• Photosmart more B209a_m: Virgin Super Hub does not connect with the wireless printer

  We recently upgraged to a new blank media 3 hub, the printer is connected to a Hp Windows Vista desktop via USB, other devices (laptops and tablets) could access the wireless printer when the computer is turned on.

  I also created the same printer to be used wireless by the other devices without the Office of marketing, it was a pain having to keep it logging on when he fell asleep. The printer had a different name if you are using one.

  After that the hub of the Virgin was installed I can is no longer using the printer without the Office being wireless, the new Center can not find the printer connects as is done before that other laptops, I had no problem with my old hub and a separate router.

  I've tried everything as suggested by Virgin (not much there) and reinstalled my drivers for the printer. Any suggestions what I can do?

• Photosmart 2570 series: series Photosmart 2570, all of a sudden does not print my labels!

  Hi Please someone help.

  I am trying to print labels I did before no problem, but now it will not print labels, it passes through the printer but, the labels come out blank.

  I use the merge feature and direct mail that I always do in Microsoft works, I can print a letter OK but not the help labels...

  I use windows 7

  Help, please

  Thank you

  Desperate

  Hi @fushia0_1,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I understand that your labels come out blank when using fusion and direct mail in windows 7 with your printer Photosmart 2570. I'd be happy to help direct you to the correct helpdesk. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

  I see that you would like to know how to solve this problem and that you are able to print letters perfectly well. Looks like there could be a problem with mail merge. HP Support Forums helps solve printing problems, but HP does not support third-party applications. You are able to print, but a feature is giving you issues.

  The only thing I would say is that you try to create a new label to see if you can print that.

  Please contact Microsoft customer service: 1 (800) 642-7676.

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

• Photosmart HP 7520: Scan to email does not work

  Hello

  For the last few days I am facing problems of scan to e-mail function. It gives me an error - "failed to connect to Web Services. "Confirm access to the internet and try again. I checked access to internet, is turned off and turned back on, but everything is fine, except that scanning to e-mail still does not work.

  I also tried the suggestion of manual entry of the DNS server in the DNS address configuration, but it does not work.

  Kindly help.

  Kind regards

  Hello @alok7,

  Welcome to the HP community!

  I understand that you have a problem with scanning to E-mail app on e-all-in-one printer, HP Photosmart 7520. I'd love to help you with this.

  Here are the steps I suggest to try everything first:

  Network Power Reset:

  We'll leave the router and unplug the power cable (NOTE: do not reset the router.), and then do the same with the printer and shut down the computer. After a minute, plug in the router, wait to fully turn on, then plug the printer back in and wait for the wireless light become solid. Once the router and the printer are on, go ahead and re - turn on the computer. This will refresh the network connection.

  Restore the default settings of the network and reconnect:

  1. on the front panel of the printer, press your up wireless icon

  2. Select settings.

  3. Select restore default network settings.

  4 turn on your printer.

  5. once it is initialized to save, press the wireless icon again.

  6. Select settings.

  7. Select Wireless Assistant , and then follow the prompts to enter the details of your wireless network.

  8. try to activate the web services again.

  Configure a manual DNS for your printer:

  You mentioned that you have already tried defining a manual DNS for your printer, DNS that you used. If you have not already tried so, I suggest to use primary like DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as the secondary DNS.

  If your web services connected, even if scanning to email does not work, you may need to reset the web services on the device.

  NOTE: Reset web services clears the custom email ePrint you have configured on your printer. Please be aware that if you have a personalized email ePrint, after doing this, you will need to configure again and will not be able to use the same address.

  1. press the Web Services button on the front panel.
  2. tap on settings.
  3. pressremove web services"and confirm deletion.
  This will bring you to the homepage.
  4. press on the icon Web Services , once again on the printer and go through the installation process.

  5. once the web service has been activated again, try to configure your scan to E-mail

  Please reply to let me know if these measures have helped to solve your problem.

  Thanks for posting!

  Hello

  I just installed all new cartridges (they are real HP). But it does not print black.

  I went so all the help which is suggersted in the forum. But, no luck.

  I think that the print head is probably bad.  I spent about $70.00 for four cartridge 564XL.

  I'm too lazy on the purchase of a new black cartridge.

