DeskJet 6940: windows 10

Windows 10 - I changed my 6940 Deskjet and Officejet 4500 no longer print in color.  Advice would be MOST appreciated!

Two slightly used and neocolonial, printers have never had a problem.

Hello @judykayt,

It is a great place to get help! I read your post and to see that since the upgrade to Windows 10, two printers will not print in color. I want to help you solve this problem.

If you does not completely uninstall the driver and reinstall it, I would suggest starting there first. Here is the document to install the latest Windows 10 drivers for the Deskjet 6940: install and use the built-in print driver Windows.

Here is the link for the Officejet 4500 drivers and software: OJ_AIO_4500_G510n-z_Full_Win_WW_140_408 - 5.exe

If you're still having problems, try the steps outlined in this document for the missing colors: absent, Faded or dull colors. Let me know the results of the diagnostic page.

Please click the 'Thumbs Up' to thank me for my efforts! If this helps you resolve the problem you are experiencing, please click the "accept as Solution. Keep me posted. Good luck!

  • HP deskjet 6940 driver windows 7

    I have a job perfectly HP DeskJet 6940 but my SSD has failed and I need to reinstall the drivers for win 7 64 bit.  A year ago, they were still in line with instructions for installation.  Now the only driver is for a USB printer.  I don't remember how I connected the printer about a year ago.  Driver win 7 will work?  I have just to connect the ehternet cable and pray?

    Kind regards

    Ellen

    Hi Ellen

    First connect the printer to your network using an Ethernet cable.

    Then, enter devices and printers and click the Add Printer button.

    Select network connected printer and follow the steps in selecting the printer listed. the drivers are already included in the operating system and should install automatically once the Wizard completed.

    Kind regards

  • Why is my Deskjet 6940 printing mirror image?

    Printing on my Deskjet 6940 is very clear and concise, but in mirror image, you should stick to the light and read the other side. What I am doing wrong? Maljal76

    What operating system? In Windows 7 there is a checkbox in the tab 'Complete' for 'Mirror Image', make sure that you uncheck this box.  I would expect similar options in the other drivers.

  • quality of mediocre photo with Deskjet 6940

    My Deskjet 6940 has never been a regular BW printing problems, but I can't produce a decent photo. Impressions are systematically too dark with contrast exaggerated, grainy and often striped. I have a new photo cartridge that tests OK, adequate level in the color cartridge. I use Canon (weight 45) glossy photo paper. I can't find the Technologies of life real (?) anywhere on any screen. If I print using HP Photosmart printing or iPhoto problems persist.

    I have an iMac, OS 10.4.11, wireless to the printer, which is Ethernetted to my router. I use Easy Install software (from original disc) now, having struggled to get the OS X software install when I started from zero yesterday. Would it be useful to download the Mac OS software of 2007 on the site of HP? I can't distinguish the differences between 3 downloads of software available for Mac/6940.

    And the strangest thing: there are a few nights after several tries, I managed to print a few impressions absolutely perfect, wonderful!  The next morning, I could not and have not been able since to understand what I could do right.

    Thanks for your suggestions, answers.

    Bob, I guess I have to give up. Yes, the photo with the vertical stripes was in landscape mode. Changing the color cartridge to get rid of it, but now the printer seems to want to print just part of the picture, and that the part is not so great. I printed a test page when it started and I had an e-mail response to a query by using HP, but after 2 exchanges with "Eleanor" I heard nothing more; She asked me to print the test page and give the results of some lines by e-mail. I must have scared it by responding effectively as requested.

    I have so many variables to deal with printing - with the Finder, with iPhoto, with HP Photosmart, as I just can't play around with this any longer. I blown off50 photo paper pages (and bought another pack of another type that will now go unused) more new cartridges for photo and color (and my first photo cartridge was defective, so I had to return it to the store and I Exchange). And I still just 2 impressions nice to show it all.

    So phooey! I really appreciate your help, though - you get Kudos for trying! I think I'll see if anyone on the Mac forums has some ideas, but I'm about to burn a disc and go to the Pharmacy!

    Thanks again!

