Printer ink drying up. Officejet 4500 wireless

I have a Officejet 4500 Wireless printer.  I am a snowbird and vacation in Arizona.  Upon my return the printer ink has dried up.  Is there a solution to this problem?  Is there a different printer that does not let the ink dry up?

Hi @HarveyAZ
The good thing about the ink system in your Officejet 4500, is that the printhead is intergrated into the cartridge. You do not have to worry about both a printhead and the cartridge.
I can't say there is a printer that does not let the ink dry up, but here is some helpful information;
Storing and Handling Ink Cartridges
Storing Opened Cartridges and Printheads
I hope this helps.    Safe travels!

  • Why won't my officejet 4500 wireless print from microsoft word or excel?

    My new officejet 4500 wireless printer will not print from microsoft word or excel.  The paper goes through the printer but there is nothing printed on it.

    Hello.
    It seems like the black cartridge could be running out of ink. Since most of what is commonly printed from MS word and excel might be black text, this is the first reason I can figure out why your printer is not printing only from these applications.
    Check this document to see if your printer is performing good and to check if ink is coming out from all of the cartridges.

  • How to print 'booklet' on Officejet 4500 Wireless?

    The office I work in has just bought a new Officejet 4500 Wireless, but we are unsure how to print a booklet. With our old printer, the option came up once you hit print, but now it doesn't. Does anyone know how to print a booklet on this type of printer? Thanks for advice. The opertaing sytem is Windows 7 if that makes a difference.

  • Hp officejet 4500 wireless won't print from laptop. It is connected to laptop.It prints from desktop

    We have a HP Officejet 4500 wireless printer which was first installed in 2011 without any problems. We also utilize a HP LaserJet P1006 printer (not wireless) with our network. I cannot print from my laptop to either printer, but hubby's desktop has no problem. Both printers stopped working for my laptop at the same time. Everything worked perfectly until a few weeks ago when I could no longer print directly from my Dell Inspiron laptop. When I check on the connectivity of both printers to my laptop, the information tells me the printers are connected to my laptop.
    My husband has a Dell desktop (our main computer).
    I have tried everything I know to fix this problem, including shutting down the desktop, my laptop, the router, and the printers (including disconnecting the printers from the desktop with the cords that connect to the printers). I have followed all instructions on how to restart the entire system...plug the router in, plug in the printers & turn them on, and lastly restart both computers.
     I am not what one would call "computer savvy"; as a matter of fact, I am quite computer-challenged. If any of you can tell me in extremely-easy-to-understand language what to do, I would appreciate your help.

    Hi,
    Pleae download and run HP Print and Scan Doctor utility which should resolve most of printing issues.

  • Unable to print from Internet to HP Officejet 4500 Wireless printer.

    I have a new HP Pavilion g6 Notebook and an HP Officejet 4500 Wireless printer.
    The printer will print regular documents OK but will not print directly from the Internet. I get a message that says 'an error has occurred in the script on this page'.  If I save the Internet page to a document file, it prints OK.  Any idea how to fix this?

    I had the same problem.  The printer worked fine with all my documents, but would not print anything from the internet.  I tried several fixes that didn't work.  Then I realized that I was using the 64 bit connection and when I switched to the 32 bit the problem was solved.

  • HP Officejet 4500 Wireless Printing Issues with Online Maps & Financial Institutions

    I have an HP Officejet 4500 Wireless printer that I have wireless connection to my HP G72 Laptop running Windows 7 (64 bit) with Internet Explorer 9.  I am having trouble printing online maps from either Bing Maps or Google Maps.  It seems the print jobs get stuck in the print que and always show an indefinite status of “Printing” in the que but never get printed.
    I’ve tested my other applications including Office 2010 and all other jobs seem to print just fine.  I do use the “Print” button located in each of the online Map sites (Bing, Google).  This is when the jobs get stuck.
    I do also have the HP Bing Bar installed with Smart Print.  The Smart Print feature seems to work with the online maps just fine (seems I’ll just use it instead).
    Another separate printing issue is that I can never get any of my online financial transactions to print from any of my online financial institutions with either the Internet 9 print features or the HP Bing Smart Print feature.  I can never get those to print (have to wait for the PDF statements to be available).
    Any ideas as to why I can print the maps or online financial transaction?  I get no error messages either.

