HP Office Jet 6000 E609n Red & Blue lites flashing after installing new trolleys

The subject little line about everything said.  After you have installed 3 new ink carts (made many times before) the ink Light Magenta and Cyan continue to Flash.  After printing a 'HP Deskjet general purpose Test-Print Page assessment', all 4 squares show own colors, perfectly informed, so I know that the ink carts are installed correctly, etc...  (Clicked in place)

No matter what I try the lights continue to Flash.  Cannot get 'Toolbox' show, or else that could help.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Steve

After a lot of digging around to ask questions and even back to where the ink carts have been recently purchased, the conclusion is that the ink level monitors do not work when using reloaded ink carts. (Yes, those carts to Office Max which I forgot to mention in original post.) HP designed their carts to original ink for 'single use '. So now the printer "think" the cyan and magenta ink carts are low causing the red & blue lights flashing.

 

Not long after this printer was purchased in January 2010 the Toolbox stop working, even if HP carts have always been used... until now. Recently I reinstalled the HP digital imaging software and the Toolbox works again. What's weird, is that the Toolbox shows low ink on the three colors, but only the red & blue lights blink. (The black wagon is still an original HP.)

 

Bottom line: next time I'll pay 3 extra bucks for carts HP ink cartridges so flashing lights don't drive us crazy. LOL either that or put a piece of tape insulation on them for now.

  • HP Office jet 6000: HP Office Jet 6000 used print

    Hi, I hope someone can help. I have a HP office Jet 6000 which is wired cable to my laptop. There was a problem when printing to the printer used documents. Laptop is running Windows 7 32 bit

    I tried the following:

    1: replace the cable

    2: serve all documents in the printer memory

    3: printed a report page and the trial successfully of the printer status.

    4: all ink cartridges are full

    5: turn off the printer for 10 seconds and turn back on

    6: attempted to restart the print spooler, but it is grayed out

    Hi @agh55and welcome to the Forums of HP!

    I see that you are experiencing printing problems.  I would like to help!

    I would recommend starting with a power reset.  Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

    I recommend also to download and run the HP print and Scan doctor.

    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Office jet 6000 wireless of yellow ink does not print

    My officejet 6000 wireless stopped printing yellow.  I cleaned the print heads and aligned the ink cartridges and installed new cartridges.  I was full of hope because I printed a picture and 1/2 of the page that the yellow has been deployed but now no yellow prints at all.   It seems that myHP printers are expected to fail right after the 1 year warranty expires.

    Hey,.

    Thanks for the update.  I would say that at this stage the next steps you are available to try to replace the printhead or replace the unit as a whole.

  • Office Jet 6000: cannot find how to print the test page with Office jet 6000

    I can't find in the properties of this printer HOW to print a test page. I was running out of ink black, and all color cartridges are rather recent and not on show at low levels. But, after replacing the black cartridge the first doc to test printed came out very uneven and unreadable.  There is no error message.  How in diagnostics on this printer to test the printing?  I tried not to print a doc of color (as photo) yet.

    Can I update the driver?  Help, please.

    Hello

    Test print page options under properties of the print driver for your device.

    But I don't think that solv your problem.

    You must print alignment and another test for correct print quality problems.

    Here is the HP site, gives detailed instructions form document.

  • HP Office Jet 6000 wireless duplex printing problem

    (Note: all printers updates have been made)

    Printer works great as duplex, however:

    I try to Print Duplex (1/2 letter size pages - portrait booklet with the paper size of 8.5 "x 5.5" ).

    When I go to print I select the paper size for brochure (predefined size as shown above), however deselects the duplex option and manual is the only option.

    If I reselect Duplex then the size of the paper goes back to 8 1/2 "x 11".

    It's normal for duplex printing on non-standard paper?

    I know I can do it manually by printing one side at the time, but it defeats the purpose.

    Thanks in advance for any answers/ideas.

    blperry2001, I responded earlier to a similar post here (http://goo.gl/tcbiM) to explain why some paper sizes are not able to print.

    A list of most of the formats accepted for our printers can be found here (http://goo.gl/Bwv10), although according to their use some sizes may not be supported.

    I hope this helps!

  • HP Office Jet Pro 8720: Problem set up and launch the new printer & ink cartridge installation

    Two questions:
    First... it takes a LONG time for the computer to open itself.
    Then, when he did initiate... I opened the section of ink cartridge
    to install the ink & transport of ink would not come to the Center.
    SO... I stopped the printer to start again... and now, the
    screen has a spinning wheel indicating "cartridges controls."
    It lasts for more than half an hour.
    HELP... This is a new printer & I can't open.
    Thank you kindly.

    Hi @paulallah,

    Thanks for joining the Forums of HP Support for a solution to your printer problem.

    I understand that you have a printer of HP all-in-one OfficeJet Pro 8720 which took a long time to initialize and is now stuck in a mode 'check' cartridges after the reboot it because transport would not move to the Center. I would like to help with that.

    I would start by doing a Reset of the power on the printer.

    If that fails to solve the problem, you might want to speak with HP Technical Support as there may be a hardware problem.

    You mentioned that you are using a Mac running OS X 10.5 Leopard or more. The HP all-in-one OfficeJet Pro 8720 printer is only compatible with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion or later.

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

    Indeed, if this help you to achieve a solution please click the 'accept as Solution' and the 'thumbs up' buttons down below in this message.

