HP Photosmart B8550 printer Out Of Paper error message

I have a HP Photosmart B8550 who insists on the fact that I'm paper little matter how much is in the main tray.  Whenever I try to print from my computer or just running test page, I get the error message "Out of Paper".   This problem occurred about two weeks after the expiration of the warranty of the printer.

The last thing that he print with success was a sign of sale on fluorescent stock heavy.  I tried cleaning the rollers as others suggested online and found a few red residue, probably from the sign.  It does not have the printer works however.

Someone else suggested to remove the upper plate and forcing a piece of paper through by hand to get it going again.  If I push a sheet of paper upward to meet the internal reels view and print a single page but it does not take any other paper on its own.  It just goes back to what the message OF PAPER.

How is the document that is supposed to be pulled up to the rolls? Now that the top plate has been removed, I see an arm with two black rolls down on paper when PRINTING is affected, but they do not seem to turn. They just sit there for a few seconds and then back up just before ON PAPER will start to blink.

Any suggestion or destroyed independent feeding mechanism? Is there maybe a sensor that is clogged?  If Yes, where is it located and how can it be cleaned?

There is a document to find errors on paper on Photosmart 8000 series printers located here.

If these steps do not fix the problem, then a hardware problem has developed in the feeding mechanism and your best option will be to replace the printer. Have you thought about contacting HP Support on the upgrade program?

  • HP Envy 120 printer prints OK but the error message after each document

    After upgrading the firmware in my printer, I now get a window pop up with the title, "Unable to communicate with printer" at the end of each document.  The error message should be cleared before the next document in the queue will print.  Each document prints correctly despite the error message.

    Another thing that may cause this condition besides the update of the firmware is this: I have set up my printer for wireless printing, which worked OK.  However, I am currently using the printer with a wired USB connection.  Of course, the version non-reseau of the printer is selected as my printer 'default' regarding this error report.  The update of the firmware was held at the same time that change this "setup".

    Hey @rrbNevada,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that your printer HP Envy 120 seems to have an error "Unable to communicate with the printer" after each print job is printed and this problem seems to have started after an update of the firmware running and change your connection type. Maybe it's a coincidence.

    For me to help you I need to know what operating system you print since?

    What is my OS?

    For now, I would like to run the print tool HP and doctor Scan. It is a practical tool that will 'fix print' questions automatically for you. It will scan the computer for any conflict of driver printer HP, connection problems and other issues that can cause problems with your printer. It will also try to fix these problems for you.

    HP Print and Scan Doctor

    If printing HP and doctor Scan fails to solve your problem, I recommend a complete uninstall and reinstall of your software and drivers for a clean slate to work with.

    Uninstalling the printer software

    After you have uninstalled the drivers and the printer software I need you to reinstall. To reinstall, I add two documents of reference below:

    Installation for USB under Mac OS X

    Installation of USB on Windows

    Because you use the printer for network and USB connections on your computer I suggest you first run installation from USB.

    Once the printer is installed for USB, then you can add in the wireless version.

    Adding a printer wireless on Windows:

    1. open the Printer Assistant software on your desktop. It should resemble a black printer icon and has your options of Scan inside.

    2. click on the 'utility' on the top tab

    3. click on 'software and configuration of the printer.

    4 enforce "connect a new device" for the network connection.

    This will add two copies of your printer and both will be implemented properly for scanning and printing.

    Adding a printer wireless on Mac:

    1. Click The HP utility icon in the Dock.

  • "Windows can't open add printer." Access denied error message. "When I want to add a printer for win 7 64 bit OS > see details below

    I can't reinstall my printer Epson WiFi is on my network. I recently installed a "update package" published on 11/04/2011 Epson. I have a HP Pavilion laptop g7 with windows 7 64-bit OS. I can't go back to "System Restore" to the date of my installation of update. I have an another HP laptop also on the network, and he has no problem printing. I reinstalled the Epson printer so I can print a page of the Epson, but windows does not recognize the drivers I am not able to print anything else. I can not add the same "a Note" as my printer because of the error message "Access denied" mentioned above. I have tried to install using the disc to Epson, and then after uninstalling all things Epson I installed on the Epson site. Note: I'm on the same network "workgroup" as the other laptop, however, when I go to my computer > network it shows 2 laptops, devices, multifunction, Network Infrastructure devices, printers and Scanners. The only difference between the 2 laptops in this area is that mine shows 'Gateway Internet' in the 'Network Infrastructure' and the other laptop shows router WiFi.

  • 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.

