• HP Photosmart C4480 - blurry text when printing *.pdf

  Hi,

  I seem to be a common problem but can't seem to find a common solution. I have a printer [HP Photosmart C4480] who works well for ages. Now, however, seems to have problems printing pdf. As I said (or rather typed), This seems to be a common problem. In other sources on the internet, it is described as dark printed text or text that looks blurry (for example, here). It seems also the text is printed in a shade bluish the color of the font of the text itself is black. Just for the record:

  -J' restarted my computer. 3 times;

  -J' have 2 new hp original cartridge in the printer. The printer is aligned cleaned and everything;

  -L' printer is OK with other files (meaning not being not not *.pdf);

  -This isn't the files. They are ok. It's several files from several reliable sources (for example, my University) that all print sharp printers not HP. I would include a sample attachment, but I can't... O well. I'll add a link. You are here. (* Edit: link has been removed after the problem has been resolved).

  -The problem with the same printer on 5 consecutive laptops running Windows XP upwards and up to what Windows 8. All have the latest version of Adobe.

  -Adjustment of the color to print in black and white (only black and white) does not deny the problem.

  * Edit:-connected via USB.

  * Edit:-portable Test computer running Microsoft Windows 7 x 64 Home Premium (Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
  Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601).

  * Edit 2:-tried another cable USB (thanks for the suggestion Rich1!). Unfortunately, no results .

  * Edit 3:-problem solved partially. Software incompatibility between HP and Adobe. See the workaround. Only works for gray-scale printing.

  * Edit 4: Rich1 helped me to identify the problem. Seems that when printing the PDF files, the printer does not seem to use black ink and in turn simulates black by combining the primary colors (which gives all the quality of the results, where the blur). This problem also exists in Acrobat with Foxit substitution (for example).

  With sincere friendships.

  I think I've solved the problem, even though it may persist in color prints.

  HP, this seems to be a widespread between the printing software and Acrobat Reader problem. I suggest that you find a more permanent solution. First mention of the problem lies in 2008 and it is widespread, but you seem to be ignorant.

  As to the question.

  This question seems to raise its ugly head after an update to Acrobat Reader. Several sources confirm this. As is the case, software HP seems to be an incompatibility with Acrobat Reader. It sucks because it is the most popular format for sharing on the internet of documents.

  As for the solution.

  1. do not use any web application to print. Save the file. Open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader;

  2. open the print menu [file > print];

  3. click [Advanced] at the top right of the screen.

  4. under color management, check that box to the left of something to the effect of "let the printer choose colors". (I have an English version of the software Acrobat Reader installed, bear with me. Press [OK];

  5. to return to the main print window, go to the menu of [Properties] in the top right of the screen. It should be next to the menu advanced;

  6. in the Properties menu, select the [color] tab. Once there, select an item to the effect of "print in grayscale". Directly under this option must be a menu drop-down. In this menu, select "use only black ink. Press [OK];

  7 print the file. As long as you print in black and white, the focus should be good.

  Hope this helps someone else! If you like my solution, give this guy there Rich1 some kudo is such that at least he had the kindness to answer and help me solve this problem.

  Thank you!

• Photosmart 6520 clicking noise when printing

  When printing I hear a rattling noise, as if the gears are not mesh correctly when the carriage moves.

• Printer all-in-one Photosmart 7520 missing lines when printing

  The printer sometimes missing lines when printing and sometimes written trash (not English - words that can not be understood)

  Have run new diagnostic doctor software, but get a message that the printer is OK!

  Hello there Mike1945,

  Thanks for the reply!

  Then, I propose updates through Adobe and also fill out your Windows updates also.

  Adobe:

  Open Acrobat or Reader.
  Select help - search for updates. If a new update is available, it installs automatically.
  Once installed, you can restart a computer.
  Then try to print the PDF file.

  The instructions above from: PDF print troubleshoot | Acrobat, Reader

  Complete all available updates, even those in option select! - Updates to Windows Installer in Windows 7

  Let me know how it goes!

  Kind regards

• HP Officejet Pro 8600: HP Officejet Pro 8600 cut header/footer when printing duplex

  Hey guys, frustrating problem slowing of my work, appreciate anyone who takes the time to volunteer expertise.

  Print single sided, my Word template prints very well. Select "print on both sides", "flip long edge ' and the footer no longer appears in the preview before printing (or printing) more the header is visible only half (and half printed).  Microsoft have no idea (when did ever right?).

  0.75 from the top header

  0.35 bottom footer

  (NB. the two characters 100% on single-sided and about two weeks, both printed fine on double-sided also). Date: July 15, 2015

  Hello again @Matt_Roberts,

  Thanks for getting back to me!

  If you have been able to print double-sided with no problems before using the same printer and the computer, it is unlikely that the machine itself has suddenly become incapable.

  What I think, is that it has something to do with the driver on your computer. Windows 8 has an annoying habit to install multiple instances of the driver for your printer. For example, even if you have installed the printer with the complete HP software, because the operating system can see the wireless printer, it can automatically install a driver from Windows update as well.

  So here's what I suggest we try. Check your printer for several "HP Officejet 8600" icons file.

  1. From your desktop, right of slide to unlock bar charms, or press Win key + C on your keyboard.
  2. Select settings in the bar on the right.
  3. Select Control Panel
  4. Under hardware and sound, select devices and printers.

  We will remove all software and start over. Right-click on each icon that you see for your 8600 (even if there is only one) and select the device you want to delete or remove.

  Once the printer has been deleted. Restart your computer. Then, download and run the HP printer installation wizard. It will automatically detect your product and install the latest driver available from HP package.

