Reset HP Officejet Pro for wireless after purchase of new router

I'm working with a Win 7 Pro pc a couple days a week in a small office. A couple days ago they installed a new Linksys router. The PC is set up to wirelessly print on the HP 7520 that I reconfigured, and mobile devices are ok with the new router. HOWEVER, I have tried and tried to reconfigure the older HP Officejet Pro 8000 series for wireless and no dice! I even brought it into the same room and plugged in via USB and still it won't work. The wireless "trouble" report that prints doesn't even show an IP address (which was one of the tips that was suggested by the Linksys site). I have tried removing the device (three times) so I could reinstall but that didn't even work. (This printer doesn't have a touch screen to set up, like the 7520.)
What can I do? We really need this printer for occasional "high end" printing.
Thank you,

Hi there,
I would recommend plugging in the usb cable again, and running the print and scan doctor.
Please let me know if after running through "fix printing" it gives any errors?

How do I download iLife on my MacBook Pro (for free) after purchasing a new iOS device

Hello,
I watched the most recent keynote address just like everybody else and was very happy to hear that Apple was going to provide the new iLife and iWork software for free with the purchase of a new Mac device or iOS device. So, I went and purchased a new iPhone 5S. Now how do I get my free copy of this software on my MacBook Pro (Mid-2010) running Mavericks?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Marcus

You must be running Mavericks and have purchased the iLife 11 apps, either they came with the Mac or from a purchased iLIfe 11 disk, in order to upgrade to iPhoto 9.5 for free.
The following came from this MacWorld article: What you need to know about Apple's free apps policy | Macworld
If you own iLife '11 or iWork ’09 apps (or v1 iOS apps) and you got them from the Mac App Store or iOS App Store: You should be able to download the latest versions for free by going to the app page on the Mac or iOS App Store.
If you own iLife '11 or iWork ’09 apps for the Mac but did not purchase them from the Mac App Store: You should be able to download the latest versions for free by going to the Mac App Store and tapping Update, though you may need to first visit the Purchases screen, where you might see a box called “You Have [number] Apps to Accept.” This ties apps you have on your computer to both your Apple ID and a hardware identifier on your computer, and it should allow you to download free updates to these programs from any computer associated with your Apple ID.
Some users (including yours truly) are reporting issues where the Mac App Store doesn’t recognize their copies; when they click on an iLife or iWork app’s price, they receive the following alert: “[App] is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store. Do you want to buy [app]?” Macworld spoke with an Apple spokesperson who noted that there’s currently an issue with some legacy customers, and the company is working on a fix. That fix appears to have been implemented; on Thursday, several users told Macworld that they were getting the Accept Apps prompt.
If you don’t own iLife '11 or iWork ’09 apps (or v1 iOS apps), or own older Mac versions: On the iLife side, you’ll have to buy iMovie and iPhoto at full price ($15 or $5, depending on platform). GarageBand is free for everyone to download, though the app does offer in-app purchases. Apple’s iWork apps are each $20 for the Mac, $10 on the iPhone or iPad.

Will my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless work with the new Mac OS Lion

Will my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless work with the new Mac OS Lion

My experience with upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion is that the OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless will print just fine, although it seems to take a little longer to find the printer on the network. My scan function however locks up and will not work. This really is an annoyance, though, since I have VueScan, which works fine with Lion.
Hopefully, Apple and HP will not orphan the OS native scanning feature for HP multifunction printers.

Windows 8 driver cannot find HP Officejet Pro L7590 ethernet printer on my new router

I'm changing to a new router and had to change the IP address of my ethernet Officejet Pro L7590 from fixed assigned 192.168.1.7 into fixed assigned 192.168.2.168 (my new provider provided router doesn't support the 192.168.1.xx range). At installation my PC Driver cannot find my HP Officejet Pro L7590 ethernet printer, both not by it's search function, nor by giving the specific new IP address. Browsing and login into the printer by adressing the new Static IP address works however fine: de printer is well attached. What do I wrong with at PC driver installation, any suggestions to have the printer coupled to the PC driver?
Update: Connecting the printer directly to the router instead of via a switch solved the problem!

