  • HP 8500 All In One COLOR print issues

    My all in one will not print in color, I have just replaced all of the cartridges and even ran a TEST page and all other available diagnostic functions with no success. I also checked the print options to be sure COLOR was selected and everything including the print test comes out in BLACK only. Even the color level test prints in BLACK for all cartridges ...
    Any suggestions on this issue.
    I have tried printing documents from Word, Publisher and every other program with no success.
    Thank you!

    hi,
     It seems to me that there could be a problem with the Magenta/Cyan Printhead of your printer. Try to perform the steps of cleaning the contacts of the printhead and of the printer, click here. After cleaning the contacts, try to print a diagnostic page to see if your printer will now print color. If issue persisted, then i believe you need to replace the Magenta/Cyan printhead.
    Contact HP tech support at 1-800-474-6836 for any suggestions regarding this matter, they might be able to replace the printhead of your printer if your machine is still under warranty.
    Hope these would help you!

  • HP 8500 All in One prints reddish color

    My HP 8500 All in One Deskjet has started to print in all reddish color even though the cartridges appear full. I have run a cardridge head clean and a cardridge align and if I'd rather put my head through a plate glass window than have to talk to HP today.
    Does anyone happen to have any recommendations on this and was there a dedicated place to post Mac Printer questions with the new interface?
    Also, does anyone know how I get to set the Print Page to all black and white? I can never seem to find these kinds of things in the Printer Config now that I have converted to Mac for some reason.
    Thanks.

  • HP Officejet 8600 all-in-one will not allow me to use features

    ALCON - after installing Yosemite (well upgrading) my all-in-one is not functioning. I have gone to HP's website to no avail nothing that can help. I uninstalled the software restarted my computer and restarted the printer. Updated the firmware on printer yet nothing is working correctly. I cannot scan documents nor fax. I get a message from the printer saying that the printer cannot communicate with the computer. I also have the HP assistant installed on my mac and yet still the computer cannot communicate with the printer's scanner and vice versa. I am at a loss. Any feedback would be appreciated. I really need to scan some documents and get them sent out. I had to go to my PC as a last resort. Suggestions please?

    I may have found a fix for this problem. For those who are using Mavericks or Yosemite: Uninstall the current printer driver and install the printer driver dated Oct 22, 2014 and then install a patch update. I will copy and paste the link. For some odd reason the drivers I had prior to upgrading the OS was not willing (I upgraded from Mountain Lion).

  • HP 8500 ALL IN ONE - CAN NO LONGER SCAN TO SHARED FOLDER

    I have had an HP 8500 all in one scanner / printer for a while and have not had any problems with,
    Yesterday the printer hung so I reset it.
    I am using ethernet (wired) as opposed to wireless.
    When I reset the printer it gave it a new ip address of which I reconfigured back to the address of my network ie 192.168.7.xxx
    I am able to print and scan from the embedded printer web page but when I scan to my shared folder, the printer cannot conect.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    I think it may be something either to do with the network path or possibly the sharing permissions fo the network folder.
    Thank you in advance for any assistance that can be provided.

    Hello there @DAVIDA64, welcome to the forums
    I read through your post about the issues you are having with scanning to your network folder. My best suggestion would be to check out the guide below and set up your scan to network folder again.

  • Paper Jam error message due to broken gear on Officejet Pro 8500 all-in-one printer

    3 year old HP Officejet Pro 8500 all-in-one printer (haven't used it much). Keeps telling "Paper Jam" although there is no paper jammed anywhere (searched meticulously with a flashlight after watching HP's tutorial videos on how to clear paper jams). I started searching on the Internet and found a couple of related videos on Youtube that pointed me in the right direction:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMFW1RRlDHEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwbF2Vs_0gQ  I could hear a clicking noise on that area of the printer each time I turned it on, so I carefully took the black cap apart that was hidding the gear, and confirmed I had the same problem as in the youtube videos above. See picture below showing the white plastic gear part that has a large crack which causes the Paper Jam error message and renders the printer unusable. After Googling a little bit, seems like a relatively common issue and wonder why such a part like that is not made of a stronger material like metal (planned obsolescence maybe?). Does anybody know if there is a way of replacing the broken gear?  (I really care for the environment and I would like to avoid having to throw the relatively new and expensive all-in-way printer away) Thanks a lot in advance for the advice!

    Hey ,  Thanks for posting in the HP Support Forum.  I do see that a cracked gear in your HP Officejet Pro 8500 All-in-One Printer is impeding all functionality.  I would like to help you with this but that particular part is not replaceable.  I recommend you reach out to our tech support team to find out what servicing options you have available. You can click on the following link to initiate a case: www.hp.com/contacthp/

  • Installed HP Officejet 4100 All-in-one does not appear in Control Panel printer selection window.

    My HP Officejet 4100 Series 'All-in One' DOES NOT APPEAR in the Control Panel window even after several re-installs. The diagnostics indicate that the 4100 is not connected and dos NOT point to any path for a solution.
    Attempts to download a current Driver, ( or re-load the 4100 "software" ), WILL NOT work because the 'help' page states the driver already comes with the 4100 software and therefore does not provide for any download update, (driver or software) for the 4100 printer.
    I have reinstalled from the original Disk for the 4100 and also attemped install with Windows Update requested driver. Nothing works.

