Cannot start the HP printing software (HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 A910a)

Hello

When I double-click the icon of the HP software on my desktop behavior strange results. Nothing opens and my computer behaves erratically. After a while I get the following error messages:

instancefinderdlg.exe

werfault.exe

Then after that - my computer restarts so all by himself. But not a complete reboot - it just goes back to the initial logon screen and I get my password from Windows and displays the desktop.

I am running Windows Pro 8.1 (64-bit). The printer is set to work wireless.

After doubleclicking on the HP software icon and wait for the software to open, as I mentioned above, one thing I tried was a ctrl-alt-del and open Task Manager. I checked the services running, and there were multiple instances of a service life of HP (I not only remember the name but there seems to be dozens of the same HP service running).

I also completely uninstalled all HP software use Revo Uninstaller and then reinstalled the software / driver for the OfficeJet Pro 8500 A910a - but this package did not make a difference; exactly the same problem occurred again.

It happened only in recent days. Before that, I could double-click the HP software icon and open normally and I was able to check the settings, ink levels, etc. Interestingly, the printer seems to always work well - I can print in Word, print photos from Lightroom, etc. Just, I can't open my desktop HP printing software.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi jedasa,

I guess you can start to feel frustrated. I did some additional research and would like to try a few things. I want to delete the printer Assistant icon, open devices and printers, right-click on your printer and choose open. In the window that opens, please right-click on the Printer Wizard and click on create a shortcut. Now we can go to the desktop and see if it will be open from there. The icon will now by HP in a blue circle and say HP Printer Wizard below (see image below).  If it opens and works, we use this going forward, but if it does not continue with the steps below.

  1. Hold down the Windows Logo key ( ) on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the dialog box run, type %temp%
  2. Delete all files and folders in the temp folder. Choose Skip if all pop ups seem to say all files cannot be deleted
  3. Unplug the USB cable (if connected), open programs and features, click Editor (all HP software will be together now) and uninstall all software associated with the printer. You fill find the basic driver, study for improvement of the product, HP Officejet 8500 help. Be sure to do not uninstall other HP software, especially if your computer is a HP computer. I generally use the date as a reference. Printing software would have all been installed on the same date.
  4. Once the uninstall is complete, reboot the computer
  5. Follow these steps to reset the registry settings and options for Windows Installer.

  • 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.

  • Ethernet connection in the back of a HP Officejet Pro 8500

    When I bought my printer 3 years ago, I NEVER thought that I would need a printer capable of wifi.  Surprise!

    I thought I had read that you could buy wifi adapters to allow a wifi component.  Made a few calls and told me that there is no such thing.

    A salesman asked if my 8500 had an Ethernet connection on the back.  I didn't, but when I got home, it is there, just at the edge of the printer, "Ethernet".  According to the seller at OfficeMax, I can connect an Ethernet cable from the printer to my router and which would allow me to use the printer with my laptop and the Droid Razr.  Yes?

    So I just have to run a cable from the printer to the router and follow (I hope) on the orientation of the screen?

    I know I have to download a printer on my phone app.

    I have I am on the right track PATH out of it?

    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Monica

    Yes, the connection to the network cable would allow you to print from your PC and phone (with an appropriate application).  After connecting search for a program under Start, all programs, HP, HP Officejet Pro 8500 and search for the file "printer setup".  Run this and select "add a new printer.

  • Want to b/w standard printing only - HP Officejet Pro 8500 Plus.

    Only - want b & w HP Officejet Pro 8500 more.

    I wonder how to enable this machine to use the black and white ALWAYS mm cartridge.

    I heard that the printer can use color cartridges even if I print in black only. I want to save color to photo print cartridges only.

    How can I ensure this? I can't find all the settings in the printer display saying "use black and white printing.

    And if there is a setting somewere therefor; which "desides" setting - if I have after setting b/w printing standard, chosen color in print for a photo windows? I need never color printing except if I print a photo.

    I also wonder if there is a way around the situation when a color is empty, and print black and white ends...! ?

    Help appreciated!

    You ask the most difficult

    It depends on what you are printing. I don't think that any printer uses much (if any) color with shades of gray.

    However, if tell you him to use black and white only (generally an option after clicking on the checkbox in grayscale), it will not print anything but black. The bad thing about this is that sometimes you can lose part of what you print if there are photos or font color in what you want to print. Anything that is not considered by the application as a true black could not appear in print.

    It could work well, if you're careful, but you may sometimes have something missing in the printout.

  • Problems with the operation of the Second paper tray - HP Officejet Pro 8500 has more

    I just bought a second paper cartridge for my HP Officejet Pro 8500 has more. It shows up on my printer paper tray 2.  However, I can't understand how to go between the paper trays to get items to print from the individual trays.  A choice should not result when I click on PRINT?  Or if I should not be able to set up a default tray for printing on letter size, but be able to change in the other side, when I want to print an envelope?

