HP Officejet Pro 8000 Printer series - A809 Slow Response to Word Print

Hello,
When I try to print from a Word Document the HP Officejet Pro 8000 Printer series - A809 Printer takes on average 1:24 to respond and print. When I go into the printer's settings and print a test page the Printer takes about 3 seconds to respond and print the document. The Printer has a Dual Side Printing add on and the optional paper tray.
Do you know what could cause such a long delay for the printer, especially when it only happens with word and other Microsoft Works Programs?
-Captain Kemp

I would also like to add that I am on a Mac OS X Version 10.6.4 with plenty of processing speed and Memory in case that would be useful in helping me

  • HP Officejet Pro 8000 warm up time?

    I am interested in the HP Officejet Pro 8000 wireless.  However, many reviews for this printer mentions the long warm up time everytime they turn on their printer.  I contacted HP chat tech support and chat sales support many times and they kept saying that there is no warm up time and that I can print immediately without delay. 
    Currently I have an HP Deskjet 920c from early 2000 and it works great.  I turn it on, click print and it prints immediately with no warm up time or delay.  However,  I am looking for a printer that prints much faster and the Officejet Pro 8000 seems like what I need.  However, if there is a warm up time, then that just defeats the purpose of saving time.
    Anyone with this printer know if there is a warm up time when the printer is turned on?

    I just bought the Officejet pro 8000 (not the wireless one, but USB connected) to replace my 5550c deskjet that died. I do switch it off with all other hardware at night, because the power plugs are all on the same surge protector power strip, which has an on/off switch. When powering up again, it takes more or less the same time as my PC takes to fully boot up to a useable desktop (~2 minutes). So it's not a problem for me.
    The official advice is not to switch it off as in sleep mode it uses very little power. First page print from sleep mode (which it returns to if you don't use it for a while) takes about 10 to 20 seconds. After that it is very fast. I have found it to be a very good printer.

    My printer is HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809 Series and I don't see it listed. How can I print from iPad?

    You can use 3rd party software such as Print n Share if you have a PC or Printopia if you have a Mac.
    Or you can check HPs site and see what they have available.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 A809 printing line feed page after every job

    I've searched and I have found this is a known issue - that there is supposed to be an update to fix this. I can't find this update anywhere for the HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809. It is connected to the computer via a USB cable. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, changing the print heads, doing diagnostics on it, ..., and I still get the line feed page printing after every print job. Help!

    Hey there @tjkalb, I hope you are doing well
    I read your post about how a "line feed" page prints after each print job from your Officejet 8000, running Windows 7. I have some steps and questions for you to try to get started. Afterwards please get back to me with the results and we will go from there if needed.
    1. Does the "line feed" page print after print jobs from all programs, or are you finding it prints when you print from somewhere specifically?
    2. Try a Clean Boot on your PC, restart the PC, and try printing from Notepad to see if the line feed prints.
    3. Print a Print Quality Page from the printer and examine it for any defects and to see if the line feed page still prints afterwards:
    source
    4. Click here and try download the "Updates" for this printer: HP Officejet Pro 8000 Printer - A809a
    5. Create another User Account profile on your computer and try printing from there to see if the line feed page prints from another profile.

  • Officejet Pro 8000 slow to select for color prints

    I just installed Officejet Pro 8000 and immediately noticed how slowly the printer is selected in printer options box when I am doing color printing. It takes about 30 sec-1 minute to finalize the selection of this as my printer for the job. I have a networked color laser jet and a networked b&w laser jet also installed that are immediately selected when I choose them from the list.
    I have been testing this in Word 2007 and have noticed that when I select the officejet, the bar at the bottom of the word screen says "connecting to printer" - this seems to be the source of the slowness. I have the latest driver installed and I do not have this problem when printing regular b&w docs on this printer.
    Is there a problem here or is this normal <SLOW> color print operation?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the advice to contact HP tech support!
    I have tried in multiple ways since November 2009 to contact HP, when I got the first (of 4) printers. The first 3 printers was subsequently replaced.
    Finally in late June 2010 I got the message that there was coming an firmware update for Windows, but not for Mac's. The firmware should improve among other things the paper pick up (load paper issue) and the print-heads life.
    I have applied the Windows firmware on the printer from a pc, but still seems to have load-paper issues, even using HP Bright White paper, when printing from Mac's. I have not tested the printing from a pc, but assumes that a firmware upgrade the printer, and are not specific to a certain OS.

  • Hp officejet pro 8000 a809 installed locally on vista business with driver 8.12.2008cant share to xp

    My customer has a HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809 installed locally on Vista Business with driver 8.12.2008 He wants to share this for use on the XP PC but after installation on XP and trying to go into printer properties the message comes up "The HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809 Series' printer driver is not installed on this computer. etc etc Do you want to install the driver now? It doesnt matter if you go through the installation process or not, when you try and print a test page you get "Test page failed to print. Would you like to troubleshoot etc"
    I have tried installing the XP drivers locally AND on the Vista PC but with no luck. On the shared tab under "additional drivers" there are only Vista drivers listed.
    Any advice gratefully received.

