Duplex Printing on a HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless Printer

Duplex printing - 1. How do you change the settings to make the printer print on both sides of a single sheet of paper?
                         2. How do you change the settings to make the printer print on both sides of a single sheer of paper and
                              when it prints the backside of the sheet it rotates the text so that when you read the text you FLIP it
                              up vertically to read the backside rather than just turning the over to read the text on the backside.
I thought I knew the answer to this question - but yesterday when I printed an Owner's Manual for a friend the printer printed 10 sheets that you had to FLIP the sheet over to read the text on the other side (Note: FLIP was not "X"'d. Then when I printed again I changed the setting so that FLIP was "X"d and it printed with the orientation that I needed (just turn the sheet over to read the text on the backside of the sheet).
NO instructions about "Printer Settings" came with the printer so I am in the dark about "HOW TO" things. As I said before I thought I need how to do it - but it performed exactly backwards as I had thought,,,Have I got TOO old to remember HOW TO set up settings? Would appreciate help with this and where I can do to get info about HP Printer Settings. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I assume you are using Windows 7
For 1)
Click Start. Go to "Devices and Printers".
Double Click on the printer icon.
Click Customize Printer
Click Preference
Select "Print on both sides" and select "Flip on long Edge"
For 2)
Repeat the same steps but select "Flip on short Edge"
You can find the same preferences when you click on preferences on the print menu (Ctrl + P)

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless print cartridge error

Why can't I just print using only my black ink cartridge. I don't need the color and it is too expensive to buy. My printer has two empty color cartridges (which I don't care), but won't let me print only black until the empty color cartridges are replaced. I ONLY NEED BLACK!!! Is there any way to get around this problem?????

Hi there Brzzzzzr,
Lets set the printer to black and white only first. Open your printer prferences and under printing shortcuts select Fast/Economical under printer shortcuts. To the right choose the Black Ink only from the print in grayscale drop down. If the notification still persists you may be able to remove the color cartridge and print. Not models support this though, let us know if it helps.
Best of Luck!

Why does my yellow not print on my HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 wireless

If I have a full Yellow cartridge, why doesn't it print with yellow.

Hi nbrazill
I would be happy to help you.
I understand your full yellow cartridge isn't printing.
Check the date on the cartridge to make sure it is still in warranty.
Here is a url for print quality issues to determine why the yellow isn't printing.

Using an HP officejet pro 8500 wireless printer and unable to print anything web based/internet

checked wireless connection and it is fine but unable to print anything that is web based like an airline itinerary. McAfee says it is not the firewall. Any ideas?

Are you able to print other things than web based ? Like word documents, etc.
What behaviour you may see while printing from the web?
As well, did you tried the HP Smart Print toolbr Application?

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless Printer....indicates a paper jam when there isnt one

Unit was working fine, including wireless. Now paper jam message keeps reappearing when there isn't a jam. Any thoughts

If the printer is under warranty, contact HP Support. If not, it is probably cheaper to buy a new printer than to fix this one.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless printing

I am using a lap top with windows 7. I have microsoft office version 2003. I have a document in my excel program that is in landscape position. I need to rotate it 90 degrees clockwise in order to print it in a portrait position. All my other pages for my document is in the portrait position. Need advise on how to rotate it.

Hi there sorry to learn that you are having this issue;
Have you tried this;
On the File menu, click Page Setup, and then click the Margins tab.
Under Orientation, click Portrait or Landscape.
If what you want to accomplish is to print some sheets of the document in portrait and others on landscape. as far as I know you cannot. you can print the document in 2 parts one with the pages in portrait selected and the others on landscape on another print job e.g.. page 1 to 5 (1-5,7,8) without the parenthesis portrait and 6,9,10 which have what you want to print in portrait, that is how I do it when I comfort this issue.
MS Word 2003
On the File menu, click Print.
Under Page range, click Pages.
In the Pages box, type instructions to print one of the following:
Note you can do as well print sections, When you type the range of pages, use the syntax p#s#-p#s#. For example, to print page 5 of section 3 through page 2 of section 4, type p5s3-p2s4. To print nonadjacent pages or nonadjacent sections, use a comma (,) to separate the page and section numbers when you type them. For example, to print sections 3 and 5 (but not section 4), type s3,s5. To print pages 2 through 5 of section 3 and pages 1 through 4 of section 5, type p2s3-p5s3,p1s5-p4s5.
Please let me know if I can assist you any further; I will do my best to assist you;
Hope this helps;

HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a Print Cancelled when printing borderless A4

Hi
We have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a that normally works very well. We need to print a brochure in full colour on A4 borderless and the printer starts printing and then cancels the job itself after printing about a fifth of the page. I have tried all different printing options and it works fine if there is a print margin but will not work for borderless. This applies to printing from all different applications (Microsoft and Adobe).
We urgently need to print the brochure so a speedy resolution would be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance.

I am having a similar problem printing a two-sided 3-fold brochure in full color. The first side prints normally, but the second side prints two fo the three panels and then printing cancels on the third. I am printing from a Windows 7 laptop over a Wifi connection onto an HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless printer. A solution would be much appreciated!

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.

"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.

Officejet pro 8500 wireless w/ blue screen B8808C14, B8614C64, B8806060 or B8806238 error message

Hi -My printer, HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless Printer A909g connected via USB, was on when our lights flickered. It is plugged into a surge protector. However, there has been one of four error messages on the touch screen whenever the printer power is on. B8808C14, B8614C64, B8806060, or B8806238 have come up on a blue screen just after I turn it on to warm up. No buttons respond on the printer. Nothing prints. The computer is running Windows Vista 64 bit and it says the printer is offline. HP Solution Center on the computer says the printer is disconnected when it is still connected. If you hit the on/off button the printer turns off for a moment then comes back on to one of the four error code messages listed above. I have disconnected the printer completely, moved it, and plugged it into a power source in the kitchen and the same error message comes up and no buttons respond. We've had the printer 18 months with no problems.

Hey Ceres, real quick question for you:
Has this printer ever been set up on a network either wirelessly or wired to your router? I ask because this type of error message (Bxxxxxxx) applies most to printers which are having issues connecting to your network.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless (DUPLEXER MISSINN)

Hi,
can anbody help me please?? I just bought a 2nd hand printer HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless. The printer doesnt feed the paper (it does not pick it up). However, the paper goes pass by the printer and leaves through the back. There is no duplexer installed on the back. Do you think this causes the problem and then will buying a new duplexer solve the issue?
Thanks a lot,
rob

There are a few different part numbers for the duplexer, any of these should work:
C9101A
C9101-67001
CQ821-65001
I see these offered various places from $11.95 to over $200. I have had good results in the past buying a duplexer on ebay.

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
