Problem cartridge on a HP Photosmart C4180 all-in-one.

The light flashes and the message says "ink cartridge problem...". Remove and check cartridge on the right... Refer to printer documentation ".» I removed the color and black cartridges and putting back them and the light continues to blink. When I got out them, it seems that I saw little ink below from whence they came. The color cartridge is new, but black is a few months old, but I've not seen a low ink warning. Should I buy one new cartridge black or is - this another problem?

This gives a test:

Powered up, remove the cartridges. Ensure not to spill ink where you set the down temporarily. Leave the door open and remove the power cord from the printer, once again while it is still powered. Wait at least 30 seconds, while waiting to see if you can sop delicately part of ink of the stalls with something as a buffer. Then reconnect the power cord to the printer and turn it on. Install each cartridge one at a time, close the lid between each of them and waiting for recognition of each by the printer.

It is possible that the black cartridge could have sunk to the void, then it can be replaced. It is also possible that the ink flowed could interfere with the electrical contacts, that's why I suggested to clean this area. Hope that helps.

  • New black cartridge does not print - Photosmart 5510 all-in-One

    I replaced all my ink cartridges when they ran.  The black cartridge is printing not and cannot even print alignment test page to align my new cartridges.  They are HP cartridges I bought and now after all cleaning procedures, I have now exhausted all new cartridges.  My warranty is exceeded, even if I have not received the new printer last Christmas, but my family he registered in August when they bought it for me.  I'm going to buy new cartridges, but I fear that I will lose more money that this problem will not be solved.  Someone help.  I have uninstalled, reinstalled, cleaned print heads, tried to align the cartridges but error message appears then all new Board would be good.  Thank you

    Hello Cath,

    I'm really sorry to hear about your Photosmart 5510 aligning properly and not printing in black ink. I understand that you have tried to align the printer and it has not solved the problem. I want to help you and make you my best to do it!

    At this point, I do not pretend to try new cartridges (especially black) and trying to do the alignment again. I found a useful troubleshooting guide following which solves the problem, I hope.

    Here's the guide I recommend following step by step:

    A "alignment failed" Error Message appears on the printer

    * Tip - make sure that the printer is connected directly to the wall outlet.

    Please do not hesitate to post your results here and I will help you further if necessary.

  • Problem installing HP Photo Print Cartridge in my HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-one 99

    Simply, I can't understand how to install this cartridge. I think I am following the rules of installation, but it do not go and stay. Now I see that there is an extra room in the box of the cartridge. Just to say AF Ref. 5064-4593 and t here are no instructions except a barely visible figure on the side. It looks like a wagon load of addition for the actual print cartridge. Am I supposed to put in some way as well into the printer?  I could not find the visuals showing how to do this.

    I thought that I should use the 99 cartridge, but maybe wrong that my interpretation of another answer is correct. That said to use it with a different print cartridge that my current 74XL. Even if I do not receive the second correct cartridge, I still need to know how to get the 99 in the printer, if I am to use it.  According to online HP and the HP print cartridge box, this 99 cartridge is compatible with the printer.

    Thank you.

    A few things:

    The extra room is a "cellar" it is used to store the photo cartridge (or the balck cartrdige when the photo cartridge is in the printer).   This keeps the open cartridge do not dry out.

    The #99 cartridge replaced the black cartridge, it is used with the color cartridge.  Make sure you try to put the #99 cartridge into the slot using the cartridge #74 black, not the location of the color.

  • HP Photosmart C4180 all-in-one: can't print or scan

    When I want to print or scan the message "cannot print or scan" and "Scanner failure" happens...»

    When I try to print the document will go to half way and then stops, same message arrives...

    If I want to download and print something good, the printer works!... but again if I try to scan something then it does not work...

    It happened all of a sudden, the printer and the computer have also worked well until this happened.

    I may be low on ink, two symbols like a candle flame, are at the bottom left screen, but a copy or scanning must always be possible even if faded, or...?

    Tried unplugging everything, but no luck...

    Can anyone help? Thank you..

    I am an employee of HP

    Since you said you the error message scanner failure, first try to make a copy and see if the belt scanner moves (moves the light) while copying.

    If the light does not move that it's hardware, you will need to service the printer please call hp tech support.

  • Photosmart C7280 all in one printer keeps giving me expired ink cartridge warning

    My Photosmart C7280 all in one printer Guard giving me expired ink cartridge warning.  The cartridge has expired, but I want to continue to use it as it still has ink.  Is it possible to turn off these warnings to be boring?  I can't print until I have to recognize them!

