Office jet 6700 Premium: Officejet 6700 on El Capitan installation generates error message

My Officejet 6700 would print but it would print in grayscale color). I downloaded the HP - inkjet ink-SW-OSX - Mavericks_v12.34.51 (I note was released in October 2015, but also notes that the Mavericks is two itterations - old Yosemite was the next and now its El Capitan). I deleted my old HP 6700 driver and tried to install the new driver. But I get an error. I was going to attach screenshots of the error msg but do not see this option. I tried several times with the same result. Even tried to download driver HP - inkjet ink-SW-OSX - Mavericks_v12.34.51 a 2nd time.

The driver should not be accurate for El Capitan instead of Mavericks, i.e. There are two OSs?

I felt like I was in a 'catch 22' because I had deleted my old driver and now the new driver is not install and now I had no driver with which to print... so, I slept on it and went back just to try the 'install new printer' "printer & fax" introduced in system preferences. Here, I was introduced to here, and optionally 'Air Print', I chose! This works. Thus, it is apparently a bug in the HP - inkjet ink-SW-OSX - Mavericks_v12.34.51 driver installation routine if you attempt to add a printer during the installation / implementation, but if you install the new driver and then just go to System Preferences and add a printer, everything is ok ;-)

    Hello

    The printer is supported by OS X 10.5 and above, as you can see by the specifications below:

    http://www.shopping.HP.com/shopping/PDF/cn583a.PDF

    Try to set another pilot to get printing features and get a limited feature scan using Webscan via your browser.

    You will not be able to get all the features as the installation will fail on OS X 10.4

    1. In the Application's folder, go to the utilities subfolder and open The printer setup utility.
    2. In the printer list that appears, click Add.
    3. In windows, from the menu above, select default browser.
    4. Highlight the printer 6700 and spend the menu popup using Print .
    5. Select HP in this menu and then locate the HP Deskjet 6500 must fit into the operating system.

    To scan, use the feature of Webscan.

    You will need enable the feature of Webscan first:

  • Office Jet 6700 Premium: unable to print from 6700 JO unless I wake up

    Hello

    The appellant here desperate because I cannot solve this ongoing problem.

    System set up:

    Office Office

    HP Office Jet 6700 premium

    Wire in a BT Home Hub

    Laptop HP EVO, running wireless

    Problem:

    I can no longer print the laptop wireless. I need to go to my office and print something. Then only the printer seems to be "awake", and then I can print from the laptop. As you can imagine this is not how it is supposed to be and this causes a lot of frustration.

    The printer is also set for a static IP address (it was to solve other printing problems ). I also checked the firmware, and it is up to date.

    Please tell us how to solve this problem.

    Thanking you in advance

    Wolfgang

    Hi @Klee66,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that your HP Office Jet 6700 Premium do not wake up when you print on it, unless you wake up before hand. I'd be happy to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

    There could be many reasons why this is happening, so please bear with me.

    I see what your printer firmware is up to date, which is good.

    • Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector) This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

    Please try Fix It tool of Microsofts, solve printer problems.

    You do not share the printer from the computer desktop you have in sharing files and printing? Otherwise, this could cause part of the problem.

    Do you turn the printer power on and off?

    I can't see what your printer is connected to the BT Hub with an ethernet cable.

    It is possible that the laptop is connected to the printer cannot communicate on the 5.0 GHz network. If they are of the same name that will be confusing.

    Have you tried to configure the wireless and no cable connection on the printer to see if it makes a difference?

    How old is the router, have you also checked to see if the router firmware is up-to-date?

    Is the router dual-band? Two networks are the same SSID for 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz? If so, change the SSID to 5.0 GHz to a different name and restart all devices.

    What router do you have to BT?

    I suggest you read this article by BT, I have problems of connection of 5 GHz and features dual band wireless BT Home Hub 4 or 5 Hub.

    I see that you have setup a static IP address. It's a good idea to assign the printer a static IP address outside your DHCP range. For example, some routers default DHCP is located between 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.200. So, I would use 192.168.0.232.

    While in SAP, open the network tab, and then select IPv4.

    Set the manual DNS on the printer.

    • Set the primary DNS as 8.8.8.8
    • And the secondary DNS as 8.8.4.4

    I would like to try the steps in this guide, HP printers - printer (Windows 8) "offline" Status Message.

  • My HP Office Jet 6700 Premium has suddenly stopped printing from my iPad

    I have a new HP Office Jet 6700 Premium

    It worked very well, wireless printing from my iPad.

    iPad displays a window that recognizes the printer, but it does not print.

    There is no error message.

    The steps below a usually resolve the problem you are experiencing:

    1. turn off the printer.

    2. completely turn off iOS devices (hold sleep and home buttons simultaneously until a message appears prompting you to "Slide to power off". Drag on this bar, and it should completely turned off).

    3. turn the printer on.

