Office Jet Pro 8000 Wireless suddenly won't print cyan.

  The printer in question, as stated in the title, is an Officejet Pro 800 Wireless. It still has the original print heads, which it reports to be in “good” condition. All of the original ink cartridges have been replaced once, the last being the cyan cartridge which was replaced with a brand new 940 XL a few weeks ago. The printer has been working flawlessly until just tonight, when it suddenly stopped printing cyan. The other three inks all seem to print just fine, but not cyan.
  So far, I have tried removing and reinstalling the cyan cartridge, and the cyan/magenta printhead. No change. If I try to print a page of solid cyan, I get nothing but a plain white page.
  Any ideas? Is it plausible for there to be a defect in the cyan ink cartridge which would cause it to work just fine for a few weeks, and then suddenly stop? The cartridge has an expiration date of 2014-01-01.
  How about the printhead? The printer reports that it is in “good” condition, and that its warranty expires on 2011-11-19. The warranty on the printer itself has already expired. (Correction—on generating the page again in order to produce the image that I will attach to this message, that status now reads “Monitor” instead of “Good”.)

It seems like there might be a problem with the Cyan\Magenta printhead. I suggest you have a look at teh document below and follow the steps mentioned in it. In your case, you could start from Solution 4, which is to print a Print Quality Diagnostic report and follow the appropriate steps mentioned thereafter.

I think you may need to replace the CM Printhead if the steps don't help.

Can I use AirPrint on my ipad2 with an office jet pro 8000 wireless?

I am currently using hp Eprint home and biz but can't print from pages
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi Unkljoey,
Are you referring to web pages inside the HP Home & Biz app, or are you referring to the actual app Pages?
Currently the Office Jet Pro 8000 Wireless does not support AirPrint or ePrint. The only way to print from the internet or selected saved files is to use the HP Home & Biz app. Here is a list of ePrint and AirPrint compatible printers.
In order to print web pages with the app it is required that you register the app itself with your eprincenter.com account. You can do this by selecting ePrint in the top right corner on the app, and then choose register with ePrint.

I am unable to scan using the hp office jet pro 8500 wireless all in one printer from an I-MAC

I have a new I-MAC OS Lion computer and an older HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless all-in-one printer, scanner, fax, photo. I cannot scan, though I can print and I can fax. The error message says I must be connected to the network, and yet I am connected. The only diagnostic tool available is for MS systems only. Help???

Hi,
Make sure to use any scan method available for Lion.
If you have the HP Scan application installed, be aware that the used software version is not intended for Lion.
Please follow the steps below to find what scan methods may be used on the OS:

If there is still any problem while trying to scan, also make sure to install the latest HP Printer Driver 2.9 by clicking the Apple icon and then Software Update.

HP Office Jet Pro 8500 Wireless carriage jam message.

I have an HP Office Jet Pro 8500 Wireless. It is on a home wireless network and I am using a new HP laptop with Windows 7 (64-bit). I am getting a carriage jam message that I cannot get removed. Leading up to this, my son did have a paper jam and probably didn't get all the paper removed the first time around. But I have checked thoroughly with a flashlight and there is now no paper anywhere in the carriage. I have followed the video online and still have the same message and I can tell that the carriage is not moving side to side. It stays over on the right side. When the video talks about manually moving the carriage, I can move it very easily manually after I wiggle it a little and move it to the right a little. Then it will move back and forth easily by hand. I have tried to see if something is blocking it, but can see nothing. But then when I try to print a test page, no luck. I have reset it according to the video with no results. I cannot print a test page from the touchscreen or from my computer.
I really like this printer and hope you can help me.

I hope you are doing well and sorry lt learn that you are having this issue.
If you still facing this issue I will do my best to help you

HP office jet pro 8600 - wireless printing problem

I am having difficulty printing wirelessly from my iMac to my HP office jet pro 8600. Sometimes it will print, often after waiting hours. But quite often it does print and when I click on the printer icon there is a message that states: "Ready on Server. The printer is not responding. I have no problem or delay in printing from my iPad or iPhone. Tried turning the printer on and off.

when you set it up with your wireless router did you let the printer detect the connection. If so check the wireless channel the router is set to. I changed mine and wham, now it prints as soon as my finger hits the mouse button. Hope this helps.

Ipad mini printing to Hp office jet pro 8500 wireless

Any suggestions re printing from Ipad mini using HP office jet pro 8500 wireless which supposedely is Airprint compatible?Downloaded HP's Eprint but it was not able to ID printer. Thank you.

If its AirPrint compatible you should not need an additional App. The App is onyl foir their wireless Printers which aren't Air Print compatible.
Make sure the printer is connected to the same Wifi network as the iPad. Then tap on the "Send To" icon in any App that you wish to print. Then tap on the Print option.
From there it should Appear as a selectable Printer in the Printers button

Hp Office Jet Pro 8600 A910, suddenly can't send fax. Reveiving faxes are ok.

