HP Officejet 6100 e printer will not stop running

I have a printer portable officejet 6100 e.  This isn't an all in one printer.  It worked fine for a few months.  Now, it continues to operate.

In other words, the ink cartridges continue cycling back and forth.  I am unable to print anything, because the cradle never stops runniing.  I have to unplug or the system will work forever.  I let it run for 1/2 hour to see if it would stop.  But he never did.

I probably expiration on 15 or 20 pages and had to buy a new HP ink cartridges, so I do not throw away and waste with a value of 50 dollars or cartridges.

Any suggestions

I am running Windows 7 on a Dell laptop.

Thank you

Ken

I'm sorry you have a problem with the printer.

See if you can unplug the USB cable from the back.

Press and hold (X) and unplug the power cord at the back. Plug the power cord supply, while holding down the (X) button.

Let me know if it stops.

  • HP Envy 5530: Emits a light HP Envy 5530, but the printer will not be running

    Printer of opportunity, so no guarantee: it out of the box, plugged in and set up. I was able to connect wirelessly to my computer, but I don't have the right to ink cartridges. When the ink is right, I plugged it again. This time the printer power not on at all. The only thing that happens is that the signal power light briefly when the first powered. This isn't a loose thread, because I can only duplicate the symptom when connecting, not when moving or unplug the device. It isn't food, as I have him succeeded and get the same exact symptom. (PS, thanks for the power supply internal easy-to-swap!)

    Is it a kind of fashion 'sleep'? Any suggestions as to what this is. I am rather stuck with it since I bought the ink and an additional power supply, so I would like to address them. Help, please! Thank you!

    Hello @azvlr,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand you are having feeding problems with your used HP ENVY 5530 e-all-in-one printer. I see that you have already installed a new set of ink and replaced the internal power supply without result. Unfortunately at this time if a new power supply fails to solve the problem of flashing light output that the next step would be to use the printer.

    Please take a look at this paper Support HP "no power" to ensure that all steps are completed that follows: The HP printer will not be running or to respond when the power button is pressed

    The HP Envy 5530 is always a newly released product. Therefore, I highly recommend contact our telephone Support queue to explore additional options. If a replacement printer is necessary food and ink will not be wasted because they can be used in the replacement printer.

  • HP Officejet 6500 a: printer will not connect to the wireless network.

    I got this HP printer for a while and it worked fine.  Our old router is out and we had to get a new one.  Installed perfectly and printer continued to work properly.  The password for the router was ridiculous, that's why I changed it to something much more simple to remember.  Since then, my printer will not connect to wireless internet.  I have a ~ and reinstalled the printer but still have the same problem.  I thought maybe to try the former password would, but who does not work either.

    Anyone has any ideas that might help before chuck it and go and get a new one altogether?

    Thank you.

    Easy things first.  Turn off the router and the printer.  Turn on the router and wait 3 minutes.  Turn on the printer and see if it connects to your router.  Status?

    If no joy, temporarily disable all security in the router.  Now try to connect the printer to your SSID not guaranteed without password.  Status now?

    If OK, go back and add WPA2-AES with your simple password.  Status now?

  • HP officejet pro 8600: printer will not be used with the document in the queue

    Hi people,

    can someone help me please?

    I tried all the solutions proposed-

    Check connectivity

    restarted print queue

    Remove and then reconnect the printer

    Power reset

    Cancel job again.

    I had this problem before, but something so tinkering with the queue got fine but nothing works all the time.

    I just changed the cartridges...

    No matter what other dieas welcome please

    Ash,

    I could be wrong, of course; Mac is not liable for the same way as the Windows environment.

    The printer can print when the print queue of the printer is on, ready to accept a job.  If the queue of work, i.e. the service on the printer running print jobs does not print to the printer, the printer will not print the work.

    If the printer on the computer service is not to blame, then you might indeed want to accuse the printer to not receive the work.

    You can check the communication between the printer and the rest of the installation between the printer and the service that sends the work to the printer:

    You could try to put everything back once more - to include your router.

    I hope this helps.

    Maybe someone with a Mac experience can shed light on the issue.

    Thank you

    Thank you for your reply, I tried your suggestion, but it did not work and the reason was a driver error. I have re-installed the driver software of HP and so far that seems to have solved the problem! I guess time will tell. Thanks again for the help, much appreciated, this a great forum help those in need.

  • OfficeJet 6100 x (H611a) will not be re - connect to the eprint Server

    My printer HP Officejet 6100 (H611a) has been connected to the server eprint for over a year.  A few days ago when I tried to print from my tablet, he told me that I was no longer connected to the server.

