OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless - ink cartridges

I have had this unit for about two years. Use it mainly for scanning, not a lot of printing.

After about four months, after printing next to nothing with him, I had to replace all four cartridges. Not one, but he had to have all four. All four ran empty cartridges at the same time.

About eight months later, ditto.

About eight months later, ditto.

And now, about eight or nine months later, once again.

I don't use it enough to empty one of the ink cartridges in this period of time, much less than each of them.

What is happening on that he needs new ink cartridges so often?

It is absolutely impossible that all four ink cartridges would go dry at the same time - four times. Is something wrong with the printer?

Windows XP. The cartridges were all HP.

Thank you.

Hi stevewest26,

If you leave the printer turned on 24/7 the printer will do a printer maintenance to avoid the cartridges get clogged. During the maintenance of the printer it use some of the ink in all 4 cartridges to properly initiate the print heads and keep the printer in good working order for you when you want to print. It is best to let the printer on so that he could complete the period maintence of this way you don't end up throwing the printheads due to jets of a bite. If you are not using this printer to print you may consider a scanjet do your scans. I hope that explains why you see the cartridges being exhausted.

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500.  It's probably 2 or 3 years.  He says not what 8500, but I think it was

    UPDATE!  Good news!  Somehow I discovered that I needed to update the software. I think it could have been through the option "Scan Doctor".  When I tried to install the software on your computer it wouldn't.  But I went directly to the HP software download site, informed my hardware information and that worked!  I downloaded and installed the updated software and that fixed my problem of black ink cartridge.  I'm so happy and proud of myself!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 WIreless. Change print heads

    try to change the officejet pro 8500 wireless print heads.  Can't find existing print heads.  Press on * does not.  Have turned machine off and restarted the procedure - once again I can't locate heads.  My machine seems to have located differently than in the manual or video print heads.  Help, please

    miles1938,

    With the Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless ink cartridges are in the lower left front of the printer compartment.  We can access transportation, which maintains the print heads by lifting the scanner from the front, not just the scanner cover.  To move the cart and the print heads to the left so that we can access it, press and hold * key for about 6 seconds.  If the transport is not moving then we can try to move manually.  Click here for references.

  • Printing DCP color red problem - HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All - in - One Printer, the 4th copy

    I have a HP HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless all-in-One Printer and try to print 75 copies of a program for our event. After the first 5-6 pages the RED in my program starts to turn magenta. I have new HP ink cartridges and print on HP Color Injet paper. I have renectly replaced the Black/Yellow Printhead (at least 6 months ago). At the beginning when I cleaned the printheads, I was able to print 2 or 3 pages showing my color RED. Then back to magenta. When I received the images of test after you have cleaned the print heads, they are all perfect, no lines.

    What happens and how can I solve this problem?

    Hi TM1997,

    Thanks for the reply!

    Given that the printer seems to work for a bit and then comes back to the same question, it must be a problem with the printhead (Cyan/Magenta one) or the ink lines that go from the cartridges to print heads. First of all, I would suggest that you check the warranty date on your printhead C/M. If it is under warranty contact HP Technical Support in your area and inquire about a replacement, but if not, it's you if you want to replace the print head, printer service, or look into an upgrade.

    Have a great weekend!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless: Hard reset after automatically adjustments between each printed page?

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless, mainly connected with WiFi for PC Win7.

    The problem is that the printer automatically adjusts between each printed page! How can I fix it? Is this possible with a hard reset?

    Thank you for your answer!

    I think that the cable of the red ink has been blocked, but it's fixed now.

  • Officejet pro 8500 wireless print envelope

    2750 old boy had a slot "envelope" in the output tray to make unique envelopes.  Which was very convenient.  My brand new 8500 had no such "slot" and it seems that I have to remove all of the paper in the tray to put one envelope in!  That makes sense to me, but I'm not just any housing "simple envelope" anywhere!  Is it possible to print one envelope with the officejet pro 8500 wireless without having to use the tray itself?

    Thank you

    I HAVE THE ANSWER THAT WE ALL NOW!

