My officejet 6700 makes a noise even when it is unplugged?

I think my Officejet 6700 is haunted, It is continually making a noiseas if it is    trying to print. I have even disconnected the power source and all other cables and it still makes this noise. What can I do to stop the noise as it has become very distracting?  Any suggestions would be helpful.

Hi wildwillie,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums.  I understand that your Officejet 6700 printer is making unusual noises.
To better assist you, would you please provide some additional information:
Are you still experiencing this issue? 
Would you please confirm that all cables (power, ethernet/USB cable, fax line, etc) are unplugged from the printer?
How was the printer connected (USB cable, ethernet, or wireless)?
What operating system were you using on the computer that was connected to the printer? whatsmyos.com
Thank you.
Regards,
Happytohelp01

  • My iPhone no longer makes any noise even when it's on loud. Ringtones and message tones don't go off, it just vibrates.

    It will still play my music out of The speaker. But when I get a message or someone calls me it only vibrates doesn't make any noise. And if I try and watch anything on YouTube I need to put my headphones into hear it.

    Check the Mute/Silent Switch on the Side...
    Have a look in Settings > Sound...
    Check Notifications....

  • Does MacBook Pro make whirring noise even when shutdown?

    Was wondering if this was normal. I have a new MacBook Pro that I hardly use so I shut it down and store it under my desk. I recently noticed it makes the whirring noise from startup, about once a day. My laptop is not in sleep mode but completely shutdown. Checked the laptop and everything works fine, just curious about the random whirring noise.

    If it is off, there should be no sound at all. Check the log files to see if anything pops out.

  • Mac Pro Power Supply making noise (even when turned off)

    Hi everyone,
    My Mac Pro Early 2008 (Dual quad core 2,8) began to make noise a while ago and it drives me mad.
    The sound is (100% sure) coming from the Power Supply. The sound is not mechanical, but electrical, like an oscillator crackle sort of.
    First I thought it was the PSU itself, so I had it replaced with a new one, but that did not change the situation.
    The (new) PSU makes excactly the same noise, even when my computer is turned off (but still connected to the power socket in the wall).
    I've eliminated all possible factors that could create an interference (other electrical devices).  I even completely switched off the power of my office, except for one power socket; the one I used to test the Mac.  As soon as I connected the Mac, as soon the noise came back. So, it's got to be inside the Mac.
    So my question is: if it's not the PSU, nor the power of my office, what could it be?
    PS: I've tried a UPS too... but that did not change a bit.
    Thanks for your suggestions!

  • September 2011 MacBookAir4,2 1.7 GHz White noise even when sound turned off

    Since new this MacAir has had a white noise like a tv not tuned in even when sound is off. Gets worse as it gets warmer. Seems to be getting worse then ever.(summer). Usually connected to a Thunderbolt Display and makes noise only when display is attached. Disconnect the display and the noise goes quite after a few minutes till display is again attached.
    Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)
    I think it is the Cooling Fans making the noise and the Thunderbolt connector gets hot after a few minutes.

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Try checking the hard disk for errors just in case.
    Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
    Insert your Mac OS X Install disc in your computer’s optical drive or an optical drive connected to your computer, and then restart your computer. When you hear the startup tone, hold down the C key until you see the progress indicator, which looks like a spinning gear.
    Follow the onscreen instructions until the menu bar appears with the Utilities menu in it, choose Utilities > Disk Utility, click First Aid, and then click Verify. Of Disk Utility reports errors, click Repair. When it's finished, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Disk. In the Startup Disk window select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.
    Also, while you have Disk Utility open, Repair Disk Permissions, reboot and see if the sound anomaly still exists.

  • My iMac 2010 27" makes low noises EXCEPT when scrolling with my magic mouse.

    It's like a low static electric noise but it stops when I scroll webpages and such with my magic mouse.

    It's coming from inside the iMac and turning down/mute-ing doesn't change it and neither does it stop when I plug in headphones. It doesn't stop when I turn off the built in monitor.
    The batteries are ok and no phone around. The sound is not like an interference sound. It's more like the sound the harddrive makes except not as loud and higher pitch (i guess).
    The sound has been for a while. More than a month but not since I bought it.
    Thanks for your reply!

  • Make big noise (alarm) when powering off

    the first thing a thief would do after stealing your phone is to power it off.
    Although there is a cute app that offers a little more protection (called theftalarm), this only works when plugged.
    Does anyone knows an app that would hook into Springboard/Mobilesubstrate and make an as loud as possible noise when you hold the power button and require security code before allowing a powerdown?

    There won't be any apps for a non-jailbroken iPhone to do this, as none would have access to the private API's necessary to do so.

