HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 has: HP8500A does not print the programs in Microsoft office in color

I don't really know when this problem started, as I often do not print Microsoft Office files on this printer, but today I tried to print things in 2013 of Microsoft Office.  Even if the grayscale setting has been disabled - they always printed on this printer in grayscale.  I tried to print on two of my other printers and they printed color very well with similar settings for these printers.  I tried to print my email address on the 8500 - it printed color very well.  I tried to print photos with photo gallery and my 8500 them printed in color as well, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with one of the cartridges in the printer color such that it will print color with other applications.

I restarted my HP8500A, and I got the same results.  I restarted my computer, the same results.  I went ahead, downloaded and installed Microsoft Update Office 2016 think there must be a problem somewhere.  It made no difference.  When I print to the 8500 with shades of gray turned off in Word and print selected in Publisher - RGB I'm still printing in grayscale.  I take the same documents and I print on my other printers (HP Photomart C5580 All in One) and HP Deskjet 1000 and the same Microsoft Office 2016 documents will be printed in colour on both printers.  I'm running out of ideas to try to correct the problem. Any ideas?

Thanks for your reply.  After trying a few other things, I saw that page print test HP and the Scan doctor kept coming out in grayscale, but still the print quality diagnostics Page was in color and everything was reported as good.  I just decided when all else fails, uninstall the printer driver and then reinstalled as it was the last thing to reset.  I have restarted everything, kept my fingers crossed and all print in perfect color!  For now at least!  So, I would say that my problem is solved and if it happens again, I'll uninstall and reinstall to try to resolve that obviously some sort of glitch mounted in the driver software.

    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:

    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 a910 a does not print

    Hey all,.

    had some problems recently with my a910 Officejet Pro 8500 has.

    From 1 day to the other, it stopped printing, each document is put in the waiting room, but no paper out.

    The vacuum-ing line made no difference, al checked settings in the box.

    Had removed all software, installed again, all via HP.

    All fine until testpage, no go.

    All 3 Doctoringtools of HP given their chance, all very well once again, until the testpage, so no reaction.

    I'm all of the options, maybe one of you, the specialists have everything?

    THX in advance and regards, Sander

    Hey Gordon,.

    Windows 7, USB.

    After a week of trying I had solved tonight.

    Last night I pulled the plug out of the electricitysocket and let rest a day.

    When I tried tonight it print like it used to, as well!

    I don't know why, after you close a couple of times b4 electricity, to reset, no result then.

    Maybe now, with the new software (6th time install) and HP tools, he decided to once again where I bought it for...

    Thus, solved!

  • Cyan is not printing on HP Officejet Pro 8500 has more - Air bubbles in the ink tubes

    Hi all

    I know why cyan is not printing.  It is because of the following:

    Ago, I ran out of ink cyan printing ("please replace cyan before continuing").  I live in a remote area and was not able to buy a replacement cyan cartridge, so I read on a hack on the Internet, that was to fool the printer into thinking that the cyan cartridge remained inside ink (just basically restricting the measure gauge so that it read the Full cartridge).  I did it because I had a print document that requires only the black ink, so I knew that this wouldn't be a problem.  Then life happened and I completely forgot my little shortcut, and my wife printed a number of color photos.  I finally had time to cartridges, and I now understood that cyan is not print at all.  I have now opened up the printer and realize that the cyan ink tube is full of bubbles...

    I tried to fix this by printing A4 pages that are for the most part, cyan, but without success.  I even tried to put pressure on the ink cartridge cyan in order to flood the cyan ink tubes - also, it does not work.  I read somewhere that there is a way to actually get some printers to pump tubes with ink, is - it possible on the Officejet Pro 8500 has more?

    Of course, I did all the tools that are pre-set to the arsenal of 8500, but still no luck.

    I know I'm in the situation I am purely because I don't use the device as intended, and people that no one is to blame but me, but I'd appreciate any help you could provide.

    Thank you

    John

    John, looks like you have a problem with the ink system. Unfortunately, what it looks like happened here, is that your ink nozzle, tubing and probably-print head have put dry for cyan. Work around is pretty neat, but it really is only recommended for a very temporary solution. If the ink has dried in the piping, but elsewhere in the printer then can be a decent chance that this printer will be not likely reprint the cyan. You can try to run the automatic cleaning process (up to three times I would say) via the Tools menu in the Setup (the wrench).

    In addition, I'm not sure that this will be a question that has a simple resolution. Apologies, John.

    PS Hope you have a wonderful day and that your time is as beautiful as she is here!

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 first: Feeder does not

    Hello:

    I use a HP Officejet Pro 8500 first all-in-one printer, and recently I started having problems with the document feeder. It always saves when a document is sitting there, but when I choose "Scan" it makes a really loud grinding noise, short and says that I need to reload the document, and then try again. I also noticed that the roller is demeaning not himself, he is already lowered when I place documents in now. I think that maybe that's the problem.

