All-in-one Photosmart HP 3310: colors may not print correctly on A4 photo paper.

My HP 3310 printer gave me great prints for many years, but during the last 12 months, 210 x 297 mm prints threw a desaturated look and brightness has dulled as well. My photos 10 x 15 cm print perfectly.

I did all the recommended suggestions, cleaning of the print head, aligning the printer even restore to factory default to no effect.

I use Spyder Pro 5 to ensure that I have the exact colors on my screen.

I printed via the printer settings and also the settings of Photoshop.

At the present time, all my photos contest must be overexposed and strongly saturated for previously appreciated results.

I only use HP photo papers and real HP363 inks.

I hope someone can put an end to my frustration.

  • The red color does not print correctly. Have just replaced the Red cartridge and the problem remains

    HP Color LaserJet 2600n, Windows 7 64 bit

    The red color does not print correctly, it of a weak orange and turn yellow on the edges.

    The problem is, even if we just replaced the cartridge.

    The other colors are fine.

    I'm sorry.  It's a consumer forum and your printer is a product of the company; would be better served on the forum planned for it.  The business forum will be experienced in printers of business community members and expose the post more than members with the knowledge needed to answer.

  • All-in-one Photosmart HP 3310: black printing in odd rows

    Hello

    I have had this printer for almost 6 years and never had a problem with it until this last week. My impression started out as below:

    As you can see, the colors are fine, but black seems to be coming out in lines. As the black cartridge was almost empty, I replaced it and received the same impression. I replaced that one (just in case the cartridge was defective) and received the same impression.

    My printer is out of warranty; I tried to clean the print heads and align the printer several times over the last week and nothing has changed. In fact, every print I do has the same meaning (even thickness, same color, same type [dotted, lined, etc.], in the exact same places every time, which is interesting.

    I tried the reset of the printer (pulling on the power cord for 15 to 30 seconds, and then reconnecting), alignment and clean the print heads in the printer menu, and then on the menu in my Mac, and I tried to get the number online (here and here), but came to nothing.

    I'm currently located in the United States, in Arizona. I understand that it is an older printer, so I may end up having to replace, but I was hoping someone might have a suggestion.

    Thank you

    Hey @TheLastDuchess,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you are having problems of black print quality when printing HP Photosmart 3310 all-in-one printer. I first want to thank you for all the details you provide me in your message. I see you've already replaced the black cartridge twice, cleaned and aligned the print head several times and reset the printer nothing helps. Unfortunately at this time, it sounds like you have a defective system of the print head. The printhead in the unit model is not replaceable part. It reads the cartridges and ink to go on the control document. If this part in case of failure to replace the entire unit would be necessary. According to all the steps that you have already tried, at the moment, you have exhausted the troubleshooting steps. I don't want you to run one more cleans away from your printhead system because it uses no ink in order to rinse the ink for cleaning system. The rule is generally, if cleans 2-3 make no difference, not to go forward with more clean as you will just waste ink.

    At that time, I suggest that you contact our Technical Support by phone team to explore additional options.

    Good luck and happy holidays!

  • Photosmart 2610 yellow color will not print

    My Photosmart 2610 is a pig.  She refuses to print Yellow.  I went through several routines clean and preferred and changed the cartridge for a new brand, but nothing raises any dribble of yellow.  Any help would be appreciated - thanks.

    I would gently pat dry the printhead on a damp cloth.  A working cartridge will have a strong task of cyan, magenta and yellow.  I suspect that your cartridge will show only cyan and magenta.

    In this case, there are a few things to check.  Are the original HP or reman cartridges / filled?  The latter usually have poor quality, see the study here.   The other possibility is that the cartridges are original HP but outdated.  There is not all "expiry" on these cartridges that might lead to print does not correctly after a certain date, but very old cartridges may have failures in one or more colors.  Check the end of warranty date (two years from the date of production) as indicated in the paper here.  This date is also usually printed on the lower right front back the package.  If the cartridges are very old and well beyond the end of warranty date, this is the likely cause.

    As a temporary measure, it can help to soak the cartridge in about 1 "of very hot water for about ten minutes, with the nozzle to the bottom plate.  Remove the cartridge and gently dry the electric contacts with a lint free tissue and try to print.

  • HP Envy 7640 e-all-in-one Seri: HP Envy 7640 does not print

    Printer locked up - line said that the printer's paper (not) and it was offline (no). I unplugged, restarted the computer and the printer. Followed all the basic troubleshooting tips and stupidly the suggestion to reset all printers. Big mistake, now zero printers happen when I try to add. The search option does not either. Is it my computer? I don't think so. This is a NEW printer - printer only a dozen or so articles. Help, please!

