• HP photosmart 8250 test page has color photos and cyan lines

  I have a HP photosmart 8250 which had a paper jam, and then I got an error message that says the print carriage was stuck and deserved to be deleted. I set myself with the help of HP printed tips on this Web site. But now, with a test print, it shows cyan streaks a horizonal while all other colors are OK. These horizonal trails in cyan cause photos to be striped. I put in a new cyan cartridge, and it's the same horizontal sreaks in images. Don't know if a manual of instructions for my printer that would be discussed or not.

  I already reported this, my color cyan in HP Photosmart 8250 printer was streaked in my page series of tests, and the images are out streaked. HP had resolved just before my problem on this part of the aid of their website which began as with a "paper jam" error message, which quickly turned to an error message "unlock the printer cartridge. I followed HP suggestion for this, by opening the plastic top/door on the ink cartridges, then open the next door plastic inside and the movement of the cartridge that has been on the far right, left, as the instructions said and I saw a little piece of paper that I removed with a pen to write with the cap on.  I printed the test page, and then the color cyan was marked. HP said, do not have it in front of me now, but use the print mode 'Best '. And the streaks in the cyan color went. I ordered a new printer, HP, of course, because of the quality and the helpline in part, and it sits in my living room, unboxed, now, because my old printer does not work. HP just helped lined themselves on a sale. I'll send a new back. Thank you for everything.

• Color on a part of the graph is shaded - HP PhotoSmart 8250

  HP PhotoSmart 8250

  I try to print a graphic 4 "X 8" (shiny postcard) of a PDF file, but a part of a section of the image on one of the ends (1/3 of the printing area) is partially shaded transparent gray - in particular 1/2 of a face.

  Picture of the subject's head is placed in an oval graphic. The upper part of the grey area is a straight line that runs under the nose of the subject, and the lower part follows the edge curved graphic border (the face and the background resemble the entire bottom half is immersed in a water tank - like the person is in a fish bowl).

  I have test-print a 4 "X 6" photo on a similar document, and it prints well. I ran a test print, which was very good, and I downloaded an updated driver, but there is no improvement.

  It is quite frustrating! Thanks for any help you can give. -Cheryl

  Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the first driver that you recommended, but he offered no paper that I need - 4 X 8 inches. So I re-downloaded the drivers tried and original. I played a bit with the printer and Adobe settings (printing was worse the JPG file), and I managed to get a pretty good quality for printing. Fortunately, it was a one-time project, and print photos of standard size very well. I appreciate the input! -C

• HP photosmart Premium All in o: how to print in black ink only, when all the colors are empty except new black tank.

  In the past, I was able to print with cartridge black new xl size, although all colors are empty city black photo.

  I have upgraded to OS to win 10 and my printer does not print with black ink only.  I ran a test and black ink appears here.  I print a few things ok in black only before having to make a reset in progress and had to reinstall a ton of programs and software.  No matter what I do with the properties, it will not be printed on the page and try to use colorful tanks that are empty.  It was never a problem before using win 7.  Please help ASAP!

  There are a few things to check:

  • Make sure the paper type is set to plain paper.  If Auto is selected and is confused with the Photo paper paper or photo paper is selected only the color and photo cartridges will be used.  (The pigmented black ink cartridge is not compatible with photo paper).
  • Define advanced settings for printing in grayscale, black ink only.  Otherwise, the printer may by default using inks from color for chart areas, since this offers a better print quality due to the smaller droplets of ink color.

• Is it possible to print using black ink only with a photosmart 8250?

  I only need to print in black, and I just put in a new black ink cartridge.  The other cartridges are empty.  Is it possible to say to my mac to print using black ink only?  Everytime I go to print something, even a test page, he tells me to resolve the error (empty cartridges) first.  Thanks, I hope someone checks this Christmas Eve!

  The photosmart 8250 printhead a permanent.  If the printer has allowed iwith a missing color printing, it is likely that the print head gets dirty all the time and the printer would require service to retrieve.

  You will need to have sufficient in any color and black ink for this particular model.

  (There are many models of HP with integrated on the suplies of ink print heads.  These generally allow printing with empty cartrdiges or even absent, will automatically in the printing of 'reserve mode' using the available cartrdige.  Because of the standing print heads such a feature is not available with the Photosmart 8250.)

• Photosmart missing colors

  With the help of Photosmart series with Mac OS 10.7.4 C8100. Auto that Test Diagnostic Page shows that four of the six colours, lack light magenta and magenta. Of the four colors, illustrated with black streaks are exposed and the colors are not true. Information on the ink delivery system seems good. Did it routines clean head. Printer to align the attempts fail.

  Are you using genuine Hp unfilled ink cartridges?
  I'm sorry that you are having this problem with the printer, here is a link to a document that deals with the problems of alignment for you printer . He will have to run the printhead cleaning again on the printer.

