HP Officejet 6500A plus with Linksys E3000 Router

Are there any known compatability issues with this printer and router connected wirelessly? Whenever I print something with just text, the printer seems to work fine, but whenever I print something a little but larger with a couple images, or color the printer seems to take forever as if the connection is timing out. I just recently bought the printer last weekend. Average time to print a full page of just text takes a few seconds, whenever I print anything with an image it seems like it prints a couple of lines, then stops for a few seconds, then a couple lines, etc. Sometimes will stop for over 30 seconds. Average print time exceeds a few minutes per page.
I have all recent updates, and I have the printer setup outside the DHCP range of the router on a static IP. Is there anything else I can do? I am hoping to find someone with the same router, perhaps there is a problem with my router settings?
I just recently got over printing issues with it printing gibberish and pages of random text on its own, especially after I would cancel print jobs. Now I would like to fix this problem.
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

OK, and the printer has the latest firmware as well? (Enable web services, update product).
What is the signal strength (from the front panel: Setup > Network > Wireless Network Test)?
Have you tried Ethernet?  Does it do the same thing?
I am kind of stumped, here.  Perhaps trying channel 1, changing to WPA only, 802.11g only (as experiments)?

  • Issue with Linksys E3000 router wireless speeds

    Hello! I recently upgraded my Comcast package to Blast and now I'm getting around 60 Mbps when connected directly to the modem via wire. However, when I connect via wireless, I'm not getting anything higher than 35+ Mbps. I have a Linksys E3000 router. The current settings that I have is 2.4 GHz, mixed network mode, channel width "auto", channel 11. I'm currently getting the highest possible speed on channel 11 since it's the least congested channel. I tried switching mode to N only to see whether it would improve the speed; however, it doesn't make any difference. Also, I tried speeds in 5Ghz settings as well, but I'm still getting the same speeds. The computer is approximately 10 feet away from the router. I've also tried testing speeds with the computer right next to the router, but still I'm getting same speeds. On the other hand, when I connect to the router via wire, then I'm getting the same fast speeds 60Mbps as I was getting when connected directly to the modem.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    You must use WPA2-AES encryption.  Set to 20 Mhz only.  Try channel 1 or 6 also.  Disable WMM (media priority) and try again.

  • Apple Airprint to HP Officejet 6500A Plus via Wired Connection to Router

    Hi There,
    So I've done a considerable amount of research into this across the internet and this forum and I'm still struggling to find a satisfactory solution.
    I have an HP Officejet 6500A Plus connected by ethernet into my BT Homehub 3.
    It is my understanding that even though this is a wired connection, as long as my iOS device (iPad 2 or iPhone 5) is connected to the same router, I should still be able to see this Officejet over through the airprint facility.
    Unfortunately this is not the case. I only get the "No Airprint Printers Found" message on both devices. The only way I have managed to get my Mac Pro (Mavericks) to connect was to mannualy add using the IP address for the printer.
    Can anyone give any guidance as to what I might be doing wrong? The printer is definitely connecting to the internet as I can print from my iOS devices using HP ePrint app for iOS.
    Some might say well what is the problem, just use the HP app but this is not point. I believe if something has been implemented to make things easier then use it. I chose this printer specifically for this functionality so it's a little frustrating to find it so difficult to achieve the desired results.
    Hope it's something straightforward and someone can help.
    Thanks,
    Steve
    This question was solved.

    Further to this request, and reading many more similar issues, I think I may resolved this.
    I am not 100% sure but I have read some threads suggesting there are issues around BT's Homehub 3 and bonjour so this may be an issue.
    I have tried the following over the past couple of days...
    1) Completely reset my router (wiped all settings and started again) - No luck!
    2) Tried changing from WPA2 to just WPA security - No luck!
    3) Tried forwarding the bonjour ports to the printer - No luck!
    4) Switched off router, printer and all iOS devices then powered back router, printer and then iOS devices - Printer appears on iOS devices but when print was selected, iOS device repeatedly returned Printer Not Connected error.
    Finally, what seems to have done it (at least for now) was...
    1) Unplugged ethernet from the Officejet and set it up as Wireless connection.
    2) Powered down router, printer and all iOS devices then powered back up in the order stated earlier.
    3) So far I have tried printing an email and a web page from my iOS devices and both have been sucessful.
    Incidentally I had been struggling also to airplay from my iPhone and iPad until I started messing around with settings above and now this issue also seems to be resolved.
    Due to variety of combinations (different printers, routers etc) people will have, it seems to be quite difficult to find a solution which addresses an individual problem however I hope some of my experimenting and findings might help others in some way.

