Photosmart Premium c309a black print green on photo paper / CDs

Got a Photosmart Premium c309a.  Bought in early 2009.  When I print on normal paper, photos prints fine, but when I print on paper photo, all black prints with a green tint.  This is regardless whether if I said that I'm printing on photo paper or not. When I print to CDs, black print blue.

I have correctly printed on two media before but recently had this problem.  Colors are progressively worsened recently before arriving at this point.

I use Windows 7.  Updated the drivers and software but still no joy.  Latest version of the downloaded driver / software for my Mac but the same for photos and the CD.

I did about 5 cleans through the Toolbox print head and replaced HP black ink cartridges (both black and Photo black).  Currently have more than half full for each black cartridge.  Other colors are not empty but either.   Also tried the print head with water for rinsing after its withdrawal.

I did a diagnostics page.  The black bar Photo is not printed at all.  However, further down on the page, the photo black ink level indicator prints OK (assuming that really aid black photo).

Everything prints fine so I can print documents and images as long as it isn't on paper photo or CD.  I bought the printer mainly for CD printing features.

Is - this weird color problem with the printhead fault?  Could replace solve this (someone tried?)?  A replacement would put me back £26 so I wanted to ask first.

Thank you.

I suggest you soak the printhead, as described in the post here.

  • Photosmart Premium C309a plain put no ink on paper

    New behavior to an old printer that has always worked well until recent days. Prints white sheets, sometimes includes a very few pale lines and small incidental text, but never the desired impression. Does not even print a copy of the scan bed or any kind of status report of its menu on board; will not print any job in any program sent our Macs through our Airport Extreme wireless. Have tried all suggestions of help from HP to restart the printer and all the devices that send to it. Replace all inks without result. Baffled. Ideas?

    This printer has separate print heads and ink cartridges. It seems that the heads need clean or replace. Press 'Setup' on the front and go in tools, there should be an option to "clean the print heads", try several times, if this does not resolve the problem, you must replace the printheads (cartridges)

  • Impossible to print a Web page using photosmart premium c309a using Internet Explorer 9.

    I just installed Internet Explorer 9. Now, I can't print a Web page using my network photosmart premium c309a. I also have a Photosmart c6250 networked and I peut print for her. What gives? Am I missing something? I know that this is a known problem by searching the problem and Windows solution does not help.  I have no problem with the c309a print when I go to the internet, it's just a problem of Web page with IE9.  All/any help would be appreciated.

    HP helped me by making me install a different driver. Download and install the printer driver 6980. After installation, go to the printer properties and add a new Standard TCP/IP port and use IP address for the c309a.  I don't think I'm missing something, but I received the information from their chat support.  Then, when you want to print from IE9, choose the 6980 printer (which is actually the c309a printer).  This HP support doesn't help.  You must talk to a living person who knows something about printers.

    I hope this helps.  In fact, I switched to Mozilla Firefox as my default long ago, and it works very well with the c309a printer.  I only got this solution because I could be chatting with them on another printer and I mentioned that I could not print from IE9.

  • Photosmart Premium c309a series - will print but scanning and fax are not in printers and Fax preferences

    Any expert out there?

    I already posted this problem.  I deleted Photosmart Premium C309a [OEFC74} of the preference of the "Print and Fax" system on my desktop Mac running OS 10.6.8.]  I deleted it to correct a mistake, "Printer offline", when the printer was offline but would not.

    I then added in Photosmart Premium C309a as instructed.  He has fixed the "printer offline" problem, but now the scanner icon disappeared from "Print & Fax" and I cannot scan documents.  I've always had to scan from my computer, not the printer itself, but I've lost this ability.

    Before deleting the printer in the printer list, I had two icons of the printer: Photosmart C309a series [OEFC74} and Photosmart C309a [192.168.1.5.]] (Fax) listed.  Now, I have one with a different designation, simply Photosmart C309a series.  I had to spend two laptops to this designation of printer in order to print using these laptops (all Macs).

    The all-in-one printer is connected wireless via a home network using a wireless router.

    HOW to bring back the ability to scan?  I spent hours on this forum without finding a solution.

    Thanks for any help.

    Radio of your printer may have indeed failed, and it is not uncommon with this model.

    Try to reset it to put off the printer, then hold him down # and 6 keys while and for a few seconds after I turn it back on.  If the radio is just when, this should fix it.  If she suffered a hardware failure (such as a circuit board) cracked, this will not fix it.

    With this model, you can also connect it to your router with an Ethernet cable and have the same functionality available for all devices, including those who have connections to your router wireless.

    I see you are having a problem printing to an Excel document.

    Hi, the ink cartridges supplied with the printer in the box will be run much faster than normal cartridges. and also, XL cartridges usually have 3 times more ink compared to a regular size cartridge.

  • HP Photosmart Premium C309a: Uninstall HP Photosmart Premium C309a

    Could not parse.  Lost all the icons on the desktop for HP.  Have been able to print but nothing else.  I went back to programs and features and uninstalled everyone individually, but no mater how many times I try, the main (all-in-one driver software HP Photosmart Premium C309a 12) won't go away.  I went to the printers and deleted this screen printer, but it still lists the printer under programs and features.  Part of the sequence of uninstaller gives you the option to remove "all HP products" or "choose individual products." "  When I go where it is supposed to be a list of the programs/products hp, it is listed.  How can I get rid of the HP printer in programs and features?

