Is this a problem with the printer or a bad cartridge?

Well, that WAS a bad cartridge.

I ordered and installed a new.

No problem with that one.

I guess I got one of the 1 in 100 bad cartridges HP did.

Now what?

  • LaserJetPro M201dw: Error Message on new HP LASERJET PRO M201dw - "install the black print cartridge.

    Hi, we have a new printer HP LaserJetPro M201dw. We put up this morning, following the instructions as stated in the manual, but the printer keeps blinking and say "install the black print cartridge or clear jam."

    The printer has never been used, so there is no jams, and the ink cartridge was too brand new and a black cartridge HP official. The printer does nothing, it doesn't print, I can't do a cleaning page, it simply does not work. I tried resetting, disconnected from the power supply from the mains and put it back, and we tried a second new ink cartridge, he pulled several times and it still says "install the ink cartridge. I is not a jam in the printer at all. I tried following the recommended steps for others who have had the same problem, but always without success.

    The printer has been installed successfully on my Windows Vista computer, but the same error message appears on my computer when I try to print directly from the computer.

    I would be grateful for any suggestion. Thank you very much.

    You probably have a joint expedition on something.  It really is a common thing, now it's HP shipped toner in printers take the tray, toner, open everything. Tilt the machine upward, look inside, etc.  Use a flashlight if you have not entered of lights in the room.

    If it's blue or orange, a transport lock.  It could be as simple as a piece of tape, a plastic tie or a block of expanded polystyrene (white).

  • LaserJet 1300 PCL6: New laptop / old printer won't

    Hello

    Can anyone help please? I just bought a new laptop HP Envy, running Windows 10 (64-bit) and it does not recognize my old (10 years) HP Laserjet 1300 PCL6 monochrome laser printer (but my last laptop on 10 Windows worked with her). I can't find the drivers on the HP site, and I don't want to give up my laser printer because, although old, it works brilliantly as a low quality workhorse printer. All solutions gratefully received. Thank you very much.

    It was the universal driver that did it, thanks!

  • LaserJet P2035: P2035 feels ghostly second image under original on correspondence cards

    I try to print multiple cpoies of the same note on several cards of matching size 8.5 x 5.5 inches.  Correspondence cards are a thicker than normal paper.  First card itself, but like the second and more than fingerprints cards are printed, it appears an id low reprint the text below the original text.  The repeated image is sometimes quite heavy to read almost.

    Low repeated text starts about 2.5 inches below the original.

    I tried to set the paper weight, cleaning the printer, print the page cleaning several times and in frustration, replacement of the cartridge.  Nothing changes.  Test pages are impeccable.

    If I wait 5 minutes between the copies and print a copy each time, it will print ok.  It is a pain when the customer wants to 50 copies.

    Anyone who think that a process of trying?

    Thanks Dave.  The idea of the fuser unit do not receive the card stock pretty hot was the clue.

    The heavier paper setting is only available with the top tray (1).   We were still using the #2 plateau because that's the way it has been done before.  The setting of the average weight was heavier for this bin.

    Again, I created a custom configuration with the actual size of the map, not only close to the available selections, the heavier paper setting and the top shelf.  It worked to clear up the ghost repeat printing and as a bonus, several copies can be printed instead of one at a time.

    After about 3 copies, there is just the ghost atrace.  I'll try a 600 resolution setting then maybe it won't be so much toner to try to merge the heavy card stock.  I wish there was a way to set a delay between each copy to allow fuser back upwards to maximum temperature for the next card.

    Once again, thank you for the response and consciousness.

  • LaserJet M1212nf: Problems setting up wireless printing

    I can set up to print from my laptop with a USB connection to the printer. I want to be able to print when away from my office, so have tried for 2 years, on and off, to get my printer to print wireless. I spent probably 10 + hours trying to get this set up. In the end, I always end up having to reinstall the printer with the same old USB connection.

    It drives me crazy. I'm a tech writer for a society of software and very savvy in computer science. However, my non-techie family have all managed to set up wireless printing at their home in 5 minutes or less with different brands of printers.

    Here are the steps that I followed, although I also tried many variations, like trying with my USB cable connected or disconnected.

    (1) uninstall the current installation of the printer (USB).

    (2) on the printer itself, make sure that the settings > network settings are the default values.

    (3) using the latest drivers and installation .exe from the HP site, start a new installation of the printer.

    (4) when you are prompted, select "wireless."

    RESULT: even if my firewall is turned OFF, search and indicates that he is there any printer on the network. (Huh? Which network?)

    (5) try again once and this time select "Network Setup."

    RESULT: even if my firewall is turned OFF, search and says that it cannot detect a network.

    If the wireless installation requires a network, but network installation does not cause a network to install, I don't know where to go from here.

