Hello Hewlett-Packard

I have an error message you bringing on the
HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless
Driver for Windows 7 printer platform.

This bug only exists on the Windows 7 platform
and not on Windows XP.

I was hired to install the
HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless yesterday.
I have installation, installed, set up the printer.
I configured the printer to run
Wireless network with gateway router
SSID and WPA key and it went smoothly.
I installed the printer for
address fixed LAN IP 192.168.1.197
and I configured the gateway routers
DHCP pool to go until 192.168.1.195
for not to disclose the IP address of the printer.

On a new laptop Lenovo running Windows XP
running on the same wireless network that I installed
software of the printer from Windows XP/Vista driver disk provided.
It worked fine with functions of printer and scanner.
I could also press the Scan button the
the printer front panel and choose the laptop
and then the printer starts and automatically starts the scanner
software upward on the laptop. Thus, it works beautifully.

So I should install the printer on your desktop.
A new Lenovo desktop computer running Windows 7 32 bit.
This desktop computer also works on the same wireless network.
I installed the driver from the disk Windows 7driver to the address provided.
Installation may well see the printer on the wireless network.
I might send a print job to the printer.
But it does not scan.

I have tried both:

-To start a computer scan job.

The scanner respond briefly to run the scanner carriage
down on where it should begin to start to
to scan, then it stopped all communication.
He sits for a while and then finally there will be an error message
No communication to the scanner, which had the error code:

4, [(2,7,80040007), (3,7,0)]

-J' also tried to press the "Scan" button
on the front panel on the printer and then go through
options that are displayed on the screen on the front printers.

It said on the screen before she had no scan options.
On the computer, it showed a message
We should update the list of LCD on the screen of the printer.

I did it with the help of the HP solution center text.
I found where I could update the scan job type options.
I could add/remove them. Then, I sent to the printer.
Analytical work was then on the display of fine printers.
The same error: Scanner carriage moves down to the other end
the scanner then stops all communications from there.

I tried to google the number of problem and error.
I found several other users with the same problem we had.
I could see a webpage that people could download
the latest printer driver, then it should resolve itself.

The provided disks were
-Disk with drivers for Windows XP and Vista
-Disk with drivers for Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit)

The drive for Windows 7 has been driver version 13.0.0
and I could download the driver 140.0 version (English)
(I guess that's v.14.0)

So I downloaded this driver package.
(I downloaded it 28 October 2010)

First of all, I uninstalled all THE HP drivers and software on Windows 7
and then did a reboot of Windows 7.

Then I started to install the new version 14 of the pilot.
The installation went without problems.
But this driver has the same BUG than the previous driver.

I went to the new driver HP Web site
and downloaded all the updates that were available and
installed to them all and still no luck with the problem of scanning.

I had Windows Firewall turned off completely all the time.
It is therefore not the firewall blocking anything.
The connection to the printer is good because print jobs worked well all the time.

Then I would try to connect the printer with USB cable
the computer fixed Lenovo, to see if there was a difference.
I have re-set up the printer so that I got the printer available
by USB connection.
It prints very well and can scan fine if
I put the computer starting a scan job.

But if I pressed the "Scan" button on the front panel
then came the SAME error as before.
When in the list of type of scan on the front panel of the printer
has been chosen and then began the cariage scanners
towards the other end of the scanner.
Then he started by the scanner to the computer software
Then, when we pressed either the scanning/Scan now on the front panel
on the printer OR we pressed the scan button to start the scanner software
on the computer. Then the scanner stopped after awhile and communication
then the error message appears again.

The wireless network is running a
D - Link router with wireless access point.
SSID: alsikkevej10 (not hidden, no special characters)
Encryption: WPA - PSK (WPA1-PSK/TKIP)
Shared key: xxxxxxxx (with no special characters)

CONCLUSION:
This means that the error (bug) persists in HP
Driver software the feature scanner for Windows 7 platform.

When I tested it, I had the Windows Firewall turns off completely.
It's had that nothing blocked in this way.
Wireless worked well because we could always print.

The Lenovo laptop could always
printing AND scanning over the wireless connection

Both analyze the types of employment has worked on the laptop:
-A started from the "Scan" button on the front panel of the printer.
-Started from the scanner on laptop computer software.

