Apple Airprint to HP Officejet 6500A Plus via Wired Connection to Router

Hi There,
So I've done a considerable amount of research into this across the internet and this forum and I'm still struggling to find a satisfactory solution.
I have an HP Officejet 6500A Plus connected by ethernet into my BT Homehub 3.
It is my understanding that even though this is a wired connection, as long as my iOS device (iPad 2 or iPhone 5) is connected to the same router, I should still be able to see this Officejet over through the airprint facility.
Unfortunately this is not the case. I only get the "No Airprint Printers Found" message on both devices. The only way I have managed to get my Mac Pro (Mavericks) to connect was to mannualy add using the IP address for the printer.
Can anyone give any guidance as to what I might be doing wrong? The printer is definitely connecting to the internet as I can print from my iOS devices using HP ePrint app for iOS.
Some might say well what is the problem, just use the HP app but this is not point. I believe if something has been implemented to make things easier then use it. I chose this printer specifically for this functionality so it's a little frustrating to find it so difficult to achieve the desired results.
Hope it's something straightforward and someone can help.
Thanks,
Steve
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Further to this request, and reading many more similar issues, I think I may resolved this.
I am not 100% sure but I have read some threads suggesting there are issues around BT's Homehub 3 and bonjour so this may be an issue.
I have tried the following over the past couple of days...
1) Completely reset my router (wiped all settings and started again) - No luck!
2) Tried changing from WPA2 to just WPA security - No luck!
3) Tried forwarding the bonjour ports to the printer - No luck!
4) Switched off router, printer and all iOS devices then powered back router, printer and then iOS devices - Printer appears on iOS devices but when print was selected, iOS device repeatedly returned Printer Not Connected error.
Finally, what seems to have done it (at least for now) was...
1) Unplugged ethernet from the Officejet and set it up as Wireless connection.
2) Powered down router, printer and all iOS devices then powered back up in the order stated earlier.
3) So far I have tried printing an email and a web page from my iOS devices and both have been sucessful.
Incidentally I had been struggling also to airplay from my iPhone and iPad until I started messing around with settings above and now this issue also seems to be resolved.
Due to variety of combinations (different printers, routers etc) people will have, it seems to be quite difficult to find a solution which addresses an individual problem however I hope some of my experimenting and findings might help others in some way.

  • HP Officejet 6500A Plus not staying connected to wireless network

    Just picked up a HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-in-One Printer - E710n the other week and set it all up and it was working wonderfully. But I noticed after it goes into sleep mode it disconnects from the wireless network and doesn't reconnect.
    I will get a overview of how I have it all set up.
    I have a DSL modem with a TRENDnet TEW-639GR router connected to it. I have set my router to reserve IP addresses for the computer and printer. That way I can leave the computer and printer wireless IP settings as automatic and they will always get the same IP address. I do this for the wireless network at my parents place as well and it works perfectly with their HP Photosmart C7280.
    I also set up the HP ePrintCenter feature on the printer so that I can print by sending the printer an email. When I first set it all up this was working great. I tested it all and it was awesome. When I would log onto the ePrint website it would show as connected and it was all good.
    So then what happened was it was all fine then the next day when we want to print something the computer says the printer is offline. I go on the HP ePrintCenter website and it says not connected. I print out a wireless network report page and it says not connected. After I printed that test page, I guess it woke up the printer enough or something as it then connected to the router and printed fine as well as showed up as connected on the ePrintCenter website. So all was good. Then the next day the printer goes to sleep and again it shows as disconnected.
    Should it not be staying connected in sleep mode? How will the printer know something is being sent to it and that it should wake up if it is not staying connected?
    Any suggestions of what I should change with the settings? I suppose I could try setting the IP settings as static on the printer itself but I shouldn't need to as I set it to static on the router. When it finally does reconnect it does always keep the same IP. If that is what is required I guess I could do that but then what is the point in having an automatic setting if it doesn't work? I would rather have this issue fixed that have to do a work around for it.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    The printer should stay connected to your wireless network after the printer enters the sleep mode.
    This is not an expected behavior.
    I believe such an issue may be caused due to a signal quality or any conflict as too many broadcust on the same channel.
    Please try the following steps in order to better understand the issue:
    Follow the Wireless Setup Wizard if your printer currently disconnected
    Enter the Setup menu.
    Enter the Network menu.
    Click Wireless.
    Click Wireless Test Report.
    What is the signal quality provided by the report and what channel used to broadcast by your router?
    If you may scan and attach the report, it may help to better understand any possible cause.