  • Out of paper error

    I have a HP Photosmart C4580. 6/30 I printed a document which was 16 pages long, but I lack of paper so he printed only 14 pages. I did not like about the other PMS & I deleted the document in the printer queue. It's always the delete document showing today 4 days later. The computer shows also that any new document that I try to print I got paper but I reloaded. I tried to turn on & off the printer, unplug the printer, turning on & computer turned off, taking the paper that I have only about 10 charged pgs & not it worked. I thought for sure it would at least clear the document which was the removal of the 30, but even that is still there. I was looking through the Middle directly on the printer & I was able to print the settings wireless & info, but I can still print anything from the computer. No word docs or anything directly on the net.  How can I delete the old document?  I think that's the problem with everything else.

    Help, please

    Don't know what happened, but the power output at home triggered a circuit breaker I don't have my battery of my laptop so the computer turns off. When I turned on the computer when we press the restart however the circuit breaker on that printer reproduces all of the document that has been stuck remove. The document was printed before but only 14 of the 16 pages. Thanks for the help though. I never had a chance to peruse the same until the circuit breaker is triggered.

  • Too small paper - error message

    My HP Photosmart print on plain paper, fine, but sometimes, when I put in the paper that measures identical to ordinary paper 8.5 "x 11", he refuses to print and gives me an error message indicating that my document is too small.  I'm trying to print on paper special "certificate".  When I cancel the print job (as shown in the error message), the printer easily passes the paper through its roller guides so I know that's not interference or whatever it is.  I have no idea how to solve this problem.  Help, please!

    I don't know how to turn it off.  However, you could fool the sensor by putting something on the dark spot (like a piece of white sticky note).  Only, the sensor measures the paper to the top edge of a very, very (perhaps 5mm high), then assumes that the document is the same width along its length.  Crazy of this area and you'll be in business.

  • HP Photosmart B110: cannot install drivers, USB error message

    Hello! I'm stuck installing the software/drivers for my printer.

    I bought a new computer and everything worked fine until I tried to install the printer. I get this error message, and I can't move, so I can't use the printer

    This is a screenshot of the Setup error:

    It's strange and I don't think it's really a problem of USB, I have many more devices connected via USB and printer is the only one that gives problems. I also tried to plug it into all possible USB of my motherboard without result.

    I also downloaded the drivers up-to-date for my motherboard, I've even updated the BIOS to the latest version, without result.

    I can see the printer detected from the control panel of configuration/printers, but he said to the drivers installed.

    I'm out of ideas... I don't know what to do, please help >. <!

    Thank you!!

    Hello
    Click the Start button and type folder in the search bar, then open the Temp folder indicated.

    Open the last HP installation folder that begins with 7z (e.g. 7zs1234)
    Open the installation folder.
    Find the file usbready.exe and rename it to usbready.old.exe
    Navigate to the main extraction folder (folders that begins with 7z) and run the Setup.exe file.

    Now follow the installation and check for the difference.

    Hello numuc95.

    I guess that the printer is installed network? Have you tried to install the printer with a USB cable? This seems to work best for access to the card reader.

  • I want to add a printer, but get the error message "print spooler service does not work."

    I can't print from my computer.  This has happened with no other visible defects on the computer or the printer.

    When I use the printer in case of problem, and hit the 'add printer' link, I get the error message "print spooler service is not."

    "I did a search on"print spooler"but got no result

    Often, but not always, the symptoms you describe are caused by a corrupt print job stuck in the queue or a damaged printer driver.  However before you clean things up, on general principles, that you can download, install, update and run full scans with each of these two free programs:

    AntiMailware MalwareBytes
    SUPERAntiSpyware

    Do not operate the two scans simultaneously.  Each will take a long time, so start it and then go do something else for a while.

    Cleaning of printers

    NOTE: If after completing step has the print spooler is not always running after you launched the command "net start spooler", you will not be able to follow all the steps in "First Article".  Instead, go to the other link and download and get and use the utility 'cleanspl' such as described here.

    If the suggestions below do not resolve your problem, after back and don't forget to include the following information:

    • The version of Windows you have, including service pack (start > run > winver > OK)
    • The brand and model of printer you have (includes the manufacturer, model and model number, as in HP Deskjet 6800)
    • How the printer is connected to the computer (parallel, USB, network, wireless, etc.).
    • It happened just before this symptom started
    • What application antivirus you have and if your subscription is up to date and has been maintained continuously
    • The full text of the error messages related to printing, without paraphrasing


    A. Clean on print jobs pending

    • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    • Type the following in the black command prompt window, and then press ENTER after each line

    net stop spooler
    del/q '% windir%\system32\spool\PRINTERS\*.* '.
    net start spooler
    output

    B. clean the old printer drivers and install the latest drivers by using the directions in One Article.  If you have (or had) a Lexmark printer, follow the instructions on the following site before installing the new drivers, as explained in its first Article: http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm
