Paper comes out clean

Everything seems to work properly, click on print, pop ups go, click on all of the right buttons, printer makes all the usual noises, head moves from one side to the other as its printing, but paper comes out clean as a whistle. No matter if printing DL files or the web. DL had updated, drivers and software, without help. no change.

I skip the part 'the printhead replacement' and just soak the printhead as described in the page here.  (I noticed the link redirects to the page evil of IE9, I'll just copy and paste the information below).

I would try the following: get a pan and put 1/2 "of very hot (not boiling) water in the bottom.  Then, remove all ink cartridges, then remove the print head Assembly.  Gently put the printhead nozzles down in water and soak for five minutes [not five hours, not for the night...].  Remove the printhead from the water and carefully dry the electrical contacts.  Put the print head in the printer and then reinstall the ink cartridges.  Instructions to remove the print head can be found in step 2, items 1-5 of this link. After the reinstallation of the print head and of the cartrdiges, you may need to run up to three cycles of cleaning of the façade or the Toolbox to restore the functioning.

Note: the above applies to printers with individual ink cartridges and print heads separated removable.  Printers of the example are:

    Hi jonathanmenn,

    I'm sorry to hear that your printer doesn't put ink on paper.

    There are a few things you can try.

    First try printing a diagnostic test.  You can find the steps in this document.

    If absolutely nothing appears on the page, you need to replace the ink cartridges.

    If you can get the page to print, you should be able to see if there are streaks and you will be able to check the status of your ink cartridges.

    Let me know how this turns out, and I'll try to help more.

  • When I want to copy or print from the scanner on my HP4500. It comes out all black.

    See above

    There is no paper on the scanner screen - the message says that it is

    Hi @OKC,

    I see by your post that when scanning, they come out all black. You also receive a message that the paper is on the scanner bed where there is none.  I can help you with this.

    I have provided a document to make a reset of the printer, the scanner, the lid and ADF glass cleaning.

    Reset will most likely solved the 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.

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

    Do not take into account the title.

    If the problem persists, please update the firmware of the printer. HP Officejet 4500 All - in - One Printer - drivers G510g.

    Please provide detailed results if you're still having problems.

    Good day!
    Thank you.

  • OfficeJet 4500: office jet 4500 pages come out blank

    I have a hp Office Jet 4500.  Lately when I print only blank pages come out.  It is still ink in the black cartridge, so I cleaned it according to the instructions from hp (printer only in manual mode). I still get blank pages.  I guess I have to buy a new ink cartridge, because sometimes they dry out before they are empty, but now I'm not sure that's the problem.

    This may seem a stupid question, (I don't know the correct names for parties), but is the bar with light, supposed to go under the glass when she prints?  I lifted the hood to see what was wrong and I noticed it wasn't moving, even if the light was on.  I never paid attention to the printer while it was working properly.  I would like to know whether to fix it before I have to waste money on an ink cartridge.  I know that the digital display informs you if there is a power outage, but it didn't.  Otherwise, the printer goes through its motions normally.

    Hello @epona1 , welcome to the Forums of HP!

    I read your post on how your Officejet 4500 is print is no longer with the ink to print outs. I want to help you!

    The bar with light I think you describe looks like this mechanism to scan, which does not move when you make prints, so I don't see that the question. The question seems sound, as for me, would be the printhead to the printer. I say this because you have tried to change ink already and the pages are always feel empty, when normally change the cartridge would help and fix this type of problem.

    Having said that, I suggest that try you this guide and try the steps it will list. It may possibly fix the problem of blank page for you. If not and the problem does not go away, call us directly to discuss your printing with HP options.

  • When I print, the printer sounds like its printing but nothing comes out on the page. What should do?

    I just installed an hp F4480 printer, my roommate gave me.  My OS is Windows XP.  When I try and print or copy something the printer looks like it's printing and the paper passes by like it is printing but nothing comes out on the page.  Perhaps is out of ink, I guess, but I don't know how to say and I don't want to spend $50 to get a new non-refundable ink cartridge to see.  I did a print test page and the only thing that came out was a light that said the Page of Test printer Windows XP Blue cap but nothing else was on the page.

    It's really a problem of HP, not a Windows problem, and you should look for the HP Support help site.

    However...

    One of the lights on the printer are flashing?  There are 2 'estimated ink level lights' on the front panel.  See http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01673672&tmp_track_link=ot_faqs/top_issues/en_us/c01673672/loc:3 & cc = us & dlc = en & lang = en & lc = en & product = 3742086

    Genuine HP ink cartridges are installed?  The cartridges have been completed?  How long did it that the printer is correctly printed?

    When you installed the printer, you have installed the "HP Toolbox" application (or you simply download and install the basic printer driver)?  See http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01892627&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&product=3742086#N44

  • M1212nf Scans come out huge when issued

    Hi all

    I read some posts here regarding the scans coming out in great, but none applies to the m1212nf that seems. The only option for scanning you get is "Scan." I went through all the settings, including the definition of the DPI, color mode, and the scan size. No matter what I change, when the PDF file is emitted, it comes out to about 34.44 x 45,10 inches when scanning a normal letter size paper. No matter if it's the scan to email or scan to file, this is the same result. Even using the preview TWAIN dialog box, it shows that it scans the right size ~ 8.5 x 11, but when issued in PDF format, shows like 34.44 x 45,10. I have two of them in our office, a network and a local USB. It happens on both of them on different computers, so it is not an isolated incident. If someone can you please give me any indication on how to fix this it would be appreciated.

    I had the same problem of pdf page size. They seem to have finally fixed in the new software download.

HOW TO SET THE PRINTER SETTINGS BY DEFAULT OR CHANGE WHAT IS PAST?   Oh it then, I'm not yelling, just noticed the hats were on.

    Hi @Jayburn,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I noticed that the back comes out on top down, when duplex printing with your HP Officejet 6700 Premium, Windows 7. I am pleased to see that for you!

    Please, take a look through this guide, print on both sides of the paper (duplex printing) for HP Officejet Premium 6700 e-all-in-one printer (H711). Follow the instructions for Windows.

    Guidelines General double-sided printing

    Do not print on both sides of the following types of paper, or paper jams may occur:

    • Transparencies
    • Envelopes
    • Photo paper
    • Glossy paper
    • Paper lighter than 60 g/m2 (16 lb).
    • Heavier than 105 g/m2 (28 lb) paper.

    Several kinds of paper require a specific orientation when you print on both sides of a sheet. It's letterhead, preprinted paper and paper with watermarks and pre-perfores holes. The printer will print the first side of the first book. Load the paper with the top edge first and the side to be printed facing downwards.

    I hope this helps!

  • If I try to print pictures from the picture library, they all come out in grayscale.

    HP PSC2355 All In One

    This printer has recently been attached to my new computer, HP 2MD2190CLF.

    Running Windows 7, 64-bit

    Settings are the same on the printer, as they were for old PC (XP) and laptop (Vista), that he was hooked up to.

    I am trying to print photos from the library of images and they come out in grayscale. I print documents and that they

    out in color, photos printed color print of the webcam webcams. Put the webcam image in the picture library

    and try to print grayscale. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

    The application that prints photos in the photo library maintains its own set of settings of the printer, separate from what can be defined elsewhere.  Select a photo, click on print and then click on 'options' in the bottom right.  From there you should be able to select the appropriate paper type and color printing.
