    OfficeJet pro 8600 print a single vertical black line when using the charger

    Hi @realestatejeann,

    I see that you have found one black vertical line when using the ADF. With a few steps, we should be able to solve this problem.

    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.

  • OfficeJet 4630: 4630 Officejet won't print black ink

    My Officejet 4630 is 6 months old. I bought it when my previous HP printer (which was more than 2 years) stopped printing black ink. This printer is doing the same thing. I searched the forums and the internet for a solution, nothing works.

    I just changed the black ink cartridge today because he missed. I put in a geniune, brand new, HP black ink cartridge. Print the page alignment and the black ink was very uneven/faded. I scanned the pagae alignment and it has 'failed '. Printed a new alignment page, no black ink at all on this one. Then of course, the scan which has as well. I went through so many pages of reports to the printer, print quality, printer alignment pages, it's RIDICULOUS. I took the cartridge out and put it again. The printer off, he turned his back. NOTHING WORKS. This printer, which I paid a lot of money for, turns out to be useless!

    I'm NOT going to 'send this home' which seems to be the only solution I've found that I have not yet tried. If there is no solution for this problem that I can do myself so this printer is crap and I don't want that. And if this is really the case, I will never buy an HP product again because this is the SECOND time I had this problem. What is an unreliable product and brand.

    If anyone has a solution for this, I would be acknowledging the entry.

    I have exhausted the alignment and clean the print head options with no fix. However, I found a page on HP (a little hidden and I can not find yet) who said to get out the black cartridge and place the face upward all night. I did that last night, put in this morning and boom, new black ink printing!

  • 7500 a OfficeJet won't print tabloid specific size drawing

    HP Officejet 7500 a - firmware EMP1FN1206AR

    Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (all the updates of Windows; last 7500 a driver before Windows 8 has been added)

    Wireless USB - off

    No error message

    All of the current drivers due to attempt to solve the other problem "slow printing download/start".

    I print architectural drawings on "tabloid - small margin" all the time on this printer without any problems except on the rare occasions a page will not print.  All pages are printed from Adobe Reader.  Work seems to continue to download page in the spooler, the printer makes noise to start and print anything - he does not even feed the paper.  There are no errors reported anywhere.

    Another office on the same network has an Epson 1400 that I use sometimes (but not always): it prints the page very well, every time, from the same computer on the same network.

    I have available for download page, if someone wants to help you determine if this is my system compared to the printer.

    Any help is appreciated - thank you in advance.

    Hi JLJJA,

    Which is a good new that the printer is not the cause of the problem with the exception that now there are new questions you will need to isolate. It is possible that Adobe or something in the operating system on your computer contributes to this problem. Good luck to try to isolate the cause. You can try to uninstall the printer and then reinstall with the current software of the Web site. This can come back to the question on your computer. I've included a few steps for uninstalling and reinstalling for you to try below. Thanks for being patient while fix us it. Let me know what you find?

    Follow the steps below to uninstall and reinstall the printer.

    1. open Control Panel

    2. click on uninstall a program

    3 uninstall Officejet 8500 from the list

    4 restart your computer

    5. download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player

    http://www.Adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

    6 download the drivers and full software functionality, and then reinstall the printer.

  • OfficeJet 8625e: 8625 Officejet won't print duplex automatically

    The Officejet 8625 CAN print double-sided because it does when HP sent an update of new NBC, but when I try to print my file, it offers only two-sided manual.  I don't have time for that.  How can I get it to automatically print double-sided.

    The default value for the installation of the driver may have been that the duplexer is not enabled.  You can activate the duplexer as follows: click Start, devices and printers, click with the right button on the Officejet Pro 8625, the properties of the printer, the parameters of the device, Installable Options. the value of the duplex unit to installed, apply, OK.