    4. switch on the devices iOS back.

    5 try printing again.

    These steps usually fix the problem. If they don't, try these additional steps:

    6. power cycle your router (usually done by unplugging the power cord from the router, wait 20 seconds and in him plugging back in).

    7. ensure that iOS devices and the printer are connected to the same network, and then try to print.

  • answering machine software for HP office jet 6700 premium?

    Hi Windows 8.

    As the office jet 6700 is attached to the phone line is a software feature (or 3rd party software) which allows the PC to act as the answering machine?

    I know that in the old days of dial-up Modem software such has been ubiquitous.

    I just want to cut my old answering machine for the configuration of the installation if possible loop.

    Thanks for your suggestions.

    Rob.

    Sorry, there is no functionality of software to allow the Pc to act as the answering machine. The answering machine is connected to the printer because it detects the printer calls.

    When a call comes, the printer reacts and reads as follows the line of the signals. He sends the call to the correct line (fax, phone or answering machine). This is the reason why the answering machine is connected to the printer. The computer will not be able to accept or guided calls or pick them up. Thanks for asking though, maybe in the future.

  • Office Jet 6700: HP Office jet 6700, I try to print it says printer ready, file print empty!

    I have a HP Office Jet 6700. I am trying to print a document, it will say print Untitled. The print queue of the printer will open and say printer is print ready, empty file, Idle.

    It is automatically paused printer. When I try to click on the document itself in the print queue and resume printing it gives the same message.

    Power on the printer flashes slowly as well.

    I hae rebooted my computer and restart the printer completely several times and it still didn't work. I printed just something about this last night so I don't know what the problem is.

    Hello! Welcome to the @Chinadoll702 forums

    I read your post on printing problems you encountered on your Mac running 10.6 and your Officejet 6700. I have some ideas in mind to start and I would like to know the results and we will take it from there.

    Update the firmware of the printer: get the latest Firmware and updates

    Be able to reset the printer and make sure the printer is plugged directly into the wall, avoiding bars power and surge protectors. This ensures that the printer is full on and can help greatly.

    Press the power button to turn the product on.
    With the product, unplug the power cord from the back of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the back of the product.
    If the product does not light by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.

    Make a few copy then and tell me if the copies suspend, cancel, do not work, etc.

    Try to print the text change on your Mac as well and get back to me with the results.

    Good luck

  • Office Jet 6700 will not control panel scan. ideas please

    Office Jet 6700 will not control panel scan. ideas please, everything else works fine and happy with printer

    Have you tried to perform a full power cycle on the system and try the analysis immediately after that everything is turned on?

    • Unplug the router all-in-on
    • Wait 30 seconds
    • Plug the router back in power and wait until it completely initialize
    • Restart the PC
    • Unplug the printer while on
    • Wait 30 seconds
    • Plug the printer back in direct power

    So, have you tried to disable your firewall and protection scan from the front panel of the printer?  Sometimes a firewall service will see the printer as a threat and block incoming traffic.  However, based on the analysis of gets it PC around as she reaches out to the device, rather than the reverse.

  • HP Solution Center Software - Office Jet 6700 (windows 7 and windows 8)

    Hello

    My sister and MOM had bought the Office Jet 6700 711.

    My sister's computer is running windows 8 64-bit.  I installed the complete software driver and hp solution center software is not included.  I have search the forum for resolutions and tried to download the driver from hp again and received the same results.

    With what is included with the current and complete driver for the Office Jet 6700 711n, you are able to create new analysis of the profiles of short cut, but you cannot update the printer with custom shortcut profile.

    I call support and got a person in the Philippines under the name of Régine.  I spent 45 minutes on the phone telling him what it was.  Since she was not able to solve the problem, I asked to speak to an engineer to see if the question could be put together.  She told me that she would have some call me within two hours.  I spoke to the hp representative on 21/07/2013.  From this announcement, I have not heard of hp.  It's very sad.

    Since my sister requires no custom scan profiles, she decides to keep the printer.  But my mom is in real estate and it scans many documents and must be able to create the custom scan profile shortcuts on the printer, so that the final pdf file gets not so great.  Due the fact that I have not heard of hp, I suggested that we go back to the printer.  Today, we returned the printer to Costco.

    But, I would get a solution for my sister.  Any ideas?  I highly doubt that hp will remind me.

    Myself, I usually can understand that because I work as a 2nd layer support analyst for a major software company.  If I told a customer that I would call them back within a certain time, I would.

    I know that the service request was probably shut down so that a survey was sent not.

    Thank you

    Hello ressa.

    You're right, that center of Solution is not included with the new printers. HP has completely changed the software program. You are also right in your statement on the creation and registration of shortcuts "scan" with the software. However, the Panel before 'scan' options cannot be changed as old printers. I hope this helps you understand.

