Is it possible to turn an hp 6500 all in 1 printer into a bluetooth printer for toshiba thrive?

Hi, i have 2 wireless hp 6500 all in 1 printers (1 upstairs and 1 downstairs).  2 of my relatives each have a toshiba thrive and they want to print to the downstairs printer.  i haven't had a good day to play around with everything but neither of them can print.  1 of them doesn't have a computer as hers died.  i am working on my old one to give to her till she can afford a new one and she doesn't use the tablet because she cant print from it.  i did try for a bit and i tried google cloud print, hp's apps and no success. 
where i work, their was a printer that had a usb-like device into it and another one like it to a computer and the printer could print wirelessly via bluetooth.  the printer was a dell red product that is no longer sold.  i was wondering if i cant print from the tablet via traditional means, can i ( if the printer doesn't already have the capability), use a similar device and print via bluetooth from the thrive to the hp.     

No, you cannot scan over the network, unless the printer has network capability.. in which case the printer must connect via ethernet or wireless not USB.
All USB printers are designed as local printers not network.

  • IPod Touch conflict with HP 6500 All-in-One printer...

    Does anyone know of anyone who has an iPod Touch installed with an HP all-in-one printer and running under Windows 7 64 bit? If so I'd like to hear from them and see if I can pick their brains a bit. In fact, I'd like to hear from anyone who has an iPod Touch working with an HP all-in-one on a desktop system, no matter the OS.
    Originally I tried to get them to work together under a 32 bit Windows 7 Premium build on an MSI G31M3-F V2 mobo but couldn't get the iPod and the All-in-One to work together. Either the iPod wouldn't synch or the printer would disconnect.
    Yesterday I started with a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit build on an Asus P5Q-EM mobo with just the HP 6500 All-in-One and the printer and all of its functions were working perfectly.
    Then I plugged in the iPod, after having installed the newest 64 bit version of iTunes, and it detected the device but wouldn't complete the driver installation. I powered down the HP 6500 and the iPod installation completed.
    I then turned the printer on and it appeared to work but the iPod wouldn't complete the sync process unless I turned the printer off.
    Then I changed the drive letter of the HP all-in-one's integrated card reader from "E:" to "G:" and rebooted and it appeared that everything was working. I brought the scanner up but didn't actually scan anything but, still, no disconnect messages. Finally, success I thought. Silly me...
    Today my daughter tried to send a fax from the computer. It started the scan, stopped after only partially scanning and said that the printer was disconnected.
    She then rebooted and tried to scan a photo and it did essentailly the same thing -- a partial scan, froze, and then reported the printer offline.
    Uninstalling the iPod Touch device resulted in the printer coming back online and all functions working perfectly.
    There is clearly a conflict at the device/driver assignment level and I don't know if its even anything that I can fix.
    This should not be this hard.
    Has anyone any experience with the iPod Touch running on a desktop that also has an HP All-in-One device installed?

    Finally installed a completely new OS and then, before doing anything else, installed iTunes and connected the iPod. Installed everything else with the HP printer being the very last thing.
    Wa La... Worked as advertised...

  • Officeject 6500 all in one Printer

    I recently had to have my computer system XP restored to solve some issues.  Best Buy did the work and reinstalled my software
    Now the functions on the control panel do not work.  For instance enlarge or reduce etc.  I believe these did work without using the computer before the reinstall.  If there is an answer for this I would appreciate the help as I do not want to take the computer and printer back for servicing again

    Hi there,
    There are likely some underlying software issues caused by the restore, try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
    Best of Luck!

  • HP 6500 all in one not printing in black and cartridge is full

    my printer suddenly stopped printing in black, all other colors come out fine.  The carriage moves as though it is printing, but the page is blank, where black text should be.  I have cleaned and aligned the print heads several times.  This occurred after an HP tech uninstalled and reinstalled my HP software and drivers.  Prior to this had problems on and off, but it was easy to run print and scan to repair it.  Now print and scan says they find no problem with the printer.