  • 4630 OfficeJet won't print not but scan

    I try again because I don't want to send to the printer back: my PC, Windows 7 Home Premium, 8 GB RAM, knows that the printer is there but does not print to it. In, for example, Word, the printer appears as a loan, based on printing seems to work when the dialog is showing which pages are printed, but in fact, nothing comes out. Looking at the printer itself, it shows, very briefly, "queue" and then that's it. I tried to stop and restart the printer spooler. I also tried to uninstall and reinstall the printer software. I initially installed the software by downloading it. I then tried to install it from the CD.

    Print from other computers. My wife printing from a Windows 8 and I printed from a Windows 7 laptop.

    I ran Dr. printer/scanner and it reports no problems. First when asked to print a test page, nothing happens. When asked to print an internal test page, by clicking on the button produces a page.

    I can scan a page using my computer, so it is not the link that is the problem.

    I would like to round support directly, but I can't get a US phone number.

    I managed to get on the online HP support and they set up a different printer driver for me. It works now.

  • OfficeJet 5740: Cannot print duplex automatically and can not connect wireless

    So, I recently bought a new laptop for academic purposes. Back in September, I bought the HP Officejet 5740 because it could print wireless and can print double sided also.

    Everything worked perfectly fine when I was using Windows 8. In microsoft office, that I could see the option to print double-sided and had no difficulty, printing or the connection to the wireless printer.

    Then, I upgraded my computer to windows 10. I downloaded the hp driver and tried to add the printer several times and did not get it to connect successfully. Moreover, I see more two-sided printing option. I have the option to print one, or to manually return the documents to make it double sided.

    I downloaded the driver installed the printer and uninstalled the printer a LOT, a LOT of time with nothing doesn't. Please help me. I really only print in powerpoint and word, so it is very important to have this ability.

    For the connectivity problem, I would say the Print and Scan doctor, you can download it from HP to http://www.hp.com/go/tools.

    For the duplex issue make sure the duplex module is selected.  Click on start, devices and printers, click with the right button on the Officejet 5740, select printer, device settings, both installable and set properties automatic duplexing on installed unit, apply, OK.

  • HP Officejet 6500 a more impossible to connect to the server

    My HP Officejet 6500 a more printer was connected to my wireless network and was attached to the ePrint service; and I had an email address to send prints to my printer. But today, when I go to the ePrint, it shows that my printer is NOT connected to the SERVER!

    He invites me to go to the Setup menu option / Services Web Setup / email address Panel on the printer display. And, when I do that, it shows me: "you can connect the printer to the itenrnet through a proxy server and touch the ENTER PROXY button! I do not know what Proxy Server, he is asked? And when I get soemthing, it then asks a PORT number! Still, I don't know what is the Port! My printer is still connected to my home wireless network.

    Then I went back to HP ePrintCenter page and REMOVED my printer and then tried to ADD a printer, but, now, he asks me to "enter the printing Code.

    When I tried to enter the print code I had on the file, it says that the code was not valid; the codes are ONLY good for 24 hours, and I have to get a new printing code to return to the configuration of the printer menu steps described above!

    Looks like I'm stuck in a vicious circle.

    I would appreciate your help. Thank you.

    To correct the unable to connect to a web server error. I'd start by power cycling the router and the printer. If still we get the error that I will then try to put a static DNS server built-in web printer (EWS).

    To power cycle the router:

    1. unplug the router (most do not have a power button) and then put
    the printer off using the power button
    2. wait 30 seconds
    3 plug in the router, wait until it is completely upward and the operation.
    4 turn on printer
    5. after the printer is completely top and operational reattempt to connect to web services