  Also, when I try to scan the alignment page, it says not found alignment page.

  It's more than 3-4 years. So, I probably need to buy a new.   HP maintenance tool detects any problems.

  I just wish I have not wasted $70.00 for the cartridges.  A new HP printr costs less than...

• Photosmart C6380 AiO won't print black

  Hello

  We have a HP Photosmart C6380 all-in-one, that allows to print is darker. The photo in the black and color cartridges are OK I can say. This is the regular black which does not print.

  We had this happen the last time we changed the regular black ink cartridge. For some reason any the new cartridge was not print anything so temporarily, we went back to the old cartridge and it worked again. Then we took on the old cartridge and put in new cartridge and it continued to work. Now, the cartridge is about half empty and he left black print.

  This should not be a computer related question. But in the case where it is important: WIndows XP SP3. Sorry I don't know exactly what version of driver that I use but I ran HP update by the solution Center-> help-> Check for Updates and everything is up to date as far as I can tell.

  I tried to get the printer to print in black through the menus on the printer itself Setup-> tools-> Printer Status Report. He throws only a blank page. I tried to run the HP Hardware Diagnostic Utility. He points out that everything is fine, but, of course, when I told it to print a test page it launches a blank page.

  We finally gave up and put in a new black cartridge fresh (564 XL) and it does not print anything. Any suggestions?

  The printer seems to have spontaneously printed a test page with black text on it. No one said here of the printer to do a test page. The black cartridge now seems to work. Just a report of the status of the printer and everything seems OK.

• 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

  Spartanlia

  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.

• Why my PhotoSmart 7520 uses color to print black text?

  I noticed when I print the page "Print diagnostic quality", the printer uses the color cartridges to print text in black instead of the black cartridge "pure".  It is a loss of the color of the inks.  How can I get the printer (7520) to use the black cartridge for all black text?

  Thank you

  JayTee007

  The diagnosis page uses a mixture of color and black inks to print the text on the page.  This is so that the diagnostic information can be read, even if the black part does not work.  The behavior on the page of diagnosis does not reflect how normal text is printed.

  Note that if the photo paper is selected in the selection of media the printer will use only the color inks and photo to print black same text as black pigmented ink is not compatible with photo paper.

• Photosmart 210 a: won't print black after installing new print heads

  Hello, I bought and installed a new printhead. It will print color but not black.  They were all new cartridges when the print head went down.  the tools to say all the cartridges are full, please help.

  Hey there @LMACE!

  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  I see that your printer is not printing black once the print head had been replaced.  I would be more then happy to provide you with some suggestions that can make things work again.  The first thing I would suggest is to remove the cartridges and printheads the printer and manually clean the electrical contacts on the printhead and the printer.  It is possible ink sprayed on the copper contacts causing a bad connection, when the new print head has been installed.  If the printhead is not getting a good connection, you may notice messages on the printer error and poor print quality.

  To clean manually the printhead in the B210a Photosmart click here: manually clean the print head

  If please, after back and let me know how it goes!

• PhotoSmart Plus B209a won't print black notebook

  Printer does not print dark from NotePad or WordPad.  Will be print color of NotePad or WordPad (even when only one of the text) and will be black print of Irfanview, Web sites, etc.  Black print cartridge replaced new cartridge HP.  Printhead cleaning manually.  Clean by using the Toolbox.  HP ran troubleshooting.  Print uninstalled and reinstalled the software.

  Problem seems with black of NotePad and WordPad print only.

  Never mind - I think the section of for the black cartridge print head went south.  Replaced the B209a with the new printer.

  Thank you.

• Photosmart 5510 has suddenly stopped printing black

  I have a Photosmart 5510 new, which was working fine, then suddenly stopped printing black.  Replace the cartridge and still nothing.  Prints fine colour, but not black.  No error message, just jumps print anything in black.  Excluded bone by the attempt at analysis and still nothing.

  Yay! I'm happy now. I did the thing to chat online with technical support and that's what I got: on the front screen of the printer, press the arrow to the right, and you should see an icon "Setup." Press on that. Then press tools, then scroll down to "Clean print head." Press the key. When it's done it spits out a test page and voila! It now prints. I hope that this works for some of you all!