    @ CoolBreeze202 - I'm sorry that you are having this problem with the ink cartridges and the ink expiration error message.  You can try to clean the contacts on the cartridge and the contacts inside the machine to ensure that built up on the parts are not the source of the error message. Pages 163 and 164 of the user manual will show a manual cleanup process.

    I would also do a hard reset to the printer to try to clear the error message and return the printer to a known working state. No user settings are lost with a hard reset.  Here is a link that will show you how to do a hard reset on this machine.

    Hey Spider! First of all welcome on the forum.

    I recommend to remove all ink cartridges, disconnect the USB cable from the computer that connects to the printer and then turn off the printer completely by unplugging the power cord. Then, restart your computer. Turn on the printer but leave that he disconnected from the computer. After that he ended his power over the cycle forward and reinsert the ink cartridges in the printer and make sure their seat correctly.

    After you have all the cartridges in the printer correctly, then connect it to the computer. See if that fixes the problem. If not post back with no results.

    Thank you

  • Problem connecting USB to install HP Photosmart 5510 all-in-one inkjet

    Photosmart 5510 all-in-one inkjet

    Windows XP Pro x 86 (32-bit) service pack 3

    Software installs fine until he asking for the type of connection. The computer does not have wireless so I select USB connection and it fails every time. If I select to connect to PC later and plug in the USB, Windows detects new hardware (HP 5510) and asks where to look for drivers. When directed to the installation CD "Invalid data" error when copying files. In the Device Manager in the USB section it lists the Photosmart 5510 with a yellow! Selection of reinstall the driver results in an "impossible to install error.

    There is no other printer currently installed on the computer and the 5510 Photosmart is set as default printer. So far I have;

    tried different usb ports

    tried running the installer from the installation CD

    I tried to download updated drivers

    tried to install with disabled firewall and antivirus

    tried to install it in safe mode

    Same problem occurs every time. Any solutions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you.

    Finally solved the problem. Had an old Pentium 3 machine around the pose and decided to try to change the disk hard on and see if I could install the printer with a different material.

    It turns out that the mup.sys file, which has something to do with PnP devices, has been damaged and Windows wouldn't start in the other Tower. Then, I took out the HARD drive and put it back in the Dell can reformat Windows XP and guess what, printer installed without a hitch the first time I tried! Now I have to reinstall everything on the computer * sigh *.

    In any case, the printer problem fixed!

    C4180 all-in-one, bought 2007-Windows XP - color cartridge not installed error message

    correctly. Replacement cartridge, worked well for two weeks, then the message came again many

    times. Removed the color ran only black. Clean the cartridge color (3/4 full) and clean the area inside

    where cartridge inserts, Reinserted. Worked OK for a week, then the message reappeared. While

    week, did not have access cartridges, just be added paper. Using genuine HP cartridges only!

    Looks like the error got stuck in the printer memory.  A hard reset should clear.

    To do a hard reset:

    1. Make sure that the printer is turned on.
    2. Pull out the power cord from the printer.
    3. Pull out the power cord from the wall.
    4. Wait 30 seconds.
    5. Plug everything up and turn on the printer.

    That should clear the error.  Let me know what happens.

    Hello

    I have a HP Photosmart 2713 all-in-one and installed OSX Mavericks. My print function works fine through "Printers & Scanners" in system preferences, however, I can't scan from this application.

    I tried to find software to download HP Scan that I didn't do it, but can't find the software for my printer/scanner.

    I also tried the other methods described for example by trying to browse an excerpt and the other options, but nothing has worked.

    Thank you

  • Problem with the installation of the solution Center for a HP Photosmart Premium all-in-one printer - C309g

    Hi people,

    I searched many threads and found some tips to remedy this, tried and had no chance.

    I am running Windows 7.  All updates are underway.  When I bought the printer, I installed the software (on Windows 7 OS) from the disc and everything was fine.  Fast forward a year and Solution Center has stopped working.

    Uninstalled all HP software to reinstall.  I could only reinstall HP Update.  I was able to load the basic print and scan drivers, but not following any software, including solutions Center.  Installation stops abruptly after "install updates".

    I even downloaded and tried "PS_AIO_06_C309g-m_USW_Full_Win_enu_140_175" and got the same result as the original installation disc.

    What can I do with my printer (HP Photosmart Premium all-in-One Printer - C309g)?

    Thank you
