HP officejet 7500A, is wireless issues with printing

I have a HP Officejet 7500A printer , all in one. I have it set up wireless. The printer sometimes does not even print the job. Or will stop part way through printer. I have a laptop that is set up with it also. With the laptop it  does the same plus will go into pause mode. The printer with also just print pages with random letters and symbols, and also just start spitting out blank pages. I need help!

What Operating System are you using?
Garbled text is usually caused by a driver issue. Did you install from a disc or download?
If you are still unsure, you can go here to make sure you have the correct version.
You can also run this to help you diagnose the issue.

  • Will my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless work with the new Mac OS Lion

    Will my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless work with the new Mac OS Lion

    My experience with upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion is that the OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless will print just fine, although it seems to take a little longer to find the printer on the network. My scan function however locks up and will not work. This really is an annoyance, though, since I have VueScan, which works fine with Lion.
    Hopefully, Apple and HP will not orphan the OS native scanning feature for HP multifunction printers.

  • Issue with printing to a network photocopier

    We are a small school where the teachers all have Macbook Pro laptops. For a while we have been having intermittent issues with printing to the Photocopier, today is an example.
    Teacher tried to print, worked fine, then tried again 15 min later, received message Printer is in use (I was standing next to it and it wasn't in use!) tried again 10 min later, printed fine.
    Teacher tried to print, spooled for about 5 min then printed, tried again, printed fine.
    From the CUPS error log there are the following:
    - The Printer is in use
    - ICC Profile "/Library/Printers/Sharp/Profiles/SS0HIN0.icc" does not exist.
    - Remote host did not accept data file(32)
    - The printer did not respond
    - Stopping unresponsive job
    - The printer is not responding
    They are all on wireless. There is no network issue as I can ping the photocopier, get onto the Internet etc.
    They don't print via a server, they all have the photocopier installed on their macbooks as an IP printer using LDP.
    Thanks

    You'll need to manually create the folder and install the profiles. From the finder select Go, Go to Folder. Enter "/Library/Printers/Sharp/Profiles" without the quotation marks, Go. You might have to manually create the Profile folder. You can download this disk image from Sharp that contains the icc files here; http://www.sharpusa.com/ForBusiness/DocumentSystems/MFPsPrinters/MX4110N.aspx?vi ew=drivers
    Drag and drop the icc files from /MX-C26/Profiles to /Library/Printers/Sharp/Profiles
    Also make sure you install the drivers from MX-C26 for the appropriate version of OS X you are running.
    Hope this is clear.

  • My HP officejet 6000 E609n wireless does not print on envelopes.

    My HP officejet 6000 E609n wireless does not print on envelopes.  When I send an envelope address from the Microsoft Word envelope app, the envelope loads and then it  is send through the printer without printing on the envelope.  If instead of loading an envelope I load a plain sheet of 8x10.5 paper it will print the address as it should (side ways and on what would be an envelope).  I have had no problem printing envelope to my old DeskJet 930C with this Word envelope app.
    I load the envelopes without the 8x10.5 paper and the paper guide moved over to the edge of the envelopes up which are against the right side of the load table as indicated on the tray guide.  

    After many frustrating and fruitless attempts to solve this problem, including updating the drivers and following so many bits of advice from so many sources including contacting HP customer services by phone and email (who have not, so far, shown the courtesy of acknowledging my enquiry), I seem to have overcome the problem by cutting a piece of A4 paper along its length to a width, which when added to the envelope’s height, equals the width of an A4 sheet. For example, I use DL envelopes which have a nominal width of 110mm so the width of the piece of paper cut from A4 (which is 210 mm wide) is 100 mm. This strip is then temporarily attached to the envelope by piece of low tack tape (such as masking tape) running along and joining the paper and the envelope tabs. I feed this assembly of strip and envelope into the printer in the default position, (i.e. the envelope on the right hand side of the tray, face down with the sealing tabs on the left). The printer seems to treat this assembly as a piece of A4 and prints the address etc on the envelope correctly. The envelope is then easily detached from the tape without damage and I have found that this works many times as sufficient tack remains on the tape. I know this sounds a little complicated but it soon becomes a simple task.
    The HP Officejet 6000 printer has previously worked splendidly, printing envelopes from the Word 2007 envelopes function running on XP but has only recently malfunctioned since changing to Windows 7. For the record, I have also tried to print envelopes using the Word compatibility mode without success.

    now I am stuck with version 9.3.0 and when I check for updates I get a message
    UPDATER IS ALREADY RUNNING
    only... it's not running and nothing is updating !
    I made a restart... just in case... it did not change anything
    as to the printing issue, in case some of you have met it and cleared it...(hope)
    this was with version 9.5.0

    the font association problem is something recent though, since I used acrobat to print mails directly from my gmail account previously...

    as to the update issue, I see no aum.exe, msiexec.exe or setup.exe running... but that's quite above my head... do I look for those exact processes or are they generic names for processes ?
    does my question make sense ????

