My Hp 8500a plus printer keeps saying it is offline and will not print. Was printing now stopped.

I have an HP 8500a plus printer. Lately, when I go to print from Macbook or iPad, it tells me the printer is offline. My printer says it is connected to my wifi but will not print. Printer firmware is up to date. I have changed nothing, and now it will not print. Very frustrated and tired of spending all of this time trying to fix the printer just to print. This is my second HP printer this month and it works sometimes and doesn't work sometimes. 
Am I missing something? I don't understand how it can print one day and not the next. 

Try this if it is an Airprint Printer.
1. Turn the router, iPad and printer off
2. Turn on the router and then wait 30 seconds
3. Turn on printer and then wait 30 seconds
4. Turn on your iPad and test print.

  • I have a Canon MG3520 and it keeps saying it's OFFLINE and it won't let me Print from my MACBOOK Air

    Hello, I have a Canon MG3520 and it keeps saying it's OFFLINE and it won't let me Print from my MACBOOK Air.  I purchased this printer in late Dec 2013 and it HAS worked before & continues to "make noise" when it is turned on.  This is Very Frustrating and Inconvient since I have a Business from my home.  Please Help asap! Thank you,  Tracey

    traceyss--this might work on mac air:  on google cloud print i went to the cloud site http://w.x.y.z(put in your numbers) and then menu-utilities-energy saving settings, where i turned off "auto off" (clicking on it leads you to this choice) and turned on "auto on."  then i turned off printer and restarted in 5 seconds to get the changes into the mg3520's little brain:  so far, so good(on a chromebook). hope this works for you!--ceaisland55

  • Mavericks 10.9.1 keeps erring during the download and will not complete.  What do I do?

    Mavircks 10.9.1 keeps erring during the download and will not complete.  What do I do?

    Get the official version of Firefox here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
    As long as you '''''don't''''' select the option to '''Remove Firefox personal data and customizations''' when you un-install that "Yahoo version", you won't lose anything.

  • I purchased quick time pro, and attempted to download quick time 7, but it says I have quick time x installed.  I deleted quick time x but it still says it is there and will not let me install.

    I purchased quick time pro, and attempted to download quick time 7, but it says I have quick time x installed.  I deleted quick time x but it still says it is there and will not let me install.

    In the optional install items-Quick Time is not an option. I am on Leopard.
    Then you either:
    1) never had QT X installed and could not have deleted it since QT X is only installed on Snow Leopard (OS X v10.6), Lion (OS X v10.7), and Mountain Lion (OS X v10.8) systems or...
    2) you are actually running Snow Leopard (OS X v10.6) and not Leopard (OS X v10.5) as you just stated.
    Please confirm which statment is actually correct.

  • HT5622 When I try to update my apps in the App Store it says sign in required and will not let me update then

    When I try to update my apps it says sign in required and will not let me update them

    I suspect you have apps that need updating that were purchased from more than one account
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • Re: My printer is offline and will not print, How do I fix this?

    I have a deskjet printer model 4260. I recently replaced one of the inkcartridges, prior to that the printer worked.
    Now I can not get the printer on line, no matter what I do. I am able to print a test page with all colors working.
    I am running windows 7.  I believe I have tried everything, like plug and play, to shutting the system down and
    bringing it back on line.
    The router I am using is Linksys it is hard wired

  • My Iphone 4s says connected to TV and will not let me watch any videos on Safari, and only plays sound through the device. I have not messed with the settings, and have not connected it to anything bluetooth either. It's update is IOS 6.1.3

    I have an Iphone 4S and It won't let me watch videos on my safari, which I do everyday. It says that I am connectef to a tv, yet I have not connected it to a tv during the entire time i've owned this product. I have not connected it to anything bluetooth either. It plays the sound through the device, but it will not play the video at all. the update is IOS 6.1.3

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
    - Then try on another computer

  • My ipod 5g says it is 1969 and will not let me connect to the internet

    When I charged my ipod touch 5g and it turned on it said it's 1969 and won't let me connect to the internet. I've restarted my ipod, I've tried resetting all settings including network and I tried connecting it to itunes but it won't connect to itunes due to an unknown error. How do I get my ipod to connect to the wifi and reset to the correct date and time?

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • Can't get into one of my two profiles. Says I'm offline and am not

    I had Firefox 3.latest. I was urged via Firefox to install Version 4.0. I did -- three times and restarted the computer once. I have two profiles. The first one I clicked on (in the dialogue box after clicking the Firefox icon) came up perfectly. When I closed down that profile, I attempted to enter my other one via the dialogue box. A screen came on with, in theory, my home page which is Google, but when I either tried to use Google or tried to access any of my bookmarks, I got nowhere except a dialogue box saying I was offline and should uncheck the "work offline" box. It was never checked so I couldn't uncheck it and I can't get into that profile which is my work profile. How do I reinstall 3.X so I can work and access my e-mail, etc.

    You are running into the Activation lock and you need to enter the Apple ID and password for the account last used on the iPod.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    To recovery use of that account:
    Why do I see the message "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons” when I enter my password?
    This message means that someone was unable to sign in to this account multiple times. The Apple ID system will disable the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You'll need to follow the instructions on My Apple ID to reset your password.
    If not successful, contact iTunes

  • My new iPhone 6 plus just went to a black screen and will not turn back on. If you hit the home button for siri to come on it still works, and if you plug it into the wall it makes the vibrate noise. The screen just won't turn on.

    I was looking up a song on the internet, and my internet was being slow, so i was going to the settings to turn internet/wifi off so i could use data. When i did that the screen just went completely black. I didnt know what happened so i plugged it into a circuit into the wall to see if it needed charging. It made the buzz noise when i plugged it into the charger, and siri still works if you hold the home button down. I don't know what to do to get it to turn back on... If anyone knows what to do please help. thanks !

    Hey there Maggie,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The article linked below provides troubleshooting tips that can help you resolve the blank black screen issue with your iPhone 6 Plus.
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
    Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
    Reset your device while it's plugged in.
    If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    Cheers,

  • Firefox 3.6.3 crashed, will not reload because it says it is running, and will not uninstall?

    Firefox 3.6.3 crashed and would not reload as the system informed that firefox was already running. Rebooting had no effect. 3.6.4 was downloaded and installed. It would not run for the same reason. Windows XP was then upgraded to SP2. No change. 3.6.4 was uninstalled with no problem but 3.6.3 refuses to install. (When 'remove' is clicked, there is disc activity for about a second but then all stops.) No files have been deleted by me. There is no indication that I can see inspecting 'processes' or msconfig to indicate that Firefox is running.

  • Muse crashed and afterwards, error message saying site file damaged and will not open

    I was working on a muse file when it shut down due to "an error". When I tried to open the file again, it told me that the site was damaged and could not be opened. I have a PC and I would like to know if there is any way I can get the file checked out to see if it is recoverable in any way. I have two versions of the file, the original damaged muse file and a gzip file that I got from recovering some of the files.

    Hi,
    This is not a sure sort fix and only if you are comfortable you may try these steps to recover your file :-
    1. First, Create a backup copy of your Muse file and then perform the following steps on the copy.
    2.Change the extension of the file from .muse to .rar.
    4.Open it using the WinRAR application.
    5.Winrar throws a warning stating that you attempted to open damaged archive, you can safely Ignore the warning.
    6.Go to Tools->Repair Archive. This ensures that the archive and hence, the .muse file is repaired.
    7.Change the extension back to .muse.
    This is not a sure sort fix but this sometimes helps in recovering files that have got corrupt due to unexpected crash.
