Network: limit printing access ( hp officejet pro 8000 )

Hello!
I have a HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809 connected to a LAN with approx. 100 PC's. It's not possible to attach it to my PC, because I want to share it and my PC is not running all the time.
Is there a possibility to restrict the access to the printer (MAC-filter, password) so that not everyone may print on my device? I have no access to the DHCP-Server or any other LAN facilities.
I already disabled WS Discover and WSD Print in the networking settings, but i would like to get some more security...
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Edit: Some additional information about the current situation
- Printer is accessed from 2 Win7-Notebooks and my Ubuntu 11.10 desktop
- Printer is plugged to the LAN, has a fixed IP adress and is working correctly

About printing from hp officejet pro 8000

Hi,
My question is on technical side. I don't know I should ask it in this forum or not, Yet I am going to ask.
I am using officejet pro 8000 printer in my project. I connect it to my machine and send the test report data to printer. Report is printed successfully, but after printing the report the power LED is blinking continuously. It means that printer is still waiting for some data to print. So please tell me that which character should be sent to printer to specify "END OF DATA TRANSMISSION".

I wanted to share what I found in case someone else has the same questions.
Microsoft 2008
Go to Print dialog box
Choose the "Layout" Submenu (I think this menu defaults to "Copies and Pages")
There is a "two-sided" option, and you can choose "off", "long-edge binding", or "short edge binding"
Once I did this and saved the settings, it also worked for Excel and Adobe.
The only issue with Adobe is that you have to follow these steps every time you print. If I just hit print without following the below steps, it will not print duplex. The steps are at the following link.
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/print-double-sided-acrobat-reader.html#main_Ma c_OS_print_double_sided
I expected the same dialog box that appears on the web brower to also appear with my other applications, and that is not the case.

Printing to hp officejet pro 8000 wireless

After my 10-year-old DeskJet was incinerated by lightning, I purchased an HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 Wireless. Now I cannot print CD inserts; the driver says the printer is offline. However, I can then successfully print a Word document, for example, without making any changes.

Hi there,
On the IOS system, if you have e-print installed you have two options for printing wirelessly - through e-Print or AirPrint.
To print from AirPrint (which comes pre-installed on apple devices) , you take the route that you have outlined - if no wireless printer is found then there has been a problem during setup that you should be able to fix with the help of the AirPrint troubleshhoting steps below:
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-topics/mobile-printing/mobile-print-help-iphone-ipad.html
If the e-Print app is installed you also have the option to print using the e-Print app. The route to printing here involves opening the appa nd selecting the content that you want to print. You'll still need to be able to find your wireless printer so if you have any issues, the troubleshooting guide below shoudl help:

Booklet printing with HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809n

Can any one help with booklet printing? I have looked at other posts and none seem to quite cover my problem.
I want to print from Microsoft Office Publisher 2003, and have a PC running Windows XP.
The booklet needs printing on A4 (297 x 210mm) paper landscape format with 2 pages (A5) per side.
What prints out is portrait with 4 pages per sheet (A6 size) with the printing on the reverse side inverted.
I've tried all combinations of landscape and portrait etc. and nothing works. As I will need to do these booklets quite often in future I would like to sort it asap.
Thanks for any help.

How do I control who can print over my wireless Officejet Pro 8000 A809n?

Hi all,
Looking for some help as to how I can control who can/cannot print over my Officejet Pro 8000 A809n (CB047A) printer.
We have multiple users in the house, but I only want to allow certain people to print wirelessly, is there some way I can set this up?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Sorry, you cannot control this other than to remove the printer from the network, turn it off or otherwise disable it.

Officejet pro 8000 and HP Home & Biz print app

I have an Officejet Pro 8000 wireless that, according to HP's list, is compatible with the HP Home & Biz print app for the iPad 2. However, the app does not find any printers on the wifi network. I am running Win 7 and the printer is shared and works fine with printing wirelessly from the computer. I followed the steps in the app to auto find any printer connected to the wifi, but it does not find anything at all. The way I understand the app, it allows non-eprint capable printers to print using the app. Am I missing something?

Hi,
As you have mentioned the printer is shared from Windows 7, is the printer connected to the PC by USB?
In order to use the HP ePrint Home & Biz, the printer must be connected to your router by ethernet cable and then the up should detect it.
Please make sure both the iPad and the printer connected to your network.
Follow the steps below to access the printer EWS page:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01554589&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=3762364&tmp...
Once locating the printer IP address, type it into Safari.
Can you access the page?

HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809a - network connection does not work

Hi,
I just purchased the Officejet Pro 8000 (without wireless). Printer works great when connected and installed via USB, but network connection is just ... awkward. Meaning it doesn't want to work
Question: when I connect the printer via ethernet, the printer should automatically obtain an IP-adress from my router's DHCP-server, right?
Well that doesn't happen here. I printed the network configuration page several times, each time it states that the printer has the IP 169.254.90.4 with 255.255.0.0 as subnet. My local network is 192.168.2.0 with 255.255.255.0 as subnet. So the connection to the printer cannot work. Why doesn't the printer automatically obtain the network config of my network and how can I change this behavior?
Any help would be very appreciated.

Sometimes DSL providers have more control over the router than the printer likes.
- Unplug the telephone line and printer's Ethernet from the router.
- Turn the power off on the router, wait 30 seconds, then turn the power back on.
- Connect Ethernet between the printer and router.
- Now find the IP address of the printer (it should be on the self-test printout), type it into a browser.
- In screen you will find a Networking Tab, then on the left Wireless, then the IPv4 Tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you know what that is, set an IP outside that range but no higher than 255 (the last number in the address).
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Use the router's IP address for the gateway and the first DNS (leave the second blank).
- Finally, plug in the phone line and test.

Officejet Pro 8000 slow to select for color prints

I just installed Officejet Pro 8000 and immediately noticed how slowly the printer is selected in printer options box when I am doing color printing. It takes about 30 sec-1 minute to finalize the selection of this as my printer for the job. I have a networked color laser jet and a networked b&w laser jet also installed that are immediately selected when I choose them from the list.
I have been testing this in Word 2007 and have noticed that when I select the officejet, the bar at the bottom of the word screen says "connecting to printer" - this seems to be the source of the slowness. I have the latest driver installed and I do not have this problem when printing regular b&w docs on this printer.
Is there a problem here or is this normal <SLOW> color print operation?
Thanks!

Thanks for the advice to contact HP tech support!
I have tried in multiple ways since November 2009 to contact HP, when I got the first (of 4) printers. The first 3 printers was subsequently replaced.
Finally in late June 2010 I got the message that there was coming an firmware update for Windows, but not for Mac's. The firmware should improve among other things the paper pick up (load paper issue) and the print-heads life.
I have applied the Windows firmware on the printer from a pc, but still seems to have load-paper issues, even using HP Bright White paper, when printing from Mac's. I have not tested the printing from a pc, but assumes that a firmware upgrade the printer, and are not specific to a certain OS.

No wireless connection to Officejet Pro 8000 printer

This used to work, though occasionally the connection went down. Now nothing at all. I have Windows 7, trying to connect to an HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless printer. Neither has been updated recently as far as I know, and there has been no reason for network or firewall changes that I am aware of.
The printer will produce its three page report, and everything passes ("No problems found", connected to correct network, etc.). I can connect to the printer via USB and print out fine. I have tried rerunning the connection software; it finds the printer (presumably via the USB connection), but then says:
"Your computer is unable to communicate with your printer at 192.168.1.73. This may be caused by firewall software. If you are using firewall software, verify that UDP port 427 is unblocked for both inbound and outbound traffic.
Your PC can not communicate with your printer at address 192.168.1.73. Check all cable connections. Check that the printer, PC and router are powered on and connected to the network."
My Windows firewall is set to "display a notification" when it blocks something, and that has not happened when the software is trying to connect, so it does not seem to be the firewall (and the software should set that up itself anyway). There are no cable connections - I am connecting wirelessly. Everything is turned on. The PC (192.168.1.67) can connect to the router (192.168.1.254) fine. I have tried pinging the printer from a laptop also on the network, and that fails too.
I have restarted both the printer and the PC.
The wireless network has WPA-PSK authentication, but the password has not been changed.
I have tried running the HP Print and Scan Doctor. It tell me my computer is connected (thanks, I already knew that) and that to connect the printer I need to run the "wireless setup" software (thanks, I already knew that). So that was a waste of time...
When do I go from here?

