HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m: color ink not printing...

• HP Photosmart Premium c309g-m PDF does not print correctly

  Am under Win XP. have HP Photosmart Premium c309g-m; running the last printer driver; printer connected wirelessly, using Adobe Reader 11.0.0.4.  In other words, I'm under the last printer driver and the latest version of the Adobe Reader software.  Everything prints fine except PDF.  See the PDF file in Adobe Reader, the print preview looks good, but I get blank pages on the printer with most of the settings.

  The pdf document is black and white.  I feel better if I say the HP print driver to print color and say the Adobe Reader print dialog for 'print picture '.  The output is readable, but much too weak.  Same results when you run the same configuration of printing on Windows 7.

  HP produces a printer whose driver is able to print PDF documents properly?  If so, I would consider buying one.

  Hi FeralUrchin,

  Thanks for the reply. No problem at all!  I'm glad that the replacement printer works very well.  If you have problems in the future feel free to go on the forum or contact the helpline.  Here is a link for the global coordinates for any future reference if necessary. Click here

• Photosmart HP 7510: Single color does not print

  Hello

  Does not print the magenta color. I put a new cartridge in (both are new and not expired).

  As requested by another post on this page, I have cleaned the contacts on the cartridge and printer with clear water. Did not help.

  I ran a printed report that says in the text that all is well, but the magenta is very slightly ridged (so not quite Miss).

  One of the ideas for what I can try next? Appreciate any help you can offer.

  THX!

• Extremely slow printing wireless with HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m

  I see extremely slow print speeds when printing from a Mac or a Windows XP system on a new printer HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m wireless. The printer starts printing immediately when I request a print, but it only prints one line. It will take about 15 minutes then to print the rest of the page, each print after a very long break line. Print demo page doesn't exhibit this problem, only documents of programs such as Word 2008, Safari, and Firefox (I tried firefox on PC and Mac) are affected.
  
  If I connect to the printer via a USB connection it prints very well, so this problem seems to be the only wireless printing.
  
  Printer: HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m
  Computer: Mac mini (late 2009 model) (also tried a Windows XP laptop, by comparison using the latest drivers from the HP website)
  OS: Mac OS X 10.6.2 with all available updates installed
  Method of connection: cable Ethernet connection to the router wireless
  Printer drivers: version 2.2.1 (Apple provided, drivers HP never installed as system comes with 10.6)
  Wireless router: Apple TimeCapsule (early 2009) 1 TB, honing a/d and modes of b/g on 2.4 and 5 GHz. TimeCapsule is in transition as the DSL modem handles DHCP service mode
  Encryption: WPA2 Personal, no MAC filtering or hide the SSID.

  IP addressing scheme: all addresses are distributed by the server DHCP without reservation of any kind

  The TimeCapsule is sitting three inches from the printer and the printer indicates the complete signal. Connecting the printer to the wireless network and setup of the printer on the Mac went off without a hitch. Only when you print a test document discover us the problem. The wireless network will behave as expected when you access Internet from Mac and Windows devices (tested with a laptop computer Dell XP and a MacBook with OS X 10.6.2), so I don't see any problem with the wireless network together.
  
  Attempt to use:
  1 reboot and power off, wait, restart the computer
  2 reset the print subsystem, the printer off and on again and reinstall the printer

  3. disconnect the power to the printer and let it sit for several minutes before trying to print wireless.
  
  None of them worked.

  I don't know exactly what is happening... I'll have to think about.

  Looks like you're running with the current configuration.

  Can we call this resolved?

• HP Photosmart Premium C309g do not print black ink

  Hello

  My HP Photosmart Premium C309g (CD055A) will not print black ink even if the cartridge is full. He's going through the motions of printing but the pages come out blank. It prints colors, they are not as dark as before, so I know that black is not working. I have cleaned the print heads, turned off the printer, unplug the printer, restarted the computer, but nothing works. I get colors on the report of the print quality, but the printer status report comes out blank. I bought a new black ink cartridge (564XL) think the previous one was defective (levels showed a 75% ink) but I still have the same problem. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you.

  Hey,.

  I see you have done some troubleshooting on the issue of the print quality that you are experiencing.  I would make sure you did all the troubleshooting steps available for your research problem in the document following the link.

  Print colors are the colors should not when the C309 Photosmart Premium printing.

