• Deskjet 960C printer problem

  This printer worked perfectly with my Windows 7 system until a few days ago.  Now, it takes about 15 minutes to print a page - even time if black and white or color.  I don't know where to start troubleshooting.  Would it be a of the automatic updates of the system which is at the origin of the printing problem?

  Thanks for any help.

  Try printing a test page by pressing the button resume 5 seconds. If this page is slow to, it might be a cartridge problem. Get out them of the printer and check the date on the cartridges.

• Deskjet 3000 printer problem

  DeskJet 3000 shows OK ink levels. the test print on most lines only 1/2 the height of letters. Printer did not run for about 5 months. ???

  The printhead on the cartridge for this model, is about half an inch, so if the white lines repeat every half inch or so indicate, ink do not come out. You may need to run 'clean' print head (or can be called 'clean cartridge'), a few times until all the ink jets are disabled. On some models there is a "Deep cleaning" mode, if requested, try this.

  If the problem persists, maybe replace the black ink cartridge.

• Establishment of a used HP Deskjet D1460 printer problems

  Downloaded 140 MB of software and drivers for Windows 7, 64 bit, HP.

  Software downloaded, installed and run OK but when an attempt is made to print the test page, the printer loaded paper then the printhead moved only once all the minutes and paper moved no further.  When the power supply to the printer has been removed and reconnected, the paper was ejected empty.

  Downloaded and run HP printer install wizard for Windows.  It says that the right software and the driver was already installed. When the test page has printed, the printer running at normal speed but only the position line was printed and it had a big drag in the middle where the ink was absent.

  Downloaded and run printing HP and doctor Scan. This correctly the printer as '1400 series printer' but the only listed diagnostic test was "Fix scanning problem" (I also have a HP scanner, but it was not connected to the computer).  The next window is a list of links.  By clicking on one of the 3 links regarding a specific product, provided information about the wrong product: envy 20-d090 TouchSmart all-in - one desktop PC.

  Run the utility from Windows 'clean ink cartridges.  Cartridges moved at normal speed during the cleaning operation, but when an attempt is made to print the test page, the printer loads the paper then the printhead moved only once all the minutes and paper moved no further.

  What should I try next?

  Power off the day the next day and restarted PC, it the next morning. Print a page of a web site map.  The printer worked fine.

• Deskjet D2680 printing problems

  I have a D2680 connected by a USB cable to a laptop Toshiba under Win 7. In devices and printers, the printer is usually listed as offline. By doing a hard reset or by pressing the power button, I can finally get the printer online, but when I send a document to print, nothing happens. If I then press the power button, I get a printer error message. Sometimes when I restart my computer prints a document. I haved used several USB cables, without change. For the black cartridge light is flashing. I tried everything I read HP (cleaqning the contacts of the cartridge, restart the Print Spooler Service), but the printer is not reliable. Sometimes the power button flashes, but nothing prints ever.

  Although it seems that you have a few different problems, it looks more like a paper jam or a jam of transport.

  -Flashing lights-

  Would you say that the ink is flashing quickly or slowly?  I've seen printers to 'disconnect' due to a blockage of this nature.  You can try to clean the wheels or looking for a small piece of paper stuck in the gears or another inside the printer.

  When you get these sets of problems, can hold you down the power button and the Cancel (red X) button and at the same time to get the printer to print a test page?

  I understand that it can print when you restart the PC, but what about when you perform a hard reset on the printer (unplug the power cord from the rear while it is in use)?

  Answer these questions for me please, and I'll be happy to help you.

• DeskJet 2544: Printing problem

  My printer prints a Word document, but does not print not an email or anything on the web.  Print pop up option appears out of the box where the print preview is supposed to show just has three dots jumping around and preview impression just never came up, so it will not display.  It worked fine until last week.  The printer is relatively new.

  Can I have an answer in simple terms please, because I'm not seriously HE read and write.

  Thank you very much.

  Yes, that's perfectly fine.

  While searching on the web for similar problems with Google Chrome, many report such a reason of a lack of Net Framework 3.5 on the computer.

  Download and save the linl below and then close Chrome:

  Once installation is complete open Chrome and try to print, and then search for any difference.

  If it persists, can print you web pages of other browsers such as Internet Explorer or Firefox?

• HP deskjet 5940 won\ ' t print

  I have a HP Deskjet 5940 printer that I can't seem to print.  Reconnected all cables, checked ink (new cartridges) and deleted and he readded as my default.  Seems to load until I try to print.  Says my document test page failed to print that I can see, but it shows waiting.   And I would add that my load disc is cracked so will not work.   Time to buy a new printer?  This runs seven 7 years.  And if I have to buy a new one, I need suggestions on something simple and stupid.  You are looking for something which is economical on ink cartridges and printing may be just in black and white.  I don't post much - e-mail and some Internet.    I am also computer in question.  USAFRetired

  Even if you tried, I wasn't able to get my printer working with instructions.  Screen had a several reviews that I didn't understand:

  -c:\Document and Settings/HP_Admionistrator

  -The copy functions cannot be used.

  -Installation not successful

  -Error report is completed.  This info is needed to diagnose installation failure.