  • Officejet 6500A plus won't connect to new wireless router

    I recently purchased the Netgear R6250 Wireless Router.  My HP Officejet 6500A plus was able to connect to my old router, the Netgear WNDR3400, but it will not connect to my new router using the WPS feature, nor the Pin method.
    I get "An error has occured" message when using the WPS, and an "Invalid Passphrase" with the manual input. I have verified the passphrase several times with the same result.
    Is the issue with my new router (i.e. I need to make some sort of change to its settings that are not indicated in the manual) or is there an issue with the Printer (i.e. something special needs to be done to allow it to connect to this new router) 

    Yes, download the user guide here.

  • HP Officejet 8500A Plus will not connect to router.

    A couple month ago I had this printer up and running on my network fine. I use a Cradlepoint MBR1200B router with a Verizon wireless aircard. We took the printer out of the office while we were remodeling, we went to go back and hook it up after the remodel was complete. Now it will not connect back to our router. It's weird the printer will connect fine to my other verizon hotspot, but not the cradlepoint router with usb modem. We have an Officejet 6500 upstairs that is connected to the cradlepoint and is working great.
    I have tried what seems like everything from resetting the network setttings on the printer to default and tweaking the security on the cradlepoint from WPA2 to WPA/WPA2. Still nothing.
    Also when I choose to print a test report after getting the error on the printer it prints out a sheet that says.
    "More that one access poiint/wireless rougter has been foun that mathes your wireless network name (SSID). IF this is not inteded, your HP printer may connect to the wrong wireless network. If you cahne your network name you will need to configure the SSID on all wireless devices to match you new newwork SSID."
    The only wireless network we have in the house is the cradlepoint router???? We have the hotspot too, but that is not even turned on. Even so the SSID's for them are not even remoteley similar.

    Hello Fost325,

  • 6500A Plus won't connect to server

    I can't seem to use ePrint or Apps functions. When I go to follow the steps to configure it all it just keeps telling me it can't connect to the server. We have moved, and gotten a new router as well as updated to Windows 8.1 but everything else seems to be working fine. I can print, scan, copy, and fax. I just can't use the other features.

    Hello Jesi15,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I see that the Officejet 6500A Plus is not connecting to the server to enable Web Services. I would like to offer this as a suggestion.
    Power off the printer and ensure the power cord is connected to a wall out let.
    Next you want to power reset the router. If it has a power button press that, if not, remove the power cord. Wait 60 seconds and then allow it to power back up. Once router is fully on, power up the printer.
    Test the connection, if it works there is no need to continue. If it doesn't, try the next suggestion.
    Refer to this Thread answered by a colleague of mine happytohelp01 : Efax 7510 still won't work after turning off/on ePrint several times. Follow the steps to setup a Manual I.P and DNS for the printer over the network. The steps will be the same, if not very similar for your printer as the one in the above post.
    Try to connect once done, if still unable to connect, continue below.
    Go back to the above Thread, rather than using the DNS suggested try this set; Primary DNS Server : 209.244.0.3 & Secondary DNS Server : 209.244.0.4.
    Try to connect, if the feature is still not working you will need to call HP's Cloud Support team. If you live in the USA/Canada, 1-855-785-2777. If you live outside the USA/Canada, click HERE to find the Technical Support number for your country/region.
    Best of luck, let me know how things go.

  • Does apple make a printer for iPad if not how dow I get it to work with a HP Officejet 6500A Plus printer?

