Officejet 8000 issues

Guys,
Have just bought an Officejet 8000 wireless. I have successfully installed it as a network printer using the corporate basic print driver - After trying the one on the CD first.
The problem that I'm having is that in some programs it will not print and others it takes a long long time to do so. For example in Word, you send a print job to it and it'll sit there in the print queue saying spooling. Also, if it was not your default printer and you went in to File>Print and attempt to change it to that printer it sits there for ages.
I've tried it wired and wireless and nothing seems to do it... I've not tried it via USB as that is not what we require it to be.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Cheers,
Ash.

You really want to use the Full Featured software for wireless printing.  You can choose English only to cut down on the size.  I don' know what OS you are using or I would point you right there.

  • HP OfficeJet 8000 duplex problem.

    HP OfficeJet 8000 duplex problem.  Everything after page 7 prints upside down

    So all pages after the 7th page have one side correct and the other side flipped?  This sounds like an issue in the print driver for this printer.
    Have you tried uninstalling the printer and re-installing to see if the problem is corrected?
    As well, you may want to try using an alternate driver, such as the 990c driver, to see if it is a driver conflict issue.  For information on how to use an alternate driver see Shane_R's thread, found here.
    Let me know how it goes.

  • OfficeJet 8000 not showing up in terminal services connections

    I have recently been struggling with officejet 8000 creation/deletion on 2k3 terminal services. Looking through the event log, it shows that these printers are created, and then immediately deleted... I was able to map one of the printers to the server, but that's because it's on a local network. The remote users won't have that capability. The machines in question are windows 7.
    Thanks

    You would actually reset your password from the recovery partition. Reboot using cmd-R, go to the Terminal in the Utilities menu, type resetpassword and proceed.

  • Officejet 8000 - Printer says out of ink even after installing new ink cart. and new head.

    My Officejet 8000 - Printer says "out of ink even after installing new ink cart. and new print head. I have tried two new cart. and still gives me the error. A few times it will show all inks are full and print a page or two then says it is out of ink. At one point I even was able to clean the heads and align them but same thing occurs. What is wrong??

    Hi Lee_S
    Try printing a Self Test Page and see what the Cartridge status & Printhead status is like.

  • Hp Officejet 8000 Set to print Gray scale but still using color

    Hp Officejet 8000 Set to print Gray scale and use only Black ink, Draft Quality, but still using color ink. I'm replacing color ink cart more often the Black. I understand even when set to black only it will still use some color in cleaning and such. but not the amount of color it is using now. Printer has me pissed total waste of money. I'm ready to get my Xerox Phaser solid ink printer fixed. as it was super cheap on ink.

    Hello Lynn,
    Is your network router located near your desktop PC and L7590 officejet?
    If so, I would suggest that you connect the L7590 to the router with an ethernet cable(you can also leave your usb cable connected to the desktop). Then you can connect more directly (still through the network) to the L7590 with your dv7 laptop instead of connecting through the desktop.  Since your dv7 is wirelessly connected to the router, and the L7590 is also connected (wired) to the same router, the setup is much easier.
    If you want to try this, first download the software from hp.com (click here for the download page).  When you run the installation on your dv7 notebook you will be guided through the steps necessary for connecting to the printer via the network.
    Dont forget to reply and let us know how it goes!

  • Network unavailabl​e officejet 8000

    My Officejet 8000 wireless was working fine until I added a Apple Airport Express to my Airpoty/Time Capsule-based network.  I uninstalled the HP software, downloaded the installer for OS Snow Leopard (current version on MacBook), installed.  The installer recognizes the two parts of my network, both with high signal strength.  When I select the network and click Continue, I get a message "the selected Wi-Fi network (my network) is not within reach of the device." (Change Network/Retry)
    Of course it is.
    I have tried rebooting the Airport/ Time Capsule, but I cannot get by this message.  I can print by plugging into the USB, but with a corporate laptop, MacBook, Asus tablet, and desktop on the wireless, it's a big pain.
    Any help will be much appreciated!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Yup, change the channel on the Time Capsule to 11.  I believe the Express will just join whatever channel its base station is on (the Time Capsule) and you can't change it in the "Extend" mode.
    I assume both have a green light?
    If that does not work, uplug the Express from the wall, install the printer, then plug in the Express.