    Depending on the model of the unit it may not be wireless. if it says A809n then it is a wireless model, but the A809a model is not.  http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01659070.pdf Here is the manual for that unit in case you need it.

  • Duplex printing with officejet pro 8000

    I am using this officejet pro 8000 to print up some newsletters.  When printing a two sided copy (duplex printing) something happens which changes my border setting.  Printing the exact same document, but electing one-sided copy renders a perfect border.  I would not have a problem copying just one side, then re-loading those in order to make two-sided copies, but the friction caused by the ink on the pages causes mulitple sheets to feed at the same time, jamming the printer.  Has HP ever come up with a fix for this?  I have seen this problem on the net, but the best folks have done (that I have seen) is to upload drivers for older machines.  This has rendered good borders on duplex prints, but diminishes the quality of the print copy.  Whatcha think?

  • Network: limit printing access ( hp officejet pro 8000 )

    Hello!
    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809 connected to a LAN with approx. 100 PC's. It's not possible to attach it to my PC, because I want to share it and my PC is not running all the time.
    Is there a possibility to restrict the access to the printer (MAC-filter, password) so that not everyone may print on my device? I have no access to the DHCP-Server or any other LAN facilities.
    I already disabled WS Discover and WSD Print in the networking settings, but i would like to get some more security...
    Any suggestions would be appreciated
    Edit: Some additional information about the current situation
    - Printer is accessed from 2 Win7-Notebooks and my Ubuntu 11.10 desktop
    - Printer is plugged to the LAN, has a fixed IP adress and is working correctly

  • Paper mismatch error with HP officejet pro 8000 (A809)

    officejet pro 8000 A809 wireless -wrong size paper
    running OSX 10.7.3 on a macbook pro 2.3GHz Intel i5
    this printer has been running fine for a couple/three years now.. no problem when I got the new macbook last summer, or when i upgraded to Lion.
    Now it has started getting confused as to what the paper size is - i get this error:
    Paper Size Error: The paper size selected in the printer driver software does not match the paper size in the printer IN tray.
    but only SOMETIMES. Like right now after screaming at it for an hour, unplugging and rebooting, etc., I sat down to write this and needed to get the exact wording for the error, so i told it to print. And it printed just fine. So I tried the next page I need to print, and I got the error again. I didn't even TOUCH the printer in between. The paper is letter size, it's always letter size. It's in landscape mode, but it has been for the whole morning, while I've been printing out certificates. Now it won't do it anymore. I am at a complete loss. I have rebooted my computer 3 times now, and unplugged the printer countless times. HELP!!!!!
    It did this about 3 weeks ago and gave me fits for a couple days, and then magically started working fine again. I've deleted the USB and Bonjour versions of the printer from system prefs and re-added them. More than once. ;-)
    Any ideas?

    Though a day late & dollar short, I too encountered this issue with Yosemite.
    After removing the paper & restarting the printer, I determined the issue to be related to the document. The document I was printing was sent to me from an international corporation. Which I figure was using a non-US paper format or a larger page format for the document.
    I tried to change those within the document & was unsuccessful.
    I copied the content to a new document & it printed fine.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 A809n print driver

    I have a MacBook Pro running OS 10.7.5.  For an unexplained reason, I lost the capability to print to the subject HP wireless printer.  I opened System Preferences and clicked on Print & Scan.  I deleted the driver entry corresponding to this printer and requested to add a new printer .  It immediately found the A809n printer (my wife running a MBP with Mountain Lion can print to this printer without problem).  I get a message stating:
    Setting up 'OfficeJet Pro 8000 A809 [2F3790]...'
    Software for this printer is available from Apple.
    Would you like to download and install it?
    with buttons for  Cancel  and  Download & Install.
    When I click Download & Install, I get a screen:
    Setting up 'OfficeJet Pro 8000 A809 [2F3790]...'
    Finding software
    It progresses through about 25% of the % accomplished meter, then stalls.  Eventually, I get the message:
    Setting up 'OfficeJet Pro 8000 A809 [2F3790]...'
    The software for this printer is currently unavailable.
    Please contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software.
    Of course, when you go to HP to download a driver for this printer, it directs you to use the OS Print & Scan System Preferences which produces the failure mode described above.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    You might try rebooting you computer first. Then go to the Apple menu and select Software Update... and if HP Printer Drivers v2.14 is listed, select it and update. If it's not listed, you can manually download and install from here. Afterwards, try adding the printer again.
    If the problem persists, you might consider resetting the print system.

