Officejet 6500a won't install wirelessly on Win 7 HP laptop.

Officejet 6500a won’t install wirelessly on Win 7 HP laptop. Does fine wirelessly on generic desktop pc. HP Support Assistant does not detect this unit. At one time, I had the laptop wired to the printer, so all the relevant data were transferred automatically.

Wireless and wired use different setups. Since you didn't remove the previous install it expects it to be wired connection.

  • TS5376 What's wrong with iTunes that it won't install on my Win 7 laptop?

    I always get Error 7 on launch.  I've tried it over and over and it still won't work.  iTunes was working perfectly until the last iTunes update and then it imploded.  I've removed and reinstalled over and over,  following the instructions perfectly.  All to no avail.  What is Apple not saying about their product that keeps it from installing correctly?

    See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The second box should cover you. If you get stuck please post the exact text of any error messages.

  • Officejet L7780 will not install wirelessly on network.

    Officejet L7780 trying to install wirelessly on Windows 7 64 bit machine.  I have an AT&T 2Wire router, and I am running MacAfee on my PC.  In the past I could install, but the printer would disappear and need to be reinstalled.  I have upgraded the firmware on the printer.  I have turned off the firewall on the PC.  I have uninstalled, deleted HP files, tried to reinstall and I always reach the point where it says the IP on my printer is not compatible with the IP on my router.  I choose to ignore or connect anyway, and nothing happens.  I have rebooted and reset the printer, I have rebooted the router, I have rebooted the PC, nothing works.  I have tried the Network doctor, but the printer is not installled, I have tried various HP upgrade files, nothing.  Thanks

    Hi TenorWebb,

  • HP OfficeJet J6410 won't install under Windows 8 & Windows 8.1

    Recently I made a posting about installing the HP OfficeJet J6410 printer on my daughter's new HP laptop.
    Please, before answering my question, I would like to point out to two earlier postings from me.
    1. The first posting.
    Around april this year (2014) I bought a new laptop for myself (a HP 15 Notebook PC, d081ed). It had Windows 8.1 pre-installed on it. At first I had problems installing the HP OfficeJet J6410 printer. I received a very usefull reply by which I was able to solve the problem.
    Read more about this posting here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Officet-J6410-won-t-install-under-Wind...
    2. The second posting.
    Almost two weeks ago a bought a second HP laptop (HP Pavilion TouchSmart 11-e000ed) voor my daughter. This laptop had Windows 8 pre-installed on it. I experienced the same problem with the printer and made a posting. Unfortunatelly that didn't resolve the problem. I received no further reactions. The problem is still unsolved.
    Read more about this posting here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/HP-OfficeJet-J6410-won-t-install-under...
    A. What have I done afterwards?
    Afterwards the previous above I first made sure I had all the updates for Windows 8 installed. I've read that in the case of the laptop of my daughter I could upgrade for free to Windows 8.1. So I did that too.
    B. Why a second posting?
    Since I upgraded to Windows 8.1. I realized my second posting wasn't quite accurate anymore. I realized it could lead to confusion since I now don't have Windows 8 installed on it anymore.
    Now here's the strange part.
    B.1.
    On my own laptop (d081ed, HP 15 Notebook PC) I have the same operating system (Windows 8.1. ) as I now have on the laptop for my daughter (11-e000ed, HP Pavillion Touchsmart)
    B.2.
    After upgrading I tried the same steps, as described in my first posting, on the laptop for my daughter.
    Strangely enough, and although we now both have a HP laptop with exactly the same operating system on it, I can not get the printer installed.
    What can be wrong? I tried updating, the scrubber, the packages to solve the C++ redistributable packages... nohting works! And worse!! It seems I somehow made the problem worse...
    Why do I think that, and are there things or error-messages that are different than the one I experienced before (with my own laptop, see point 1 above at the beginning of this posting).
    B.2.1.
    The first thing that is different:
    If I want to install the printer, and after it extracted files, checked the system and prepares it for installation, I receive the message:
    C:\users\<username of my daughter.\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS0FF0\Setup\de..
    This is different than the message (Program: C\Users\IRN\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS28Db\Setup.exe) I experienced with my own laptop (the d081ed).
    Note the difference between:
    ..Temp\7zS0FF0\Setup\de.. (<-- that is the message I get on the laptop of my daughter)
    and
    ..Temp\7zS28Db\Setup.exe (<-- that is the message I had on my own laptop)
    B.2.2.
    The second thing that is different:
    At some point I installed, after upgrading to Windows 8.1, the SP 40669 package. I can't remember having done that on my own laptop.
    B.2.3.
    On my own laptop I installed the C+++ packages for 2005, 2008 and 2010.
    On the one for my daughter I only installed the C+++ package for 2010 (KB2562063, version 10.0.30319 and 10.0.40219, but I don't think that is the problem really, correct my if I'm wrong).
    B.2.4.
    Before I upgraded to Windows 8.1. I got an error message at rebooting the system (in Dutch
    explorer.exe - Toepassingsfout
    De instructie op 0x5d2c3e01 verwijst naar geheugen op 0x00000000. Een lees- of schrijfbewerking op het geheugen is mislukt: read.
    Klik op OK als u het programma wilt beëindigen.
    And after that the message doesn't wait for your click on OK. It just flashes away very quickly. Since I got that message a couple of times, I did manage to capture it with the camcorder on my mobile phone. In that way I was able to describe you the message as exactly as here above. 
    I sometimes get the message again, and then not. So it's not consistent. It seems to me the problem there is with explorer.exe and not with the printerproblem, but I'm not sure. Couple of days later, there were new updates for Windows 8.1, which I installed, and the error-message didn't show up again the last few days.
    Last request.
    I would really appreciate some help with this. The reason I like the printer installed is because of the HP Solution Center. I'm sure my daughter would use it for scanning documents needed for her study and printing activities.
    I installed the basic printer for the time being, but only as I temporarily work-around, so she can - at least - print all of her study materials. Scanning, on the other hand, is some differtent then, but that is a known problem with the basic printer driver.
    I truly don't understand this problem. We both have an HP laptop, we both have the same operating system now (Windows 8.1) and stil .. on my laptop I managed to install the printer, and on hers not.
    Please help me.
    (p.s. I do have a HP support Pack for both laptops, and if one thinks that this problem is too complex and would redirect me to HP support ... no offense taken, from my side. But, I really would like to try to solve problem myself at first and would really appreciate your help with it. )

