8500a printhead cleaning doesn't help, test pages get worse and worse

Tried to print a photo and it came out looking like one of my ink cartridges might be empty. Checked the levels and all are good. Ran the printhead cleaning process through all three levels and the result pages got worse and worse. Tried again and now the test pages are almost blank. Pulled all the ink cartridges and gave them a shake to verify contents. Yep, they have ink. Pulled the two printheads and gave them a wiggle before reinserting them.  Test pages have black and magenta blocks, very faint, with gaps. Cyan and yellow blocks don't show up at all. Any help appreciated.

I am having the same exact problem. Two years and the cost of repair will exceed the cost of a new printer. My next choice will not be HP!

  • Premiere Pro CC2014 Crashes, won't update (U44M1P7), cleaner doesn't help, says projects are from newer version

    Hi,
    Premiere Pro CC2014 (win 8.1) has stopped working for me. I tried to update yesterday but that failed. Nevertheless, I could still work in PP.
    Today when opening any project (I worked on them yesterday) I get this:
    Premiere Pro Debug Event
    Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
    [c:\cloudroom\releases\2014.09\shared\mediacore\mediafoundation\api\in (<-at this point the edge of the dialog box is reached)
    Then I get a 'Premiere Pro has encountered a serious error'-message end it's game over.
    Restarting doesn't help, this keeps on happening.
    So, I tried to update again; update still fails
    Uninstalled PP CC2014
    Used Adobe Cleaner Tool
    Reinstalled PP CC2014, I now get a message:
    Installation succeeded, but a patch failed
    Errors encountered during installation. (U44M1P7)
    Start up PP CC2014, try to open a project I worked on yesterday and get a message that it can't open this because it was created with a newer version.
    So, I am screwed. I need a solution asap, as in NOW.
    I have deadlines to make.

  • Help with Pages, Word transition, and EndNote - please.

    In trying to transition to Pages from Word, I have encountered several problems. I would be ever so appreciative if people could advise on solutions:
    1. The autocorrect function does not support formatted text. Is this correct?
    2. I don't seem to be to change the default font from Helvetica to Times Roman? Is this correct?
    3. There doesn't seem to an auto-save function where Pages can be set automatically backup at predetermined intervals.
    4. Embedded Endnote citations do not seem to reflect changes in the Endnote Library - e.g a spelling correction.
    5. The Endnote menu doesn't have a page reference number adjacent to 'prefix' and 'suffix' with the edit citation function. The suffix box can be used for page numbers but it means inserting a space before the numeric entry. These would then need to be removed at a later date. Is there a work around on this?
    6. There doesn't seem to be anyway to import Word documents with embedded Endnote citations - ie. keeping the citations 'live'. This causes two problems.
    a) It would mean redoing entire documents, which is concerning.
    b) It would also imply that there would be problems if the document was exported from Pages to Word for another user and then reimported in Pages.
    7. There doesn't seem to be anyway to set the spell-check and grammar functions for personal style or technical level.
    If anyone can offer advice or solutions to any of the above problems, I would very grateful.

    Are you saying the formatting is lost or that it won't correct formatted text? Because neither is true to my knowledge.
    2. I don't seem to be to change the default font from Helvetica to Times Roman? Is this correct?
    The font is whatever was set in the template you start with. So create a template to your liking.
    3. There doesn't seem to an auto-save function where Pages can be set automatically backup at predetermined intervals.
    Pages does not have auto-save, nor needed it in my experience. Use the freeware EverSave, which will do the job for *all applications*.
    4. Embedded Endnote citations do not seem to reflect changes in the Endnote Library - e.g a spelling correction.
    5. The Endnote menu doesn't have a page reference number adjacent to 'prefix' and 'suffix' with the edit citation function. The suffix box can be used for page numbers but it means inserting a space before the numeric entry. These would then need to be removed at a later date. Is there a work around on this?

    I don't use Endnote so can't comment.
    7. There doesn't seem to be anyway to set the spell-check and grammar functions for personal style or technical level.
    There is a personal dictionary to which you can add your own spellcheck words, but nothing beyond that to my knowledge.
    Download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu and see what you can find for further information. Best of luck.

  • Please Help me  on get Attribute and getParameter

    Dear All Developer clear my doubt on get Attribute and getParameter . and which is more better.
    I will be very much graetful to all.

