• 8500 will not print Yellow

  I have a HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless all-in-one printer and I can't seem to print the yellow color. I have cleaned the print heads (manually, as well as through the machine), calibrated their, them aligned and installed nine original cartridges HP... all colors. The printer recognized the original the new HP ink cartirdges and shows them to 100% of its capacity of ink... I have prnted a test page and cannot get yellow to print... all other colours print fine... I did a test print page General windows and still no yellow.

  I need print some important documents and the cards and need yellow to work and am frustrated that it does not work... Can anyone help me ID a problem I can fix and advise what's happening here?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hey @MtnSquid,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!
  
  I would like to help you today to identify the problem with the yellow ink not print on your HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless all-in - One Printer. First of all, I would like to thank you for the detail that you included in your post about troubleshooting you have already completed the steps. You have already run through the troubleshooting steps recommended to solve this problem of print quality.

  Now at this moment I think that your problem is your black and yellow print head. Because you have already replaced your cartridges, cleaned and aligned to your printing system we know at this time that the yellow cartridge is defective. The black and the print head yellow is what controls the black and yellow cartridges for printing. Because the yolk still does not question must lie with this print head.

  According to the HP Support document: solve print quality problemsonce the following steps are performed:

  • Solution: use genuine HP cartridges
  • Solution 2: Check paper
  • Solution 3: Check the print settings
  • Solution 4: print and evaluate a Diagnostics Page of print quality
  • Solution 5: Check the image

  The last step is to "replace one or two print heads. In this model of printer, you have a Cyan-Printhead Magenta and black and Yellow Printhead. As I said previously, because this problem only affects your yellow cartridge that your problem lies in the black and yellow print head.

  You can buy the black and yellow print head locally or hpshopping.ca: black and HP 940 yellow print head Original. The part number is C4900A and it cost about $64.99 before taxes.

  However, be aware that there is always the chance that this print head does not solve your problem of yellow quality because this may be the beginning of your print system failure. If the new printhead fails to solve your problem to a replacement printer would be necessary.

  If you want to explore alternative options, I would recommend that you contact our Technical Support telephone queue.

  HP Technical Support can be reached at the: 800-474-6836.

  Please let me know if this post will help you. I can't wait to hear strings attached good luck!

• New wireless brother MFC-495 does not print Windows XP laptop

  Similar to other issues but quite different:

  1 installed the printer on the desktop that does not have wireless using the USB port.  Prints.

  2nd software installed on my laptop wireless.  I can see the printer in the Printers folder, it says ready, but will not be printed.  Printer has been implemented with the SSID, etc. and has even an indicator that it's getting the wireless signal.  I know that the laptop is wireless or I would not be writing from it now.

  How do I get my laptop and printer to really talk to each other?  BTW, my wireless router works fine from my phone runs Android on it.  Power doesn't have to be on the desktop for this.

  I really don't want the computers on the network since I will be out of the office, but so far the system made me do in my attempts to get the printer to print wireless.

  I have all the IP addresses, but rather would not provide them.  Had problems with the protection of privacy on several fronts recently.

  When I go to printers and faxes, I have several printers 'shared' here.  Probably because I installed the drivers for the printer on the desktop and laptop.  Regardless, none of the printers to print from the laptop from the desktop computer.  The port on one is "roselaptop": Port TCP/IP Standard.  The other is COM4: serial port.  I have 2 computers on a network as a network home and figured that should solve the problem.  The laptop is the "residential gateway" in the network set up.  Looks like I should be able to add this wireless printer to the network.  It's playback a signal very well.

  I'll try to disconnect the USB cable from the desktop computer and see what happens.

  Thank you for all your detailed descriptions that have helped me!

  You are currently too caveats regarding the IP addresses, but may help the following:

  When you have a router, the ONLY IP address that is "seen" by the rest of the Internet is one assigned to your router by your ISP.  The router assigns IP addresses to the devices to the 'internal' - your LAN - that's why they are called "private" IP addresses  There are three blocks of these private IP addresses: 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255; 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255; and 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255.  Almost every router uses the third block (which has the smallest number of possible addresses).  And almost every default router uses is 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.0.255 or 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.255.

  Regardless a block of IP addresses used by your router, it is important that all devices are on the same subnet.  For example, if the default gateway (which is the local IP address of the router) is 192.168.1.1, then your computer AND the printer must have the form 192.168.1.x IP addresses.  If your default gateway is 192.168.0.1, then others should be 192.168.0.x.

  The difference between a shared printer and a network printer, the shared printer is a "resource" of a computer that is connected to the network.  In order to access a shared resource (if it is a file on the hard disk of the computer, or a printer attached to the computer by a cable of USB, series or parallel), the computer that "owns" the resource must be turned on and connected to the network.

  In your original post, you said that you had a wireless router.  This is the typical way that specific set up networks.  It is inconsistent, however, describing your laptop as the residential gateway.  Maybe say you you see an icon called "Residential gateway" laptop "My Network Places."  If so, this icon represents your router.

