HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a Print Cancelled when printing borderless A4

Hi
We have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a that normally works very well. We need to print a brochure in full colour on A4 borderless and the printer starts printing and then cancels the job itself after printing about a fifth of the page. I have tried all different printing options and it works fine if there is a print margin but will not work for borderless. This applies to printing from all different applications (Microsoft and Adobe).
We urgently need to print the brochure so a speedy resolution would be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance.

I am having a similar problem printing a two-sided 3-fold brochure in full color. The first side prints normally, but the second side prints two fo the three panels and then printing cancels on the third. I am printing from a Windows 7 laptop over a Wifi connection onto an HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless printer. A solution would be much appreciated!

I have a MacBook (the white one) and use a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a printer and my Safari always put 150% size as default. Wy not 100%?
When I use Firefox the default size is 100%. When I use Pages, also runs good (100%). Only in Safari, and Mail too, appears 150% as the default size.
How can I change it to 100% in both?

Hi,
The problem seems to lie in the installer, which has an unusual bad behaviour. The installer puts the 8500 a909a in the list of USB bootable devices. (Not good!!!)
When the printer is disconnected it isn't a problem. When the printer is connected the computer tries to boot from the printer and the computer hangs.
When I found the printer in the BIOS list of USB bootable devices I DISABLED that item in that list. Then it booted normally.
But now the BIOS takes an extra 30 seconds or so but boot up seems to be preceeding normally.
The guys on the CHAT and PHONE lines didn't even imagine the installer might be a problem so their advice was useless. They were blaming the computer. More importanly, they didn't have a way to escalate the problem. They had no capacity to respond in a flexible manner. It was like dealing with unhelpful staff in the county clerk's office.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a Series email address to print from an ipad

The A909 series of Officejet 8500 printer's don't work with ePrint. You can use the ePrint Home and Biz app for Android and Semien devices, or the ePrint app for iOS devices. You cannot, however, use ePrint itself. Sorry for the confusion. Below are links to the ePrint Mobile apps compatablity list and FAQ. Hope that helps.

Your response to my question seems to reflect a rude attitude simply because I asked this question. In response to your response, I have no manual, and the first place I went for info was the HP website - and I got you.
There are three things that I need from you, and none of them is a sarcastic rude attitude. Please provide me with the following information:

Officejet Pro 8500 A909a - setup can't find printer, HP Network Diagnostic does

Windows XP SP3
HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a CB022A
DLM1FN1006BR
I have been fighting with this printer for the past week, put at least 40 hours into trying to fix this alone. I will never buy another HP product for my office again.
Windows can find the printer on the network. HP Network Diagnostic can find the printer on the network. But the latest version of the installation for the printer, that I downloaded from the website last week, refuses to find the printer on the network. I would do this without the HP software if I could but I need the functionality of hitting the scan button on the printer and it converting those scanned documents to PDF.
Here's a list of things I've tried:
Finding the printer by IP in the setup (doesn't find it)
Using the HP Scrub tool for this printer at all levels (L1-L4) MULTIPLE times followed by deleting the files in %temp% and then reinstalled the full software package.
Disabled all services and startup items.
Disabled the Windows firewall. Tried with Windows firewall installed as well.
Restarted the HP services in services.msc
Updated MSIEXEC.
Un registered Re-registered the msiexec
Re-registered ATL.dll
Ran subinacl to make sure all permissions are set properly.
What I don't understand is why the HP Network Diagnostic can find it and the install can't. It seems to me that without installing all the HP software, I have no way of using the scan button to scan documents - the scanner just says "Select Computer" followed by "No Scan Options".
Can anyone tell me what I've missed in troubleshooting?

Bump? Anyone have any sort of advice? Or is everyone seeing that I've followed every step in the HP Support site and nobody knows what else to suggest?

HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a Series - Not printing Cyan ink

Hi,
I am having an issue with my HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a Series (about 4-5 years old) where it has stopped printing Cyan completely. I have had this issue about 2-3 months ago which was solved by cleaning the cyan and magenta print head. After cleaning the print head this time it has not solved the issue.
If I dab the print head onto a lint cloth cyan and magenta ink comes out so I don't think it's an issue with the ink getting to the printhead so have ruled dried up pipes out.
I have done the standard troubleshooting with no luck. According to the print quality diagnostics page all cartridges are at atleast 30% and above and Printhead health claims to be 'Good'.
This all leads me to believe it must be some kind of technical issue rather than physical, something wrong with the printhead chip not allowing it to dispense Cyan ink?

