8500 printer using ink because of the constant print alignment

Did someone had problems with a printer HP 8500 constantly try to align the print heads?  It's the printer of the worst I have ever owned, not quite 2 years old and the ink is extremely expensive, it would be more profitable to the trash, and by a new printer.

Hi there Katcora, welcome to the forums!

I saw your post on your Officejet 8500 constantly running an alignment. It is usually a sign of the failure of print heads. I have a suggestion that might help, that is to clean the printhead manually.

Check out this guide for the correct instructions: print head issues

If troubleshooting doesn't help not solve your problem, then I would say call the HP Technical Support to see all the other possibilities for you. If you call in North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions: click here.

Thanks for posting in the community, have a nice day

  • HP7510: Cannot fax using HP7510 because of the error message "not connected to the network.

    I have problems with efax.  He has worked in the past with no problems.  Now I get a message that the printer is not connected to the nework anything.  I can print wireless. The problem is with the sending of faxes.   I tried all of the suggestions I've seen on this forum... eprint ups turning - on, replacing addresses DNS serverver 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 respectively, unplug and plug back.  Uninstalling and reinstalling printer.  Nothing works.  Suggestions more?  I'm not tech savy, so simple answers are the best.  The only thing that has changed is on my network, I added a HP6520 printer.

  • Cyan is not printing on HP Officejet Pro 8500 has more - Air bubbles in the ink tubes

    Hi all

    I know why cyan is not printing.  It is because of the following:

    Ago, I ran out of ink cyan printing ("please replace cyan before continuing").  I live in a remote area and was not able to buy a replacement cyan cartridge, so I read on a hack on the Internet, that was to fool the printer into thinking that the cyan cartridge remained inside ink (just basically restricting the measure gauge so that it read the Full cartridge).  I did it because I had a print document that requires only the black ink, so I knew that this wouldn't be a problem.  Then life happened and I completely forgot my little shortcut, and my wife printed a number of color photos.  I finally had time to cartridges, and I now understood that cyan is not print at all.  I have now opened up the printer and realize that the cyan ink tube is full of bubbles...

    I tried to fix this by printing A4 pages that are for the most part, cyan, but without success.  I even tried to put pressure on the ink cartridge cyan in order to flood the cyan ink tubes - also, it does not work.  I read somewhere that there is a way to actually get some printers to pump tubes with ink, is - it possible on the Officejet Pro 8500 has more?

    Of course, I did all the tools that are pre-set to the arsenal of 8500, but still no luck.

    I know I'm in the situation I am purely because I don't use the device as intended, and people that no one is to blame but me, but I'd appreciate any help you could provide.

    Thank you

    John

    John, looks like you have a problem with the ink system. Unfortunately, what it looks like happened here, is that your ink nozzle, tubing and probably-print head have put dry for cyan. Work around is pretty neat, but it really is only recommended for a very temporary solution. If the ink has dried in the piping, but elsewhere in the printer then can be a decent chance that this printer will be not likely reprint the cyan. You can try to run the automatic cleaning process (up to three times I would say) via the Tools menu in the Setup (the wrench).

    In addition, I'm not sure that this will be a question that has a simple resolution. Apologies, John.

  • Why hp disables the use of scanning and faxing because of the low level of ink on my photosmart c4385?

    Why hp disables the use of scanning and faxing because of the low level of ink? Printer says print cartridge missing or not detected. Doesn't make sense to me because the ink has absolutely nothing to do with the other functions. Since I bought this all in one I replace ink twice and I only printed about 10 pieces of paper for nine, making these extremely expensive 10 sheets!

    try reseating the cartridges once more & switch off the printer and remove power & other cables connected to the printer & press & hold the power for 20 seconds & then reconnect all cables back & then turn on the pritner & try to use that will solve the problem...

  • Problem with the HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer: clean the print heads each time it is turned on

    Hello everyone,

    the printer HP all-in-one Officejet Pro 8500 (A909a - product n. CB022A) clean the print heads whenever I turn it on. This problem affects any HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer, it is not a problem only of this one I bought. It is a boring bug and annoying because each power clean print heads on involves two bad disadvantages:

    1. waste of ink (each heads cleaning process consumes little ink);
    2. too much time (2-3 minutes) to prepare the printer after plugging.

    I upgraded my printer with the latest firmware available on the HP site (firmware ver. DLM1FN1006BR), but the bug is still present.

    At this point, I ask:

    1. There is a way (or procedure) to disable automatic cleaning this useless to all power on?
    2. Can we communicate with the HP engineers or tell me how to contact directly one of them to indicate the bug and request a new firmware updated?

    Please don't tell me to leave the printer on all the time or that the printheads to each cleaning power is normal behavior! Where then are power and ink savings claimed for this printer model?

    I hope that a solution to this problem. Thanks in advance to everyone will help me!

    Maintenance when the printer is turned on is normal and is required to keep the printheads in good health (not blocked). See here for more information.

    With respect to energy savings, the printer automatically goes to low power mode when the don't feel not for awhile.  It is not necessary turn the unit on to save energy.

  • My canon mx892 won't print because of the error U052.

    our mx892 of canon do not print because of the error U052.  I followed all the steps suggested for this problem with a MX700, but it has not fixed the problem. now what?

