Officejet 6000 (E609n) won't print anything

I'm running Windows 7, SP1 and have my E609n hooked up via usb, with the wireless off.
My power button is flashing continuously, with no other lights coming on. Every 30 seconds or so it produces a sound that sounds like a single cycle of the roller. Print jobs spool, but the printer never changes state. If I lift the lid the print head moves over and the power light goes solid with the paper feed light soild. When I close the lid it goes back to just the power light flashing.
I've reset the printer with the unplug/hold power button method and reset the print spooler. When I power the printer back up it cycles normally and returns to power light flashing state when it's done booting. I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the printer from my system. No change.
It's out of warranty, so I'm curious if there's anything else I might be able to do. Thanks.

Officejet 6000 E609n prints on USB. I am unable to get it to run wireless

HP Officejet 6000 E609n Win 7 64 bit
My printer works on a USB connection but I have not been able to get it to
function on a Wireless to router connection.

Ok, since you get the error "The selected printer is not present." during the installation, here is some troubleshooting that should help narrow down the cause/resolve the issue:

My HP officejet 6000 E609n wireless does not print on envelopes.

My HP officejet 6000 E609n wireless does not print on envelopes. When I send an envelope address from the Microsoft Word envelope app, the envelope loads and then it is send through the printer without printing on the envelope. If instead of loading an envelope I load a plain sheet of 8x10.5 paper it will print the address as it should (side ways and on what would be an envelope). I have had no problem printing envelope to my old DeskJet 930C with this Word envelope app.
I load the envelopes without the 8x10.5 paper and the paper guide moved over to the edge of the envelopes up which are against the right side of the load table as indicated on the tray guide.

After many frustrating and fruitless attempts to solve this problem, including updating the drivers and following so many bits of advice from so many sources including contacting HP customer services by phone and email (who have not, so far, shown the courtesy of acknowledging my enquiry), I seem to have overcome the problem by cutting a piece of A4 paper along its length to a width, which when added to the envelope’s height, equals the width of an A4 sheet. For example, I use DL envelopes which have a nominal width of 110mm so the width of the piece of paper cut from A4 (which is 210 mm wide) is 100 mm. This strip is then temporarily attached to the envelope by piece of low tack tape (such as masking tape) running along and joining the paper and the envelope tabs. I feed this assembly of strip and envelope into the printer in the default position, (i.e. the envelope on the right hand side of the tray, face down with the sealing tabs on the left). The printer seems to treat this assembly as a piece of A4 and prints the address etc on the envelope correctly. The envelope is then easily detached from the tape without damage and I have found that this works many times as sufficient tack remains on the tape. I know this sounds a little complicated but it soon becomes a simple task.
The HP Officejet 6000 printer has previously worked splendidly, printing envelopes from the Word 2007 envelopes function running on XP but has only recently malfunctioned since changing to Windows 7. For the record, I have also tried to print envelopes using the Word compatibility mode without success.

HP Officejet 6000 Wireless - Does not print black correctly.

HP Officejet 6000 Wireless - Does not print black correctly.
Previously the printer was printing fine.
This evening I printed a diagram I made in MS PowerPoint. The diagram contained black and red text along with black, red, and blue lines. When I took the printed page from the printer, all the black items looked faded. Instead of black, they printed as a light, faded gray. The red and blue printed correctly.
Another user of the printer printed some documents around the same time. These documents had nothing but black text. Every page this user printed showed up completely blank. The black was not even faded. There were no signs of anything being printed on the pages at all.
It seemed strange that one print job would print faded black and the other printed nothing. Considering the possibility that the ink was low, a new black cartridge was placed into the printer. The exact same results occured. My diagram printed correctly except for the fact that the things that were supposed to be black were coming up as light gray. Once again, the documents printed by the other user came up completely blank.
I ran a print test on the printer. It printed a Windows logo with the word "Windows" below. The logo printed correctly. The text showed up as a light, faded gray.
A third user printed an Excel spreadsheet. The cell borders were printed as a light gray. Nothing else printed. Everything in the spreadsheet was supposed to be black.
The third user also printed a recipe from MS Word. Most of the text showed up as a light, faded gray. Some text did not show up at all. I could not see any correlation between what showed up in faded gray and what did not show up.
It seems to me that if something was wrong with the cartridges, it would either always be faded or not print at all. I can consistently get some things to print faded and other things to not print at all. Color always prints correctly.
The print jobs were sent to the printer wirelessly from three different computers. Two computers run Windows 7 (x64). The third computer runs Windows XP SP2.
As far as I can tell, nothing was changed or done differently between now and the last time something printed correctly.
Might this be a driver issue? Since the printing consistently prints one way for certain files and another way for other files, I don't see it as being caused by hardware. If it's not a software issue, what could possibly cause the effects I described above?

