OfficeJet 6500 Wireless E709n - faulty yellow cartridge sensor - How do I print black only?

Product is 5 years old.  Error message states that the Yellow Cartridge appears to be missing.  Unable to resolve following multiple Sensor and Sensor Window cleanings. Powered off/on several times including pulling plug. Attempted one new Yellow Cartridge (not a refilled used one).  Pulled all cartridges, cleaned, opened/closed the printer, lifted/lowered the gray print-head lever.  Unable to figure out how to print in only Black ink, if possible.  The cost of a new printer is about the same as Tech Support help (out of warranty).  Any thoughts on how to resolve (other than buying a new printer - unless it is time)?  Thank you in advance.
This question was solved.

Figured it out.  I missed cleaning some parts of the PrintHead.  Solved.

  • How do I print from an iPad 3 Generation to an Officejet 6500 wireless E709n printer

    I am a new iPad user and I have a 3rd Generation iPad and want to print to an Officejet 6500 wireless E709n printer but the iPad does not recognize the printer when I try to print or visa-versa.  I am using a Ubee Modem/Router and don't know what to do. What do I have to do or what do I have to download to make the iPad and HP Printer print.

    .... No AirPrint Printers Found. And it won't Print
    Hi,
    Your printer is not in the list therefore no AirPrint available. Your printer does not support ePrint therefore you can use Home & Biz apps. Have you downloaded apps to your iPad yet ? If yes, please try:
    Pressing the iPad home button two times (a list of currently running apps should appear at the bottom of the screen).
    Press and hold the HP ePrint Home & Biz app until it starts to move around.
    Press the red 'X' on the app to end its process.
    Press the iPad home button.
    Regards.

  • Poor Color Print Quality With the HP Officejet 6500 Wireless E709n

    I am experiencing horrible print quality with this printer.  Colors are way off what they appear on the screen - reds appear yellow, browns appear blue / green.  The printer has new HP ink cartridges, both basic and advanced inkjet cartridge cleaning processes have been run and the inkjet alignment process has been run.  What can be done to correct this problem?

  • Officejet 6500 wireless E709n general error 0x6100004c, what does this mean?

    Been getting general error 0X6100004C many times now when powering up the printer. Have tried powering off printer and powering back up, still same result. Seems only way to clear error is to remove all cartridges from printer and power it off then back on without the cartridges. The printer then says no cartridges in printer, but after powering printer off and re-installing cartridges, error message clears. Any ideas?  

    This article should help resolve the error you are getting:

  • Scanning to email officejet 6500 wireless e709n

    Is there a way to scan from my all-in-one straight to e-mail?

    Do you mean without a connection to a PC?  If so I do not think so.  If not, on the PC you can do the following:  open HP Solution Center, select the 6500, select Scan Picture or Scan Document as appropriate, then in the next page select "Scan Document to email" or "Scan Image to email" depending on which one you selected.  Next click Scan and a window will come up asking for the destination address and any other information to include.

  • 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.”

  • HP Officejet 6500 Wireless/Curled corner with Ink blotch

    I am printing on 5.83" x 8.27" cardstock in color.  The left hand top corner of nearly every page is turned up with a round ink blotch that smears if you touch it.   I have printed about 100 of these on new color ink cartridges and it is getting worse to the point that nearly every page now has this issue.  I have run the "clean printhead' function on the tools menu but that doesn't help.  Any suggestions?

    Hello blueeyes14,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!  I see you are running into some print quality issues when attempting to print on 5.83" x 8.27" card stock to your HP Officejet 6500 Wireless Printer. After taking a look at the Supported Card Sizes, the card stock you are using is not supported. With that being said, there could be a few factors that are causing the issue you are experiencing:
    1. The card stock may be to thick, so the ink is not able to properly dry before it finishes the print causing the blotch and curl. (I understand you may have had successful prints with that cardstock size, that does not mean it is supported)
    2. I notice you have printed 100+ of these, please keep in mind if the printer is running for long periods of time this could cause it to overheat and not work properly.
    Can you please let me know what the weight of the card stock is you are using?
    I will watch for your reply.
    Thanks,

  • HP Officejet 6500 Wireless Scaning black lines on copies

    HP Officejet 6500 Wireless Scaning black lines on copies

    Hello Dadbowling, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you are experiencing lines in your copies.  I would like to help.
    I would recommend removing the ink cartridges, and performing a power reset.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would also recommend following the steps in this document on Vertical Bands, Lines, or Streaks in Copies, Faxes, or Scans.

  • HP officejet 6500 wireless suddenly stopped printing black ink.

    HP Officejet 6500 wireless has stopped printing black ink.  Followed all troubleshooting steps to no avail. Prints colors but black is either very faint or not present

    Welcome to the forums Irgoodspeed
    I saw your post about your Oj 6500 Wireless no longer printing in black ink. I noticed you have already changed the cartridge which did not help.
    I would recommend following this troubleshooting guide:
    Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages
    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.

    I have an extra HP OfficeJet 6500 wireless printer around and I wanted to see if it had a twain driver so we could use it to scan to attach directly to QuickBooks.  QuickBooks lists scanners they think would work and it is not on the list but they also state that any twain driver should work.
