phtosmart C5240 all-in-one will not use the cd/dvd tray to print

OK, so I use essential 3.5 photo to print directly on printable CD. Whenever I try to print, the printer tells me to close the CD/DVD tray, but when I do that, it starts printing the status bar with plain paper. Any suggestions?

Also connected to the pc via usb and runing win7

Nevermind found the problem, I myself do not select the type of media correct sorry.

  • Dell XPS 2710 all-in-One will not start, the totally blank screen

    Hello. This is my first post on the forums and I hope someone can help me.

    The Dell XPS 2710 all-in-one I bought for my 10 year old 15 months ago (Yes, that means that the guarantee is expired) will not start. No no post, no beeps, nothing. Just a brief spark of light on the screen, no words, nothing. The machine gets occasional use, and there is nothing to indicate what could have caused the problem. I have not upgraded the BIOS recently, is not as if it was a bad BIOS update, or whatever it is. I tried to hit the F1, F2, F12 keys delete during startup. No results.

    The video works. I know because I can connect my laptop to the HDMI-in port and I can see the desktop of my laptop very well. So the question is NOT the video. My son uses this machine for occasional movies and homework in his room. I want to fix the computer, if I can. I am handy with computers and built several machines from the outset in the past.

    I believe that the most likely scenario is that the motherboard has went wrong; There are several posts around the internet about motherboards 2710 AIO being unreliable. I saw an ad on the forums of Dell from a guy who said Dell Tech Support replaced its motherboard 2710 five times. I see that some of these motherboards are selling on eBay for around $200. I'm toying with the idea of getting a. I watched the service manual for the 2710 and I'm pretty confident that I could replace the Board of Directors.

    Someone had experience with permutation on their motherboard on a 2710 AIO? Or someone has any ideas on what could be the problem with my son's computer? I appreciate all the advice/help anyone could offer.

    OK, I have removed all the RAM from the motherboard (there were two sticks) and unplug the connector on the SATA hard drive. Then I turned on the machine and got two beeps very strong, but still no video on the screen indicating any form of activity of the POST. The sound signals have been first sounds I've ever heard during the procedure of boot on this machine. I put the RAM back in and re-connected the SATA cable. The way he has been, no video, no post, no beeps. I'm a bit at a loss for what I've decided, this means that the motherboard works technically and that another device on the machine is at the origin of the problem? Have I reason to assume that if I hear two beeps, then I should have the certainty that the motherboard was bad? Given that this a sound signal, the solution becomes cloudy, I guess. I can't help but feel that somehow the BIOS on the computer is damaged. Don't quite know how that could happen, however, because I have not updated the BIOS in over a year. I don't remember what BIOS version I have, but he had been working well for a year with no problems. Thanks for any other help/suggestions you can provide.

  • My Officejet 6500 E709 all in one will not print black.

    My HP Officejet 6500 E709n all-in-one will not print black.   All other colors work very well.  Have you tried what follows - new black cartridge installed, ran the print heads clean utility, made sure the wind was compatible black ink cartridge, turned printer off and restarted.  Print tests still not print black - other colors and images to print, but not text black or shades of black in images.  Any suggestions on how to fix or what needs to be repaired?  Thank you.

    Hi jim: I just had the same problem a few minutes ago. After having gone through all the troubleshooting steps, I realized it was all just a bad cartridge. The PIN on the printer heads were not reading the new cartridge, so nothing in black print could be printed. I installed a new black cartridge and I could resume my printing projects. I then contacted the HP store directly to report the faulty cartridge while they could send me a new, that I won't be out of pocket for a cartridge I bought directly from them.

    Hope this helps you with your problem.

  • T520 will not use any device DVD

    People,

    I was going to do a backup, when I noticed that the DVD player was no longer under my computer.

    I when in Device Manager, where he showed with a yellow X... I tried to update the device driver, it said that I had the right device. I've done many other things - nothing has worked.

    I really wanted to get the backup made, so I took my portable DVD player/burner and plugged. The laptop computer found a loaded device OK... but it does not appear in my computer. I had the same problem as the DVD drive internal.

    Then I got a USB drive external Passport, connected to the same USB port, no problems... He mounted the disk and I made the backup.

    My T520 will not use any device DVD... ideas?

    -Fred

    I did a quick search and voila. See the Windows 7 box.

    Have tried all the "patches" you list and much more. The printer prints fine on my old PC Windows XP and worked fine on my

    new PC using Windows 7 until recently.

    Please don't tell me to... Reinstall, download the new driver, install the new cartridge, clean align the print heads, different paper or go to 'solutions '... Etc... Etc.  I HAVE ALREADY BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT!

