  • Problems printing international shipping labels in PayPal since updating to iOS 7

    Problems printing international shipping labels in PayPal since updating to iOS 7. When I press the reprint label button, another tab opens up, which it did in the previous version but instead of the shipping label bring displayed I get a message saying cannot open page as the network connection has been lost. By this point I have already been charged for the shipping. Any ideas why???

    I have the same problem, not just with international labels, but with any shipping labels in Paypal.  iPhone 5 and iPad w/ Retina Display using iOS 7.0.2.

  • Trouble Printing with HP Officejet Pro 8500

    Hello - I recently changed my laptop and have a Windows 7.  I went online and downloaded the software and am able to do a test print page with the Print Doctor.  However, when i print from my laptop and select the correct printer, it doesn't do anything or respond with printing.  I was able to install and have it work with my old laptop, i just can't seem to work it on this one.
    Thank You

  • I can print to HP Officejet Pro 8500 - A909g but I can't scan. Won't recognize?

    I have HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One Printer - A909g and a Lenovo T410 lap top.  I can print but my computer doesn't recognize my my 8500 to scan?  I have uninstall and reinstalled the software and still nothing!  I have checked with my wireless network Linksys and everything checks out.  They tell me that the problem is with my HP 8500.  I have hardwired to the printer and it scans okay.  What must I do to wirelessly scan?
    Thank you,  John

    I had the same problems as reported in previous posts.  I reinstalled my entire system and upgraded to Windows 7, 64 bit, Ultimate.  Only the priint driver would install from the Full Feature Drivers option at HP Support.
    Uninstall/install print driver to no avail.
     Turn printer/router/computer off/on.
    Download full feature drivers from HP website. (Only print driver was downloaded.)
    HP diagnostic utilities did not discover a problem.
    I believe the problem had to do with the drivers accessed via the  HP Support site.  I downloaded from the following location:  http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c02073861&jumpid=ex_r4155/hho/ipg/cc...
    Ran the Install Wizard from there and the printer/fax/scan tests.  Passed all.  All drivers are now installed as is the HP Solution Center. 
    Glad to finally be up and running!!!!

  • Cannot start HP Printing Software (HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 A910a)

    Hello,
    When I doubleclick on the HP Software icon on my desktop strange behavior results. Nothing opens and my computer behaves erratically. After quite a while I get the following error messages:
    instancefinderdlg.exe
    werfault.exe
    Then, after this - my computer sort of reboots all by itself. But not a full reboot - it just goes back to the initial logon screen and I re-enter my Windows password, and the desktop shows.
    I am running Windows 8.1 Pro (64 bit). The printer is set up to operate wirelessly. 
    After doubleclicking on the HP Software icon and waiting a long time for the software to open, as I mentioned above, one thing I tried was a ctrl-alt-del and opened Task Manager. I checked the services running and there was multiple instances of an HP service running (I don't recall the name but there seemed to be dozens of the same HP service running).
    I also completely uninstalled all HP software using Revo Uninstaller, and then re-installed the complete software / driver package for the OfficeJet Pro 8500 A910a - but this did not make any difference; exactly the same problems ocurred again. 
    This has only happened in recent days. Prior to this I was able to doubleclick on the HP software icon and the software opened normally and I was able to check settings, ink levels, etc. Interestingly, the printer still seems to function well - I can print from Word, print photos from Lightroom, etc. I just can't open the HP Printer Software from my desktop.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
    This question was solved.

    Hello again,
    I tried the first part but it did not work.
    However, the second more detailed part (with the 9 steps), appears to have worked! I now can double-click on the HP Printer icon and everthing functions as it used to previously.
    I would like to take this opportunity to thank you very, very much! You have been very patient with me as a customer and very persistent and determined to find a solution. Over the course of several days you suggested various possible solutions. When something did not work, you did not give up but continued to search for a solution. You really are a very fine example of what customer service should be. You deserve a big raise! Thanks again.

  • Scanning Problems with an HP OfficeJet Pro 8500

    I have an iMac running the latest version of Snow Leopard. I have had the HARDEST time, since purchasing my iMac in Dec 2010, scanning documents with my HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 printer. What happens is usually one of two things: 1) Only half of the page fills the scan window, or; 2) The entire document fills the scan window BUT the SCAN button is greyed out so that it cannot be selected!
    Yes, I have done the whole delete the current printer drivers, get the drivers through Software Update, reset the printing, etc. None of that has worked (well, on occasion it works for a while). I am not using the drivers that came with the HP 8500; I'm told that you should use the drivers from Apple Software Update.
    I have discussed this with Apple Support. They say I need to purchase  Apple Protection Care for them to address this. This is weird, considering that this appears to be a software problem with software supplied by Apple!
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hi,A phone cable connection to a landline is required for faxing. Generally, a wireless connection only refer to the connection with a computer for printing and scanning, it do not refer to a fax setup. Regardless, the specific device does not support any wireless connectivity but only a wired network or a USB. Regards,Shlomi

  • How do I set up wireless printing of my Officejet Pro 8500 on a laptop with Windows 8?

