Officejet 7000 Sharing Problems

I have a small office network setup and the officejet 7000 is shared from a windows vista business machine (using MS network). The printer is connected to the PC with a usb connector.
I have a new laptop running windows 7 home and I am having problems setting up the printer. You can install the printer no problem and it sees the shared printer correctly and as you install the printer it comes up with no error messages but for some reason it will not print.
Sometimes when I print a test page it will send to the spooler with no error and the print job then disappears from the spooler but it does not print. Sometimes when I try and print a test page it comes up with the error can't print page.
Its all very strange and I have tried multiple re installs and checked all the windows updates and drivers and I still can't get it to print.
Any ideas... please help?

Why are you using Windows Print Sharing with this printer?  It will only share printing, not scanning nor faxing.
This is a network printer.  Plug it into your router via Ethernet cable and all computers will be able to use all of its functions.  You will have to re-run the HP software on each computer to create a network instance of the printer.

  • Officejet 7000 wide format

    Please can someone help me -before I get carted off to the funny farm!
    I recently bought a 7000 wide format and as I live in Spain, I had it sent out from Amazon to me.  No problem there - I installed it and started to print.  I was well pleased.....BUT....
    after about 20 pages, I got messy print-outs. I carried out head cleaning, but there were still smudges on the paper.
    So, following the instructions I removed the printhead and found there was ink all over it, so I carefully cleaned it and replaced it.
    Now I keep getting the error message from the toolbox telling me the printhead either isn't compatible or is damaged.
    I have tried to contact HP in Spain where the warranty is registered, but the site won't allow me access, as it says I don't
    have an HP printer.  It says the model number I entered doesn't exist either, so I can't get any information from there.
    If I have inadvertantly damaged the printhead, can I get a new one?  Someone told me that I can, but I just can't find out
    how and where.
    I can't send it back to Amazon because, owing to a shgortage of space,  I binned the original box and packaging - so
    I'm totally stuffed.
    Any help would be really appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi @Ratboy2k 
    I understand you are having some troubles with our Officejet 7000. I would be happy to help you. From your description, it sounds to me like the printer might need to be aligned. Please use the following steps to align the printer and let me know if doing so resolves the issue.
    Load plain white paper in the input tray.
    Open HP Solution Center:
    Windows XP: Click Start, click All Programs, point to HP, and then click HP Solution Center.
    Windows Vista or Windows 7: Click the Windows icon (), click All Programs, point to HP, and then click HP Solution Center.HP Solution Center opens in a separate window.
    Click Settings ().
    Under Print Settings, click Printer Toolbox. The printer Toolbox opens in a new window.
    Click the Device Services tab.
    Click Align the Printheads.
    - Source
    If this does not resolve the issue, please print a Print Quality report so we can determine if the issue is the printer itself or somehow related the driver or program you are printing from. To print a Quality report, use the steps above, but instead of choosing Align printheads, select Print a Print Quality Diagnostic Page, and then click Print Page.
    The report should look like the image below;
    Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you.

  • Officejet 7000 latest win8.1 64bit drivers

    System is running Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit  System locale - English United Kingdom
    Officejet 700  drivers:- HP Officejet Full Feature Software and Driver  2014-08-28 , Version14.8.0, 130.91M
    Printer configured as a wired network printer
    After updating to Corel's PSPX7 from X6, I found that the printer properties windows when called from the 64bit version of the software where showing "foreign characters for labels and the shortcuts were empty.
    If the printer preferences screen is called from the "Devices & Printer" pane in Control panel it shows correctly .
    Some screenshots......

    http://homepage.ntlworld.com/donald.clark/Fresh%208.1PSPX7.PNG
    Having spent several hours with Corel support on a remote access linkup we discovered that not only was PSPX7 64bit affected but all print capable  apps in win 8.1 64bit
    i.e Notepad, Wordpad, IE, Windows Journal, Windows Fax & Scan and Paint.
    It also affects the latest 64bit version of Textpad (v7.4.0)
    All 32 bit software versions are unaffected and work correctly.
    this only came to light as I use few of the in house apps of windows  as I have 64bit Office 2010 which along with PSPX6 have no problems.
    Even though these drivers were only released in August something has changed that needs to be addressed.

    Hi @don1952,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I see you are running into some software problems with the Officejet 7000 drivers and your computer running the Windows 8.1 Operating system. After some research you are not alone, it's actually the Microsoft Operating system and the language settings, if it is set to English (United Kingdom) then this will cause the issues you are experiencing. You just need to go in and change the systems language to English (United States), please follow the steps listed below:
    1. Go to Control Panel
    2. Select, Clock Language and Region
    3. Now select Change Region
    4. In the Format tab select the English (United States)
    5. In the Location tab ensure you have United states in the Current location drop down
    6. Now select Apply
    I hope this helps!
    Please let me know the outcome.

