I have an Officejet 8500a Plus, but he can't find my Linksys Router

I just bought an Officejet 8500a Plus printer,
It can't find my Linksys router (WPA), all the other networks in this area are visible except our Linksys Router, with WPA security.
Tried to configure it with the software, connect the printer with USB, and tried to connect the linksys router, it say's: You're out of range of your wifi acces point(something like that)
HELP?

Here are a few tips:
1. Make sure 802.11g is present. Other wireless modes (like 802.11n) are OK, but g must be present.
2. Broadcast your SSID and do not use MAC filtering.
3. Make sure your router has the latest firmware.

I have a hp officejet pro 8500a plus. can i print in all black when the other ink colors are out?

i'd like to find out if there is a way i can still in black if i have one color cartridge empty

This model has separate ink supplies and printheads. Ink is required in all the colors to keep the printheads and plumbing from clogging. See this page for information on how ink is used.

Error 388 on my Officejet 8500a Plus printer

My paper feeder will only work intermittently on my officejet 8500a plus. It prints an error message 388* This error occurs when I'm trying to fax. What can I do to resolve this problem.

This error refers to error in connection line: Refer to below for more explanation.
Error Code: 386, 387, 388, 389, 390, 391, 392, 393, 394, 395
Definition
There is too much noise on the line for a valid connection between two fax machines to complete. The noise problem might go away over time.
Solution
Retry the fax reception at a different time when telephone line conditions have improved. Call the telephone provider if line conditions fail to improve.

I cannot get my HP Officejet 6500A Plus 710N to print in color. I have reinstalled the drivers..

I cannot get my HP Officejet 6500A Plus 710N to print in color. I have reinstalled the drivers. It used to print in color and just stopped. I think it may be a settings issue? I have checked the ink levels and they are all fine. When I print a diagnostic report on print qualify, the black prints well, but there is no color printing.

Okay, I had the same problem. It's most likely your printhead. All you have to due is clean it.
Note: I was sceptical of this approach but can fully attest to it's sound results as it restored my printer back to full functionality. Prior to this the printer only would print Black ink.
The print head is the carriage that holds all of your ink cartridges in the printer. On the 6500A it's super easy to remove. Opent your lid like your changing your ink cartridges. Remove all of your ink cartridges. Once they're out. There is a lever on the left side of the carrier that holdes your ink cartridges. Lift it up and the print head comes right out. Net take your print head to the sink and run it under hot water aiming towards the the four cirles were the ink flows into. Keep running it under the hot water until it is coming out clear. It's okay to run it under the bottom part too infact you'll need to inorder to get it completely rinsed out. Also don't touch the computer metal strips with your hand thought you can run water over them. Once your done rinsing use a blow dryer or a can of compressed air (thats what I did) to dry every thing out. I was able to get everything dry in about 5 minutes or so. Let it sit for a few minutes and check it again for water. I recommend moving it around to get full exposure to insure it is dry. Also if you use a hair dryer try to put it on a cold setting since there ar rubber grommets the surrount the inlet ink ports you wouldn't want to melt them with the hot air etc.. Like I said I used a can of compressed air. It's important to use a quick method of drying as mentioned otherwise mineral particles could become deposited on the unit. This won't happen with the methods as I've described because the molecules won't be able to bond since your blowint them off. Oh yeah, you'll want to place a clean peice of paper down as your blowing because at first you'll end up with a few black jet marks as your blowing. Also don't wear your favorite white shirt lol.
Okay once it's dry replace the print head carriage back in push the lever down install the ink cartridges. Close the lid then unplug the printer. Wait 5 seconds plug it back in then it will reboot and start its set up procedure kind of like whet you first bought the printer except you won't have to change any of your network or setup setting since they are saved in memory. Also be patient about the set up procedure it seemed very slow for me. Once it finishes you will be prompted to run the printer alignment process. Run the alignment process and you should be all good. If not at least you gave it a shot. If this doesn't work your going to have to pay $60 for a new printer head. Which is not that big of a deal but hey if you can fix it for free why not. If you do decide to buy a new printer head you might find deals online or ebay just make sure it's an Genuine HP print head. And lol use the Genuine HP ink cartridges. Finally make sure you print at least on colored page per month to make sure the ink doesn't clog up in the future.
Remember this suggestion is after you have run the HP clean ink cartridge procedure twice. Sometimes the clean procedure will correct the problem first. Also there is video I watched on YouTube about this just search for "Clean HP 6500 print head. Hope that helps
Once it's all dry just reinstall the printer head carriage

Officejet 8500A Plus prints purple and brown instead of red and orange

Officejet 8500A Plus prints purple and brown instead of red and orange on diagnostic page after cleaning printheads all three times. I have repalced the cartridges and checked the lind feed. I have used HP cartridges not refills.