    Hello RNRMusicMan,
    Glad you're willing to help me out. So Sorry I couldn't send a message earlier. I had a few appointments the last few days and afterwards I had to little time to spend enought time to try to solve te problem.
    But o.k, let's continue.
    I've followed the steps you mentioned as a second option. I'll describe what I've done.
    First I tried the Hp printer install wizzard
    No succes
    Same error occured  …\setup\de.. (at the second fase of the installation program of the printersoftware)
    Restarted the system
    I used the Scrubber
    L4
    Error: uninstaller didn't work. Clicked ok
    Restart
    At restart I got the same error about something with the memory. (In dutch; 'De instructie op 0x5d2c3e01 verwijst naar geheugen op 0x00000000. Een lees- of schrijfbewerking op het geheugen is mislukt: read.' and please note that 0x5d2c3e01 was this with different numbers etc, but I guess that's just the adress in the memory where the program wants to read/write to)
    I continued with cleanboot
    Msconfig – services – hide all microsoft services – disable
    Startup – system configuration – open task manager
    On startup tab in task manager – I disabled each startup item
    Closed taskmanager
    Startup – system configuration – checked ok box
    Restarted
    Tried to install again with the OI_AIO_J6400_Full_Win_WW_140_4.exe software I downloaded from the hp website
    At ‘systeem wordt voorbereid op installatie’ I got the same error again: ‘C:\Users\Simone\AppData\Local-\Temp\7zS46SD\Setup\de..
    After this I followed the steps as described to start up again normally (that is: msconfig, enabling the services again, etc.) and that step went o.k and as aspected, so no problems there.
    After that I restarted the system again. I didn't get the message about the problem with the memory again. So I guess that must have been due to the error in the scrubber program.
    I really don't understand this. Me and my daughter both have a hp, both the same OS (windows 8.1), and on my laptop I got the printer running and hers not. What can it be? I'm guessing that there most have been something that went wrong then with either the installation with one of the windows 8 or windows 8.a upgrades, or with the upgrading from windows 8 to windows 8.1. Or is that to far fetched? But that just a question I have, trying to understand what went wrong or what could be the cause of this.
    So what now? It didn't work.
    Update (29-9-14):
    Since all the suggested solutions didn't work out I decided to start all over.
    One of the reasons I decided to do so, was the following:
    I've got an external DVD writer (Samsung, Slim External, model SE-8084D/TSWS) that I needed to use for installation of the HP J6410 CD that came with the printer, since the laptop of my daughter doesn't have a built-in DVD player.
    Now here the strange thing! When I use it on my own laptop, it starts the software on the the HP J6410 DVD flawlessly. No problems there! But, when I connect it to the laptop of my daughter, it sees the CD and I can explore the files on it. But, when I try to start HPSetup.exe on it it does ... nothing!! Now that's very stange! Me and my daughter both have a HP laptop, with the same OS. Still it functions normally on my laptop, and on for the one for my daughter it does nothing. Same with the software that you can download from the HP site. It runs on my computer, but gives errors on the one for my daugther. So I guess that was a good reason to decide to start all over again from scratch
    This is what I've done so far.
    - I made a (full) factory recovery.
    - I've installed all the updates for Windows 8.
    - After that I upgraded to Windows 8.1 again and installed all of the updates for it as well.
    - I removed the antivirus program (Norton Antivirus)
    - After that is done I tried to install the printer again.
    No success!
    But.. I'm convinced I've found out where the problem might lay.
    My daughter had c++ 2012 redistributable installed (version 11.0.50727).
    My other laptop doesn't. An even older hp laptop (with Windows Vista on it) does neither. On those laptops the printer software ran.
    On the new laptop for my daughter it doesn't.
    So.. I'm suspecting the problem does not lay in the printer software but in the c++ 2012 redistributable package.
    Another difference is that my own laptop had an Intel processor. The one for my daughter has an AMD.
    So I am convinced the problem must lay in the C++ 2012 package (maybe combined with the AMD processor? I don't know) and NOT the printer software.
    Anyone got any ideas on what to do next?
    If so, I thankfully await your answer.

