Officejet 4500 skips pages or parts of pages.

My Officejet 4500 worked great for about 6 months, but in the last few days it has started to only print the first few lines or at random portions of pages. Fiddling with the default printer setting helps sometimes for a while, but then it acts up again. Fooling with spooler settings also works (or seems to work) temporarily. Wasting paper, ink and time! I wonder if it  might be a java update problem -- I work with finicky niche software that doesn't like Java updates, so I skip them.

The solution below was found on the sticky post at the top of this board "Fixes and Workarounds from HP"
I think the patch below only applies if you have the original printer software installed, I assume this issue was fixed in later versions of the printer software, Read the patch information carefully.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus prints part of page and quits

    My brahd-new Officejet Pro 8600 Plus prints part of page and quits.  The manual said to clean the print heads and align the printer.  I did both of those.  It made the problem worse.   I'm printing on photo paper - HP Premium Plus.  It happens about 1/2 the time. 

    Hi beantowner2,
    I would like to begin with a few questions,
    Does this happen when you copy a photo, or only when you print form the computer?
    Do you have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or a surge protector?
    What operating system and version is on the computer?
    Is the printer connected to the computer with a USB cable or wirelessly?
    If you have a WIndows operating system please download and install the latest firmware version for the printer. HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g_n Firmware.
    If you are using a surge protector, I suggest disconnecting and connecting the power directly to a wall outlet.

  • Officejet 4500 Wireless i printed 25 copies of a text doc. About every 10th page partial page print

     officejet 4500 Wireless i printed 25 copies of a text doc. About every 10th page only partial page printed. Once only 1/2 anther time 2/3 and the printer continued in each case without intervention printing correct copies

    let's remove the printer thoroughly from the computer. I want you to uninstall, remove and otherwise delete any printer related folders or files on your computer. Remove them from Programs and Features, Device Manager, and Devices and Printers. The in the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Delete all the files and folders in the temp folder that allow you to delete them.
    Then restart your computer and re-download the -FULL-FEATURE- software and drivers and install the printer (link below). Do this and we will have a good starting position for the rest of the trouble shooting on this issue.

  • Officejet 4500 prints partial pages

    My Officejet 4500 started printing partial pages.  I have tried unpluging it, and reloading it.  It will not complete an alinement.

    Hey @ACHO ,
    Thank you for taking the time to post on the HP Forums today! Hope you enjoy the experience.
    I understand you are experiencing partial prints from your Officejet 4500. In my experience this means either the top or the bottom of the page is being cut off and not printed.
    Here is a document that addresses that issue. Printed Text is Cut Off at the Top or Bottom of the Page
    Hope this helps! Have a great day!

  • Cp 1700 skipping pages when printing

    I do not know if the problem comes from MS Excel or a printer issue but, when I go to print a multiple page spread sheet the first page prints and the rest are blank.
    Sometimes, but not on every skipped page I will get a page number printed.
    Help.

    Hello Imajene,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having some issues with the printer skipping lines when attempting to print.
    Please click on the following link for Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP ENVY 4500 and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3540 e-All-in-One Pr....
    Once you have completed the steps in the document, try doing a stand alone Copy and see if you have the same results.  If the issue is resolved when doing a Copy, then try printing from the computer.  If the issue reappears when printing from the computer, then this could be an issue with the software or a possible interruption from a Windows Firewall or Anti Virus program.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

  • Pages 5 skip page numbers

    In pages 5, can we skip page numbering for certain pages?
    For example if i have a document with 10 pages, can I remove the page number in the 4th page and continue numbering from 5th page?
    Normal numbering: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
    I want to make it: 1,2,3,_,4,5,6,7,8,9
    What I want a solution for is, I have several chapters in a document and each chapter has an introduction page. I have added a section for each chapter. I don't want to count the introduction page in each chapter for page numbering.

    You will need to insert a Section Break after the Intro, delete the page number on the Intro page, set the following pages not to continue from previous and to start from whatever page number you want.
    May I say that what are doing on the face of it is bad design and will lead to more confusion than benefit, particularly if odd and even pages flip from left to right and back again.
    Speaking of which how are you getting around the lack of facing pages in Pages 5?

  • Is there any "skip page count" command for last page?

