Yosemite and Officejet 6700

Since upgrading to Yosemite I am unable to print (haven't tried scanning function as it's lower priority). The printer and imac appear to be communicating (I can see ink cartridge levels, the print job screen says "connected to printer" but when I click print nothing happens...
A windows based computer in my home WILL print to the 6700 wirelessly and a test print initiated from the 6700 worked fine.
So far I have tried all the steps below as recommended on a different thread. Where do I go from here.

  • Officejet 6700 cartridge "stalled"

    My Premium officejet 6700 had a paper jam, then I un jammed it. Then it worked again, until it had another jam. I again, unjammed the printer- but then the screen and my computer monitor says that the "ink cartidge" wont move, but I am hearing it go back and forth. So it's moving, but it's not recognizing that it's moving. Therefore It isn't printing. This is pretty time sensitive, any thoughts or suggestions?

    Hello @212box, 
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand that you are experiencing a false carriage jam message in regards to your Officejet 6700.

    Since I have installed Yosemite in my imac 27 late 2013, I have a lot of problems to print in a hp officejet 6700 printer connected via wlan Time Capsule. I am able to see the printer, but when I try to print the system is not able to find the printer. I have all update, less the printer driver from hp, but they say that last driver should work with mavericks and yosemite.
    The printer was working properly with mavericks and I did not make any change in the wlan.

  • Apple devices will not print to Officejet 6700 including MacBook Pro and iPad

    I am trying to help someone set up their MacBook Pro and iPad to be able to wirelessly print to their Officejet 6700. I recently set them up with a new Apple Airport Extreme for their router. The printer connects fine to the wireless network. Everything during the install process for the printer goes well, the MacBook easily sees the printer. The correct driver is installed. They also have a Windows 7 laptop that prints instanteously and has no issues whatsoever. 
    When I try to print from the Mac, nothing prints. I open the print queue and it shows "Printing - connected to printer..." and nothing ever comes of it. When trying to print from the iPad, it can see the printer and I select it. However, after telling it to print, the dialogue box just says "Connecting to Printer" and it never does - it just times out. 
    Things I've tried:
    Everything in this article that is related to Macs (10.8). 
    Resetting the printing system on the Mac.
    Resetting the printer to default settings.
    Setting the static IP of the printer through the printer settings.
    Setting the IP of the printer through the Airport Utility (after changing the printer to automatic).
    Rebooting the Mac after each attempt to remove the printer and before adding again. 
    Using the official HP Officejet 6700 driver.
    Using the Airprint driver.
    Other info:
    I can successfully ping the printer's IP address from the MacBook Pro.
    I can easily see the web setup page for the printer both through the printer settings and by entering the IP address. 
    The printer is only about a month old. 
    They bought this printer because the previous one was having problems printing from all of their devices wirelessly. That was with a router from their previous ISP. 
    At this point, I'm completely stumped as to why the printer will not print from these Apple devices. We've dealt with every issue that could be causing it: the network, the printer, and the MacBook itself. I've looked online and can see no issues with people not being able to print to a wirelessly connected printer to an Airport Extreme. I've seen some issues when the printer is plugged in via USB to the Airport Extreme, but that is not our setup. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
    This question was solved.

    Thank you very much for your help @Sunshyn2005!!!!! I think we're good to go now!

  • My Mac stoped printing. I am on ox 10.9 and I have a HP Officejet 6700 premium

    My Mac stoped printing. I am on ox 10.9 and I have a HP Officejet 6700 premium. I've reinstalled the drivers and tried several time . . . It just keeps telling me that the printer is busy.
    I also have a PC hocked up to the network and it prints fine.
    There is nothing wrong with my mac either because I have a dymo printer hocked up and it prints fine . . . 
    What gives?

    Hi HappyHarpo, 
    Thanks for your post and welcome to the HP Forum.
    At first step I suggest to restart your Mac and printer. If printer is in a network, also reboot the router first. Then try printing again. 
    If it still fails, I suggest to reset the printing system. Open Printers & Scanners and right-click the left side with the listed printer then choose Reset Printing System. 
    Then add the printer again, make sure next to "Use" the HP Printer/driver is selected correctly, and test printing. 
    Best regards,

  • Officejet 6700 Premium says color cartridge is depleted and won't print at all

    My printer is only 5-6 months old, and refuses to print because it says the Yellow cartridge is depleted. I know it has not dried up and that it is still printing fine because I signed up for an app that prints out recipes every weekday (in color) and the page printed just this morning looked perfectly fine - the yellow showed up totally normal. The estimated ink level for the yellow cartridge does say that it is depleted, but how can that be when I have proof (from this morning's printout) that I still have yellow ink?  And, according to the manual, the printer will still print if one of the color cartridges is depleted, as long as the black is not depleted. The black is only half-used, so why is the manual giving false information and my printer still refuses to print anything? Very frustrated....

