Administrator unlock for officejet 6700

I cannot setup wireless printing as the features are locked. I tried a fix I saw on this forum and it failed. When I scrolled to the restore network defaults it was locked. Is there a different fix for this?

OS X 10.10 for Officejet 6700 Premium?

Is an OSX 10.10 (Yosemite) driver available yet for the HP Officejet 6700 Premium?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Assuming you are using a network connection, try unplugging your router for 30 seconds and plug it back.
Next restart your Mac and turn the printer Off and On again, then check for any difference.
If that doesn't help, try resetting the printing system and check again:
*Be aware that resetting the printer system will remove any existing print queue and reset any customized driver settings.
Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences .
Select Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl + click) your product in the Printers list in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system .
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type your user Name and Password .
Click OK . The printing system resets.
Now click the plus sign and try adding the printer.

Windows 10 support for officejet 6700

Is there any HP printer support/drivers for the OfficeJet 6700 for Windows 10 Enterprise?
This question was solved.

Hi,
Windows 10 is still in its beta stage, any drivers will not be provided prior the operating system release.
From my experience the Windows 8.1 drivers should work fine, I suggest giving it a try:

Print problem for Officejet 6700

Recently I have been having trouble in printing the word document. I was working about 3-4 days ago.
I have windows XP with MS Word 2010. The print is HP Officejet 6700 Premium. I always use it in the offline mode. It's connected to the computer via LPT slot.
The test page gets printed. But the word document doesn't. I also tried notebook and excel documents, and I have the same problem.
I know it's something very simple (at least I feel that way) bit it's very annoying when one needs something printed.
Please help me or direct me to seek further help. Thank you.

No valid driver for officejet 6700 premium on Windows Server 2008 - 32bit

Even though there is a download file available on the support site it is not compatible with WS2K8
Does anyone know of a work-around for this ?
I can not change the OS, as was suggested by HP tech support.

Hey typesetter773,
The driver for Windows Server 2008 W32 is available on the website as you mentioned. I will provide a link for those looking for this driver.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-109483-2&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
If you are getting a message about compatibility, then it is possible you are running Windows Server 2008 R2? These are different versions of the WS2K8 OS and the driver will not work with R2.

Officejet 6700 error while searching for updates: 'Printer could not connect to server'

I recently purchase the Officejet 6700 Premium. While setting the printer up, I received the error 'The printer could not connect to the server.' I first received this while the printer was searching for updates. I later received the same error while trying to set up ePrint from my computer.
The printer is connected through my wireless router. All other print services function normally. It is connected to the network, and I have printed several times over the wireless network.
Though I don't think it matters, since the on-board print set-up gave me the error, I run Windows 7 64-bit on my computer.
Thanks for any help!

What is the IP address of the printer? What is the make and model of the router that you use in the wireless set up? Is the router firmware up to date?
I would first try power cycling the router and the printer. Turn off/unplug the router and then power down the printer. Then plug the router back in and wait for it to be fully up and functioning before turning the printer back on. After you have both pieces of equipment back on and functioning attempt to connect to web services again.
If still having problems I would attempt to set a static DNS on the printer through the embedded web server (EWS) by entering the printer's IP address into the address bar of a browser on a computer.
Once that computer displays that page click on the Network tab.
Then look in the column to the left and find the Wireless section
Click on IPv4
Then on that page look at the 2nd section that is labeled DNS Address configuration
Change the radio button to the manual option
Then for the manual preferred fill it out and make sure it reads 8.8.8.8
Secondary should be set to 8.8.4.4
Then hit Apply
Read the next screen carefully. That message with the "OK" button below it is one that states to click that button to undo the changes you just made. Just navigate away from that page by clicking on another tab.
Then reattempt to connect to web services.

Not recognizing HP OfficeJet 6700 Premium for Scanning

Hi to all,
I bought and set up an HP OfficeJet 6700 Premium. It is working fine for printing. However it won't recognize the HP Office Jet for scanning. Attempted both from device and from PC. I get a message that device was "not found"...I am running Windows 7.1
The manual says this below:
If your printer is connected to a network and you are scanning to a Windows
computer, before you can scan from the control panel, you need to enable scanning
from the software. From the computer desktop, click Start, select Programs or All
Programs, select the folder for your HP printer, and then select the option for your
HP printer. Double-click Scanner Actions, double-click Manage Scan to
Computer, and then click Enable.
I see the HP printer from the Programs menu, but I cannot get to the instruction - Scanner Actions.
Please help.
Thank you.

