• Problem with the HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer: clean the print heads each time it is turned on

  Hello everyone,

  the printer HP all-in-one Officejet Pro 8500 (A909a - product n. CB022A) clean the print heads whenever I turn it on. This problem affects any HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer, it is not a problem only of this one I bought. It is a boring bug and annoying because each power clean print heads on involves two bad disadvantages:

  1. waste of ink (each heads cleaning process consumes little ink);
  2. too much time (2-3 minutes) to prepare the printer after plugging.

  I upgraded my printer with the latest firmware available on the HP site (firmware ver. DLM1FN1006BR), but the bug is still present.

  At this point, I ask:

  1. There is a way (or procedure) to disable automatic cleaning this useless to all power on?
  2. Can we communicate with the HP engineers or tell me how to contact directly one of them to indicate the bug and request a new firmware updated?

  Please don't tell me to leave the printer on all the time or that the printheads to each cleaning power is normal behavior! Where then are power and ink savings claimed for this printer model?

  I hope that a solution to this problem. Thanks in advance to everyone will help me!

  Maintenance when the printer is turned on is normal and is required to keep the printheads in good health (not blocked). See here for more information.

  With respect to energy savings, the printer automatically goes to low power mode when the don't feel not for awhile.  It is not necessary turn the unit on to save energy.

• power officejetPro 8500 to always clean the print heads

  Hello!

  I have an OfficeJet Pro 8500.  I got it specifically so that I would get a large number of pages are printed on the extra large ink cartridges.

  However, when I turn off the printer for the night save energy, and then turn it back on the next day morning, the printer goes through a status of "Please wait" in which she appears to clean the print heads at least twice.

  And we both know that the print head cleaning consumes a lot of ink.

  I have no problem printing.  The printer prints very well.

  But, when I look at the ink levels using the solution Center HP, ink fell considerably after this start procedure.

  Why?  Why he cleans the head whenever I turn on the printer?   He didn't need it!

  Thank you!

  Hi Jim,.

  It's a very good question. When the printer returns to the top, it goes through a maintenance routine to ensure there are no clogged nozzles and all colors are able to print the result of quality.

  I have actually never turn off my printers at night in my home office because they don't really use a lot of power (I don't have the exact specification). I would say just to leave the printer on... is not worth saving.

  See you soon,.

• All-in-one HP Photosmart C309a "Alignment failed" error message even after cleaning the print heads, etc.

  About 3 weeks ago before making the error msg above, a large black ink blob appeared on my printed piece of paper.  This product for several sheets later, but kept decreasing in amount.  I continued to print & finally all traces of ink have disappeared.  2 days ago I got a msg of error on "load plain white paper. ", but the paper tray was plain white paper in it.  I have removed the paper, straightened and her successor. As a result, the msg "Alignment failed" appeared.  I went through all the steps HP online information on the treatment of the "alignment failed", including the cleaning of the printheads (the right amount of ink was on it), check the vents of cartridge, etc.  My question is: if I have 4 out of colored inks and a new black ink installed, the alignment is being affected by the old cartridges?  A msg on this appeared on the Control Panel, giving the opportunity to proceed with the old cartridges or install new ones, but be careful that it "cannot allow completion of...» "If 'old' were replaced not.  I need to replace these color cartridges or is it probably another problem, which is print head damaged?

  Checked the evacuation & there is no problem, so I tried the informal solution to put the printhead in hot water.  A ran 1 cleaning via / configuration on the printer and finally aligned with success tools.  I waited a while to respond because I wanted to see if the printer should continue to work, and there!

  Thank you very much.  I'm happy that I can keep this printer!
