Printing problem with HP F380 All-in One printer.

My HP F380 All-in One has stopped printing in colour. Don't know if I've accidentally changed a setting but I've unchecked 'Print in grayscale' and no difference.  Can anyone please advise.

Hi there,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP F380 has stopped printing in color, and I am happy to help you with this printing issue!
For further assistance, I will need to know the following:
If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the printer is able to make copies by itself.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
In the meantime, please take a look through this guide. Streaks or Lines in the Printed Image.

  • Ink Cartridge problem with the 7525 all in one printer

    I put all new cartridges in the 7525 all in one printer and it keeps telling me that the cyan cartridge is damaged.  also the ink levels on the new cartridges are not appearing full.  they are all  new HP cartridges.

    The troubleshooting steps in the document here may help resolve the issue with your cyan cartridge on your Photosmart 7525 printer.

  • Power problem with my 4620 all in one printer / scanner / fax

    Hi,
    My problem is this. I have a 4620 all-in-one printer / scanner / fax. However, I have discovered this problem.
    Scenario:
    The printer hasn't been used for a day or two but is plugged in still with the light above the power cord on. I want to print a word doc or whatever. I click print. I obtain a message that the computer (via wifi) can't communicate with the printer. Pressing the Power on button on the printer interface doesn't work.
    My solution, I have to disconnect the power supply from the printer,  then reconnect and then press the Power On button.
    This isn't normal I think. I don't think for one minute that I should have to go and disconnect and reconnect the power suppy for it to print etc.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you in advance!!

  • Wireless printing problem with HP Envy all-in-one 110 when running Mac OS 10.7

    I just bought the HP Envy all-in-one 110. I have a Macbook Air running IS 10.7. I managed to install the software correctly and the wirless network light is showing on the printer. I ran a test page from the printer and all the settings say they are "enabled." But I still can't get the printer to print over the wireless network. When I plugged in a USB cable, I managed to get it to print. I have a wireless router running over the Sonic.net DSL network. Network strength is good. I've switched off and restarted all equipment several times but still no results. Help!

    Hi,
    I believe the router may not support Multicasting, a network protocol used for Apple's Bonjour service to operate as it should.
    Will be helpful to know the exact router brand and model.
    As a workaroung, you may try setting the printer by using standard IP, it should allow you to print, however the router issue (more likely) have to be handled first to allow the full software functionality including scanning.
    Follow the steps below to set an IP print queue, it will also help to better understand the cause for the problem:
    Enter System Preferences > Print & Scan.
    Click the plus sign.
    Click the IP icon.
    Select the HP Jetdirect Socket protocol.
    Enter the printer IP address into the Address field
    Now try printing using the newly created print queue, listed as the printer IP address.

  • Printing issues with HP 310a All in One Printer

    I have a new HP 310a.  Looks good, fast on text printing, but features such as merged envelopes and printing letters on A5 stationery do not print correctly; nor in correct order.  Photos print larger than they actually are and look like they need to be cropped.  Anyone experiencing the same?
    Photo tray has nothing to hold paper in place (except on sides); and when tray enters printer, the photo paper slips backwards and error message "out of paper" appears.
    This is the last time I will buy an HP product

  • Wireless printing from a Deskjet F380 All In One printer

    Is it possible to print from my G72 laptop to my F380 AIO printer without using a cable. I understand a wireless mouse and laptop operate by plugging a device into a desktop's USB port. Is something similar possible by plugging a device into teh printer?
    Thanks for your replies.

    The F380 has no wireless capabilities - so using the usb cable is mandatory if you want to print from your G72.
    If you still want to print wireless
    what you could do is to buy a printserver - so you connect your printer to the printserver and this can work wireless towards your G72.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Print_server
    Another option
    If you want to  get wireless is to get a Wireless printer , were this funcionality is build in.
    an HP wireless printer would be the F4580.
    I work for HP but posts and replies are my own.

  • IPod Touch conflict with HP 6500 All-in-One printer...

    Does anyone know of anyone who has an iPod Touch installed with an HP all-in-one printer and running under Windows 7 64 bit? If so I'd like to hear from them and see if I can pick their brains a bit. In fact, I'd like to hear from anyone who has an iPod Touch working with an HP all-in-one on a desktop system, no matter the OS.
    Originally I tried to get them to work together under a 32 bit Windows 7 Premium build on an MSI G31M3-F V2 mobo but couldn't get the iPod and the All-in-One to work together. Either the iPod wouldn't synch or the printer would disconnect.
    Yesterday I started with a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit build on an Asus P5Q-EM mobo with just the HP 6500 All-in-One and the printer and all of its functions were working perfectly.
    Then I plugged in the iPod, after having installed the newest 64 bit version of iTunes, and it detected the device but wouldn't complete the driver installation. I powered down the HP 6500 and the iPod installation completed.
    I then turned the printer on and it appeared to work but the iPod wouldn't complete the sync process unless I turned the printer off.
    Then I changed the drive letter of the HP all-in-one's integrated card reader from "E:" to "G:" and rebooted and it appeared that everything was working. I brought the scanner up but didn't actually scan anything but, still, no disconnect messages. Finally, success I thought. Silly me...
    Today my daughter tried to send a fax from the computer. It started the scan, stopped after only partially scanning and said that the printer was disconnected.
    She then rebooted and tried to scan a photo and it did essentailly the same thing -- a partial scan, froze, and then reported the printer offline.
    Uninstalling the iPod Touch device resulted in the printer coming back online and all functions working perfectly.
    There is clearly a conflict at the device/driver assignment level and I don't know if its even anything that I can fix.
    This should not be this hard.
    Has anyone any experience with the iPod Touch running on a desktop that also has an HP All-in-One device installed?

    Finally installed a completely new OS and then, before doing anything else, installed iTunes and connected the iPod. Installed everything else with the HP printer being the very last thing.
    Wa La... Worked as advertised...

  • Can anyone help; re: Faxing problems with my 6200 all in one

    Our HP office jet 6210 which we use only for faxing and minor printing intermittenly goes crazy with blinking red and amber lights
    when a fax is being received or when we are sending one.  When the fax fails and we stop the blinking lights, it self tests then turns off.  Sometimes when it does this we get an error message printed that says "Power Failure."  The party being faxed gets 1/2 a fax or 1 page out of 5.  I'll unplug it from the electric and plug it back in and then it will work fine for a day or two.  We have tried faxing from the glass when we have problems and that seems to work when self-feed faing doesn't.  We have not installed any drivers as this is not plugged into a computer but stands alone with it's own designated phone line.
    Any ideas???  The machine is 5 years old and has never given us any trouble until now.  Is it time to upgrade?
    Thanks so very much!!!!
    Joanne

    I have a new photosmart plus printer B209a CD035A and I have never been able to set up the fax, I get a message saying that the phone line is not connected to the modem, the phone is connected to my modem or I would not have an internet connection, perhaps I am not understanding it, I have the printer set up wireless now but it was wired before and I still could not set it up, I purchased it in April this year along with my new desktop Elite HPE-150f model AY603AA,  using windows7 64 bit, now I have a problem with the alignment, all the fonts are cut off down each side which makes it hard to read instructions, can someone give me some help with this. The alignment problem has only just started this past 2 weeks. thanks

  • Print Too Small from Photoshop CS4 with HP 8500 All In One Printer

    I'm running Windows XP with CS4 and latest patches and drivers.  When I print an image to my HP 8500 All in one printer, the printout is too small.  Instead of a centered 4 x 6 image on the page I get a 1 x 1-1/4 inch small print of the image in the upper left hand corner.
    I re-installed CS3 and it works perfectly as do any other print options, such as word, etc.  But from Photoshop CS4 I can find no way to print to this printer without the image shrinking in size.  If I print to another printer at the same sitting, the image is fine.  So it's a PS CS4 vs. HP 8500 unique problem I guess.
    I've see this post in other forms and no help as yet.  Does anyone have this one on their radar.  I really like this printer, but it's quite annoying.
    By the way, If I print to a PDF from PS CS4, the pdf file image is fine.  That's another end around for printing also. HMMMM.
    I did contact HP and they put the problem squarely back on Adobe.  No partnership there.
    Thanks,
    Glen

    Will the printer print from any app?
    I know it sounds like a dumb question, but you didn't actually say...  And I admit to looking for software problems on an occasion or two when I had forgotten to plug in cables.

  • Problem adding HP J6400 all-in-one printer

    We have an HP Officejet J6400 all-in-one printer here at work, and all of our computers have had no problem adding this printer except one: an older iMac, PowerMac 6.1 (with the white domed base). The driver is installed, and the computer sees the driver, but when I click to add it eventually it gives me this error:
    "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer. client-error-not-authorized"
    I was on the phone with HP for an hour and they couldn't figure it out on their end. Has anyone had a similar problem, or have a solution?

  • Printing with HP PSC1210 All in one printer

    Hello all,
    Anyone out there had any luck finding a driver for the HP PSC1210xi all in one printer with Snow Leopard? I had basic printing functionality under Leopard and would just like to have the same under Snow Leopard. As a workaround, I am able to still print and scan just fine using Windows XP running in VMWare Fusion, so, I am not dead in the water. However, I would like to just get basic printing capability restored in Snow Leopard.
    Thanks all.

    OK, so I have some bad news. FIrst, unfortunately the print drivers for the PSC1210 are not available yet. They will be available at some point in the future through an Apple Software Update. Second, since HP never posted a 10.5 driver package for your device, there is nothing for you to download to try to get things at least functioning.
    That being said, you may have some luck with the Gutenprint drivers or others. There isn't a driver specifically for the PSC 1210, but the one for the PSC 1215 may work.
    HP is aware of the problem, and I know I am trying to do everything in my power to solve it as soon as possible.
    Just trying to help.