    Hello,
    May I know if there is a command(such as even-skip-page-count) specifically for the document last page?
    I have a requirement where PO/Invoice T&C should be printed at the back of the last page only.
    The blog of Tim (http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2007/10/here_are_my_terms_conditions.html) covers
    only odd/even printing.
    Thanks in advance.
    Rownald

    nagornyi is correct.
    i will just expand a bit on the use but it can be found in the documentation.
    you will need to add a section break to the last page of your report
    and also remember to add the header information of you report.
    I may be wrong but when I left the header info out it was not printing.
    header information goes above the tags and footer(totals and stuff like that) below the tags

  • C309a Fax and scan skips pages

    When I send faxes, or scan, it skips pages - at random...
    will fax/scan send pages 1,2,3, skip page 4, send page 5,6, skip 7 etc...  no pattern.  Have looked at page size settings - all seems fine.
    Also - any way to get scanned pages to combine into one file versus a separate file for each page?  
    Any help/advice would be appreciated.

    Are you feeding pages from the ADF?  I would suggest you try making a copy from the ADF - does it also skip pages?  If so then issue is likely the ADF is occasionally feeding multiple pages.  You can troubleshoot ADF issues as shown here.  
    For the scan issue it will depend on your operating system and what program you are using.  If you are using Solution Center go to the Scan page, Scan a document, then select change settings in the lower right corner.  In the Change Settings dialog box is a checkbox to make separate files.  If unchecked it should put them all in one file.

  • Cs4.. nook export for epub skipping pages.

    I have a book .indb file. Has 335 chapters in it. But each page is small. If I try to export a file for digital editions it skipps pages at after a certain page.  I checked out which page was the last processed. Then checked the other pages out all around it. There is nothing wrong with these pages.  So I made two smaller book files of the .indb type.
    Thinking I would narrow down the problem page.
    Part1: export created an .epub file... no pages skipped!
    Part2: export said it skipped the last three pages. Still gave me visible pages up to the last three pages. Just what I thought if the error stated ...it skipped 3 pages.
    So I thought it could be memory.  I only have 1gig of ram right now.
    I decided to see if I reduced the number of chapters or pages in Part2  and included the last three that were skipped maybe they would process.
    So somewhere way above the last 3 ... I deleted 5 chapters .. they were up toward the beginning of the file.  Nowhere near the last three.
    The entire part2 of the book file excluding the 5 I delete still including the last three pages processed.  There was nothing wrong with the skipped pages. So my question is. .. could it be because I only have 1gig of ram?
    When a book file exports to digital editions, all chapters are being held in memory right... so maybe it couldn't process the last three. Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    I really hate to tell you this. InDesign CS4 was the first version to support export to EPUB. Virtually no one used it. It was very limited and very buggy.
    You really need to be using a later version of InDesign, especially with a very large book. If you're having problems, I'm not surprised.
    There were improvements in CS5, and major improvements in CS5.5, CS6 and CC.

  • Skip page numbering?

    Hi,
    I am trying to skip page numbering in InDesign. I have been looking everywhere and cannot get an answer! How do I insert (or have) pages throughout the document that do not coincide with the page numbers? I know there is a way. Please help!
    Fin

    I think you might need to go into a bit more detail - I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve, so I don't know what to suggest. If I have to build a document where every other page is skipped, I:
    1) Make a raw text file with sequential numbers
    2) Make a story of tiny linked frames in the lower-right-hand corner
    3) Place the text file
    This creates pages with right-hand-only page numbering.
    If you need only occasional un-numbered pages, you could to pull it off with this technique, or I think you might be able to do it with sections, but I am uncertain, never having had to build anything of the sort.
    If neither of these cases applies to you, perhaps you could go into a bit more detail and someone will have a solution that is a better fit for your case.

  • Officejet 4500 cannot connect?

    Hi, i've recently installed a brand new officejet 4500 G510n-z and it has been installed correctly and is running through my router and the connection is apparently fine but I cannot seem to actually print a document or web page.
    Under my device manager it says the printer is "offline" and clicking connect does nothing. I've tried to run it manually through the modem and i've unchecked "use printer offline".
    When I select a document to print and choose to print it, nothing happens whatsever on the printers part. And when I installed it a few days ago the test prints done during the installation worked fine, through wireless.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    I think the connection might be lost already.
    I suggest you set up this printer on your wireless network again. you can follow below sequences:
    1. Power on your printer.
    2. Press "Set up" button, scrolls to "wireless menu" then "set up wizard"
    3. Search for your WLAN ID, and press "ok" to connect.
    4. After the connection is successful,  go to your PC ->"All programs" -> "HP" ->"Officejet 4500 G510n-z" -> "Add a device"
    5. Follow the set-up instruction to finish. If you can not find this printer in the network search result, please use "Show advanced Search Options"  and key in your printer's IP address there, then search again. To get the printer's IP address, press "Set up" -> "Wireless menu" -> "IP settings"-> "Manual", you will find it.
    6. After the printer setup, try again on printting.