    Does Apple make a printer for the iPad and if not how do I get it to work with a HP Officejet 6500A Plus printer? Thanks

    Apple don't make any printers, but there are a number of the printers that are AirPrint-enabled, which you should be able to print to just by the printer and the iPad being on the same wifi network - the models that support AirPrint are listed on this page (the page also includes a bit of troubleshooting at the bottom of it) and it includes :
    HP Officejet 6500A e-All-In-One E710a
    HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-In-One E710n
    If your's isn't one of those then you could see if HPs own ePrint app works with it, or there are third-party printer apps such as PrintCentral Pro and Print n Share which might work it

  • Is there a software update for Apple's Lion OS and my Officejet 6500A Plus?

    Has HP released a software update for Apple's new Lion OS (10.7.2)?  My HP OfficeJet 6500A Plus can't find my computer most of the time. scan to computer no longer works since I installed Lion. Now the printer is not recognizing an HP-brand yellow ink cartridge--I've installed TWO new ones already! What a waste. HELP!
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Had a text from Nokia on my 3 N8 today saying keep your N8 up to date.
    Couldn't find an update through 3, but went to the UK Nokia website and managed to update from software version 011.012 to 013.016 which takes the release from PR1.0 to PR1.1
    Update went very smoothly.
    Still trying to track down specific details of the fixes and improvements in this update.
    However, I have read that in April 2011 there will be a Release PR2.0
    I am particularly interested in this as I understand that it will allow user-defined bookmarks to be added to the Home Screen with their particular "icon" rather than the generic icon, so that you can see in a sort of (dare I say it here?) iPhone way which webpage you are going to access...
    We'll see.

    ... Do u have any suggestions....?
    Yes. These days I prefer Brother printers. They appear to have engineered their printers with AirPrint as well as OS X compatibility from the start, unlike certain others who appear to have included it as an afterthought.
    Brother's models are inexpensive, their ink is also inexpensive and lasts a long time, and their photo quality is at least as good as HP's. They have a two year warranty and lifetime free technical support with people who understand Apple.
    Read the reviews (Amazon for instance, but be sure to read user reviews on the various manufacturer's websites as well) and decide for yourself.
    If you require AirPrint compatibility, or if there is any possibility you may need it in the future, limit your search to printers that specifically indicate AirPrint compatibility.
    Brother™ Monochrome Laser Printer and All-in-One models now support AirPrint.
    Brother™ Color Inkjet All-in-One units now support AirPrint.
    I have no affiliation with Brother but theirs was the first inkjet printer or "all-in-one" I have ever owned that simply works as well as the Macs I am accustomed to using. I positively detested every inkjet printer I ever had until I bought the Brother.

  • Officejet 6500A Plus not printing in colour in Mavericks

    Hi
    I have an Officejet 6500A Plus that is currently not printing in colour. I'm using Mac OSX 10.9.3. The printer used to print colour when I had a wireless connection but this was very temparamental connecting and got worse when Mavericks appeared so I decided to use a USB connection. To do this I had to uninstall all the HP software and then reinstall the printer as a USB printer. Everything works fine scanning and printing, but it will not print in colour. The HP help says to make sure Apple Software is up to date which it is and everything should work, but it doesn't. I'm unable to install the HP software that orginally came on disk as it wont work with Mavericks and there doesn't seem to be any useful help from HP - will this ever work again?
    Jeremy

    Welcome to the HP Forums Jezza1505,
    I see by your post that you aren't able to print in color on the Maverick since uninstalling and reinstalling the printer drivers. I can help you with this issue.
    I checked online and the drivers for Maverick are from the Apple Updates.
    OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
    Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. The Airprint driver might be installed instead of the Printer's driver. (usually defaults to Airprint)
    Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the name.
    If the printer name shows Airprint then that is the Apple drivers, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
    Try printing a document in color again.
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • How do i print from my ipad to the officejet 6500a plus?

    I read there may be something else required. I want to print directly to the Officejet 6500A Plus. Apple says ths is an Air Print printer capable of doing that. I'm not taking this monster out of the box until I know it will do what I want without a lot of trouble. Thanks.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Ok, so you were talking about needing the update.  It's hard to say as it all depends upon if it came with the new firmware or not.  It is not really relevent, however, since it will update itself upon enabling Web Services.  This process takes only a few minutes.  There is no computer necessary for the firmware update as long as the printer has internet access (i.e. connected directly to a router via either ethernet or wireless).  Yes, with an ad hoc connection, you will be able to print from the iPad, but you would have to use its 3G connection as opposed to going through your router.  It can only support a single wifi connection also.  Go ahead and set up the printer and keep me posted as to what happens.
    BTW - What is the issue with your PC that it cannot access the internet?

  • New operating system won't support re-installation of HP Officejet 6500A Plus

    I updated my iMac to OS X9, Maverick -- I am unable to print, told that the operating system will not support the printer -- told to reinstall software, new Mac operating system not listed, told that if system not listed, will not be able to install printer software from HP Installer but may be able to install another way -- please let me know if there is another way -- Thank you

    Hi rhd1884,
    I understand you're looking for a way to install your Officejet 6500A Plus printer on your new Mavericks operating system. I'd be happy to help you with this.
    There definitely is another way to install the printer. It can be done using the Apple software. To give you the right instructions, I just need to know if the printer is connected via a USB cable or is it wireless?
    Once I know the connection type, I can give you the proper instructions!