Hello @12MattC,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are not able to print in Cyan ink on your HP Officejet 8500 A909a, usually you can clean the printheads and the Cyan will come back, but this time that did not help.
I would like you to make sure you complete ALL steps listed here: Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP Officejet 6500A e-All-in... (Printer listed is the 6500, same steps apply to the 8500)
Please let me know the outcome, if you are still unable to print in Cyan ink call our technical support at 800-474-6836 to see what options they have available for you. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a won't let computer boot up

I have an Officejet Pro 8500 A909a series connected to my HP computer running Windows XP Home. It was
working perfectly. Now it won't let the computer boot while it's connected to the computer. I can unplug the
USB cable from the computer and it boots fine. I can then plug the USB back in and the printer prints fine. I
ruled out bad USB ports as everything else USB works fine in the same ports. I put a brand new cable on and
had same results. I rebooted the printer and computer, with same results. I uninstalled the printer and drivers and
reintsalled with same results. Computer freezes at the screen where it askes you to use the up and down arrows
to select OS or wait for it to count down to 0. With printer unplugged it boots perfectly. This just started about
4 days ago. New printer. HP Support was at a loss when I did the live chat. Can anyone help?

Wired Connection problem on Officejet Pro 8500 a909a

I am having what seems to be to be a strange problem.
I have lost connectivity to my printer (Officejet Pro 8500 a909a) through the network from my Windows 7 64bit computer. I found that it worked fine if I connect throught he USB port. Today, I have been trying to get back to being able to use it through the network.
I am able to get to the configuration on the printer through the network, at http://192.168.0.105 and that works fine.
I have downloaded the most recent software and when I run it, it doesn't detect the printer, even if I enter the ip address in the advanced search box.
I have downloaded the HP Print and Scan Doctor, and when it runs, I can see the printer, however i'm not sure why it shows 2 lines:
When I choose the last line and press next, all it does is goes to this page:
Your help is appreciated.

What operating system does the computer use?
What happens when you choose the network-wired option on that last screen? Since the printer is already installed, the software thinks you are wanting to install the printer again and presents the last screen.
Your printer is listed twice with two separate IP addresses. I suspect the issue may be that the IP address is changing to frequently for the detection protocol to keep up with it.
If the printer is on the network and you can access it by entering the printer's IP address in a web browser, you can try setting a static IP address for the wired connection. Click on the Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection document from HP. The document is for wireless connections, but the same steps can be applied for a wired connection by substituting wired for any section that designates going to the wireless section of the printer.

Hello there mayberrysheri, welcome to the forums
I noticed your posts about the ink cartridge or printhead issues you are experiencing with your Officejet 8500 model. My best suggestion to you, would be to have you try all of the steps in the guide below for this issue.
I hope this helps!
'The Following Printhead Appears to be Missing or Damaged' or 'The Following Printhead has a Problem...
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions: click here.

