Officejet HP6500 E709n: no wireless netwoking

My Officejet HP6500 E709n stopped printing through wireless connection. Neither my desktop, nor my laptop can find it in the network.
Running network diagnostics gave me the following result:
Problem may exist with network functions of the printer. Error #201 VSA. Error #203 VSA.
After I ran set-up CD that came with the printer, I received mesage “Connected printer does not support wireless networking”.
The printer does print if connected directly through a USB cable.
my equipment:
Desktop Gateway DX4300 with Windows 7 Home Premium
Laptop Dell Inspiron 1526 with Windows Vista Home premium
Wireless Router Verizon GT704wg

Don't use MAC filtering. It causes these types of issues and is also not a good security measure. Read more about it here.

IMac OSX 10.6.8 will not detect HP Officejet 6500 E709n series wireless printer

I had my iMac OS 10.6.8 unplugged for a week and just hooked it back up today and for some reason HP Officejet 6500 E709n Series wireless printer cannot be detected. I have tried everything... AppleCare could not help... they said to install the HP software off HP's site... I did but my computer will not recognize the printer in default printers. I have tried talking to HP Support and they mentioned something about DDS corruption but do not want to pay $99 for that to most likely not be the reason. I have tried calling Verizon because AppleCare said it was a network issue and then Verizon said it was a software issue.
I even tried re-installing the printer with the USB cord plugged in the back so it could at least recognize the software, but once the printer was put back in the other room, it stopped working. It now says:
Looking for printer...
Canceling job
Printer offline.
There is also a yellow circle with a wavy line in the middle.
This has never happened before. When I first hooked this machine up, it just picked up the printer and there were no issues.
Sorry this is a little wordy but I am out of options on how to fix this... please help.
Thank you.

uhhhwords,
This article should get you operational as it covers the offline errors you are getting. Give the steps a shot and let me know if it helps:

HP Officejet 6500 E709n Series wireless reads offline

I just installed the HP Officejet 6500 E709n Series on my HP Pavilion (Vista 32 bit) and I use a Linksys router. The install appeared to be successful, but I cannot print. All my other wireless devices are online and working as expected.
I get the messages the 'printer is offline' , 'document failed to print' and 'printer is disconnected'. I've run through the HP guided solutions and the only thing that it appeared that I needed to change was the port - from 'HP_192.168.1.105... Standard TCP/IP' to 'USB001 Virtual...'. According to the guide everything else was configured properly. Any guidance would much be appreciated.
Thanks

I am having this exact same problem with our Officejet 6500 E709n. Our printer is connected to a Cradlepoint CTR500 wireless router with WPA encryption. The primary device that uses this printer is a HP Probook Windows 7 Pro 32bit laptop that is also connected wirelessly. We use Symantec Endpoint Protection for antivirus only, no firewall is installed with this Symantec product. Windows 7 Firewall is on, but I have tried shutting this off also.
The 6500 constantly either disappears from the laptop (requiring a reinstall or on occasion a reboot works) -or- sometimes the unit will print but the "HP Solution Center" does not open and says that the printer is not fully installed. On occasions where a reboot fixes it, the printer ALWAYS shows up "use printer offline" so we need to go uncheck that also. I have called HP and used the chat option 4 times now and get nowhere. Every time I am instructed to reinstall the software (on occasion I am prompted to use L2 and L3 of the uninstall utility) but it ALWAYS happens again in a few days or weeks.
I can always ping the 6500, access it with a web browser, etc. The device has a hard coded IP address. Something tells me that the HP software is searching for the printer at bootup, and removes it when it is not found. The delay the laptop experiences in connecting to the wireless network might be preventing the software from finding the printer each time, or perhaps the fact that the device hibernates or moves to another network where the printer is not present.
If there is a solution to this, PLEASE let me know. Otherwise I am more than likely going to simply replace this device as the time saved in troubleshooting this will save us money.

Hp officejet 6500 e709n series wireless network connection issues

My HP officejet 6500 e709n series all-in-one printer was working perfectly fine the last time I used it (admittedly a couple of months ago). Now it seems like the printer thinks it is connected to the wireless network, but the computer thinks it isn't. I have run the wireless network test report off the printer a couple of times. The first time it said it couldn't detect any issues. The second time it said the only possible issue is that "MAC address filtering may be enabled on your wireles router". I have NO IDEA how to turn that off. I also don't know why this would suddenly be an issue since the printer was working fine a couple of months ago and we haven't changed anything since then. I have also run the network configuration page off the printer and it seems to think everything is fine.
When I run the troubleshooter off my computer (hp pavilion running Windows 7) it says "Printer hp officejet 6500 e709n series fax cannot be contacted over the network". I am getting very frustrated. How do I fix this problem?

