  Recently bought an Officejet Pro 8500.  But followed installation instructions the printer can't align the print heads.  Have reinstalled the print heads, heads cleaned, etc.  but in vain.  Auto diagnostic test indicates the two print heads are good.  If I click 'OK' when the printer gives the alignment fails message. then I can print a document, then the printer goes through the whole ending print head alignment process again with the same failure message.   Any thoughts on how to solve this problem?

• HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 first print and mirror for treadmill mouse and t shirt

  HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 first concerns.  I tried to figure out where the printer setting is for printing in mirror.  It is usually in the Advanced Settings tab.  I called HP and was told by 2 different tech, then supervisor that HP does not include this option in this printer.  I tried to explain how I felt it was hard to believe and I was told that it is most likely was an option that was no longer necessary.  I have his name and the file number.  I asked this bump up the level immediately above, because I felt strongly HP has not intentionaly left this option.  I digress.

  Can anyone suggest anything.

  Thank you

  Joe

  Thank you all

  Got it to work.

  990 has not worked, 5600 had mirror but does not print correctly.

  I went to the HP site and downloaded different drivers until I could get to work.

• 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!

• OfficeJet Pro 8500 first stopped scanning

  My Officejet Pro 8500 has stopped scanning.  The message window says it is not connected to the network.

  I changed my DSL provided by the local cable company to ATT U verse a few months ago, but the problem does not seem to be related to this change.  I say this because when I ran the diagnostics, the printed page says that my problem is "the wireless radio does not work. Contact HP support. »

  HP support offered advice tech for $29) warranty, or sell me a new all-in-one.

  The wireless radio can be fixed? Is it a software problem.  I have to buy a new all-in-one?

  Hello JessicaD,

  I see that you have a problem with the wireless radio fails on your Officejet 8500. To inform you in this regard, if the radio has failed, it is not a replaceable part by customer, but I'll try to help you with the problem.

  Start as a result of this document: printer does not maintain the wireless connection.
  With this document, I would like to track:
  (1) restore your default settings of network on the printer.
  Go to setup (can be a wrench), network, and then restore the default settings of the network. After that the power on the printer.

  (2) turn off the wireless radio.
  Go to Configuration > network > wireless radio, you must have the option to turn it off.

  (3) hard reset of the printer.
  While the printer power cable for 30 seconds, while the cable is unplugged, press and hold the power button for 15 seconds. It's draining the printer of all power. Reconnect the cable.

  (4) turn on the wireless radio and reconnect.
  Go to Configuration > network > wireless radio - on. Then, go to Configuration > network > wireless are running the configuration wizard.

  If it was not successful in entering you connected to the network and or print wireless. You still have another option with the printer to try before replacing.
  If you have an Ethernet cable, you can set a wired network connection. Plug the Ethernet (cat5 cable) cable into the printer and the router. It will be assigned the printer a new IP, which means that you will need to add the printer to the computer. This will still allow the printer on the network and communicate with a wireless device.

  Please try all above and I would like to know how everything goes. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.

If a replacement black cartridge fails to resolve your printing delivers a replacement black and Yellow Printhead may be necessary. Saying that, there are still a few troubleshooting steps that we can try before replacing anything. Can I please you follow the steps below.

• 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!

• Network scanning multi-page Officejet Pro 8500 a w/o ADF (Vista and HP Print software)

  Without using the ADF on the 8500 has, can I scan multiple pages in a PDF file if the scans are done from the PC? How?

  My version of Vista is 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2 Build 6002.

  My HP Officejet Pro 8500 has e-all-in-one printer - A910a is the standard model, for example, the premium product of mid-range. It is connected by LAN cable. It scans, prints and can provide the status of ink level.

  The 8500 is connected via the network, and on a Vista PC, I use a desktop icon to launch "HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910.exe". The new software is very different from the [Photosmart c6150 dead] [uninstalled] old HP Solution Center, and I looked in the new textbooks at least briefly, so I hope someone can same thing me some time with a basic question/issues scan. My research forum has failed, but if someone has a link to a relevant thread, that would be appreciated.

  Without using the ADF on the 8500 has, can I scan multiple pages in a PDF file if the scans are done from the PC? How?

  I also tried scanning browser based and there is a drop down for sweeping on both sides, but the drop down menu is not activated and cannot be used.

  I only went through the configuration of the network folder, which may be necessary to get the ability I want. On this subject, I wonder if I set up a folder for all users, or just for my login.

  Thanks for any help!

  Success?

  Well, I created a folder network and was then able to scan to a PDF file of several page without using the ADF (ADF) documents.  To do this, (1) install the software provided with the Officeject Pro 8500 has, (2) the installation program a network folderand (3) run the scan of the touch screen located on the Officejet Pro 8500 has.

  (1) install the software supplied on CD (or probably downloaded from somewhere near here). You may be able to work with only the web browser interface, but I wasn't before install the software provided on the CD, and I suspect that some software is required on the PC.

  Install the downloaded software or the software provided on the CD-ROM titled

  HP OFFICEJET PRO 8500

  A910

  (2) Setup a network folder. The installation of the software created a few new icons on my Vista PC.  Double-click the icon of the desktop titled "HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910". On my Vista PC, it runs,

  "C:\Program HP HP Officejet Pro 8500 Officejet Pro 8500 A910.exe A910\Bin\HP"

  An application window should appear. Mine has a title, "HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910 (network).

  The application window has a section of Scanner Applications on the left. From there, the scanner to the network folder Wizard. Which can be done by double clicking on the 'scan to network folder Wizard"or by the first double clicking on"Scanner Actions"and on the screen that appears, click on"Scan to network folder Wizard.  Otherwise, you can get this done through the web browser, if you know the URL for your device's built-in web server. Because I use my DHCP router (to allocate IP addresses in my local network), I currently access the 8500 a of http://192.168.1.19/. From there on, I can access the Scan tab, and I can access the ability to "Setting up the network folder" on the left.

  Using the scan to network folder Wizard, I clicked on New and used the Browse button to select "C:\Users\Gordon\Documents\My Scans" to set up a folder named "Gandalf Gordon". The next page of the wizard, it will take your network password (or local password if he is counting on the local PC) required to access the PC where the path "C:\". "sailed above is located. When I clicked on finish, the wizard opens a web browser which indicated a certificate error. I chose to continue to the site, which turns out to be the web server integrated in the 8500 has. So now you know a URL where your built-in web server on your network if you were already uncertain. If you do this URL a favorite browser, the favorite should work even if the IP address of the 8500 a is changed in the future.

  Display (3) initiated a sweep of the touchscreen located on the Officejet Pro 8500 a. tap the icon "Scan." Tap the 'network '. Select the network folder. Place a page to scan on the glass of the scanner without using the automatic document feeder. Press 'Start Scan '. When the touch screen prompts, "Page another Scan", select 'Yes', place another page on the scanner glass and click, 'Start scan '. When the last page is analyzed, answer 'No' to the prompt "scan another Page.

  Note: When loading pages additional manually, you have to work a little faster or unit will then expire and close the file with as many pages that you managed to scan. I did three pages as a test.

  If there's a better solution out there, please share!

• 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!
