Cannot print wirelessly from Windows 7 (64 bit) laptop to Officejet 6000 Wireless (E609n)

The printer is a HP Officejet 6000 Wireless (E609n) and is connected via usb to a Windows 7 (64 bit) desktop and the laptop has Windows 7 (64 bit) loaded.
No changes were made that I'm aware of other than the usual Windows updates.
Server is offline is displayed next to the printer icon on the laptop when printing is attempted.
The wireless network test report shows no problems.
I have rebooted the desktop and printer with no success.
The laptop used to print wirelessly without a problem.

I am not sure the Officejet 6000 can have both the wireless and USB ports active at the same time. You could try disconnecting for the USB cable and then power cycling the printer and trying to connect wirelessly. If you have the desktop connected to a router that also provices wireless capability you could connect the desktop with the network connection.
One other thing you might consider is sharing the printer on your network from the desktop computer. Next on the laptop computer do the following: go to the Devices and Printers folder, Add a Printer, Local Printer, Create a Port, Local Port, \\Computername\Printername (use the actual share name for the computer and printer), OK, then select HP (not Hewlett-Packard) for the manufacturer and select the appropriate HP Officejet 6000 series model.

How do I get my macbook OS X 10.5.8 to print both sides of paper with HP Officejet 6000 wireless

How do I get my macbook OS X 10.5.8 to print both sides of paper with HP Officejet 6000 wireless?

If it has that available, when the Print Dialog comes up, click on Copies & Pages, choose Layout, look for 2 sided printing... some Printer Drivers may have it under abother heading.

Officejet 6000 wireless and WPA2-Enterprise network security

I own an Officejet 6000 wireless printer. The manual says that it should be compatible with a wireless network with WPA2-Enterprise network security but when setting up the connection (I am using a macbook and am setting the printer up via usb connection) the newtork is listed but the security type is "unsupported." For whatever its worth it is listed 5 or 6 times but probably thats a different issue.
I can still select the right network but it only asks for a security key, but my network security requires a log-in name and password.
What can I do to get my printer connected to the network?

I get the feeling that most of the people replying here don't know the difference between WPA2-Personal and WPA2-Enterprise.
Personal has a passkey.
Enterprise uses both a username and password, usually in conjunction with a Radius server (802.1X athentication).
What we've had to do solve this problem is create a second SSID on the network that authenticates on WPA2-Personal. We use a really long password to secure the network, one that I will never be able to memorize in my lifetime.
All we can hope for is that these enterprise-level vendors will, perhaps, gain a greater understanding of wireless authentication processes and the needs of actual enterprise customers who at least a percieved need for wireless printer capabilities. It used to be that customer was always right, though. Perhaps those days are gone...
The other problem that probably ought to be addressed on consumer end is the fact that multicast tools that make AirPrint work (such as Bonjour), are being blocked from crossing between your wired and wireless networks, perhaps by the wireless controller or due to inefficient routing hierarchy or NAT/PAT issues. Solve this issue and you won't have a need for wireless printers.

HP Officejet 6000 Wireless - Does not print black correctly.

HP Officejet 6000 Wireless - Does not print black correctly.
Previously the printer was printing fine.
This evening I printed a diagram I made in MS PowerPoint. The diagram contained black and red text along with black, red, and blue lines. When I took the printed page from the printer, all the black items looked faded. Instead of black, they printed as a light, faded gray. The red and blue printed correctly.
Another user of the printer printed some documents around the same time. These documents had nothing but black text. Every page this user printed showed up completely blank. The black was not even faded. There were no signs of anything being printed on the pages at all.
It seemed strange that one print job would print faded black and the other printed nothing. Considering the possibility that the ink was low, a new black cartridge was placed into the printer. The exact same results occured. My diagram printed correctly except for the fact that the things that were supposed to be black were coming up as light gray. Once again, the documents printed by the other user came up completely blank.
I ran a print test on the printer. It printed a Windows logo with the word "Windows" below. The logo printed correctly. The text showed up as a light, faded gray.
A third user printed an Excel spreadsheet. The cell borders were printed as a light gray. Nothing else printed. Everything in the spreadsheet was supposed to be black.
The third user also printed a recipe from MS Word. Most of the text showed up as a light, faded gray. Some text did not show up at all. I could not see any correlation between what showed up in faded gray and what did not show up.
It seems to me that if something was wrong with the cartridges, it would either always be faded or not print at all. I can consistently get some things to print faded and other things to not print at all. Color always prints correctly.
The print jobs were sent to the printer wirelessly from three different computers. Two computers run Windows 7 (x64). The third computer runs Windows XP SP2.
As far as I can tell, nothing was changed or done differently between now and the last time something printed correctly.
Might this be a driver issue? Since the printing consistently prints one way for certain files and another way for other files, I don't see it as being caused by hardware. If it's not a software issue, what could possibly cause the effects I described above?

Setting up my macbook pro to hp officejet 6000 wireless printer

Having trouble getting my macbook pro (new) to print from printer. Have USB plugged to printer and the wireless modem (no desktop setup). Was able to intially print then it started showing printer not connected. If I plug USB to the macbook vs. the wireless cable modem, I can print.
I do get an ip address.
Thank you.

Hi CEBD,
Thank you for your reply! As Mac OS X 10.10 was just released yesterday, there is currently no HP Software and Drivers for this Operating System! However, if your HP Officejet 6000 was previously connected to your network, all you should have to do is to add the printer as a wireless printer. Please see this guide, OS X Mavericks: Set up a printer. You can also watch this youtube video, Installing an HP Printer in Mac OS X Mavericks Using a Wired or Wireless Network Connection.
Please see this post, Mac OS 10.10 Yosemite and HP Printer Support, by @Double-U-Dee.
I would also take a look at this guide, 'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Does Not Print: Mac OS X, and follow the steps for 10.8 and 10.9.
Hope this information is helpful, and have a great day!