    (6) I also tried downloading and installing the ePrint utility, but when I'm at halfway through the installation, it tells me that it cannot find my printer.

    I am suspicious that my model M1212nf MFP may even not allow for wireless printing. Some info on the HP site says to check a particular button lights up to indicate that the printer is online. This light does not exist on my printer model. However, the parameters of the printer from my physics has parameters such as: "show IP address," etc., which would lead me to believe that it can work wireless.

    I have read all the help related HP printer, and there is nothing which explains, in simple language, what are the types of cables, I need to set up a network and the Wi - Fi connection, when to plug them in, what facilities to perform on the many Add - ons available, etc.. I don't know that it's a 5 minute process if there was just a good explanation in the help of the UP of how do. Assistance would be appreciated!

    Hello @SKYdiz,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you have had problems for the last 2 years and spent many hours trying to configure your HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf MFP for wireless printing. At this point I'll provide more information about it. First of all, are sitting you?

    Unfortunately, the HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf multifunction printer isn't a model wireless printer. The "nf" at the end of the name of the printer is the abbreviation of 'network, fax. Therefore, if your printer is not able to connect to your router wireless, it CAN connect with an ethernet cable.

    All you need to do is connect an ethernet cable to the back of your printer to your router. That all devices connected to this router even (whether through wireless or wired ethernet connections) would be able to 'see' your printer on the network and print it on your printer. For more information on configuring ethernet on your printer, please visit: Setup the printer to a wired network in Windows 7 for HP's LaserJet printers.

    Now, if an ethernet connection does not work in your specific network, HP makes other Laserjet models that do not use the wireless function. Here are two LaserJet who are black only, multifunction wireless units that resemble your current printer model: HP LaserJet MFP HP LaserJet MFP M225dw Pro and M127fw Pro.

    Please let me know if this clears up any confusion. If you have other questions or concerns, I'll be more than happy to help you. Happy new year!

  • Just got my HP LaserJet Pro M451nw 400 and it prints all greenish! Tried everything

    Help!

    I just got my HP LaserJet Pro M451nw 400 and it prints all greenish!

    I tried everything in the troubleshooting page for quality of printing, calibration, color settings, page, even the driver HP Universal PS of cleaning.

    When I entered my product in the registration area, it is said the warranty is good until June 2014 as Newegg said the guarantee would be also 1 year ...

    I'm sorry you're having trouble with your new LaserJet print quality.

    I assume you are using supplied with the printer, toner cartridges since this is brand new.  Otherwise, recharged cartridges sometimes are not of high quality and can cause less than optimal printouts.

    The following link gives several options to try if you have not already tried these things:

  • MFP HP LaserJet Pro 400 M425dn will not print the text to format 72 points or more

    My workplace has recently bought a M425dn of MFP HP LaserJet Pro 400 all-in-one printer. It works perfectly except for the fact that it will not print text that is 72 points or larger in size. I tried many fonts that are installed with Windows, and all them print correctly to the point size 71.5 or smaller; Another thing simply does not appear in prints. Content which is of size to 72 points or more * fact * affect the flow of the content printed on the page, however. It's like the 72 points or larger text takes up space, but it is completely invisible on the printed page.

    I tested using Microsoft Word 2002 on three separate computers, of which two have installed Windows 7 and Windows Vista installed. The problem is the same on all three computers. The printer is connected via an ethernet cable to our wired network. I have installed the printer software included, and I don't think that there are updates for it that have not been installed up to this point.

    How to configure the settings of mail on HP Laserjet Enterprise 500 color MFP M575 printer/scanner?  The Office has 5 staff members each with ending with [email protected] for example e-mail addresses.  We have also created an email for option analysis as [email protected] (not sure if creating an e-mail address for the scan option is required).  We are not part of any domain, and there is no server in the office.  When you try to configure the email on the printer/scanner control panel it asks the host name.

    Just bought a M127fw of MFP HP LaserJet Pro and is about to return it for a refund.

    While it will print a diagnostics page and the copier seems to work, it will not display a wireless information page, and I can't seem to print a document from my PC, phone, ePrint or any other method.

    I tried to print the information page of the front panel of the printer as well as the web server.  In both cases, clicking the button simply does nothing.  The printer displays no message indicating a problem.

    I have connected the printer to my Ubuntu PC (tried JetDirect/AppSocket and IPP), but the print job hangs just with "treatment" or "stopped".

    I have connected the printer to my Android phone, but just printing crashes.

    I have connected the printer to service of HP ePrint (using the email address listed by my printer).  Here it shows 'Problem with printer', which is my only indication that something is wrong.  The site directs me to check the front panel of the printer for more information, but there is nothing there.
