I can't get many pages out of my Officejet 6500

My new Office Jet 6500 doesn't print many pages before it runs out of ink. I have an old Photo Smart P1000 that I get twice as many printed pages from. What the heck is wrong???

There are a couple of things to consider.  First, the low on ink indicator is an estimate designed to give a warning enough in advance to allow you to have time to buy a fresh supply.  You do not need to replace the ink when you get the warning, you can wait until it actually runs out.  Secondly, some ink is used for servicing the printheads.  This printer has individual ink supplies and printheads (IIC).  The printer is most efficient when actually printing.  If the printer is used very infrequently a different model may be more suitable.  See this page for a desciption of how ink is used.
You might consider the XL versions of the cartridges, they typically have about three times the ink at twice the price.  For plain paper printing you might try printing in fast draft mode, this provides print quality that is adequate.  Fast draft mode uses about half the ink of normal or best mode.

    Hi everyone,
    I have a simple page out of which I created a template. The problem is: When I want to create new pages out of this template, I recieve "Nested Editable Regions",Unbalanced Head Tag" and "Inconsistent region names" error messages. I had a look at some forums but I could not fix it.
    I appreciate your assistance...
    Below is the source code....

  • I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    Hi, I'm helping StringSinger2 with this problem.
    The previously installed version is Pages 3.0.3 (the same as from iWork 08). This version (Pages 3.0.3/iWork 08) is incompatible with Pages 5.
    That is why it would be helpful to install iWork 09, which is the version between the two. It will open the older 08 files, and its saved files are readable by the new Pages5.
    SO...
    When I try to install iWorks 09 from my retail DVD the error message is "the installer is damaged". (I know the dvd is good, I installed iWorks09 to my laptop today.) Is the "installer" part of the system files? And - If that is damaged is there a patch for that?
    Many Thanks!

    The DVD should be ejected once the first command has been issued. There are some other options available on this page.

    One suggestion worked from the Firefox prints incorrectly link mentioned above by mha007. I'm thrilled since this has been annoying me for weeks. Thanks mha007!
    Reset all Firefox printer settings
    # Open your profile folder:
    # On the menu bar, click on the Help menu and select Troubleshooting Information. The Troubleshooting Information tab will open.
    # Under the Application Basics section, click on Show in Finder. A window with your profile folder will open.
    # Note: If you are unable to open or use Firefox, follow the instructions in Finding your profile without opening Firefox.
    # On the menu bar, click on the Firefox menu and select Quit Firefox.
    # In your profile folder, copy the prefs.js file to another folder to make a backup of it.
    # Open the original prefs.js file in a text editor (such as TextEdit).
    # Remove all lines in prefs.js that start with print. and save the file.
    # If something goes wrong when you open Firefox, close it again and overwrite prefs.js with the backup you made.

  • How can I get the best out of my battery life?

    There are a variety of things you can do to extend your device battery life, and use your phone for longer periods of time to see you through the day.
    Set your screen to timeout after a period of inactivity. This way your phone is not sitting idle with the screen backlight consuming extra energy. The recommended screen timeout is 30 seconds, but most phones will allow from 15 seconds to 10 minutes.
    Turn off location services (GPS), Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not using these functions. When they're on, your phone constantly searches for your current location and open networks, which has a big impact on battery life.
    Turn down the screen brightness. For example, on an iPhone 4 the lowest brightness setting gives roughly 6.5 hours of continuous use, whereas the highest setting gives roughly 3.5 hours. You can always adjust the brightness when you're outside so you can still see your screen clearly. Some devices have an auto-brightness setting, where the phone adjusts the screen brightness depending on the light around it.
    Close your applications. On smartphones, returning to the ‘home' screen only minimises your apps – they keep running in the background. Closing your apps fully will save power; for example, on Samsung Galaxy devices hold down the home button for two seconds to see a list of all open apps. You can then swipe these to the left of the screen to exit them completely. On an Apple product, double press the home button to bring up all active applications and exit from there.