    If you're like me: I am running Windows 7, using Microsoft Word 2007, and you have the Officejet Pro 8500.

    I just spent the last hour on the phone with a customer service very friendly Rep who tried to help me to print without margins on an envelope. I have try on mail merge and include a return address printed in the upper left corner and a printed stamp sorted in the right corner. Whenever I want to print it would create a margin on the left and right side.

    She thought at first it was a software problem with Microsoft Word 2007, because in his version of Word 2003, she could print borderlessly. But I then created an envelope in Photoshop and tried printing without margins. Once more, it would create a margin on the left and the right that was a little more "5/8 of an inch. In fact, the exact margin size is 0,6875 ".

    Anyone else having the same problem? I'm sure you are.

    HERE'S WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IF YOU WANT TO PRINT WITHOUT MARGINS ON AN ENVELOPE:

    (1) choose a new document in Word 2007, then choose Virgin doc 'LETTER' (no envelope)

    (2) a set of left margin: 0,1875 (Yes it's small!)

    (3) a set of right margin: 1.5

    (4) set the top margin: 2.1875

    (5) also set the bottom margin: 2.1875

    (6) turn the grid if you see your work area.

    The grid can be enabled in the 'View' menu and then select the gridlines check box. If you hold down the 'alt' key, you can move objects (such as text boxes) without having to align them on the grid.

    Create your envelope, then print. Essentially what you are fooling your printer to think you are printing on a letter for an envelope printing in reality. I need to print 1000 at a time, so it was do-or-die because I just bought this printer and love the speed at which it prints in color. especially on the functionality of the project.

    Good luck!

  • HP officejet PRO 8500 wireless

    I work with 2 PC over Wifi with the HP officejet PRO 8500 wireless printer she even in Wifi.
    Most of the time everything works fine but sometimes the printer does not print a document. MICROSOFT OFFICE (Outlook or Word) so that the latter is visible in the spooler... If I cancel it in the list of the spooler does not remove the document from the list and the blocked documents remain behind. It doesn't happen that one of the 2 PC.

    If I go into the printer properties - solve problems - utility can see that a document blocks other and announces that the problem is solved.
    Unfortunately the problem is always there. Restart the PC or printer do not change.
    It has been several times this has happened. I have not yet figured out why and how I get out of this deadlock state... Thank you for your help. !

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless - pop-up window does not disappear

    To start the computer, a window pop up keeps saying "Please wait while Windows configures Document Viewer.

    Then he said: "Insert the Document Viewer disk error 1706 no valid source could be found for the viewer of documents produced."

    I am connected wirelessly with a Hp Officejet Pro 8500 wireless printer... And it prints, but message pops up everytime I open computer, or open HP solution Center.

    Running on Windows XP. -

    Any help would be kindly appreciated - as this pop-up message won't go away.

    I was hoping that the simplest method would work first.  I studied this carefully for you that I am aware that the missing files in your registry can cause this but I can't tell if this is directly related to the HP Solution Center or XP computer.  You are able to open the solution Center?  If so, then I do not recommend remove and reinstall the printer immediately if it is scanning and printing correctly.

    Microsoft Forums gives a very long list of troubleshooting steps, but the reason it is suggesting that a clean boot is to make past the error.  I don't think it will fix actually.

    This document entitled "Error 1706 - What Is It' had the same information I was looking for.  In the end, he recommends the purchase of a software computer cleaning, but if you read this document that tells where to find this missing file you and you can not find, I recommend the simplest method first which works simply on your XP Disk Cleanup (Start button > all programs > Accessories > system tools > disk cleanup) and restart the PC.  I really want to try to save the greater amount of time, and keep it as simple as possible.  Here is an example of the magnitude that it can get however.

    Let me know if any of the simple methods do not work, and I'll give you the best recommendations on registry cleaning software.

    Oh, Yes, the scan key on the printer does not yet with Snow Leopard.  Some people have had a chance to get that goes from the first analysis of the Mac (using the preview or Capture of Image), then the button works, but for others it does not.
