  • HP Photosmart D110 think about printing, but he never does

    I'm looking at an HP PhotoSmart D110. When I try to print a page alignment or the self-test page, it says: 'now print alignment page' and then it just sits there indefinitely (at least a night). He's not trying to load paper or he's trying to move the print head. Pressing the X key has no effect.

    I tried to do the self-test before (with the same results as above), but since I replaced the cartridges, it requires alignment now and will not cross. (It is said he highly recommends the alignment, but since it is not a choice, it is much more than a recommendation).

    Any suggestions on what to do so he can print?

    I had already done everything listed in HP consumer support: Alignment Page does not print. I went through the steps once again, though, just in case. When I got to step 3 (remove and reinsert the cartridges), I noticed that the black cartridge was light, so I replaced it (before asking here, I had already noticed the color cartridge is light and replaced to see if it would help). And it started working!

    As a test, I put the old black cartridge in, and he's just sitting there thinking amel. Back with a new, and printed the alignment page. So, it might be something to add as a just-in-case troubleshooting tip; Sometimes, the cartridges are bad message without obvious sign.

  • HP PSC 1110 - print but not Scan under Windows 8 - not supported by the wizard online HP

    Hi all

    I wonder if someone can help me. I recently bought a new laptop from toshiba with Windows 8. The printer I have is HP PSC 1110. I have the drive and installed successfully to a degree. It prints, but it is not the scanner. When I opened the Photo and imaging HP program to analyze, it opens but regular icons are simply small squares without links or even the text. So the scan button does not work on the printer and there is no option to analyze when the program is opened - just those strange little squares where the menus and options should be. Also, if I click on a photo to open it in the program, I get the error message "could not start - Ctxld # Hewlett - Packard Pei HPQTHB08 «with the name of photo file to open the here.jpg «»

    I tried to reinstall it and I also tried printer install HP PSC 1110 for Windows 8, but at the end of installation, I get the message "the selected printer is not currently supported by this wizard.

    Can anyone help or do I really have to get a new printer?

    I hope that I didn't destroy your head!

    Kind regards

    Sinnottam

    I checked and this printer doesn't have a driver of Windows 8 for him, which explains why you cannot scan using the software of the printer.  Here is a document on how to get a generic driver: 'install a driver of Windows 8' that may be useful.

    However, here is a fairly extensive link that provides, not only of workarounds, but the possible solutions for your problems with digitizing:

    "Scanning device has not been initialized or errors related to.

    Let me know if all of these works.  You have not destroyed me again!

    Hi Rainbow 7000,

    Thanks for your promt help-the enjoy. After I posted my question, I have searched and searched the site of HP and dug up any information that could help. By a miracle, I think that I have reinstall the wizard and Dr. Moreover, both computers would be printed on the printer, but wouldn't analyze.

    I ran the programs and bingo, I can now scan on the laptop with Windows 7! When it rains, it pours, I had to get a new adapter for the desktop on the floor when I run Windows 10. Quickly, I plugged and gave it a try. No luck. So I will finalize the adapter and then try the same game plan.

    Thanks again, we will see how it goes!
