HP photosmart 8450 printer: ink and toner issues

It is an older printer that has 3 slots for ink - 97, 99, 100. The 100 is almost impossible to locate and the quality is questionable. Do I need to be able to print?

Hi @jlou1,

Welcome to the HP Forums!

I understand that you are having quality problems when printing with your HP Photosmart 8450. I am pleased to see that for you!

According to page 22 of the user guidefor a better print quality, your HP printer recommend you install all retail print cartridges before the date indicated on the box.

So, if you're looking for optimal print quality, then the answer is Yes, you will need this cartridge #100. You might be able to print without the cartridge, but the quality is perhaps not as good.

Hope that answers your question and have a great day!

  • HP Photosmart 8450: Printer cartridges

    I have a HP Photosmart 8450 printer, which currently has 3 cartridges in it - 97 HP, HP 99 and 100 HP.  I have trouble finding the 100 HP cartridge, which is a gray Photo cartridge.  I do NOT use this printer for printing photos - I just use it for ordinary printing.  My question is "Is there another cartridge that I can use to replace the 100 HP?"

    Thank you!

    The 100 cartridge is used only for photo printing.  If you do not print photo I suggest remove the cartridge 100 and leaving this space blank.  For the best economy printing on plain paper, you will want to replace the cartridge 99 photo with a black cartridge 96 as well.

  • Save ink and toner Adobe Reader

    There is a function for printing Adobe Reader allows you to mark "save ink and toner" until you press on print. How does it work? or can someone point me to a link that contains a technical description?

    Forums of Acrobat here: Acrobat

    Acrobat DC is just the latest version of Acrobat, not a different product.

    May not be able to save Ink/toner in your particular case. I think it looks more light.

  • Photosmart 8450 prints only black and white with the new Mac with OS 10.6

    I just bought a new Mac with OS 10.6.  (former was OS 10.5)  Now my Photosmart 8450 will print only in black and white.  I installed the single upgrade on the site of HP, no change.

    Is there an other update I need?

    You want to disable automatic session opening, which may be why it behaves in this way.

    Go to System Preferences

    Go to security

    Under "for all accounts on this computer", place a check mark next to 'turn off automatic connection.

    In addition, I do not know if you set a password for the test account, but put something simple as 123 - just something / anything.

    Once that is done, choose log in the Apple menu, or reboot. This should bring you to the login screen where you can specify the account to enter.

  • Not compatible HP Photosmart C4480 printer ink cartridge

    HI - first time here - I have a HP Photosmart C4480 printer and have recently installed a new black ink cartridge - genuine HP 350XL - bought in Tesco and already used a few times.  I printed a page today, and when I went to another printing, the printer says that the cartridge was incompatible.  I had not touched the printer between the prints. I tried out both cartridges and resettlement but still get the same message.  Also tried to turn again printer.

    I could understand if there was a problem with the cartridge and it was rejected as soon as I installed, but does not understand why this happens between the printing of pages.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Thank you

  • HP Photosmart 8450 printing error

    I have installed my HP Photosmart 8450 (using the hp site because I don't have my original installation disk) & whenever I try to print anything (including a test page) I get an error message...

    Or 'Printing on HP photosmart 8400 error series' "S in an error state" printer"" "

    My computers (laptop) operating system is: Windows8 (64-bit)

    I have already tried to "Troubleshooting" & installed the print/scan doctor & he did his work & said there is nothing to detect & I continued with the test & still can't print.

    I know the printer is working because I can put sticks of memory in the printer & print directly from the printer (no pc), but it seems that the computer & printer just are not interconnected

    Hi belleeyes,

    I did some research on these errors and found that they can be caused by cables that are not properly connected, corrupt, drivers, incompatible drivers, the printer settings, missing updates and problems with your printer. I recommend looking for defects found in the link below to fix the problem:

  • Photosmart 6510 "Printer Error" and all lights flash

    I have a 1.5 years, Photosmart 6510 B211a who works well. Now, all lights are flashing and or my USB connected PC (Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit), or my iPad or iPhone (OS 7) connected wireless will be printed.

    When the printer is turned on it goes as usual, wireless and power light stay on and displays correctly (Apps, Snapfish, Photo, copy, Scan), I can print from all devices.

    Symptoms:

    1. in ~ 5 minutes, no noise, all LEDs (displays the screen "Please turn printer then turn it on again."

    2 "(Printer Error is lit above screen, lights beside screen and power and wireless) starts to blink in unison"

    printer does not print

    3, every 10 seconds, a very low "short moan" noise, like something is trying to move inside the printer

    4. when power is cycled it will again be print normally for about 5 minutes and then stop again with flashing lights.

    Have you tried the following.

    1. hard reset (more than once - fired power and USB)

    2. uninstalled and reinstalled software and drivers

    For any help or suggestion will be appreciated.

    Possible solution

    I had the same problem when I moved the printer to a new PC. To end, I decided to change the USB port to which the printer is connected to. well, it worked! Printer now work correctly for wired operation and wireless.

    Not sure if I got a bad USB port or that the cable was not seated properly, or if the USB port had no authority to provide the connection to the printer.

    Hope this helps someont with this problem.

  • Photosmart 8450, I need all the cartridges printing black documents?

    The Photosmart 8450 printer can accommodate 3 cartridges.  I use this printer to print black-and-white documents.  I wonder if I can buy only a cartridge instead of the 3.  If so, what cartridge should I buy and where should I use?  Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    Unfortunately, you will need to buy all the cartridges AND you can configure only black & white print (in grayscale).

    Kind regards.

  • Magicolor 2300 DL Printer-Laser - Black: Toner low

    I just replaced all 4 with compatible toners - provided by printerinks.com.

    There is no problem with the color toners, BUT the new black toner message remaining 2%.

    The provider to replace the cartridge - no change to the error message.

    I complained to the Manager and he sent another cartridge free of charge.

    This black cartridges produced the message 0%.

    Whatever the 0% the printer continues to print black OK except that now, there seems to be tiny streaks (almost swaths) in color images.

    I had the printer a number of years and not encountered this problem before.

    This problem is possible if the cartridges are too full, or what else could it be?

    You should be contacting the manufacturer of the printer for the best help.  The industry of ink and toner (printer industry and) is, in my view, shady.  Ink and toner are by far and away the main source of income for the printer manufacturers and they often integrate chips in cartridges that are detected by the printer and if a chip a non-fabricant (or any piece) is detected, the printer will misbehave or are reluctant to the cartridge.  Third-party ink cartridges may have several problems because there is no guarantee they are not already be used cartridges that are not prepared to charge properly or filled correctly.  In addition, any ink cartridge may have some things go wrong with it, if filled out correctly or not.  I gave up third-party ink and toner.  I find that I spend less buying cartridges that are approved by the manufacturer because they usually work for me and the savings to purchase compatible cartridges is not sufficient to overcome the extra money I was paying to buy replacement cartridges for those who failed.  Ink and toner is one of the largest scams of our time.
