HP deskjet d1660sounds impression of it\ but it\ not.

My hp deskjet D 1660 printer sounds like it is printing but is not. Document seems to be sent to the printer, flow of paper into the printer and all indications is that it is printing, but paper comes out clean. Black and sort shows color ink level indicator are almost full. Printer was given to me by the person who gave up stating that it does not work so I do not know how old cartridges but they are genuine hp. I downloaded the new drivers and updates to make the Windows 8 compatible printer. Any suggestions are welcome.

I was happy to hear of your initial success, but I wish it had not been short-lived.  You have done all the troubleshooting steps in the document I linked with the reset and a further cleaning.  The only other thing I can think of would be to try different cartridges.

  • Re: Deskjet 3070 - replaced the cartridges but does not now print!

    I have the same problem with my printer Officejet 6700 Premium. I just replaced all the cartridges with HP new ones. The printer is now going through the motions but does not print blank pages. This happens for all what I am trying to print including Diagnostics pages. The printer is a little older a year is not under warranty. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello twoshirts,

    I saw your other threads, and I understand that you have completed all the procedures listed here troubleshooting: printer does not print black ink or color of ink or prints blank Pages without success.

    I would like you to follow the steps below:

    1. reset of the printer, please make sure that you plug the printer directly into the wall, do not use a surge protector or power bar, they can cause the printer is in an error state and lose features of base over time.

    2 a 'cartridge problem', "Ink cartridge failed" or not "compatible ink cartridges" Error Message appears on the all-in-one, I know you did the cleaning steps, but, if you please, reinstall the cartridges and perform all THE steps listed

    3. now go ahead and run HP print and Scan Doctor- it has been designed to provide users with HP and features troubleshooting fix needed to solve many common problems experienced with HP print and scan the products related to Windows computers.

    I understand that you are not able to print diagnostics from the menu on the front panel as well, but want to see if the PSDR detects all conflicts in the software or drivers.

    Please let me know the results.

    Thank you

  • DeskJet 4645: New printer connected but do not print (without wireless or USB)

    Hi, I recently bought an HP deskjet printer advanced 4645... I had an old Officejet... So, I just installed with the new printer, everything connected and implemented. It is on the wireless network and communicates properly with the Internet. It fits on my computer and watch when it is offline or online and I can view on computer ink levels, so he communicates with her (same model scanning worked...). The ePrint (by e-mail) works and AirPrinting of an iPad in the works...

    BUT it won't print from the computer... Not at all... I reinstalled the program several times (app HP doctor suggested this), I swapped the printer where I bought it thinking it was a dud, I tried to connect via the USB cable... Nothing... Help, please

    Hi, I installed the driver full and tried everything... I ended up buying an officejet thinking that it was the deskjet sends me problems...

    BUT it still does not... I then found a place where you uninstall drivers conpletely (not in the Panel @ devices...)

    It is in devices and printers (Panel)
    Select a printer and then on the top of the page, click the tab saying "Server Properties".
    Then select the driver you want to uninstall
    Click on delete
    And TADA

  • DeskJet 3050 is connected wireless but does not actually print

    Hello
    I have a Deskjet 3050 All in One Printer - j610a and I run on Mac OS x 10.9.

    I did a software update and have managed to connect the printer to my wireless network. I know that for some of my wireless network from your report print on which not only says I'm fully connected to my network, but also that I have no problem found on my connection.

    I know that my computer is connected to the same network and I added my printer to the printer list.

    Problem:

    When I go to print something from my Mac, I select my Deskjet and click on print. In fact, he says it's printing and it has printed, but nothing is in fact!

    I get no error message and what I'm looking for in says me I'm connected.

    Just nothing really going to except what I can print directly from the printer to the diagnostic reports.

    This printer used to work perfectly, but then I moved and had to put in place all over again and now what's happening!

    Help!

    I do not know how to show that this has been resolved, but somehow, it fixed itself after that I just let a little rest and then added the printer to my computer.

  • Document scanning on HP DeskJet 4180 but does not OCR

    HP DeskJet 4180 9.0 OCR software with HP (IRIS) scans the document, but does not OCR. I have the gray value default values and sends the output of Wordpad. I tried everything suggested that HP and reinstalled software twice. What Miss me?

    With the help of Windows Vista (32-bit) on a HP Pavilion desktop computer. No error message. No text appears in Wordpad.

    Thank you.

    The scanner does excellent analysis of images. The options that he has had were paint, printer, E-mail, Photoimpression 4, HP Photosmart Essential 2.01, copy to the Clipboard, Wordpad and save to file. I tried to copy to the Clipboard, Wordpad and save a file without success.

    I have now acquired Readiris Pro 11 and that solved the problem. I can now deal with OCR on a text image scanned with the results that I want... to editable text.

