• Printer HP Deskjet 3845 print in purple instead of black

  I just changed the ink on my HP Deskjet 3845 printer cartridges and now it started printing everything in purple. Before changing the cartridge, the colors were very good. I tried the contact on the cleaning cartridges and that did not help. There is no error message. I tried to put the old black cartridge in to test it, and even though it was really faded, it was printing in black. Color ink seems to work very well I printed a test page and the colors are out. I also tried to print that a document without any ink color in and a blank page came out. The problem must be something to do with the black ink cartridge, but I don't know what it is or what to do!

  Hi paterson14,

  Is the cartridge OEM new or revised?

  This cartridge is defective. You have to buy another cartridge installed in the printer. Let me know what you find?

• Cannot print from Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010 military appreciation Edition on my HP Deskjet 3845.

  I have a new HP laptop and you tried to print with my HP Deskjet 3845. The only time it will print is when I troubleshoot or print my tax form. I have the pack family of software Office home and student 2010 Microsoft in the edition of military reconnaissance, but I got to the origin of Microsoft XP. They are not compatible? I'm just a user, and technical jargon goes over my head. I already go to solve problems and have not been able to solve my problem.

• DeskJet 3845 Windows 7 drivers

  I have a new Win7 machine and cannot load drivers for my DeskJet 3845.  I looked through the discussion forums and of course have tried this link http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01874792

  Other people seem to have been able to solve this problem with this printer out of previous discussions.  However, they did not work for me and I called HP support and they told me that it is no longer a driver available for this printer for Win7.  Can someone please verify this for me?  Or preferably, tell me where I can find the driver?  Thank you

  Yes, the 990c driver will work with your 3845. If you get this error message, it is something wrong with your WINDOWS. Try to restart the computer and repeat the steps.

  Also, there is no direct download for it.

• DeskJet 3845 prints blank pages

  I got the Deskjet 3845 printer for 6 years and I have not used for 1.5 years. I tried to get going again and every time I try to print, it prints blank pages. I just bought a new black ink cartridge and I removed the light orange Ribbon. I have Windows 8 and it's an old printer, so I don't know if it's a compatibility issue. I used printing HP and doctor scan and it said my printer was ok. However, when I printed a test page, it was empty. I'm totally stumped and I appreciate any help!

  All the best,

  Kyle

  I'm sorry you have a problem with the printing of blank pages. It seems you have the problem of material with the cartridges or the printhead. More he to sit upwards and not in use, the cartridges and printheads can dry out.

  Here is a link that can help you with this problem.

• "Printer: door open" error on HP Deskjet 3845

  The green light on my HP Deskjet 3845 printer continues to blink.  Whenever I try to print something, even a test page, the error message says "printer: open door."  However, I checked several times and there is no open door!

  I am on Windows 7 (64-bit) and I'm on with a jetpack from verizon wireless.

  I'd appreciate any help!

  Thank you!

  Generally when this starts to happen, it is because the door sensor went out. There is only a reset you can do to try and clear the error and it is a hard reset. I will include the instructions below. If this does not work, you will need to replace the printer.

  To do a hard reset:
  1. make sure that the printer is turned on.
  2. pull on the power cord from the printer.
  3. pull out the power cord from the wall.
  4. wait for 30 seconds.
  5. plug in the printer and turn it on.

• DeskJet 3845: deskjet 3845 paper not feed

  My Deskjet 3845 won't feed paper.  It was working fine and all of a sudden everything just stopped feeding paper.   I tried running the self-test by holding down the power button / stop and opening and closing door four times.   Systematic post, but it won't pull the paper.   I opened the back and checked the paper roll.  It seems - noevidence of any accumulation.  Then he touches, it feels like soft rubber, so I don't think that's the problem.  All the ideas!

  You were correct.  My 3845 had a hardware problem.   I hated to throw my 3845 followers, so I removed the top cover.  The problem is obvious - when he tried to print a test page, gray plastic gears at the end of the feed roller just spun.  The feed roller does not turn.

