How can you stop an HP Officejet 6700 Premium printer from doing maintenance

Every time that you click PRINT, the printer then does a maintenance cycle first and so printing one page takes about 5 minutes.
This totally unacceptable and there must be a way to turn this off.
A printer is supposed to print so when will HP produce a printer that prints when its asked to?
If I wanted a maintenance device, I would have bought one!

Hello dogbender,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with the printer going into a Maintenance cycle every time you attempt to print.
I do have a suggestion for you to try.
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 the printer is back on, use the on/off button to do a proper power cycle. This will do a semi power reset on the printer.
Please feel free to write me back at any time if you have any other questions or concerns.
Cheers,

Scan-to-email app with Officejet 6700 Premium printer

how to scan and email
Scan-to-email app with Officejet 6700 Premium printer - attachment does not come through

Hi
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you are unable to use the scan to email feature of your Officejet 6700 printer because you are getting an unable to connect message.
There are several steps I would like you to try please.
Please turn off your printer.
Please turn off your router. If your router doesn’t have an on/off switch, please unplug the power cord from the router.
After waiting a full 60 seconds please turn on your router (or plug it back in).
After the router has completed its startup routine please turn on your printer.
After the printer has completed its startup routine, please test the scan to email feature. If it works there no need to continue with any further trouble shooting steps.
Please set a manual IP address and manual DNS servers for the printer. I have included a link to another post with the steps, including screen shots on how to do this. Don’t worry that the screen shots show a Officejet 8600 printer, the steps are the same.
Please test the scan to email feature. If it works there is no need to continue with any further trouble shooting steps.
Please call HP’s Cloud Services at 1-855-785-2777 if you live in the USA/Canada region. If you live outside the USA/Canada region please click here to find the Technical Support number for your country/region.
Thank you.

How can you stop iTunes splitting up a cd in the music library

How can you stop iTunes splitting up a cd in the music library

Try highlighting the tracks in iTunes, right-clicking and Getting Info, then marking them as Part of a compilation.
If that doesn't take care of it, read Apple's document (where the pic came from) -> Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?
WTH.

Is it possible for your iphone to be hacked so that someone can text message people in your contacts (and send pictures)? If so can you trace the hack and how can you stop it?

Is it possible for your iphone to be hacked?so that someone can text message people in your contacts (and send pictures)? If so can you trace the hack and how can you stop it?

As has been said, the iPhone itself can't be hacked this way, as far as anyone currently knows.
Your Apple ID is another story. Any kind of online accounts can be hacked, and Apple IDs are no exception. If someone hacks your Apple ID, they could see all the data in the associated iCloud account, such as contacts, and could send those contacts texts that would appear to come from you. If that were to happen, you should see an alert on your other devices that your Apple ID is being used with Messages on a new device.
If you have not seen that alert, it's unlikely that this problem is occurring due to such a hack. In that case, it would be more likely that either someone has gotten their hands on your phone, or some other Apple device registered to your Apple ID, and has used it to send that message. Or that the person claiming you sent a picture is lying for some reason.
If you believe your Apple ID may have been hacked, you should change your password immediately (at appleid.apple.com). You should also seriously consider enabling two-factor authentication on your Apple ID.

How can you stop Apple from forcing an update of PAGES?

Every time I turn around I'm getting this notification on my screen to update PAGES to the downscaled version 5. It annoyingly won't leave the screen even though anyone with good sense that has seen the reviews, knows you don't want version 5.
How do you stop the perpetual notifications that demand we permit Apple shove this version 5 down our throats?
I do not want version 5.
I do not want to lose the vertical ruler
I do not want to lose the inspector block
I do not want to downscale my word-processing to fit on a phone (this is a business not a playground)
I do not want to lose the variable line spacing capabilities of the better version 4
and the list goes on....
How do you stop the perpetual annoyance of it wanting updates?