  • Can't Upgrade Firmware in Officejet 8000 Wireless Printer

    I've been using this HP 8000 Officejet wirelss with a single usb connection without any issues at all. I set up a two computer wireless network with this printer also being wireless several days ago. No issues at all with the setup. The printer worked fine with test prints, etc. After several hours though I found the printer would loose connection as far as being able to print. It shows up as an avaialble printer, but will not print. A complete powerdown of the printer is necessary to get it working again. This would happen about every 2 to 3 hours. So I tried connecting the printer to the router with an ethernet cable. The problem is not as frequent now, but still happens. The firmware of this printer is 0842BR. There is a firmware upgrade for this particular printer which is supposed to fix issues with network connectivity plus a few other things. I cannot get this firmware upgrade to work with either Windows XP or Windows 7. In XP I get the error message: Firmware Download Utility has encountered a problem and needs to close. In Windows 7 if I just run the file, it extracts to about 47% and then just disappears. If I try to run it in compatibility mode, it says there is a problem with the file.
    Can anyone please help me with getting the firmware upgraded, or does anyone have any suggesting on getting this printer to work reliabily on a network. I havee another Officejet Pro 8000 wireless at home on my home wireless network and it works perfectly. It has different firmware though. Thank you for your help!

    I had similar problems trying to install the firmware from two different PC's running Windows 7-32-bit and Windows 7-64 bit.
    I had an older system with a clean install of Windows XP SP3 that this Printer had never been connected to.
    I downloaded and installed the latest "Basic" Printer Driver as well as the Firmware Upgrade to that PC.
    I powered off the printer and disconnected and reconnected the AC power supply to assure a clean power up state.
    I left the USB cable disconnected until the driver installation directed me to connect it.
    I installed the "Basic" Driver for USB connectivity. I initially had connectvity problems trying to "talk to" the printer but switching to a different USB Cable solved that problem.
    After all the above, the Firmware install went as described in the HP description. 
    The printer now reports the upgraded Firmware Version of "1006BR"
    I hope my experience helps you with your firmware install.

  • Officejet 8000 pro - page allignment only partially printed

    Hello.
    I've got the following issue with my hp officejet pro 8000 A809. After reinstalling the printhead, the allignment caanot be done succesfully, it stops just at the beginning:
    By the way, the print quality is pretty good, but the printer forces me to allign the printheads each time.
    The whole procedure described in the article [HP Officejet Pro 8000 - Alignment Page Printed Before Every Print Job] has been done.
    What else can I do in this matter?

  • Officejet 8000 VS Deskjets ink quality? Which is better?

    Which uses better ink quality?  Officejet Pro 8000 or Deskjets?  
    Officejet Pro 8000 uses pigments and the Deskjets uses dye.  Pigment inks are supposed to be better than dye inks.
    However, the inks for the Officejet Pro 8000 (HP 940) are so much cheaper that I wonder about the quality.  Is it cheap due to supply and demand (for office use = lots of prints = inks purchased more often) or is it cheap because it is lower quality?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The reason that the ink cartridges are cheaper is because for the Office jet 8000, the cartridge is just an ink reservoir. the printheads are separate and would only need to be replaced if they went wrong. For Deskjets you buy the ink and new printheads in each cartridge.

  • Officejet 4636 Issues

    I have two major issues with  new Officejet 4636 e-All-In-One Printer that i bought recently. Installed full HP feature via CD provided.
    Paper Mismatch - The first plain paper always get mismatch error message all for printing and copying jobs no matter what how many time of printing and copying. The printer apparently only can recognise second paper (which i need to cancel the first job) which is very ignoring and disapointing for new printer. I have checked the paper and printer setting, all settings are correct.
    Copy Problem  - Only 10% or 20% of page is copied and printed out for the copy jobs (more than 10 times i tried). I have managed to scan the whole paper using tray and flatbed but not for copy.  Using HP Network Configuration Page as input, this is what i get (See Image Below). Another disapointment. 

    Hello @winson01 , and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand from your post that you're having issues copying, as well as paper mismatch errors. I'd be happy to help!
    I would recommend removing the ink cartridges from the printer, and perform 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 plugging the printer power into a different wall outlet.
    I'd suggest running the firmware updates for your printer as well:

  • Officejet 6500a issues

    Hi all;
    I'm having an issue with my OfficeJet 6500a printer. I am using it in wireless mode and last week the LCD and all lights were blinking telling me to power off then power on. I did that. Since then after printing about 2-3 pages, the 3rd+ page the printer drops off the network. Ping -t printeraddress shows that. The 3+ pages takes  a long time to finally print (as printer randomly comes back onto the network with a 3second + ping time.
    I've not been able to resolve this yet, I've not tried a LAN connection but have tried resetting to factory defaults via the lcd software. I am using a linksys e3000 wireless router and have tried DD-WRT as well as the stock firmware, neither work. All other wireless devices work fine.
    My questions are:
    1. Is there a way to HARD reset this printer like you can the 6500? #9 doesn't work.
    2. Anyone else seeing this issue?

