Mac OS X Won't Print Card Stock on Brand New OfficeJet Pro 8610 e AiO

Hi All - I print cardstock all the time and just purchased a new OfficeJet Pro 8610 eAiO from Best Buy 2 days ago. The salesman told me it was the best option for cardstock printing and the specs say it can handle 110lbs cardstock. It is hooked up and printed a couple standard paper pages nicely. But when I put in the cardstock, it made all the noises like it was printing, but then "Load Paper" shows up on the LCD screen. We have tried unplugging it, but that doesnt do anything. After a little bit of fiddling with the tray (pushing and pulling on all tabs and springs we see), we put the tray back in and then it prints. But we have to do this with every print request. I have read to select "heavy paper or card stock" in the printer properties and to disable tray 2. I dont have a tray 2 on my printer (that I am aware of at least). And I dont see an option for printer properties for me to change anything. Does anyone have directions for this process? Also - I read that the printer may work if it is kept nearly full of paper? Has anyone had success with this? Any help is appreciated.

Hi KRichBC,
Thank you again for answering my questions!
Checking over the printer's specifications, found at this website. HP Officejet Pro 8610, 8620, 8630, 8640, and 8660 e-All-in-One Printer Series Printer Specifications. This is a supported paper size at 8.5 x 11, if the paper type is Index Card Letter.
I also would recommend trying the solutions within this guide. An 'Out of Paper' Message Displays on the Control Panel and the All-in-One Does Not Pick Up Paper. Again please, try a custom size print to see if that will work. Create Custom Paper Sizes in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X.
Hope this information helps you, and hope to hear from you soon!

No print from Windows 7 Desktop and Officejet Pro 8610

I purchased and installed a new Officejet Pro 8610 about a month ago. My desktop computer is an HP Windows 7 unit. The printer is setup wireless. Up until a few days ago, everything has run fine, but now I cannot print anything from my desktop computer. Printing from my MacBook laptop works fine. Printing from my iphone is fine. Scanning to the desktop computer is fine. Webprinting is fine. The printer icon has a nice green checkmark in the devices folder. I have run the HP Print and Scan Doctor, which claims to fix a port issue, but does not resolve the problem. I have use windows to troubleshoot the connection, which claims to make the printer available to my homegroup, but it does not resolve the problem. I tried changing the security settings for the spooler. Did not resolve the problem. I cannot manually stop and star the spooler via dos prompt. Says system 5 error, access denied. This is maddening. I got rid of my old printer (which reliably printed from the desktop) so that I could have wireless printing capability, and now I have wireless capability but cannot print from my desktop. Aaaaggghhhhhh!!!!

Hey , Thanks for getting back to me regarding this issue. At this time I am going to have you load an alternate Officejet driver on your product. Because the network connection is fine, and scanning is still fine I do not believe that the issue that you're experiencing is connectivity or software related. This alternate driver I am going to have you load will operate the exact same way as the Officejet Pro 8610 e-All-in-One Printer driver. Therefore, you will not lose any functionality by performing this fix. Please try the steps below. Step 1: Clear Temp Files: Click on your Start menu
In the 'search programs and files' box located right above Start after you click on it, type %temp% and hit enter on your keyboard
When the Temp folder opens, select Ctrl + A at the same time on your keyboard. Everything in this folder will now highlight.
Select the 'delete' button on your keyboard. The Temp folder contains temporary internet files. No actual files or folders on your computer will be affected by deleting the Temp files. Should a Temp file still be used than you will automatically get the pop up to 'skip' that item.
Close the Temp folder once it is emptied
Right click the Recycling Bin on your desktop and select Empty Recycling BinPlease proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Load Alternate Driver: Please click here to download the Officejet driver Once the download is complete you may get a prompt to Run the download. If you see the Run prompt, please allow it to Run.An extraction should now occur. Once the extraction is complete an installation window may pop open. Please close any install windows. You do not want to run an installation. Next, click on your Start menu. In the 'search programs and files' box type %temp% and hit enter on your keyboardWhen the Temp folder opens locate the 7z folder. Click on this folder to open it. It should include files that say OJ860At the top of this folder you will see a file path bar. It may show something like 'Computer- Local Disk C - Users - AppData - Local - Temp - 7z . . . ' Left click on the right hand side of this file path bar at the top. The file path should now highlight.Right click on the highlighted file path and select CopyClose the Temp folderClick on your Start menuSelect Devices and PrintersRight click on you HP Officejet 8610 Left click on Printer PropertiesLeft click on the Advanced tabLeft click on New DriverWhen the New Driver window opens please hit 'Next' until you see a list of Manufacturers and Printers Click on the 'Have Disk' button on the bottom rightWhen the 'Install from Disk' window opens, simply right click on the file path bar and 'Paste' in the file path we previously copied.Click OKWhen prompted choose the HP Officejet 8600 Printer and click 'Next' until the Add Driver window closesUnder Printer Properties select Apply, but don't hit OKSelect the General tabRename your printer back to HP Officejet Pro 8610 Hit OK Now that the alternate Officejet driver has been loaded, please test printing to confirm if the printing issue has been resolved. Please let me know if the steps I've provided resolve your printing issue. Good luck!

