Printing printer Lexmark 2600 problems - it prints half a line after replacing the color cartridge

It prints half a line, if the top or the bottom of it and the cutting of the other party.  This happens on every third line.

This started happening when I replaced a color cartridge and ran the alignment page.  Before replacing the cartridge, it prints very well (except that the color cartridge started missing).   When I noticed what was going on, I took both cartridges on and then put them back in and had to print the alignment again page.  Yet the problem persists.
I checked the Device Manager, and my drivers are up to date.  I also checked all connections.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Oh boy.  I don't know what I thought.  It just had to unplugging everything & then reconnect them, turn off & on.  This took care of it - seems so simple now.

I guess it was my new laptop which has the printer all confused.  Win7, my find of CL.

Insofar as the Lexmark support, I have not yet that day.  In any case, it comes to X 2690 model I had for centuries, so I guess that support would be of any help.  I mean, the guarantee missed a long time ago.
Thank you for taking the time to answer.

  • HP 3050 printer prints not clearly even after replacing the color and black cartridges...

    I have a problem on a HP 3050 printer all-in-one that is just a year old.  The printer is not used for several months and it was working properly before.  I tried to print a page and had missing horizontal print, I tried to clean the print heads and it did not help.  I replaced the cartridges with new ones and noticed that the ink levels showed that had the old cartridges.  Black was half full and the color was full.  It wasn't new purchased in-store cartridges refills.

    I tried to force an alignment page on the maintenance of the printer screen and this failed repeatedly, undetected alignment page.  I did some research and even tried to clean links them / connectors than cartridges fits.  Looks like that leaving the cartridges for several months in the printer was bad and that I'll need to ge a new printer.

    Thanks for the tips,

  • The red color does not print correctly. Have just replaced the Red cartridge and the problem remains

    HP Color LaserJet 2600n, Windows 7 64 bit

    The red color does not print correctly, it of a weak orange and turn yellow on the edges.

    The problem is, even if we just replaced the cartridge.

    The other colors are fine.

    I'm sorry.  It's a consumer forum and your printer is a product of the company; would be better served on the forum planned for it.  The business forum will be experienced in printers of business community members and expose the post more than members with the knowledge needed to answer.

  • DeskJet 3070 ceased to print a few days after replacing the black print cartridge

    Please help me, I have HP Deskjet 3070. There works well since then, but I replaced just the black cartridge with original ink and he confirmed that it was a real ink, I printed a few documents and everything was fine and it's just less amonth ago.

    But unfortunately I turned on the printer a week later, but it prints, it only passes through the paper as if it is printing but instead he brings her on a white sheet.

    The task of mentenance using I could see the State of health, says the good. Show full of ink cartridge ink level. Device report - derniŠre indications affixed some pink, blue, yellow rectangles and the printed report print 4 holders.

    I noticed someone has posted a simlar here question one obtained help same day via private message that he has fixed his problem, I commented here a week ago and had asked for help, but have had no response to date.

    Today, I installed a new black ink, thinking that he could be in ink, but she does not always print anothere.

    Please help me.

    New replacement printer arrived today with the new inks, installed game machine with the new inks and everything works as it should. Old machine is to immerse for recycling as advised.

    I'm relieved and I appreciate the after sale HP just rendered services. Although I am a little worried and now fear that it could happen again "after the guarantee" since no clear explanation is given in what concerns what could have caused the failure. And judge with an option of replacement is the best solution, it seems like the cost of the den could be greater than the value.

    Finger is crossed, I hope that it will serve this time or at least give reseonable service before getting on my nerves.

    Thank you HP.

  • printer will work if the color cartridges are ink

    I have an Officejet 4620. My computer says all the ink cartridges are out of ink. I can always print in black. I need to replace the color cartridges?   The printer uses individual cartridges for red, blue and yellow cartridges. Color will be printed in blue and yellow only, so I guess there is little color left.

    I usually do not need color copies and I have another Copier.

    Hello @Connsu,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I would like to help you today with your color cartridge application today. Because your printer uses four cartridges: HP 564 black, HP 564 Cyan, Magenta 564 HP and HP 564 yellow, if one or all of these color cartridges are exhausted replace them to continue using the printer. Your HP Officejets ink system is designed to print when have all ink cartridges. A little ink in each cartridge is used for maintenance and maintenance tasks completed by your printer to keep the print head system in your printer in good working order.

