Cartridge Management For Officejet 6500 Wireless

Hi There,
I recently called in to tech support to enquire on how to determine more accurately the level of ink remaining in the cartridges. I was told to print a status report that provided me with an estimated ink level. I am concerned that the ink usage may be under the amounts suggested for the XL cartridges.The status report stated that 600 pages have been printed, which may be more or less in line with the the XL cartridges. The magenta cartridge shows the lowest level, followed by yellow, and blue.
Can you please clarify the following:
1. Once the ink delivery information reports a cartridge to be empty,should it be removed, or left in place?
2. Can you operate the printer with only a black ink cartridge inserted?
3. Is it true that when you select to print with black ink only, there is stilll some usage from the color cartridges?
Thank you very much for your help!

1.Ink delivery report is considered acurate. So the ink is needed to be replaced.
2.You cannot.
3.For best print quality and to get a solid black color yes it may use color ink.

HP OfficeJet 6500 wireless twain driver( for scan to quickbooks) needed

I have an extra HP OfficeJet 6500 wireless printer around and I wanted to see if it had a twain driver so we could use it to scan to attach directly to QuickBooks. QuickBooks lists scanners they think would work and it is not on the list but they also state that any twain driver should work.

HP Officejet 6500 Wireless/Curled corner with Ink blotch

I am printing on 5.83" x 8.27" cardstock in color. The left hand top corner of nearly every page is turned up with a round ink blotch that smears if you touch it. I have printed about 100 of these on new color ink cartridges and it is getting worse to the point that nearly every page now has this issue. I have run the "clean printhead' function on the tools menu but that doesn't help. Any suggestions?

Hello blueeyes14,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are running into some print quality issues when attempting to print on 5.83" x 8.27" card stock to your HP Officejet 6500 Wireless Printer. After taking a look at the Supported Card Sizes, the card stock you are using is not supported. With that being said, there could be a few factors that are causing the issue you are experiencing:
1. The card stock may be to thick, so the ink is not able to properly dry before it finishes the print causing the blotch and curl. (I understand you may have had successful prints with that cardstock size, that does not mean it is supported)
2. I notice you have printed 100+ of these, please keep in mind if the printer is running for long periods of time this could cause it to overheat and not work properly.
Can you please let me know what the weight of the card stock is you are using?
I will watch for your reply.
Thanks,

Scanning with HP Officejet 6500 Wireless All-in-One Printer - E709n using Windows 7 Pro editition

I have had this printer for many years and it was fully operational only for the first two years of its link to my computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software many times with no success. The Printer/Scan doctor does not solve the problem and gives an error HP Twain Scan. The HP Scan Flow Manager also says that software components are missing The printer works fine but the scanner in the solution center always responds with a error code saying installation is incomplete, "reinstall HP Photosmart software that came with the device and try scanning again" . The extended error information is 4,[2,0,80040154), (0,0,0),(3,56,0)] Another computer, my wife's laptop, running Windows 8 was operational until the end of May 2015, and she is also getting this error code with her computer. This has got to be the most annoying all-in-one I have ever used. I have a Canon all in one at work that I have used with the laptop and the all operating features are mindless...it just works. HP software must have compatibility issues either related to operating systems updates or security software. My computer uses AVG, the laptop uses McAffee and beither scanner operates with this printer. I need to get this scanner operational!

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that you cannot scan with your HP Officejet 6500 wireless printer on Windows 7 and 8. I am happy to look into this issue for you! Some questions for you: Are you able to make copies with the printer from the scanner glass? Loading and Copying 216 x 279 mm (8.5 x 11 inch) Plain Paper. (This way we can verify that the hardware is functional.)Do you see any error messages on the printer's display screen, or blinking lights? In the meantime, please take a look through this scanning guide, An 'HP Cue Scanning Flow component has encountered a problem and needs to be closed' Error Displays for HP Deskjet, Officejet, and Photosmart All-in-Ones.

HP Officejet 6500 Wireless Scaning black lines on copies

HP Officejet 6500 Wireless Scaning black lines on copies

Hello Dadbowling, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing lines in your copies. I would like to help.
I would recommend removing the ink cartridges, and performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also recommend following the steps in this document on Vertical Bands, Lines, or Streaks in Copies, Faxes, or Scans.

HP officejet 6500 wireless suddenly stopped printing black ink.

HP Officejet 6500 wireless has stopped printing black ink. Followed all troubleshooting steps to no avail. Prints colors but black is either very faint or not present

Welcome to the forums Irgoodspeed
I saw your post about your Oj 6500 Wireless no longer printing in black ink. I noticed you have already changed the cartridge which did not help.
I would recommend following this troubleshooting guide:
Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages
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.

How do I print from an iPad 3 Generation to an Officejet 6500 wireless E709n printer

I am a new iPad user and I have a 3rd Generation iPad and want to print to an Officejet 6500 wireless E709n printer but the iPad does not recognize the printer when I try to print or visa-versa. I am using a Ubee Modem/Router and don't know what to do. What do I have to do or what do I have to download to make the iPad and HP Printer print.

.... No AirPrint Printers Found. And it won't Print
Hi,
Your printer is not in the list therefore no AirPrint available. Your printer does not support ePrint therefore you can use Home & Biz apps. Have you downloaded apps to your iPad yet ? If yes, please try:
Pressing the iPad home button two times (a list of currently running apps should appear at the bottom of the screen).
Press and hold the HP ePrint Home & Biz app until it starts to move around.
Press the red 'X' on the app to end its process.
Press the iPad home button.
Regards.

