Photosmart d7260 requires cleaning frequent printhead

I have a photosmart d7260 printer connected to a home network.  My computer is a hp 6730 s running XP service pack 2.  I have print regularly - maybe not everyday but several times a week at least.  A week there's an impossible document print - the printer seems to go through all the motions, but the book came out in white.  No error message.   After trying the task two or three times with the same results, I ran the touch screen of the printer print head cleaning function.  After the first run, the test page showed a few white streaks in the blocks of color, but after the second run everything was fine.  Since then, I have run the print head cleaning function before each print session to obtain good results.  I can print as many pages as I want during a few hours at the computer, but if I leave it for a few hours, I have to run cleaning print head again to get good copies even later the same day.  If I don't, black text can out Brown or some parts of the text or graphics don't print at all.  Needless to say, running clean print head which is often quickly depleting my ink supply.

Hello Arnaud,.

I understand that you have a problem with black, Brown or any future. I have included the following document, "solving Print quality problems. Please select your operating system and follow the steps in order.

Please let me know if your print quality is better, thank you.

  • Btrfs-cleaning frequently stuck at 100% CPU after put 6.4.0 to level

    Given that I have improved my RN102 to 6.4.0 last night I often struggle to reach the admin interface, and my laptop was reported not being able to join Time Machine.

    When I connect by ssh and use 'top', I see that btrfs-cleaner is stuck at 100% CPU. This can last up to 10 minutes at a time. I only installed about 12 hours ago, and the process of btrfs-cleaner has already more than 85 minutes of CPU time, which is 20 times more than the process of the second long, readynasd which is 4 minutes.

    After a while, btrfs-cleaner falls to 0% CPU and I can access the NAS normally.

    My question: is it normal to have this excessive load of btrfs-cleaner so frequently? Y at - it no configuration setting which affect this behavior. I never noticed this problem under the previous version 6.2.5.

    See you soon,.

    Joachim

    Where it's important, my NAS is equipped with 2 x 4 TB drives in a RAID0 configuration with 40% in use.

    It seems that I found a way to get rid of hanging btrfs-cleaning: after turning off the quota

    Btrfs quota disable/data

    Btrfs-cleaner never appear again (top).

    (After startup, I've usually had a minute to publish the command before btrfs-cleaner spawn and prevented the command answer.)

    I did not intentionally quota - I guess that it is enabled by default.

    Good luck

    HansW

    PS: Maybe the problem is known by Netgear - in their 'FAQ on recent firmware 6.4.0' (see the link at the top of the page) we are talking about «...» "This is probably due to the ReadyNAS was conducting an audit of quota.

    Some sites also describe problems with quota and btrfs (forum Rockstor), other sites quoting quota support in experimental btrfs (but these may be updated).

    I did some tests deepened after diabling quota like that--I'm happy that I have can see my files again...

    Solution - I found the image more red, I had (wrapped Christmas gifts) clouded the Red a lot, then printed on a dozen pictures for magenta flowing.  It seems to have worked.

  • Photosmart 5510 requires the color cartridge to print in black

    I have an Imac running MAC OS X 10.7.5 and a HP Photosmart 5510.

    I can't select a black and white printing other than "regular, fast rough, black and white paper.

    QUESTION: Why are there no "plain paper, best option, black and white"? Or should I ask, where is the ordinary paper, the best black and whitee option?

    Surely each printer must be able to print the last option.

    To satisfy my need for a good level of black and white print that I have to use the color cartridges - it is expensive.

    I would be grateful for any help.

    Thank you.

    To print graphics or the text of quality 'Best' the printer uses color ink.  In the case of text, the color ink is printed black to improve the darkness and roughness of the edge.  (Color ink makes printing 'together' more quickly, reducing the purge on the edges).

    For graphics, the printer uses drops color printing black or gray printing mode best because it gives much better graphics.  The color ink droplets are much smaller than the black.  When the color ink is used for printing in grayscale or B & W graphics, the results are much thinner that the result would be in black ink only.

    If the quality does not matter (much) draft mode provides the best economy, but for a better print quality, color ink is necessary.

  • Capacity color Photosmart D7260 No. in the documents, but the color works in photos. iMac 10.6

    All of a sudden my printer D7260 renounced the print color. I printed a picture to see what happen & it prints in color is fine. What could possibly cause the color of the document printing give up? I have an iMac running 10.6.

    I've been printing both photos & docs with this printer for years. Installed 10.6 year last & always everything has worked well. After I posted this question yesterday I downloaded a driver 10.6 for an Apple llink that someone gave to another person who had posted a similar problem (but not the same). I thought I had nothing to lose! I am pleased to announce that it has solved my problem. It is now printing docs and photos!

  • Photosmart D7260: D7260 does not illuminate

    I turned off the printer using the power button. Now, I can't turn it on.

    I cut the current unit and the mains, wait for the green light from the transformer came out, reconnected to the mains and to the printer. The switch light does not come. The Cancel button is lights up the button print photos to the printer doesn't exist.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Frank C

    Hey there @FrankGC!

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    I should be able to help on the printer turn on/off do not.  You mentioned that light to cancel it and the light of the picture are on if the printer is powered.  The first thing I suggest is to plug the printer into the wall directly if there is currently a power surge protector or extension cord. This may sound silly, but this will ensure the printer gets full power and can eliminate any unnecessary troubleshooting. If the printer is no longer becomes full power of power against power surges or extension cord it can give false errors, have bad connection, questions and quality of paper feed problems.  It is also a good idea to try a different wall jack if the printer is already directly to a wall outlet.

    Here is a document about the flashing light errors on the printer: blinking lights on HP Photosmart D7200 and D7400 Printer Series.

    I recommend to check this document to see if there is a paper jam in the printer: a 'Paper Jam jam. Claire then press OK. "Views for HP Photosmart D7200 Printer series D7400.

    It would also be a good idea to check for a jam in transport as well by clicking on this document here: A 'transport Jam' Message is displayed for HP Photosmart D7200 and series D7400.

    Try a clean boot. I don't know what version of Windows you are running, so just do a Google search for "Windows Clean Boot. Also delete your files from %temp% before redownloading and run the installation.

  • HP photosmart Pro 8550 printer CB981A Printhead failure

    Very, very disappointed to have a major failure of printhead on only the second set of cartridges down use printer so out of warranty not very impressed as a user of Hewlett Packard for more durable years of stuff very reliable & long usually off HP support time.

    New print head is happened & mounted seems to have cured the problem the old printhead recicler?

    Looking at the comments, I think that HP must focus its control of the quality, or sheet material component. Reputations take years to build and seconds to destroy. To quote the old adage 'don't spoil the ship for a halfpenny of tar value. "