    The print head is the part that the cartridges will fit. It controls the "reading" of the cartridges and put the ink on the page. If the printhead is not able to perform regular maintenance, due to depleted cartridges, there is a chance that the mechanism of the print head gets dirty. If the printhead is damaged in any way a whole unit replacement may be necessary. For more information about using ink please click here.

    In the future, if you mainly print in black from the computer, you can set your printer driver to use black ink only. Normally when you print from your computer files will be sent to your printer as "images". If your printer "thinks" it prints an image file that ink color will be used to enrich the black ink. If you don't want that to happen, you can enable grayscale printing option.

    • How to set grayscale in Windows:
    1. Click on the Start menu
    2. Click on devices and printers
    3. Right click on your printer and select Printing Options
    4. Click on features or Advanced
    5. Select the Grayscale dropdown and replace Black Ink only
    6. Click apply and OK

    If you ever want to print in color that you just open the document to print, click Properties in the print dialog box and change black ink only on OFF. This setting only will change to print one job and will return to black ink only for future jobs.

    • How to set levels of gray on Mac:

    5. In the color menu, select Grayscale or black & white

  • Photosmart 5510 requires the color cartridge to print in black

    I have an Imac running MAC OS X 10.7.5 and a HP Photosmart 5510.

    I can't select a black and white printing other than "regular, fast rough, black and white paper.

    QUESTION: Why are there no "plain paper, best option, black and white"? Or should I ask, where is the ordinary paper, the best black and whitee option?

    Surely each printer must be able to print the last option.

    To satisfy my need for a good level of black and white print that I have to use the color cartridges - it is expensive.

    I would be grateful for any help.

    Thank you.

    To print graphics or the text of quality 'Best' the printer uses color ink.  In the case of text, the color ink is printed black to improve the darkness and roughness of the edge.  (Color ink makes printing 'together' more quickly, reducing the purge on the edges).

    For graphics, the printer uses drops color printing black or gray printing mode best because it gives much better graphics.  The color ink droplets are much smaller than the black.  When the color ink is used for printing in grayscale or B & W graphics, the results are much thinner that the result would be in black ink only.

    If the quality does not matter (much) draft mode provides the best economy, but for a better print quality, color ink is necessary.

  • printer says to replace the ink cartridge, even though it is new

    Hello!

    Could really use some help with my printer. I recently bought new ink cartridges and I replaced the "old", but then my printer started to show on the compensation carriage jam error messages, even though it was clear and since then, he has constantly shown this error message on ink. He wants me to replace an empty ink cartridge to continue printing, it won't work otherwise.

    Ink, that I placed in the printer is totally new and authentic, but there is no answer, he displays the same message to two ink cartridges, which makes me realize that it of not really discern who is new or empty.

    If I remove them both, it tells me that there is an empty ink or damaged.

    I tried the reset of the printer, stop it down and turn, but the same message is displayed immediately. The light next to the screen flashes all the time.

    When I replaced the old cartridges I did not process the printer, I replaced them all first and then let him treat. Maybe it was wrong to do so?

    Any help is appreciated!

    It seems to be a problem with either the hardware of the printer or the replacement cartridge. If it is the cartridge, it should be covered by warranty (if it's authentic HP) given that you bought at just. Now, I think that your best shot would be to contact HP Technical Support to see all the other possibilities for you.

    The only other option would be to try an another new cartridge replacement for rule in or out the cartridge at fault.

    Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector)

    Number one cause of problems with toner.

    Check if the drum unit for damage:

    1. remove the cartridge of toner product and check that the tape has been removed.
    2. check the memory chip for damage.
    3 examine the surface of the imaging drum on the bottom of the toner cartridge.
    CAUTION: Do not touch the roller (Imaging drum) on the bottom of the cartridge.

    His fingerprints on the imaging drum can cause print quality problems.
    4. If you see the scratches, fingerprints, black on the drum, or any other damage on the imaging drum, replace toner.
    5. If the imaging drum does not appear to be damaged, rock the toner cartridge gently several times and reinstall it. Print a few pages to see if the problem is resolved.

  • D7360 does not print in "Black Only", unless the color cartridges are also not empty

    I try to print a document in grayscale mode with Photosmart D7360 printer.

    In the Print Setup dialog explicitly checks the possibility of using 'Black Print Cartridge Only'.

    The printer refuses to print, in saying:

    «The following ink cartridges are empty: Light Cyan.» Replace the ink cartridges to resume printing.

    "The printer doesn't have enough ink to ensure printer health. Empty ink cartridges need to be replaced to resume. »

    This means that even if it does not use the color cartridges, each of them must be non-empty when the printer is in operation?
