K209a: Questions of K209a printer inkjet

We always buy original cartridges.

Black has stopped working - only unique fine lines every inch or two have been printed to a PDF of the IRS form.

I removed both cartridges, ran water ove rthem and reinstalled them (after dry for days). Now, the ink barely readable. I put the color in green / violet /... to use the color cartridge.

At this point, I'm very frustrated and angry. It was the latest in inkjet HP printers that we bought!  Total consumption? Maybe 3 sets of cartridges. The printer was never moved or abused. and the scanner still works.

Thanks for reading.

    I have the printer inkjet Epson stylus C 45. When an ink cartridge Epson gets sold out and I replace this cartridge with an Epson cartridge refilled, the printer does not recognize this refill cartridge. As a result, no printing could be done. Is there a way to make the printer accepts the reloaded cartridges?

  • Quick question on network printing when you use e3000 in cascade mode

    HELO there! I'm new to the community and would be very happy if someone can help me please with a small question I have?

    I just got Verizon FiOs in my house and still have my old Linksys e3000 router. I was reading online that it is possible to configure as an another access point wireless or cascade to expand my wifi. However, I am in a pinch of becaue I have I used to print wireless from my laptop. My printers are connected by ethernet to my router. I don't know if I can make the LAN - LAN configuration so I was looking at the LAN - WAN configuration procedure, but he said something on that there are separate networks (2) instead of (1) if I like that. I'm unable to connect a wire from my Verizon for the Linksys router.

    So my question is, if I do LAN - WAN configuration cascading, I would be still able to print from my printers if they are always connected to the e3000 if I am connected to the main network? Or if I should move to the other network before printing?

    I apologize if my question makes no sense - I don't have a lot of experience with routers or the words with her.

    I would be very happy if someone could help me. Thank you!

    I followed this guide - http://www.linksys.com/ca/support-article?articleNum=132275

    Cascading E3000 LAN to LAN works perfectly with the existing configuration of the printer.

    In waterfall or connect a Linksys router to another router

    Things to keep in mind when cascading a second router:

    1. Change the IP address of the secondary router to something like 192.168.1.254 so its on the same network, but is not in conflict with the main router
    2. Make sure that the DHCP service is disabled on the secondary router
    3. Make sure that nothing is ever connected to the Internet port on the secondary router
  • Print separations non-PS printer (Inkjet)

    This has brought to the top, but for the life of me I can't find anything conclusive on this issue.

    I have a PS (an inkjet all-in-one) printer but you want to print separations. I wan't to print my own stencils of t-shirt and even check the work (on paper) before it goes to print.

    How is that possible? "Séparations" are grayed out when in the print dialog in Indesign and Acrobat.

    Any help is very appreciated,

  • Printer inkjet HP Envey 5540

    I have a HP envy 5540 injet printer, the first failure in the first 24 hours. the other still works that the problem is on stand-by for a few days, after that the printer will not print I can print a document, nothing, the only way is to restart the printer and then it will print the document I sent. I tried to request assistance from HP that I've done six times to date no sussess. have no solution to my problem, I have still 10 months left warenty.

    Barrie.

    These settings are to set up your wireless printer to stay connected to your router, wireless devices stay better connected and makes your router secure and hack proof.

    While the DHCP is convenient, devices like printers must always be assigned an IP (fixed) manually to avoid conflicts on your wireless network.

    1. Set a static in the printer IP address (click here) outside the range of the DHCP of the router (check your manual). It is for Linksys routers, but can be used for all routers. Check your DHCP range and change this first if necessary. More Help Wireless Printing is here (Windows solution 4, static IP).
    2. Or check in the printer that ' Auto Off/sleep/power saving mode ' is disabled the System Mode Time Out is set to zero (0) Use the built-in webserver (EWS) by visiting the printer address IP address in the address bar of your browser, click on settings tab/Auto Off. Or use the printer, printer Home Page (EWS) Wizard. Also check the properties of your printers.
    3. If the printer supports and has IPv6 enabled, disable the IPv6 option in the printer.
    4. If necessary and you have assigned a static IP address, try using auxiliary for the preferred DNS Server 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as DNS server.
    5. Wireless printers work on the band Wireless 2.4 Ghz not the band 5.0 Ghz.
    6. Make sure the printer is on the latest firmware by checking with the HP support site.
    7. Check all devices wireless in your home for interference. Check microwave, babyphones, phones, wireless and wireless alarm systems are a big culprit.  Any of these will knock at your printer wireless intermittently.
    8. Make sure that your printer and router are at least 5 feet independently of each other.

    In the router: (refer to the manual of your router for more information)

    1. Use a fixed wireless channel as the 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest.
    2. Set the router to 20 Mhz only or 145Mbps router function.
    3. Always use WPA2-AES encryption (personal), but you can try the "mixed" mode
    4. Disable the WPS and never use it and disable the UPnP for the security of routers. No one can hijack your system now and help with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, research on the web).
    5. If you have a router dual band (2.4 Ghz and 5.0 Ghz bands), make sure the SSID is NOT identical, they must be different for all the bands, even for networks without comments.
    6. SSID broadcast should be enabled.
    7. Save all the settings. Food at the same time, wait 2 minutes.  Power on router wait 2 minutes.
    8. Marketing the printer and check that it reconnects to the router.

    Windows 7/8/8.1 is discovered the system on or off?

    1. Control Panel/Network and Internet/network and sharing Center / advanced sharing settings.
    2. Under home or work (current profile) / network discovery.
    3. Select "Turn on network discovery" and save the changes.

    Now last thing to do once everything above has been tried and you still have the same problem, completely uninstall and delete the printer and its software.

