Printer detects problems

I have an officejet pro 8500 a Win7 running. The printer will lose the connection with the computer. In this case, the power light will fade back. I can unplug the power to the printer, plug it in again and the printer will reconnect with the computer and prints fine - but it is only a temporary solution and won't last long, then light fades back and forth again. Have no idea how to solve this problem - I deleted the drivers, drivers reinstalled without success.

The printer goes into mode 'sleep'.  Normal.  Read your manual on how to disable this if you want, and how to set
Will auto power off to turn off.

Please provide the following information if anyone can help including:

The printer model - done

Detailed problem description-

Operating system on the computer (including the revision of the service pack)-

Method - USB, LAN, Wireless cable connection? -

Brand and model of router and modem? -

Error messages - on the screen of the printer or computer, no matter what flashing light patterns.

If wireless, status of the blue wireless light on the printer, active, disabled or flashing? -

  • Printer installation problem. Watch is printers and fax machines, but does not print

    I had to move my printers due to a collapse of the motherboard.   I moved my HP DeskJet 710C from a computer (under XP SP3, through LPT1:, where he was part of a network home and works very well) to another computer, also under XP SP3 on the same network, but who doesn't have a printer port.   I replace the cable with a USB printer and I tried to install if via a port USB001 printer.   The machine seems to install the printer (manually - it is not automatically find) and it shows in the printers and Faxes folder.   However, it does not print.   Any document disappears into the other, is not listed as a document to print, but it does not reach the printer.    I did everything I can find listed on the HP web site and run the FixIt program nothing works.   A search for network printers, are looking for a printer, provides a list, of which some are listed as invalid.   I think that I had uninstalled to printers to my computer until I tried to install this printer.   Now, I wonder if these "invalid" entries are mucking up of my installation.   How can I remove 'Invalid printer' names in my list of installed printers.   It seems in any simple way.

    I have my sure others must have had similar problems, but I can't find it on the net.

    Any help would be welcome.

    I have found no useful HP support. They seem to only want to buy a new printer, but if I can't install my old I'll be able to install a new one? Or > when you think that you download using them, you actually download scanning for the third-party driver software, which has then finds all kinds of driver problems > and wants you to pay to get them replaced or updated.

    This isn't HP; That's the scammers try to sell you anything for an exorbitant price.

    As the computer receives automatic updates from Microsoft and works well otherwise, I do not trust software that detects problems everywhere in my machine. Or am I > stupid? Or is it driver/driver scanner software update that you can trust?

    Most of the pilot sites is not trustworthy. I used Device Doctor and found useful. There no drivers to download IIRC; It just tells you that drivers must update and where to find them. Here is an article on this subject (and no, that Thomas is not me):

    I'm still a little worried about 'Invalid printer' entries in my system network and feel that if I could get rid of them, I could make progress.

    What printer you put as a default? This should be where the printed document (Word of the device - expected :-)).

  • J4580 print cartridge problem: [Tri-Color] refer to the device Documentation

    Well, I'm starting to feel like I knew better, buy another HP printer after dismal luck with two all-in-one before.

    My J4580 already gives me headaches after only 6 or more months of use.

    The unit refuses to print, declaring "print cartridge problem: [Tri-Color] refer to device Documentation to troubleshoot."  Nothing in the help documentation.  The Habs is always 90% full.  Sometimes pulling the Habs and placing back in crazy wil it restarting.  When it restarts, it prints perfectly.

    I tried the ubiquitous "clean the contacts" and other instructions help generic that I saw, but those who were without help.  The "Solution Center (Yes, good)" appears and all ithas is a link to buy more ink (!).

    Someone has an idea?  I'm about to throw it through the window of stores office, given that I can't throw it out the window of HP.

    Thank you!

    Yes * I know * and I'm sorry that I forgot to come back here.  I had a major system crash and I had to reinstall a lot of drivers for my multimedia player, GPS, and printer (!).  As this occurs, the device did not return this error - touch wood.

  • print head problem Officejet 8500 has

    Hello

    I just replaced all my ink cartridges, and still it tells me that there is a printhead problem; the message says to replace the printhead to resume printing.

    Didn't I do it when I changed the ink cartridges?  Visual instructions on the printer seems to show a slightly different model of what I, and the print head seems to be separate.  It does not have to be the case in my model.  Anyway, the instructions also say press the button 'change print head' in the main menu, I can not even to the main menu but it is stuck on the message "print head problem".

    I'd appreciate some advice on how to proceed!

    Thanks in advance!

  • HP C5180: Printer color problems

    I have a HP C5180 printer and printing color is messed up. My black watch diagnosis page than black, yellow-green with yellow strips, Lt Cyan shows as a dark cyan, cyan is white, Lt Magenta is dark blue, Magenta is Lt. blue. Anyone know how to fix this... I changed the printer cartirdges... the same problem. I cleaned the print heads. several times and followed the suggestions on the tech support pages. I would not only use this printer as a black and white printer.

    Hey @TomTwist,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I would like to help you today to solve print quality problems you are having with your HP Photosmart C5180 all-in-One Printer. Because you have already replaced the ink cartridges and clean the printhead several times nothing is done, there is a good chance to have a defective print head. The print head is what reads the cartridge and puts ink on the page. On your print head template system is a non-replaceable part. Therefore, should that do not pass part a replacement of the entire unit would be necessary. However, I would like to go through the following steps to conveniently solve this problem of quality.

    I won't make you run any printhead more clean. The rule is usually 2 or 3 clean makes no difference at all, don't make a fourth because when you clean the printhead system it uses ink in order to rinse the ink system. If 2 or 3 clean make no difference that you're just wasting if you run a clean more.

    Step 1: Calibrate the colors:

    1. open the printer Toolbox: HP Solution Center. This should be on the desktop of your computer.

    2. If you have more than one printer installed, be sure to select the correct printer tab in the HP Solution Center

    3. click on settings

    4. click on print settings.

    5. click on printer Toolbox.

    6. on the device Services tab, click color to calibrate, and then follow the instructions on the screen. The procedure takes about two minutes and requires two sheets of paper.

    Source: The printed colors are not colors should

    If the problem persists, please continue to the next step.

    Step 2: Align the print head:

    1. click on HP Solution Center's on your desktop

    2. click on settings.

    3. click on print settings

    4. click on printer Toolbox.

    5. on the tab Services of device the printer, Toolbox, click align the print cartridges, and then follow the instructions on the screen.

    Source: Streaks or lines in the printed Image

    Please test print once these two steps have been taken. If the issue of quality still persists, because you have already replaced your cartridges the next step would be a replacement of the entire unit.

    If you want to explore additional options available for your printer, I suggest you contact the Technical Support queue by phone.

    HP Technical Support can be reached at the: 1800-474-6836.

  • Photosmart B109 question - display message print head problem cannot be removed

    Hi all, I just bought a used B109 printer/scanner, and I can't get rid of the message on the display screen.

    I bought the unit knowing he had a problem with Printhead and am waiting for a new print head, but the problem is, the language of unity has been defined in Czech by the former owner, and I want to change it to English. However, the process to change the language (press on high righ, middle left and bottom left buttons and the display screen) will not work because the display shows the message print head problem, and I can't get rid of the message.

    Is it possible to access the menu, while the print head message always?

    Oh, and is it possible to really connect with HP? Through their support just site ends with Q & A generic, that does not solve my problem as stated above... :-(

    Hello TonyW1967,

    Welcome to the HP Forums.

    In fact, you will have to wait until the new printhead is installed and clear the error before we can enter the setting menu to change the language on the printer.

    Here's the information to call the Tech Support of HP.  If you call in North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, please click here: click here.
