• Series HP Photosmart C309a

  I bought this printer, HP Photosmart C309a series, in February 2010 and is just beginning to have some problems with printing photos on photo paper. When I print on paper, the photo is clear and the colors are good. When I print on photo paper, the colors are all washed out similar to look at a negative.

  Has anyone ever experienced such a problem and if so, is there a solution before you go out and buy a new printer.

  @MeArtist,

  What type of program you are using to print?

  What setting when you try to print?  A screen shot would help me.

  Please get back to me and I'll continue to help you.

  Hello @Wayne0825,

• Is my HP Photosmart C309a series ePrint allow?

  I set up my printer for wireless connection. I couldn't add it to eprint. Is my HP Photosmart C309a series ePrint allow?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Your HP C309a printer does not support eprint. Most HP printers that supports the eprint feature has a letter from e. For example:

  * HP Photosmart Premium Fax e-All-in-One Printer - C410a

  * HP Photosmart Premium e-All-in-One Printer - C310a

  The updated model of your C309a (HP Photosmart Premium Fax all-in-One Printer) that supports eprint is the HP Photosmart Premium Fax e-all-in-one printer - C410a!

• Photosmart C309a don't scan

  My C309a don't scan:

  -When I press the button on the printer, it is said there is a problem of scan and told me to "try to start the scan of the computer, refer to the documentation for more details"

  -When I open the HP solution on the Office Center, it says it cannot run because "your device isn't complete... Please connect the USB cable or re-run the form progam setup from the installation to a network installation CD... If it does not complete the installation or you do not have the CD to access the HP help files by clicking on the start menu.

  -J' uninstalled and reinstalled the software from the CD - it did not work

  -J' downloaded the new drivers from here:

  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=3737193&...

  -J' tried and then install the device. I clicked the USB cable option, rather than wireless or ethernet options, and when I clicked 'Next' he told me to check the cable USB is plugged in and the unit was powered. he wouldn't let me go forward even if I put the computer turned off and removed the USB cable before trying again and reconnect them

  -l' printer prints perfectly fine USB cable... it's not just scan!

  -I had not moved the USB cable to a different USB port... still no joy

  I'm out of ideas

  In response to my own Announces 1/2 day later.

  HP Photosmart C309a will not computer scan.  The HP Solution Center does NOT open.  Can print but cannot open the HP Solution Center and command the C309a to scan a document.  Using Windows 7.  Tried to download new driver and also used the original installation disc without success in the restoration of the HP Solution Center that is used to control the printer to perform analyses.

   

  Click the Start button on windows at the bottom left

  Click "all programs."

  Clicked on "HP".

  Under "HP" clicked "Photosmart C309a Series"

  Click 'add a device '.

  A program was launched which has detected my existing C309a and when he was finished the HP Solution Center has been restored to its previous working state.  I did this using the wireless connection.  I always have not plugged the laptop in the wired connection on my desktop that I don't want to get out of this comfortable chair and address this issue more. He now works in wireless mode, and that's good enough for now!

  I watched a lot of forums on this topic and can't see an acceptable answers. I have a new HP 520z all-in-one and a Photosmart Premium Fax c309a printer works wirelessly.  Computer came with Windows 7 and IE9.  The printer will not print anything on the web, including e-mail, even when I try to print screen.  My wife is running Windows7 and IE 8 and has no problem.  I run HP Diagnostics and it conflict pilot sez.  I install the new printer and Windows sez can not install I get around.  I see that I'm not the only person having this problem.  Many sites also reveal this conflict.  Help?

  I contacted HP support by phone and they have said that there is a problem with IE9 and the Photosmart c309a no internet print and e-mail printing.  There may be others, but that was not mentioned.  So at the present time, that the solution is remove ie9 and replace with ie8.  Now my printer works perfectly.  They talked me through it.

• HP Photosmart c309a: HP Photosmart c309a will not re - install

  I had printing problems with my HP Photosmart c309a. The print queue says printer is offline. I did a few things that have worked before, unplugged the printer and plugged, computer, etc.. So I decided to uninstall the printer and reinstall it. It worked in the past. I can't get the printer to re - install. I download and installed the drivers, still would not re - install. I used the CD that came with the printer to try to re - install, but it is said that the Windows operating system is not compatible with this printer. I have Windows 7 (64-bit) and use this computer with this OS and this printer for four years without problem. Any suggestions? The system would update yesterday. The OS is Windows 7 Service Pack 1, 64-bit.

• Photosmart c309a scan option disappeared

  Scanner and printer of HP Photosmart c309a

  My wife and I are both using iMacs. It is Mountain Lion running, I'm running the Mavericks.

  I checked the updates and we run all the current software.

  We have both access the printer using bluetooth.

  A week ago, we both noticed that the SCAN option disappeared from the Photosmart c309a system pref window.

  I tried to delete the printer, rebooting and then reinstall the printer, the problem remains.

