Installing OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless on Windows 7 laptop with no network

Just purchased the OJPro 8500 Wireless and am trying to install on a new laptop with Windows 7 installed. First the CD that came with the printer didn't like Windows 7, so I downloaded the latest drivers from HP and things started happening... but no cigar.
I'm trying to connect the printer to a laptop using wireless<-->printer, there is no wireless network involved. The equipment is as follows:
- 3-IN-ONE HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 wireless
- Laptop MSI CX600 series with wireless/bluetooth
I would really appreciate any info on how to accomplish this.
Thanks.

1st, thx for clue about ad hoc (wireless) NETWORK (on pg. 10 & 11) in hp OFFICEJET "Wireless Getting Started Guide".
Windows 7 HELP & HP Solution Center were both pretty useless.
(Specifically)
Type "ad hoc" in Search Programs & Files (under START icon).
Results will be; "Set up an ad hoc (computer-to-computer) network". (Click on this)
Results will be; Dialog box to give name to network & set security, then SAVE.
NOTE: My Officejet Pro 8500n recognized "Security Type" = "No Authentication (Open)" & "Encryption Type" = "None"
(Go to)
Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Connect to a network
Results will be; (in Dialog box for "Open Network and Sharing Center") a listing of your ad hoc network name & message (in bold) "Waiting for users"
Finally, on Officejet Pro touch screen, Select "Setup Menu", "Network", "Wireless Setup Wizard", [Name] (given to ad hoc Network in Windows 7), & OK.
(Opps, 1 more thing) Also, follow instructions on pg. 10, to "Change from a USB connection".

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless A909g Loses Connectivity

[posted on behalf of another user]
Problem with HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless A909g
New printer will not stay connected to the wireless network. The printer continuously drops the network connection.
For 15-20 minutes at a time, it will go off-line, then come back on for ~5 mins. If you power off the printer it will re-connect. Energy Saving feature has been disabled.
When the printer is off-line, I cannot ping it nor reach it by http interface.
The router is a Belkin-N+ router, WPA-PSK security.
The printer is at address 192.168.2.4 and is static in both the Router and the printer.
The SSID is broadcast and the channel being used is 7, wireless mode is b,g and N
The printer says it has a connection strength of 5, and always shows itself connected.
The printer does not reconnect, unless you power cycle it.
If the printer is pingable then everything works fine, when it is not nothing works. The fact that it works when it is on-line makes me believe everything with the network connection is fine, other than the possibility that there is a signal problem. But since other devices with b cards, connect to the router with no problem, and the printer reports a strong connection I do not believe this is the problem.
I currently have a script running that pings the server every minute and it still disconnects.

Unfortunately, you are not alone. Search the forums for this problem and you will find several threads. Based on being involved with several of those here is what I recommend:
1. Connect with Ethernet cable if you can. Your problems will likely disappear.
2. If not, try changing the wireless channel to 1 or 11.
3. Try changing your group key renewal time (WPA key) to the maximum allowable by the router.
4. You can try this firmware update, but it does not list this as a fault it corrects.
Let's try those and go from there...

Will my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless work with the new Mac OS Lion

Will my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless work with the new Mac OS Lion

My experience with upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion is that the OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless will print just fine, although it seems to take a little longer to find the printer on the network. My scan function however locks up and will not work. This really is an annoyance, though, since I have VueScan, which works fine with Lion.
Hopefully, Apple and HP will not orphan the OS native scanning feature for HP multifunction printers.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless - will not print green

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless that will not print Green.
I have:
1. Cleaned Printhead using device cleaning command. All steps
2. Alligned Printer - get message 'Alignment failed. Refer to device documentation for details.' I see know documentation
3. Calibrate Linefeed
4. Unplugged device while it was on and then replugged restarted.
5. Unplugged device while it was on and cleaned magenta/cyan printhead (following instructions from your website explictly).
The Alignment failed message persists and it still will not print green. I have done some of the above multiple times.
I hope you can help quickly. I have a home office and this is putting me behind a lot!
If I need a new printhead, get one and it does not fix the problem, can I return it? How can I get a printhead quickly?
THanks! Kathy

Printing problem - HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One Printer - printer head?

