HP officejet 6500 A plus: Turns off - has to be powered back on to print.

Hi,
I have a HP office jet 6500 A plus with a Vista PC.  The printer is hardwired to the computer.  It will print, the problem is that the printer seems to power down on it's own and will not accept print jobs without first being turned off and then on again.  
Is this some sort of powersaving mode?  If so, how do I disable it?  
Please advise.
Thank you
Ryan  

A bit more information as I've been trying to debug this.
I've found that the problem occurs when I leave the house with the Touch for a significant amount of time (at least a half-hour) and then return. I was able to get a log of the problem today. What I noticed is that after a while, the AE was reporting very short inactivity timeout deauthentications with both my MacBook and the Touch.
Some entries from the log:
Aug 07 12:53:26 Severity:5 Associated with station 00:17:f2:48:1d:13
Aug 07 13:03:17 Severity:5 Disassociated with station 00:17:f2:48:1d:13 (leaving service set).
** before leaving home, opened the MacBook and then closed it when done
Aug 07 13:40:26 Severity:5 Deauthenticated with station 60:fb:42:38:ba:fc (inactivity).
** left the house earlier with the Touch
Aug 07 15:55:55 Severity:5 Associated with station 60:fb:42:38:ba:fc
Aug 07 16:12:28 Severity:5 Deauthenticated with station 60:fb:42:38:ba:fc (inactivity).
** back home. deauth in less than 20 min; usually more than an hour if the Touch is inactive
Aug 07 18:18:46 Severity:5 Deauthenticated with station 60:fb:42:38:ba:fc (received invalid class-2 frame).
Aug 07 18:34:08 Severity:5 Associated with station 60:fb:42:38:ba:fc

Aug 07 18:51:01 Severity:5 Deauthenticated with station 00:17:f2:48:1d:13 (inactivity).
** opened MacBook; could see network, but couldn't get any DNS resolutions
And there were similar entries, some showing very short inactivity timeouts, until I finally reset the AE.

    my phone just turned off and will not go back on. my top lock button has been broken for over a year. Help! I have tried plugging it into wall unit and computer but my home button just doesnt do anything!

    It seems that year long delay from having your lock button repaired has finally caught up to you.  Sounds like you have some damage to your phone that requires repair/replacement.  Take it to a Apple store or contact Apple Tech Support.

    If the battery was empty (and it may then take 10 to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

    Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

    You didn't say which model of iPod Nano that you have, but generally there should be a lock setting, that can be turned on or off, to prevent accidental changes in settings. And, there is also a setting to turn on or off a feature called, "Shake to Shuffle." It allows you to change songs by just shaking the iPod.

  • Help with Pre Plus turning off and not restarting

    I've had my Pre Plus since 2010 without issues until I went to Arizona in April.  It turned off by itself and it's never been the same since.  I think I've got the cause narrowed down to either overheating and/or prolonged phone/web use.  It's warmer now in Portland and the phone turns off more frequently.  It's happened every day since April. 
    The frustrating part is that it won't restart until it cools off.  So, if I'm at home, I put it in the freezer to get it restarted faster.
    Sometimes, I get the palm/rom message but going through that process hasn't helped. 
    Also, this happens with the original battery and the extended battery. 
    Does anyone have a fix or recommendation for this?  Thanks!

    Two things to try; most likely you phone actually has an issue and you need to set up at appointment at your nearest apple store ot have it fixed (apple.com/retail) pick whatever store is closest.
    However; windows computers often "attack" ipods or iphones thinking they are a virus. You may want to turn off your virus protection and plug the phone in again and try restoring it without any virus stuff on.
    However, it sounds as long it's not a software issue but a hardware one and restore won't fix that.

  • Since updating to ios7 --I turn off my iPad and go back to it later and it is on again. Has this happened to anyone else.

    Several times I have turned off my iPad  and when I go back to it later,it is on again to home page.since I keep it in a case this causes it to get hot which can't be good.this has only happened since recent upgrade.

    That depends on how you have set up your Auto-Lock and Passcode Lock.
    I have set Auto-Lock to 2 Minutes and Passcode Lock to Immediately.
    If you want to try the same thing, then do this:
    Settings > General > Auto-Lock > 2 Minutes
    Settings > General > Passcode Lock > (enter your passcode) > Require Passcode > Immediately
    If you don't like those time delays, choose the ones that you prefer.
    This will of course not stop any notifications to turn on the iPad's screen, if your iPad is in sleep mode.
    To modify those notifications to your requirements: Settings > Notification Center

    Hello lafan and welcome to the forums,
    I'm sorry your having this issue.  You could try holding the power button down and switching the ringer switch back and forth 3 times.
    If this doesn't work, you could also try pulling the battery and re-seting it to see if the device powers back up. 
    If this does not work, I would suggest replacing the battery, possibly the device.
    Let us know if this helps..
    Thanks,

    my battery on my iphone 4 will not charge unless the phone is turned off. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Is this observed as the iPhone is plugged into a Computer or into an AC outlet; or both?  In any case you should try a Reset of the iPhone by depressing the Sleep button and the Home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears then wait for the Reset to bring your iPhone back to the Lock-Screen. 

  • 6 plus turns off during calls

    i am on my second 6plus and having the same issue.  My issue is that the phone shuts off 20% of the time during calls.  The phone will be dark for 20 seconds and then the apple logo appears to start back up, like it is rebooting.  After the logo reappears the phone home screen comes back up and the caller is still there.  So I don't ever loose the call, I just loose the ability to hear or saying anything.  Plus the phone is dark like it is completely turned off.  I know another phone will not fix this, anyone know the software issue? sprint is the carrier

    Hello Mwcourter,
    Having your device replaced multiple times can certainly be frustrating. After reviewing your post, it sounds as though your device is resetting during use. I have located an article that can help with software issues. Have you attempted to restore the device to factory settings without restoring from a backup? Test the issue on a new installation, and make sure that it works. Then use the same article to restore from your backup to either verify it still works, or isolate the issue to the backup itself.
