"Print cartridge failed" message on HP C5550 after installation of Mac Snow Leopard

I've just updated to Snow Leopard v. 10.6.7 and downloaded/installed a new driver.  Several times, I get a "Failed print cartridge" message whenever I try to print a page.  I just use a black ink cartridge and let the empty color cartridge slot, which was never a problem before.  I tried to reinstall the driver, restarting the computer, unplug/disconnect the printer, etc but still the same message every time I try to print.

Good luck.  Does anyone else have any other thoughts? -Randy

    I've just updated for Mac OS X 10.5.8 to 10.6.7 and cannot print.  I get "Printer cartridge failure" messages whenever I try to print.  I only use the black ink cartridge and let the empty color cartridge slot, which never seemed a question before.

    If you are using snow leopard and have the HP software before Snow Leopard (either from a CD not marked as compatible with 10.6 or you recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and had the software HP on your Mac before you upgrade - even if you made a standard from the old software uninstaller or installed new software on top of it) , you must uninstall the software using the "scrubber":

    Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP

  • The editor does not open after 11 items is transferred from Mac Snow Leopard OS 10.10.2 Yosemite

    I've been running Photoshop elements on a Mac with OS 10.6.8 11 (Snow Leopard). I just got a new Mac with the latest OS X (OS 10.10.2,"limited Yosemite). I transferred all my files on the new computer using the Migration Wizard.

    PES 11 seems to install properly and the organizer opens OK, except that I get a message saying "some online services are not available" and her asking if I want to continue without them. However when I try to open the editor it opens, instead I get two error messages, first "among application components are missing from the Application directory, please reinstall the application", then "a required application library failed to open and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application '.

    My questions are - should I just do a reinstall from the original disk? If so, should I do a complete uninstall of 11 items first? If I do a reinstall, will I lose all the changes, the version sets or something else?

    I had said that I should be able to simply transfer via the PES 11, with the original product key only. Will there be incompatibilities between 11 PES and the latest version of Yosemite?

    Thanks for any guidance,

    Nick

    You can never, never, never transfer any installed version of the EP on any platform. You should always install from scratch on a new machine. Trying to to, you have made more work for yourself. You must download and run this:

    Use the CC cleaning tool to resolve installation problems. CC, CS3 - CS6

    that won't seem to do anything, but is a necessary step to break the links within the program. Then you can go to and manually remove everything related to the PSE that you can find, not only Applications, but also your username > library > Preferences and the library at the top level of your hard drive > application support > adobe. You go to these places manually; Spotlight will not help you with this type of research.

    Then, you can reinstall your original media or from the download here:

  • HP officejet 7580 print cartridge error message

    I have a HP officejet printer 7580 all-in-one with the error message "the following ink cartridges appear to be missing or damaged. Magenta (M) "I followed the instructions on the HP site troubleshooting, first changing the magenta cartridge, clean the electrical contacts on the print head, then replace the printhead and I still get the same error message.» I then removed the cartridge yellow and still only had the same error message about the magenta cartridge, even after restarting the printer. In my view, that it must be a problem with the software or the chip of the computer on the printer itself. Someone at - it suggestions for me?

    Looks like you did a lot of troubleshooting for the cartridge error number.  The areas of print head and cartridge are separated in the OJ series L7580 printer, so the effect print head not this error.  The error comes from the electrical contact with the cartridge in question, appears magenta of the post.

  • HP Deskjet D1320 align the print cartridges fail

    Hello

    So I recently broke my printer to work on a couple projects.  The old cartridges is dead, so I bought brand new and installed today.  When installing the latest software of HP printer, the alignment will fail.  Step by step:

    (1) Center of Solutions HP Open

    (2) open Toolbox

    (3) device Services tab

    (4) align the ink cartridges

    (5) align the

    However, after click on align, * nothing *.  It's as if the part of the alignment of the software was not installed.  I * can print * very well, but alignment doesn't matter.   I can also print a page of test very well.

    I also did the standard troubleshooting: remove and reinstall the cartridges, restart the printer, unplug the printer, reinstall the software.  * Nothing works.* again, it is as if the part of the alignment of the software was not installed.

    So what can I do to solve the problem of alignment?

    Thank you

    Drogan

    PS OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit SP1.  Connection: USB

    You are right.  It's a good general practice to align the printer when new cartridges are installed, but it is not mandatory.  Alignment is made for purposes of printing quality.  On this printer, the print head is part of the ink cartridge.  When a new cartridge is seated, it may or may not be in alignment.  It looks like your cartridges are in alignment.

    You could try to shut down your computer (not a reset) and do a Hard Reset of the printer as described in the following link.  Click here  After you restart the computer, is there a difference?

    If not, and the print quality is good, I recommend you skip the alignment.  If you want to be able to make an adjustment, you could try to do a complete uninstall of the printer software and download and install the drivers from hp.com.  Click here

  • How to solve the Message "Incompatible print cartridge".