    I bought the 6500 E710n-z in January 2011 and have very similar problem ever since.  But the results depend upon the document type.  Printing a single page pdf file (~10Mb) prints wirelessly within 1 minute from a Dell Dimension 4700 desktop running XP through a wireless card.  Wireless router is a Linksys E3000.  Printing an XL file with 20 lines of data takes less than a minute which is about the same for a Word file with only 2 sentences.  But when I insert a picture or web photo into either a word doc or XL, it might print or it might just transition to printing characters.  If it does print, it takes over 2 minutes.  Why would a pdf print faster even though the file is larger?
    Another strange thing is when I cancel a print job after waiting 3 minutes, it actually does not cancel it.  I can cancel a print job from the printer icon that appears after starting the print job but it finishes the page almost 30 seconds later anyway.  It seems that the desktop is not really communicating effectively to the printer.  This happened after cancelling 2 print jobs in a row, waiting for the job to cancel before trying to print the next job.
    I have run the HP Wireless Network Test Report dozens of times with everything checking out okay.  I have been through all the "help" tutorials with not success.  I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers 2 or 3 times on the desktop.  I have 3 laptops with the same problem...Vaio, Dell, Gateway.  The Vaio runs Windows 7  and the others run XP.  I have uninstalled  and reinstalled the drivers for a couple of those too but still have either very long print times or failure to print.
    This thing would make a better boat anchor than a printer for what I paid for it.  This is the last time I buy an HP or consult Consumer Reports for electronics again.  There must be some money going under the table when a printer costs this much, CR recommends it, and it has this many problems.

    I am having the same problem w/ my officejet 4500 G510n-z. To the best of my knowledge the problem started this weekend. I am experiencing the problem on my PC computer and an HP laptop both are running windows XP, both are connected by wireless access. Both have printed wirelessly for the past 4 months.
    Both have automatic windows updates turned on. I noticed that there was an update on 9-15-2010 to windows that included several updates.  The PC is able to print from Word but not from the internet, the HP laptop cannot print from any program. Please fix this problem.

  • Changing SSID on OfficeJet 8000

    I have recently moved offices and now have a different wireless network than was originally set up on the printer. I am having difficulty in changing the ssid / wireless network. Does anyone have instructions on simply changing this?

    Ooops, my mistake.  I read 8500, but it clearly says 8000.
    Do this:
    1. Press and hold the Power button, press Network button, (on some models, press the Wireless button ), two times, press the
    press the Cancel button three times, and release the Power button.
    2. Get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Driver" link at the top of this page and run it.  Make sure there is no USB cable installed and that you choose Network or Wireless when the software asks.

  • Printing Problems on HP OfficeJet 8000 Pro

    I'm having a severe problem printig PDFs on the above mentioned printer. The situation:
    I'm working a small network of three computers, 2 machines are working with Win XP, Service Pck 3, 1 machine Win 7. The printer is connected to the Win 7 computer. On one of the Win XP computers Adobe Reader 8.3 is installed. On the other one Adobe Reader 10.1. With both, the Win 7 machine (Reader 10.1) an the one XP computer with 8.3 I'm able to print PDFs. The only computer that does not print PDFs on the HP printer is the XP machine with version 10.1.
    To make it a bit more complicated, PDFs are not printed exclusively by the HP printer. All other printers, HP LaserJet, Canon MFP, do the printjob normal.
    Does anyone have a solution to that?  Sorry for my bad English, I'm not a native English speaker.
    Thanks in advance

  • My Officejet 8000 is getting a false Magenta out of ink error that's preventing it from printing.

    Even after putting a new Magenta cartridge in it still gets a false out of ink error for that cartridge.

    There are several cases where color ink would be used even if you are printing mostly black and white:
    Some ink is used to keep the printheads from clogging as they are waved around in the air while printing black.
    Color ink is typically used for printing graphics unless "Print in Grayscale" and "Black ink only" are selected.  The color drops are much smaller and give better print for graphics.
    Ink is used from all colors when a new color cartridge is installed to remove air from the supply tubes.
    Black ink is not used to print on photo paper.  The pigmented black ink is not compatible with photo paper, color ink will be used even when printing B&W on photo paper.
    The document here described how ink is used.
