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?

  • 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.

  • HP Photosmart Premium Fax all-in-One Printer-C309a-new black ink cartridge will not print

    I just installed a new black cartridge (made by HP) what print quality became poor in the middle of a job.  He completed the job just fine, but when I tried to print later, the parts of the document that are in color/black and white will be printed.  Black is simply absent from the document.  the level of supply shows as thin and all the diagnostics indicate that there is no probem.  I have not received the error messages.  I tried to turn the printer power switch.  I tried to clean the print heads.  I tried to uninstall & reinstall the cartridge.  I do not have the black cartridges extra to try to see if that does not solve the problem, but as stated above, it worked at first.  I have just printed on ordinary regular white printer paper.  I tried all the relevant measures in the troubleshooting document of poor mailed print quality HP elsewhere on this page.  nothing worked!  another post mentioned someone resetting the printer, but did not say how it was done.  any ideas on a solution? Thank you!

    To reset the printer, follow these steps:

    While the unit is turned on, remove the power cord at the back of the printer. Wait at least 30 seconds, then plug the power cord to the back of the printer, then turn on the device. That will complement a power reset.

    Now, lack of black printing can be the result of a number of things. If it's only missing say when printing from Word, then print settings in Word are set to grayscale only (or something similar) which would exclude the black cartridge. If all programs, so it's either the main print in grayscale settings only the value or the cartridge/print head is blocked to the top/Sales. If this isn't the print settings, then create a report of print quality and follow the steps described in this document:

  • 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.

  • How to install a PHOTO HP 564XL ink cartridge in the printer all-in-one HP Photosmart 6525?

    I have a HP Photosmart 6525 all-in-one printer.  I buy original HP 564XL ink for my printer in a color combo-pack at my local Costco.  The package includes 3 color cartridges as well as a 4th label "Photo".  My printer has only the slots 3 color + a location for a larger black cartridge. I would use the photo cartridge, but my question is:

    How to install the Photo cartridge?

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hi l_john,

    I understand that, with the combo, pack of ink you bought came with a Photo black cartridge, and you're wanting to use it in your printer. In regards to your printer, it is not compatible with the black cartridge Photo, both black and Photo black cartridges are not interchangeable. I have included a document here for you that explains this in detail.

    Thank you.

  • All-in-one HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m requires the password wireless

    All-in-one HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m we recently had to ge to a new Westell router for the wireless. the printer connects when we put the password but anytime the commection to the router go out it will not reconnect until the password is released. He seems to forget the password.  System indicates that the software is up to date for the printer.

    Hi ckmcgraw,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see that you have recently changed your wireless router and now when he loses the connection, you must enter the password on your HP Photosmart C309g to reconnect to the wireless network. The reason why this could happen, it's every time, it loses the connection to the router assigns a new IP address, which would require a password for the network.

    You can set a static IP address for the printer, which should solve your password entry wireless every time, he loses the connection. See the steps below:

    • Print a network from the front of the printer Configuration Page. Note the IP address of the printer.
    • Type this IP address into a browser to reveal the internal settings of the printer.
    • Choose the network tab, then wireless along the left side, then on the IPv4 tab.
    • On this screen, you want to set a manual IP address. You must assign an IP address outside the range that the router sets automatically (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') 250
    • Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it's different, if so, use it)
    • Enter the IP Address of your router (on the Page of the Network Config) for the gateway.
    • Enter for the first DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for second DNS. It's Google DNS. You can choose a different external DNS if you wish.
    • Click 'apply '.

    Please let me know the result, I hope this helps!

    Thank you

    Hello
    The software provided for your device does not include OCR functionality
    As you can find listed in the specification of digitization, text files like TXT or RTF are not supported by the HP software:
    [SPECIFICATIONS]

    You can use a solution of OCR 3rd party to analyze as editable text.

    If you have Microsoft Office suite, there is a good chance of the suite to provide this type of functionality:

  • HP PSC 1317 all-in-One Printer Windows 7 64 bit driver could not install

    Hello

    HP PSC 1317 all-in - One Printer driver Windows 7 64 bit does not.  I tried to install the driver after the incredibly long download (362 MB) to be told by windows that there is no driver.  I have uninstalled the software 3 times and reinstalled.  I unplugged, disconnected, re-downloaded and re-installed.  I downloaded the 64 bit vista drivers (they do not work).  I came to your site to seek support that is denied to me because the printer is out of warranty.  Unless, of course, I want to pay for it.  Which I did, after spending a considerable time (see above) trying to get it work on Windows 7.  Last thing to install on another machine, which I just do exactly the same result, and no sign of anyone else having the same problem everywhere.

    Now what can I do to get this printer to work?

    I solved this by using Windows update, which then installed a driver in the end.

    This was not a great experience.

    Why have a download for the version of 64-bit Windows 7 for this printer that puts all the other bloatware of HP but does not contain any driver.  Then you perform the update from Microsoft to get a signed HP driver?  Why can't the HP driver actually be content in the download presumed HP so you can Dodge all the crap software I just uninstall anyway.  A huge waste of time and effort.  Two weeks to solve a problem that should have been done in twenty minutes.

    Not good PR client on any level.
