Hp officejet pro 8500 wireless a909g scan with Windows 7

I have been using HP officejet pro 8500 a909g wireless with windows xp with no problems scanning. I got a laptop with windows 7 64 bit and cannot scan to the computer from the solution center software on the computer or from the display on the unit like I used to be able to do. When I try to scan, it says that it is scanning and then quits after a short time. Nothing happens with the scanner. The Solution Center also sees the document is loaded. I have tried the scanning software program to see if something is wrong but it says all is fine. What do I need to do?

There is a way to launch the scan application directly.
Go to c:\program files\hp\digital imaging\bin and double click on hpiscnapp.exe
See if you are able to complete a scan this way
If that doesn't work,
Rename the twain folder:
Navigate to C:\Windows and double click on it
Scroll down to the twain_32 folder, and rename the folder twain_32 old .
Then, Delete the whole Digital Imaging folder in the program files above and then do an install/reinstall which will repopulate the folder. NOTE: If you have multiple HP imaging devices (other printers, scanner, or cameras) Do not delete the Digital Imaging folder or you will need to reinstall those items.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless A909g Loses Connectivity

[posted on behalf of another user]
Problem with HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless A909g
New printer will not stay connected to the wireless network. The printer continuously drops the network connection.
For 15-20 minutes at a time, it will go off-line, then come back on for ~5 mins. If you power off the printer it will re-connect. Energy Saving feature has been disabled.
When the printer is off-line, I cannot ping it nor reach it by http interface.
The router is a Belkin-N+ router, WPA-PSK security.
The printer is at address 192.168.2.4 and is static in both the Router and the printer.
The SSID is broadcast and the channel being used is 7, wireless mode is b,g and N
The printer says it has a connection strength of 5, and always shows itself connected.
The printer does not reconnect, unless you power cycle it.
If the printer is pingable then everything works fine, when it is not nothing works. The fact that it works when it is on-line makes me believe everything with the network connection is fine, other than the possibility that there is a signal problem. But since other devices with b cards, connect to the router with no problem, and the printer reports a strong connection I do not believe this is the problem.
I currently have a script running that pings the server every minute and it still disconnects.

Unfortunately, you are not alone. Search the forums for this problem and you will find several threads. Based on being involved with several of those here is what I recommend:
1. Connect with Ethernet cable if you can. Your problems will likely disappear.
2. If not, try changing the wireless channel to 1 or 11.
3. Try changing your group key renewal time (WPA key) to the maximum allowable by the router.
4. You can try this firmware update, but it does not list this as a fault it corrects.
Let's try those and go from there...

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless A909g, CB023A, how to perform full-reset

I own this printer since December 2009, during the first 15 months I had several problems/defects and also repairs and excange units. The problems continue on and in September 2011, in October 2011 and in November 2011 I got excange devices after repair attempts (one device was delivered without any function). The last device worked with one (?) (minor resp. accepted) problem until today resp. June 2014. ...this is the previous history ---> ---> I need sequence to perform full-reset on HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless A909g ---> Please send procedure/sequence how to perform a full-reset on this printer - not hard reset nor semi-reset: full-reset !!! Please send this information without unnecessary questions about my problems: My only problem is to own such printer!

Hello AlexBW,
I received your private message and I thank you for writing me back.
One other step that I think may assist us would be to please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Once you have the unit connected directly to a wall outlet, follow the instructions that I provided in the private message.
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: click here.
Thank you once again for your time. It has been a pleasure working with you.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless A909g won't install drivers

Hi, I just got HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One Printer - A909g. I tried to install the HP software through he wireless connection and the MAC sees the printer in the network but the installation process would not go to install; it stops after installation type and then the button for install just does not work. I tried both with CD and downloaded file but it's same for both. It's the same also when I try through the USB connection. Is it the computer or the installation software?

HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 wireless (A909g): no more sharing of card slot?

