iMac will not print correctly to Photosmart 2610xi

I am running Snow Leopard and tried to install the original software using the CD for the printer so I can use the scan features. That did not work, so I went and downloaded the latest software suite on the site of HP for Snow Leopard. The printer responds, but the stalls and then prints a line of nonsense, then keeps continuous and ongoing. I have to stop the print job to stop smoking. Other computers on my home network print on the printer fine (Windows machines).

I also tried the uninstall of the software suite, remove the printer and add it again. Nothing has worked. I get an error when you install the printer on the iMac that some of the software of the printer is missing and it may not work. Available at HP software installation does not solve anything.

The software from the remnants of left of CD in your system that the standard uninstall program did not remove.  Reinstall the software from the CD, and then remove it with the option "scrubber":

Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP
Click on continue
Highlight your device in the left pane
Hold down the Ctrl and Opt Cmd and click on uninstall
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall all hp software. (At this point, if you continue, all HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click on continue and let it finish

Restart your Mac

Now run a software update.

Then, remove and reinstall the printer in System Preferences, Print & Fax.

You do not have the software now since Snow Leopard as well print & scan drivers built-in. scan from Preview apps or Image Capture. Scan from the front panel of the printer does not work yet.

  • iMac will not print to Deskjet 3050 a

    Hello

    I'm running an iMac in early 2008 with the operating system upgraded to OS X 10.7.2.  including all updates.  Just bought a Deskjet 3050 a and downloaded the software HP istall to the address on the HP site.

    Spent by the installation procedure except when it came to the question "install that Print" it didn't come with the identifier of the printer only.  so I couldn't continue.  Printing of diagnostic said no problems found congratulations on successful installation, etc.  However, even if the printer is connected it will not print.  What can I do?

    AHA!  I also noticed you are using a D-Link Extender, which indicates that you don't have a router.  According to your description of your Internet configuration, the device emitting IP (DHCP server) addresses is likely on a device outside your home.

    If this is the case, this device is likey to not allow devices to "talk" to each other on his network.

    If replace you your range extender with a router and all devices connected to the system should work perfectly.  Thoughts?

  • Black ink cartridge will not print in HP Photosmart Plus B209

    I have had this printer for years.  I had a few problems here and there, but it was basically a machine reliable and quality.  A week or two ago, my HP black ink cartridge ran out.  I tried an ink cartridge not HP for the first time.  (Gasp!)  It did not work.  I assumed it was less and I pulled it.  I then installed a new HP black cartridge 564XL.  But still no black ink is printed.  I ran 'clean' in the Tools menu print head several times.  I cleaned the electrical contacts.  I made sure that the evacuation of cartridge area was clear.  I removed the cartridges, unplugged for a minute or two and reinstalled them.  Nothing has worked.  Probably put in this cartridge not HP for a few minutes is not totally destroy my printer!   Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Well, this printer has been crossed at my nearest store Big Box Office Supply for recycling.  I ordered a new printer (* certainly * NOT a HP!) and it will be delivered today.  HP, when figure you you lose your faithful?  There was a time I thought that all that HP was almost sacred in the world of technology.  No more, no more.

  • Photosmart HP 5510 - will not print using black ink

    I have problems with my HP Photosmart 5510 all-in-One printer, because it will not print in black. All cartridges are brand new and are genuine HP cartridges. I've never used anything other than HP cartridges, and I believe that I have would be considered a very light printer user.

    I use a HP Pavilion Desktop PC (Vista Home Premium) connected to the printer via a USB cable.

    I have to 'reset' the printer (power cable removed for 20 seconds), I cleaned the print heads and tried to re-alignment of the printer.

    I ran HP print and Scan diagnostics and do the message "Everything out OK with your product." I then print a test page which "fails", that there is no black ink in use. The diagnosis confirms that the ink levels are all OK and that my printer uses HP authentic and than Normal inks or better quality is selected.

    The printer is a little over a year old and as mentioned has had very light use.

    There is no error - every reason to believe that everything is OK.

    I wish I had a solution to this problem.

    As by chance my previous printer a HP Photosmart 3210 all-in-One failed in a similar way, although in this case, the black was fine, it was impossible to print colors correctly. Once the printer was just out of warranty.

    Curiously enough and fortunately like few others on the forum a few days after the installation of the new cartridge, it seems to work perfectly fine again.  any ideas as to why this happens?