The Officejet Pro L7590 unfortunately will not be updated to support AirPrint. Check out my [FAQ|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2658560&tstart=0] thread for some other options.
Just trying to help.

Can't connect remote PC with Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac after using a new router

I'm using a Windows 8.1 computer as a HTPC to download files and I set it logins automatically and I just need to press the power button then use RD for Mac to control the HTPC without extra monitor, keyboard...
Here is the problem: After I took my Mac and HTPC to another place, I can't connect it with new router now. (I change the PC name to new local IP, nothing else changed)
It shows on screen that:
Unable to connect to remote PC. Please verify Remote Desktop is enabled, the remote PC is turned on and available on the network, and then try again.
I can use shared disk drive of the HTPC on my Mac so I know the connection works.
Thanks!

Hi,

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless A909g, CB023A, how to perform full-reset

I own this printer since December 2009, during the first 15 months I had several problems/defects and also repairs and excange units. The problems continue on and in September 2011, in October 2011 and in November 2011 I got excange devices after repair attempts (one device was delivered without any function). The last device worked with one (?) (minor resp. accepted) problem until today resp. June 2014. ...this is the previous history ---> ---> I need sequence to perform full-reset on HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless A909g ---> Please send procedure/sequence how to perform a full-reset on this printer - not hard reset nor semi-reset: full-reset !!! Please send this information without unnecessary questions about my problems: My only problem is to own such printer!

Hello AlexBW,
I received your private message and I thank you for writing me back.
One other step that I think may assist us would be to please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Once you have the unit connected directly to a wall outlet, follow the instructions that I provided in the private message.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thank you once again for your time. It has been a pleasure working with you.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless (Vista x64) Will not print after Sleep Mode

Hello,
As the title says the printer does not print after coming back from sleep mode. Before entering sleep mode the printer works fine and is responsive. After coming back from sleep mode the printer is still responsive (buttons on the touch screen can be pressed) but unfortunately does not accept any print jobs. Currently, I restart the printer to get it to print. It is connected wirelessly through WRT610N Linksys Router. Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
-Artem Durytskyy

I have been having the same problem all during my warranty period. But no one ever told me it was a firmware problem until two days ago connected to the sleep mode for the wireless one. Supposedly, they have downloads for wire ones now online which I found for 909a and 909b, but not 909g which is wireless. Now I am out of warranty and they won't replace it. I have a long history with tech support since early 2010. Right now, they are sending me a power adapter to try, said to turn off sleep mode (which I dont' know how). Then I told them I found online a firmware download, Apr 2010 to update firmware. My current version is different that the one listed for the download. So, I'm going back to TS to have them fool with it. Has anything worked for you?

Firmware update for HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 wireless to fix load paper issue - as for the 8500?

Is there any hope that that soon will be a firmware update to fix the issues loading paper and the printheads for the HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 wireless printer?
A month or two ago there came a firmware update to the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 wireless, which has some of the same issues,
and allegedly should have the much of the same load-mechanism as the 8000 printer.
It would be great, as we are on the fourth (4) replacement of this HP 8000 printer. For example, it would be great if we could use normal (80g) paper and not has to use (HP) 90g paper, as this prevents us from using the duplexer and only print on one side.

Thanks for the advice to contact HP tech support!
I have tried in multiple ways since November 2009 to contact HP, when I got the first (of 4) printers. The first 3 printers was subsequently replaced.
Finally in late June 2010 I got the message that there was coming an firmware update for Windows, but not for Mac's. The firmware should improve among other things the paper pick up (load paper issue) and the print-heads life.
I have applied the Windows firmware on the printer from a pc, but still seems to have load-paper issues, even using HP Bright White paper, when printing from Mac's. I have not tested the printing from a pc, but assumes that a firmware upgrade the printer, and are not specific to a certain OS.