  • HP Officejet 6500A Plus will not maintain wireless connection reliably

    For the HP EXPERTS on Expert Day, April 18, 2012:
    B.L.A.T. (Bottom Line At Top):  We have an HP Officejet 6500A Plus purchased about 5 months ago.  We wanted to use it as a wireless-connected printer in another room besides our home office.  It is useless to us because it will not maintain its wireless connection, even sitting just a few feet from the router in the same room.  Except for numerous hours of troubleshooting, we have left it sitting powered up, but unused and idle, for almost the entire 5 months in our home office.  DURING ALL THAT IDLE TIME, IT HAS LOGGED OVER 3,200 DISCONNECTS, at a consistent rate of 24 disconnects every 24 hours, even though it ALWAYS reports that the wireless signal quality is “EXCELLENT” (all this is according to the Wireless Network Test Reports we’ve printed throughout the last 5 months).  So our question is, what is it that this printer is trying to do once an hour over a wireless connection that is causing these thousands of disconnects?  And how can we stop it?
    NOTE!  Before you round up the usual suspects (namely our router and our PC firewalls) please note that we also bought an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus ON THE SAME DAY as the Officejet 6500A Plus.  The 8600 was also installed with a wireless connection, and has worked without a single network issue for the entire 5 months.
    NOW, FOR THE REST OF THE STORY…
    WHO WE ARE:  My wife and I have worked on HP equipment for 33 years, starting in 1979 as corporate customers of HP when we worked for Exxon; then we both worked for HP directly for 17 years; and we’ve now used dozens of pieces of HP equipment in our home during the last 12 years in retirement.  We’re primarily software folks, so we’re not exactly experts in hardware and networking, but on the other hand, this ain’t our first rodeo either.
    OUR CONFIGURATION: 
    PC’s – All running Windows 7 x64 with all important patches applied and Norton Internet Security 2012:  HPE-270f and HP AIO 200-Quad, each with full 6500A and 8600A drivers installed on wireless connection.  These 2 PC’s themselves can connect either wirelessly or via Ethernet to our home network.  The 270f has a dual-band wireless board.  Both bands work.  We also have a new dv7t laptop with only the full 6500A driver installed via wireless connection.  The laptop is now upstairs and it’s connected to our home network wirelessly without any issues.  (This is where we had hoped to also put the 6500A, but it needs to work reliably via wireless connection.)
    ROUTER:  Netgear N600 WNDR3700 providing Ethernet and wireless networking.  Router provides a very strong wireless signal throughout the house.  No wireless problems with any other equipment including an iPod, two Kindle Fires besides all the HP equipment.
    PRINTERS:  Besides the two HP printers, the HPE-270f PC has a Canon MP960 installed on it.  And if we can’t get the 6500A working right or replaced with something that does work right, we may be buying our second Canon printer.  By the way, on the 6500A, ePrint and App’s are set to ON, but of course they’re not being used, just like everything else on this AIO.
    OTHER:  We also have a Sonos music system that connects to our network via Ethernet and has its own proprietary mesh network (on another frequency) for transmitting ripped music wirelessly to speaker units throughout our house.  (If you aren’t familiar with this totally cool system, check out sonos.com).  We’ve never seen any evidence of interference between these two wireless networks, or our wireless phone sets either.
    HP TOOLS AVAILABLE ON ALL 3 PC’s:  HPU
    UPDATE 5.003.001.001 (reporting everything up-to-date); HPHDU 3.1.0.17; HPPDU 5.0.0.015 and HPNDU 4.3.0.002. 
    SYMPTOMS:  The 6500A Plus installs quickly and easliy, and connects wirelessly just fine during installation.  But sometime over the next hour (usually less), it disconnects and won’t print from PC applications.  Sometimes the application puts up an “Unable to communicate with printer” screen, even though the PC usually thinks the printer is “ready”.  Other times, the PC thinks the printer is offline (but printers don’t have “offline” buttons anymore!).  Often, if you just leave everything alone, the 6500A will somehow reconnect and print out the spooled file 5-30 MINUTES later.  So it does usually seem to be able to recover given some time, but that doesn’t always fit our schedule!   Occasionally, turning the wireless radio on the printer off and back on will fix it right away.  But usually, you have to power the printer completely off, and then back on.  As far as we know, that always fixes it…..until the next disconnect a few minutes later!
    PREVIOUSLY TRIED:  After reading some of HP’s wireless network support websites, I manually assigned a fixed IP address to this printer.  It didn’t seem to matter; according to the wireless network test report, it still logs disconnects at the rate of one per hour, and all the failure symptoms were the same.
    We also dabbled a bit with setting this printer as “trusted” to the Firewall, but that didn’t seem to matter either.
    Next, we connected the printer via Ethernet.  The printer immediately started to work, even though it had just been in its “failed” state over the wireless connection.  As far as we know, it never failed while connected via Ethernet.  This seems to point to a purely wireless hardware/firmware problem on the printer itself.
    Late last year, I tried two different chat sessions about this with the inter-continental AIO support teams, each one lasting several hours.  Unfortunately, none of their optimistic solution scripts seemed to fit our problem.  They both seemed determined to reconfigure the 6500A as a TCP/IP printer, which of course worked fine initially, just like everything else.  At this point, they would understandably want to close the chat.  But 20-30 minutes later, we could no longer print to it.  During the second chat, they got into one of our PC’s remotely and effectively turned off the spooler (by selecting “Print Directly” or something like that).  After that, all was well again (as usual) UNTIL the printer disconnected, at which time attempting to print from that PC would HANG the application (since the spooler was no longer buffering) and eventually hang the whole PC.  One giant leap backwards.  That’s when I gave up on the multi-hour chat sessions.
    The three diagnostic utilities (HDU, PDU, NDU) have been tried over and over.  When the printer is in its disconnected state, the DU’s usually don’t detect the 6500A at all, or if they do detect it, they are unable to fix anything.  Frankly, it’s easier to just power the printer off (which takes about a minute) and power the printer back on (which takes more than a minute) and then wait for the spooler to kick in (usually about 30 seconds).  BUT WE DON’T CONSIDER THAT A SOLUTION!!
    B.L.A.B.  (Bottom Line At Bottom):  We have used up nearly the entire black ink cartridge and at least a ream of paper troubleshooting this brand new printer, to no avail.  This printer is useless to us unless it can maintain a wireless connection reliably.  Please help!
    Thanks –
    Bob and Jane