  • HP Officejet 6500A won't scan.

    My HP Officejet 6500A Plus E710n (purchased late 2011) won't scan. Prints just fine. I have a MacBook Pro with OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) purchased late 2011.
    I haven't scanned anything in over a year. When I tried to scan a document a few days ago, the problem began. After researching the Apple and HP boards, I uninstalled the original HP software and installed HP's updated software/updates/drivers. I also installed Apple's HP updates, still won't scan. Keep getting the error message "Scanner reported an error. Failed to open a session on the device."
    I also deleted/re-added the printer and rebooted the MacBook umpteen times.
    I see that when I re-add the printer, it comes up as Bonjour Multifunction (see photo), yet there's no mention of Bonjour in my Activity Monitor.
    I'm stumped! Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

    Since that didn't work, try uninstalling and reinstalling the printer and the HP software.  I'll link the download below, so you don't have to search for it again.  Let me know what happens.

  • HP Officejet 6500A won't work with Windows 10

    I just upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 on my HP Pavilion and now my HP Officejet 6500A printer won't work.  Do you have any updates to solve this issue?Thanks.

    I have the same issue with my OJ 6500 (network connected).  And I've been just been sent on a wild goose chase to install the support assistant - which didn't actually resolve my issue.  When I go directly to the drivers, it recognizes my OS as Windows 10, but doesn't give me a matching driver package to download... How/when will this be resolved? Does anyone have a workaround?If I knew that my printer/scanner doesn't work anymore I certainly wouldn't have upgraded to Windows 10.  Win 8.1 wasn't perfect, but at least everything worked... Thanks for any suggestions!