System Preferences > App Store > uncheck Automatically check for updates. You may have to reboot for these changes to take effect.
If you update to IOS 7 on an iDevice, Pages for IOS will update to v2.2.1 — which is the OS X Pages v5 document architecture. Same drill for Pages for iCloud beta. Both of these would require sharing MS Word documents with your OS X Pages ’09 solution for document compatibility.

How do I re-enable built-in networking on Officejet 6700 premium printer?

I inadvertently, and stupidly, turned OFF the built-in networking from within my Officejet 6700 premium AiO web-based administrator console. Now I cannot manually reset it from the controls on the printer itself. I get a message informing "Built-in network capabilities have been disabled. Contact your network administrator or the person who set up the printer." Well, that person is me. I cannot find instructions telling how to re-enable the built-in network capabilities.
My OS is WIN7. The printer was working OK before I messed with it.
Can anyone offer advice regarding this problem?
Thank you.
This question was solved.

Distinquished (and snarky) Professor.
Thank you for your attempt to assist, but your response was not only condescending - "Did you read the manual??? I downloaded it and read it. Turn the wireless radio on and off" - but totally not helpful. The intro to your reply makes you sound to be an arrogant high school teen who thinks she has every answer unknown to adults.
Some of us are not technilliterate. I certainly DID read the manual and attempted every option I thought might work. The problem, if you read my problem post, was that I inadvertently clicked OFF the Connectivity Built-in Network capabilities from within the EWS. That made it impossible for my printer to connect to the network via cable or wireless. When I attempted to find a solution at the printer control display itself, by going Setup > Network > Restore Network Defaults, but, instead of the "Restore Network Defaults, it presented the message I posted informing that Built-in network capabilities were disabled, which is what I already knew and wanted to resolve. I needed to find a way to reset to Out-of-the-Box settings. Nothing in the manual provided, nor could I find online, this answer.
Fortunately, my printer was still under warranty (HP apparently wont chat if you aren't under warranty, unless you pay them for the service). I was able to chat with an HP Rep who Identified herself (maybe himself ... Who knows?) as "Jasmine". Jasmine was very helpful. But, although I had specifically identified to her the problem is that I lost network connectivity due to carelessly turning off built-in network capabilities of the printer from within its EWS, Jasmine still had to spend time running through her HP requied first-line Help Representative script. She spent about fifteen minutes remote assisting and checking out every possible "other option" before she concluded with these precious words, "The problem is that your printer has lost network connectivity. I am going to give you some instructions to follow so we can reset the printer to Semi-full restore." I received her instructions and followed them precisely. Very easy. When I asked her why these instructions are not published by HP somewhere for customers to access, she informed that they are "secret Advanced instructions" (I think she was being a little silly). ...
Following, for you Distinquished Professor (so you don't need to be snarky with others) and for all other fellow technophiles out there, is Jasmines "secret Advanced instructions" as she wrote the on the chat. I have provided some interpretation at the end. Do note, if you (not specifically you Distinguished Professor, but every other "you" out there) don't have some good idea of what you are doing, getting off the path by which these instructions lead can get you into more difficulty with your printer than that by which you began the journey.
Jasmine: Please follow the below steps:
1. Touch this curve icon 4 times though it is not highlighted
2. When you do it, you can see Support menu on the printer LCD screen.
3. Once you see the Support Menu on the printer touch OK use the right arrow key next to the printer LCD screen to see Reset Menu.
4. Now, touch OK then use the right arrow key next to the printer lcd screen to see Semi Full.
5. Touch on Semi-Full option.
6. The printer will turn OFF
7. Power it back ON. It will initialize itself.
8. Please follow the onscreen steps.
Helpful interpretations:
Regarding #1. The “curve icon” is the left curving return icon located at the left side of the printer’s control panel touch sensitive display window, but outside the display window. It is lit when the menu can be returned back a page, but unlit when at Home screen. This is actually a hardware button, not touch sensitive, so pressing it, even when not lit, creates and action signal. When the display is at the Home state, the return button is unlit, but pressing it four times will generate a menu option for Support Menu on the display.
Regarding #3. The "right arrow" is the forward page button located to the right outside the display screen. Like the return button, it also is unlit unless it can perform an action related to what appears on the display. Press the forward page arrow until the displayed menu option changes to Reset Menu. Select this option to perform step #4.
Successfully following Jasmine's instructions will restore the HP Officejet 6700 Premium AiO to its out-of-the-box-new settings. Note that Jasmine specified "Semi-Full" restore, not "Full" restore. A full restore will take the printer back to it basic out-of-the-factory state. This state will require significantly more settings and configurations work afterward than with which most of us would like to deal. Out-of-the-box state will cycle through everything as it did when you first pulled the printer out of the box new and set it up yourself. Do note, any custom settings will be lost. Passwords, however, are retained in a Semi-Full restore.
Hope this information helps everyone else who may be having similar difficulties or just need to know how to restore your printer back to Out-of-the-box-new state.