  • Issues with printing purchase order

    Dear friends,
    I'm having some issues with printing purchase orders.
    Normally when I create a purchase order via ME21N and then when I save the purchase order it then gets automatically printed.
    Suddenly it is not anymore working. I have created a purchase order this morning and it did not get printed. I get the message "frontend is not available"when i check the spool in SP01
    The funny think is if i call up the spool nr via SP01and then do a reprint then i'm able to reprint.
    What can be possibly the issue that I can't print the purchase order when I create the purchase order via ME21 when I save the purchase order? Can you help me with any guide on where I need to check why the PO is not printing immediatelly when i create the PO via ME21N?
    kind regards,
    Camilla

    hello all,
    thanks so far for your reply.
    i have checked today my user settings and that shows that my prints should go to LOCL (local default printer)
    The output conditions fpr purchase order have also LOCL (local printer)
    The weird thing is that I can print other reports to the default printer without any issues. The issue arise when I create a purchase order via ME21N. Normally when I save the PO it automatically prints. So no manual print instructions are required from my side. Because if I give manual instructions then I'm able to print the purchase order.
    Is it possible that the automatic printing is switched off and that it only prints when I hit manually the print button?
    Is the automatic printing something that is maintained in SPAD?
    kind regards and thanks for your help sofar

  • Issue with printing production order after changes through CO02

    Hi,
    Currently I have one issue with printing production order changes through CO02. If I go for print, all the operations are captured in printout. But after the print, if I add any new operations to this production order, and then go for print, its not capturing the newly added operations. Also, there is information popup coming "Copies will be printed for order. Original list already printed". This message effectively means, even after changes, when I go for print functionality, its just going for printing copies of original printed list.
    Can anyone help me out to get the newly added operations reflected in the print through CO02 ?
    Regards,

  • Issue with printing of Currency Value.

    Hi,
    I have an issue with printing of Currency Value.
    ( Pleae let me know if any thread available already  I searched it before posting but not found).
    The Problem is as follows:
    I have a field  s_value TYPE  MARM-SALK3.  (which is of currency type).
    The value of field is actually 1664.1450.   Currency USD
    But when I print this variable in ALV report it prints as  166414.50  though I used the same data type. (SALK3).
    Pleaes help me to fix this.
    Regards,
    Venkat

    Hi,
    If you use ALV to display currency value, you must sure that currency amount links with currency unit. You can archive this by using ALV fieldcat:
    wa_fieldcat-fieldname = 'SALK3'.
    wa_fieldcat-tabname = 'ITAB'.
    wa_fieldcat-cfieldname = 'WAERS'.
    wa_fieldcat-ctabname = 'ITAB'.
    append wa_fieldcat to gt_fieldcat.
    Please check,

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless - will not print green

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless that will not print Green.
    I have:
    1.  Cleaned Printhead using device cleaning command.  All steps
    2.  Alligned Printer - get message 'Alignment failed.  Refer to device documentation for details.'  I see know documentation
    3.  Calibrate Linefeed
    4.  Unplugged device while it was on and then replugged restarted.
    5.  Unplugged device while it was on and cleaned magenta/cyan printhead (following instructions from your website explictly).
    The Alignment failed message persists and it still will not print green.  I have done some of the above multiple times.
    I hope you can help quickly.  I have a home office and this is putting me behind a lot!
    If I need a new printhead, get one and it does not fix the problem, can I return it?  How can I get a printhead quickly?
    THanks! Kathy

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless Networking with LINKSYS WRT54GS wireless router

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless printer conneted via WiFi to my LYNKSYS WRT54GS wireless router.  I do not have a USB cable or ethernet cable plugged to the printer.  I am able to use the 'scan to email button' and the 'scan to network folder' button on the front of the printer and I can pint from the PC to the printer with no problems.
    I installed the HP printer software from the CD, choosing network/wireless connection, without having to install any USB cables from the PC to the printer in the process.  many posts in the forum mention having to connect USB cables in the wireless installation process.
    Can I install the software in the same fashion on the other two laptops? Or, do I need to do something differently?

    The USB cable is used on those printers which do not have display or front panel wireless setup is not possible. We configure the wireless settings during install and save those settings in printer's memory by transferring through USB cable. Therefore the USB is plugged in during wireless installation temporarily. In your case I don't think plugging in USB cable is necessary as the printer is already on network and had IP address. Connect the laptops on wireless network and proceed with regular install, the printer should be detected automatically.

  • OfficeJet 6700 - "Unable to communicate with printer" message after install

    I am on a hybrid network with Windows 7, 64-bit. Printer is hard-wired to the router (ethernet) but laptops are wireless. Installation doesn't allow for a hybrid option, just wireless or wired, so I installed as wired.
    I just installed the OfficeJet 6700 - installed OK.  I also updated software/firmware during the install process.
    Windows' "Devices & Printers" recognizes the HP as being installed.
    Printer is able to produce the network configuration page, etc. so we know the printer is functional, but when I try to print I get an "Unable to communicate with printer" message.
    Windows' "Devices and Printers" troubleshooter thinks the driver is not installed, but as I mentioned, I just installed software from the CD.
    UPDATE: I was able to install & print without problems on my wife's Win7, 64-bit laptop. Something about mine seems to be the issue. Also, HP Print & Scan Doctor reports that everything checks out OK, but when I try to print a test page at the end of the good doctor's diagnosis, I am still "unable to communicate with printer."

