Officejet 6500 709a printer noises?

When I send a document to be printed the printer makes many noises like it may be cleaning the print head before it prints. When the document does print, sometimes without making these noises, it almost always makes them after it has printed the document and I must wait to print another one until the printer is finished whatever it is doing. Seems to me that the printer should just print the document instead of making me wait. Am I asking too much? Is there a way to turn whatever is going on, off? Thanks in advance for your help.

The sound you hear is the printer servicing the printheads.  It will do this before a print job depending on how long it has been since the last print and also at the end of a job.  There is not a way to disable this.

  • Can I use my Officejet 6500 709a with HP e-print

    I have recently got a Samsung Galaxy Tablet and would like to print from it can I use my Officejet 6500 709A on hp e-print?

    Hey midnite1rc,
    The Officejet 6500 (E709a) series does not have the ability to connect to the web services server to obtain an ePrint code.  However, if you are using the ePrint app and have the Officejet 6500 connected to the same network as the Android device, then you can print to the 6500 using the Android device.  However, you will not have full ePrint access such as creating a custom email address for the printer and printing from anywhere in the world by emailing the printer.
    Hope this helps clarify,
    Jason

  • Windows 8.1 Dell 23" All In One & HP OfficeJet 6500 709a

    When using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro to create a PDF from a scan, my HP OfficeJet 6500 709a opens the HP scanning utility, makes noise and will scan one page and then stop.   I know it scanned a page because one went through the printer and came out but the HP scan utility just says "In Progress" and does nothing.   I have to force quit both Acrobat and the HP Scan to get out of it.   I just paid $450 for Acrobat for this sole purpose and am a bit frustrated.  All I need to do is scan to pdf multi page documents and nothing else.  Any thoughts here?  The Dell is 8.1 and the driver is the 32bit version.

    Just tried it on my Windows 7 Pro with an HP Officejet Pro L7680 and got the same error!   Seems HP and Acrobat XI doesn't play nice together?

  • How can I print to my HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless Printer from my iPhone 4S which used to work before AirPrint printers were even available? (running Mac Lion OS, all software and HP sw updates are all performed)

    How can I print to my HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless Printer from my iPhone 4S which used to work (on prior iPhones) before AirPrint printers were even available? (running Mac Lion OS, all software and HP sw updates are all performed)
    I don't get it, I read one post about why would we have to buy an AirPrint Printer when we have used the "print to a wifi printer" just fine in the past?  Yes I feel that's exactly what's happening to me now too. I want to print from my iPhone and iPad to my WiFi Printer which is also now connected to my Airport Express WiFi network just fine. No problems.

    Very glad you added that bit of information because I see different problems similar to this.  I want to share with them what you did and hopefully you not only fixed your specific problem but you can lend some more advice to others with problems like this. Thanks!

  • How to download How Do I? videos for my HP Officejet 6500 E709n printer?

    Dear Sir or Madam: Is there any way to download "How Do I?" video clips from the HP Solution Center for my HP Officejet 6500 E709n printer and save them directly to the desktop area of my Windows XP Home desktop computer? Please reply back soon. Thanks. Sincerely, Egan

    See requirements for AirPrint (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356):
    If your printer supports AirPrint but does not work then:
    Your printer might need a firmware update
    Your printer must be on the same WiFi network
    Your router must support Bonjour (Zero-configuration networking).
    For troubleshooting:
    Turn Off iPad, WiFi router (remove from power), and Printer (remove from power).
    Turn on WiFi router
    Wait 30 seconds

  • HP Officejet 6500 E709n printer - black ink not printing

    I have an HP Officejet 6500 E709n printer and for some reason the black ink is not printing.  The color cartridges work fine.  I even changed the black cartridge, cleaned and aligned the print heads, uninstalled and reinstalled the printer, but nothing fixed the issue.  I was wondering if the color management profile has something to do with this.  Please help!
    Thanks!

    I am experiencing the same problem. I too, have tried installing a new black ink catridge, taking out the printer head and cleaning it by hand, cleaning the printer head using the HP software, doing a partial reset, doing a hard reset and nothing. Black does not print out at all, whether it's an alignment page, quality report or something from my own files (Word, Excel, PDF, etc). The black does not appear at all. Can someone PLEASE help solve this problem?
    Thank you

  • Compatibility Windows XP HP officejet 6500 (E709) printer with new HP Pavilion

    I just purchased a HP Pavilion 23 all-in-one.  The store where I bought it said that they could not set up my HP Officejet 6500 (E709) printer because it was not compatible with the new Windows installed on the Pavilion.  The CD for the printer says Windows XP, Vista Version 12.00 on the label.  I hate to give up a perfectly good printer just because it is not compatible with the new PC.  Is there a fix for this or was the technician just not looking in the right place for the driver.