Printing wirelessly with a brand new MacBook Pro and an old G4 Titanium

I have a brand new MacBook Pro set up to print wirelessly and it is working wonderfully.
The problem is my other laptop that is on 10.3.9 is not finding the printer at all. I have all the drivers needed but can not figure out what else I need to do to make this happen. I thought it might be an issue of one computer using Bonjour and one using rendezvous. Is there a way I can have both operating systems talk to the same printer on my AE network?
Please help!
Brian

Make sure you have "authorized your New MAC" to do this if you haven't in iTunes click on "Store" then "Authorize this computer"
If thats good then there are a couple of options, First would be, Connect your iPod, Cancel the Sync when it appears. Click on "File" then "Transfer purchase from iPod"
Option 2 would be create a backup of your iTunes library on your old computer, may take a couple of CD's to do so, all depends on the size of your library. Then simply restore it on the MAC.
Option 3 (My preferred option) if your old computer is on the same network, turn on Home Sharing on both the Old and New iTunes and simply drag the music you want right on over.
Very important though that the new itunes be authorized first for any of those to work.
Hope this helps.

Officejet pro 8600 will not print card stock

I just purchased the Officejet Pro 8600 and cannot print card stock. I read another HP troubleshooting page and tried to run 100 copies of blank paper through to "calibrate" the printer as suggested by HP technical support. There was a suggestion to disconnect the tray 2 paper tray but I also don't a tray 2. Any suggestions? I print card stock regularly.

HP Officejet Pro 8610 Will Not Print

I have a new Officejet Pro 8610 which has been working fine but today it would not print. Everyting else still worked, the printer is detected by USB and all of the cleaning/ alignment procedures work from my PC as normal. Scaning a document worked OK as well. I tried to run a test print from the printer list on windows, this didn't work either. So I uninstalled the supplied software and reinstalled it again, still would not print. At this point I installed the software on my old laptop and connected if by USB again and it worked fine, printed straight away. The only difference in the install was when selecting which additional programmes to install, one said it was already installed even though I had unistalled the software before. That programme was the Product Improvement Study which I can't get rid of. Everytime it is still there. Is this causing my problems and how do I get it off my PC as I am unable to find it anywhere to remove it. Any help would be appreciated.

no one answered this questio for me or even gave me advice....
I got it to print from explorer but not chrome .So for some reason it decided to stop printing from chrome all on its on.Not sure how long it ill print from ie but we'll see .thanks for no advice

Officejet Pro 8610 - Can't connect to wireless network (and has similar issue with previous printer)

When I returned from a trip, I was unable to connect to my trusty HP All-in-one 7510 that I had on my network for three years. I tried troubleshooting it, reinstalling the software on numerous computers, and fixing the printer, but alas the printer said that it was connected to the network, and none of my computers wanted to find it anymore.
Then I bought my new Officejet Pro 8610 this week, set it up...and I am experiencing the same issue. I tried using the link and support took from this post - http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Officejet-Pro-8610-Can-t-connect-to-wi... but the printer was unable to be found on the network.
I would appreciate any help on this issue. Thanks!

Hello @Celestialnova ,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are having problems with your wireless network.
I would like to help.
Since the same issue happened with two different model of printers, lets take a moment to check the network.

Mac can't install USB/Ethernet extension Officejet Pro 8610

For some reason I keep getting this error, "The system extension /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update." during the driver install from my Mac to my new Officejet Pro 8610.
I installed the drivers for my new Officejet Pro 8620 on a different computer and had no issues. Any ideas?

Hi,
Please try repairing the disk permissions as following:
1. Open the the Applications folder.
2. Go to the Utilities folder.
3. Double-click on Disk Utility.
4. Select the hard drive containing the boot volume.
5. Go to the First Aid tab and select Repair Disk Permissions.
Note: This process may take several minutes depending on the Mac and amount of permissions that need to be repaired. The Progress Log will indicate when the process has been completed.
Next, go to Computer (click on Finder, then select Go > Computer)
Select your active boot volume (will more likely be listed as Macintosh-HD)and then navigate to System > Library > Extensions. locate the AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext file, copy it to your desktop (for bakcup porpuses) and then delete it from the extensions folder.
Next reinstall the latest software below and check for any change, if the issue been resolved you may delete the backup file from the desktop.
Please let me know if that helps,

How do I set up my HP 7520 to print card stock off Avery 8859 design???

Trying to print business cards after designing on Avery 8859 card stock design. HP 7520 All in one will only print a test page of thumbnails of the business cards even though it shows the correct size, etc. for the 8859 paper.
How do I set the printer for card stock, etc. as Avery describes, and what is going wrong?? I have wasted many hours, and lots of paper, and still NO BUSINESS CARDS!!!