    Sorry this is so long, but I tried to be through in my testing.
    Followed your suggested steps.
    I had previously set a static IP address, but just to be thorough, re-set it again with the same address.
    I unplugged the USB cord from the laptop.
    I began with the device labeled "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)," which was set as the default printer.
    After entering the IP address & clicking Next, it searched the network and returned this message:
    Additional port information required
    The device could not be identified.
    The device is not found on the network. Be sure that:
    1. The device is turned on.
    The network is connected.
    The device is properly configured.
    The address on the previous page is correct. (re: the page where the IP address is entered)
    If you are sure the address is correct, select the device type below.
    I selected Standard (Generic Network Card) and clicked Next.
    Summary dialog appeared and I clicked Finish.
    Clicked OK/Apply.
    Attempted to print. Like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing.
    Right-clicked on the "Copy 1" device and selected Troubleshoot. Returned the message: Make printer "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700 the default printer" - even though this copy is already the default printer. (Usually when the original copy is set as the default, this copy is automatically re-named "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700.") I chose "Apply this fix."
    Summary page said "Troubleshooting has completed." I closed the troubleshooter and attempted to print. I closed the Devices & Printers window so it could refresh. Re-opened Devices & Printers. Now the default printer is named "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700." The other device is grayed out and is simply named "HP OfficeJet 6700."
    Attempted to print. (I'm testing w/ Notepad and .txt files)
    I have 3 choices in the Notepad's printer dialog box but only 2 devices showing in the Devices & Printers window:
    ~ "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700" - This is the default printer in the Devices and Printers window. I clicked on Print & rec'd an error message: "Send Fax - HP Officejet 6700. There is a problem communicating with the Printer. Check your USB connection & verify that the printer is ready." Notepad's print dialog box shows status as Offline. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    ~ "HP OfficeJet 6700." When I choose this printer option, Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Paused - Offline." I clicked on "Print" anyway, and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This is the printer that shows as grayed out in the Devices & Printers window. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    ~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)." There is no printer by this name in the Devices and Printers window even tho' it shows in Notepad's print dialog box. Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Ready." In Devices & Printers, when I right-click on the one labeled "Fax OfficeJet 6700" (the default device) and choose "See what's printing," 2 HP devices are listed - the one labeled "Copy 1" and the one labeled "Fax." I clicked on "Print" and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    I plugged in the USB cord again and re-ran the same series of tests.
    ~ "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700" - This is still the default printer in the Devices and Printers window. Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Ready." The fax window opened, waiting me to enter the recipient's name, add a cover sheet, etc. I closed the fax window. The .txt file was in the print queue for the "Fax" device, so I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    ~ "HP OfficeJet 6700." When I choose this printer option, Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Paused - Offline." I clicked on "Print" anyway, and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This is grayed out in the Devices & Printers window. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    ~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)." Again, there is no printer by this name in the Devices and Printers window even tho' it shows in Notepad's print dialog box. This is one of 2 choices in the device labeled "Fax" - the default device. Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Ready." I clicked on "Print" and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    Next, I used the printer's touch screen interface and turned the wireless connection off, leaving the USB cord plugged in.
    ~ "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700" - Status: Ready. The fax window opened, same as before. I closed the fax window & canceled all documents in the print queue.
    ~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 - Status: Paused - Offline. I clicked on "Print" anyway, and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This one shows as grayed out in the Devices & Printers window. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    ~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)" - Status: Error. I clicked Apply, then Print. Again, this is one of 2 choices in the device labeled "Fax" - the default device. Like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    Reconnected to the wireless network & verified that the IP address had not changed.
    Tried again to print using "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)" - Status: Ready. I clicked Print and again, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This is still listed as one of 2 choices in the device labeled "Fax" - the default device." Like before, I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    Next, I right-clicked on the one labeled "Fax OfficeJet 6700" (the default device) and choose "See what's printing" and selected the device labeled "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)." In the print queue window, when I click on "Printer, one of my options is "Set as Default Printer." As soon as I did that, the device in the Devices & Printers window was renamed as "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)" - no longer named "Fax." I tried to print again. Once again, file was sent to the print queue but never printed.

  • Connecting HP Officejet 6100 to wireless network with OSX 10.9.5

    Running OSX 10.9.5.
    I'm trying to connect HP Officejet 6100 to wireless network without HP software since the software claims it is not compatable with my OS. 
    The printer works fine when connected via USB.

    Hi @dj2thew,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I see you are trying to add your HP Officejet 6100 to your Mac running the Mavericks 10.9.5 Operating system.
    Because you are using the Mavericks OS X you must install the printer using the Apple Updates. Please click on the link below, this document explains how to install the print driver on a Mac for a USB or a network connection. The OS X v10.9 Mavericks driver for your printer is available through Apple Software Update (ASU). Additionally, you can perform basic print jobs using AirPrint without installing a driver.
    OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac
    Once you have installed the OJ 6100, you may notice the features you once had are limited or there are workarounds, for scanning with or without HP Software see below:
