  • Photosmart Plus B210a will not print on the Windows XP computer, but works on the Windows 7 computer

    I just got a Photosmart Plus B210a printer. I was able to install it using the wireless for my Dell Dimension 3000 3 GHz computer with Windows XP 32-bit SP3. He will answer analysis, but it will NOT print, it doesn't matter what I do. I have a Netgear wireless router. I tried the Dell connected directly to the router using a USB of Netgear WG111v3 USB adapter and cable. No impression whatever the configuration.

    On the other hand, I was able to make the printer work with an Athlon II X 4 630 with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit AMD machine. Everything works independently to know if the machine is connected directly to the router Netgear or using the above USB adapter.

    How can I make work B210a with my Dell with Windows XP? Is this a problem XP because Windows 7 has worked perfectly, but Windows XP would only scan.

    Subsequently, I deleted all initially loaded B201a software. At the printer detects the network, then reloaded the software from the CD. The printer then worked fine. What a relief. Perhaps the problem I had previously was linked to my trying to use the USB port when the printer originally did not work.

  • Photosmart 7510 - will not print black on any parameter of photo paper (does not print on plain paper setting)?

    HP Potosmart 7510, printing from a memory card.  Using premium photo paper (glossy), set printer to print on HP Premium Plus Photo), printing out with Black/Brown areas in the blue-green instead of black.  Printing using plain paper, set printer on regular paper, just fine.    Same thing happens when I tried Advanced Photo and a Photo paper - print comes out with a blue-greenish cast in areas that should be black/brown.

    Tried to print a black and white photo - identical to all other attempts - if the choice of the photo options paper, the dark areas are blue/green.

    Comment - then try printing from the computer (wireless), produced the same result - black areas are printed in blue-greenish.

    Tried cleaning the cartridges, alignment printer, print quality status report looks very good.

    Door on this forum and general web search.  Nothing has yet solved problem.

    What should I do?  Any ideas/suggestions?

    Yes, this is the case on a 7510.  I worked on the answer.  Although "ink" diagnostice demonstrates both the black and the cartridges 'photo black' as being low, the 'black photo' was apparently empty.  The black of the photo must be called only because when the print properties are defined for the "photo paper", and when it is empty the black dark areas print in blue-green.  I thought that the black photo cartridge was a gray, for most thin shades grey, but maybe it's an intensifier of some sort.  It's a shame that HP does publish no real information.

  • Photosmart HP 6510 will not print black text of emails but ok for photos and web pages

  • HP Photosmart Plus B209A does not print black ink despite trying two separate NEW ink cartridges black

    HP Photosmart B209A more

    MAC

    No error messages but trying to align or check colors - black doesn't print at all

    No change - knew ink was low so I tried to install a new black ink cartridge - then one day later tried an another new black ink cartridge

    I tried all the techniques of "Troubleshooting" listed on the page Web - align, clean the print heads, install the new cartridges, looking for trouble with the vents, etc.  I have only used HP ink cartridges.

    Hi abruce,.

    Usually, it is a result of dried/clogged ink nozzles in the printer or the print head.

    According to some other users on the forums, you can remove the print head (use this guide if you are unsure how: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01944580)

    Make sure the cartridges are removed from the print head

    Dive head in hot water, nozzles downwards. (about 1 in. of water) and leave any residue of ink to flow. This process should take about 15 minutes. Ensure that the print head is completely dried out and there is no moisture in the electrical contacts or the rest of the part.

    I hope this helps!

  • My HP Photosmart Plus B210e printer will not print black ink, only gray/color.

    My printer HP Photoshop more faithful 210th has stopped printing in black ink last week. It prints color beautifully, but where there should be black it comes out just as gray or white spot. I have tried two new ink cartridges, cleaned print heads, reinstalled the driver, all to nothing does not. I tried to align the printer, but it gave me a failure message. Need help please, I desperately need to be able to print to school! I have Mac 10.8, so I couldn't do the online troubleshooting.

    -Very well, sounds like you might have clogged or dry print head. What I propose, is that you first use the Tools menu under Setup for clean print heads at least three times. If that does not improve the quality of your print (PQ) or if you already have gift which, I would say that you remove the printhead and clean the back of the cradle with a non fluffy cloth (like a coffee filter) and a little water. The section you want to clean will be triggered copper bumps where the printer makes electrical contact with the print head.

    If this fails, an unconventional way to solve the problem which has worked in the past:

  • OJ6500 Wireless will not print black more

    He sayd the cartridge is full, I even put another new in there, but when I go to print a windows test page, only prints color "flag."  Any other page only prints color - not the black substance.  Can I do to fix this or should I just go "offices" on this subject (especially since I can not use wireless b/c he's constantly found, hangs up in the middle of printing and printing 500 + pages of just the first inch of any page I want to print when I connected to the wireless router)?

  • HP officejet 8500 has more will not print black and white because the color cartridge is low

    I have entered the property and set it to 'levels of gray' and 'use black ink only', but the printer still will not print because "the yellow ink cartridge is low.

    incredibly frustrating that the cartridges of color completely stop you from printing, even if you are trying to print in color.

    Proffessional OS-windows 7

    is there a known solution for this?

    Unfortunately, the printer does not print until the replacement of the yellow ink. There is no work around for low ink message.

  • HP Envy 7640: HP Envy 7640 will not print photos from the photo tray

    I bought a HP Envy 7640 today, 11/05/2016.  It will NOT print photos from the photo tray.   The printer has paper in all trays, but keep taking 8 1/2 x 11 paper rather than photo paper.  I use the default application for the display of pictures (Microsoft Office 2010) and have tried selecting both the 4x6in of the index card. and sizes of 4 x 6/10 x 15 cm.  The end result is the same, an image printed in the middle of the plain paper.  I searched the forums and found that two related threads.  Given that I just install the printer today, I figure there will be newer drivers in the last hour, so I finished downloading "printing HP and Scan doctor."  He finds a "Match of Port issue" and that fixed it, but when I printed another picture, he was still on plain paper.  If I remove the paper and leave only in photo paper, the printer throws a fit and said that it is out of paper.  Any ideas?  I'm not a newbie, but in more than 20 years of use of HP products, this is the first time that I had to fill out a problem for a Board of Directors.  (And with the instant the ink program, it starts to accumulate the number of my printing without a single success.)

    RESOLVED - photo, once you select the printer & paper, you must go into OPTIONS, then the properties of the printer, then go to the paper/quality tab, then the paper Source and select manually the specific bac (bac/Photo main tray).  Sheesh, should we not automatic as soon as you select the paper size?

  • HP C4280 all-in-One will not print photos on any HP photo paper

    HP C4280 all-in-One will not print color or B & W photos on photo paper.  Color and B & W photos on plain paper prints.  It is used to print normally on all documents.  No change, I am aware of cause this malfunction.  Any suggestions?

    Open your printers folder and right-click on the printer and review the printing preferences. Set the media media photo here and in the application you are printing from. When you say that it will not be printed on photographic support what do you mean... the page is white? the quality is bad?
