PSC photoSmart 2410 - Vista - a LOT of problems

Hello - I am trying to help a friend, and I'd like YOUR help!  :-)

Printer: HP PhotoSmart PSC 2410

System: Windows Vista (G - help us)

PROBLEMS:

1. it seems that since Vista was installed on XP (a year ago) the printer will not print or copy in B & W

One exception - unit would BE printing when printing from the program of electronic messaging - but nothing else!

(I ran the printer head cleaning and re-alignments unit and clean the cartridge by hand - it seems in good condition)

(I got tones of gray when you print the page example of Unity)

-Could there be a connection with the installation of Vista, as it seems?

-What else could prevent B & W print and copy on this unit?

2. the analysis unit also is more - unit printer says to set up the printer on the computer software, but, obviously, it isn't any Vista software for the printer.

3. my friend tried to reinstall XP drivers - which seems to have wiped out the Vista drivers - when I try to have Vista restores the drivers, it fails to do anything!

(I unplug the printer, shut down printer, restart Vista, restart the printer, connect printer--> nothing happens.)

There's something else I should do - why aren't installing Vista drivers?

-Are there something short of reinstalling Vista, can I do to get generic drivers for Vista working again?

Y at - THERE * ANY * DRIVER - HP or third-party THAT WILL GET A VISTA SYSTEM WORKING WITH THIS DEVICE?

Thank you.

OK - I've had more time to return to the House of my friend today to solve this problem.

The two main symptoms:

(1) do not copy

(2) do not print with the exception of a web browser

BOTH are down to a bad toner B & W cartridge.

The thing was fairly new, and the ink was still pretty busy. I had cleaned the heads and ink flowed easily from the cartridge - maybe it was the oxidation of the contacts or broken connectivity.

The * full * lack of impression after an attempt to install XP drivers was not related to this attempt, but the USB cable on the device after loosening.

Once the USB cable is properly plugged in and installed a new black cartridge, of the test pages worked, copy worked at B & W color and printing applications worked.

FINALLY - functions of scanner was enabled using VueScan ($40).

THUS, in addition to the fax functions (I don't have time too check and that my friend does not use), this of HP PSC Photosmart 2410 is now fully functional.

Isn't * that that HP get away for failing to update the drivers for units like this - they still let us lower notes in this regard, for this unit.

Thanks to those who tried to help!

  • HP psc photosmart 2410: align ink cartridges

    I replaced the cartridge three-color No. 57 and the display showed ' align the print cartridges - Press OK to print the Page align.

    I pressed 'OK' and a page was fueled and the printer made looks like fine print, 'impression' was displayed and then he stopped and the same "Align" message was displayed.  I went to this cycle several times and was never able to print an alignment page.  I can't get rid of the message and therefore I can't use other functions; scan, fax or copy.  I can always print pages of the computer, however.  Does anyone know how to reset or escape from this situation?  Help, please.  Thank you.

  • PSC Photosmart 2410: 2410 os

    I'm trying to connect my Macbook to the printer psc 2410. Unfortenately I received the message that the printer is inactive (I can see the printer in the preferences). Reinstall the printer does not help. I get the message that a part of the software is missing. It is possible to install a new driver because the software is already included in the Mac OS nog software.

    Any help is welcome.

    Hi @Michiel1,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I see that you are getting the message that a part of the software is missing, when trying to install your HP PSC 2410 on Mac OS X 10.6. I'm happy to help with this problem!

    According to this guide, installation of a printer Mac driver by using Apple Software Update:

    If a message appears that the printing software is not available, try these recommendations and procedures to solve the problem.

    Make sure that the Mac has a connection to the Internet. Without an Internet connection, the Apple software update cannot locate the latest print driver.

    Make sure that your printer has a driver available. For a complete list of HP printers with drivers available via Apple Software Update, go to the following pages on the Apple.com website:

    In addition, go to HP printers not supported by Mac OS X for a list of unsupported printers and for other options.

    If your printer is supported, but the driver failed to install, you can manually download the driver from Apple. Go to one of the following pages on the Apple.com site, depending on your version of Mac OS X, download the driver.

    Drivers for your printer can not release immediately after a new version of Mac OS X, released to the public. The time for a driver to output may vary. Try the procedure described in this document again periodically to check if the driver released.

    Try to use AirPrint. If the HP software is currently unavailable, AirPrint could be an alternative to perform basic printing tasks. See the How to install a printer AirPrint-supported on my Mac? FAQ in this document for more information.

    I hope that this information helps solve your problem, and have a great day!

  • HP PSC Photosmart 2410 - Photo printing ok on normal, but not on paper photo paper?

    Hello

    Can you help me?  I recently tried to print photos on photo paper (that I have not had problems with before), but the printing result is that colors and therefore the photos are fine for the first third of the photo book but then became pink and blue stripes.  I would have thought it was toner related but print the same photos on normal quality paper and the photo is good.

    Before I throw the current toner can anyone comment?

    Thank you

    It seems that you are low on the yellow ink.  When printing in ink mode to photo mode is used more quickly and that the cartridge is low it may not able to cope with the demand.  Plain paper using ink at a more leisurely pace and a photo can be printed correctly in plain paper mode.  A new cartridge should solve your problem.

    I'm having a lot of problems with firefox and cannot figure out how to get help. It all started when I updated to 13. I get all kinds of advertising popups, I can't play a game on FaceBook called Farm Town at all, and I get a popup of AVG on the cookies that I can't get rid of. These issues are causing me to use Chrome quite often, although I like Fox better. I've searched and searched how to get help and find nothing. How can I get personalized technical help? These problems will not occur in Chrome at all. Thank you.

    Do a check with some malware malware, analysis of programs on the Windows computer.

    You need to scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.

    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

    Alternatively, you can write a check for an infection rootkit TDSSKiller.

  • Satellite A200 - PSAF6A Vista: HDMI video resolution problem

    Hello

    Bought a Toshiba Satellite A200 recently, with a HD2600. Because I can't find an APA Help Forum, I hope someone can help me here.

    I have the following problem.
    I use another manufacturer AL2216W (the only available driver is for XP, which I installed it on Vista Ultimate without any problems) widescreen 22'.

    The monitor is capable of displaying 1680 x 1050 (60 Hz). If I connect it to the analog port of the laptop, I can select the resolution and it works very well.

    If I connect it to (via a DVI - D to HDMI Cable adapter) HDMI port on my laptop, the highest resolution is only 1440 x 900. I already installed the drivers several times, but it does not show the resolution 1680 in digital mode.

    The strange thing is that the monitor is correctly identified with the resolution to 1680 x 1050.

    I use the extended view option, since I want to use both screens.

    Thank you

    What do you think of technical requirements?
    Maybe the graphics card does not offer this resolution for HDMI port. I don't think you can solve this problem with the latest driver from Toshiba. I know that you want to have the digital signal, but if nothing works try to use this adapter.

  • A lot of problems at all the podcast shows we produce

    Hi guys,.

    We have a few podcast shows we produce and publish. The problems below seem to have an impact on all of these shows that I will focus on a specific show for reasons of readability and the confusion.

    The show is Smallzy surgery; https://iTunes.Apple.com/au/podcast/smallzys-surgery/id642832209?MT=2

    Over the weekend, people started to lose the ability to download episodes or subscribe to the show. Some of the things we noticed;

    1. Playing the episode in iTunes without subscribing Office is very well
    2. iTunes and other Podcasting software (test with Pocketcasts on my Android) consistently show too few episodes later the 1, 2 or 3 missing.
    3. Trying to subscribe to the show in iTunes on the product IOS error "the link provided is not a valid podcast." (Note the 1 post - reading in the EP in iTunes Office is fine).
    4. I can view flow very well as well as active access all connected (images and media files)

    So, I can confirm that there has been no changes to code on our site, the feed or any changes made to the storage at all. I can say that I had problems with the validation of the food (https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nova969.com.au%2Fpo dcast % 2Fshow % 2F292789% 2Ffeed) - looks like that maybe there is a problem with the first empty line? All foods seem to fall with it.

    It's our problem and I would like any help with this as its cause a lot of problems with both of our podcasts of the problems.

    Thank you

    Christian

    Note that we see a date of January 1, 2001 on playback of podcasts and I have no idea where this origin.

  • I am running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (build) 2600 and have a lot of problems.

    Hi all

    I am running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (build) 2600 and have loads and loads of problems. Windows keeps hung and everything I tried didn't seem to help.
    I brought this second hand from a company computer, I used to work and I don't have the original installation cd or rescue disk. I meet a lot of problems and everything takes forever to load and work. I was advised to run maleware, spyware, antivirus and defrag on the computer analyses and I did all that and nothing works. Also, when I tried to run the system restore it wouldn't let me, and when I try to run the scan disk after a reboot it does not work. As a last effort, I tried running SFC and it looked as if it was working, but then it asked me for the initial startup disk, that I don't have. so I tried to cancel it, but now every time that I reboot/restart my computer load SFC and I have to start the entire process. Also, none of my cd drives work. Please help me
    Also, I'm now a message that says minimum virtual memory is very low.
    I would be very grateful for any help or advice anyone can offer us on these issues. a million thanks in advance.

    Hello

    1 how long have you been faced with this problem?
    2. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?
    3. what exactly happens when you try to run the scan disk or system restore? You receive an error message? If yes then after return the exact error message.

    No software XP, Microsoft no longer offers that you will need to make arrangements for windows XP windows installation CD. You can check the question in the clean boot state.

    From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

    Reference:
    How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
    1. click on start and then click Run.
    2. type msconfig and click OK.

    The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

    3. click on the tab general, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
    4. When prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

  • A lot of problems with my CLIQ

    First of all, I would like to say that I take good care of my phone and there is NO damage or water damage done to it. I had my CLIQ since a few months now (about 3 months) and now I'm starting to have problems with it. The first problem I had was the keyboard backlight. Him DIA lit not I called customer service and they told me to do a master rest on it. So I did everything that I have said and still nothing has been fixed. So two days after I tried the reset again and nothing happens. After the reset, I tried to log in to my account, the second problem occurred. While session opening in my existing account, an error message comes up saying that my account was created incorrectly. I am so angry that I have to pay $400 for a phone that comes with a lot of problems. They must either replace my phone with a BRAND NEW one or another phone. Can someone help me please on how to solve these problems. My warranty has passed and I don't have insurance on this subject.

    you are connected to a wifi network or at least 3G while you try to connect? WIF works better. If you are on the edge, then it will Time out most of the time. From my experience at least. While you are at the login screen, you can press Menu > configure wifi. Then, you will be able to get into the wifi settings to connect.
