Cannot print using HP photosmart C3100 printer

Original title - printer problems?

I have a HP photosmart C3100 printer. It has been giving me problems in the sense that whenever I turn it on it would be the test of the printer which is routine, each time you insert a new cartridge. I opted to leave it on and like that I do not lose excess ink. Now the red light indicating that you are in paper or a paper or door jam in the broken back remains open on and I cannot print. Any ideas other than buying a new printer?

Hello

As OEM HP is responsible for the good operation of the printer and their
drivers provided. Check with HP support, their documentation online and
drivers and ask in their forums.

Good luck, you need to update or reinstall the latest driver.

  • HP Photosmart C6280: cannot print on C6280 wireless after the upgrade to Windows 10

    Cannot print on C6280 wireless after the upgrade to Windows 10. Have removed the device, but try to re install the printer when is not found. Can print if I connect USB. Tried to reload the driver using HP Support software help, but when he arrives at the end of the download fails.

    Hi @Ron9871,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I see that you are unable to get your printer HP Photosmart C6280 wireless printing. I'd be happy to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

    I would like to try the steps in this guide, "offline" Status Message printer (Windows 10).

    If the problem persists, you may encounter an IP address conflict. It's a good idea to assign the printer a static IP address outside your DHCP range. For example, some routers default DHCP is located between 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.200. So, I would use 192.168.0.232.

    • Print a Page of Network Configuration menu of the printer front panel. Note: the IPV4 IP.
    • Type the IP address in the browser to bring up the SAP.
    • Choose the network tab, then wireless on the left side, and then select the IPv4 tab.
    • Select Manual IP.
    • Enter your IP address manual (192.168.0.232)
    • Enter 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask, except if it is different.
    • Enter the IP address of your router that sits on the Network Configuration Page) for the default gateway.
    • Please, click on manual DNS server. For the preferred DNS Server Manual please enter 8.8.8.8 and the Alternate DNS Server Manual, please enter 8.8.4.4.
    • Click on apply.

    Please restart the router, the printer and the computer in this sequence.

    If you're still having problems, please download and run the print and Scan doctor, it will be probably diagnose and fix the problem you are experiencing.

    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (she print or scan, error messages)

    You can try to change your WSD printer port by a Standard TCP/IP port.

    To do this, you will need your current IP address printers.  The Network Setup page shows the parameters of network for the product. To print this page; Press the button of network () on the control panel of the product.

     
  • Photosmart b109n cannot print in color black

    I have a Photosmart b109n. I tried to print a bunch of images and half of the images was good, but the other half was very strange. As you know a printer when it prints a picture, it makes all the colours of yellow, magenta and cyan, even in the dark. My printer can print colors perfectly but cannot print black parts on the image. It's a gray a little something. Here's an example of what it's like (the grey parts had to be black):

    My mystery is now solved. My statement was false, that the printer uses the black cartridge when it is printing photos. So the real problem was that the black ink cartridge.

  • Cannot print with Windows 7 and Photosmart 7350

    Hello. Recently, I converted my laptop to Windows 7 Home Premium OS. I have no problem printing to work with this computer of our HP LaserJet but when I enter the problem starts. I have a wireless home network with my Photosmart 7350 connected to my desktop computer that is still running XP. The wizard sees the printer and adds but cannot print a test page. He says that it is waiting, then the print job disappears. I downloaded the Vista driver for the printer. When I run the troubleshooter, it cannot determine the problem. No surprise as convenience stores rarely did help. I got around the problem by sending documents to the desktop so far and then print it from there, but it gets old. Any ideas?

    Please install the printer on Windows 7 by using the following steps:

  • Cannot print photos from my HP all-in-One Photosmart Plus printer C210

    Since I've owned this printer, I was never able to print photos from the main or the photo tray!  Use Windows 7.  No matter what try I said, I get an error message "Re-insert or lower the Photo tray.  When I try to set again, nothing seems to be wrong with the tray (s) and the printer tries to print again and I get the same message.  Have tried everything, including reinstalling the driver of printer without result.  Cannot print photos from any photo software (I have 4) including PhotoShop Elements.  What I am doing wrong?  Thank you!  I wish that I had not thrown my old all-in-in-one!

    Thanks 8lives, I'll check the links you have provided.  I am using HP Premium 4 x 6 paper.  I have not been able to print on plain paper before, but it will try again today.

  • Cannot print to a printer wireless HP using Windows 7 computer

    I just purchased and installed a wireless HP 8630 computer and installed on a desktop computer connected to my router as a network printer.  The computer recognizes the printer, like the network, but the computer cannot print to it.  I can ping the printer from the computer and you can see it as a device connected to the network web interface.  When I run HP diagnostics, it allows to print a test page and tells me that all is well.  When I try to print from Word, Outlook, web browser, or anything else the computer it just does not print.  I get no prompt or anything else.  It just says: 0 jobs on hold, then disappears.   I can print from a computer using Windows XP on the network.  I can also print from my ipad with airprint.  I can't just simply print to the Windows 7 computer.  I can copy and same scan, but can't print.

    I read that all the prior tries to fix the problem, but it remains pursists.   Windows 7 computer is 64-bit.  Netgear router N.  Everything is updated.    Any help is appreciated.

    The solution to my problem was install the 8630 driver and software, then driver update for the printer instead of the 8630 8600 driver.

  • Cannot print without wire - HP photosmart premium

    I've had my printer for at least a few years, with limited use. I have no problem to print wireless until a couple of days (I have a router with wireless Netgear 52).

    I get an error message indicating that the printer is offline.  When I uncheck "use printer Offin" in the printer properties (I use Wondows 7), I get an error message stating that the "cannot print document."  Sometimes I don't get the message offline printer, it just says: "print document faled.

    When I run the diagnostic it says that the wireless radio is on.  In addition, the blue light for the wireless on the control panel is on.  My wireless works fine and all computers and wifi devices are connected.

    What should I do?

    Hi adisank,

    Sorry my suggestion did not work for you, but I have another!

    I recommend you try to convert a USB connection to a wireless connection. Convert from a connected USB wireless printer.

    Also if you print a Network Setup page, nothing missing the test?

    Hope it works and have a nice day!

  • Cannot print using Windows 7 using HP Deskjet 842C series

    I cannot print from windows 7 using HP Deskjet 842 C series.  Windows and HP said is compatible, it can only print from other applications and not Windows 7.  Any suggestions?

    In fact - what HP means without out and say what they deem a legacy device (printer) and even if they included a universal driver (Microsoft put in Windows 7) and it should work without doing you anything else - it is perhaps not fully functional as it was in previous operating systems where they (HP) it supported.

    HP in this case is the manufacturer of the equipment and in all related case material - the hardware manufacturer is responsible for the materiel support (drivers, software, etc.)

    You can follow the advice of HP, if you want to:

    But really what they're trying to say is, "your printer is old - buy a new one from us so that we can stay in business."
