• Color all-in-one test page OK but not printing colours

  My 2355 has worked perfectly for years, but recently print color correctly applications won't like Word. For example, a green background print as light blue and yellow vertical stripes, and the photos are different shades of pink.  The color cartridge is full and the printer test page is fine. I did all the help steps recommended to clean the contacts, etc.. It seems that the software is not properly talk to the printer.

  I myself have solved by uninstalling my printer and then reinsert.  Now it works perfectly.

• HP Photosmart 3310 all-in-one does not print print test page doe but doesn't show is not black

  I have a printer all-in-one HP Photosmart 3310 that does not correctly print a test page (print color but not black) and does not print a WORD document from my computer.  The color that should be black in the test page after CLEANING print head appears as a Purple-ish Brown, although after the PRINTER SNAP the printed page shows a short BLACK bar to the left of the five longer bars in FIVE COLORS.  The computer in use is a HP Pavilion dv7 with processor Intel Core i7-3610QM, 2.3 GHz, Ram 8. 0 GB (7.9 GB available), 64-bit and Win 7 Home Premium OS, SP1.

  After having downloaded HP Print and Scan doctor, we arrived, after a series of steps to "If the cartridges have been refilled and none is empty, try calibration of color": Open HP Solution Center (start, all programs, HP, HP Solution Center), then click on settings, settings, printer Toolbox, printing on the tab device Services, click on color to calibrate.  This procedure is NOT AVAILABLE, however, because I can't find the HP Solution Center.

  What should I try to fix this problem?  Please be specific - and please also include any recommendations for a remedy that is exactly what happens if something must be verified or checked before trying the recommended remedy.

  Since the last post, I repeated the test several in Solutions of HP.  Whenever I have repeated the procedure clean print heads, improve the quality of printing in black ink a little bit.  After several passages of this test, maybe 5 or 6 more and separated by some rest of the time, the quality of printing in black ink has reached the State that I consider finally acceptable.

  A variable that I can't rule out or rule through all this is the temperature and the humidity.  It has been a winter VERY exceptionally difficult, with a lot more than zero days and subzero temperatures.  And with that comes challenges with the indoor humidity (even if we have the whole House humidification).

  In all cases, the printer now works without problem.  And I'll post that I accept the solution most recently proposed by the HP Forum.

• I have; ve reinstalled the software, wireless, everything went through fine. He asked me to remove the USB cable while it printed a test page. But he does not accept printing orders

  I have; ve reinstalled the software, wireless, everything went through fine. He asked me to remove the USB cable while it printed a test page.  But he does not accept printing orders - printer offline.  Very frustrating!

  So, you have a problem with Picasa. You should contact them.

  I also quite what your note 'Wireless' has to do with the question. Maybe it's because you have yet to provide a lot of information...

  I started today be able to print from my computer, but not a second computer.

  I followed the advice of HP support including an update of the LION driver download.

  I deleted and added the printer on both computers.

  Now I can't print from my computer.

  Furthermore, why did I have to find in an HP forum on the new drivers.  Should not the printer HP offer update me the information?

  Reset the printing system:

  -Go to System Preferences > print & Scan
  -Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.

  -Select the sign more to add a printer. Select the default tab on the top of the window. Search for the printer, select it, and wait until the button 'Add' becomes available. Until it clicks.

• Windows 8 and now cannot get my printer to print. Tried to print a test page, message says "sent to the printer test page", but it does not print.

  I recently downloaded Windows 8 and now cannot get my printer to print.  Tried to print a test page, message says "sent to the printer test page", but it does not print.  Can you help me?

  You have installed the drivers and software for your printer?  Did you go to the printer manufacturer's website to see if they still have 8 available Windows compatible drivers?  If the answer is no, then you must do this before all first I try to print.

• the printer test page does not print in the Tools menu under Windows 7 64-bit

  I have printing OfficeJect 910n 8500 a install wireless. The XP machine can see the printer and can the printer through the web server in the printer test page. 64-bit Windows 7 system allows you to print to the printer without problem but unable to print the test page printer through the web server built into the printer. Windows 7 use IE9, XP use IE8. The indices here / thank you

  Found the answer! I had to upgrade the built-in server to use compatibility mode in IE9. Worked fine in Chrome, so it was not the firewall or network configuration.

  Do you receive messages when this happens?

  What version of Windows are you using?

  A few things to try.

  Go in Edition > Preferences > Documents and PDF/A mode set to 'never '.

  Then go in Edition > Preferences > (improved) security and uncheck the box "enable mode at startup protected.

  If this does not work, you can always try by selecting 'Print picture' in the Advanced Print dialog box.

• HP All In One Officejet 4500: HP print jobs all in a single Officejet 4500 disappear. Print test pages. NO ERROR MESSAGE.

  Lenovo Thinkpad T61 refurb bought last fall. Today when you attempt to print a page of a web site (Firefox, latest update installed today) the print job has disappeared. I tried e-mail (Thunderbird and web) and files, and in all cases, the print job goes away completely. I did all the steps of printing test pages, and they all work very well. I have uninstalled/reinstalled the printer, without result.  I tried new drivers or updated without result.

  The light of attention seems to be on, but it is very weak and disappears when the printer goes into powersave mode. There is NO error anywhere, nothing appears on the search via the control panel.

  At this point, I have a broken printer? A situation of system restore?

  A wasted two hours and I'm about to be really annoyed. Ideas appreciated. TQ

  How very special. Not your answer, thank you very much for your time. But there were two solutions posted much sooner, within a very short time after I posted the question. Confined together part both of the solution and the rest of the solution were, essentially, download the software version of seven 2014, which supersedes what I had. So, I've marked the post as solved, says thanks a lot and thought no more about it. (Although I am still puzzled as to why it happened in the first place.) Now, my post is reopened, the responses of two originals have disappeared, and yours have been replaced, all this without any explanation. It's just a bit too scary. Fortunately, the problem seems to have been fixed by the software update. So, I'm marking as closed/resolved. Thank you.

• HP 2540_Keeps Print Test page

  Hello.

  I have myself treated right I mean on a wireless printer. HP2540.

  It works fine except that it

  KEEPS PRINTING TEST PAGE almost everytime I turn it on?

  

  Help! I looked in the settings, properties etc... don't see anything that could help.

  Thank you!

  Kim in N.C.

  Hi Kim and thank you for the reply!

  In my view, that the question seems to have disappeared for the moment.  If it does not return, I recommend you follow the instructions: "for a better quality of impression, place this page on the glass and then press a button to copy."

  This will ensure that the printer is aligned and your ink is used effectively, thus to prevent this return message.

  Please let me know if you have any questions.

• How to stop feeling ALWAYS of my C3180 all-in-One printer test page?

  Whenever I have replace the black ink cartridge in my C3180 all-in-one printer, it prints a test page. Every time. Always.

  It's boring, but also expensive ink is not cheap.

  I have an iMac with OS X 10.6.8 'Snow Leopard '.

  I have the latest software/drivers of HP printer.

  I also searched all the software, to see if there are preferences and settings that I can change.

  I realize that a test page should be printed after a new cartridgev is installed, and maybe when I need to test it. But not every freakin ' the printer is turned on. The cartridgte in there now is new and the ink is already weak, and what I am printing is barely readable. There's a pile of scrap paper next to the printer, all test sheets!

  I apologize for the attitude, but at more than $20 a pop for the cartridges, it's cost me money that I can hardly afford.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Whenever you replace an ink cartridge cartridge he must be aligned.

  Lack of any color will make the alignment to fail and so the printer will continue to try to complete alignment.

  Compare the jessy printed with this example, it can happen if you ran out of color ink, etc.:
