  My Mac crashed and I had to reinstall everything. Photoshop keeps giving me the following error message, even after multiple uninstalls and reinstalls: error 16. It is impossible to get support from adobe - no one to call. It's for Photoshop 13.0.6 and Mac Os 10.10.5 help please. Please respond by email to [email protected]

  I got this error 16 experience on my Macbook. The permissions for the Application Support folder have been changed.

  A simple fix Terminal can take care of that.

  Open Terminal (you can just tap Terminal in Spotlight to find it).

  Copy and paste this command in Terminal: sudo chmod-r 777 library/Application\ Support / Adobe

  Press enter, give your password if requested, and then try again. You may need to restart your Mac.

• all in one HP Photosmart B111h printer black cartridge 5514

  Set us up our new all-in-one HP Photosmart 5514 B111h printer yesterday.  The black cartridge seems to print does not always and printer don't align.

  Here is the document Print quality for your printer troubleshooting: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02914910

  The printer may not properly align if she isn't black printing. Try the procedure described in the document, in particular one to clean the print head. Are there no black at all in prints? If you follow all the steps described in the paper and still can not black to print correctly, you will need to contact HP for warranty support.

• All-in-one HP Photosmart C310a: "True HP" cartridges are NOT SUSTAINABLE

  I use a HP Photosmart Premium C310a series all-in - one.I also use ONLY HP #564 ink cartridges. I do basically all my printing in grayscale, which I suppose is only black ink. I don't have one of the other cartridges replaced since the receipt of alerts "low ink" on them, awhile ago, I never print in color.

  My problem is that the black ink cartridges are not sustainable. I recently replaced the larger of the 2 black inks in January. Since then, I have only printed perhaps 25 pages. Now, it's as if it is empty.

  It shows low on ink diagnosis, however, when I run a report of print quality, it shows full. I ran a report of alignment (failure) and cleaning cartridges (doesn't give me an option of 'yes' or 'no' as shown in the troubleshooting guide)

  Before replacing the cartridge in January, I cleaned the print head / contacts as the same thing happening.

  I REALLY want to replace the whole print head, but also can't keep replacing a new cartridge about 25 pages.

  ANY SUGGESTIONS?

• OfficeJet Pro All In One 6835: Officejet Pro 6835 printhead error

  My Pro Officjet 6835 all in one shows a printhead error.  I installed new ink cartridges about 2 weeks ago, and it printed fine since then.  I tried troubleshooting.  When I try to "Clean printhead" computer, it simply says "printer is busy".  When I try to clean the printer configuration menu, it shows that it is cleaning for about a half second and then returns to the maintenance printer screen.  On one attempt, it seems to work, but after 3 hours, no there was no change or action.  I have reset the printer (unplug the unit for more than 60 seconds - of the printer and the power outlet), off several times and contracted cartridges to attempt to clean the print head.  It doesn't seem to be removable, so I'm stuck.  I'm currently under Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.3.  I really need to be able to print several documents as soon as possible.  Help?

  Hi @customerHI

• lack of alignment 8500 after installing new print heads

  I replaced the print heads in the 8500 wireless all-in-one and get alignment failed.  printer will print documents sent to it, but follows with a print alignment page.  Displays the alert of misalignment.

  always print test page of alignment after each document printed.

  Note: replace the print heads about two years without any problem.    Patrick

  I appreciate the answer @patrickoj

  When the alignment fails, it will continue to retry the alignment every time that you print - it's frustrating, but it's normal.

  If you have tried all the steps of a "alignment failed" Error Message appears on the printer control panel, I would like to contact HP Support to see about replacing the printhead (s) that do not work properly. Check the model number and the form to receive a file number for faster assistance.

  You can review the limited warranty for print HP ink and print heads replaceable by the customer of consumables HP inkjet cartridges, whether your print heads are in warranty.

  Thank you

• I have the print head and the alignment of the problems with our officejetpro8500 910 a.

  We noticed that the cyan ink was not printing. The product is out of warranty about five weeks before we noticed a problem. We have replaced all the ink with the new hp ink cartridges. We have tried printhead cleaning several times until the third level cleaning when cleaning the print head has failed. We tried to align the printheads without success. We have been dealing with this during more than a month now. We have only 440 pages printed during our first page of self-test diagnostics. Our print head shows that it is under warranty until April 4,2012. We consulted a repair center. We have exausted all the other options until the replacement printhead. We changed to print in black only. Now, she wants to print a test page everytime we try to print something. Ink, we bought at costco for this printer was a third of the price of a new model of 8600. Please help before my wife beat me with this printer!

  If the printhead says it expires April 3, 2013, so the date of warranty.  You should be able to get a replacement print head by contacting technical support of HP and good news, it should be free, since the part is under warranty.  You can join the 1-800-474-6836 technical support to the United States and the Canada International users click here.  Let me know what happens.

• Photosmart 210 a: won't print black after installing new print heads

  Hello, I bought and installed a new printhead. It will print color but not black.  They were all new cartridges when the print head went down.  the tools to say all the cartridges are full, please help.

  Hey there @LMACE!

  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  I see that your printer is not printing black once the print head had been replaced.  I would be more then happy to provide you with some suggestions that can make things work again.  The first thing I would suggest is to remove the cartridges and printheads the printer and manually clean the electrical contacts on the printhead and the printer.  It is possible ink sprayed on the copper contacts causing a bad connection, when the new print head has been installed.  If the printhead is not getting a good connection, you may notice messages on the printer error and poor print quality.

  To clean manually the printhead in the B210a Photosmart click here: manually clean the print head

  If please, after back and let me know how it goes!

• All-in-one HP Photosmart C3140: pension / Reset C3140 all-in-one for gift

  Hi all

  I'm retiring my all-in-one HP Photosmart C3140 printer/scanner. Is there a way to reset it completely, reformat or erase all the settings and memory on the machine, especially all preliminary scans?

  I scanned documents with the bank details, social security numbers, etc. on the device, and want to be sure, that it is perfectly clean before giving. (That, or I guess I'll take a hammer to the old fashioned way!)

  Thanks for your advice.

  More complex? I guess that not on this printer. That's what the textbook says.
