F4180 do not print in color (even if it does not print in color test page)
Whenever I try to print anything from a Web page or save the file, it only prints in black and white. I did the color test page (holding the button cancel and hit then start color copy), and the colors printed correctly.
I always see color/black and white of preferences and make sure the color is selected. It continues to print only in black and white so.
Welcome to the Forums of HP redwing634,
I read your message which indicates that the printer does not print in color from the computer, but it will print the color on the material test page. I can help you with this.
Try the following steps to see if it will solve the problem.
More troubleshooting when the self-test Page has no flaws.
Download and run the Print and Scan doctor. It will diagnose the problem and could solve it automatically.
Find and fix common printer problems using the HP for Windows diagnostic tools?
Try printing the paint to see if you have the same results. How to use Microsoft Paint.
If you are still not able to print in color, the pilot may have been damaged. I uninstall and reinstall the printer software.
Uninstalling the printer software.

If you need help, let me know.
Have a wonderful day!
Thank you.

Photosmart c309a will not print documents or test pages
I have uninstall and reinstall Full Version software, twice and I still can not print documents or test pages. I use the Photosmart C309a. Can you help me

Last updated, at 01:10, estimated the printer works now. I installed the new print head, and as a first step, I have no positive results. Then I tried the printer alignment... that did the trick. The printer works now.
Now, I wonder if it was the culprit with the old print head (alignment) maybe it's always good. I'll hold on, events, if necessary. Thanks for your help and mucho laurels.

F4280 in cannot print a "self-test" page
My HP Deskjet F4280 refuses to print anything. My computer is a HP G60 64 bit laptop. I can cue printing projects and what a transformation the printer starts flashing the led "CV". I went through each technique of "Troubleshooting" offered by HP, nothing helps. My F4280 don't even print a "Self-test" page in now the power button / stop and 'X' button simultaneously. It's a... mechanical software, or a combination. I'm PUZZLED !
Hey GinaKay,
Glad to hear this tip worked for you! Main thing you have to watch is the bag leaking, but it looks like you had a lot of success.
I'll keep this one in mind for the future.

Does not print files but print a good test page
Sequence of events: downloaded a PDF from a reliable source. Would not print, however. Spooler locked up. Used the online HP fixed the spooler problem diagnosis tool and finally a good test page printed. However, nothing else well print the printer runs a piece of paper through as if it is printing! The driver is up-to-date. Help!
OK, if you are printing to a HP LaserJet 1020, with the default driver of PDF from Adobe and it is locked.
Sorry, but I have more questions...
- Using the PCL6 or PS driver?
- Using the universal printer driver?
- Does it lock up when you print from other applications?
- What OS are you printing from? -Win 7 / XP / Mac / etc
Thank you

HP Deskjet D1530 print does not correctly but the test page is awesome
After using the printer has multiple pages, the following pdf, I tried to print print with less and less visible text and clear the text boxes that are visible are generally at the bottom half of the words. I printed the test page, but it comes out perfectly clear. I tried to print other documents, but they are all in print barely visible in the same way. Suggestions?
My bet would be a problem with your color cartrdige. (Some programs such as Adobe Reader can send data to the printer as color to make black). Print a page of diagnosis as described in this document or the check ink levels in your color cartridge.

OfficeJet Pro 8600 N911a is no longer prints except the test page or status report
The object printer worked fine until today when it stopped printing from my Macintosh computer. I am able to print very small application PAGES but message with any normal print job, I get the following messages:
The printer ready
Preparation print
Connected to the printer
Print page 1
(slight noise of printer)
100% full
The printer ready
In other words, she almost immediately jumps to 100% full when in reality it has not yet started printing. It then acts as if it was ready for an another print job saying printer ready.
DonovanH thanks for your help. The result is that now the printer works because of some experiments I did. I pass the steps you suggested and I still had the problem, but further experiments showed that the pages that would be printed not had a warning that they are associated with "character borders are not supported and were removed. I don't know why this document in particular has these problems, but I find that all documents without such warning prints fine except that they seem to often slower than expected. Any document with this warning indicates quickly as it's done 100% but it does not print.

Original title: can print test of control panel pages, but cannot print from applications (Word, WP) no error no message other than can not find printer.
Recently upgraded to SSD as boot drive. everything is working except cannot print from Word, WP or any application (Editor, etc.). Can print test pages to control panel on each installed printer, and do not appear. Try to print from Word he pauses and says "cannot find the printer." Tried reinstalling Word without solving the problem. I don't know that the problem is Windows 7 related, not printer hardware problem. Several times reinstalled printer that also does not resolve the issue. Any ideas? Anyone? Anyone?

DeskJet D2360: Deskjet 2360 - prints wrong colors, even if the test page seems well
In 10 (64-bit) Windows, Deskjet D2360 prints the well test page, but the colors aren't any application (documents, photos...). Cyan looks like dark blue. Green also appears dark blue. I just updated the drivers from the HP website, but the behavior remains the same.
The problem appeared after Windows 10 updates (January 2016 and later versions).
Print and Scan Doctor couldn't fix it. Help!
(Suggestion: If your printer prints the test page, why not propose an image file with what the test is supposed to look like.) This is useful especially to confirm colors. If I have a print test and see a few squares of color, how could I know if they are the correct colors?)
After a long period of frustration, I found the non-professional magic solution:
Print a test page with HP print and Scan doctor. Once the problem is resolved.

Does not print to the photo tray, but will display the test page
I have latest driver for Vista, but cannot print on the photo tray. It won't make the plateau, although it works fine when you print the test page. I tried different settings of page/paper and "photo tray" settings to turn on, but still not Vista print.
Tried to 8250 printer properties, change the paper settings, but cannot recognize the settings, even if she sees the book and the test page is printed. Seems to work with XP very well.
Connected to an XP machine, printed photo.
Reconnect the Vista, fooled with the parameters, and then it worked!
I don't know exactly what fixed...