    Use http://www.iobit.com/en/advanceduninstaller.php .  Use of the powerful scanner at the end to remove all registry entries.

    Now go back and reinstall the drivers and full software on the HP website.

    Last resort effort - if your printer has an Ethernet connection, suggest you to get some adapters line and convert your Ethernet wiring for your printer.

  • Photosmart B109 question - display message print head problem cannot be removed

    Hi all, I just bought a used B109 printer/scanner, and I can't get rid of the message on the display screen.

    I bought the unit knowing he had a problem with Printhead and am waiting for a new print head, but the problem is, the language of unity has been defined in Czech by the former owner, and I want to change it to English. However, the process to change the language (press on high righ, middle left and bottom left buttons and the display screen) will not work because the display shows the message print head problem, and I can't get rid of the message.

    Is it possible to access the menu, while the print head message always?

    Oh, and is it possible to really connect with HP? Through their support just site ends with Q & A generic, that does not solve my problem as stated above... :-(

    Hello TonyW1967,

    Welcome to the HP Forums.

    In fact, you will have to wait until the new printhead is installed and clear the error before we can enter the setting menu to change the language on the printer.

    Here's the information to call the Tech Support of HP.  If you call in North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, please click here: click here.

  • Printer inkjet HP Envy 4520: scan to a tiff file

    On my new HP Envy 4520 printer injet there doesn't seem to be an option to scan to a tiff file. The only option is the jpeg. Is it possible to scan to a tiff file?

    After some research, I found that Windows Fax and Scan software will work for scanning for tiff. There is also a new scanning on Windows 10 application that works. Given these options, I consider that the problem is resolved.

  • Questions of queue printer after clearing by running cmd prompt

    I'm dealing with an old xp computer based.  I work in a chemistry lab and some of our instruments are systems of inherited types.  Out of everything I just this morning and I have a paper stuck in the print queue.  Not really big a deal, but I was not in a place to turn to reset the entire system (you will need to disable analytic system also although it will not re-sync to pc, unless all the pieces are propelled to the bottom to the top at the same time).  Then I typed and ran the standard .cmd guest found on the site of tech from microsoft here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946737

    The problem that I use here is that a step in the last paragraph is not actually happens.  The command is on a constant loop, creating the problem of the printer is not not able to connect to the system and allowing the impression to continue.

    So, I did this several times on the systems of the House over the years and has never had any sort of problem ever.  This isn't exactly a disastarous near future problem but certainly is soemthing that I need to fix in the medium and long term.

    I even tried the most obvious solutions such disconnect, hard reset, etc. as well as just to add the printer again setting the copy default.  All that serves to do is allow me to create documents printed in our analysis software, but the command to actually have the printer put some ink on the page is ignored.  He goes to the queue, but it is there for the moment, 35 minutes.

    A reflection as to why this might be happening and how I can fix this problem?

    I can get you some specs if you need, such as the version of windows, etc.  All I can tell you offhand knowledge is that it is a very old system.  The printer used is a HP LaserJet P1006 and the instrument is fixed to it is approximately 27 years.  The computer is a Dell Optiplex 755 I have beileve generated somewhere in the area from 2006-2008.

    Note If anyone QC of Microsoft coming on this post:

    SignIn upward for a microsoft after that account was a nightmare.  Took me to create accounts with two email addresses, more than 35 trying to connect until the password is recognized and I have the key to time (not) sent to my phone at least 3 or 4 times beofore I could finally check my email.  Let's not even start on how this site basically does not work in chrome which is my preferred corporate browser and IE is troubled and dysfunctional with slow loading times.   Just an end-user of entry to be considered.

    Thank you all.

    I don't know what you mean by that:

    The command is on a constant loop, creating the problem of the printer is not not able to connect to the system and allowing the impression to continue.

    but there is no real need to create a command script as described in this article.  Just open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK) and type the commands in hand:

    net stop spooler {press Enter}
    del/q '% windir%\system32\spool\PRINTERS\*.*' {press Enter}
    net start spooler {press Enter}
    exit {press Enter}

    FYI, the above /Q switch is optional: it means "go ahead and delete without asking confirmation to Yes/No."  In addition, the above command removes just all files in this folder - but there should not be any files other than the files *.shd and *.spl anyway.

    Enter orders manually must work or give you an error message more significant than executing the script.

    Microsoft has created one of its automated FixIt tools to remedy this situation (this may or may not be the one that appears when you go to the article you quoted):
    FixIt 9662904 ("Lighting mode" = do not check the box to restore the values by default the spooler).  You can read about this tool and what it here--> http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2012/02/24/microsoft-fixit-for-printing.aspx?Redirected=true

  • OneNote hijacks my usb port and blocks printer inkjet Lexmark 4200.

    I am trying to use a printer ink Lexmark 4200 with xp pro and office Enterprise 2007. on a HP a365c. The usb port is monopolized by the onenote program that runs my impression rather than Lexmark 4200 onenote comand. The fax Lexmark 4200 is functional. I have not tried to send a fax via the computer yet but will be shortly. I just feed in the Lexmark 4 in one. I tried to disable a note with the enterpise office program, but it has no effect. There is a /slash of red circle at the entrance to Lexmark 4200 on the screen of the printer of the Panel control my XP. Does anyone have any idea on this? I don't want onenote on this machine, but it cannot go down. Another PC computer with an earlier edition of microsoft word etc works fine after reading the instructions from Lexmark to click 'Cancel' on the new hardware screen that produces the XP to start. I did it with this one, but nothing helped. The other is a Comapaq older which is my ACE in the hole. The usb port is occupied by the lexmark 4200. There is no Onenote on this machine.
