How do I load an envelope in my printer (HP Officejet Pro 8500A)

How do I load an envelope in an HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus printer?

Hi,
Page #35 of the manual says:
Cards and envelopes
• Avoid envelopes that have a very slick finish, self-stick adhesives, clasps, or windows. Also avoid cards and envelopes with thick, irregular, or curled edges, or areas that are wrinkled, torn, or otherwise damaged.
• Use tightly constructed envelopes, and make sure the folds are sharply creased.
• Load envelopes with the flaps facing up and to the right or the back of the tray (tray 1 or tray 2 in some models)
You can download the manual (should be on the CD too) from the following link

  • How to override cartridge empty message and continue printing on Officejet Pro 8600

    Hi,
    I'm setting up a new OfficeJet Pro 8600 printer for my parents.  On my HP color laser printer I am able to override the setting where the printer stops printing because it hit a date or page quantity.  My parents don't print complex, color documents often, so I want to override this setting on the OfficeJet Pro 8600.  I can't find any documentation on how to do this on this particular model.  Is there a series of steps via the touch panel on the printer?  I tried the web interface but didn't find the setting to continue, and I don't know if I also have to set the override on the printer itself.  Thank you in advance, I want to make sure my senior citizen parents get the most out of their ink cartridge investment.
    They are on Windows 7, if that matters..
    Thank you in advance for any and all help!

    Hey skymom,
    On this model there is not a way to override an empty cartridge message other than replacing the empty catridge. Do tests still show that there is a usable amount of ink?
    Any additional info would be great. Thanks!

  • How do I get my iPad to find my hp officejet pro 8500a?

    I just bought an hp printer 8500A Pro, I've set it up via wireless network, it accepted a wireless signal from a wireless pc?

    Hey bluescity152!
    As long as your router supports bonjour/multicasting, you should be able to print right to the 8500A. You may have to check for product updates on your printer by going to Setup-> Web Services Setup-> Product updates-> Check for updates. Otherwise, it may be an issue with your router (may not support the protocol.) If you're still having problems, let me know what kind of router you are using and i will try to help you out!
    Hope this helps!

  • How to print on envelopes C6/C5 with HP OfficeJet Pro 8600

    With my printer HP Officejet Pro 8600 I want to print on envelopes C6/C5 (229 mm x 114mm or 9.0 inches x 4.5 inches).
    The Officejet Pro 8600 support C5-envelopes and C6-envelopes but I could not find a comparable format C6/C5. Is it possible to make your own envelopes format and print on HP Officejet Pro 8600?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Grepolis,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you would like to be able to print on  C6/C5 envelopes.
    I will be happy to help you.
    You could install the Deskjet 9800 as a generic driver which you would have different features available to you.
    Making custom size prints.
    Depending what operating system you are using. Here are the steps for Windows 7.
    On the computer, go to start, devices and printers, select add printer.
    Follow the steps, select HP and Deskjet 9800 from the list.
    Set this one as the default printer.
    Try creating a custom size envelope now with the generic driver.
    Please let me know if you are not using Windows 7 and you need different steps.

  • How do I print standard 6 3/4" standard size envelopes from an hp 8600 officejet pro printer?

    How do I print 6 3/4" standard size envelopes from an hp 8600 officejet pro printer. This printer has this size on the tray and has this size listed in the printer set up on the printer, but the drop down boxes from my computer to set up the printer do not have this standard size listed. I keep getting messages on my printer that it is not set for the right size. I have a list of supported envelopes and their numbers for this printer but which one of these other numbers is the same as the 6 3/4" standard size envelope. I have an operating system of windows 7 with an older version of publisher. Everything else prints ok from publisher & the printer, just not the standard size envelopes of 6 3/4".
    Please help!

    Hi indy-girl,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are trying to print 6 3/4" envelopes from your HP Officejet Pro 8600, but keep getting an error 'printer that it is not set for the right size'. After taking a look at the Supported envelopes sizes, the 6 3/4 is not supported. See below:
    I was able to take a look at the 8600, the only thing I am seeing listed on the paper tray is Legal/Letter, and the 4x6". I am not seeing the 6 3/4 size.
    I hope this helps!

  • How do I load on Office:Mac onto my new MacBook Pro when it doesn't have a disk drive?

    How do I load on Office: Mac onto my new MacBook Pro when it doesn't have a disk drive - I don't want to have to purchase another copy.

