• Problem with the HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer: clean the print heads each time it is turned on

  Hello everyone,

  the printer HP all-in-one Officejet Pro 8500 (A909a - product n. CB022A) clean the print heads whenever I turn it on. This problem affects any HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer, it is not a problem only of this one I bought. It is a boring bug and annoying because each power clean print heads on involves two bad disadvantages:

  1. waste of ink (each heads cleaning process consumes little ink);
  2. too much time (2-3 minutes) to prepare the printer after plugging.

  I upgraded my printer with the latest firmware available on the HP site (firmware ver. DLM1FN1006BR), but the bug is still present.

  At this point, I ask:

  1. There is a way (or procedure) to disable automatic cleaning this useless to all power on?
  2. Can we communicate with the HP engineers or tell me how to contact directly one of them to indicate the bug and request a new firmware updated?

  Please don't tell me to leave the printer on all the time or that the printheads to each cleaning power is normal behavior! Where then are power and ink savings claimed for this printer model?

  I hope that a solution to this problem. Thanks in advance to everyone will help me!

  Maintenance when the printer is turned on is normal and is required to keep the printheads in good health (not blocked). See here for more information.

  With respect to energy savings, the printer automatically goes to low power mode when the don't feel not for awhile.  It is not necessary turn the unit on to save energy.

• OfficeJet 8500 has 910: Macbook Pro won't find my Officejet Pro 8500 printer

  Until recently, my Officejet 8500 910 has worked very well with my Macbook Pro, desktop computer wireless Mac and iPad.  Now, it will not be printed with any of these devices. Yesterday, he worked with my iPad, but today it says that it cannot find the printer. On my Macbook and desktop computer, it is impossible to find the printer when I try to add.  You can find the scanner and fax part of my all-in-one, but not the printer. I deleted all my printers and tried to add this back.  I've stopped and restarted. I checked that my printer is connected.

  I have same thing happened with a HP wireless printer in the 8600 series to work.  Sometimes he would find and connect.  Other times, it wouldn't. I appreciate all help.  Thank you!

  Hey @Jeanne33,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I hope you enjoy your stay here.

  I see that your Officejet Pro 8500 all-in-One Printer does not appear on your network. I can help you with that.

  1. As you only use Apple products means that the printer is no longer connected to your network or a parameter has been changed on your network. That being said, this is what we will do:
     Turn the printer off.
  2. While the printer is off, remove the power cord at the back of the router for a minute.
  3. When the lights came on the router, turn on the printer.
  4. Try to print.

  At this point if you are not able to print, then we will do the following:

  1. On the printer, click on Configuration, network and wireless view summary.
  2. If you see a line indicating connected the printer is properly connected to the network. If this is not the case, then, from the main screen, click on Configuration, network and wireless configuration wizard to add the printer to your network. Try once done printing.

  At this point, you should be able to print. If the printer still doesn't seem to add as a device for the Mac or appear on any other device and then you have a setting on the router that has changed. Your best option would be to communicate with the person who is provided with the router and ask them to do the following:

  • Open all ports.
  • Select multicast.
  • Disable MAC filtering/MAC cloning.
  • Disable the guest network
  • Make sure that the router has a band of 2.4 GHz.

  Please let me know if this allows you to print or if you have any other questions. If not, have a great day!

• OfficeJet Pro 8500 depleted a color ink cartridges - printer will print not except if replaced

  When one of my color ink cartridges is empty ink, my printer does not print until the ink cartridge is replaced.  Of course, I go out and buy new and install it then get the message that another cartridge needs to be replaced!

  I only print in black ink in all cases.  Is it possible to print only black ink without replacing color cartridges are empty ink?

  In addition, if a color is exhausted, I should automaticall replace all color cartridges?

  Operating system: Windows XP

  Officejet 8500 printers individual ink cartridges (IIC); This machine requires that all cartridges to be installed to ensure that the printhead not damaged. In the printer, the ink is used not only for printing, but retain the printer and the print head. We can reduce the amount of color ink, the printer uses by changing the print in grayscale settings or use black ink only. Page 34 of the Manual shows how to change these settings when you print the documents. For more information on how the ink is used in the printer; It can be considered as this page here where he goes into detail about the different ways that ink is used in the printer.
  I would just replace the color cartridge the printer says needs replacement when the machine alerts you of low ink. I would replace all the colors at a time when only needs replacement.
  I hope this helps.

  The Officejet 8500 has individual inks with separate printheads and "plumbing" to connect.  It requires ink in all colors to keep the plumbing for all air and/or damage the printheads.

  Not the answer you want to hear, but you will need to replace the depleted cartridges.

• HP Officejet Pro 8500 All-in-O: all-in-one HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer - A909a

  Is it possible to print from a phone Nokia 635 to the printer above?

  It is an android system.  I'm a little new to this.