  Your description of the ports is also confused.  Usually, when you configure a port for the printer, the port name is the name you give to the printer - not the laptop.  But what is important here is that the IP address displayed on the screen 'Set up the Port' for the port of "TCP/IP Standard" that the printer uses (the one with the box), must be the same as the IP address assigned to the printer (which you find in print 'report Network Configuration' from the control panel of the printer).

• LaserJet 6 L shows ready but will not print from computer

  My LaserJet 6 L works fine, but just today he's leaving the impression.  Green ready light is lit, but sign says 'paper.'  There is paper in and it will print the test page for each slot.  Cannot print spreadsheet, word processing, or WordPad, PC running Windows XP.  A second printer (HP Deskjet 4215) prints fine - USB connection.  How to test to see if my printer cable does not?

• HP 8500 will not print the data of the Internet/Email

  HP 8500 A909a - bought the new laptop HP with Windows 7 - 64 bit, installed new drivers from the HP site, but cannot print from internet e-mail. Can print from notepad and Word. The diagnostic utility tool indicates that all is well. I use a USB to connect to the printer. I had no impression of older PC problem.

  Hello CB8500

  It is a known problem in Internet Explore 64-bit, there missis plugins required to print from a Web site or Web mail. To resolve this issue, Microsoft has installed a 32-bit version of internet explore as well in any 64-bit operating system. Then start the 32-bit internet Explorer try to print then. Most likely, it would work.

  My mfc 3360C will not scan to my computer.  my ink is almost empty, which would prevent the printer to scan?

  Hi Jmaccoux,

  ·         What happens when you try to scan? You get no matter what error code or error message?

  Empty ink does not prevent the printer from the analysis of the files or documents.

  Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

  Method 1: I suggest you to uninstall the currently installed drivers and install compatible drivers with the operating system from the link of the manufacturer provided below. Check if installation of the printer from the link below drivers pass solve you the problem.

• Computer Vista will not print to Deskjet 930c on home network

  Our three computers (Vista is A, B, and C are XP) are connected to a wired network of private home.  Computer A has a Canon printer that is shared and all 3 computers can print to that very well.  Recently, we re-gasket a printer HP DeskJet 930C to computer B (via USB) and shared.  Computers, B and C can be printed on the HP very well.

  But, even if A computer can see the printer, it will not print.  He seems to accept the print command and sometimes a dialog box flashes on and so quickly as it cannot be read, but nothing prints.

  I worked through the Microsoft article "File and sharing printers in Windows Vista" at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx#mainSection and you don't see anything that solves the problem.  I ran the doctor of printing & scanning HP and who wrote the 930C is installed but not connected.  According to the website of HP, Vista has the correct driver.  I have uninstalled and installed the printer from computer A, but it still does not work.

  So I called HP Support, and they said that I had done all the right things, and "it must be a registry problem.  This seems unlikely to me, and I don't know where to look in the registry.

  Any ideas or solutions?

  Hello

  Windows XP sharing can be done automatically in XP or operating systems, XP does not host the drivers for the newer Vista operating systems and so you will have problems with some models.

  To manually add the shared printer, follow these steps:

  1. install the printer locally in following second method: connecting the cable in parallel below:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01655752

  2. go into your PC host (computer B), right click my computer and select Properties.

  Find the name of computer on this screen.

  3. go in Control Panel > printers and faxes.

  Right-click on the printer and select Properties.

  Open the tab end hand note the share name

  Note: I would say keeping the name of sharing as simple as possible (e.g., 930C)

  4. go to your Vista machine and open Control Panel > printers.

  Click with the right button on the 930c configured in step 1 and select Properties.

  Open the Ports tab.

  Click Add a new port.

  In this list, select Local Port.

  Set the local port in the form of \\Computer B Name\Printer share name (for example \\PC-P\930c).

  Confirm the changes and check any change.

  If you have still any question, I would say that the printer is connected to the Vista machine, then share it with the XP PC and check for any changes that should run more easily from my experience.

• Printer HP 6210 all in one will not print computer

  My HP6210 all in one printer will not print from a computer that has Vista. My operating system is Windows. The printer worked fine with my old laptop that did not have Vista. However, as soon as I have my Phoenicia connected, which has Vista, it will not print. My computer doesn't work anymore so I need to use hers. What can I do to make it work? Thank you

  Beeky27

  Hi @Beeky27,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I noticed that your HP Officejet 6210 won't print from your Windows Vista computer. I am pleased to see that for you!

  First of all, I would make sure that the full feature software and drivers are installed, by downloading it from this link: HP full feature software and drivers. Then I would run the HP print and Scan Doctor, to ensure that everything works.

  Let's start with these steps and go from there!

  I hope this helps!

  If you USB, most of the time, the PC will recognize what printer is which. Sometimes PORTS does not commute. You can manually change the correct ports if necessary.

  CLICK ON THE MENU START

  1 devices and printers

  2 right CLICK on the printer

  4. click on PORTS

  5. There will be a list of ports with one (checked marked). If it's on the wrong port, change to the right pair and choose APPLY.

  (NOTE: it must ALWAYS be on a USB port or a wireless connection.) Some ports wireless start with a #(adresse IP) or a SERIAL number)

  I hope this helps. Sometimes, you can create your own port if you have more questions.
