Print/scan to 8500 MacPro OSX 10.5.8

I just purchased the OfficeJet Pro 8500 909 a and installed the software from the included CD. I can print fine (although as others have noted the original shipment is very slow) of my MacPro as well as two computers wireless mobile printing.

I have the printer connected via USB to my Time Capsule, which is in turn connected by Ethernet to my MacPro. I can't scan with this configuration. However, I can use all the features when I log on my MacPro via USB directly (without going through the time Capsule).

With other printers (Canon, Epson) I was able to just disconnect from the Capsule of time then to my MacPro when I want to scan to work around the problem. When I tried with the 8500, I got a USB Communication error on all subsequent draws. This problem was solved when I reinstalled the printer in the Print/Fax preferences.

My last question would be: is there a method of choice for the configuration of the printer using a router without wire/MacPro 10.5.8? Should I try ethernet instead of USB connection? Suggestions?

Thank you once again, but I think I found a solution!

After you apply an IP address to the printer, I connected directly to my MacPro via an Ethernet cable. Then I reset the system print and run the HP Installer and voila! I had full access to all the features AND I can print wireless from my laptop.

Scanning and printing works very well, I do not have the fax connected so I can't say if it works, but I'm happy with everything.

  • Support to network with Hello printing/scanning

    I currently own a network printer all-in-one HP PSC 2600. With my printer series 2600 PSC, can I print using the built-in Mac OS x (and) Windows drivers. Using Hello function of the web browser Safari (Bookmarks), I can find the printer by name, then analyze, check ink levels, and change the configuration of the printer using the web interface that provides the printer. I really like it because I don't have to install any additional software on the computers in my home or at work, and visitors can print/scanning (once connected to my secure network) without having to install anything except Windows Hello (if they have a Windows Notepad).

    In any case, I think replacing it with a HP Photosmart Premium all-in-one or an all-in-one HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless. I downloaded documentation and prospectus for sales of HP for printers and I can't tell whether a printer can be used for printing and scanning without installing the HP software.

    Just to be clear:
    * The printer will be connected to my network using Ethernet.
    * Printing and scanning will be mainly Mac OS. However, we often have visitors with Windows laptops who want to print and scan.
    * I won't have to install more software HPs for print or scan. I would like to be able to print via the installed system drivers and scan through a web browser interface.

    Is this possible with the all-in-one HP Photosmart Premium or the all-in-one HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless?

    Thanks in advance.

    Both of these printers have the Webscan application on the built-in web server.  If your friends have XP they will not have a print driver.  OS X, Vista and 7 have built-in print drivers (SL, of course, also built the scanning driver).

    Of the two, I would recommend the Photosmart.  The 6500 (and 8500) have had connection problems which are still pending (search this forum for a lot of messages).

  • HPOfficejet Pro 8620: Lockout admin and can not only restore factory settings no printing, scanning or fax

    HPOfficejet Pro 8620

    Once the upgrade to the last of my printer Mac security bug fix didn't work, printing, scanning or fax, tried to fix more than once as resinstalling followed etc. software instructions.  Then accidentally disabled the settings and now when I try to reset it or add printer returns Web services disabled etc. or feature was locled by your administrator, which is me... Help because I need it for work...

    You do one of 2 things @Chelle007, you can reset the printer back to the factory settings and set up again, or you can connect the printer to the computer or router Ethernet cable and use the wired IP address to access the Web integrated (Embedded Web Server) server. If you choose to install an Ethernet cable, go to the network settings on the front panel of the printer to get the IP address. Enter the IP address in a Web browser, and when the printer page opens, you can go to settings. You will be able to reactivate it. Please do not forget to select each element one at a time instead of select allow all, because if you turn on all you will lock the front panel.

    If you are unable to do so, or rather do the simple reset check your Inbox for instructions.

    There are a growing number of messages in this forum and elsewhere in the internet with the steps to do a reset on different printers.  Reset to will sometimes fix problems, so resetting is not the issue.

    A few resets require you to enter key combinations to open special menus on your printer that you were supposed to never access.  These special menus are used by developers and staff support for debugging of problems, but they are not intended for inexperienced users and can have unexpected results.  A wrong button push and you might no longer have a printer, but rather an expensive paper weight.  On top of that, if you happen to the 'brick' the printer in this way, it is considered as customer induced damage and voids the warranty automatically. These resets are only intended to be distributed and used as a last resort and under the direct instruction of a representative of the HP technical support. They should not be made lightly!

  • HP ENVY 5660: Connected printer & print desktop PC and tablet. Print & Scan doctor says he is not and cannot be.

    A couple of weeks ago, we changed Internet providers & I plugged our devices (desktop, tablets, phones & printer) in the new system.  We now have AT & T U-verse with a cable of optical fiber to a hub not far from our House & a circuit dedicated copper from there to the router/gateway. They claim that we have a regular service of Mgbps 18.

