HP Office Jet 6000 wont print

Hi, hopefully some one can help. I have an HP office Jet 6000 which is hardwired by cable to my laptop. A problem has occured where the printer wont print any documents. Laptop is running Windows 7 32 Bit
I have tried the following;
1: Replaced the cable
2: Purged all documents in the printer memory
3: Printed a test page and status report successfully from the printer .
4: All ink cartridges are full
5: Switched printer off for 10 seconds and switched on again
6: Tried to restart the print spooler, but this is greyed out

Part of the problem may be that there is no HP Apple driver for this machine. If you are running Windows in a window with VirtualBox or Fusion or Parallels, then you should be able to print directly from the PC. Obviously the same exists if you use Bootstrap to boot windows. But nothing will happen since there is no apple driver for this printer, and HP has none except for Windows and Linux.
I had the same problem with my venerable HP 5550. HP scuttled the driver for it in Snow Leopard. I used Gutenprint. You might check to see if there is a Gutenprint document for this printer. Actually the Gutenprint is a better driver than the one HP made for Leopard 10.5

HP Office Jet 6000 E609n Printer, Cannot reset network settings.

Hello,
I was setting up a static IP address for the HP Office Jet 6000, upon attempting to set it up. I forgot to set the default gateway to match the IP address. Now that it is set that way I cannot access the GUI for the printer. I have tried doing the reset by holding down the wireless button and pressing resume three times. I have literally unplugged it from the back and from the wall and that did not resolve the issue. Also, unplugged it and waited 30 more seconds plugged it back in and did the button reset a swell. Noone of these resolved anything I am stuck and cannot even access the controls to change the router. Help will be very much appreciated.

You may try and do the network defaults and the factory defaults on the printer and that should reset the ip address for you. I'll try and see if i can get the combination for you for this printer. Let me know if this works or if you are still not able to get into your settings.
If I helped you at all it would be great if you clicked the blue kudos star!

Office jet 6000 wireless printer ink usage and no support

I would like to know if anyone else has this problem with their printer.
I print in 98% of my work in black ink. My settings are on fast draft, black ink only, yet my colored ink is running out, fast. How could this be? I have the XL cartridges (700 pages, so the box says) and they look to be the exact same size as the regular (300 pages). I just replaced the 3 colored ink cartridges a couple of months ago, printed no more than 20 pages with a little color (mainly blue and gray), then all of a sudden, my printer say's I'm out of all the colored ink and it wont print at all. I can take the cartridges, run some paper under the ink holes and get ink all over it. And when i call hp, they tell me that it uses the colored ink even though I'm printing in black. How? They tell me to buy another cartridge and keep track of how much in color i print. Hellooooo.. I've told them how much I'm printing in color. They also tell me that i need to pay for tech help because my printer is no longer in warranty. (18 months old). I've called about this twice and they give me the same answer. Printing in black still uses colored ink.
the last person i talked to, last night, said it may even be a problem with the mechanic part of the printer, which is covered. Well, if its covered then why cant i get another answer besides "buy more ink".
does anyone else have this issue? What do you do to solve it?
Consumer Reports listed this printer as one of the best, and the ink cartridges gave you the best bang for you buck. Yeah, ok...
You would think that if they know they have this issue, they would do more to help their customers out.

From http://www.hp.com/pageyield/articles/us/en/InkUseage.html
Some color ink may be used when printing black text-or-graphics. There are several circumstances when color ink may be used—primarily to improve print quality, and sometimes to improve printer reliability—even if the document appears to be only black text-and-graphics. Many HP printers utilize chemical interactions to improve the quality and permanence of plain paper black text-and-graphics by adding small amounts of color ink to certain black areas.

Hp office jet 6000 connection problems sharing over network. spooler service error.

HP Office Jet 6000 wireless
Windows 7 Professional 32 bit
error message: Windows cannont connect to the local print spooler, service is not running.
Attempting to share the printer among computers on our network. Printer is connected to its home computer via USB.
All 3 computers are running the same OS.
We are using a wired network.
The printer shows up as available to share, but when attempting to add the printer to another computer on the network the spooler service error pops up. The computer that I have tried to add the printer to now will not print at all to any other printers on our network or to a printer connected directly to it via USB, and I cannot remove the new shared printer.
The printer prints without any issues on the PC it is connected directly to via USB.
Thank you for any suggestions.

