I can't get my Officejet 6500 Wireless E709n to connect wirelessly

Asked by Mark Magelky

I am using Linux Mint 11, which is based off of Ubuntu 11.04. I have an HP Officejet 6500 Wireless E709n, and it works perfectly with wireless on my Windows computer. I can print fine when it's plugged in, but when I'm on wireless, in the Device Manager, I refresh and it says:
HPLIP Device Status
Officejet_6500_E709n Printer (TH07U5222205G2)
Device communication error (5012)
And it shows a busy symbol. I am unable to print or scan. The page on the printer says everything works with Linux, and when I set it up it says you can now unplug the usb. I have retried the setup 3 times.

I went to printer control and clicked start printer, because it was set to stopped, and it said it is started/idle, with a green orb next to it. When I attempt to print it says Started a print job: (Document title) and then Print job has completed: (Document title) but it never actually prints.

When I have the device selected in the Device Manager, on the bottom of the window, it says: hp:/usb/Officejet_6500_E709n?serial=TH07U5222205G2 even though I set it up as a wireless printer.

I've tried printing pictures, documents, text files, and pdf's, and none work. After it says done printing, it says device is busy.

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the
HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies
are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro
supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball
has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode
will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).

Hi Mark,

From the log, we could make out that there are so many required dependencies missing. Can you please try this with latest HPLIP (3.11.5) Release. You can download the same from http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/gethplip.html If the problem still persists, post the output of "hp-check -t" again.

Thanks for using HPLIP.

Thanks and Regards,

I can't run the installer for it, it says missing dependencies and it can't install them, and I couldn't find a download for one of them, so I still can't install it.

Hi:

I was browsing through the boards and saw this message. I have the same problem as Mark was having. I followed Srikanth's instructions in his last message and got my wireless working it appears. However, when I print the status of the job says "Held." It won't go to the printer. Printer status says the printer is "Ready." Any ideas????

Thanks in advance,

Scott

I should also add that I don't get any errors from hp-setup. I have two different HP printers installed, but they should be using different queues. I am only having problems with the HP 6500 Wireless. Here's an output from hp-check -t:

Oh one last thing...I installed HPLIP 3.11.1 rather than 3.11.10 b/c 3.11.10 wasn't working on my system at the time. I read another thread where a guy got 3.11.1 to work. BTW - I am running Ubuntu 11.10.

Any help appreciated guys. Thanks.