  Hope this helps! Fingers crossed.

  

• Photosmart 6525: Blank Pages when printing is complete

  After a print job is completed, the PhotoSmart 6525 continues to feed the sheet after sheet of blank paper until one of the following conditions occurs:

  1. The printer is out of paper
  2. I managed to successfully cancel the job (what happens usually after that at least 10 blank pages have been through, the printer jams unless)
  3. The paper jams (usually after 5 or 6 white pages). This is what happens to 90% of the time.

  Troubleshooting steps I have already taken:

  1. Hard reset of the printer (three times)
  2. Clean all rollers (at least twice)
  3. Reset the print Mac (twice) subsystem
  4. Reinstall the latest version of the printer software (also at least twice).

  Nothing did. Any other suggestions? Otherwise, it will be the first (out of seven) HP printers I've owned that lasted less than six years (in this case, 18 months).

  Hey @Fogbear,

  At this point, I will send you a private Message with instructions on how to perform a reset of programming full semi on your printer.

  Please check your private Messages for instructions. Once the reset is complete, please test stand-alone print to see if the problem has been resolved.

  I look forward to hear from you!

• C309a series will not print black on coloured paper

  Can someone help me understand why my photosmart c309a will not be printed in black ink on colored paper?  The ink levels are fine.  If I put the white paper, it prints in black ink very well.  With colored paper, it prints in a strange greenish color.

  You specify a paper type or do you have the book type set to 'automatic '?  The automatic paper type setting can be confused by the color paper. Set the paper type to 'plain paper '.

• I have a photosmart c309a & ceased to print correctly

  I have a photosmart C309a and a Mac computer.  I have an OS x 10.5.8 when I try to print something from my email, I can not get the printer to work.

  I don't get the error messages.   The printer will start printing but displays only 4 words at the top of the page.   These words are from:, subject:, Date:, and Tme:.  The rest of the page is blank. The area beneath the orientation box said: Mail.

  I can get it to print only if there is an enclosure that I can open as a coupon. & then the area beneath the box orientation said Safari.

  I tried to print the printer status reports, but all I get are boxes with no words in them. The colors will print well.

  All I get are the colored lines & boxes.

  We will restore the print system:

  -Go to System Preferences > Print & Fax
  -Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
  WARNING - This will remove ALL your printers!
  -Select the sign more to add a printer. Select the default tab on the top of the window. Search for the printer, select it, and wait until the button 'Add' becomes available. Until it clicks.

• HP Photosmart C309A wrong size paper to print wireless from Mac OS 10.7.5

  We connected our HP Photosmart C309A AllinOne printer on a wireless network to our Mac computer running Mac OS 10.7.5. Almost whenever we try to print from any propgram he respnds with the following error message:

  Paper size error: paper selected in the printer driver does not match the paper size in the printer input tray.

  I have reset the size of the paper to the printer to letter 8.5 x 11, updated all the software of the computer and checked all the preferences.

  What should I do next?  The printer worked fine with 10.6.

  Thanks for your suggestions.  We are VERY frustrated.

• HP Photosmart C309a: Hp Photosmart C309a print issues

  I bought a new Black XL cartridge and installed, but after printing for a day, it will not print black ink. The level indicates that the cartridge is half full with ink.  I aligned the print heads and cleaned the print heads. I used the Print and Scan doctor on the computer, but is to show that everything is fine. I'm running out of options to solve the problem.

  I found this solution for 309 a does not print black.

• Photosmart C309a: Printer does not work after uninstalling and reinstalling to resolve the question of the HP Solution Center

  HP Solution Center has stopped working so I followed the advice of HP Support Assistant to uninstall and reinstall the printer.

  Cannot get printer to reinstall successfully, and more, none of the physical controls on the printer will work much longer, even the power of the power button.  Have to unplug the power off.

  Ironically, I found since the 'solution' through this forum to get Support HP Center works again by uninstalling a recent Windows Update, but do me no good now.

  I tried to uninstall and reinstall the software of the driver several times without success and I'm worried that the function keys not working not not at all on the printer indicates an internal matter that cannot be repaired.

  Anyone encountered this problem?

  Hello - Thanks for the reply.  Power the device power on and off has not fixed anything.  However, suspecting an internal firmware issue, I did a search on the web to see if there was a mechanism to reset.  I found a very useful website that describes three levels of resets, and the second level one (#6) fixed my problem.  I'm surprised HP doesn't have this information in its documentation or on its website.  I understand he has the potential to be used for the wrong purposes and perhaps make an irreparable problem, but it is clearly the solution to an inoperable Panel.  My printer was working fine before this problem and is now back to work again.

• Photosmart 3310 prints random colors even when printing black

  Photosmart 3310 prints random colors in color, print and even when printing black.  This happens with photos, copies and printing documents.  I cleaned the print heads, ran the scan/repair software that says that the printer works fine. tried color calibration and these charts don't print correctly to match the place.  The first printed grid gray background with the nuances of roses square.  Printed low rack square pink dark only on white, there was no way to calibrate.  I put in all new inks (hp only of course), and the printer recognized them.  I have unplugged, rebooted, uninstalled, installed again.  Help, please!  Thank you.

  I'm sorry you are still having the problem with the printer. You can always review the HP upgrade program. This is where you can buy a printer refurbished at a reduced price, which will be accompanied by a full factory warranty. These printers will also be eligible for care pack extensions too.  The number for USA and Canada customers to call is 1-800-474-6836. I am adviser to this program so that know all the options that are available to them when we're under warranty.
