HP Officejet 7500A Wide Format - Can't reset the paper size - won't print!!!

I have a new HP Officejet 7500A Wide Format All-in-one printer. I love it and have had no problems with it...until now. The other day I went into Photoshop and printed a 4x6 photo and now my printer will not allow me to print on 8.5X11. I have checked the paper size in Photoshop, Word, Excel, Acrobat...everything I used that day, but it all shows "letter" size paper in the properties. I also checked the printer utilities...letter size paper is selected.
But when I try to print, the printer and the computer both give me a "paper mismatch" error and my only option is to change the paper or cancel. I went back into photoshop again and was able to print a 4x6 photo again - once I put in 4x6 paper - but then I changed it back to an 8.5X11 size photo sheet and tried to print on letter size paper and..."paper mismatch'.
I changed the printer back to factory settings. Nothing. I just had to reset up my printer on my network, but it still won't print. I tried to re-install the printer software from the installation disk, but it won't install. It says "already installed".
HELP!!!!!! I honestly don't know what to do at this point!!!!!
Thanks in advance!!

I have struggled with a similer problem with my new 7500A. I've done all the things you did. I made sure I had all updates and the firm ware update. I spent time on the phone with a lady who meant well but clearly didn't know the product. I had a difficult time communicating with her. Her accent was in the way. This morning I realy didn't want to face another day of this struggle. As I walked into my studio I had a idea. Instead of going to the computer to try to solve my problem through menues, HP Customer Service and or communities. I went dirrectly to the printer. I turned the printer on, the little screen on the printer lit up I touched the arrow to go to the next screen of menus. I touched "Set Up" then scrolled down through the choices. I picked "Preferences". At the bottom of the list was.............. Media Width/Type Sensing (ON)............I promptly turned it (OFF) ......................I am printing as I was told I would be able to do prior to buying. I am not getting that anoying screen "Paper Mismatch" . The printer is printing now on my 12 x 12 stock regardless of the type. ie: cardstock, plain paper, colored paper, construction paper. I hope this helps some of you out there. Clearly HP was of "NO" help to me. I have read that others are installing HP 7000 drivers etc. I've solved the problem without going to those lengths, no thanks to HP.

Custom paper size with HP Officejet 7500A Wide Format e-All-in-One Printer

I am wanting to print on a paper size 12x18. I do not find a "Custom" paper size on my printer HP Officejet 7500A Wide Format e-All-in-One Printer. Is there another driver which I can download which would allow me to enter custom paper sizes?

How do I get my Macbook Pro to print with HP Officejet 7500a Wide Format printer

My Macbook Pro (Retina Display) seems to have a problem to print with the HP Officejet 7500a - Wide Format printer - Is it the OS X 10.10.2 causing the problem. It works when connected to the USB cable - but wireless print is a problem.

let's see-on printer control panel, you've pressed the right arrow, then "network" then "wireless" then "wireless setup wizard" then OK,
and the wireless capability has been turned on, yes? (I didn't know you could turn it off) -either press the wireless button, or press setup on the printer's control panel, then wireless menu, then touch "On". A blue light should be lit up.
Failing that, restart the wireless components-turn off router, then printer, then turn on router and then turn on printer. dunno what else to suggest
apparently, you can do a wireless test from the printer-right arrow, then network, then wireless, then wireless network test.. .
also see if there are any updates for your printer-there has been a firmware update for this printer from 2012-try that, there is also a software update for 10.10 apparently it adds direct wireless printing...

HP Officejet 7500A Wide Format Printer from IPad

I would like to print 11" x 17" documents to our HP Officejet 7500A Wide Format from an IPad without access to a wireless network. I have downloaded the HP ePrint and PrinterControl apps and they don't have the 11" x 17" option. I was told by the HP Help Center that I need a 'third party' app. Anyone have any suggestions?

Unfortunately there is no way to print to the Officejet 7500A using your iPad without having access to a wireless network. The wireless network is how the iPad and printer comunicate with each other. If neither devices have any kind of network connection, then there is no way possible for them to communicate.

Officejet 7500A Wide Format printer connects intermittently to computer through wireless network

I have a recently purchased Officejet 7500A printer that I would like to use wirelessly. I have an Apple wireless router and am running Windows 7 on my computer. The printer and computers individually connect to the network and there are no issues with the router. The issue is with the connection between the computer and printer. I can print things from my computer by emailing the file to the printer, but only sometimes does it work through directly printing from the software. I have tried to scan from my computer and from the printer, but get the same error message from both that there is no communication between the printer and computer. I suspect it is a firewall issue, but am not sure how to modify the settings to allow this communication to occur. I have the windows firewall and have Advanced System Protector software, but have disabled the windows shield in that software. Help?

So do you have multiple anti-virus systems installed on your PC (even if they are not all active)? If so, this can certainly lead to bizarre behavior.
I would pick one system, uninstall others using their own unistallers (restarting the PC after every uninstall).
With the one you chose to have on your system, make sure it is updated to the latest rev.

Officejet 7610 wide format: can't scan legal documents to pdf

I am having a problem scanning legal documents from the ADF and/or off the glass.
only cropped letter size gets created.
I believe I am using newest model with the newest drivers.
Just purchased and installed drivers from the internet.
I need work-a-round or other fix.

