HP Envy 4500: failure to print

The printer is out of warranty, but less than two years. I just replaced both ink cartridges, using HP ones. The alignment test was OK, but the printer now prints in color, only not in black. It was working fine last time I used it before replacing the ink cartridges.  I tried self help the doctor print and scan without success; This figure includes cleaning of the printheads.  None of the FAQ seem to tackle the problem exactly.

Link checked, works very well.

  • HP Envy 4500 will not print computer

    Hello

    My HP Envy 4500 works perfectly for some time now.  Unfortunately, it stopped printing from my Dell laptop, running Windows7. It scans to the laptop very well.  It copies fine, and it prints from my iPhone fine.

    I've reviewed a ton of messages and tried many things:

    * Uninstall/reinstall wireless (at least 8 times) - via the website https://123.hpconnected.com/activate/woobe/ENVY4500

    * Uninstall/reinstall via USB

    * ran doctor utility printing/scanning (or whatever it's called) and says it all looks very good

    sending a test with a HP tool page is fine, however, the internal test via the tool HP Print page fails

    I'm losing my mind and would be really grateful for the help.

    Thank you!

    In addition to the obvious problem, the printer is able to print other types of documents, such as pictures?  Alternatively, are you able to make the copy of the façade?  What operating system work?

  • HP ENVY 4500 does not print a PDF file

    I have Win7 HP laptop HP ENVY 4500 all-in-One printer wireless and iMac OS X 10.9.1 desktop. It prints all good document file formats, except a PDF file. When I try to print a page of a PDF doc't, via Adobe Reader (11.0.07), it prints 6 equidistant tiny portions of the original PDF page on a single sheet. All six parties are in the same area of the upper quadrant of the original PDF page. I tried many portrait, landscape and size configurations, but in vain. It will not print PDF of my iMac and PC browsers files. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the printer and its driver a couple of times. It installs OK without error messages, but it will not print PDF. Also, I don't get any error messages when I try to print a PDF file. I don't see any documentation supplied with the printer printer to say that this HP all-in-one cannot print PDF doc'ts, and it seems to me that it would print a PDF file until several weeks ago. Please notify.

    I was finally able to print PDF files. But it's been so long ago because it was fixed that I don't even remember what was the solution. But four possibilities come to mind: (1) is of course the "print as image file" option has been activated; (2) re-installed printer driver; (3) re-installed Acrobat Reader and ensured that browser and extensions of processing of s/w, if any, have been correctly selected for my printer. (4) corrected a wrong paper, the type, quality, or size option layout which may have resulted in a page layout or a different format from what should be the 'standard' to a PDF file. Sorry I can't be more specific than that. But if I have to determine exactly what I could do to get PDF printing to work properly, I will go straight to you. BTW, I certainly don't rely on an intermediate file conversion service or s/w to transfer my PDF files to a printable format. I hope this helps.

  • HP Envy 4500: URGENT - HP Envy 4500 does not print with only a black cartridge

    Hello

    My HP Envy 4500 will not be black and white print with just the black cartridge. I want to use the color cartridge, which is almost empty. Result: my pages get printed in a greenish color. I can't select the option "only use black cartridge" in the print option either (it is disabled). I tried to delete the printer and re - install again but it doesn't change anything. I use a Mac with os x 10.6.

    I need to print important documents quickly, so any quick help is more than welcome!

    Thank you

    Use single-cartridge use the HP ENVY 4500 series with only one cartridge.

  • HP ENVY 4500 - won't print all the lines

    Hello

    I just bought and installed my new HP ENVY 4500 printer. Facility set to be ok.

    HOWEVER, my first test prints look all the same: only 1 all 3 lines is printed. This sounds like something only black ink lines.

    I cleaned the printhead, I got out and reinstalled the black ink cartridge. But the problem remains.

    No idea how to solve this problem? (not really the best start for a new product HP...)

    THANKS for your help

  • HP Envy 4500: New black print cartridge

    Hello

    I'm new to the forum but I really need help, and I can't get any support online via the HP Web site.

    I bought a new HP Envy printer 4500 July 1. Being a writer, I do a lot of printing so I usuaully buy HP 61XL cartridges. I used the cartridge supplied with the printer but when I installed a new, it gives me this error message: "the installed cartridges are not intended for this printer.

    I can't use XL cartridges? It is a new cartridge, so I don't think that the cartridge itself is damaged.

    Wells Sharolyn

    The HP SureSupply site indicates your desire 4500 supports 61XL cartridges.

    The troubleshooting in the here document steps can help resolve the error on your black cartridge 61XL cartridge.  In particular, see steps 3 to 6.

  • want to 4500: hp envy 4500 does not print

    I just purchased a 4500 desire and implemented successfully, but I can't print anything that is not internal. I can copy, print a page of report and analysis, but I can not print a word document as the screen gets stuck on printing now and for always loads. I have tried both wireless and usb cable. I ran the program doctor's diagnosis and reinstalled the latest hp drivers. I also restarted the spooler. I tried everything I found on these forums, but I can't make it work.

  • HP ENVY 4500: Error: the printer could not print

    After a saga of long hours to get my new 4500 DESIRE to produce a readable text, I finally have a wonderful clear text, but now realize a new problem: the printer stops at Midway through each second page and it spits out just with the white background.

    An error message appears briefly in windows that said "the printer could not print. If I click on it there is no more details. It seems that windows stops just sending information to the printer. My print spooler service is running and we are within 5 feet of the router with a strong bond. I did everything I can think of including updating the firmware and driver.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for your suggestions! However, most did not address my problem. I ran the Print and Scan doctor before posting this thread, but it found no errors. I was unable to get any additional details about the error.

    SOLUTION: I found a solution after reading this thread. I've updated Windows 8.1 a few weeks since the last time I had the printer works. I've updated Windows again today and the problem immediately went away.

    Although I couldn't see everything concerning him spool printing or printer in the update drivers, it seems that the bug was caused by a Windows Update, and subsequently fixed by another update. I was able to print a 40 page document and several page 5 those without any problem, when before it was bad, making it through several pages before he died. Fixed!

  • HP 4500 Envy: Envy 4500 does not print

    I used my desire 4500 for a few months. Mid-printing it stopped printing and now it won't print. I went through all the steps of troubleshooting without result. (I turned the printer off/on power; unplugged power cord, reset printers, etc.) It will still print from my desktop and a laptop, but not my Macbook Air - my main computer. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    If you haven't tried it already, it might be useful to restart the router to see if that helps.
