  • OfficeJet 6700 Premium: HP Officejet 6700 suddenly will not print wireless

    I used my printer with my iMac, iPhone and iPad wireless with no problems, but today when I want to print wireless suddenly nothing happens. When I check the printer queue to see what the problem is, everything seems fine, it says: "printing - the printer is in use", but nothing happens in the printer. I clear the queue and you try to print a PDF document, a website, an email... but the printer does not have one of this command. I check the wifi conection and they are both connected to the same network. I am able to print the status report and the network directly from the printer Configuration Page.

    I have run out of ideas of how to solve this problem, apart from the connection with the USB cable, which will solve the problem of computer printing, but not from mobile devices.

    Do you have any sugestion for this problem?

    Easy things first. Power off the printer and the router. Turn on the router and wait 3 min. turn on printer and check that it connect to your router. Try now.

  • Photosmart B109a-m printer suddenly will not print.

    My Photosmart B109a-m printer suddenly will not print. It worked last night and no connections or settings have been affected since then.  It will not print the test page and the printer Utulity advises that means a problem with the printer, not the computer.  The computer shows it sends data to the printer and indicates that it is printing but nothing happens with the printer.  Any ideas how can I fix?  I'm on an iMac with Lion.

    How is the printer connected?

    Try to reset the printing system:

    -Go to System Preferences > print & Scan
    -Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - This will remove ALL your printers!
    -Select the sign more to add a printer. Select the default tab on the top of the window. Search for the printer, select it, and wait until the button 'Add' becomes available. Until it clicks.

    How to print a test page to make sure that this printer is still operational?

    I tried all the instructions release possible jams printer, deleted and reinserted the printheads and clean the rollers.  When you press the keys on the front of the printer, it will not print a test page.  and no led error display.

    The printer has been connected to another computer and stopped working last summer.  The printer does not respond to commands from the computer, nor would he respond to the keys on the front of the printer itself.  I can get the printhead to move using the controls on the front of the printer, however.  The printer is not currently connected to any computer and the nearest computer has not installed the appropriate drivers.  Initially the printer is connected to a desktop computer Dell Windows XP (sp 3).

    Here's how to print a self-test of the control panel page.

  • HP Officejet J4680 series: all-in-one HP Officejet J4680 series will not print Word documents

    My HP Officejet J4680 all-in-one ink jet printer will not print in Word 2010 documents. It will print .pdf and Excel 2010 documents. I ran printing HP and doctor Scan and check it and put to date and said all is fine. Just around checking on my computer it said in the devices that the printer is ok. I printed the test from the doctor of Hp Plug and it came out ok. Seems so that Word documents are the only problem. I installed Windows 10 earlier so not totally sure that's the problem I don't remember if I used the word since installation up to now.

    I bought this printer in 2010 and have had no problems with it and I can tell you that I have printed a large NUMBER of pages.

    Any ideas how to get this printer working?

    Thank you!

  • HP officejet 8500 has more will not print black and white because the color cartridge is low

    I have entered the property and set it to 'levels of gray' and 'use black ink only', but the printer still will not print because "the yellow ink cartridge is low.

    incredibly frustrating that the cartridges of color completely stop you from printing, even if you are trying to print in color.

    Proffessional OS-windows 7

    is there a known solution for this?

    Unfortunately, the printer does not print until the replacement of the yellow ink. There is no work around for low ink message.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8210: Officejet Pro 8210 will not print - need to finish the setup message

    I have installed, implemented the 8210 OfficeJet Pro, HP Universal print driver HE managed mode, installed ink cartridges and printer alignment sheet printed.

    I plugged it in via USB, and the system set up the printer correctly.  I went to print a test page and the printer displays the following message:

    'To print, you must complete the installation.  Press OK and follow the instructions or choose? ».  I press OK, but nothing is displayed, it just goes back to the main menu and the help screen is useless.

    I can print reports in the menu of the printer very well, it will not just print the system Windows 10.

    I've implemented 8 of them exactly the same way with no problems.  I think I can try free managed mode.

    Does anyone know how to reset the printer to factory specifications, so I can restart the entire process to help self-directed mode?

    I took a cat with HP to solve the problem yesterday.  We had to install the full version of the software rather than the base driver.

    It's strange because I had a different Pro OfficeJet 8210 on my work system a few days earlier by using the old driver.

    In any case, it worked, so the problem is solved.  Sorry for without closing the post earlier.

  • Now my HP Officejet Pro more will not print Photos or anything else!

    Here I am once more.  I finally solved the problem that I had been downloading the software for my HP printer after that I downloaded Windows 10.  I could not download any software without getting an error message 'download cancelled '.  I was able to print pictures and letters typed with WordPerfect X 6.  I'm embarrassed to say that I accidentally fell into the solution and now I can scan, send faxes again.  Yay!  Problem is NOW, I'm more able to print photos, or anything else!  I go through all the motions and send the message to the printer to print, but nothing happens.  I have already run the hppiw.exe and configure the printer.  When I try to run the HPPSdr.exe, he unzips the file, the printer appears as "installed" and click on the 'Next', I get a screen with 3 different ways to connect the printer to my computer - I choose USB because it'S the way I was connected.  Then I get a message telling me to do that my printer is on (it is)!  and try a different USB port (I have) or try another USB cable (I HAVE!)  OK, so FINALLY I get to the point where I am able to print on a HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g series Print Page of Diagnostic quality, AND DOES IT!    But I also know there is a problem with the software and I need to uninstall and click the Support link and the Driver to download new software.  But when I click on the link, I'm told I'm not connected to the internet - here we are again.  I'm exhausted.  I am 65 years old and I've been at this for 96 hours.  I've corrected the problems of scanning, but now I can't print while yesterday I was able to do it!   Arrrrggggghhhhhh.

    Can someone tell me why I get the message 'not connected' when in fact I AM connected to the internet?  sigh/smh

  • PES 9 suddenly will not open files of pse - due to the "program error".

    The program was working fine yesterday and now all of a sudden does not open PES files created yesterday or today. The error message says "Cannot complete the action due to program error". I'll need to deactivate and reinstall - and if so, how do I do that? Do I lose all brushes loaded into presets, all of the files currently not able to open if I do this?

    Resettlement is unlikely to solve this problem. Start by removing the preferences: quit the editor, and then restart it all holding the key ctrl + shift + option (command-shift-option on the mac). Keep the key down until you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.