  If you have completed all these steps, then I check the status of your printer warranty.  If it is out of warranty, you should consider the solution provided by Bob_Headrick in the thread found here.

  Hope this helps,

• HP Photosmart premium c309g-m not scanning

  I have a HP photosmart premium c309g-m all-in-one that I'm trying to use wireless with my HP laptop running windows 7.  I can print fine wireless but I can't scan to my computer, I tried to use the controls on the printer as well as windows fax and scan.  It will allow me to scan from the printer to a memory card (although when I try to load the jpeg scanned on my memory card on my computer, it shows) also infected but I can't scan to my computer.

  Technical support said there Firewall Norton 360 but when I contacted Norton they disabled the firewall and it still does not, and now tech support said I'm a month out of warranty and will not help me unless I pay and I am reluctant to pay to get the same answers I receive for 9 months now so I thought that maybe someone here could save me money and help me.  I'm also tired of the pass the blame game of: oh, it's for lack of qwest, now it's the fault of windows 7, then it's lack of norton, I even had a tech tell me it was my fault that this printer can not scan wireless but it worked before on my old network.

  When I ran the diagnostic scan it says no scanner installed so we re-installed the software, the updated drivers, but it still says the scan driver is corrupted or missing and it cannot update the driver.  When I run the diagnostic utility that he says no printer not found on the network, but still the printer says no problems found and the network is configured correctly and I still have no problem of wireless network printing I just can't scan.  Please help me!

  If anyone has this problem I finally solved it, (no thanks to HP technical support) here's how:

  I disabled my firewall, I reinstalled the software from the Web site (once again) then I found this download for a software fix http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-77751-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=4063&product=3793676&sw_lang= (even if I've never had Vista on this computer only windows 7 so I have not upgraded) after that I went on the start menu to HP , HP photosmart premium c309g and finished install the software then restarted and it worked.  Since then the only time where I had a problem was when my computer is closing because of low battery and when I'm back from fashion 'sleep' my printer has been disconnected and the scanner n "t work so I rebooted and the printer and the scanner worked perfectly!

• Can print but not scan: HP Solution Center says "HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m is disconnected!

  Hello

  I have a PC with Windows Vista Home version 6 service pack 1 for her, a connected HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m wireless printer, my work of connection Wi - Fi and is detected by the printer, but I can not scan anything from the HP Solution Center as it says "HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m is disconnected!

  I printed a wireless test page and it works.

  Any help will be appreciated!

  Thank you

  Catherine.

  Catherine, looks that you encounter some problems scanning on your computer. To start have you tried completely removing the softwware and put it back in place for drivers on the HP site downloads? Here's how I'd do...

  First of all, if you use a USB cable, be sure to remove it (it's important). Do not plug it in again until the software instructs you. Through devices and printers, programs and features and issues Device Manager and make sure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. As indicated, and then restart the computer.

  In the menu START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here, I want you to press Ctrl + A, and press DELETE. Some files you cannot delete them, ignore these files and delete the majority that allows it to.

  Download this file and if the option to use the full setting software.

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&product=3793676&

  Install and let me know the result!

  Have a great day!

  -Spencer

  PS I recommend to try installing the printer via the USB cord and an Ethernet cord if this does not work wireless, to test methods of communication. Let me know which, if any, works.

• Photosmart Premium C309G not detected during installation with wired network connection on Win 7 64 bit

  During the installation of the drivers and software on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit computer laptop, (previously upgraded from Vista), the installation software can't find the Photosmart Premium C309G, even if I provide IP address, that is on the same subnet. Same printer installed on three other computers on the same network for Windows XP. It is possible to find via windows 7 Add Printer function by using the appropriate base driver, but then if I try to print, it cannot print the test page, printing garbage, after much time and erases never status "printing" in the queue until I manually cancel. There is an Ethernet cable on the home network.

  The first thing to check is your firewall.  Disable the Windows Firewall and the firewall of your security system and try the installation again.

  If you had this printer installed on Vista, you can simply add this patch.  It's only for the patch software Vista works on Win 7, so if this is not the case, do not take into account.

• Photosmart Premium c309g fails to print - product number CD055A

  Operating system - Windows 7 Home Premium - Hardware is a laptop

  Error message - Document cannot print

  Changes to the system - None until the problem occurred

  Wireless printing worked very well; then suddenly unable to print.