I posted this elsewhere, but I think I posted it on the wrong Forum so I am posting it here now. I hope I did not do anything to upset anyone. I am new to this area, please forgive my clumsiness.
I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One Printer. I've had my printer since December 2009 and no problems. I recently bought a new laptop with Windows 7 and had to go online to find the drivers that work for my printer. Windows 7 was not compatible with this printer.
Also recently, I am having a problem with what I think may be the black printer head, but when I run diagnostic on it everything comes back saying it is fine. However the problem still exist. When printing the black color will become faded in some areas and in some lines will not only almost totally fade out, but will almost look italic.
Can you tell me if this is the printer head and does it need replacing or is there another problem?
SondraS

Are you using genuine HP cartridges and not refilled or third-party cartridges?
Print the Print Quality Diagnostic page from the setup menu/print report/ on the printer's front panel
Are there any quality issues with this page?

HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless all-in-one printer

Just bought second-hand HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless all-in-one printer. Have no clue how to get it working. I plugged it in and it seems to be operational, but when trying to print, it did not work. Have an HP Pavilion laptop with Windows 8.1. Can anyone help me?

Hi @trudi39 , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I can see from your post you are experiencing print issues. I would like to help!
Do you receive any errors?
Does it print a blank page, or nothing at all?
Are you connected via wireless, ethernet or a USB cable?
In the meantime, I would recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

I Have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless. Trying to print to it from my iPad2. Having some problems. Trying to print docs or files from the iPad usuall gets me a page that looks scrunched up to one side. Is there a good printer app (preferably free or shareware) that I could get or is there a patch, new driver, new firmware or something for the 8500 that would allow good printing fro the iPad wirelessly?

The latest firmware version for your printer is DLM1FN1006BR; you can verify yours by printing out a self test page via the front panel of your printer.
Also, the HP ePrint Home & Biz app supports printing over your local wireless network, so please verify if your printer is connected to the same access point as your iPad2. You are also able to verify connectivity by typing your printer's ip address within the address bar of your safari web browser.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless Networking with LINKSYS WRT54GS wireless router

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless printer conneted via WiFi to my LYNKSYS WRT54GS wireless router. I do not have a USB cable or ethernet cable plugged to the printer. I am able to use the 'scan to email button' and the 'scan to network folder' button on the front of the printer and I can pint from the PC to the printer with no problems.
I installed the HP printer software from the CD, choosing network/wireless connection, without having to install any USB cables from the PC to the printer in the process. many posts in the forum mention having to connect USB cables in the wireless installation process.
Can I install the software in the same fashion on the other two laptops? Or, do I need to do something differently?

The USB cable is used on those printers which do not have display or front panel wireless setup is not possible. We configure the wireless settings during install and save those settings in printer's memory by transferring through USB cable. Therefore the USB is plugged in during wireless installation temporarily. In your case I don't think plugging in USB cable is necessary as the printer is already on network and had IP address. Connect the laptops on wireless network and proceed with regular install, the printer should be detected automatically.

Printing problem - HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One Printer, Red color fads on 4th copy

I have an HP HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One Printer, and am trying to print 75 copies of a program for our event. After the first 5-6 pages the RED in my program starts to turn magenta. I have brand new HP ink, and am printing on HP Color Injet Paper. I have renectly replaced the Black/Yellow printhead (at least 6 months ago). At first when I cleaned the printheads, I could print 2 or 3 pages showing my RED color. Then turns back to magenta. When I received the test patterns after cleaning the print heads they are all perfect with no lines.
What is going on and how can I fix it?
This question was solved.

