HP Officejet pro 8500 A910 won't print wirelessly

"An error has occurred. (devInfoPage-503)".
I've had my Officejet pro 8500 A910 for less than 6 months.  It was an easy set up and printed and scanned perfectly for at least 2 months.  I use a wireless connection from my laptop which is running Windows 7.  Then a few months ago I started having problems scanning wirelessly from the printer pad, it would tell me that there was no computer connected. If I went to my laptop and went into the HP Document Manager it would scan the document and save it to my laptop just fine.  And I could still print - the laptop had no problem finding the printer.
About a month ago I had a really big print job for work.  But I figured this was a sturdy printer and could handle it.  Towards the end though the printer would stop printing for no apparent reasoning with the keypad just showing the spooling circle and saying "printing".  The only way to get it to actually print was to unplug the computer, delete the print job and start again.
Then for a while I had to do that every time I wanted to print, even after the "big print job" was long over, and still no scanning from the printer (will scan from the laptop).
I've tried several times uninstalling and reinstalling the software.  I've checked to make sure the printer is included in the "home network".
Today I reinstalled the software at the Control Panel on my laptop I get the green checkmark meaning the printer is set up and ready to go, but when I try to print a self  test page I get this message "An error has occurred. (devInfoPage-503)".  Any help in solving this problem would be much appreciated.  Thank you so much for your time.

My Office jet has printed fine wirelessly for 6 months but started to not recognise the computer.  re starting worked for while but now it will not recognise the computer at all.  The computer says  Scanner communication cannot be established and the printer says it sees the computer.
Why did it work but now won't?
Thanks,
Billy

  • NEW printer Officejet Pro 8500 A910 [9EDF91],NOT PRINTING in black !

    NEW printer Officejet Pro 8500 A910 [9EDF91], initial prints had streaks, so I did print head clean, switch off, start again, and now it does NOT PRINT in black at all.  I have tried everything. VERY FRUSTRATED, can't get in touch with HP assist.  Any ideas what could be wrong?

    I am having the same problem.  I was able to print one thing in black (the fax report during printer setup) and now I can't print in black at all!
    About to return the product if I can't figure out a solution....

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910 won't scan

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910 set up wireless.  It prints from my computers fine. Makes copies fine.  It won't scan.  I get messages saying it is in useas a scanner or that it can't communicate with the scanner.  Disabling firewalls doesn't solve problem.

    Okay, I have found the solution to about 85% of your problems. Just throw it away (J/K). What I did was.......
    Uninstall the entire HP Products from my PC. Then Reinstalled using the HP installation disc. Now here is the part that 8500 users need to do in order to scan documents to they're computer.
    Click Start menu, Then click All Programs, Then click HP, Then click HP 8500 folder (in my case its HP Officejet pro 8500 A910) , Then click connect a new Printer, then select Network (Ethernet/Wireless), Follow the steps and installation steps (I know it seems like you've done this already when installing the software, but it's doing something different. TRUST ME) And Voila. No need to thank me, Im just saving alot of people out there some headaches. Now to let mines go. Whew

  • My Officejet Pro 8500 A910 will not print green anymore

    I have a Officejet Pro 8500 A910 and it will not print green anymore. I have done the cleaning procedure and  there is ink in every color. When I print the PQ Diagnostics report  the green box i missing. What can I do?

    Hello FP160,
    I see that this is your first visit with us here on the HP Forums. Please let me take a moment to say "Welcome".
    To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    Sorry to hear that you are having some issues when it comes to printing anything in green.  I see that you have also attempted some steps in cleaning the printer.  I am going to give you a document that gives great detail in troubleshooting Print quality / Defective printouts.  This link has different documents that deal with print quality issues.
    One other thing that could be affecting the Ink Delivery System is how you have the power cable connected. If you have it connected to a power bar/strip, please remove it and connect it directly to a wall outlet.  Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for all HP products in general.  Please click the link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    Please write me back if you are still having issues or if you have additional questions.
    I look forward to hearing from you but if it is not today, I hope you have a Fantastic Tuesday.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium won't print wirelessly

    Ok, I have been having this problem for about a month now and cannot seem to fix it. 
    I have an Officejet 8600 Pro Premium that I recently bought for my business to replace my old 6500. I love the printer so far but there is one problem that is extremely aggravating. Currently I have three computers connected to the printer, two running XP and one running windows 7. The ones running XP have no issues what so ever, but every few days the one running windows 7 just stops printing. In control panel I can still see the printer but the documents just sit in the print que. Same for when I try to print a test page through HPs software. The only way to get it to print again is to unistall the drivers and reinstall. Then it will print for a few days and then stop again. I don't know why this is happening only to the machine running windows 7 and not XP. 
    Also, whenever I try to setup e-print from the printer I get an error message saying "Unalbe to Connect: The printer could not connect to the server." I am not running a proxy or anything like that, and I'm not sure if these two problems are related.
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. 
    Edit: Also I have ink alerts set only for when I print and scan to computer is disabled. 

