HP Printer goes offline after software update!@

I'm having trouble with printer going offline on two of my computers:
(imac 9,1 & 2014 macbook air)
Printer: HP officejet 8500a Plus
I repaired the permissions on both hard drives to see if it was a cups/communication issue and deleted and reinstalled the software/printer.
This is really frustrating! any help or insight would be appreciated... I don't feel like code hunting tonight...
thanks

Try creating a new user with admin rights, log into that new account and reinstall the software and try printing from that account.

  • Printer goes offline after printing

    Hello, I have an HP Laserjet Pro MFP M476DW used wireless, which worked fine until the upgrade to Yosemite 10.10.2. Now go offline after you have printed a copy and must be turned off and on for printing. And then press the last thing in the print queue and then goes back online. I uninstalled / reinstalled updated drivers etc but the problem persists. Can anyone advise please?
    Thank you, Emanuele.

    If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.

  • Printer goes offline after reboot (windows vista)

    I'm running the latest version of bonjour for windows and vista is running the latest patches. Here's the problem: I can use bonjour to add my HP Laserjet with no problems and its prints perfectly. All is good until I need to restart the computer. After reboot, the printer is listed as offline and nothing I've tried can change the status. I can delete the printer and rerun bonjour and it works again until the next reboot. I don't know what changed but I use to be able to print all the time without this problem. Anyone have this problem or any solutions.
    Thanks

    Same problem with here, except I've got three computers: one Mac and two WinXP (SP3) pc's. The mac has no problems but both PC's see my Canon PIXMA ip1800 as offline after they reboot. A re-run of the Bonjour setup fixes the problem until the next reboot. I've got the printer connected to an Airport Extreme Gigabit N base station. All software and firmware (on everything) is up to date. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Brother MFC 7440N - cannot see printer on network after software update!

    Hi I have done a software update to OSX 10.8.3 on my macbook pro. But now I can't see my Brother MFC 7440N printer on the network. I have been on the Brother website and have downloaded all of the software / drivers for MAC, but there doesn't seem to be one for OSX 10.8.4. Can anyone suggest what I should do next.
    By the way, I have already tried to reset the printers etc, but that didn't work as the printer cannot be found on the network.

    From the printer (check your manual)
    In case you can't find the manual here is the relevant section.
    You're not going to change it so stop at section 4 (IP Address) don't proceed to 5 (Change)

  • 6500 A printer goes offline when computer updates

    I am really coming to the end of my rope with this printer.  I used an HP computer running Windows ME, allegedly the worst operating system ever, for 10 YEARS with absolutely ZERO issues until my printer broke and nobody made a printer that would work with ME anymore.  So I bought a new computer running Windows 7 64 bit and have had absolutely nothing but problems.  It seems that every time the computer updates with the printer on, it throws the printer off line.  REALLY OFFLINE.  One time, the printer had to be uninstalled and reinstalled.  A huge PITA.  This time, it changed the printer address to some MAC address.  I have this printer on a wireless network.  I have been careful to ensure that the printer is off before I shut down the computer, since this is when it updates, but Sat evening, I forgot and shut the computer down with the printer on.  Now it won't scan or print and I get an error message stating that the computer can't communicate with the printer.  I have been afraid to add software or do anything but go on the Internet with this system, as I never know when something will change and kill the stupid printer.  I want to put software on this computer to put my vinyl onto CD, but am having so much trouble, i don't need anymore.  To make matters worse, I am not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to computers, so this causes me more trouble than it might others.  What should I do? Thanks.........GREG

    I just spent FOUR hours with HP technical people trying to get my printer to work again.  They tell me that it was originally a problem with my IP server messing up my printer address.  The printer address had been changed to a MAC address, which is some kind of a security address, origin unknown.  They performed their usual hocus-pocus and got the thing working again.  I chewed on a supervisor for a while and he promised a follow up call tomorrow.  All well and good, but the thing will work for a day, a week, or a month and then take a dump again.  VERY frustrating.  The thing should be able to be fixed, permanently, and work for ten years like my old one did without drama.  Good luck on your problem.  I have no help to offer, but HP tech people have been good to me.  If you are out of warranty, God be with you!!.........GREG