  • Office Jet 8610 all-in-one: fax does not install

    Can someone help me please?   I have printer uninstalled somehow the 'fax' when I was on the move. I set the printer to the top, even re downloaded the driver for Mac Os X. I "added" a new printer, but it still does not show the 'fax' option when I hit 'print' as before. And the 'fax' does not appear in my list of printers.  I could use some help.  Thank you in advance. Gigi

    Hello @GGSA!

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    I would be happy to provide you with some suggestions that can help solve the problem!  There may be a slight problem with the software.  I know that you have reinstalled the drivers, but I suggest you uninstall the HP software. Once the software uninstalled I recommended to perform a "repair disk permissions" on your Mac. A repair disk permissions is a utility built into the operating system Mac designed to detect and resolve problems or errors. After that permission to repair disc is finished, reboot your Mac computer and re-install the software.

    To uninstall the software HP click here: uninstall the HP software

    To perform a repair authorization disk click here: repair disk permissions

    To download the HP software, click here: Officejet 8610 software and driver

    After the installation I recommend that you check the software updates on the Mac. To search for software updates, click the icon "Apple" to the left and click on the "app store". In the app store, you can click on the "updates" at the top of the window. Updates install and Hp or a printer. After the update, you must restart the computer.

    If please, after back and let me know if this worked for you!

    SAR-Antonius, welcome to the forum.

    I suggest that you use this page to download or upgrade to Win 10.  I actually upgraded from 8.1 to win to win 10 Home by using the upgrade option and also made a USB drive, so I have a copy backup.

    If you don't want to use this method, I suggest contacting Microsoft Customer Service to help the auto upgrade you are trying to do.

  • C4D file lite - empty after the new update?

    I installed the latest Aftereffect and C4D Lite, and then - when I try to open my file lite previous C4D - its totally empty and all my layers in the C4D file went.

    I can only view my file in After effects, but cannot make changes in C4D, because its empty? () 0

    Number of hours of work have disappeared - or maybe its me doing something wrong.

    I don't remember correctly. The version is R16, but rendering is R17, which is what I thought of.

    Nevertheless, the question is maybe because you have opened the wrong file. In your AE comp, I see HUS_NY.c4d a lot, but the screenshot of C4D is Murstensvilla.c4d

  • Office Pro 8000: Cannot Print/Out of ink error even after installing new cartridge.

    When I tried to use my printer a few days ago, I received an error message "can't Print Can: ink" on the magenta cartridge.  I had used the printer a few days before and had not received a low ink warning.  It seemed suspicious to me that I would have received an empty cartridge error message without having previously received a low cartridge warning.  The cartridges yellow and cyan read 70% complete - all 3 were original cartridges.

    I bought a new cartridge 940XL magenta and installed according to the instructions.  Now, I get a message that the new 940XL cartridge is empty.  I can shake the old cartridge 940 and hear liquid inside.  Obviously, the new cartridge is also complete.  I tried to electric bike, reinstall the software, etc., without change of status.  If I swap back between the 940 old and new cartridge 940XL, they are correctly identified by type on my screen as the 940 or 940XL.  Because of the way the problem is presented, I don't think it is a cartridge problem.

    Of course, problem first awaken on May 8, and my warranty expired on 26 April.  Any suggestions?

    I solved my problem, what was obviously a lack of factory Assembly.  I looked inside my printer with a flashlight in the area where the ink cartridges are installed and found sprayed inside the printer magenta ink.  I disassembled the printer and found that the magenta line had been damaged during installation.  There are four tubes of ink that out by behind the ink cartridges, can do a U turn back toward the front of the printer.  Just after the bend, they do an another elbow top neighborhoods.  It is at this point that I found the damaged magenta line, directly above a screw on the right side of the housing of the ink cartridge.  The lines are in a very narrow passage and are held in place by several guards, moulded plastic.  It seems that the lines have been in place in the guardians, then the screws inserted from the top.  As I said, there is a tight passage, and it would be very easy to damage the line of ink right here if the lines have not been carefully selected to insert the screws when mounting.

    To solve the problem, I removed about 1/4 inch line damaged magenta ink.  I cut the line with a sharp razor, carefully to avoid collapsing the line or causing burrs to the hose.  I then placed approximately 3/4 "heat self-sealing tube on one end of the line of ink heat shrink.  Then I connected to the line with a small piece of plastic tube rigid of the handle with a swab of cotton, which was a perfect fit and comfortable on the line of ink.  Making sure not to cut the tube of ink or cause other damage, gently twisted the line of ink back until the ends have butted up inside the splice of cotton swab.  I then positioned the shrink tube over splice and it shrunk with a hair dryer.  Heat shrink tube, I used a hot melt glue applied to the Interior, which has helped more away making a watertight splice.  Again, it is not a lot of space, so the splice should remain small.

    I reassembled the printer, reinstalled ink cartridges and powered by the printer.  After the normal, long time running, I printed full color sheets and everything was fine.  Already that I had installed the cartridge magenta watch now that it is complete, and the remaining cartridges also read the levels they had before disassembly.

  • Blue screen flashing

    I have 3 computers all run Windows 7 Pro. In the last 24 hours, all 3 have completed an automatic update of Windows. Now all 3 are not usable. When the computer is finished the update and stops I can restart the machine - the computer looks like it starts correctly however it gets the blue screen and flashes repeatedly with a spinning icon. When I try to start in safe mode it gets at least up to the point where I can click the icon to open a session - but I never received a place to type my password and the screen goes only to the logon icon. What has Microsoft done?

    I must point out that all 3 computers running Norton Antivirus.
