• HP C4280 all-in-One will not print photos on any HP photo paper

  HP C4280 all-in-One will not print color or B & W photos on photo paper.  Color and B & W photos on plain paper prints.  It is used to print normally on all documents.  No change, I am aware of cause this malfunction.  Any suggestions?

  Open your printers folder and right-click on the printer and review the printing preferences. Set the media media photo here and in the application you are printing from. When you say that it will not be printed on photographic support what do you mean... the page is white? the quality is bad?

  Have tried all the "patches" you list and much more. The printer prints fine on my old PC Windows XP and worked fine on my

  new PC using Windows 7 until recently.

  Please don't tell me to... Reinstall, download the new driver, install the new cartridge, clean align the print heads, different paper or go to 'solutions '... Etc... Etc.  I HAVE ALREADY BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT!

  Gordon,

  Thanks for the reply, expecting not one, but what you say is all that we need to buy another printer if we did all the "fixes", etc... etc. you know that take a printer to a repair shop will cost more

  then buy a new one.

  It was stupid of saying me to check on the warraty of HP page when I already told you that the unit is 5 years old.

  But don't thank you for the reply... even if it was a joke!

• 6500 all in One - will not print in black, no error message

  Twice now, I sent a cartridge black staple, thinking that there was something wrong with it because the printer would print fine for the first copies of 20-40, then stops.  When it happened a third time, I started thinking maybe this isn't the ink cartridges.  Just the printer does not print in black.  Can I change the font color of blue and all is well.  When I try to print something from black, the printer ACTS like it was printing but nothing comes up except the color elements.  The diagnostics show no problem, that the printer has no error message, even shows the full ink cartridge (which is)... but it just will not print in black.

  Try to soak the printhead as described in this post.

• My Officejet 6500 E709 all in one will not print black.

  My HP Officejet 6500 E709n all-in-one will not print black.   All other colors work very well.  Have you tried what follows - new black cartridge installed, ran the print heads clean utility, made sure the wind was compatible black ink cartridge, turned printer off and restarted.  Print tests still not print black - other colors and images to print, but not text black or shades of black in images.  Any suggestions on how to fix or what needs to be repaired?  Thank you.

  Hi jim: I just had the same problem a few minutes ago. After having gone through all the troubleshooting steps, I realized it was all just a bad cartridge. The PIN on the printer heads were not reading the new cartridge, so nothing in black print could be printed. I installed a new black cartridge and I could resume my printing projects. I then contacted the HP store directly to report the faulty cartridge while they could send me a new, that I won't be out of pocket for a cartridge I bought directly from them.

  Hope this helps you with your problem.

  My HP Officejet Pro L7680 all-in-one will not print blue but my ink level is fine.  I tried aligning the printheads and clean the print heads, but still does not work.  Help!

  Thank you.  It seems odd that the magenta print very well and it seems that the cyan and magenta use the same print head?  I will contact HP support.  Thanks again for your help.

• HP 1315xi all in one will not print.

  Recently had to wipe my hard drive and reinstall everything.  I use Windows 7 (64-bit), and my all-in-one does not print anything from the computer.

  Help, please.

  Hello althor1170

  It seems to be a problem with the computer and the printer communicate with each other. Have you tried another USB cable or port? Have you tried setting the printer wireless or network? If he works on the network, then the problem is with the USB cable or port. You are using a USB hub?

• HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-one: HP Photosmart C5280 All in one will not wotk on new install

  I bought an HP Photosmart C5280 All in One several previously used and used with a dell dimension running windows xp woitout problems.  .  I rcently purchased a dell Windows 7 Professional or with a processor 15.  I reinstalled everything and get test of allignment of cartridges, and it keeps failing.  I did the partial reset and semi.  It wil not scan or copy.  Help, please.

  Hello @mgsindy,

  Thanks for getting back to me on this subject. I am pleased to hear that the issue of alignment has been resolved. However, because you get the message when copying or scanning that has occurred a "failure" and you screen gets stuck on 'Cancel' for the copy, you experience a hardware failure with your copy/scan inside your printer mechanism.

  Because the programming of your printer control the scanning/copying mechanism, I checked in an update of Firmware for your product to see if there was an update available in the corrupt case programming was causing your issue. Unfortunately, due to the age of your product, it is not these updates.

  You also mentioned that you did a semi Full reset programming on your printer, nothing helps.

  At this point, I will provide you the failure of scan standard troubleshooting steps to see if there is a chance to solve this problem.

  Step 1: Power Reset:

  1. With the printer, unplug the cable from power for 30 seconds
  2. After that 30 seconds reconnect the power cable from back in
  3. The printer should return its own
  4. Once the printer returns to the ready state, again test the copy feature.

  Step 2: Verification of power:

  Power strips and surge protectors can cause HP printers do not work properly because they can run out of power. To ensure that a power problem is not causing your Scanner failure, please plug the unit directly into the wall outlet.

  Once your printer is directly to a wall jack please test again the copy function. If the problem persists, please continue to the next step.

  Step 3: Check the Scanner Bar and light:

  1. Feed your printer
  2. Lift the lid flat on your printer and click the copy button
  3. Check if the scanner bar is moving or if the scanner lamp turns on.