Further information,
I checked the spooler service on the computer that the printer is connected to via usb and it is set to automatic and is running.

Dissatisfied with HP Office jet 6700 Premium Printer

I've had a HP Office Jet 6700 Premium Printer for 18 months and have encountered a failed printer head issue which essentially requires full replacement of the printer. I've seen many other similar reports by others which clearly indicates this printer has a serious problem with the printer heads. I'm getting ready to replace this printer, which is just 6 months out of warranty, and will seek another vendor to provide printing equipment. Very disappointed in HP's printer product and will gladly provide input to help others avoid running into this problem.

Please read this post then provide some details. What operating system? What are the error messages on the printer or computer screen?

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
Regards.

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.

I just installed a new hp 8500 office jet. i can print from adobe, explorer, one note but not from a mozilla page.does anyone know how to fix this ? my 8500 worked just fine with mozilla

My printer is an HP 8600 OFFICE JET. I cannot print anything when using mozilla. when i'm using explorer and i go to yahoo or yahoo finance or any other website print my stock portfolios, email, etc. but i can't do that when i'm in mozilla.
I didn't have that problem with my HP OFFICE JET 8500.
HP support hasn't been able to resolve the issue.

Does that printer appear in the "Printer -> Name" drop-down and can you select it?

Setting up e-printing on HO Office jet 7500 series printer

how do i set up e-printing on my HP Office jet 7500 E901a

Hi samuelesse,
You can follow these steps to set up ePrint on your 7500.
1. Press the right arrow on the printer’s front panel, then press the “Setup” button.
2. Press “Web Services Setup”, and the process will begin automatically if Web Services has not been previously configured (if Web Services has been configured previously, it will show “Printer Email Address”, “ePrint On/Off”, etc.)
3. Press “Continue”, then “Yes” to accept the Web Services Terms and Conditions. After a short configuration period, an “HP ePrint mobile printing” page should print. This page contains a unique printer code, which we will need in the next step.
4. Go to http://www.eprintcenter.com.
5. Click “Sign In”. If you have already set up an account, enter your ePrintCenter account information to sign in. If you have not already set up an account, click “Sign Up” and create a new account.
6. Click “Add Printer” (the big blue button to the right of the printer picture), and when the “Add a Printer to your Account” box appears, enter the printer code found on the “HP ePrint mobile printing” page. Click “OK”, and then click “Next”.
7. Enter a custom email address for the printer, and click "Save" to confirm the settings.
Once you've done these steps, you'll be ready to go. All you need to do to use ePrint is send an email to the address you set up for the printer.
Let me know if you have any other questions, or if you have any problems during this setup.

Office Jet 8000 -- Duplex Printing -- back side upside down

When printing a booklet on my Office Jet 8000 A809, using duplex printing, the back side of each page is upside down. Operating System is Windows Vista. I'm sure there is a simple solution, but I can't find it. HELP.

Choose the type of duplex - you probably have Short-edge binding enabled. Change it to Long-edge binding.

Desk jet f4280 wont print black

printer wont print black ink. prints color ink fine. infact, if i have an office doc i just change the text color 2 dark blue, and it is just fine. color ink indicator is all 4 lights bright green. black ink indicator is all 4 lights-light green. (tried a used-up black, and it does not display green lights, -shows a bright orange light instead.) really need the black ink to work, though, because i cant change the color of something i found on the web.
-i did already submit this question this morning, but i put it under the wrong topic, sorry.

Hi @ChrissyStar,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Deskjet 1000 will not print using the black ink cartridge, but will with only the color cartridge.
Please take a look through this print quality guide, Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP Deskjet 1000, 2000, 3000....
Thank you for posting, and have a good day!

Office Jet 4500 G510n Printer Ready but error comes up in status

I have a Office Jet 4500 G510n and a MacBook Pro 15 late 2006 Model 2, Ver 10.6.8
I upgraded the HD to a SSD and everything works find except the printer. I can go to Utility and the TEST PAGE prints OK.
However, on STATUS it reads: "error/library/Printers/hp/cups/inkjet1.driver/contents/macos/injet/failed
I have checked on drivers and all I saw were for the "extra Page" ...
Lost!!!!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

From research on this HP Support site, I found that in Mac OSX they auto download updates for printing. Did not think about transfering my old HD to a SSD that those updates would follow... they did not. So... I downloaded all the updates (driver)to my new SSD and the HP Printer works!
