Officejet pro 8000 and HP Home & Biz print app

I have an Officejet Pro 8000 wireless that, according to HP's list, is compatible with the HP Home & Biz print app for the iPad 2. However, the app does not find any printers on the wifi network. I am running Win 7 and the printer is shared and works fine with printing wirelessly from the computer. I followed the steps in the app to auto find any printer connected to the wifi, but it does not find anything at all. The way I understand the app, it allows non-eprint capable printers to print using the app. Am I missing something?

Hi,
As you have mentioned the printer is shared from Windows 7, is the printer connected to the PC by USB?
In order to use the HP ePrint Home & Biz, the printer must be connected to your router by ethernet cable and then the up should detect it.
Please make sure both the iPad and the printer connected to your network.
Follow the steps below to access the printer EWS page:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01554589&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=3762364&tmp...
Once locating the printer IP address, type it into Safari.
Can you access the page?

Officejet pro 8000 and the power and resume lights keep flashing

I have an officejet pro 8000 and the power and resume lights keep flashing. I initially had the problem when I put a new black ink cartridge in. Lately there was an error message on the computer saying pump stall error, which then culminated in a print head error. I have replaced the print head at an extra £40 I have replaced all the ink cartridges which say they are low even though I haven't been printing. Basically spent the cost of the printer again AND I STILL CANT PRINT! I'm using a Mac with snow leopard and I have reset the printer list and installed the new software and drivers. I have tried connecting with USB and Ethernet. I have filled up the paper. I have taken out the duplex and given it all a blow through. reset the print heads - basically everything the support web pages told me to do.
I have to say this is the worse printer I have ever had from HP. I always buy HP because of the quality. I have to say I feel unless this problem is solved with out me spending more money on it I will have to buy something else - and not HP ever! oh and the warranty is out by less than 2 months!

Welcome back burtf,
I am sorry to hear about the issue you are having with your Officejet 8500 showing a message for you to turn the printer off and on. I would recommend following the guide below for this issue.
I hope it helps!

Hp Officejet Pro 8600 Premium - wireless home network printing from multiple devices

We have a wireless home network with several desk tops, lap tops and tablets using the network for internet access. There is only one printer in the home, our hp Officejet pro 8600 Premium. Right now everyone who has access to the network can print. We want to prevent printing from specific devices while allowing printing from others. How do I password protect the printer so that only certain devices may print? Or alternatively, remotely prevent devices from printing?

Well this is a little tricky. You have a 'home' network so we assume you want everyone to print went they want. If you are talking about 'guest' that come over and use the printer, the best thing is to get a router with a Guest Network which isolates your home network.
That being said there is no 'password' you can put on the printer , however you can add security.
Start/Devices and Printers/ Right click on your printer and select Printer Properties , select the Security Tab. Now you can set security.

Tutorial: Print index cards without removing paper from tray for Officejet Pro 8000.

The HP Officejet Pro 8000 and Officejet Pro 8000 wireless do not have a slot for inserting index cards and envelopes.
If you are wanting to print index cards without removing the paper from the tray, follow these steps.
The steps below are for 3 x 5 index cards.
1.) Open Microsoft Word
2.) Go to the Insert tab and insert a rectangle shape
3.) Draw a rectangle of any size
4.) Right click on the rectangle and select "Format Autoshape..."
5.) Under the Size tab, enter 5" for the height and 3" for the width (make sure "Absolute" is selected)
6.) Under the Layout tab, select "Center" for the horizontal alignment
7.) Click OK
8.) Use the keyboard up arrow key to move the rectangle to the top of the page. Make sure the top edge of the rectangle touches the top edge of the document.
9.) Print this document on plain 8.5" x 11" paper
10.) When you want to print an index card, place this 8.5x11 document in the paper tray printed side face up. Then place an index card over the rectangle and align with the border of the rectangle. After you print the index card, remove the 8.5x11 paper for the next time you need to print an index card.
Note 1: This are USA instructions. If you live in the UK or other countries you may have different paper size standards.

I can't tell you how much I HATE this printer. I will never buy an HP product again. BROTHERS printers are simply and easy to use.

Officejet Pro 8000 slow to select for color prints

I just installed Officejet Pro 8000 and immediately noticed how slowly the printer is selected in printer options box when I am doing color printing. It takes about 30 sec-1 minute to finalize the selection of this as my printer for the job. I have a networked color laser jet and a networked b&w laser jet also installed that are immediately selected when I choose them from the list.
I have been testing this in Word 2007 and have noticed that when I select the officejet, the bar at the bottom of the word screen says "connecting to printer" - this seems to be the source of the slowness. I have the latest driver installed and I do not have this problem when printing regular b&w docs on this printer.
Is there a problem here or is this normal <SLOW> color print operation?
Thanks!

Thanks for the advice to contact HP tech support!
I have tried in multiple ways since November 2009 to contact HP, when I got the first (of 4) printers. The first 3 printers was subsequently replaced.
Finally in late June 2010 I got the message that there was coming an firmware update for Windows, but not for Mac's. The firmware should improve among other things the paper pick up (load paper issue) and the print-heads life.
I have applied the Windows firmware on the printer from a pc, but still seems to have load-paper issues, even using HP Bright White paper, when printing from Mac's. I have not tested the printing from a pc, but assumes that a firmware upgrade the printer, and are not specific to a certain OS.

Officejet pro 8000 printing wonky on magnetic paper

Hi
I have an Officejet Pro 8000 and have recently bought some Kodak magnetic paper for it. The paper is 650 gsm and although it prints fine it always comes out wonky. Does anyone know if its technically too thick for the printer? Or any other reason why it could be? And does anyone else use magnetic paper, maybe you could recommend another one?
Thanks

Hi,
Consumer inkjet printers do not support a Magnetic media
As you may find by the printer specification, 280 g/m2 is the maximum media weight the printer can handle for Photo Paper, it is definitely not intended to handle such weights..

Shlomi

Can I use my Officejet pro 8000 WITHOUT the duplexer

Does anyone know if there is a way to remove the duplexer unit from the back of my Officejet pro 8000 and still print (only single sided obviously)?
If I remove the duplexer, then paper spits out the back. I would like to use the printer on a 11" deep shelf. Duplexer removed would allow that...
Thanks,
Andrew

Same question here from Denmark! The prior models had a kind of latch that could be put into the whole where the duplexer goes, but there was not such a thing with in the printer box.

HP Officejet Pro 8000 Printing Blank Pages Instead Of Data And Also Reorienting Itself

Hi all
We have a wireless HP Officejet Pro 8000 in our office (but via cable, not wireless) to a network. The printer is occasionally printing blank pages instead of say a spreadsheet selected to print.
The other issue is that if you say are printing two copies of the same spreadsheet, one prints okay (say landscape) and the second copy, selected at the time of printing, prints it portrait but only part of the left hand side of it and the rest is blank. Coming out of and going back inthe file usually recitifes this. But it does it again any time it feels like it.
We did have an upgrade, where our IT guy took away our desktop boxes and replaced with smaller base units and everything is run from a main server and alsoan upgrade from Windows 2000 to Network. Problems started after this and the IT guy did update the printer driver.
Please would anyone be able to assist? Any help for this frustrating problem gratefully accepted!
Thanks,
Saxplayer67

So the issue with the 8000 printer is periodic print jobs do not come out as you are wanting them. Is that right? This is interesting, just from the point of view that generally speaking issues like this are like a light switch, they are either there or they are not - they usually don't come and go. That being said, we are going to see what we can do to resolve this. First I am going to recommend that we perform a clean installation of the printer after uninstalling it from the machine. By the way, what is the operating system you are working with - Is it Windows 2000 Network?
First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it. Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer.
In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.
Then follow this link to download the full feature software and drivers for the printer:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3762364
Install that and let me know the result!
Have a great day!

