Photosmart 8150 print preview empty but pages of fine print

I use my Photosmart 8150 for years - since the first is out - with no real problems. Since then, in particular, web pages will display many pages, when I want to just one or two (and other reasons) I still have the "print preview show" selected. This way I can see what is happening to print on what page, then, if necessary, cancel and adjust pages is printed.

My problem is that recently I had to reinstall Win 7 and since then, almost everytime I have send something to the printer, the preview window opens, displays the correct number of pages to print, but they are all empty. In fact, once in the past 30-40 print content appears in pages; all the other times, they were empty.

This is not an isolated print of the web browser, but is the same of any s/w - Word, Photoshop and other programs. Can someone help me?

Hi Medraut,

Thanks for the information.

It's certainly an issue that you are experiencing.

I have provided a few more things, we can try,

Clearly on the record of spooling on the computer. Just follow the steps is this document to Windows 7: Print Spooler Queue - erase and reset.

Go to start, devices and printers, right click on the printer, left, click printer properties, click the Advanced tab and activate the print features is checked, apply the settings.

You could always install a generic driver to see if that will help. Please take a look at @Shane_R not

How to assign other print in different Versions of Windows drivers.

Let me know if that makes a difference.

Thank you.

  • Printing with Windows 8 Pro for HP Photosmart 8150

    Since I installed Windows 8 Pro to my computer, I can't print to my HP Photosmart 8150 printer. Online "says" HP driver is up to date, but I deleted and reinstalled in any case. Still not printing. If anyone has had this problem and how solve you this problem?

    Hello

    As a last resort, try this with your CD original if possible... If not, download the newest and use the extraction method...

    There are at least two programs installation of HP (applications) and possibly a setup Windows that will need to be changed.

    I was able to get the printer to work in uninstalling and reinstalling the software... BUT.

    I found to do this, you must go to

    Control Panel... Devices and printers... Right-click on the printer, and then remove the system.

    Then, uninstall and reinstall the software.

    Also, be sure to set the Compatibility Mode of the installer for Win 7 or earlier. XP SP3 seems to be a good universal choice.

    IMPORTANT...

    You should be able to get the software to install Original function if it is fairly recent.

    If you are using the CD, you will not extract anything...

    If your drivers moved there not because of an error message... .not the correct operating system, you will need to EXTRACT the Setup program in a FOLDER, such as a .zip file. You will need a program like WinZip, WinRar, 7Zip, or even to do.

    VERY IMPORTANT...

    After extraction, if necessary, set the Compatibility Mode of the Installer file and any other application on the CD-ROM or in the file. There are usuallyat least three installers for an HP printer. Then double the installation program

  • Photosmart 8150 disorder - Microsoft Word print black, everything is RED

    Hello

    My printer prints ONLY red in all programs except Microsoft Word. It prints only red in PowerPoint, Excel, Preview (PDF format) and Web pages. I tried out the color cartridge and having only one black; pages through the printer and come out blank. I tried to do black and white or grayscale settings, and it still comes out red. I cleaned the cartridges and printed tons of test pages. The test pages are always correct.

    I spent hours combing internet for more information about printing HP Photosmart 8150 in red by default in all programs EXCEPT Microsoft Word, but I have not found anything. I talked to Tech Support Applecare and we have reinstalled the printer driver, reset the printer to my Macbook settings and still cannot solve the problem. They told me to contact HP. I've had the printer for almost 5 years so it is old.

    If anyone can help please respond. I'm on Mac OS 10.5.8 with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

    Thank you

    I think it's a software problem.

    Let's start with a reset of the print system:

    -Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
    -Right (Ctrl) click the box of the print queue and select Reset Printing System.
    -Select the sign + to add again. Search for the printer, select it, and wait until the button 'Add' becomes available. Until it clicks.

    If this does not work, uninstall the HP software like this:

    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

    Now run a software update.

    Finally, reinstall the software from here.

  • HP Photosmart C309 printing blank pages

    Hello

    I have a HP Photosmart C309a printer which has worked well until recently. The problem seems to have started after the tray of food thing was hit and fall, but it is difficult to say for sure because I didn't print a few weeks after that. There is no visible damage to the tray, and it will lock in place without problem. Now it is just printing blank pages.

