Trying to setup an HP officejet 6500 printer wirelessly - The isue seems to be with my airport router

I am able to create an ad hoc network using bonjour, but when I try to setup the printer in wireles mode, the wireless network is not recognized by my iMac. Brand new printer - I can't set it up on my windows machine either so it ust be something with the router. Any ideas?

anchio ho lo stesso problema con Mas Os x 10.7.4
con il sistema 10.5 funziona perfettamente
credo sia un problema del sistema
ho provato con 10.8 stesso problema

I have problems printing with a HP Officejet 6500 printer directly from my iMac. The printer itself does function well, as I can print from another PC without any problems. Does anyone have a clue?

Hello:
I must apologize . I should have checked here first:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP
According to the list, there is no driver for your printer included in OS X 10.7.
There are a couple of options:
1. Contact HP to see if they have a workaround.
2. If the model of printer is not listed but your printer is a PostScript printer or PCL Laser printer, try the "Generic PostScript" or "PCL Laser printer" drivers. Generic printer drivers may not let you access all the features of your printer.
I have not tried #2, but some people have had success.

Extra line running through the screen on my Officejet 6500 printer

I just noticed a second horizontal line running through the screen on my Officejet 6500 printer screen (right through where the ink levels show up.) The screen resembles graph paper. What causes this? Is there something wrong with the machine? Can something be done to correct it?

Hi there,
A full factory reset may not be required. Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

Repair your Apple software update.
Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install
If you don't find ASU, go to Control Panel:
START/CONTROL PANEL/Programs n Features/highlight ASU and click REPAIR,

Printing Problem - the process "mdns" stopped unexpectedly with status 1

I have been trying to get my Epson Stylus rX620 to print wirelessly for a while. It actually worked once and printed two separate documents. Then however it decided not to work any longer and it seems that nothing I do changes it. The same error message appears each time in the print monitor:
the process "mdns" stopped unexpectedly with status 1
It has printed wirelessly with the same equipment. It is attached to an airport express that is linked to extend my wireless network from an Airport Extreme. It has no problem printing when the USB cable is plugged in directly. I have tried everthing that I can think of. Any ideas??

Hi John,
Okay, that was some new information...
Given that the hub is causing the problem then I would concentrate on testing it. Try connecting the Mac and the printer directly to the hub. Ensure the IP addresses of each device (Mac and Printer) are set to the same subnet (if printing via TCP/IP) or if AppleTalk is being used, make sure it is enabled on both devices.
You may also have to create a new printer. When you had the printer connected to the USB port of the AEBS, it will have been configured as a local device but printing via a virtual USB port. When the printer was connected to the hub, it would have been configured as a network device.
If this works then at least you know that the hub and the network cables are okay. The next step would be to ensure the AEBS, the printer and the Mac are all set to use the same protocol.
If they are all correct then try deleting the printer from the Printer List, running the Reset Printing System function and adding the network printer again. If you are using TCP/IP, you could even try pinging the printer to ensure the path to the printer is open.
Regards,
Paul

My New HP P2015d Printer ($400) doesn't seem to work with New Pavilion Slimeline 64 bit PC !

My New HP P2015d Printer ($400) doesn't seem to work with New Pavilion Slimeline 64 bit PC ! I need some suggestions. Any help would be appreciated.
The printer worked for a while and then out of the blue stopped working. We have a virus protection system, so I doubt it is a virus issue.
*** We already tried to download the latest drivers and that doesn't seem to work ***

We have two Ipad2's in the house 64gb wifi, one prints wirelessly the other sees the printer but no results, any thoughts!

We have two Ipad2's 64gb wifi in the house, one prints wirelessly the other no results even though it sees the printer, any thoughts, also while recently overseas the IPad having print difficulties also had wifi connection issues although no problems at home, any thoughts?

Kristeen-
In case the printing problem is related to the WiFi problem, try resetting your iPad's WiFi network. Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. You will probably need to reconnect the iPad to your WiFi.
It is also possible that there is a print job hung up in the Print Queue. Double click the iPad's Home button and a row of recent Apps will line up along the bottom of the screen. Scroll across and look for the Print Queue.

I just purchased moutain lion. I'm trying to download it but it doesn't. The download icon comes on with the bar below it. But no blue line appears. It's my third try. This last time I've waited for 15 minutes.

How do I print a disk-saved HP Officejet 6500 printer file?

This morning I did not have any ink in my black HP 920 ink cartridge - so I saved a print ready document as a printer file on my hard drive. I now have a new ink cartridge in my HP Officejet 6500 Wireless printer. How do I print the disk file - if there is any way to load it to the printer "documents" printing file in Windows 7 - What name does it need to have - how long can the name be and how do I load the file to print in "documents" or just plain print the document? Whatever help can be provided - I'll appreciate!

You could try creating 'paper' the size of the #12 envelope, and try that possibly.

HP Officejet 6500 (E709n) wireless mobile printing issues using Wi-Fi...

I have an HP Officejet 6500 (E709n series) that I can no longer print from my Android based device. I have the latest drivers installed on my Win-7 64 bit Premium edition and have flashed the most current firmware available on HP's site. There was a time not long ago where I downloaded and installed an HP app from the Android Market which allowed my mobile device to print to my wi-fi enabled and configured HP 6500. My phone crashed so I had to re-download and install apps. It seems HP ePrint Home&Biz app is the only option here and from what I've read, this app is not compatible with hP ePrint. Am I missing something or is this completely lame to discontinue support for a printer hardly a year old?
This question was solved.

