HP Officejet 6500A Plus prints blank pages

Hi,
I have worked HP Officejet 6500A Plus printer.
It was printed fine.
Suddenly it prints "blank" pages.
It's the same blank when it printing using "Copy" or "Print" through any application.
And it does not matter what was selected: black or color.
Scan is working fine.
Thx.

Does apple make a printer for iPad if not how dow I get it to work with a HP Officejet 6500A Plus printer?

Does Apple make a printer for the iPad and if not how do I get it to work with a HP Officejet 6500A Plus printer? Thanks

Apple don't make any printers, but there are a number of the printers that are AirPrint-enabled, which you should be able to print to just by the printer and the iPad being on the same wifi network - the models that support AirPrint are listed on this page (the page also includes a bit of troubleshooting at the bottom of it) and it includes :
HP Officejet 6500A e-All-In-One E710a
HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-In-One E710n
If your's isn't one of those then you could see if HPs own ePrint app works with it, or there are third-party printer apps such as PrintCentral Pro and Print n Share which might work it

So I cannot scan my pictures, help. Windows 8.1 with HP Officejet 6500A Plus printer. Scanner works with other programs in my PC. Problem is PS12

I bought the Officejet 6500A Plus about one month and have experienced the very same problem. I tried to remedy this problem following suggestions in a number of different posts (static IP, router, firewalls etc), all to no avail. Last week I called support. The support I received by the tech over several hours and different days for a week was very good. However none of his suggestions corrected the connection issue. After today's recommended fix failed, he advised HP is aware of this issue with the 6500 and other affected printers. He claimed HP was working on a firmware upgrade. He did not know when the update would be provided. The tech also claimed HP acknowledged this problem in a written announcement. He agreed to email the announcement to me. I haven't received it. This has been the only problem I've had with the 6500

My HP OfficeJet 6500A Plus printer/scanner/fax/copier won't connect to my wireless network

I tried going through the Wireless Network setup on my HP OfficeJet 6500A Plus machine. The printer recognizes the network and I then type in my network's password but it won't connect to the network. What can I do? I would like to be able to print and scan wirelessly. Help please!

Hello erking,
Sorry to hear that you are having an issue with connecting the printer to your Mac over a wireless connection.
I have done some research and I have found a great document that deals with The Printer Is Not Found During a Wireless Network Installation.
Please feel free to write me back and I will be happy to assist you further with any questions or concerns you may have.
Thanks for your time.

HP Officejet Pro 8000 Printing Blank Pages Instead Of Data And Also Reorienting Itself

Hi all
We have a wireless HP Officejet Pro 8000 in our office (but via cable, not wireless) to a network. The printer is occasionally printing blank pages instead of say a spreadsheet selected to print.
The other issue is that if you say are printing two copies of the same spreadsheet, one prints okay (say landscape) and the second copy, selected at the time of printing, prints it portrait but only part of the left hand side of it and the rest is blank. Coming out of and going back inthe file usually recitifes this. But it does it again any time it feels like it.
We did have an upgrade, where our IT guy took away our desktop boxes and replaced with smaller base units and everything is run from a main server and alsoan upgrade from Windows 2000 to Network. Problems started after this and the IT guy did update the printer driver.
Please would anyone be able to assist? Any help for this frustrating problem gratefully accepted!
Thanks,
Saxplayer67

So the issue with the 8000 printer is periodic print jobs do not come out as you are wanting them. Is that right? This is interesting, just from the point of view that generally speaking issues like this are like a light switch, they are either there or they are not - they usually don't come and go. That being said, we are going to see what we can do to resolve this. First I am going to recommend that we perform a clean installation of the printer after uninstalling it from the machine. By the way, what is the operating system you are working with - Is it Windows 2000 Network?
First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it. Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer.
In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.
Then follow this link to download the full feature software and drivers for the printer:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3762364
Install that and let me know the result!
Have a great day!

DesignJet 110 plus printing blank pages

5 year-old DesignJet 110 Plus is printing blank pages It worked perfectly until today (all colors fine)Today no colors printing, totally blank pages Carriage goes back-and-forth over paper, then cuts the paper to correct size - just blank. Ink is full (all colors) Any suggestions would be welcome! Thanks

You need to determine if the driver or printer has an issue. See the attached for printing an info page using the control panel buttons. See if you get a printed page. If you do, then the issue is driver. If you do not get a printed page, then the issue could be bad printheads, but it would be strange for all heads to go bad.

