  • OfficeJet Pro 8000 double-sided printing will not respond to the control software #2

    Win XP Pro SP3

    OfficeJet Pro 8000 Wireless

    Does anyone know why Officejet Pro 8000 had control of double-sided printing, removed from the spec software?

    Does anyone know if there is a printer of this type which will respond to such control?

    UPDATE!

    ----------

    This printer is now works very well with total control on duplex printing. But how did this happen...?

    Two things have changed - well, maybe three.

    But first of all to mention another very annoying problem: wireless printer to my network connection always collapsed which was a double nuisance (23/06/2016 see also installing the driver wireless Officejet 8000 Pro says default gateway is 0.0.0.0)

    The road to happiness... I've finally updated my PC to a laptop HP Win7 (there is a problem with the laptop, but that's another story...)

    During the process of setting up laptop, I had to set up the network and add the printer. In between aid was a FAQ something like "the wirless connection drops regularly." What interested me.

    The fix was so simple - mychosen IP address has always been in the DNS range which was probably not very smart, but I didn't know any different. No one had ever mentioned before.

    The idea is to select an address in the static range IE outside the DNS. So I took a number x.x.x.249 and bingo!, a solid and reliable connection that is always there.

    Given the new laptop for download the drivers again. What went well and of course, the new machine is much faster.

    Anyway after a few tries, much to my delight I discovered that two-sided printing worked with auto rotation if I check the box. Printing a document like that I would see in portrate (horizontal spine) and read down the two pages, turn to the next page and the same thing at the end of the document. Or, if you use the rotation of non - normal mode - the printing orientation is 'normal '.

    It's a shame that it was necessary to buy a new laptop with a new o/s just to discover the problem by chance...

  • My Canon MG5200 wireless printer will not respond

    I recently bought a new Canon MG5200 series printer wireless which is supposed to be a really excellent printer with photo printing and a lot of different options, however when I try and print just a normal file (doc) he used to feel.

On the screen of the printer, it gives only the option to print "PDF Document" which is a problem as well? Thank you.

  • HP Envy 5530: Emits a light HP Envy 5530, but the printer will not be running

    Printer of opportunity, so no guarantee: it out of the box, plugged in and set up. I was able to connect wirelessly to my computer, but I don't have the right to ink cartridges. When the ink is right, I plugged it again. This time the printer power not on at all. The only thing that happens is that the signal power light briefly when the first powered. This isn't a loose thread, because I can only duplicate the symptom when connecting, not when moving or unplug the device. It isn't food, as I have him succeeded and get the same exact symptom. (PS, thanks for the power supply internal easy-to-swap!)

    Is it a kind of fashion 'sleep'? Any suggestions as to what this is. I am rather stuck with it since I bought the ink and an additional power supply, so I would like to address them. Help, please! Thank you!

    Hello @azvlr,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand you are having feeding problems with your used HP ENVY 5530 e-all-in-one printer. I see that you have already installed a new set of ink and replaced the internal power supply without result. Unfortunately at this time if a new power supply fails to solve the problem of flashing light output that the next step would be to use the printer.

    Please take a look at this paper Support HP "no power" to ensure that all steps are completed that follows: The HP printer will not be running or to respond when the power button is pressed

    The HP Envy 5530 is always a newly released product. Therefore, I highly recommend contact our telephone Support queue to explore additional options. If a replacement printer is necessary food and ink will not be wasted because they can be used in the replacement printer.

    HP Technical Support can be reached at the: 800-474-6836.

  • HP ENVY 7640: Control Panel printer is not responding.

    control panel touch printer does not respond. The power button is sensitive and the button of the nfc. Need help please

    Hey @mrjunior,

    Welcome to the Forum from HP Support.

    I see that the front panel of your printer does not work e-all-in-one HP ENVY 7640.  I want to help you with this.

    Have you tried a hard reset?

    1 make sure that your printer is on.
    2. unplug the power cord at the back of the printer.
    3. wait 60 seconds.
    4 reconnect the power cord to the back of the printer.
    5. press the power button to turn on the printer (if it does not start automatically).