    Welcome to the HP community @ellumare,

    I read on your desire 7640 does not although you receive an "Out of Paper" error, the printer showed as 'offline' and currently cannot add printer on your Mac with 10.7.

    Here's what I would recommend. Try troubleshooting the equipment first, because if there is a problem with the unit, this will lead to software problems and troubleshooting cycle can get tedious.

    1. power reset the printer and make sure the printer is plugged directly into the wall, avoiding bars power and surge protectors. This ensures that the printer is full on.

    Turn on the printer.
    With the printer, unplug the power cord at the back of the unit.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the back of the unit.
    If the printer does not by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.

    2. try to make a copy of the front of the printer. If the work of copies successfully, go to step 3, if the copies do not work, tell me what happens when you try to make them as there is most likely a hardware problem.

    3. from your Mac:

    1. Reset the printing system
    2. Repair disk permissions
    3. Restart the Mac.
    4. Click on this link to download and install the full features and software driver: HP ENVY 7640 e-all-in-One Printer series full feature software and drivers
    5. Print from text editing and other test applications and also try to scan from HP Scan/HP Utility.

    I hope this helps, and I hope to hear the result!

    Tip: Make sure that the printer is plugged directly into the wall, avoiding bars power and surge protectors. This ensures that the printer is full on.

    My HP Officejet J4680 all-in-one ink jet printer will not print in Word 2010 documents. It will print .pdf and Excel 2010 documents. I ran printing HP and doctor Scan and check it and put to date and said all is fine. Just around checking on my computer it said in the devices that the printer is ok.

    This may be due to a problem with the profile for your monitor screen colors or color profiles embedded in images.

    Hello @ Tallgrayguy,

    I understand that you can't print with black ink cartridges. I would try to help with this problem.

    Chances are while the printer was sitting as a model of display used, the dried out print head. It's too bad that most print heads are not something you would find at your local big box store.

    On the front panel of your printer, press the arrow outside the screen. Select Configuration.

    Then tap Tools.  From there, locate the printhead cleaning option. Try this three times.

    I hope that this will work. If it isn't I would like to refer you to a post from Bob_Headrick.

    black ink does not.  I read the document completely, and then decide if it fits your situation.

    I would like to know how things will go.

  • HP All in One Photosmart C7280 scan issue with Snow Leopard

    Hello

    I bought my wife a new cool Mac mini. So it comes with Snow Leopard. We use it for our activities with an HP printer all in one Photosmart C7280. Unfortunately the scanner does not work. I did the mistack to install HP driver from the HP website and read after documentation of the HP Web site (probably like all users). So I decided to completely re-installed the machine (as it was new) and follow the installation procedure for HP who, to say that the pilot is coming up with Snow Leopard. After the new re - install, so I installed 10.6.1 patches and last HP driver from the site Web Apple as mentioned in the forum. (version 2.2)

    The printer is correctly detected, but there is no way mak it work the scanner on HP procedures. The scanner is not recognized at all, and the printer configuration window is not appearing the scanning tab as it is supposed to. It seems that the scan part it does not work in one.

    We love HP printer and it will be great to see it fixed.

    My network configuration is very simple:

    -192.168.0.176 is the IP address of the HP printer with 255.255.255.0 netmask

    -192.168.0.106 is the MacMini (3.1) IP address mask subnet even

    All connected using a router D-Link (5 ports).

    Printer/scan function works perfectly on our other Mac systems that are under Leopard. I tried to install Leopard on the new mac mini, but the installation DVD that we have (10.5.4) does not start successfully on the machine. We are so stuck.

    Any help really appreciated

    Jean-Marie

    Hello

    Good news, it worked. But I think that the problem came from the D-Link router that I used. Upnp has been set to allow, and it seems he mistook the discovery of the device. I proceed to turn off and the live showed you me overdrawn the printer on the network. I installed it, and the scanner has been recognized.

    If I turned my back to Activate Upnp, the scan function is dead. Thus, it probably is a problem of compatibility between the leopard to snow and this Protocol. What is strange, is that our whole system of leopard work with upnp enable or disable.

    Anyway thanks a lot for your help!

  • HP C3100 All - In - One Photosmart: very old printer and drivers

    I know that probably the answer to this already, but here goes anyway. I have an old printer. HP all-in-One Photosmart C3100. He has just shot ten years old. I had some time after 2006, or at the least, it is the date indicated on the manual.  I just got a new computer to replace my computer that was about as old. I climbed up from XP to Windows 7.

    My printer, which works great, needs a driver and HP does not seem to do more. On their website, they say nothing more than ten years. I have no chance or is there anything else I can do?
