How to stop feeling ALWAYS of my C3180 all-in-One printer test page?

Whenever I have replace the black ink cartridge in my C3180 all-in-one printer, it prints a test page. Every time. Always.

It's boring, but also expensive ink is not cheap.

I have an iMac with OS X 10.6.8 'Snow Leopard '.

I have the latest software/drivers of HP printer.

I also searched all the software, to see if there are preferences and settings that I can change.

I realize that a test page should be printed after a new cartridgev is installed, and maybe when I need to test it. But not every freakin ' the printer is turned on. The cartridgte in there now is new and the ink is already weak, and what I am printing is barely readable. There's a pile of scrap paper next to the printer, all test sheets!

I apologize for the attitude, but at more than $20 a pop for the cartridges, it's cost me money that I can hardly afford.

Thank you!

Hello

Whenever you replace an ink cartridge cartridge he must be aligned.

Lack of any color will make the alignment to fail and so the printer will continue to try to complete alignment.

Compare the jessy printed with this example, it can happen if you ran out of color ink, etc.:

  • How to change language on HP Envy120 e-all in one printer?

    I configured my printer HP Envy 120 yesterday with my Mac pretty up to date. Somehow I have Portuguese on the printer screen.

    I read a few threads on this forum for example 'key press' 4 times on but of course, each section/instructions on the printer screen is in Portuguese that I don't understand so I was not able to find the language selection screen. Grateful for specific instructions on how to proceed.

    Since I posted, I found the video "what to do if unfair language on-screen" it helped me (or rather my wife) to return to English. A bit of a hassle but now OK.

    I was able to solve the problem by reading the comments of others and came across the solution.

    By turning on the printer press and hold keys # and 3 which resets the printer as a warm reboot. Hold the keys down until the main menu appears on the screen (it took awhile so be patient).

    Return to the Mac and remove and re-add the printer via system preferences > printer and faxes (-/ +). However, there is no need to restart the printer twice until it was added back successfully.

    Hello

    I have an HP C3180 all-in-One Printer/Scanner/Copier and I am trying to copy a legal-size sheet.  Is this possible.   When I bought the printer, I was told that I could, but I can't understand it.

    HELP please.

    Thank you

    Hello

    The dish of this printer supports only up to 8.5 x 11 (letter size). It does support legal size paper. Check the specs below:

    Legal scan/copy is possible only if the printer supports the automatic document feeder and printer C3180 is not.

    What happens if you unplug the printer from the computer and then restart the device?

    Also, try a hard reset after you disconnect the printer.

    Hard Reset:

    Take out the toner cartridges.

    Unplug the power cord from the printer and the wall

    Wait for 30 seconds

    Plug the power cord into the printer and the wall (be sure that the printer is plugged into the wall and not a surge protector)

    Replace the toners/cartridges in the printer

  • HP Deskjet 2540 all-in-one: printer stopped connecting to the wifi network

    Hi, my printer has suddenly stopped detecting my wireless network. When I turn on the printer, wireless blue light continues to blink and there is an exclamation point on the screen of the printer. I still have the same wifi network as before and have not changed it or its parameters. I have not physically moved the printer and the wireless works fine for all computers, iPads, and phones.

    I tried to uninstall and reinstall the HP Utility Set Up software but it couldn't detect the printer to set up.  I also tried running the diagnostic results, but all the results, said 'Not work', 'Not applicable' or 'None'. I can't even an IP address for my printer.

    My laptop can detect the printer if I turn on the wireless Direct button and I connect to this network on my laptop, but that's all. I'd rather connect the printer to the wifi so I can print from all my devices (phone, iPad etc.). The printer is less than 6 months and I do not understand what is the problem with him. Can you please specify?

    Hey @Sue1990,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I hope you enjoy your stay here.

    I understand that the all-in-one printer Deskjet 2540 does not connect to your wireless network. I can help you with that.

    To connect the printer to your network again you will need to run the USB cable from the printer to your computer Mac OS x 10.7. This makes the open Applications, Hewlett-Packard and inside this folder you will find a program with a similar name to the installation wizard. If you run this program, then you will find options to connect your printer to your wireless network.

    Please let me know how it works for you and let me know if you have any questions.

    Have a wonderful evening!

  • HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 1515: stop the test page printed for all-in-one printer, HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 1515

    How can I stop my HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 1515 all-in-One printer to print a test page everytime I STARTED printing?

    Hello JoshSimon ,

    Welcome to the HP Forums.

    I see that you have a problem with the printer printing before you print a test page.

    If you turn off the printer at the end of the day, please do not.  Turn the printer on/off will result in printing a test page.  If you are concerned about the printer lost power, and that's why you stop, the unit actually built in sleep/stand mode that will kick in when you are not using the printer.

    Once a print job is sent to the printer it then wake up and do the task at hand.

    In addition, make sure you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a bar/power strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer for example, but it is intended for HP products in general. Please click the link which explains the problems when connected to an uninterruptible power supply/Strip/surge protector power.

    If troubleshooting doesn't help not solve your problem, then I would say call the HP Technical Support to see all the other possibilities for you. If you call in North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, please click here: click here.

    See you soon,.
