shawn3090 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I have the HP officejet pro 8500 wireless all-in-one and am having problems with manually installing it. When I use the HP software that came with the printer, it disconnects whenever I switch wireless networks (I move my computer a lot). I have to reinstall the printer to get it to work again. However, last time it happened, the HP software kept generating errors so I decided to ditch it. I managed to manually make a port to my printer's static IP, 192.168.0.2, and install the driver off the cd. It is a fully functional printer, but the scanning aspect does not work. How would you go about installing it manually? With the [developmentally delayed] hp software, I could scan over the network, so I know I can now. [hide=Stats][/hide]"One death is a tragedy.

Sbrideau Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Why don't you plug it to your computer via USB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O.T:Sorry I can't help with your problem OP. :( Why can't the Big Bang be done by the hand of God?It could have, but it is next to impossible because it also could have been caused by the flying spaghetti monster, or one of the other infinite number of deity possibilities.

VARN Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I do not know what driver was on the cd, if you go to HP's website and download the "HP Officejet Basic Driver - IT Professional Use Only". Since this is just the TWAIN driver you should be able to use any software to scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