    Hey @Theresalbritt,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you are not able to print in black ink on your HP Officejet 6500 All-in-One Printer. I would like to assist you today with resolving this print quality issue. Thank you for including the troubleshooting steps you have completed prior to reaching out for support. To start troubleshooting I am going to have you print a standalone Print Quality Diagnostics Report from your printer. This report will help us determine if this issue was caused by a software or driver conflict on your computer or a hardware issue on your printer that coincidentally occured when the HP Technical Support agent was working with you. Once we determine if this issue is hardware or software and driver related I will be happy to guide you towards a solution. Please follow the steps below. 
    How to Print Quality Report:
    On the product control panel, press the Setup button () until Print Report displays, and then press OK.
    Press the Right Arrow button () to select Print Quality Report, and then press OK. The report prints.
    If this report prints perfectly: Than the issue that you're experiencing is not hardware related. Rather, there is a driver or software conflict occuring on your computer that is affecting your black print quality. Please do not proceed with troubleshooting at this time.
    If this report prints with quality defects or missing black: Than the quality issue that you're experiencing is being caused by a hardware issue within your printer. This issue may be due to a defective Printhead system. In no way does the computer affect this hardware issue. To resolve this conflict can I please have you click here. Once the support document opens please run through Solution one, Solution five, and Solution six. This includes any sub-steps under the listed Solutions. However, because you note that you have already cleaned the Printhead multiple times do not run a Printhead cleaning again. You do not want to exceed three Printhead cleans if there is no difference in quality because when you clean the Printhead ink is used. If three cleans has not resolved your issue proceeding with additional cleans will just waste ink. Should the black printing issue persist please click here and run Step 7 and Step 8 to manually clean and soak the Printhead mechanism.
    Please respond to this post with the result of your print quality troubleshooting. Good luck!

  • Hp officejet 6500 all in one won't print in black

    I cleaned the printhead to eliminate clogs which had worked in past.  Did not work this time. 
    Purchased and installed a new printhead and ran a report which showed the black ink working. 
    Ink levels in all cartridges, however, were low.  Purchased new 920 XL cartridges and installed.  Ran an alignment and said it failed.
    Ran the cleaning of the printheads and then ran a report and still no black ink.
    Ran status and quality reports and now the black will NOT print (when it was printing the day before with the new printhead). 
    HELP!  Why will the black suddenly not print.  The printhead is new and the hp ink catridges are all new. 

    Hi, Jamison ~
    I had tried many of the things you noted (from the link) and at one point got an acceptable quality report (that included black) after replacing the printhead so it was particularly frustrating to then go back to no black after loading ink cartridges.  I had done the partial reset too (as I had seen that recommendation on a forum) waiting hours for it to sort itself out wasn't acceptable when I needed to print something.
    I have to admit that I finally threw in the towel and just got another printer.  I need to be able to have something reliable and tire of always sorting through how to unclog; clean; reset; order parts; get new cartridges; run through mutiple cleaning printhead cycles.  The lack of black print just seems to happen too often. 
    Thank you, though!  I truly appreciate you taking the time to write a thorough response for me.

    Hi @jfw , and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see you are experiencing print issues.  I would like to try and help.
    It appears you have covered much of the troubleshooting already.
    I would recommend removing the ink cartridges, and performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would also recommend this document on Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Officejet 6500 All-in-One Printer Series.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue, the best recommendation I could make would be to contact HP directly.  You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: Contact HP Worldwide.

  • Is it possible to turn off a channel in DAQ?

    I am using 4*PXI-6070E to acquire 64 channels simultanously. Is it possible to turn off one or several channels during acquisition? Which function or property node should I use? I have tried using property node "disable" in waveform graph but it seems didn't work. That channel is still running and the data is still here. Can anyone help me plz? THX a lot!

    Once a set of channels are configured in a task and being acquired, you cannot reconfigure the task (add/remove channels) without stopping the running task
    What you could do is to: Use array functions ( like index array) to create a subset of channels you require, from the set of channels being acquired

  • Is it possible to turn off a spot colour

    Hello
    Probably a dumb question but I will ask anyway. Is it possible to turn off a spot colour in CS4. I can effectively do it by creating a spot white and merging the spot colour I want to delete to the spot white using the ink aliasing. However, this leaves a spot colour in the high res pdf at th end of the job. This then causes a problem as we use an online proofing system which then fails the flightcheck as there is a spot colour in the pdf.
    Cheers
    Beeefcake

    The spot colour is used so that we can perform a find on any text with a fill of the spot colour and delete it. The spot colour is put in for this purpose when the original artwork is created in the US.
    Kathlene - I can't believe I didn't spot that! This would work! We could just convert the swatch to 0% cmyk as you suggest. The majority of the pages in the catalogue are on a white background so the pricing would simply disappear resulting in no spot place when pdf's are made. There are some pages on a coloured background but these are very few and the pricing could be deleted manually.
    Thanks for the help!

  • Camileo S20 - Is it possible to turn off the screen?

    But you can connect the AC adaptor while recording movies. So you have always power. :)

  • Possible to turn off MBP Sleep Light?

