Unable to Delete Older Printing Presets -- Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Printer with OSX v10.6.4

I find that, after upgrading to the latest Officejet Pro 8000 A809 (989005) printer driver, I am not able to delete Presets that were created with earlier versions of the Apple/HP supplied printer driver.  I am using OSX v10.6.4 and v2.0.3 of the HP Printer Driver.
When I try to print from an application the Presets that had been previously created appear on the menu, but 'Delete" is not available as an option for any of those older Presets.
If I create a new Preset, it appears in a section of the menu listing below the Presets created by earlier versions, and the Delete option is available to remove any Presets made with v2.0.3 of the driver.
I would like to delete the earlier Presets, since are no longer necessary given the changes that have been introduced in the latest versions of the HP printer driver.

If you have HP software for pre-10.6 Snow Leopard, you must uninstall the software using the 'scrubber' option.  Also, you do not need the hp software at all - both print and scan drivers are built into the OS.  I'd recommend uninstalling, but make sure to do it this way:
Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
Click on Continue
Highlight your device on the left pane
Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click Continue and let it finish
Restart your Mac
Now, run a Software Update.
Next, remove and re-install the printer in System Preferences, Print & Fax.
You do not need the software now since Snow Leopard has both print & scan drivers built-in. Scan from Preview or Image Capture apps. Scanning from the front panel of the printer does not yet work.

  • 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.

  • My Officejet Pro 8000 wireless printer prints to only 4x5" on 8x11 sheet when printing mult pages

    My Officejet Pro 8000 wireless prints to only 4x5 inches on the 8x11 sheet when I try to print multiple pages per sheet from an Adobe file.  The print preview shows the paper dimensions to be 8x11, and the four Adobe pages are properly scaled to fill the 8x11 printed sheet, yet when printing, all the printing is condensed to the upper left quarter of the sheet.

    What did it? I was still trying to figure it out

  • HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Printer: Still getting vertical white streak on copies

    HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Printer: Still getting a vertical white streak down pictures. I have changed the yellow/black printhead. One helps note says I should try cleaning the scanner glass. Where is the scanner glass, and how do I get to it?
    Any other possible solutions for getting rid of the vertical line?  Thank you.
    This question was solved.

    HI,
    THis looks like a issue with the printer itself as it indeed is a vertical mis. A cartridge issue would cause a horizontal issue. What you can tru is cleaning the carriage rod, the metal bar that you see in the printer, and carefully clean the transparant strip. Do this very carefully as its pretty delicate and if it breaks the unit is ready for trash.

  • Officejet Pro 8000 wireless printer is "not connected."

    My Office Jet worked like a dream until I had to change my network settings, specifically my wireless network password.  I reconfigured the printer with the new password, but now whenever I try to print, I get an error message saying the printer is 'not connected.'  If I connect via USB cable, it works fine.
    The network configuration printout shows that the printer is connected to the wireless network and the diagnostics (wireless on, wireless working, etc) all read PASS.  
    I am using a MacBook.
    Help?

    try this on the touchscreen of your printer ...
    - go to "Setup"
    - select "Network"
    - make sure the "Wireless Direct" feature is enabled
    I was having the same problem(s) and this solved my issue

  • Any experiences with the HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 Wireless printer?

    I'm thinking about buying it after reading the XL black ink cartridges yield 2200 pages. It's not an all in one. I don't need it, already have 2 of them. My Epson CX4800 constantly needs to have the print nozzles cleaned and has banding problems. I can clean them, get them clean, then in the middle of a several page job, it starts banding again or loses a color. How are the HP printers with this problem? All the friends homes that I go to that have HPs seem to print much faster than the Epson I have also.Thanks in advance.

  • Brand new HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Printer

    When turned on the light in the on/off switch continues to flash & the printer continuously cycles through its set-up mode.  If we try to print while this is going on we end up with illegible final material.

  • Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless printer

    I have black ink seeping out below where the printheads are located, on the right of the machine.  The ink cartidges are on the far left of the machine.  The printer works, and I have done all the various print diagnostic/calibrating tests.
    Anyone have any idea why, and from where exactly, it is leaking, and is there anything I can do about it myself?  The printer is 4 years old and has worked very well, and is still working.

    Changed printheads since black ink spots on printed material.  Worked for a week and now happening again. Any suggestions?

  • 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.

  • Officejet Pro 8500a wireless printer hangs up when printing document.

    I have an officejet pro 8500a wireless printer and it has been working flawlessly.  Now all of a sudden it hangs up when sending a document to it.  It will say "now printing", with the red "x" and just sits there looking at me.  I have discovered that I can open the printer lid and close it and it will then print??????  
    Also when I click on "apps"on the printer menu screen,  it tells me, "unable to connect to the server".
    Anybody experience this problem??

    I too have this issue with my HP8500a Plus.
    I have managed to narrow down the issue to one of the cartridges. Whenever this cartridge is inside the printer, the issue will happen. If it's not, then the issue disappears!
    I have tested this discovery on TWO different hp8500a printers, and they both react to this "special" cartridge the same way: its presence inside the cartridge tray triggers the issue.
    There is only one thing that makes this cartridge any different form the other ones: even though it IS a genuine HP cartridge, it has been refilled and the max allowed page count has been hit. The issue started happening only after the max allowed page count has been hit.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 A809 printing line feed page after every job

    I've searched and I have found this is a known issue - that there is supposed to be an update to fix this. I can't find this update anywhere for the HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809. It is connected to the computer via a USB cable. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, changing the print heads, doing diagnostics on it, ..., and I still get the line feed page printing after every print job. Help!

    Hey there @tjkalb, I hope you are doing well
    I read your post about how a "line feed" page prints after each print job from your Officejet 8000, running Windows 7. I have some steps and questions for you to try to get started. Afterwards please get back to me with the results and we will go from there if needed.
    1. Does the "line feed" page print after print jobs from all programs, or are you finding it prints when you print from somewhere specifically?
    2. Try a Clean Boot on your PC, restart the PC, and try printing from Notepad to see if the line feed prints.
    3. Print a Print Quality Page from the printer and examine it for any defects and to see if the line feed page still prints afterwards:
    source
    4. Click here and try download the "Updates" for this printer: HP Officejet Pro 8000 Printer - A809a
    5. Create another User Account profile on your computer and try printing from there to see if the line feed page prints from another profile.

  • 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:
