OK, there are a couple of things to do:
1. Reset the printer: Setup > Network > Reset Network Defaults.
2. Disable IPv6:
  - Connect directly from your PC to the printer with Ethernet.
  - Find the printer's IP address on its front panel or self-test. Enter the IP in a browser
  - Navigate to Network tab > Advanced and disable IPv6.
  - Click Apply.
Now go through your normal way of setting up the printer.

HP Officejet Pro 8000 Printer series - A809 Slow Response to Word Print

Hello,
When I try to print from a Word Document the HP Officejet Pro 8000 Printer series - A809 Printer takes on average 1:24 to respond and print. When I go into the printer's settings and print a test page the Printer takes about 3 seconds to respond and print the document. The Printer has a Dual Side Printing add on and the optional paper tray.
Do you know what could cause such a long delay for the printer, especially when it only happens with word and other Microsoft Works Programs?

I would also like to add that I am on a Mac OS X Version 10.6.4 with plenty of processing speed and Memory in case that would be useful in helping me

Windows Server 2008 R2 & Officejet Pro K8600 Printer - WHICH DRIVER ?!

What driver do I use for Windows Server 2008 R2 and HP Officejet Pro K8600 Printer?
I'm trying to find the correct driver for Server 2008 R2 for an HP Officejet Pro K8600 Printer. This is a large format (tabloid or 11 x 17) inkjet printer. Either I haven't found the correct driver, or I haven't properly discovered the correct combination of settings to use to fix the problem I'm having. The problem is that every time I try to print a document that is 11 x 17, it ends up being printed as if the paper size is 8.5 x 11.
I've seen many people have similar problems where everything worked fine when they were using XP, but when they "upgraded" to Windows 7, they can't print 11 x 17 any more.

Constant Printing Restart on a networked HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909N Series printer

Hello,
I'm curious if anyone has run into this problem before. I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909n Series printer that I have setup as a network printer. This has been accomplished through a print server.
I installed the printer's drivers based upon the cd that came with the printer, in the box.
The problem is that whenever a user prints, say it's a simply one page document... the printer will repeatedly print that single page until it runs out of paper. I have stopped/restarted the print spooler. I've rebooted the printer and the print server. I have deleted the drivers and readded them. I've tried installing drivers from HP's website and then installing those. I have attempted to delete the printer from the server and start from scratch.
When I monitor the print queue, I can see the service restart after each document prints. I can't figure out how to get this to stop.
Does anyone have a suggestion; or has anyone run into this problem? I'm not sure which forum to put this in. I chose the Networks/Wireless forum, even though this is running on a wired network with wireless disabled.
I certainly appreciate any asistance.
-Craig

It ended up being an issue with the port. I had used the same port as the last HP printer that I replaced. This printer needs to run on a TCP/IP port, and not an HP port.
Problem solved.
Oh, and it was wired, with wireless disabled.

Printing with HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909n Series Printer & Apple Air Print

I am trying to use my IPad and print from it through Air Print.
Has anyone had any success in printing from an IPad, using the latest Apple IPad operating system (iOS 4.2) to an HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909n Series Printer?
The documentation from Apple indicates compatibility with:
HP Officejet Pro 8500A e-AiO HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus e-AiO HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium e-AiO
Will the 8500 A909n work?
Thanks.

You can use 3rd party software such as Print n Share if you have a PC or Printopia if you have a Mac.
Or you can check HPs site and see what they have available.

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.

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.

OfficeJet Pro K8600 looses communication -will not print

This is our main printer in the design area at work and I really need this to work!! Any help appreciated.
Vista SP2 Dell Pavilion Intel Quad 2.33ghz 64bit OS 8gb RAM OfficeJet Pro K8600 on USB cable to main ports
I loose the connection and have to reboot the computer to get it to print again.
It prints fine for several hours or a day or so, then suddenly will freeze part way through printing, or simply will not print at all. In Printer preferences I click on services - Ink levels tab - "computer unable to establish 2 way communication"
Removing the USB and reattaching does not help, nor does changing the USB port used.
Disconnected unit, rebooted, deleted printer icon, uninstalled printer drivers, rebooted, did full install using the HP CD and I still have the same problem after printing for awhile.
HP Diagnostic utility does not detect any problems when printer is not working or when it is working.

Did you install the two HP updates slp_dd_hati_110_107.exe and ConvergedIO_HPCOM_V3.exe?

Using windows 7, how do I get my Officejet Pro K8600 to print to 13x19 paper?