  To fix this, I drilled a 1/16"hole in the hub of the wheel in plastic and in the supply roll on a 1/8".  This required a wet strand.  Then, I inserted a piece of steel (a piece of a small nail) in the drilled hole rod, passing through the hub and in the feed roller.  I then epoxyed the stem in place and leave to harden for 24 hours.    Make sure you blow the shavings of metal and the dust of the printer with a lot of compressed air!

  The printer now works fine.

  At past total: $4 hardened forest, epoxy $5, I have time to time.

  Feel free to pass along this correction for someone else who needs it.

• Seeing flashing deskjet 3845.

  I had the problem, no more. Open the hood before, wait for the stay of the cartridge in the Center, turn off the printer, close the lid and the problem will be gone. This is the kind of reset or it is but works.

• HP Deskjet 3845 setting

  I should know this, but forgot how to set a default print style (e.g. print quality on the Quick project ).   Can someone remind me, please?   (Memory loss age taking too much effect these days)!

  Hello BrianJoyce,

  Welcome to the HP Forums.

  I see you are trying to print in the Fast project.

  If you use a windows, what should be done is go in the devices and printers folder and right mouse click on the Deskjet printer icon, and then select Preferences.  On the paper/quality tab, select project. Click on apply and then OK to apply the change.

  If you are using a Mac, click on file, then print. This will open the print options window.  You may need to click on the dropdown arrow at the top right of the window if it is not expanded to display all the options.

  Under the Type of paper/quality, you will be able to see a down arrow quality option below.  Set this option to the project.

  I hope this helps the issue at hand.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to write me again at any time.

  See you soon,.

• DeskJet 3845: Where'smy printer gone?

  My 3845 printer works OK but need the black cartridge has changed.   I put in a new, but with the printer does not respond so I replaced the cartridge with an another new cartridge.   All I get is the Green LED flashes (or turn it off completely).  The integrated test system does not either.   I checked all the cables, they are OK, but even HP Support Assistant now can't find the printer.  I even tried to reinstall it, but in vain.   No error messages have not shown at any time.   Where should I go from here?

  In a final stand this morning, I turned on my p/c and inserted a third and my last, new tape in my printer.   Blow me down, it turns!   I tried to replace the previous two tapes, but none of them work to return to #3.   However, at least I have a printer working again at the price of one-for-the-price-of-three cassettes.   Oh, well, that's life I guess.   But thanks for all your interest and tries to advise.   Very grateful.

• DeskJet 3845: Deskjet 3845

  Until yesterday, this printer worked fine, but I was running out of ink.   I changed my color & black cartridges (not cheap solution), but when you try to print, although the printer is now all the right moves and noises, the paper is not marked.   I tried to join the Forum in the usual way, but after the connection, I get: -.

  "The connection was reset".

  The connection to the server was reset while the page is loading.

  Just another point... I can not even access the Forum through the usual route.   As mentioned earlier, all I get after entering my name and my password is "the connection was reset".   However, I was able to get your message by clicking on the link in the email.

  So, thanks again!

• HP Deskjet 3845 - Windows 7

  Status: 'Basic' driver installed.

  Connection: USB

  Question: Does not print in color, regardless of the insertion of the new cartridge color and grayscale disabled.

  I tried the printer on another computer connected to the same network, and it prints in color very well. Process of elimination leads me to believe that Windows 7 is the problem, because there is no suitable player to go out again.

  However, I guess that the pilot "basis" should be enough for Windows 7 power print in color. Isn't it?

  Yes... I don't know about that one. I have noticed that I have already installed. Thank you, if.

  Edit: I solved the problem. I have uninstalled/re-installed the printer and color back. I should already have in a first time, haha.

• Paper on HP Deskjet 3845 jam is cleared, BUT

  I can't print anything.  I tried a full reset according to the instructions from HP, but my PC still reads a paper jam.   What should do?

  UNINSTALL AND REINSTALL THE PRINTER. AND RESTART WINDOWS BEFORE DOING THIS.  Windows can "lock in" an error in the memory of a device, which indicate a problem when there are more.

  After having re-installed the device, shut down windows to remove the error message from the devices memory space.
