• 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

• HP Photosmart all-in-one C309a: need help Urgent! -HP Photosmart all-in-one problem C309a Incompatible cartridge - 564 and 862

  Hello everyone.

  I am a happy user of HP Photosmart all-in-one printer and for many years never had a problem.  I always bought new 862 cartridges and it worked fine.  Recently, a friend brought me to Singapore two new series of cartridges, but the owner of the store said this is the new higher capacity cartridges.  I said why not?  Even better, in fact since the printer is a guzzler of ink!

  This is, because I tried to install these new cartridges, I always get the message "Incompatible cartridge" after what, I can't not access the printer.

  Can someone help me solve this problem?  The cartridges are exactly the same, so I suspect its something to do with the chip?  I tried all possible methods such as the re-installation of the cartridges, remove the carriage and re-setup, cleaning the cartridge chip, etc.

  Since I'm brought this printer back from China to Europe, I really need to solve this problem otherwise I'm stuck without a printer.  These cartridges are not available locally.

  I would be grateful any advice!  Thank you.

  Your printer can use cartridges of 864. Unless you call HP and have them reset the printer to your new country, you live. Only then these cartridges can be used if you can find them on the spot. Call HP.

  I replaced the old cartridge with a new one and the printer would not accept.    The message was - is

  (a) cartridge incompatible (even if it was the same as the former) or

  (b) poorly installed cartridge.

  With the help of two other members of the family, used for this printer, the cartridge was accepted and I was able to print 15 copies successfully until the printer started to play up again - as in (a) and (b) above.

  Please can anyone suggest what I can do next to get the printer to operate?

  I noticed your message on the message that you see on your Photosmart C4480 saying not "compatible ink cartridges. I would suggest that you try the steps in the guide below for this question.

  A 'cartridge problem', "Incompatible cartridge" or "Missing or damaged cartridge" Message appears on the computer or the printer control panel

• HP photosmart C4480: HP photosmart C4480 does not print colors

  I had other questions on this matter. Changed to the new color cartridge. The printer will print a new alignment page that has the color on it, but all the images or type I try to print in color out just black and white. I don't have an option of black and white levels in my print window. Also do not have a function of options as someone did in a similar question. Impossible to find anywhere in the preferences system, in the window print function buttons printer to specify the color and black and white.

  Never had this problem before using Windows or Mac computers. Printed of this same laptop several times over the years, no problem. This just started happening out of nowhere starts at the beginning of this summer. Same notebook printed in color in the office. No indication I need new drivers, tried to reinstall the printer just to be safe.

  Any ideas? !!

  Thank you!

• Pavilion x 64: HP Photosmart C4480

  I recently bought the HP Pavilion x 64 PC laptop, but my HP Photosmart C4480 will not be installed by using the startup disk.  The message says it's incompatible.  I can't believe that I have this gap because it is a very good printer even though old - any ideas on the installation.

  Thank you very much

  Well well since you made no mention of what operating system your computer is running, or what OS cd is supported by us would think.

• Photosmart C4480: Not printing in color documents

  Installed new cartridges, color works on all pages of test, but not in any application.

• HP Photosmart C4480 - blurry text when printing *.pdf

  Hi,

  I seem to be a common problem but can't seem to find a common solution. I have a printer [HP Photosmart C4480] who works well for ages. Now, however, seems to have problems printing pdf. As I said (or rather typed), This seems to be a common problem. In other sources on the internet, it is described as dark printed text or text that looks blurry (for example, here). It seems also the text is printed in a shade bluish the color of the font of the text itself is black. Just for the record:

  -J' restarted my computer. 3 times;

  -J' have 2 new hp original cartridge in the printer. The printer is aligned cleaned and everything;

  -L' printer is OK with other files (meaning not being not not *.pdf);

  -This isn't the files. They are ok. It's several files from several reliable sources (for example, my University) that all print sharp printers not HP. I would include a sample attachment, but I can't... O well. I'll add a link. You are here. (* Edit: link has been removed after the problem has been resolved).

  -The problem with the same printer on 5 consecutive laptops running Windows XP upwards and up to what Windows 8. All have the latest version of Adobe.

  -Adjustment of the color to print in black and white (only black and white) does not deny the problem.

  * Edit:-connected via USB.

  * Edit:-portable Test computer running Microsoft Windows 7 x 64 Home Premium (Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
  Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601).

  * Edit 2:-tried another cable USB (thanks for the suggestion Rich1!). Unfortunately, no results .

  * Edit 3:-problem solved partially. Software incompatibility between HP and Adobe. See the workaround. Only works for gray-scale printing.

  * Edit 4: Rich1 helped me to identify the problem. Seems that when printing the PDF files, the printer does not seem to use black ink and in turn simulates black by combining the primary colors (which gives all the quality of the results, where the blur). This problem also exists in Acrobat with Foxit substitution (for example).

  With sincere friendships.

  J

  I think I've solved the problem, even though it may persist in color prints.

  HP, this seems to be a widespread between the printing software and Acrobat Reader problem. I suggest that you find a more permanent solution. First mention of the problem lies in 2008 and it is widespread, but you seem to be ignorant.

  As to the question.

  This question seems to raise its ugly head after an update to Acrobat Reader. Several sources confirm this. As is the case, software HP seems to be an incompatibility with Acrobat Reader. It sucks because it is the most popular format for sharing on the internet of documents.

  As for the solution.

  1. do not use any web application to print. Save the file. Open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader;

  2. open the print menu [file > print];

  3. click [Advanced] at the top right of the screen.

  4. under color management, check that box to the left of something to the effect of "let the printer choose colors". (I have an English version of the software Acrobat Reader installed, bear with me. Press [OK];

  5. to return to the main print window, go to the menu of [Properties] in the top right of the screen. It should be next to the menu advanced;

  6. in the Properties menu, select the [color] tab. Once there, select an item to the effect of "print in grayscale". Directly under this option must be a menu drop-down. In this menu, select "use only black ink. Press [OK];

  7 print the file. As long as you print in black and white, the focus should be good.

  Hope this helps someone else! If you like my solution, give this guy there Rich1 some kudo is such that at least he had the kindness to answer and help me solve this problem.

  Thank you!

• Photosmart C4480: Copies of brands, does not print, makes a jump to page instead of print.

  WinXPSP3, 2bg RAM: Photosmart C4480 makes copies but does not print.  Print jobs sent to the cause of the printer that a page break without any movement of the ink cartridges, then the print job is deleted from the print queue, as if it was printed.  This printer was working fine for a long time and only recently started doing this.

  Thank you.  I'll try both suggestions.