HP Officejet 6000 wireless printer

I want to print to my (E609n) network printer from my IPad. The printer is configured as a network printer with a eithernet cable to my Westell Model 7500 router. My desktop is wired eithernet and it prints OK. My HP laptop is wireless and it prints OK there also. When I check for printers via the IPad, no printers show up. I did check and HP didn't have the Officejet 6000 listed as AirPrint capable. I there a workaround to this, or an app avalible to allow printing to this printer from the IPad?

HP Officejet 6000 will not connect to new wireless modem.

I have Windows 8.1. My HP Officejet 6000 E609n wireless printer worked well, until the modem died and a new one was installed (new address). I need to know how to make it recognize the new network address. (Note: I tried to install the original setup software, but the CD would not run under Windows 8).

Officejet 6000 e609n cannot convert to from USB to wireless

I am attempting to convert the connection to my Officejet 6000 E609n printer from USB to wireless (XP Pro SP3). After going to the HP icon on my Application Menu and navigating to the “Configure Wireless Settings” the following sequence of events occur: 1) A window with the title “Installing Officejet 6000 e609n” opens. As it opens the progress bar shows set 3 of 4. 2) A window titled “Network Setup” opens with an instruction “Temporarily connect the printer to your computer using a USB cable.” A box in the lower left corner of the window is to be checked if you printer is already connected via USB cable. (Mine is, and has been for some time.) 3) After checking the box and pressing NEXT, another window opens to select the printer being installed. The HP Officejet 6000 e609n series is the only printer listed. I select it, and press Next.) This message comes up: “Selected printer is not present. Please connect the printer and press Retry or press Cancel to select another.” I then cancel my way out of setup. I can print a test page and other jobs from the computer via the USB connection – no problems. What could be causing this? FYI I have gone thru the reset routine, no change. I could not find a similar situation on the wireless printer forms.

I am having the same prob. No resolve yet.

Ok, since you get the error "The selected printer is not present." during the installation, here is some troubleshooting that should help narrow down the cause/resolve the issue:

My HP officejet 6000 E609n wireless does not print on envelopes.

My HP officejet 6000 E609n wireless does not print on envelopes. When I send an envelope address from the Microsoft Word envelope app, the envelope loads and then it is send through the printer without printing on the envelope. If instead of loading an envelope I load a plain sheet of 8x10.5 paper it will print the address as it should (side ways and on what would be an envelope). I have had no problem printing envelope to my old DeskJet 930C with this Word envelope app.
I load the envelopes without the 8x10.5 paper and the paper guide moved over to the edge of the envelopes up which are against the right side of the load table as indicated on the tray guide.

After many frustrating and fruitless attempts to solve this problem, including updating the drivers and following so many bits of advice from so many sources including contacting HP customer services by phone and email (who have not, so far, shown the courtesy of acknowledging my enquiry), I seem to have overcome the problem by cutting a piece of A4 paper along its length to a width, which when added to the envelope’s height, equals the width of an A4 sheet. For example, I use DL envelopes which have a nominal width of 110mm so the width of the piece of paper cut from A4 (which is 210 mm wide) is 100 mm. This strip is then temporarily attached to the envelope by piece of low tack tape (such as masking tape) running along and joining the paper and the envelope tabs. I feed this assembly of strip and envelope into the printer in the default position, (i.e. the envelope on the right hand side of the tray, face down with the sealing tabs on the left). The printer seems to treat this assembly as a piece of A4 and prints the address etc on the envelope correctly. The envelope is then easily detached from the tape without damage and I have found that this works many times as sufficient tack remains on the tape. I know this sounds a little complicated but it soon becomes a simple task.
The HP Officejet 6000 printer has previously worked splendidly, printing envelopes from the Word 2007 envelopes function running on XP but has only recently malfunctioned since changing to Windows 7. For the record, I have also tried to print envelopes using the Word compatibility mode without success.

How do you turn off power saving mode on a Officejet 6000

I have 5 Officejet 6000 printer contected by using the ethernet port. They print fine when not in power saving mode. When they go into power saving mode and a print job is sent to them, they do not print. You have to power off and on the printer for the job to print. I need to turn off the power saving mode on these printers. Computers sending print jobs are XP and Window 7.

I am not aware of a way to turn that feature off completely since it does not have a front panel.
However, I suspect largely that the issue is with DHCP IP (automatic) settings. Printers in general, with some routers, have issues with DHCP and standby where they no longer communicate using DHCP information.
I recommend setting static IP addresses for any printer on a network as it prevents most network issues with printers from occuring.
Print a network configuration page by holding the network button for 3 seconds and then releasing it. A printout should be printed with the printers IP address.
Once that is done, enter that IP address into the browser on a computer as if you were going to a site. Once that is entered, go to that site and the printer status page should be loaded.
There should be a Network option at the top. Select that option.
On this page, somewhere on the left, there should be an IPv4 option in a wired section. Select this and it will give the option for automatic or manual IP setup.
Select Manual IP setup. Enter The IP address and subnet mask from the printout. You can enter the gateway and the DNS servers, but they aren't really used since this printer does not have any web functions.
Click apply and you should get a success message.
At this point, the printer should have a static IP address and the issue of it not responding after entering standby should no longer be present.
PrintDoc's post has similar steps for a wireless version of the same printer. The only step that would really be different is choosing Wired instead of Wireless on the setup page.

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...
