• OfficeJet Pro 6830: Alignment of printhead error.

  Hello. I have the above printer. I get the message print head alignment error. I have unplugged and restarted, he could usually get another page or two either printed or copied, and now I can't get anything to print. It gives me just the error message from the print head alignment. I've been very busy and it worked when I did this as mentioned above. Since it stop working completely, I checked in to see that the warranty has expired on 01/06/16. It must be a problem on this particular printer, as evidenced by what I read online. I wonder what I can do? HP Will stand behind this printer, since it has this problem, even if it's beyond the warranty period of 23 days?

• OfficeJet Pro 6830: Problem with printhead

  My operating system is Mac OS X 10.5 Yosemite but who did not have the menu drop down.  In any case, I too more ink for my Officejet Pro 6830.  I ran through the troubleshooting suggestions, nothing worked.  I've unplugged and took ink and back in.  My printer was purchased on 06/05/15.  I do not see the feature that allow the print head be replaced, who would say that my printer it just says: Oxc19a0020 and problem with printhead.  It appears so, there is nothing that can be done other than to buy a new printer?

  Solved!  HP sent me a replacement.

• OfficeJet Pro 6830: there is a problem with the printhead - estimate of repair costs?

  Getting the message "There is a problem with the printhead".  Found the document tracking and troubleshooting got to step 3 where it says "the printer to Service."

  Naturally, when I checked, I found that our guarantee missed three weeks ago.  The printer lasted more than a year...

  No idea what it would cost for this repair?

  Or given the pricing model for ink jet printers, are we better off he throw?

  We had an Epson printer that has lasted several years; Maybe we should go back to them?

• OfficeJet Pro 6830: Officejet 6830 noise

  Since the automatic last update (a few days ago), my printer started making a rhythmic whining sound (similar to an old dial-up modem) when it is in standby mode. The noise comes close the power supply to the back of the printer. Whenever the noise happens, it is accompanied by a twinkle of a yellow LED near the input power agreement.

  I removed the power cable from the surge protector and plugged directly into the wall, but the problem persists. If I turn off the wireless feature, the noise changes pitch, but continues. The noise stops when the printer is turned on and working. I checked for new updates, but the printer tells me that all the current updates are in place.

  I wish I had this going away, as being close to the printer (in my living room) is driving me crazy unless I unplug it.

  Hi people, can you please try the latest firmware (published June 1) and let us know if that fixes the problem?

• OfficeJet Pro 6830: Recovery saved faxes

  Have an OfficeJet Pro 6830 with a dead print head. HP is a printer replacement, but we have about 15 faxes in memory that cannot be printed.  Is there anyway to get back them?  We have set up reception digital Fax once we discovered the printhead was bad, but which only send new faxes.

  Hi @GboOffice,

  I see by your post that the printer is replaced and you want to know how to recover 15 faxes in memory of the printer. I would like to help you today.

  If the digital fax has been installed prior to this show, you could have been saved by the software.

  The printer must be able to print newspaper of faxes, to retrieve faxes in memory. With the printer is in an error state, unfortunately it is not possible.

  Thank you.

• Printer HP Officejet Pro 6830: OS 10.6.8 and Officejet Pro 6830

  I just bought a HP all-in-one Officejet 6830 Pro printer, fax, scanner, copier.  I connected it to my laptop, a MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8.  It copy in color, but it will not print from a file in color.  He apparently correctly scan in color, but not to print the scanned in color.  How to print in color?  I can't upgrade my system because I will not be able to access critical software.  What recourse do I have?  When I bought it was incompatible with some operating systems, there is no warning!

  Hey @cshein,

  Welcome to the Forum from HP Support.

  I understand that you encounter an incompatibility between your old version of Mac OS and your new HP Officejet Pro 6830 e-all-in-one printer.  I would like to help.  I can certainly sympathize with you on this one - even if your Mac is not old in real terms, Snow Leopard not blessed with a specific driver for your printer.  I have a workaround that you can try:

  The steps I posted in another thread here suggest using the generic PCL driver for the Mac.  This thread is about a former printer used with Yosemite, this article indicates that the similarities between the latest version of Mac and Snow Leopard are close enough to my advice work with your devices.  Let me know if this approach to configuration works and allows you to print in color.

