Printer Deskjet 5550

My Deskjet 5550 printer started printing very slow for some reason any.  It takes 5 minutes to print a fourth of a page.  It has worked very well.  I found a Web site and did all the troubleshooting that was proposed, even bought a new cable.  Someone has an idea of what could be the problem?

The printer does a bunch of print heads, then pause for 15 seconds?  If so, I would say remove the cartrdige of color and try a print job.  If the result is always a slow printing can replace the color cartridge and remove the black cartridge and then print a page.  The cartridge installed when the page prints slowly is the likely culprit. (Note that printing with only the installed color cartridge will be a little slower than normal printing with black cartridge installed.  For the purposes of this test you are looking for gross differences in print speed.)

    Parallel USB cables can be problematic, and in this case is not necessary.  The Deskjet 5550 has a USB port (in addition to the parallel port).  Install the printer such as described in this page.

  • HP Deskjet 5550 printer that Jam

    Hello

    I'm new to this forum, please bear with me if I'm posting in the right place.

    I have a printer HP Deskjet 5550 (Yes, quite old, but very reliable), and he has developed a printer jam that I can't solve.  I tried to delete the document, canceling, the printer power off, practically everything to get rid of printing, but it seems to be stuck on 'delete '.  I now can't print anything else as all other jobs piling up just behind the print job blocked / deleted.  Can anyone suggest how to totally eliminate this jam?

    Thanks a lot for reading.

  • DeskJet 5550 cannot print the page to clean cartridges.

    DeskJet 5550, Win 7 64 bit, after clicking on the clean print cartridges, it does nothing. Power light is solid on. The menu box arrives with Click clean to clean the cartridges now. Clicking on clean makes this area of empty menu and nothing happens. No error or no program has stopped responding. Can the text and images fine print except that I need to run the utility for a few minor flaws. Past to the best setting which helped a lot. Does not print the calibration page either. Prints all the tests and the test page.

    I believe you can force a cycle of cleaning as follows: power on press and hold the power button, press on and release the button X twice quickly, then release the power button.  No page will print, but you should hear the printer to clean.  A more aggressive cleaning can be done by pressing the X button twice and once the page break button, a still more energetic cleaning by pressing the X button twice, then press the page twice break before releasing the power button.

    You can print a diagnostic page holding the power and then button by pressing the X button eight times followed by the button to jump to page four times, then release the power button.

  • HP Deskjet 5550 with Windows XP Mode

    Hello

    It drives me crazy. I have an old HP Deskjet 5550 printer which I used to use on my Windows XP Dell laptop. I just bought a Dell Inspiron 17 with Windows 7 Professional. I installed Windows XP Mode as well.

    I try to install my old HP Deskjet 5550 in my new computer laptop. Just after I installed the software, it worked on Windows 7 and XP Mode. Once I reboot, it no longer works. I worked on this problem for several days now and this morning I tried again and all of a sudden, the printer worked on the side Windows 7 without any problem. But when I tried to use it on Windows XP Mode, it did not work.

    I called Dell Support and they have taken control of my laptop and worked on the problem, but could not understand how to operate on Windows XP Mode either. They asked me to call HP and I did, they could not solve the problem either.

    I've looked everywhere and almost all users have the problem using an old printer HP Windows 7 and not Windows XP Mode. But for me, it's the opposite. It is very strange for me.

    Anyone know how to fix this? I have the CD that came with the HP printer and have tried to install and uninstall the software, the problem persists.

    Suggestions or comments are much appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Ok. I don't know what is happening. I changed the port numbers as I posted and I changed to a port called TS001 PRN8 and I tried to print something and it WORKED!

    But I tried this port before and it didn't work. I restarted my XP Mode and test the printer again, and it still works. I am therefore very well so far.

    If the problem comes back, I'll post it again here.

    Thank you.

  • DeskJet 5550 cartridge status light flashing problem

    I have a Deskjet 5550. The power led is on and the print cartridge status light is FLASHING. Immediately before that, the prints have a lot of black and color.

    I opened and closed the plate on the cartridges.

    I took on each of the two cartridges and put back them in.

    I have looked for "the yellow arrow and icons", but can not find them.

    I turned the printer on and outside.

    I turned off the computer (Compac Presario CG60 - 206US Notebook PC) and rebooted.

    Help! Please, I beg you! Thank you!!!

    Hi mmdb1,

    I understand that the cartridges are not cheap, but to help isolate the problem, try another set of cartridges. If you install a new set and the problem is resolved, you can then contact our technical support line for the replaced defective cartridges.