Officejet Pro 8500 A909a WIN7-64 Won't Recognize Scanner

I purchased an HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a, Model No. CB022A, Ser. No. [edited Serial Number by Moderator] in 2010. Everything has been
fine until last week when I flashed the firmware update DLM1FN1344AR from the updates section on your website for
my model all-in-one printer. The only problem, and what precipitated my installation of this updated driver software and firmware, is that recently when I diconnect the printer from my Dell laptop so I can take the laptop with me to meetings, I have to reinstall the driver software so the laptop will recognize the printer. Now everything seems to work except the scanner. My computer will not recognize the scanner from the HP Solution Center, even though I can use the webscan utility to scan, as well as the buttons on the front of the printer (as long as it saves to a connected flashdrive) and my computer shows that the device driver software is installed and the device is installed, as is the digital imaging monitor. Instead, I get an error message giving me this error:
"8,[(1,0,-2147221164)]" and saying that the scanner device was not found.
I have tried every suggested solution offered in the HP Solution Center's "Guided Solution" and in HP's online troubleshooting tab. I have uninstalled the device, as well as the latest (full) driver software, more than a
dozen times, using the "corporate scrubber" deep uninstall to do so (yes, all levels). Nothing seems to work and I
suspect that the driver software is, for some reason, not installing the scanner driver. I am using Windows 7 Home
Premium (with all the latest updates installed) and the printer is networked using a wired Ethernet connection.
I have also tried turning off the printer and my router several times, but that does not work either. I have tried
the Print and Scan Doctor tool, the "Windows 7 Critical Update to Enhance Reliability of Network Connection," I've
deleted all the files in the temp folder, and I've also tried the bdp_scan fix suggested by Stephen McMaster at
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/The-HP-imaging-device-was-not-found-Er... None of those worked for me.
I'm hoping you can help fix the scanner portion of my all-in-one printer so that it will run from the HP Solution Center once again. Perhaps there is a separate driver file for the scanner, besides bdp_scan, that I can download and install so that the HP Solution Center will recognize the scanner? Should I try connecting with a USB cable, reinstalling the full driver file, then install again using my Ethernet connection? It seems that that is the only thing I haven't tried, but if the drivers are different, I'm not sure that will resolve the problem. More than one computer, on more than one level, use the same printer, so I really want to keep it networked.

Hi Cowboy,
So, none of the other scanning methods worked for you that were listed in my last message?
Could you try creating another User Account on your PC with Admin Privileges and try installing on the new account, and let me know what happens?

Hp officejet pro 8500 premier all-in-one printer

The above printer is 1 1/2 years old and it has stopped printing. When the printing became light, I installed new print cartridges less than a week ago. Now, after five days, the printer is consistently cleaning the print heads and aligning the print heads and my documents are not being printed. And, what is most frustrating, during all the cleaning and aligning, all of my new ink is gone and I'm receiving a message replace ink cartridges.
Re: Problem with HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer: cleans printheads every time it's turned on

Well,
to this is say, "get used to it", or throw it away. Many, Many, Many people have had trouble with this printer.
The following are common and frustrating issues that this printer exhibits on a regular basis:
1. Constant Self-Checking (usually every 20-30 pages of print)
2. Very persistant Printhead Cleaning/Checking, (Every startup and after about 20-30 pages printed).
3. Worn-out printheads (usually within 1,100 to 1,500 pages printed).
4. Paper mis-feeds.
5. Paper jams.
6. Nearly impossible to use once the printer reports ink-depletion.
7. Nearly impossible to use CIS Ink for larger print jobs.
8. Ink and printheads "expire" regardless of when they are placed into service. (get a deal on ink or printheads last year? Too bad, the warranty is already expired, most likely).
In short, this printer is the most EXPENSIVE printer I've ever owned, and the most frustrating to use.
I have just over 2,000 pages of regular text printed matter with very little color, and have already gone through 4 sets of ink, and 2 sets of PrintHeads.
Although it's true that you can leave the unit on, and let it go into standby, you should NOT be punished with constant and time-consuming "self-checking" everytime it's turned on, or prints a handful of pages, BUT, it does NOT appear that HP will be standing behind this printer disaster. AND, to make things worse, they've gone on to redesign it, giving it a different look, and so there are about 6 different models/versions of the OfficeJet Pro 8500.
Anyone needing a reliable print/fax/scan/copy solution should look beyond this printer, because it will leave you wanting more, and spending more than you ever imagined you would have to on a late model printer.ro
What is going on? Why does it just automatically clean and align? I also get alignment failed messages. Any suggestiions?

