OfficeJet pro 8500 A, but low use of warranty

This printer has begun to put in place a space at the same position in each line.  For example in this position, a character is printed completely, but in two parts with a space of approximately 1 mm between the parties.  With images, which leaves a line blank at the bottom of the page.  I ran all the checks and cleanup activities, but without effect, there is no error or warning of the printer.

Any ideas?

This looks like a stain on the MICR band that the printer uses to position the printhead during printing.  Clean-up of the band, as explained in this post can help to the problem.  Don't forget to heed the warnings, the coding Strip is fragile and delicate markings which can be damaged by abuse.

    Scan using the ADF puts a vertical line in the middle of the scanned page.  This does not happen when I scan from the flat screen

    Brian, this is going to be a pretty easy fix. What you're going to need to get is a lint cloth (as a microfibre cloth or a filter coffee) and get just a wet touch. Then, open the top of your printer to reveal the glass. There are two sections, one large, and that is a thin strip of glass on the left side. If the line makes its appearance in the ADF scans/copies only - clean this thin section with a moist, lint cloth.

    This should help you!

    Hi @Alaskis1,

    I can help you get the full functionality of the software and the driver for your Officejet Pro 8500. You can use either software package provided on the page of the HP driver or the printer Installation Wizard.

    You can download and install from here: file name: OJ8500_A910_1315 - 1.exe, or as stated, you can download and run the HP printer install wizard for Windows

    The HP printer for window installation wizard was created to help Windows 7, Windows 8, and users Windows 8.1 download and install the latest and most appropriate HP software solution for their HP printer.

  • Cannot start the HP printing software (HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 A910a)

    Hello

    When I double-click the icon of the HP software on my desktop behavior strange results. Nothing opens and my computer behaves erratically. After a while I get the following error messages:

    instancefinderdlg.exe

    werfault.exe

    Then after that - my computer restarts so all by himself. But not a complete reboot - it just goes back to the initial logon screen and I get my password from Windows and displays the desktop.

    I am running Windows Pro 8.1 (64-bit). The printer is set to work wireless.

    After doubleclicking on the HP software icon and wait for the software to open, as I mentioned above, one thing I tried was a ctrl-alt-del and open Task Manager. I checked the services running, and there were multiple instances of a service life of HP (I not only remember the name but there seems to be dozens of the same HP service running).

    I also completely uninstalled all HP software use Revo Uninstaller and then reinstalled the software / driver for the OfficeJet Pro 8500 A910a - but this package did not make a difference; exactly the same problem occurred again.

    It happened only in recent days. Before that, I could double-click the HP software icon and open normally and I was able to check the settings, ink levels, etc. Interestingly, the printer seems to always work well - I can print in Word, print photos from Lightroom, etc. Just, I can't open my desktop HP printing software.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Hi jedasa,

    I guess you can start to feel frustrated. I did some additional research and would like to try a few things. I want to delete the printer Assistant icon, open devices and printers, right-click on your printer and choose open. In the window that opens, please right-click on the Printer Wizard and click on create a shortcut. Now we can go to the desktop and see if it will be open from there. The icon will now by HP in a blue circle and say HP Printer Wizard below (see image below).  If it opens and works, we use this going forward, but if it does not continue with the steps below.

    1. Hold down the Windows Logo key ( ) on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the dialog box run, type %temp%
    2. Delete all files and folders in the temp folder. Choose Skip if all pop ups seem to say all files cannot be deleted
    3. Unplug the USB cable (if connected), open programs and features, click Editor (all HP software will be together now) and uninstall all software associated with the printer. You fill find the basic driver, study for improvement of the product, HP Officejet 8500 help. Be sure to do not uninstall other HP software, especially if your computer is a HP computer. I generally use the date as a reference. Printing software would have all been installed on the same date.
    4. Once the uninstall is complete, reboot the computer
    5. Follow these steps to reset the registry settings and options for Windows Installer.
  • Officejet Pro 8500 printhead don't align

    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? Thank you.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 best has come out very low but the printer works fine.

    I was always able to make great copies.  The quality of the document that I copy is excellent and I've copied before.  Now everything I copy is very low and cannot be read.  The printer works without any problem.

    Hey 1265yankee,

    I see that you have a problem of quality of the copy with your Officejet Pro 8500 (A910) a model-all-in-one.  Have you tried to reset the printer hard and ensured that the device is connected to a wall outlet directly?

    • Unplug the printer while on
    • Unplug the other end of the power cord from the wall jack directly
    • Wait 30 to 60 seconds
    • Plug the unit back to

    Also, take a look at the steps in the document found here.  The document is not directly applicable in the present case, but the steps are the same for your question.

    Let me know how it goes.  If this does not solve your problem, then I have the steps to perform a factory reset on this product to see if an internal reset will be able to get the device to work as expected.