  • Unable to Delete Older Printing Presets -- Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Printer with OSX v10.6.4

    I find that, after upgrading to the latest Officejet Pro 8000 A809 (989005) printer driver, I am not able to delete Presets that were created with earlier versions of the Apple/HP supplied printer driver.  I am using OSX v10.6.4 and v2.0.3 of the HP Printer Driver.
    When I try to print from an application the Presets that had been previously created appear on the menu, but 'Delete" is not available as an option for any of those older Presets.
    If I create a new Preset, it appears in a section of the menu listing below the Presets created by earlier versions, and the Delete option is available to remove any Presets made with v2.0.3 of the driver.
    I would like to delete the earlier Presets, since are no longer necessary given the changes that have been introduced in the latest versions of the HP printer driver.

    If you have HP software for pre-10.6 Snow Leopard, you must uninstall the software using the 'scrubber' option.  Also, you do not need the hp software at all - both print and scan drivers are built into the OS.  I'd recommend uninstalling, but make sure to do it this way:
    Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
    Click on Continue
    Highlight your device on the left pane
    Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall
    There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
    Click Continue and let it finish
    Restart your Mac
    Now, run a Software Update.
    Next, remove and re-install the printer in System Preferences, Print & Fax.
    You do not need the software now since Snow Leopard has both print & scan drivers built-in. Scan from Preview or Image Capture apps. Scanning from the front panel of the printer does not yet work.

  • Constant Printing Restart on a networked HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909N Series printer

    Hello,
    I'm curious if anyone has run into this problem before.  I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909n Series printer that I have setup as a network printer.  This has been accomplished through a print server.
    I installed the printer's drivers based upon the cd that came with the printer, in the box.
    The problem is that whenever a user prints, say it's a simply one page document... the printer will repeatedly print that single page until it runs out of paper.  I have stopped/restarted the print spooler.  I've rebooted the printer and the print server.  I have deleted the drivers and readded them.  I've tried installing drivers from HP's website and then installing those.  I have attempted to delete the printer from the server and start from scratch.
    When I monitor the print queue, I can see the service restart after each document prints.  I can't figure out how to get this to stop.
    Does anyone have a suggestion; or has anyone run into this problem?  I'm not sure which forum to put this in.  I chose the Networks/Wireless forum, even though this is running on a wired network with wireless disabled.
    I certainly appreciate any asistance. 
    -Craig

    It ended up being an issue with the port.  I had used the same port as the last HP printer that I replaced.  This printer needs to run on a TCP/IP port, and not an HP port.
    Problem solved.
    Oh, and it was wired, with wireless disabled.

  • Tutorial: Print index cards without removing paper from tray for Officejet Pro 8000.

    The HP Officejet Pro 8000 and Officejet Pro 8000 wireless do not have a slot for inserting index cards and envelopes.
    If you are wanting to print index cards without removing the paper from the tray, follow these steps.
    The steps below are for 3 x 5 index cards.
    1.) Open Microsoft Word
    2.) Go to the Insert tab and insert a rectangle shape
    3.) Draw a rectangle of any size
    4.) Right click on the rectangle and select "Format Autoshape..."
    5.) Under the Size tab, enter 5" for the height and 3" for the width (make sure "Absolute" is selected)
    6.) Under the Layout tab, select "Center" for the horizontal alignment
    7.) Click OK
    8.) Use the keyboard up arrow key to move the rectangle to the top of the page.  Make sure the top edge of the rectangle touches the top edge of the document.
    9.) Print this document on plain 8.5" x 11" paper
    10.) When you want to print an index card, place this 8.5x11 document in the paper tray printed side face up.  Then place an index card over the rectangle and align with the border of the rectangle.  After you print the index card, remove the 8.5x11 paper for the next time you need to print an index card.
    Note 1: This are USA instructions.  If you live in the UK or other countries you may have different paper size standards.

    I can't tell you how much I HATE this printer.  I will never buy an HP product again.  BROTHERS printers are simply and easy to use.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809

    after installing Snow Leopard I have been getting error messages saying the software for the printer was installed wrongly. I am then invited to authenticate, and it runs off and 'repairs permissions' then prints.. Doesn't say what permissions and the time taken is too short for it to be a full permissions repair.
    The printer software, aside fom the initial install with Snow Leopard and the variousO.S. updates, was installed through the Software Update sub menu. I assume it is not a matter of  user privileges though I nearly always run in a non admin and authenticate. I have a few times had issues with apps and only got by them by installing in root, but that seems not what is involved as a set of 'permissions' was apparently being repaired.
    Incidentally I have just been ploughing through an 11 page posting on HP printers where some seemeed more intent on propounding canaon law than helping, so don't bother with a recitation of  dogma such as on not using root.
    I have just taken a download of the HP drivers from the Apple site so could delete the `hp drivers (If I can track them down) though I would like an opinion on the best way to then re install them. By the wy my OS is now 10.8.3
