  • New Officejet Pro 8620 slow to start printing

    When printing from a laptop Win 8.1 and a Win 7 laptop, the printer is not printing for a whole 60 seconds after clicking on the button print.  Then it prints the page but keeps it for another minute before he spits.  A third Tablet 8.1 winning is also on my net wireless isn't the problem.  It printed immediately.  The first two laptops have been installed since the HP CD supplied with the printer.  The third, a tablet of 8.1 Win, has been installed since the network as it is not a CD player.

    I ran the HP printer Scanner doctor and it has been successful to uninstall the printer from the laptop 8.1 first, but I found it easily again in the add a printer in the printer control panel.  I also disabled the firewall McAfee, but that did not help (Yes, I turned it back).  In the Properties window, I checked for the latest version of the driver, I am OK there.

    The printer is on my WiFi network.  The icon of spooling print if displayed in the notifications area of the taskbar as soon as I click the button print.  I tried MS Office, Adobe Photoshop and Firefox.  All have the same time frame.

    If I told it to print two copies, he waits a minute, prints the first page and then the second, but holds on the second page for one more minute, as was he drying of the ink or something.  I timed it delays with a stopwatch, it takes really two minutes to print a page, or a page with a single word on this matter.  Share mode is turned off.

    Printing a test page for the printer properties pane takes also two minutes to complete.  I'm out of ideas so any suggestions will be appreciated.  What is a Windows network or printing problem?

    Hi Jamie,

    Thank you for your response. Understand that your printer is on wifi and all laptops are connected via the wireless.

    Have you tried "hard reset the printer?

    1. Turn the power off. Remove the power cable and the data cable from the device.
    2. Connect the supply directly to a wall outlet cable.
    3. Reconnect the power cable and turn on the power.
    4. Print a self-test by following steps below.
    • Load US letter or A4 size, unused, plain, white paper into the input tray.
    • Press the power button () to activate the product.
    • On the touch screen product, tap the right arrow () to display the second screen of the navigation.
    • Press Setup () on the control screen. The installation Menu appears.
    • Tap the arrow down () and then tap reports.
    • Tap Printer Status Report. The test page will print.
  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus slow to start printing

    The time of the first page is 39 seconds.  This time is usually listed as approximately from 7 to 14 seconds (not HP more which seems to have deleted it on their site!).  It's not a software or computer problem (even of computers different and various documents), the printer accepts the job immediately, and then starts whirrring and complain and think and a break of 40 seconds before eventaully starts printing.  I have re-installed software, reset the printer all to no effect.

    In addition, as reported by many others, he receives a paper jam when it comes out of standby, when there is no paper jam. Open and close the drawer and it works usually - but rehearsals then that on the next clock cycle.  HP?

    Yes, solved within HP repair shop.  They said there was a piece of paper stuck to the right behind the printer heads, forcing out of alignment and it seems that the printer has tried to change the route.  Fortunately subsequently he completely stopped printing so I took for repairs, which solved all the problems I had.

  • OfficeJet 8500 has stops at "now printing" After sleeping

    Hi, Windows7 laptop computer, USB wire link for all-in-one Officejet 8500 printer has produced no CM755A, serial no CN0CKAR15R:

    It prints OK when turned on first of all, then sleeps if not used for a few minutes as planned. But on sending the print order following its ' small screen wakes up & now a "printing" on it, but nothing else!   It won't work even once if I turn off, put in pause, then turn it back and return the print order.

    I tried a soft reset using the network voltage electrical on/off/on in the order they advised me on this forum, without effect. It is powered directly from the wall jack via a single good quality extension for this only, & no power surge protection.

    Any ideas please?

    I would make sure I had the latest firmware for the printer. I included a link to the update of the firmware here. In addition, you could disable energy saving mode in the configuration menu of the printer and go to preferences and scroll down and deactivation of the mode of energy.

    Let me know if it helps.

  • HP officejet 8500 has more will not print black and white because the color cartridge is low

    I have entered the property and set it to 'levels of gray' and 'use black ink only', but the printer still will not print because "the yellow ink cartridge is low.

    incredibly frustrating that the cartridges of color completely stop you from printing, even if you are trying to print in color.

    Proffessional OS-windows 7

    is there a known solution for this?

    Unfortunately, the printer does not print until the replacement of the yellow ink. There is no work around for low ink message.

  • 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.

  • HP Officejet 8500 a e-all-in-one: Officejet 8500 A progressively less black ink prints

    Greetings,

    I have an Officejet 8500 a e-all-in-one, which was a little finiky when it print black ink. It prints well in the morning and for most of the day, but sometimes late in the afternoon, it will print progressively less black ink until it stops completely. When he is left alone during the night, it will start printing without any problems again in the morning. The amount that we will print does not seem to have an effect. It will do the days where we printed almost anything just as often we are printing constantly throughout the day.

    There is a laptop connected via the USB port and two other people who connect via radio. A computer has 10 64 - bit Windows, Windows 64 - bit to 8.1, the last is a macbook. Printing problems are are produced through two connections.

    There is no problems with the ink cartridges, they are brand new and in Full ink levels report.

    The printer has aligned the printheads several times with success.

    I ran to the printhead cleaning several times and it had no effect.

    I took the print heads and cleaned the contacts on the back and in the machine.

    There has been no error on machines or computers.

    At this point I'm not sure if it's a matter of ink clogged or if it is somehow overheating.

    If the steps described in the guide I provided did not resolve your problem, I would certainly consider replace the printhead (s), or the upgrade of the printer. Please Contact HP phone support for assistance.

  • Why the hp officejet pro 850 always clean heads printer etc etc on start up?