    When I went to the page of the built-in web server, it showed that I had lost the connection and was an icon that says 'fix it '.  I tried the reconnection to the server by clicking on this icon for several days without success.  He would say "unable to connect to the server.

    Finally, I tried to cancel the registration of the printer and tried to start over.  Now whenever I try to save the printer it says "unable to connect to the server.

    I tried this for about two weeks, without success.  Any help would be greatly appricated.

    Hi scthom,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support.  I understand that you get a connection error message when you try to connect to the web services of HP to use ePrint.

    My feeling is that there was an update to your router or modem firmware and this update is causing the printer to communicate with HP.  Please define Manual of the printer an IP address manually and DNS servers.  I've included a link to another post with measures, including screenshots, of how to do it.  Don't worry that the screenshots are for an Officejet 8600 the steps are the same.

    Please let me know how it goes.

  • Re: Satellite A210 - cooling fan will not stop running

    I am owner of a Satellite A210 laptop. I've owned this during 2-3 weeks. Thursday, I noticed that my fan was working very hard, fast and never stop. Before that, he'd come rarely. I restarted the computer and once it came the fan came and does not stop. I left it for 30 minutes and it still continues. I checked down to see if she was overheated and it wasn't. I bought a little chilled out air and breathed he threw the two events, but she still continued.

    Should I take back at the store that I bought and ask if they can fix this problem or is there a solution that I have not found?

    Thank you
    Tyler

    Hello

    Try it please change the option of cooling method in the power settings to see if the cooling fan works more slowly. If there is no difference, you can contact the store and see what they say about it.

  • CFS3 hangs upwards and will not stop running.

    CFS3 worked fine with Vista, but began to hang. Upgraded to Win7 and it worked fine until I defragmented the drive and now it freezes and will not be cut. I even removed the CD and rebooted the system, and I can't restart the game because it tells another CFS3 is already running. I have left because of this problem with Vista. He works very well so far and I'm suddenly incompatible program issues. If the program is not compatible why it worked very well for months? Has anyone else had this problem? It is the only program that I have problems with. I have a feeling I'm going to throw all that _ Quad Core 2.4 Ghz Vista by the window for an old Pentium 3 IBM PC.

    After a recent system restore, I met an error referring cannot start software Logitech set point. When I went to remove and re-install this software, I found that it was not present because of the restoration of the system. Manually, I deleted all traces of setpoint and withdrew its wireless mouse. After that I had to rebuild the index file and I've had no problems since.

  • Windows vista Startup Repair will not stop running

    Hi hope someone can help

    When I boot computer it goes to startup repair and custom automatically stops running same thing that happens when I use safe mode. Recently, we used the system restore, it worked fine until we used the Startup Repair
    Thanks for any help you can give

    Hi, Gretaevan2,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    * If this happens even in safe mode, then it is possible that the hard drive is the source of the problem.

    You can try the following steps:

    STEP 1: Try to perform the disk check and see if there are errors.

    See the following knowledge base to perform the disk check: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265

    STEP 2: Try the SFC Scan now.

    See the following knowledge base to run SFC Scannow: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310747

    If, in case, the step above does not help, try to perform the system restore to an earlier date when everything was working well.

    We can't wait to hear back on your part.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8610-e: HP Officejet Pro 8610-e will not stop printing

    I am trying to print on paper legal and necessary only 5 copies. After spewing of 17 full copies and 4 partial, I turned it off in the hope that it would stop.  Fortunately, when I turned it back there.  I'm not a computer guru, so a lot of the phraseology of the aid might as well be Greek to me.

    I've had my printer for about a week now and have not had this problem because it happened first, but I would like to know how do I cancel a print job, just in case it never happens again.   It is also interesting that this happened when I was printing on legal-size paper.  (Thank God, I don't have to do very often!)

    Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer.

    When a document is printing (or was sent and is about to print), there will be an indicator at the top of the screen, with an X white within a circle and print.  Touch and it displays a screen with a rex from X in the lower left corner.  Press X to stop printing.

    Note that if a print job is always sent from the computer, it can take a long time for the printer to be ready for the next job.  The printer stops printing immediately when you press the red X, but the computer can continue to send the rest of the job that will be discarded by the printer.

  • my HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer will not feed

    All the lights are out on my printer. I tried to unplug, plug is fine, reconnected. Nothing happens. Is there a switch on / off or reset? I've only had this printer for a few months...

    Hello

    I would suggest trying a hard reset with the device. This issue could be the cord powerd.

    Hard Reset:

    Unplug the power cord from the printer and the wall

    Take out the toner cartridges.

    Wait for 30 seconds

    Plug the power cord into the printer and the wall (be sure that the printer is plugged into the wall and not a surge protector)

    Replace the toners/cartridges in the printer

    Let me know the results
