HP Officejet 6500 a: HP printer Officejet 6500 a is inactive and will not print

I have a HP Officejet 6500 has everything in a printer.  I recently moved to a new home, so new wireless IP address, I think that I have configured correctly according to the directives of the printed Test page.  I also have a key USB connected to print, as I hardline so when in my office for heavy work. The printer says inactive, and I can't print.

You're welcome, I'm glad that's settled.

  • My Officejet 6500 E709 all in one will not print black.

    My HP Officejet 6500 E709n all-in-one will not print black.   All other colors work very well.  Have you tried what follows - new black cartridge installed, ran the print heads clean utility, made sure the wind was compatible black ink cartridge, turned printer off and restarted.  Print tests still not print black - other colors and images to print, but not text black or shades of black in images.  Any suggestions on how to fix or what needs to be repaired?  Thank you.

    Hi jim: I just had the same problem a few minutes ago. After having gone through all the troubleshooting steps, I realized it was all just a bad cartridge. The PIN on the printer heads were not reading the new cartridge, so nothing in black print could be printed. I installed a new black cartridge and I could resume my printing projects. I then contacted the HP store directly to report the faulty cartridge while they could send me a new, that I won't be out of pocket for a cartridge I bought directly from them.

    Hope this helps you with your problem.

  • HP psc2100 series all-in-one: printer was working fine, all of a sudden its impasse on copy and will not be printed said export error

    computer printing problem saying "Error exporting" and printer saying just 1 copy.  I tried troubleshooting on mine, doesn't have the verified maintenance on the printer, but still saying error. Help, please!

    Hi @kelley22,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I see that your HP PSC 2100 printer is stuck on copy and will not be printed on Windows 8. I'm happy to help you!

    The first step, I would like to recommend is a hard reset. Please see this message, How to perform a hard reset, by @Rich1. It is very important that the power cable from the printer is plugged directly into the wall outlet, not a surge protector. See this article, questions when it is connected to an uninterruptible power supply/Strip/surge protector power, for more information. This is true for printers and ink jet.

    Once this step is finished, please try to print a self-test report, to check the printer hardware is fully functional.

    To print a self-test report, follow these steps:

    • On the product control panel, press Setup.
      The installation menu appears.
    • Press the right arrow ( ) until print report displays and then press OK. The menu print report appears.
    • Press the right arrow ( ) until the self-assessment report and press OK. The self-test report prints.

    If the test report print, then on the computer, please try our HP print and Scan Doctorand let me know what happens!

    Hope this helps and have a great day!

  • print job is stuck in the queue and will not erase

    I have a HP 4620.  I sent a print job to the computer via the network.  It will not be printed, so I tried to delete the job.  It is stuck on "deletion" and will not erase (it has been like this for days).  I tried the other options such as restart, pause etc. and it is just stuck say delete.  I restarted the computer and activated and on the printer, but can not do the work to remove.  So just now I can't print anything because new jobs will not be printed either; guess that they don't print until that first job is deleted.  Can I remove the new print jobs.  Someone at - it solution.

    Hello

    From the desktop, hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run window, type services.msc and press to enter.  Scroll down to the print spooler service, right click and select Properties, then click the Stop button.  Now search for C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS, then delete the work inside this folder - you may need to click a command prompt to get the authority to open the PRINTERS folder.

    Restart the computer and you should find that the documents have been deleted.

  • Printer is offline and will not print documents

    Printer is offline and will not print documents, the rocker switch "Printer offline" option is not available and it is constantly check on 'printer offline '.

    How can I fix this so I can print the necessary documents?

    Hello destiny.

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.

    The description of the problem seems a little unclear and I wish I had a better understanding before you start working on it. I would be grateful if you could help me with more information.

    • Is the printer connected directly to the PC or it is on a network?
    • What is a printer wired or wireless?
    • What is the brand and model of the printer?

    Try the following and see if it helps.

    Method 1: Disable Antivirus

    If you have installed any third party such as antivirus or firewall security software, I would say you temporarily disable and check if it works.

    Disable the anti-virus software

     

    Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attack.

    Method 2: Update the drivers for your printer.

    For more information, see these links:

    Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

    Find and install printer drivers
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/find-and-install-printer-drivers


    Method 3: Restart the print spooler service.

    You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.
    a. open administrative tools by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type administrative tools, and then click Administrative Tools.
    b. double-click on Services.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    c. right-click the print spooler service and then click Properties.
    d. on the general tab, next to startup type, make sure that automatic is selected.
    e. If the service is not already running, under Service status, click Start and then click OK.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation,
    type the password or provide confirmation.

    If nothing works, then manually add the printer to the local port and check.

    Method 4: Manually add the printer to the local port.

    a. go to control panel and click on devices and printers.
    b. click Add a printer, and then select Add a local printer. Click on create a new port. The default value in the drop-down list is Local Port. Don't change that.
    c. click Next.
    A dialog box appears for you request that you enter a port name. Type the name of \\computer name\printer.
    d. type your user name and the name of the printer (name \\PC\printer)
    e. click ok and exit.

  • HP Officejet 4620: Printer is in"error" and will not print, even though the computer says that it is "connected".

    My printer recently started telling me it was in a State of 'error' and could not print my documents.  Sometimes I could turn off the printer market and all that was trying to print would then print, if documents or Quicken checks.  Now I can't print from the computer at all, or it will print checks from Quicken even if I turn the printer power off and power on.  The HP Web site indicates that it is connected.  It is the second computer from HP Officejet 4620 of the original that I bought.  The first has a problem that has been covered by the warranty, and this one doesn't seem to be much better.

    Hi @Janilynn,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that the printer does not print when the computer shows that it is connected.  Please run the print and scan the doctor.

  • OfficeJet pro 8500 a: 8500 has will not stop printing

    immediately after setting up and installation of my 8500 it began printing a page with only the fraction 1/4 and a smiling face in the very top left of the page and that's all it prints, one after the other, again and again, and do not stop. If I have to cancel the printing of the touch screen, it stops the current print but restarts printing again shortly after.

    I sent a test page (page has shown in print queue), but I won't stop printing the page of fraction and smiley face.  the work queued print ever.

    There is no error before, after or during the printing of this page.

    Welcome to the HP community @gemini570,

    I understand your Officejet 8500 has constantly prints a page with a smiling face in the upper left corner, and I wanted to respond to try to help.

    Please, start by connecting your PC to the print and scan doctor and choose "print trouble." This diagnostic tool will check for all conflicts that may be causing the problem. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there is a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results.

    You can also check to see if you have Web Services enabled on the front of the printer and try to turn it off to see if the pages stop printing on.

    If the above don't help, try to uninstall the printer software , restart the computer and run the HP printer install Windows Wizard to install the printer.

    Another idea that comes to mind, would be to try stop and start the print spooler:

    1. click on start
    2. type 'Services' in the search field.
    3. open SERVICES
    4. at the bottom, click "extended view.
    5. search for the print spooler
    6. right click and choose Properties
    7. Select Automatic from the drop-down list, close the window
    8. right-click Print Spooler and select 'Stop', wait until it stops and then again right click and 'Start '.
    9. close out Services and try your print.
