HP Officejet 6500 a shared printer cannot add computer network to send scan

HP Officejet 6500 a is shared on my network by another computer. I can print to the printer, but I am not able to scan directly to my computer. I can't add another computer in the options of scan on the front panel of HP. I use Microsoft Windows XP Professional 2002. I also downloaded the installation CD on my hard drive, tried to search by IP address, but always without success. Is it possible to add another computer for instructions to scan, if I'm not connected to the HP printer?

Hey kapua99,

If you use the printer in shared USB mode to access over the network, then it will only support basic printing.  Shared network printers allow no detection on the share path.

If you want to scan from multiple computers on the network, so I recommend linking the Officejet 6500 a directly to the network.  For more information about how to install the printer on an Ethernet network or wireless, click on the link below.

Hope this helps,

  • Jobs FRUSTRATED stuck in the queue on Officejet 6500 with IP printing

    I'm especially frustrated because I just typed in many details, and when I click on "Preview" my text disappeared. Thank you, HP!

    Like others, I have an Officejet 6500 E709n. Print a test page, the diagnosis, the HP printer utility page, I cannot print any document. "They simply wander in the queue with the message host ' 192.168.2.6 network ' is busy. retrying in 10 seconds... forever. Yes, I tried to delete and add the printer again and he gets found very well.

    I can print with USB.

    I can print with Hello (but which is slow, so I turned off)

    It's okay if my OS X 10.5.8 laptop is connected wirelessly or through ethernet.

    The printer is connected to the router Wireless Ethernet. At the present time, my mac is connected to the same router by ethernet. I just started the HP printer utility and printed page setup very well, showing the ink levels.

    I'm guessing that it is a problem of intellectual property, and that the HP printer utility uses a different protocol to connect to the printer. Yes?

    Fine, I can print from Windows 7 computer that is connected by ethernet on the same network. IP addresses are correctly reserved.

    Please, someone help. I have a forthcoming major surgery and won't be able to walk upstairs to the office, so I really want to be able to print wireless from below. I bet once wired print jobs, the wirelss go, too.

    (1) system preferences > Print & Fax

    2) click your printer

    3) click on the Options button & supplies

    4) click on the driver tab at the top

    (5) in 'print using... '. "drop-down, choose Select printer software...

    (6) locate HP OfficeJet Pro L7700 in the list

    I followed the instructions to turn my printer OfficeJet OfficeJet Pro L7700 6500n driver. Let the JetDirect Protocol.

    Now I can print when connected to the Ether - and I can print duplex. AND I can print wireless.

    To sum up: If your print jobs stuck in the queue to print on a HP OfficeJet 6500n, but you can ping the printer or you connect via the HP printer utility, the following workaround solution:

    Change the IP to JetDirect Protocol

    Change the 6500n to OfficeJet Pro L7700 OfficeJet printer driver.

    My HP officejet 6500 will not print in colour without black.  I tried to run diagnostics, turning on/off, changing the cartridge, mop up the cart - ink, withdrawal and the cartridges, printing a test page.  All to nothing does not.

    I continued to deepen the forum and found what was a soluntion for me.  I went to the configuration selected, then went to tools, it chose and then select printhead cleaning.  The first time that he clean the printhead, I only got six rectangles colored at the bottom of the test page printed.  My screen then asked if I wanted to get another clean process and I said YES.  Low and behold, the test print page not only the FCMA out with 6 colored rectangles but also tons of alphabets in black.  Hooray! His works again.  Hope this works for you.

  • Win7 x 64 install an Officejet 6500 has MORE. Cannot print

    Win7 x 64 install an Officejet 6500 has MORE. Printer is connected to the wireless very well. Win7 x 64 computer can ping and see the printer on the network.

    Get a message error everytime I try to print saying: "it cannot connect to the printer.

    Same computer can connect to the printer and to view and modify settings wireless very well.

    I guess it's a problem with Win7 x 64. I need to fix this before to decide to take back to Costco and exchange for the Canon I almost branch instead. HP you have always had driver problems, but still? Really!

    Has taken over the crappy HP. Picked up a Canon PIXMA MX882 instead. Impeccable installation, in 10 min I'm printing, scanning, fax wireless with not a single question.

    I am VERY disappointed with HP and its incompatibility with Win7 x 64 drivers. Don't advertise your crap software is compatible, when it is not! I lost hours of my personal time, trying to get HP to work then most of time taking the piece of crap back (I really like the hardware of the printer - software "guys really?"). I will never buy another HP printer. And on the Canon Wireless Setup was easier. A button called easy set up on top of the printer and BAM done. * beep * HP, * beep * indeed.