  -New hard disk wizard has found, but it tells me to insert the installation CD.  Then he told me that I can not install.  Software not found.

  Plan B was to take my printer and the turn of a new computer repair shop just up the road from me.  Took 20 minutes, and they got my printer working.  Cost me only $21,50 vs buying a new printer.  And I am able to use the

  ink cartridges that I had bought in May.  What a deal.  They now have my business.

  Thanks for the help.

• Deskjet 5940 or Deskjet D4360 network print server

  I would like to find a cheap USB to ethernet edge server printing for my Deskjet 5940 printer so that I can share it between three PC.  Even if I can find a number of devices for sale on the Internet, it seems that they are usually only compatible with certain printers.  For example the IOGear GPSU21 (http://www.iogear.com/product/GPSU21/) seems an attractive choice, its compatibility list at

  http://www.IOGEAR.com/file/PDF/GPSU21_PrinterCompatibilityList_201208.PDF

  lists many Deskjet printers, but not the 5940.  Other manufacturers do not yet provide compatibility information.  Can anyone recommend a similar print server that is compatible with my printer?  I also own an HP printer deskjet D4360 I could use instead, but it has the same compatibility issue.  Thanks for any help!

  The first and third items you mention are wireless, not ethernet. The second element has a parallel printer USB port no. The last three items are pluggable EIO. None of them are similar itmes for IOGear device that I mentioned. I will accept as your mention of IOGear unit solution, but if you check Amazon customers and other user forums, it seems that 50% of chance that "any network printer" cannot be obtained for work, where my original question.

• HP Deskjet 5940: deskjet 5900 series driver windows

  Hello

  How can I install my old printer HP Deskjet 5940, as my new laptop has Windows 10? Drivers do not seem to work with WIndows 10. Thank you!

  Hi @Mirjami,

  Thanks for joining the Forums of HP Support with your request for installation.

  I understand that you have a HP Deskjet 5940 printer you want to install on a computer Windows 10. I would like to help.

  This printer has more no driver available for download on the Web site because it was added to the list of retirement products. When HP adds a product to this list all the online resources are drawn from the site.

  The printer is listed as being compatible with Windows 10. You will be able to install the software by using the built-in Windows print driver. So here's a support document which covers how this can be done - in installation and using the built-in Windows print driver.

  Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance.

• hp deskjet 1000 printer: hp deskjet 1000 problems

  hp deskjet 1000 printer is about 5 years old and has been under the back seat of my truck. I printed about 25 pages when it was new and not the have not used since then. out of the printer and now I have a dell inspiron laptop computer m531r. connected the printer hp with a usb cord and downloaded the latest update from hp. When selecting "print test page", the printer works perfectly as if it is printing, but paper comes out of the Virgin. I have cleaned the ink cartridges with paper towels soaked in alcohol, to run each test and head cleanning hp offered on the troubleshooting section. ink level indicators show the ink to about 80% full. and I updated all the parameters. I rebooted the printer and the computer. I checked and any document, when selected for printing, the printer thinks it is printing. He's even going the correct speed with spacing appropriate, etc. just comes out blank. There is nowhere any dried ink on the print cartridge heads they are clean!   the printer receives data and think it's printing. Therefore, the system does not give messages of any problem. I am concidering buying new cartridges of hp61, but it is a risk not knowing not if the problem is in the cartridge.   TS

  @tomcat056,

  You are right that there is a risk to replace the ink cartridges. In all likelihood, the cartridges are dried up and the sensor is defective. New cartridges may not solve all your problems of printer. Honestly, printers are not designed to roll the shotgun in your truck. Personally, I would take the money spend you on the new cartridges and buy a new printer.

• DeskJet 1050 J410: HP Deskjet 1050 J410 intermittent printing problem

  My printer has an intermittent problem where when something is being printed, a line will have the empty right in the middle of it (you can see part of the printed information line above and below the Virgin part).   About ninety percent of the lines print correctly.   Even if the cartridge still had ink, I replaced them - this has not fixed the problem, so I thought that the printer was bad.

  This is where it gets strange:

  Some time ago I bought an another Deskjet 1050 J410 (it was on sale and I wanted a backup).  I replaced the active printer with the new printer, thinking the problem would probably solve themselves.   Guess what?  It does the same thing as the old printer.   It doesn't seem to matter what I print (emails, documents,...).

  Thinking that it must be something in the processor (motherboard, printer card?), I turned off the system and left on the printer, then copied a page on the printer as a test.    It is also the same problem.  So now that I'm back to thinking, it is a printer problem.   But how the new printer could have the same problem as the old printer?

  Any ideas what is causing this and how to fix it?

  I ran the diagnostics HP (HP Print and Scan Doctor) and no problems were found.

  I also ran the HP (alignment, cleaning cartridges and printer) Toolbox.

  Is there a software that is loaded directly on the printer and could that be the cause of the problem?

  P.S. before I met this problem about 1 week ago, I had used the printer for more than 2 years and not had this problem.

  Jamieson, of the Forum of Support HP team sent me an email with a link that has several steps to correct the problem, I did.   I am very pleased to report that my problem has been corrected.    Jamieson, Bravo.  You have made my day. Keep up the good work.     I'm curious to know what caused this problem to occur.