HP Officejet Pro 8000 - Press Print - wait 2 minutes and 30 seconds before printing

I have a new Officejet Pro 8000 non-networked printer. When I hit the print button, it does a very long initialization process that takes exactly 2 minutes and 30 seconds before I can print anything. I find this delay very annoying. I thought the printer must be defective so I went to Office Depot and played with one of theirs and it does the same thing. I've seen laser printers that took awhile to print, but I've never seen an inkjet printer take this long. I can't believe HP engineers thought this would be acceptable. I can't help but wonder just what the printer is doing for 2:30 minutes every time the printer is turned on and why this is necessary.
I have a friend with the printer just below it in price and function (Officejet Pro 6000) and his printer is ready to print as soon as the Print button is pushed.
Are there any other Officejet Pro 8000 owners out there that find this startup delay objectionable or am I being unreasonable?

The start-up time is my main complaint about this printer, but there is one other thing that I find very annoying. My old HP printer had an envelope slot. If I wanted to print an envelope or a check I could just insert it into this slot and quickly print it. Not this one. If I want to print an envelope, I have to remove the cover over the paper, remove all the paper, slide the side bars in and then print the envelope (or check) and then go through the whole process in reverse. It's so inconvienent that I just hand write my envelopes and checks now. Is this progress? HP needs to hire some new engineers or fire some old ones.

You can use 3rd party software such as Print n Share if you have a PC or Printopia if you have a Mac.
Or you can check HPs site and see what they have available.

HP Officejet Pro 8000 Printer series - A809 Slow Response to Word Print

Hello,
When I try to print from a Word Document the HP Officejet Pro 8000 Printer series - A809 Printer takes on average 1:24 to respond and print. When I go into the printer's settings and print a test page the Printer takes about 3 seconds to respond and print the document. The Printer has a Dual Side Printing add on and the optional paper tray.
Do you know what could cause such a long delay for the printer, especially when it only happens with word and other Microsoft Works Programs?

I would also like to add that I am on a Mac OS X Version 10.6.4 with plenty of processing speed and Memory in case that would be useful in helping me

HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 A809 printing line feed page after every job

I've searched and I have found this is a known issue - that there is supposed to be an update to fix this. I can't find this update anywhere for the HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809. It is connected to the computer via a USB cable. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, changing the print heads, doing diagnostics on it, ..., and I still get the line feed page printing after every print job. Help!

Hey there @tjkalb, I hope you are doing well
I read your post about how a "line feed" page prints after each print job from your Officejet 8000, running Windows 7. I have some steps and questions for you to try to get started. Afterwards please get back to me with the results and we will go from there if needed.
1. Does the "line feed" page print after print jobs from all programs, or are you finding it prints when you print from somewhere specifically?
2. Try a Clean Boot on your PC, restart the PC, and try printing from Notepad to see if the line feed prints.
3. Print a Print Quality Page from the printer and examine it for any defects and to see if the line feed page still prints afterwards:
source
4. Click here and try download the "Updates" for this printer: HP Officejet Pro 8000 Printer - A809a
5. Create another User Account profile on your computer and try printing from there to see if the line feed page prints from another profile.

HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Printer - A809n.says it's out of ink but has new cartridge

about 6 monhs ago the printer stopped printing stating it was a out of ink (black) after i replaced the cartridge it stopped again after about 10 days. i contacted HP and they basically told me to get a new printer. i decided to try a new cartridge again and reboot etc, etc. it still would work i use my other HP printer before looking to buy another. i read on the internet that this was a frequent problem with the HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Printer - A809n. and it might be an printhead problem. i replaced the printhead and any low or outdated ink cartridge. the printer worked perfectly for 4 weeks. now i am having the same problem. this sticks. it is leaving a bad taste . i have been a loyal HP user i feel HP has made a questionable product and is not standing behind it.

Network: limit printing access ( hp officejet pro 8000 )

Hello!
I have a HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809 connected to a LAN with approx. 100 PC's. It's not possible to attach it to my PC, because I want to share it and my PC is not running all the time.
Is there a possibility to restrict the access to the printer (MAC-filter, password) so that not everyone may print on my device? I have no access to the DHCP-Server or any other LAN facilities.
I already disabled WS Discover and WSD Print in the networking settings, but i would like to get some more security...
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Edit: Some additional information about the current situation
- Printer is accessed from 2 Win7-Notebooks and my Ubuntu 11.10 desktop
- Printer is plugged to the LAN, has a fixed IP adress and is working correctly
