Poor Color Print Quality With the HP Officejet 6500 Wireless E709n

I am experiencing horrible print quality with this printer.  Colors are way off what they appear on the screen - reds appear yellow, browns appear blue / green.  The printer has new HP ink cartridges, both basic and advanced inkjet cartridge cleaning processes have been run and the inkjet alignment process has been run.  What can be done to correct this problem?

  • MFP M476dw poor color print quality with streaking

    I bought this printer in January and only printed half a dozen or so color prints, but always has color streaks.  I have printed may 200 B&W pages and they seem OK. I ran the calibration I found in the operator interface, but doesn't make any difference. See attached original image and scan of the color print.  Yes the scan looks just like the color print.  Color cartridges all show 80% full.  B&W cartridge is 70%. scan of color print  Original ImageWhat can I do to improve this?  I really was expecting better color print quality.

  • How do I print from an iPad 3 Generation to an Officejet 6500 wireless E709n printer

    I am a new iPad user and I have a 3rd Generation iPad and want to print to an Officejet 6500 wireless E709n printer but the iPad does not recognize the printer when I try to print or visa-versa.  I am using a Ubee Modem/Router and don't know what to do. What do I have to do or what do I have to download to make the iPad and HP Printer print.

    .... No AirPrint Printers Found. And it won't Print
    Hi,
    Your printer is not in the list therefore no AirPrint available. Your printer does not support ePrint therefore you can use Home & Biz apps. Have you downloaded apps to your iPad yet ? If yes, please try:
    Pressing the iPad home button two times (a list of currently running apps should appear at the bottom of the screen).
    Press and hold the HP ePrint Home & Biz app until it starts to move around.
    Press the red 'X' on the app to end its process.
    Press the iPad home button.
    Regards.

  • Brother Printing Issues. HL-4040CN Poor color printing quality!

    Ok Gang... I'd like to get a problem fixed that I've been living with for over a year now. I posted this back almost a year ago and have been so busy.
    I have a Brother HL-4040CN laser printer that printed perfectly when I bought it. About 4-6 months after that the colors started printing faded. I thought it was due to the fact that I had moved and had messed something up when moving. But here's the rub... When I print out the DEMO file that is on the printer, it prints beautiful. But when I print out from my mac which is hooked up via Ethernet, the colors print faded. I also put a simple PDF on a flash drive and printed straight through the printer and it was fine. So I'm at a loss. I am including the link from where I inquired last time and what I had already tried. I am also contacting Brother, but the last time I talked to them, they suggested that it was a software issue since it printed the demo fine.
    Here is the link from the other forum:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2172633&tstart=0
    Any other ideas I can try would be appreciated.

    When I print out the DEMO file that is on the printer, it prints beautiful.
    That's the key to knowing it is not a hardware issue.
    This is clearly a software issue. Either the drivers have become outdated, or the setting in the page setup is not right for the source in question, or the source in question is not a high enough resolution.
    I also put a simple PDF on a flash drive and printed straight through the printer and it was fine.
    Now am I to assume that if you printed the same PDF from the computer, it doesn't print fine?

  • OfficeJet 6500 Wireless E709n - faulty yellow cartridge sensor - How do I print black only?

    Product is 5 years old.  Error message states that the Yellow Cartridge appears to be missing.  Unable to resolve following multiple Sensor and Sensor Window cleanings. Powered off/on several times including pulling plug. Attempted one new Yellow Cartridge (not a refilled used one).  Pulled all cartridges, cleaned, opened/closed the printer, lifted/lowered the gray print-head lever.  Unable to figure out how to print in only Black ink, if possible.  The cost of a new printer is about the same as Tech Support help (out of warranty).  Any thoughts on how to resolve (other than buying a new printer - unless it is time)?  Thank you in advance.
    This question was solved.

    Figured it out.  I missed cleaning some parts of the PrintHead.  Solved.

    Which version of Acrobat and Operating System are you using?
    Are you able to print any other document type like Word or Notepad?
    Please try updating HP printer drivers and Acrobat (via Help -> Check for Updates) and then check the issue.

