• HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 Wireless: Can I get some help here? Yellow ink will not print - HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 Wireless

  No matter what I do, ink yellow does not print, or stops at halfway printing on the page. I use genuine HP cartridges. There is a lot of ink - in fact, I just installed a new cartridge in the case where a previous (almost complete) was defective. No change. The pipe is not pinched. I flashed the firmware more recent and installed all drivers and utilities updated. I have cleaned the print heads over and over again and even took and cleaned according to the instructions.

  I think it was a sign that the printer is worn EXCEPT - just a few months ago, magenta and black stopped printing. These are the opposite printheads. When I uninstalled every bit of HP software I could find, the printer back to normal!

  The only thing I did not - it is the HP Toolbox argues that it is impossible to establish two-way communication with the printer. The patches for this involve get under the desk to play with the power cord and USB cable (even if it is a wireless printer), and my arthritic knees that make a very delicate operation. Two-way communication IS enabled.

  I'm about to start crying. I fought with this market a week, when the yellow all of a sudden went - once again, * most * of the time, but sometimes it prints to maybe an inch of the image before disappearing. Help!

  Hi @Echo2,

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

  I understand that you use a HP Officejet Pro 8000 printer with a Windows 7 computer and all of a sudden is not printing yellow ink. I would like to help with that.

• HP Officejet Pro 8000 - guard alignment page printing

  I had trouble with black ink print does not correctly so after several cleanings I decieded to manually clean the print head. I took the printhead of the printer then whipped cream, the part where the ink comes out with a most paper towle. After that I put the print head in the printer prints a print alignment page. Ok. Now, every time I have print whatever it is that the printer will be after the print job is printing another page of alignment. Is there a way to stop? Thanks for your help.

  Hello TheDeerSlayer,

  When you clean the print heads, you should try to not clean the part where ink is coming out of it (nozzles). It is very easy to damage them and if it happened, most likely the only way to solve the problem is to replace the print head. There are two things, you might try to see if you can get the print head working properly again: first thing is to clean the sensor that checks the nozzles. It is located on the right side of the printer at the bottom of the area in which the cart moves, it looks like a strip of metal which is only visible when the transport is located on the side more to the right of the printer. Be sure to use a cloth moistened with cold water. What you might try if this does not solve the problem and the nozzles are just clogged with ink and not really damaged, is to heat water (almost boiling point) and then soak the part of the printhead whith the nozzles in the water for some time. Let the printhead to dry and then install again and see if it works now.

  This picture is of you can location of the sensor that checks the print head nozzles. The image is not so great and is an another printer, but it is located in the same place on Officejet Pro 8000.

  

• HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless printer: Always be streak on copies vertical white

  HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless printer: Still get a vertical white streak down the photos. I changed the yellow/black printhead. Only one aid note said I should try to clean the scanner glass. Where is the scanner glass, and how to do for her?

  Other options to get rid of the vertical line?  Thank you.

  Hello

  It sounds like a problem with the printer itself, because it is indeed a vertical GIS. A cartridge problem would cause a horizontal issue. You can tru is the cleaning of transport, stem from the metal bar that you see in the printer, and carefully clean the Strip transparant. This with a lot of attention that its rather delicate and if it breaks the device is ready for the trash.

• OfficeJet Pro 8000 A809- and ePrint

  According to this document, my printer HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809-should support the apps mobile ePrint. To do this, however, it seems that the printer needs an e-mail address. I looked through the built-in Web server and cannot find anything on an e-mail address for the printer. (This printer does not have an interactive control / display.)

  Can someone tell me if the printer has an e-mail address, and how do I access it? Or is there another way to make it work with ePrint? Thank you!