  Note that the generic PCL printer driver probably won't make you analyze the features of the computer.  If you want to scan without using HP software, click here to get suggestions from HP on how to do it.  Note that this article 10.7 Mac users - oriented steps must always be relevant as Apple Preview, picture Capture and printing and scanning app are all common Mac OS applications that probably are Aussies in versions older Mac OS.

• OfficeJet Pro 6830: replaced warranty for printer and cartridges of manipulation

  My Officejet Pro 6830 AiO printer doesn't have 3 months after purchase (power supply is ok, but it no longer lights). I contacted HP support and a replacement printer is on the way.
  Unfortunately I replaced all ink cartridges 'setup' 4 with brand new just a few days before the failure of the printer, so I asked the Lady to support (good person) if and how I can recover the defective device.
  She told me to take off the cartridges of the faulty unit and retain them for the replacement printer, but was to serve once the "setup" cartridges sent with the unit will be out of ink.

  Now, I have some doubts:

  (1) when I take my full semi the defective printer cartridges, I fear that the ink will start to dry... should I cover the opening at the bottom of the cartridges with tape? Will it be enough?

  (2) the ink in the printhead of the defective unit will start to get dry as well. The defect of the device is clearly in electronics, while the print head has worked perfectly. Isn't bad to leave the print head is clogged by dry ink? I still have empty cartridges "setup" out (differentiation 'stock' of waste...) should I put them on the print head?

  (3) the defective printer does not turn so to loosen its cartridges, I need to manually pull the cart of the printhead to the center position. Is it Ok?

  Thanks to all those who will clear this point to me.

  Hi @RickyGold,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I see that you have questions about your printer HP Officejet Pro 6830. I am happy to answer these questions for you!

  To answer your questions:

  1. To properly store the cartridges, I suggest you put them in an airtight container, such as a ziplock bag or Tupperware. Make sure that the contacts on the cartridges are not touch anything.
  2. I wouldn't worry about the obstruction with the defective printer printhead.
  3. I suggest to try to move the cartridge door manually, but don't force it, if it will not move freely. If you are unable to get the cartridges, please contact HPtelephone support for further assistance. As they would be able to replace the cartridges for you. (After you fill out the information, you will receive a phone number.) If you do not live in the United States / Canada region, please click the link below to get help from your region number.

• OfficeJet Pro 6830: Printer several times in the process of disappearance

  I keep having trouble with my printer. It worked fine for a few weeks, when I first bought, and then it suddenly stopped to record with my mac, despite being connected via USB.

  The first two times, as it happened, I spent a LOT of time searching through your forums, find an answer later. I'm clearly not only the person with similar problems - don't know why you guys can just put up a page on this topic and facilitate the difficulty.

  However, today I find no solutions. I don't have the technical knowledge to make things complicated and I am appauled that HP does not have a call center or lives the Charter for me - I saw the mention of these things, but I can't find where on your website that offers them. Maybe because I'm in Australia. HP has proved to be an extremely bad for making choices.

  Why my printer don't suddenly ceases to be detected? I had an old printer old until I upgraded that NEVER had this problem. Please tell me how to solve this problem. (and band not only help, but stop to happen). I rely on this printer, every day and every time it disappears, I lose a lot of time trying to get connected again.

  Hi @NaomiC,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I noticed that your printer HP Officejet Pro 6830 maintains endangered, on Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite. I'm happy to discuss this issue for you!

  A few questions for you:

  • When the printer breaks off communication with the Mac, you are still able to make copies, using the glass of the scanner of the printer? Copy of Documents.
  • Have you tried to connect the printer USB cable other ports on the Mac?
  • Have you tried another USB printer cable?