rammerjammer,
Thank you for bringing this to my attention, your feedback is very important and I want to do my best to help. To answer what is going on, since the printing became light, started cleaning itself constantly, and fails the alignment, the printhead was damaged. Click here to see and use the Limited Warranty for HP Ink Cartridges, Printheads, and Related Supplies. There are many ways to contact HP. The number to call is 1-800-474-6836 for HP and Compaq products for Home & Home Office use. If you no longer have a warranty with the printer you can still use the warranty that comes with the printhead or ink cartridges.
If you have a carepack with the printer that extended the one year warranty then the troubleshooting will be covered along with the printer if the printer needs replacing. Check product warranty here, see HP Out of Warranty Support Options for Select HP Consumer Printers here.
To order a new printhead you can go to HP Sure Supply and enter your printer or go to the HP Parts Store and order the printhead by part number C4900A for the Black and yellow and part number C4901A for the Cyan Magenta. These printheads go by region also so be sure you are using the right region, these were found using the United States region.
The HP Officejet Pro 8500 Premier All-in-One printer has separated the ink cartridges from the printheads. The ink cartridges are on the lower left and the removable print heads are on the carriage inside the printer. The printer goes through a calibration process when turned on that will use ink. Leave the printer on and let it go into stand by mode. This type of printer is energy star efficient and made to calibrate on start up and be left on. Allow the printer to clean or calibrate only if the printer must. If it starts cleaning a lot it may be time to do a little maintenance to the printer (recommend once a month for maintenance). Please see the following links for further details.

Officejet Pro 8500 User Guide
The printer has a duty cycle of 7.5k page/month. The XL cartridges have a composite page yield of 1.4k pages with about a third of the black ink left over. To me it would seem that the printhead should last somewhere in between. This printer was designed to save money on ink compared to the rest of the officejets. I hate that it has been causing so much trouble, hopefully the information I provided will help.

My HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910 will no longer print aqua.

My HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910 will no longer print aqua. I just tried two new cartridges and when I clean the heads, no aqua prints. I get no error messages however.
One possible issue: Recently I used a new HP aqua print cartridge (940XL version) that kept stalling my printer. If my printer sat without printing for 10 minutes or more, the only way I could get it to print would be to shut down the printer and restart it. Then, as long as I kept printing, it worked fine. When I replaced the problematic print cartridge the printer works fine except now it won't print aqua. Could the problematic cartridge damaged something?
I looked at the print head and it looks fine. What is strange is that NO AQUA INK at all shows on the print head page.
What should I do? Help!

Hey @CWickstrom ,
Thank you for taking the time to post on the HP Forums today! Hope you enjoy the experience.
I recommend calling HP Technical Phone Support for this issue I believe you will be given options and help I can't.
If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.

Printing problem - HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One Printer, Red color fads on 4th copy

I have an HP HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One Printer, and am trying to print 75 copies of a program for our event. After the first 5-6 pages the RED in my program starts to turn magenta. I have brand new HP ink, and am printing on HP Color Injet Paper. I have renectly replaced the Black/Yellow printhead (at least 6 months ago). At first when I cleaned the printheads, I could print 2 or 3 pages showing my RED color. Then turns back to magenta. When I received the test patterns after cleaning the print heads they are all perfect with no lines.
What is going on and how can I fix it?
This question was solved.

Hi TM1997,
I understand you have an Officejet 8500 Wireless that is not printing red properly, it keeps turning to magenta. I'm sorry to hear this, but I will definitely do my best to help you!
As I'm sure you saw, when replacing the black and yellow printhead, that there are two printheads in the Officejet 8500 and the second one controls the magenta and cyan. I would suggest that you first have a look through this Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues document. You can also manually clean your printhead with the steps in this 'The Following Printhead Appears to be Missing or Damaged' or 'The Following Printhead has a Problem... document.
Hope this helps, have a great day!!

Printing problem - HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One Printer - printer head?

I posted this elsewhere, but I think I posted it on the wrong Forum so I am posting it here now. I hope I did not do anything to upset anyone. I am new to this area, please forgive my clumsiness.
I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One Printer. I've had my printer since December 2009 and no problems. I recently bought a new laptop with Windows 7 and had to go online to find the drivers that work for my printer. Windows 7 was not compatible with this printer.
Also recently, I am having a problem with what I think may be the black printer head, but when I run diagnostic on it everything comes back saying it is fine. However the problem still exist. When printing the black color will become faded in some areas and in some lines will not only almost totally fade out, but will almost look italic.
Can you tell me if this is the printer head and does it need replacing or is there another problem?
SondraS

Are you using genuine HP cartridges and not refilled or third-party cartridges?
Print the Print Quality Diagnostic page from the setup menu/print report/ on the printer's front panel
Are there any quality issues with this page?
