First Photosmart C410: Ink series Photosmart Prem C410 leak

My printer is 5 years old, but so far it has been perfect - never had a problem with it!

Recently, I noticed there is ink in the printer and it seemed to come from the bottom. Further investigation revealed a bunch of ink which sank on the side right under where stop ink cartridges.

I don't know what is the cause, but it's a big mess in there and I don't know if it's interesting trying to clean up. (My fingers are already black cleaning of Office/below!)

I bought another printer but want to keep it too if I can. However, if it's too hard or too expensive so I am probably not worthwhile, especially given the age of the printer.

Here is a picture:

The area that show you is the 'service station' where little ink is "spit" to keep clear nozzles, usually before, during and after printing.  It is unusual for this area of filling and too full, there are a few things that may cause excess ink in the gas station:

  • With the help of an external power switch.  If the power is off (with a switch output or other external) then more ink is used at startup.  The printer must always be connected to a Plug and switch the printer only used to turn off the printer.
  • Running "cleaning cycles.  Manual cleaning cycles of the Toolbox Panel or printer are rarely necessary.  They use ink and should be avoided except when necessary (almost never).

You may be able to clean the area of station service as follows: remove the print head and set it aside.  Turn the printer off an area that won't have ink.  Use a plastic spoon to remove most of the ink in the service area, making sure not to disturb the wipers. Rinse the service area, warm soapy water would be good for this, maybe a low pressure hose.  Make sure not to get ink on thin coding tape (clear ~1/4"wide band that runs from the width of the printer).  Also avoid ink or too much water in the electronics.  After cleaning, dry the printer by dabbing gently with absorbent paper.  Let dry completely before plugging the printer back in and reinstall the printer print head.

    Our two portable Windows 10 both our Photosmart Prem C410 AiO printer are connected to the same network (as evidenced by checking the name of the network of all 3 devices).  We were able to connect between laptops and printer without problem (printing, scanning, etc.).  A blow, or laptop computer can "see" the printer.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer on two laptops, but when I enter the IP address of the printer as part of the installation process, I get the error message (on computers) "your printer is not found on your wireless network.  I used the wireless Wizard connect to the printer, restarted the wireless router and restart the two laptops... the IP of the printer stays the same every time and laptops and printers continue to be connected to the same network named.  Help

  • How to add or create a format of custom paper (200mmx300mm) for hp photosmart prem c310a or 7960 series

    How should I do to add or create a format of custom paper in the list of paper sizes.

    I need to add a 200mmx300mm without borders

    I have two printers Photosmart prem c310a Photosmart 7960 and neither show the size of paper.

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit

    I have the HP Toucjhsmart PC 520

    Found the solution below listed on another thread...

    Thank you 007OHMSS

    The printer driver allows a custom like this size, if so how to do it:

    Click Print (in whatever program you use), the print dialog screen should appear. Make sure that the selected printer is the 7000 (in my case the c310a). Click Properties, click the features tab, in the size field, click down, select custom. Then put in the size you want.

    Like I said, it's only if the installed printer driver supports this feature. Hope that helps.

  • Poor print quality on Macbook Pro (Lion 10.7.1) for HP Photosmart Prem C310

    I have a Photosmart Prem C310a connected wireless to an Apple Airport Extreme.  I am trying to print photos from Picasa.  In Picasa, I choose the C310 as printer and set it for 1200 dpi quality.  When I print images are pixelated and very bad quality.  I find anywhere where I can set or change the print quality, as you can do in Windows.  I know the printer is good because I perform the same operation with my Windows 7 laptop and photos very good print quality.  What is the problem with OS X Lion 10.7.1 and the C310?  It did not used to do this, but since the update to Lion quality is shit.  Help, please

    First of all, download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907

  • Series HP Photosmart Prem C410 - connection problems

    I have a printer HP Photosmart C410 series connected via a wireless network to a Sony Viao laptop.

    I have regular problems connecting the printer to the PC - I think it started when I updated the PC operating system to Windows (from Windows 8) 8.1 (I think) about six months ago.

    Sometimes, the printer works fine. But often it is not. It shows the printer as offline, even if it is on, with the wireless light illuminated. Sometimes, if I reboot the system, it will not work then. But it can take several attempts and is not reliable.

    Sometimes, when I go to see what's printing, there is a check mark next to use printer offline. If I remove this tick, documents are printed sometimes then. But sometimes they are not. I can't work out how to set the printer online when everything is apparently turned on and connected. Often when I go to print a document, a window pops up saying: the printer is offline. Sometimes the document print in any case. Sometimes it doesn't.

    The scanner function works fine, so I don't think it's as simple as the connection works do not at all. I regularly scan documents and have no problem with that.

    I installed HP Print and Scan doctor. Whenever I try to use it, it tells me I have to install the software. I try to install the software, but it doesn't seem to help - and he wants to download the same software next time.

    I am extremely frustrated with this situation. I have a relatively new and high-quality printer and a laptop and yet cannot rely on the ability to print things quickly. I searched in the online forums and tried various suggestions here but without success.

    I tried to uninstall all previously installing the printer and reinstall it, but that did not help.

    Your help will be greatly appreciated!

  • HP PhotoSmart Prem 310 Series: Installation on PC Windows 8.1 HP solutions Center

    My printer is a model 310 that I bought in 2011.  The DVD accompanying installation supports Windows XP, Vista and 7.  The version number of the DVD is 14.4.0 and I used it to try and install "HP Solution Center" on my new PC for Windows 8.1.  What I get is a picture of a building with a few plants in a pot by the door and and a sign in front of the building that says "close this application".  On the left are the words "select install to begin the installation of your new HP device."  The problem would then be is that there is no click a button "install".  The only button I can click is 'out' and it then closes the installation.  I think I need a Setup DVD update sent to me or instructions on where I can download the installation of HP for Windows 8.1 solutions Center.  I don't have a problem with printing because my PC, the printer has detected and installed the drivers from printert.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Ed,

    Of you can still have problems, download and install the software from the following link:

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/softlib/software13/COL59888/MP-143684-1/PS_AIO_07_C310_FSW_Full_Win_WW_140_408-4.exe

    Before installing the drivers do not forget to open the control panel > devices and printers.

    Right-click any existing C310 icon, and then select Remove an instrument.

    Once that icon removed turn the printer off, only turn on once the installation request to connect.

    Kind regards