    The sleep light on my MBP is bright. The pulsing can actually wake me up. Is it possible to turn it off?
    The iMac G5 got a "Sleep Indicator Light" update that turns it off at night. I'm not sure if it's configurable or not, but even if it's not, the MBP could use the same update.
    Thanks.
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    The solution is quite easy... actually the same for getting that nasty blinking "12:00" off your VCR
    Place electrical tape over it...
    But seriously - you may want to go to an auto parts store - they sell "chrome tape pinstriping".
    Cut out the pinstriping to the size of the button, and you have your solution.
    Or you can go to your local vinyl shop and find someone to cut one for you (then mass produce it for you) and sell it to other MBP users that want the same thing... wait, no I'm going to do that PATENT PENDING!!!!!

  • Is it possible to turn off the Apple dock completely?

    I was wondering if it was possible to turn off the Apple dock completely without causing irreparable damage to my system. I am considering using Drag Thing, but when I am using it the functionality seems redundant with the Apple dock, also using both programs in tandem uses up more precious memory. The Drag Thing website links to the following tutorial as a solution:
    http://www.creativemac.com/2003/02_feb/tutorials/dockdead2030225.htm
    But it was published a long time ago, and I don't want to do anything rash that would damage my system, I mean I don't dislike the Apple dock enough to do that. Thanks in advance for the consideration and suggestions.

    I could only discover an option to hide the dock from within Drag Thing. I am looking to make the dock disappear completely. Drag Thing does not officially support this option, giving this answer in the Q & A section of their website:
    "*It is possible, but I wouldn't recommend it. Since people often ask how to do it anyway, here's a good tutorial I found on how to kill the Dock by Kevin Schmitt. This may have unforseen side effects however, which is why I've not documented the procedure myself, or added an option for this in DragThing. I keep the Dock hidden off the bottom of the screen on my own Mac.*"
    Is the dock so embedded within the Finder's operations that killing it will affect system performance?

  • Is it possible to turn off the passcode?

    I’ve seen a couple postings that say go to Settings --> General --> Passcode Lock, but on my iPhone 4s I don’t see anywhere to turn it off at that point.  In the manual, there is no description of turning off the passcode – at least I didn’t find it.

    no, once you get to Passcode Lock, there is no option to turn it off - certainly none visible to me.  Have you actually tried to do this?  Do you have an iphone 4s?
    Here is a screen shot of what you get when you press "Passcode Lock".
    You have to ENTER your passcode first, to access the part of the Settings that allows you to disable the passcode lock.
    Enter your passcode.
    Then you can turn the passcode off.

  • Is it possible to turn off the updates that make your iphone need to be activated again?

    Is it possible to turn off the updates that make your iphone need to be activated again? Because you need wifi in order to activate and sometimes I don't have wifi so my iphone becomes unusable untill I get wifi again.

    I'm sorry but it says 8.1.2 on my phone when I check for the info about the software.
    The issue I have is that on random moments it asks me to activate my phone ( I think after an update or some kind ) but sometimes I have no access to wifi to activate it so I was wondering if I could make that stop?
    I'm sorry for the strange explanation, english isn't my mothertongue

  • Is it possible to turn off the fluid grid function in dreamweaver during the process of building your site by mistake? It was working fine and simply stopped and I don't see how to correct what is wrong.

    Is it possible to turn off the fluid grid function in dreamweaver during the process of building your site by mistake? It was working fine and simply stopped and I don't see how to correct what is wrong.

    There is no specific function that turns FGL on or off.
    When you say that it has stopped, do you mean that the handles no longer show?
    If that is the case, then I think you may have modified the CSS to such an extent that Dreamweaver no longer recognises it as belonging to FGL.
    There are a couple of avenues for you
    Redo the site and make sure not to touch the FGL CSS
    paste the code here so that we can see what has gone wrong.

    Re: Iphoto 11 -How to turn off faces?
    Dec 30, 2013 9:06 AM (in response to mkmichaelmk)
    Start of solution:
    I did some digging in the prefs of iPhoto and found out the following. This is how you can disable (turn off) Face detection, without deleting faces found so far (just in case you want to restart processing at another time):
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Open Terminal Application (Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)
    3. Type the following (exactly as is):
    defaults write com.apple.iPhoto PKFaceDetectionEnabled 0
    (then return)
    4. - Start iPhoto - Faces stops getting on your nerves...
    If you ever need to re-enable faces, just do the same again and replace the 0 with 1.
    OT