  • ePrint for HP Officejet Pro 8500 a works, but ePrint closed my sign-in account

    I used ePrint with my HP Officejet Pro 8500 has for 2 years and it works very well.  After the last update of software, I tried to connect to my ePrint account to add another user authorized, but the system has forgotten my E-mail address.  I know that I am using the correct E-mail address, because I me reminders for my printer HP mail to that address and it is the only one I use for business, but I can't even trigger a password because the new ePrint says that I do not exist.

    Hi David,

    Click on the link you have forgotten the password of on the connection page and provide your email address to reset the password.

    Last but not least, you have migrated your account with the new HP service connected, then try to recover your password below:

    Fax: The printer receive fax but never prints (now printing... displayed on the screen of the printer up to)

    I'm going to printer and on again.)

    Please help solve the problem. What information do you need?

    I tried both solutions you provided.

    None worked.

    I had the problem with a HP Photosmart 2610 AIO printer that I have had for almost 10 years. Has been using remanufactured ink cartridges and they work perfectly until there are about 3 1/2 months. The printer works now than if I use HP ink cartridges. I'm guessing that some required HP update HP ink cartridge only!

    I have tried everything I know to try and even some suggestions for HP and nothing works. So, I thought to replace the remanufactured cartridges that were installed in my printer 8500 currenty (I had a mixture of HP and refurbished who had worked successfully for a while) with original HP cartridges.  This seems to have solved my problem with printing.

    Of course, there was a HP update that required the printer using HP ink cartridges to perform. Is there anyway that we can get this update? If so, I would like instructions to do it for my two printers.

    Thanking you in advance for a quick response.

    Kind regards!

    HP Officejet Pro 8500 a Premium does not print the docs of the computer, but will display a test page.  I constantly get a message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.   Not only it will be not be printed docs, it will not print web pages using 11 IE or Google Chrome.

    I used print and Scan of doctor, he always reports there are no questions and print page one same test so I can not print anything else.

    Whenever I want to print, I have to restart the computer.  After the reboot, I have a chance to print.   This problem started on February 15, 2015.

    My operating system is Windows 8.1.   I have unintalled HP, rebooted, and then reinstalled the software software:

    OJ8500_A910_1315 - 1.exe

    The desk top is installed with a network card Netgear, I don't know the model, but I had it tested by a PC technology to verify that the card works.   The card and 8.1 of Windows have been installed on January 3, 2015.

    I have run virus scans and analyzes malware.  Whenever they show that there are no problems with my desktop computer.  What kind of desktop? Specially designed for my listing of... without brand computer parts store.  ASUS motherboard P6X580 Premium.  Now I will probably get hacked!

    I'm at my wits end.  And it's frustrating when I need to print something and the system hangs.  I often use screen printing to a word document to save in order to restart... but then I lose all sorts of features when I pick up what I needed.  It is also a time consuming.

    This printer we served well for two years and I have expensive cartridges pending; another two cycles of recharge.

    Help?

    Addendum: can I scan with the HP printer help.  I open the HP printer assistant, he "gets" the printer information, then I select "scan a document or photo" and the printer answers.   I have no problem with the sweep.

    It has been awhile, but I played on something you wrote.  "There could be a software conflict with the HP software" everything worked very well... impression was shifted at best; just didn't know if it would work.  So I would eliminate a program, reboot clean, try to print, and then reinstall the software.  I finally found the culprit.  I had a program running in the background, occasionally.  When it ran, HP does not print.  Stop the program and I was able to print... Do not have a problem since I found it... I do not say that it was a software to share files... so I replaced since this program with something else that doesn't cause problems...  It took a long time and I couldn't work the question every day.... but I can say that I have problems printing for the past 5 days!  I can print with confidence.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 not low ink printing

    I have printer HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g all-in-one wireless.  I use laptop computers with Windows XP 32-bit, and Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    I received an error message "Unable to print" - replace the following ink cartridge to resume printing (HP 940 M).  I replaced the single cartridge and all the cartridges and still have the error message.  I thought that maybe the Magenta Ink Cartridge, I bought was the problem and I tried another new cartridge of ink Magenta.  The error message was always the same.

    I followed the "solving a problem" to "replace following the empty ink cartridge after I installed a new cartridge.

    I even replaced the printhead to see if it would fix it, but no resolution.  Before replacing the print head, I could see the ink levels and he would show levels of ink full and empty intermittently.  Now it is blocked by the error on the screen and neither will meet press OK and continue.

    This could be the cause of this error message?  You have a solution?  Is that all I can try to correct this error message?

    Dennis

    It sounds like the problem of reading ink cartridges could be caused by a bug in the firmware of the printer. There are a few things you can try to clear the glitch. First of all, make sure that you have the latest firmware installed in the printer. I'll link the instructions below. If the problem is still there after that, try to do a hard and partial reset. Do the hard reset first and if that does not work, proceed to the partial reset. If none of that works, the printer is locked on the error and must be replaced.