Hi ColleenM,
I am sorry to hear you are having such difficulty scanning. The HP Print and Scan Doctor (PSDR) was designed by HP to provide users with the troubleshooting and problem solving features needed to resolve many common problems experienced with HP print and scan products connected to Windows-based computers.
On an unrelated note, there was a firmware update released for the Officejet 6700 that you may or may not need. This firmware update likely has nothing to so with the issue you are experiencing but I would like to take the opportunity to let you know about it. Having the newest update does the following:
Fix/Enhancement
1) Enhance ePrint Diagnostic report for ePrint Setup.
2) Improve ease of wireless setup.
3) Enhanced Embedded Web Services.
4) Improve Print Quality.
5) Improve Airport Express connectivity.
6) Improve the accuracy & reliability of ink level gauge.
7) Improve ADF pick performance.
8) Improved paper handling
To check the version of your current printer firmware:
Printer Information Screen
1. From the Control panel, press Help (?) button, select Printer Information
2. Use the down arrow button to scroll to the 2nd screen
3. The current firmware revision will appear on the screen
If you do not have Version MPM3CN1322DR you need the update.
HP Officejet 6700 Premium e-All-in-One Firmware.
Let me know what happens with the PSDR. If the issue persists let me know, I am eager to help you resolve this.

HP Officejet 6700 Premium Not connected for eprint

Good evening,
I bought a officejet 6700 Premium and I installed it 10 days ago, The printers worked properly for a couple of days.
Now, if I log on in ePrintcentre, a message says that the printer is not connected.
If I launch a print using the wireless net (e.g using my IPHONE while I'm at home and using my home wireless) it works.
But if I launch a print @ my HPe address the printer doesn't work and remains in pending message (on eprint centre) for a while and then become "failed".
Is there something to set in the printer panel?
Thank you very much

Hi Antonio,
I would check if the printer has the latest firmware. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02919168&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=e...
Then, turn the printer off for about 20 seconds, then power it on again. When it's back at the home screen, print an info sheet to check your eprint connection. Front panel of printer>eprint icon>print info
This next step will require you to delete your failed print jobs: (steps from http://www8.hp.com/ca/en/support-topics/mobile-printing/mobile-print-help-iphone-ipad.html)
Click the tab at the top of the page with the name of your printer.
In the Recent Print Jobs section, click View Job History.
Click Cancel next to any print jobs that you want to clear from the queue. (Try printing again)
***If those steps fail, you'll have to call the HP Eprint support line @ 1-855-785-2777
Good luck

How do I re-enable built-in networking on Officejet 6700 premium printer?

I inadvertently, and stupidly, turned OFF the built-in networking from within my Officejet 6700 premium AiO web-based administrator console. Now I cannot manually reset it from the controls on the printer itself. I get a message informing "Built-in network capabilities have been disabled. Contact your network administrator or the person who set up the printer." Well, that person is me. I cannot find instructions telling how to re-enable the built-in network capabilities.
My OS is WIN7. The printer was working OK before I messed with it.
Can anyone offer advice regarding this problem?
Thank you.

Distinquished (and snarky) Professor.
Thank you for your attempt to assist, but your response was not only condescending - "Did you read the manual??? I downloaded it and read it. Turn the wireless radio on and off" - but totally not helpful. The intro to your reply makes you sound to be an arrogant high school teen who thinks she has every answer unknown to adults.
Some of us are not technilliterate. I certainly DID read the manual and attempted every option I thought might work. The problem, if you read my problem post, was that I inadvertently clicked OFF the Connectivity Built-in Network capabilities from within the EWS. That made it impossible for my printer to connect to the network via cable or wireless. When I attempted to find a solution at the printer control display itself, by going Setup > Network > Restore Network Defaults, but, instead of the "Restore Network Defaults, it presented the message I posted informing that Built-in network capabilities were disabled, which is what I already knew and wanted to resolve. I needed to find a way to reset to Out-of-the-Box settings. Nothing in the manual provided, nor could I find online, this answer.
Fortunately, my printer was still under warranty (HP apparently wont chat if you aren't under warranty, unless you pay them for the service). I was able to chat with an HP Rep who Identified herself (maybe himself ... Who knows?) as "Jasmine". Jasmine was very helpful. But, although I had specifically identified to her the problem is that I lost network connectivity due to carelessly turning off built-in network capabilities of the printer from within its EWS, Jasmine still had to spend time running through her HP requied first-line Help Representative script. She spent about fifteen minutes remote assisting and checking out every possible "other option" before she concluded with these precious words, "The problem is that your printer has lost network connectivity. I am going to give you some instructions to follow so we can reset the printer to Semi-full restore." I received her instructions and followed them precisely. Very easy. When I asked her why these instructions are not published by HP somewhere for customers to access, she informed that they are "secret Advanced instructions" (I think she was being a little silly). ...
Following, for you Distinquished Professor (so you don't need to be snarky with others) and for all other fellow technophiles out there, is Jasmines "secret Advanced instructions" as she wrote the on the chat. I have provided some interpretation at the end. Do note, if you (not specifically you Distinguished Professor, but every other "you" out there) don't have some good idea of what you are doing, getting off the path by which these instructions lead can get you into more difficulty with your printer than that by which you began the journey.
Jasmine: Please follow the below steps:
1. Touch this curve icon 4 times though it is not highlighted
2. When you do it, you can see Support menu on the printer LCD screen.
3. Once you see the Support Menu on the printer touch OK use the right arrow key next to the printer LCD screen to see Reset Menu.
4. Now, touch OK then use the right arrow key next to the printer lcd screen to see Semi Full.
5. Touch on Semi-Full option.
6. The printer will turn OFF
7. Power it back ON. It will initialize itself.
8. Please follow the onscreen steps.
Helpful interpretations:
Regarding #1. The “curve icon” is the left curving return icon located at the left side of the printer’s control panel touch sensitive display window, but outside the display window. It is lit when the menu can be returned back a page, but unlit when at Home screen. This is actually a hardware button, not touch sensitive, so pressing it, even when not lit, creates and action signal. When the display is at the Home state, the return button is unlit, but pressing it four times will generate a menu option for Support Menu on the display.
Regarding #3. The "right arrow" is the forward page button located to the right outside the display screen. Like the return button, it also is unlit unless it can perform an action related to what appears on the display. Press the forward page arrow until the displayed menu option changes to Reset Menu. Select this option to perform step #4.
Successfully following Jasmine's instructions will restore the HP Officejet 6700 Premium AiO to its out-of-the-box-new settings. Note that Jasmine specified "Semi-Full" restore, not "Full" restore. A full restore will take the printer back to it basic out-of-the-factory state. This state will require significantly more settings and configurations work afterward than with which most of us would like to deal. Out-of-the-box state will cycle through everything as it did when you first pulled the printer out of the box new and set it up yourself. Do note, any custom settings will be lost. Passwords, however, are retained in a Semi-Full restore.
Hope this information helps everyone else who may be having similar difficulties or just need to know how to restore your printer back to Out-of-the-box-new state.

