Photosmart c309a will not print documents or test pages

I have uninstall and reinstall Full Version software, twice and I still can not print documents or test pages. I use the Photosmart C309a. Can you help me

Georgebob

Last updated, at 01:10, estimated the printer works now. I installed the new print head, and as a first step, I have no positive results. Then I tried the printer alignment... that did the trick. The printer works now.

Now, I wonder if it was the culprit with the old print head (alignment) maybe it's always good. I'll hold on, events, if necessary. Thanks for your help and mucho laurels.

    Hello Elwin Cathcart,

    Thank you for your message.  You mentioned that you have installed new drivers, do you have the driver on the HP site or have you used the CD that came with your printer? Click HERE for the 32-bit driver (there is also a 64-bit) from the HP website.  Several times, the driver who has been issued with the printer is outdated.  Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem.

  • Printer is offline and will not print documents

    Printer is offline and will not print documents, the rocker switch "Printer offline" option is not available and it is constantly check on 'printer offline '.

    How can I fix this so I can print the necessary documents?

    Hello destiny.

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.

    The description of the problem seems a little unclear and I wish I had a better understanding before you start working on it. I would be grateful if you could help me with more information.

    • Is the printer connected directly to the PC or it is on a network?
    • What is a printer wired or wireless?
    • What is the brand and model of the printer?

    Try the following and see if it helps.

    Method 1: Disable Antivirus

    If you have installed any third party such as antivirus or firewall security software, I would say you temporarily disable and check if it works.

    Disable the anti-virus software

     

    Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attack.

    Method 2: Update the drivers for your printer.

    For more information, see these links:

    Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

    Find and install printer drivers
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/find-and-install-printer-drivers


    Method 3: Restart the print spooler service.

    You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.
    a. open administrative tools by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type administrative tools, and then click Administrative Tools.
    b. double-click on Services.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    c. right-click the print spooler service and then click Properties.
    d. on the general tab, next to startup type, make sure that automatic is selected.
    e. If the service is not already running, under Service status, click Start and then click OK.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation,
    type the password or provide confirmation.

    If nothing works, then manually add the printer to the local port and check.

    Method 4: Manually add the printer to the local port.

    a. go to control panel and click on devices and printers.
    b. click Add a printer, and then select Add a local printer. Click on create a new port. The default value in the drop-down list is Local Port. Don't change that.
    c. click Next.
    A dialog box appears for you request that you enter a port name. Type the name of \\computer name\printer.
    d. type your user name and the name of the printer (name \\PC\printer)
    e. click ok and exit.

  • New Photosmart 5520 will not print in black

    I have a new HP Photosmart 5520 printer all-in-one.  Black ink ran out so I replaced it with a previously used ink cartridge which is of the same type # 564 but a XL version.  This cartridge has been barely used.  Now, I just can't get anything to print in black.  It will print in color, but not black.  I tried to turn off the printer.  I put the cartridge in my printer and it worked fine.  What should I do?

  • HP Photosmart c309a: HP Photosmart c309a will not re - install

    I had printing problems with my HP Photosmart c309a. The print queue says printer is offline. I did a few things that have worked before, unplugged the printer and plugged, computer, etc.. So I decided to uninstall the printer and reinstall it. It worked in the past. I can't get the printer to re - install. I download and installed the drivers, still would not re - install. I used the CD that came with the printer to try to re - install, but it is said that the Windows operating system is not compatible with this printer. I have Windows 7 (64-bit) and use this computer with this OS and this printer for four years without problem. Any suggestions? The system would update yesterday. The OS is Windows 7 Service Pack 1, 64-bit.

  • PHOTOSMART 5520 WILL NOT PRINT BLACK

    I just replaced the cartridges for my PHOTOSMART 5520.

    After that, color printing has no black color.

    All HP cartridges are not new.

    It's very frustrating.

    for some unknown reason, this problem is gone when I tried printing 2 weeks later.

    To summarize:

    I'm in the United States.

    I replaced the 4 cartridges again purchased at HP online.

    After that, the black will not print if I choose to print in color.

    But if I print in "black and white only", black is in fact works very well.

    I tried everything suggested in the web forum such as cleaning, alignment, prower AC cycle,... etc. He has not fixed the problem.

    I stop using the printer for 2 weeks. But yesterday, I try agin, then the problem is gone.

    I don't know what to say. Thanks to HP for assistance.

    Overall, the servie is nice - just called him several times.

  • HP Photosmart 5520 will not print photos

    I've had this machine for a few months and just discovered that, unlike my previous HP printer, it will not print photos from my PC. Unlike my previous printer, it doesn't have a slot for a memory card. When I click on "Print" for a picture of the appropriate screen appears on the screen but nothing else happens. Can I do to remedy to this problem please? The printer prints documents with no problems. I use Windows 7 right now

  • Re: HP Photosmart 5510 - will not print using black ink

    I received a WARNING ink level so I went out and bought new cartridges. When I put the new in, black will not print.

    I followed all the instructions on my printer, all the instructions of the hp print & Scan Doctor and went out to buy a new black cartridge in the second.

    tracking of document Hp: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03425035

    Still no black printing.

    I cleaned the print heads.

    So I have three cartridges of "True HP", two of them nine and no black print.

    Are there any other instructions that can be followed to fix my printer? It is more under warranty and there is no way I'm paying for a repair on a printer who leave work when installing a new cartridge.

  • Printer HP Photosmart B109am - will not print a worksheet.

    I just installed this printer on my desk.  The problem I have is that it will not print a worksheet that I made previously, it allows to print word documents.  I have Windows XP on my computer.  When I try to print the worksheet, an error appears on my computer saying: "Microsoft Works, out of Memory."

    Can anyone suggest what could be the problem?

    Hello.    Since my last post, I was able to fix my problem.   Before when I tried to print landscape I just went into my layout, orientation and clicked on the landscape.   But with this new printer, I also change the margins so and it seems to work.   I don't know why this happens with a spreadsheet, as I've not had to do with a word document.

    Thanks again for your help.

  • Photosmart 7510 c311a: Photosmart 7510 c311a will not print documents AirPrint

    My photosmart 7510 c311a was bought new on 09/07/2012 and is supposed to print documents AirPrint, but screen printing shows my printer but does so "no printer found AirPrint". No one knows if it will print correctly?

    Hi @Bruciferl01,

    Welcome to the HP Support forum.

    I understand that you have a HP Photosmart 7510 e-all-in-one which you connect wireless to your PC in Windows 8, but when you try to use Airprint to print from an Apple device it says "no printer found AirPrint". I would like to help with that.

    The main condition for Airprint printing is that the Apple device and the printer are on the same network, and the Web Services and ePrint must be on.

    Here is a document of support that can help you with Airprint - Wireless Printing with Apple's AirPrint.

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