• J4580 print cartridge problem: [Tri-Color] refer to the device Documentation

  Well, I'm starting to feel like I knew better, buy another HP printer after dismal luck with two all-in-one before.

  My J4580 already gives me headaches after only 6 or more months of use.

  The unit refuses to print, declaring "print cartridge problem: [Tri-Color] refer to device Documentation to troubleshoot."  Nothing in the help documentation.  The Habs is always 90% full.  Sometimes pulling the Habs and placing back in crazy wil it restarting.  When it restarts, it prints perfectly.

  I tried the ubiquitous "clean the contacts" and other instructions help generic that I saw, but those who were without help.  The "Solution Center (Yes, good)" appears and all ithas is a link to buy more ink (!).

  Someone has an idea?  I'm about to throw it through the window of stores office, given that I can't throw it out the window of HP.

  Thank you!

  Yes * I know * and I'm sorry that I forgot to come back here.  I had a major system crash and I had to reinstall a lot of drivers for my multimedia player, GPS, and printer (!).  As this occurs, the device did not return this error - touch wood.

• HP LaserJet 100 colorMFP M175n: PROBLEMS of PRINTING COLOR

  Help please

  Hi @john9745 ,

  I see that you are having problems printing in color. You get a trail of color on the page. I'd love to help you.

  I have provided a document to run a cleaning, calibration, and printing reports to determine which toner is causing this issue. Solving print quality problems.

  How is the printer connected? (USB, Ethernet, WiFi)

  You use Genuine HP Toner?
  What are the levels of toner?

  What were the results of the Diagnostics page and the page of print quality?

  You can attach a sample of the pages if you wish.

  If there is anything else I can help you, let me know.

  Good day!
  Thank you.

• C5180 home networking problem

  Printer:  HP Photosmart C5180 all-in-one

  OS:        Windows 7 Ultimate

  History:  Had DSL and installed the printer without problems using the IP printer and WIN7 Installer.

  Passed to FIOS and received a new router wireless and new ips for everything.  A laptop is connected to the printer via the port USB... works very well.  The other laptop I tried to connect to the printer via the network (wireless and inflexible to the router) without success.

  Wrestling:  When I had DSL, the screen of the printer worked fine. UH... then, for some reason, uh, it stop working.  I'm no expert, but there was this time when some paper stuck internally and I disassembled the top and rear it ever-so-carefully. However, during reassembly, the top fell back and pulled out a few ribbon cable... maybe those two things are correlated... in any case, I did retrieve the jammed paper.

  Gaps:  I can't figure out how to discover the new ip of the printer, and ""Add a printer"in Windows 7 will not conclude it on the network (the printer displays networking lights: green and orange flashing at random)"

  Any help is help.

  PS I know where I can get a replacement ribbon cable?

  Okay, either HP and the border do not mix with the ethernet or the HP some how broken when the guys from Frontier moved my netgear ethernet cord to their router/modem...  I give up... bought a new printer.

  Thanks for the 411.

• My 6100 printer has never been able to print colors

  1 day he told me that the Blue cartridge (cyan) is empty, even when I replaced the cartridge with a new one, and he always says that the other colors are 'weak '. I've been printing the words black and white on a page, in fast draft mode, but the only time wherever I tried to print colors, she doesn't--a yellow cuff came out white, no colour at all.  He said always cyan is empty.  Now it will not print black and white at all. Am I supposed to spend $50 + new cartridges whenever I need to print something?

  Also, is there a Ribbon of cellophane that I need to take it off inside the printer?  I see a coating cellophance on transport of the cartridge in the printer, but there is nothing in the manual that says to remove it.

  Unable to print color seems a flaw for me.  Can I make a return?  I bought it two weeks ago.

  Hi CMBoston,

  I understand that you were not able to print anything in color, and you see a piece of Ribbon of cellophane inside. I want to help you with this.

  Please use the following document to solve the quality problem, you meet; Troubleshooting print quality problems.

  The strip inside the printer should be removed if the installation guide you requested otherwise, it is part of the internal mechanics.

  I'm not sure of the return policy where you bought the printer so I can not answer or not you can return the printer, but I can say that HP printers have a 1 year manufacturing warranty. If you're still having problems after following the steps outlined in the document, call HP. The number of call HP is 1-800-474-6836 for the Canada and the United States, or you can Contact HP worldwide.

  I hope that this information solves your request.

• turn off the photosmart print color 6525

  I use a Mac with OS X V.10.9.4 and have a PhotoSmart 6525. I can't seem to disable printing color for all documents, even when I select ' print black & white ' or ' grayscale print ' in the reference of the printer. It prints colors perfectly, but sometimes I want to just grey quick docs. I tried the HP utility, but could not find the opportunity to let me choose whether to print in color or black & white. I still want the parser must be able to scan in color, but the option for printing.

  Anyone know how to solve this apparently simple problem that me completely baffled?

  Thank you!

  @diananmig

  AirPrint driver will allow you to choose the option to print in "black and white".

  

• HP Deskjet 2540 All In One: Unable to print color?

  I have a Deskjet 2540 brand new all-in-One. Printer is delivered without any instruction manual. How to print color? I hit 'print' of my document and it comes out in black and white. When I type on the printer, the 'color' button, it draws just a piece of paper through the unit and nothing is displayed at all. I do not understand this crazy thing. My old printer didn't need me to tell it to print color or black and white, that he knew what was coming through the system. I'm about to make this thing.

  Thanks, actually it would print test print color, just not when I tried to get a print document in color. new printer, new cartridges. Change my selection of the printer of HP Deskjet 2540 2540 Deskjet series just seemed to settle, I don't know why. I just mention it here in case other Mac users have the same problem.

  Hello z8,

  Welcome to the HP Forums.

  I see you have some print quality problems when trying to print photos.

  I have a few steps we can try to solve this problem.

  First of all, please make sure that 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.

  The document that I add will address many different steps of troubleshooting on colors wrong.  On the bottom of the page, you will see a link to additional troubleshooting necessary follow-up.

  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.

  Thanks for your time.

• OfficeJet pro 8000: does not print color Cyan

  I have printed about 20 photos and color was great. All of a sudden the color gone wrong. Printed a test page and black, yellow and Magenta were perfect, but lacked the Cyan completely. All the ink levels were 50% or better, Cyan was 80%. Printhead status was listed as 'good '. All HP cartridges. There is problem when printing on Kodak Easy Share, later tried on Photoshop and Microsoft Word with the same results. Help would be very appreciated.

  Hello @roger232 , welcome to the forums!

  I read your post on "Print quality" issues you have experienced with your Officejet 8000, and I wanted to answer you with my suggestions.

  I would recommend troubleshooting using the guide I posted for you below. Cartridges seemed its OK for me personally however, the problem may be with the printhead (s), and it is still possible with a good read to them (as you mentioned). Give a procedure and if the problem persists, call us directly to discuss your printing with HP options. I'll leave details below as well!
