• DeskJet 5550 cartridge status light flashing problem

  I have a Deskjet 5550. The power led is on and the print cartridge status light is FLASHING. Immediately before that, the prints have a lot of black and color.

  I opened and closed the plate on the cartridges.

  I took on each of the two cartridges and put back them in.

  I have looked for "the yellow arrow and icons", but can not find them.

  I turned the printer on and outside.

  I turned off the computer (Compac Presario CG60 - 206US Notebook PC) and rebooted.

  Help! Please, I beg you! Thank you!!!

  Hi mmdb1,

  I understand that the cartridges are not cheap, but to help isolate the problem, try another set of cartridges. If you install a new set and the problem is resolved, you can then contact our technical support line for the replaced defective cartridges.

• Find the color temperature of light source with neutral card

  Hi all;

  I have an adjustable color LED strip that I would get as close as possible to 6700 Kelvin. I hope that I can take pictures of a neutral light card and set the LED color based on temperature/RGB values, I get Lightroom (5.7.1).  Is this possible? If anyone can help with the workflow on how to do it?

  Thank you very much

  I was afraid of that. The numbers only make sense for a radiator of black body like a tungsten light bulb or the Sun, which is a broadband light source. CFLs are generally pretty well made using a series of Phosphors of rare earths that are tuned to human vision and with emissions enough broadband. If you use several sources of monochromatic light as single color LEDs you could not get good numbers. It really depends on the wavelengths of light coming out of the LED. If the color on your camera filters are not the same wavelength of the LED and the sensitivity of three colors of the sensor of the camera is not the same as your eyes, you can get to a situation where your eye perceives neutral colors while the camera sees something completely not neutral. This is from your two raw files. Your illuminated LED Gray card probably looked to the eye, but to the camera, it looked purple. This effect is called Metameric failure and is common if the spectrum of light is very "spicy". This is probably what is happening in your case. You have certainly three narrow band LEDs that you mix. You are really unable to apply the model of the black body of "color temperature" unique to it and then you get strange results you observe. There are index to record high in special colours of the LEDs, which have much wider spectrum light show who have far fewer problems with Metameric failure and that should work for this purpose well.

• HP 6940 power, resume, right cartridge lights flashing continuously

  I found my 6940 HP with power, which takes up and fires right cartridge like crazy. I did everything that I could Google to try to resolve the problem, several times in the course:

  • Power cycle, including remove the power cable from the plug
  • factory reset (report, press Cancel x 3
  • Remove/replace cartridges
  • move the rear cart & more
  • start without installed black cartridge
  • start without installed color cartridge
  • start without any cartridges installed
  • Check and check for paper jams (he was never that I can tell)

  In each case, my method was.

  • Remove the power plug from the back, wait 15 seconds to replace.
  • Try something from the above list

  In each case, the printer works fine for a few minutes. It's the ping requests, it is accessible via the integrated web page and a test page can be the printer. In each case, after a few minutes, the lights flash, and the printer is no longer pings or via the web page. When the lid is raised, the bar that prevents the cartridges come off, is stuck in the up position (preventing removal).

  I'm afraid that the thing bought the farm, but I've always been happy with it and will not replace it (all they seem to do today are these monstrosities multi-function) if there's a chance someone knows something that can fix.

• Cartridges lights flash on full cartridges

  My officejet pro K8600dn shows lights flashing on the printer cartridges, while the cartridges are full. Putting the printer turned off and didn't help. When I do a very strong push on the cartridges, that the lamps are going out and I can print. Then the lights flashing again. By the way: I only use original HP cartridges.  My desktop computer HP Pavilion and OS Windows 7 pro 64 x, has already the latest version of the software and the driver, but it does not solve the problem.

  Using authentic HP inks? I would clean the contacts on the cartridges to make sure the accumulation of ink was not causing and delivered with the printer being able to read that the cartridges are inserted correctly. If after manual cleaning, you still have a problem, I would like to do a hard reset of the printer. A hard reset will attempt to restore the printer to a known working condition and no user parameters are lost with a hard reset. First of all, start by cleaning, I know the model presented is not the same, but the cleaning cartridge is what one wants to follow.  To do this:

  1. Open the cartridge door.

• HP Envy 5530: HP Envy 5530 told to replace the color cartridge, even after replacing with a new one.

  HP Envy 5530 said to replace the color cartridge, even after replacing with a new one.  Printer is 1 year old and I replaced the cartridges several times over the past year.  I am enrolled in the program of HP ink.  I can run the printer mode single cartridge using a black ink only and it works with my pc XP, Ipad, Chrome pc and mobile phone.  My pc win 8.1 will not print anything other than a test page.  Printer on the pc file lists always attention required when you try to print from the pc win 8.1.  I believe that the problem may be related to surface of cartridge for printing inside the HP envy heads 5530.  This part is available for purchase, and if so, where?