  1. have uninstalled and installed the printer drivers and the solution Center

  2 solution Center shows printer is connected

  3 analysis function works correctly in scan mode

  4. the ink levels are displayed correctly

  5 scan doctor indicates all functions work correctly

  6 print in Photosmart Office on line Ethernet router to the printer

  7 have you checked the network (domestic) IP addresses; Looks OK, also supported by the fact the remote scan document works

  8 HP update indicates all functions of driver is up to date.

  9. tried to follow all the built in troubleshooting guides

  But, when a test page prints in the properties of the printer or the Scan Doctor (even though the doctor scan gave all the controls green), the test page will not print, and finally the error "Unable to print document" appears in the solution Center. Process seems to timeout and then displays the error message.

  During the process of re-setup the only thing that I have noticed and which may be out of the ordinary, was the printer to be selected was noted as "wired". The installation process then set up the wireless connection and noted that the all-in-one printer has been connected. But so do print function does not work and the remote scan function.

  I see an another item which is strange. Two icons of the printer are set up in the printers and faxes. One is HP Photosmart Premium c309g and HPFDFC41 (HP Photosmart Premium c309g-m). Why two Photosmart devices?

  Followed all the recommended steps. It is interesting to note that during the installation of the full feature printer was still noted as a wired connection. However, the network connection has been implemented and worked successfully.

  Encountered the same problem. State of the document scan and ink has been authorized; but they could not print a test page.

  A ran the doctor printer and Scan; all boxes have been checked green.

  A run the hardware installation wizard. This time the S/W noted that the printer has a wireless connection. The analysis of test ran successfully; but the case of test printing, after several seconds, resulted in a 'document cannot print."  This seemed to be the idea or the "a needle in a haystack" for me, the error was apparently issued on a timeout.

  Has looked for something else (outside drivers etc.).

  The solution:

  McAfee firewall, after several years, it has failed and has chosen to block the printer communication, while leaving all the rest alone. I had not changed any settings or authorized programs.

  McAfee is no longer with me. Am to assess competitors. In the meantime have enabled the Microsoft Firewall. Can print successfully from the laptop through the router to the wireless printer wireless.

  I know just enough to get me in trouble, so don't know if HP diagnostic tools should have picked up the fact that communications were being blocked or not. But, I appreciate the comments and troubleshooting tips.

  I hope that fixed the problem.

• HP Photosmart C6180 Magenta Ink not printing

  error message: no

  description of the problem: Magenta Ink not print not EXCEPT on the page that prints after aligning the print cartridge printing is performed. At the bottom of this page, the bars of yellow, Cyan and Magenta print perfectly, just like the mixture of the color shown in the colorful bird printed below the bars.

  Self Test Diagnostic Page is printed with bars No. Light Magenta or Magenta, under print quality model. State of ink and level for both shows like OK magenta and 100%

  Troubleshooting: I ran repeated cycles of head cleaning and aligning the print cartridge print without changing the output. The page that prints after cleaning has NO magenta bars or lines. Seems the page that prints after alignment. Via e-mail support, I was directed to perform a complete reset "semi" and "the NVM reset" - neither of these had no effect. Magenta inks have been replaced, but the problem persists.

  Exchange: the printer had not been used for several months.

  My printer started working. It had been disconnected and sitting for several months. I turned it to try the HP solutions (below) and found that it worked - I had nothing to do!  In any case, I hope this can help some of you with similar problems:

• Photosmart Premium c309g-m: cannot print from word and excel files

  Hello

  My question previous (25/02/2016 09:44) problems with the HP Solution Center has been resolved today - I can open the program and I can scan.

  But now I can not print word and excel files - the paper is completely empty. I can print emails from google, but they are difficult to read.

  In Control Panel, devices and printers, I have until now had a HP printer: HP0BAC44 (HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m) but now I also have the printer: HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m (Standard). Who would have something to do with the problem? I tried printing from two of them, but the result is the same as mentioned above.

  Can you help me please?

  Thank you

• printer photosmart premium c309g set up failed

  My HP photosmart premium c309g (wireless connected to the network) is visible on my laptop but not on my computer by cable with windows xp, at least not by the HP software I have installed.

  The printer used to work on the computer. I don't know what I did so that it stops working. To solve the problem, I uninstalled the software and installed it again. The problem still exists.

  I tried the hp doctor. The printer does not appear. (The software showed a usb printer which was not connected at all)

  Is there a solution?