  • Officejet 6500 wireless E709n general error 0x6100004c, what does this mean?

    Been getting general error 0X6100004C many times now when powering up the printer. Have tried powering off printer and powering back up, still same result. Seems only way to clear error is to remove all cartridges from printer and power it off then back on without the cartridges. The printer then says no cartridges in printer, but after powering printer off and re-installing cartridges, error message clears. Any ideas?  

    This article should help resolve the error you are getting:

  • Scanning to email officejet 6500 wireless e709n

    Is there a way to scan from my all-in-one straight to e-mail?

    Do you mean without a connection to a PC?  If so I do not think so.  If not, on the PC you can do the following:  open HP Solution Center, select the 6500, select Scan Picture or Scan Document as appropriate, then in the next page select "Scan Document to email" or "Scan Image to email" depending on which one you selected.  Next click Scan and a window will come up asking for the destination address and any other information to include.

  • Scanning with HP Officejet 6500 Wireless All-in-One Printer - E709n using Windows 7 Pro editition

    I have had this printer for many years and it was fully operational only for the first two years of its link to my computer.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software many times with no success.  The Printer/Scan doctor does not solve the problem  and gives an error HP Twain Scan.  The HP Scan Flow Manager also says that software components are missing The printer works fine but the scanner in the solution center always responds with a error code saying installation is incomplete, "reinstall HP Photosmart software that came with the device and try scanning again" .  The extended error information is  4,[2,0,80040154), (0,0,0),(3,56,0)] Another computer, my wife's laptop, running Windows 8 was operational until the end of May 2015, and she is also getting this error code with her computer.  This has got to be the most annoying all-in-one I have ever used.  I have a Canon all in one at work that I have used with the laptop and the all operating features are mindless...it just works.  HP software must have compatibility issues either related to operating systems updates or security software.  My computer uses AVG, the laptop uses McAffee and beither scanner operates with this printer. I need to get this scanner operational!

    Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that you cannot scan with your HP Officejet 6500 wireless printer on Windows 7 and 8. I am happy to look into this issue for you!  Some questions for you:  Are you able to make copies with the printer from the scanner glass? Loading and Copying 216 x 279 mm (8.5 x 11 inch) Plain Paper. (This way we can verify that the hardware is functional.)Do you see any error messages on the printer's display screen, or blinking lights?  In the meantime, please take a look through this scanning guide, An 'HP Cue Scanning Flow component has encountered a problem and needs to be closed' Error Displays for HP Deskjet, Officejet, and Photosmart All-in-Ones. Hope to hear from you soon!  “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

  • Apple macbook air compatibility with HP Officejet 6500 Wireless

    Two questions
    1. If I buy a new current model  MacBook Air, will it work with my HP Officejet 6500 Wireless printer?
    2. Sometimes when I power up the printer, it can take as long as five minutes to register "ready." Why the erratic time to go online?
    Thanks
    TT95

    Thanks for your swift reply to the Apple/HP compatibility question.  Trust it will work when I buy MacBook Air. The HP app available at iTunes store helped us make our older Apple IPad print compatible even though the HP 6500 Wireless is not equipped with AirPrint.
    Regarding slowness of HP 6500 to reach "Ready" stage for printing. This is a printer for home use, so it not on a network. It always eventually prints.
    Your help is much appreciated.

  • I have problems printing with a HP Officejet 6500 printer directly from my iMac. The printer itself does function well, as I can print from another PC without any problems. Does anyone have a clue?

    I have problems printing with a HP Officejet 6500 printer directly from my iMac. The printer itself does function well, as I can print from another PC without any problems. Does anyone have a clue?

    Hello:
    I must apologize  .  I should have checked here first:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP
    According to the list, there is no driver for your printer included in OS X 10.7.
    There are a couple of options:
    1.  Contact HP to see if they have a workaround.
    2. If the model of printer is not listed but your printer is a PostScript printer or PCL Laser printer, try the "Generic PostScript" or "PCL Laser printer" drivers.  Generic printer drivers may not let you access all the features of your printer.
    I have not tried #2, but some people have had success.
