HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless: HP printer unable to connect to wireless router.

Installing new printer, getting error msg saying HP printer unable to connect to wireless router. MAC address filtering may be enabled on your wireless router which can prevent HP printer from connecting to your wireless network during setup.
SOLUTION says: If MAC address filtering is enabled and you would like to keep it enabled, you must add the MAC addressof your printer to the list of permitted devices for your wireless router before continuing.
My router is WD My Net N900 Router. MAC filtering is diabled. My security mode is WPA/WPA2 Personal.
I have run out of ideas to try and fix the issues, would appreciate some help.
Thanks,

Hi Jamshidk
I am surprised you are getting that message and you checked the router settings and it is showing that the Mac Filtering is disabled.
I would suggest connecting the printer to the router with a ethernet cable to get a valid IP address and then setup the wireless.
Print a configuration report.

Type the IP address from the configuration page in the address bar into internet explorer browser. This will open the embedded web server for the printer. Click on the Networking tab, on the left hand side select wireless. After this is setup and applied, disconnect the ethernet cable.
Should be on the wireless network. Takes about 1 minute.
Run the add printer wizard.
Go to start, devices and printers and select add a printer. (Win 7)
Test the printer.
If you need more assistance just let me know.

Hp officejet pro 8610 | does not print and cannot connect it wireless

Just bought the following printer: Officejet Pro 8610. Installed it with the cd. Installation on the printer goes well, connected to network, strong reception. 1) Cannot make a wireless connection from laptop to printer. Followed all the steps, uninstalled and reinstalled with software from hp site 7 hours worth. Router on/off, firewall on/off etc. 2) Installed not wireless but with a usb cable, this can be done however scanner and copier work but no pinting. Testprint also doesn't work, the internal test print does. Scan doctor said that it was a software problem that could not be solved by said doctor and to uninstall and reinstall the software. Freaking sick of doing that as it does not work. Also installed the basic driver to see if this works, same story, no printing. Laptop is from 2007 with windows XP. I really need to print for work and cannot spend another full day troubleshooting this monster. Either wireless or with usb cable, i dont care....... Please help!!! Thank you Mar

OfficeJet Pro 8000 no borderless printing on card stock via Windows driver

I just setup the OfficeJet Pro 8000 wireless printer the other day with the intent to print borderless cards on card stock. I can print anything to it without issue however if I attempt to use borderless mode the Windows driver does NOT allow any paper type other than photo or glossy borchure types.
If I print anyway on card stock it looks ink soaked and muddy. If I print on their recommeded types it looks fine but a card needs heavy card stock, not med or light paper weights.
If I do not select borderless, the print (on card stock) has a dredded border but the print quality is fine.
The driver will not allow even a "normal" or "draft" borderless on standard paper types. Is there a hack or modification to allow me to print borderless on any paper?

HP officejet Pro 8000 Can't print when color cart is empty enven when printing in grey scale

I do not use color in my printing. Nonetheless when the printer says my color cartdridge is empty I can not print. I spent a $100 on color cartdridge and never used them. They now show empy and I can't print. Is there a work around or should I just junk this printer. Thanks for your help.
Bob

Hello Bobmcclammy,
I can understand the frustration when the printer, in your case the Officejet Pro 8000, stops and tells you to change inks you are not even using. I too have fought with this in the past. Unfortunately, there is no "work around" for such an issue, at least that I have been able to find.
Even when printing black text only, for example, a resume, the printer will be using a subtle amount of color as a base. Printhead maintenance also will chip away at the ink, this is to ensure the ink is not drying up within the print system. This information will explain more: Ink Usage in Inkjet Printers.
What I have done in order to get the most out of the printer ink is, set the printer in a black only grey scale mode. This needs to be set in the printing preferences in the print driver installed on the computer.
The inks will still need to be replaced, but it should help for the future.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 does not print black

Hi We bought an HP office pro 8000 printer which we have had in the box in a cupboard for the last 14 months (never been opened), I have finally got around to getting it out of the box ans setting it up, however it does not seem to print black only the other colours. The black ink looks fine and I can see it comes out of the cart. HP will not help with the problem as the printer is out of warranty even though it has never been used. Anyone got any idea's why it will not print black
Thanks
Colin

Hi Colin & SubChi
Are you able to generate a PQ Diagnostic page? Any black showing up?
Have you tried running a printhead clean?

HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fn Color Multifunction Printer unable to connect to webapps, webforms

Hello,
I'm able to print to my printer - HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw Color Multifunction Printer - over my local network and the printer is connected to the router via wireless connection. No connectivity issues as far as the local network goes..
The problem I'm having is that for the past week (perhaps longer but I only noticed it a week ago) I'm unable to download the web forms or web apps from the printer's screen menu. I keep getting the message: Unable to connect to the network, please check your network connection etc etc etc.
I successfully printed to my hpeprint email address, so at least the printer is connected to the eprint network, but still can't access/download any of the web forms or web apps.
Has anyone experiencd this? I'm really stuck, can't figure out what the issue could be seeing as how the printer seems to be working over the local network and am able to print documents that I send to me hp e-print email address. Any suggestions or assistance would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance... Robert

You're lucky to have SOME ePrint functionality left! I got a new m177fw from HP and the printer simply won't enable ePrint. I get a constant connecting screen or connection error screen. There aren't any problems with my network and I spoke with a HP customer service representative over the phone and it seems they are clueless that ePrint is currently broken on HP's end.

