HP Officejet Pro 8500A can't uninstall using disk and need to re-install daily in order to print

I have the disk that came with the printer, but there is no uninstall folder or .bat file.
I can uninstall from the menu, but the next day I have to re-install the drivers to get the laptop to talk tot he printer.
My son's netbook is having the sam issues.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi lw1961,
Please clarify what you would like to achieve by uninstalling the printer software.
Some parts of the software are mandatory for basic operation of the product, you will not be able to print without the drivers installed.
If there are some specific software components you would like to remove it is also possible, but it may help to better understand your needs in order to provide you any possible option.

  • HP Officejet pro 8500A premium, all-in-one printer, scanner problems

    I have an HP Officejet pro 8500A premium, all-in-one printer.
    Tried uninstalling using the HP supplied uninstall software and installed recommended OSX 10.8 software for this device.
    I use wireless scanning. Scanner only scans the first page then shows an error.
    Anyone have this problem as well and any possible solutions?
    Thanks

    The HP Scan works just fine in Mountain Lion for me. Always has.

    I think the original poster needs to reinstall the latest software for the printer that came with his printer or directly from HP. Then, install the Apple HP updates.
    When he unistalled the HP software, it may have removed the software needed for HP Scan to work properly.
    The last software I installed from HP was -> HP_Installer_Officejet_Full_Group05_10.3.dmg
    Yes, there have been Apple HP updates, but they never stopped my HP Scan from working.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus - Magenta Not Printing

    I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus (A910), Model number CM756A, Serial number: [Moderator edited Serial Number] that is not printing magenta. 
    Firmware version: LRP1FN1231AR. Service ID 21057. IK Number 658.
    Software version: 028.000.1315.000. Printer Driver version: 09.84.00.1189
    The Printhead Status for all cartridges reports as "Good" in the Self Test Diagnostic Page.
    I have run a Print Quality Diagnostics and in Test Pattern 2 there is no red/magenta colored block appearing.
    I did not have any alert for low print quantity, however I replaced the Magenta inkcartridge with an HP Officejet 940XL new magenta ink cartridge (HP genuine) and still there is no Magenta printing.
    When I open the ink cartridge holder, the printer shows HP Model: A910g, HP Ink Cartridge 940.
    I have gone through this exercise several times, however the latest Magenta ink cartridge that I removed from the printer prior to replacing had the following information on it:  C4908A, 2016/05/22.  The newest cartridge I put in has a September 2017 expiration date (part number C4908A). 
    I am not getting any error messages or anything, there is just no Magenta being printed.
    First - I would like to know how to fix this issue with the HP printer.
    Second - is there anyway to get a refund for the ink cartridges I have had to use (and waste) trying to resolve this problem.
    Thank you.

  • HP OFFICEJET PRO 8500A PLUS on Windows 2003 Server

    I'm trying to install the Windows 2003 driver for the HP OFFICEJET PRO 8500A PLUS but the installtion halts and says the operating system is not supported.  The O/S is fully patched. Does anyone have a go around for this?  I simply need it for Terminal Services users.

    Where did you get the driver pack from? Also are you running a 32 or 64 bit version of Windows 2003 Server? 
    This is the version of the driver pack you need: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=bi-105951-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
    Let me know if this is what you already downloaded and also the questions from above.

  • Can't get Officejet Pro 8500A to print using a Bigpond wireless network

    I phoned Bigpond for assistance and was told that the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500A needs to use a wireless router.  Is this the case?  I reinstalled the HP software on the computer but when I selected the Router/Wireless connection wasn't able to detect the network, even though I was logged on to Bigpond.  Would appreciate assistance please.

    Hi Ruski,
    Wireless is just one of three ways you can have the printer attached for printing from your computer. I am unaware specifically what Bigpond is, however a few questions would narrow down which connection type would be optimum:
    What devices do you want to print from?
    Do you have an established wireless network at your home/business where the printer is?
    Are you wanting to use the web services of your printer (ePrint, AirPrint, or Print Apps)?
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

  • Can't print Firefox pages on my HP Officejet Pro 8500A but I'm able to print using safari, word etc.

    I run a Mac OS X 10.5.8 and I'm trying to print on an HP Officejet Pro 8500A. I am able to print pages from Safari, Word etc. But when I try to print from Firefox all the pages come out blank (there is no error message). I just updated my firefox browser to 8.0.1 in hopes that would help - but no luck. I've also updated all the printer driver and have checked to make sure that the correct printer is selected. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500A Used to print now I have to reinstall everyday

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus e-All-in-One Printer - A910g that used to work beautifully.
    My computer hung one day and I had to hard restart it (kill the power after it was frozen for 10 minutes) . Since then I have to uninstall the HP printer (from the Start menu) and reinstall it daily in order for the printer to be recognized an able to communicater.  I ran the diagnostic utility - it was found on the network, the IP address does not change, my PC finds it and I can open the printer page in the browser, see all of the address information, ink information etc.
    I can print a test page from the browser, but when I try to print a pdf or print from word I get the message unable to communicae with Printer.
    I am thinking I need to completely wipe the HP software and start over, but the uninstaller does not do that.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. This is getting really annoying.
    Thanks

    Try using the multilevel uninstaller in the HP software driver CD. Browse the contents of the CD and look for the "Util" folder and open it. In the "Util" folder, open the "CCC" folder. In the "CCC" folder, double click on the "Uninstall_L3.bat" file. Don't use the "Uninstall_L4.bat" file. It could remove files that have shared dependencies with the HP software. Restart the computer and then reinstall the software afterwards. Let me know if it worked or not.