We can't send any fax, but we can still receive a fax. This happened suddenly without any changes (on device or our telephone line) When sending a fax it dials and gives a busy tone. After that we get a error sheet pointing out Error 388, communication error. Following things we did:- Tried sending fax on our other phone line to rule out broken phone cable/connections.- Called to phone and from phone to fax which worked.- Printed out T90 testsheet. All tests passed.- Tried faxing with ECM off or in other words turned off the error connection mode.- Tried faxing with lower connection speed setting.- Checked other settings to see if there was anything wrong, but all okay.- Powered off, disconnected power cable for at least 15 seconds. Is the fax broken or anything else we can try?

Hi , I see you have been troubleshooting an issue with your Officejet Pro 8600 no longer able to send faxes, and I think I may have found some more information for you. Can you specify your your exact printer model for me? In your post title you say it is an 'Office Jet Pro 8600 A910' but and A910 is an Officejet 8500A. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? Seems like an odd question, but the printer make a copy? It could be an issue with the scanner mechanism.
Is the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or is it in a surge protector or a power bar? We want to connect it to a wall outlet just so we can eliminate the power source as the root cause. See this document for more information about Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector (Note: This document is not limited to Laserjet printers.)
HP regularly releases firmware updates that may also correct the problem you are experiencing. You can click on this link to;Get Printer Updates for HP Officejet Pro 8600 (N911), Officejet 6600 (H711) and Officejet 6700 Premium (H711) e-All-in-One Printer SeriesGet Printer Updates for HP Officejet 6500A, and Officejet Pro 8500A e-All-in-One Printer Series Have you tried to run the Fax Test Report? It's usually located in the setup menu, under tools. The fax test report will let you know if it finds any problems and how to correct them. Once everything passes on the fax test report, you can Test Your HP Fax Machine with the HP Fax Test Service. I reviewed the error code you provided from the Interpreting Error Codes in Fax Communication Error or Fax History Reports document. Error 388: There is too much noise on the line for a valid connection between two fax machines to complete. The noise problem might go away over time. Retry the fax reception when telephone line conditions have improved. Call the telephone provider if line conditions fail to improve. Have you touched base with the phone company to make sure they have not changed anything on their end? Does this same error occur with every number you try to dial? You could see if anything in Fax Sending Fails Intermittently or Fails for Only One Recipient is helpful as well. Please let me know if these steps resolved your issue, or if there is anything else I can do to help. I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks,

Office Jet Pro 8000 Does Not Recognize Legal Paper

I have an Officejet Pro 8000 and added a second paper tray for legal paper. I know I'm not doing something simple but can't remember how to get printer preferences to show both letter and legal for available paper. I chatted with tech support for an hour and still no answer. Would appreciate any help in getting my printer to recognize legal paper. When I empty the top tray, it does grab the legal paper. Thanks!

OK, good.
Have you gone to: Start, Control Panel, Printers...right click on the printer and selected Printing Preferences? It should be in there.
Also, when you open a print dialog (by selecting File, Print or cntl-P from any program) you should be able to select which tray it prints from.
If you have been on the phone about this for an hour you have probably done this, but it should really be there.
There is a relatively new software/driver package for XP and your printer here.

Office Jet Pro 8000 - Feed problems

Our officejet pro 8000 has just decided to stop feeding paper, whether I have 10 sheets or 50 sheets inserted it wont feed. It just makes a clicking sound, not so much a grinding sounbd, definatly a clicking sound. On inspection it looks like a cog maybe jumping?
Anyone else had issues with this model and found a fix?
thanks
Si

I am having the exact same problem - constant feed problems - and I have tested other kinds of paper....

Laserjet pro 200 color MFP won't print cyan

My HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw printer has stopped printing cyan. It does it for files sent to the printer as well as just trying to make a copy. The cyan cartridge has been replaced and status shows full. I've run all the onboard diagnositics, cleaning page, etc. with no luck. How do I determine the problem and fix it?

Hi , Thanks for getting back to me! It's not abnormal to see some print quality issues once your toner is lower that 20%. Were you able to complete the steps in the document that I sent? Is there any cyan on the print quality printout at all? If not, it could be a defective toner cartridge. I would suggest contacting HP Support to inquire about a replacement if it is a Genuine HP toner cartridge.**Fill in the model number and the form to receive a case number for quicker assistance. If a replacement toner cartridge does not resolve the issue, then it's possible that the printer may need to be serviced. Hope this helps!Thanks again for posting, and have a great day.

Office jet pro 8500 wireless. Can't scan.

The option to scan has disappeared. I normally right-click on the printer icon and the scan option comes up. It is no longer there. What do I do?

Uninstall the printer. Reinstall the full feature software for your printer and configure the wireless again. The feature should be back after you do that.
