• iMac will not print to Deskjet 3050 a

  Hello

  I'm running an iMac in early 2008 with the operating system upgraded to OS X 10.7.2.  including all updates.  Just bought a Deskjet 3050 a and downloaded the software HP istall to the address on the HP site.

  Spent by the installation procedure except when it came to the question "install that Print" it didn't come with the identifier of the printer only.  so I couldn't continue.  Printing of diagnostic said no problems found congratulations on successful installation, etc.  However, even if the printer is connected it will not print.  What can I do?

  AHA!  I also noticed you are using a D-Link Extender, which indicates that you don't have a router.  According to your description of your Internet configuration, the device emitting IP (DHCP server) addresses is likely on a device outside your home.

  If this is the case, this device is likey to not allow devices to "talk" to each other on his network.

  If replace you your range extender with a router and all devices connected to the system should work perfectly.  Thoughts?

• iMac will not print correctly to Photosmart 2610xi

  I am running Snow Leopard and tried to install the original software using the CD for the printer so I can use the scan features. That did not work, so I went and downloaded the latest software suite on the site of HP for Snow Leopard. The printer responds, but the stalls and then prints a line of nonsense, then keeps continuous and ongoing. I have to stop the print job to stop smoking. Other computers on my home network print on the printer fine (Windows machines).

  I also tried the uninstall of the software suite, remove the printer and add it again. Nothing has worked. I get an error when you install the printer on the iMac that some of the software of the printer is missing and it may not work. Available at HP software installation does not solve anything.

  The software from the remnants of left of CD in your system that the standard uninstall program did not remove.  Reinstall the software from the CD, and then remove it with the option "scrubber":

  Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP
  Click on continue
  Highlight your device in the left pane
  Hold down the Ctrl and Opt Cmd and click on uninstall
  There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall all hp software. (At this point, if you continue, all HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
  Click on continue and let it finish

  Restart your Mac

  Now run a software update.

  Then, remove and reinstall the printer in System Preferences, Print & Fax.

  You do not have the software now since Snow Leopard as well print & scan drivers built-in. scan from Preview apps or Image Capture. Scan from the front panel of the printer does not work yet.

• Photosmart HP 6520 - black not printing

  I have a printer HP Photosmart 6520, it was working well until recently. A couple of days it color printing black with lines through their departure or much lighter than it should be. The ink level was almost empty, I bought a new set of 564 cartridges staples (genuine HP ink cartridges). After that I put them in the black was always light and got lighter with each printing. I cleaned the heads a few times, but has not made a difference. Finally the black stopped printing altogether.

  I have old ink cartridges, so I put in the dark, thinking that it was not good. Even the old one does not print, so this leads me to believe that the print head is clogged. On this model the head does not come out so I can't follow the posts on cleaning using this method. The printer is out of warranty this HP difficulty is not an option.

  Is there a way to clean the printhead without deleting? What other options can I here?

  @mikelbeck

  As it is a 6520 I would advise calling the HP helpline a call - even if it is out of warranty, as they will probably provide you with a replacement printer

• 4620 ink - black Office jet does not print

  Even if the ink level was at 20% level, not printing black ink. I cleaned the print head, but no resolution. Then, I bought a new HP cartridge at Staples and replaced the old. Still not printing black. Other colors ok. Went through a few hours of cleaning

  Any help? Thank you!

  So a new one under warranty? If so, I recommend to contact the HP support by phone for a replacement. Can you please let us know how you get on?

  Note, it is useful to make the last FW update...

• HP 8610: x 64 do not print correctly cut

  I snipped an element (using the Windows snipping tool) and pasted into a Word document.  When I view the document in the document print preview mode is correct.  When it prints the HP 8610 printed changes the size of the item snipped.  I tried to print the document using my old Pro from HP 8000 and it prints correctly snipped the element size.  However my 8000 old Pro does not print in color so I can't use it for this document.

  This isn't the first time the 8610 has changed the size of an item, snipped.  How can I solve the problem?

  Hi @socalobie,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I see you are having problems printing to a chiseled image correctly to your HP Officejet Pro 8616 e-all-in-one printer. I'd be happy to help you with this.

  In order for me to help you best, I can get more information.

  What format you save the image under?

  What program are you printing from?

  I recommend the following steps:

  Start with the capture of the image that you want to print, select Save Snip or click on the file-> record under-> Select the JPEG file-> save.

  

  Now, locate the image that you saved and double-click it to open it.

  It should open in Windows Photo Viewer.

  Choose Print-> Print-> choose your printer-> choose the right size of paper-> photo select to adjust the framework.

  

  See how that turns out.

  If you still experience problems, it could be a problem with the printer driver.

  Printing and scanning doctor will determine if the printer uses the correct driver. Please download and run the print and Scan doctor, it will be probably diagnose and fix the problem you are experiencing.

  What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (she print or scan, error messages)

  Please reply to this message with the result of your troubleshooting. I can't wait to hear strings attached good luck!

• Help! My M475dn MFP HP LaserJet Pro 400 color printer will NOT print!

  HP LaserJet Pro 400 color MFP-M475dn-CE863A

  Printer on a network and can connect to multiple computers that include: Mac OS X, Windows 7 and Windows XP.

  When I try to print from my iMac, the print queue of the printer says "the printer is not connected.  When we try to print from Windows computers, it is in the right queue and does not print.  When I go the printer itself and try to print a page of demonstration or page supplies directly to him, it says on the screen which is printed, but nothing happens.  This is not hum or anything!  The port where the network cable is connected is switched on green that says HP which means that the network cable is connected.  We've had this printer for a year now, and something like that never happened.

