• Cannot access Services to clean printer cartridges

  Hello

  I am trying to print pictures and the quality is appalling. Cartridges are not very old so before I go and spend more money I want to eliminate what is obvious.

  Trying to clean the printer heads by going into the properties-preferences-functions-printer Printing Services.

  However, I just get a dialogue box stating "cannot perform the operation.

  I reinstalled the driver and still nothing.

  I downloaded the base on the site of HP driver, used to have the version complete but got rid of it - like all the unnecessary extras.

  Do I need to install the full version in order to achieve this kind of maintenance? Surely not!

  Any help much appreciated.

  See you soon.

  Hello chris_on_tour20,

  Try the solution found here (basically, create a shortcut to the executable tool box):

• HP PSC 1315xi - clean print cartridge does not work, does nothing

  I have a HP PSC 1315xi All in One.  I have just stalled new ink cartridges.  I was able to line up, but I noticed on the impression that black was not feeling right.  I printed a test page by holding the Cancel button and pushing the color copy button to start.  Print out showed that there certainly is a problem with the black cartridge.  So I went in the Toolbox and I clicked to clean cartridges.  I clicked on Clean and nothing happened.  The printer did nothing and he didn't pop up or anything to show, there was a problem.  I waited 5 minutes and still nothing.  I'm on Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  Thank you.

  The application of the Toolbox cannot communicate with the printer. Try the following:

  (1) unplug the PC printer by unplugging the USB cable into the PC end.

  (2) turn off the printer and the PC.

  (3) wait 30 seconds and turn on the printer, then on PC.

  (4) when the PC is starting for office, connect the USB cable.

  Now, open the Toolbox printer and check if the option clean cartridge works.

  If this does not work:

  (1) you are able to check the Toolbox ink levels?

  (2) you see the digital imaging monitor icon in the box at the bottom right of the taskbar on your computer screen?

• How to remove, head clean print Photosmart C6380. 6515 Photosmart ink cartridge compatibility

  I had found information several months ago on how to remove and clean the print head, but I can't find it now.  I replaced the Photosmart C6380 with a 6515 Photosmart because when the 6380 stopped working I had to buy a large amount of ink and the 6515 used the same ink cartridge #.  However, the 6515 will not accept the cartridges with the error message they are an older generation.  I think that if the cartrides were not compatible, a number of different cartridge should be used.  So now, I want to try to solve the problem with the C6380 printhead, so I don't have to trash my entire ink supply.

  Here is a document on how to clean the contacts on the cartridges themselves.

  I think that the removal of the print head and of cleaning you're wanting is in this post here.

  Please note that soaking the print head should only be performed on the print heads that are out of warranty. Check that warranty end date to the printhead located by the contacts on the print head to make sure he went from warranty. The reason I put in custody which is a printhead soaking, a guarantee will be cancelled.

  What is the brand and model of your printer?

  There is no universal method in Windows to change ink or toner cartridges because the procedure varies by printer. To know what cartridges to use and how to change them, see the documentation that came with the printer.

• OfficeJet Pro 8500 first - how I can print without color cartridges?

  Despite a set up preferably default in 'Black and white' print only, to avoid misuse of color ink, color ink cartridges are running out constantly and then the printer will not print.  I have same need print in color, I just wanted to the all-in-one functionality.  Does anyone know how I can print just without color cartridges?  I'm happy to remove them and finish with color.  Help!

  Hello

  I'm afraid that cannot be done, as a device color-all-in-one color ink is required and used.

  You can use black ink only redce using ink and do not use it for printing, however the color cartridge will BE used during the maintnace of tasks such as cleaning the print head and of alignment.

  You can find more info on the use of ink that are explained in the section "some color ink may be used when printing graphics or black text" below:

• How to solve the Message "Incompatible print cartridge".

  Hello everyone

  Have you ever received the message "Incompatible print cartridge"? This may be caused by defective cartridges, dirty cartridge contacts, or by using the wrong cartridges for your printer or the region. If you get this message after moving to another country and using a different HP ink you will need to call HP support and ask them to explain how to change the region of your printer.

  If, however, you have not moved and you get this message with a new cartridge or current a little troubleshooting can be made. There is an article and the youtube video to help you to solve this problem, they are two excellent tools for troubleshooting. If the steps do not resolve your problem that make sure you try a different cartridge because it helps to isolate the problem to the printer or cartridge.

• How to disable the annoying message "Printer cartridges no HP installed" on Windows 7?

  How to disable the annoying message "Printer cartridges no HP installed" on Windows 7? I have a HP Officejet 6500 has more and there is a way to disable those annoying pop ups. First of all, why HP can't fix their software to display only 1 message. If I turn on my printer, I get about 5 popups when the 3-minute delay. Is - this embarrassing? You bet, I do not turn off my printer more to avoid these messages. There must be a registry entry that I can delete gladly. Ideas? If you are an employee of HP, please do not give the Conference on "genuine cartridges" and how you take care of your printer. I've had my printer for 7 years and never had a problem with cartridges not HP. They are all made in China.

  This isn't a bad idea, but this does not resolve the issue. There are many complaints from customers about these annoying messages. All HP needs to do is to say to their developers to add a function to disable this feature. What is a marketing thing? Yes, it's a boring marketing question that should really be fixed. It's like Windows display constantly that your device drivers are not fully tested. Of course, when a customer buys a product at a lower price, they take this risk. I hate to be notified 365 days a year that my cartridges are not authentic.

• OfficeJet Pro 8630: how to install additional color on the 8630 printer cartridges

  I just bought an Officejet Pro 8630 with additional color print cartridges.  I went through the instructions but I do not understand where they tell me to insert additional color cartridges.  I've looked everywhere but I still can't find where they need to be installed.  I installed the original color of 3 and 1 black cartridge supplied with the printer in the tray as shown, but when he got to the extra, I'm lost.  I can't find the instructions to install these additional color cartridges anywhere.

  Hello

  You cannot install additional color cartridges, the printer uses 4 ink cartridges (black, yellow, Magenta and Cyan).

  Additional color cartridges included in the box are intended for future use, once the original ink cartridges is exhausted.

  Kind regards

• Incompatible print cartridge error C309g.

  Incompatible print cartridge error C309g. When replacing foul 564 XL (black), now I get this message. The new cartridge works in another printer that uses 564 XL. Went ahead and tried another brand new 564 XL - same message. Have turned printer on and outside. Is there a way to reoot, clean or otherwise set the printer before assuming it's really broken? Other suggestions?

  UPDATE: this has been resolved with a hard reset. I found how to do this in another post (thanks bassergitz!). How to do a hard reset or 'dirty power up': when the printer is on, pull on the power cord to the printer and the wall. After 30 seconds reconnect power to the wall and printer. It will take several minutes to initialize.