    I have the same problem.  I have the officejet pro 8600 plus connected to a wireless toshiba laptop running Windows 7 64 without any issue ever. It is perfect.  I bought another officejet pro 6600 premium and connected it wirelessly to a HP Elite desktop at my other house.  It works great for a few days then the computer can't find the printer.  The printer shows the computer on the screen and has a blue wireless signal lit up. The only way to fix this is to reinstall the software which works great for a few days and then the same problem occurs.  This has happened several times since I purchased it 2 months ago.  I am a realtor and this is a huge inconvenience when I need to print things out for my appointments but have to re install the programs to do so.
    Any suggestions please?

  • Officejet Pro 8500 Premier won't print (Mac OSX 10.6)

    The printer is detected by my computer and is able to interact with it, but it refuses to print.  I restored factory settings with no luck.  I downloaded the HP software/drivers for my laptop, ran setup, everything worked...still won't print.  Any ideas please!?!

    Hi Stonesp85,
    Is there any error message pops out on printer front panel or on the PC?  
    Are you able to print out any self-test page like Product Status Report or Network configuration page ( in Setup -> Reports)?
    this is just a quick test for your printer hardware.
    to fully validate you printer hardware, I suggest you download "HP Hardware diagnostic Utility" in below link and run it:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&jumpid=ex_r4155/hho/ipg/ccdoc/h...
    if there is no problem found on printer hardware, please make sure that you installed the right driver, below is the link for the printer driver on Mac OSX 10.6:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-85024-2&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...=

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus - won't print wirelessly

    Installed a new 8600 Plus printer.  Installed it onto my network.  My laptop sees the printer and the scanning function will fire off and talk back and forth with my laptop.  When I try to print, though, the printing fails with "Unable to Communicate with Printer" error.  Any ideas on how to solve this?

    Hi 1OfficeSandpoin,
    As referenced here under solution five of the fourth section:
    If you are using your HP product in a business environment, issues can occur if certain router ports have been closed by your network administrator. If the ports are closed, the HP product cannot initiate outward connections to Web Services servers. Check with your network administrator and confirm that ports 80, 443, 5222, and 5223 are open. When those ports are open the HP product connects with Web Services servers.
    *NOTE-Although the document referenced is for Print Apps, the steps are the same for all web services.
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

  • Officejet Pro 8500 A910 Not Workings

    My HP printer (Officejet Pro 8500 A910) will not print from my MacBook Air--every time I try to print it says "connected to printer" and doesn't do anything else. When I run network diagnostics it says the server has failed. I've tried restarting my router. Any ideas?

    Umm. Port forwarding maybe a tought work for you. Let's try the other solutions. Did you try da Printer Setup Wizard? Make sure you have selected the appropiate drivers (Air Print Drivers instead of the original one). If not, you mac wouldn't be able to recognize your printer status properly.
    Good luck,

  • Officejet Pro 8500 A910 Not Printing & Heads won't clean.

    I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910. It has not been used for about 2 months until yesterday, but was left powered on. The Black, Yellow and Cyan carts were getting a bit low and my wife want to print a few dozen pages of black text. I had a HP 940 Black cart to hand so I replaced it. She printed about 2 dozen Word pages in draft format which uses less ink. They printed OK, but when she went to print more, the print got fainter with each page until they were coming out of the printer totally blank then when the cyan ran out the printer stopped printing blank pages all together. I installed new HP Cyan and Yellow carts, but the printer continued to spit out blank pages. I printed a Quality Diagnostic Page and it showed one column of blocks in Test Pattern 2 missing completely and some white streaks in at least one of the colored blocks. At this point the Ink cart levels were K=90, Y=90, M=50, C=90. The Print Head Health was KY=Good, MC=Good. At this point I ran an Alignment and the report showed all colors except Cyan which was completely missing. I had remembered from a few year ago, that this is one simple way to show if color heads were not printing. I then performed 3 successive level 1, 2 and 3 cleanings, and each time the cleaning report showed less color until only faint yellow showed on the printout. Also the alignment now only shows faint traces of yellow.  I suspect the heads need to be either replaced or removed and cleaned manually. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks very much in advance. Peter B.

  • 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.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910, 2 sections different paper size, prints incorectly

    I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910.
    My Word document has 2 pages in 2 sections the first page and section is an envelope and the second page is a letter.   On the 8500, if I choose to print just the 2nd page (the letter) it uses the envelope paper size and print half the width. Tried Word 2003/2007/2010 same thing.
    This prints fine on an BusinessJet pro2230

    Hi monkplayer,
    It looks like your problem is solved? There wasn't a problem with the printer itself, just the printer settings on your Mac?
    This is good information though. We don't always have detailed solutions for customers that are using Safari, since it is hard to write instructions for the general public with specific steps for each operating system.
    Best of luck,