Hi there,
Before:
- in the past (OSX 10.6) my HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless (model A909g) supported "direct scan to folder" using a SMB folder shared on the Mac and working OK
- after 10.7 (or 10.8) Apple changed SMB support disallowing plaintext passwords and that feature was KO
- I was using a workaround: scanning to a SD card inserted in the HP printer and then copying the content from the SD card seen as a shared folder on the network
Now:
- Just after having installed Mavericks the shared folder on the printer are not available anymore, I am getting the device in the SHARED sidebar as usual but when I try to connect (using whatever password I might remember) I get an ACCESS FAILED message. (see screenshot, in Italian)
Any help? This printer is losing features for every update

More info:
- On my other OSX 10.8 system everything is still alright:
- If I try to connect (CMD-K) from OSX 10.9 to the same IP I'm getting an error saying "There is no partition available or you're not authorized to access this server (...)"
- On the Mavericks console I'm getting this message while trying to access:
kernel[0]: smb_smb_ssnsetup: HP0024812CE1E3 doesn't support extended security, this server will be deprecated in the future!
...seems the future has arrived ?!?

Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-In-One Windows 8 driver not working

Hello!
I recently got a new Dell Inspiron computer running the 64-bit version of Windows 8, and I have an Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-In-One Printer from a long time ago. I don't have the disc version of the driver, since I purchased the printer before Windows 8 came out, so I tried to download it from the HP website. Whenever I try to run it, however, it says that it is extracting, but once the extract is finished, nothing happens. The Installation Wizard doesn't pop up, and there is no error message explaing it. Help please?
Thanks!
This question was solved.

Hi,
Can I check if your Officejet Pro 8500 is A909 or A910? Alternatively, you can install the class driver built into Windows 8 to print to your printer. There are also a couple of Windows Store apps (HP AiO Remote and HP Scan and Capture) that would work with your printer.
I work for HP.

How do I set up wireless printing of my Officejet Pro 8500 on a laptop with Windows 8?

How do I set up wireless printing from my all in one Officejet Pro 8500 printer to my laptop with Windows 8?

You can set up your printer for wireless pretty easily if you have the Full Feature Software installed on your computer for your printer. The setup is done as part of the installation.
Read through below, then select how you wish to proceed. There is a video to assist - see below!
Install Printer Driver / Software
If your printer stops working (and it’s not a hardware problem), it may be due to software or driver issues. There are tools to help you diagnose the problem and help documents to guide you to success.
You might just desire extra features for your printer, or need extra tools to help with scheduled maintenance.
In many cases, you can (re)install the Full Feature Softwarefor your printer to enhance its capabilities. The HP Solution Center is an integrated part of the FFS. For e-print, you will want the e-print software.
If you have the CD that came with your printer, use that to install your Printer software -- IF the CD is compatible with your current Operating System. If you do not have the CD, or if the software on the CD is outdated, then you can use the online installation tools.
(Re)install the basic driver or HP Printer Full Feature Software or other software for your printer:
Drivers control hardware connected to the computer (wired or wireless)
Software controls the programs that interact with the User
Go to the top of the forum page to Support and Drivers
Officejet Pro 8500 Series
Enter your Printer Model information, and then go to Software and Drivers...
Enter your Operating System in the Drop-down menu... Click NEXT and Scroll down
Look for category Driver - Product Installation Software
Select the appropriate Basic Driver, e-print, or Full Feature Software, as appropriate
NOTE: You may also wish to download the Print and Scan Doctor and / or other Tools from Category - Utilities
Save the *.exe installation package(s) on your computer
Pay attention to the name and the location of the file(s) when you save the file(s). The file(s) will likely save to the "Downloads “folder.
You may remove your existing printer software with the following tool. Fixit is of particular use when the existing printer software is being replaced due to severe problems with the printing program.
Fixit -- Fix problems with programs that can't be installed or uninstalled
NOTE: If you have a recent working version of the Full Feature Software on your computer, you may opt to skip removing the existing printer software in the above separate step. During installation of your Full Feature Software, when the installer package detects the “old” printer software on your computer, the program will ask you to remove that old software: The program will then invoke an internal printer software removal program that is written to remove printer software. Once most of the old printer software is removed, you will be asked to Reboot your computer and log back in. After you log in, the final bits of the old printer program(s) are deleted and the new software will be installed. Depending on your system, the whole uninstall and install process might take as much as eight to twelve minutes.
Remember to Install the programs from Category Utilities first, if applicable, as these are smaller in size.
Install the downloaded Printer Software package last.
If you have ‘Admin’ control, you may highlight the package and “double-click” to install it, else Right-Click, Select ‘run as Administrator’ and install.
NOTES:
If using: Download and install the driver software before connecting a USB cable.
After the initial installation is complete, be sure to check for and install any relevant updates - check Category - Update. The Updates are important and can mean the difference between software that works as expected and software that does not work.
You may also wish to check for a Category named Firmware. Installation of any package in this Catagory is personal choice and must be based on the contents in the package and whether or not your printer is working as expected.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless A909g Will not print or align