Hello JayyTeee,
I do apologize for the issue you are having.
It sounds as though you are printing wirelessly from your Android phone on the same network as the printer.
This is actually different from ePrint.
The Home & Biz app is designed primarily to print on the same wireless network.
If the app is not finding the printer, I would make sure the phone and printer are on the same network.
If they are on the same network, then I would try uninstalling and reinstalling the Home & Biz app from the Android Market.

How do I print using Ideapad K1 and HP Officejet 6500 printer

Hi folks
I have been struggling to configure the ideapad to print with my printer. I have the Ideapad K1 with Android Version 3.2.1. (I upgraded from 3.1 to 3.2.1). I have absolutely no idea on how to get this done and there does not seems to be any documentation around this. Any help will be appreciated. I might end up returning both the ideapads if I can't figure out how t print. I have a HP Officejet 6500 series printer (pretty new).
Thanks

This is pretty lame that the Ideapad does not allow you to print. It is quite inexcusable that for printing we need to buy an application or be limited to 20 prints (I can't seem to set up the trial application of printershare).
I honestly think I am better off retunrning both the ideapads and looking for alternatives. I am sure the Galaxy tablet will not have this stupid issue.
Lenovo Representative monitoring this Forum, If you are listening or reading would appreciate if you could do something about this.
Thanks

Officejet 6500 printing problem

I recently purchased this printer and it is connected onto my network with an ethernet cable. I have installed the full fat version of the HP software onto my computer, but the slimline version onto other machines. It prints perfectly well from all connected computers to standard A4 paper, but anything out of the ordinary, like an envelope or a sticky label causes problems.
Using my own computer, again connected by cable to the network, and running Windows 7 Professional and Office 2007, when trying to print a standard 110 x 220mm envelope, the printer starts the process, takes in the envelope and spits it out again unprinted, says it's printing and then gives a paper mismatch error message. Another computer connected by cable to the network and using Office 2007 but running XP Home performs in the same way.
I have spoken at length to HP support, and they say I have to change paper settings from within the HP driver. For a start there are nowhere near the same number of products listed in the driver settings as there are in Word, (no labels at all as far as I can see), but I have never had to change these settings using the driver with other printers, including the HP Officejet G85 this printer replaced. Everything is usually controlled from Word or whatever application you is using.
Is this behaviour a function of being connected direct to a network and would it perform normally if connected by USB, or could there be a fault? Any ideas gratefully received.

I have the same issue with my (2 month old) 6500A. The work around seems to be setting the preferences to "draft" each time....and it works. I can't seem to reset.

Officejet 6500 Printing labels & envelopes or anything not A4!

I have been trying to print to Avery J8165 labels from Word 2007. (For information the printer is connected via ethernet to the network and my computer is running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit). I have been successful in the past, sometimes, but today it's not having it. What I get is a very very tiny version of the address printed in the corner of the labels and the printer gives the paper miss match error message.
Now I have been here before with a similar situation trying to print onto a standard DL (110 x 220mm) envelope which resulted in much phoning of hp support. Again the printer gave a paper miss match message even when this had all been set up in Word in the usual way. HP support told me I should also go into the driver software and change the paper type in there as well, unfortunately the driver has very limited options for different paper types compared with Word, and even the common DL envelope size is not supported, but there is a close approximation which works. And in the same vein, there is no mention of any labels in the HP driver software but more to the point why should I have to tell this printer what I want to do from two sets of software? My old Officejet G85 took all its instructions flawlessly from Word or whatever programme I was printing from.
So for now I have resorted to, and not for the first time, my trusty ballpoint pen "printer" on the aforementioned labels, which is simple and does what it's told.
All suggestions gratefully received.

I have an HP Officejet 6500 E709n wireless printing problem

I am using a macbook and Safari 10.6.8. When I set the HP printer to work wireless over the home modem it will work just fine for awhile. Then some days later it won't find the printer and I have go to the printer and re-enter everything to get it back online to print wireless again. I have to do this over and over. I have downloaded the lasted updates for the printer and no change. Has anyone else run into this and found any solutions. Thanks for any expertise.

How does your printer get its IP address? If it uses DHCP, try a static address. I had symptoms similar to yours, but after giving it a static address, I've not had problems printing or scanning. I suspect that when the printer goes to sleep, it does not reconnect to the network properly. And, same as you, rebooting things works for a while. I've only just tried this today, so I don't want to say its definitively fixed, but up until now, printing/scanning would work until it went to sleep. If I'm proven wrong, I'll post again.

Can not print to my HP officejet 6500 printer. Have to use internet explorer to print documents that are sent

with Firefox as my default browser, can not print documents. Have to change to internet explorer to print.

Hello , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you're having issues regarding your print output. I'd like to help! Although you've performed steps similar to a power reset, I'd recommend running these steps before working with the steps found in the document. I would recommend removing the ink cartridges from the printer, and perform a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar. I would also suggest following the steps in this document on Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Officejet 6810 and Officejet Pro 6830 e-All-in-One Printer Series. Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