  • Officejet 6500A plus won't connect to new wireless router

    I recently purchased the Netgear R6250 Wireless Router.  My HP Officejet 6500A plus was able to connect to my old router, the Netgear WNDR3400, but it will not connect to my new router using the WPS feature, nor the Pin method.
    I get "An error has occured" message when using the WPS, and an "Invalid Passphrase" with the manual input. I have verified the passphrase several times with the same result.
    Is the issue with my new router (i.e. I need to make some sort of change to its settings that are not indicated in the manual) or is there an issue with the Printer (i.e. something special needs to be done to allow it to connect to this new router) 

    Yes, download the user guide here.

    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

  • 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

    ... Do u have any suggestions....?
    Yes. These days I prefer Brother printers. They appear to have engineered their printers with AirPrint as well as OS X compatibility from the start, unlike certain others who appear to have included it as an afterthought.
    Brother's models are inexpensive, their ink is also inexpensive and lasts a long time, and their photo quality is at least as good as HP's. They have a two year warranty and lifetime free technical support with people who understand Apple.
    Read the reviews (Amazon for instance, but be sure to read user reviews on the various manufacturer's websites as well) and decide for yourself.
    If you require AirPrint compatibility, or if there is any possibility you may need it in the future, limit your search to printers that specifically indicate AirPrint compatibility.
    Brother™ Monochrome Laser Printer and All-in-One models now support AirPrint.
    Brother™ Color Inkjet All-in-One units now support AirPrint.
    I have no affiliation with Brother but theirs was the first inkjet printer or "all-in-one" I have ever owned that simply works as well as the Macs I am accustomed to using. I positively detested every inkjet printer I ever had until I bought the Brother.

