OfficeJet 6100 printer squeaks.

My printer is about 1 year old, and when the paper is transported, the printer makes a grinding noise.

Hello William16and welcome to the Forums of HP, I hope you enjoy your experience!

I see that you are having problems printing.  I would try to help.

I recommend you to perform a power reset.  Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

Then I suggest you the rest of this paper on a message "erase the transport Jam and press ENTER to continue" on the all-in-one.

Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  • OfficeJet 6100 prints photos but print the electronic text as truncated including title, date/time?

    I have a HP 9300 and a HP 6100 printer. Both worked fine for a couple of years now. All of a sudden I'm experienceing random letters/characters whenever I try to print from email or occasionally on the web. If I take a document stored at random, they print correctly. Have I somehow messed something? I don't remember changing any settings, but you never know. Yes, I tried re-installing the printers.

    It turns out that it was a mistake to police and I had someone to fix. Thanks for any help and response. FYI, I'm under mozilla browser, of the trachea.

  • A former Officejet 6100 e prtinter is expandable to AirPrint?

    We bought an Officejet 6100 printer in April 2013.  I noticed that now the new printers Officejet 6100 have AirPrint compatibility.  Can I put on my current 6100 to add this function firmware or software? {Information}

    Hello

    You happen to know what Officejet 6100 printer you have? What is the HP Officejet 6100 - H611a x? You may already have a printer that supports AirPrint. Take a look at the following support document:

    Officejet printers that support AirPrint are listed under 'what HP LaserJet printers are compatible with Apple AirPrint?'

  • Office Jet 6100: PRINTING OFFICE JET 6100

    For the 6100 print settings are enough sparc but sufficient for my needs. I have a problem with the Advanced setting. I tried to put by default only using black ink. It doesn't seem to work. The only way I know is that when I print, I get a message of low ink magenta, with the option to print in black ink only. As far as I know, it does not matter if I set this as the default, or if I try to print jobs, she still wants to use the color ink. I tried new software but could not find. I've updated the firmware to the version of April 2016 and still can not get the printer to use only black ink.

    I'd appreciate any help I could get with that.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey @micneamol,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I see you are trying to print in black only from your Officejet 6100 printer. As the color printing is a defense mechanism to avoid damaging the printer, it is not possible to replace the printer to use only black ink.

    You can learn more about printing in black only, as well as find a way to minimize consumption of color by clicking on this link.

    Please let me know if that answers your question or solves your problems. If so, please click on accept solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. The two icons are below this post.

  • Is there a hp officejet 6100 software for OS x 10.9?

    When I ran the CD I received a message that it is not compatible with the newer than 10.6 or close. [10.7 in fact]

    I guess that my Mac installed the driver because it provides all the functional point of view for USB connection. It seems to work OK.

    I pulled out my old, broken and decrepit Windows XP computer to connect my Officejet 6100 printer to my network nine. It seems to work perfectly with this regard as well. I hope I don't have to do this whenever the power supply is bad or my ISP fails.

    I solved my problem insofar as it apparently is solveable. I described the solution as a review of the issue.

  • XP 64 bit driver for the Officejet 6100

    Given that HP is not a driver for the Officejet 6100 on a Windows XP 64-bit system, is there an unsigned driver or a work around to get an Officejet 6100 to work on a Windows XP 64-bit operating system?

    I tried to use the work of 990c but that didn't work.

    Hi Keith61,

    As far as I know that there is no actual work around to install a printer on a system that is not supported. Installing 990c drivers should have given you the ability to print. Can try one of the methods below to see if you can get the 990c driver to work or you can upgrade to a newer operating system. Let me know what you find?

    USB

    Follow the instructions below.

    1. open devices and printer

    2. click on add a printer

    3. click Add a local printer

    4. from the use existing port, select the USB option and then click Next

    5. click the button of Windows Update to get all the support window 7 drivers updated

    6. once the update is complete. Click HP from the menu on the left, then select the printer Deskjet 990c in the right menu, and then click Next.

    7. follow the remaining instructions to complete the installation.

    Once you have the printer added 990c make sure it is the default printer, and then try to print on your Officejet 6100 printer using this driver.

    Wireless

    Follow the instructions below.

    1. open devices and printer

    2. click on add a printer

    3. click Add a local printer

    6. once the update is complete. Click HP from the menu on the left, then select the printer Deskjet 990c in the right menu, and then click Next.

  • OfficeJet 6100: Black ink printing

    I have a yellow cartridge empty but want to print in black ink only 90% satisfied with my printing needs.

    The manual here says 32-33 pages that the printer will print black if there is enough color ink in the print head, but once the ink has run out completely the cartrdige will need to be replaced.

    HP and other printer manufacturers have technology another printer for different needs.  For ink jet printers:

      • Some have integrated into the ink cartridges print heads.  These printers can print generally with one or more of the colors completely empty, or even with color or black cartridges (but not both) removed. Deskjet 6980 series is an example, or for an all-in-one, check the Deskjet 2540.
      • Other printers have separate replaceable printheads and inks.  An example would be the printer Officejet 6100.  In these printers print head can be replaced if they are damaged by running the printhead with colors off.  Some of these printers allow printing with a color, the other will not.  If the printer is run without ink in one or several colours, the printer may be damaged, but the user may be able to recover without having to send to the printer for the service.
      • Other printers have permanent print heads.  To run only those without little ink in all colours would risk causing damage to the print head because of clogs, air ingested in the printhead or grilled printhead resistances of shooting. The Officejet 6700 is an example of this type of printer. For printers with fixed print heads that could require the service to get the printer to print properly again when the ink is finally replaced.

