Photosmart HP 6510 while printing problem a B211a printer

I have HP photosmart 6510 while 1printer-B211a.

It goes through all the movements of printing or copying, but the page is empty. That's what I tried to do to fix this problem: I installed the new black cartridge on printer according to the instructions, I removed and reinstalled x 2 and the page is still empty.

Thanks for your help

  • Photosmart HP 6510: Personalized printing HP Photosmart 6510 problem

    I have read through a couple of threads and followed the instructions to turn on 'custom' on my HP Photosmart 6510 all-in-one printing. I loaded the driver of HP Deskjet 450, which finally allows me to select a custom size of 5.5 "x 8.25". I'm trying to print on wedding invitations response cards. Wedding invitations made the same paper 5 X and can be printed without adding a new printer driver for the 6510.

    Now that I can get the printer driver (deskjet 450) to recognize the custom format 5.5 "x 8.25" but I can't print. I use a model of design by Staples and get the following errors.

    Errors - the margins of Section 1 are set beyond the printable area of the page. Do you want to continue? I pushed Yes and the printer tries to print the job abd I get the error "paper mismatch". The printer actually determined the size of the paper when I adjusted the paper tray to accommodate custom size paper.

    Troubleshooting - I tried to adjust the margins, but I have little ability to adjust in the template provided. When I adjusted the margins, I always get the error "paper mismatch".

    Any ideas on how to do more troubleshooting?

  • Photosmart HP 6510: Black print failed

    I have a HP Photosmart 6510, which will not print black - pages of text, sound as if they are printing, but the page comes out blank. Watch as the color test page, but not black.  There is no error message.  Black print cartridge is full and I have applied all recommended maintenance procedures.  I'm going to disassemble the printer (which is out of warranty) and the print head to check the visible obstructions before deciding to give up completely and use my backup of Canon.  Can anyone suggest any other remedies or advice on removal of the print head?  Thank you.

    Thanks for your suggestions.  I removed and cleaned the print head, but the problem remains unresolved.  I did more research and decided to go deeper into the printer to access tubes empty below the print head.  I couldn't find all the instructions more complex procedure on the HP site or elsewhere online, so most of the work was intuitive.  I managed to remove the 'well' below the print head complete with 4 vacuum tubes, and it was immediately obvious to me that the black ink tube was clogged.  I went to clean the whole by immersing in hot water and using a syringe to flush out the tubes.  I cleaned too much ink frozen since sponges of drain that receives the excess ink from the vacuum system (no doubt mostly print head last cleaning operations).  After drying of the parts and reassembling the printer, everything is back to the fully functional State.

    I was amazed at the amount of vitriol expressed by users of the forum to HP for what seems to have been a recurring problem with these printers.  It seems incredibly useless to throw a sound mechanical printer because of a dried ink problem, but that's what many did the cost of 2-3 hours time technician to fix the problem simply cannot be justified. It is unfortunate that HP provides no instructions for technical people like me who are willing to undertake their own maintenance out of warranty HP products.

  • Photosmart HP 6510 cannot print in Parallels for Mac using Windows 7

    Currently, I use the model above the printer with my Macbook (OS x Mountain Lion) and have no problem printing with the Mac.

    The problem is when I'm in (Parallels Desktop 8) mode of the virtual machine and I am trying to print from Windows 7.

    Although it seems to be recognizing the printer it tells me the printer is "offline: 1 document waiting."

    Parallels support pages say that printers should operate automatically.

    Can anyone help?

    Looks a bit like a mixed configuration here, where you are using a Macintosh with Windows loaded on the system. My first question is on the profile that you are working with you have loaded the appropriate drivers on the site for the Windows machine? Here's a link to it:

  • Can print but cannot scan Photosmart HP 6510

    After being able to print and scan at my Photosmart HP 6510 my VIAO laptop Ultrabook, for some reason, I lost the ability to analyze.  Whenever I try, I get the error message "the scanner is currently in use. Wait until your previous task is completed, and then try again. "The problem is the scanner is not in use and I do not see how to delete it.  This same printer/scanner device other users can connect their computers and scan from it.

    What program you use to create the scans and what file format you saved scans - PdF, JPG, TIF?

