• Install HP Photosmart B210 fails (network) - "Printer Installation Failed" error messages

  Hi - I have a HP Pavilion Elite HPE on a home network with a wireless HP Photosmart B210 printer/scanner.  This configuration has worked for > 1.5 years, then about 2 weeks ago, I could not print from any application.  Win7 would post "cannot communicate with the printer.  Here's what I did:

  (1) uninstalled - reinstalled driver SW repeatedly - however, Win7 messages "Failed installation of the printer" at the end of the installation.

  (2) the HP print and scan doctor finds the printer wireless-, but can find no defects or problems. All green checkmarks

  (3) I copied/pasted the address of Web page in IE - in the Home tab's built-in Web server it States "system error - network connection error.

  (4) scanning works fine wirelessly and if I connect the printer via a USB cable - I can print.

  (5) I have a Lenovo and Ipad desktop computer on my network that impressions wireless - so, seems, the issue is with the Elite HPE only and not the router.

  (6) if I'm in Excel and select search for printer - I get the error "domain services active directory are currently unavailable.

  (7) I checked the printer spooler and it is started and set to automatic.

  I want to keep the ability to print wireless, however, if I can't solve this problem, I have to constantly connect via a USB port.  Any suggestions on what is wrong?  Thank you, Rob

  Hi Erico,

  Thanks for the reply.  I ran the "sfc/scannow" command from the line CMD (run as administrator) - completed without finding any breach of integrity.  I reinstalled SW from HP (PSB210_Basic_x64_231.exe) and installed without problem.  I was able to print a test page and a spreadsheet excel via the wireless network.

  It seems that this problem is solved.  Thank you for your help.

  Kind regards

• my HP photosmart Plus B210 won't print black. a cartridge Printhead Cleaner would help?

  my HP printer has been activated in May 2010.  How his cleaned print head?

  There is a document with steps to help solve the problems of print, such as no black print quality, in the B210 located here.

  If the steps documented not to get the backup device and go, then we have to determine the status of the guarantee. If the printer was purchased in May 2010 and has been purchased without carepack, then the printer is out of warranty.

  We can try a few things at this point:
  (1) can try to clean the printhead manually, by using workaround in the thread located here.
  (2) you can buy the print head for this device since the HP parts store using the CN642a part number. The HP parts store can be found here.
  (3) we can try to buy another printer, please consider to call the HP Technical Support and investigate the upgrade program.

  I hope this helps.

• HP Photosmart, 7515 won't print black

  I tried all the recommendations, I could find nothing doesn't.  Head cleaned and followed instructions in the tools of the printer.  I know that many have had this same problem and have found a way to solve the problem.  Any recommendations?

  In the paper here troubleshooting steps can help solve the black does not print on your Photosmart 7515.  Be sure to check the vents, as on the three solution.

  If the first four solutions do not resolve the problem I would say soak the printhead as described in the post here before considering to replace the print head.

• HP Photosmart b109n won't print black

• HP photosmart 6510 won't print black.

  I've done all the troubleshooting several times, still nothing.

  When I print the printer status report, there are black square brackets around each colour, but not black rectangle in black space.  I tried to copy a printout (no color) and the page is blank.  I cleaned the black cartridge screen gently with a paper towel, still nothing.  I tried 2 new black cartridges.  Printer was working fine, then that.

  I found a solution! My printer was also not print black, but I knew it wasn't a problem of ink because it was a new cartridge, I cleaned the print head with every suggestion I could find, and on the test pages it was printing black in square brackets the colored lines. It was a software problem.  Another post suggested using the drivers replacing for a paper size error. Please see the link below on how to choose replacement drivers...

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/printer-all-in-one-software-drivers/how-to-assign-alternate-print-drivers-in-different-versions/TD-p/1957011

  I chose HP Photosmart 3300 drivers because this printer had similar features, including wireless printing. It worked! I hope this helps!

• I have a photosmart b210 which began printing all my black in gray, the color is very well

  My photosmart started printing any black ink in gray scale. the color is fine, but it's boring. I did matenence, such as cleaning the printheads, printer status report, report print quality (and that was even printed in dark gray)... what should I do?

  OK, let me clarify:

  • Black ink is not used when printing on Photo paper, because it is pigmented and not compatible with shiny media.
  • The most likely issue is having the vents blocked as described in the link I gave you a link.  My post in the link "soak the printhead" told to check first the items displayed in the link, that includes details of the ink level checking and vents are clear.
  • Another likely possibility is the use of third party inks.  Using HP replacement ink ink or a third party?
  • If you do not want to follow the suggestions here then Contact HP for warranty repair.  If you use third party, that repairs are not likely to be covered, ink HP accepts no liability for the quality of third party products.

• Photosmart 2610 won't print pictures with Windows 7 - Please HELP!

  My HP Photosmart 2610 all-in-one will print any photos on my new computer.  He used to work, but he stopped.  It still prints Word and Excel.  I tried several downloads without result.  If I plug my computer dinosaur with XP I can print photos.

  I get no error messages.  It is said he sends to the printer, but when I check the queue of the printer, nothing showed.  I always, I can't understand if it is a problem of MS or HP problem.  Somehow the communication between the two is getting lost, but since it still prints of word and excel, I am at a loss as to where the problem lies.

  I spent hours and days on this!  I am told by my friends that are good at computers "HP is the worst."  Is this the case?

  Hey Ashenk. If the printer prints from another PC perfectly, then I wouldn't think the printer to be the problem. It is possible that the print queue has had a hiccup and it needs to be reset. Here's how to reset:

  1. press on the ORB start lower-left on the screen.

  2. click on 'run '.

  3 type "services.msc" (without the quotes)

  4. Locate the print spooler service in the right column

  5. click on restart the service on the left link

  Let me know if that solves the problem.

  Thank you

• HP Photosmart C4780 won't print from my wireless laptop.

  I have a Photosmart C4780 who don't print to my HP laptop.  I have a Cisco Linkys router connected to a modem Rogers.  My laptop shows an error in the printer.  Can you please help me.

  Oh, you must keep the firewall on the installation.  The installation software configures the firewall for your installation.

  I reinstall the printer with the active firewall.  Go to control panel > printers & devices and delete the printer.  Then click Start > all programs > Hewlett-Packard > C4700 series and 'add a device '.  All this with your firewall active.

• HP Photosmart 2610 won't print

  I have a HP photosmart 2610 which is connected to my WIFI.  It works with my laptop running XP and my laptop running Windows 7 and my wife XP PC.  However, it will not work with my PC under XP.  In other words, it works after a reload of software driver until I reboot my machine and then try to print any document sets in printing (QC) I can't understand what is wrong.  My PC and my wife are identical Dell 3000. HELP thank you

  I've talked about what was going on here with my colleagues.  Everything you described, you may need to perform a restore of the system on your computer.  Be sure to backup all your data first, and then do a reinstall of XP or do a factory restore.  Once the restore is complete, try to reinstall the printer.  Let me know what happens.
