  • HP Officejet Pro 8630: HP Officejet Pro 8630 printing problem

    Hello

    I have a printer HP OfficeJet Pro 8630 with two different computers connected on it. I have no problem printing from the computer that I use every day, but when I try to print from the other office, nothing happens. The second recognizes the printer and says it is connected, but it does not recognize the printer. In the meantime, I can turn around and print something on the computer to work immediately after I try to print on the other. If anyone has any suggestions, I would be very happy! Thank you.

    Hi @AdminGuy,

    Thanks for joining the Forums of HP Support for a solution to your printing problem.

    I understand that you have a HP Officejet Pro 8630 e-all-in-one printer is connected to two computers via a wireless network, the main one has no problem printing, but the printer is not responding to print jobs sent from the second PC. I would like to help with that.

    Is the PC that does not work with the printer to Apple or Windows computer, and what operating system is running?

    If it's a Windows PC, try to download and run the HP print and Scan Doctor. This tool can diagnose and solve many problems of printing software and printer.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8630: Printer keeps going offline

    Help, please! My OfficeJet printer keeps showing that it is in offline mode.  I did a network diagnosis which tells me that everything is OK.  I changed my printer market and it is still not reconnect.  I am operating Windows 10.  I had to reinstall the printer once before and that helped for a little while but just happening.  It only frustrates me no end.  Nothing seems to help. I work as full time in Western Australia and at the time when I get home from work all contact options are closed.  Advice please would be most appreciated.

    This program allows you to completely remove the HP software.

    Use http://www.iobit.com/en/advanceduninstaller.php .  Use of the powerful scanner at the end to remove all registry entries.

    Now download and reinstall the software on the HP website.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8630: Envelopes single impression that all the black

    Use the same word for Mac 2011 file print envelopes once each month for years, but since I'm the new printer 8630 in August 2014, I get the occasional envelope all black (with a thin white border around) instead of the usual address.  I implemented with it to this day, but this month I do nothing will make me normal print - I tried to create a pdf file and checked all settings, so am at a loss to get a result.  Help? John

    Hi @jrandsk and welcome to the Forums of HP!

    I see that you are having problems printing envelope. I would like to help with that!

    I suggest to remove the printer from your printing system, using this document: uninstalling the software of the printer.

    Once you have deleted, I suggest to check and repair disk permissions: function to fix the permissions of all utility disk drive.

    I also run your Apple updates: OS x: Mac App Store apps and OS X update

    After the updates, I recommend reinstalling the e-all-in-one-HP Officejet Pro 8630 Printer series full feature software and drivers.

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

  • HP Officejet Pro 8630 - work of borderless printing produces blank pages

    Hello-

    On my HP Officejet Pro 8630, when I start a print job and select ' without borders on "print 3 or more copies, the first 2 pages of the print job, and then a blank page prints, followed by a good impression, followed with a blank page, etc. until that work ends.

    If I disable the option without borders, the job will print correctly without blank pages.  I tried printing from multiple computers and programs with the same number and have updated printer drivers / the most recent versions.

    I tried printing wired network, wireless network and USB all with the same result.  I've had the printer for less than a month.

    I use the printer for business purposes, and it is causing the major headaches!

    Thank you

    I solved the problem by selecting the Type of paper - HP Bright White... She has been set to the default value of plain paper.  I can now borderless printing correctly without blank pages.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8630: Test Print "error - printing".

    Hello

    I have problems printing in the main printer in my office, the HP Officejet Pro 8630. Some work colleagues print to this printer without problem, and others have gave up on it as well. I have no printing problem with HP Officejet Pro 8600 to an office close to home.

    I have finally connected to this printer manually, using its IP address, because it does not appear in the search "add a printer". When I try to do a test print, in the print queue of the printer window, it shows its status as 'Impression' for a brief moment before changing to "error - printing".

    Honestly I don't know what else to do without disturbing the few people who are successfully using this printer. I hate my work colleague whenever I need to use their printer bug.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8630: Internet connection for printer

    Hello

    I recently bought a HP Officejet Pro 8630 all-in-one printer and currently it hooked to my computer via a USB cable.  Everything works fine.

