HP Photosmart C309a: Hp Photosmart C309a print issues

I bought a new Black XL cartridge and installed, but after printing for a day, it will not print black ink. The level indicates that the cartridge is half full with ink.  I aligned the print heads and cleaned the print heads. I used the Print and Scan doctor on the computer, but is to show that everything is fine. I'm running out of options to solve the problem.

I found this solution for 309 a does not print black.

I hope this helps with your question.

  • Photosmart 3310 printing issue - apparently ink leaks and failures of alignment

    Hi, sorry to bother but I am facing a problem with an All - In - One Photosmart 3310.

    -I am running windows XP.

    -L' printer is connected to several for my private with band wifi LAN.

    N ' got no code error on the question

    -All used within the printer cartridges are genuine HP and photo paper was also 10 x 15 HP (the one provided with the packs of cartridges).

    -L' printer is a little over 4 years now and he has his crazy suddenly two days ago. The printer has not been moved or damaged, it simply sound suddenly started printing blue black & white text characters and ended with the ink.

    As I have already experienced similar problems with some other printers, I well as cleaning cartridges and lining up, but it has not changed anything. I finally changed all 6 white ink by new ones, but all the same. I cleaned again, tried to align, but once again, no possible way to achieve alignment. "Alignment failed" came out at this stage.

    Here are some pictures to illustrate because I tried several impressions to make sure it wasn't a short-term problem be resolved with cleaning or alignments: photo printer problem

    It should be noted that no two prints come out the same way, some are mainly blu, other yellow or green...

    At this point, I didn't Kow where to start with this problem. There seems to be a leak in the print head (assuming that the magenta) and another leak with the blue wire (it can not see on the pictures, located at the bottom of the left hand side, but could not get any pic suited because of the plastic on the printer cover.

    So, I'm wondering the following things:

    -What a sound suddenly went to the printer?

    -It worth repair?

    -How to proceed?

    Any ideas? Thanks in advance for reliable advice.

    Alignment is probably a failure because of the incorrect colors being printed on the page. The printer scans each line or section of the alignment page using a special sensor inside the printer and check all colors from ink and their bosses and investment. If one of them is not what the printer is expected to be, the alignment will fail. I don't know what film you're referring. But I don't think it matters, as the cause of the failure of the alignment is quite obvious.

    I don't think it's possible for you to do something to solve this problem. Take it to a service center would be a better option, cos they have the tools and the expertise and training to do such things.

    The upgrade process differs from one country to another. I'm not sure of European countries, but in the United States, you can call the support technology and upgrade to a new printer with similar features as yours. HP has TS lines for printers, which is very different from Smart Friend. You must pay any fees to call them and talk to them. If you are in the United States, call 1-800-474-6836 and choose Photosmart all-in-One printer as your product to be transferred to the printer Dept

  • Trouble installing software Cener Solution for C309a printer all in one

    I've had my C309a printer for a few years now and it has worked well.  My old computer died and I had to get a new one.  I have problems to get the installed Solution Center software.  I am running Windows 7 64 bit.  I downloaded the latest software from the hp Web site.  I followed all the steps as instructed.  The printer is recognized and I can print from Word.  I can't get the solution center to load.  When I run the installation of the software on the HP website (PS_AIO_05_C309a_Net_Full_Win_enu_140_047) it goes through all the steps, but hangs at the end, then a "fatal error-wStub 459426" appears.  An error log is produced, followed by a placed file on my desktop named "HP Installation error - Windows 7".  I followed all the steps up to the wired installation step 2 D.  That is to turn off anti-virus firewall and anti and software programs.  Same error message with a different number after '-wStub ' fatal error message.  I'm at my wits end here.  Installation install photosmart essentials 3.5, but not the Solution Center software.  I need this to scan my documents!  When I try to scan from the console printer, I get an error message on the printer cannot connect to the computer screen saying.

    I have downloaded and run diagnostic printer HP program tools, print and scan the doctor, who tells me that I need the Solution Center software installed.  I don't type what I said to a diagnostic conclusion.  I followed the steps in this program without success either.

    I'm completely puzzled here. Can someone help me?

    Yes, I would recommend going through the uninstall of the printer of all these places, we went in front. Clean every time we go a little deeper and making one further.

  • HP Photosmart C309 printing blank pages

    Hello

    I have a HP Photosmart C309a printer which has worked well until recently. The problem seems to have started after the tray of food thing was hit and fall, but it is difficult to say for sure because I didn't print a few weeks after that. There is no visible damage to the tray, and it will lock in place without problem. Now it is just printing blank pages.

    I did a test print (print quality report), and this is what came out:

    http://i281.Photobucket.com/albums/kk222/coolbeverage/SCAN0008.jpg

    If I remember correctly, there are two black cartridges in your printer, the smallest with the symbol looks like two triangle pointing together, is the photo black ink, it is only used for printing photos. The greatest with the symbol of the Pentagon is ink black text. If the printer reports that non-empty black ink, but do not print text black (after 'cleaning print head'), there could be only two things, I'm afraid:
    1. the black printhead is dead and need replaced. or
    2. the passage of the ink cartridge to the print head does not, it will take a professional service (repair).

    He ran once before, one of my suggestions of solution was the coil (?)  was incorrectly, but don't know how to adjust it

    Hello
    (1) have you made changes before the start of this issue?
    (2) what is the exact error message/code?
    A print spooler is software that temporarily stores the disk printing hard or in memory until the printer is ready to print. If you were expecting an abnormally long time to print a document, or if you see an error message about the print spooler, Spooler subsystem or spooler resources, you might need to change and then restart the print spooler service on your computer.

    To do this, we recommend that you save your work and restart the computer to restart the print spooler service. If you do not want to restart the computer, try these steps.

    To change or restart the print spooler service

    You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.

    a. click the Start button, Control Panel, click System and Maintenance and then click Administrative Tools.

    b. double-click on Services. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    c. right-click on the print spooler service and then click Properties.

    d. on the general tab, next to startup type, make sure that automatic is selected.

    e. If the service is not already running, under Service status, click Start and then click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  • Photosmart C3180 prints text scrabbled

    I have (2) printers Photosmart C3180, each on separate Wxp Pro Sp3 desktop computers.  Sometimes a single printer starts printing printing text scrabbled in the middle of a page or image.  Sometimes, the scrabbled text is spread (one line at a time) on several pages, and I turn off the printer to stop it.  The other printer worked properly all the time.

    I ran the latest HP printer/Scan diagnosis tool and pointed out just as good.  I even moved the printer on another computer with a new installation and I still have the occasional print issue.  Turning off the printer and the print jobs always restarting.  I disabled the advanced features of the printer, but that did not help.  HP update indicates no updates needed, but MS Update (2) optional updates (DOTUSB, DOTPRT) for my C3180 printer.  What are MS knows that HP does not work?  Which solves the update of MS (as there is no detail or back links to MS)?

    Updates, that you wonder are updated to Microsoft to improve the functioning of your printer via USB and to improve the functioning of your printer with the print spooler.  These updates will not solve the problem you are having, but this document should help you work in a fix.  Most of the time, the problem is caused by a defective USB cable.  Let me know what happens.

  • 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