  • HP Officejet 6500A Plus will not maintain wireless connection reliably

    For the HP EXPERTS on Expert Day, April 18, 2012:
    B.L.A.T. (Bottom Line At Top):  We have an HP Officejet 6500A Plus purchased about 5 months ago.  We wanted to use it as a wireless-connected printer in another room besides our home office.  It is useless to us because it will not maintain its wireless connection, even sitting just a few feet from the router in the same room.  Except for numerous hours of troubleshooting, we have left it sitting powered up, but unused and idle, for almost the entire 5 months in our home office.  DURING ALL THAT IDLE TIME, IT HAS LOGGED OVER 3,200 DISCONNECTS, at a consistent rate of 24 disconnects every 24 hours, even though it ALWAYS reports that the wireless signal quality is “EXCELLENT” (all this is according to the Wireless Network Test Reports we’ve printed throughout the last 5 months).  So our question is, what is it that this printer is trying to do once an hour over a wireless connection that is causing these thousands of disconnects?  And how can we stop it?
    NOTE!  Before you round up the usual suspects (namely our router and our PC firewalls) please note that we also bought an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus ON THE SAME DAY as the Officejet 6500A Plus.  The 8600 was also installed with a wireless connection, and has worked without a single network issue for the entire 5 months.
    NOW, FOR THE REST OF THE STORY…
    WHO WE ARE:  My wife and I have worked on HP equipment for 33 years, starting in 1979 as corporate customers of HP when we worked for Exxon; then we both worked for HP directly for 17 years; and we’ve now used dozens of pieces of HP equipment in our home during the last 12 years in retirement.  We’re primarily software folks, so we’re not exactly experts in hardware and networking, but on the other hand, this ain’t our first rodeo either.
    OUR CONFIGURATION: 
    PC’s – All running Windows 7 x64 with all important patches applied and Norton Internet Security 2012:  HPE-270f and HP AIO 200-Quad, each with full 6500A and 8600A drivers installed on wireless connection.  These 2 PC’s themselves can connect either wirelessly or via Ethernet to our home network.  The 270f has a dual-band wireless board.  Both bands work.  We also have a new dv7t laptop with only the full 6500A driver installed via wireless connection.  The laptop is now upstairs and it’s connected to our home network wirelessly without any issues.  (This is where we had hoped to also put the 6500A, but it needs to work reliably via wireless connection.)
    ROUTER:  Netgear N600 WNDR3700 providing Ethernet and wireless networking.  Router provides a very strong wireless signal throughout the house.  No wireless problems with any other equipment including an iPod, two Kindle Fires besides all the HP equipment.
    PRINTERS:  Besides the two HP printers, the HPE-270f PC has a Canon MP960 installed on it.  And if we can’t get the 6500A working right or replaced with something that does work right, we may be buying our second Canon printer.  By the way, on the 6500A, ePrint and App’s are set to ON, but of course they’re not being used, just like everything else on this AIO.
    OTHER:  We also have a Sonos music system that connects to our network via Ethernet and has its own proprietary mesh network (on another frequency) for transmitting ripped music wirelessly to speaker units throughout our house.  (If you aren’t familiar with this totally cool system, check out sonos.com).  We’ve never seen any evidence of interference between these two wireless networks, or our wireless phone sets either.
    HP TOOLS AVAILABLE ON ALL 3 PC’s:  HPU
    UPDATE 5.003.001.001 (reporting everything up-to-date); HPHDU 3.1.0.17; HPPDU 5.0.0.015 and HPNDU 4.3.0.002. 
    SYMPTOMS:  The 6500A Plus installs quickly and easliy, and connects wirelessly just fine during installation.  But sometime over the next hour (usually less), it disconnects and won’t print from PC applications.  Sometimes the application puts up an “Unable to communicate with printer” screen, even though the PC usually thinks the printer is “ready”.  Other times, the PC thinks the printer is offline (but printers don’t have “offline” buttons anymore!).  Often, if you just leave everything alone, the 6500A will somehow reconnect and print out the spooled file 5-30 MINUTES later.  So it does usually seem to be able to recover given some time, but that doesn’t always fit our schedule!   Occasionally, turning the wireless radio on the printer off and back on will fix it right away.  But usually, you have to power the printer completely off, and then back on.  As far as we know, that always fixes it…..until the next disconnect a few minutes later!
    PREVIOUSLY TRIED:  After reading some of HP’s wireless network support websites, I manually assigned a fixed IP address to this printer.  It didn’t seem to matter; according to the wireless network test report, it still logs disconnects at the rate of one per hour, and all the failure symptoms were the same.
    We also dabbled a bit with setting this printer as “trusted” to the Firewall, but that didn’t seem to matter either.
    Next, we connected the printer via Ethernet.  The printer immediately started to work, even though it had just been in its “failed” state over the wireless connection.  As far as we know, it never failed while connected via Ethernet.  This seems to point to a purely wireless hardware/firmware problem on the printer itself.
    Late last year, I tried two different chat sessions about this with the inter-continental AIO support teams, each one lasting several hours.  Unfortunately, none of their optimistic solution scripts seemed to fit our problem.  They both seemed determined to reconfigure the 6500A as a TCP/IP printer, which of course worked fine initially, just like everything else.  At this point, they would understandably want to close the chat.  But 20-30 minutes later, we could no longer print to it.  During the second chat, they got into one of our PC’s remotely and effectively turned off the spooler (by selecting “Print Directly” or something like that).  After that, all was well again (as usual) UNTIL the printer disconnected, at which time attempting to print from that PC would HANG the application (since the spooler was no longer buffering) and eventually hang the whole PC.  One giant leap backwards.  That’s when I gave up on the multi-hour chat sessions.
    The three diagnostic utilities (HDU, PDU, NDU) have been tried over and over.  When the printer is in its disconnected state, the DU’s usually don’t detect the 6500A at all, or if they do detect it, they are unable to fix anything.  Frankly, it’s easier to just power the printer off (which takes about a minute) and power the printer back on (which takes more than a minute) and then wait for the spooler to kick in (usually about 30 seconds).  BUT WE DON’T CONSIDER THAT A SOLUTION!!
    B.L.A.B.  (Bottom Line At Bottom):  We have used up nearly the entire black ink cartridge and at least a ream of paper troubleshooting this brand new printer, to no avail.  This printer is useless to us unless it can maintain a wireless connection reliably.  Please help!
    Thanks –
    Bob and Jane