  Also, for missing colors, I would replace the cartridges, if this step does not considered they might be defective. This printer does not have a removable print head, so manual cleaning and execution of the front side print head cleaning tool (that you already have) are other measures taken to address this problem. He offered to more than one level of cleaning when you have run the print head cleaning tool? If so I'd other levels each level is stronger to try to remove the obstructions of the nozzles.

  If after completing all of the steps, I then try a hard reset on the machine. No user settings are lost with a hard reset and it tries to put the printer in a working state whether this is possible.

  To do a hard reset:
  1. with the printer plugged directly into a wall outlet and turned on, unplug the power cord from the back of the printer.
  2 then unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  3. wait at least 30-60 seconds
  4. plug the power cord into the wall outlet first. If a module with the power cord, make sure that the light of the module and then reconnect power cord on the back of the printer
  5. the printer should power back on by itself, but if not use the power button on front panel to turn on machine.

• HP Photosmart 8250 doesn't print... brand new

  Photosmart 8250 - received the Member of the family, and it was never used. Connected easily, but window says ink expired... However, don't give me even a test page. I think that even if the ink dries, it would send the blank page. IE doesn't do no sound try to print etc. Diagnostics DL-says all right... Thank you

  Many of HP ink cartridges come with a "best before date" in them and if they are expired they does not print whether or not they are really dry. Looks like you need to replace them.

  PS When I tilted the printer to look below, it looks like a screw or something is rattling.

  Hello HFH-8250and welcome to the Forums of HP.

  I see that you have transportation problems.  I would try to help.

  I recommend you to perform a power reset.  Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

  I also recommend the rest of this paper on the 'Transport Jam' Message appears on the printer control panel.

  Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.

If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

  I understand that the rollers move, but you still get the same message. I recommend that you take a flashlight and the printer of the give a look deeper inside, to see you will find an obstruction. This could also be the result of a mechanical failure.

  Due to the age of the unit, it seems that we have more access to documents of support for your printer.

  I would like to do a hard reset to see if that will solve the problem.

  • Let the printer and disconnect the printer cable and the wall socket for 60 seconds.
  • Reconnect the power cable to the output of the printer and the wall, and not a surge protector. This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.
  • 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.

  Please use these documents as a guideline, they should be relevant:

  • A 'Paper jam' error on HP Photosmart C4200, C4340 and C4400 all-in-One series,
  • A Message appears 'Transport Jam' for HP Photosmart C4200, C4340 and C4400 Series C4500 all-in-One Printer.

• Photosmart 8250

  Steps on how to print from my HP Photosmart 8250 desktop computer. I want to print photos to "my pictures" in my desktop for my 8250 photo tray. It works very well insert a "chip", but does not select the photo tray when using the computer. It still prints from the paper tray.

  Hey stummer,.

  When you try to print the photos are you making sure to set the parameters of the print driver for the photo options?

  Such as:

  • Click on printer properties/Preferences in the print window
  • Select the paper/quality tab
  • Set the paper type to the correct photo paper
  • Adjust the tray to Photo tray selection
  • Set the quality to the best

  If you do not change these settings, then it will assume you want to continue to print from other parameters.

• HP photosmart 8250 does not print with vista Ultimate edition

  I recently installed vista ultimate and my HP Photosmart 8250 does more.  Print jobs are sitting in the queue with a status of "error - printing '." It's a usb printer. I deleted and reinstalled the printer, drivers updated, all the fixed HP update vista, ran the hp diagnostic program (shows all the errors). Check the port mapping (it's ok). Changed the cable.

  The printer works if I connect to a XP computer.

  I'm at the end of my abilities - at this point, I'm about to go back to XP. Any suggestions on how to make it work?

  problem was with the USB driver

  Motherboard is an ASUS - m4a78t-e

• Photosmart 8250: No "print in grayscale" in Snow Leopard

  Well, I just realized that my trusty HP Photosmart 8250 I've had for 4 years (still works well... built like a Sherman tank) doesn't have the "print in grayscale" function in the menu settings print after I've updated for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Even after the update for new drivers from HP, Apple and 10.6.1, they still don't come back. It is a huge disappointment, because I've used this feature often enough, especially for only black text documents.

  Inkjet printers HP or multifunction currently sold have the "print in grayscale" function under Snow Leopard, or plan to HP on adding this functionality in a future driver? I really didn't want to upgrade, as always, this printer works and has served me so well, but if he goes, it goes.

  Hello MFfan,

  I think that grayscale printing is supported with inkjet printers HP and 10.6.  I don't have your exact model, but the feature set is pretty much the same for all HP inkjet printers.

  I found the "Print in grayscale" option of the print - dialog box open the triangle so you see the print dialogue box extended.  Select the Type of paper/quality - open the triangle next to the menu of Options of color at the bottom in the center of the print dialog box.    In the "Color" menu, you should be able to choose the shades of gray, chip/sRGB color, etc.

  I hope it works for you,
