Hi there,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your HP 8500 will print but no ink comes out, and I am happy to help you!
I am also glad that you had already put new ink in, and cleaned the printheads.
For further assistance, I will need to know your printer's Product/Model number. As there are multiple HP 8500 printers. To find your printer's Product/Model Number follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number.
Hope to hear from you soon, and thank you for posting!

Why does my printer work but the paper comes out blank. ink cartridges are full.

My printer sounds like it is printing but the paper comes out blank. The ink cartridges are full.

What printer model - there are about a dozen HP Photosmart Premium models including the c309a, b, c, g, h and n and the c410a,b,c,d and e.
There are a few things to check - I would suggest running up to three cycles of print head cleaning from the front panel or toolbox. Do copies also come out blank? Try the steps in this page, starting at about Solution 6. Does any ink at all print on the test page?
For some models there are firmware updates available that are only delivered through the web connection. Make sure the printer has been connected and perform any updates that are available for the firmware.

HT4356 My iPad and printer talk but the picture comes out blank...any suggestions?

My photo paper comes out blank but my iPad and printer are connected because when I select print from iPad the printer starts working. Only problem is the paper comes out blank.

Make sure your Canon is using the latest firmware.

Adobe PDF plugin 10.1.5.33 does not print correctly. Some text comes out all garbled but looks fine on screen.

I am using Adobe PDF plugin 10.1.5.33. I can open PDF files and they look fine. When I print some of the test comes out all garbled - usually labels, notes at bottom etc. If I disable plugin then when I open PDF Firefox uses Adobe PDF reader to open file and then printing is fine. I have Adobe reader 10.1.5

I am seeing the same issue with Reader 11.0.1.36. Without the Adobe plugin enabled, no issue. Probably related to the type of font being used for the garbled text. There are many font bugs related to various fonts and various Adobe programs filed at Bugzilla. Looks like Adobe has some fixing to do with their Firefox / Netscape plugin.

Hello tallcool1,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see that your Officejet printer and Email are not working together to produce a proper print, the font seems to be much smaller. Please answer the below question to allow me better ability to assist you.
What model of printer is your Officejet?
What is the Operating System installed on the computer, Windows or Mac?
What is the Email you are trying to print from, MSN, Gmail, Yahoo, etc?
Will the small font issue happen from other programs, Notepad for example?
Cheers,
JERENDS

Airport Express Airtunes Plays But No Sound Comes Out

I have klipsch promedia 5.1 speakers which have 3 inputs, pink, green, and black. I have a piece from radio shack that converts those 3 inputs to one input with a female end. So I bought a extension mini cable with both male ends. Now when I plug my mini cable to my laptop every speaker plays fine. But when I plug it into the Airport express, it shows up in iTunes and has the song playing, but no sound comes out. Any ideas?

This is the first time I have tried to connect external speakers via my airport. I have an Airport extreme base station and an booster airport with itunes. They work fine for linking my laptops and printing, but when I tried to connect my Sony Hi fi with the mini cable and ask i tunes to use multiple speakers - first it takes a long time to try to connect - then it seems to be operating but no sound through the remote airport connection. I tried plugging in my i pod earphones to the remote airport and still got no sound. The sony mini cable output works fine with my digital radio - so that's OK.
Any ideas?

Okay so i recorded a song but each part comes out as like take 1, i have 10 takes. how can i put them all together as one take, to make one song all in one take not small pieces of a song.

okay so i recorded a song but each part comes out as like take 1, i have 10 takes. how can i put them all together as one take, to make one song all in one take not small pieces of a song. like i hit record and sang the entire song but when i hit play it was in pieces not just one song like it was in ten takes. is there any way i can blend it all into one take, to make one clear song?

You're not very clear in stating your problem. Maybe it's terminology: "takes" in recording lingo (and in GB lingo) are different version of exactly the same part in a song, so you only want one of them in the end. Please tell us exactly what you did and what it is that you don't like.

Should my iPhone 1 (iOS 3.1.3) with Bluetooth 2.0 (Handset HSP?) work with wireless earbuds with BT 4.0 and the Headset (and Handsfree, A2DP, AVRCP) protocol? They pair and connect; status bar looks good. But audio always comes out the speaker. Thx.