    I also have the error 'Pump motor Stall' when I restart the device.

    No idea how can I fix? I scan a large number of documents in the office and the document feeder is quite crucial for time management.

    Thank you!

    Hello @ddehner523and welcome to the Forums of HP, I hope you enjoy your experience!

    I see that you have questions about your feed paper.  I would like to help!

    I recommend to remove printer ink cartridges and reset the power supply.  Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

    I would also turn on the power of the printer into a different wall outlet.

    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 has: WIFI connection to printer after moving from a computer in another city

    I recently moved from Nevada to California with my printer.  I can't go to the printer.  The wireless light is lite. The printer has worked with this computer I Nevada. Promp in window says "printer is unable to connect to the server.

    Hi @Raggetty ,

    I understand that you are having problems with the printer via the wireless network. I will definitely do my best to help you.

    Since you have moved, you must install the printer on the network.

    If you haven't already done so, restore the default settings of the network printer. Go to configuration, network, restore default network.

    Then set up the printer on the network again.

    Follow this document:

    Configure the printer to a wired network or wireless for the HP Officejet Pro 8500 has e-all-in-One Printer Series.

    If you need help to set up the printer on the network, let me know.

    Good day!
    Thank you.

  • 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!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 has Premium - problem with printing PDF documents

    My boss has the printer/HP Officejet Pro 8500 Premium has in his office. He had problems with the printing of PDF documents. As a general rule, what print is either unintelligible or will have a black line at the top of many pages, even if it's just a 1 page document. No problems printing on other types of documents, only the PDF files. Is it possible to fix this? Thank you!

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 a Premium does not work!

    I have a HP 8500 a Premium e-all-in-one A910n. The problem I have is that printer power light is on but the printer does not. I have just used the printer because I have 2 connected to my network so basically, it's almost new. Yesterday I went to print a label for shipping to this printer and discovered that it did not work. Before a few power out for severe thunderstorms, here in Florida the printer worked when I used the latter. My 2 year warranty expired January 2013 never had problems with the printer before. After completing printer did not work I looked more and the power light was carried out. Printer has been connected to a bunch of surge protection. So did a search on the internet and found a solution of HP forum. First of all, I followed the steps to "restore an external power module.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01321436#N551

    I connected the cable to the printer as suggested directly to a wall outlet. But the outlet wall available closest was across the room. So I plugged it into the wall outlet, then in power while the power is on. Plugged the power cord at the back of the printer and the printer started its initialization process for nearly 15 minutes. Then everything seemed OK on the touch screen. Although I don't have a check printing. I did a power button close so that I could use a closer outlet. I did that and plugged printer on another once tested the printer wouldn't turn back on. I repeated the same steps on the reset of the external power supply without result. The power led remains on the printer as well as on the external power supply. I can't touch screen of the printer and the printer is initializing. Can someone PLEASE! Is it the printer or power supply external power that his witness remains on too! It's a printer expensive used sentence... I can not find anything on printer get repaired on the HP Web site if necessary.

    Well, I changed the logic board with an 8500 a more Board of eBay. The Premium printer & more than 8,500 use the same logic board. The difference between the two printers, it's that the premium has a second paper tray. After you have installed the most logical and crossing my fingers when I plugged power cord in.... was worth the $27.50 I paid for the Board on eBay. The printer is indeed, works again. Don't understand why HP or someone else keeps parts for an old printer in 3 years. HP wants to just sell an upgraded model, so they can do more of $ people. I did not see elsewhere the printer dumping excellent condition.

    I appreciate your comments! Rich1

  • OfficeJet Pro K850 - ink cartridge does not print

    My K850 printer is not printing cyan. According to the Toolbox of the K850, cartridge series cyan was 75%, and the health of the print head has been fair. The cyan cartridge was beyond its expiration date I replaced it. The new cartridge does not better than the old cartridge print. Before I spend another $40.00 + did someone has something to suggest?

    Although the cleaning of the print head has helped a little, it did not help, so I bought a new cyan print head. When I installed the new print head, the printer automatically aligned to the printhead and now cyan works very well. Unfortunately, the alignment process pointed out flaws in magenta and Yellow Printhead. Now everytime that I print anything the printer goes through a continuous systematic alignment printhead to try to correct the magenta and Yellow Printhead, waste of paper and ink, until I cancel all print jobs. New cleaning of the printheads and the contacts did not help. In the end, no matter what is the status of print head in the tool box, replacing the print heads is the only solution that worked.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 has more - won't print; requires power off/power on to reset.

    I spend a month trying to solve this problem.  Wireless printing, documents hang in the queue and print ever.  When informed of the printer is cycled off the power then, the documents are printed wireless, but only for a temporary period of indefinite duration.  The next time I use the computer, the problem repeats.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software several times.  Running printing HP and Scan doctor says all right.  It is not.  Your expertise is appreciated.

    The problem has been resolved by replacing the ink cartridges non HP with geniune HP cartridges.
