alternates printer, printing, sharp, clear and crisp, then fuzzy for awhile, back

I have a HP DesignJet 5500 with UV inks.  The PDF worked very well and then I got a new roll of paper and now it alternates between very crisp and clear printing, then blurred.  For example, the printhead goes and comes and down the very clear print paper roll so it blurred impressions for an inch or two, an inch or two clear.  The new roll of paper is the same type of paper that worked very well.  I tried to change the paper settings and make a new PDF file, but nothing seems not to help.  Any ideas?  I can upload more photos if it would help.

The first sentence sould read 'the printer worked very well' no, 'the PDF worked very well.

The problem was the new media roll was heavy and the printer rolls glided and couldn't turn the Chuck and roll easily.  I cleaned the rollers of the printer and platten and oiled the ends of the axle that holds the media and now it prints very well.

  • LaserJet Pro CM1415fn: Printer does not print clear and precise output

    The LaserJet Pro CM1415fn can print on fabric papers?

    My fabric craft minor wife printed on papers project. She used to tape the corners of the tissue on normal paper first, but this caused the paper to jam. It then continues by gluing the tissue lightly on normal paper with a spray of glue.

    Last week, the two toner cartridges yellow and cyan to run out of ink. I bought 2 new original HP cartridges and installed it this morning when I noticed that the test page is not very clear or sharp as it used to be. Lines and colors are too full. I wonder if the print on absorbent paper may have caused this problem.

    Appreciate your support first clarify if we can continue to print on paper, fabric or not and the second how can I solve this problem.

    Hi @AhmedAttia,

    Calibrate the printer.
    On the printer setup, configuration of the system, the print quality menu tap and select the item in the color calibration.
    Select calibrate now.

    Print a Diagnostics Page and print a Page to see the results.

  • Color LaserJet CP1025: printer prints one page and then stops

    I've had my printer for several years. Now, when I try to print a multiple-page file, it prints a page and stops. I need to print each page individually. It is never used to do this.

    Hey @Egolioxon,

    Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

    I understand that you have a problem of partial print job when you use your HP LaserJet Pro CP1025 colour printer.  I would like to help.

    First of all, I recommend to run you HP and Scan Doctor for Windows printing.  You can click here to install it.  This utility can find and fix what is sick of your configuration.  In addition, if this approach does not help, I suggest to work your way through the steps listed in this article from HP.  She is expected to rule out possible problems of print queue.  Finally, it won't hurt to empty your temporary files, as explained below:

    Clear the Temp folder:

    1. Open your Start menu and in the box "search programs and files", type %temp% , and then press enter.
    2. When the Temp folder opens, select Ctrl + A at the same time on your keyboard
    3. Once everything is highlighted in the Temp folder select "delete" on your keyboard to delete the files in the Temp folder. No files and folders on your computer will be deleted. This only deletes temporary files. If a file is always be used by a program on your computer, you'll be up the pop to 'jump' the item.
    4. Once the temporary files are deleted to close the window
    5. On your desktop, right click on the recycling bin and select empty recycling bin

    Please let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post.  If I helped you to solve the problem, feel free to give me a virtual h.o.t. by clicking the "Thumbs Up" icon below and by clicking to accept this solution.

    Thanks again for your post and have a great day!

  • Is there a difference through the add printer from the Menu then simply open the print server in the Explorer, and then right-click on the printer you want, and then hit?

    Add a network printer (add printer vs right-click-> Connect)

    Hey just have a quick question that I can't find anywhere.

    To add network printers is there a difference through the add printer from the Menu then opening just the print server in the Explorer, and then right-click on the printer you want and pressing on connect?

    Hello Doughty08,

    No, there is no difference. Both methods will install the same printer available driver and the two will work the printer even.

  • HP 3050 printer prints not clearly even after replacing the color and black cartridges...

    I have a problem on a HP 3050 printer all-in-one that is just a year old.  The printer is not used for several months and it was working properly before.  I tried to print a page and had missing horizontal print, I tried to clean the print heads and it did not help.  I replaced the cartridges with new ones and noticed that the ink levels showed that had the old cartridges.  Black was half full and the color was full.  It wasn't new purchased in-store cartridges refills.

