DeskJet 3050 a: Alignment Page prints clearly. Docs are not!

Yesterday, I installed a new HP print cartridge (#61 black) in my printer HP Deskjet 3050 All in One, J611 a. (Everything was fine with the printer before installing the new cartridge).

I printed the alignment page, which looked very well - clear, strong.

Then, I placed the alignment on the scanner page and clicked OK. The alignment page has been analyzed and the printer said alignment was successful.

Then I tried to print a Word Doc. The letters and images were not aligned - the entire document had to effect "double vision". I tried this on the parameters of "fast draft" and "best quality". Same effect. Also, I tried to print a pdf file as well as a page directly from my Safari browser. Same effect.

I then tried to change the route. Still, the alignment page prints perfectly. Double no vision. A beautiful look at just the page, I expect. Unfortunately, when I tried to pring a doc: double vision again.  I have tried to align the printer, this time by sending orders for the Mac (instead of directly from the printer). Alignment page prints fine. Scan reported successful alignment. Doc printed: double vision.

I cleaned the scanner glass.  I have confirmed that there is enough ink in the color cartridge.  I then printed a "Printer Status Report." As with the alignment page, the status report is out of the printer looking for very well. And nothing in the report that indicates problems.

Finally, I scanned the document alignment and sent the image to the Mac. The image looks perfect on screen. I printed the image. Double Vision!  I then tried to copy the alignment page using the printer copier. Is where it gets very weird: there was a double vision on dashes and and angled brands, but the text and the image of the printer (taking the low third of the alignment page) print perfectly well. In other words, with an alignment page perfectly readable on the scanner glass, I pressed the copy and the result was a double vision for some but not all that printed ON THE SAME PAGE!

Help! And thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

MAC OS 10.7.5

SOLVED!  I got a question on this site involving a printer that has not detected the alignment page ("Officejet 5510 alignment page not detected').

The difficulty seems to be to eject BOTH cartridges.  That's what I did: (1) ejected the bw, then the color cartridge (2) turn the printer off, then on, (3) reinsert the color cartridge and then the cartridge p.c., (4) printed a new alignment page, (5) scanned the alignment page, (6) printed a Word Doc.

Everything seems to work very well.

I hope it helps others with similar issues to printer.

    Hi Molly9094,

    Welcome to the HP forums!

    I see your message you have a Deskjet 3050, after changing the print cartridge is not as he had before. I'm sorry to hear that, but I will certainly do my best to help you!

    Just to be safe, I would test the hardware of the printer to make sure that everything goes well on the end of the first. If you print a Network Configuration Page does it come in black?

    If you print from somewhere on your computer such as Notepad (Windows) or Text/Edit (Mac) coming out as it should be, or must it also a lot of pale gray?

    Once I know this information can we move forward!

    Hope to hear from you soon!

  • DeskJet 3050: HP Deskjet 3050 nothing happens when printing from a laptop computer, but works very well of others

    So I just got a new laptop and I am trying to connect to my printer. I think he has connected all the beautiful and the printer will appear on my laptop. When I go to print something good, it is said that it is printing on my laptop (including indicating the percentage of how much it is printed) before disappearing from the queue on my screen. Nothing happens however on the printer.

    When we use another laptop that is connected before, it prints perfectly.

    Not really sure what is in place and was hoping someone could help me!

  • New PC with Windows XP, XP replacement. My PDF docs are not open

    New PC with Windows XP, XP replacement. My PDF docs are not open and I get the following messages: BE Adobe Reader could not open 'xxx.doc' because it is not a type of supported file or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an attachment to e-mail and has not been correctly decoded). OR Word now converts your PDF in an editable Word document. This can take some time. etc. Help please.

    You have Microsoft Word installed? If so, it seems that you need to change your file associations so that Word opens files .doc instead of the player. To do this, select a .doc file, right-click and choose "open with > choose default program", select MS Word and make sure that "Always use the selected program to open this type of file" is selected.

    I have a HP Deskjet 3050 J610 Series all-in-One Printer using Windows 10. It is not wireless I'm using a USB port for printing.

    I used the HP printer Assistant, make sure that the printer has been updated with the latest version of the driver. I ran the cleaningprogram.

    My problem is, when I try to print a PDF file all the text within the framework of the formula is clearly printed. It is printed, but it is very indifferently.

    Is there a kind of setttings that can handle this?

    If I print the PDF file and tick print as image then it prints all text clearly.

    Looking forward to hear from you

  • HP Officejet Pro 8000 - guard alignment page printing

    I had trouble with black ink print does not correctly so after several cleanings I decieded to manually clean the print head. I took the printhead of the printer then whipped cream, the part where the ink comes out with a most paper towle. After that I put the print head in the printer prints a print alignment page. Ok. Now, every time I have print whatever it is that the printer will be after the print job is printing another page of alignment. Is there a way to stop? Thanks for your help.

    Hello TheDeerSlayer,

    When you clean the print heads, you should try to not clean the part where ink is coming out of it (nozzles). It is very easy to damage them and if it happened, most likely the only way to solve the problem is to replace the print head. There are two things, you might try to see if you can get the print head working properly again: first thing is to clean the sensor that checks the nozzles. It is located on the right side of the printer at the bottom of the area in which the cart moves, it looks like a strip of metal which is only visible when the transport is located on the side more to the right of the printer. Be sure to use a cloth moistened with cold water. What you might try if this does not solve the problem and the nozzles are just clogged with ink and not really damaged, is to heat water (almost boiling point) and then soak the part of the printhead whith the nozzles in the water for some time. Let the printhead to dry and then install again and see if it works now.

    This picture is of you can location of the sensor that checks the print head nozzles. The image is not so great and is an another printer, but it is located in the same place on Officejet Pro 8000.
