How to rollback driver for Office Jet 6500 APlus Printer

I recently updated the driver for my Office Jet 6500 APlus printer and do not find it to be useful or efficient for my purposes. The printer is connected wirelessly to a Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop PC running Windows 7 Home Premium. Can anyone tell me how to roll back the printer's driver to the one previously installed which is the one that came with the printer when it was purchased about 4 or 5 years ago.

Hello oldhand,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some printing issues since you have updated the driver.
I have a few steps that I think will help us.
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.
I am also going to give you detailed instructions for Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once the printers software and drivers have been removed, please click on the following link for the HP Officejet Full Feature Software and Driver.
Please fee free to write me back if you have any other questions.
Cheers,

How do I get an Office Jet 6500A to print on Card stock?

How do I get an Office Jet 6500A to print on card stock. It pushes the card stock through the printer but will not print and tells me I have not selected the right print media. There is no selection for card stock. I have tried every selection. I assume there are other media definitions that can be downloaded but they certainly are not apparent. I have been doing this job on all my other HP printers for years. Suddenly this printer balks.

Hi,
Page #22 of the manual says (must be the same as photo paper ?):
To load cards and photo paper
1. Lift the output tray.
2. Slide the paper width guide out as far as possible.
3. Insert the media print-side down along the right of the main tray. Make sure the media aligns with the right and back edges of the tray and does not exceed the line marking in the tray. If the photo paper has a tab along one edge, make sure the tab is pointing towards the front of the printer.
4. Slide the media guides in the tray to adjust them for the media size that you have loaded.
5. Lower the output tray.
6. Pull out the tray extender.
And the manual is : h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02519721.pdf

somehow my print spooler is gone how do i get another, i have run the install, diagnostic and utility and none fix the problem. I can see the printer in my wireless network but can't print to it

If your PRINT SPOOLER IS "GONE", you may have to contact WINDOWS for this issue. I would like to double check first though.
What operating system are you using? If windows 7 or XP, do the following:
1. Click Start Menu
2. RIGHT-click computer
3. Choose MANAGE
4. Click Services and Applications
5. Choose Services
6. Scroll down until you see PRINTER SPOOLER, if it is there, click on it, and START it
IF you DO NOT SEE IT IN THAT LIST, you will have to contact WINDOWS, because you may have to reformat your operating system, but contact them first.
Let me know if this helps, thanks.

Hi @neeter888   welcome to the HP Forums. I understand you are trying to set your HP printer up to print from your Chromebook.
Using Google Cloud Print with your HP Printer
Getting Started with Google Cloud Print
If you do not have a Windows or Mac computer, you can tell your printer to connect to your router from the front panel as follows:
Connect to the wireless network
    Press the Setup button on the printer control panel.
    Press the Right Arrow button to select Network Settings, and then press the OK button.
    Press the Right Arrow button to select Wireless Setup Wizard, and then press the OK button.
    Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the network setup.
Here are several other ways to connect to your network if you need it:
Installing the Printer Software on a Wireless or Wired (Ethernet) Network
I hope this helps

My HP office jet 6500 printer is stuck on pause. I do not have an admin name or password as it is a wireless printer and I never had to set one up. It keeps asking me for admin name and password...

My HP office jet 6500 printer is stuck on pause. I do not have an admin name or password that it keeps prompting me to give, as it is a wireless printer and that info was not required when we set up the printer. I have checked all diagnostics and connections and they are all good/passed. I am so frustrated!!! This has never happened in the past.

