I have a pro 8500 a910 on a wired network and i want to scan to a network folder on a NAS

Pro 8500 a 910
Window 7 Pro Bit
Connected to my network via a wired connection
I have a Pro 8500 a 910 and at the moment I successfully scan documents to a folder on my PC
I wish to scan to a folder on a NAS storage device that is on my network
How ever when I try to set this up I don't seem able to get it to connect when I run the connection test.
I do not know if I have the username/passwords wrong or the path is incorrect
I have tried inputting my PC username and password as well as the NAS's username and password
The path I am trying is \\mesh-PC\Network\NAS\outlookpartnerships\NAS Scans
mesh-PC being my PC and the folder names after NAS is the location on the storage device
I have tried all combinations of folders and user names etc but at the moment I don't seem to able to get it to work.
Any assistance you can give me in this matter would be appreciated

Firstly, time to get rid of the 2 x 512MB FBDIMMs in there, they add more heat and use more watts then they add to the system. If you need more, and 4 or 8 DIMMs is ideal, Amazon has 2x2GB sets $22 - about 1/50th what I paid for 1GB new.
Buy a 250GB Samsung EVO SSD $129
Pick up Carbon Copy Cloner http://www.bombich.com to clone the system to the SSD
A sled adapter for the SSD from Icy Dock $14 Amazon.com
7-8 years overdue for new system drive! amazed it lasted this long. An SSD plus some WD Black 2TB drives or larger should do the trick.
you can also put the SSD in the lower optical drive bay and use one of the two ODD "spare" SATA ports for the SSD - an SSD is the best way to improve the performance of our old Mac Pro 2006-7 models.
When you downloaded the Lion installer that was when to create a flash type installer with Lion DiskMaker.
If you have put in a new-ish graphic card then OS X 10.6.0 may not support it.

My HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910 will no longer print aqua.

My HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910 will no longer print aqua. I just tried two new cartridges and when I clean the heads, no aqua prints. I get no error messages however.
One possible issue: Recently I used a new HP aqua print cartridge (940XL version) that kept stalling my printer. If my printer sat without printing for 10 minutes or more, the only way I could get it to print would be to shut down the printer and restart it. Then, as long as I kept printing, it worked fine. When I replaced the problematic print cartridge the printer works fine except now it won't print aqua. Could the problematic cartridge damaged something?
I looked at the print head and it looks fine. What is strange is that NO AQUA INK at all shows on the print head page.
What should I do? Help!

HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910 softwre support

Hi,
Im having HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910. I am here to enquire whether the software can get a update or patches done ? or each specific printer comes with a specific software which cannot be updated
Thanking in advance
Anna

Hi Anna,
When you install the software of the printer on to your PC the HP Update software also gets installed (Provided you have not excluded that option). And if the HP Update software is installed then it will automatically check for updates and patched periodically and inform you if there are any updates or patches available.
Thanks.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 a910 wireless connectivity issues?

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 a910 and It was working fine. I got a new router and it was still working fine. Second night of having everything set up it stops working and shows as offline on my computer. It will print information about the printer from thecomputor but will not print out any other documents.

I'm having the same issues. In my case, first I updated my MacBook Pro to OS X 10 Mavericks. A few days ago, the Actiontec gateway router provided by my ISP Frontier Communications ceased to function. Frontier sent a Netgear 7550 gateway router to replace it. I installed it according to directions. My email capability and home network went down. Frontier helped to restore the email but the techs I worked with couldn't figure out what to do to restore my wireless network. The router's setup would not allow me to replace the WPA Shared Key with the wireless network password I used previously. So, I updated the ASUS range extender and all the wireless devices that were on my home network with the new WPA key. Both printers, the Officejet Pro 8500A 910 and a Brother wireless laser, will not network. The Officejet blue wireless icon no longer lights up. I uninstalled the Officejet's software and then downloaded and installed the latest software and drivers for the Officejet Pro 8500A 910. The HP Network Configuration printout indicates that its network status is ready and the active connection type is wireless. I had it connected to my Mac with a USB cable so I could reinstall the software and drivers. When I disconnected the cable, I lost connection to the Officejet and couldn't print. the HP utility could not establish a wireless connection even though I did input all the new router settings. The Officejet thinks it's wireless but it isn't. I can only conclude that my Officjet is delusional. It's not all that old, but could it be ready for the all-in-one graveyard?

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Pro 8500 A910 black will not print, says printhead is OK

I have an HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 A910. It no longer prints black, even with a new toner cartridge. Have followed all procedures recommended to solve problem. Printhead diagnostics says black/yellow printhead is OK. Any suggestions?

Everything seems to move correctly, but just does not print. Occasionally it does print a faded incomplete print out more often in a blue. All carttridges are new HP solutions center does show filled ink in all stations. Using WIN XP. Printer had done well for about 3-4 yrs.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910, 2 sections different paper size, prints incorectly

I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910.
My Word document has 2 pages in 2 sections the first page and section is an envelope and the second page is a letter. On the 8500, if I choose to print just the 2nd page (the letter) it uses the envelope paper size and print half the width. Tried Word 2003/2007/2010 same thing.
This prints fine on an BusinessJet pro2230

Hi monkplayer,
It looks like your problem is solved? There wasn't a problem with the printer itself, just the printer settings on your Mac?
This is good information though. We don't always have detailed solutions for customers that are using Safari, since it is hard to write instructions for the general public with specific steps for each operating system.
Best of luck,

HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910 drivers won't install

I moved and when hooking my HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910 Printer up it would not work and indicated I needed to install a full driver. I have had nothing but trouble with this printer since purchasing it!! I had previously hard wired it to make it usable (barely). Thinking I would only need to plug the Cat 5 cables in and be up and running, I was irritated to find it wouldn't work. I downloaded the driver but when I it came to installing it I received an error message stating the driver could not be installed. I downloaded a K850 series driver and got it to print but it wouldn't scan. Unfortunately, I uninstalled the K850 driver and now I get the same error message when attempting to reinstall it. I have followed all of the HP solution steps disabling all startup & security stuff, etc. to no avail. It will not install the drivers. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910 won't scan

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910 set up wireless. It prints from my computers fine. Makes copies fine. It won't scan. I get messages saying it is in useas a scanner or that it can't communicate with the scanner. Disabling firewalls doesn't solve problem.

Okay, I have found the solution to about 85% of your problems. Just throw it away (J/K). What I did was.......
Uninstall the entire HP Products from my PC. Then Reinstalled using the HP installation disc. Now here is the part that 8500 users need to do in order to scan documents to they're computer.
Click Start menu, Then click All Programs, Then click HP, Then click HP 8500 folder (in my case its HP Officejet pro 8500 A910) , Then click connect a new Printer, then select Network (Ethernet/Wireless), Follow the steps and installation steps (I know it seems like you've done this already when installing the software, but it's doing something different. TRUST ME) And Voila. No need to thank me, Im just saving alot of people out there some headaches. Now to let mines go. Whew

Unable to send fax Fax-HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910

I have a Fax-HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910 All-In-One. I had to reinstall it. It is telling me that I have installed it correctly and is on the network. I installed without using a USB. I am on wireless networking.
I have tried several times to send a fax. I'll imput the numbers, then I'll hear the ring. It continues to ring several times, then it will hang up and print out a notice saying, "No answer". I know I have the correct number. I tried another fax to a different number and receive the same outcome.

Welcome to the forums @Tomalene ,
I understand you are having some troubles with sending faxes. I would suggest checking out the guide below and trying the steps. Afterwards you should be able to fax again!

HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910 Premium will not fax from computer with Windows 8

My printer worked great on Win XP and I could fax directly from the printer or from the computer. I installed Windows 8 32 bit (I'm running an older system that works fine for everything I use it for -thank you very much), and downloaded the latest greatest HP driver & software for Win 8 32 bit. Everything works perfectly, except faxing from the computer.
If I run the fax test from the printer, the fax test PASSES. If I run the fax test from the computer, the fax test PASSES.
If I put documents in the printer feeder and use the printer fax functions, it faxes beautifully.
It is only when I fax from the computer, the screen pops up with a status of spooling, then the status turns to Cancelled every time.
It always worked on Win XP.
The FAX printer and FAX driver for the FAX printer showed up in Control Panel automatically when I installed the updated drivers/software from HP. All the properties on the FAX printer look good.
I tried a usb connection, and a network ethernet connection, with the same results.
Printing and scanning all work fine. I really like this printer, and I would like it even more if I could figure out how to get it to fax a document from the computer.
When I say fax from the computer, I mean opening a document, saying Print, selecting Fax - HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910, filling in the fax information page, selecting my cover page options, and pressing the send fax. All just like I used to do before I upgraded to Win 8. When I hit send fax, that is when I get the popup that the fax is spooling, then it goes to cancelled. No error codes are displayed, no clues as to why, no nothing. If I print the document and put it in the printer document feeder, I can fax it using the printer display screen no problem.
Very bizarre.
This question was solved.

Alright, I spoke with some of the engineers and they suggested the next few steps. First, here is a thread on an MS forum about removing a driver in an alternate fashion.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730875.aspx
Another thing to note is that in Win8 you can easily access the Command Prompt by hitting the windows key and typing “command prompt.”
Additionally, I will PM you some further steps on removing the vestiges of the software from the back-end of your PC. You will HAVE to be sure to follow those instructions to the letter.
Do these two things and let me know what happens after you install the printer again from the direct download link I have already provided above.
Let me know and have a great day!

Officejet Pro 8500 A910 Not Printing & Heads won't clean.

I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910. It has not been used for about 2 months until yesterday, but was left powered on. The Black, Yellow and Cyan carts were getting a bit low and my wife want to print a few dozen pages of black text. I had a HP 940 Black cart to hand so I replaced it. She printed about 2 dozen Word pages in draft format which uses less ink. They printed OK, but when she went to print more, the print got fainter with each page until they were coming out of the printer totally blank then when the cyan ran out the printer stopped printing blank pages all together. I installed new HP Cyan and Yellow carts, but the printer continued to spit out blank pages. I printed a Quality Diagnostic Page and it showed one column of blocks in Test Pattern 2 missing completely and some white streaks in at least one of the colored blocks. At this point the Ink cart levels were K=90, Y=90, M=50, C=90. The Print Head Health was KY=Good, MC=Good. At this point I ran an Alignment and the report showed all colors except Cyan which was completely missing. I had remembered from a few year ago, that this is one simple way to show if color heads were not printing. I then performed 3 successive level 1, 2 and 3 cleanings, and each time the cleaning report showed less color until only faint yellow showed on the printout. Also the alignment now only shows faint traces of yellow. I suspect the heads need to be either replaced or removed and cleaned manually. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much in advance. Peter B.
