Office jet Pro 8500 won't print thru wireless network.

All of a sudden, my printer will not print anything from any of my devices. The print items just get backed up in the queue. The printer is connected to the router, all the test and configuration pages say it is fine and ready. I have windows 7.
This question was solved.

OMG! I can't believe the fix was something so simple. I had installed a new router. Windows for some reason created a virtual printer with a Web Services Drive and port (which wasn't working or I do not know how to set it up correctly), and removed my "hard" printer. I simply went into Network, Add a Printer, it found the original hard printer, I added it, it removed the virtual WSD ports, and now everything is printing correctly again!

Why does my hp office jet pro 8500 premier not print what is seen in print preview when using excel?

HPoffice jet pro 8500 premier, Windows Vista

Hi,
Please try this test: In Excel setup print area and print again. If the printer prints the right area that means something in Excel. Some Excel cells may contain something and Excel sends all to printer.

I have a office jet pro 8500 A909 a printer. Will it print wireless? windows 7 & 8

can it be modified to print wireless if it won't do it now

Hi,
The HP Officejet Pro 8500 (A909a) can only be connected using USB or wired Etehrnet, the printer itself cannot be connected wirelessly.
By connecting it using a network Ethernet cable you may install the printer on any PC connected to the same network, either Wirelessly or Wired..
For Windows 8 download and use the doftware below:

For Windows 7 you may gt the latest software from here:

HP Office Jet Pro 8500 -- Can't print 1x2 poster for 11x17 paper

The menu for poster printing doesn't have a selection for printing a 1x2 poster for joining 8.5x11 paper to a 11x17 poster.
So, how can I set this up manually? HP needs to allow more poster alternatives.
Regards, Bearski

Hi @Grammacay
I understand you were unable to scan previously and have resolved that issue, but now suddenly you can not print. Please try the following;
Reset Printing System
Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click System Preferences.
In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
Right-click (or  Ctrl  +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Repair Disk Permissions
On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
Once the repair is complete, restart the computer and download and install the HP Printer Drivers for OS X.
Now when you add the printer, you should have the HP driver to choose, do not select the AirPrint driver.
Select Add other Printer or Scanner
Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can the printer driver
Please let me know how this works out.

For further assistance, I will need to know:

If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the printer is able to make copies by itself.
If the power cable plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.

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 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 won't scan

Wirelessly connected office jet pro 8600 won't scan in windows. I've checked to make sure proper services are running and they are. Started running diagnostics utility and the driver didn't check out but I have the correct one installed and the printer works just fine. Occasionally a message pops up and says that the computer has lost connection with the scanner. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi GradyIV,
I can help you scan from your Officejet 8600 to your Windows operating system. It sounds like you have run the HP Print and Scan Doctor, is this whee you say the driver error?
I suggest using the following steps to delete the printer from device and printers, and the driver from the server properties.
1. In the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder
2. Choose ‘Print server properties’.
Win XP – With no printer selected, click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.
Windows Vista – With no printer selected, press ‘Alt’ then click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.
Windows 7/8 and 8.1 – Select any printer in the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder and click ‘Print Server properties’ above.
3. Click on the ‘Drivers’ tab at the top of ‘Print server properties’ window
4. Choose the printer you want to uninstall and click ‘Remove’
5. Choose 'Remove driver only'
6. The next screen will give a warning, letting you know that deleting the driver package will remove it from the system. Click ‘Yes’ to say that you are sure you want to do this.
If documents are stuck in the print spooler, you may see an error, cancel any documents pending in the print queue, or try restarting the print spooler, then try to remove the driver from ‘Print server properties’ again. If it still won’t remove the package, restarting the computer and the printer should resolve this ‘in use’ error and allow the driver to be removed.
After the driver is removed, open Start > All Programs > HP folder > Printer folder > HP Setup and Software (or the printer icon).
The Setup and software screen will open and you can click on Connect a new printer.
If the issue persists let me know and I will do what I can to help.

HT6114 HP Office Jet Pro 8500 Scanner no longer works with Mavericks upgrade

I have an all-in-one printer/copier/fax/scanner, HP Office Jet Pro 8500. The scanner no longer works with the Mavericks upgrade. Is it possible to get the scanner back in use? The printer and fax is fine, but I really use the scanner a lot. Please helap me.

The following link to the HP Support site indicates that scanning is still supported for the OfficeJet Pro 8500 using Mavericks but also indicates that "you may need to scan in a different way than you did before you installed Mavericks."

Two office jet pro 8500 printers set up to operate wirelessly from one computer

I have two office jet pro 8500 Wireless printers in my real estate office. I would like for them to both operate wirelessly from one computer, but can't get it to work. I do not have any firewalls enabled. I can get only one to work.

Do you have a network (wireless router) in your office that you are trying to connect the printers to or are you connecting directly to each printer via its "hpsetup" network?

HP Officejet pro 8500 won't print and keeps asking for a proxy setting. Help.

HP Officejet pro 8500 won't print and keeps asking for a proxy setting. Help.

Hi,
Can you confirm that you have an Officejet 8500a or Officejet 8500? On the 8500a model, you can set the networks proxy address and port setting from the front panel of the printer (setup>Webservices setup>proxy). If you are unsure what your proxy settings are you'll need to contact your network admin. If your network uses a proxy users name and password for all devices, you need to enter this information along with the proxy address and port in the printers embedded web server. Type the products IP address into an internet brownser window (printer must be connected to the same network as PC). Select the network tab, and than look for the proxy settings option. Enter in the information and click apply. Once the networks proxy information has been correctly inputed into the embedded web server, try printing again. If unsuccessfully, you might try reinstalling the printer software after uninstalling it. Hope this helps!