    How do I set up wireless printing from my all in one Officejet Pro 8500 printer to my laptop with Windows 8?

    You can set up your printer for wireless pretty easily if you have the Full Feature Software installed on your computer for your printer.  The setup is done as part of the installation.
    Read through below, then select how you wish to proceed.  There is a video to assist - see below!
                                                               Install Printer Driver / Software
    If your printer stops working (and it’s not a hardware problem), it may be due to software or driver issues.  There are tools to help you diagnose the problem and help documents to guide you to success. 
    You might just desire extra features for your printer, or need extra tools to help with scheduled maintenance.
     In many cases, you can (re)install the Full Feature Softwarefor your printer to enhance its capabilities.  The HP Solution Center is an integrated part of the FFS.  For e-print, you will want the e-print software.
    If you have the CD that came with your printer, use that to install your Printer software  -- IF the CD is compatible with your current Operating System.  If you do not have the CD, or if the software on the CD is outdated, then you can use the online installation tools.
    (Re)install the basic driver or HP Printer Full Feature Software or other software for your printer:
    Drivers control hardware connected to the computer (wired or wireless)
    Software controls the programs that interact with the User
    Go to the top of the forum page to Support and Drivers
     Officejet Pro 8500 Series
    Enter your Printer Model information, and then go to Software and Drivers...
    Enter your Operating System in the Drop-down menu...  Click NEXT and Scroll down
    Look for category Driver - Product Installation Software
    Select the appropriate Basic Driver, e-print, or Full Feature Software, as appropriate
    NOTE:  You may also wish to download the Print and Scan Doctor and / or other Tools from Category - Utilities
    Save the *.exe installation package(s) on your computer
    Pay attention to the name and the location of the file(s) when you save the file(s).  The file(s) will likely save to the "Downloads “folder.
    You may remove your existing printer software with the following tool.  Fixit is of particular use when the existing printer software is being replaced due to severe problems with the printing program.
    Fixit -- Fix problems with programs that can't be installed or uninstalled
    NOTE:  If you have a recent working version of the Full Feature Software on your computer, you may opt to skip removing the existing printer software in the above separate step.  During installation of your Full Feature Software, when the installer package detects the “old” printer software on your computer, the program will ask you to remove that old software:  The program will then invoke an internal printer software removal program that is written to remove printer software.  Once most of the old printer software is removed, you will be asked to Reboot your computer and log back in.  After you log in, the final bits of the old printer program(s) are deleted and the new software will be installed.  Depending on your system, the whole uninstall and install process might take as much as eight to twelve minutes.
    Remember to Install the programs from Category Utilities first, if applicable, as these are smaller in size.
    Install the downloaded Printer Software package last.
    If you have ‘Admin’ control, you may highlight the package and “double-click” to install it, else Right-Click, Select ‘run as Administrator’ and install.
    NOTES: 
    If using: Download and install the driver software before connecting a USB cable.
    After the initial installation is complete, be sure to check for and install any relevant updates  - check Category  - Update.  The Updates are important and can mean the difference between software that works as expected and software that does not work.
    You may also wish to check for a Category named Firmware.  Installation of any package in this Catagory is personal choice and must be based on the contents in the package and whether or not your printer is working as expected.

  • Adobe Indesign CS4 Crashing When Printing To HP OfficeJet Pro 8500

    Adobe Indesign in crashing when I select print. The only printer I have is the OfficeJet Pro 8500 (A909g) I am running the latest version of OS. (OS 10.10.1) I have uninstalled Indesign and reinstalled it from my disc. There is no update to the version I loaded. (There are newer versions of Indesign and Creative Suite) I reset the printers in system preferences. I have checked Software Update to make sure I have the latest driver. I am running  Indesign on my other computer using OS 10.10.1 so I doubt that is an issue. Other Adobe software prints fine. All other programs that I have print fine as far as I can tell. I have run diagnostic software without success.

    Hi,
    Adobe might be a better resource to check a such, as any other application work as expected as you mention.
    by checking its system requirements, it seems as CS4 is incompatible with Yosemite and that may explain a such:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/system-requirements.html#main_InDesign_CS4_system_requirements
    As I can see only InDesign CC (2014) is compatible with Yosemite.
    I would suggest trying InDesign's support communities below, there are more expertize users for a such:

  • Cyan ink won't print on my officejet pro 8500

    Windows 7 64-bit.  But printer does the same thing from my XP computer.
    I get no error messages from my printer.  Nothing at all has changed - but the blue has just stopped printing.  no upgrades, new programs, etc.  EVerything is the same as it was yesterday.  
    I have followed the troubleshooting document, and run thru the first 2 levels of printhead cleaning.  I have no streaks anywhere, just a missing blue, even the the cartridge is 1/2 full.  One day it printed, and the next day it stopped.  Same paper, etc.
    I have hard reset the printer, I have hard reset it with the cyan cartridge out, then put it in when I get the error msg that its missing, I've restarted my computer (it does the same thing from my other computer though, so its not the computer).  I have read all the HP maintenance instructions and follow them.
    Suggestions???