    Hi my printer always seem it self check on every time I start it. It checks the parts themselves, calibration and printer heads. It takes about 1 minute ot more cela and offers in the menu, it might take longer than that. Certainly there is a way to bypass this not only for the inconvienience but also to save the planet and reduce the costs of electricity and the additional movement create.

    Can anyone help?

    If not can you me say there is no way so I don't know. If there is not a way HP are not helping the environment in my opinion. It is fair to say, it works at lower costs than most but when even why the controls each time to the start?

    Thank you!

    [I am assuming that you actually have an Officejet Pro 8500 printer.]

    This printer uses pigmented inks.  They have more long-lasting light, but they are also more likely to clog.  Maintenance that you hear is the printer prepare to print, clean and wipe the nozzles so they will print good pages.  There is no way to eliminate it, and the result is better for the environment than to print pages tha tneed be thrown out because the first line or so do not print correctly.

    page explains here how the ink is used in HP printers.  The Officejet 8500 series is a printer IIC in the nomenclature of this page.

  • Printing DCP color red problem - HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All - in - One Printer, the 4th copy

    I have a HP HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless all-in-One Printer and try to print 75 copies of a program for our event. After the first 5-6 pages the RED in my program starts to turn magenta. I have new HP ink cartridges and print on HP Color Injet paper. I have renectly replaced the Black/Yellow Printhead (at least 6 months ago). At the beginning when I cleaned the printheads, I was able to print 2 or 3 pages showing my color RED. Then back to magenta. When I received the images of test after you have cleaned the print heads, they are all perfect, no lines.

    What happens and how can I solve this problem?

    Hi TM1997,

    Thanks for the reply!

    Given that the printer seems to work for a bit and then comes back to the same question, it must be a problem with the printhead (Cyan/Magenta one) or the ink lines that go from the cartridges to print heads. First of all, I would suggest that you check the warranty date on your printhead C/M. If it is under warranty contact HP Technical Support in your area and inquire about a replacement, but if not, it's you if you want to replace the print head, printer service, or look into an upgrade.

    Have a great weekend!

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 a Premium: HP Officejet Pro 8500 a Premium does not print the docs of the computer, but will display a test page.

    HP Officejet Pro 8500 a Premium does not print the docs of the computer, but will display a test page.  I constantly get a message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.   Not only it will be not be printed docs, it will not print web pages using 11 IE or Google Chrome.

    I used print and Scan of doctor, he always reports there are no questions and print page one same test so I can not print anything else.

    Whenever I want to print, I have to restart the computer.  After the reboot, I have a chance to print.   This problem started on February 15, 2015.

    My operating system is Windows 8.1.   I have unintalled HP, rebooted, and then reinstalled the software software:

    OJ8500_A910_1315 - 1.exe

    HP Print and Scan - HPPSdr.exe doctor

    HPSupportSolutionsFramework - 11.51.0049.msi

    All versions were last uploaded on 4 April 2015.

    I have a home wireless network (router Ubee DDW366).  All other devices in the House will be printed on the printer of 8500 has no problems: 2 Toshiba laptops, 2 Android phones and 1FireHD.

    The desk top is installed with a network card Netgear, I don't know the model, but I had it tested by a PC technology to verify that the card works.   The card and 8.1 of Windows have been installed on January 3, 2015.

    I have run virus scans and analyzes malware.  Whenever they show that there are no problems with my desktop computer.  What kind of desktop? Specially designed for my listing of... without brand computer parts store.  ASUS motherboard P6X580 Premium.  Now I will probably get hacked!

    I'm at my wits end.  And it's frustrating when I need to print something and the system hangs.  I often use screen printing to a word document to save in order to restart... but then I lose all sorts of features when I pick up what I needed.  It is also a time consuming.

    This printer we served well for two years and I have expensive cartridges pending; another two cycles of recharge.

    Help?

    Addendum: can I scan with the HP printer help.  I open the HP printer assistant, he "gets" the printer information, then I select "scan a document or photo" and the printer answers.   I have no problem with the sweep.

    It has been awhile, but I played on something you wrote.  "There could be a software conflict with the HP software" everything worked very well... impression was shifted at best; just didn't know if it would work.  So I would eliminate a program, reboot clean, try to print, and then reinstall the software.  I finally found the culprit.  I had a program running in the background, occasionally.  When it ran, HP does not print.  Stop the program and I was able to print... Do not have a problem since I found it... I do not say that it was a software to share files... so I replaced since this program with something else that doesn't cause problems...  It took a long time and I couldn't work the question every day.... but I can say that I have problems printing for the past 5 days!  I can print with confidence.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 Premium a don't print from my laptop

    I have an Officejet Pro 8500 a Premium. Juice I had charging ot my driver, thinking that he would resolve the question below, but it didn't. The connection string is portable-> docking station-> ethernet to the router-> ethernet for printer.  On my laptop, I can see the printer ink levels so there is a link but when I try to print, and then select the printer Officejet 8500-(no fax), it tries to print to fax 8500 a and then jump upward with a box of fax.

    Additional information:

    I tried the following:

    -Changed the port to 8500 a fax

    -A tried to set the default printer of the fax to the network printer - received an error message: operation could not be completed (error 0 x 0000709). Double check the name of the printer and make sure that the printer is connected to the network.

    I think I got it this morning.  It seems that I had a print driver that is hidden on the laptop. I say this is because when I went to the printers and drivers in the control panel it showed no printer driver.  I then turned off my laptop, the printer is off, run a usb cable from the laptop to the printer, started the computer completely started printer and print driver has shown in printers and devices.  He is currently working.  I can't really explain why it worked, but it did.