  • HP Officejet 6500A Plus not staying connected to wireless network

    Just picked up a HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-in-One Printer - E710n the other week and set it all up and it was working wonderfully. But I noticed after it goes into sleep mode it disconnects from the wireless network and doesn't reconnect.
    I will get a overview of how I have it all set up.
    I have a DSL modem with a TRENDnet TEW-639GR router connected to it. I have set my router to reserve IP addresses for the computer and printer. That way I can leave the computer and printer wireless IP settings as automatic and they will always get the same IP address. I do this for the wireless network at my parents place as well and it works perfectly with their HP Photosmart C7280.
    I also set up the HP ePrintCenter feature on the printer so that I can print by sending the printer an email. When I first set it all up this was working great. I tested it all and it was awesome. When I would log onto the ePrint website it would show as connected and it was all good.
    So then what happened was it was all fine then the next day when we want to print something the computer says the printer is offline. I go on the HP ePrintCenter website and it says not connected. I print out a wireless network report page and it says not connected. After I printed that test page, I guess it woke up the printer enough or something as it then connected to the router and printed fine as well as showed up as connected on the ePrintCenter website. So all was good. Then the next day the printer goes to sleep and again it shows as disconnected.
    Should it not be staying connected in sleep mode? How will the printer know something is being sent to it and that it should wake up if it is not staying connected?
    Any suggestions of what I should change with the settings? I suppose I could try setting the IP settings as static on the printer itself but I shouldn't need to as I set it to static on the router. When it finally does reconnect it does always keep the same IP. If that is what is required I guess I could do that but then what is the point in having an automatic setting if it doesn't work? I would rather have this issue fixed that have to do a work around for it.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    The printer should stay connected to your wireless network after the printer enters the sleep mode.
    This is not an expected behavior.
    I believe such an issue may be caused due to a signal quality or any conflict as too many broadcust on the same channel.
    Please try the following steps in order to better understand the issue:
    Follow the Wireless Setup Wizard if your printer currently disconnected
    Enter the Setup menu.
    Enter the Network menu.
    Click Wireless.
    Click Wireless Test Report.
    What is the signal quality provided by the report and what channel used to broadcast by your router?
    If you may scan and attach the report, it may help to better understand any possible cause.

  • HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-in-One Printer - E710n wireless print and web app problem

    We have an HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-all-in-one Printer - E710n and run Windows 7 on our laptop.
    I have run the wirelss setup wizard and have successfully connected the printer to the router, and both the laptop and printer are on the same network and have identical SSID.
    However, we can not send any prints the printer wirelessly. We have to hook it up to the USB to do so. We are also unable to access our web apps; pressing the app button on the printer control panel brings up the following:
    "Connection error. The printer was unable to connect to the server. Check your internet connection and try again."
    I have run through the suggested solutions under "A Network Connected Printer Cannot Access Print Apps, Web Services, or ePrint" in the customer care help centre which didn't work, although when I tried to enter the IP address under IPv4 into the browser address bar it timed out. I tried the HP Print and Scan Doctor, but it returns a result that suggests everything is fine.
    I turned off the firewall and tried again with no luck.
    I really am at a loss now. Diagnostics say it should work, but it doesn't. Help!

    Disable Bitdefender altogeher and try again.

  • Will the officejet 6500a plus be ready for printing when the mains supply is turned on

    I am considring the purchase of an Officejet 6500a Plus (duplex is a prime reason) it will be used in a home office environment with Win 7 operating system. I can remotely swithch on the mains supply to the printer and router. Will the printer be available to print (after start up checks) without further intervention?  eg. do i need to depress the start button on the printer?
    Many thanks in anticipation Jimbow

    The printer should come up "ready" after a minute or so and accept print jobs without any intervention on the front panel.  
    That said, it would be much better to leave the printer turned on and let the automatic power management take care of putting the printer into a low power state.  If you remove power from the printer remotely there is a risk of having the printheads not properly capped after a print job.  This can cause the printheads to dry out, causing print quality issues.  It will also result in extra ink being used when the printer power is restored as more servicing will be performed on the printhead.

  • OfficeJet 6500A Plus Goes Offline and Won't Come Back

    I'm having  trouble with my OfficeJet 6500A Plus, keeping it "online" to the wireless network in my home.  I am trying to print from my HP Pavilion laptop which has been loaded with the latest software from the HP Support site.
    The printer shows itself to be online to my router.  I've even run the Wireless Setup Wizard over again to reintroduce the printer to the router.  But, no, my laptop considers the printer to be "offline" and, if I try to remove and reinstall the printer, Windows can't find the printer on the network.
    By the way, my Pavilion laptop is new, purchased in July and it's running on Windows 8.1.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • How do i print from my ipad to the officejet 6500a plus?

