I can print to HP Officejet Pro 8500 - A909g but I can't scan. Won't recognize?

I have HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One Printer - A909g and a Lenovo T410 lap top.  I can print but my computer doesn't recognize my my 8500 to scan?  I have uninstall and reinstalled the software and still nothing!  I have checked with my wireless network Linksys and everything checks out.  They tell me that the problem is with my HP 8500.  I have hardwired to the printer and it scans okay.  What must I do to wirelessly scan?
Thank you,  John

I had the same problems as reported in previous posts.  I reinstalled my entire system and upgraded to Windows 7, 64 bit, Ultimate.  Only the priint driver would install from the Full Feature Drivers option at HP Support.
Uninstall/install print driver to no avail.
 Turn printer/router/computer off/on.
Download full feature drivers from HP website. (Only print driver was downloaded.)
HP diagnostic utilities did not discover a problem.
I believe the problem had to do with the drivers accessed via the  HP Support site.  I downloaded from the following location:  http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c02073861&jumpid=ex_r4155/hho/ipg/cc...
Ran the Install Wizard from there and the printer/fax/scan tests.  Passed all.  All drivers are now installed as is the HP Solution Center. 
Glad to finally be up and running!!!!

    Thank you for clarifying.
    Dlink routers provide Multicasting support disabled by my erxperience.
    Try the following steps and then check for any change:
    Enter the router EWS page by typing its IP address.
    From the top menu click Advanced.
    From the left menu click Advanced Network.
    Make sure the Multicast Streams checkbox is selected.
    Click Save Settings to apply and reboot the router.
    Make sure the devices have reconnected and check for any change,
    If there still having issues, I would recommend you to update the latest firmware for your router:

    Hi @kitesquid,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that your HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g, does not save a scanned PDF file on Windows 8.1 64 bit. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
    To verify the printer's hardware is functional, are you able to make copies from the scanner glass? Copying a Multipage Original.
    In the meantime, please try our HP Print and Scan Doctor, and let me know the results!
    Hope to hear from you soon!

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g Wireless - Can't Clear Print Que - Vista SP 1

    I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909G Wireless printer which is set up wireless through a router.  Used to be able to print to this printer from any computer in the house except now.  I tried to print a document from my HP Pavilion laptop to the printer; it didn't print.  I tried multiple things, didn't work, so tried cancelling the document from the print que.  For 2 days now it has the print que has showed this document as "deleting", pages 6/2, shows date and time of request to cancel print job.  I went into Control Panel, right-clicked on the printer and chose "cancel all documents" and the print que still shows this document as deleting.  No ability to cancel printer job from the physical printer itself.  I've tried restarting the computer to see if it would clear the que; it doesn't.  Read through previous posts and tried several of the suggestions; nothing works.  Can no longer use this laptop to work and print.  HELP!  Vicki

    I have had to delete the printer, search for it again, and re-install it!

  • Printer keeps printing (HP Officejet pro 8500 A909g)

    I'm currently running a HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 A909g wireless all-in-one printer off a wireless network - my laptop running Vista Basic.
    My printer has started the Christmas season by printing the document I send to it repeatedly... whether this is a windows problem or something specific to the printer I don't know - has anyone come across this before? 
    There are no error messages on the printer, it's just happily printing page after page... (until I kill it in the print dialogue).  Advice appreciated! :-)

     I am having this very same problem and have been chasing it since August.  Here are some of the characteristics I have notices:
    - I have several machines attached to this printer.  All of them using the wireless connection.  It only happens in Windows Vista (Home premium in my case).  All my windows machines do not have this problem at all
    - No multiple copies option has been setup
    - Seems to happen with Windows Office applications (Word, ppt, publisher), Internet Explorer, and .pdf files.  In the windows office, my word and power point are version 2002 SP3.  Publisher is version 2003.
    - I have installed, deleted, re-installed drivers several times with no luck
    - I uses A909n (8500 premier)
    - Files might or might not reproduce the problem.  I can print the file and it will give me multiple copies.  I can then close and immediately open and print and I will not get multiple copies
    - In my case the number of copies seems random.  Usually in the 6-12 copies range
    How do I live with this?  Well it annoys me, but when I print if I notice that I am getting multiple copies, I go to the printer queue on Windows and delete the job.  Since my main computer is XP, the problem is not so huge, but my wife's computer is one of the vista computers and she likes to abuse her "IT guy" (me).  So it is certainly an annoyance.  I am convinced it is the printer driver, but I cannot prove it.
    Anything you want me to try, I would be willing to (except re-install windows... I ain't doing that for a printer).