  In the meantime, please, try the procedure described in this guide, "printer offline" or "printer not responding" Message (OS X)and let me know what happens!

  Hope this guide helps and hope to hear from you soon!

• HP OfficeJet Pro 6830: HP OfficeJet Pro 6830 - very, very slow to print...

  We just picked up the HP OfficeJet Pro 6830, installed and started to 'use' it. However on the choice of the option to print even a single page monochrome printing - the printer takes a minimum of 2.5 minutes to start and the first sheet on is fully 6 to 7 minutes.

  During the startup process, there are several sounds printhead, cartridges of rolls etc apparently moving in the printer, while a minute passes before paper is taken up by the printer followed by another 2-3 minutes for the first sheet of paper, slowly in the printer.

  For 2-3 minutes the paper is caught in the printer maybe 1-2 "at the same time for half of the page, and then suddenly the rest of the document is completed quickly.  As noted above, this time is on a pdf document which is free from any graphic or anything else of the text. The first official sheet on the calendar for 4 pages of images and text from a PDF from Adobe is 1 minute and 10 seconds.

  If anyone can offer any idea or experience on how to fix this, I'd appreciate your comments. Other that the printer will be back to the retailer for replacement or refund.

  Too little, too late... no effort real here to solve the problem, the same old copy and paste replica of any other officer of the HP Support that can be found nowhere else in this forum - were there, already has not found these 'ideas '. Try to support rather than blaming your end users! -HP makes pay you for it?

• HP officejet pro 6830: SNAPSHOT of HP INK

  My officejet pro 6830 is replaced under warranty after the printhead developed a fault. I had recently installed the first ink cartridges of replacement from the account of the instant ink that I put in place and my question is this, can I return these cartridges with printer broken as an email suggested that they would not work in the replacement printer then just register a new printer with ink instant or what I have to cancel the account and create a new one? Would appreciate some advice before delivery in a few days please. I live in England.

  Hey @NickHarvey,

  Welcome to the Forum from HP Support.

  I understand that you are curious about the Protocol regarding the State of ink and registration of the subscription when you replace an instant printer ink.  I would like to advise you on this.

  First of all, I would hold on these instant ink cartridges.  If they are unused, you can still use them in the new printer.  Even if you have used them before you can return them separately in the same box that comes with your next batch of instant ink.  Essentially, your replacement printer must be "joined" to instant ink and will require a few subtleties of an instant ink HP agent account.  This is where your original account is obsolete and your existing HP connected and the printer identification information entered in a new instant ink account.  Note that these administrative procedures are not something you can do for your self as quickly or effectively as an agent, then you will need to reach out for support.  If you prefer to do business by phone, click on the link below to get help from your region number.

  If you would rather manage this chat live or email here's how:

  Click here to log into your instant account of ink.

  Then use the following screenshots to navigate your way to all the available support options:

• HP Officejet Pro 6830: Receive faxes with a HP officejet pro 6830 w / answering machine

  I had an OLD officejet model that could receive faxes even if the answering machine was not connected directly to the fax machine the 6830 manual says that it must be directly connected.  My current Brother printer does NOT receive faxes because of this problem.  Anyone know if I directly connect my machine to this model (Officejet 6830) to make it work?  I won't buy it if it will not work.

  Hello @JPJ408,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I understand that you are looking to buy a printer all-in-one HP Officejet Pro 6830 for fax purposes. While the User Guide advise you to plug the answering machine directly on the back of the Officejet unit, it is not necessary.

  If you have a fax with an answering machine on her line, the only requirement is that the fax is set to two rings higher than the answering machine. Most of the responders are put back on 4 rings. As a result, you would set your Officejet to automatically pick up on 6 rings. In this way, when a voice is heard, you can manually respond to the call before the answering machine to pick up. If you are not home and then people can still leave messages on your answering machine. If you have a fax to come through, do not respond. The answering machine will pick up after 4 rings. At this point the fax machine "listen" on answering machine message and if fax tones are detected, the fax will take over and receive the fax.

  I hope this helps clear up any confusion.