    Everything you "patches" end with 'the unit of service... " WHAT IN THE WORLD WHAT THAT MEANS!

    This has been a nice printer for more than 5 years, but is somewhat glitch spoil me when using the BLACK INK?

    Gordon,

    Thanks for the reply, expecting not one, but what you say is all that we need to buy another printer if we did all the "fixes", etc... etc. you know that take a printer to a repair shop will cost more

    then buy a new one.

    It was stupid of saying me to check on the warraty of HP page when I already told you that the unit is 5 years old.

    But don't thank you for the reply... even if it was a joke!

    Hello althor1170

    It seems to be a problem with the computer and the printer communicate with each other. Have you tried another USB cable or port? Have you tried setting the printer wireless or network? If he works on the network, then the problem is with the USB cable or port. You are using a USB hub?

  • HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-one: HP Photosmart C5280 All in one will not wotk on new install

    I bought an HP Photosmart C5280 All in One several previously used and used with a dell dimension running windows xp woitout problems.  .  I rcently purchased a dell Windows 7 Professional or with a processor 15.  I reinstalled everything and get test of allignment of cartridges, and it keeps failing.  I did the partial reset and semi.  It wil not scan or copy.  Help, please.

    Hello @mgsindy,

    Thanks for getting back to me on this subject. I am pleased to hear that the issue of alignment has been resolved. However, because you get the message when copying or scanning that has occurred a "failure" and you screen gets stuck on 'Cancel' for the copy, you experience a hardware failure with your copy/scan inside your printer mechanism.

    Because the programming of your printer control the scanning/copying mechanism, I checked in an update of Firmware for your product to see if there was an update available in the corrupt case programming was causing your issue. Unfortunately, due to the age of your product, it is not these updates.

    You also mentioned that you did a semi Full reset programming on your printer, nothing helps.

    At this point, I will provide you the failure of scan standard troubleshooting steps to see if there is a chance to solve this problem.

    Step 1: Power Reset:

    1. With the printer, unplug the cable from power for 30 seconds
    2. After that 30 seconds reconnect the power cable from back in
    3. The printer should return its own
    4. Once the printer returns to the ready state, again test the copy feature.

    Step 2: Verification of power:

    Power strips and surge protectors can cause HP printers do not work properly because they can run out of power. To ensure that a power problem is not causing your Scanner failure, please plug the unit directly into the wall outlet.

    Once your printer is directly to a wall jack please test again the copy function. If the problem persists, please continue to the next step.

    Step 3: Check the Scanner Bar and light:

    1. Feed your printer
    2. Lift the lid flat on your printer and click the copy button
    3. Check if the scanner bar is moving or if the scanner lamp turns on.

    Source: A "Failure of scan" Message appears on the all-in-one control panel and you can not scan, copy, or fax

    If there is no response from the mechanism of scanning, the last step would be the printer to service.

    At this point, if the problem persists I suggest you contact the Technical Support queue by phone to explore additional options.

    HP Technical Support can be reached at the: 800-474-6836.

  • Computer will not use the drive when you restart.

    I have a Pavilion dv 9000 and had problems more and more lately (win explorer fails, application launcher fail, blue screens, crashes etc.).

    I decided to use the recovery disk that was created at first boot. According to all the manuals that I found (on - and offline), it is just to put the recovery disk in the DVD-ROM and restart.

    The problem is that nothing happens. The computer does not use the disk when it reboots.

    Anyone experienced the same problem with the recovery disk?

    I'm not having any other problems with the ROM, works perfektly once Windows is running.

    Thank you

    You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • PhotoSmart e-all-in-one B210a: I choose the HP ePrint (tray) paper source?

    I want to find a way to print photos on my iPhone using HP ePrint mobile app. The all-in - one HP B210 - has a dedicated photo tray, but when I send a print job, the printer uses the default main tray and plain paper.

    Is it possible to tell the printer to print PHOTOS (and only) from the photo tray: 4 X 6 photo paper. Or should I first replace the default values for the printer to a laptop or desktop before I try to print?

    Hello

    The default settings on the devices apple AirPrint is printing photos from the photo tray. Hp Eprint app offeres a lot more in terms of print optins and will you choose the dimensions of the various media and allow you to specify a particular bin also.

    Hi @Beeky27,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I noticed that your HP Officejet 6210 won't print from your Windows Vista computer. I am pleased to see that for you!

    First of all, I would make sure that the full feature software and drivers are installed, by downloading it from this link: HP full feature software and drivers. Then I would run the HP print and Scan Doctor, to ensure that everything works.

    Let's start with these steps and go from there!

    I hope this helps!
