  • Officejet pro 8600 Premium pick motor stalled error message

    I have the Officejet Pro 8600 Premium printer. I'm getting the message "pick motor stalled" after two and a half months of stellar use with this printer. There is no paper/print jam. I'm using the same paper I have always used. Help, is this a problem with this model?

    Also having this issue with an Officejet Pro 8600 Premium too. Bought it in May 2012 to replace an Officejet 7410. Running on a wireless network to a Win 7 32 bit laptop. Started getting the popular Pick Motor Stalled error after two months of ownership of the 8600. Have been able to get the printer to reset this error in the past with combinations of powering down, running diagnostics, and having the printer execute either a print head clean routine or a print printer status routine - that is up until this weekend. Trying to print tax returns so I can get them in the mail by the 4/15 deadline tomorrow and, of course, the Pick Motor Stalled error shows up again. Spent several hours trying usual tricks, this time nothing works. Finally, as a desperate last resort, I powered down the printer and completely removed the second printer tray assembly from the bottom of the printer. Powered back up running only the single main tray and that did the trick. Printing restored.For those that might conclude there was a paper jam on the machine and removing the second paper tray assembly fixed it, trust me. I have been in and out of that machine. There was no paper jam. There is some glitch in either the electronics or firmware, or both on these printers that is causing all the Pick Motor Stalled errors that the user community for this HP device has been dealing with.

  • Blue screen of death error on HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless - HELP

    Hi all
    I have a officejet pro 8500, used (rarely) in a home office environment, probably done no more than 1000 pages total. Turned it on today to print something, powers up ok with no errors, sounds normal, but when sending something to print I get a very odd error - the LCD display goes blue and displays a white power button symbol (in very low resolution) with the error code B8711D7C below it. This is on the screen for a couple of seconds before a white screen with "Turn power off then on again" message. So I hit the power button to turn off (which it does) but restarts automatically. After rebooting it comes up with the "improper shutdown" message and it's back to the main screen. This happens every time a print is sent. However, copying works. I guess the next thing to do is to hook another pc up to the printer or remove/re-install drivers, but I'd really like to know what this error code is...any suggestions?
    Many thanks

    I have same printer and have the same error code b8711d7c. I almost exactly the same, I hardly use the the printer, less than once a week. Did you manage to solve this ?

  • Error Message HP Officejet Pro L7590

    I'm getting an error message; "the following printheads has a problem (Black/Yellow) (K/Y) ... How do I fix this so I can print?

    ON January 23, 2012 I contacted HP Service to assist in solving my printer problem.  I was very detailed about my printers problem in description and error message given.  I was told that HP Support could fix the problem and I was sold an annual Service Program for $40.  However during the conversation I was also told the cost would be $42 and then $47.  Since I wanted this problem resolved and I was assured the problem could be resolved I accepted the program.  I was never offered the one time offer which I have found out since.
    After about 1 hour, being hung up on, having to call back, repeat the story for the second time, the problem was never resolved.  In fact I was told it was a hard ware problem.  If that was the case, then it should of been mentioned to me prior to my investment.  Then the tech wanted to sell me a new set of ink cartridges, when the message is for the BK/YE print head.  I mentioned to him that I just replaced the cartridges and they where all new.  Then I was told that I needed to purchase a new HP printer!  He is going to call me back today.  I have tried to generate a new on-line chat session, however that is for those products still in warranty.  I guess that I have just been taken advantage of and I have no intension in purchasing an HP product that I can not get support and solve or fix an issue without misrepresenting the service process.  I feel that I have been taken advantage of!