    I will be happy to help you with this problem.

    The 2nd test is an accessory. It is not downloaded in the drivers. You will need to do the 2nd tray DEFAULT tray for stationery. Go to your settings on the printer. Choose Preferences and go to the default tray.

    The envelopes and any other type of paper in addition to the letter will be put in TRAY 1.

    Let me know how it goes.

  • Cannot delete the HP printing software

    Try to remove the hp Windows software Panel 8 and reinstall from the disc. Receive message that says 'my printer a pending jobs', but the printer has been removed from the screen "devices and printers". I left a few fragments somewhere? Thanks in advance.

    Hello-

    Have you tried refreshing the page printers and devices to see if the icon shows up?

    In addition, restart the PC. Then go back to the devices and printer and look for the printer icon.

    If this does not work, try the following steps:

    1. First stop the print spooler. If you try to copy or delete all the items in this folder, the print spooler is started, you will get an error indicating that the items are in use.
    2. Go to C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS. Usually, when you get to the PRINTERS folder, you will get a pop-up message indicating that you need administrator permission to enter the folder, and you need to do is to support to continue.
    3. There will be two elements in the file for each item in the print queue.
    4. If you copy the print queue, Ctrl + A to select everything in the folder, copy all the elements. Create another folder on the desktop and paste the items in this folder. (If you want to manually remove the job queue instead, you can simply remove the items at this time here.)
    5. Start the print spooler upward.
    6. You can uninstall and reinstall the printer at that time here.

    I hope this helps.

  • Complete software for Officejet Pro 8500 A909a

    I did a factory reset on a Windows 7 machine (64-bit), something I've done on this machine several times before.  In the past I didn't much trouble to get the object printer drivers and the software loaded.  This period was very difficult... in fact impossible at this stage.  I try to get the full software loaded, I think it's called the HP Solution Center, which places an icon on my desktop and I get many more features for the printer.

    I tried to download the wizard and it seems that he will do the trick, but then stops with an error:

    Your download has been cancelled

    You can try to download it again by clicking Retry.

    It won't load.

    In the past, I downloaded a file and it worked sucessefully (although I seem to remember that, as the years pass, getting the printer and software will takes more effort).  The file that worked in the past is:

    OJP8500vA909_Full_14.exe

    I can't find on the internet to download again.  Any suggestions?

    I have download saved the last time that I needed him... Although it is just a folder with several subfolders and files.  I have no idea now had to find the .exe to run... so, so far, this folder and is useless for me.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Please do not use Wizard, use the normal web browser to download the following file:

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL31041/MP-88604-3/OJP8500vA909_Full_14.exe

    It is around 300 Mb

  • M651: Cannot download the HP printing software

    So for the last few months we have had serious problems trying to download the HP software and drivers from the HP support center. We have been able to the squeek by using older drivers and manually configure printers via web interfaces.

    However, today, we have an essential asset, which is getting an error, and apparently the patch will update the firmware of the printer (I'm talking about 99.09.67 error).

    So we have an asset that is down and we are unable to download the firmware from the HP website, located HERE.

    If there is any work around this very frustrating issue and nature, please let me know.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I am able to download the firmware file on the HP site without any problems, the downloaded file immediately within 2 minutes.

    Try to download the firmware directly from the following link and check if this can work:

    http://FTP.HP.com/pub/softlib/software13/COL54097/FP-130552-9/cljM651_fw_2307851_000048.zip

    FTP://FTP.HP.com/pub/softlib/software13/COL54097/FP-130552-9/cljM651_fw_2307851_000048.zip

    If one of these fails, with that I suggest trying another browser or a download manager, if even he still can help by communicating your guys TI and check if there could be no matter what local issue preventing your access to the site as the site of HP do not work as expected...

  • Satellite C660 - cannot start the facial recognition software

    When I try to run face recognition software I get a window saying to contact my administrator - I have the status of administration on the Satellite C660 laptop.

    Research forum that I found did not help in any time I try and follow the advice, I still get the same message. The laptop is new.

    Hello

    I think that this tool is confusing upward in some way. Therefore, the first thing that should be judged is a new software installation. I recommend you to uninstall this tool first.
    You can do it is Panel-> software

    After the uninstall, it would be recommended to clean the registry. This can be done by using a software like CCleaner.
    After that, download Toshiba face recognition software pilot European page and install again.

    Good luck

    The only thing to do would be to format and reinstall the OS.  It's a little extreme, but it should work.  I'm sorry, but that's the last thing I know to try.  If you try this, make sure that you back up all your data.  Good luck.