  • OfficeJet 6500 a Plus: printer shows as a fax machine

    Hi @Swissmizz,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I see that your printer of HP Officejet 6500 a more re-won't add to the Mac as a printer, as a fax machine. I'd be happy to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution" if I helped successfully will solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

    I understand the frustration you are experiencing. HP doesn't have the full functionality of software and drivers for Mac OS X 10.10. Apple has a software update for the HP Officejet 6500 E710n driver, but it is only the print driver.

    That being said. I recommend reset us the printing system and add new printer using the driver update from Apple.

    Reset the printing system:

    To begin, I will have you reset the printing system on your Mac. Please click herefor instructions on how to perform the reset. When the site opens, follow the steps under"Reset printing in OS X Lion system" because the steps are the same for Mac OS X 10.10. This Reset deletes each printer on your Mac. However, it does not uninstall printers. Therefore, if use you other printers on the Mac, once the reset is complete simply make sure printers are attached via a USB cable or connected network and (+) add hide them po do not add your HP Officejet in now.

    Check and repair your Mac disk permissions:

    1. Open Macintosh HD and go to Applications
    2. Go to the Utilities folder
    3. Open disk utility
    4. Select the hard disk volume, you use (usually on the left)
    5. Select verify disk permissions
    6. Once this process is complete, select repair disk permissions

    Once the reset complete, restart the Mac.

    Uninstall the drivers and the software (if installed):

    Please click here to find out how to properly uninstall your printer. Once the site opens, select the drop-down list 'Mac OS X v10.6, OS X v10.7, OS X v10.8 and OS X v10.9' and follow the steps under two method to complete uninstallation.

    Once the uninstall is complete, please continue on.

    Check the Apple updates:

    1. Go to the Apple
    2. Select System Preferences
    3. Select software update
    4. Click update now
    5. Install your available updates
    6. Computer restart

    Add device:

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

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

    3. click on the name of your printer, click the sign minus (), then remove the printer.

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

    5. click on the area of use or with the help of Print and then select the name of your printer on the shortcut menu. Ensure that the Officejet driver is selected.

    6. click Add to add the printer to the list. Do not add the AirPrint driver.

    7. try to print again.

  • OfficeJet 6500 has more printing problems

    My Officejet 6500 has more (model CN557A) is connected through the USB port.  My operating system is XP.    I can scan my computer, I can copy and print from the printer control panel, but I can't send anything to print from my computer.  This problem just started about 3 days ago.  I tried troubleshooting but I have not received the case.  I did not add new programs, and I have 194 GB free on my hard drive.

    Can anyone help?

    N ° however, I accidentally discovered the problem.  I had a card reader connected to my computer to download pictures.  Apparently it disrupted the cycle of printing for my printer.  I removed the card reader and the printer works fine now.  Thank you for your response.

    I seem to be going round in circles here for any help/advice anyone can offer would be appreciated.

    This morning, I tried to add a printer, and - as the magic - my printer appears in the window by default. Quickly, I added, print a test page, and then other PDF via Preview. Awesome! Then I tried to print a poster with Acrobat Reader, and I'm back for the message "printer not connected" that marked the beginning of my problems a week ago. Again, I have reset the printing system, even reinstalled two versions (more recent and earlier) drivers. I can ping the printer, but cannot add via IP either.

    I searched more problems and solutions print, but in vain.

  • OfficeJet 6500 will not print black

    Hello

    I have an Officejet 6500 AIO which allows to print any color over black. We have already replaced the black toner cartridge, ran an alignment (which failed), and 1st and 2nd printhead level cleaning, with no improvement made. I searched online HP even sells no more replacement for this model print heads, and those that I could find other suppliers cost half the price of a new printer.

    Anything else I can try before calling, she leaves and replace the whole unit?

    Thank you

    Dave

    If the suggestion of Print_Hint does not resolve the problem, you can try to soak the print head in warm water for a few minutes as described in this post.

  • OfficeJet 6500 has MORE printing problem

    Welcome to the mike325 forums

    I saw your post on your Officejet 6500 more model cut your impressions. I suggest an alignment running on the printer to see if that helps. You can also run the HP print and Scan Doctor to solve printing problems and that the tool can help to clear up the problem.

    To help alignment, click here and scroll down until "step 5: align the print head": align print head