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910g printing - but never does

    Printer Model:
        HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910g
    Operating System:
        MS Windows XP, Media Center Edition, V 2002, Service Pack 3
    Connection Method:
        Wireless via AT&T U-Verse Residential Gateway
    Problem Description:
        Network printer not printing after first print job prints. Printer display panel says
        'printing...' and laptop display for printer status says "Error - Printing" (HP Officejet
        Pro 8500 A910 (Network) - User Intervention   Required).
        I have run the HP Print Diagnostic Utility 4.1 for this printer when this situation has
        occured. It finds problem with Print queue - Print jobs are stuck in the print queue
        (list of files waiting to print). Click Fix to remove them, and then restart the print
        jobs. I click Fix and basically it tells me it is unable to clear the print queue, to turn
        the printer off and on again, restart the computer and re-run the diagnostic which
        then finds no issue with the printing.
        I am only able to print after turning the printer off and back on - and only one document
        or file successfully before reverting back to same behavior. This is not a solution as this
        is a printer used for small business.
        All functions worked just fine after initial install. Not sure when stopped working as it
        is used primarily during tax season. There have been no hardware changes to my setup
        since initial install.
        Fax: Printer receives fax but never prints (Now printing... displays on printer display until
        I turn printer off and back on.)
        Please help resolve issue. What information do you need?
    This question was solved.

    I am having a very similar issue with two HP 8500 printers.  One has never worked properly.  The other one was working perfectly for about a year until Friday.  Now it does the same thing as the other one.
    Both are on wireless networks.  One is at home.  One is at the office.  
    The one at the office has now decided to quit working.
    On the front of the printer, it states that it's printing, at the same time my computer says User Intervention Required, but the job never prints and the print queue piles up.  I have to turn the printer off and turn it back on.  It cleans its printhead and goes through testing.  
    Then the restart process clears my print queue, so I have to resend whatever print jobs I was going to print.
    The printer prints for a while, and at some point decides not to again.
    I have tried various fixes including the ones suggested here.
    I opened a command prompt.  I typed "net stop spooler" and pressed enter.
    My computer says "Access is denied"
    So I move to the bypass the spooler option.  I open the printer properties, and click on the 'Print directly to the printer' radio button.  Apply and OK.
    I sent a new print job.  An error comes up on my screen "Unable to Communicate with Printer".
    After that, I tried running the HP Print Diagnostic Utility again.  I select my printer and click "Fix Printing"
    The Utility tells me that everything Checks Out Okay with the Printer.  I have it send a test page.  
    An error pops up on my computer "Unable to Communicate with the Printer".
    I click on the Control Panel, Printers, and my printer.  The box says "User Intervention Required - Offline".
    I turn the printer off and back on and now I can print....at least for a little while.  
    Please help.

  • HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One , Mac 0SX 10.6.8 Error message:' pump motor stalled

    HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One , Mac 0SX 10.6.8 Error message:' pump motor stalled' press (I don't recognise the icon!)
    What is the button & what is the solution?

    Hello, I don't have a floor model of that printer available and the manual for this printer does not mention the pump motor. But I would first try removing and reseating all the cartridges in the printer and power cycle the machine. If you are still getting that error message I would do a hard reset that involves removing the cartridges. No user settings are lost with a hard reset and it is a very common tool used to try to resolve a hardware issue with a printer.  To do a hard reset with removing the cartridges: 
    While the machine is powered on take all the cartridges out of the machine. Close cartridge access.
    Then pull the power cord out of the rear of the Product, and then unplug the cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 20 seconds.
    Plug power cord back into wall outlet and then back in the rear of the printer. It should power on by itself but after 10 seconds or so use the power button to turn machine on
    Wait for printer to go through start up process and as it recognizes the cartridges are missing (the display panel will inform of missing cartridges) put them back in their slots.

  • Paper Jam error message due to broken gear on Officejet Pro 8500 all-in-one printer

    3 year old HP Officejet Pro 8500 all-in-one printer (haven't used it much). Keeps telling "Paper Jam" although there is no paper jammed anywhere (searched meticulously with a flashlight after watching HP's tutorial videos on how to clear paper jams). I started searching on the Internet and found a couple of related videos on Youtube that pointed me in the right direction:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMFW1RRlDHEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwbF2Vs_0gQ  I could hear a clicking noise on that area of the printer each time I turned it on, so I carefully took the black cap apart that was hidding the gear, and confirmed I had the same problem as in the youtube videos above. See picture below showing the white plastic gear part that has a large crack which causes the Paper Jam error message and renders the printer unusable. After Googling a little bit, seems like a relatively common issue and wonder why such a part like that is not made of a stronger material like metal (planned obsolescence maybe?). Does anybody know if there is a way of replacing the broken gear?  (I really care for the environment and I would like to avoid having to throw the relatively new and expensive all-in-way printer away) Thanks a lot in advance for the advice!