  • U410turns itself off completely with a noise even when its cold.it has been to the guarantee 3x

    Hi. I have purchased a lenovo ideaPad U410 last christmas in a PC world shop (UK), it was a gift to my father, and when we were setting up windows. it turned itself off. We had no time to give it  back to the shop because we were trying to enjoy our holidays abroad.  we have tried many times to check what the problem was, spending money with expensive technicians,  but nobody got it right. We have sent it to lenovo guarantee services in Spain (where I live) once. They said they had fixed it, but it came back with the same problem. Then I ´ve sent it again.... and guess what? It came back with the same problem.  (i have both papers to prove, i can send you a copy) We could NEVER use this lap top during the whole year.Everytime we tried, it turned itself off . Now I have finally sent it to the UK to see if they can fix it there, paid 50 euros for the package, but to be honest, I am completely fed up.My guarantee ends in the end of the year (christmas). I really hope you can give me a new lap top that works, or my 500 pounds back, so I can buy a new one to my father. This has been a nightmare, waste of time. the company MEDION AG has it now, and the product reference number is IDEAPADU410AMBLTXI33217U4G5248MGB . Please someone follow up with this case. Cheers. 

    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • LR makes auto adjustments even when prefs are set not to

    Using LR 5.5 on a Mac with Mavericks.
    I import photos in LR then when I begin to look through them, one by one, in Library Module Loupe view, I can see the photo the way I took it (low contrast and saturation) for a second while it's "loading" then LR seems to make an adjustment. I looks like it adds a lot of contrast. I believe I have all of the auto adjustments turned off in preferences.
    I took a video of it below. The change happens quickly.
    http://nickdantonio.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_0173.mov
    What is happening here and how to do fix it?
    Thanks.

    After viewing the movie, what I saw is what I would expect to see with LR set to the defaults.
    After the image is imported, the initial view will use the JPG preview contained in the raw file, this JPG preview will have all your camera settings baked into it.. After the raw file is processed, all your camera settings are ignored and the default LR profile is applied to it. The default LR profile is the "Adobe Standard" profile, which does up the contrast and saturation.
    To prevent similar discrepancies, I created a user preset that applies the "camera neutral" profile and assigned that preset as the "apply during import".

  • Audible fan noise even when idle.

    I have a 2.2Ghz Macbook 10.5.1 4GB Ram.
    WHENEVER I use the laptop I can hear the fan. It is not loud just a constant low drone in the background. Enough to be distracting.
    It is running at 1800rpm. CPU temp ~38oC, processor usage pretty much zero for ten minutes.
    I only ever heard the fan on my old iBook when running intensive activities.
    Is this normal?

    1800 rpm is the lowest fan speed, it is normal, however, there shouldn't be much of a sound except for a lil' wind blowing sound in the exhaust.

  • Headphones make static noise only when plugged in but internal speakers work fine?

    Not the headphones that are the issue, tried a couple different pairs and tried them in my iPhone. What do you suggest doing?

    Since you know it isn't the headphones but the computer the computer needs to be looked at by an Apple authorized repair center or a Mac Genius.

  • Hard case makes clicking Noises

    Hello
    Can anyone possibly help me out with this so I don't have to mail my MBP out or drive 2 hours to the nearest apple store?
    My hard case at the top left corner, by the power source, makes a clicking noise when I shift it on my lap. It's not the hard drive, since it makes this noise even when the computer is off. It sounds like something is catching inside and getting loose, causing the "clicking" noise. Has anyone else had any problems with this?
    Thanks

    I have a similar issue with my MBP (mid 2010), but the location is at the right palm rest area. Mine has been diagnosed as a defective bottom case and possibly top case too, waiting for the new parts to arrive. In my case, in order for them to actually replace the part, I had to take it to the store 3 times to prove their minor adjustment fix doesn't fix it.
    Hope it helps.

  • OfficeJet 6700 - "Unable to communicate with printer" message after install

    I am on a hybrid network with Windows 7, 64-bit. Printer is hard-wired to the router (ethernet) but laptops are wireless. Installation doesn't allow for a hybrid option, just wireless or wired, so I installed as wired.
    I just installed the OfficeJet 6700 - installed OK.  I also updated software/firmware during the install process.
    Windows' "Devices & Printers" recognizes the HP as being installed.
    Printer is able to produce the network configuration page, etc. so we know the printer is functional, but when I try to print I get an "Unable to communicate with printer" message.
    Windows' "Devices and Printers" troubleshooter thinks the driver is not installed, but as I mentioned, I just installed software from the CD.
    UPDATE: I was able to install & print without problems on my wife's Win7, 64-bit laptop. Something about mine seems to be the issue. Also, HP Print & Scan Doctor reports that everything checks out OK, but when I try to print a test page at the end of the good doctor's diagnosis, I am still "unable to communicate with printer."