    If after that, you still get the error message, I had put the static DNS. To do this:
    1 get the IP address of the printer, and then make a browser (IE, Chrome, any browser you want) and enter
    IP address of the printer in the address bar. This will bring up the SEWS
    2. search for the network titled tab and click on it
    3. then click on IPv4 in the left column, wired / wireless depend on the connection, if connected by Ethernet
    Choose wired, wireless select wireless
    4. when loading this page watch the second part entitled 'Configuration of the DNS addresses' change this radio
    Manual button and change the DNS preferred manual to 8.8.8.8 and manual to auxiliary DNS
    8.8.4.4 and then click on apply.
    5. pay particular attention the following screen which appears this message usually is a way to undo changes only
    made by clicking on the OK"" button. Avoid this by clicking another tab
    or just leave it until you close it.
    6 turn the printer of the cycle and then turn it back on
    7. once the printer is back on and retry operation, activate web
    services and reprint information page so that you can get a new code and add your printer back to ePrint Center. You will need to create a new e-mail address for the printer.

  • HP Officejet 6500 has plus: HP Officejet 6500 a more impossible to connect to the server

    My printer can detect my wireless network, but does not connect to it. Problem started with my MAC a few months ago, but he persists even with my new HP laptop.

    I thought I could have network problems, so upgrade my router (Linkys at Linkys))... still problem. Comcast upgraded my router (Linkys multifunction ARRIS) again and the problem persists.

    I tried cycling power offshore for the router and the printer.

    Even my scanner picks up signals from the printer. I don't know where's the disconnect?

    Printer:

    HP Officejet 6500 a Plus e-All-in-One - E710n

    A few ideas

    If you have not done for awhile, you may download and install a new copy of the software full functionality.  Reference: install the full features software - printer

    If the printer is located where you can do so, you could try a wired connection to the router.

    You could try the printer of the assign a static IP address.

    Make sure that there is at least 1 meter / 3 feet between the printer and all wireless devices you want to connect.  Too much is as bad as too far away...

    Paw through all ideas / suggestions / information in the exceptional User Guide of this printer - network setup Section starting on Page 222.

    Try to use as not only a static IP address, but also a hard to connect to your ISP DNS information.

  • Printer HP Photosmart 5520: Unable to connect to the computer

    I recently set up my HP Photosmart 5520, including with web connected HP services. My laptop immediately after the passage of the printer, I am able to print correctly. However, after some time, the connection between the printer and the laptop is lost and when I try to print, I get an error message:

  • USB printer on a Vista wireless network connects to the laptop Vista.

    The printer is a Kodak AiO ESP 3, connected via USB to a desktop Vista Home built.  Second office is a homebuilt XP, which has no printing the printer problem.  It detects automatically.  Laptop is a Toshiba L305D-S5928, also running Vista Premium family, installed at the factory.  Laptop computer "sees" the printer installed on the desktop when it tries to connect, I get a message that says: it cannot connect to it.  It is as it tries to connect to it as if the printer is a wireless printer, and this isn't.

    Make sure that the printer is Vista Compatible and you have installed the latest Kodak printer drivers for the Vista machine.

  • 7500 a OfficeJet won't print from the Internet

    My printer portable e-all-in-one Officejet 7500 a wide can suddenly will not print on the Internet after that only three years ago. What could be the problem and how to fix it?

    Thank you very much for this information.  Welcome to the forums.  Have you tried using another browser?  Like, if you use Internet Explorer from now (blue e icon), try Google Chrome or Firefox or vice versa.  So it is rare that you get a problem where you cannot print from the internet it is likely an internet option.  You can go to tools > > Internet Options > > and see what your security settings are defined on (they are maybe too high).

    You can also click on the button "print...". "and see which printer is trying to print or to search for error messages.

    Once again, this is general advice only.  If you would like more information, I have to know the name of the web browser you are using (IE10, Chrome, Firefox, etc.) just so I can give you more details because I'm always happy to help you.

    Hey Mardellew,

    Thank you for the update.  It is strange that these paper sizes are not appear.  This is probably due to a conflict between software driver.  The next step, I would recommend is to swap to a different driver such as the Deskjet 9800 driver who also has these available paper sizes.  For more information about how to exchange for another pilot, please click here.

  • 4620 OfficeJet won't print black