    They are two different things.
    To put it in an application perspective
    Parameters are like command line parameters
    Attributes are like the variables in your program
    Parameters are the name-value pairs that get submitted as part of a ServletRequest.
    They are either part of the URL, or submitted from a form.
    It is always a string.
    ie myWebpage.jsp?name=evnafets&job=programmer
    has the parameters
    name = evnafets
    job = programmer
    You access it like : request.getParameter("name")
    You can read parameters, you cannot modify them directly.
    Attributes, are java objects
    You can get and set them eg request.getAttribute("name") request.setAttribute("name", "raj");
    you use session attributes to retain state across multiple requests
    you use request attributes to set a variable and then forward to another page that uses that variable.
    They are essentially like variables for your web application.
    Hope this makes sense,
    evnafets

  • DBUS doesn't start - Could not get UID and GID for username

    Hi.
    Today i installed Archlinux in other of my systems, but i have a problem. I installed the last dbus (dbus 1.4.16-1) and i putted it in my rc.conf:
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng @network crond dbus alsa)
    but it doesn't start.
    The error is:
    Thu Apr 5 23:03:36 2012: :: Starting D-BUS system messagebus [BUSY] Failed to start message bus: Could not get UID and GID for username "dbus"
    Thu Apr 5 23:03:36 2012: [FAIL]
    So, i don't know what happen. In my other systems, i don't have any problem, only with this fresh install.
    Googling i found this solution from Chakra's wiki:
    Could not get UID and GID
    If you get the following error while starting DBUS:
    Failed to start message bus: Could not get UID and GID for username "dbus"
    then add the user like so:
    # groupadd -g 81 dbus
    # useradd -c 'System message bus' -u 81 -g dbus -d '/' -s /bin/false dbus
    If i do this, can i funk my system?
    Edit:
    That solution works well. I don't kown if in the future maybe i'll have some problem.
    Should i mark this post like "Solved"? Still i don't know what was the real problem.

  • Sync not working for two days. Cleaning doesn't help.

    At first it was showing:
    "Sync encountered and error while syncing: Unknown error"
    Today it shows:
    "Sync encountered and error while syncing: Server incorrectly configured."
    Same on all computers I have synced. Tried cleaning out everything, same problem.
    Yes, I have updated sync to new one. And yes I have updated firefox. Versions 32.0.3
    I think problem started approximately after firefox update.

    Hi Nagarjuna
    The flex UI for SuPM is sturctured within the SUPM Portal packages OPMFNDUI and ANASUSTUI,so please re check whether you have installed the correct SuPM portal packages from service marketplace.
    Since I see some webservice related message in the log please re check the following post installation step in the installation guide :

    The link in your post is not leading anywhere. You are in good hands there with  @CherylG and @erico and @lasvegaswireman. 
    I will just echo that you did not get recovery disks with your PC....no PC maker provides them in the box any more. When the laptop is new you are prompted to make recovery disks but most people do not do that. You can download a disk image of your licensed Windows 7 version from which you can burn a DVD and then fill in the drivers as mentioned on your other post. Let me know if you need a link for the download. But frankly it is worth getting the recovery disks from HP. I would not buy them from eBay and I buy lots of stuff from eBay....too much chance you will get the wrong ones. 

  • I like to start my morning by looking at my email first thing in the morning  it helps my brain get jumpstarted and gives me a jump on the events of the day.I keep my iPhone encased in an Otter Box. Will this help protect it from steam when I take shower?

    I like to start my morning by reading my emails that came in during the night. This jumpstarts my brain and gives me an edge on the events of the day. Since my wife is still asleep when I get up I do this in the bathroom while I'm getting ready. I keep my iPhone 4 encased in an Otter Box case. Will this protect the phone from steam damage or should I thow it in a drawer while I take a short shower?

    TMI dude.
    You should be asking this to Otterbox but I'm guessing it depends on the specific Otterbox case... check the case specs at Otterbox.
    IMO, I would just leave it outside the bathroom... I'm sure your email can wait a few extra minutes.

  • Help with Zebra Label Printer and Multi Order Shipping Tool- Partial Label Printing

    I have a zebra gx420d which is compatible the zebra 2844 (its the new model) and I am having a hard time printing labels with the multi order shipping tool. I have the correct driver, the printer test page works fine, and everything is configured for a 4x6 label.
    I have set the selling preferences in paypal to match the zebra 2844 printer and within the mult order tool, I have edited the settings to also match zebra 2844.
    My problem is that regardless of what or how I do it, my printer will only print a 1/4 of the label. It is not shrinking the label, it is starting to print at the correct size but stops 1/4 of the way through. Almost like it thinks my label size is too small but as i mentioned, I confirmed 4x6 on the label settings at both printer properties and printer preferences. I spent and hour on tech support with zebra and they confirmed the printer is working as it is supposed to. I also know this because my Amazon labels print correctly as well. Its only paypal and ebay labels that are not working. Very frustrating.  Can anyone help?