  • HP OfficeJet 6500A Printer goes offline shortly after setup

    Hi,
    Question is: How do I stop my HP 6500A e710a-f printer from going offline? (this is NOT the 6500A+)
    I have a Dell laptop running Win8.0, connecting wirelessly via a Huawei B593 LTE router. Printer is HP 6500A using the E710a-f driver. Printer is attached to the router via an ethernet cable.
    I can create a new HP 6500A printer and print a test page over the wireless network. However, shortly after this, the printer goes 'offline'. I have tried to re-connect by restarting the Printer Servies, but - again - this only helps for a short period of time. i have also re-created the printer from scratch by deleting and then re-creating the printer. Again, the same result. 
    This should be a standard offering for what is an expensive home office printer with standard ethernet ports. Most home offices use wireless routers - so this should be a simple connection. 
    I have looked through the Forums, but not seen any definitive answer - a lot of suggestions over the last few years, but no straight answer.  Apart from the guy who left and bought an Epson instead........!
    It cannot be that hard to fix what should be a standard offering for this printer.
    Can someone help me?

    Hi @MagnusB

  • IPhone went bad after software update - iPhone 5 is now stuck on Itunes connect and has vertical lines

    iPhone went bad after software update - iPhone 5 is now stuck on Itunes connect and has vertical lines.
    I found a video on youtube with similar issues - http://youtu.be/Xuuqxx18-bA
    EVERYTHING HAS BEEN TRIED: Restore, Reboot, Recycle, Replacing Cables, etc....
    I don't have Apple Care, what to do? Spend more money and buy a new phone?

    Here is another person who has a problem with the iPhone 5 screen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc1ZPWSA8dc and they have just received them NEW!!!!!
    I myself, two days ago purchased a  2nd hand iPhone 5 that was advertised as having a line of squares at the bottom of the screen. I Googled it and found people saying it was a screen issue and to replace the screen, so I did this and it is still happening with a new screen.
    I am starting to dislike Apple intensely after reading forum posts and watching videos where people are asking for help and telling us about issues that they are having with their phones.
    Why is Apple getting it so wrong with their updates and manufacturing that they are completely destroying iPhones that cost a lot of money and then expecting the owner to purchase another phone unless they are still in warranty.
    Apple you should be going out of your way to put things right for people but instead there is a wall of silence over so many of the issues destroying peoples phones.
    SHAME ON YOU!

    Hey iftekhar,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    I would suggest backing up doing a clean reload of the BlackBerry® device software as shown here: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320. Please test before restoring any data to the device.
    If this resolves the issue do a selective restore of essential data (Address Book, Calendar, Task, Memos, BBM contacts etc.)

  • A big deal of data lost after software update

    Hello,
    Hopefully someone will look into this problem. I have seen also here other reports of losing data after software update.
    I have a Nokia N73 Music Edition. Before I updated the firmware, I used Nokia PC Suite to backup all data in the phone memory as well as the phone settings. After a successful update, I tried to restore the backup. No error occured during the restoration. However, I found out many things hadn't been brought back to my phone, such as messages, notes, as well as landmarks that I saved in Nokia Maps.
    I want to know what is going on and if there is any hope to get back those lost pieces. Thank you!
    Best regards,
    Wei

    Sorry if your husband didn't backup your phone either to iTunes or icloud prior to updating your phone, then those data is gone.

  • USB Audio stopped working on 27" ACD after software update 1.0

    Hi all,
    My 27" ACD worked flawlessly until I installed 27-inch LED Cinema Display Software Update 1.0 earlier tonight. I have a unibody MacBook Pro that doesn't output audio from the mini displayport, when I got the ACD Friday, USB audio output worked fine. I also have a 24" ACD and audio worked fine on that as well. But after software update 1.0, I can no longer get audio output of the 27" ACD to work via USB, I even rebooted my Mac and it still doesn't work. After trying it a few times in Sound.prefPane, I now can't even select the "Display Audio - USB" option (when I click on it it reverts to the other option right away).
    From /var/log/system.log, I believe this is the error related error message:
    System Preferences[332]: Error ^P trying to set sOut device to 264
    Message was edited by: ayn

