OfficeJet Pro 8500 has more: impression of 8500 has only black and yellow

Pretty simple problem.  The cyan and magenta colors do not print.  The cartridges are all fairly new, PLR and lines of supply to the printhead not are not tangled, etc..   I wonder if I need to replace the print head.  The machine is almost 4 years old.

Thank you

  • Unanswered: how to turn off the light touch screen with an HP Officejet Pro 8500 has?

    Hello

    I have a new HP Officejet Pro 8500 connected via WiFi and all A910g seems to work very well (after solving some Comodo firewall settings on the PC network).

    However, the light of the touchscreen is quite annoying when the screen is not necessary. Only a few times, I noticed the light went away, but I can't find an option to control that. Normally, the light just stay on (all night too) all by displaying commercial product tour. I really want this boring commercial to go and have a time-out to a black screen that opens again when they are hit. I can't imagine that the functionality is not yet there, but where?

    Kind regards

    -Charles

    Hello

    Post the rather unexpected answer myself.

    There is also an option of installation menu (in English). Tools | Screen saver.

    It is also an On / Off radio button.

    If you think setting the screen saver 'On' would be empty the screen after a timeout, you got it all wrong, as if I were.

    The screensaver is actually the commercial product tour rehearsal.

    The "Off" screen saver setting had the desired effect. "

    Kind regards

    my yellow ink is empty.  I have a new 8610 to install but to print in black only to use this ink.

    The Officejet Pro 8500 (like the Officejet Pro 8610) has separate printheads and ink supplies, with "plumbing" to connect.  You have color ink available to keep the print head and plumbing butcher, even if you are printing black only (and in your case you don't care is if the color print heads clogged).

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 a: Officejet Pro 8500 has more ADF will not work

    like others, I have this problem.  In fact I do not use the ADF very often and this kind of ignored her, but today, that I needed so decided to try to fix it.  I tried most of the fixes here and the first did nothing, but trying to look at this, I decided to put the paper in the ADF, then open the cover and look to see what happened.  My God, he started work.  I let go a bit and then started to lower the lid.  Heck, he stopped.  Essaye tried again, stopped again that I dropped the lid.  Did that a few times and then being qualified professionally I have the fix engineering, a slight slap on the far side of the adf, as on the back of the printer.  Now, my God, it was only half an hour, but the thing works.  Put three leaves there very well.

    If my thoughts are that some switch or sensor is loose or slightly stuck somehow, and that's the question.  Looking at what others have done, I epxect that they opened and closed the lid several times, because it a bank in the meantime or in the process, and perhaps it's her.  Probably HP guys could tell us what it is?

    Hello @billfern,

    I understand that you were familiar problems of automatic document feeder on your HP Officejet Pro 8500 has more e-All-in-One Printer and after trying to solve the problem, you have found that when you lower the scanner the paper process would stop. I'm happy to hear that you were able to solve this specific problem by giving a bit of a slap to the printer. This certainly isn't a standard troubleshooting step, but one that I saw set a number of different problems!

    In your case, I agree that there is a sensor or roller conflict occurring which is at the origin of the book of power question. This may be due to a defect of the real hardware or a programming problem. In all areas of document feeder, it is not so simple. There are many variables that can affect the document feeder Assembly. Some problems occur after crossing the media statement incorrect Assembly or an overload of the Assembly. Other problems occur if a part in the tray is physically broken. And some points can be caused by a programming problem. However, in all cases, if the charger is faulty a replacement of the entire unit would be necessary that the tray is not a replaceable part.

    It is never a bad idea to update the programming on your machine. Even if your specific Officejet works at the present time, I would recommend sending the last update of the Firmware to it. You can download and run the update of the Firmware by clicking on here.

  • OfficeJet pro 8500 has more: Officejet pro 8500 has will not be printed sheets

    I have an Officejet Pro 8500 has more printer. I try to print the recipes on cards, but everytime I try to do my printer says "incorrect paper size" and then cancels the job. How can I fix it? I have a macbook... I don't know if it's part of the problem?

    Most programs running under OS X obey the size of default page defined by the Print Center/Printer Setup Utility preferences.

    A notable exception to this rule, however, is that Microsoft Word, which has its own system to decide what paper size to use.


    Change the default value of letter to A4

    Idea of what should be the default paper size is set in the Normal template.

    Go to Format > Document, and then press the button layout... .

    Set the size of A4 paper, and then press OK.

    Press the button by default... , answer Yes to the dialog box, and then press OK.

    - Source

    I imagine that this also applies to listings so instead of A4, you'd look for 4 x 6! Please let me know if that does the trick!

    How to scan a document of several pages under the name of a file?

    Hi @Pinnacleport,

    I read your post and to see that since the upgrade to El Capitan, you are no longer able to scan several copies of a file. I will do my best to help you with this problem. If this helps you to find a solution, please click on the button "Accept as Solution" down below in this message. If you want to say thanks for my effort to help, click on the 'Thumbs Up' to give me a Kudos.

    I checked the site and the drivers are installed by the Mac drivers preinstalled. HP printers - installing a printer driver Mac using Apple Software Update.

    Check the name of the driver that is installed by the printer. Make sure that it shows just the name of the printer.
    Click on the Apple menu, click System Preferences. Click on Printers & Scanners, highlight the name of the printer on the left side and right side of the screen it should show the name of the printer. (Officejet Pro 8500 has more)

    If the full name of the printer is not correctly, delete and add the printer name back from the list. Click on the sign - to remove the driver and then click on the + sign to add the driver might have to drop-down list to select the name of the printer to add a click.

    What application are you using to scan with?

    The only way you can save several pages in a single file is in PDF format. JPEG and other formats will save multiple documents as separate pages. In the printing and scanning window, select PDF and check combine in one document below.

    I hope this helps. If there is anything else I can help you, let me know. Thank you.

However, when I copy it, the entire document is printed. I was looking for, if I could change this on the officet, or the system of preferences on my mac, but couldn't find anything on the 8500.