OfficeJet 6700 Premium Problems after Windows 8.1 update

My Officejet 6700 Premium worked great wirelessly under Windows 7 to print & Scan. Since updating to Windows 8.1, I can print to the printer wirelessly (having set it up manually from the printer), but the software won't load and I can't scan. Setting up a network connection using downloaded HP software fails (it just says it failed, no error message), and trying to download the entire software package (which includes scan, which I need), also fails during step 1 of 4. I tried uninstalling all HP software first, but the same errors persist. I don't want to mess things up further (as I said, I'm able to print wirelessly now), but I really want to be able to scan to the computer. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello mfrank1,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some printing issues since you upgraded to Windows 8.1.
I do have a few troubleshooting steps that we can try to resolve this issue.
I first suggest that we uninstall the old software and drivers. I realize that you have already attempted to do this but I still would like to try it again but this time using the following document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
When you stated that you have the printer connected with a direct connection using wireless, is this with a Bluetooth connection? Do you have a Router that you are going through?
Once the software is uninstalled, please restart the computer. Please disable any firewalls or anti virus protection before starting the next step.
When the computer is back up and running, please click on the following link for the HP Officejet Full Feature Software and Driver.
Please save the download to the Desktop of the computer so that it creates it's own Icon. Double click on the new Icon and follow the instructions.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

HP Officejet 6700 - scanning problem, "device is busy. please try again later"

I am using a windows laptop (Lenovo Yoga II). I have an HP Officejet 6700 printer/ scanner. The printing functions seem to work fine but the scanning function is now not working at all (worked previously).
When I use the HP Scan and Capture app is comes up with a message "Device is busy. Please try again later". I have installed the full software and also run the HP Print and Scan Doctor and it fails the driver check even after a full restart of both printer and laptop.
I have tried everything wirelessly and also connecting the laptop to the printer via USB and nothing seems to work.
When I try to scan direct from the printer/ scanner to the computer (ie. using the panel on the front of the printer) it recognises the computer but doesn't scan and suggests that the "scan application on the computer is currently in use".
I have McAfee LiveSafe running and also tried switching that off but didn't seem to make any difference.
Any ideas welcome. I really need to scan some things today and this is very frustrating.

Scanner not working hp officejet 6700

I have an Officejet 6700 Premium Printer.. When I hit scan to computer, it says no computer found. I connected the printer to the computer with a USB cable and hit scan but window says waiting for scanner.. Printer works wirelessly w/ computer but is sporadic and sometimes have to restart printer to get it to connect wirelessly to computer.. tried to download software from hp but cant open the dmg file in my download file. Error message says Officejet series 6700 image not recognized.

Hello ramblindan,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with scanning to the computer.
I also see that you had the printer connected on a wireless network and then attempted to scan over USB. When the connection is changed from wireless to USB without adjusting the software, this can cause communication issues.
I have a few steps that we can run through to troubleshoot the issue.
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 we remove the usb cable from the printer and the computer and leave it off.
Please click on the following link that troubleshoots when the Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
If this does not resolve the issue, please respond with which Operating System you are running.