    Everything seems to work very well. We had anything drop and do not cause any problems. However, our range of printers HP says that it is connected to the Internet. It provides all the correct information and it works very well in our devices. But the Asus desktop computer insisted that the printer is offline, even if I print documents from him. Today, Windows did an update and when I checked the update report that he said he could not update the printer because it is in offline mode and it will not be printed. Then I printed something again.

    This update failure is my real problem. When I checked in the settings in Windows 10 on the desktop, it also insisted that the printer is offline. So I clicked on the icon of the application for the Print & Scan doctor. He also insisted the printer is not connected and that it is unable to connect from the Internet. Yet once again, the printer prints despite this reported disconnection.

    I don't know if the printer is actually updated even if update report says that it is not. I have had no problem since the printer from the reconnect the devices and printer or the update today. After I've done 4 or 5 tries to install the software with printing & Scan app, I checked in the settings of Windows 10 and again, he has insisted that the printer is offline.

    However, earlier, I checked in the settings, printers and scanners again in 10 Windows on the computer from Asus desktop & for the first time it reports "Series of 5660 HP ENVY (network)" & "Serial number (5660 HP ENVY series)" as the customs declaration.  The first says that it cannot print when I tried a test page; but, the other printed a test page. Is the first representative of the scanner and it cannot print because no document has been selected?

    When I created this Asus desktop / printer in February when I bought them, I did it using WIFI only, using no USB connection, to do and the printer has always worked our devices just as it continues to do so.

    Again, my real problem is declared failure to Windows 10 update.

    Thank you for taking the time to browse this message and I thank you for your help.

  • Macbook pro to a jet m1212nf laser printer scan

    Hello

    I'm trying to scan from a LaserJet M1212nf MFP to a MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion.

    I installed the latest LaserJet driver from the HP website. Can I print using a USB connection. However I can not scan. If I open the HP Director, by clicking on the button Scan does nothing. If I open HP Scan I get a message: "no scanner available."

    I'm lost. Please can you help me?

    Thank you very much.

    I would recommend that download us the driver via Apple Software Update.

    Before we do that, we want to uninstall all incompatible software, you may have installed on your computer by running the uninstall HP program located under Applications > HP or Hewlett-Packard folder.

    After you do this, we want to download the drivers. The drivers for your product are available via Apple Software Update.

    First and foremost, temporarily disconnect the cable USB from the printer to the printer or the computer. Then look for any HP Update available by clicking the Apple icon, updated software.

    If no update could not be found, download the complete Apple HP printer drivers v.2.14:

    Printer HP v.2.14 for OS X drivers

    http://support.Apple.com/downloads/DL907/en_US/HPPrinterDrivers2.14.dmg

    Once you have completed the installation, you can plug your printer back in. After that the printer is reconnected, go into the settings to print under system preferences > print & scanning. To add the printer, click on the plus sign. You should see your printer listed here. Select it. If under the printer, see "use:  Make sure that tells the name of the printer and not AirPrint. Click on add down in the lower right.

    Good luck

  • HP Deskjet 1010: HP Deskjet 1010 incomplete printing - best example - on Print & Scan Doctor

    On the test page for the doctor of printing & scanning HP, the text at the top is not readable, it's so light (a turquoise? color). Below the color test of the band on this page, on the edge of the test of the line, the lines are very light (light turquooise?) at the edge of the left and right margin.  (I'm not surré is something else isn't visible which should be.)  For print-out page alignment, all lines except two (series D and series I) are not printed as well as printed sheet is completely unnecessary to complete the answer to the question sheet.

    I had used (same model HP Deskjet 1010) until he developed the problem described above. Thinking it was a printer problem, I replaced the existing printer with a brand new HP Deskjet 1010 (same model), I bought for a long time as a backup replacement printer.  I found out even with the new printer, I had the same problem as the previous printer.

    (I also have a HP PSC that prints very well without any problem).

    Welcome @casey-CA,

    Thanks to their participation in Forums of HP! I see by your post that the black does not print correctly. Please provide detailed information of all that. I will definitely do my best to help you.

    Do you use the same cartridges for the printer on the other?

    I would try the steps listed in this document, they should help to solve this problem: the problems of quality Print to the HP Deskjet 1010 and series printer Deskjet Ink Advantage 1010

    If you are still having the same problem of printing print Diagnostics page then it would be a hardware problem and not software related. Let me know the results.

  • HP4215 printer can be used without phone connection if want to print, scan or copy

    Have a HP4215 printer that has not been used for a few years. Keep allow the family member, who use only a cell phone, and an old Apple laptop for 1 year, to be able to use it to print, scan and copy only - no fax.  If it downloads the driver, and hooks the USB, the printer can be used without a line of phone being installed?

    Hello

    Yes, given the portable computer Apple has USB ports, you can connect your printer to the laptop via a USB port, but you will not be able to print from cell phone. If you want to print anything from cell phone, the quick and easy way: send or copy on the laptop from Apple to print.

    Kind regards.