    I want to participate in the program of alternative to instant ink HP Service.  To do this the said program brochure that I have my printer is connected to the Internet.  I have never made a connection like that.

    Currently, I don't have a cable modem wireless.  Do I need to have a cable modem wireless to connect my printer to the Internet?  If this is not the case, how can I connect my printer on my existing cable modem?

    My cable modem is: Motorola SURFboard of SBV5220

    Thank you

    Mark

    Hello

    Your printer needs to have an ethernet port in the back, where you can connect a LAN cable. You will need to connect a LAN cable to a free port on your current modem on the back of the printer - this should establish an internet connection.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8630: how to install additional color on the 8630 printer cartridges

    I just bought an Officejet Pro 8630 with additional color print cartridges.  I went through the instructions but I do not understand where they tell me to insert additional color cartridges.  I've looked everywhere but I still can't find where they need to be installed.  I installed the original color of 3 and 1 black cartridge supplied with the printer in the tray as shown, but when he got to the extra, I'm lost.  I can't find the instructions to install these additional color cartridges anywhere.

    Hello

    You cannot install additional color cartridges, the printer uses 4 ink cartridges (black, yellow, Magenta and Cyan).

    Additional color cartridges included in the box are intended for future use, once the original ink cartridges is exhausted.

    Kind regards

  • HP Officejet Pro 8630: 8630 Pro HP Officejet printing problems

    I'm trying to print from Printmaster Platinum 18.1 to the printer Officejet Pro 8630.  I tried using a network connection and a direct connection, it seems not to matter.  When I check the printer icon, it shows it's queue, and then print.  The message on the printer printing runs for awhile, thenprints 1/2 "of the document then stops and spits out the paper.  My old HP printer never had problems printing of this software.  Any idea what the problem might be?

    I tried to download and install the latest drivers and it does not change the issue.  He still hangs with spinning print button and print only 1/2 "of the document and spit the paper without completing the print job.

    I have no problem printing from other programs. I tried to print a different document from Printmaster and it printed fine. It is just a document. I finished by exporting as jpg and managed to print that way. Thanks a lot for your suggestion. If I have other questions, I'll install the 9800 driver.

  • OfficeJet pro 8630 + is not centered copy - printing and scanning ok

    Older than two months Officejet Pro 8630 (> 400 pages) - copies of plate or charger are shifted to 3/8 of an inch on a side. Printing from computers or scanning is centered.

    FDP1CN1416AR firmware version

    Using tray 2 by default. Tray 1 is used for printing the envelopes.

    Thank you

    I found that turning on/stop margin shift and turning on the margins by default button a few times eventually set the output to the centered normal copy.

    If the settings are now to original (shift off and default on) the printer now copies centered. Must have been a burp of firmware. If that happens again once I try a hard reset to clean.

    Thanks anyway.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8630: HP Officejet Pro not for me, but for my colleagues at print job printing

    My office just got an Officejet Pro 8630 and I was installed on our laptops. I installed the drivers on four computers, and it worked fine for three of them (except mine). Our office makes wireless printing and the printer is connected to the network. My computer is connected to the network as well. I did everything the same (to my knowledge) for download, so I am very confused. I was able to scan from the printer to my computer in PDF form. I restarted my computer and also uninstalled/reinstalled everything, but to no avail. When I try to print, it goes into the queue of print documents, it waits a few seconds and then goes away as if she had printed out correctly. Our old printer still works for me (also wireless, but an Epson) but of course we will be getting rid of this soon. Am I missing something?

    Hi @HMoyer,

    I see that you have problems printing of only the computer, but you can scan from the printer to the computer. I will definitely do my best to help you.

    Download and run the print and Scan Doctor, he will diagnose the problem and could solve it automatically.

    If the problem persists, try the procedure described in this document to see if it will be useful. Wireless printer print a partial Page or fails to print all Pages in Windows 8 The Microsoft KB3000461 fix should help with this question.

    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (she print or scan, error messages)