    Thanks for trying. I don't know what was wrong with the original OEM software, but the problem is now resolved.

  • Solution center appears to be installed, but is not

    Hello
    My sistem of the device is Windows 7 ultimate 64 SP1 update until February 1, 2014.
    I can't find the "solution center" on my computer for my HP Deskjet F4280, I, ve tried so many times to reinstall all software downloaded from the HP website (DJ_AIO_03_F4200_NonNet_Full_Win_WW_130_140), but it's really impossible to find the solution center to scan my documents. Whenever I have reinstall the software seems central to this solution is already installed but is not.
    Please help me, I don't really know what to do and do not want to reinstall windows just to scan my documents.

    By myself, I found the solution.

    I had to manually uninstall the HP software... unbeliveble! It is a very unpleasant thing to do...

    I really don't understand why HP does not want to uninstall it from my computer.

    In any case, you have to go in the directory windows temp (%temp%) and if you have a ram disk as I have, you will need to uninstall the software that, without reason, is no unistall for real and install it again because the temp directory will be reset to zero whenever you turn off the computer

    do not close windows to go into the temp directory

    my computer is R:\temp

    Copy the directory starting with 7z and paste it into your desktop

    now go to util\ccc and uninstall using Uninstall_L1, Uninstall_L2, Uninstall_L3, and Uninstall_L4

    After that you can install by using DJ_AIO_03_F4200_NonNet_Full_Win_WW_130_140

    Why should I waste my time to manually uninstall software? don't really understand

  • I am able to scan, but unfortunately not able to print on the printer DJ1515.

    Original title: Do not print to the printer.

    My DJ1515 printer after the success of the download, I was able to scan, but unfortunately not able to print. Need help how to solve this problem. Thank you

    You need to provide a little more information... and it is unclear what you mean by "after successful download" even though I think you mean that you believe that you have successfully installed the printer.

    Is your printer: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?cc=lamerica_nsc_carib&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&product=5385208 (this model seems to be sold in Latin America and the Caribbean)?

    What version of Windows (XP Home, XP Pro, etc.) and service pack (none, 1, 2, 3) do you have?  Do right click my computer and select properties for info.

    Your printer is connected to your computer by USB, correct?

    When you installed the printer did you leave the printer NOT connected until you are prompted to connect by the installation software or did you first connect the printer to the computer and then install the software?

    What happens when you try to print? If you get an error message, please provide the full text without paraphrase.

    Please describe the status of the lights on the front of the printer (on/off/flashing).  Lights are on 1, 5 and 6 in the figure below:

    Win10 Pro x 64.

    Printer connects / impressions via USB but not via a direct Ethernet connection or through router.  Connection to printer Ethernet is not but installation disc is located by HP print and Scan by IP addfress doctor. Doctor says software not installed then DLs and installs the software - but still does not print.  Uninstalled and did the all over again: ditto. If again, doctor without uninstalling it (still) says not installed software - although it said it was installed before I ran it again.

    Router/printer Ethernet connection is good (fire port on) and the IP displayed on the printer screen, so I guess that the connection of the cable Ethernet/is OK. Network/print sharing enabled residential group. Utility of Windows/HP ID troubleshooting any problems.

    Thank you

    Monk

    Hello @Hmonk the printer has two ways to be connected but we really recommend use one at a time if you are going to perform a network first installation you want to make sure that you have an IP address from the printer connect the network cable to the printer room will get internet brand of course, on the port on the back of the printer when you have connected cable has a green and the orange light and then go to the menu reports on the printer and print a configuration report right on the 1st page under product settings, you will find IPV4 you must subsequently make the installation at this time where everything you want to make sure, is that the IP address of its different then 0.0.0.0 or 169.254.XXX.XXX since these combinations indicates that the printer its does not properly connect to the network

  • sfc scannow found errors, but could not fix

    I have problems with cleaning disc. It runs, but never opens the window after execution. It gives an error at the bottom of the scan window "system error statement qued files.

    I ran sfc scannow and it finds corrupted files, but could not fix them.

    What should I do now?

    Thank you

    Jack Bowles

    Thanks for your information. I thought it was a waste of time and was upset to have to wait an hour and a half for it ends. I was under the impression that Check Disk would only verify that clusters are only valid as in they can keep information. But Check Disk resolved my sfc/scannow gap with files are corrupt.

    In addition, the utility repairman to start ran a test after a missed start and I noticed, he said there is a corrupted driver. She did not mention that now after running the disk check.

    All things look good now thanks to your information AirDump. My problem occurred after dust removal on my PC. I think that the plug for the power supply was the problem because he was a coward. Or maybe on the SSD cable was loose?

    Thank you very much for your time,