  • Cannot start HP Printing Software (HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 A910a)

    Hello,
    When I doubleclick on the HP Software icon on my desktop strange behavior results. Nothing opens and my computer behaves erratically. After quite a while I get the following error messages:
    instancefinderdlg.exe
    werfault.exe
    Then, after this - my computer sort of reboots all by itself. But not a full reboot - it just goes back to the initial logon screen and I re-enter my Windows password, and the desktop shows.
    I am running Windows 8.1 Pro (64 bit). The printer is set up to operate wirelessly. 
    After doubleclicking on the HP Software icon and waiting a long time for the software to open, as I mentioned above, one thing I tried was a ctrl-alt-del and opened Task Manager. I checked the services running and there was multiple instances of an HP service running (I don't recall the name but there seemed to be dozens of the same HP service running).
    I also completely uninstalled all HP software using Revo Uninstaller, and then re-installed the complete software / driver package for the OfficeJet Pro 8500 A910a - but this did not make any difference; exactly the same problems ocurred again. 
    This has only happened in recent days. Prior to this I was able to doubleclick on the HP software icon and the software opened normally and I was able to check settings, ink levels, etc. Interestingly, the printer still seems to function well - I can print from Word, print photos from Lightroom, etc. I just can't open the HP Printer Software from my desktop.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
    This question was solved.

    Hello again,
    I tried the first part but it did not work.
    However, the second more detailed part (with the 9 steps), appears to have worked! I now can double-click on the HP Printer icon and everthing functions as it used to previously.
    I would like to take this opportunity to thank you very, very much! You have been very patient with me as a customer and very persistent and determined to find a solution. Over the course of several days you suggested various possible solutions. When something did not work, you did not give up but continued to search for a solution. You really are a very fine example of what customer service should be. You deserve a big raise! Thanks again.

  • Adobe Indesign CS4 Crashing When Printing To HP OfficeJet Pro 8500

    Adobe Indesign in crashing when I select print. The only printer I have is the OfficeJet Pro 8500 (A909g) I am running the latest version of OS. (OS 10.10.1) I have uninstalled Indesign and reinstalled it from my disc. There is no update to the version I loaded. (There are newer versions of Indesign and Creative Suite) I reset the printers in system preferences. I have checked Software Update to make sure I have the latest driver. I am running  Indesign on my other computer using OS 10.10.1 so I doubt that is an issue. Other Adobe software prints fine. All other programs that I have print fine as far as I can tell. I have run diagnostic software without success.

    Hi,
    Adobe might be a better resource to check a such, as any other application work as expected as you mention.
    by checking its system requirements, it seems as CS4 is incompatible with Yosemite and that may explain a such:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/system-requirements.html#main_InDesign_CS4_system_requirements
    As I can see only InDesign CC (2014) is compatible with Yosemite.
    I would suggest trying InDesign's support communities below, there are more expertize users for a such:

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g seems to destroy printheads

