Photosmart 6510 "Printer Error" and all lights flash

I have a 1.5 years, Photosmart 6510 B211a who works well. Now, all lights are flashing and or my USB connected PC (Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit), or my iPad or iPhone (OS 7) connected wireless will be printed.

When the printer is turned on it goes as usual, wireless and power light stay on and displays correctly (Apps, Snapfish, Photo, copy, Scan), I can print from all devices.

Symptoms:

1. in ~ 5 minutes, no noise, all LEDs (displays the screen "Please turn printer then turn it on again."

2 "(Printer Error is lit above screen, lights beside screen and power and wireless) starts to blink in unison"

printer does not print

3, every 10 seconds, a very low "short moan" noise, like something is trying to move inside the printer

4. when power is cycled it will again be print normally for about 5 minutes and then stop again with flashing lights.

Have you tried the following.

1. hard reset (more than once - fired power and USB)

2. uninstalled and reinstalled software and drivers

For any help or suggestion will be appreciated.

Possible solution

I had the same problem when I moved the printer to a new PC. To end, I decided to change the USB port to which the printer is connected to. well, it worked! Printer now work correctly for wired operation and wireless.

Not sure if I got a bad USB port or that the cable was not seated properly, or if the USB port had no authority to provide the connection to the printer.

Hope this helps someont with this problem.

    I have a HP officejet J6480 all-in-one printer. The screen is blank and there is this little yellow light flashes on the Cancel button.  I can not print or fax anything because the screen is empty. Since the light started to Flash the entire printer has not worked. Can someone please HELP! : womansad:

    Well, if you haven't tried this and then create a coercive power reset:

    Do not activate the wide (although you can), remove the power cord at the back of the printer. Wait at least 30 seconds, then reconnect the power cord to the printer. Turn on the printer. If that clears up the flashing light/white screen, then try printing etc...

    If this is not the case, see if something visible is originally the error state such as paper jam, odd items in the printer, nothing fancy. Also try to plug the printer directly into the wall outlet as opposed to a look/power surge Strip, or even try a Jack in another room if it is not successful.

  • Photosmart 6510: lines horizontal and top and bottom of page when scanning

    Hello

    Scans of the bucket of my Photosmart HP 6510 leave a horizontal line at the top and bottom of the page.

    I tried to adjust every page that I scan to align as straight as possible on the glass and this sometimes helps a bit.

    I am able to bypass the lines in culture to, but would prefer to find a real solution.

    Any help would be appreciated because I don't know a lot about the scanners, thanks!

    Welcome to the HP community @lgilb01,

    I wanted to tender hand to respond to your message on the lines that you notice when you scan to scan in your Photosmart 6510 bed. It seems to me that there could be some light enter when performing the analysis, causing lines. If you are only scanning one page at a time, the lines should not appear as they are now.

    Here is a troubleshooting guide for you to try. If the lines do not fade, contact HP directly to see about a replacement printer.

  • Photosmart 6510: Printer not found the new router

    Hello

    The Photosmart 6510 says that it is connected to the network of law with a beep sound intense, works with a usb cable and print a test without error page. BUT nothing comes out when I try to print something with wifi. It remains in the queue. Print and scan doctor finds nothing. WiFi worked before changing internet provider and so the router (I guess that's the name of the area which gives access to the internet). Tried to turn all market again and reinstall of the printer.

    The supplier offered to modify the number of IP printer, that has not helped. Using Windows 7.

    Any ideas?

    Thought I had answered this, but it is not displayed on the site.

    Now printing without cable USB between the router and the printer. I think it's helped the router to communicate the correct number of IP to the printer.

    Anyway, problem solved. Thanks for your efforts!

  • Photosmart 6510 printing on thick paper

    I am trying to print the map of 240gsm on my Photosmart 6510, which so far has worked flawlessly.

    Just rolls do not seem to be able to take it, but HP confirmed that this printer must be able to take in 280gsm card. The printer doesn't seem to be something print, then tells me I have a blockage, and the card must be withdrawn to the rear of the printer with a few black spots stained on the edge of it.

    I don't really want to pay their support costs HP (I'm outside the warranty period) to solve what should work just fine and is not due to the error on my part.  If anyone has experienced this kind of problem before, and if so, what was the solution?

    Printer was working fine.  Had to change the cartridge. First of all, I didn't have black and now I don't have much color either.  The printer says I had no real HP though now it shows that I do. I never bought my cartridges anywhere but the staples.  Printing October 2012 have changed many cartridges before you buy.  Followed everything I could find.  Still not printing.

    This model has a permanent print head, this video shows you how to access the print head, so you can manually clean the printer and soak the printhead, it's my own personal recommendation, not one of HPs, is to use the solution proposed in the following videos.  I suggest only doing this if the printer is out of warranty.

    Once you get to the clock at 3:20 minutes, you can stop this video.

Play video 01:24 minutes. HP 5510 will not print black and color - print head removed and cleaned.

    If you have completed all the above steps and your product still has a problem, service the product.

  • Photosmart 6510 print with only black print cartridge?

    Hi, can printing Photosmart 6510 in black & white (not gray, but b & w only) when the black ink cartridge is not empty, but all the other cartridges are? If the color cartridges are not already installed, it will always show b & w?

    Hello

    The 6510 PS will not work if the color cartridges are empty but the black ink.

    However, I think that it would be possible to print using only black ink but to do ink in the cartridges of colour as well because in case of maintenance color cartridges to do little ink in the print head maintenance routines.  When the head is friendly if there was no colour ink this part of the print head could heat upward too or overheat.

    Anyway, back to print in black only.  You mention that you do not want t p rint in black and white so you know where to look in the driver to get to this option. Then in Word, Excel or any program, go to the print function.  Click on properties. Click Advanced. You should see where you have levels of gray.  If you clock in the option box should reveal the other options will be "Black Only". Select this option.

    As I said you should be able to print using only black, but you will need the color cartridges ink.

    Hope this helps.

  • HP Photosmart 8450 printing error

    I have installed my HP Photosmart 8450 (using the hp site because I don't have my original installation disk) & whenever I try to print anything (including a test page) I get an error message...

    Or 'Printing on HP photosmart 8400 error series' "S in an error state" printer"" "

    My computers (laptop) operating system is: Windows8 (64-bit)

    I have already tried to "Troubleshooting" & installed the print/scan doctor & he did his work & said there is nothing to detect & I continued with the test & still can't print.

    I know the printer is working because I can put sticks of memory in the printer & print directly from the printer (no pc), but it seems that the computer & printer just are not interconnected

    Hi belleeyes,

    I did some research on these errors and found that they can be caused by cables that are not properly connected, corrupt, drivers, incompatible drivers, the printer settings, missing updates and problems with your printer. I recommend looking for defects found in the link below to fix the problem:

    After clicking the link, read the introduction, then click on step 1. Check the hardware. If this does not help, go to step 2, etc.

    My m1217 LAZERJET PRO was working fine, and then the ALERT and bright BUSY Flash. on every 3rd Flash, the wireless light. The screen says "initializing". I activated the device market several times, but he always does this... I have same re installed the software and tried the help and scan tool.

    @Dave840,

    Welcome to the HP community!

    I read your post on your LaserJet professional M1217 showing a busy light flashes and the wireless light showing from time to time. I personally think that there could be power fluctuations, and would first recommend ensuring that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet, avoiding any surge protector bars or blocks, extensions, etc.

    Also, try to update the firmware of the device. A USB cable will need to be connected to the computer during the update. Click on this link to join the firmware download: range of MFP HP LaserJet Pro M1217nfw