    Re: How can I get the best out of my battery life?
    Hi,
    When I make phone calls people on the other end have difficulty hearing me. They describe as they can hardly hear me as if I was speaking through the pillow etc). I am not touching any buttons and obviously it is not mute. This was happening couple of time in June, then every now and then. Recently it happened a few time in 2 weeks. I was trying to check if it was a reception issue but the place I spoke from is my office I make 70% of phone calls from. Can you book time for me in repair shop and address the issue.
    Thank you.

  • A year later...same question: How can I get a Pages document embedded ???

    How can I get a Pages document embedded into an email? (so that the recipient sees it immediately and does NOT have to open a PDF). Although I know a PDF is universal and would allow anyone (mac or not) to open, read and see my business newsletter, I want it to be instantaneous for viewing. So, which leads me to a question I've kicked around for a year now on this discussion board. How do I turn a Pages doc into html for email purposes? If there isn't a way with Pages, How about with Word (the newest version) for Mac? Someone has to know this art, I receive emails like this all the time, probably from Apple! ha ha .
    Please help!

    In Mail.app, single page PDF are directly readable so you may try to
    print your page #1 in a PDF
    then
    print your page #2 in a PDF
    and so on.

    As Apple removed the export to html feature, I assume that it's no to reintroduce it one day

  • Pages doesn't offer HTML, how can I get a Pages doc to be embedded?

    How can I get a Pages document embedded into an email? I do not want to turn it into a pdf... what are my options. I have Freeway 5 Express if this helps.
    How-to's and suggestions welcome.

    What exactly do you mean? Do you just mean you want to be sure it shows as an inline attachment? You can't really control that, if so, since it depends on the recipient's mail program/server/personal settings. This is true for real HTML mail, too.
    There is nothing to guarantee that if you could easily convert a pages document to HTML, the recipient would not receive it as just an attachment. In any case, I suppose you could copy/paste into a freeway file, publish that to the desktop and attach it, but really, PDF is a much, much better choice.

  • My InDesign document has two page 1s and I can't get the page numbers to work.  Help!

    My InDesign document has two page 1s and I can't get the page numbers to work.  Help!  How do I fix this?

    Do you mean the first section is starting at page one?
    And the second one now is starting at page two?
    So I would ask why you would need sections at all?
    Did you set the controls for Automatic Page Numbering?
    If you select the particular page where section two is starting in the Pages Panel, you could untick the Start Section option in the numbering and section dialog. That would remove the section. You cannot do that with the very first section, but you should set the first section to Automatic Page Numbering if you ever want to use your document with an inDesign book file.

  • How can I get my data out of a crashed drive?

    I need help. Crashed hard drive. How can I get the data out?

    First have to define what a 'crashed drive' is, so we'll know how to respond.
    If you boot to an installer DVD does Disk Utility see the drive? What does it tell you about the drive?
    If the drive is showing up but not mounting it may be possible to repair it and get the data off yourself -
    But if it isn't even showing up then you may need to take it to a recovery specialist to get the data off it. This is costly and not guaranteed to always work.
    Did you replace the drive in the MBP and install a new OS on a new drive?
    Or is it still in the MBP and you are trying to recover it from there?
    One type of 'crash' is a head crash, usually caused by a impact or jarring to the drive while it is spinning which bounces the heads off the platters. This removes some of the magnetic media off the platters typically rendering it unrecoverable.
    So first priority is tell us precisely where you are with this drive, what you see, what you have tried, what the symptoms are, and what you need to accomplish.

  • How can I get my iPhone out of landscape mode and back to portrait?

    How can I get my iPhone out of landscape mode and back to portrait? Tilting the phone doesn't work.

    Try following - 1 by 1:-
    * make sure portrait lock is not on & try turning on/off several times
    * turn off mobile and turned it back on
    * hard reset by pressing lock and home at same time
    If problem persist, you need to try following but be careful since the following impact your iphone.
    * resetting all setting: this will reset all settings of your iphone back to factory setting
    * resetting all setting by erasing all data: this will reset all setting and erase all data so do back-up and proper syncing and read relevant details
    * restoring from itunes: this will also erase all data and take mobile back to day 1
    last 3 options are last resort and only be done if you are sure you can restore your data.
    Please don't hold me responsible for any data loss while doing last 3 options
    Cheers!