    Hey BoydJones, I see you are having an issue with your Officejet 6700 Premium and have a few questions.  There are 2 major types of ink systems for inkjet model printers: IPH (integrated printhead) and IIC (individual ink cartridges).  Many older model printers used the IPH style cartridge system: Tri-Color and Black.  Most newer printers use the IIC system, but not all. There was a reason for the paradigm shift in the ink systems.  The tri-color cartridge contained all 3 colors used in color printing: Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow.  If any one of the 3 ran out, then you had to replace the cartridge no matter how much of the other 2 remain in the cartridge.  In the IIC system one can change only the individual color that is out. As to the reason your color is draining from what appears to be little color usage:  The printer uses ink in many ways.  Ink is used when cleaning the printhead to ensure proper performance in print jobs, a small amount of color ink is placed below black ink to ensure a full rich black color and a long lasting printout, and ink is used to perform other preventative maintenance in the printer.  For more information on how ink is used in HP printers please click here. The reason one has to change the cartridge in the IIC style ink system is to prevent damage to the printhead of the unit by ink drying in the ports of the printhead.  The printhead in the 6700 premium is a stationary/permanent printhead and any damage of this nature could prevent the unit from printing at all.  In the 2 cartridge, IPH, system the printhead is contained with the cartridge and replaced with each cartridge change.  Thus, if one runs out of color and waits to replace the cartridge there will not be an issue of dried ink in the ports as the printhead is changed with the cartridge. I hope this helps to explain and clarify.  As well, I saw your post and forwarded it to the right people for their review. You should hear back from someone shortly via private message on this Forum. Jason

  • Officejet 6700 Premium - Pauses print job and won't resume

    I recently bought this printer and set it up. It was working perfectly. I unplugged it for a few days when I went out of town. And now, after powering it back on, it won't print anything. It immediately pauses the print job and won't resume.
    I checked to make sure it was still set up to my wireless and it says that it's connected. I'm printing from my MacBook.
    I have no idea what the problem could be. Not really a techie so please describe solutions in "laymen's terms".
    Thanks!

    Hi DeniseT,
    Welcome to the HP forums!
    You have an Officejet 6700 that is paused and won't allow you to resume on your Mac? This techie would be happy to help you get this working again
    What I'd like you to try DeniseT is to reset your printing system and then re-add the printer. This Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system document from Apple will explain step by step how to reset the printing system. Once you've added the printer back you should be able to print without issue.
    Hope to hear back from you soon with a success story

    Is there are a workaround for compatibility issue between OfficeJet 6700 Premium with MacBook Air OS X 10.10 Yosemite?

    Welcome to the forums @Bron15
    I read your post about wanting a work around for your Officejet 6700 to be used on 10.10.
    There is a Full Feature driver available for you to install on Yosemite, therefore it's fully compatible. Download the driver below. If there are any issues, please let me know what exactly the problems are.

    Assuming you are using a network connection, try unplugging your router for 30 seconds and plug it back.
    Next restart your Mac and turn the printer Off and On again, then check for any difference.
    If that doesn't help, try resetting the printing system and check again:
    *Be aware that resetting the printer system will remove any existing print queue and reset any customized driver settings.
    Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences .
    Select Printers & Scanners.
    Right-click (or Ctrl + click) your product in the Printers list in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system .
    Click OK to confirm the reset.
    Type your user Name and Password .
    Click OK . The printing system resets.
    Now click the plus sign and try adding the printer.