     Hi,

  • Officejet 4500 Wireless All-in-One Printer - G510n & Win 7. Installing since October Last Year.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A665 Laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium OS.  Initially I installed the Printer software and Drivers from the product disc, connect via USB during setup as requested and the printer would work fine, until I shut it down at the end of the day.  The next day, I get the message that the "Drivers for Officejet 4500 Wireless All-in-One Printer - G510n are missing".  This all started last October and continues.   The Network diagnostic tool doesn't see the printer, but the Print & Scan Diagnostic tool identifies it, but then the program stops responding. 
    I have installed, uninstalled, reinstalled the drivers and software from both the product disc and from hp.com at least 10 times. I have installed the basic setup as well as the full installation. the only thing I can think of is when the printer goes into power saving mode, I lose my wireless connection.

    It sounds like your printer IP address might be changing.   Have you run the HP print scan doctor?
    hp.com/go/tools  --> HP Print and Scan Doctor
    This tool will often find issues with printer driver installation.  
    I don't have a OfficeJet 4500 here, but if there is a wireless button you can push it, get the wireless menu, select IP address.   Does this match the IP Address you find when you select  "(Windows Start) --> All Programs --> HP --> HP OfficeJet 4500 --> Update IP Address" from Windows?
    If they don't match, use the IP address from the printer and type it into the Update IP Address window.  This may help...

  • Disabled scan functionality of HP Officejet 4500 Wireless with 10.9.1. HP says this printer is not supported for 10.9. Is there a solution?

    HP Officejet 4500 Wireless with 10.9.1 - Problem is not the printer, just the scanner. The scanner seems to be working but the saved files are not good images, just a bunch of scanned lines. My printer shows up under Preferences>printers and Scanners.
    I have found a clumsy work around  - accessing the scanner under Preferences>printers and Scanners allows me to produce a savable file. Problem is I loose functionality provided in the standard HP mode. Specifically I cannot change the image size. Doing that under Preferences>printers and Scanners just makes the window around the picture larger, it doesn't scale the image itself.
    My HP connection is strictly with USB, I do not use the wireless feature.
    HP tells me this printer is no longer supported for 10.9 Maverick. Is there anything else I can do to regain the scalable image size functionality with this printer/operating system combo?
    Thanks,

    I hear ya. My son and his young growing familiy live in Torrey Heights near SD and I have a daughter in FL. They are smart kids.
    Thanks again

  • I have a hp officejet 4500 wireless . How do I print from my 3GS iPhone ?

    I have a hp officejet 4500 wireless so how do I print from my 3GS iPhone?

    You can use Airprint Activator. It will see WiFi printers that are not Airprint capable. I have an iPhone 4 with iOS5.0.1 and a Canon WiFi printer that is not Airprint capable. The Airprint Activator works great. So, whenever I want to print from my iPhone, the PRINT function sees my Canon and I can use it.
    You install in on a Mac that is on your WiFi network. Make sure the Mac is connected to your network via WiFi and not via an ethernet connection. I think there's a Windows version of this floating around too which I don't have a URL.

  • Officejet 4500 Wireless i printed 25 copies of a text doc. About every 10th page partial page print

     officejet 4500 Wireless i printed 25 copies of a text doc. About every 10th page only partial page printed. Once only 1/2 anther time 2/3 and the printer continued in each case without intervention printing correct copies

    let's remove the printer thoroughly from the computer. I want you to uninstall, remove and otherwise delete any printer related folders or files on your computer. Remove them from Programs and Features, Device Manager, and Devices and Printers. The in the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Delete all the files and folders in the temp folder that allow you to delete them.
    Then restart your computer and re-download the -FULL-FEATURE- software and drivers and install the printer (link below). Do this and we will have a good starting position for the rest of the trouble shooting on this issue.

  • Driver for Officejet 4500 Wireless all-in-one will not install after upgrading to Windows 8.1

    Upgraded to Windows 8.1 on Pavilion g6.  Officejet 4500 Wireless all-in-one still prints but won't scan.  Downloaded full feature driver.  Installation quit giving error message 'file cannot be found'.  Tried 'chat' sessions with no resolution

    Hello bob5e,
    I am sorry to hear that you are unable to install successfully on your Windows 8.1 with your Officejet 4500 Wireless. I can see that the installation quits on you, giving you an error message. I am going to recommend trying a couple of things to hopefully make the installation successful.
    1. First of all, try installing by using The Printer Install Wizard for Windows which finds the correct driver for your unit and installs it.
    2. If that does not work, please try this next troubleshooting document step by step.