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus - printing BLANK pages

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus... printing totally blank pages. Printer SOUNDS like it's printing... pages slowly feed out and printhead sounds like it moves back and forth...Tried all 3 levels of printhead cleaning... still banks.Tried "print reports" - blank.Attempted a local "copy" at the printer - blank. We've had the printer maybe ~ 2 years.Recently changed out cyan ink cartridge.Used on our wireless network - not directly connected to any computer.Recently upgraded main computer from Windows XP to Windows 8.1Also use a Macbook Pro on the wireless network Help!

Also... just downloaded the "HP Print and Scan Doctor"... attempting to print "test pages" and again, they sound like they're printing, but they come out BLANK. Ink levels are okay.

One original Intro cartridge no longer recognized by HP Officejet 6500a Plus printer

The original "Intro" Magenta cartridge in my HP 6500a Plus is no longer recognized by the printer.
The other "Intro" color cartridges (cyan and yellow) have a little ink left, and are recognized, along with a non-Intro HP black cartridge.
I didn't use this printer a lot. What would cause just one cartridge to no longer be recognized by the printer?
I can't use this printer at all now because of this. Not even for black-only printing... Not even for scanning!
Edit:
More info: The Magenta cartridge has an expiry of 2013/08, and the other 2 color cartridges have an expiry of 2013/09.
Hmm.. are these cartridges designed to self-destruct about 6 months after expiry, even if they have some useable ink left in them?
In a month or so, will the other 2 quit being recognized as well?
I get:
Ink System has failed (0xc19a0020)
Ink System has failed (0xc19a0022)
See attached pics for cartridge specific messages:
I've done Solution one: Reset the printer.
Done Solution two: Remove, clean, and reinstall the printhead.
Done Solution three: Reset the product (looks like the first solution).
I'm going to but a new Magenta cartridge and see if the problem goes away..

I just discovered the Embedded Web Server on my E710n-z printer. Very cool!
But it shows conflicting information from what the LCD panel shows:
(it shows the printer head as damaged)
And here, it recognizes the Magenta cartridge as empty:
I only printed 132 pages in the lifetime of this printer and the head is gone?

Laptop and Officejet 6500A Plus printer can't communicate using HP software

When I use Windows 7's built-in "Find New Printer" utility, I have no problem establishing communication between my laptop and my OfficeJet 6500 A Plus printer/scanner/fax. It works fine for printing, but I really need a scanner, so I try to use the HP software. I've tried both the full software package and the basic driver option, but the printer and the laptop can't seem to find each other, whether I use my Google fiber-based home Wi-Fi network or connect with a USB.
Both the laptop and the printer say they're connected to my home network. Any advice?

Hello dionrwall,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see you are trying to install the 6500a Plus so you can scan, however you can not get the software to find the printer. I would like you to try using the HP Printer Install Wizard, this will act similar to the Windows installer for Plug N' Play.
Let me know if this is able to install the software correctly or if it fails.
Cheers,
JERENDS

It was printing fine and before it finished the 8 page job stopped with out of paper message.

Hp officejet 6500a plus print problem.

New set of HP cartridges installed. Ink level report shows ink in only two of the cartridges. Printhead check shows one colour on report - 2nd level check shows a different colour - but each time only one. Printhead alignment said successful. Printing is very streaky.

Disable Bitdefender altogeher and try again.

Y dose my hp officejet 6500a pluse power on then it powers off

I have a hp officejet 6500a pluse printer and i am running windows 7 32 bit and i plug it in and the power comes on then it terns off can anyone help me

Adding some further information:
When I print a single page printed multiple times the printer immediately goes into "printer paused" but you can resume the printing and all but the last page print.
However, the last page does not fully print and the message on the printer screen reads:
"Printer Error
Please turn printer Off and the On"
When you do this the printer only turns off completely if you hold the power button.
When you turn it back on again it complains with the message:
"! Improper Shutdown
To avoid damage. Use the On button to shutdown. Do not use a power strip or wall switch to shut down.
Ok"
After you press Ok it is ready to go again but the queued document is still sitting there but does nothing.
The Queue is displaying the message:
"Printer Ready
Printing page n, 100% complete..."
and the connectivity bar is doing a rotating spiral blue & white activity signal.

New operating system won't support re-installation of HP Officejet 6500A Plus

I updated my iMac to OS X9, Maverick -- I am unable to print, told that the operating system will not support the printer -- told to reinstall software, new Mac operating system not listed, told that if system not listed, will not be able to install printer software from HP Installer but may be able to install another way -- please let me know if there is another way -- Thank you

Hi rhd1884,
I understand you're looking for a way to install your Officejet 6500A Plus printer on your new Mavericks operating system. I'd be happy to help you with this.
There definitely is another way to install the printer. It can be done using the Apple software. To give you the right instructions, I just need to know if the printer is connected via a USB cable or is it wireless?
Once I know the connection type, I can give you the proper instructions!
