Alignment problem page & ink cartridge

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless printer.  Recently I have had several problems with it - from flashing lights saying there is a paper jam, but nothing was ever found.  That seemed to fix and now I have problems with the printer will print an alignment page after EACH print job.  I have cleaned the print heads, installed new cartridges, print diagnostic pages, etc.  The only "issue" on the reports seems to say that the health of the printhead to the status of magenta/cyan is monitor vs a good status on the yellow/black.  After that I cleaned the printheads (for the second time) I went through the steps intermediate and advanced also.  After the intermediary seems to show the magenta printing, but after the Advanced setting, she showed no magenta.  I tried to verify that there is no break in the tubes...  Has anyone else had this / these problems and how to correct you?  Thanks for any help!

I am betting that it could be a problem with the Magenta/Cyan Printhead. Follow the steps outlined in the document below to try a clear problem. You can ignore the Solution 2, since it's just cleaning and which does not appear to have contributed. If the steps in the document do not resolve the problem, replace the printhead of problem.

  • Problem - has ink cartridge but no printing appears on the paper

    I have a printer of HP Deskjet 4200 all-in-one with a relatively new ink cartridge.  The printer prints white - nothing appears on my paper.  The last time I used the printer (with the same cartridges) was four months ago, and he was fine.  To my knowledge, nothing has changed (parameters, etc.).  I can't figure out how to get the printer to print anything.  I could go out and buy new cartridges, but ones I have is barely used, although only around the age of 6 months.  And the problem seems to be both color and black print (printer has two cartridges) - so I made me think that it would not be a cartridge problem.  Any suggestions on what I might try?  Thank you.

    It is possible that the print heads have become clogged due to sitting for so long unused.  Try to run the three cycles of cleaning of the Toolbox.  If it does not recover the printhead, then place 1 "of very hot water in a cup and watch the nozzles of cartridge in hot water for about five minutes.  When it comes gently dry the printhead on a wet cloth dry contacts of the cartridge, then reinstall the cartridges in the printer, and try another cleaning cycle.

  • HP Deskjet 3050: Problems installing ink cartridges

    I have a HP Deskjet 3050 all-in-in-one J610 series. I purchased & installed a black cartridge 61 and see the message on my printer: "authentic black HP print cartridge installed - ok. However, when I try to click on the button next to 'ok' nothing happens. I try by clicking New, or the one above (as in, maybe I clicked on the wrong button), and I turned my printer and turn it back on. Nothing changes. I'm unable to complete installation of ink cartridges and print anything.

    Can someone tell me what is the problem?

    Hi @TwoCharacters

    It's almost that the Ok button is not responding, or only works intermittently. You took the message of cartridge which means it must have admitted you pressed OK. What happens if you just keep trying to press OK, maybe try a little more pressure when you press it, or hold down the key longer than you should have to. Looks like it may be a hardware problem, you may consider giving us a call.

    If you are in the Canada, U.S. dial 800-474-6836 or you can Contact HP worldwide.

  • Help! Problem with ink cartridge compatibility Photosmart C4383 in my current position

    Need your help! I bought my printer in the Middle East almost 2 years already Photosmart C4383 with ink cartridges 140 (black) & 141 (tricolor).  Since then, I have in my country now, resides in the Philippines and I always use the printer.  This week, I already have run out of ink Supply and decided to buy a.  Since then, I bought the printer in another country, I decided to check the site to ensure the compatibility of ink cartridges.  The results stated that the Photosmart C4383 belongs to the Photosmart C4380 series and it also says here that HP74 (black) & HP75 (HABs) are the compatible cartridges for the printer in my area.  Since then, I always have the tricolor ink cartridge available 141, I decided to buy only the HP74 (black) ink cartridge.  But when I place the HP74 (black) ink cartridge for my printer, I was surprised to see in the display as the ink cartridge, I bought is not compatible with the printer. I was so disappointed because if I can't use the product then I lose money and and check again and again in the sights of compatibility of ink in my area said but still the same thing as HP74 (black) is the compatible ink cartridge and also saw a result stating to "reset the printer to work in my current position."  Need your help to enlighten me and give me the right solutions to these problems and the steps how to make good sense.   I need to use my printer so badly. Thank you.

    You will need to Contact HP and require a reset of regionalization.  It will take you have access to your computer and printer so that on the phone with HP agent.  If the C4383 is a model only sold in some regions it is not possible to have the region reset.

  • OfficeJet 5740 [redacted] s/n: ink cartridge problem 5740

    My 5740 is less than 6 months old. I inserted a new black cartridge 901 and a new tricolor cartridge 901 and a few printed pages.

    I now am getting an error for ink problems cartridge to remove and then reinstall, first black and now both cartridges. I reinstalled them several times and have restarted the printer twice.

    What can we do? This printer has worked quite well up to this point. Thank you.

    Hello @Mikegaand welcome to the Forums of HP, I hope you enjoy your experience!

    I see that you have problems with the cartridge. I would like to help!

    I recommend you start by removing the ink cartridges and perform a power reset.  Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

    I would also say to following the steps found in this document:

  • without the Photosmart 5510 ink cartridges Control Panel cannot be accessed

    I have a Photosmart 5510 which has no ink cartridge. My intention is to use it to scan only, and I would like to be able to set up wireless. When I turn on the printer, the control panel displays this: "problem of ink cartridges.  One or more cartridges appear to be missing or damaged. Install or replace the affected cartridges. »

    The wireless button or the ePrint button cause anything to appear on the control panel and there is no other options, such as cancel or continue.