    What is the model or product number of your printer?  If you have the Officejet Pro 8500 All-In-One A909a, you can take a look at this document, which describes cleaning the printheads.  How long have the ink cartridges been in the printer?  The cartridges should have an expiration date on them.  If they have been in a while, I would replace all of them, then begin troubleshooting. 
    Please let me know if this helps.
    Good luck!

  • Cyan and yellow are not printing on HP officejet pro 8500 all-in-one printer A909

    I have an Officejet Pro All-in-One 8500 A909a printer, using OS X operating system.  Cyan and yellow are not printing. I've ran the Print Quality Diagnostics Page and they do not show up there or on the align page. My ink levels are good. 
    Can you help me find and fix the problem?
    Thanks

    Hi DavidM2,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having issues with the Cyan and the Yellow ink cartridges as well.
    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.
    If you are still having issues then try to replace the cartridges.
    Let me know how you make out and if you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • Printing checks on officejet pro 8500

    I have pre-printed Quicken checks and I can't get them to print from my printer.  I've loaded them in the paper tray and it goes through but nothing prints on them....frustrating.  Actually on one it printed a tiny part of the date at the very top.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I am having the same problem with a Photosmart C7250 and I saw this message as well:
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-printing-questions/B8850-Printing-Problem-on-Canary-print-paper/t...
    I think the problem is with the paper sensors.  I am going to try the label trick suggested.  I think HP needs to do two things:
    1) Design better paper sensors.
    2) provide a way of disabling the bad paper sensors.
    I was just about to go back to my old deskjet 895 for the checks!

  • Retina MacBook Pro Issues Since Updating To Yosemite

    Hey everyone,
    I have the early 2013 15 Inch Retina MacBook Pro (2.4Ghz i7, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) and ever since I updated to Yosemite I have had many issues which are becoming serious problems.
    Problem 1) 9/10 times the laptop will not turn off when shut down is pressed. The Finder disappears, the dock stays put and then does nothing. I have to manually hold the power button to get the laptop to turn off.
    Problem 2) Audio issues. I have an external Audio Interface that I use for recording and playback through my studio monitors. Randomly when I'm watching videos the audio of the video will slow down so the audio sounds lowered in pitch while the video stays the same speed. While I'm listening to music through iTunes there have been occasions where the music has actually sped up at least 10x of it's original speed.
    Problem 3) Connecting to Apple TV's crashes my computer. At college we have Apple TV's that we can connect Macs and iPads to to showcase work and when I connect my MacBook to it, the Macbook crashes and has to be forced rebooted.
    Problem 4) The computer is just generally slower. When browsing files in the finder and using applications such as iMovie the computer is noticeably slower than when before upgraded.
    I have tried contacting Apple support but was told that I had to purchase an incident report for £25. After spending £1800 on a Laptop I'm not paying £25 just to talk to someone. Has anyone had these issues? Any fixes?
    Thanks!

    Well, if your Contacts have disappeared, then under System Preferences, click on iCloud and make sure you are signed into iCloud. If you are not, sign in. If you are, sign out and then back in to see if that restores your contacts.
    I take it you have already restarted your Mac? If not, do that as well.
    Best of luck,

  • Printing on HP Officejet Pro 8500

    I haven't been able to get PS CS4 to print correctly on this printer. It works with InDesign and Illustrator, but in PS the print preview shows the page is 22"x17". An image that fits an 8.5"x11" page is printed at about a quarter size in the top left corner of the page, no matter what parameters I change in Ps or the printer. If I scale the image up so that it would fit a 22"x17" page, I can see that there is some enlargement, but I can only see a portion of it - again a section up in the top left corner.

    Why would this post say "possibly answered" when clearly the problem still exists.  Is this a rating that readers give?
    In any case, the problem is still there and my end around was to re-install CS3 and use Photoshop CS3 as the print tool for Photoshop CS4.  Very very frustrating and I'm wondering how to get some response from Adobe before it's too late to return CS4 for credit.  Although, from what I read, as long as the problem you are having is in the Adobe responsibility, there is no statute of limitations on returns.
    (Same Problem,)  I print a 4x6 image centered on the screen and it prints as a thumbnail in the upper left corner of the page.  HP offers no help for this problem, citing that it's an Adobe issue.  Thanks guys, way to not work together.
    Anyone have a clue?

  • Problem printing wirelessly with OfficeJet Pro 8600 on a Macbook Pro running OS 10.7.4

    I just bought this printer. Setup when perfect, my Mac sees it and when I print, it starts fine, until... it looses contact.
    I re-installed everything twice, and I even got the latest installer from HP's web site.
    ePrint works fine, so I know docs make their way to the printer.
    The router is a Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router, model WRT160Nv2, with firmware v2.0.02
    Please help!!!
    I even make a clip showing the problem.... http://youtu.be/Qlep8ZK8Dv0

    Verify the router is on the latest firmware.  If not, upgrade it.
    For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
    Click on the Wireless tab
    - Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
    - Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
    - Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 1...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
    For Wireless Security : -
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    You should use WPA2-AES and reset your TV and all your other wireless devices as it will ask for a new password/paraphrase.