Should my iPhone 1 (iOS 3.1.3) with Bluetooth 2.0 (Handset HSP?) work with wireless earbuds with BT 4.0 and the Headset (and Handsfree, A2DP, AVRCP) protocol? They pair and connect as expected (with a PIN); status bar looks good and shows Bluetooth active, and I even see the iPhone displays the battery levels of the wireless earbuds. But audio always comes out the speaker. (If I plug in wired headphones into the headphone jack then audio comes into the wired headphones, as expected.) I have rebooted the iPhone; I have had it forget about the wireless earbuds, and repaired and reconnected; I have reset all network settings. Thx in advance.
PS: I understand that more recent versions of iOS have a way to choose where audio output goes (speaker, headphone jack, Bluetooth device). Does this older version of iOS? I could not find an option or setting.

I've noticed this lately as well, with my iPhone 4. I couldn't confidently pin it directly on any particular iOS update, but my iPhone used to automatically connect up via Bluetooth with my Prius's handsfree feature, and now it doesn't. I work with a CE-based device at my job, with Bluetooth capability, and I used to test out that feature by having it discover my iPhone. This no longer works either.
What I have found (not really a solution, but it does work and may be a clue for Apple) is that if I simply go to the Settings app then the General -> Bluetooth screen and let it sit there, it will pair right up with my car within a few seconds. Bluetooth is always on, and always says "Now Discoverable" at the bottom of the settings screen.

HP Deskjet 5740 Printer acts like it's printing, but blank pages come out.

I have an HP Deskjet 5740 printer. It has worked until recently and now when I try to print it won't out of any applications. It acts like it's printing, but pages come out blank. When I do a test it works or when I try on my work mac it works as well. So I know it's not a printer problem or USB cord. I have tried to reinstall the driver and also to "repair disk permissions," but to no avail. Thanks for your help!

Take out one of the cartridges and make sure you pulled off the tape covering the head and pin hole. I haven't dealt with Epson printers for a while but I remember buying cartridges for one of my printers that the tape always seemed to peel off leaving the hole plugged.
If this isn't the problem then it boils down to two things: bad cartridges or printer problems. Different printers are susceptible to two different problems; dried ink in the ink lines and air bubbles. You can try cleaning again and again, using the power cleaning mode if Epson offers that. This wastes ink but you have little choice if you want to resurrect the printer. If this doesn't work try returning the cartridges for a refund and see if that works.
Three simple rules tend to keep inkjet printer problems at bay: print something at least once a week. This will keep the ink from drying out. When the printer tells you ink has run out get a new cartridge. This will reduce the chances of getting an air bubble in the line. Buy ink only from reputable vendors and don't fill your own.

Print Job Goes Through But No Pages Come Out

I am printing wirelessly from my laptop to a printer that is connected by ethernet cable to a timecapsule. It printed fine but havent used it in a while and now when I send a print job it shows in the printer queue and processes normally with no errors but nothing shows up in the printer tray.

If the printer is set for DHCP, ensure the IP address has not changed. Or better still, set a static address for the printer so that you don't have to worry about the printer queue changing.
If the address is correct, try a ping from the laptop to the printer. If you get a reply, disconnect the printers Ethernet and then try pinging again. If you still get a response then you have an addressing issue on your network.
If you don't get a reply with the Ethernet disconnected, then reconnect the Ethernet and turn off the printer. Then power cycle the TC and allow a minute for the network to stabilize. Then power the printer back on and try printing again.

When printing labels for each printed label a blank label comes out of the printer

Hello Experts
We have a CR report which is designed to prints labels for the items using a label printer. After an upgrade that we have last month the settings for this report are missing so the labels were coming out wrong.
Due to this I have had to reconfigure this report and its printing preferences and so far I have managed to make the prints fit in each label. But the problem is that if I try to print 5 copies of a label, the 5 labels come out of the printer just fine, butt after it another 5 blank labels come out of the printer too.
I have tried with all parameters in "Printing preferences", mainly in the "Material" tab but nothing works.
Thanks in advance and regards