  • HP Officejet 7612 won't connect wirelessly since Windows 10 update

    Update: I have the IP Address settled. I actually think it isn't a wireless problem... because the blue light is on the wireless symbol on the printer. When I get to the install network printer stage, it takes ages, and then says "unsuccessful network installation" so that is the real problem. Whether that also means the wireless connection between the printer and the computer is not established I am unclear. So hope someone can help  Thanks Selene

    Hi I am stuck. When I first set up my HP Officejet 7612 on the same computer I am using now, everything went fine. I set the printer to print wirelessly and it worked great. I didn't use the printer for a week. Then I upgraded to the free Windows 10. Was running Windows 8. The computer- laptop is only 7 months old. Today, day two of operating Windows 10, the printer won't print wirelessly. The print window came up as if I was sending a fax, and there was no HP Officejet 7612 in the drop down menu of printers, just the Fax HP Officejet 7612. Problem solving done to date:Deleted HP software  off laptop and reinstalled everything. Still on wireless connection.Re-set printer to default settings and re-set up wireless on printer using the wizzard. Still no wireless connection.Rebooted internet. Didn't help.Printed HP Network Configuration Page and noted IPv4 IP Address was different on page one to page two. Tried 'other' IP Address, system told me that definitely was wrong.Retired original IP address - no improvement. In the middle of all this trouble shooting, I realised that the initial IP address that the printer gave me at the very beginning of this problem was one digit different to what it gave me tonight when I sat down to try and fix this issue. I am about to try the this discovered IP address. But if anyone can help, I would really appreciate your assistance. I am just stabing in the dark now. Thank you for your time. Selene

  • Officejet 6500A won't print

    My officejet 6500A plus won't print often.  It says it can't communicate with my Asus pc.   I unplug it for a day or two and it starts printing!  Just turning it off doesn't help.  I need to unplug it.  Meanwhile I can't print for days!  Any suggestions?

    Hey @collage,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I would like to assist you today with resolving the communication issues you're receiving on your Windows 8.1 computer when trying to print to your HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-in-One Printer. Can I please have you run through the steps below.
    Step 1: Run Microsoft Hotfix:
    Microsoft recently released a Hotfix to resolve printing issues on the Windows 8.1 Operating System. I'm going to have you start by running the Microsoft Fix to see if this quickly resolves your intermittent print issues.
    Microsoft Support: Hotfix
    Once the website opens, select the Hotfix Download Available box. Run through the onscreen instructions to complete the Hotfix update.
    Once the Hotfix is complete, please test printing again. Should the issue persist, please proceed to the next step.
    Step 2: Add Alternate Driver:
    Even though there is a Full Feature Software and Driver download available for your printer on Windows 8.1, there is a chance that your Windows 8.1 Operating System is not agreeing with the driver for your printer. To confirm if this is the case please follow the steps below.
    Open your Start screen (either by selecting the windows start button in the bottom left hand corner or by selecting the 'Windows' button on the bottom left of your keyboard to the left of 'Ctrl'
    In the Start Screen type 'Devices and Printers'
    If the Devices and Printers option doesn't automatically populate, than click on Settings on the top right and then click on Devices and Printers.
    In the Devices and Printers folder right click on your HP Officejet 6500A Plus and left click on Printer Properties
    Left click on the Advanced tab
    Left click on New Driver
    When the New Driver window opens just hit 'next' until you see a list of Manufacturers on the left and a list of Printers on the right.
    Select HP as the Manufacturer on the left
    Select Deskjet 9800 as the printer on the right. If Deskjet 9800 doesn't appear than select 'Windows Update' on the bottom left and once the update completes you will be able to select Deskjet 9800.
    After selecting Deskjet 9800 hit next to complete the New Driver Wizard
    Under the Printer Properties window select 'Apply' but don't hit OK
    Select the General tab
    Rename your printer back to HP Officejet 6500A Plus
    Hit OK
    Lastly, right click on your HP Officejet 6500A Plus one more time and left click on Printing Preferences
    Left click on the Paper/Quality tab
    Left click on the 'Normal' dropdown for Print Quality on the bottom right and change this to Fast Normal
    Hit Apply and OK
    Try to print!
    Please let me know if either the Hotfix from Microsoft of the alternate print driver resolves your printing issues. Best of luck!

