Printer error on 8500 A910 front panel flashing lights.

I'm getting a printer error on an AIO 8599 A910, with all the lights on the front panel flashing.  I restart, as prompted, but 2-3 minutes later, it has the same error message.  I just (within the last week) did the firmware update.  Any help would be appreciated.  Otherwise, I'm dumping this thing.

All:
I'm on my second 8500.  It was failing, too, and for the same reason.  I switched over to a USB connection, and the problem ended.  I also tried it again, but with hard wired ethernet vice wireless.  Again, no problem.  There seems to be a problem with the wireless circuitry used in the 8500, as well a a few of the Photsmart series printers as well.
       I could not believe that it was this simple.  I called HP, and pointed out what I'd found.  The young lady who answered the call was very nice, asked lots of questions, checked with her folks there, and then cam back and said that if you go into the Network tab of them embedded web server of the printer, then go to network protocols, the select IPv4 ONLY, the problem will stop.  I've not tried it yet, but I will.  Perhaps some of you all who are having this problem can give it a shot and come back to the forum to let us know. 
      HP does have, I'm told, a firmware fix for this due, but....  
Later,

  • Printed front panel graphics quality (Print Panel to Printer method vs. Append Front Panel Image to Report.vi)

    LV 6.02 (or 6.1)
    NT 4.0
    I have a vi that the front panel includes all the information I need to print except that it is on different pages of a tab control to conserve screen space. I was attempting to programatically cycle the value of the tab control in a For loop and invoke the Print Panel to Printer method to print 7 pages of the front panel, each with a different tab page selected. The printouts were excellent quality but beginning with the second consecutive Print Panel to Printer method the on screen front panel image of the VI being printed would become jumbled (sometimes, by the time 7 printings were done, the entire front panel image would disappe
    ar and a bitmap of the desktop or underlying windows would be visible in the VI's panel frame) yet the subsequent Print Panel to Printer methods continued to print the panel as they should appear. The visible front panel graphics would never return to normal and the only solution was to close the vi (in the dev system) or exe (compiled) and re-launch. I tried a lot of things (like hiding the panel to print before printing and showing it after printing) with no luck. It appears that two or more of these consecutive invoke methods caused the problem regardless of whether the tabs were cycling, or even if there was no tab control and much fewer controls on the panel to be printed than normal. I also had the same problem with LV 6.1.
    Finally, I was forced to switch to the report generation toolkit vi's, I cycle through the tab pages and use the Append Front Panel Image to Report.vi to append each image to the report. This is faster and control returns to my program quicker but I a
    m unhappy with the printed quality of the graphics of the front panels. They are not as high of resolution as those generated via the Print Panel to Printer method.
    Any suggestions?

    You might try changing the way the VI is printed by going to tools >> options >> printing. Try the postscript and bitmap settings.

  • How do I print a part of the front panel?

    I am interested in printing a part of my front panel as one page instead of printing the entire front panel. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks!

    Hi Nes,
    This is the second time you are posting a variation on this question.
    I was about to so NO YOU CAN'T...
    but then I thought...
    It is possible to print just parts of a front panel but it is a lot easier to do the things others have suggested.
    If you really want to print just a part of the FP you will have to do a lot of coding and the GUI will do some strange things in the process.
    I will outline the process and leave the code as an exercise for the reader.
    Using property nodes determine where on the FP the objects of interest are located.
    Again using property nodes, move the objects around on the FP so that they are grouped together and sized such they fit on a printed page.
    Using property nodes adjust the screen size origin etc so only
    the objects of interest are now visable.
    Using.....nodes print only the visable part of the screen.
    Using....nodes put everything back where is was when you started!
    Like I said, this is not easy.
    The simplest solution was suggested by BJD who said group the objects of interest on a tab page, use an invoke node to get the image and then display it on the FP of a sub-VI set to print on completion. That method will let you quickly add new interesting objects to the print out without having to change the sub-VI.

  • How to: display large error note in the front panel?

    hi guys,
    When "error out" has an error, I would like to display HUGE RED TEXT in the FRONT PANEL saying: "STOP, ERROR DETECTED!"  )
    How to do that?
    Thanks for your help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Place an indicator on the panel. Set the text to HUGE and RED, and set its value to "STOP, ERROR DETECTED!". Make it not visible. When you get an error, use the "Visible" property node to display it.
    To learn more about LabVIEW it is recommended that you go through the tutorial(s) and look over the material in the NI Developer Zone's Learning Center which provides links to other materials and other tutorials. You can also take the online courses for free.

  • Print any favorite place of front panel

    Hi LabVIEW Users.
    LabVIEW Can print front panel. But it there is option for "All front panel" or "visible area of front panel".
    One of our customer is requesting it is very convenient if user can select the area of interest and print the area.
    What do you think?
    Best reagards.

    I think there are OS utilities for that sort of thing.  I use Greenshot in Windows.