    I read there may be something else required. I want to print directly to the Officejet 6500A Plus. Apple says ths is an Air Print printer capable of doing that. I'm not taking this monster out of the box until I know it will do what I want without a lot of trouble. Thanks.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Ok, so you were talking about needing the update.  It's hard to say as it all depends upon if it came with the new firmware or not.  It is not really relevent, however, since it will update itself upon enabling Web Services.  This process takes only a few minutes.  There is no computer necessary for the firmware update as long as the printer has internet access (i.e. connected directly to a router via either ethernet or wireless).  Yes, with an ad hoc connection, you will be able to print from the iPad, but you would have to use its 3G connection as opposed to going through your router.  It can only support a single wifi connection also.  Go ahead and set up the printer and keep me posted as to what happens.
    BTW - What is the issue with your PC that it cannot access the internet?
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided.

  • HP Officejet 6500A Plus

    My HP Officejet 6500A Plus all in one printer recently stopped functioning and printing.   First the Wireless network stopped working (Wireless Status Disconnected) and the Wireless Netwok Test Report advice was “contact HP support”.  Then I started getting endless errors and flashing print screens with numerical references like 83C00009, 00729C98 etc.  Any attempt to turn off the printer using the “off button” resulted in another error message.  The following are examples of the stream of new error messages that appeared each time the “off button” was pressed: B0000A16; B03DA14A; B811DEB6; B8383184; B03E3B66; B83D99B8 etc.  To finally “turn off” the printer it became necessary to disconnect the power.  I have consulted the manual and queries on the HP site using the numerical references as search criteria, does not return any useful results / strategies.  I found a video about how to do a partial “reset” (turn on using # + 3) but while this did allow me to access the print screen, it did not resolve anything and the numerical errors and flashing lights reappeared.  I downloaded the HP diagnostic tools, but they came up with nothing – i.e. could not communicate with my printer.  I read on some post that there may be a problem with the printer head, so I ran the Printer Status Report, but it seemed OK.  Regardless I ran the clean the PrinterHead tool, and again this seemed OK, so I didn’t run the 2nd stage.   My printer is out of warranty.  It is 1.5 years old, but hasn’t been used that much.  According to the Printer Status Report it has printed 1534 pages and scanned 290.
    What can I do?  Most of the "internet searches" suggest that if the printer is out of warranty the only option is landfill.

    Thank you.  Thesole reason I bought this printer was to use its wireless “Airprint” functionality to print from an iPad and when it worked it was a fabulous product.  The start of these constant alphanumeric errors seemed to coincide with the wireless function ceasing to work (it went offline, HP Network Configuration Report – Network Status “Offline”, and Wireless status “Disconnected”).  Maybe that was just a coincidence.  Running the “Wireless Network Test Report” the recommendation is “Contact HP support***”.  I.e.  The Wireless is on (blue light good) PASS, but the Wireless Working status is FAIL.
    I have only tried using the USB in an attempt to get around the wireless not working, i.e. still able to do some basic printing and perhaps upload firmware updates etc.  I have tried different USB ports on my laptop computer but only with the same USB cable that came with the printer.  This original printer cable has only been used a couple of times and it has on two occasions allowed me to print successfully from the laptop (i.e. initially it worked although .  Surely it should be OK.  I am reluctant to go out and buy another cable in the hope that it might resolve something and I don’t really have access to another computer to test.
    Thank you I have previously seen that article.  It was somewhat useful.  My errors messages (mostly 83C0009, and sometimes just a black and white striped screen or B0525DAE, B866A570 etc) however do not include system ink failure and the article basically therefore simply recommends switching the computer off at the same time the ink cartridges are removed.  This has in the past provided some improvement in the frequency of the error messages but it is usually short-lived and the error message returns.  The error message can however become entrenched and at that point the print cartridges don’t move when the printer door is open and therefore can’t be removed.  At this point I've tried turning the printer on while holding down #+3 to try and get back to a home screen, rather than an error screen.
    On the upside, I can occasionally still make photocopies and the print quality is good. 
    Any guidance on what I should do next?
