I cannot open the middle part of the Officejet Pro 8500A

I just bought this and it appears stuck and will not open (4a) of instruction sheet. It looks in the illustration as if you simply pull up but I cannot open it at all.

Hi sandrayannetta,
If you can see the jammed paper at the front tray, or you cannot see the paper either at the paper output slot or at the front tray, remove the paper from the transport unit.  Remove the paper following the procedure below:
Turn the machine off, then unplug the power cord.
Stand the machine with the right side facing down.
If you can see the jammed paper at the front tray, stand the machine with the front tray open.
Important:
When you stand the machine, confirm that the document cover is closed.
When you stand the machine, hold it securely and be careful not to hit it on a hard object.
Push the open lever to open the transport unit.
(A) Open lever
When you open the transport unit, support it with your hand so that it does not fall down.
Pull out the jammed paper slowly.
Note:
If the paper is rolled up and it is difficult to remove, grasp the edges of the paper, then remove the jammed paper.
If you cannot remove the jammed paper from the transport unit, close the transport unit, stand the machine upright, then open the paper output cover to remove the paper.
. Close the transport unit.
Note:After you close the transport unit, do not keep the machine standing upright.
Plug the machine back in and turn the machine back on.
Reload the paper.  All print jobs in the queue are canceled. Reprint if necessary.

    Hello,
    Without having any specifics, I might suggest going to this link which is an excellent document that describes Airprint printing issues and what to do about them.  Good Luck!

  • Cannot get Wireless Printing to setup on OfficeJet Pro 8500A

    I just purchased the OFFICEJET PRO 8500A and am not able to setup the wireless to work properly
    I ran the wireless setup through the printer - it found my network, I entered the WEP - it says it's connected and lists the IP address as 169.254.24.215 .  I've run the wireless network test report and there are NO ISSUES on it. 
    When I load the software and enter the IP address above, it can't find it.  I'm running Windows XP.  I also loaded the software onto my wireless laptop running Windows Vista and I get the same issue there.  The software does not find the printer on my network.
    I have a verizon ACTIONTEC wireless router.  When I go to the Verizon Broadband page that shows all my active connections I don't see the printer or any device with the IP address of 169.254.24.215.  In fact, ALL of the devices (wireless, ethernet and Coax) that I have setup and listed have IP addresses starting with192.168 so this seems odd to me as well.
    I've run the diagnostic software and it can't find the printer either.  I've loaded, unloaded and downloaded the software from the HP site - same issue.  I've turned off ALL firewalls, shut down, etc.  Still nothing. 
    Can anyone help?  I'm sure I'm not the only person experiencing this!  Thanks!

    Hi,
    a 169. ip adress actually shows you its not connected as this is whats called an apipa adress which is assigned when not connected or when connected directly to a pc or other network device. To be on your network the units need to get an ip adres like 192.168 as well.
    So go into the setup menu of the unit and find the network menu. In there select restore network default and run the wireless wizard again. But before doing this you can try turning the router security off temporaraly (wep isnt that safe anyway as it can be cracked with free software within 10 minutes, so you might want to change to a WPA key). When the security is turned off run the wizard and see if you get a 192.adres. if yes open your browser and go to the so called EWS of the printer by typing in the ip adres of the printer in the adres bar. From there go to the networking tab and fill in your security data and press apply. you will loose connection to the printer now. Restart the routers security and and the connection should return. You might need to restart the printer first btw.

    Is the printer currently connected to the wirless network? Print a test page and check on if the printer has a valid IP address. Here is how to print the test page: 
    Load letter or A4, unused, plain white paper into the product input tray.
    Press the Power button ( ) to turn on the product.
    On the product touch screen, touch the Right Arrow ( ) to display the second navigation screen.
    Touch Setup ( ) on the control panel display. The Setup Menu displays.
    Touch the Down Arrow ( ), and then touch Reports .
    Touch Printer Status Report . The self-test report prints. 
    Let me know if there is a IP address for the printer or if it says 0.0.0.0. 
    Thanks!

  • Cannot fax from my iMac to my Officejet Pro 8500A Plus A910g

    I have researched HP help and followed the directions on how to add the fax to my available printers, but when I try to fax a document, the printer prints 3 pages with one line ofcode on each but does not fax the document. If I use the fax feature on the 8500A, it works as designed. I can scan from the 8500A to the iMac and print from the iMan to the 8500A. I would like to be able to fax documents from the iMac without printing them and then faxing.

    Hi A-BPlumber,
    I would like to help you be able to send a fax from your mac without having to print it. Please ensure you are choosing the Fax driver next to the printer selection in the 'print' dialog box.
    Please take a look at the following document to ensure you have all of the appropriate settings correct; Sending Faxes Using the Fax Utility - Mac OS X

  • Will/is the Office Pro 8500A line going get the efax app in the future?

    I have the OfficeJet Pro 8500A Plus and would like to know if this product line would be getting the efax app in the future? The best I can tell it is limited to just the PhotoSmart C510.

    Hi upsmike3104,
    Currently, it's only the PS C510a series that has this feature. There might be an update for some regions about the addition of the efax service on eAIO printers. Just check product updates from time to time. See related post.

