  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 a: printer no longer works after reset wireless network

    OfficeJet Pro 8500 has, MacBook Pro, running the Mavericks.

    For 3 days, when we added a password and blocked our router wireless (modem ATT UVerse), our printer is "offline" print jobs queued, but do not print.  When I go and check it says "printer offline".  Or in the print queue, it is something like "looking for printer."

    He worked briefly when we found a power cord and plugged into the laptop, but will not work wireless, which he did before.    No changes except to repeat password for the network.

    I have the manual and you have turned off everything, then return in the order recommended (router, printer, then laptop).  Always offline.   Can someone please?   Thank you!

    Hello @LindaGrace,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that since to add a password to your wireless router your HP Officejet Pro 8500 has e-All-in-One Printer not communicate wirelessly with your computer Mac OS X 10.9. I would like to help you today with this problem of wireless communication.

    Now, make a change to your network, as an addition to a password or change a password, translates into having to reconfigure your printer on the wireless network. At this point your printer is to be 'blocked' access to your network wireless because of the change you made. To correct this problem, you simply raise the Setup wireless for your printer to "say" the printer network name and password. Once the wireless installation runs successfully all will continue to work for you according to the normal.

    To run the Wireless Setup Wizard on your printer, please follow the steps below.

    1. On the touch screen of the printer, press the right arrow key () to display the second navigation screen.
    2. Press network () to open the network Menu.
    3. Touch Wireless.
    4. Press the Wireless Setup Wizard, and then press continue.
    5. Please wait while the printer is looking for the routers that are nearby. Appears in the menu Select Network (SSID) .
    6. Scroll the list of network names until you find the name of your network.
    7. Tap the name of your network.
    8. If you are prompted, enter the WEP or WPA key. This is the password for your wireless network. The password is case-sensitive.
    9. Wait for the printer to connect to the network

    -Source

    Once your printer is connected to your network again, please try to print. If printing still fails, you need to add the printer to your Mac because of the connection of network new printers. Please follow the steps below to add the printer to the Mac.

    1. click on the menu of Apple , then Preferences System.

    2. click on Print & Scanand then check if the name of your printer appears in the printer list.

    3. If your printer is already listed, remove and re-add the printer to check the communication with the Mac. Click on the name of your printer, click the minus sign (), and then delete the printer

    4. click on the plus sign (), click Add a printer or a Scanner, click the name of your printer

    5. click Add to add the printer to the list.

    Now that the printer is properly configured on your network and added to the Mac, please try again to print wireless.

    Please reply to this message with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!

  • Printer no longer works correctly. When I try to print nothing happens, the documents are waiting but the printer is offline.

    I reinstalled the printer three times. It works fine when I first install it, and then when I try to use it later it will not be printed. I ran the resolution of problems and there was a problem it could not fix. The last time that I used it, I was trying to print, nothing happened. About an hour or two later the printer came herself and documents printed on its own. I was not even at the computer. I had the printer installed more than a year without any problems. This just started happening. The only thing I can think who might have caused it comes from our modem died and we had to replace recently.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L305-S5957 computer laptop, Windows 7, 32-bit and the printer is a MFC-495CW brothers. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m: I have already upgraded to Windows 10 not knowing my printer wouldn't work - now what?

    My printer no longer works. He said: it is not connected. It's a WiFi printer but I actually plugged in with a USB cable and it still won't print.

    I have seen rhe messages saying to wait at least 6 months after the release of Windows 10 for set to level, but as not, HP users were warned before the release of Windows 10, I already updated.

    My son was also a computer HP laptop that had problems with WiFi after upgrade, but a simple reg edit mentioned on your forum fixed that.

    Is this what can I do to use my printer before January? I think that it is an unreasonable amount of the time-out; especially that HP has never notified users to wait.

    HP must have published something of a fix because I downloaded an update this morning and voila - my printer now works as a printer wrieless!

  • Windows Update 8.1 - now my LaserJet P1005 printer will not work (AGAIN!)

    I have a HP laserjet P1005 printer, whose yeaterday was work happliy in window 8. I downloaded 8.1 last night and the printer no longer works!

    With the window of printer status open (through the control panal windows) the details of the document are displayed briefly when you click on the button print. Nothing happens at the end of the printer. Theres nothing wrong with the printer as I can use it on a laptop without problem.

    Driver Hp downloads link it "seem" a driver for the 8.1 but I think it's only version 8.0 wrongly labeled.

    I am sick to death with HP. It took them more than 1 year to untangle a driver for Windows 8, and it blocks as soon as Microsoft tweek their BONES.

    Does anyone have any ideas how this can be solved? HP seem to be abandoned as a fundamental value customer - I have not buy one of their products again.

    Hi again - finally got it works!

    I downloaded the software from the link... again. Still no joy

    Remove the printer from the computer devices. Then downloaded the link... again. The computer had the printer appears as a device.

    Then...

    I started again from scratch:

    Reinstalled the 'original' driver from the boot disk. (the driver from the link above must have still been present).

    Printer on stream.

    Very happy.