HP Officejet Pro 8500A A910a can't automatically connect to wireless network

    Product Name and Number
     HP Officejet Pro 8500A A910a
     Netgear DGN2200 Wireless Router
Operating System
    Windows 7 32-bit
I experience frequent power outs and whenever power is restored I have to reconnect the printer through WPS. I have followed all the instructsons here to connect automatically and I have added the wireless network details in the printers embedded server but still no luck. Anything else I can do?
Alternatively I was thinking of connecting the printer to the router via ethernet. But how then do I get my wireless laptops to communicate with the printer to print and scan?

HI,
Not sure if this is fixable after an power outtage, but connecting the printer via ethernet to the router keeps printing and scanning over the network the same, as long as your wireless laptops are in the same network. After connecting the printer just reinstall the drivers on your laptop so that it gets the correct ip adres and everything should be fine.

New Officejet Pro 6830 will not print via USB connection. It scans great to PC. It copies.

New HP Officejet Pro 6830 for user to have local USB printer/scanner at desk. User runs win 7 64 bit on a network. Raninstall through setup.exe. Followed steps, connected printer via USB when it said to and it detected it and finished install.You can use HP Scan software and it scans to the PC perfectly. It will not print from any application or even a testpage from the Printer Properties page. If you go to the maintenance application it will print status and test page. If you run HP Scan and Print doctor it does it's thing, gives all Green Check marks and lets you print a test page fine, but it stillwill not print even a test page from the printer properties page (start/Devices and Pritners/right click on Officejet Pro 6830, select Printer Properties for Officejet Pro 6830 (not the Fax 6830), and click print test page. It does not seethe printer. It is a networked PC and has network defined HP network printers as well but user wanted a printer/scanner at his desk. I actually took the unit and connected to my laptop which is same win 7 64 bit platform and it does the same thing. I disable the virus protection to do the install so that is not an issue. It clearly sees and installs the printer, andlike I said the HP Scan works fine so it is connected via the USB to the PC, but it will not print. I have tried to install from the CD, and removed device and tried to install from the new downloaded drivers as well and it just does not want to print.I have conected to different USB ports, and like I said actually tried it on a different PC and had same results. Guidance certainly would be appreciated.

Hi , I see by your post that you can scan, but are unable to print over the USB connection. I would be happy to help you.
I have provided a document for setting Security permissions for printing to see if that will help. If the issue persists, reinstall the printer on the Administrator Account to see if you have the same results.Unlock Hidden Administrator Account and install the printer on this account: Go to your Start menu and under the 'search programs and files' box type CMD. CMD will populate as a search option above, just right click on it and 'run as administrator'. Once CMD (Command Prompt) opens, type net user administrator /active:yes and hit enter. Next, close CMD and restart your computer. When your computer comes on log into the new account that should show. It will be called Administrator and will not have a password on it. If your computer automatically logs into your account after restart than go to your start menu click the arrow beside 'shutdown' and choose 'switch user'. Now log into the Administrator account we just unlocked.Under the Administrator account, install the printer software. Test the printer. To turn off the Admin account start back at step 1 and type in net user administrator /active:no.Please let me know the outcome. If you appreciate my efforts, please click the 'Thumbs up' button below. Thank You.

HP Officejet Pro 8000 Will Not Print

Hello, I have had a persistent problem with this printer which appears that it loses connectivity, however a diagnostic page revealed that it was connected to my wireless router and ready to go! I don't know what to do and am getting extremely frustrated with this printer. It was working fine, albeit I don't use it that often, and when I went to use it recently it didn't print and I noticed it was out of two different inks. I replaced the ink, printed a test page, and tried to reprint. No luck! It says there was an error printing but won't say what kind of error. The computer recognizes the printer, it is set to default, it is NOT set to work offline, what else should I do? Thanks for any help you can give to resolve the current situation, and to determine why this constantly happens!

OfficeJet Pro 8000 Extra paper print

I'm having an issue with getting my printer to act correctly. Each time I print something I get a extra page that prints out as well as another sheet get pulled up into the rollers in which is the blank sheet that is printed first.
Please help me with this fix!

Just a thought: Have you perhaps set the printer to print a separator page? That would print the separator page between jobs?

Can i force a officejet pro 8000 a809 to print black and white when a color cartrigde is empty?

I am trying to get two text document printed and I get an No ink/toner message on the top the printer que window. It is the Yellow ink cartridge, can I bypass this and force it to print in black and white only?

I know these posts are old, but.
To force the print to print even though some carts are empty or expired. Turn the printer off. Then hold the feed button while turning the printer on. Keep the feed button pressed for about 4-5 seconds after powering on the printer.

HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809 not printing blue

I've tried the suggestions here with no luck: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01962224&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
If you look at figure 11, group 2 after the black and gray block shows only a trace of blue, The 3rd and 4th blocks look pretty good, but the last one is shades of yellow. I've tried a full cleaning cycle twice and have unplugged and re-plugged. Oddly, the last time I cleaned, the intermediate cleaning results for blue look worse that the first phase of cleaning. Also, if I print a full page, blue shows on the top half then fading out toward the bottom. At this point I'm just wasting ink and paper.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi samsquared,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I have read your post on the dimishing print quality of the blue cartridge, and I would be more than happy to be of assistance!
In addition to faded colour, what does the quality look like on Test Pattern 3? Are there white or black lines going horizontal through the gray bars?
Since you have already performed two printhead cleanings with diminishing results, I would recommend replacing your magenta/cyan printhead. This step can be found in the Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues document under "step 3" of "Solution 4."
If replacing the printhead does not resolve your issue, please call our technical support at 1-800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region please click the link below to get the support number for your region.