  • Office Jet 8600 Premium: printing from iPhone to non - Airprint Office Jet

    I'm trying to set up a simple network. I have a router Linksys, Windows 7 computer, HP Office Jet 8600 Premium and a few iPhones.  I want to be able to print from the computer and print wireless from iPhones.

    My first thought was to connect the computer and the printer to the router using Ethernet cables and turn off the radio of the printer.  If I do this, when I connect my iPhone to the network router wireless, will they see the printer and be able to print?

    Or do I need to connect the printer to the wireless router?  If I do this, the computer will still be able to print through the router?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    You can connect the printer to your router with an ethernet cable or wireless.

    As long as the printer and iPhones are connected to the same router, you can print to the printer using AirPrint.

    Kind regards

  • Office jet Pro Premium 8600: print 2 sides

    I use a Macbook Pro OS X 10,11.3.  I also have on my computer Microsoft Office for Mac.  My printer (Office jet Pro Premium 8600) allows a 2 sided printing except if I try to print something from Microsoft Word.  When I try to print with Word, for 2-sided printing option does not appear.

    How can I make 2 sides print with Word?

    Hi @John52387,

    Thank you for your participation in the Forums of HP Support! I'd be happy to help you print 2 sides of the word. I suspect that you may need to select printing 2 sides in another program, and then save these settings as a preset impression. Once you have created this new preset, you can select the preset when you print from Word.

    Although the following Apple article says OS X Yosemite in the title, the instructions also apply to El Capitan: Save your settings to print to use later.

    Thank you. If you need more assistance let me know and I will gladly do whatever I can to help.

  • Office jet 670o Premium: HP Officejet 6700 premium - printhead missing or defective

    I'm having the same error as many others on this forum re: error message suddenly appears saying that the printhead is missing or defective. I followed all steps suggested HP, i.e., unplug the unit, check the ink cartridges, etc.. None of them has nothing to fix or cross the same question. My printer is about 2 years, so more under warranty.  There is no explanation for the cleaning of the printheads on the 6700 and other products do not translate to the 6700.  I watched about 1/4 on the blog, some at the beginning and at the end and that you won't lose my pages in all 12 looking for time to dissatisfied customers.

    And I just bought and installed new ink cartridges that are not cheap.  What a waste...

    Please let me know what I can do would be much less $ than buying a new printer, because it surely won't be a HP.   This is a problem for years and always HP chose not to solve.  they would rather you buy another HP throw.  Good luck!

    I got a call, what was missing Monday, about this incident.  The HP person said they'd call yesterday, they, or they leave a callback number, it's the only way I can answer.  Pls call me on my cell phone, or leave a number that I can reach you.  Thank you.  Dan

  • Office Jet 6700 causes computer crash

    HP 6700 Office Jet all in one my laptop down caucused.  Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I brought this Office and they said that my computer was not repairable. I bought the new laptop and installation of IT people that and it caused the computer crash with blue screen.  A new second round to and same problem.  I won't download your difficulty because I fear that the same thing will happen. I returned the printer at point of purchase. I have read several posts where the same issue occurred and the establishment of retail (Staples) should have knowledge and not sold me the printer.

    Hi drdankan1,

    What is the brand and model of your new laptop?

    How do you have the printer connected to your computer?

    Please make sure that the printer connected to a USB 2.0 PC port and not a USB 3.0 port as the product HP is not compatible with USB 3.0.

    Also make sure you have the latest USB drivers installed on your computer.

    There are a growing number of messages in this forum and elsewhere in the internet with the steps to do a reset on different printers.  Reset to will sometimes fix problems, so resetting is not the issue.

    A few resets require you to enter key combinations to open special menus on your printer that you were supposed to never access.  These special menus are used by developers and staff support for debugging of problems, but they are not intended for inexperienced users and can have unexpected results.  A wrong button push and you might no longer have a printer, but rather an expensive paper weight.  On top of that, if you happen to the 'brick' the printer in this way, it is considered as customer induced damage and voids the warranty automatically. These resets are only intended to be distributed and used as a last resort and under the direct instruction of a representative of the HP technical support.

  • Officejet 7410 - Remove and check color cartridge error message

    THiiS comes well when printing. Removed, checked and put back, and it was no help. Replacement cartridge and the message remained. Cannot print even in B & W with color removed cartridge. Can not scan or fax then this error message is displayed and I can't delete it.

    Use Office Depot cartridges rebuilt for more than a year without any problems before.

    Updated - I sent an e-mail to HP support. They responded and gave me the order to use to print a Tap 10 report. Had to go to FedEx Kinko's to have scanned and put on a memory stick ($0.99). And sent to HP as an attachment. Two hours later, they responded stating that the cartridge was bad. Strange that took place with 2 cartridges Office Depot, but in any case I took the cartridge back to Office Depot and they exchangec (more than $8.00) for genuine HP. Plugged inside and problem solved. Congratulations to Office Depot and HP support.
