Officejet 4500 Wireless All-in-One Printer - G510n & Win 7. Installing since October Last Year.

I have a Toshiba Satellite A665 Laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium OS.  Initially I installed the Printer software and Drivers from the product disc, connect via USB during setup as requested and the printer would work fine, until I shut it down at the end of the day.  The next day, I get the message that the "Drivers for Officejet 4500 Wireless All-in-One Printer - G510n are missing".  This all started last October and continues.   The Network diagnostic tool doesn't see the printer, but the Print & Scan Diagnostic tool identifies it, but then the program stops responding. 
I have installed, uninstalled, reinstalled the drivers and software from both the product disc and from hp.com at least 10 times. I have installed the basic setup as well as the full installation. the only thing I can think of is when the printer goes into power saving mode, I lose my wireless connection.

It sounds like your printer IP address might be changing.   Have you run the HP print scan doctor?
hp.com/go/tools  --> HP Print and Scan Doctor
This tool will often find issues with printer driver installation.  
I don't have a OfficeJet 4500 here, but if there is a wireless button you can push it, get the wireless menu, select IP address.   Does this match the IP Address you find when you select  "(Windows Start) --> All Programs --> HP --> HP OfficeJet 4500 --> Update IP Address" from Windows?
If they don't match, use the IP address from the printer and type it into the Update IP Address window.  This may help...

    Hello,
    How did you install the scanner? Was there an error during the install? Have you ever been able to scan successfully?
    If you go into the Device Manager, is there an exclamation point under the scanner? If so, you can update the driver from there by directing it to the downloaded software or to the disc.
    Thank you

    Hello bob5e,
    I am sorry to hear that you are unable to install successfully on your Windows 8.1 with your Officejet 4500 Wireless. I can see that the installation quits on you, giving you an error message. I am going to recommend trying a couple of things to hopefully make the installation successful.
    1. First of all, try installing by using The Printer Install Wizard for Windows which finds the correct driver for your unit and installs it.
    2. If that does not work, please try this next troubleshooting document step by step.

  • HP Officejet 4500 Desktop All-in-One Printer - G510a and Windows 8.1

    The drivers for this do not seem to work on Windows 8.1.  Whilst I can print no problem I cannot access the solution centre from my new laptop and i cannot scan.  It gives me the message No scan options refer to device documentation to troubleshoot.  It works fine on my old laptop which has Windows XP installed.
    NB i have tried installing from your website and when i click on install it runs for a few seconds then sends the error message that it cannot find the file.
    Does this mean that the HP Officejet 4500 Desktop All-in-One Printer - G510a is not fully compatible with Windows 8.1.  Help please I am getting very frustrated.

    Hi amp229,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see that your are getting the specified file cannot be found error, during the installation.
    Please try the following:
    1.) Check that IE pop-up blockers are turned off before downloading the installer. Internet Explorer Pop-up Blocker: frequently asked questions.
    Then try the install.
    2. If you're running McAfee Live Safe or any other firewall, please temporarily disable the "real time scanning". Turn off real-time scanning.
    Then try the install.
    3. Go to the start screen (you may also press the windows key + R to open the run box) and type %WINDIR% this should show the windows folder.
    Click on the folder and scroll until you see files. Look for a filed named "HPWINS*.DAT" (the * is for a number that varies) remove this file and try the installation.
    Then try the install.
    Hope this information helps, and have a great day!

  • Problem with HP Officejet 6500 Wireless All-in-One Printer - E709n

    I have a HP Officejet 6500 Wireless All-in-One Printer - E709n that keeps going off-line all the time.
    How do I fix this problem?

    What operating system?  If Win 7 64-bit, try this: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&softwareitem=mp-89191-1

  • Scanning with HP Officejet 6500 Wireless All-in-One Printer - E709n using Windows 7 Pro editition

    I have had this printer for many years and it was fully operational only for the first two years of its link to my computer.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software many times with no success.  The Printer/Scan doctor does not solve the problem  and gives an error HP Twain Scan.  The HP Scan Flow Manager also says that software components are missing The printer works fine but the scanner in the solution center always responds with a error code saying installation is incomplete, "reinstall HP Photosmart software that came with the device and try scanning again" .  The extended error information is  4,[2,0,80040154), (0,0,0),(3,56,0)] Another computer, my wife's laptop, running Windows 8 was operational until the end of May 2015, and she is also getting this error code with her computer.  This has got to be the most annoying all-in-one I have ever used.  I have a Canon all in one at work that I have used with the laptop and the all operating features are mindless...it just works.  HP software must have compatibility issues either related to operating systems updates or security software.  My computer uses AVG, the laptop uses McAffee and beither scanner operates with this printer. I need to get this scanner operational!

    Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that you cannot scan with your HP Officejet 6500 wireless printer on Windows 7 and 8. I am happy to look into this issue for you!  Some questions for you:  Are you able to make copies with the printer from the scanner glass? Loading and Copying 216 x 279 mm (8.5 x 11 inch) Plain Paper. (This way we can verify that the hardware is functional.)Do you see any error messages on the printer's display screen, or blinking lights?  In the meantime, please take a look through this scanning guide, An 'HP Cue Scanning Flow component has encountered a problem and needs to be closed' Error Displays for HP Deskjet, Officejet, and Photosmart All-in-Ones. Hope to hear from you soon!  “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

  • Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One Printer - A909g printhead

    The printer has not been 100% for a few weeks. It would align the printhead fine. When printing, it didn't always print everything - one time blues would be missing, another black would be missing. Received a message saying the ink was out of date. Picked up new ink yesterday, installed it and the printer went thru it's normal routine - cleaning and aligning. It would print the page which was not good and then realign again.
    I read up on how to change the printheads. Problem is the printheads are stuck over to the right. I have pressed the * button and done anything else I could find. What do I do now?
    Carol Belles

    Hey @carolinva,
    I understand that you're having print quality printhead related issues on your HP Officejet 8500 Wireless All-in-One Printer. I would like to work with you today in resolving the issue of not being able to remove your Printheads. Now I understand that you have already tried new cartridges and run the cleaning and aligning on the product to no avail. At this point you have determined that the printheads are defective.
    Just so you are aware there are two printheads in your product. There is a Black and Yellow Printhead and a Cyan and Magenta Printhead. Because your quality issue is affecting blues and blacks than both printheads may be defective. The printheads run for about $64.99 a piece plus tax in the United States. Also, there is a chance that you could replace both printheads and the issue not be resolved because it's a hardware failure of your ink system. Therefore, the next step would be to replace the printer. New printers do not use the same ink systems as your Officejet 8500 printer so the Printheads would do you no good if you have to replace your product.
    Part Number for HP 940 Black and Yellow Printhead: C4900a
    Part Number for HP 940 Magenta and Cyan Printhead: C4901a
    I'm going to provide you steps on how to properly remove the printheads in your product. Because your printheads failed to initially move to the left I'm going to have you start by running a power reset.
    Step 1: Power Reset:
    With your printer powered on, disconnect your power cable.
    After 30 seconds, plug your power cable back in to the printer.
    Your printer should turn on automatically.
    Once the printer returns to the ready state, follow the steps below.
    Replacing the Printhead for HP Officejet Pro 8500 All-in-One Printer Series (A909)
    Please let me know if the steps provided resolve your issue. Should you have further issues be sure to let me know. Good luck!

  • Wireless configuration for HP OfficeJet 6500A plus All-In-One printer on Ubuntu 10.04

    I have bought a HP OfficeJet 6500A plus All-In-One printer CN557A, which I want to use with ubuntu 10.04 64-bit as a wireless network printer.
    Before i bought i checked compatibility on www.hplipopensource.org and www.openprinting.org, and all was in order.
    The machine is autodetected and fully functional when connected with a usb cable, but i have not managed to get it to work as a wireless printer.
    This is what I did:
    I configured the printer on the wireless network (through the printer interface), and it connects. It prints out a "Wireless Network Test Report", and everything works. I can ping to its local ip adress, and access it through the browser. HP eprint also works.
    I installed hplip 3.11.10 and dependencies manually. I did this because the default hplip in ubuntu 10.04 did not recognise the device.
    I ran 'hp-check', which gave no errors or warnings:

    I then ran 'sudo hp-setup', chose the device (which was detected), chose my wireless network, entered the wireless security key. On the configuration results dialog I get two messages:
    "Your printer has been succesfully configured on the wireless network. You may now unplug the USB cable"
    and
    "The Ethernet cable is plugged in which will prevent you from connecting to a wireless network. To connect wirelessly, remove the cable and try again. (VSA000)"
    There is no ethernet cable plugged in, so i can't remove it. I unplug the USB cable and click 'finish'. This makes the 'hp-setup'-dialog start over again, and the printer has not been installed.
    In the terminal i have the following:

    A friendly soul on ubuntuforums pointed out to me, that the wireless configuration is only necessary when the printer is NOT connected to a (W)LAN. So all I really had to do was to configure the printer in the CUPS administation page, and it worked. Problem solved. Silly me.

