Officejet 6500 won't print when Laptop is on the network.

We have a HP Officejet 6500 that connects to a laptop vis USB plug. It worked fine for a few weeks, but now anytime the laptop is connected to the office network by ethernet is will not print. Once you unplug the network cable from the laptop it prints fine. The laptop is running windows 7 and we installed the printer using the Windows 7 drivers from here. Please help!

This doesn't make sense. The printer is exhibiting behavior noticed when a network printer is connected to a laptop while the laptop is connected to a VPN. But in this case, neither the printer is connected on a network, not is the laptop connected to a VPN per se.
Are you sure all the latest drivers for your laptop have been installed? That's pretty much the only thing I can think of right now.

  • Officejet 6500 won't print black

    Hi,
    I have an Officejet 6500 AIO that will print any color besides black. We've already replaced the black toner cartridge, ran an alignment (which failed), and did 1st and 2nd level printhead cleaning, all with no improvement. I've been looking online and HP doesn't even sell replacement printheads anymore for this model, and the ones I could find from other vendors cost half the price of a new printer.
    Anything else I can try before calling it quits and replacing the whole unit?
    Thanks,
    Dave

  • HP Officejet 6500 won't print in black

    I noticed that my black ink started to streak so I replaced the black ink cartridge, cleaned printheads, and completed an alignment page.  All the colors showed on the test pages, except black, and the black characters that did show up were incomplete and streaked.  I tried printing in black and white, and the pages shoot out of the printer blank.  I've exhausted all the trouble shooting on HP and have had no luck.  Any ideas about what else I can try?

    There are 5 different versions of the Officejet 6500. I went with a basic model (E710a) to supply a troubleshooting quality document for poor printer output. This link will give troubleshooting steps to try and resolve the issue it lists some that you have mentioned doing but there are steps that listed that were not mentioned in the above post.
    If still having the problem, I would do a manual cleaning of the contacts on the printhead and on the print cartridges to ensure that build up is not an issue. Pages 117-121 of the user manual outline the print head cleaning process. Page 234 in the manual gives instructions to clean the contacts on the cartridges too. I hope that this helps

  • HP Officejet 6500 won't print black after power outages

    We experienced a series of power outages last night. Now the black won't print at all. The print cartridge is fairly new, about a month old, scarcely used. All the color cartridges will print.
    I've tried cleaning the print heads and running the alignment tests, but nothing can produce any black ink. For a pure text page with just black lettering and nothing else, the printer goes through the motions but nothing is printed.
    I have a feeling that the power outages tripped it up somehow. Is there a way to undo this?
    thanks in advance

    @Kenteeple and @oli22  If you make a copy, will that print black?

  • Can't stay connected to my printer when I re-enter the network

    We have had many issues with the HP printers over the years, but in fairness they work very well when everything is working.
    We have 2 computers in our house, both had issues reconnecting to the printers when the network went down etc... But I have fiddled around, and changed the IP address to a static IP, and now one of the computers works beautifully! It always connects, no problems printing, and it can open the printer's page when it's ip address is typed in.
    However the other computer, which is the same spec and has the same HP programs, cannot detect any printer on the network! I typed in the new static IP in this computer and it couldn't detect anthing, whereas the first computer is fine!
    I turned the firewall off to check if it was the problem, but unfortunately still nothing can be detected.
    I am an amateur, so Im sure I must be missing something obvious!
    Please help!
    Alex
    EDIT: Ok I have been spending countless hours again looking into what could be the issue, I have found that on the working computer the printer is connected via WSD port while on the non-working computer the printer was trying to connect through TCP/IP ports... Is this significant? If so, how to I change port type on the non working computer?
    Thanks
    Alex

  • Envy114c won\'t print, everything is correct per the network configuration sheet

    Envy114c won't print, network configuration sheet says everything is good, show connected to my wirless network, prints a test page, but won't print any documents.  It opens the action that's it being sent to the printer, the icon on the printer appears, then after a brief period it disappears and nothing happens. 

    Sorry that you are having a problem printing. 
    You can run the printer and scan doctor and check the results.

  • Help-HP Officejet 6500-Won't print Black text

    Well, I have tried all of the suggestions on this site.  My black ink gradually started fading out, so I assumed I needed a new cartridge, but that wouldn't print either, so I put back the old cartridge, which my computer said is half full.  I tried resetting the printer 2 or 3 times, tried disconnecting it with the printer both off and on at the time of disconnect, tried realigning twice, tried cleaning the vent hole on the cartridge (which doesn't look like there's even an opening, but it was working before, so it must be like that), and removing the cartridge holder and washing it in the sink.  It still does not work.  This printer is about 3 or 4 years old.  It has worked fine, but it's annoying, because every time you turn it on, it goes through this major resetting process, and it does that after about three or for print jobs, and you have to wait for it to finish.  We never could figure out how to set up the fax machine.  Does anybody have any other ideas about how to get the black ink to work?  I'm using up all my colored ink printing out these test pages!