  • HP Photosmart Premium C309a: Photosmart C309a Driver download problem in Windows 10

    I used the wizard, HPPIW.exe, to select the latest software driver full features.  At the end of the download, 100%, he noted "the download has been cancelled.  This happens repeatedly.

    Any ideas how to get the download?  I can not even use "download only" option and the driver software is not displayed.

    UPDATE meanings:

    After several attempts to update the software of the printer, HP Photosmart Premium C309a the wizard, hppiw.exe and the doctor print and scan, HPPSdr.exe, I completely uninstalled all the software of HP printer and related programs.  Finally, I ended up using the original installation CD because my copy downloaded software version 14, PS_AIO_05_C309a_Net_Full_Win_WW_140_047.exe, gave "Exit" as an installation option.

    Similarly, Setup.exe on the CD gave the same result, so I used HPZsetup.exe instead of loading the printing software.  This installed applications HP OK and provided all the features of the printer.

    However, I now have the loaded 13 version.  I wonder what will happen when updating HP chooses to try to upgrade to version 14?

  • HP Photosmart Premium C309a - LCD not working not

    I have a HP Photosmart Premium C309a AIO that print, copy and Fax perfectly except that the LCD gradually deteriorated to the point where it now seems almost completely white with virtually nothing readable, which makes this much less usable device. Can I replace the LCD screen? A replacement LCD can be ordered and replaced by a user?

    Thanks for more information on this.

    Hello @dmwaters138,.

    I would like all my best to help you with questions you have about the LCD screen on your HP Photosmart Premium all-in-One Printer.

    Unfortunately the LCD screen on the printer is not a part, you can order and replace yourself, however I have some suggestions for you to try to see if you can restore the functionality on-screen.

    You have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or a surge protector or power bar?

  • HP photosmart premium c309a

    Hi all. My first post so I hope I'm in the Group of good advice.

    I am a user of mac OS x 10.5 operation (intel) and buying a new printer. Hp photosmart premium C309a calls greatly, but I have a big problem to find the following information.

    I put together a dvd for various charities and organizations who just like their own images etc. printed on them, until recently I was using (sorry) an epson r800, who is now deceased. My question is to do with the size of the print area of the dvd. At the moment I was printing up to 18 mm inner diameter and 118 mm outer diameter. Can someone tell me what size I can print on this new machine, that I look at you, also what cd/dvd printing software, I would be able to use.  Thank you very much.

    Hello

    The printer comes with a HP (HP PhotoSmart Studio) software that allows you to print on the CD.  It is pretty basic, but gets you what you need in most cases.  In addition, CD/DVD is added as a "paper format" in your print dialog box so you can use any program you want and print on the DVD.  If you already have a software for creating labels, it * should * work.

    HP software allows you to adjust the size of the circle inside and outside to match your DVD media.  I don't know what are the minimum and maximum settings.

  • Photosmart Premium C309a All in One not no projection in devices and printers in Windows 7 x 64

    I just installed my HP Photosmart Premium C309a under Windows 7 64 bit and noticed something perculiar. I can print from programs, but when I go to the "devices and printers" in the menu start, the printer is not there. If I try to add the printer via the "Add a printer" feature, he just wants to another printer for her. Not a show stopper, but weird. Hope this can be resolved if the printer is no longer available in Windows 7.

    It seems that you have installed the C309a in a network configuration. There is a document that describes how to access print through devices and printers below settings link. This article describes how you can access your device through the PC peripherals and Pinters icon settings.

  • HP Envy 5540: HP Envy 5540 will not be printed on A4 photo paper

    As said in the title, the HP envy 5540 which has brought us recently will not print on A4 photo paper. When you try this it will be just the paper jam. It can print on the matte side of the shiny paper but who despises the point to print on glossy paper. Glossy paper in which you provided (10 x 15 cm) works very well so I don't see what the problem is.

    So I thought I'd post a response cela in case someone else wins the same problem. To resolve this problem when you put paper in the tray make sure that it is placed as left as possible. The reason for this is because the paper gets stuck to the right of the printer inside, this is of course because this model isn't try and calibrate the book itself just cause, it assumes that the Board is good enough.
    If this still does not work then I recommend that once in the basic printing options, select photo paper (HP or not depending on what you have). More there are also in Control Panel > display devices and printers and right click on the printer model you are using, and then select Printing Options. Then, check the orientation of the layout and for verification of the quality of the paper / source paper and media for what you feel would be good for you.

    Hope this helps someone else who has this problem because when I looked around I saw never the solution.

  • HP Photosmart Premium C410b: printing using panoramic photo paper

    Hello

    Is anyone able to tell me how to print using A4 panoramic photo size.

    Thank you

    Hi @Silverback2,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you are curious how to print on A4 panoramic photo on your HP Photosmart Premium C410b printer paper. I'd be happy to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem.

    Your printer is not designed to print on that size of paper. If you want to print on the paper, I think that a DesignJet is better suited for these types of photos.