    The document described here how the ink is used.  While the document is written for inkjet printers HP the same principles apply to the other manufacturers.print but especially black color inkjet printers printer IPH as those in the first category above can be a good choice.

  • OfficeJet 6100 Wireless: Officejet 6110 does not print Gmail or IE screens

    My officejet 6100 works wireless.  I have a Pavilion with Windows 7.  Until two days ago, I was able to print any screen, document, or Gmail by selcting 'print '.  Now, everything I print is MS docs and some downloaded version printable screens of Gmail, for example, theatre tickets, I can also print the "test page".  When I select print for a response from Gmail, for example, or an IE screen and press "print" on the print window, nothing happens.  My wife, who is printing wireless since his laptop has the same problem.  I downloaded and installed the latest drivers for Officejet 6011.  Restarting my computer has not solved the problem.  It seems to me that the wireless function is selective in what it prints.  Thoughts?

    Do not take into account 9/21 announcement (repetitive to 19/9).  This one did because I couldn't find the post above to edit and add more relevant information.  However, I finally solved the problem by detaching the printer and reinstall using the second option for printers in my control panel.  However, still do not know why wireless ignored my browser while accepting paper screens.

Thoughts?

    Finally solved the problem by removing the printer and reinstall using an alternate option given by HP.  It was not the first of the two given, but he managed to connect my Internet to printing.

  • HP Officejet 6100 e printer will not stop running

    I have a printer portable officejet 6100 e.  This isn't an all in one printer.  It worked fine for a few months.  Now, it continues to operate.

    In other words, the ink cartridges continue cycling back and forth.  I am unable to print anything, because the cradle never stops runniing.  I have to unplug or the system will work forever.  I let it run for 1/2 hour to see if it would stop.  But he never did.

    I probably expiration on 15 or 20 pages and had to buy a new HP ink cartridges, so I do not throw away and waste with a value of 50 dollars or cartridges.

    Any suggestions

    I am running Windows 7 on a Dell laptop.

    Thank you

    Ken

    I'm sorry you have a problem with the printer.

    See if you can unplug the USB cable from the back.

    Press and hold (X) and unplug the power cord at the back. Plug the power cord supply, while holding down the (X) button.

    Let me know if it stops.

    I tried to power on the printer, the modem and the router so that it would reset but the printer would not still find or connect to the wireless network.  The little blue light on the printer for wireless connection just continues to blink.

    Because it connects to the wireless network I can not go back in the server web part to cancel the IP address manually and other changes.

  • OfficeJet 6100 Wireless: default print to hp officejet 6100

    I have an officejet 6100 on a WiFi network with a computer using Windows 7 and the other stuck with Windows 8.1.  On the Windows 7 machine, I can set the default value of printing from the choice of the printer control panel.   It is Only/Draft of black ink, and the settings are retained.  The other machine is Windows 8.  When we the printer (Control Panel) on the setting of the aboves, they returned to a stop settings / Normal grayscale.  This means that everything is printed in color and not the project unless we do not forget to change the settings before printing. How can I get the settings Windows 8.1 by default Black Ink Only/Draft machine?

    On the Windows 8 machine follow these steps: in Control Panel click devices and printers.  Right-click on the Officejet 6100 series and select Printing Preferences.  Click the paper/quality tab, select quick print of project quality, apply.  Then click on the tab color and check printing in grayscale and check the Black Cartridge Print selection only, apply.  Now you can also make a new print task Quick Set, type something like project - black only, Save, OK.

    At this point, the default should be project with black only.  Note that some programs may keep their default values.

  • HP Officejet 6100 cut the top of the page when printing

    I use a printer HP Officejet 6100 with Windows 8.  Sometimes the printer has trouble grasping the page to print. Printing starts at the top of the page - cut on top of what is being printed. Does not happen all the time, but often I have to reprint for a picture with appropriate boundaries. It's printin 4 photos per page.

    Hello Jlove25,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    When the Officejet 6100 struggled to pick up the papers, it is another type of paper that when he goes to pick it up? "The cleaning rollers would be my first suggestion, this guide will show you the rollers to clean: a ' Out of Paper ' Error Message on the computer and the printer is not Pick Up or paper feed.

    I would like to know if the cleaning help rolls the printer print on a more consistent basis for you.

  • Printer HP Officejet 6100; Win 7; Access the ink cartridges

    Printer HP Officejet 6100; Win 7;  If the ink cartridge access door is opened with the printer, the cartridge printheads do not change access.  No error reported.

    Well, couple of questions:

    First, they move with the door closed while printing, I want to say it actually prints, which would indicate that the transport is not stuck on the side? If it does not move, it may be blocked behind the paper or something inside the printer. It is not recommended to reach into the printer.

    Second, is there an indication (light/message) which shows the door is actually open? Otherwise, there is a tab inside the right side of the door near the label to ink cartridge number? It is located on the edge of the door, and goes into the printer indicating open or closed to the printer.

    If all this seems correct, try a hard reset on the printer. Powered on, unplug the power cord of the printer, wait at least 30 seconds, then plug the power supply cord. Turn on the printer and see if it will allow access to the cartridges.