Officejet 6000 e609n cannot convert to from USB to wireless

I am attempting to convert the connection to my Officejet 6000 E609n printer from USB to wireless (XP Pro SP3). After going to the HP icon on my Application Menu and navigating to the “Configure Wireless Settings” the following sequence of events occur: 1) A window with the title “Installing Officejet 6000 e609n” opens. As it opens the progress bar shows set 3 of 4. 2) A window titled “Network Setup” opens with an instruction “Temporarily connect the printer to your computer using a USB cable.” A box in the lower left corner of the window is to be checked if you printer is already connected via USB cable. (Mine is, and has been for some time.) 3) After checking the box and pressing NEXT, another window opens to select the printer being installed. The HP Officejet 6000 e609n series is the only printer listed. I select it, and press Next.) This message comes up: “Selected printer is not present. Please connect the printer and press Retry or press Cancel to select another.” I then cancel my way out of setup. I can print a test page and other jobs from the computer via the USB connection – no problems. What could be causing this? FYI I have gone thru the reset routine, no change. I could not find a similar situation on the wireless printer forms.

I am having the same prob. No resolve yet.

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!

HP C4180 Won't Print Anything

Hello,
I've got a Photosmart C4180 that I use with my Toshiba laptop running Windows XP. My wife was printing some invitations she is making when all of the sudden it just stopped printing anything. She was only printing in black/white, but it won't print anything. She tried replacing the black printer cartridge to no avail. Now I can't get it to print the Test Report (it acts like it is, but there is nothing on the page). When I clean the cartridges nothing prints. When I align the cartridges nothing prints and I get a cartride alignment error, but I am assuming that is because it isn't printing anything and thus doesn't have anything to check the alignment of.
Can anyone help me with this? I'm usually able to get it working, but not this time. What happens to new print cartridges past their expiration date? I'm not sure how "old" this new one is since my wife threw out the container it was in before I was called onto the scene.
Thanks

Hello eschwach,
It's been a few months, but I think the culprit wound up being the "new" print cartridge was too old and didn't work properly. I think it was about a year past it's expiration date (never knew print cartridges had expiration dates). Anyway I went out and bought a new one and it worked fine.
Have you tried any new cartridges?

Hp officejet pro 8500a won't print or copy without turning off then on again

HP Officejet pro 8500A, Will not print, copy or print received fax. HP icon on the Printer screen just spins, but never prints. The print jobs show in the Que, but never print out. If I shut off the printer and turn it back on it will print, but after a short while it stops again. It has also asked for ink to be replaced.

Hello pcmtgrl
Which model of the Officejet 8500A series do you have? Typically you can find it inside the printer where you change the ink cartridges. Example: A910g, A910a, etc.
Has anything changed recently since the problem started? Is the printer plugged into a wall outlet or a surge protector? Do you have the latest firmware installed? I also suggest running the HP Hardware Diagnostic Utility. Let me know if it finds anything out.

Officejet Pro 8625 won't print.

Recently purchase Officejet Pro 8625. It won't print from my XP computer, USB interface. I have connected a Vista laptop to it and it prints.
When I send a test page to it, the print dialog box shows the print job status as "spooling", then the job disappears, but it didn't print.
I tried downloading the 8625 basic driver from HP's site. As I walk through the setup, when it asks me to plug in the USB cable, I can't go any further. I don't think that the computer can see the printer. I have another printer, and using the same USB port and cable, I can print without problems.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Click the Start button and then click on Run.
Type spool into the run dialog and click on OK.
Open the Drivers folder.
Open the w32x86 folder.

Photosmart 7550 suddenly won't print anything but scanned images?

Hi all,
I've had this printer for a while and have had zero problems with it, and I don't think there's one now. More likely a setting I can't find. I just scanned a bunch of stuff that printed up just fine, but text documents, (I use Open Office) and PDF docs will not. I've tested this out and haven't been able to discover what I've done wrong. I can print anything that I've scanned (scanned docs are displayed by Windows Photo Gallery), but no ODT (Open Office) or PDF (Adobe Acrobat). Won't print from e-mail, either. It was all working fine the last time I printed any ODT or PDF, but it has been a couple of months for those, though I was printing e-mails as recently as last week. Also, when I send the command to print, I see the status bar spooling the pages to print, but the printer never reacts. Then when I double click the printer icon in the toolbar, the printer status window that opens shows "printing", but then suddenly it says "deleting" and it disappears and there are no jobs pending.
I'm using Windows Vista 32-bit. Drivers are up-to-date.
Can anyone help?

HP Officejet 4500-G510a won't print in color but no error msg shown

I was printing in color when my tri-color cartridge ran out of ink. I installed a new HP 901 tri-color cartridge, aligned it and resumed printing, but only black and white was printed. I removed the cartridge and reinserted it, realigned it and tried again - same result. I powered off the printer and laptop and restarted - same result. Tried copying in color - same black and white result. Tried cleaning the print cartridges but no change. HP Solution Centre shows the color cartridge is full. HP laptop is running Win7. Any clues please? Yes I removed the protective strip
