Why does my HP Officejet 6500 Wireless printer make a chirping noise while just sitting idle?

SOURCE: how do I set up the scanner on my hp officejet

What Operating system are you running? If you goto the "control panel" and click on printers and devices, the printer should appear. Right click on it, and select start scan. Go from there.

SOURCE: HP printer cannot find access point and I'm not sure what to do.

You must first connect your printer to the pc using usb cable, then run installation wizard that is on the CD that came with the printer.

Wizard will guide you through the setup orcess where you will provider your routers ssid (linksys) to your printer, and your printer will use that ssid to connect to your router.

After the Wizard setup is done, it will tell you to disconnect the usb cable and only then your printer will work on wireless.

Good luck,
Milan

Issue The Out of Paper message appears on the computer and the product stops picking up or feeding paper. Solution Step one: Reset the product

1. Without turning the product off, remove the power cord from the back of the product.
2. Wait 30 seconds and then plug the power cord into the back of the product.
3. If the product is not already on, use the On button to turn it on.

1. Replace any paper that is ripped, dusty, curled, wrinkled, or bent.
2. Make sure that all the paper is the same size and type. Because only one type of paper can be used in the product at a time, paper types should never be mixed.
3. Tap the stack of paper on a flat surface to align the edges.
4. Make sure that the stack of paper to be loaded in the product contains no fewer than 10 and no more than 25 sheets of paper.
   NOTE: Do not load too much paper in the product.
5. Insert the stack of paper into the product and gently push the paper guides snugly against the paper. Make sure that the paper is completely inserted into the product and can be picked up by the paper rollers.
6. Try printing again. If the issue is not resolved, try loading different brands of paper and different types of paper, one type at a time, into the product and then try printing again.If the issue persists, continue with the next step.

1. Open a document in the program being used to print.
2. Click File , click Print , and then click Properties . The product Properties dialog box appears.

3. Clean the rubber rollers with a lint-free cloth, lightly moistened with water.
4. Make sure that any paper rollers that rest on the input tray, which are located behind the back rollers, are cleaned. A clean cotton swab, lightly moistened with water, might be necessary to reach these rollers.

I have seen alot of problem/posts concerning HP AIO's and software issues. Typically some of the functions won't work or not recognized by solution center. Try a complete uninstall of all associated printer software, run registry cleaner if you have it, restart, then try completely uninstalling your Antivirus/firewall software. I have seen that just disabling Antivirus/firewall still causes faulty installations. Now, reinstall your printer software/drivers and connect cables only when told to do so. Some reason the AV/FW software blocks some of the AIO's apps from completely installing.

Hope this works...Good Luck!