    Glad you were able to solve your problem. For the benefit of others who may find this discussion later, allow me to suggest another possibility.
    If you have access to another Mac running Lion or Mountain Lion with an optical drive, you should be able to use the Remote Disc feature to access the optical drive on that other Mac.

  • How do I feed an envelope into the printer?

    Hello,
    I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500a Plus. I'm having a heck of a time trying to understand how to feed an envelope into the printer so that it comes out nice and even. 
    I am putting the envlope into the tray (on top of the paper that's already there) face side down, and when the printer "grabs" the envelope, it brings it in crooked. I don't have this issue with regular paper, but since the printer is only able to grab it from a certain location, it will always pull it in crooked---thus, the printing on the envelope will be crooked as well. 
    I tried lining up the envelope along both the right and left sides of the tray, but the printer will not accept envelopes this way--it instantly jams. So I end up placing the envelope right smack in the middle, and I hold it there with my hand to sort of "guide" it in as the printer grabs it. But no matter how steady I am in holding it, the grabber is always going to make the envelope go crooked. 
    There's got to be a better way to do this. What am I missing? 
    (I'm using an Apple iMac and MacBook Pro, and I'm using a template on Pages. I also have Word, and I can use a Word template--but the result is the same). 
    Thanks!

  • How do I print panoramic photos on an HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus printer?

    How do I print panoramic photos on an HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus printer?

    Thank you for this link! Actually I installed a brand new Windows 8 system in January 2014 and then bought the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer a few days later. To install this printer I did not use the CD that came with it but already used this link. Just to be sure that I have the latest version I again reinstalled the driver. The result is definitive: You cannot print common photo paper sizes like 4x6,  5x7, 8x10, etc. via a PC using photo SW like HP Photo Creations, MS Gallery, Windows Photo Viewer or any other SW on a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. The reason is most likely that HP marketing decided that an Officejet should not be smart enough for photos, after all the company sells also Photosmarts. Because you cannot create your own formats  you are limited by the driver to what is typically available in an office, in this case:  A4, Letter, legal, Statement, Executive, A4, A5, A6, B54 (JIS), Envelopes #10-DL-C5-C6-A2-Monarch, Japanese Postcard, Japanese Envelope Chou #3-#4, L, 2L, O**bleep**u hagaki, Index Card Letter-A4, Edge-to-Edge Letter-A4, Env. Japanese No 3-No 4 and that's it, not more. Thank you anyway for trying to help me but in this case only the SW developers in HP can help.It would be great to be able to print from time to time a 4x6 photo on this printer like I would do.Copying photos on a USB stick or on a SD card first and then use this way to print on the printer is too cumbersome for me.

  • Auto switch from tray 1 for envelopes to tray 2 for letters on HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium

     Hi I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium e-All-in-One Printer - A910n My Operating System is XP Media Center.  I haven't been able to get it to switch from one tray to the other automatically. Also  it only remembers 1 type of paper at a time. I can't get it to show in Properties, Paper  available, more than one type of paper. I open device settings, Form To Tray Assignment, Printer Auto Select :Letter.     Tray 1 : Letter   Tray 2 : Letter.   Now I change Tray 1 : to Envelope #10  click apply, click ok, it closes out. I open the Properties back up & Tray 1 : is back to letter.  Is there a way to get the printer to remember the it is set up with 2 Trays with 2 different types of paper ? I think the problem lies with the Printer Auto Select : But I am not sure. I would like to be able to print an address on an envelope when working in works. Without having  to manually change the Tray settings. Does any one Know How to set this up ? Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this issue.

    Hi MrHope,
    Make sure that the printer is set to have tray 2 as the default tray, and then try setting the paper types for each tray in the printer settings.

    I have two printers on my network.  Does anyone know how to change the printer nomenclature - Officejet Pro 8600  (0B54AF) to a recognizable name...like Brad's Office when you use Airprint?

    You would have to change that in the printer's settings on the printer, if that option is offered by the manufacturer. The iPhone just finds printers on the network and uses the name they have given themselves or that were given to them when they were set up.

  • How do I tak out the ink cartridge on HP Officejet Pro 8600?

    Need to remove my ink cartridge to buy a set backup.  How do you remove the old cartridge?

    The HP Office Pro 8600 series consists of 3 model variations. I have the Plus version. All functions similiar.
    With the power 'ON', grip the side of the front panel (left handed) just below the HP logo. The entire panel will swing down. The ink cartridge bay will move from the right to the left. Push on the cartridge, and it will pop-out.
    Manual, see pg 13 and 92.    WARNING per HP:    Never turn off the printer when ink cartridges are missing.