    I have this problem too. I have the 27-inch LED cinema display connected to my Mac Pro 1,1 via the Radeon 5770. I also suspected it had something to do with the machine going to sleep, but the audio doesn't disappear every time it goes to sleep. Unplugging the monitor fixes the problem.
    I also noticed that when the sound has went away, if I try to change the volume there will be a long delay before seeing the volume-change graphic. Also, toggling the sound device in System Preferences while the problem is in effect is unresponsive, sometimes giving the beach ball. Finally, this message is seen in console logs when the sound has went away:
    10/19/10 6:01:22 PM kernel USBF: 75053.200 AppleUSBEHCI[0xf3d0800]::Found a transaction which hasn't moved in 5 seconds on bus 0xfd, timing out! (Addr: 5, EP: 0)
    I can make this message appear on demand by attempting to change the volume.
    If (when) this happens again, I'm calling support.

  • HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m wireless goes offline after system is shutdown

    I am using the HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m on a Dell XPS 16 with Windows 7 64bit. I have setup the printer to connect to the Belkin wireless router so it is on the network. I have setup the printer numerous times and had it working over wireless many times. After the PC is shutdown the printer goes offline. I have to rerun setup over and over again to bring wireless back online. I added the MAC address to the Belkin router, and I have the device trusted in my Norton Firewall. I keep seeing "HP Network Support Automatic (Delayed Start)" in services, but changing it does not seem to make any difference I still need to rerun setup again after the system is shutdown. I am also seeing two printer icons in Devices and Printers. One is just the Photosmart Printer with a generic printer icon; and the second is Photosmart Printer, Scanner, Copier with a picture of the Photosmart which I believe it should be. I have run the setup at least 10 times, and I keep getting a good working wireless system then after the machine is shutdown for the day the printer goes offline and will not print again. How can I prevent the printer from going offline in wireless mode?  
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Setting a static IP address may help this issue:
    - 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). If you know what that is, set an IP outside that range but no higher than 254 (the last number in the address). If you do not know this, enter the current IP address.
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Leave the gateway and DNS 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.

  • Problem restarting after software update

    Computer is fine, drive 40% full, no speed problems...
    But it just won't restart after software update runs, nor will it restart or shut down from finder.
    Problem solving so far: Safe boot, reset pram, ran disk utility, ran disk repair using install disk, ran fsck -y, ran disk warrior.
    Is annoying. ANy ideas anyone? If not, what is the procedure for updating using sudate and terminal, as when I use software update, a force shut down will not install.
    ANy ideas folks?

    Some general advice on updating:
    It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
    So before you do anything else:
    If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
    2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
    At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
    3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site.
    The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
    If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
    Full details about the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606
    More information on using Software Updater here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.5.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
    Now proceed as follows:
    4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
    5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
    7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
    If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
    9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 4.
    N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
    Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
    If you are updating Safari (or just have):
    Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.
    Additional tips on software installation here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
    To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
    Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
    • /Library/InputManagers
    • ~/Library/InputManagers
    especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

  • HP LaserJet 600 M602 printer goes offline every night

    Hi,
    I have a HP LaserJet 600 M602 CE991A printer on a wired network. I have quite a few other printers on the network as well and do not show me this kind of behavior.
    But for some reason, this printer, from as soon as I bought it, goes offline every time from around 5.20-5.30pm to around 8.30pm. I have a ping tester running as I am trying to figure out what's going on and I got 100% drop every night for that time period.
    I looked to see if there was a setting that puts this device to sleep or so but no, I cant find anything. I have tried with the energy setting sleep mode on or off, wake up events to trigger a wake up call to the printer but no luck.
    Firmware Bundle Version3.2.5
    Firmware Revision2302908_435019
    Firmware Date Code20140529
    I am out of options, in our other locations, we have sam printer but a CE993A models and they do not show this kind of behavior at all.
    I am at a deadlock here.

    Hi @Halan ,
    I see by your post that you aren't able to print when the laptop isn't in the same area as the printer. I would like to help you out today.
    What is the distance of the printer and the Laptop when the printer goes offline?
    Try these steps to see if it will resolve the issue.