  • Scanning with an Officejet 6700 Premium

    Hi!
    I'm having trouble scanning documents.
    My laptop is a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.10.1 (Yosemite).
    The printer is an Officejet 6700 Premium e-All-in-One. It is connented via WiFi -- the Printers & Scanners section of System Preferences lists it as HP Officejet 6700-AirPrint.
    I *can* print documents, so the setup is not entirely messed up...
    The printer makes copies, so the scanning hardware must be OK.
    I downloaded and installed fresh drivers from the HP website.
    I *can* scan documents by going to the printer's webpage, then to Scan > Webscan. This only works in Firefox, not in Chrome, and doesn't give me the option to select the are I'd like to scan. It's rather inconvenient.
    What *doesn't* work:
    -Webscan in the Chrome browser: the scanner makes some noise but I can't save the result.
    -In Preview, File > Import from Scanner... is disabled. This used to work and was very convenient, but then broke somehow.
    -HP Scan. It says "Preparing to scan..." for a couple of seconds then pops up an error message: "Scanner reported an error. HP Officejet 6700 is currently unavailable. Please check if it is turned on and connected, or try again later."
    -"Scan to computer" from the printer. A popup appears on my computer screen: 
    "Scan failed. The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.hp.scanhandler.error error 2.)"
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! It would be wonderful if we could get Preview's Import from Scanner... function to work.
    Thanks,
    b

    Ha!
    I fixed it.
    Here's what I did:
    -Run HP Uninstaller to remove... everything?
    -Reboot the laptop.
    -Do a factory reset on the printer, then re-enter the WiFi password.
    -Download the driver (is that what it is?) from hp.com/support. I noticed that the file is called "HP Inkjet SW OSX Mavericks.pkg" even though my OS is called Yosemite.
    -Install that, following all prompts. When I added the printer I picked"HP Officejet 6700" rather than "AirPrint" for"Use:"even though AirPrint would have been the default and the choice of "Auto Select". See attached screenshot.
    -Go to Preview, menu File > Import from HP Officejet 6700... and test. Success!
    Of course I don't know which of these things made the difference, but it worked for me.
    Cheers,

  • Officejet 6700 error while searching for updates: 'Printer could not connect to server'

    I recently purchase the Officejet 6700 Premium. While setting the printer up, I received the error 'The printer could not connect to the server.' I first received this while the printer was searching for updates. I later received the same error while trying to set up ePrint from my computer.
    The printer is connected through my wireless router. All other print services function normally. It is connected to the network, and I have printed several times over the wireless network.
    Though I don't think it matters, since the on-board print set-up gave me the error, I run Windows 7 64-bit on my computer.
    Thanks for any help!

    What is the IP address of the printer?  What is the make and model of the router that you use in the wireless set up? Is the router firmware up to date? 
    I would first try power cycling the router and the printer. Turn off/unplug the router and then power down the printer. Then plug the router back in and wait for it to be fully up and functioning before turning the printer back on.  After you have both pieces of equipment back on and functioning attempt to connect to web services again.
    If still having problems I would attempt to set a static DNS on the printer through the embedded web server (EWS) by entering the printer's IP address into the address bar of  a browser on a computer. 
    Once that computer displays that page click on the Network tab.
    Then look in the column to the left and find the Wireless section
    Click on IPv4
    Then on that page look at the 2nd section that is labeled DNS Address configuration
    Change the radio button to the manual option
    Then for the manual preferred fill it out and make sure it reads 8.8.8.8
    Secondary should be set to 8.8.4.4
    Then hit Apply
    Read the next screen carefully. That message with the "OK" button below it  is one that states to click that button to undo the changes you  just made.  Just navigate away from that page by clicking on another tab.
    Then reattempt to connect to web services.

  • OfficeJet 6700 Premium Problems after Windows 8.1 update

    My Officejet 6700 Premium worked great wirelessly under Windows 7 to print & Scan.  Since updating to Windows 8.1, I can print to the printer wirelessly (having set it up manually from the printer), but the software won't load and I can't scan.  Setting up a network connection using downloaded HP software fails (it just says it failed, no error message), and trying to download the entire software package (which includes scan, which I need), also fails during step 1 of 4.  I tried uninstalling all HP software first, but the same errors persist.  I don't want to mess things up further (as I said, I'm able to print wirelessly now), but I really want to be able to scan to the computer.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello mfrank1,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having some printing issues since you upgraded to Windows 8.1.
    I do have a few troubleshooting steps that we can try to resolve this issue.
    I first suggest that we uninstall the old software and drivers. I realize that you have already attempted to do this but I still would like to try it again but this time using the following document:  Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    When you stated that you have the printer connected with a direct connection using wireless, is this with a Bluetooth connection? Do you have a Router that you are going through?
    Once the software is uninstalled, please restart the computer.  Please disable any firewalls or anti virus protection before starting the next step.
    When the computer is back up and running, please click on the following link for the HP Officejet Full Feature Software and Driver.
    Please save the download to the Desktop of the computer so that it creates it's own Icon.  Double click on the new Icon and follow the instructions.
    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.