Welcome to the forums GuidoB!
I read about the issues you have been having with your printheads and would like to help. I would suggest for you to troubleshoot by using the steps in the guide below. I hope this helps!

Windows 8 scanning on officejet 8500a Plus

After upgrading from Windows 7 to 8, I am unable to scan using my OfficeJet 8500a Plus. Downloaded the latest trouble shooter, and Printer seems to be installed and is default. I am able to print, but when I go to the print center and select the scanning option, I get an error message that the printer is not installed. Same things happens if I try to intiate a sccan from Acrobat pro 9. When I I select the printer from the drop down (only one there) I get an error that there is a network error. Followed trouble shooting steps on site, checked firewall settings (default windows firewall at this point) to no avail. Tried removing and reinstalling the printer, as well as re-intiating the wireless connection from the printer, No go.
Am able to print without a problem wirelessly, it's just the scanning that is a problem.

This sounds quite promissing. Will test as soon as I get back into town. If this works, we really need to put this out on the net, as apparently I am not alone in experiencing this type fo problem. I have seen all kind of different replies, but this seems to be the most logical.
I must say that it is somewhat frustrating that the new diagnostic tool that is supposed to identify and fix the problem, did not do this automatically, as programatically it does not seem like a major task to identify an outdated installation, uninstall it, and install a more updated version.
Thanks for your reply, and I will report back on the results.
best regards, and thanks for the quick reply!

My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air

Hi,
My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air. It keeps on showing "The printer is not connected", but the screen on the printer shows connected. I often reset the printer 'EVERY TIME" I want to use it. I also tried to turn off my laptop and printer several times before printing. If I'm lucky enough, it will work maybe for one or two prints. If no luck then I'll have to reset everything again. Sometimes I reset the printer, the printer will not show on my selection.
This question was solved.

Hello boojoo1tw,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're unable to print most times with your Officejet 8600. How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB? What is your operating system on your Mac computer? Click here to find out.
If your printer is wireless, then I would recommend assigning a "Static IP Address" by following this HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.

I had a similiar problem, with my multiple devices. I open iTunes and when all devices were connected I went to the info section on each device. Under info I checked the sync calandars. Under that I click all calanders. I then did the apply in low right. I then did the sync function and it fixed it for me. You have to do this for each device.
I also checked the device (ipad,Iphone) themselves and change the calander selection to NO Catagory. Hope this helps.

Officejet Pro 8500A Plus can't scan to e-mail

I have an Officejet Pro 8500A Plus and Windows 7 32-bit OS and using Outlook 2010. I'm trying to scan to e-mail and am having no luck. From the printer interface I choose SCAN --> COMPUTER --> (MyComputer) --> E-MAIL AS PDF. It performs the scan, but then on my computer, I get the following error:
"The HP Scan application is unable to open your e-mail application and/or cannot attach the scan to a new email. Please check your email configuration and try again."
I've checked the configuration in CONTROL PANEL --> DEFAULT PROGRAMS --> SET YOUR DEFAULT PROGRAMS. I made sure that I selected Microsoft Outlook and clicked Choose Defaults For This Program. I then selected all Extenstions and Protocols and still no luck.
Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution? Thanks. You may be wondering why I don't just use the Scan to Email instead of scan to computer. Well, unless there's a way to import all 400+ contacts from my Outlook to the address book in the scanner, this is the fastest way for me to scan an item and send it as an e-mail to various people.
Thanks.

Hi TanaS,
I understand that you're trying to setup ePrint. Most users when setting up ePrint do not require entering a proxy address.
Are you having trouble setting up ePrint?
Are you getting an error message when you try to setup ePrint?

Installed eprint app on ipad2 and iphone, have compatible printer hp oj 8500a , but can't print

I have installed the eprint app on my Ipda2 and Ipone 3gs and still not able to print anything except pictures?? can't figure out why when I'm in email, documents, etc eprint nir airprint come up. My printer is an HP OfficeJet Pro 8500a Plus, compatible with both. If I use Print Direct App i can print documents I save to that app but don't really want to use that and prefer to use airprint or eprint. HELP

Hi lobsterdiver1,
I would recommend:
Going to the Web Services menu inside the Setup menu.
Enabling Web Services.
Install any updates that are available after enabling web services (the printer will prompt your or you can manually check for updates under the Web Services menu).
Make sure your iPad and iPhone are connected to the same network as the printer.
Try the AirPrint option located in one of the default apps (Safari, Photos, or Mail).
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!