    Here is a link for the 6500 E709a drivers.
    There are a few E709 models, so if yours is not a E709a model post back with the correct model #.

    I have a kindle fire and a hp officejet 6500 wireless  printer. How do I connect the 2 and print a document that is on my kindle? They are both in the same house

    Hi,
    Please try:
    From a supported app, find the Print option from the app's menu, and then tap Print .
    Find the option to select your printer. The Kindle device displays a list of printers that are available on the Wi-Fi network.
    Find your printer on the Wi-Fi list, and then tap to select it. Once you select the printer, your device remembers the selection.
    If your printer is not on the Wi-Fi list or if you want to use the wireless direct connection method instead, find your printer on the Wireless Direct list, and then tap to select it. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the connection. Once your printer is connected, your device remembers the selection.
    Make any changes to the available printing options, if desired.
    Tap Print to send the print job to the printer.
    Pleae note: Only "Fire OS 3.0 (Mojito) devices such as the Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire HDX tablets support Printing from Kindle."

  • HP OFFICEJET 6500 709A WILL NOT SCAN FROM FRONT PANEL ON MACHINE os windows 7 what must be done?

    I have an oj 6500 709a all in one that will not scan when I press the scan button on machine.I have doown loaded all the updates and drivers.what must be done ?

    Hi z5090joe,
    Thanks for the response!
    We can check a few other things, since the scan communication itself seems to be working okay, just not from the front of the printer. I'd like to check the Scan Settings on the front panel with in the HP Solution Center.
    Once you're in the HP Solution Center, please click on Settings along the bottom, click Scan Settings, then click Scan To... Setup.
    You will then see a screen that has Available Scan Shortcuts on the left and Front Panel List (Scan To button) on the right. If there are no options on the right, please add the scan options you'd like from the left side by clicking on it and then clicking the Add button in the middle. If you add one by mistake just click on it and then click Remove. Once you've added the options click Update the Device and then OK on the next screen.
    If there are options on the right side when you open it, please Remove all of the options, click Update the Device, and then go back to the Settings screen, before following the same process described above to add the options to the right side.
    Once you've added the options check the front panel of the printer. If they still aren't there, please turn the printer off for 30 seconds before turning it back on (use the power button not the power cord) and try the Scan option again.
    Let me know how this goes for you!

  • HP Officejet 6500 E709a Printer - Wireless Networking Problem

    Hello, I hope you can help me with networking my Officejet 6500 printer.  I tried connecting it to my Dishnet wireless router via the USB connection.  There is a Netgear N300 wireless router connected to the Dishnet router.  I am running Windows 7 Home Edition 64 bit. 
    When I open up HP Solutions Center, and select Network Settings, I get the error, "This product has not been configured for networking.  No network settings are available."  I printed out a network configuration page but it says the network status is offling and the EWS shows http://0.0.0.0.  I have powered down everything (computer, printer, routers), and still get the same error.  I tried running the HP Print and Scan Doctor but it did not fix the issue.
    Besides the desktop, I have 2 other laptops that I would like to be able to print wirelessly from.  Thank you for any help you can provide.

    Hi DawnAZ,
    I'd like to help.  I have some questions.  Are you sure you have 2 routers?  I'm not saying you don't, but it is not typical.  Most often, a router is connected to a modem.  The Internet signal comes in to the modem and then transmitted to the network through the router.  I'm wondering if the Dishnet device is a modem and the Netgear is the router for your network.
    The connection from the printer to the router would be through an Ethernet cable.  A usb cable would not work for this connection.  I am going to insert an image to this post so you can see where the Ethernet cable needs to be plugged in to the printer so you can be sure it is plugged in to the correct port.
    I'm thinking that the printer should be connected to the Netgear with the Ethernet cable and another Ethernet cable should go from the Netgear to the modem.  Let me know if you what you think.
    The yellow plug is in the Ethernet port.

    I am having a difficult time printing a 5-3/4" x 8-3/4" envelope using Word.  I have used custom settings and nothing works.  Didn't have this problem with my HP Photosmart that I unfortunately gave away.  I need to print over 100 envelopes for wedding invitations.  Need help please.

    Hello EWSOPM
    I would agree its as if its setup to be a "Shared printer". I would suggest trying this setup article "Setting up Officejet 6500 with Wifi". If you need the latest driver you can find them at the "Officejet 6500 Software" page. Of course uninstall the printer from you laptop before re-installing. Also is your printer connected to the router via cable or wireless?
