    * Wait 30 seconds

    * Plug the printer back to

    Hello

    Can you try to insert a flash drive into one of the USB ports on the printer, to make sure she reads it?

    The printer port may be what gives you the question. In addition, you can try the USB printer connected to another PC?

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 A909a not print correctly

    OfficeJet Pro 8500 A909a

    Windows 7

    I can't print now with my usual USB connection, directly from the computer USB for printer, even if another computer can print to it via a network connection.  After printing, I open printer in devices and printers, there is a ghost copy to the printer and the printer itself is ghost, indicating that it is in offline mode.  After you open the Quebec, the file is listed with a message "error-printing".  I can remove the copy to the printer and to set the printer online, but the process is repeated each time.

    I: restarted the computer and the printer, run the troubleshooter printer with no problems, noted, tried the USB cable to a different port, execute printing and doctor Scan and my computer 'sees' the firmware, printer and resettled drivers and restart the print spooler.  There is no hardware problems - it will print on the other computer and copies, etc very well.  I have not tried another cable because I have a step and assume if my computer can see the printer should work.  One final note: there was a bolt of lightning about 100 yards away for the weekend. first thing Monday back to work is when I noticed the problem.

    Please help, I did research for hours without success...

    Tried the printer with 2 different usb cables to another computer and it never worked.  I think that the usb port on the printer has been fried.  Bought a new printer works fine.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a USB 3 questions about the configuration of the network - port USB3 problem

    Fujitsu Windows 7 laptop (all USB2)

    used the full software and installed a printer HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a Series as a network printer.

    The printer installed fine and don't have USB connection

    All the software and scanning twain installed, so I was able to scan the copy etc.

    I could browse and choose my PC from the front panel of the printer

    However, it was Tuesday confirmed to a friend that their printer would work on a new laptop - bought the laptop

    Fujitsu - but more recent model with 3 USB ports

    I have install and then used the same FULL configured driver to be installed (V14)

    selected as a network printer and then, during the installation, I get an error hardware error USB and USB drivers

    All the USB works, that I've used - BUT the printer is networked and no USB used

    tried to download the driver and install it-exactly the same question

    SO I configure using the devices and printers 'add printer' network and installed

    I can print OK

    BUT no analysis facilities

    and on the façade - cannot see the new PC to scan to

    Thanks for any help / advice

    Hi etaf,.

    I guess the short answer is: Yes, the problem with the software and the 3.0 Port.

    The long answer with a possible work around is as follows: first of all, the software looks for minimum requirements. Because the software is older, he doesn't know what a 3.0 port. You are right when you say that it should work since you do not use the USB and use wireless instead, but this is not the case.

    There is something we can try, but I can't guarantee it will work. I thought first we could connect a USB cable and run the software made to force the software to see the USB port, but then the software wouldn't even get far enough because you can't plug the cable to the most later in the installation.

    My second thought and most promising suggestion is to connect the USB cable (although we do normally not until the software prompts us to) and use the installation wizard HP Print to get the insteaad of software to use the CD or download from the printer driver page. Still, I can't say with certainty that it works, but I don't see why it would not be worth a try.

    If it works, and we get the software installed you can convert the USB connection to a wireless connection using the software. Fingers crossed! Download and run the with the following link. Printer HP install wizard for Windows

    If this does not work, or you don't want to bother with it (not worth trying), I might consider getting a new model of the printer. You can even call HP. They might be able to offer a discount on a newer model. If you are in the Canada, U.S. dial 800-474-6836 or you can Contact HP worldwide.