    I did a test print (print quality report), and this is what came out:

    http://i281.Photobucket.com/albums/kk222/coolbeverage/SCAN0008.jpg

    If I remember correctly, there are two black cartridges in your printer, the smallest with the symbol looks like two triangle pointing together, is the photo black ink, it is only used for printing photos. The greatest with the symbol of the Pentagon is ink black text. If the printer reports that non-empty black ink, but do not print text black (after 'cleaning print head'), there could be only two things, I'm afraid:
    1. the black printhead is dead and need replaced. or
    2. the passage of the ink cartridge to the print head does not, it will take a professional service (repair).

  • Photosmart 3210 print extra page after the installation of the Mavericks.

    HP Photosmart 3210 - old but already reliable.  Mavericks installed within the last few days.

    An additional page is printed after or before each document.  Page is strange for example 2345 X numbers.  or 2.

    Window printers and scanners (Options and supplies) says he uses pilot 4.0.4

    The line with 2345 X seems to be typed after the correct draw is complete, but page is not pushed to the next printed document is initiated. Line 2 is printed our apparently at random, when printer is idle.  Twice while I typed this

    I tried to delete the printer and reinstall after verifying the software update.  He has not fixed the problem.

    Hi wbt1,

    The patch is compatible with Snow Leopard 10.6, and I am confident that he will solve the problem. This HP Print Driver Update solves the problem with HP inkjet products that causes an extra page to print once planned.

    Hi @Alf3,

    Welcome to the HP Support forum.

    I understand that you have a HP Photosmart 8050 printer that prints blank pages. I would like to help with that.

    There is more support for the HP Photosmart 8050 printer available document any longer because it was added to the list of retirement of HP product.

    Here's a document, for a newer model of the HP Photosmart, that can be used to solve this problem, because the steps are generally the same - printer prints blank Page or does not print black or color ink.

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

    Why HP does not list this printer in the approved list?  They have the HP Officejet listed and many photosmart printers as well.

    No, not so easy.  AirPrint is a print 'unmanned' environment and must have hardware and firmware support in the printer in order to print.  Other applications are more than a traditional print driver-centric apps and can find and print to the printer on a network without him having to support AirPrint.

  • Not compatible HP Photosmart C4480 printer ink cartridge

    HI - first time here - I have a HP Photosmart C4480 printer and have recently installed a new black ink cartridge - genuine HP 350XL - bought in Tesco and already used a few times.  I printed a page today, and when I went to another printing, the printer says that the cartridge was incompatible.  I had not touched the printer between the prints. I tried out both cartridges and resettlement but still get the same message.  Also tried to turn again printer.

    I could understand if there was a problem with the cartridge and it was rejected as soon as I installed, but does not understand why this happens between the printing of pages.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Thank you

    Here a link to a document that addresses this cartridge error message that you get on the printer. It will give you troubleshooting to try in an effort to solve this problem with the printer. I hope this helps. If you reach the end of the document and have done all the solutions proposed by the document, would seek to substitute.

  • HP photosmart C4680: HP Photosmart C4680 printer

    Photosmart C4680 printer will print correctly. Problem follows:

    1. Press on print
    2. Printer makes a noise of switch for several seconds
    3. Athens printers normally feeding paper & prints correctly.

    Noise distribution is done before printing each page. Feeds correctly.

    Need help before ruining printer.

    Thanks John M.

    What a pleasure to receive a response. Unfortunately, took all the steps without success. You took note of cliqueti noise that continues after all the inspection. I observe that the rattling noise occurs when the transport is on the right side of the printer. When you move the carriage to the left & with a flashlight, I saw a black glob in the extreme right under where the transport would be. What key it seemed to be a deposit of black as ink. Do not think that this isn't the ink as empty cartridge or showing empty.

    The printer has served faithfully for time Believe + 5 years came for the replacement. However, t would be nice to know how this has happened.

    I thank for the help & you can be sure that the replacement will be a model of HP.

    Thank you venny1.
