HP deskjet 5150 does only print one line at a time

My deskjet 5150 worked very well until another paper went through and stuck.  I was able to pull the tail of the outside before he completely crossed, thus eliminating the document.  After that, the printer went from normal to print to print one line at a time, with long breaks between the two, such that a journal would take several minutes to print.

It happened before, and it seems that one of the many random things that I try finally works (striking out the cartridges, etc.), or he decides to forms and works correctly at some point anyway.  I don't know what is the actual active ingredient.  However, it has recovered from such behaviour several times before.

I should mention that this malfunction/recovery routine began and most recently occurred when connected to my old iBook G4 Mac computer.  I have just this week has changed to a MacBook Pro, the latest operating system running, and the printer is not different.  It prints one line at a time.

I don't know when this has happened to the other HP printers that I had in the past, I just put away, not realizing that they still had plenty of life in them left.  This one, I have "revived" several times already.  But how, I'm not sure!

You have any ideas?

Hi there chitownchic,

I suggest paper paper jam for the troubleshooting steps that are recommended for the jamming problem you had. Generally a very good cleaning of the rollers will help a little, and also a power reset.

  • My deskjet d1455 printer only prints one line at a time, every 30 seconds

    How can I fix?

    This is caused by the failure of one of your cartridges.  Remove the black print cartridge and print a test page.  The printer prints at a normal speed?  Is therefore the black cartridge was the issue and needs to be replaced.  If it isn't then, put the black back cartridge in and remove the color cartridge and the test page printed.  If the printer now prints speed the color cartridge is responsible and must be replaced.

  • My Deskjet 3520 does not print envelopes. None of the proposed solutions work.

    My DEskjet 3520 does not print envelopes.  I tried all the solutions, and none of them work.  My operating system is Windows XP Professional SP 3.  The computer is a Dell inspiron 530.   There is noe error messages.  When the envelope comes out of the printer, it is empty.  When an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper is in the printer, the address information prints on the right edge of the paper in landscape format.

    My conclusion is that there is a serious error in the software.

    If there is any workaround I would be grateful to receive them.

    I simply "duped" the copier and formatted the envelope to print in the center of an 8 1/2 X 11 inch paper landscape page.  It took a few violins, but I've got envelopes printing.

    3. While the printer is turned off, disconnect the power cable from the back of the router.
    4. When the lights come back on the router, turn on the printer.
    5. Close any programs you have open.
    6. On your Mac, click on your Apple icon, system preferences and printers and Scanners.
    7. Hold down the CTRL key and click on an icon of your printer on the left.
    8. Click on reset printing system.
    9. Click the 'more' in the lower left corner.

  • HP Deskjet 3050: deskjet 3050 does not print the JPG files in color - all other documents are printed only in black and white

    Dear all,

    I have a problem with my Printer 3050 Deskjet. (USB connected with my laptop).

    My printer does not print documents colors in color, but only in black and white (with the exception of JPGs (photographs) which are printed in color.

    Word or PDF documents (for example) are always printed in black and white - even if they are in color.

    Copy of pages in color on my printer is not a problem.

    This works perfectly well. The printer is connected to my PC via USB.

    Cartridges (color and black and white) are practically new and original HP cartridges.

    Could the problem be associated I could have changed by accident print settings.

    Thanks in advance for your advice.

  • Deskjet F350 all in one printer: deskjet F350 does not print

    The printer will print after replacing more paper in the middle of a print job. Checked for paper jam and it is clear.

    No error message flashing.

    @karlsruhe57, welcome to the forums!

    I read on how your Deskjet F350 will not print once you have replaced most paper during a print job. What comes to mind, is that the printer can think it's even more paper.

    Try to reset the printer and restart the computer and try again to print.

    Reset instructions:

    • Press the power button to turn the product on.
    • With the product, unplug the power cord from the back of the product.
    • Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    • Wait at least 15 seconds.
    • Plug the power cord into the wall outlet.
    • Reconnect the power cord to the back of the product.
    • If the product does not light by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.

    I was wondering if everything can perhaps help me?

    I'm in Uni and so have to print several etc test and for all these front page - but every time I try to print this cover on the printer page or amends the provision does not print. Why is this?

  • HP deskjet 5150 - failure sudden print under Windows 7

    I've been running a printer HP Deskjet 5150 with Windows 7 for two years now without a problem (and for several years before in XP). Suddenly, it ceased to print from my desktop computer but continues to work away happily from my laptop (which is still running on XP).  When I select a file to print from office model, the printer comes to life (lights flashing etc.) but nothing is displayed. On the Control Panel, it says that it is there no ducuments in the queue.  I reloaded the driver etc. and used installation HP doctor, but all without result: none can detect defects.  But in trying different routes of troubleshooting, I find that the "Print test Page" function works as long as necessary the office, then it seems that nothing wrong with the printer functionally.   (But "print test page" in the installation of doctor HP is not working!)

    I saw only two error messages: once I got an error message that read something like "this program has encountered an error and is unable to act" and a second, some time later, said "cannot print scripts on this page.  They lead me to suspect that the problem lies somewhere with the Windows software.  The firewall in use is BitDefender, but disable this does not solve the problem.  Can anyone help?

    Sand Piper, to start sounds like it is a driver problem. I want to start to be sure that deleting the software and relocation happened in the best way possible. I want you to follow my steps, I can be sure that we start both on the same page.

     
  • DeskJet 1050 - J410a: HP Deskjet 1050 does not print after upgrade of Windows 10

    Dear forum,

    I recently upgraded my HP Windows OS 8.1 for Windows 10 desktop computer. My deskjet 1050 printer, which worked fine before the upgrade, does not properly more print after the upgrade.

    I used HP Print and Scan Doctor several times, indicating no any problems. I am able to scan documents, the question is limited to printing. I also deleted and reinstalled the drivers at least 2 times (and restarted all systems on a regular basis).

    • A "test print" works very well.
    • When I print a PDF from the edge, the printer creates output but not good quality.
    • When I print an office word document, pages came out empty.

    3 cases have a common behavior, whenever I get an error message. "Morning maken puts printer niet mogelijk. Duch is for "cannot connect to the printer.".

    Do you have any tips for me?

    With sincere friendships.

    Pieter

    HeyPieter_Belgium

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I'd love to help you with printing problems you encounter. Although I am not sure what is cause of the error of communication, or of poor quality, I suspect it has something to with the pilot and the recent upgrade. I suggest to uninstall the software, remove the Chuck from the properties of the server, and then put it back using the printer Installation Wizard. I will list the links and instructions below to help you in each of these steps.

    HP printers - uninstalling the software of the printer (Windows)

    Remove the driver from the print server properties:

    1. in the folder "devices and printers".

    2. choose "print server properties.

    • Win XP - with no printer selected, click 'File' then 'server properties '.
    • Windows Vista - with no printer selected, press 'Alt' and then click 'file' then 'server properties '.
    • Windows 7/8, 8.1 and 10 -select any printer in the "Devices and printers" folder and click on "Print server properties" above.

    3. click on the "Drivers" tab at the top of the window "properties of the print server.

    4. choose the printer that you want to uninstall, and then click 'remove '.

    5. choose "Remove driver only.

    6. the next screen will give a warning, letting you know that the removal of the driver package will remove it from the system. Click 'Yes' to say are you sure you want to do.

    If documents are stuck in the spooler to print, you see an error, cancel all documents waiting in the print queue or try restart the spooler to print, and then try to delete the driver from 'Print server properties' again. If she will not always remove the sachet, restart the computer and the printer should correct this error "in use" and allow the driver to be removed.

    Download and run the Installation Wizard for printer: www.HP.com/go/Tools 

    If this solves the problem, please indicate your post as solved by clicking on the accept button Solution below. If you need help, let me know!

    Thank you.