  Hi, your printer is not capable ePrint has therefore not his own e-mail address. However, it is compatible with the application print ePrint mobile that does not require the pritner to have an e-mail address. When it is installed on a mobile device (smartphone or Tablet) the app should search for your printer to the printer and the device are on the same WiFi network. Here is a link where you can find more information about the print application mobile ePrint http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/smart-phones-handhelds-calculators/mobile-apps/app_details.html?app=tcm:245 - 1220078 & platform = tcm:245 - 1220080

• Several problems: OfficeJet Pro 8000 Wireless

  We bought a HP OfficeJet Pro Wireless for our two Macs and it has been a nightmare. I searched the forums and help guides and hope you can help me solve problems.

  It takes 10 minutes to start the printer each time. There are many ringing and noises.

  Once it's finally, finally upon it still cannot print. I then usually to reinstall the software from the CD using the USB cable and not wireless for its work, which it will then be exactly once before that I then need to use the printer, turn it on and it will not print.

  I tried all the configurations that I can think of nothing doesn't.

  Currently, I just turned on and I have a message saying the printer is low on ink and I can't print. I have used this printer exactly 5 times, and there is no way that it is out of ink.

  I apologize if I look petulant, I have simply never had these problems with any material and am worried that we have made a very bad investment. I'd appreciate someone really can give advice.

  Thank you very much! -Rachel

  I understand your frustration.  Here are some tips:

  1. do not turn off your printer.  If you MUST activate it offshore, it is with a power strip or unplugging the power cord.  Your printer will use ink (and a little of it) to start each time you put it on.  This is particularly true if the printer do not have power during his time off the power.  You will bleed your dry ink cartridges very quickly this way.  All the rumbling you hear is the sound of suck ink through the nozzles to clean them.

  2. set a static IP address for your printer.  Choose a number outside the range 192.168.1.64 to 192.168.1.237 than your HomeHub uses to deliver dynamic IP addresses.  192.168.1.50 is a nice round number.  Here's how:

  -Print a the front of the printer Network Setup Page. Note the IP address of the printer.
  -Enter the IP address in a browser to reveal the internal settings of the printer.
  -Choose the network tab, then wireless along the left side, then on the IPv4 tab.
  -Click on the manual button IP and enter:
  for the IP address 192.168.1.50
  255.255.255.0 for the subnet
  Let the gateway and DNS white
  -Click 'apply '.

  Now, stop the router and printer, start the router, wait, and then start printing.

  Remove and re-add the printer in the print queue:

  -Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
  -Select the printer in question and click the sign less down the list
  -Select the sign + to add again. Search for the printer, select it, and wait until the button 'Add' becomes available. Until it clicks.

  If this does not work, do the same thing, only instead of the second stage, right (control), click the box of the print queue and select Reset Printing System.

• OfficeJet Pro 8000 Wireless does not connect to my new Airport Extreme router

  I've owned my Officejet 8000 Wireless printer for about a year and had no problems with it.  However, my old wireless router wasn't fully compatible Mac so I couldn't fix it with a password.  I now need a secure network, so I bought an Apple Airport Extreme router in December.

  Last night, I installed the router and it works fine on my iMac, my laptop and my iPhone.

  However, tonight, I'm trying to implement Officejet Pro 8000 with no luck.  I searched the posts here for 3 hours and am not finding the help I need.  Based on the other posts, I read, I describe my situation below.

  I am trying to set up the printer in my iMac Intel with Mac OS 10.6.4

  I'm trying to set up the printer with the installation wizard HP I just install the printer software.

  On the first screen of the wizard, it tells me that my device is not configured (I agree)

  Then I ask him to set up a wireless network.

  When I get to the network selection page, both my network AND my network of comments (that I let my neighbor use) are on the list with the full signal strength.

  When I click on my network and then continue, the HP installation wizard hangs and I have to stop, he.

  When I click on my guest and then network continue, I get the message that my network is not within reach.  (FYI, the printer is 10 feet from the router).

  I tried to power on/off the printer, the router and the computer at all different stages of the process with no luck.

