OfficeJet Pro K5400 - loss of functionality in Windows 7

Since the upgrade of our PC from XP to Windows 7, we have experienced a huge loss of functionality when printing our of Officejet Pro K5400 (cannot print to the edge of the pages, can not specify substrates, change the resolution, etc.)

Our HP reseller from whom we bought the printer actually just washed their hands of this issue "that's the way things are, HP are better than many other manufacturers to provide drivers for the existing hardware, update of the operating system".

It seems ridiculous to me that HP will feel it is reasonable to not continue to support relatively recent kit parts that work well - just another example of built in obsolescence? Is there a way we can restore the missing feature? How about you, Vista driver - is that have relevance?

Come on HP - standing behind your product and we restore the characteristics that we need to make this useful printer once again!

This printer driver must be included in Windows 7 already.

Here is the document that I found for your printer when I was looking for the drivers:

  • OfficeJet Pro K5400

    First of all, I thank very you MUCH, for this day for free help!

    I had my Officejet Pro K5400 for several years.  Great performance.

    I am on Windows 7 and Office 2010.

    About 2 weeks ago, I started having bad print quality.  Read my manual and got to the line for the tips of the latter.

    Replace all color cartridges.  No improvement.

    Has replaced the two print heads.  PERFECT! ….. for 2 days.

    Walked to the office this morning and the two printer lights are flashing and the green power button.

    Got online and went through every process of HP solution to

    http://h20566.www2.HP.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.page/public/KB/docDisplay/?spf_p.TPST=kbDocDispl...

    No improvement whatsoever.

    I read that some issues may be related to Printer Spooler, but I don't know anything about.

    VERY discouraged after spending so much on the new cartridges and print heads.

    I have my original printer software installation disc.

    Hope you can help.

    Interesting (loan of four another printer cartridges and don't see any printing).  It would make sense to me and I know that I wouldn't think about a problem connecting microsoft HP.  I'd be inclined to think that your printer, independent of all cartridges, got stuck trying to talk to the cartridges.  You could put the four cartridges borrowed from the other printer, then try to send the image of the diagonal lines on the printer, I hope everything will work correctly.  If Yes, then I would work on your printer, not on the cartridge (more correctly, the combination of the head of printing/tank) but on the points of contact on the printer that connect to the cartridge.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro K5400 print is Cyan and yellow all of a sudden. Help, please...

    OfficeJet Pro K5400 Cyan and yellow just stopped working at the same time (very strange).  I have read almost every post and tried almost everything including diagnostic tests that show that all is well (via the keys on the printer), test and all the other available tests in the manual of HP cleaning several times.  The diagnostic test shows no problem and brand new and full cartridges to max.  However the diagnostic characters shows that black and Magenta, but no Cyan, yellow or any other color.  I took out the printheads, cleaned connectors, soak the heads and everything else you can imagine and not luck. I need to have finished the power and "hard reset" on a dozen times.  I can't imagine that two printhead (cyan on a yellow on the other) has just decided to die at the same time.  I can't be driver/software related because I did the tests directly from the printer.  The only thing I can think is maybe cyan and yellow parched when I took out the cartridges at staples with me to reference.  All cartridges have been taken out of the printer for 2 weeks or more.  Any thoughts?

    Ouch - two weeks with the cartridges removed probably allowed 'plumbing' between the cartridges and printer to dry and clog.  If the print head and cartridges were never removed and it is also possible for the tubes to drain and air to block channels of ink.

    You tried to clean the printhead a couple of times, I suggest three levels of cleaning in the sequence of head running.  Each level of cleaning up to three will be a more energetic cleaning.  You have probably already found the Troubleshooting page here.

  • FIC Ip HP Officejet Pro K5400

    I'm helping friends with their HP Officejet Pro K5400, which is connected to a router that cannot use fixed IP addresses. Is it possible to set up a fixed IP with the printer?

    We will set an IP address of the printer:

    -Print a the front of the printer Network Setup Page. Note the IP address of the printer.
    -Enter the IP address in a browser to reveal the internal settings of the printer.
    -Choose the network tab, then wireless along the left side, then on the IPv4 tab.
    -On this screen, you want to set a manual IP address. You must assign an IP address outside the range that the router sets automatically (called the DHCP range). You can change the DHCP of the router range using its internal settings page.
    -Apply the subnet 255.255.255.0 (unless you know it's different, if so, use it)
    -Enter the IP of your router (on the Page of the Network Config) for the bridge and the first DNS. Let the second white.
    -Click 'apply '.

    Now, stop the router and printer, start the router, wait, and then start printing.

    After that, you will have to redo 'Add printer' using the new IP address.

    After that I have upgraded to Windows 10 and Word 2016, envelope and label printing feature would no longer work on all-in-one printer, HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Premium.  Please provide any possible solution.

    Hi @dshirley22,

    Thanks for the response back.

    I would at this point uninstall all previously installed printer software. If you need assistance, here is a document that can help - uninstalling the software of the printer (Windows).

    Once the software is uninstalled, use the HP printer installation wizard to help install the software. This tool will search and find the version of the drivers and the printer software up-to-date.

    Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance.

  • All-in-one Officejet Pro L7780: driver HP Officejet Pro L7780 will not install with Windows 10

    Recently, my HP Officejet Pro L7780 stopped printing. I uninstalled the driver and then reinstalled the driver from the HP website. Every time, when installing, I get a message that "bing bar does not work on this version of Windows. Once the installation is complete, the test page is fine but I can't print from one of the applications (e.g., WORD, Adobe Acrobat, etc.), getting an "Error printing" message, rather than each time.

    I use Windows 10. The printer was working fine since I've upgraded to Windows 10 until recently.

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the driver several times as suggested on the HP website. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem.

    Thank you.

    Hello @AMNYC2015and welcome to the Forums of HP, I hope you enjoy your experience!

    I see that you are having errors in the print driver. I would like to help!

    I recommend to remove the cartridges ink and starting by 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.

    I also recommend running the HP Print and Scan doctor.

    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. If this solves the problem, click on accept the Solution below, as well as others to find the answer.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 scans to the computer windows 7

    I am using Windows 7 on my desktop at home for the first time (since a few weeks ago). I got this HP Officejet Pro 8600 for at least a year now, and it was easy scan documents using my Windows XP.

    This morning, I scanned a document on the Windows 7 system, but tonight the icon ("HP Officejet Pro 8600") does not show the scan option. I am stunned. I need to scan more than a few documents and cannot find out how to access this feature. Help, please!

    Hi delphine and welcome to the forums of HP!

    I see you have a 8600 Officejet which seems to no longer provide the analysis option. I will certainly do my best so that he could share with you scanning capabilities

    It's really weird that you get is no longer the option scan so I suggest that you run the HP print and Scan Doctor and see if it finds problems first. If she says that everything out very well we should be able to get an icon on your desktop HP Scan so that you can just open it directly.

    To do this, click the start menu, click programs principally made, click the HP folder, click on the HP Officejet Pro 8600 folder and then right click on the HP Scan, select send to and Desktop. Then, you will see an icon on your desktop that says HP Scan and you don't have to go through the HP printer Assistant longer.

    I would like to know how it goes for you!

Juct works fine with Win7... Help!

    Not that I know of. You can try emailing HP on it, but I doubt that it gets very far. Engineers and officials of this Department, are those that determine if the new firmware written is worth 'investing', and generally they do not write new firmware for printers that are more than 3 years. I'm sorry.
