Officejet Pro 6830 cannot find driver

I have a x64 E-All-in-one printer I'm trying to install on a remote desktop server. What driver can I use? I am also trying to install on a Windows Server 2003 R2 Service Pack 2 and the driver on HP's site doesn't work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Kimberly

Hi Kimberly,
While the same drivers being used, those should be installed on a server using the command line and not through a standard graphical installation.
Follow these guidelines to install the printer on a server:

Cannot connect to wireless network from a new HP Officejet Pro 6830

Just purchased a HP Officejet Pro 6830 wireless printer.
Set it up connecting my Dell PC and it initially worked.
THEN something happened.
ICON on screen on printer indicates "NO WIRELESS NETWORK FOUND"
Tried rebooting the Cable modem, then the router, then the printer and then the PC.
Still did not work.
What should I do?
Thank you for any help.

Scanning Documents From File Center from HP Officejet Pro 6830 Not Working with Twain Driver

I just purchased a HP Officejet Pro 6830 All-In-One printer and planned to use it to scan from Filecenter (Lucion Technologies) using TWAIN driver. The Twain driver for the HP shows up in Filecenter, but the scan produces a blank document. My previous All-In-One printer from Dell (Lexmark) scanned to this software with no issues. Are there any solutions to this issue? Filecenter has different scan modes A and B and Transfer type (Native, Memory and File) and I tried all 6 options and none worked.

Hi @cyclebob ,
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).
If you are unfamiliar with how the Forum's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.

Officejet Pro 6830 slow to print

My officejet pro 6830 takes over 1.5 minutes to print the first page upon initiating a print job. During this time I hear the printhead adjusting. This seems like a very long time. Is this normal?

Serial Number: [edited Serial Number by Moderator]
Product Number: E3E02A

Operating System: Windows Server 2012
I have an issue when trying to install the printer and scanner driver on Server 2012. The driver on the website for Server 2012 is 32Bit link below.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4138&lc=en&cc=za&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5390...
And the drivers that came with the printer give the following error: "This computer does not meet the following system requirement(s): The Operating System of this computer is not supported."
Have phoned HP on the support line all they do is give me a different phone number to phone.
Please someone help.

HP Officejet Pro 6830 e-All-in-One series Scanning Paper Size problem

I only use A4 paper but it seems that when I use the paper feed to scan a document to the computer, the document scans in a default Letter Size, rather than A4, thereby missing some of the information at the bottom of the page.
I would like to alter the default on the printer to ALWAYS default to A4. Can this be done? I was using the scan option on the printer screen rather than from the computer, where I would have to manually change the paper size every time.
Thank you

Welcome to the HP Community, @Splatt13 ,
I read your message about wanting your scans to default to A4 size, instead of Letter. I was playing around with the HP Scan software and saved the image below for you to see. Try opening up the software from your computer, and change the scanning options in there to whichever settings you want and that should help you scan as A4 size.
Side note: Ensure you have the Full Feature driver and software installed to access the software options: HP Officejet Pro 6830 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers
Good luck

Installing new HP Officejet Pro 6830 e-All-in-One series

We just installed the HP Officejet Pro 6830 e-All-in-One Series. The screen on the printer does nothing but spin around with the notation that it is "Checking for printer updates". Why is this happening? Like I said, we just set it up and I am turning to this form because I can't find a Support contact phone number. I've turned the printer off and then back on. We've installed, uninstalled, and re-installed. About ready to pack it up and just use our old All-in-One again. Thank you!

Officejet Pro 6830 Won't Print!!

Hi,
I have recently purchased an HP Officejet Pro 6830 and after being set up it just doesn't want to print.
I can't print a test page on it's own but with the HP Print and Scan Doctor it prints test pages.
It can't print from any Microsoft Office 2013 Pro Plus software but I can print from the standard Notepad and Acrobat Reader programs.
I have tried everything I could think of!
-Reinstalling Software + Drivers
-Restarting the Printing Spooling service
-Reintalling Microsoft Office
-Deleting other Printers and its drivers
-Updating network driver
-Adding the Printer using the standard microsoft "add a new printer" action
-Running the HP Print and Scan Doctor which found pretty much no issues.
-Disabling my anti-virus and firewall
The printer is connected wirelessly everywhere and it has been setup on other computers in the house and it works fine with them. That's why I haven't returned it!
I'm an IT guy by trade but this thing has made me desperate enough to post a question here!
Any help would be grateful.
Thank You,
Paul

Hello TedWallerstedt,
I would love to try and help you, but I do need a little information first. I am linking a few HP Support documents below that will show you how to find which operating system you are using. Also, if you're using Windows, please include whether your operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit.
Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
Which Windows operating system am I running?
Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
Also, do you have the same issue when making a copy as opposed to a print?
Thanks!

Officejet pro 6830 & windows home server 2011

Our Officejet Pro 6500 just died, and I replaced it with an Officejet Pro 6830. The printer is connected to our server, which runs Windows Home Server 2011. While installing I learned there is not a driver for Home Server 2011? I also discovered that my wife cannot print wirelessly because the printer is hardwired to the network. Really? Everything worked with the printed that died. These two issues are pretty major for us. Are there workarounds?

