OfficeJet Pro K5400 printer.

I get a light "Empty cartridge" (flashing) Cyan Ink Division even if I installed a new cartridge.  I reinstalled the cartridge several times (> 10) without success.

I use Windows 7 Pro. with SP1.

The printer is connected to your PC via a network, no USB cable.

Well, I solved the problem.  I assumed that the new HP ink cartridge was good, and he was not.  I went out and bought a new cartridge and the ink cartridge came out.  I reinstalled the new original cartridge and the ink light began to Flash again.  Reinstall the latest cartridge (bought today) and the light went out.

Once again, thank you for your help...  Drop this solution in your archives, will appear again with someone else.

  • 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.

    Scroll down this page and click on the + to expand the Windows section, then scroll down to the section on executing a cleaning of the Control Panel, click on the +.  It is said:
  • Officejet Pro K5400 printer - no solution center or equivalent on MAC

    I have a new iMac running OS x 10.9.3. During the process the K5400 printer in network has been found, drivers downloaded and everything seems to work fine. However there is no center of Solution being present on my Windows system, and if there is a HP Applications folder on my Mac, I can't find. I used the Solutiuon Center to check the ink level and other things.

    Question: is there a center of Solution for Mac and if is not there and equivalent and if not (one might wonder why not!) How to find things on this printer from my Mac, not having to go to the porinter in another part of the building.

    Thank you in advance for an answer!

    I found the answer to this problem, I asked. Apologies for experienced Mac users who I am sure that already know such things, but as a new convert Windows I don't have and this info can be useful similar folk.

    Click on Preferences system-> printers and Scanners-> the listed HP printer you want information on-> them status will take you to a set of options that will do everything that was available in the HP Windows solution Center.

    It is excellent and can work for another fact of printer--I know I do not have!

  • HP Officejet Pro K5400 print extra page after each print job

    I've updated HP software version 2.16.1 on my version of Mac OS X 10.7.5. After the update of the printer still prints an extra page after each print job. This delays the work according to the printer, because the printer flashes for about 5 minutes, then prints extra page and there always several 2-234 X. Don't know how to solve this problem, I already checked that the software is up to date. Is it possible to go back to a previous version of the HP update until a solution is found?

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • Problem with the HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer: clean the print heads each time it is turned on

    Hello everyone,

    the printer HP all-in-one Officejet Pro 8500 (A909a - product n. CB022A) clean the print heads whenever I turn it on. This problem affects any HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer, it is not a problem only of this one I bought. It is a boring bug and annoying because each power clean print heads on involves two bad disadvantages:

    1. waste of ink (each heads cleaning process consumes little ink);
    2. too much time (2-3 minutes) to prepare the printer after plugging.

    I upgraded my printer with the latest firmware available on the HP site (firmware ver. DLM1FN1006BR), but the bug is still present.

    At this point, I ask:

    1. There is a way (or procedure) to disable automatic cleaning this useless to all power on?
    2. Can we communicate with the HP engineers or tell me how to contact directly one of them to indicate the bug and request a new firmware updated?

    Please don't tell me to leave the printer on all the time or that the printheads to each cleaning power is normal behavior! Where then are power and ink savings claimed for this printer model?

    I hope that a solution to this problem. Thanks in advance to everyone will help me!

    Maintenance when the printer is turned on is normal and is required to keep the printheads in good health (not blocked). See here for more information.

    With respect to energy savings, the printer automatically goes to low power mode when the don't feel not for awhile.  It is not necessary turn the unit on to save energy.

  • OfficeJet pro 8000: Officejet pro 8000 prints the part of the document

    Have a problem with both networking Officejet pro 8000's. If you print a paginated document 4, printing two pages and stops, then 2 minutes he feeds a white sheet of paper in the printer, the printer hangs then error light on, who need to power cycle to restart. The network is in a school, unused printers for a few weeks, before now, they both work as it should.

    This problem is with a laptop with free Wi - Fi. However, even 4-page document sent to another that officejet pro 8000 prints as it should, and prints as it should when sent to a photocopier.

    The network of small schools there are ten computers wired to office, after trying to print from one of them, the same problem occurs with 2 of 4 pages printing, then a white sheet, then the printer hangs. This desktop computer will also print the same document on the photocopier without problem.

    Not very well where to go with this, help please!

    Problem solved, simply wanted the new cartridges!, but what I do not understand why the part of a document of four pages would be absolutely fine print, all the colors print as they should, then stop and hang. Power cycle printer, exactly the same result. Exactly the same on both 8000 printers?

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 prints incorrect color photo

    My new Officejet pro 8500 prints once accuate color. But then, when I print another photo that is Lavender in color.

    I restarted. I reinstalled it. The problem still persists. What else can I try?

    Gibas

    Hello Gibas,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    It might be possible that the poor quality of the image when printing with the 8500 is due to print heads. Given that you have uninstalled, restarted, etc it may be preferable to focus on them.

    You can try to clean the print heads, this guide will show you the correct way to clean: "the following printhead appears to be missing or corrupt" or "the following printhead has a problem" Message displays on the all-in-one.

    OfficeJet pro 8600 print a single vertical black line when using the charger

    Hi @realestatejeann,

    I see that you have found one black vertical line when using the ADF. With a few steps, we should be able to solve this problem.

    Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector) This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

    Here is a document for the cleaning of the glass Strip and the underside of the scanner cover.

    Vertical stripes, lines or streaks on Copies, faxes or scans.