Hi @klmrazek,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that you are wondering how to set up your HP 7520 to print card stock off Avery 8859 design? I am sorry for the frustration, but happy to look into this for you!
From what I can find, the card size you are using is 2" x 3 1/2". This is an unsupported paper size with this particular printer. According to your printer specifications, here are the supported card stock sizes:
Card type
Card size
3 x 5 in Index
76.2 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in)
4 x 6 in Index
101.6 x 152 mm (4 x 6 in)
5 x 8 in Index
127 x 203.2 mm (5 x 8 in)
However, you might be able to get around this by assigning an alternate driver, by going through this post, How to Assign Alternate Print Drivers in Different Versions of Windows, by @Shane_R. Then try a custom size print by going through this guide, Create Custom Paper Sizes in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X.
Otherwise, I would suggest a different size of paper, within your supported sizes using the chart provided. Or you can also try contacting Avery Support, in case they may have additional software or drivers that you can try.
Hope this information is helpful, and have a good day!

How do I get my Officejet Pro 8500A to print card stock?

How do I print card stock?

Hi Jeff1212,
Review the following link which has the specifications regarding paper handling. If you have a card stock which is supported try cleaning the paper pickup rollers.

HP Officejet Pro 8610 Add Printer issue on Mac

I purchased the HP Officejet Pro 8610 and cannot get it successfully set up on my MacBook Pro (operating OS X 10.7.5). During the "Add Printer" phase, I receive the following error message: "The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software".
I've downloaded and completed the steps up to this point by using the link from install CD (HP-Officejet-Pro-8610_v12.32.0.dmg) and by downloading after unsuccessfully troubleshooting from the HP webite (HP-Officejet-Pro_8610_12.32.0-2.dmg).
Can you please assist in determing what my next step should be?

Hi,
First reboot your Mac, then click the Apple icon and select Software Update.
From the listed app store click the Store menu and then on Repload Page.
Be sure to install any listed HP or Apple update.
Once you are done, open Print & Scan and try adding the printer again.
May you see any difference?

Actually you need to quit Safari which is different from closing. With Safari open go the menu bar for Safari/Quit Safari.

How do I print panoramic photos on an HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus printer?

How do I print panoramic photos on an HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus printer?

Thank you for this link! Actually I installed a brand new Windows 8 system in January 2014 and then bought the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer a few days later. To install this printer I did not use the CD that came with it but already used this link. Just to be sure that I have the latest version I again reinstalled the driver. The result is definitive: You cannot print common photo paper sizes like 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, etc. via a PC using photo SW like HP Photo Creations, MS Gallery, Windows Photo Viewer or any other SW on a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. The reason is most likely that HP marketing decided that an Officejet should not be smart enough for photos, after all the company sells also Photosmarts. Because you cannot create your own formats you are limited by the driver to what is typically available in an office, in this case: A4, Letter, legal, Statement, Executive, A4, A5, A6, B54 (JIS), Envelopes #10-DL-C5-C6-A2-Monarch, Japanese Postcard, Japanese Envelope Chou #3-#4, L, 2L, O**bleep**u hagaki, Index Card Letter-A4, Edge-to-Edge Letter-A4, Env. Japanese No 3-No 4 and that's it, not more. Thank you anyway for trying to help me but in this case only the SW developers in HP can help.It would be great to be able to print from time to time a 4x6 photo on this printer like I would do.Copying photos on a USB stick or on a SD card first and then use this way to print on the printer is too cumbersome for me.

How to upload photos from memory card to computer on new Officejet 8500A Plus?

I recently replaced an older HP psc 2410 photosmart printer with a new Officejet Pro 8500A Plus printer. The installation went fine without error messages, and it prints, scans and copies just fine. When I insert a memory card into the slot, the printer itself recognizes the files and displays them on the LCD screen and offers to print them. BUT ... what I want to do is upload the files to my PC (running Windows XP), and I can't figure out how to do it! There is no HP program that pops up and offers to transfer the photos like with my old printer. I was also expecting to see the card slots shown as a removeable drive like I did with my old printer, but I don't see them. Also, my Photoshop Elements program doesn't recognize the card slots either.
Then it dawned on me that my computer doesn't "see" the card slots because it's not connected directly to the printer! I set this up as a wireless printer and I am totally new to this, so pardon if this is a dumb question... but is there no way to transfer files from the card slot to the PC in a wireless setup?? I'm totally confused...
This question was solved.

Hi,
If your printer is connected thru network or wireless network, you have to access it thru the IP address.
Find out the IP address of the printer. You can do this by clicking on the network icon on the front panel of your printer.
Open Windows explorer and type \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip address of the printer.
You'll see the memory card slot there.
You can do a "map network drive" to it if you want your printer card slot to be listed there permanently.
