General Printer Error fix on HP Officejet 6500A and 6500 Printer

HP printers often give an error code which is different everytime. For example it can be same issue, but can have an error code 0x60000xxxxxx and so on and would change everytime you hit ok. In any case, first try to check if there is a piece of paper or a small object inside the printer, then try removing printhead and see if it clears the error and asks you for the printhead. Clean printhead contacts if that was the problem. In this video. The gear went bad and I replaced it. The purge unit would not move since the gear broke. Check it out. It should be an easy fix.

James Gablick : That's the ticket! What someone threw out has been saved from the landfill and I have a far better printer than I could ever have afforded. Thank you my friend! Very generous of you to have shared this.
Joe Lunch-Pale : This tutorial from 303 Electronics is spot on. Factory HP diagnostics web based assistance is useless. The bottom line I've learned is that a lot of HP 6500A error codes are derivates of plastic gears either cracking or stripping out on the metal rods that drive them causing print head alignment or paper feed errors. I have 6 of these printers 3 of which that had plastic gear problems that I fixed (thanks to Gorilla Super Glue) and now work perfectly. These printers are descent quality and ink tanks can be refilled without having to buy factory ink tank replacements at 10 times the cost which is the new 2022 industry standard (no thanks)

Great video from a very knowledgeable you-tube expert.

Thank you!
Mihai Lelea : Thank you so much! You saved me from hours of searching for the problem. I never would have disassembly that component to see the broken gear if it warren't for your video.
teranramiro10 : Thank you!! I have the exact same HP Officejet 6500A Plus and I had the same issue. However, it kept saying Paper Jam. I kept trying to find paper jammed and I had no luck. After viewing your video, I removed that piece and immediately saw the broken gear. Thank you!! Now, my question is, where do I order it??? What's the name of that part/gear?
StudyWithRobin : My gear was broken, thank you. You just saved me $200 - $600 on a new printer

Testing an HP OfficeJet 6500a InkJet Printer/Copier/Scanner/Fax

Testing an HP (Hewlett Packard) multi-function inkjet printer model OfficeJet 6500a. The unit has printing, scanning, copying, and faxing capabilities.
Daddy421 : I hope they print often. Otherwise the ink dries out in like three weeks I found. Had one of these in white and black colors with a different screen on it same chassis though. also had a photosmart with a color screen thing. Both have been replaced with laser.
Xyspade : My aunt has an HP pretty similar to this. They seem okay, but they're so loud and sound so chintzy and creaky. I'll stick with my Canon until it quits, then get a laserjet.
Ets : Nice HP printer
Dj Bruce Banner : I like it
E's TV Stuff : Cool