    Hey ,  Thanks for posting in the HP Support Forum.  I do see that a cracked gear in your HP Officejet Pro 8500 All-in-One Printer is impeding all functionality.  I would like to help you with this but that particular part is not replaceable.  I recommend you reach out to our tech support team to find out what servicing options you have available.

    HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910n  ( CM758A ) Scan to email failure  Error  Server Failure  Try again Later message
    Ran HP Print & Scan Doctor - finds no problems. When sending a scanned document to the user email it has " Error Server Failure  Try again Later " message . Can run test to the scanner without any errors.  Tried to reset the printer - same result.
    Any help would be much apreciated.  AHuber

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @TheShadow42 ,
    I read about the scan to email issue you are having and I will gladly try to help you! I would suggest checking your scan to email settings from the EWS, and perhaps run the scan to email wizard again. You should also see a scan and test option in the setup.
    Here is a link to the User Manual, that has quite a bit of great info. Check out page 62 for the scan to email information.
    Good luck

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 , false paper jam error message, small plastic piece broken

    product : HP Officejet Pro 8500 All-in-One Printer - A909a
    OS : NA
    Error : (fake) paper jam on printer screen
    I made no change before the issue. It occured while printing 2 pages. The first one was ok, the second one never shows.
    First I spend many time searching after the paper, cleaning my printer etc...
    Then I looked on the internet for advices, ideas etc.
    Endly I found this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMFW1RRlDHE
    I checked my printer and I saw the exact same piece as in the video broken...
    I don't print often and I must say that I'm shoked that because if a f... piece worthing nothing all my printer and all the functions are unusable...
    I tried the support to obtain information on how to get this piece replaced. All I got is an automated message saying banalities (expired guaranty) and other links to unrelated things.
    Fortunately there was also a link to here...
    Thanks.
    ps : My feeling is that this piece is made to fail if I believe many post often seen on google (look comments on the video)... 

    The very same thing happened to my 8500 WIreless.  I was printed a two page document and only one page came out.  since that time the printer is stuck in the 'Paper Jam' state.  Call it false or fake, it is simply inaccurate.  I watched the video and located the gear that breaks.  I opened the cover, stuck screwdriver in the sensor to make it think the cover was closed and watched it cycle.  I can clearly see that the white gear on the left is cracked, in fact separated.  The cycle causes the gear to rotate so I could get a good visual on it, even inside it's black housing.    I will now begin my hunt for repair options.

  • Officejet pro 8500 wireless w/ blue screen B8808C14, B8614C64, B8806060 or B8806238 error message

    Hi -My printer, HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless Printer A909g connected via USB, was on when our lights flickered. It is plugged into a surge protector.  However, there has been one of four error messages on the touch screen whenever the printer power is on.  B8808C14, B8614C64, B8806060, or B8806238 have come up on a blue screen just after I turn it on to warm up.  No buttons respond on the printer.  Nothing prints.  The computer is running Windows Vista 64 bit and it says the printer is offline.  HP Solution Center on the computer says the printer is disconnected when it is still connected.  If you hit the on/off button the printer turns off for a moment then comes back on to one of the four error code messages listed above.  I have disconnected the printer completely, moved it, and plugged it into a power source in the kitchen and the same error message comes up and no buttons respond.  We've had the printer 18 months with no problems. 

    Hey Ceres, real quick question for you:
    Has this printer ever been set up on a network either wirelessly or wired to your router? I ask because this type of error message (Bxxxxxxx) applies most to printers which are having issues connecting to your network.
    You can find more information out here.
