10.4.11 and HP F4280 Printer Failure

PLEASE HELP!
I just had my Powermac 10.3.9 upgraded to a 10.4.11 and my HP F4280 printer won't print now as it used to. It shows that it's printing but nothing happens. It also displays that the documents "were" printed, even though they weren't. I tried to re-install the HP 4300 series software but this didn't help whatsoever. One thing I did notice is that the printer icon that shows up on my dock while printing looks nothing like my printer. Before we upgraded the computer, the icon looked identical. Is the computer selecting a printer that I don't have? This would explain why it "thinks" the documents were printed... But if that were the case, these documents wouldn't be on the same list as the ones that were printed before we upgraded the computer, right? And they are on the same list. Still it's odd that the icon looks different than it used to look and nothing like my printer as it used to. Scanning works by the way. It also displays my ink levels - so it's not a connection problem. It's driving me nuts! Please help!

Hi slice4444, and a warm welcome to the forums!
In Printer setup Utility, remove the instance of thatPrinter with the little - icon.
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go.
Try adding the Printer again. If that doesn't work...

  • Hp officejet 6700 premium printer-printer failure

    I bought a HP officejet 6700 premium a month ago.  I installed the printer and it printed ok.  But after a few day of use, it suddenly stopped printing and gave a Printer Failure massage on the front control panel.  The message says: There is a problem with the printer or ink system.  Turn printer off then on.  If problem persists, contact HP.  I have checked all ink cartridges.  They seem all ok (I have only print less than 10 pages since installed). I have turned power off and on several times but did'nt work.   I have searched all over the HP website for help, but still can't find a solution for my printer problem.   I deeply appreciate, if someone can help me or give me directions to make my new printer works again.  Thanks.
    P.S.  my laptop computer has Winders 7.

    Did you get an answer? I think the problem lies with the blue print head with the gold pins, they get bent when you change out printer cartridges. Several folks have had this problem. I watched a youtube video of repairman saying both the 6600 and 6700 printer had this problem until HP changed the print heads. I am still fussing with HP about this but I am pretty certain I won't get any relief. Good luck

  • Photosmart 7510 e all in one series Printer failure Oxc19a0023

    After having been turned off for several months, I plugged in my 7510e and the following message came on the screen.
    Printer failure, Oxc19a0023, Please turn printer off then on. I did this with no change. I unplugged both electric plus and USB and reconnected. I removed the cartridges and replaced but the same message keeps coming and I cannot get passed this message. If anyone has had this problem and has been able to fix this or if anyone know how to fix this I would really appreciate some help. Thank you.

    Hello @TSLI76 , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you are experiencing 0x errors.  I would like to help!
    I would recommend removing the ink cartridges, and performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would also recommend this document on An 'Ink System Failure' or a '0x ...' Error Message Displays on the HP Printer Control Panel.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Error Message: "Printer Failure" Problem with print or ink system . . .

    Greetings!
    I wasn't exactly sure where to post this, but the error message refers to printer or ink system failure so I thought this was a good place. I've been troubleshooting my parents HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 AiO for the last 2 or 3 hours with little success. I've contacted HP tech support but they wanted $200 for the work to be done and neither I nor my parents, who are retired and on a fixed income, have the money to spare.
    The tech support people said it was probably a problem with the drivers, so I attempted to reinstall the software, but that didn't help at all. A brief description of the problem might shed some light on this awful situation. Since this morning, my father tried to print something and the printer itself gave the following error message on the front LCD panel on the device itself (ie, not on Windows, but on the printer's display):
        "Printer Failure
         There is a problem with the printer or ink system. Turn it off, then on. If the problem persists, contact HP."
    Obviously my first course of action was to follow the directions. I turned it off, unplugged the cord, waited approx. 30 seconds, replugged it in and turned it back on. Nothing changed. I've also tried removing and replacing the Ink cartridges, checking the tray for a paper jam or shortage and performing a rain dance in the hopes of attracting the gods' attention xP. In short, I'm at my wits end and don't know where to go from here.
    I'm unable to access the device's LCD display control panel, which controls the printer, as the error message cannot be closed. I've tried restarting the PC as well, and a lot of other basic deductive troubleshooting procedures to no avail (forgive my overuse of cliches).
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much in advance. I wish you all a great day, and may the god of printing protect you from the same situation. I can assure you it's most unpleasant.
    Regards, Sean (frosztbyte)
    P.S. I'm not sure what other information might be needed in order to help me, but ask and you shall receive any I can find.

    Hi frosztbyte,
    I understand your parents have an OfficeJet Pro 8600 that is saying it has a printer failure, that you have thus far not been able to clear, despite your best effort and a rain dance (at least I know who to blame for the rain now ). I would be happy to help you as best I can!
    The first thing I'd suggest you do is plug the printer directly to a wall outlet if it isn't already plugged to one, just to ensure the printer is getting all the power it needs to function properly. If that doesn't seem to change anything though, please have a look through this A 'Printer Failure' Message That Might Include an '0x610000f6' or '0x61xxxxxx' Error Code Displays o... document (it was steps for the same error without an error code as well) and hopefully it can help resolve the issue.
    If the issue persists after trying the wall outlet and that document I would advise you try call HP again. I believe the number you called previously may have not have been HP, but another company. If you're in North America just call 1-800-474-6836, and if you're anywhere else have a look at this Contact HP Worldwide page to see what number to call for your area.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!!