  • Printing problem - HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One Printer, Red color fads on 4th copy

    I have an HP HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One Printer, and am trying to print 75 copies of a program for our event. After the first 5-6 pages the RED in my program starts to turn magenta. I have brand new HP ink, and am printing on HP Color Injet Paper. I have renectly replaced the Black/Yellow printhead (at least 6 months ago). At first when I cleaned the printheads, I could print 2 or 3 pages showing my RED color. Then turns back to magenta. When I received the test patterns after cleaning the print heads they are all perfect with no lines.
    What is going on and how can I fix it?
    This question was solved.

    Hi TM1997,
    I understand you have an Officejet 8500 Wireless that is not printing red properly, it keeps turning to magenta. I'm sorry to hear this, but I will definitely do my best to help you!
    As I'm sure you saw, when replacing the black and yellow printhead, that there are two printheads in the Officejet 8500 and the second one controls the magenta and cyan. I would suggest that you first have a look through this Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues document. You can also manually clean your printhead with the steps in this 'The Following Printhead Appears to be Missing or Damaged' or 'The Following Printhead has a Problem... document.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!!

  • Printing problem - HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One Printer - printer head?

    I posted this elsewhere, but I think I posted it on the wrong Forum so I am posting it here now. I hope I did not do anything to upset anyone. I am new to this area, please forgive my clumsiness.
    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One Printer. I've had my printer since December 2009 and no problems. I recently bought a new laptop with Windows 7 and had to go online to find the drivers that work for my printer. Windows 7 was not compatible with this printer.
    Also recently, I am having a problem with what I think may be the black printer head, but when I run diagnostic on it everything comes back saying it is fine. However the problem still exist. When printing the black color will become faded in some areas and in some lines will not only almost totally fade out, but will almost look italic.
    Can you tell me if this is the printer head and does it need replacing or is there another problem?
    SondraS

    Are you using genuine HP cartridges and not refilled or third-party cartridges?
    Print the Print Quality Diagnostic page from the setup menu/print report/ on the printer's front panel
    Are there any quality issues with this page?

  • Scanning to Computer, HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All in one Printer A909g

    I am unable to scan to computer with Win 8.1 using my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless all in one Printer A909g.  I can scan to email.  The system says my drivers and software are up to date.  When trying to scan to computer all I get is a blank scan file with no scan number (Scan_Doc0054) as I used to with Vista.  In Vista I was able to drive the whole process from my computer.  When scanning to email now I have to drive it from my printer as opposed to the computer.
    I restarted an old computer running Vista and the 'scan to computer' function is operational.  As far as I am aware there are no other functional problems with the printer.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.  Thank you.

    Hi John046,
    I am sorry to hear that did not work for you, I do have some more options for you to try:
    Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
    Disable any antivirus programs. Windows Defender - Turn On or Off in Windows 8.
    Disable any firewalls. Disable firewall Windows 8.
    Re-install using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
    If that does not resolve your issue, please call our phone support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Country-language selector.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless all-in-one printer

    Just bought second-hand HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless all-in-one printer.  Have no clue how to get it working.  I plugged it in and it seems to be operational, but when trying to print, it did not work.  Have an HP Pavilion laptop with Windows 8.1.  Can anyone help me?

    Hi @trudi39 , and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I can see from your post you are experiencing print issues.  I would like to help!
    Do you receive any errors?
    Does it print a blank page, or nothing at all?
    Are you connected via wireless, ethernet or a USB cable?
    In the meantime, I would recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Wireless connection between computer and HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One Printer.

    I just bought an HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One Printer - H711a.  I want to have a wireless connection between my computer and my printer in order to place the printer in a different room. The instructions say that I need to give the name of my wireless network. Do they mean that I need a wireless internet connection? I absolutely don't want to go wireless on the internet. How do I go about this?