  • How can I print on legal paper with a Photosmart HP 6510?

    I have the opportunity to print on legal size paper.  The status bar for my Photosmart HP 6510 does not develop to take into account the length of the paper (at least not that I can find).

    I found I can load a page in the tray, close the tray and it will print.  But it might mean loading of a page of a long document at a time.

    Is it possible to extend the trial of paper?

    I could not find a bin for paper for legal communication on the accessories page: have I missed?

    Is there another solution for loading several pages at a time?

    Alternatively, I'm stuck with a single page at a time?

    Thank you.

    There is an element if you swipe up will drop the lip on the inside of the lips of the paper, on the left side tray, front of the tray and you can load the legal document.  Hope that helps.

  • New cartridge for Photosmart HP 6510 appears defective

    I just replaced the old magenta cartridge in my Photosmart HP 6510 with a brand new printer, pack of 4, and it is now telling me that or toner appears to be missing or damaged. The new cartridge looks in good condition and is broken down and repeat the relocation or power off the printer do not help.  I tried cleaning the contacts, but everything seems very clean.

    I managed to get the printer working again with the old magenta cartridge up to who has certainly missed, but now the same error is detected, leaving me with a printer that does not even to print only black.

    I bought the original cartridge in a pack of 4 from Amazon, so have little chance to return the fauly cartridge (even though they agreed it was defective).  Looks like I'll have to do a magenta and hope that works, but in the meantime, has anyone any ideas how I can persuade the printer to work using only in black?

    Hello

    There could be two possibilities for that matter, ink cartridge you bought or print head.

    Try installing the old cartridge and check if the error.

  • HP PSC 2410 Photosmart all-in-one printer SLOW printing

    All of a sudden my HP PSC 2410 Photosmart all-in-one printer has started printing very, very, very slowly. If at all. It took almost 30 minutes (1/2 hour) to print only 1 page word document. I am on Windows 7 OS.

    Dialogue problems says everything is fine. An attempt to print a test page was even worse. He printed only the top 1/4 of the race and that it was illegible.

    I ran CrapCleaner, Norton full scan and I was able to print for about a day before the problem returns.

    Help!

    Hey Rainbow7000,

    I also had problems with copy. I noticed that the missing parts were color text or photos. There was no indication that the Tricolor cartridge was low or empty, but I replaced it in any case and VOILA... print is returned to normal and fine everyting.

    I would have thought there would be some am indicator when the cartridge is low, but it was not.

    Thanks anyway.

    The green light next to the power button flashes.

    Furthermore, above the list of job title will be:

Due to the age of your printer HP hasn't released a downloadable Pack of full functionality of software and the driver for your printer from Mac OS X 10.7. In fact, full features drivers have not been published for this model of printer from Mac OS X 10.5. Therefore, you rely solely on a driver package V3.1 update Apple to use your printer on your Mac operating system. Below, I will provide you with some Mac standard troubleshooting to solve the printing problem. Can you please follow all the steps below.

    • Step 1: Resetting the printing system:

    To begin, I will have you reset the printing system on your Mac. Please click herefor instructions on how to perform the reset. When the site opens, follow the steps under "Reset printing in OS X Lion system." This Reset deletes each printer on your Mac. However, it does not uninstall printers. Therefore, if use you other printers on the Mac, once the reset is complete simply make sure printers are attached via a USB cable or connected network and (+) add hide them in. don't add not your HP Photosmart PSC in back at the moment.

    Once the reset is complete, proceed to the next step.

    1. On the desktop, double-click the Macintosh HD icon if the Macintosh HD icon is not on the desktop, click the Finder icon in the Dock. Click the Macintosh HD under devices.
    2. Double click on the library folder.
    3. Double click on the Printers folder.

    7. Double click on the PPDs folder.
    8. Double click on file content .
    9. Double click on file resources .
    10. Make a right click (or Ctrl + click) the name of your printer in the product list and select move to the trash.
    11. When you are prompted, type the administrator name and password for the computer, and then click OK. By clicking OK, all items in your garbage will be permanently deleted from your computer. To remove an item in the Recycle Bin, click on this item to highlight, and then click OK.