What router? What operating system? Have you run the Wireless Setup WIzard from the Network menu on the front of the printer? Do that.

Officejet 6500 e709n - slow wireless print & garbage then Bonjour works perfect - fix please!

Hello all! My wife recently purchased a Officejet 6500 e709n so we could finally have a wifeless printer in the house. Well, we set it up fine but we quickly ran into some printing issues. It seems that when we try to wirelessly print any file larger than 300k, the data transfer hangs and causes a long wait time until the printing finishes (if it finishes). Also this causes garbled printing.
Try as I might I could not find a fix anywhere. I tried reinstalling / updating / resetting my firewall and anti-virus and nothing.
Tonight I installed Bonjour and OMG it works - no issues at all. This leads me to think that the issue is in the HP driver or settings or something. Now my question is, how do I get the regular driver to work?!
She runs a Gateway Netbook (windows 7 Starter) and I run an Dell Studio 1747 (windows 7 home premium 64)
Install went clean on both machines

This may be a router issue. What brand/model router?

OfficeJet 6500 e709N - Scanning wireless

I have OfficeJet 6500 e709n connected to my Vista PC vai wirless. When I load document to scan on the printer, it says starting scanning and after some times gives message there is no computer connection. BTW- On my PC I do see that printer status is available.

Hi,
Please go to this link and download the scan diagnostic utility and run it. Check what the utility diagnoses and see if it fixes the issue

Wireless Printing to HP Officejet 6500 E709n

I reciently changed from Droid to Iphone 5.
Using droid mobil hot spot I could connect wirelessly to my computers and my printer HP Officejet 6500 E709n.
With the Iphone 5 hot spot I can connect to my computers but with the HP printed I can see the modem during the wireless set up
but when I enter the WPA Passphrase it will not connect. I get an error print out from the HP noting, MAC address filtering may be enabled on the wireless router (I Phone5) This can prevent you HP printer from connecting to the wireless network during setup. Temperoraly disable the MAC Address filtering on the wireless router then run wireless network setup to configure the printer.
Anyone have a fix to this.

With an iphone the native printing is built in. no set up per se except your iphone has to be on the home network which you connect to via your settings then click on wifi then it will search for your home network. If you see your home network ssid then click it then on connect. if it has a pass phrase it will request it, then it will connect.
When you are looking at a web page or an email on the iphone you need only click on the circular arrow. Select print and then select the wireless printer from the selections found. in my house I use an hp D410a All in one and a new Canon Pixma 3220 which is set up on my home network. I select the printer I want and it prints via air print .
You do not need an HP Printing app for the Apple iPhone. As long as you have set up the HP Printer or any wireless printer to your network the iPhone will print to it. No special drivers are necessary.
Hope that helped? if not post back.

HP Officejet 6500 (E709n) wireless mobile printing issues using Wi-Fi...

I have an HP Officejet 6500 (E709n series) that I can no longer print from my Android based device. I have the latest drivers installed on my Win-7 64 bit Premium edition and have flashed the most current firmware available on HP's site. There was a time not long ago where I downloaded and installed an HP app from the Android Market which allowed my mobile device to print to my wi-fi enabled and configured HP 6500. My phone crashed so I had to re-download and install apps. It seems HP ePrint Home&Biz app is the only option here and from what I've read, this app is not compatible with hP ePrint. Am I missing something or is this completely lame to discontinue support for a printer hardly a year old?
This question was solved.

Hello JayyTeee,
I do apologize for the issue you are having.
It sounds as though you are printing wirelessly from your Android phone on the same network as the printer.
This is actually different from ePrint.
The Home & Biz app is designed primarily to print on the same wireless network.
If the app is not finding the printer, I would make sure the phone and printer are on the same network.
If they are on the same network, then I would try uninstalling and reinstalling the Home & Biz app from the Android Market.

HP Officejet 6500 E709n all-in-one: how to print CD/DVD labels, on Mountain Lion OS?

My printer is an HP Officejet 6500 E709n all-in-one: how do I print CD/DVD labels, using MACBook Pro & Mountain Lion OS?
Thanks,
Jim
[Edited for Personal Information]

Hi there Jim, aka @jknud , welcome to the forums
I understand you're looking to print CD/DVD labels to your Officejet 6500 Wireless, from your Mac.
There are normally third party software programs you can download to print out whichever brand of labels you are trying to print on. If you wish to let me know which type of labels you are using, I will see if I can find their support forums for you.

Hp 6500 officejet 6500 e709n series won't print

This printer printed a few documents, but, after one week, it would not print, I just get an error message on the screen and my computer has a popup that says "document failed to print". Officejet 6500 e709n series.

