  • not printed; print head alignment failed

    I bought a printer HP 6700 Premium last summer (2012) and made a montage for use by WiFi connection to my laptop Dell Inspiron 1700.  The printer worked fine for 2 months, he was used before packing away until may 2013.

    To start using again once I got an error message regarding the Set up ink cartridges.  Assuming that the cartridges were parched of non-use, I have bought/installed HP 933 XL (color) and 933XL (black) ink cartridges.  All indications from the printer indicates that the cartridges are installed correctly, and that all are new/full shells.

    The printer continues to not print under the orders of the normal print or with orders queue on the printer for reports such as the 'printer status', 'Print quality', etc.  I also asked 3 times the printer functions "align the print heads", with a message of continuation of the print head alignment failed.  Show based on the "clean printhead" printer (twice) also failed to solve the problem.  When producing a page using above mentioned orders, the paper emerges with images very low (and widely dispersed).

    I'm not a person technically the inclined and would be very grateful if anyone could advise on the potential problems noted, and suggestions for the resolution of it.  Thanks in advance for your response (s).

    Hi Plapen,

    Can you double check your black ink cartridge.  What is a 932 instead of 933 cartridge?

    If it's a 932, can your try to clean the cartridges 2 times more?  Are there changes?  If this does not help, take a look at the following link and try all measures not yet taken.  Click here  Let me know how it goes.

  • The life of ink cartridge and print head alignment failed

    I use an Officejet Pro 8500 A910 and did not have any problems with it until I recently changed the ink two weeks ago.

    I bought HP original on Amazon UK and after four attempts to align the print head (which fails permanently), my ink for all, but the black cartridge high capacity is exhausted.

    I havn't print all pages in full color, black only for the ebay postage labels.

    Hell this printer that consume all my ink in five attempts to alignment?

    HP will reimburse me for the color ink cartridges?

    I solved the problem.

    It cost me less than a new set of cartridges for the HP OfficeJet

  • I have the print head and the alignment of the problems with our officejetpro8500 910 a.

    We noticed that the cyan ink was not printing. The product is out of warranty about five weeks before we noticed a problem. We have replaced all the ink with the new hp ink cartridges. We have tried printhead cleaning several times until the third level cleaning when cleaning the print head has failed. We tried to align the printheads without success. We have been dealing with this during more than a month now. We have only 440 pages printed during our first page of self-test diagnostics. Our print head shows that it is under warranty until April 4,2012. We consulted a repair center. We have exausted all the other options until the replacement printhead. We changed to print in black only. Now, she wants to print a test page everytime we try to print something. Ink, we bought at costco for this printer was a third of the price of a new model of 8600. Please help before my wife beat me with this printer!

    If the printhead says it expires April 3, 2013, so the date of warranty.  You should be able to get a replacement print head by contacting technical support of HP and good news, it should be free, since the part is under warranty.  You can join the 1-800-474-6836 technical support to the United States and the Canada International users click here.  Let me know what happens.

  • How can I remove the printhead on serial printer F4400 clean and replace the print head?

    I have an E error on the printer and when I replaced the black ink, that he stayed like this, I see the print head and I think it should be removed, because it shows the black ink.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 a: replacement of the print head

    No yellow does not print at all, who are considering the purchase of the Black/Yellow Printhead to fix this problem.  Just replaced the yellow w/HP cartridge cartridge.  Printhead cleaning several times, tried the alignment (failed twice).  Printer is relatively old (model CM755A, CN12OBR1JJ series) and warranty expired in 2012.  Should I buy a new printer, or replace the print head will definitely cure the problem?

    Hello

    In most similar cases, the replacement of the print head can work sometimes and sometimes not.

    and given that the printer is a bit old, I'd say for an upgrade.

    I need tool box for old HP printer: HP Officejet Pro K550, for 10-64 bit Windows.
    I need a software tool to clean the print head!

    Hello

    The HP Toolbox software is no longer available for your printer for any later OS such as Windows 7, 8 or 10:

    http://support.HP.com/in-en/document/c03467279

    You can align, clean and calibrate the printhead from the printer itself by using key press combinations.

  • Problem with the HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer: clean the print heads each time it is turned on

    Hello everyone,

    the printer HP all-in-one Officejet Pro 8500 (A909a - product n. CB022A) clean the print heads whenever I turn it on. This problem affects any HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer, it is not a problem only of this one I bought. It is a boring bug and annoying because each power clean print heads on involves two bad disadvantages:

    1. waste of ink (each heads cleaning process consumes little ink);
    2. too much time (2-3 minutes) to prepare the printer after plugging.

    I upgraded my printer with the latest firmware available on the HP site (firmware ver. DLM1FN1006BR), but the bug is still present.

    At this point, I ask:

    1. There is a way (or procedure) to disable automatic cleaning this useless to all power on?
    2. Can we communicate with the HP engineers or tell me how to contact directly one of them to indicate the bug and request a new firmware updated?

    Please don't tell me to leave the printer on all the time or that the printheads to each cleaning power is normal behavior! Where then are power and ink savings claimed for this printer model?

    I hope that a solution to this problem. Thanks in advance to everyone will help me!

    Maintenance when the printer is turned on is normal and is required to keep the printheads in good health (not blocked). See here for more information.

    With respect to energy savings, the printer automatically goes to low power mode when the don't feel not for awhile.  It is not necessary turn the unit on to save energy.

    Thank you for your valuable info and I just did what you suggested:

    flashing.

    After that I inserted all the heads of print with cyan, magenta, yellow crossed

  • Z6200 - printhead status: unknown, impossible to load the print heads.

    Hello

    I am a user of HP DJ 5500 long and just before Christmas, we have invested in a Z6200. Right now, I have a problem that happens with him because he is stuck in a loop trying to replace the printheads.

    I spent some time trying to reinstall the print heads and I tried the suggestion for the Z6100

    Nothing I've tried has been able to clear this loop. Is there a way to do a hard reset, then insert the PH as new? Or is that what makes the above method? Right now, I'm off the printer and the print heads on.

    Any help would be appreciated massively, I had to do this thing up 3 flights of stairs and still have not actually seen print!

    Remove all the ink cartridges and the print head if you don't have it already. Turn on the plotter and you will be asked for supplies, don't know if the ink cartridges and printheads first. When it asks to insert the items one at a time and the blinking icon must return to solid. Maybe your have one or several heads wrong causing the problem. If it rejects a print head print head must be indicated on the display as to which one is causing the problem.