  • HP OfficeJet J6410 won't install under Windows 8

    Hello to you all,
    Two days ago, I bought a new notebook for my daughter. She needs it for her study. It's the HP Pavilion TouchSmart 11-e000ed.
    Again, just like the situation I wrote about before in this topic over here (link: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Officet-J6410-won-t-install-under-Wind... the OfficeJet Printer J6410 won't install under Windows 8.
    Now this is what I've done before the problem occured:
    - I made a username and password for her,
    - I activated Windows 8,
    - I made a recovery-point,
    - I took my external DVD writer, installed Office 2007 Home and Student for her (o.k, I know it's old, but it's very o.k - and legal copy -. for her study, used it myself as well and still do, and never any complaints about that one), and activated it,
    After that and restarting the notebook;
    - the notebeek activated USB 2.0 (it does that automatically at first use),
    - installed XPS2OneNote (to use for Office OneNote 2007),
    - installed SaveAsPDF&XPS,
    - removed Norton Internet Security (I never use it, I use something else for that purpose, but was - and still am - planning to install that on a later moment),
    - I made sure the notebook can access the server we have here at home, and made a share for her.
    After that I used the OJ_AIO_J6400_Full_Win_WW_140_408.exe file (Dutch, but I'll translate the text in English).
    From this point on I will describe as precisely as possible what happened
    - - the program extracts some files, no problems there,
    - - when the first screen appears, I pressed 'Install',
    - -  a bar appears, and after that another pop-up that says tha you must allow all HP processes. I pressed 'Next',
    - - system is controlled, and after that one must agree with the licence agreements. I checked the box, and pressed 'Next',
    - - the system is prepared for installation and - yes! - there it comes... an error message.
    The error message says:
    C:\users\<username of my daughter.\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS0FF0\Setup\de..
    Please not that this is a different message than the one I got before, as I described in my posting before, (link again: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Officet-J6410-won-t-install-under-Wind...
    Nonehteless, I assumed that, as before, the problem was with the C+++, just like before. That is why I made the following steps:
    - I used the OJ_AIO_J6400_140_408_Scrubber program, run L4 4 times.
    - I looked for the KB2565063 update, but it isn't there anymore. So, instead, I ran all updates there are until the system said that there are no updates to be found,
    - After that I took the old installation disk that came with the OfficeJet J6410 printer, and (tried to) ran hpsetup.exe. It doesn't do a thing! Literally!!
    - after that I tried to run the the OJ_AIO_J6400_Full_Win_WW_140_408.exe file again. No success. I got the same error as before (see above, the ..\7zS0FF0\Setup\de.. thing again.
    So, what to do now?
    Anyone got some helpfull tips for me? I would really appreciate your feedback / help.
    Thank you in advance,

    Hi again,
    No, it didn't work. And, the solution you offered neither.
    This is what I've done.
    After downloading the  OJ_AIO_J6400_Full_Win_WW_140_408-4.exe file, I tried to install it.
    It failed. I got an error message similar to the one before. 
    'C:\users\<username of my daughter.\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS57DB\Setup\de.'
    I tried to ran the scrubber again, and the CCCUninstaller and tried again.
    Same error message occured.
    After that I tried to look for the KB2565063 file again. Found it this time and ran the vcredist_x64 file.
    I rebooted the system, tried to run the OJ_AIO_J6400_Full_Win_WW_140_408-4.exe file again.
    Same error message ocuured.
    So, after that, I followed the steps you proposed.
    Step 2 - searching for hpoins*.dat --> no results found.
    Step 3 - searching for hpwins*.dat --> no results found.
    Step 4 - I ran the Run Dialog box and typed MSIEXEC /REGSERVER (with AND without the extra space between ('MSIEXEC /REGSERVER') in the Dialog Box and pressed Ok. 
    Got an error message in Dutch:
    'Kan het bestand MSIEXEC /REGSERVER niet vinden. Controleer of u de naam juist hebt ingevoerd en probeer het daarna opnieuw.
    Translation: 'Can't find the file MSIEXEC /REGSERVER. Check if you typed the name correctly and try again'.
    Step 5 - I ran the Run Dialog box and typed MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER (with AND without the extra space between ('MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER') in the Dialog Box and pressed Ok. 
    Got an error message in Dutch:
    'Kan het bestand MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER niet vinden. Controleer of u de naam juist hebt ingevoerd en probeer het daarna opnieuw.
    Translation: 'Can't find the file MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER. Check if you typed the name correctly and try again'.
    So... conclusion: NOTHING worked.
    My ideas for a possible solution didn't work, and neither did your ideas for a possible solution.
    Reason why I want it to work is because of the HP Solution Center. If I can not install it with the software from the original installation disk, or the software that one can download from the HP site (the OJ_AIO_J6400_Full_Win_WW_140_408-4.exe file that is), than I have no HP Solution Center. That would be a pity, for I am sure my daughter would really love the use and ease of the program, and would really use it a lot for her study.
    What's next? What else can I try to solve the problem?
    Got any more idea's or helpful hints?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Hp officejet 6500a won't scan to computer without ink cartridge installed?

