HP deskjet 5850: deskjet 5850

I have a deskjet 5850 that has not been used for more than one year; until, he worked on the same computer. The problem I have is that the ink cartridge status light blinking meaning the cartridge needs service or replaced. I tried all the basic solutions, including the installation of new and compatible ink cartridges, ensuring that nothing hinders the contact of wiring and ensure that they are properly installed.

Is there other solutions I can try as a way to clean the printer itself?

Thank you

  • Is there a driver compatible windows 8 for the printer deskjet 5850?

    Nothing comes up on the Web site, diagnosis/service tool fails.  This printer is just too old?

    I have used with success in the series HP Deskjet 3510 class driver for two RT of Windows 8 and Windows 8, 8.1 Professional to print to the HP Deskjet 5850.

  • Driver software Deskjet 5850 not no projection in OSX 10.6.1

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro with 10.6.1

    My Deskjet 5850 worked great with it up to what I lack of color ink. Then all it would print was B & W even after a new color cartridge has been installed. But the printer works very well with our IBM PC.

    The Mac recognizes the 5850 printer but when I went to check the software driver, the 5800 series is not listed as an option, so the value default generic PCL Laser Printer is my only option and I wonder if this is the reason why I have more color. Even when I saw the impression it shows that it will print in B & W.

    Someone knows how can I fix?

    Thank you!

    Well Yes, the Laser printer driver would be my main suspect here.

    Try to download 10.6.2 and see what happens (it came out yesterday).

  • HP Deskjet 5850: The HP Deskjet 5850 unreliable paper feeding

    Hello - my printer (which although old has had a relatively easy life) always moves the paper slightly squint (I can live with that) and often needs help to pick up at all (I just can't live with it). The current document is paper HP Everyday. Is there a way to rejuvenate the pinch wheel?

    There are a few possibilities.  I would start by cleaning the rollers with a damp Q-Tip foam.  Reach in front, also remove the Panel or the rear of the duplexer and clean the rolls here.

    If this don't resulve not the problem, you can try the following: get a liquid silicone-free.  Use a foam Q-Tip to apply this to the rolls and let stand overnight.  The next morning use a dry cloth to remove any excess liquid, then run a few papers through the feeder.

  • DeskJet 5850 - try to wireless for the first time

    I recently bought a new computer which uses Windows Vista 64 bit and comes with built in bluetooth technology. My last computer not wireless capability so I plugged in the printer with the USB cable. now that I can use the wireless option, I want to do it, only I don't know how to set up, having never used this type of front wireless connection. I searched the online manual for my printer and couldn't really understand what he was saying... my computer should not only be able to revisit the signal of my printer wireless? then I went into Windows Help and Support, and it says that I have to make the detectable legacy, but I don't know how to do either... I sent an email to the support of HP, but the answer that I had was that they manage are no longer problems for this type of printer via e-mail... also, I had to install the driver for the 5600 series to get my printer to work with my computer, so I don't know if maybe the old driver adversely affects some aspects of the printer...

    as you can see, I don't really know any of this, any help you guys could give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    The wireless printer to a wireless (802.11) network or you can wire your printer to your wireless router to connect the same (and more reliable).  Your new computer probably has a wireless radio to work with the printer on a network.

    You have a network?  If so, what type of router you have?

    The bluetooth in your new computer is not compatible with the wireless that the printer uses so you won't be able to print via bluetooth to this printer.

  • HP 5850 & Windows 7 will not print envelopes

    I have a HP Deskjet 5850, Windows 7, and Word 2010.  I used the 5600 and 990c pilot, and both have the same problem.  The printer does not print envelopes.  He grabs hold of the envelope, acts like it's going to print and then jams and all the lights on the front of the printer start flashing.  Worked fine on Windows XP with Word 2003.  Help!

    Mr. Carpenter, do you have problems with a few envelopes (what size are?) or have you had problems with something else?

    Let's start by removing the software completely from the computer and replace it. First to do this, you will need to unplug the USB cable and let it remain unplugged until your software is completely removed. Then, after checking the devices and printers, programs and features, as well as for you Device Manager make sure that all copies of the pilot PnP disappeared - replace USB cable to install the Plug and Play drivers.

    If this does not work you can also try the Deskjet 9800 driver - there's the post about how to assign a different driver.

  • Deskjet 710/720/810/820/1000 Series printers - Patch for 64 bit Vista and Windows 7

    There is a problem with the 64-bit, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 or 8.1 drivers which causes the spooler crash with the following HP Deskjet printers:

    DeskJet 710

    DeskJet 712

    DeskJet 720

    DeskJet 722

    DeskJet 810

    DeskJet 812

    Deskjet 820

    DeskJet 822

    DeskJet 1000

    The attachment contains a fix for this problem for Vista and Windows 7.

    [The patch does not work for Windows 8, 8.1, or 10 x 64 systems.  There are efforts to this address, if a solution is developed it will be shown here.  [{Edit - I did not progress by getting the patch to run in Windows 8 x 64.}]

    First of all make sure that the driver for the installed printer.  If the driver has not been installed go to start devices and printers, add printer, the local printer, choose the appropriate port (for the converters, USB-parallel, the port likely USB001: or maybe USB002 :), then click Windows Update then choose HP for the manufacturer and select the appropriate printer.)

    Apply the patch as follows: log in to the computer with an administrator account.  Download the patch by clicking on this link or on the trombone at the end of this post.  Save the hotfix on your computer, then unzip it.  Then, copy the three DLL files in the following directory: %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3

    Note that %windir%\System32 is a system variable that points to the location of the Windows directory. For most systems it will be C:\Windows.  You can click Start, computer, and type %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 in the address bar and it is in the right place.

    This can be done from a DOS command prompt if BACK is opened with the "run as Administrator" command or to explore with a copy and paste.  Depending on your UAC settings, you may need to provide confirmation.  Also allow existing files to be replaced if you are prompted.

    This patch is not necessary and should not be applied to a 32-bit version of Vista or Windows 7.

    Thanks to extraordinary Microsoft engineer Alan Morris forguidelines for patch.

    Update - here is that of the more detailed installation instructions:

    Download the patch on the DJ_Patch.zip at the bottom of the page and save it on your computer.  Now click on the file and open it, and then extract the fix in a directory that is easy to find. (I use c:\temp. If this directory does not exist you can create it as follows: open the administrative BACK prompts by clicking Start, all programs, accessories, and then right-click on CMD. EXE and select run as administrator. Click in the DOS window, and then type the following command:

    MD c:\temp

    CD \temp

    Now extract the patch files in the c:\temp directory (all, extract c:\temp chose as a destination).

    [Update - Windows security settings can prevent these files from being used, please open computer, type c:\temp in the address bar and then right click on each of the dll files and select Properties.]  If there is a message indicating the properties file has been downloaded from the internet and can be blocked and then unlock the file before continuing.]

    Then, click back to the administrative DOS prompt and type the following: (the green stuff are comments, do not type them...)

    *. DLL DIR (just to check that the files are there, it should list hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll and perhaps others).

    Net stop spooler (ensures that the files are not in use.)

    Copy hpvdb720.dll C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this is for the Deskjet 710/712/720/722)

    Copy hpvdb820.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this covers the Deskjet 820 and 822)

    Hpwm5db1.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3(this covers the Deskjet 1000 copy)

    NET Start Spooler

    Output

    [Edit - note that these DLL files will already be in the directory.  You will get a warning asking if it's OK to replace the files, say "Yes".]

    At this point, the patch is installed and ready to print.

    Note that here printers do not support USB connections, they have only the parallel ports. [Edit - if your printer has a parallel port to use, it will be probably much less problematic than the use of a converter USB / parallel].   If you use a make you converter USB / parallel it is supported in your operating system.  The following messages are reported by cables USB-parallel that are supposed to work in Windows 7.   A driver is required for the converter USB / parallel besides the driver of the printer.  For converters supported, it is usually provided automatically in Windows 7.  Note: the appropriate to select for USB-parallel converter port is often USB001:.  I've heard of cases where the port was USB002: or LPT3: as well.  If the port you are using is unable (after applying the fix) try to change the port by going to start, devices and printers, right-click on your printer and select printer properties, then click the Ports tab.

    If you use Windows 7 do the following: log in as a user with the administrater properties.  [The following assumes that you are using IE as your browser] Click on the here link and select "Save".   Once the download is complete, select "Open folder", then right-click on the DJ_patch.zip file and select extract all.   If extract all is not an option, then click on "Open with" and select Windows Explorer.

    Leave the default directory and check the box "Show extracted files when you are finished", excerpt.   Click Start, computer, and type % windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3.  Arrange the windows so that you can access the two parts of the window.  Go in the first pane and select the three files dll, hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll.  Now drag and drop them to the % windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 window, select copy and answer to 'replace' in the dialog box.

    Note: %windir%\System32 is a system variable that points to the Windows directory.  For most systems it will be C:\Windows, but it can vary depending on the configuration of NDO of hardware configuration of the computer.  If you type %windir%\SysWoW64\cmd.exe in the address bar in Explorer or in start, search programs and files, it will find the right directory.
