versions, and the Delete option is available to remove any Presets made with v2.0.3 of the driver.
    I would like to delete the earlier Presets, since are no longer necessary given the changes that have been introduced in the latest versions of the HP printer driver.

    If you have HP software for pre-10.6 Snow Leopard, you must uninstall the software using the 'scrubber' option.  Also, you do not need the hp software at all - both print and scan drivers are built into the OS.  I'd recommend uninstalling, but make sure to do it this way:
    Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
    Click on Continue
    Highlight your device on the left pane
    Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall
    There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
    Click Continue and let it finish
    Restart your Mac
    Now, run a Software Update.
    Next, remove and re-install the printer in System Preferences, Print & Fax.
    You do not need the software now since Snow Leopard has both print & scan drivers built-in. Scan from Preview or Image Capture apps. Scanning from the front panel of the printer does not yet work.

  • Officejet pro 8000 not recognizing brand new HP black ink cartridge

    Hi. My officejet pro 8000 is not recognizing a brand new HP brand black ink cartridge. The black ink indicator remains lit and it will not print. I have unplugged the printer, but this did nothing. It is wierd, when I open the door where the cartridges are, the light goes out, it only goes on again when I close that door. The printer was working perfectly until this . Any helpful hints? Thanks so much.

    Hello chx2,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand your Officejet 8600 is not recognizing your brand new black ink cartridge. I will do my best to assist you! Please make sure this printer is plugged into a direct wall. I just want to see if this makes a difference.
    Next, please follow these steps in order:
    1) Remove all ink cartridges from the printer, then close the door
    2) Remove the power cord from the printer (Do not press the power button)
    3) Please clean the ink cartridges by following this HP document here. (Also, make sure you have completed all the steps from this document)
    4) Wait 60 seconds or more, then plug the power cord back in
    5) Wait for the printer to turn on completely, then install the ink cartridges
    6) Try to print a document
    Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.