Using HP Officejet 6110 and Officejet 6500 wireless issues

I have been using an HP Offciejet 6110 printer for a long time with an HP laptop running WINXP. I purchased a new HP laptop running WIN7. The WIN7 laptop will print to the 6110 in color only and doesn't allow the HP Imagimg Director software to work.
I recently purchased a new HP Officejet 6500 wireless printer and set that up to run off the HP laptop with WIN7 using the full software install. That seems to be working OK.
I then setup theold XP laptop using only the drivers for the Officejet 6500 so I could still use the Officejet 6110 from that computer and all the scanning and other features of the HP Imageing Director software. But it appears that the Officejet 6500 drivers have scewed up the Officejet 6110 software drivers on the XP laptop. How do I get this computer back to using the 6110 as normal (which was very useful) but be able to use the 6500 as an optional printer without all the 6500 features?

Hi dresdenron,
Thanks for clarifying the issue again. I was a bit confused.
How is the Officejet 6500 and Officejet 6110 setup on the Windows XP? (USB, Wireless)
Both models use completely different software. So there shouldn't be any interference even if the full software had been installed for the Officejet 6500. If both printers are connected by a USB cable, then the Officejet 6500 might have taken over the port and therefore causing the scan not to work.
What happens when you try to scan? (error message)
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
If the issue persists, uninstall and reinstall the Officejet 6110. This way it will be recognized on the new port assigned.
Uninstalling the Printer Software.
HP Officejet and PSC Full Feature Software and Driver.
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
The Officejet 6110 is a Windows Update for Windows 7. There is no HP Imaging Director software available to run on Windows 7. Installing the Printer Software in Windows 7 for a USB Cable Connection.
Please provide in detail the results. If I missed anything, just let me know.
Thank You.

How to print doc from my kindle fire to a hp officejet 6500 wireless printer

I have a kindle fire and a hp officejet 6500 wireless printer. How do I connect the 2 and print a document that is on my kindle? They are both in the same house

Hi,
Please try:
From a supported app, find the Print option from the app's menu, and then tap Print .
Find the option to select your printer. The Kindle device displays a list of printers that are available on the Wi-Fi network.
Find your printer on the Wi-Fi list, and then tap to select it. Once you select the printer, your device remembers the selection.
If your printer is not on the Wi-Fi list or if you want to use the wireless direct connection method instead, find your printer on the Wireless Direct list, and then tap to select it. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the connection. Once your printer is connected, your device remembers the selection.
Make any changes to the available printing options, if desired.
Tap Print to send the print job to the printer.
Pleae note: Only "Fire OS 3.0 (Mojito) devices such as the Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire HDX tablets support Printing from Kindle."

Apple macbook air compatibility with HP Officejet 6500 Wireless

Two questions
1. If I buy a new current model MacBook Air, will it work with my HP Officejet 6500 Wireless printer?
2. Sometimes when I power up the printer, it can take as long as five minutes to register "ready." Why the erratic time to go online?
Thanks
TT95

Thanks for your swift reply to the Apple/HP compatibility question. Trust it will work when I buy MacBook Air. The HP app available at iTunes store helped us make our older Apple IPad print compatible even though the HP 6500 Wireless is not equipped with AirPrint.
Regarding slowness of HP 6500 to reach "Ready" stage for printing. This is a printer for home use, so it not on a network. It always eventually prints.
Your help is much appreciated.

Officejet 6500 Wireless dead on install

While installing my new Officejet 6500 Wireless printer as a wireless network printer, the
install fails to find the printer... though my firewall is turned off. At this point, it goes ahead
and installs the driver, as the printer is still hooked up by a USB cable.
Once the software was installed, the printer became a "brick". That is, the display is all
white, none of the buttons are lit up, and it is completely unresponsive. If I try unplugging it and
pluggin it back in, it goes through some kind of breif warm up and dies again. This is the second
time this has happened... the first time I returned the printer for exchange.
Is there a way to bring this thing back to life, or should I return it again and this time go
for a Canon printer?

Try unplugging from the back of the printer (not at the wall) and waiting 30 seconds before plugging back in. You may have a defective unit.
You can try running the Wireless Setup Wizard from the front panel to attach it to your wireless network.

I have an officejet 6500 wireless, doesn't print fonts from quickbooks after moved to new house...

I have an officejet 6500 wireless and it worked just fine - used it for pronting from Quickbooks. Moved to new house. Because of new router had to reinstall via install CD. Install worked fine. When printing checks from Quickbooks I now get a message that says the the printer does not support the font being requested - it used to...what's up with this?

Does this only happen when printing from Quickbooks? Have you tried adjusting the settings in QB's? The meesage you are receiving is saying that the font that QB's is wanting to use is not supported by the printer.
I've included a link to the Hp website that has some updates available for this printer that might help as well.

How can I print to my HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless Printer from my iPhone 4S which used to work before AirPrint printers were even available? (running Mac Lion OS, all software and HP sw updates are all performed)

How can I print to my HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless Printer from my iPhone 4S which used to work (on prior iPhones) before AirPrint printers were even available? (running Mac Lion OS, all software and HP sw updates are all performed)
I don't get it, I read one post about why would we have to buy an AirPrint Printer when we have used the "print to a wifi printer" just fine in the past? Yes I feel that's exactly what's happening to me now too. I want to print from my iPhone and iPad to my WiFi Printer which is also now connected to my Airport Express WiFi network just fine. No problems.

Very glad you added that bit of information because I see different problems similar to this. I want to share with them what you did and hopefully you not only fixed your specific problem but you can lend some more advice to others with problems like this. Thanks!