    I bought the Officejet 6500A Plus about one month and have experienced the very same problem. I tried to remedy this problem following suggestions in a number of different posts (static IP, router, firewalls etc), all to no avail. Last week I called support. The support I received by the tech over several hours and different days for a week was very good. However none of his suggestions corrected the connection issue. After today's recommended fix failed, he advised HP is aware of this issue with the 6500 and other affected printers. He claimed HP was working on a firmware upgrade. He did not know when the update would be provided. The tech also claimed HP acknowledged this problem in a written announcement. He agreed to email the announcement to me. I haven't received it. This has been the only problem I've had with the 6500

  • HP Officejet 6500A Plus

    My HP Officejet 6500A Plus all in one printer recently stopped functioning and printing.   First the Wireless network stopped working (Wireless Status Disconnected) and the Wireless Netwok Test Report advice was “contact HP support”.  Then I started getting endless errors and flashing print screens with numerical references like 83C00009, 00729C98 etc.  Any attempt to turn off the printer using the “off button” resulted in another error message.  The following are examples of the stream of new error messages that appeared each time the “off button” was pressed: B0000A16; B03DA14A; B811DEB6; B8383184; B03E3B66; B83D99B8 etc.  To finally “turn off” the printer it became necessary to disconnect the power.  I have consulted the manual and queries on the HP site using the numerical references as search criteria, does not return any useful results / strategies.  I found a video about how to do a partial “reset” (turn on using # + 3) but while this did allow me to access the print screen, it did not resolve anything and the numerical errors and flashing lights reappeared.  I downloaded the HP diagnostic tools, but they came up with nothing – i.e. could not communicate with my printer.  I read on some post that there may be a problem with the printer head, so I ran the Printer Status Report, but it seemed OK.  Regardless I ran the clean the PrinterHead tool, and again this seemed OK, so I didn’t run the 2nd stage.   My printer is out of warranty.  It is 1.5 years old, but hasn’t been used that much.  According to the Printer Status Report it has printed 1534 pages and scanned 290.
    What can I do?  Most of the "internet searches" suggest that if the printer is out of warranty the only option is landfill.

    Thank you.  Thesole reason I bought this printer was to use its wireless “Airprint” functionality to print from an iPad and when it worked it was a fabulous product.  The start of these constant alphanumeric errors seemed to coincide with the wireless function ceasing to work (it went offline, HP Network Configuration Report – Network Status “Offline”, and Wireless status “Disconnected”).  Maybe that was just a coincidence.  Running the “Wireless Network Test Report” the recommendation is “Contact HP support***”.  I.e.  The Wireless is on (blue light good) PASS, but the Wireless Working status is FAIL.
    I have only tried using the USB in an attempt to get around the wireless not working, i.e. still able to do some basic printing and perhaps upload firmware updates etc.  I have tried different USB ports on my laptop computer but only with the same USB cable that came with the printer.  This original printer cable has only been used a couple of times and it has on two occasions allowed me to print successfully from the laptop (i.e. initially it worked although .  Surely it should be OK.  I am reluctant to go out and buy another cable in the hope that it might resolve something and I don’t really have access to another computer to test.
    Thank you I have previously seen that article.  It was somewhat useful.  My errors messages (mostly 83C0009, and sometimes just a black and white striped screen or B0525DAE, B866A570 etc) however do not include system ink failure and the article basically therefore simply recommends switching the computer off at the same time the ink cartridges are removed.  This has in the past provided some improvement in the frequency of the error messages but it is usually short-lived and the error message returns.  The error message can however become entrenched and at that point the print cartridges don’t move when the printer door is open and therefore can’t be removed.  At this point I've tried turning the printer on while holding down #+3 to try and get back to a home screen, rather than an error screen.
    On the upside, I can occasionally still make photocopies and the print quality is good. 
    Any guidance on what I should do next?