  • Officejet 7000 Wide Format printing birds

    Hello my new HP friends.
    I have an Officejet 7000 wide format printer, connected to a jetdirect box to print via NDPS. The people in the office are complaining that the printer is printing out 'little birds'. These are of course the birds on the alignment pages. Apparently it prints 2 of these per day.
    Why is the printer doing this every day? The pigeons are starting to mount up.
    Thanks,
    Phil

    Hello MerlotLady,
    The lines are indeed clearly visable and look like they are caused by the inkt not bleeding very well through the paper. In this case I would recommend using another paper. I checked the HP website for you and HP recommends using advanced paper. So any kind of HP Advanced Paper will do, either glossy or high gloss as long as it is from the HP Advanced line. A copy of the recomendation below. If this will not solved the problem, best thing to do is contacting your local HP support. Let me know if it helps.
    "Advanced photo paper
    Best for printing with HP 02, 38, 60, 110, 564, 920, or 940 inks; you get vivid, instantly dry, smudge- and water-resistant photos"

  • Officejet 7000 networking

    The Soluion and feature guide for the Officejet 7000 (page 13) states: "Enables convenient sharing— Designed to handle up to five network users."
    Does this refer to a workgroup 'shared' USB connection or to an IP over LAN connection?
    If 5 network users is a hard limitation, how can this be increased?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Sorry, just noticed your post.
    The 5 users applies to connections on an ad-hoc wireless connection only.  Connections through an infrastructure network (like a wireless router) are only limited by the router.
    If you want pre-sales help, there are better places -  like calling the shopping.hp.com folks.

  • Officejet 7000 will not feed paper

    My Officejet 7000 will not take the paper from the paper supply tray.
    When I send a document to the printer it sounds normal as if the rollers are turning but after a few seconds it stops and the button with the paper icon flashes as if there is no paper (there is paper and I've reloaded and tried reprinting several times).
    Just prior to the issue, the printer was in the process of printing a multi-page document. About half way through printing one of the pages I heard a 'clack' type sound. The next page nor any subsequent attempt would feed into the printer.
    Any idea what is wrong and if it is worth fixing?
    Thank you.

  • HP Officejet 7000 Wide Format printing black AND white lines on photos

    I am having some serious problems with my officejet 7000. I have contacted HP and have went through all the steps required (although all they could do is send me a new head and cartridges to help remedy the problem). This however has failed. Let me give a quick example of my problem. Although these 4 images are different in almost every way, they are printed on the exact same paper lol.
    <img src="http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/298​367_2181658093219_999934383_32331922_448499237_n.j​...">
    The bottom two 4x6 are on HP Premium Plus photo paper.... Not cheap, and being wasted daily, trying to get this thing to print...
    I finally had a break thru when I printed bordered on my 4x6 AND 8x10's.... The printer will work and print flawlessly on a bordered picture... This does not help me when the customers want a borderless picture though. When it is printing a borderless picture, it seems to be rushing through the process, but when it is printing bordered, it takes its time.... any ideas as to how to fix this?
     It is a Windows 7 system. Ive tried wire and wireless printing to rule out communication failures. Which also concluded it is not software related due to reinstalling software for wire and wireless.
    Sorry to rant, just getting fedup with what could be a great printer......
    One more thing... Why cant you print 11x14 on a 13x19 page?!(no option for it  )

    Sorry to hear about the issue you are facing.
    There is an updated print driver for your product which was released:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategor​y?os=4062&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=3883​...
    Check if this newer print driver helps.
    To answer your other query about selecting a different size media vs inputting different size, the printer actually does not allow it to protect it from overspray on the carriage.

  • Can't use custom paper size in OfficeJet 7000

    I"m trying to print invitations and returns on my OfficeJet 7000 Wide Format and it seems like half-sheet size paper is not supported. Anyone have experience / success / a clue? Thanks!

    Hi,
    Custom size is not supported for the printer on Windows OS:
    NOTE: Custom-sized media are only supported on Mac
    Under Paper-handling specifications > Supported custom sizes:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02858465&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&product=432...
    Try adding an alternative driver and check if that may help:
    Right click the printer icon and select Printer Properties.
    Open the Ports tab, take a note of the checked port and close this window.
    Click Add a printer and select a Local Printer.
    select the same port as used by the pritner and follow the steps.
    At the model selection screen select HP, then select HP Deskjet 6940 / 6980.
    Now try printing a custom size using the added driver and check if that work.