I purchased a laptop with Windows 7. Now I cannot get my Officejet Pro K8600 to print correctly to 13x19 paper. It prints onto 13x19 paper but everything is 8.5 x 11 in size. I click print, click properties, change the paper to Super B 13x19, hit ok, the box shows the 13x19 paper with the images filling the paper, I click ok for it to print and it prints the image 8.5 x 11 in size on the 13x19 paper instead of filling the 13x19 paper. I did not have this trouble (and still don't) with my old laptop with XP. Is it the operating system or is it a wrong setting in properties? I have tried to compare the properties settings in both computers, but I cannot find any differences. I don't think it's the driver....please help!

Hello HW,
Try this: go to Devices and Printers and right-click on the Officejet Pro K8600 and click on Printer Properties. Go to the tab called Advanced and click on the button called Print Processor. Select Winprint and click OK. Try another printout and see if it works now. If you still see the same issue see if there's a scaling option on the print dialogue in the application you're printing from.

HP Officejet Pro K8600: change static IP address using printer control buttons

Our network was changed this morning and I am working with a different addressing scheme. I need to change the static address for our HP Officejet Pro K8600 which has no control panel on the printer. I had to do this once before and found instructions which (believe it or not) included something like pressing the paper feed button 23 times. It worked but now I can't find the instructions!!!! It's not something I can recreate because it was very specific. Does anyone have these instructions? I need them desperately.
Thanks.

Still not what I needed but I did finally find what I was looking for. Clearly not found in any manual. Here it is for anyone else that is looking for the same info.
‎From a post on 11-25-2008 03:46 PM from KFMiles:
I really hope this helps you. Believe it or not there really is a reset for this printer.
I had put in a manual IP address and forgot one piece of data. Then I couldn't print to it or access it. Basically I was out of luck. I scoured the internet, I read the manual, I used the HP online help. No luck. Finally I broke down and called HP directly. Took us about 10 minutes of dialog and redoing everything I did before (patience here on my part). The tech disappeared for awhile and came back with a new step from the printer guru god for K8600. Seems if you enter the code number 230, the printer defaults are reset to the factory values.
Ahhh, you say what? There are only 3 buttons to press and no keypad. The X and the page button mean something besides print configuration (hold X) or print page demo (hold Page). Seems if you press and HOLD the power button, the X changes to a unit code factor of 10, and the page button changes to a code factor of one. DO NOT do this code with the network cable plugged in I am told by HP .. so read on...To enter 230, press and hold the power button (light goes off but unit stays on), then press the X button 23 times, Let them both loose. Wait about 20 seconds, and print yourself out a configuration page (by holding X until printer starts working to print). You should see that your net numbers are blank. This will be normal with the network cable unplugged. Plug the network cable back in and wait about 30 seconds, by this time the router will have assigned a new IP. Print out your configuration again. Whatever you got is your new number until you reassign it by using the webserver. This new IP address is your ticket to this server.
This makes you wonder what other codes are there that we don't know about.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a Series leaks ink in the front right corner.

My HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a Series Printer is leaking black ink in the front right corner of the printer. Leak seems to be very slow. I also can't find any documentation on how to take the bottom portion of the printer apart to investigate the leak.

Welcome to the HP Community @dtr00 ,
I saw your post about the black ink leaking in the front right corner of your Officejet Pro 8500 model. As we do not have service guides to help you disassemble the unit, and don't recommend it, I would suggest calling us directly to see what your printer options are with HP.

HP Officejet Pro K8600 - Black Ink issue

Hi everyone,
I have HP Officejet Pro K8600, the printer was fine but after I printed on 4x6 HP Premium Glossy Photo Paper now when I print normal text document the Black Color is not too black it is sort of faded black (very dark grey). I chose different presets e.g. Default Settings, Plain Paper Best, Plain Paper Fast Draft, Plain Paper Fast Draft Black and White and set paper type as Plain Paper but the results are all same. But again when I print a full color photo on 4x6 HP Premium Glossy Photo Paper with preset Photo Paper and HP Premium Photo Paper the printout comes fine and the black color is deep and normal.
I will be waiting for your prompt solutions.
Regards,
Mak

I will add the following:
I changed the Black cartridge but still with the same issue. I am trying to change the printhead with following the steps given in this page http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c01289505 but the carriage does not move to the left.
Any clue?

Officejet Pro K8600 installing on 64 bit and 32 bit drivers on a 64 bit server

I'm trying to install an Officejet Pro K8600 on a 64bit, 2008 server. I can install the 64bit driver ok but when I try to add the 32bit driver and point it to the driver location it ask me for the 'ntprint' file, which isn't there.
As I have a load of 32bit client computers using 3 of these printers, I don't want to manually install the 32bit driver on each client.

Hi Stephen00101010 , sorry to hear that you are unable to get the printer installed. I do apologize for the inconvenience, however the operating system that you are using is not supported with the use of this printer.
Thank you.