Printing to hp officejet pro 8000 wireless

After my 10-year-old DeskJet was incinerated by lightning, I purchased an HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 Wireless. Now I cannot print CD inserts; the driver says the printer is offline. However, I can then successfully print a Word document, for example, without making any changes.

Hi there,
On the IOS system, if you have e-print installed you have two options for printing wirelessly - through e-Print or AirPrint.
To print from AirPrint (which comes pre-installed on apple devices) , you take the route that you have outlined - if no wireless printer is found then there has been a problem during setup that you should be able to fix with the help of the AirPrint troubleshhoting steps below:
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-topics/mobile-printing/mobile-print-help-iphone-ipad.html
If the e-Print app is installed you also have the option to print using the e-Print app. The route to printing here involves opening the appa nd selecting the content that you want to print. You'll still need to be able to find your wireless printer so if you have any issues, the troubleshooting guide below shoudl help:

Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Has Both Power and Resume Buttons Blinking

Using Vista operating system with my Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless. The Power button and the Resume button are blinking at the same time. I went through HP's recommended fixes step by step and it still has the same problem. I've done all the resets, etc., etc. and I searched High and Low for a paper jam which these two blinking lights apparently indicate but could not locate even a tiny little piece of paper jammed.
Any help is appreciated and by the way, this printer has not been used a ton. Simple average use and well below the monthly use rating.
Thanks, Rick

I also have been having this exact same problem for over two years now but never found a solution. I think I have only printed out about 50 pages since I purchased the printer new in 2010 and at one point it just started doing this. I can reset the printer by unplugging it and it will work temporarily; sometimes long enough to print out 2 or 3 pages but always goes back to the same faulting state within minutes. This happen whether or not it's connected to a network, USB, or nothing at all. I also have the newest firmware and purchasing new ink cartridges about 15 months ago never fixed it. (They are nearly empty now and I don't think I have printed more than about 15 pages!) Does anyone from HP know why the printer keeps faulting like this? I print so seldom that it's a shame for me to have to have to buy a new printer just so that I can print out the odd few pages every few months, and this one was expensive back when I purchased it and it's practically useless when it keeps faulting like this.

Printing problem - HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One Printer, Red color fads on 4th copy

I have an HP HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One Printer, and am trying to print 75 copies of a program for our event. After the first 5-6 pages the RED in my program starts to turn magenta. I have brand new HP ink, and am printing on HP Color Injet Paper. I have renectly replaced the Black/Yellow printhead (at least 6 months ago). At first when I cleaned the printheads, I could print 2 or 3 pages showing my RED color. Then turns back to magenta. When I received the test patterns after cleaning the print heads they are all perfect with no lines.
What is going on and how can I fix it?

Hi TM1997,
I understand you have an Officejet 8500 Wireless that is not printing red properly, it keeps turning to magenta. I'm sorry to hear this, but I will definitely do my best to help you!
As I'm sure you saw, when replacing the black and yellow printhead, that there are two printheads in the Officejet 8500 and the second one controls the magenta and cyan. I would suggest that you first have a look through this Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues document. You can also manually clean your printhead with the steps in this 'The Following Printhead Appears to be Missing or Damaged' or 'The Following Printhead has a Problem... document.
Hope this helps, have a great day!!

HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Printer - A809n.says it's out of ink but has new cartridge

about 6 monhs ago the printer stopped printing stating it was a out of ink (black) after i replaced the cartridge it stopped again after about 10 days. i contacted HP and they basically told me to get a new printer. i decided to try a new cartridge again and reboot etc, etc. it still would work i use my other HP printer before looking to buy another. i read on the internet that this was a frequent problem with the HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Printer - A809n. and it might be an printhead problem. i replaced the printhead and any low or outdated ink cartridge. the printer worked perfectly for 4 weeks. now i am having the same problem. this sticks. it is leaving a bad taste . i have been a loyal HP user i feel HP has made a questionable product and is not standing behind it.