    Hi there @Past77 
    Welcome to the forums
    I read your message about your Officejet 4100 not showing that it's connected, and that you have attempted to run the Windows Update to see if that would help get the printer working again. You are correct that this model does not have a downloadable driver for Windows Vista, so your best bet would be to try running the Print and Scan Doctor tool, to see if it can kick the printer into gear and have it functioning again.
    If the tool does not work, I would then recommend looking in to a printer upgrade. Consider giving us a call to see what your options are with HP.

  • 8500 all in one

    8500 all in one has engineering defects in both paper tray senors... fax and paper tray.  new one did not work. they sent us a refurb replacement - it does not work... and HP cannot fix on ph.
    wee need  same dpi and other charcteristics.
    WHICH ONE...

    Excellent.  Let me know how round 2 treats you.  The sad demise could have been due to a couple of things...as a side question, is the climate where you live especially dry right now?  I may request that our testers recheck how well we handle a static shock on the product if it is dry where you live.

  • Okay so i recorded a song but each part comes out as like take 1, i have 10 takes. how can i put them all together as one take, to make one song all in one take not small pieces of a song.

    okay so i recorded a song but each part comes out as like take 1, i have 10 takes. how can i put them all together as one take, to make one song all in one take not small pieces of a song. like i hit record and sang the entire song but when i hit play it was in pieces not just one song like it was in ten takes. is there any way i can blend it all into one take, to make one clear song?

    You're not very clear in stating your problem. Maybe it's terminology: "takes" in recording lingo (and in GB lingo) are different version of exactly the same part in a song, so you only want one of them in the end. Please tell us exactly what you did and what it is that you don't like.

  • Why is my computer telling me to turn ON my HP officejet 8500 all in one? It's ON!

    My HP officejet 8500 all in one printer is powered on. The fax and copier are working but when I try to print my computer (windows 7 pro 32bit) tells me to power on my printer. I had trouble with my DSL internet server yesterday and installed a new modem w/ router from at&t and my printer runs through a netgear prosafe port switch. I had to reboot everything to get the internet up on my PC. the printer worked fine before the internet and hardware trouble. I have tried wiring it directly to the PC with the USB cable and it gives the same error. I have rebooedt, unplugged computer and printer over and over.

    Turn the printer off.  Hold # and 6 keys while and a bit after turning it back on.  This will reset the printer.

  • My HP Officejet 6500 E709a All-in-One will not print more than one copy at a time.

    My HP Officejet 6500 E709a All-in-One will not print more than one copy at a time.  This is especially disconcerting at Christmas time when you're trying to get Christmas letters in the mail!  Any help?

    The cyan portion of the printhead may be clogged.  I would suggest running the diagnostics shown here.  If three levels of cleaning of the printheads does not resolve the issue you may need a new printhead.

  • Print Too Small from Photoshop CS4 with HP 8500 All In One Printer

    I'm running Windows XP with CS4 and latest patches and drivers.  When I print an image to my HP 8500 All in one printer, the printout is too small.  Instead of a centered 4 x 6 image on the page I get a 1 x 1-1/4 inch small print of the image in the upper left hand corner.
    I re-installed CS3 and it works perfectly as do any other print options, such as word, etc.  But from Photoshop CS4 I can find no way to print to this printer without the image shrinking in size.  If I print to another printer at the same sitting, the image is fine.  So it's a PS CS4 vs. HP 8500 unique problem I guess.
    I've see this post in other forms and no help as yet.  Does anyone have this one on their radar.  I really like this printer, but it's quite annoying.
    By the way, If I print to a PDF from PS CS4, the pdf file image is fine.  That's another end around for printing also. HMMMM.
    I did contact HP and they put the problem squarely back on Adobe.  No partnership there.
    Thanks,
    Glen

    Will the printer print from any app?
    I know it sounds like a dumb question, but you didn't actually say...  And I admit to looking for software problems on an occasion or two when I had forgotten to plug in cables.

  • My HP LaserJet 3055 All In One does not scan using Windows 7 - 64bit.

    Hi,
    Is the printer connected to your PC by USB or network?
    By using USB connection, you may scan using the Windows Fax and Scan software integrated into your OS.
    Scanning through a network connection unfortunately supported on Windows7 32 bit only, as you  may find listed within the About network scanning section below:

  • Help changing cartridge in hp office jet pro 8500. One color not all 4

    I need to know if I need to call the 800 # for my issue.  I have 4 colors in my printer I have purched my black XL not all the other colors they are empty.  I need to use my printer so, I need to see  if it is something easy or if I have to purchase all the other colors? 

    Hi,
    You need all color cartridges. You can force printer to print only black cartridge in a SHORT period but the result would be unpredictable. Printer needs all ink cartridges to work as designed.

  • Cyan and yellow are not printing on HP officejet pro 8500 all-in-one printer A909

    I have an Officejet Pro All-in-One 8500 A909a printer, using OS X operating system.  Cyan and yellow are not printing. I've ran the Print Quality Diagnostics Page and they do not show up there or on the align page. My ink levels are good. 
    Can you help me find and fix the problem?
    Thanks

    Hi DavidM2,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having issues with the Cyan and the Yellow ink cartridges as well.
    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.
    If you are still having issues then try to replace the cartridges.
    Let me know how you make out and if you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
