I have a HP officejet Pro 8500 a Premium all-in-one. It works great except for scanning.

When I scan the docs come out with several MB in size.  I reduced the resolution of 300 DPI to 200 dpi and even smaller, but the docs are still very large.  I'm missing something here on the possibility to scan to a more normal size.  I also have a HP officejet 8500 which is a bit slower, but if I scan the same docs to 300 it might be 1 meg where the other is 10-12 megs.  Can help.  I could find no answer on the HP site.  Thank you.

Hello DwaineHl

Go to advanced... and put the file to the smallest size. You can refer to the image below.

Also check the output Type. Black and white and grayscale will lower color.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 a Premium: How can I preset the trays used for printing and copying?

    I love this machine except for one thing. It takes the paper for printing from the lower drawer. So I used the top plate for single supply of envelopes. Then I'm going to copy something and it makes me put the paper in the upper tray, when the lower plate is full!

    How can I determine if just use paper in the lower tray for copying too?

    Hello

    You should change the copy settings to use the 2nd tray, then you can set it as default:

    1. Click the copy on the front panel of the printer.
    2. Click settings.
    3. Click Select status bar , and then select tray 2.

    You can set the default tray by selecting set as new defaults in the settings menu even.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 a Premium: print head

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 a Premium e-all-in-one printer - A910n printer on a home network.

    I have known printing issues that point to a printhead problem; but I don't know where.  I lined up and cleaned the print heads HP Print & Scan doctor and the console on the printer.  No luck; My test pages shows the black and magenta blocks, but not blocks cyan or yellow.

    I printed the console power-on self-test diagnostic page; and, he pointed out that the status of printhead is good for the two print heads.

    If I have to replace a print head, I don't know what printhead to replace.  Of what I have posted. It sounds like black/yellow or magenta/cyan failed; or do I have another problem?

    Thank you!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 a Premium: my printer driver has changed and it's HORRIBLE

    I have been using my HP 8500 a all-in-one with a few years now with no problem.  Day before yesterday, I met a problem: when I tried to specify certain pages of a document to print, I get an error message.  However, if I chose to print the entire document, it would print.  I assumed that my driver to be updated, so I downloaded from the HP website.  WHAT A HORRIBLE MISTAKE IT WAS.  My scanning utility has changed, I can only print even when I choose to print an entire document.  I can't print at all in an Excel worksheet.  I tried uninstalling the driver and re-install.  I DON'T want to network this printer, but now whenever I have try to reinstall the driver, I can choose to connect via USB, but on the pop - up next, it does not give me the option to proceed.  It gives me the possibility to 'come back' or 'jumps' USB connection.

    What the hell is happening?

    Hi @LMKos,

    Welcome to the HP community!

    I hope you have a pleasant experience here.

    I want to help you with driver/software problems that you are having with your HP Officejet Pro 8500 has e-all-in-one printer and your computer Windows 8.

    It seems that your software is may not be installed correctly, in addition to the common issue of 8.1 to Windows Installer automatically update Windows drivers.

    First of all, with the USB cable plugged in, we want to remove all instances of your printer in Device Manager (so when you plug the USB cable back in during the new installation, it will be seen as a new device).

    1. Open your start.
    2. Start typing 'This PC', it will come under results of research. Right-click on computer and select Manage.
    3. Click Device Manager on the left side.
    4. In the main part of the window, locate in the following categories for all HP entries: Bus USB controllers, printers, imaging devices and other devices.
    5. If you see your HP printer in one of these sections, right click and select Uninstall. Keep an eye out as well for all that said device unknown and let me know if you see this at all (these are also well uninstall).
    6. After have removed all entries of HP, unplug your USB key and leave it unplugged. Do not reconnect the USB until you are asked when reinstall us.

    Next we want to remove printers from the printers and devices folder.

    1. From your desktop, or drag from the right to open the bar of charms, or press Win key + C on your keyboard.
    2. Select settings in the bar on the right.
    3. Select Control Panel
    4. Under hardware and sound, select devices and printers
    5. Right click on each icon you see for your 8500 has (even if there is only one) and select remove an instrument, or delete.

    Once this done, allows to make a cleanboot from your computer (this turns off all non-essential startup programs, so if there is another program running that interferes with the installation we can avoid it).

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    Once the computer restarts, try to download the HP printer install wizard to complete the installation for you. It will automatically detect your device and install the appropriate software.

    Please reply to let me know if that solves the problem.

    Good luck!

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 a Premium: HP Officejet Pro 8500 a Premium does not print the docs of the computer, but will display a test page.

    HP Officejet Pro 8500 a Premium does not print the docs of the computer, but will display a test page.  I constantly get a message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.   Not only it will be not be printed docs, it will not print web pages using 11 IE or Google Chrome.

    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:

    OJ8500_A910_1315 - 1.exe

    HP Print and Scan - HPPSdr.exe doctor

    HPSupportSolutionsFramework - 11.51.0049.msi

    All versions were last uploaded on 4 April 2015.

    I have a home wireless network (router Ubee DDW366).  All other devices in the House will be printed on the printer of 8500 has no problems: 2 Toshiba laptops, 2 Android phones and 1FireHD.

    The desk top is installed with a network card Netgear, I don't know the model, but I had it tested by a PC technology to verify that the card works.   The card and 8.1 of Windows have been installed on January 3, 2015.

    I have run virus scans and analyzes malware.  Whenever they show that there are no problems with my desktop computer.  What kind of desktop? Specially designed for my listing of... without brand computer parts store.  ASUS motherboard P6X580 Premium.  Now I will probably get hacked!

    I'm at my wits end.  And it's frustrating when I need to print something and the system hangs.  I often use screen printing to a word document to save in order to restart... but then I lose all sorts of features when I pick up what I needed.  It is also a time consuming.

    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 has Premium - problem with printing PDF documents

No problems printing on other types of documents, only the PDF files. Is it possible to fix this? Thank you!