    Hello everyone

    Have you ever received the message "Incompatible print cartridge"? This may be caused by defective cartridges, dirty cartridge contacts, or by using the wrong cartridges for your printer or the region. If you get this message after moving to another country and using a different HP ink you will need to call HP support and ask them to explain how to change the region of your printer.

    If, however, you have not moved and you get this message with a new cartridge or current a little troubleshooting can be made. There is an article and the youtube video to help you to solve this problem, they are two excellent tools for troubleshooting. If the steps do not resolve your problem that make sure you try a different cartridge because it helps to isolate the problem to the printer or cartridge.

  • pc2510 check right printer cartridge/no taken into charge/hourglass errors

    Hello!

    If anyone has had success resolving these errors, please let me know, even if it is intended to replace your ink cartridge. Thank you!

    Error description:

    Original problem: printer cartridge "Check right printer cartridge" error message blocks any use of the psc 2510, including analysis and noncopying functions not printable.

    Current issue: hourglass gel accompanied by sounds (alignment?) printer that stops, but message screen ahead never past hourglass...

    Summary of troubleshooting:

    I got an error saying: check the cartridge in the right store. Tried cleaning the contacts on the cartridge and printer with distilled water. When using tactics in the online tutorial, I tried unplugging the power while the printer is open. Since then, just going through hourglass and his printer, it does not advance beyond this icon screen.

    Technical customer support:

    Suggested a semi reset of # and 6 keys more disconnect and reconnect or try the new print cartridge. When asked is there something I could try before buy a new cartridge, suggested I unplug and hold button power for 10 seconds, then reconnect. (Full description of these stockings). For further research, the representative suggested an upgrade.

    Hourglass fix employed attempts of the forums:

    Tried to plug into the wall Strip vs. (Fully plugged loose connection to the brick when notice was not in all the way.) Reset the modem. No results.

    What I have tried:

    Haven't tried a new cartridge in the printer until you have exhausted all non-monetary fixes.

    Full description of troubleshooting:

    The first error: check the cartridge in the right store occurred all of a sudden after use without problem.

    The contacts on the black cartridge have been cleaned, but the error persists.

    After cutting the use for awhile, I reconnected him last night to resolve the error on the current Mac computer printer cartridge. Installation was completed successfully.

    The same error once the installation program completed.

    I performed the following:
    (1) cleaned the contacts on cartridge black print using distilled water.
    (2) disconnected the power cord (by post in the forum)
    (3) disconnected power cord and tried pressing Cancel/left arrow (by the same post in the forum)
    (4) contacts cleaned behind black printer cartridge
    (5) print cartridge black removed, closed insert machine and got error black cartridge (attempt to determine what cartridge was the problem)
    (6) even if this message appears to indicate that the black cartridge was the problem (by the article of the web support) I cleaned the contacts on and behind the cartridge color as well.

    As part of troubleshooting, I had a second error: "Print cartridge in the right store not supported."

    I noticed that the adjustment is more flexible than in the color cartridge. I inspected the box spring and cartridge for damage and found nothing. Clean the dirt, however below the contacts on the machine.

    Also, at some point during troubleshooting, I could access the menu scan but then he quickly returned to the first error message.

    (7) for each article in general support online, I tried to unplug the power, while the cover is open (as shown during the cleaning of the cartridges). This information was not in the manual that came with my camera. I was hoping that this could restore the things.

    Then I got the third mistake: a period of sounds of the printer (alignment?) followed by hourglass on the screen.

    The 2510 seems to be frozen. No buttons like cancel or menu or the button caused no response.

    I unplugged it again (this time with the lid closed) and got the same series. A period of sounds like alignment, then a stop of sounds with the hourglass stays on the screen.

    Customer Service Rep sent the following:

    E-mail 1:

    1. If the printer is on, without turning it off, unplug the power cable of this one.

    2 hold down the # and 6 set, while you hold them, plug the power cord into the printer

    3 hold the keys for about 30 seconds, then the printer tries to turn on, then release the buttons.

    4. If the printer turns off, use on the power button on the printer and follow the instructions on the screen.

    If she always comes with the same error, I ask you to try with a new black cartridge back to us with the results.

    E-mail 2:

    1. when the printer is turned on, without turning off the printer, unplug the cable it

    2. press and hold the button for 10 seconds and release it.

    3. after 1 minute, plug back power cord and try to turn on/off the unit.

    The reason why I suggested to try with a new cartridge is every time that powers printer on, he made a self-test to make sure that all hardware components that work very well, including cartridges. So if there is an error with the cartridge, the printer might freeze if it is unable to determine the cause of the problem or of the point of failure.

    E-mail 3:

    I did some research and the issue seems more likely with the hardware of the printer. [...]

    If the problem persists, get back to us with the information below for the upgrade for your printer options.

    Forums:

    Then I tried unplugging power strip to wall socket and the modem reset without result. Blue light for wireless connection is no longer on.

She can't get to work, so I'll have to make another 90 mile round trip to Costco to replace this printer.  Any suggestions?

    You will need to install cartridges for initial configuration, Costco shouldn't have removed the cartridges setup.  You can contact HP, they could send replacement cartridges setup or they may suggest that you only contact Costco.