How can I stop the last character of my password from being displayed?

Sorry, I'm sure this would have been asked before, but I couldn't locate it..
When unlocking my iPad, how can I stop it from displaying the last character of my password to everyone in the vicinity? This has got to be the fastest way to find out someone's password (just look at the screen as they type their 'secure' password!?). Having the iPad display your password letter by letter is really not acceptable when working in a non-secure environment.
Is there a setting somewhere, or will this be addressed in a new iOS, or just ignored as a 'that's the way it is'?
Thanks in advance,
Andy

Hi,
This may have been the way it has been on iOS since 2008 (not sure about that though), however I know (based on working in the IT industry for 20 years) that nobody on this planet can successfully argue that it would be 'acceptable security practice', for me to display 'every last letter' as I type of a secure 'root' password on my screen every day when you log in... Nobody would think it acceptable to display even their LAN/Domain password on the screen in this same manner. So why is iOS different?!
iOS on a phone (it used to be argued) doesn't need to be very secure as it is almost entirely phone numbers and email addresses that are being stored. However in recent years when the applications got better, and tablets came out, security became a much bigger issue as more and more people started using the functions of 'smart' phones to store more 'sensitive' data.
Kind regards,
Andy
Are you suggesting that someone looking over your shoulder can't see the keys that you're tapping with your fingers? In the interest of security, i would never, under any circumstances, enter a password when others are around.

Hp officejet 6700 premium printer-printer failure

I bought a HP officejet 6700 premium a month ago. I installed the printer and it printed ok. But after a few day of use, it suddenly stopped printing and gave a Printer Failure massage on the front control panel. The message says: There is a problem with the printer or ink system. Turn printer off then on. If problem persists, contact HP. I have checked all ink cartridges. They seem all ok (I have only print less than 10 pages since installed). I have turned power off and on several times but did'nt work. I have searched all over the HP website for help, but still can't find a solution for my printer problem. I deeply appreciate, if someone can help me or give me directions to make my new printer works again. Thanks.
P.S. my laptop computer has Winders 7.

Did you get an answer? I think the problem lies with the blue print head with the gold pins, they get bent when you change out printer cartridges. Several folks have had this problem. I watched a youtube video of repairman saying both the 6600 and 6700 printer had this problem until HP changed the print heads. I am still fussing with HP about this but I am pretty certain I won't get any relief. Good luck

HP Officejet 6700 Premium - print on flash cards - 3x5?

I have a Officejet 6700 Premium, it said media sizes supports 3x5 index cards. I am not sure what media sizes support is and if anyone can help me. Can this printer print on 3x5 index cards? If so and how?

Hi @radicalrebel
Yes, you can print on 3x5 index cards.
Source: Printer Specifications for the HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One and 6700 Premium e-All-in-One Printer ...
You also asked, '"If so and how?". You will need to adjust the print settings within the print dialog box, in the program you are printing from. if you require further assistance, please let me know what operating system, and version do you have? Mac or Windows, and what program you are printing from.