    I tried to force an alignment page on the maintenance of the printer screen and this failed repeatedly, undetected alignment page.  I did some research and even tried to clean links them / connectors than cartridges fits.  Looks like that leaving the cartridges for several months in the printer was bad and that I'll need to ge a new printer.

    Thanks for the tips,

  • Envy4500: Computer says printer is offline and will not print, but it's online

    I jumped through all the hoops of tech and there seems to be no perfect solution to this problem. However, can I change my settings wireless direct on with security on without security on Off, and at any time, I am doing this, work in Quebec will begin. But I have to do it almost everytime I have print something. I need to scan from my remote IO. Let me know if HP has a better solution. Obviously, the computer is not properly talk to the printer. I started having this problem after Windows 10, but yet curiously, so I don't think it's a matter of Windows.

    Hello

    Thank you for using the HP Forums.

    You can try this:

    Creating a TCP IP port

    1. print a Configuration Page to get the printer IPv4 address (you can also tap on the icon wireless on the front panel of your printer to obtain the IP address)
    2. on your PC, go to the Panel control, devices and printers, right-click the printer and on the left, click printer properties, select the Ports tab.
    3. click Add Port, select the Port TCP/IP Standard, then New Port and follow the instructions in the wizard.
    4. Enter the IP address of the printer.

    Note that you can ALWAYS go back to the original port the HP software installed by selecting the HP port on the Ports tab (in the properties of the printer)

    Hope that helps!

  • Want to 110 e - everything - in - a D411a - printer to idle and do not print

    I want 110 e - everything - in - a D411a - currently, print all the pages of my iMac (OSX El Capitan - v 10.11.6) test, but the printer shows as inactive when I try to print documents or emails etc.

    Loading the latest version of the software and drivers, but without success.

    Any guidance appreciated.

    Hey @DT_68, welcome to the Forums of HP!

    I understand that you can't print from iMac running to your craving for 110 El Capitan. In General, idle indicates that the printer is ready and waiting for a print job. Given the efforts that you have already done, I recommend resetting your printing system, repair disk permissions and then re-adding the printer (instructions to follow). If this resolves the issue please click Accept as Solution button below; If not, let me know and I will do everything I can to help.

    Reset the printing system

    1. Click on the Apple icon and then click on System Preferences.
    2. In the hardware section, click on Printers and Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
    3. Do a right click (or Ctrl + click) in the left panel and then click on reset printing system...
    4. Click OK to confirm the reset.
    5. Type the name and the correct password.
    6. Click OK to reset the printing system. The printers and Faxes dialog box shows any selected printer

    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer deleted can be re-added later by clicking the sign plus (+) symbol.

    Repair disk permissions

    • Click on your desktop so that it is written next to the Apple Finder icon, and then click OK (you will see this next to the Finder after file, edit and view).
    • Under Go, click Applications.
    • In Applications, select utilities.
    • In the Utilities folder, you will see disk utility, double-click on this icon to open the disc utilities.
    • Click on your hard drive, and then click first aid. Click OK to allow it to run.

    Once the repair is completed, restart the computer and add the printer to the back.

    When you add the printer, please ensure that you use the HP driver.

    1. Select Add another printer or Scanner
    2. Select the printer you are adding and next to the 'use' select the printer driver. As you can see from the image below, AirPrint driver will be automatically selected by default. You will need to choose your printer driver instead. Using the HP driver will help to isolate the problem, if the problem persists.

    I hope this helps.

  • New computer. Cannot print from Firefox. HP compjuter and printer. Can print from Outlook and explore.

    I just got a new HP with Windows 7 computer. I use a HP Officejet 4500 printer. When I try to print from Firefox it brings up a window FAX as I am trying to send a fax. This happens regardless of how I try to print. Go to file then print or the button "impression" on the toolbar navigation or by using the button "print" on the web site. If I try to print from Outlook 2007 or from Explorer 9 everything works fine and the page is printed. I prefer to use Firefox on explore. It's just something that MS put in Windows 7 to force the use of Explorer?

    {Ctrl + P} to print at the top, select your printer in the printer - name box. Currently, you have a "virtual" printer selected.