What operating system? How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, Wireless LAN? Will the printer make copies without problems?
I would suggest downloading the HP Print Diagnostic Utility from HP here. If the printer is connected with a LAN connection (wired or wireless) you can also download the Network Diagnostic Utility.

Need IP location of Officejet 6500 E709n

I am trying to connect to HP Officejet 6500 E709n. My Mac indicated that I have installed the print driver but that I am not connected. One screen asks for the location. Where do I find that information. What else do I need to do to connect wirelessly to this printer?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
First, do you have a wireless router already set up and functioning?
https://h20563.www2.hp.com/p/_wireless/wireless-basics.html
The IP address for the printer is a numeric identifier used by your wireless network. It will be a number of the form ###.###.###.### (likely 192.168.1.###) that should appear on the Network Configuration page of the printer.
HP recommends using a USB cable connected to your computer before installing the HP drivers for OS X, even if you want to eventually set up the printer wirelessly.
Quoting from the HP support page:
"Sometimes the software has difficulty finding the printer over the network. If this happens, you will have a chance to do an "advanced search" for the printer using the printer's assigned IP address. You can find the IP address by printing either the Wireless Network Test report or a Network Configuration page.
If this is a first time installation and you are using the USB setup of the wireless method, the software will not find the printer on the network and you will be guided though creating a wireless connection for the printer." (Emphasis mine).

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.

HP 8600 OfficeJet continues to lose wireless connection

Hello - I just purchased this printer for the purpose of wireless printing from my iPad, iMac, iPhone, and the fact that the old HP was several years old and beginning to not work correctly. So the Windows Xp is also a factor in printing. The iPad, iMac, and iPhone did recognize the printer the first time and printed what I sent as a test. I read through the set up that is quite simple. The first time every device connected and was able to print to the printer. I even set up emails that would be used to send to the printer when I am away. This all tested out correctly. It is a secure network (entered my SSID key that was accepted) and if I have to use this printer on an unsecure network I'll take it back to the store. **** The very next day nothing worked because the printer lost the wireless connection. I went through the set up again to re-establish the connection. That worked fine. **** Even still the next day after doing all of that the printer was again not printing because it was not recognizing the wireless. I tried numerous things and as of this posting the printer will not work wirelessly or USB connected. I rebooted the router, computer (Windows xp), and printer. I went through the install again and the printer says it's connected. I do notice that the 'fan' that shows the wireless (blue light at bottom right) is off but the blue light is on. The power button light also flickers off and on. So, back to running all the set up and re-installs. I did this several times and pulled the USB plug when instructed by the set up. Still nothing. I also went through the printer to do the troubleshooting that the help suggests and the displays and reports are showing nothing that says the printer is not connected. The report actually says the wireless connection is working. None of the other devices that are wireless have ever had a problem on this router. Those work just fine. I read through this forum and didn't see anything that looked like the problem I am experiencing. What next? Thank you Daria This is the set up: Hp Officejet 8600 wireless printer Windows XP SP3 DirectTV DSL wireless router

It seems that any little glitch, power loss, no paper etc, causes a major search on how to restore my HP Officejet Pro 8600 to wireless internet connectivity. (Networked with IMac and another PC with windows)Is there a reason that this happens and therefore a standard correction?

HP Officejet 6500 E709n All In One.

HP Officejet 6500 E709n All In One. I am getting receipts for blocked calls using up an unnecessary sheet of paper.
These printouts also have a message noting: " Image on Fax Send Report is set to Off and an image of page 1 will appear here for faxes sent as Scan and Fax".
I would like to receiive receipts for fax sent but don't need a receipt for blocked faxes.
Also, on my cover sheet on faxes, I list how many pages are being sent but when looking up help info., to figure out where to put the number of pages being faxed into the printer, all I can find is info refering to the Menu Button" on printer. I CAN'T FIND A BUTTON LABELED MENU ANYWHERE ON THE PRINTER/FAX MACHINE. I have printed out the entire booklet on this printer and the first page of instructions is a picture of the printer/fax with labels typed and a line drawn to the button it is referring to. No where does it say menu button ir point to one,
Please help me with the above and then help me to help myself thru written instructions by telling where or what is the Menu Button.
Thaank you very much,

When trying to fax, I get "no answer"
and,, also this response: "Image on Fax Send Report is set mto Off" > What does this mean? Nowhere on the machine is there a button marked as Fax Send Report. What do I do? I have been unsuccessfully trying to fax a document to Mexico for day6s., I dialed "523767661779", then " 011523767661779". and get only a BUSY SIGNAL. The main number there is "52" [for the country., i.e., Mexico], with the possible prefix international number "011" preceeding it...............followed by the area code & destination number "3767661779". No luck. What to do?