    It sounds like you have already done quite a bit of troubleshooting for this issue.  It sounds like the next step in troubleshooting is to test replacing the printhead.  However, before going that route try looking at the troubleshooting document that I will link below.
    Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues
    * With the printer being 3-4 years old I would say the printer is most likely out of warranty.  In this case, one would have to purchase the printhead to test if this resolves the issue.  The printhead can be purchase from the HP Parts Store using the part number CN643a.  It currently sells for around $70 usd.  
    With the price of the printhead, I would advise looking into a new printer.  The reason being that one could find a new printer for not much more than this and it would come with a full factory warranty.

  • 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.

  • How do I print #12 envelopes with HP Officejet 6500 E709n Series printer?

    When I try to print 4.75" x 11" (#12 envelopes) on my HP Officejet 6500 E709n Series printer, it gives an error msg. and will not print. Is there a work around for this, or do I have to use #10 size and make it do?
    Win XP pro, MS word.

    You could try creating 'paper' the size of the #12 envelope, and try that possibly.

    Welcome to the forums Etow,
    I saw your post about the issue you are having with printing from Google Chrome. Have you tried disabling your pop up blocker to see if that will help? Also see this guide about Printing with Chrome.
    If the above does not help, try using Firefox or Internet Explorer to print.
    Have a great Friday

  • My Officejet 7410 won't print documents

    My Officejet 7410 won't print any files.  The HP downloadable troubleshooting utility found nothing wrong with my printer.  I've deleted this printer from Windows XP.  I've then shut down my computer and printer, restarted the computer, and then reinstalled my printer.
    I can print a test page just fine.  I can scan a document and save it.  But I can't print from Word, WordPad, NotePad, or any document through my browser, which is Google Chrome.
    The printer was working perfectly yesterday.  Any ideas on what is going on?
    I'm pretty desperate, I need to be able to print for my job, and by tomorrow morning I'm going to need to print again, so the clock is definitely ticking.
    UPDATE:  I removed the printer(s) from my printer list, completely uninstalled the software, and downloaded new software and reinstalled the printer.  Now it prints and scans.

    Hi,
    Do you have an option for Draft mode in the print settings / print preferences?

  • How do I get my HP Officejet Pro 8500 won't print from a program called "The Print Shop 12"?

    I can not get my printer to print from this one program I have called "The Print Shop 12." I don't get an error message, it acts like it want to print but then nothing.

    I do not know about the Print Shop program but I know that sometimes quickbooks has this issue. We have two different work around for this, 1st one  Click your start button go to your printer & devices folder and right click the 8500 printer and either RENAME it or go to Properties to Rename is to OJ8500 and then Apply and safe that change and try it.
    2nd step if that does not work, click start, go back to the printers and faxes and "add a printer" when you get to the list of manufactures click HP or Hewlett-Packard and look for the deskjet ICC printer and add it, naming it PrintShop and then you should be able to printer threw that program.

  • HP Photosmart c410 won't print magenta after I cleaned the printhead

    I recently tried printing a document but the black came out faded, even though I had a lot of black ink left. This has happened before so I figured I needed to clean out the printhead to clear up any gunk stuck inside. I rinsed the printhead out and let it air-dry overnight. The next morning, I put it back in and inserted all the ink cartridges, which I also left out overnight (not sure if that was a bad idea, since I've done it before). The printer came up with an error message, warning me that magenta won't work or something along those lines and said to change the cartridge or to click OK to continue. I clicked OK, because I had quite a bit of magenta left so I didn't want to just change it; I've never seen that message before. Magenta hasn't worked since then. I've tried re-aligning the cartridges, I've tried clicking clean printhead. When I Print Quality report, it shows black, cyan and yellow (yellow is kind of streaked though). I changed the magenta ink cartridge to see if that might help afterall and it's simply not working! Please help me out! I think I fudged my printer  

    Hi tracyhuynh,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with the Magenta not printing.  I also see that you stated that the black in was faded as well.
    Here is a document that deals with Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Photosmart Premium Fax All-in-One Printer Series (C410a, C4....
    I am also going to give you a document that deals with when the Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP Officejet 6500 All-in-On....
    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.