  I found a work around.  On the pc win 8.1, it seems that the print request must see a reset of the HP envy 5530 to print mode single cartridge.  I just start the pc and then reset the printer by lifting the hatch for the print heads.  That's all.  Once this is done, the 'attention required' message goes to the loan and it is able to print.  It will open a window, which suggests you add the color cartridge, but it will disappear when printing.  Simply open the door once and you can print until you turn off the pc.

• my printer tells me to check my ink (color cartridge) but Istill get the same disorder. When Iput returns continuous blinking light.

  my printer in a single hppsc1610all, keeps telling me to check my color cartridge, so I remove and reseating it still continue to do the same. I USE A NEW BASKET. THIS CAN BE CORRECTED? OR DO iBUY a NEW PRINTER? AND IF SO BUY A WIRELESS NETWORK?

  Contact HP for help with this, as it is a hardware problem with the printer. It is not a problem of Windows, or Microsoft.

• Photosmart C310: What models allow a black-and-white printing with low color cartridge?

  I'm looking to replace my old HP Photosmart Premium all-in-One printer, because it works with reliability more. My biggest problems with this model are:
  1.)
  I can't print in black and white when one or more of the color cartridges must be replaced
  2.)
  The black ink cartridges work only sporadically. I lost a lot of money on the black ink cartridges that do not work, and I tried all the techniques of troubleshooting many times and no solution.
  3.)
  I hate having to spend $100 + to replace the cartridges. It's such a scam!

  I have teenagers who need the ability to print the homework on a very regular basis and in a timely. I can't spend another frantic morning, trying to get a printer (with new cartridges) to print!

  I hope someone with a knowledge of the range of HP products can explain different types of all-in-one printers available to me... and which would be best suited to my needs. Ideally, I'd like to find one that allows to print in black and white ONLY when the color cartridges are low or exhausted - if there is such a thing?

  Thanks in advance for any info, tips or advice anyone could offer!

  Hi @katvit74,

  While I don't have any specific purchasing advice @katvit74, I can offer a few troubleshooting tips to see whether your printer is at the end of his life.

  You're not the first to express frustration at having to have impoverished the cartridges replaced to continue printing. Personally, I suggest to use grayscale options, when printing so that the colored inks not so quickly adjust upward. Frankly, after reading your post again, I feel that you don't have want to solve your Photosmart Premium.

  I value your time and do not want you to feel like I don't have. That being said, we will encircle your initial request. Maybe you would rather a system printer for 2 ink that the cartridge supports single mode, or maybe a Laserjet that prints black only. The printer you choose should be based on your needs. According to me, the best way I can help is to offer you the tool product Advisor.

  Tool advice product is designed to target the product most suitable for your particular needs. Please answer all questions to give us the most complete picture of your needs - more information you provide, the more efficiently, we can recommend.

• HP 5530: Black-and-white printing with no color cartridge

  Two questions please.

  (1) this printer print black and white if the color cartridge is empty or not placed on printer at all.

  (2) I have been using HP 61 XL.  Is HP 61 the same quality as HP XL 61

  Thank you.

  Hey @Kathiebronx,

  I see that you have questions about the desire 5530 e - all - in - one printer. I can answer those for you.

  (1) the 5530 envy has a system of two cartridges so it will print with a black cartridge in the printer.

  (2) 61 and 61XL cartridges are both HP cartridges. The printer must be able to print with the same quality that you were using a regular cartridge or a cartridge XL.

  I hope this helps to answer your questions and I hope you have a great week!

• DeskJet 940c: 940c cartridge light flashing

  I just print something yesterday and nothing happens (having previously printed a page). Looked at printer - cartridge light flashing. Used HP printer doctor, open lid and transport moved to tricolor cartridge so resumed there and in. No difference. Then taken and in the black print cartridge and carraiage moved to here! Repeated several times to no effect. Never had this problem before and I have no cartridge spare at the moment. I'm stuck for a solution!

  Thank you

  Hello

  For some unknown reason, it started working again after just checked to make sure that the USB cable is firmly connected the printer (it is).

  On the surge protector, I have always used an and reven didn't think that (not that I have now but I'll keep in mind of course). I used the guide you mentioned to troubleshoot not that it helped when I used the guide before it started working again after checking the USB connection. I intend to buy a new printer I've had this one since 2002 about, so I was not eager to buy new cartridges that might not even work. I have two in one I have a flat bed scanner and I like the look of the printer HP OfficeJet 8100.

  Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it.