  I did not have any software or anything like that until this happened.  It was working fine on Saturday when we used it, but when we arrived at work today, he just decided that it would interrupt printing!

  I'm puzzled!  I tried 'ping' IP address of the printer from my iMac and it pings fine.  Does anyone have advice?

  (I tried to make of the obvious like too switch the printer on and off and shutting the computer down and nothing!)

  Okay, so I feel a bit stupid right now.  I decided that I would be closed the printer for about an hour to see if it was there, and what you know-it has been!  I had to turn it off several times before but I guess it wasn't long enough.  What a pain!

  Thanks to everyone who took the time to read this!  Sorry to waste time everyone!

• LaserJet P1102: do not print landscape

  It is surely not normal... I just said my new P1102 cannot print landscape.

  I have not heard this kind of thing being said since about 1987 Symphony finally worked out how to print spreadsheets in format landscape.

  Surely this is not right?

  Can peope really even printers that can't print landscape?

  My problem is this, my old HP printer died recently, so I bought this new, the P1102. Worked great until I tried to print the Excel calendar in the landscape. Just wouldn't do, just do print portrait regardless of what I tried to change the settings.

  Try printing landscape in other software too, but only ever printed portrait.

  Can someone either help me solve this oooooor (gulp...) confirm that this new printer can not print landscape.

  I am astounded that there are always done printers that can't print landscape... say it isn't so... Please...

  Incredible... I answer to my own problem of forum here as Support HP were unable to help me.

  My original problem was that I couldn't print any form on my new Laserjet P1102 landscape software.

  I called and they told me that P1102 'n' print landscape.

  I was stunned.

  Then the guy said that he was jumping on my computer to see if there was anything he could do, he did, and then confirmed my printer CANNOT print landscape.

  Confused I checked then a colleague who also has a P1102 (where my purchase) who say that he has no problem printing landscape at all.

  What the...

  I then noticed something... in my list of printers and devices, the new P1102 was referenced as follows:-

  XPS HP Professional Laserjet P1102...

  What is XPS......? ! My colleagues didn't say that.

  So I uninstalled the printer and re-installed. Now works fine and prints landscape most certainly!

  No idea what is XPS or why he was there, I do not, my printer now works fine, but HOW ON EARTH, a HP technical support guys can say this printer does not print landscape is beyond me. Easy to miss the XPS thing perhaps, but I can't imagine there was a printer cannot print landscape for 30 years so why he said that I have no idea.

  Thus, no faith in the team of support here, I'm afraid. Google has more help.

  E - less for HP, see the teacher!

• New M476NW Laserjet Pro do not print MS Word or Excel files

  I just bought a new printer color Laserjet Pro MFP M476nw. I am Sina MS Vista 32bits and MS Office 2007.

  The printer will print pictures, emails and I can make copies, etc, but I can not print Word files, envelopes from Word, Excel files, etc..

  Up to what my old HP Laserjet 4 p died the other day (internal short circuit) I was able to print everything. Spent 8 hours or so try everything I read from Microsoft, HP, etc., without success. Installed, uninstalled, reinstalled, ran diasgnostics, always without success.

  I can't communicate with anyone at HP for less than $99 to talk to a person. Very frustrating.

  As I said, the Word and Excel files printed fine until I bought the new M476nw printer. How can this be repaired?

  Thanks for letting me know that print and Scan Doctor helped you solve your problem and you print back.

• HP Laserjet M1132: Laserjet M1132 - is not printing

  Hello.

  Well, my printer scan correctly (in photoshop either), copy correctly.

  Problem: it's not printing from Windows.

  I have a sweet Wiindows (7 and 8 on laptop - same trouble)

  I connect printer - and nothing happens. Peviously printer created a virtual disk with the drivers and all was ok. Two last moments where he didn't.

  I reinstalled windows 7 spesially for delete a problem, because I need printer more then my progs on old Win game. Nothing happened when I connected (printer)

  I can still scan and copy, I can send to print docs in WORD for HP Laserjet M1132 - but that's all. It adds the queue and does not actually print. And some time later said "error - printing".

  Tried to put in place the new drivers, to find trouble with Win 7 troubleshooting - nothing helped.

  Doctor of HP, new drivers and disabling Win Firewall did not help.

  Adjustment of its CD drivers did not help - it is not at all a device.

  (Russia) screenshots: screen 1 , screen 2

  I installed it with "I'll connect printer later," restarted. Nothing.

  All my attempts to print a Windows test page, HP programs did not, as my camera is totally in depth.

  Printer repair center - they said that everything is ok, the printer works from Windows (Photo test page). But they are not programmers, so they won't help = |

  Somebody help...

• HP Laserjet pro P1606 does not print some pdf documents

  My HP laserjet P1606 does not print some pdf documents.  It is connected via USB to my imac (OS 10.7.5; Adobe Reader 9.5.5). My wireless HP Photosmart 6520 has no problem printing my pdf docs.   Not sure why some files pdf is able to print on the P1606 and others not.  All solutions?

  Hi @JL_MAC,.

  I understand that you are not able to print all the PDFs of the HP Laserjet P1606dn, but can the Photosmart 6520. I can help you with this.

  Run all the updates to Adobe Reader to see if that helps. The latest version is 11.0.

  It could be a problem with the language of the printer.

  The Laserjet P1606dn printer is failed and the printer Photosmart 6520 PCL3 GUI language.

  I hope this helps.

  Good day!
  Thank you.
