HP Envy 4500 series: print 'Photo printing without borders' and 'best quality '.

Problem: It only prints in the borderless Photo printing option.

Text in black it prints appears in gray.

It prints only in quality adjustment 'Best '.

The test (after cleaning the print head) page shows the 6 colored rectangles but no black text.

I cleaned the print head, uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of the software.

The cartridges are NOT original HP cartridges.

Of course, color works fine.

I replaced the black cartridge with a new one, twice.

I can buy a new printer for the price of these replacement cartridges.

Should I worry about trying to fix this problem or should I throw it out the window?

In the here document troubleshooting steps can help solve the black print is not on your printer 4500 desires.  Note that when printing in paper mode Photo black cartrdige is not used because the black pigmented ink is not compatible with photo paper.  If the photo paper is selected the pritner will use color ink to print in black.

My guess would be that you have a black cartridge faulty, not unusual for third party cartridges *.  You can try to mop up the printhead on a damp cloth.  A good cartridge would have a strong black ink spot.  You may be able to recover the cartridge by soaking the print head in warm water, nozzles down to the 1 "of water for about ten minutes.  After soaking, dry the electrical contacts and reinsert into the printer.

  • HP Envy 4500 series printer all in one

    What photo paper setting should I use to print with metallic photo with my HP Envy 4500 printer paper to avoid the smear of ink on the images?

    Hi silverwolf55,

    Welcome to the HP Forums.

    I see you are trying to use the metallic photo paper when printing photos.

    Just to let you know, metallic photo paper is not supported with the HP printer.  If you want to try to use the metallic photo paper, I suggest affecting the Best quality level so that the printer prints slow page. This will reduce the risk of smears and streaks.

    Thanks for your time.

    See you soon,.

  • HP envy 4500: direct printing without having to change the wifi to printer

    To print on a HP Envy 4500 from an Air iPad with iOS8, should I switch my network wifi to the printer whenever I want to print something?
    For example through my email, there are several emails, each with an attachment that I I want to print. I choose my network WiFi, open the email attachment, return to wifi-changing the settings of printer-go back to the document and print it. Wait for it to print. To return to the e-mail, I return to settings-wifi-changes in my next email open network. Then go through the process of return to the printer.
    There must be a simpler way to use "direct print", but when I try to print in the document, he says "no printer found AirPrint."
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello CdnCreekers,

    It seems to me that you print to the printer WiFi Direct printing option. There is an easier way...

    To begin with, I would turn off WiFi directly from the front panel of the printer > select direct WiFi, then turn it off.

    I assume you already have your printer connected to your wireless network, if that's the case, then you just need to print from your iPad. The iPad must be on the same network as the printer to use Apple's Airprint wireless.

    WiFi Direct is a great option for guests to use, but you don't need to have it on in order to print wirelessly on your printer.

  • HP Envy 4500: Repeat Printing Documents

    Hi all

    I have recently, in the last six months, plug a HP Envy 4500 series all-in-one printer as a gift for my parents. Apparently, he has a problem where it printed a document several times (despite asking only one copy) and will continue to print it whenever the printer is on.

    On my advice, my parents followed the instructions of RESUMES provided here , but it made no difference to the problem. My hunch would be to reset the printer, but of course the menu aboard is unvailable while it's printing. Someone has any advice on what to do to solve the problem?

    Many thanks in advance,

    D.

    Hi @Darius89,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I see that your HP Envy 4500 continually prints an earlier document that was printed. I'm happy to discuss this issue for you!

    Just to clarify, if you leave off the computer and turn on the printer, the printer still print the same document?

    Is this document something that has been printed from the computer? Or is it an alignment page perhaps?

    In the meantime, please try a hard reset by following the instructions contained in this message, How to perform a hard reset, by @Rich1. It is important that the power cable from the printer is plugged directly into the wall outlet, not a surge protector. Questions when it is connected to an uninterruptible power supply/Strip/surge protector power. This is true for printers and ink jet.

    Hope to hear from you soon and thank you for posting!

  • HP Envy 4500: Cannot print with the new Wifi

    I have a new Netgear09 router and everything connected correctly. My HP Envy 4500 wireless printer has been a success with the wizard, and I printed out the specs very well. My computer (Windows Vista) is connected to the Internet fine... but when I try to print a document from the computer it continually-error. What Miss me? I am able to print from my Ipad... but not the PC.

    Welcome to the HP community @Dmk3,

    I understand that you can't print from your Windows Vista system to your desire of 4500 from the evolution of your router. I would like to help!

    Try running the print and Scan of the doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for all conflicts that may be causing the problem. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there is a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results. Please send me the results.

    Try to print again, and if there are problems or errors, please tell me what they say precisely and I'll read them for you! Also ensure that you are trying to print outs in addition to a program.

    Best wishes to you!

  • ENVY 4500: My printer ENVY 4500 guard disconnection (no WiFi)

    My ENVY 4500 guard printer disconnect sporatically. One minute I can print correctly, either the printer could not be reached. The printer status "the printer is not connected.

    This continues to be of all devices, not only my iMAC. I tried my laptop, my iPad, iPhone. Same story. When it fires, he died for all devices. I tried to reinstall the printer, tried to restart, unplug. Nothing seems to fix.

    If I print the report directly from the printer during this time, it says everything is connected and no problems found (see attached image).

    Then after awhile, like an hour or two later, all of a sudden the printer will spit on all the prints that were in the queue.

    I contacted support and they connected to the printer and reset some settings, and it started working, then a week later he did it again. She continues to do maybe once a week or more.

    I don't know what to do more. Anyone have any ideas?

    Hi @jvtorto,

    Only scanners with a media support Transparent able to digitize 35 mm slides.  The Envy 4500 series does not include such a feature and therefore does not support the slide or negative scanning.

    You can consider a scanjet.