Multiple problems: OfficeJet Pro 8000 Wireless

We bought an HP OfficeJet Pro Wireless for our two Macs and it's been a nightmare. I've searched help guides and forums and am hoping you can help me fix the problems.
It takes 10 minutes to start up the printer each time. There is a lot whirring and noises coming.
Once it's finally, finally on it always can't print. I then usually have to reinstall the software from the CD using the USB cable and not wireless to get it to work, which it will then do exactly one time before I next need to use the printer, turn it on and have it refuse to print.
I have tried every configuration I can think of to no avail.
Currently I have just turned it on and I have a message saying that the printer is low on ink and cannot print. I have used this printer exactly 5 times and there is no way it's out of ink.
I apologise if I sound petulant, I've just never had such problems with any equipment and am worried we've made a very bad investment. I would truly appreciate any advice anyone can give.
Our set up is:
Mac laptop and desktop, both running Leopard
Wireless connection via BT Homehub router
OfficeJet Pro 8000 Wireless
Thank you very much! -Rachel

I understand your frustration. Here are a few tips:
1. Don't turn your printer off. If you HAVE to turn it off, don't do it with a power strip or by unplugging the cord. Your printer will use ink (and quite a bit of it) to start up every time you turn it on. This is especially true if the printer did not have power during its time powered-off. You will bleed your ink cartridges dry very quickly this way. All the whirring you hear is the sound of sucking ink through the nozzles to clean them.
2. Set a static IP address for your printer. Pick a number outside the range 192.168.1.64 to 192.168.1.237 that your HomeHub uses to issue dynamic IP addresses. 192.168.1.50 is a nice round number. Here is how you do it:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- Click the Manual IP button and enter:
192.168.1.50 for the IP address
255.255.255.0 for the subnet
Leave the gateway and DNS blank
- Click 'Apply'
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
Delete and re-add the printer in the print queue:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Select the printer in question and click the minus sign at the bottom of the list
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
If this does not work, do the same thing, only instead of the second step, right (control) click the print queue area and select Reset Printing System.

HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless, Mac OS 10.7.2 can't get it set up to run wireless

I have an iMac, OS 10.7.2, Airport Extreme router, and an HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless. I recently replaced my router with an Airport Extreme. My printer setup CD is for OS 10.4 or 10.5. I'm trying to setup the 8000 wirelessly but without much luck. As I understand it, the HP 8000 setup is now included in OS 10.7. I followed some of the items from another post on this topic with OS 10.6. Somehow I can't seem to get to the place were the printer install asks me to choose a network. I have updated all of the software, setup a printer connected with a USB cable.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I figured this out (with some help from the Print Doc on "Is there driver for Deskjet 3050 for Mac OSX 10.7). Once I stopped thinking like the Mac OS 10.6 approach with an hp utility things were easy.
- delete any previously set up printers
- scrub the old hp software
- remove the usb cable from the printer if you have one connected
- reset the printer network to hpsetup (press power button, network button 2x, cancel 3x, release power)
- print out the wireless network test report (press network button and update button 2x). verify ssid is hsetup
- change the mac wireless network to hpsetup
- go to the sys pref > print scan
- add the 8000 printer
- click on the options and supplies and go to the printer webpage
- use the network wizard and change the network from hpsetup to your network
- finish
- go back to the sys prefs and change the network to your network
- go to the printer and print out the wireless network test report (press network button and update button 2x). Check that the SSID is your network
- try printing something to your printer. It might take a little time the first print.

Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-In-One Windows 8 driver not working

Hello!
I recently got a new Dell Inspiron computer running the 64-bit version of Windows 8, and I have an Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-In-One Printer from a long time ago. I don't have the disc version of the driver, since I purchased the printer before Windows 8 came out, so I tried to download it from the HP website. Whenever I try to run it, however, it says that it is extracting, but once the extract is finished, nothing happens. The Installation Wizard doesn't pop up, and there is no error message explaing it. Help please?
Thanks!
This question was solved.

Hi,
Can I check if your Officejet Pro 8500 is A909 or A910? Alternatively, you can install the class driver built into Windows 8 to print to your printer. There are also a couple of Windows Store apps (HP AiO Remote and HP Scan and Capture) that would work with your printer.
I work for HP.