  Attempt to analysis the computer to the printer display panel results in a message on the printer saying "start the Scanner from the computer" as it has always done.

  Print still works fine, so I don't think it's a problem of bluetooth.

  Can't find the answers in the support forum.

  Someone at - it ideas

  Hi Hellsfish,

  This would mean that there is a hardware failure in the machine, but only with the wireless radio. As you know, the printer works still but not wireless. You can certainly still connect via Ethernet or USB for printing and scanning capabilities well.

• Wireless installation need help with Photosmart c309a Mac OS x 10.6.8

  I lost my hard drive and am now reinstalling my drivers etc. for the HP Photosmart c309a Mac OS x 10.6.8. It will print if I connect via the USB port, but my office is across the room from the printer. At the same time, I was able to print and scan wireless. The last time I had to reinstall I lost the ability to scan wireless, so I think I originally had it network via airport, but used Bluetooth when I reinstalled.

  Now, I can print when connected by USB, but I can't make a wireless setup works. When I try to print it says I am offline, and when I try to connect it says I am connected via the URL: usb://HP/Photosmart%20C309a%20series?serial= [my serial number here shows].

  I am connected to Internet via WiFi to the installation service. I can also connect through our Verizon MiFi. I would like the ability to scan and print, but if I am limited to Bluetooth and print only, I would appreciate help with this setup as wireless printing is the most important.

  Oh, the manual shows how to configure a Windows wireless system in both directions, but I do not use Windows. Thank you for all you can offer instructions.

  AHG,

  This guide should guide you through the installation process and get you up and running wireless. Let us know if this helps: http://goo.gl/c2IXf

  Good luck!

• HP Photosmart c309a network wireless radio does not. printer no longer sees (network)

  My Photosmart c309a printer is not ALL networks.

  -using the windows Vista

  -four portable wireless maintain excellent connections to the home network

  -a the recent failure of electricity, but all computers domestic mobile re-login to the network;

  -a ran HP wireless network Test Report which shows wireless "On", but "The FAILURE" of wireless work;

  -diagnostic report also shows wireless radio does not. and I have to contact HP support.

  So far, I took the following measures:

  -stop the entire network (Linksys router)

  -unplugged and replugged the printer and router

  -set factory default printer

  -all I can think (but go ballistic)

  I have a similar problem, except that my 309 a link but if it is idle for a few moments he log out and have to stop and reconnected or reset using the configuration menu.  Contact with HP said that HP is aware of the problem but that he has no intention to post a fix and the problem is inherent in most of their printers...  Techrep indicated that the best solution to get a new printer.  I recently bought a Canon all-in-one and it works as advertised.  I always use my HP in a wireless mode, but you need to restart after each impression if more that a few short minutes between printing.  Sorry I'm no help, but just passing on what HP says about this printer.

• Photosmart C309a - multiple impressions

  I bought a Photosmart C309a printer that I hooked to print wireless to my router dsl 2wire and 2 laptops and 1 desktop.  Installation was easy enough, but when the printer print test photo during installation on one of the laptops 2, he printed the same photo over and over again (I cancelled the print job after 7 draws).  It also does the same thing when I went to print any document (printed the same permanently).  OS is Vista Home Basic, on the problem laptop and Windows XP Home Edition, on the other laptop and Windows XP home edition on the desktop.  All other functions (IE copy) work very well, I then spent over 4 hours on the phone with technical support from HP who took control of my computer, did an uninstall L3 and reinstalled (several times) and still unable to solve the problem.  I returned the printer for a replacement, which has just arrived, and I'm having the same problem.  One strange thing I noticed, is that when I check the impression that she always says that I print pages 3/1 (for a document of a page or a picture).  I also noticed this 'error' when I print from the desktop or the laptop XP, except that when it is done that (correct number) print pages, it says 'delete' under status and the print job completes successfully.  Someone at - it ideas?  I can't face another spend 4 hours with technical support to search my computer just to tell me that they cannot solve the problem!  Is this a Vista problem?

  As reported in another post, I found a solution for this problem that affects the prints of c309a with Windows Vista and Windows 7 (not Windows XP!).

  I've disabled 'bidirectional support' in the properties-> Ports and no more additional copies of my c309a.

  I have a photosmart C309a and a Mac computer.  I have an OS x 10.5.8 when I try to print something from my email, I can not get the printer to work.

  I don't get the error messages.   The printer will start printing but displays only 4 words at the top of the page.   These words are from:, subject:, Date:, and Tme:.  The rest of the page is blank. The area beneath the orientation box said: Mail.

  I can get it to print only if there is an enclosure that I can open as a coupon. & then the area beneath the box orientation said Safari.

  I tried to print the printer status reports, but all I get are boxes with no words in them. The colors will print well.

  All I get are the colored lines & boxes.

  We will restore the print system:

  -Go to System Preferences > Print & Fax
  -Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
  WARNING - This will remove ALL your printers!
  -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.