  Thank you

  The HP Photosmart 5520 of the e-all-in-one printer features are more advanced than the 8500 when it print of smartphones - they use Android or Windows operating systems.  I recommend that you try to use ePrint with the 5520.  Here's how to put in place:

  • Front panel of the printer, press the icon of webservices/ePrint:
  • If you haven't already done so, activate your webservices and press OK to enable the automatic updates of printers.
  • When finished your printer will print a sheet of info announced his claimcode (which is the first part of the ePrint address preceding [email protected]).
  • If you were able to activate Web services successfully, you now have two additional printing methods that you can use with your Android and Windows devices:
  1. ePrint by email (note that this method is the best option when you use the Windows phone and one of the two options when you use the Android) - to use this feature, simply send the content you want to print (emails, photos and file attachments) by e-mail to the address of your printer @hpeprint.com.  You can use the email app on your Android device to do and for convenience, you can save the address of your printer to your contacts.  Earlier in this post, remember that the address of your ePrint printer would have appeared at the bottom of the slip of webservices.  Click here to learn more about customizing your ePrint printer's address.
  2. ePrint HP ePrint (second option for Android phone) App- click here to install the HP ePrint app.  I generally recommend this method above others as the ePrint application give you the ability to customize your print jobs, print the photo and files stored on your device and print from the web.  Click here for more information on how to use the HP ePrint app.

• OfficeJet pro 8500: print heads and things

  OK, maybe it's a bit confusing. I have three printers Officejet 8500. No. 1 went into a never-ending cycle of clean print heads (after more than 30,000 pages) and without me being in the room the right side of the printer depot of ink on the table. Tried the reset but not good. Bought a second hand and after a few weeks, it came in paper jam mode. Could not resolve so finally bought number three. Works a treat and has no problem. Numbers one and two are for recycling. Print heads removed and stored in an airtight box with damp cloth. What is staging. Now after spending all that money, the last thing I want, it's having problems with number three. However, I have three cartridge sets new and unopened from PC World (their own brand) which cost £39. They came with the number two of the machine. They are not dated and has no way to know at what age they are. They are not oem, I can't any advice on their likely performance, but what worries me, is can the ink begins to solidify and block print heads as they age? Like I said they are still sealed. If I change the cartridge and use a spare set of the print heads to check the print output and that something is wrong if I can swap cartridges and print heads back without the printer enter the cycle of constant head cleaning. I know there have been issues with these printers but mine is on 27 000 pages and all tests are reports back in good health. I have also several chips of HP cartridges genuine that I can use.  Sorry as that a little long-winded.

  Hello @notahappybunny,

  Welcome to the forums of HP.

  I understand that you have some questions and concerns about your ink cartridges non OEM 8500 and some.

  I would like to help.

  The following document explains on the expiry of the ink.

  Consumable inkjet HP - ink Expiration

  From what I've read, it's I think I understand that the ink may change over time.

  Because ink is sealed I don't think they're going to solidify, but the pigment used in the ink may eventually separate from water. This will certainly cause print quality problems.

  In addition, your first 8500 printhead might not be good.

  A bad print head may cause the impression of entering the cycle without end cleaning.

  I hope that I have answered your question.

  I received a fax and then "clean printhead" appeared... 15 minutes later... always cleaning... I shut it off with the power button... waited 2 minutes and then turned back on it... "jam carriage error", I check the whole printer inside out and backwards on the side... I turned it off again... unplugged it... and rekindled it... then I saw "replace ink cartridge"... the cyan and black... I took the cartridges off... put them back in and then looked at the ink level... There are still many at a time... then I get the "jam carriage error" once again... and nothing that I may change this in the window... If I click OK in the window... it says "Printing cancelled... then back to 'jam carriage error'... I think» also the transport of ink is pasted on the right side... He tried to pass it... and cannot without ripping it out of the printer... when I opened the box in the back... it was ink on the right side...

  It is 3-4 years, because I had it... and put some miles on it... I do PITCH it... just bought the 8600... still in the box... or is there hope... and of course, I just bought and put new cartridges color... lol... Thank you...

• Officejet Pro 8500 printing problem has 909

  Not blue print. have you tried the alignment and not cleaning several times, still get no blue including print quality diagnostics Page. Alignment obtained, which do not have messages. Hope it doesn't me printhead is faulty as I have had recurring problems with this machine.

  This will sound stupid, but have you checked to make sure you have blue ink? If you're here, then yes it can be a print head problem. Remove the printhead B/M and check the date on the side. If it is under warranty, then I would contact HP to get a new print head. If it is not in warranty, then I'll try to do a physical cleaning of the print head to clear which can clog the blue nozzle. Following the link are details of HP and steps physically clean the print head. Let me know what happens.

Sometimes it works if I disconnect the printer and then plug the power and USB. This is only a solution shortly since the fault is common. My operating system is windows 7.

• HP Officejet Pro 8500

  Hello
  I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer
  I do not use it for more than a year.
  I tried to print, I tried to clean the heads.
  He prints little, but not enough color.

  My question is: if I change the ink cartridges, it is the guarantee that it will print in a new?

  My concern are the components between the print head and ink cartridges.

  Hi @Robert_Client,

  I have read your message and see that you would like to know if the printer still work correctly, if you change the cartridges, because it has not been used for a year. I can help you.

  When the printer is turned on, the printer will periodically perform maintenance cycles that use small amounts of ink to clear the nozzles and keep them clearly, if the printer is not used for long periods of time. Without regular maintenance cycles, the print head gets dirty. (months to a moment turns off) HP inkjet printers have shutdown routines, where the printer head printing of parks and the cartridge caps. When the printer is off and that the printer has been idle for a while and he goes to the power save mode. The printer can sit for an extended period without drying of the ink in the print head and without harm to the printer.

  If the ink levels are good, then I will try the following to see if they will help.

  Here is a document to check the cartridges. I would clean the contacts on them also.

  A "ink cartridge seems to be missing or corrupt" Error Message appears on the printer control PA... "

  I submitted this document to manually clean the print heads.

  "The following printhead appears to be missing or corrupt" or "the following printhead has a problem...