Hi TM1997,
I understand you have an Officejet 8500 Wireless that is not printing red properly, it keeps turning to magenta. I'm sorry to hear this, but I will definitely do my best to help you!
As I'm sure you saw, when replacing the black and yellow printhead, that there are two printheads in the Officejet 8500 and the second one controls the magenta and cyan. I would suggest that you first have a look through this Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues document. You can also manually clean your printhead with the steps in this 'The Following Printhead Appears to be Missing or Damaged' or 'The Following Printhead has a Problem... document.
Hope this helps, have a great day!!

Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-In-One Windows 8 driver not working

Hello!
I recently got a new Dell Inspiron computer running the 64-bit version of Windows 8, and I have an Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-In-One Printer from a long time ago. I don't have the disc version of the driver, since I purchased the printer before Windows 8 came out, so I tried to download it from the HP website. Whenever I try to run it, however, it says that it is extracting, but once the extract is finished, nothing happens. The Installation Wizard doesn't pop up, and there is no error message explaing it. Help please?
Thanks!
This question was solved.

Hi,
Can I check if your Officejet Pro 8500 is A909 or A910? Alternatively, you can install the class driver built into Windows 8 to print to your printer. There are also a couple of Windows Store apps (HP AiO Remote and HP Scan and Capture) that would work with your printer.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless A909g, CB023A, how to perform full-reset

I own this printer since December 2009, during the first 15 months I had several problems/defects and also repairs and excange units. The problems continue on and in September 2011, in October 2011 and in November 2011 I got excange devices after repair attempts (one device was delivered without any function). The last device worked with one (?) (minor resp. accepted) problem until today resp. June 2014. ...this is the previous history ---> ---> I need sequence to perform full-reset on HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless A909g ---> Please send procedure/sequence how to perform a full-reset on this printer - not hard reset nor semi-reset: full-reset !!! Please send this information without unnecessary questions about my problems: My only problem is to own such printer!

Hello AlexBW,
I received your private message and I thank you for writing me back.
One other step that I think may assist us would be to 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.
Once you have the unit connected directly to a wall outlet, follow the instructions that I provided in the private message.
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 Pro 8500 Wireless A909g won't install drivers

Hi, I just got HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One Printer - A909g. I tried to install the HP software through he wireless connection and the MAC sees the printer in the network but the installation process would not go to install; it stops after installation type and then the button for install just does not work. I tried both with CD and downloaded file but it's same for both. It's the same also when I try through the USB connection. Is it the computer or the installation software?

"Phone off-hook" HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless, Product CB023A

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless printer/fax/copier all in one.
The message "phone off-hook" appears on my display.
I ran the Fax Test and received a PASS for all results.
A few minutes later, a message appeared on the printer/fax display: "Turn power off, then on again". I did so.
This message, "Turn power off, then on again" continues to repeat and after I turn power off then on, the "phone off-hook" displays again. It is an endless loop of receiving these two messages.
I also did the following:
1. Unplugged the telephone fax line from LINE of the Officejet Pro.
2. Unplugged the power cord to the printer.
3. Replugged the power cord to the printer.
4. Powered up the printer
5. After powering up, the message, "phone off-hook" reappears.
I ran the fax test
Run Fax Test:
1. select Tools from HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless display panel.
2. Select Run Fax Test
Results:
Fax Hardware Test ........................................................ PASS
Fax Connected to Active Telephone Wall Jack ......... PASS
Phone Cord Connected to Correct Port on Fax ........ PASS
Using Correct Type of Phone Cord with Fax ............. PASS
Dial Tone Detection ....................................................... PASS
Fax Line Condition Test ................................................ PASS
3. The message still appears.
My printer description is as follows:
- Model No. : A909G (look inside of the ink access door); Regulatory Model No. : SNPRC-0703-02
- Product No. : CB023A
- Serial No. CN0737R2DH
Is the printer defective? What should I do to correct this problem?
Thanks,
ArtLaw

Hello ArtLaw,
If you have followed all the troubleshooting steps outlined in this troubleshooting article then the only other solution is to have the printer serviced as it may be a printer hardware issue.