Not sure what the problem is: was printing fine till suddenly no ink on paper. Unit sounds like it's going through all the motions but lays no ink. Windows 7 home Pro 64bit. Error message: Alignment cancelled. I went through all the suggested steps...cleaned printheads number of times, all the steps for alignment. Did not replace the printheads yet. Could both go bad at the same exact moment? I get absolutly no ink on the paper, not a drop. Don't know if this is enough info. Hope so. Thanks in advance for any possible solutions.
LP

Hi SunWay,
I understand you no longer have any ink printing on your pages and can not complete an alignment. From your description, I can see you have done a great deal of troubleshooting. It is not all that likely that both printheads would go at the same time but it is entirely possible. Another possibility is that the ink supply tubes are kinked. Please follow these steps to check the ink supply tubes:
Open the printer lid. The carriage moves to the left side of the printer. Wait until the carriage is idle and silent.
Look in the center of the printer for the four ink tubes that connect to the printhead, and then examine the ink tubes. The ink tubes should be bundled neatly, and they should not appear kinked or bent.
Ink tubes, correctly bundled and not kinked
The above solution and more can be found in the following document. If the issue persists, please use the document to troubleshoot the issue.
If the issue continues to persist, I recommend calling HP and letting the know the issue as well as the steps you have already completed. It may be helpful to even let them know you completed all of the steps in HP document #c04261974.
If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
I hope this helps.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless (Vista x64) Will not print after Sleep Mode

Hello,
As the title says the printer does not print after coming back from sleep mode. Before entering sleep mode the printer works fine and is responsive. After coming back from sleep mode the printer is still responsive (buttons on the touch screen can be pressed) but unfortunately does not accept any print jobs. Currently, I restart the printer to get it to print. It is connected wirelessly through WRT610N Linksys Router. Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
-Artem Durytskyy

I have been having the same problem all during my warranty period. But no one ever told me it was a firmware problem until two days ago connected to the sleep mode for the wireless one. Supposedly, they have downloads for wire ones now online which I found for 909a and 909b, but not 909g which is wireless. Now I am out of warranty and they won't replace it. I have a long history with tech support since early 2010. Right now, they are sending me a power adapter to try, said to turn off sleep mode (which I dont' know how). Then I told them I found online a firmware download, Apr 2010 to update firmware. My current version is different that the one listed for the download. So, I'm going back to TS to have them fool with it. Has anything worked for you?