  • DeskJet 6940: ethernet connection between the new modem and printer does not transmit Mac

    I just installed a new modem to Qwest; It works wirelessly with my iMac 10.11. My old (but functional until yesterday) Deskjet 6940 is connected to the modem via Ethernet. When I try to print, the document seems to be transmitted to the printer, but then it hangs on and I get the message "the printer is not connected" - which it is, plugged, ethernetted, and set in motion. Support of Qwest says that only 10% of the info from the computer are the printer, but he seems to think that the part of the new modem Ethernet is functional,

    I have already tried all unplug/restart/send/add printer new check/updates / IP (cannot connect) / ethernet ports and cables, etc.

    Any other ideas?

    Thank you!

    Hi @newgranny,

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    It is good that the printer has been able to print a diagnostic page.

    Ensure that the router and firewall on the market do not block these ports.

    Ports of printing:

    • UDP ports: 427, 137, 161
    • TCP port: 9100

    Card photo upload:

    • UDP ports: 137, 138, 427
    • TCP port: 139

    The HP device status:

    • UDP port: 161

    Ports of Web Services:

    • UDP and TCP: 80, 443, 5222 and 5223

    Hello Ports:

    • TCP and UDP: 5353 and 5297, 5298

    Unplug the wired network (ethernet cable), restore the default values on the printer.

    Restore the default settings.

    Follow these steps to reset the printer to factory default settings:

    1. check that the printer is on.

    2. press and hold down the button to report Page.

    3 while holding down three times the homepage button, press the Cancel button.

    4. release the report Page button.

    • Restart the printer.
    • Connect the ethernet cable.
    • What were the results?

    If the problem persists, try the USB connection.

    Please reply to this message with the results. Good luck!

  • printer Deskjet 6940

    My office uses a printer deskjet 6940 and we are all networked to her. I started having problems with my printer, so I went to HP and downloaded a diagnostic tool and it fixed my problem immediately. When I ran the same diagnosis on everyone elses computer my colleagues have connectivity problems and I would like to know if I need to update the drivers or if there is a network problem. Any input would be appreciated.

    Updated drivers are usually a good thing.  Download the latest version of the software for your printer from the "Support & drivers" link at the top of this page.

  • DeskJet 6940 connected via ethernet to the airport cable, do not print

    Hello

    I used to run my HP Deskjet 6940 printer using a USB connection. I recently installed an Apple Airport Extreme so I can print wireless. If necessary, the printer is connected to the airport by using an ethernet cable and turned on the light green network. On the advice of a HP rep by phone, I uninstalled all old HP software and reinstalled HP software downloaded from the HP website.

    When I try to add the printer to my 'system preferences', it opens a panel that contains the following options:

    Protocol: Automatically selects "line printer daemon - LPD.

    Address: Empty but allows me to type in the IP address assigned

    Print using: no idea.

    More than two things: when I open the HP Device Manager and select "set up a network, information network configuration printer seems in good condition but the Manager does not allow me to 'apply'.  Not sure if this is important but no the printer utilities appear in my folder utlities since the new software download. Thank you.

    Looks like you are using a Mac.

    First of all, the driver for the Deskjet 6940 is built into Mac OS.  You really didn't need to download additional www.hp.com (sorry for the bad advice) stuff.

    Next, we'll check that the printer is on the network.  In Safari, select bookmarks, display all bookmarks.  Select Hello in the left pane, and then check the Deskjet 6940 appears on the list of devices on your network.

    Then, follow these instructions to reset the print Mac subsystem: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341

    Now add the printer to the Print & Fax under System Preferences applet by pressing the [+] button.  The Deskjet 6940 should be among the kind Hello from printers.  Select it and press Add.

    I think that should do it.

    HI oldtoot,

    You should be able to print with just the black cartridge installed.

    I looked at the page Web of LAN of the printer and the Win 7 64 bit print test page and none of them give me an e-mail that I can use to implement.

    sureshotnj,

    With this particular Deskjet, you won't have to add it. The application will automatically search and find all capable printers.

    You can select the Photos section, select a photo, and then see if your printer is auto-découvert on the bottom in the center of the application when you view your selected photo.