  For my Airport:

  My radio is set to the most compatible choice

  MAC access control is not enabled

  Everything is WPA2 security

  'Use wide channels' and "Create a closed network" is unchecked

  The channel is set to 11

  I'm happy to try the "Add client in the network" thing I've seen on other posts, but I don't think that I have a front panel of the printer where I can start the "WPS" (don't know what it is) process.   If I do, it is not obvious and not in the HP manual.

  My ISP is Comcast (cable internet).

  I'd really, really grateful for the help!  Please let me know what I forgot to include information, and I will be happy to provide it.

  Thank you!

  OK to reset the printing system again, he may be blocked.

• HP Officejet Pro 8000: HP Officejet Pro 8000 installation CD

  Hello Forum,

  I recently had to fix my printer. Since I reconnected it it I lost my ability to print network for my laptop. The printer is connected to my turn, and it prints fine from there. I tried loading installation / setup CD to join the process of network connectivity, but (I guess since many updates of Windows 7 because I bought the printer & my system) all I get is the error message.

• OfficeJet pro 8000: Officejet pro 8000 prints the part of the document

  Have a problem with both networking Officejet pro 8000's. If you print a paginated document 4, printing two pages and stops, then 2 minutes he feeds a white sheet of paper in the printer, the printer hangs then error light on, who need to power cycle to restart. The network is in a school, unused printers for a few weeks, before now, they both work as it should.

  This problem is with a laptop with free Wi - Fi. However, even 4-page document sent to another that officejet pro 8000 prints as it should, and prints as it should when sent to a photocopier.

  The network of small schools there are ten computers wired to office, after trying to print from one of them, the same problem occurs with 2 of 4 pages printing, then a white sheet, then the printer hangs. This desktop computer will also print the same document on the photocopier without problem.

  Not very well where to go with this, help please!

  Problem solved, simply wanted the new cartridges!, but what I do not understand why the part of a document of four pages would be absolutely fine print, all the colors print as they should, then stop and hang. Power cycle printer, exactly the same result. Exactly the same on both 8000 printers?

• HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless: Unable to print labels on my HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless color inkjet printer

  Hello Forum,

  I don't want to appear redundant, however, I always have the same problem, cannot print on different media (for example. Labels, Matt / glossy papers, etc.) other than plain white paper. As I said in my original post (below), I tried different settings, different programs, etc., without any result. The printer does that pass through without printing media, leaving the error / blinking yellow light.

  I believe that this printer is able to manage different media other than paper white just to 'stick '. Again, I ask your help to solve this problem. It is and has been, very frustrating trying to overcome this restriction of printing!

  Thank you all!

  (Original post)

  I can't get my HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless inkjet color printer to print CD / DVD labels. I have tried various printer / paper options but the printer just feeds the media (in this case 'Fellows' brand matte CD 2-top) then spits it right back with result error amber light flashing.

  Printing has a sensor that determines if the paper is loaded and feeding properly into the printer.  If you print on media that is colored or printed features we can confuse the sensor.

  One thing to try - cut a strip of the sticky part of a post-it note maybe 1 "wide by 1/4".  Attach it to the top left of the sheet of labels on the side to be printed, the long side on the short side of the paper.  This will then put face down into the printer, with the band on the upper right of the tray paper.  After printing, you can remove it and reuse it for the next page.

  Is it possible to upgrade Photosmart Studio? or re-start it? I'm lost and need help.

  If you always reminants of the HP software meant for 10.4, you must uninstall the software by using the "scrubber".  If you have already uninstalled, reinstall from the CD, then:

  Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP
  Click on continue
  Highlight your device in the left pane
  Hold down the Ctrl and Opt Cmd and click on uninstall< scrubber="">
  There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall all hp software. (At this point, if you continue, all HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
  Click on continue and let it finish

  Restart your Mac

  Now run a software update.

  Finally, download and install the "Full Featured" driver and software from the "Support & drivers" link at the top of this page.