    It has more advanced reset steps available, but they are not good for you if the printer will not allow for you to navigate the touchscreen menus.  If this basic trick restores façade features let me know and I will private message you the semi full reset steps.  Otherwise, I recommend that join you our technical support team. You can click on the following link to start a business: www.hp.com/contacthp/

  • iTunes will not respond on Macbook Pro

    My iTunes will not respond when I hit the play button. My version of iTunes is 12.4.1.6. It worked when I bought my mac, but now, he won't answer. It works on my iPhone, but not my Mac. Any suggestions?

    iTunes you know on a Mac does not run on an iPhone. It's a completely different operating system. It is also a completely different application that Apple in a fit of lack of creativity has given the same name as the thing on a computer, but it's a different function.

    You have restarted your computer?

  • Printer will not connect via USB

    HP lj1022 printer will not connect not not via the USB port after the installation of the new driver upgrade hp lj1020/1022 for Windows 7 (64-bit). Driver seems to install properly until the moment where he is asked to connect the USB cable. Then he hangs up. HP lj 1020 printer appears in the display to the dashboard as the default printer. Computer recognizes the printer as hp printer lj1022 but in another "device not specified Panel when and only when the printer is on and the USB cable is connected." When printing, nothing ever comes from queue.

    Diagnosis is only that something is stuck in the queue and remove the task from the queue, but does not. Diagnostic shows no problem.

    The lj1022 printer accepts data from two other computers, as well on Windows xP and using the same cables. Three other USB ports have been tested on the new Windows 7 computer without results. The USB ports on the Windows 7 computer accept keyboards, mouse and flash memories wireless dongle without problem. The Windows 7 computer also sends data to a printer wireless with no problems.

  • HP Officejet 6500 a: printer will not connect to the wireless network.

    I got this HP printer for a while and it worked fine.  Our old router is out and we had to get a new one.  Installed perfectly and printer continued to work properly.  The password for the router was ridiculous, that's why I changed it to something much more simple to remember.  Since then, my printer will not connect to wireless internet.  I have a ~ and reinstalled the printer but still have the same problem.  I thought maybe to try the former password would, but who does not work either.

    Anyone has any ideas that might help before chuck it and go and get a new one altogether?

    Thank you.

    Easy things first.  Turn off the router and the printer.  Turn on the router and wait 3 minutes.  Turn on the printer and see if it connects to your router.  Status?

    If no joy, temporarily disable all security in the router.  Now try to connect the printer to your SSID not guaranteed without password.  Status now?

    If OK, go back and add WPA2-AES with your simple password.  Status now?

  • Satellite Pro L450D black screen and will not respond to any keys

    Hello

    My niece has used his Toshiba L450D for almost a year now and he really liked it, who was until last month. She turned on her laptop and when she presses the button of the mouse, the button cracked and he fell into the laptop.

    Now my brother contacted Toshiba and I was told because it is under warranty it might return for repair because it was a common fault. Then he he packed in loads of air bubbles and a box to make sure it was safe.

    A few weeks later he came back repaired but we were all shocked that the laptop was put in a very loose box and you could hear this rattling noise. When we turned on the battery was flat and we had a new boot menu.

    As she installed it Windows 7 laptop would boot directly into Windows 7, but now after the repair of the laptop shows a menu black screen with as follows:

    + Windows 7 +.
    + Recover Windows to Factory Settings [active EMS] +.

    So we started in Windows and everything went well, but now after 5 or 10 or even 20 minutes, laptop displays a black screen and will not respond to keys or mouse movement. There is nothing on the screen its just black.

    I started in SafeMode (which was more difficult with the new menu) and it does the same thing. I even managed to do a virus scan quick who took 3-4 minutes and was clean.

    I would like some advice on what my niece is very angry, and it's difficult to explain what is happening to a child in the primary school.

    Any help would be grateful.

  • E-all-in-one HPOfficejet 8600Pro printer will not now speak to iMac since updates Driver & Maverick

    I just bought a new HP printer and set up on my iMac to print. After a LOT of messing around FINALLY got it works, BUT a day later upgrades arrived to update my iOS X 10.9.3 with a simultaneous upgrade of the software driver for the printer. I duly installed at once – but now, regardless of what I do the printer will not work. The computer can be seen as it is showing ink etc. levels and said he printed and I can print test pages, but it has not allowed me to print from Word, Excel, Web or PDF!  I tried to uninstall the printer drivers and reinstall those of the HP Web, which I suppose would be the 'old' - but still no luck. I need this job and am close to tears - any help would be appreciated. I also tried deleting and reinstalling Office for Mac... NB it prints beautifully and effortlessly to my husband's PC.

    3. Restart your computer
    4. Add the printer: full function and driver-OS X 10.9 Mavericks software