  • 8.2.4 Acrobat update cause print failure

    Once 8.2.4 update installed on Vista Enterprise PDF printing no longer works.   All applications error out.  Ran the Adobe fix command and rebooted.  Printing still fails.
    Is there an easy way to roll back to the previous version? 
    Are there any plans by Adobe to quickly release another patch? 
    Any other ideas on how to correct?

  • Hp photosmart C7280 says "stopped" in print queue and won't print!

    I just bought an hp photosmart C7280 today. It was a pretty simple setup with the actual printer and network and all. i download the updated driver from the hp website and all seemed kosher there too. now i click "print" and on the print queue page it says "stopped" and won't print!
    ahhh please help? is this a good printer with macs anyways? it seemed kinda loud during the setup...

    I too have gone through most of the problems described here but have finally been able to get the c7280 working properly, yet I'm still not very happy with the solution.
    For connectivity reasons, I wanted to connect the aio to my network via ethernet cable directly to my router. While my computers will access the network wirelessly, I wanted the printer to have a solid connection. Unfortunately, I was never (and still can't) get it to work properly using this connection. What finally did work was using the wireless connection in the printer to connect to the network.
    Why this would work wirelessly and not while directly connected is something no one has been able to explain. I still have the printer right next to my wireless router to interference doesn't seem to be a problem and it seems fast enough, but the fact that I can't get it working properly with a "less technically challenged" method, really bothers me. What if I didn't have a wireless network? While wireless is great, if there was an easy solution to have all my desktops connected via ethernet, I'd prefer it (easy being not having a bunch a cables around and perhaps a pre-wired network in my home!)
    Anyway, I hope everyone who has this machine gets the problem worked out. Unfortunately, knowing what I know now, I don't think I would buy this one again unless the software was rock solid. Physically the unit works well, but is a little loud I admit and went through my black cartridge pretty fast even though I used in saving settings such as fast draft, etc.
    Just as a side note, the HP support guy in Canada was fairly annoying. When we still couldn't get it working properly via ethernet, he insisted it must be a problem with Apple or a conflict with a program I have installed, etc,etc. and told me that every one of his customers that has Leopard also has this unit working 100% properly. I politely told him he needs to add me as his first failure!
    OK, enough rant. Try connecting wirelessly and see if that works. I would uninstall the current printers as suggested, but also clear out the printer cache. Do this by right clicking in the add a printer box area and choose reset printing system. If all else fails and you upgraded to Leopard from Tiger, then......gulp...... uninstall Leopard and revert back to Tiger. Under Tiger, both my macs worked perfectly connected via ethernet printer connection. Good luck.

  • My HP Deskjet F4280 printer won't work with my new HP 2000 laptop w/ windows 8.1

    I have a HP Deskjet F4280 printer. I recently bought a HP 2000 laptop. I put the printers install disk in the laptop to set up my printer but it says windows 8 doesn't support that printer! It also does say that windows 2000, XP, Vista are supported on the disk for the printer...help! Is there a work around?

    Hey Alyssa426,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    Since the installation disk does not support Windows 8.1, I would suggest trying to download, and install the drivers directly from the HP Support website. I have included a link to the 'HP Deskjet F4200/F4224 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver'. Once the software is downloaded, open the software, and follow through the on screen instructions for installation.
    Please let me know the outcome of installing the software.
    Thank you.

  • HP Deskjet F4280 prints blank pages on Macbook

    Hello,
    My printer came with a macbook I bought in 2008 and worked wonderfully for years. Out of nowhere it stopped printing or making copies. The printer acts like it is doing the action but the pages come out blank or with spotty black marks where text should have appeared. I have a newer macbook now that runs OS X 10.10 and the printer shows up under my USB and in the printer & scanners. I'd appreciate any ideas on what to try. Thanks.

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @brookshd 
    I read your post about your Deskjet F4280 showing some print quality problems when making print outs or copies. The spotty black marks could be a sign of a printhead problem.
    Please try these steps to see if the issue can be resolved: Faded, Missing, or Dull Colors in Printouts
    If the troubleshooting does not help at all, I would lastly suggest technical support.

  • Printer failure after self-test .Deskjet 3650

    hp deskjet 3650 printer failure. This happened after running a self-test to check ink level. Oddly, the test report printed out OK. I used the "lift cover 4 times" method to do the test

    I have the same problem, starting 2 weeks ago.
    I tried the suggestions at http://www.hp.com/support.
    None of them worked.
    Their advice in this case is: The product needs service.
    Following this link, they checked my serial number and found that the printer was out of warranty.
    They then displayed the message: The following services are available to you. Please choose ONE of the following:
    You guessed it - there were no services available to me!
    So what I am hoping is that someone can tell us how to fix it ourselves.