  • QuickTime cannot open the file: "trampoline.mov"

    I just got a new 2.1 GHz Power PC G5 iMac with 2.5 GB RAM, 500 GB HD running Tiger 10.4.5. I used migration assistant to transfer over all my apps. etc. from my PowerBook. I tried to open Quicktime (version 7.0.1) and I got this error "QuickTime cannot open the file: "trampoline.mov". I have no idea what this means or what it is referring to. I have no knowledge of the file "trampoline.mov". I am also getting "Can not build a preview because of a problem w/Quicktime" when I try to save a document in Photoshop CS2. It appears to save the document, and the error disappears. Once, however, I left the error message up on the screen for a few minutes, and I got a "generating preview" message that appeared underneath the error. It got stuck roughly in the middle of generating the preview, and I had to force quit the application. I would appreciate any help or advice on fixing this problem. Thank you, Regina
    2.1 GHz Power PC G5 iMac with 2.5 GB RAM, 500 GB HD   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Upgrade QuickTime to version 7.0.4 and your troubles may disappear.
    The trampoline.mov file is part of the QuickTime Player app and is used to "bounce" you to the Internet. Remove the check mark to "Show Content Guide" when QuickTime Player is launched (Player preferences).
    I don't know why you're getting a QT error when using Photoshop. Check the Adobe Site for updates.
    I suspect some settings got mucked up during the migration from your Powerbook.

    I am trying to run this package as an sql server agent job and  server is installed on my Machine. I have created proxy account with my own credential to execute it. I have full excess to the spread sheet and can open it in an excel program. Please
    suggest what could be the reason why sql job is not able to access this spreadsheet. I can think of below reasons
    File is password protected and I am not using its password to unlock it?
    My domain account is a part of It Admin group with high previllages
    when I installed my SQL server I installed it as a standalone instance of SQL server?
    please advise.
    regards
    JKH

    Hi Jahangir,
    Based on the error message that "The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file ''.  It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.", there are two causes:
    The account that SQL Agent is using does not have the correct permissions for the file or for the folder that contains the file.
    Another process or user has the file open.
    The following resolutions correspond to the previous list of causes:
    Since you use a network path to the file (UNC), check the account permissions on the share, the file, and the folder.
    The "another user" may be Microsoft Visual InterDev. Close any Visual InterDev projects that contain a data connection to the file. Please close all instances of excel file and re-run the package.
    Besides, we can use a tool like
    SQL Server Profiler to see what is happening when you run the package.
    Thanks,

  • Why is it when I try to load photoshop 5.5 it says "cannot open the application install 5.5 b/c the classic environment is no longer supported"?

    What does it mean; "cannot open the application photoshop 5.5 because the classic environment is not supported"

    It's not part of Mac OS X 10.5 on a PowerPC Mac or of any OS on an Intel Mac. You need to use Mac OS X 10.4.11 or earlier, or a newer Photoshop version.

  • What do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet

    what do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet. i have contacted apple support and they said to change from wep to wpa2 but when i change it to wpa2 and type in password and connect on my laptop it says the saved setting on this computer for the network do not match the require ments of the network

    My 2nd gen works fine with WPA2 and AES encryption.
    You may need to go back and start over.  Reset the router back to factory defaults, log on as the admin, set up security, DHCP, and make sure the IP address pool has enough IP addresses to lease to ALL of the computers/devices that will connect to that the router.

  • I downloaded mountain lion and then the new office suite (word, ppt, excel) but now when I try to display one of my ppt's it says 'ppt cannot open the file...the file may be corrupt, in use, not a type recognized by ppt etc.." how can I fix it?? HELP

    Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
    If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:

    PowerPoint is not an Apple product and it seems a lot of people around here avoid Office.

  • HT201412 I cannot open the month of March 2013 in my iPad3 calendar. I can however see it in the year view for 2013 and I can view the daily and weekly calendars for March 2013. Any ideas what has gone wrong ? Thanks

    I have a new iPad3 and have found I cannot open the month of March 2013 when I tap on it. All other months open OK ! I can see March 2013 in the yearly view and I can open the individual days, and weeks, of March 2013 but I cannot see the whole month in the monthly view. When I try to open the monthly view for March 2013 it returns me to the start screen which shows all the apps etc and closes the Calendar app. Any guidance of what is going wrong and how it can be corrected. Thanks !

  • I have installed a trail version of FrameMaker 12 and cannot open the book and chapter files in FrameMaker 8

    Hi
    My colleague and I use FrameMaker 8 but I'm considering whether it would be a good idea to upgrade to FrameMaker 12. So today I installed a trail version of FrameMaker 12.
    Before opening a book file in FM12, I copied it to another folder so I wouldn't mess up anything. Unfortunately, I forgot to copy the chapter files so I opened most of them from FM12. As soon as I found out about it, I copied them to the new folder, but too late.
    Now I'm not able to open the original files from FM8 (and even worse, neither can my colleague). I read somewhere else, that I should save the book file in the .MIF format (I tried both 12 and 7.0) and then open it from FM8. I tried that, but I still cannot open the chapter files.
    I get an error message saying: "Althoug xxx.fm appears to be a FrameMaker document, it can't be opened with this release of the product".
    I didn't make any changes to the chapter files when I looked at them in FM 12.
    What should I do? I case we decide not to upgrade, we will not be able to access this book which is a big problem. I already have some small changes that have to be made.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Back saving to MIF should work, but it’s probably faster to just retrieve a backup of the FM8 files & books and restore them over your botched FM12 versions. Then take a copy of that backup and put it on the trial machine to play away without impacting anything else.