    Why do I need an ink cartridge installed to scan a pdf to computer?

    Hi,
    I did mentioned this around 2 years back: Vendors (all of them) should allow scan function without ink but looks like the answer is: before it's a scanner, it IS a printer and it needs inks to perform its primary function: printing. No inks, it may stop to do anything during the warming up process.
    Regards.

  • Officejet 6500A won't scan

    "Unable to communicate" message. Updated the full driver pack and installed the Print and Scan Doctor, which OK'd the Device Manager but stopped at "Driver Check" with message: "Scan driver unable to communicate with the product." I unplugged the printer and rebooted as receommended but still the same result. I have successfully scanned in the past with occasional no-communicate messages which I solved by the usual off-on, but now it won't work. Might there be some other software, e.g., anti-virus, that's interfering? Thanks. R.

    Hooray! I changed ports, ran the Scan Doctor, and it worked! The OCR doc was really clean too.
    Why would changing ports make a difference?
    Thank you, Teri, for your help. I'm going out of town till early next week and then I'll run some more scans. Let's keep this thread open in case there are further problems. Once I see it's going well, I'll let you know and we can close this out.

  • Hp officejet 7310xi won't install on windows 7

    I have an HP Officejet 7310xi Alll-in-One printer & the full function software will not install.  I need Solution center for my scanning needs.  I have downloaded the installation numerous times & it will Not install. 

    The full featured driver provided by @Jamieson above does include Solution Center.  It sounds to me that you plugged the USB cable into your laptop before installing the drivers.  In this case Windows would install a simple print driver, not the full featured driver.  I would suggest following the procedure above.  Disconnect the USB cable between the printer and laptop before running the installer and do not connect it until instructed to by the installer.
    There are also some updates available here that should be applied after the driver is installed.

  • System Update 4 won't install on W500/Win 7. (Lenovo Support unhelpful and have stopped responding).

    Hello Forum,
    I am trying to solve a problem I have trying to install System Update 4.0 onto a Thinkpad W500 running Windows 7.
    I did have System Update 3.14 running a while ago and was told to update to 4.0 but to date I have not been able to install this. Version 3.14 was uninstalled successfully and a reboot was done before the install attempt. Version 4.0 starts to install and then comes up with an error message.
    Lenovo Support were contacted via email and the only suggestion that was given was to completely format the laptop and re-install Windows Vista from the Lenovo disks, (they did at least supply these). This I find an unacceptable solution to the problem as version 4.0 is for Windows 7 only and therefore negate this, but the major issue is I want to fix this issue, not downgrade the whole OS.
    The error message reads; "Windows cannot find 'C:\Users\*******\AppData\Local\Temp\pftD377.tmp\setup\psainst.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
    They have not contacted me since the 13th July, even though I replied to their message on the 13th, and again on the 22nd July.
    If anyone knows how I can escalate this within Lenovo I would appreciate the information.
    Apologies if this is the forum or thread for this, but as Lenovo are so unresponsive, they left me no option (and I haven't resorted to bad language and abuse hurling).
    Many thanks all.

    If you can take the pain, you could try kenningar's solution at the bottom of this page.  Might help.