  • Series 6510 Photosmart will not print at all, or very light ink, after the installation of the Mavericks

    21/01/14 hi support community - after having installed the Mavericks a few weeks ago, I can no longer print to my HP Photosmart 6510 of any of my devices Mac: MacBook Air, iMac, or iPad.  The printer acts like it is printing, even if the result is either no impression on the page or something almost too small to see, with weird colors. I replaced all ink cartridges.   I was on MAC support forums and have done everything suggested, i.e. reinstall the printer, reset the printer, so that reset each device.  The printer will not print a test page.

    I need to use my printer.  Help please!  Thanks, Bonnie

    RESOLVED (I think).  After posting my question, I continued to search for possible answers.  After starting from scratch, I followed the instructions and others have left regarding the problems of scanning.  Seems that whatever it either which has interfered with printing can also lead to the (logical) scanning.  I have no idea what exactly 'fixed' my printing problem even if at the moment everything seems to work.  (I did not scan anything - and this time not afraid of)

    Thank you to everyone who takes the time to write clear troubleshooting advice for us non-tech people who have to find out things about ourselves.   Bonnie 12:30, 21/01/14

  • Photosmart B109a-m printer suddenly will not print.

    My Photosmart B109a-m printer suddenly will not print. It worked last night and no connections or settings have been affected since then.  It will not print the test page and the printer Utulity advises that means a problem with the printer, not the computer.  The computer shows it sends data to the printer and indicates that it is printing but nothing happens with the printer.  Any ideas how can I fix?  I'm on an iMac with Lion.

    How is the printer connected?

    Try to reset the printing system:

    -Go to System Preferences > print & Scan
    -Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - This will remove ALL your printers!
    -Select the sign more to add a printer. Select the default tab on the top of the window. Search for the printer, select it, and wait until the button 'Add' becomes available. Until it clicks.

  • New Photosmart 5520 will not print in black

    I have a new HP Photosmart 5520 printer all-in-one.  Black ink ran out so I replaced it with a previously used ink cartridge which is of the same type # 564 but a XL version.  This cartridge has been barely used.  Now, I just can't get anything to print in black.  It will print in color, but not black.  I tried to turn off the printer.  I put the cartridge in my printer and it worked fine.  What should I do?

  • HP Photosmart 2610 says that it will not print, because the transport is stuck, but it is not

    my HP Photosmart 2610 all-in-one, said that he will not print because the transport is blocked. Well, he is not stuck. Yet, I can't print. I printed close to 20 000 cards because I bought and installed printer. What should I do? can you recommend a printer to buy. Looks like it's ready for the 'OS' yard HELP.  PAUL LACNY * address email is removed from the privacy *.

    Hello

    Perhaps he is worn and requires little (routine) maintenance (20,000 sheets is a lot of printing).

    As OEM HP is responsible for the good operation of the printer and their drivers. Check with
    HP support, their documentation online and drivers and ask in their forums.

    Good luck, you need to update or reinstall the latest driver.

    There are three models, so enter-> Photosmart 2610 - in the link of the HP driver and select the version
    you have - then select your version of Windows.

  • PHOTOSMART 5520 WILL NOT PRINT BLACK

    I just replaced the cartridges for my PHOTOSMART 5520.

    After that, color printing has no black color.

    All HP cartridges are not new.

    It's very frustrating.

    for some unknown reason, this problem is gone when I tried printing 2 weeks later.

    To summarize:

    I'm in the United States.

    I replaced the 4 cartridges again purchased at HP online.

    After that, the black will not print if I choose to print in color.

    But if I print in "black and white only", black is in fact works very well.

    I tried everything suggested in the web forum such as cleaning, alignment, prower AC cycle,... etc. He has not fixed the problem.

    I stop using the printer for 2 weeks. But yesterday, I try agin, then the problem is gone.

    I don't know what to say. Thanks to HP for assistance.

    Overall, the servie is nice - just called him several times.

  • yellow will not print photosmart c4280

    My printer will not print or scan colors yellow / green. It's a fairly new cartridge, so I don't know that I him have not used everything up and on the levels of food its fine. I don't get the error messages. And clean the heads of printing and the allinged I level 1 and 2.

    I advise to remove the Photosmart C4280 cartridges and clean the electrical contacts.  During this operation, I would go ahead and perform a reset of the ink system.  For more information about how to perform an ink system reset click here.

    In addition, there is a document for the resolution of bad color printing problems.  The document can be accessed here.

    • Also, try to run all 3 levels of the print head cleaning utility.  He is trying to force the ink holes in the print head to try to get back to the normal print quality.

    Let me know how it goes.
