W7 ult. HP 6500APLUS Aio says it's online and still won't print from computer

The printer says it's connected to network with num. address and full bars. Still it refuses to print anything I send from the printer. It worked excellent with no trouble installation, or during the last 9 mos. and then it decided, for no appartent reason, to just simply not work. I have installed, reinstalled, deleted and installed, deleted and reinstalled over 15 times. I have downloaded and used the diagnostic tools and dr.  even more times, yet everytime I press the network button and go through the routine, it says "Connected to wi-fi" BUT when I send a doc to be printed, nothing shows in the what's printing dialogue and nothing gets printed.
The pc is directly connected to the router; nothing's changed. My MAC "sees" the printer and prints so I have to go all through the steps on it to get to the page I want printed . This is awful. What happened to HP? You used to be the best in the business and the last 3 lousy printers I've had to junk because they refuse to print. Help me, please.

Hello doenCS,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!

I see you have done alot of troubleshooting already, I would like you to continue below I know you have done many uninstalls please try this approach :
Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box, type %temp%
Delete all files and folders from the temp folder. Choose skip if any pop ups appear saying any of the files could not be deleted
Uninstall the software again - Uninstall the Printer Software Instructions
When the uninstall has completed restart the computer

    Since iOS 7.1 my phone won't turn on and is asking me to connect to iTunes. I connect to itunes and it says it needs to be restored. Not sure why. I try to restore it and then it says something went wrong and it won't work. So I've been without my phone for a couple days now. It gives me error code (29). The phone almost reboots and then 3/4 of the way through it gives me the error message.

  • I have a Canon MG3520 and it keeps saying it's OFFLINE and it won't let me Print from my MACBOOK Air

    Hello, I have a Canon MG3520 and it keeps saying it's OFFLINE and it won't let me Print from my MACBOOK Air.  I purchased this printer in late Dec 2013 and it HAS worked before & continues to "make noise" when it is turned on.  This is Very Frustrating and Inconvient since I have a Business from my home.  Please Help asap! Thank you,  Tracey

    traceyss--this might work on mac air:  on google cloud print i went to the cloud site http://w.x.y.z(put in your numbers) and then menu-utilities-energy saving settings, where i turned off "auto off" (clicking on it leads you to this choice) and turned on "auto on."  then i turned off printer and restarted in 5 seconds to get the changes into the mg3520's little brain:  so far, so good(on a chromebook). hope this works for you!--ceaisland55

  • HP Officejet Pro 8630 won't print from tray 2; says there's no paper

    Action: Print from tray 2.
    Expected Results: Paper feeds from tray 2 and prints.
    Actual Results: Printer displays "out of paper" dialog.
    Notes: Ever since I purchased the Officejet Pro 8630 six or eight months ago, tray 2 has not functioned. It says there's no paper in that tray. I've tried multiple types of letter sized paper. I've inspected the bottom of the main printer unit and the top of tray 2 for signs of damage; there doesn't seem to be any.
    Tray 1 works just fine. It's actually a fantastic printer. The best I've owned. If only Tray 2 would work.

  • Printer has paper, but computer says it is out of paper and won't print from web

    I am having trouble getting the computer to recognize that the printer has paper. The printer will print copies that I put in it, but when I want to print from the web, it won't let me do it; it just tells me that the printer is out of paper. I printed a number of pages from the web yesterday with no problem at all. I have an HP Deskjet F2430.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I was trying to print off some material I had looked up on the web. When I saw what I was trying to print was going to be 40 pages, I did not want to continue printing it, and I did not know how to stop the printing, so I just pulled out my paper from the loader thing. I have since put paper back in the loader, but now my printer will not print anything, and says I am out of paper. I have tried and tried to fix this problem, and I really need to be able to print stuff, so I am pretty frustrated with this. I am a senior citizen and will admit that I am not all that astute with tech stuff. I would certainly appreciate some guidance with my problem. Thank you very much.

  • HP Photosmart 7515 says it is connected to wireless network but won't print from anywhere.

    My HP photosmart 7515 used to work on my network.  I could print from iphones and my mac mini.  Now it says its connected, it has the IP address 10.0.1.3 and everything on the HP network configuration page says it is functioning normally, but the printer can't be reached by any device and I can't open it in my browser when I type the IP address into it.  I've tried powering it down and unplugging it but at this point I am at a loss.  The only thing I can think of is that I ran a Mackeeper fast cleanup of extraneous files recently and perhaps something was removed that needed to stay.  I don't know.  I tried installing the HP utility for Mavericks (my current operating system on the Mini) but that can't find the printer. I tried typing in the IP address manually but that didn't work either.  
    When I try to connect to it through eprint it says that it is connected but says there is a problem with the printer.  What's the problem?  It says it is unspecified and to see printer front panel for information on resolving the issue. Where on the front panel?  I have no idea.  
    Happy to start from the beginning but this is really becoming a pain.  Why doesn't it work?
    Help!  David

    FIrst of all, get rid of Mackeeper, it will cause more problems that it will solve.  To uninstall it, open it and have it uninstall itself, then restart your Mac.
    Have you restarted your router?  What router are you using?

  • My cataloge won't open, says it is corrupt and repair won't work and I can't access anything.

    Don't know what happened. Closed Lightroom after working on photos and now it won't open again. I get a pop up saying the cataloge is corrupt and when I try to repair, it won't work. The AdobeTech note comes up as an error page. I desperately need to open it as all of my recent vacation photos are on it and only half finished. Supposed to be showing them at a party this weekend.
    Please can anyone help?

    If you save (xmp) metadata as you go, then you never have to redo editing work when falling to backup catalog (just sayin'..).
    PS - all develop settings and almost all metadata will be in xmp if saved, but not everything from catalog is contained in xmp (and not everything in Lightroom is contained in your catalog!).

  • When I authorize, it says I already have but still won't let me play purchased music

    Over the past few years, I've bought numerous songs through iTunes.
    Now, for all of these songs it's telling me that I need to authorize my computer to listen to them.
    When I authorize my computer, it says "This computer is already authorized"
    When I click on the songs, it continues to tell me I need to authorize my computer.
    How do I fix this? I purchased this music, why can't I listen to it?
    It was purchased with this itunes account.
    Years ago (~6?) someone was using my email address for their iTunes account.
    Not exactly sure how they accomplished that but they did.
    I contacted iTunes back when this happened and they allowed me to move my purchases from my previous Apple ID (because the other guy had my email address used, I had to create a different one)
    Apple Support later helped me move all of my purchases over to my main email which the other individual was using and I've been using this Apple ID for many years. It took Apple Support literally 6 months to complete this and get everything sorted out. (They were confused how he used my email address to create an apple id in the first place)
    So, I'm not sure if this problem is a result of this "merge" from years ago?
    Any idea how I can go about fixing this, what the problem is or is there a way I can contact apple support.

    I don't believe the issue is with them being purchased on my previous account because when Apple Support fixed it, they transferred them all to my current apple id. (Which is the ID it refers to when it says I need to authorize my account)
    If no one knows the answer, how do I contact Apple Support? I've looked all over the site and can't figure it out.