What is asking you for an admin name and password? What does the dialog say, exactly?
What model iMac are you using, and which OS version?
If it is earlier than Lion or Snow Leopard, try deleting the printer and adding it again as explained in this document
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3140
Otherwise you can "reset the printing system" as explained here

HP Office Jet 6500 A Plus

Hello. My HP Office Jet 6500 A Plus, which contains a copier, printer, and scanner all in one, has always worked well for me in the past. I have always been able to make copies, print documents from my computer, as well as scan documents that I place onto its platen glass, in order to then be able to email these documents.
Now, only the copier and printer function work. Thus, I am still able to copy documents which I place onto the platen glass of the HP Office Jet 6500 A Plus, and I am also still able to print out documents from my computer onto the HP Office Jet 6500 A Plus.
However, now, for some reason, just very recently, the scanner is not working.
For example, from the small window on the HP Office Jet 6500 A Plus, I press the command, Scan. At this point, I am prompted, as I have always previously been, to select Memory Device or Computer. I select Computer (as I have always done).
Then, I am given some sort of error message, such as: No Computer detected. You can start a scan from your computer, scan to your computer from the printer. Make sure the HP Printer software is installed. Windows only – Network Connection. In the HP Printer software, enable the “Activate to Scan Computer” function.
Therefore, where do I find this on my computer? I not being completely versatile in navigating around Windows version 8.0 which is the Operating System for my HP computer, how do I get to wherever it is that I need to go in order to apparently set up whatever is necessary in order to get my scanner working again? For example, what directory, or sub-directory, etc., do I go to in order to, apparently, “Activate to Scan Computer” function?
If it is inside, for instance, the Control Panel, how do I get to the Control Panel? Then, once I am in the Control Panel, what is the next step?
Thank you very much.
All the best to you, James

Dear Nimia,
I greatly appreciate you taking the time to respond to me. You being so informative, I can tell that you had the best of intentions within your response to me back on September 26. However, I am apparently not computer proficient enough to be able to know how to go to, as you otherwise nicely stated,
"Find the Hewlitt Packard folder where your applications are. then go to HP Utility, then select your device (printer name)."
Therefore, what I ended up doing was to go to the website, www.hp.com. From here, I selected Support, then, Download Drivers, where it then prompted me for, "Find my product". In that block, I typed in HP Office Jet 6500 A Plus.
Then, after selecting on HP Office Jet 6500 A Plus, I selected my Operating System in order to proceed to download once again the appropriate program so that my computer can be able to talk to my scanner.
Once again, Nimia, thank you very much!
All the best to you,
James

Installed a new black ink printer cartridge in hp office jet 6500 e709n and it is not printing out

installed a new black ink printer cartridge in hp office jet 6500 e709n and it is not printing out anything with Black ink. I ran all the diagnostic tests including cleaning the cartridges, cartridge alignment, shut off the printer unplugged it, restarted, shut down computer retarted. All the other colors work except for the black cartridge. I checked the vent on cartridge and it is they way it should be. How can I print with Black Ink? very upset!!!! Have got to get something printed ASAP

I've got the same with a new black ink cartridge. The display keeps alerting that you have to renew the ink. Tha's oke but the printer does not print black/White.
Do i have to replace the collor ink also at the same time?
Does it mean that if you replace black and not the color that it's NOT possible to print b/w?

Is there a difference between a office jet 6500 and one with an "a" or "plus"

Hello, first post here.
I was given a office jet 6500 without the cd rom set up disc. The unit came with 4 new cartridges. Started trying to get it up and running and first it would not draw paper in. Checked this site and resolved that. (temporaily?) Then saw it was low/out of ink. Installed the new carts. Colors work fine, but no black.
I have no cd rom for this and no manual.
I see you can download the set-up but was perplexed by the mention of 6500a and 6500 plus, Not sure I have those. On the front it says "HP office jet 6500 wireless".
So I assumed that I need to run the jet cleaning function. I started scrolling in it;s menu but was baffled that it said there is no computer hooked up. Do I need that to clean the jets?
I could get by for now with a properly working stand alone copy/printer. But I would not mind at all following up with the wireless set-up to my sony pcv-rx752 pc. We're useing at+t here with a wireless router.
This question was solved.

Hi midandco,
I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
I would also suggest running your Apple updates: OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
After the updates, I would recommend readding the printer with theOS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
Please let me know.
