  • LaserJet Professional P 1102w printer green light blinking, but will not be printed

    I had my P of professional LaserJet 1102w for a little less than a year.  I use it very rarely and very slightly (I've probably printed total less than 25 pages).  It has always worked well.

    But in the last 2 weeks, it stopped printing.  The Green led comes on, but it will not be printed.

    I went through the troubleshooting diagnostic tests on my computer (HP Pavilion, Windows 7 operating system).  The result shows that my computer detects a problem, but it cannot identify it (for example, no paper jam, no toner, etc..).  I manually checked it for a paper jam too.  I have not seen any problems.  I turned off, unplugged, he turned his back.  She still does not print.  And now the green light blinks, even if I turn it off several hours ago.

    Help, please.  Thank you.

    Update: I realized what it was.  My USB cable was very slightly loose.  I don't see when I checked manually the printer the first time.  But I checked a second time and just pushed him tighter.  Problem solved.

    I use AT & T and have the Torch 9850.

    Any suggestions on how to get this restart or do I have a lemon for Christmas?

    1. remove the battery

    2 - Set your phone on the charger with the battery removed

    3 reinsert the battery

    bottom white-4 with a clock as the picture shows (not a problem)... after a while, that he will be gone and you can reuse your blackberry

    5 - let it get completely reloaded

    hope that it works because my friend had the same problem after that the battery has been completely drained!

  • HP Laserjet 1018: Printer light blinks 15 times but does not print

    I have 2 printers, my work horse HP laser jet and a Brother Multi printer/scanner/fax etc. Both printers work correctly when connected (usb to LJ1018 connection) or wireless (Brother MFC) to my notebook running windows 7 lite.

    My desktop HP compaq core 2 duo machine is connected to two printers with the help of a brother network cable and a usb cable for the LJ1018 but I decided to connect the brother wireless to my network, because it allowed me to use my netbook without having to plug in a usb or network cable. I also created my office to connect wireless to the brother and it works fine, but now I find that I can not use the LJ1018 that I think only has a usb cable connection. Although the computer says the printer is connected it is flashing the light several times - about 15 but does not print anything. I tried to reinstall the USB driver but this makes no difference. One thought I have is that Windows XP cannot deal with a wireless connection, but also a connection usb, if yes can I have go back to wired connections?

    Hi @petec48,

  • printer is offline but but does not print completely baffled!

    Completely stumped with this. I have a brother MFP990 all in a station. It is connected wireless to my network. I have a laptop computer connected wireless network and it prints fine. My desktop computer, but does not print even if it seems to recognize that it is there. The printer is communicating with my computer and let me know the ink level is low. My scanner works perfectly and scans the computer, no problem. But whenever I try to print, the computer tells me that the printer is offline. I tried to disable Norton firewall, no difference. I tried to uninstall the software, and oddly enough, during the uninstall process, an exceptional print request was printed! When I reinstalled, same problem. Any ideas?

  • Re: Deskjet 3070 - replaced the cartridges but does not now print!

    I have the same problem with my printer Officejet 6700 Premium. I just replaced all the cartridges with HP new ones. The printer is now going through the motions but does not print blank pages. This happens for all what I am trying to print including Diagnostics pages. The printer is a little older a year is not under warranty. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello twoshirts,

    I saw your other threads, and I understand that you have completed all the procedures listed here troubleshooting: printer does not print black ink or color of ink or prints blank Pages without success.

    I would like you to follow the steps below:

    1. reset of the printer, please make sure that you plug the printer directly into the wall, do not use a surge protector or power bar, they can cause the printer is in an error state and lose features of base over time.

    2 a 'cartridge problem', "Ink cartridge failed" or not "compatible ink cartridges" Error Message appears on the all-in-one, I know you did the cleaning steps, but, if you please, reinstall the cartridges and perform all THE steps listed

    3. now go ahead and run HP print and Scan Doctor- it has been designed to provide users with HP and features troubleshooting fix needed to solve many common problems experienced with HP print and scan the products related to Windows computers.

    I understand that you are not able to print diagnostics from the menu on the front panel as well, but want to see if the PSDR detects all conflicts in the software or drivers.

    Please let me know the results.

    Thank you

    Software for printer C410 starts but does not load.  Using Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 on a Pavilion HPE-140f. Click on install and the process starts, goes in all the scans and the two notations. When I click on load it just goes dead and will not charge.

  • 8600 visible on the network, but does not print wireless

    I can see the 8600 on my airport network, but does not display the work sent wireless (no error msg, stay in the queue). To print correctly if the USB cable is connected. Also see a separate network of 8600, but do not have a WEP key for it and don't see how to create one, so it won't let me join this network. Don't see any info on this in your pages and support forums.

    It was a very good question. I looked at my list of printer and there are 2 8600 s that are listed.  I think we could be active when the printer is connected via the cable and one for when it is wireless. I went by default and had no trouble in a wireless printing sheet.  It is probably a mistake on my part of the user, but I don't remember adding a second printer in the menu printing. I'll play around with it and remove an if it is not necessary. Thanks for your help.

    1 downloaded the HP website OJJ6400_Full_13 and I tried to add an another J6480 but he says that there is already one installed in a wireless port. I didn't go ahead because the printer does not print not good. Should I continue with the installation?

    I uninstalled the J4680 printer and all HP programs associate. Start - all programs showed no HP at all. I installed the full version of HP J4680 programs and everything works fine. The wireless connection was automatically created during the installation and the scan works very well.

  • 15-p151nr Pavilion: Pavilion 15-p151nr dead, power supply LED flashes 3 times but does not start

    With or without the adapter is connected to the computer (well known socket), the computer will not turn on.  The LED located on the left side of the computer where the socket is attached blinks 3 times (white), but does not supply power to the top.  Another post I saw said "continuous" flashing would be the power adapter, but wanted to ensure that it is in fact the problem before buying a new...  Any help would be great!

    I understand that the computer will not turn on. However, when you connect the AC adapter of the power port light flashes 3 times.  Please check that the power cord is not one of the recall. HP laptop AC Power Cord Safety retirement program and replacement announced August 26, 2014 .  You use a power bar?  Have you tried a different outlet? Here is a link to the HP laptops - tests and using the AC adapter which can also help.

  • Document scanning on HP DeskJet 4180 but does not OCR

    HP DeskJet 4180 9.0 OCR software with HP (IRIS) scans the document, but does not OCR. I have the gray value default values and sends the output of Wordpad. I tried everything suggested that HP and reinstalled software twice. What Miss me?

    With the help of Windows Vista (32-bit) on a HP Pavilion desktop computer. No error message. No text appears in Wordpad.

    Thank you.

    The scanner does excellent analysis of images. The options that he has had were paint, printer, E-mail, Photoimpression 4, HP Photosmart Essential 2.01, copy to the Clipboard, Wordpad and save to file. I tried to copy to the Clipboard, Wordpad and save a file without success.

    I have now acquired Readiris Pro 11 and that solved the problem. I can now deal with OCR on a text image scanned with the results that I want... to editable text.

    Thanks for trying. I don't know what was wrong with the original OEM software, but the problem is now resolved.
