OfficeJet 6500 began suddenly printing documents less than full size

What setting I should do and how can I do?

Thank you

Hi hmcgee3,

Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see your HP Officejet 6500 has begun printing documents less then enlarged.   I would be delighted to help you to save and print actual size but requires a bit more information:

1. what program you print from?

2. What is your current operating system, Windows or Mac and what version?

3. How is the printer connected, USB or wireless?

4. do you get an error message when you try to print?

5. If you open wordpad or webpage you are able to get a full impression?

If you have a Windows operating system later than XP, please start here: HP print and Scan Doctor- it was designed by HP to provide users with troubleshooting and problem-solving features needed to solve many common problems encountered with HP print and scan products related to Windows computers.

Please let me know what the PSDR find, I'll watch for your reply.

Thank you

    My 6500 left suddenly printing in black ink. He tells me as suddenly all my color cartridges were low and after replacing all color cartridges, said again that the magenta was low. After hours of searching the Web, I found a solution to my problem which I hope will be able to help others.

  • Jobs FRUSTRATED stuck in the queue on Officejet 6500 with IP printing

    I'm especially frustrated because I just typed in many details, and when I click on "Preview" my text disappeared. Thank you, HP!

    Like others, I have an Officejet 6500 E709n. Print a test page, the diagnosis, the HP printer utility page, I cannot print any document. "They simply wander in the queue with the message host ' 192.168.2.6 network ' is busy. retrying in 10 seconds... forever. Yes, I tried to delete and add the printer again and he gets found very well.

    I can print with USB.

    I can print with Hello (but which is slow, so I turned off)

    It's okay if my OS X 10.5.8 laptop is connected wirelessly or through ethernet.

    The printer is connected to the router Wireless Ethernet. At the present time, my mac is connected to the same router by ethernet. I just started the HP printer utility and printed page setup very well, showing the ink levels.

    I'm guessing that it is a problem of intellectual property, and that the HP printer utility uses a different protocol to connect to the printer. Yes?

    Fine, I can print from Windows 7 computer that is connected by ethernet on the same network. IP addresses are correctly reserved.

    Please, someone help. I have a forthcoming major surgery and won't be able to walk upstairs to the office, so I really want to be able to print wireless from below. I bet once wired print jobs, the wirelss go, too.

    Well well, thanks to the kind soul who wrote this:

    You can also modify an existing printer driver:

    (1) system preferences > Print & Fax

    2) click your printer

    3) click on the Options button & supplies

    4) click on the driver tab at the top

    (5) in 'print using... '. "drop-down, choose Select printer software...

    (6) locate HP OfficeJet Pro L7700 in the list

    I followed the instructions to turn my printer OfficeJet OfficeJet Pro L7700 6500n driver. Let the JetDirect Protocol.

    Now I can print when connected to the Ether - and I can print duplex. AND I can print wireless.

    To sum up: If your print jobs stuck in the queue to print on a HP OfficeJet 6500n, but you can ping the printer or you connect via the HP printer utility, the following workaround solution:

    Change the IP to JetDirect Protocol

    Change the 6500n to OfficeJet Pro L7700 OfficeJet printer driver.

    SOLVED.

    I don't know how all this relates to MS Windows, but maybe you could try HP support regarding problems with your printer, for example.

  • My HP officejet 6500 will not print in colour without black. I tried to run the diagnostic, turning / of

    My HP officejet 6500 will not print in colour without black.  I tried to run diagnostics, turning on/off, changing the cartridge, mop up the cart - ink, withdrawal and the cartridges, printing a test page.  All to nothing does not.

    I continued to deepen the forum and found what was a soluntion for me.  I went to the configuration selected, then went to tools, it chose and then select printhead cleaning.  The first time that he clean the printhead, I only got six rectangles colored at the bottom of the test page printed.  My screen then asked if I wanted to get another clean process and I said YES.  Low and behold, the test print page not only the FCMA out with 6 colored rectangles but also tons of alphabets in black.  Hooray! His works again.  Hope this works for you.

  • My Officejet 6500 more suddenly stopped printing wirelessly from my iPad 2

    After working perfectly for several months, my 6500Plus HP E710n Officejet-z does not print wireless from my iPad2 or my iPhone 4 s. I use version 5.0.1 on these devices and had used this version before that the printing problem. I get the following message: "Officejet 6500 E710n-z [11E2A9] the printer is no longer available." The printer works fine (without thread) of my MacBook Pro in OS X 10.6.8 version. I "think" that there was an update from HP before it started, but I'm not sure of the timing. Any ideas on how I can get these mobile devices wireless print again?