There is no setting in the Front Panel to set to Legal. All paper size settings need to be done on the SW. I believe you have installed the overall SW.
Select HP Office 7610 series icon from pc desktop. Otherwise Click > Program > HP > HP Officejet 7610 series to open HP Printer Assistant.
1. Select Set Preferences.
2. Select Paper/Quality.
3. Change Paper Size to Legal.
4. Click OK to save setting.
Now by default the scan target will be scanned to Legal size. Take note by default if there is A4 or Letter siz paper and when setting is at legal, then these paper sizes will be scanned to legal sizes.
Alternatively if you do not want to set the default size to legal, then you can go to HP Printer Assistant. Select "Scan a document or Photo". Select the appropriate settings and do a SW scan.

OfficeJet 7500A Wide Format Printer Squeaks

Either the paper rollers or the cartridge carrier , or both, squeeks. Any suggestions?

My HP 7500A is a couple years old, or so it feels. It started squeaking pretty bad a month ago. Sometimes I'll be printing out 50 or 100 copies of something and it got pretty old. My fix (so far so good) was to squirt a very small amount of Triflow (spray lube with teflon) on the easiest to reach and see points at the end of the rollers where they disappear into the housing. Just lifted up the main top like I was going to swap ink cartridges and put a little spritz (using the tube) on the ends.
Then I removed the rear cover at the back of the printer where a duplexer would be mounted (if I had one). Again just a tiny bit of lube on the ends of the roller bar where it goes into the housing.
This process cost me 2 sheets of paper where the lube dripped on the right edge of the sheets, but the squeaking is gone. May it never return. The source of the squeaking seemed to be during the drawing a new sheet of paper out of the tray. It wouldn't seem like I'd hit those points, but Triflow has an amazing ability to travel to where it is needed. I kept it well away from rollers and was careful not to use it excessively. Just at the ends.
The Triflow seems to be friendly with all the plastic it comes into contact with. I'm sure if I had a warranty it would have been voided, but that was not one of my concerns.

Since upgrading to LR 5.6 I can no longer change paper sizes for user print templates.

The print preview window shows the new size laid out properly but the printer feeds only the size which was used to create the preset resulting in clipping if a larger paper and cell size is invoked in page setup or xs white space if a smaller is invoked. OS X 10.8.5, Stylus pro 7890. REINSTALLED PRINTERS AND DRIVERS, DELETED AND REPLACED LR PREFERENCE FILE, Other aps print ok. I

While the problem is unsolved I have found a workaround. If I use the "Printer" button (lower far right) and print from the printer dialed pop up custom paper sizes chosen in the "page setup" are honored and the layout prints as shown in the LR print preview). On the other hand, If I print using the "Print" button the printer feeds only the paper size chosen when creating the preset.

Hp 7500a wide format installation for MacBook Pro

Can you please provide me a download link for the printer and scan setup drivers for hp 7500a wide format for macbook pro - mac os x 10.10.2 yosemite?

Hello PoojaP,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
Regarding the software for the Officejet 7500a Wide Format, there is not any Full Feature Software and Drivers available from us. With that said, you will be able to download and install the Apple driver package.
HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X<---
Once installed, ensure that Apple OS is up to date too. Add the printer in System Preferences> Printers & Scanners, either via USB or Bonjour Multifunction.
Hope this help, let me know!

Blink the catridge led one by one in officejet 7000 wide format

When send the test page the printer become offline and the led of catridge is blink one by one.Please suggest to how to resolve it.

Hello , I may be able to help you with the blinking lights on your Officejet 7000 wide format printer. Using the Blinking Lights on the HP Officejet 7000 (E809a) document I found out that the light sequence you described is related to the printhead installation. To make it easier for I have copied the suggested steps here for you; Solution One: Check the printhead installation
Use the following steps to make sure the printhead is correctly installed.
Step one: Remove the printheadMake sure that the product is on.Lift the top cover. The carriage moves to the center of the product.
Figure : Open the top cover
Wait until the carriage is idle and silent.Disconnect the power cord from the back of the product.Remove the cartridges. Press the tab on each cartridge, and then remove each cartridge from its slot.
NOTE:Do not leave the cartridges outside the product longer than 30 minutes. Doing so can result in damage to both the product and the cartridges.Lift the latch handle on the carriage until it stops.
Figure : Lift the latch handle
Lift the printhead straight up to remove it.
Figure : Remove the printhead
Step two: Reinstall the printhead
Reinsert the printhead. Make sure the green and purple blocks on the sides of the printhead align with the corresponding color blocks on the carriage; green to green, purple to purple.
Figure : Insert the printhead
Carefully lower the latch handle before reinserting the cartridges.
NOTE:Leaving the latch handle raised can result in incorrectly seated cartridges and printing issues. The latch must remain down to correctly install the cartridges.Figure : Lower the latch handle
Reinstall the cartridges. Using the colored shape icons for help, slide the cartridges into their appropriate slots until they snap into place and are seated firmly in the slot.Close the top cover.Try printing again. You could also try the steps in 'Printhead Problem' or 'Printhead Appears to be Missing or Damaged' Displays for HP Officejet 7000 Wide Format Printers. If the issue continues, I would Contact HP Support for further assistance. Fill in the model number and the form to receive a case number. You can view all other ways of contacting HP from their list of Support Options. Please let me know if any of these steps resolved your issue, or if there is anything else I can do to help. Thanks,
