PDFs will not print on HP All-In-One C309a

PDF files and only PDF files will not print on my HP Photosmart Premium All-In-One C309a. I can not print PDFs that are online or that are on my hard-drive. I sometimes use the 'print to XPS file utility' and then open and print the XPS file with no problem.
When I try to print a PDF file, the printer makes all the noises it makes when printing normally, but does not print. The viewing winding says "Now Printing", a piece of paper cues up, the audio cue plays meaning job completed and eventually a blank piece of paper comes out.
I am using Windows XP with Service Pack 3.

Is your printer still in warranty? You can check with HP's warranty tool here.
The printheads in the Photosmart 6510 are not removable.  I will ask to have an HP support agent to look in on this thread, they may be able to suggest some further troubleshooting.

  • One document will not print in color - all other docs are printing fine

    I just purchased an All Ine One Officejet Pro 8630. It will not print my proposal forms in color - although invoices and every other document that requires color seems to print just fine. The proposal form is formatted in in old Microsoft Access file.  Not sure that this would make a difference because I have had no problems with printing it in the past with color.  Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you.   

    So when you do print, does it come out in a grey scale with various shades of grey instead of the color or in just solid Black and White format? Also, on the PDF front, you can install either software I mentioned and that will allow you to "Print to a PDF File" and then you can at least view the PDF to see if your printing system from Access is outputing in color or not.  Just a troubleshotting idea.

  • PDF will not print please help

    I am using Win7 64, updated print driver, updated Adobe.  When I try to print a pdf document it will not print unless I restart my computer for each document.  I can print Word documents but not pdfs.

    Please follow the workaround available at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/949886?tstart=30 in order to resolve this issue.
    Thanks,

  • PDF will not print correctly from any app

    I seem to keep on getting the same error everywhere I print on SL (from safari/firefox/preview etc etc)
    It will usually print any lines or logos but miss all text?? I did have the dreaded adobe reader installed but have since removed it?
    I am in urgent need of printing out some manuals for a class so in real trouble, help!

    Where do these PDFs that do not print correctly come from? Are they downloaded from the internet or from email? Or do you create them yourself on your computer? If so, in which program?
    Do some PDF files print correctly, but not others? Did you remove the dreaded Acrobat Reader before this problem developed or after? Did this problem develop only after you ungraded to a certain release of Snow Leopard or has it never worked in SL?
    PDF is wonderful technology, but every so often there can be issues.

  • Graphics-heavy pdfs will not printer to any type of printer.

    They send back an error message as displayed below or they do not prints. This happens in both Mavericks and Yosemite, for both Preview and Adobe Reader, our organization's primary pdf Readers. It only seems to apply to the .pdf or similar formats, as when a screenshot is taken of the individual pages, those items are able to print.

    The current workaround is based on the notion that the printers are having trouble with pdfs, and not images
    "It only seems to apply to the .pdf or similar formats, as when a screenshot is taken of the individual pages, those items are able to print."
    Adobe Reader allows us to convert the pdf to print as an image format:
    Open your pdf in Adobe Reader
    File Print
    Click Advanced, next to the printer name
    In the Advanced Print Menu, check the box to Print as Image
    Click Ok and then Print, the Document should print at this point

  • My Macbook with 10.6.8 is having trouble with certain applications- Word will not open, and text edit or pdf will not print.

    My Macbook (13 inch 2008) running OS 10.6.8 is having trouble with some applications.  Word will not even open.  I cannot print from text edit or Preview or Adobe.  Excel sometimes opens but very slow.  What could be wrong?  I have repaired permissions, used an antivirus program, deleted some old MS fonts, and still no change.  I have 1 G RAM and there seems to be plenty available and I have 50 G of hard drive space empty.

    Well, first 1gb of Ram is not plenty. It's the absolute bare minimum just to run OS X 10.6.8. The MS Office applications are ram hogs also. I would recommend three things.
    1. Get more ram.
    2. Reinstall and update your MS Office applications.
    3. Reinstall Snow Leopard.
    If you're not familiar with Activity Monitor you might have a look at this link and you'll be able to judge your ram situation a little better.

  • Fillable PDF will not print information added by user

    Any suggestions on how to get a fillable PDF form which was created by me and filled in by someone else to print their added information?  I can see their information on screen, but only the original form is printing.  The form was created with Acrobat Pro X (v10.1.4).

    Did you create the form?
    Can you print the form and fields on your system?
    Did you make the fields "display but do not print"?

  • PDF will not print

    After I fill in the PDF On my iPad2, when I email it or print it, the document is void of the filled in information. help!

    What are you using to view/print the document when you receive it? This thread describes some of the reasons that fields may appear (or print) blank:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4483019#4483019
    The most common reason is reason (2) described in that thread, that you are viewing the PDF in viewer that does not support viewing form data (like the iOS mail application).
    Also note that AirPrint does not support printing form data, so printing the form from the Adobe Reader on iOS will print blank fields as well.

  • PDF will not print editable text fields

    When I fill out a PDF form with editable fields, the text shows up fine on the computer screen but when I print, the text is gone.

  • .pdf I opened on my Mac Air, Lion OS will not print

    Sometimes a .pdf will not print on any of my reliable printers.  The entire sheet remains white with no print at all.  I can't figure our why.  Any ideas?

    Hi TeresaMM, 
    Sorry to hear you are experiencing issues with the printer. I would like to help, can you describe for me what the printer is or is not doing. It sounds to me like it is not turning on but I could have misunderstood.
    You said you are using the printer with 3 Mac computers so I believe it is setup wireless, please confirm. When you say it doesn't work again, I wonder, do you get an error message on the computer you are printing from, or on the front screen of the printer, maybe blinking lights?
    Please elaborate on your description so that I can help identify the root cause and provide you with a solution.
    Looking forward to hearing from you.

  • HP 3520 will not print in black

    I replaced the HP black ink cartridge with a new one and now it will not print black at all on my HP3520 Deskjet.
    The color cartridges are printing okay.
    I followed suggestions from your web site and did multiple cleanings of the printhead.  The air vents are clear on top also.
    I believe the printer is out of warranty.  I see a lot of other people have the same problem with the black ink.
    Any suggestions?
    Carvcom

    Hi carvcom,
    I saw that you were having a black ink out issue with your Deskjet 3520 and wanted to see if that problem had been resolved!
    I just want to make sure that you've covered all of the steps within this Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages document.
    If you have and the problem persists it would be time for you to call in to HP Tech Support and inquire about a product replacement, regardless of your warranty status.
    Let me know if you're able to get the issue resolved via Tech Support

  • Will not print black ink after installing new HP cartridge

    HP Officejet 4620, Windows 7....installed new HP black ink cartridge and now it will not print black at all. I followed all online tips in the help section, even cleaned the vents on the cartridge itself but only prints blank page. No error messages are shown. Diagnostics ran and says all is working correctly. Also cleaned printheads through 2 cycles still nothing. Any other suggestions? It was working just fine before inserting new black cartridge.
    This question was solved.

    I just spent  1 1/2 hours on the phone with HP Tech Support but it was worth it.  They are sending a replacement printer no charge to me (expect I chose to pay extra for next day shipping).  Even though my printer is out of warranty!!!  I normally buy HP products anyway but will definintely stay with this brand based on their excellent customer service and support.  Thank you once again for your initial help online and for directing me on the right path!!!

  • My Photosmart C6280 will not print in color.

    My Photosmart C6280 will not print in color.All ink levels are good. Factory defaults clicked. Did I override something without realizing it? I don't see anywhere to click for grayscale. I am using an APPLE AIR....I have also turned the printer off and on again..

    Hi there @Ashley31 , welcome to the forums
    I read about how you cannot print or copy in color. Not copying in color is concerning, as the copy is a stand alone function that does not involve the computer in any way.
    I'd suggest power resetting the printer:
    Press the Power button to turn on the product.
    With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
    If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
    You can also remove the ink cartridges and reinsert them and try a color copy again to see if that helps.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you, such as a replacement or trade in. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and if you are calling outside of the US/Canada region,: click here.