Scanning to Computer, HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All in one Printer A909g

I am unable to scan to computer with Win 8.1 using my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless all in one Printer A909g. I can scan to email. The system says my drivers and software are up to date. When trying to scan to computer all I get is a blank scan file with no scan number (Scan_Doc0054) as I used to with Vista. In Vista I was able to drive the whole process from my computer. When scanning to email now I have to drive it from my printer as opposed to the computer.
I restarted an old computer running Vista and the 'scan to computer' function is operational. As far as I am aware there are no other functional problems with the printer.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi John046,
I am sorry to hear that did not work for you, I do have some more options for you to try:
Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Disable any antivirus programs. Windows Defender - Turn On or Off in Windows 8.
Disable any firewalls. Disable firewall Windows 8.
Re-install using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
If that does not resolve your issue, please call our phone support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Country-language selector.

Will my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless work with the new Mac OS Lion

Will my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless work with the new Mac OS Lion

My experience with upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion is that the OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless will print just fine, although it seems to take a little longer to find the printer on the network. My scan function however locks up and will not work. This really is an annoyance, though, since I have VueScan, which works fine with Lion.
Hopefully, Apple and HP will not orphan the OS native scanning feature for HP multifunction printers.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless Networking with LINKSYS WRT54GS wireless router

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless printer conneted via WiFi to my LYNKSYS WRT54GS wireless router. I do not have a USB cable or ethernet cable plugged to the printer. I am able to use the 'scan to email button' and the 'scan to network folder' button on the front of the printer and I can pint from the PC to the printer with no problems.
I installed the HP printer software from the CD, choosing network/wireless connection, without having to install any USB cables from the PC to the printer in the process. many posts in the forum mention having to connect USB cables in the wireless installation process.
Can I install the software in the same fashion on the other two laptops? Or, do I need to do something differently?

The USB cable is used on those printers which do not have display or front panel wireless setup is not possible. We configure the wireless settings during install and save those settings in printer's memory by transferring through USB cable. Therefore the USB is plugged in during wireless installation temporarily. In your case I don't think plugging in USB cable is necessary as the printer is already on network and had IP address. Connect the laptops on wireless network and proceed with regular install, the printer should be detected automatically.

Installing OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless on Windows 7 laptop with no network

Just purchased the OJPro 8500 Wireless and am trying to install on a new laptop with Windows 7 installed. First the CD that came with the printer didn't like Windows 7, so I downloaded the latest drivers from HP and things started happening... but no cigar.
I'm trying to connect the printer to a laptop using wireless<-->printer, there is no wireless network involved. The equipment is as follows:
- 3-IN-ONE HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 wireless
- Laptop MSI CX600 series with wireless/bluetooth
I would really appreciate any info on how to accomplish this.
Thanks.

1st, thx for clue about ad hoc (wireless) NETWORK (on pg. 10 & 11) in hp OFFICEJET "Wireless Getting Started Guide".
Windows 7 HELP & HP Solution Center were both pretty useless.
(Specifically)
Type "ad hoc" in Search Programs & Files (under START icon).
Results will be; "Set up an ad hoc (computer-to-computer) network". (Click on this)
Results will be; Dialog box to give name to network & set security, then SAVE.
NOTE: My Officejet Pro 8500n recognized "Security Type" = "No Authentication (Open)" & "Encryption Type" = "None"
(Go to)
Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Connect to a network
Results will be; (in Dialog box for "Open Network and Sharing Center") a listing of your ad hoc network name & message (in bold) "Waiting for users"
Finally, on Officejet Pro touch screen, Select "Setup Menu", "Network", "Wireless Setup Wizard", [Name] (given to ad hoc Network in Windows 7), & OK.
(Opps, 1 more thing) Also, follow instructions on pg. 10, to "Change from a USB connection".

HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless all-in-one printer

Just bought second-hand HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless all-in-one printer. Have no clue how to get it working. I plugged it in and it seems to be operational, but when trying to print, it did not work. Have an HP Pavilion laptop with Windows 8.1. Can anyone help me?

Hi @trudi39 , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I can see from your post you are experiencing print issues. I would like to help!
Do you receive any errors?
Does it print a blank page, or nothing at all?
Are you connected via wireless, ethernet or a USB cable?
In the meantime, I would recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