  Source: A "Failure of scan" Message appears on the all-in-one control panel and you can not scan, copy, or fax

  If there is no response from the mechanism of scanning, the last step would be the printer to service.

  At this point, if the problem persists I suggest you contact the Technical Support queue by phone to explore additional options.

  HP Technical Support can be reached at the: 800-474-6836.

  Please let me know if the steps I have provided resolve your copy/scan failure. Good luck!

• Printer HP 6210 all in one will not print computer

  My HP6210 all in one printer will not print from a computer that has Vista. My operating system is Windows. The printer worked fine with my old laptop that did not have Vista. However, as soon as I have my Phoenicia connected, which has Vista, it will not print. My computer doesn't work anymore so I need to use hers. What can I do to make it work? Thank you

  Hi @Beeky27,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I noticed that your HP Officejet 6210 won't print from your Windows Vista computer. I am pleased to see that for you!

  First of all, I would make sure that the full feature software and drivers are installed, by downloading it from this link: HP full feature software and drivers. Then I would run the HP print and Scan Doctor, to ensure that everything works.

  Let's start with these steps and go from there!

  I hope this helps!

• 7510 photosmart e-all-in-one does not print

  I had setting successful place Photosmart e-all-in-one printer 7510 when I bought first. Super easy to install and I print wireless all the time.

  I recently moved and tried to uninstall and reinstall the printer so that I could print wireless again. I did exactly the same thing to install because I did the first time and it doesn't work. I went through all the steps help and may not know what the problem is.

  1. the printer is turned on.

  2. the printer is certainly connected to the network. No problem found on the wireless network test.

  3. my computer is not connected to a virtual private network.

  4. the computer and the printer are on the same network. Name of the network on the wireless network test is the same name of network connected to my computer.

  5. There is no firewall does not block the detection of the printer.

  6. the wireless router is not in a bad state of operation. If it were, I would not be able to get online, right?

  7. I do not use the 'connect a new printer' resettlement.

  8. I don't know that I downloaded the appropriate software drivers.

  I don't know what else to check. The only thing that has changed is the router and the internet provider. I got the same laptop before I move. Everything works fine print/scan when connected via a USB port.

  You're not the only one having problems with the SBG6580.

  Your internet provider has other available modems?  (not motorola)

• C7280 all-in-One will not print envelopes

  The printer tells me the envelopes are the right size and will not print.  I use Windows 7.  I put in all the exact measurements for the envelope in both software (Word 2007 or Hallmark Cards), then in the window HP I set the size, but it will print only on paper in full format, not the envelope.  Is it possible to substitute the rejection of the printer of the envelope?

  Check the paper type: in the C7280 printing preferences/options is set to plain paper.

• 6510 all-in-one does not print in black

  Hello

  So my off-warranty 6510 has started to not print in black. I bought this in August 2012, and it has been pretty reliable.

  Now it just won't print black. I searched through these forums and I feel like a big community now - I'm not alone with this problem.

  I did print without end cleaning of the printer head and my PC (until the option has disappeared!). Print head alignment failed. And I have replaced the cartridge.

  As it is not in warranty, I took the print head and gave him a * beep * clean. When he was replaced, it only printed a page in black (bad), then no more.

  Print in color if fine, except now (after that numerout head cleans) most of the ink levels are low.

  Stupidly, I expect a miracle and that a HP representative will respond and provide a kind of solution, but I think I know it's out of the dumpster. It'll be the 3rd death of HP printers in 4 years (the first 2 were replaced by the store - Costco).

  At least now that my stock of cartridges is exhausted, I am not bound to HP again as if I was the last time.

  Sort problem. Thank you very much for your support.

• My Photosmart C3180 all-in-one will not scan.

  Get Installation error 8, [(8,0,0)], then press the 'OK' button to continue. Complete installation - printer OK, but not scan.

  Have tried all the options within the "error of Installation of the HP" without success. "HP solutions Center - 'guide' gives no action.

  Seems to be all 8 sections OK and going to "finish the screen. Connect the printer and "install device driver" is displayed. Close this at the end of "the device is ready for use. The "software Setup screen appears again and then comes to an end, when the ' screen HP Solutions is started." I tried to scan from there, but still get the error "8,0,0" described above. As I said, the HP Solution Center - Guide (for a solution) either do nothing, Windows Control Panel product "program stopped working." Printer/scanner worked with this Win7 for almost a year, before getting this problem. There was also the C3180 in recent years through Win XP & Win Vista.

  Not sure if the problem is hardware, A) B) Windows, software HP C) or (D) the file downloaded "AIO_CDA_NonNet_Full_Win_ WWW_130_140".

  We'll see. It could be all three issues you have described. However, let's test a few things. First first, let's do a copy on the printer itself, see if she did this and that will prove its functional. Other hardware issues maybe a defective USB cable. Then you can consider replacing that.

  Then for the software, I want uninstall you devices and printers, programs and features, Device Manager. Then in the menu Start menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Delete all the files. Some will not delete, and it's good.

  Then download the files on the site.

  Make sure that the USB cable is disconnected through this process.

  When you reinstall message out there and let me know the result.