So scan works fine on Windows XP but NOT on Windows 7 platform.

I would like to hear from you when you have solved the problem,
so that we can it works as it should do.

HP, please respond to an e-mail.

Sincerely,
Graphics & new media designer

I talked to technical support. I mentioned a level 2 technician. He told me that most of these problems is caused by a bad operating system and reinstalling it would do. I got back up, restore the operating system, restore the data and reinstall all my programs, but he was right about the problem to solve. Seems a lot of work to get the scanner to work, but my computer is slow and refreshing it anyway. Moreover, the level 2 technician also said that they would recommend to reinstall the OS every 6 months. Not so sure I want to spend hours 4 or more on this process, but my computer works certainly better!

  • OfficeJet 6500: wireless printing capability lost with 10 Windows

    I recently updated two laptop computers for windows 10.  Initially, the two were able to connect wirelessly to my printer Officejet 6500.  Both have lost this ability after two weeks.  A third bought with windows installed 10 also connected wireless laptop at first but has lost this ability.  The pc seems to think that the printer is offline or disconnected or turned off.  I downloaded the latest software of the printer and the installation cannot find the printer or does not accept the IP address on the Configuration Page of HP (192.168.1.4) network.  Network diagnostic stage think that the printer's IP address is 169.254.204.249.  Turn on the printer and does not solve the problem.  HP Print and doctor Scan was without help.  Printer has full function when it is connected via a USB cable.  I tried most of the recommendations I could find, but none helped.

    Just an update.  The problem is solved itself.  All three laptops found a wireless connection to the printer without additional action by myself.

  • OfficeJet 6500 Wireless: Win 7 driver for wireless available?

    Running Windows 7... followed the instructions to install the drivers by swabbing with USB printer.  Is a wireless driver available?  If this isn't the case, when it will be available for download?

    There are 2 ways you can configure the wireless printer without the software. You must run the printer Wireless Setup Wizard by pressing Setup > network settings > Wireless Setup Wizard. Another way is to temporarily connect the printer with an ethernet cable. Then print the Network Configuration Page to get the IP address. Browse Printers ' then incorporated web page by typing the IP address in a web browser. Once you're on this page, you can run the Wireless Setup Wizard in the network menu, or specify the wireless settings manually. Once that is done, go to printers and devices > add a printer > add a network printer or wireless, and it should find the printer on the network and allow you to print automatically.

    It is unfortunate that our efforts have been in vain. You can certainly try one of my previously recommended solutions again, but there is no certainty that the issue will be not permanent.

    I brought your question to the attention of a team within HP. They are likely to ask for information from you to get your information or product serial number. Please search for a private message from a contact HP identified. Also, remember not to publicly post information and series numbers.

    While the basic print driver is built into Windows 7, HP has yet to release the complete software for the all-in-one OfficeJet 6500 Wireless.  Exactly when this installation of the complete set of software will be available for Windows 7?

    The full download of features for windows 7 will be available for your product at the end of January 2010.

  • Officejet 6500 wireless printing problem

    Hello. Last week I got an Officejet 6500 Wireless, used. (toll-free from a friend)

    Last week, I installed a new black ink cartridge. Yesterday I printed something for the first time and it worked very well. Today, I sent a print order for five pages to a single page text document (no color on the document). The machine three copies fine, then the last two are out stained as if the ink was running out.

    I went out the black cartridge and it shook a little, used a can of air to eat the area where the cartridge fits inside the printer and I tried again, but now I get only blank pages! Does anyone have an idea of what could be the problem?

    I'm sorry you have a problem with the printing of blank pages. It could be a couple of different reason.

    The print head may need to clean or replace. Sometimes the cartridge needs to be cleaned.

    Print a self-test page and see if you get white pages.

  • Cannot receive faxes officejet 6500 wireless

    Hello

    I suddenly have problems to receive faxes. Alone was able to cross over early today, and as I understand it, it took 8 minutes to my fax machine to connect. I get error reports saying type is "received" and result in "error 244 *.» I tried instructions support on the HP site, and those who, unfortunately, were not very useful. One thing, I thought may be useful was turning power switch on the ECM - however, it is not all the instructions to do it on my model!