Your Win8 PC is likely to have come with UEFI and uses GPT hard disks, so you need to install a hotfix on the server to allow it to back up the client PCs.
There’s a separate fix for each server version:
SBS 2011 Essentials
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2781270
Windows Storage Server 2008R2 Essentials
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2781274
Windows Home Server 2011
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2781272
Install the hotfix, reboot the server, and you should be able to back up the PC, although in my experience, you also need to exclude any partitions on the PC that don't have drive letters.

Officejet Pro 6830 can't FAX

After setting up the machine for FAXing, I attempt to execute the FAX test and receive this message: "The printers FAX component has become damaged and cannot perform the FAX test. For more information, contact HP Support". I can't find anything on HP support that addresses this error message.

Hello KevinW1, Welcome to the HP Forums. I see that you are having some faxing issues. I have a document that you can run through that gives detailed instructions on Sending and Receiving Faxes with the HP Officejet 6810 and Officejet Pro 6830 e-All-in-One Printer Series. Seeing that this is your second unit of the same issue, if the troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, I would suggest contacting HP Total Care once again.

My new HP officejet pro 6830 crashes when I connect to my Asus RT-N66U router

OfficeJet Pro 6830 crashes when connected to network (Asus RT-N66U router)
I've just taken delivery of an OfficeJet Pro 6830. I've installed the ink cartridges and it seems to be able to print copies and test pages, but I can't get it to connect to my network. Here's what I've tried:
Using the Wireless Setup Wizard
I selected my network from the list and entered my WPA key. It says it's trying to connect, then the following happens:
1. Briefly (for less than a second) a screen pops up showing that it has successfully connected to the network.
2. Briefly (for less than a second) the screen flashes blue with a "power" icon and the text "B8B2A4F8" (which I presume is an error code).
3. The screen display changes to "Printer Error: There is a problem with the printer. Turn the printer Off, then On."
4. After restarting the printer, it complains that it has not been shut down properly.
Any further attempts to connect yield the same results.
Ethernet connection
If I power the printer on while it is connected via an Ethernet cable to my network, after about 10 seconds it crashes as described above (steps 2 and 3) without me doing anything at all.
I did manage to get it to connect to a WiFi hotspot on my mobile phone (and I checked for firmware updates, but unfortunately there were none available), so it seems there's something about my network that the printer doesn't like. I have no idea what that could be, however. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hello Shawnondrums,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with the printer shutting down when attempting to connect to the wireless network.
A very important step that gets easily over looked is, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Once the printer is back on, please use the on/off button to do a proper shut down and restart. This will also do a semi power reset on the printer.
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.
Thanks for your time.

Officejet Pro 6830 all in one - screen stuck on "checking for printer updates"

Windows 7 X64 install
I ran through the entire installation process and while the printer will print and will scan - the printer is hung on the message "checking for printer updates" with a red x below that message. I let it set all night and no change. The printer is setup as a wired network connection and can be seen with any of the tools. I have not errors on my system. I have uninstalled the software and reinstalled twice without success. I tried running a firmware update, but the firmware update states that I have the latest firmware rev. I even unplugged the printer and plugged it directly into the wall - n o change. Evertime I startup the printer screen, just hangs on that screen.
Please help.

I have the exact same problem with my new HP Officejet Pro 6830 printer. Please could you provide a solution else I guess it will have to go back to the shop as I only picked it up this afternoon.
Setup went ok and it even managed to print a couple of pages. But next time it started up (with wired ethernet connection) this problem occurred and happens every time ever since. (It is possible to use the printer for printing and scanning via PC, but the whole time its display is showing the "checking for printer updates" message.)
This even happens if the ethernet cable is not connected on startup (meaning the printer cannot be used as a standalone printer / copier either at the moment).
If I press the red cross (which I guess cancels the update searching) then I get a blue screen saying "B871634E" for a second or so, afterwhich I get a black screen with the message "There is a problem with the printer. Turn the printer Off, then On." and cannot do anything else. (The problem is the same after doing a printer off then on - even when following the "hard reset" procedure already mentioned.)
On checking the firmware version via the PC utility (while the printer sits there "checking for printer updates"), the PC utility app reported that the firmware was the latest version.

HP Officejet Pro 6830 print quality

I have a brand new HP Officejet Pro 6830, I set it up following the instructions and it was working fine for a few days. Then I started getting error messages about the printhead, and messages telling me that I had installed genuine recycled HP ink cartridges and did I want to buy nbew genuine ones. Now I am no longer getting error messages but the print quality is awful, half of it not printing properly. Any suggestions gratefully received. I have tried the sum of my knowledge - switching it off and back on again! Thanks.

Hi @helenincardiff,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Officejet Pro 6830 is not printing properly. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
Please take a look through the steps in this print quality guide, Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Officejet 6810 and Officejet Pro 6830 e-All-in-One Printer ....
Hope this guide resolves your issue, and thank you for posting!
