HP 8500 A Plus only prints half of first page from my mac

When I print wireless from my mac it only prints half of the first page (regardless of how many pages the document is) then stops.  This only happes with my computer.  If I make a copy or print from my phone everything works fine.  I've had this printer for about 2 years and this is a new issue that didn't used to happen.  I do not get any error messages when this happens.
Any ideas?

There is no full feature software and driver for your printer that is compatible with Yosemite @1Adam12 , so we know the issue is not the software. Let's try the following steps in order to resolve this;
Reset Printing System
Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click System Preferences.
In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan  dialog box opens.
Right-click (or  Ctrl  +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Repair Disk Permissions
On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
Once the repair is complete, restart the computer and download and install the HP Printer Drivers for OS X.
Now when you add the printer, you should have the HP driver to choose,
Select Add other Printer or Scanner  
Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can the printer driver 
 Please let me know if you can print a complete job now.

    Check the printer itself.  Some printers you need to set the color & B&W settings on the printer itself instead of the Mac.   If that is not the case w/your printer, contact HP tech support and/or post in their forums if they have one.

  • HO D110 series printer will only print half of page get error

    Ever since I got a new lap top that has Windows 8 my printer will only print half of the page and then stops. I get an error message. I have used the online Wizard and downloaded the new driver but it still won't work. Also can't print wirelessly still from other devices.

    Hello mrshayes,
    I saw that you have a new laptop with Windows 8 and now the printer is printing half a page and will not print any more. I understand you also cannot print from other devices. I have some suggestions for you.
    First, try to make a standalone copy from the printer itself. If the copy is successful, the printer tests out okay. If the copy fails, try resetting your printer and ensuring it is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars, surge protectors, etc.
    Here is a link on how to reset the printer: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03177455
    If the copy works fine, see if there is a Firmware Update needed: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c02919168
    Also, run the Print and Scan Dr. to detect any issues. This tool might fix the problem.

  • Printer only prints half the words, HP6200

    Printer only prints half the text.  In other words,  the text is shown only half the size.

    No one could possibly help you with that little detail.
    How about - what printer, what operating system, how is it connected.....

  • HP 3210 printer prints blank pages and only half the first page

    When I updated to Firefox 4.0.1 my HP 3210 printer now prints blank pages before and after the correct page and then only prints half of it. It prints with no problem as before in Internet Explorer but I cannot keep going back to WExplorer just to print.

    You have not said but it sounds like you are using a Macbook pro with retina display.
    Pages is exhibiting all sorts of problems with the Retina display which Apple is supposedly working on.

  • 7150 HP only prints half page vertically

    As title indicates, we have a HP 7150 that is currently only printing half a page (vertically), ignoring all text on the right side.  It is connected via a USB (with no problems with the USB from other products).  Operating system is Vista, updated to the latest patch.  I've tried turning it off and then on, tried different Word documents, all have the same issue even from different computers.  Ran the microsoft program to fix issues and that failed to help.  No error messages on either the printer or computer. 
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance. 

    Hi CelticKate,
    I understand that your HP Envy 120 is only printing on the left side of the page. I would like to show you how to print off a Print Quality Report directly from the front panel of the printer. This will rule out an issue with the software on the computer that you're trying to print from. Please click on the link below and scroll down until you see "Solution six: Print and evaluate a Print Quality Diagnostic report and troubleshoot any defects"

    Sometimes the wireless MagicMouse can be erratic and seem to automatically zoom in, etc.  Try going to System Preferences and detuning the sensitivity settings, see if that helps.

  • Photosmart c4780 is only printing half way when I print on 4x6 photo paper.

    I've having problems on my HP Photosmart C4780. When I load a 4x6 inch photo paper it pulls the paper in, starts printing, pushed the paper out, but has only printed half of my photo. 
    It looks as if it starts printing before it reaches the paper becasue the back has ink lines on it and when comparing it with what prints, to what should print, the photo looks like it starts printing at the middle and is right up against the leading edge of the photo paper.
    There are no error messages at all.

  • OfficeJet 8500A. Single print job prints half on two pages.

    I have an OfficeJet 8500A Premium for about a year now. All was working well, until recently.
    I'm using Firmware Version: LRP1FN1126AR
    Now, when I send a print job that's supposed to be on a single page, it prints half on two pages. This, of course, wastes my ink, paper, time, energy, and sanity. I've searched around and can't find a resolution to this problem.
    I posted a picture of the problem I'm experiencing, personal info areas blurred out. The only way to fix this, which is a temporary fix, is to turn the printer on and off. That seems to correct the problem, but only for a short while, since it will eventually start printing single print jobs split on two pages.
    Please help. Thanks.

    It sounds like the driver for the printer and the driver for the IE9 are having a conflict. I would advise trying to open the same page in a different web browser to see if the problem follows multiple browsers, or only IE9.
    Also, I would try reverting back to IE8 as a possible workaround. If none of these are able to get the printouts desired, then I would look at Shane_R's thread on using an alternate driver located here.
    Hope this helps.

  • When I am merging a Pages document, the header and graphic is only printing on every other page?

    I have make a Merge file from Pages.  When I go to print this, the Header and Graphic is only printing on every other page.  Can anyone advise?

    That is very hard to follow.
    We have no idea what you are merging, nor what header or graphic you are referring to as we can not see the document.
    My guess is that you are talking about something like a letterhead which has a logo and address only on the first page and none on the following pages.
    Each merge is probably running over the 1st page and onto a following blank page. If you want the "Header and Graphic" to appear on subsequent pages as well then you will need to create master pages/objects for the following pages to suit.
    This is how you go about doing it for a standard letterhead and follower:
    http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewtopic.php?t=182&highlight=letter head&mforum=iworktipsntrick
    Just add the graphics to the follower pages as well.

  • PRINTING: Keynote will only print to a certain page # then stops

    Just to get this out of the way: iWork '08/Keynote 4.0, Mac OS 10.4.10 and everything has been updated. I also looked for other strings relating but could not find any.
    I have a few reports created in Keynote that will only print to a certain page. Each report prints the same page every time, but the page # differs for each report. For instance, one report will print to page 32 out of 64, another to 42 out of 70, etc...
    Further, if I select the pages that were missing, they will not print at all.
    I have tried different printers, networks and printers. Other programs (Word/Excel) will print in total.
    Has anyone heard of this problem/have any advice?
    Much thanks,
    Matt
