K550 printer: not only partially printed paper

I had this printer at home for 3-4 years. Now, every leaf, regardless of the type of paper, print partially and stops in the printer. The power and seeing resumes flashing. After 30 seconds, the paper is eliminated, and only 10% of the leaves are printed.

The printer utility window shows "printer busy." To stop the printer market and try again with the same results.

Here's what I've done several times and nothing has solved the problem...

1 reset the printer. Unplug and plug back in. Power cord is plugged directly into the wall.

2. the self-test. Several times. 20 to 30 pages are pushed through.

3. fitting of paper in the tray.

4. clean the rollers and rollers selector paper with water and alcohol with Publix.

5. properties of the printer checked - size, type, source. Everything is good.

6 reset sysem printing according to the Apple support.

7. check the gas station. Clean all items. No pieces of paper anywhere.

8 reinstall the print heads. Two alignment pages printed. Seems good. Magenta color's ridged.

Is this related?

Why spend these pages?

WHAT ELSE TO DO?

OfficeJet Pro K550. Mac OS 10.6.8. connected to the Mac with USB cable.

Gemini02,

I followed all of the suggestions you provided. None of this has worked.

BUT...

"What are the ink levels?

The power of ink yellow bar showed approximately 20% always full. So I was ignoring that.

After that 4-5 hours of frustration and a last ditch effort, I loaded a new cartridge yellow ink and BINGO! Everything works

fine again. So simple. :-(

He had been telling me ink level is LOW. He was never a message to change the cartridge, which I'm sure that has happened in the past. All good now and I have learned my lesson. Thanks for your help!

  • K550 printer has a static IP address and I can not access!

    Long story short, the bonehead technician, who headed the school in front of me felt that he had to put everything on the static IP, including printers.

    Anyway, we have since got a new ISP that provided us with a router that functions as a DHCP server and automatically assigns IPs to all computers on the network and devices (unless we chose a static ip address manually). The new network streams of 192.168.168.XX while the old network is a completely different game (204.48.224.XX). Unfortunately, printers are still set to the old static IP and I can not access their web configuration pages to change because of their IP and walkways being inaccessible.

    I can connect by USB to a computer and set them up in USB if there's a way. I searched the manual and the help topics and couldn't find what I was looking for.

    Is it possible for me to give back the networking on my printer K550 except in web admin using the? Help, please. I am the only technician here and it's the first day of school. I have quite a few teachers angry on my hand

    I don't know anything about this printer, but I could find on page 46 of the Manual:

    To reset the network settings on the printer (HP Officejet Pro K550dtn/K550dtwn)
    1 press and hold / (the Configuration Page button), press (button) 3 times, and
    release / (the Configuration Page button). The power light flashes for a few seconds. Wait for the
    Power light is on.
    2. press on / (the Configuration Page button) to print the configuration page and verify that the
    network settings have been reset. By default, the name of the network (SSID) is "hpsetup" and the

    mode of communication is "ad hoc".

  • Win 7 does not 4 x 6 paper when printing head office photo with my hp 6520

    I have paper in all trays.

    I can print to the photo tray if I use another program that allows me to access the printer properties.

    If I use a Microsoft program in Windows 7 is not an option for paper 4 x 6 as if he does not see the photo tray.

    If I said to print a picture at a size of 4 x 6 it print on plain paper from Tray 1.

    Does anyone know how to work aroun it?

    Hey ArcEnCiel.

    Normally when you select print in a Windows program, and then you are presented with the print options window.  In this window, there is a preferences or properties button.  If you click this button, then another window should open for the printer preferences.

    In this menu, you can set the paper to photo paper Type and size of 4 x 6?  In addition, you should have an option to select the Tray 1 or the Photo tray.  Are these not present options for you?

  • Printer paper jam

    Printer LaserJet 1317 HP with Windows 7. He had a paper jam, but I emptied. It claims the paper jam. I have it pulled, open to anything that would open. No paper is located. Still, she refuses to print and claims the paper jam.

    No error message or blinking lights on the printer, error message on the computer units and printer: paper jam.

    And he simply refuses to print it.

    Hi Kurt,.

    I would say uninstalling the software of the printer.

    Once it is uninstalled, I suggest you put your system in clean boot mode in the configuration of Microsoft.  You can do this by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.

    Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would suggest to reinstall the HP printer install wizard for Windows.

    Please let me know how it goes.

  • HP 8600 over Error Message: paper detected does not match format of paper or type selected.

    HP Officejet Pro 8600 more

    Windows XP Pro, Windows 7 Pro

    Error message: paper detected does not match format of paper or type selected

    This error message appears on the printer display panel any time a custom paper size has been set up in Word (or any other application) and the format of paper & type was inserted in the Officejet Pro 8600 paper tray.  This error is generated by the printer regardless the orietation or margins or paper size settings in the document to match the paper size in the paper tray.  When you press 'OK' on the printer display panel, the printer ejects paper correctly.  Because this printer lacks a manual bypass tray, the custom paper is always inserted in the Tray1 and is the only book in this tray 1.  It's a simple tray 8600 more.

    What I am doing wrong?

    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately, you cannot print on a paper size "undefined" with printers. While the functionality is available in word, our printers do not recognize that the sizes of the main paper (these changes according to the country sometimes).

    The reason for this is because undefined paper sizes open the printer and the print job to a certain number of risks, including jams paper or misaligned printing. This is why the function is no more on HP printers.

    I recommend to find a type of traditional paper which is close to the size you want to print on and select in the layout of the print job as a workaround for this problem.

    I hope this helps!