From what you describe it is possible that the router has a network firewall which is blocking the communication with the printer. I am going to include a image which contains the ports which have to be open on that firewall, you may have to contact the router provider to achieve this.
Another thing to note is that sometimes you get better network success through installing the printer with the USB cord and then performing the USB to Wireless setup witch directly borrows the authentication of your computer.
Let me know how that goes and I will get right back with you!

HP Officejet Pro 8000 Printing Blank Pages Instead Of Data And Also Reorienting Itself

Hi all
We have a wireless HP Officejet Pro 8000 in our office (but via cable, not wireless) to a network. The printer is occasionally printing blank pages instead of say a spreadsheet selected to print.
The other issue is that if you say are printing two copies of the same spreadsheet, one prints okay (say landscape) and the second copy, selected at the time of printing, prints it portrait but only part of the left hand side of it and the rest is blank. Coming out of and going back inthe file usually recitifes this. But it does it again any time it feels like it.
We did have an upgrade, where our IT guy took away our desktop boxes and replaced with smaller base units and everything is run from a main server and alsoan upgrade from Windows 2000 to Network. Problems started after this and the IT guy did update the printer driver.
Please would anyone be able to assist? Any help for this frustrating problem gratefully accepted!
Thanks,
Saxplayer67

So the issue with the 8000 printer is periodic print jobs do not come out as you are wanting them. Is that right? This is interesting, just from the point of view that generally speaking issues like this are like a light switch, they are either there or they are not - they usually don't come and go. That being said, we are going to see what we can do to resolve this. First I am going to recommend that we perform a clean installation of the printer after uninstalling it from the machine. By the way, what is the operating system you are working with - Is it Windows 2000 Network?
First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it. Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer.
In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.
Then follow this link to download the full feature software and drivers for the printer:

Install that and let me know the result!

HP Officejet Pro 8000 - Press Print - wait 2 minutes and 30 seconds before printing

I have a new Officejet Pro 8000 non-networked printer. When I hit the print button, it does a very long initialization process that takes exactly 2 minutes and 30 seconds before I can print anything. I find this delay very annoying. I thought the printer must be defective so I went to Office Depot and played with one of theirs and it does the same thing. I've seen laser printers that took awhile to print, but I've never seen an inkjet printer take this long. I can't believe HP engineers thought this would be acceptable. I can't help but wonder just what the printer is doing for 2:30 minutes every time the printer is turned on and why this is necessary.
I have a friend with the printer just below it in price and function (Officejet Pro 6000) and his printer is ready to print as soon as the Print button is pushed.
Are there any other Officejet Pro 8000 owners out there that find this startup delay objectionable or am I being unreasonable?

The start-up time is my main complaint about this printer, but there is one other thing that I find very annoying. My old HP printer had an envelope slot. If I wanted to print an envelope or a check I could just insert it into this slot and quickly print it. Not this one. If I want to print an envelope, I have to remove the cover over the paper, remove all the paper, slide the side bars in and then print the envelope (or check) and then go through the whole process in reverse. It's so inconvienent that I just hand write my envelopes and checks now. Is this progress? HP needs to hire some new engineers or fire some old ones.

OfficeJet Pro 8000 no borderless printing on card stock via Windows driver

I just setup the OfficeJet Pro 8000 wireless printer the other day with the intent to print borderless cards on card stock. I can print anything to it without issue however if I attempt to use borderless mode the Windows driver does NOT allow any paper type other than photo or glossy borchure types.
If I print anyway on card stock it looks ink soaked and muddy. If I print on their recommeded types it looks fine but a card needs heavy card stock, not med or light paper weights.
If I do not select borderless, the print (on card stock) has a dredded border but the print quality is fine.
The driver will not allow even a "normal" or "draft" borderless on standard paper types. Is there a hack or modification to allow me to print borderless on any paper?

HP Officejet Pro 8000 Printer series - A809 Slow Response to Word Print

Hello,
When I try to print from a Word Document the HP Officejet Pro 8000 Printer series - A809 Printer takes on average 1:24 to respond and print. When I go into the printer's settings and print a test page the Printer takes about 3 seconds to respond and print the document. The Printer has a Dual Side Printing add on and the optional paper tray.
Do you know what could cause such a long delay for the printer, especially when it only happens with word and other Microsoft Works Programs?
-Captain Kemp

I would also like to add that I am on a Mac OS X Version 10.6.4 with plenty of processing speed and Memory in case that would be useful in helping me