    Is there a way to go beyond this message of ink cartridges without installing cartridges?

    Hello

    In general, I'm afraid the answer is no, as a multifunction device, it requires the ink required to operate the device but there are of the workarounds you can try.

    That there is a problem with one or more of the ink cartridges should be sorted first, the control panel will not answer while the device is in an error state.

    You try to use the computer temporarily plugging in a USB port on the printer.

    If the printer is recognized by the PC in such a State, let it finish its configuration and open the software HP Photosmart 5510.

    Open the utilities tab and click on Setup & software printer, then click on convert USB to wireless and follow the steps on your PC.

    If this success then run a scan of your PC use.

    If it is not detected, which is likely to be affected by the error status of the device, such you will solve the problem first.

    You can follow these steps to solve a problem of cartridge if necessary:

  • HP C7280: ink cartridge access door is open

    Hello

    My HP Potosmart C7280 AIO (all-in-one) is stuck with an error message.

    Door open

    Ink cartridge access door is open.

    I have reeived a printer replacement in support of July 2008 and HP will not help because my original printer was purchased in Dec 2007.

    Google did not help

    Search HP support site did not help

    User manual did not help.

    I also tried this:

    power off

    Unplug the power cable

    Wait a minute

    Press and hold the "#" and "6" keys

    Plug in power chords

    Be patient

    Wait for the white screen out.

    Release the keys #6

    Press the button power

    ... all of this in the hope that a false alert will disappear. There NO :-(

    Experts out there?

    Is - this firmware/hardware translation?

    In the future, I'm not spending a dime more with HP unless this issue is resolved in a satisfactory manner.

  • I found the FIX for the problem of HP4500 ink cartridge!

    I had problems with my ink cartridge three colors... just like many others. After searching endlessly with no solution to the problem, I decided to take a flashlight and look inside the printer. What I found was a piece that had become crooked behind my color cartridge. It was a simple solution... I took a long thin to flat head screwdriver and pushed very GENTLY in place. I then ran a TEST PAGE and ALIGNMENT before I printed anything... it worked! Here is a picture I took before I did the setting of the insert on the left hand side, it's here that the color cartridge is going... If you notice, it appears to be crooked... he slipped easily right now in place. I've reintroduced the cartridges and closed the door. IMPORTANT * make sure that you unplug your printer before attempting to solve this problem * good luck and hope it's a permanent and not temporary solution

  • The life of ink cartridge and print head alignment failed

    I use an Officejet Pro 8500 A910 and did not have any problems with it until I recently changed the ink two weeks ago.

    I bought HP original on Amazon UK and after four attempts to align the print head (which fails permanently), my ink for all, but the black cartridge high capacity is exhausted.

    I havn't print all pages in full color, black only for the ebay postage labels.

    Hell this printer that consume all my ink in five attempts to alignment?

    HP will reimburse me for the color ink cartridges?

    I solved the problem.

    BUY A CANON INKJET...

    It cost me less than a new set of cartridges for the HP OfficeJet

  • Re: 5740 ink cartridge problem

    Same problem with HP Officejet 5742 using ink instant. Error for the last 5 days. No new HP cartridges and yet if I bought a new one and installed. This works. Pretty upset that the ink cartridges HP Instant service seems don't have not one) detect a problem b) to correct it. What's the point?

    I'm sorry you have been having problems with your HP Officejet 5742 and instant ink cartridges.

  • HP Envy 4500: Instant ink cartridge problem

    I just registered to instant ink HP.

    All new Instant cartridges have been installed on January 28, 2015, I printed just 2 pages.

    I turned on at the time of the printer and the message on the screen says:

    I followed by using the line, contacted HP cat, cannot get assistance UK on phone, cleaned the contacts of the printhead as suggested on the help section of the software, removed and re inserted the cartridge approximately half a dozen times but still no joy.

    Instant ink cartridges are installed:

     

    After sending an e-mail to HP ink I asked a new cartridge.

    What is likely to happen or is there anything else I can do?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi @scifijunky73

    Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support. I understand that you are having problems with one of the instant ink cartridges you have.

    My recommendation is to contact HP customer care on 0207 660 0596 (indicating your call is on the program of instant ink) Monday - Friday 08:30-18:00 (except holidays). It is best that you contact team of instant ink for your cartridge problem.

    Please let me know if you are unable to contact the team of instant ink.

  • Problem with color HP ink cartridge

    Title edited for clarity>

    I have a HP j4680 printer.  I get a massage saying: [Tri-Color] ink cartridge problem refer to device documentation to troubleshoot.    I don't know what that means.  If I take the color out, the message stop cartridge and I can print in black.  If I put it back in it does not print and gives me the same message.  I really struggle with computers so any help must be step by step.  Don't assume I know that even the simplest things.  I just found out that I don't even know which category to select below.   I've seen windows and internet explorer on my screen so I guess that windows.  My son set up and I click on firefox to start.

    As error messages go, that one is pretty clear.  This means that there is a problem with the color cartridge.  For troubleshooting tips, see here--> http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01818839&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&product=3692888

    Assuming that this is not a newly installed color ink cartridge, and even assuming that it's a real cartridge HP of the appropriate type for your printer, start by "step 3: clean the contacts ' to the page linked above.
