DeskJet 3420 just stopped printing... why?

I recently lost the use of my wonderful 940c due to a faulty cartridge Deskjet (Yes, it's a HP), so I have brought out a 'new' Deskjet 3420 (but outdated) of my closet.  It works well, but all of a sudden just stop printing.  In my view, a paper jam may have preceded the problem, but I know that, whatever it is, I was printing at the time of bottling did print.  I tried re-initialization of the system, but no help.  I tried to install the new cartridges, but once again no help.  What in heaven's name happened?  I'm lost without a printer.  Thanks for your suggestions help.

HI - can you give some more details?  You receive an error message?  Is there a flashing light?

One thing to try:

-Unplug the USB cable to the back of the printer.

-Try printing a self-test:

  1. Turn on the printer.

  • HP OfficeJet 8000 just stopped printing

    Hi all

    I have a HP OfficeJet 8000 and have used for a while.  I tried to connect to my new comcast wireless router, but it does not work, so I re-connected to the airport, he was happy on and all was well.

    The other day, it just stopped printing.  The green light is on, all connections are secure.  It was working fine the day before and then more nothing.

    When I go to print, it shows it's open the connection and the percentage of the printed page and about a minute after that 100%, it says unable to connect to the printer, operation timed out.

    Why?  I need my printer!

    Hello wysmommyand thank you for getting back to me!

    I would recommend your computer and the printer off.  Once they are both down, unplug your power of router for 60 seconds and plug it back.  Once the router will begin broadcasting, turn on the printer and the computer.

    I would also recommend following the steps outlined in this document on a "printer not found" Error Message appears for the Officejet Pro 8000 Printer Series.

    Please hold me!

  • Windows 8 - officejet 6000 - just stopped printing black-

    Windows 8 - officejet 6000 - just stopped printing black-

    put a new black cartridge in and now it will not print black - going to test the page and color printing - can hardly see black text on the test page - gray value - has always been - no other changes have had recourse to the same printer for a little over a year.  Only clean the print heads still no black printing.

    Hi rea123,

    I understand that you have an Officejet 6000, which is currently not print black ink. I'm sorry to hear what is happening, but I will do my best to help you.

    I suggest that you first look through this document for Troubleshooting print quality problems because it may be a few steps that you have not yet tried.  This document 'Print head problem' or "Print head seems to be missing or corrupt" Message appears on the computer has also a few steps to know how to clean the print head manually.

    If all else fails, take a look at the Bob_Headrick station for soaking your printhead.

    Hope this helps, have a nice day!

  • Option-click on the Photoshop CS5 Clone Stamp tool just stopped working why?

    I am using clone stamp tool option and click on Photoshop CS5 on my Mac 10.6.5 and it stopped working suddenly on Monday.  He had just used Sunday.  So, I tried to isolate the problem.

    1. at the Apple store and my work as a keyboard and mouse is well spent on their internal systems running Photosochop CS5.  Problem still exists on the system at home.

    2 adobe photoshop suggested I go back to Mac 10.6.3.  I did and the problem still exists.

    3 reset all settings predefined in CS5.  Problem still exists.

    4. has spent several hours with Adobe Photoshop tech on phone - he could not operate it remotely either.  RELOADED Photoshop from scratch.  Problem still exists.

    Question:

    This could be a hardware problem?  Graphics card problem?

    Or is it a software outside of CS5 and Mac OS problem?

  • HP Officejet 6500 has stopped printing, paper white just came out.

    My Officejet 6500 has just stopped printing.  I use a USB connection and my operating system is Windows XP Home Edition.  At first, it was just the text that Wouln't print but the colors would come by, even on test prints.  On a print document the little box comes up showing the data transferred to printer, printer starts but doesn't work with a blank page.  I have uninstalled/reinstalled program, has gone through the full program of the HP Solutions guided, checked all connections, installed the new driver, and yet do not print anything.  Have never had any previous problems since I bought.  I have not recently installed new programs.  Would appreciate any other suggestions.

    After everything I lived, I finally solved the problem.  Although the ink levels showed ink cartridges, I put a new black in one and it works!

  • Re: Deskjet 3070 printer stop printing black ink

    Same thing happened to me. Black print cartridge has just stopped printing all of a sudden. I changed it a couple times but without success. Tried the workarond provided by someone else in this thread (type of glossy paper, normal quality) and that seems to work so far.

    Could someone HP help? My printer is out of warranty and 1.5 old now.

    Thank you

  • LaserJet 2840: LaserJet 2840 Stopped printing in color

    My 2840 has just stopped printing in color only in black and white.  It comes from working well for over a year.  Help!

    If you print a page of status or the demo of supplies in the menu of the printer, it prints in color. If so, you should check the print driver or to reload the driver.

  • DeskJet 5740 does not print

    This printer has worked flawlessly for the past six years. All of a sudden, he just stopped printing. No degradation of quality. Just a day, it was beautiful, and the next day, zip. Loads of paper, it looks like his impression, but there's absolutely nothing on paper when it comes out. Ink tank indicators are not on, as they would be if it wasn't more ink. Indeed, absolutely everything on the device looks and seems normal - except that now it does not print.

    If the printer has been disconnected from power before that the cartridges were parked correctly, they could have clogged print heads.  Try to gently absorb printheads on a damp cloth.  two strong ink black to black, the color should be strong tasks of cyan, magenta and yellow.  If there are only small tasks then try up to three cycles of cleaning the box tool.