    My wife and I have identical “HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g Series” (S/N: [Edited for Personal Information] for my printer) printers bought within several months of each other. We have owned the printers since late 2009.
    My printer quit printing cyan completely and magenta partially. I replaced both ink cartridges, which did not fix the problem.  I then removed the printheads and cleaned the electrical contacts with denatured alcohol and also cleaned the contacts in the printer.  This did not fix the problem either.
    So I “borrowed” the printheads from my wife’s identical printer and placed it into my printer. That didn’t fix the problem either.  When I put the borrowed printheads back into my wife’s printer, it immediately displayed the same symptoms as my printer (it wouldn’t print cyan at all and partially did not print magenta.
    The “Self Test Diagnostic Page” of both printers state that the printheads are “Good” in both printers.
    During the “Align Printer” task, the LCD on the printer displays a message indicating that the printhead(s) are bad.
    Question: is it possible that the printer itself is faulty and causing the printheads to permanently not work correctly?
    Second Question: If my printer is bad, what other similar models of all-in-one printers use the same ink cartridges?

    Hello Neil-in-Tucson,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with the Printheads on your printer.
    Are you seeing any error codes on the printers display screen?
    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.
    If you like, you can try 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. They will be able to get into more detailed troubleshooting.

  • Cannot find Officejet Pro 8500 A909g on network

    We have several PC's/laptops connected to our wireless network and they all use the same printer, ( Officejet Pro 8500 A909g )
    My personal laptop was working fine with the printer untill Vista crashed and I upgraded to Windows 7. I downloaded the software and driver for Win 7 and installed it. The printer still works fine with all the other printers, proving it is connected to the network. I have total access to the network and are using other functions like DVRDB etc with Win 7 via the network.
    Yet during the installation process it doesn't pick up the network printer on my laptop.. All the trouble shooting answers are reputed by the fact that the printer is working fine with the other PC's/laptops. The Network test report can't find any problems either plus I connect fine to the internet etc via the network.
    I disabled all Firewalls and still can't find the network printer.
    It might be that I named the PC the same when I re-installed Win 7 but the laptop IP address changed. (I couldn't remember what it was so it was changed)
    Could anyone suggest anything I can do to get this fixed?
    Cheers

    I have just purchased a Officejet Pro 8500 A909g and trying to setup a wired connection and having the same issues. The install worked up until the "Detecting Network" process and then hung for about 30 mins. I have run the HP network utility, as suggested on the site, & the printer is visible! I have also successfully setup the software on another Windows 7 (64bit) system without any issues.
    I am guessing that I have some form of driver conflict causing an issue when I try and finalised the network setup. I am guessing this as I have had other similar issues with other network print servers. The question is how do I find out what the issue is without a complete OS reinstall!

    No, your printer is not AirPrint capable and cannot be.  You can try other printing apps, like HP's ePrint Home & Biz.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g - scanning

    I am running windows 7, 64 bit OS, and and have a wireless 4 in 1 Printer, copier fax and scanner HP Office Jet Pro 8500 A909g. I can print fine to the printer as it prints to an IP address 192.168.0.04, but when I try to scan a document it won't complete the operation because it says it can't find the scanner. When I click on the Scan router it tells me it is set for an IP address of 192.168.0.02, and there appears no way to amend that to 04. Anyone suggest anything, other than uninstall and re-install the 4 in 1? I have used the HP print and scan doctor to no avail!

    Hi there,
    I understand you're having an issue scanning with your Officejet 8500 A909G printer. I'm sorry to hear this has been happening to you, but will certainly do my best to help!
    When you ran the HP Print and Scan Doctor, were you able to run the Fix Printing and the Fix Scanning functions?
    Did it give any errors at all? Or did everything check out okay?
    Once I have this information I should be able to instruct you what to try next.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g and eprint

    Hi. 
    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g
    I want to print from my ipad and my samsung galaxy sIII . 
    I tried to set up the apps, but I can't find my printeres emailadress. I followed the instructions but find nothing. 
    From the hp-website this printer should be able to work with the apps, but how?
    Kind regards Thor

    The printer that you have listed will not have an ePrint email address because it does not support ePrint.  However you can use the ePrint app that is available when the app asks for email address choose skip.  In order to use the app you must make sure your wireless device is connected to the same network as your printer.  I am included a link for you to see ePrint supported printers and capabilities for each. 
    Let me know if this helps.