    Sorry this is so long, but I tried to be through in my testing.
    Followed your suggested steps.
    I had previously set a static IP address, but just to be thorough, re-set it again with the same address.
    I unplugged the USB cord from the laptop.
    I began with the device labeled "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)," which was set as the default printer.
    After entering the IP address & clicking Next, it searched the network and returned this message:
    Additional port information required
    The device could not be identified.
    The device is not found on the network. Be sure that:
    1. The device is turned on.
    The network is connected.
    The device is properly configured.
    The address on the previous page is correct. (re: the page where the IP address is entered)
    If you are sure the address is correct, select the device type below.
    I selected Standard (Generic Network Card) and clicked Next.
    Summary dialog appeared and I clicked Finish.
    Clicked OK/Apply.
    Attempted to print. Like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing.
    Right-clicked on the "Copy 1" device and selected Troubleshoot. Returned the message: Make printer "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700 the default printer" - even though this copy is already the default printer. (Usually when the original copy is set as the default, this copy is automatically re-named "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700.") I chose "Apply this fix."
    Summary page said "Troubleshooting has completed." I closed the troubleshooter and attempted to print. I closed the Devices & Printers window so it could refresh. Re-opened Devices & Printers. Now the default printer is named "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700." The other device is grayed out and is simply named "HP OfficeJet 6700."
    Attempted to print. (I'm testing w/ Notepad and .txt files)
    I have 3 choices in the Notepad's printer dialog box but only 2 devices showing in the Devices & Printers window:
    ~ "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700" - This is the default printer in the Devices and Printers window. I clicked on Print & rec'd an error message: "Send Fax - HP Officejet 6700. There is a problem communicating with the Printer. Check your USB connection & verify that the printer is ready." Notepad's print dialog box shows status as Offline. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    ~ "HP OfficeJet 6700." When I choose this printer option, Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Paused - Offline." I clicked on "Print" anyway, and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This is the printer that shows as grayed out in the Devices & Printers window. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    ~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)." There is no printer by this name in the Devices and Printers window even tho' it shows in Notepad's print dialog box. Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Ready." In Devices & Printers, when I right-click on the one labeled "Fax OfficeJet 6700" (the default device) and choose "See what's printing," 2 HP devices are listed - the one labeled "Copy 1" and the one labeled "Fax." I clicked on "Print" and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    I plugged in the USB cord again and re-ran the same series of tests.
    ~ "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700" - This is still the default printer in the Devices and Printers window. Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Ready." The fax window opened, waiting me to enter the recipient's name, add a cover sheet, etc. I closed the fax window. The .txt file was in the print queue for the "Fax" device, so I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    ~ "HP OfficeJet 6700." When I choose this printer option, Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Paused - Offline." I clicked on "Print" anyway, and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This is grayed out in the Devices & Printers window. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    ~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)." Again, there is no printer by this name in the Devices and Printers window even tho' it shows in Notepad's print dialog box. This is one of 2 choices in the device labeled "Fax" - the default device. Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Ready." I clicked on "Print" and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    Next, I used the printer's touch screen interface and turned the wireless connection off, leaving the USB cord plugged in.
    ~ "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700" - Status: Ready. The fax window opened, same as before. I closed the fax window & canceled all documents in the print queue.
    ~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 - Status: Paused - Offline. I clicked on "Print" anyway, and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This one shows as grayed out in the Devices & Printers window. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    ~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)" - Status: Error. I clicked Apply, then Print. Again, this is one of 2 choices in the device labeled "Fax" - the default device. Like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    Reconnected to the wireless network & verified that the IP address had not changed.
    Tried again to print using "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)" - Status: Ready. I clicked Print and again, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This is still listed as one of 2 choices in the device labeled "Fax" - the default device." Like before, I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    Next, I right-clicked on the one labeled "Fax OfficeJet 6700" (the default device) and choose "See what's printing" and selected the device labeled "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)." In the print queue window, when I click on "Printer, one of my options is "Set as Default Printer." As soon as I did that, the device in the Devices & Printers window was renamed as "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)" - no longer named "Fax." I tried to print again. Once again, file was sent to the print queue but never printed.

  • Scanner not working hp officejet 6700

    I have an Officejet 6700 Premium Printer..   When I hit scan to computer, it says no computer found.   I connected the printer to the computer with a USB cable and hit scan but window says waiting for scanner..   Printer works wirelessly w/ computer but is sporadic and sometimes have to restart printer to get it to connect wirelessly to computer..   tried to download software from hp but cant open the dmg file in my download file.   Error message says Officejet series 6700 image not recognized.

    Hello ramblindan,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with scanning to the computer.
    I also see that you had the printer connected on a wireless network and then attempted to scan over USB.  When the connection is changed from wireless to USB without adjusting the software, this can cause communication issues.
    I have a few steps that we can run through to troubleshoot the issue.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    I also suggest that we remove the usb cable from the printer and the computer and leave it off.
    Please click on the following link that troubleshoots when the Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
    If this does not resolve the issue, please respond with which Operating System you are running.
