Hi @Adriana8,

I see that you have problems printing in color. You have changed the cartridges and have the same results. I want to help you solve this problem.

Please, try the following steps to see if it will help solve the problem. Ignore the titles of 2nd & 3rd documents.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer - color or black ink prints do not.

All-in-one HP Officejet Pro 8500 (A909) and Officejet Pro 8500 has e-All-in-One (A910) Printer Series - one "ink cartridge appears to be missing or corrupt" control panel displays error on the printer.

'The following printhead appears to be missing or damaged' display for HP Officejet Pro 8500 has e-all-in-One Printer Series.

You use genuine HP cartridges?

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 909 a will not be re - install Mac 10.7.5

    I am very frustrated with this issue, I'll have. Here are the bullets:

    • Running Mac 10.7.5 (Lion).  Printer is connected to this computer through the USB port.
    • Has started to receive messages on my all-in-one HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 909 a scanning would work not and check the documentation for the aid.
    • While looking online and through some troubleshooting, I deleted my print printer to attempt to reinstall fees.

    The main problem I encounter is that I can't seem to re - install this printer no matter what I try.  Here's what I tried...

    • Tried to launch the HP (ver 2.3.15) CONFIGURATION UTILITY and DEVICE MANAGER HP (1.5.8) that was installed on this machine for the printer.  When going through the Setup utility, my device is not seen, so it is considered for a screen and then I invited me with a message that says that my device is not supported by the installer and I had to go to hp.com/support for more help.
    • When I go through SYS PREF > PRINT & FAX and try to click on the '+' to add a PRINTER, the printer never shows in the choice of 'default' as being same / connected.
    • When I go to find help on the support site, the indications only can I find tell me I should use for the Lion, update the Apple software to download the latest update (which I'm sure has already downloaded on this machine in the past).  Tried to restart my Mac, reboot and disconnect all the wires between the printer and Mac, to see if it would work the update of software this printer is connected.
    • I scoured the HP website to try to find the "utility installation hp for lion" install file, but it doesn't seem to be available as a manual download - each direction pointing right back on software updater.

    It is where I am at-I feel like I'm stuck in this small black hole where I can't use the HP Installer on this machine b/c it is too old and I can't download something 'new' of Apple Software Updater.  I did go to the Apple website and download the drivers for Mac OS x Mountain Lion & Lion. I have installed for this machine, restart and still nothing that shows this as a connected USB printer.

    Help, please.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910 Premium will not send fax from computer with Windows 8

    My printer was working fine on Win XP and I could fax directly from the printer or the computer.  I installed 8 32-bit Windows (I am under an older system that works very well for everything that I use it for - thank you very much) and downloaded the latest driver for HP large & software for Win 8 32-bit.  Everything works perfectly, except for the computer fax.

    If I run the test of the printer fax, the fax test PASSES.  If I run the test fax from the computer, the fax test PASSES.

    If I put documents into the feeder of the printer and use the features of fax printer, it Fax beautifully.

    It's only when I fax from the computer, the screen appears with the status of the queue, then state turns to cancelled each time.

    He has always worked on Win XP.

    The FAX and FAX printer driver for the printer-FAX appeared in Control Panel automatically when I installed the HP drivers/software update.  All the properties of the FAX printer seem good.

    I tried a usb connection and a connection of network ethernet, with the same results.

    Printing and scanning all work fine.  I really like this printer and I love it even more if I could figure out how to get by fax a document from the computer.

    When I say fax from the computer, I mean opening a document saying print, select Fax - HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910, filling the page of information by fax, selecting my cover page options and press send fax.  Everything like I used to do it before I upgraded to Win 8.  When I hit send fax, it is when I get the popup that fax is in queue, then it goes to cancelled.  No error codes are displayed, no clue as to why, no nothing.  If I print the document and put it in the printer tray I can using display printer fax without problem.

    Very weird.

    Well, I spoke with some of the engineers, and they suggested next steps. First of all, here's a thread on a forum of MS on the removal of an alternate driver.

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730875.aspx

    Another thing to note is that in Win8, you can easily access the command prompt by pressing the windows key and typing "command prompt".

    In addition, I will PM you walk a few others on the removal of the remains of the software from the back-end of your PC. To be sure, you will need TO follow these instructions to the letter.

    Do these two things and let me know what happens after the installation of the printer again since the direct download link I already provided above.

    Let me know and have a great day!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 first - how I can print without color cartridges?

    Despite a set up preferably default in 'Black and white' print only, to avoid misuse of color ink, color ink cartridges are running out constantly and then the printer will not print.  I have same need print in color, I just wanted to the all-in-one functionality.  Does anyone know how I can print just without color cartridges?  I'm happy to remove them and finish with color.  Help!

    Hello

    I'm afraid that cannot be done, as a device color-all-in-one color ink is required and used.

    You can use black ink only redce using ink and do not use it for printing, however the color cartridge will BE used during the maintnace of tasks such as cleaning the print head and of alignment.

    You can find more info on the use of ink that are explained in the section "some color ink may be used when printing graphics or black text" below:

  • 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!

  • 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 Wireless: Recording of my printer

    I am trying to install my printer Hp Officejet Pro 8500 A909g Wireless - towards the end. The automated process directed me register my product. Despite the fact that during the process that my printer has been identified correctly, trying to "choose your product" registration - this particular model is not not to be found. There are other printers A909 - but not the A909g - that is the wireless. Because I'm not able to continue the registration - automated installation just keep running the message "installation."

    Any ideas how to overcome that?

    I managed to understand the bug in the system:
    At the beginning of the installation process, it asks you "How do you connect to this device. If you answer 'USB' I have to do - you don't get to choose a printer model that can be used also by WiFi. When I started the beginning and chose the 'WiFi' or network then only will be the "WiFi" - as the A909g - models appear also on the selection of the devices list.
    I hope that guys in HP will fix one day. After all, the 'main' desktop PC can connect to the device by USB, while other devices in WiFi.
    Thanks a lot for your response however.
    I was almost desperate.

  • 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.