    I replaced the printhead, according to your instructions, several times, but again, the error message occurs and won't let me use the menu button yet.  The red light on the ink cartridge "M" flashes slowly rather than stay on.  Also, your instructions omitted a step: remove all the ink cartridges before you lift the print head lock lever.

    This error message is come that I used the printer to print and I had not removed the print head or replaced the cartridges.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 not low ink printing

    I have printer HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g all-in-one wireless.  I use laptop computers with Windows XP 32-bit, and Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    I received an error message "Unable to print" - replace the following ink cartridge to resume printing (HP 940 M).  I replaced the single cartridge and all the cartridges and still have the error message.  I thought that maybe the Magenta Ink Cartridge, I bought was the problem and I tried another new cartridge of ink Magenta.  The error message was always the same.

    I followed the "solving a problem" to "replace following the empty ink cartridge after I installed a new cartridge.

    I even replaced the printhead to see if it would fix it, but no resolution.  Before replacing the print head, I could see the ink levels and he would show levels of ink full and empty intermittently.  Now it is blocked by the error on the screen and neither will meet press OK and continue.

    This could be the cause of this error message?  You have a solution?  Is that all I can try to correct this error message?

    Dennis

    It sounds like the problem of reading ink cartridges could be caused by a bug in the firmware of the printer. There are a few things you can try to clear the glitch. First of all, make sure that you have the latest firmware installed in the printer. I'll link the instructions below. If the problem is still there after that, try to do a hard and partial reset. Do the hard reset first and if that does not work, proceed to the partial reset. If none of that works, the printer is locked on the error and must be replaced.

  • HOW CAN I REPLACE EXPIRED INK CARTRIDGE IN THE PRINTER ALL IN ONE HP OFFICEJET PRO L7780?

    HOW CAN I REPLACE EXPIRED INK CARTRIDGE IN THE PRINTER ALL IN ONE HP OFFICEJET PRO L7780?

    I DO NOT PRINT A LOT AND I HAVE TWO PRINTERS. THE EXPIRATION DATE ON THE CARTRIDGE, THE PRINTER DOSE NOT LET ME PRINT. I KNOW THAT THERE IS WAY TO OVERRIDE THIS PROBLEM, BECAUSE ON MY PREVIOUS PRINTER THEY REPLACES THE KEY.

    The error message itself will remain but will continue to print. This message will remain until the cartridge is replaced. Substitution is the printer printing always regardless of the error message on the display screen.

  • HP 8500: print and scan the doctor

    When I start printing & doctor Scan, it displays a printer that I did more.  The printer has been uninstalled 2 years ago, and there is no remaining software I know.  It has an IP address, but can't get it anywhere in Control Panel to remove the inscription in Print & Scan doctor.  How this old printer and IP address can be deleted?

    FYI - doctor Scan and Print is not software listed in the Panel, it cannot be uninstalled.  Because of this, I did a little more research and found the answer.  The culprit is ProgramData/HP/Temp/NetworkDevices / [personal information deleted]

    It is a configuration parameter (text) file that displays as long no existing printer.

    In my opinion, this refers to 2 flaws.  First of all, when uninstalling the printer HP 8500, this folder should be removed as well.  As a text file is certainly not a direct harm, except when it comes to print and scan doctor.  This leads to the 2nd edition - HP print and Scan Doctor seeks evil to this configuration, rather than a real device driver file, so he reported the HP 8500 printer as existing when there isn't.  It seems to me that print and scan doctor should know the difference between a configuration file (text) and a device driver.  Clearly if all I have is a text file, there is no such printer.

    I deleted the file and then the printer immediately disappears in print and Scan of the doctor.

  • Use black ink cartridges into the two slots? HP Photosmart C4795 - no color cc = us

    Can I use black ink cartridges into the two slots? HP Photosmart C4795 - no color, to save money?

    Hey JJ - B,.

    You cannot use a black cartridge in both slots. The print head channels are different for print 3 colors in a slot vs only black print out on each other. Using black in the two slots certaining most will cause errors and possibly damage the printer.

    Is there a reason you want to run the two blacks to be with? You can still print with only the back cartridge installed.

    Good luck!

  • HP Pro 8500 printer 910 publish the connectivity / offline

    My HP Pro 8500 910 has played many years. Recently, he began to lose connectivity to the computer and disconnects when no touch button doesn't work on the printer including the power button. The doctor of scanning/printing HP said all is well, only after I have pull the plug of AC and repower save. Then, hopefully, after five minutes of inactivity printer the cycle starts again. I tried all the ten most 'no solution', nothing helps. The printer is connected to the laptop via a USB port that I moved the laptop and docking station. The only thing that I did is to uninstall and reinstall the original HP Print software. P.S. The e-print function works well and print when the printer is in "ready" mode Help!

    My HP Officejet Pro over 8500-910 'connectivity' was resolved. The current design of my product does not have the e-print function be on permanently because it prevents the restart "standby" mode. Given that this feature has been disabled the printer works fine just without the e-print software on. Thanks to the Technical Support employee, Jennifer, she was able to help diagnosis the problem.