    What router?  Reboot the router by pulling its plug momentarily.

    If this does not work, we will set an IP address of the printer:

    -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.
    -On this screen, you want to set a manual IP address. You must assign an IP address outside the range that the router sets automatically (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') 250
    -Apply the subnet 255.255.255.0 (unless you know it's different, if so, use it)
    -Enter the IP of your router (on the Page of the Network Config) for the gateway.
    -Enter for the first DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for second DNS.
    -Click 'apply '.

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

    After that, you will have to redo 'Add printer' using the new IP address.

  • OfficeJet 6500 printer E710n-z: Officejet 6500 E710n-z printer is not printing but it says printing doc is printing

    Hp Officejet 6500 printer - E710n - z does not print documents from my PC but will copy the documents placed in the tray of the printer. I set it up as a network printer with a wifi modem in another room. I used the Control Panel, click right in the image of the printer and done research failure, checked the driver (this is the last) and the control panel tells me that the document prints, but nothing happens. I am trying to print with margins of 0.5cms word documents. I tried with 0cm margins and some print and others don't which is the reason why I changed the margins to 0.5cms. I get a warning that the print area is greater than the margin and that some of the document will be lost, but that's okay for me because I am a printing table and you want to cut the paper along the lines of the grid.

  • OfficeJet 6500 has MORE printing problem

    Y at - it a setting to load the paper? My print jobs is now too high on paper. I have recently updated my computer to Windows 8.1 but I do not know if this concern began before after I've changed computers. I printed the page diagnosis and the letters are about 1/3 cut top

    Welcome to the mike325 forums

    I saw your post on your Officejet 6500 more model cut your impressions. I suggest an alignment running on the printer to see if that helps. You can also run the HP print and Scan Doctor to solve printing problems and that the tool can help to clear up the problem.

    To help alignment, click here and scroll down until "step 5: align the print head": align print head

  • HP Officejet 6500 has stopped printing, paper white just came out.

    My Officejet 6500 has just stopped printing.  I use a USB connection and my operating system is Windows XP Home Edition.  At first, it was just the text that Wouln't print but the colors would come by, even on test prints.  On a print document the little box comes up showing the data transferred to printer, printer starts but doesn't work with a blank page.  I have uninstalled/reinstalled program, has gone through the full program of the HP Solutions guided, checked all connections, installed the new driver, and yet do not print anything.  Have never had any previous problems since I bought.  I have not recently installed new programs.  Would appreciate any other suggestions.

    After everything I lived, I finally solved the problem.  Although the ink levels showed ink cartridges, I put a new black in one and it works!

    To start, make sure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector. Once completed, this document describes How to solve print quality problems with your printer.

    If after the above, that you are unable to print correctly, the printer must be replaced. You can contact the HP Support by clicking this link and filling out the form below to see what options are available.

  • HP Officejet 6500 will not print in black

    I noticed that my black ink started streak so I replaced the black cartridge, cleaned the print heads and completed an alignment page.  All colors have shown up on the test, except black pages, and black characters who present themselves were incomplete and striated.  I tried to print in black and white, and the pages shoot out of the empty printer.  I've exhausted all failures on HP and had no luck.  Any ideas on what I can try?

    There are 5 different versions of the Officejet 6500. I went with a basic (E710a) model to provide a quality troubleshooting bad print document. This link will give you some troubleshooting steps to try to solve the problem that it lists some you mentioned it but there are only listed steps that were not included in the above post.

    If still the problem, I'd do a manual cleaning the contacts on the print head and on the cartridges to ensure this build up is not a problem. Pages 117-121 of the user manual to describe the process of print head cleaning. Page 234 in the manual gives instructions to clean the contacts on the cartridges too. I hope this helps

  • HP Officejet 6500 a shared printer cannot add computer network to send scan

    HP Officejet 6500 a is shared on my network by another computer. I can print to the printer, but I am not able to scan directly to my computer. I can't add another computer in the options of scan on the front panel of HP. I use Microsoft Windows XP Professional 2002. I also downloaded the installation CD on my hard drive, tried to search by IP address, but always without success. Is it possible to add another computer for instructions to scan, if I'm not connected to the HP printer?

    Hey kapua99,

    If you use the printer in shared USB mode to access over the network, then it will only support basic printing.  Shared network printers allow no detection on the share path.

    If you want to scan from multiple computers on the network, so I recommend linking the Officejet 6500 a directly to the network.  For more information about how to install the printer on an Ethernet network or wireless, click on the link below.