  • Error B839FEAC can't get beyond flashing lights

    I have an HP 6600 Officejet.  I am trying to get beyond the message "Printer Error"   "Please turn Printer Off and then On".
    When I press the On/Off button it only goes through a restart and will not turn all the way off.  They as it goes through the start up a blue screen pops up momentarily with the code: B839FEAC.  From my research that seems to be something to do with the WiFi card.
    I have restarted the printer about 5 times using the On/Off button and I have tried unplugging the device and then reconnecting but that does not seem to do anything either. 
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

  • Incomplete printing - OfficeJet Pro 8500 A910

    Hello, I am on Win 7 x64 with fully updated drivers for the A910. I have a problem with duplex printing.
    When I print two sides in excel, the first page comes out fine but the second one prints incomplete- rather than completing the print, the printer stops near the end, leaving a small portion of the page competely blank. It is always the second page, and I have automatic duplex turned on.
    So far that I've seen, the issue is only for duplex printing on MS excel. I've tried a few MS Word files and it prints the second side perfectly.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Front panel not aligning properly on scale print

    So I've created a custom print VI with various graphics that I'd like to print on an 11x17 sheet of paper in landscape mode, but for the life of me I can't get the thing to align properly.  I want the front panel to print centered with 0.1 - 0.2 inch margins all around, but instead of doing this, the front panel will sometimes print aligned to the left and top or other times to the right and top (with wrong margins always on two sides, sometimes three or four).  I'm using a programmatic call to the easy print function that scales the front panel to fit on this size.  However, even after making the proportions of objects on the VI 11:17 (vertical: horizontal) I still can't seem to get this thing to center properly.  Any ideas of what the problem could be?

    Ok, So I created a blank VI with a 1280 x 1978 frame decoration, yet the print preview in labview still doesn't seem to show the thing with proper alignment.  
    Looking at the picture, looks like it's aligned along the right and top of the page rather than uniformly centered.  Ideally, the frame would uniformly cover all the edges around the page in the preview.  I suspect this is an issue with LabVIEW and not my printer, as I can set my printer to borderless printing. 
    Any ideas?

  • Cannot print front panel

    I have tried to print the front panel and the block diagram.  The front panel is blank but I do get the block.  What is the issue.  Tried on another pc and both do not work.
    Dg

    A little unclear as to how you are doing it
    Are you using print option in menu>>File>>Print??
    Or, Are you using LabVIEW to programatically print/ 'append to report' your  Front panel?

  • Printing front panel of VI - no borders appear around the indicator box values

    Dear readers,
    I am using Labview 6.1 on a pentium PC with adequate memory etc. I've been trying to print out the front panel of my VI using a postscript printer and the post script printing options available in the Labview. I notice that the printed front panel doesn't show the rectangular borders that is supposed to surround the values contained in indicators and controls.
    Apart from this problem, everything looks good, such as it prints out in the way that I want...with nice white background to not waste ink.
    Could someone please advise me on what options to set up in order to print the borders around the indicator box values? Thanks very much for any help.
    I noticed that for
    an older Labview for the apple Mac, namely Labview 4 for the Mac, you can just print the window of the front panel and everything comes out wonderful....you get the borders around the indicator and control box values.
    Thanks again.
    Kenny Leong

    Hi Mike!
    Thanks for replying to my post. Greatly appreciated. Is it possible to set the colours for the indicator edges? I'll attach a screen capture of my front panel, and also a digi-pic of the print out. The printout is ok except there's no borders around the indicator values. I printed it out on a hp laserjet 6MP printer as well as on a hp 4050 printer and the printed panels have no borders around the values. I'll attach my front panel vi too. Thanks a lot Mike.

  • How to open front panel of a VI running in RT.

    Hi,
    I have an application to read the encoder position using the cRIO program. I have made an executable and this application runs as startup application whenever the controller reboots. Right now, i am accessing the VI of the startup exe through Remote Panel connection. This works fine but everytime i close the remote panel , i have to reboot the controller for the next view.
    So is there any alterntaive to open the front panel of the VI.
    I tried using VIServer but ran into errors. (i tried using front panel -open property node.did not work)
    Also i do not have any VIs stored on the controller. Only the exe is stored on the ni-rt/startup folder on the RT controller.
    Please let me know how to open this VI.
    Thanks.

    Hi Ben,
    When i close the remote front panel the first time, i am terminating the RT VI which is running on startup.
    So i had to reboot everytime to access the remote VI.  I guess that the VI (exe) should be continuosly running when the RT is started up. The remote panel only should be opened and closed. After I close the remote panel , i want a windows VI to be opened up.
    I have a Windows VI which programmatically opens connection to the RT server for opening the remote panel. The VI runs. When the user clicks Exit on this RT VI, the VI running is stopped and then another windows VI opens up. This works fine for first time. Since the RT VI is terminated, second time , if I run, it says, VI not in server memory.
    Is there a method to close the remote panel programmatically in the RT VI itself. I have a Exit button in this RT VI, so if the user clicks, Exit, the program has to be running, but the remote panel has to close. There is a method called close connection to client , but this does not work in RT , as this requires VI path.. Right now , when the remote panel RT VI is launced, to close the remote panel, i click on the 'close' button on the VI title bar. Again when the remote panel is launched, there is no error. but is there a method to close the remote panel in the server(RT VI itself).   i have attached the VI.
    Thank you.

  • Is there a page down function for the front panel?

    I have a front panel on two monitor pages. Is there a function which shows the second page when I press a button on the first page and then switches back to the first page when a loop starts over again? Is there additionally a print function which prints then only the second front panel?
    Thank you very much for answering these questions.

    Are these two separate VIs ? If so, then you can open a VI reference, then use it an Invoke Node to modify the properties for the Open FP method. This would allow you to hide, minimize, or unhide the VI.

  • Officejet Pro 8500 A910 Not Workings

    My HP printer (Officejet Pro 8500 A910) will not print from my MacBook Air--every time I try to print it says "connected to printer" and doesn't do anything else. When I run network diagnostics it says the server has failed. I've tried restarting my router. Any ideas?

    Umm. Port forwarding maybe a tought work for you. Let's try the other solutions. Did you try da Printer Setup Wizard? Make sure you have selected the appropiate drivers (Air Print Drivers instead of the original one). If not, you mac wouldn't be able to recognize your printer status properly.
    Good luck,