  • GOT A HP OFFICEJET PRO 8500A PLUS; I MUST RE-ENTER WIRELESS SETTINGS EVRYTIME I USE IT??

    I just got an OfficeJet Pro 8500a Plus, on the touchscreen i have to set-up (username and password) the wireless connection to my wireless SSID; and that confirms the connection ok. At that point i can print no problem, scan and fax.
    The problem arises when my wireless router fails and restarts, the next time i use my printer it says it is not connected and i must reconfigure from the touch screen again username and password. Is there no way to have these settings entered permanently so if my router resets or whatever i do not have to re-enter all settings? Thanks for the help and hopefully good news.
    Thank you so much

    This is strange.  Does the printer ever lose power?
    Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
    - Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
    - Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
    - Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). You can change the DHCP range of the router using its internal settings page.
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway and first DNS. Leave the second one blank.
    - Click 'Apply'.
    Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
    After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

  • Why can't I print to my HP OfficeJet Pro 8500A Plus All-in-One from my wired PC?

    I have an HP OfficeJet Pro 8500A Plus All-in-One on my network.  My router is wireless, which several of my devices (laptops, ipads, etc.) use to get an internet connection, but I have one desktop PC that is actually wired to the router via ethernet cable.  For some reason, when I attempt to print to the 8500 from the wired PC, the doc just sits in the que, eventally registering as an 'error'. But all of my wirelss devices can print to it just fine.
    Oddly, this is somewhat of an intermittent issue, as I have printed successfully from this PC before, but I can't right now.  I'll also throw this in: I have at times, plugged an ethernet cable into my wireless-capable laptop and had the same issue.  But then I just unplug the calbe, reboot, and turn on wireless, and can print without any issues ... so I suspect it has something to do with the fact that the PC is wired to the router.
    Don't know if this has anytthing to do with it, but my wireless network is called 'FrogNet', but my wired PC doesn't see 'FrogNet' like all my wireless devices do.  It just indicates that this is part of a generic network.   Ideas?  (All computers run Win7.)

  • My iPhone and my iPad are connected by wi-fi, but I can't print on HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus. On the other hand, I can print over wi-fi from PC. What can I do?

    Hallo, thank you for trying to help. Here is my problem:
    In the past, the airprint was possible without problems from iPhone 4 and iPad 2. Since today it doesn't work anymore. My iPhone 4 and my iPad 2 is connected by wi-fi and I can serve in the internet. But I can't print on HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus. On the other hand, I can print over wi-fi from PC.
    There are low ink-levels and therefore a message comes to indicate this by printing from PC. iPhone and iPad are accepting the print order without any messages after, but does't excecute the print.
    What can I do?

    Hey helmut,
    You can also try the ePrint method listed here if you can't get AirPrint working:

  • Officejet Pro 8500A Plus can't scan to e-mail

    I have an Officejet Pro 8500A Plus and Windows 7 32-bit OS and using Outlook 2010.  I'm trying to scan to e-mail and am having no luck.  From the printer interface I choose SCAN --> COMPUTER --> (MyComputer) --> E-MAIL AS PDF.  It performs the scan, but then on my computer, I get the following error:
    "The HP Scan application is unable to open your e-mail application and/or cannot attach the scan to a new email.  Please check your email configuration and try again."
    I've checked the configuration in CONTROL PANEL --> DEFAULT PROGRAMS --> SET YOUR DEFAULT PROGRAMS.  I made sure that I selected Microsoft Outlook and clicked Choose Defaults For This Program.  I then selected all Extenstions and Protocols and still no luck.
    Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?  Thanks.  You may be wondering why I don't just use the Scan to Email instead of scan to computer.  Well, unless there's a way to import all 400+ contacts from my Outlook to the address book in the scanner, this is the fastest way for me to scan an item and send it as an e-mail to various people.
    Thanks.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500A A910a can't automatica​lly 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.

  • I live out in the county where WiFi is not available.  I don't have internet either.  I have purchased the ipad2 and have been told that I can print from the ipad2 directly to the HP Officejet Pro 8500A eprint all-in-one.  Is that true?

    I would like to be able to print from my ipad2 or my iphone4 directly to a wireless printer.  I don't have WiFi at home or internet.  I am able to get my emails and use the internet thru both these at home.  Will I be able to use them to print? Any suggestions which printer?  I was told that the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500A eprint all-in-one should work and wouldn't have to use a router.  I don't want to go purchase this and try to set it up if it won't work thru the 3G network.