  • How to keep user enter value in textbox even if JSP page get refreshed.

    Hi Experts,
    In My JSP Page i have one text(customer Name) and number of checkboxes and radio buttons.
    My Problem is:
    if user enter some value in Text Box and after that user clicks on some radio button becouse of some action on radio button page get refresh and also the value enter by user in text box get vanish.
    I want keep text box value as it is even if page get refreshed becouse of some action.
    Is it any setting in Strust framework for this.
    I am using Struts Framework.
    Please let me know if need more information

    Sorry, I don't clearly understand the question and the horrible code (Java code doesn't belong in JSPs) doesn't make it more easy to understand.
    Best what I can guess is that you need to learn about passing request parameters/attributes in JSP and the possibilty of storing attributes in the session. And based on the code, also learn how to separate the data, business and presentation layers properly.

  • JSP pages get cached

    I have a jsp application where on some computers the pages get cached and on some they don't. For example, when you click on a button that takes you to the next set of records
    1.     First time the request gets to the oc4j server, some code is executed and page number 2 is displayed
    2.     Every following click on the same button causes the page number 2 to be displayed. Request never gets to the oc4j server.
    It looks like the page is cached somewhere.
    It happens on some computers and on some it doesn't. To me it seems that it depends on the browser settings but I can't find any difference between the computers where it works fine and those where it doesn't.

    Deepak's suggestion is the solution on the server side and should be the right solution if your jsp should not be cached.
    On the client side, have you checked the caching setting of your browser? In IE, go to "Internet Options" --&gt; "Temporary Internet files" --&gt; "Settings...". This might solve your initial question.

  • OfficejetPro 8000 won't stop cleaning, printing test pages

    Every time just after we print, our Officejet Pro 8000 A809 prints a test page, then starts cleaning and nothing can be printed again for several minutes. The test page can be canceled, but not the cleaning cycle. If we add several documents to the print queue quickly, it will print those documents, but always the test page and cleaning cycle afterwards. The cleaning cycle seems to be using a lot of ink. The page it's printing has CMYK stripes down each side and bars running down the middle, some slanted.
    I've tried resetting the printer by unplugging it, the queue doesn't show any errors, and neither does the HP "Solution" Center.
    Thanks for any help.

    Just a quick update as HP seem completely incapable of answering threads here, offering advice (tried their woeful helpline which just reiterated advice I'd already read in the manual), or helping their customers at all. I've returned the printer to the supplier, as it was completely intolerable, after 3 days of its cleaning process (twice taking over 15 minutes) it refused to print half the colours, and after yet more cleaning it exhausted the inks – it I hadn't paid for the device, I'd have laughed... To market and sell this device as a small workgroup printer is ridiculous, it doesn't even properly function as a printer at all. We've been purchasing HP devices since the 550C way back in the early 1990s, but will never purchase a printer from HP again. Slowly but surely the devices have become cheaper, poorly built, with the focus on tiny ink cartridges to fleece the customer. I'm absolutely disgusted with the lack of assistance, support, let alone the truly abysmal device which is/was the 8000.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page.

    HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page.  I continually get a message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.   Not only will it not print docs, it will not print web pages using IE 11 or Google Chrome.
    I've used Print and Scan Doctor, it always reports there are no issues and prints a test page even though I can't print anything else. 
    Each time I want to print, I must reboot the computer.  After reboot I have one chance to print.   This problem started February 15, 2015.  
    My operating system is Windows 8.1.   I have unintalled the HP software, rebooted, then reinstalled the software:
    OJ8500_A910_1315-1.exe
    HP Print and Scan Doctor - HPPSdr.exe
    HPSupportSolutionsFramework-11.51.0049.msi
    All versions were last downloaded on April 4, 2015.
    I have a home wireless network (Ubee DDW366 router).  All other devices in the house will print to the 8500A printer without issues:  2 Toshiba laptops, 2 Android phones, and 1FireHD.
    The desk top is installed with a Netgear Network card I don't know the model, but I had it tested by a PC Tech to confirm that the card is working.   The card and Windows 8.1 were installed on January 3, 2015.
    I have run virus scans and malware scans.  Each time they show there are no issues with my desktop.  What kind of desktop? Specifically made to my specs from store parts. . . no brand name computer.  ASUS Motherboard P6X580 Premium.  Now I will probably get hacked!
    I am at my wits end.  And it is frustrating when I need to make a print of something and the system locks up.  I often resort to screen printing to a word document to save in order to reboot. . . .but then I lose all sorts of capabilites when I salvage what I needed.  Also this is a time consumer.
    This printer has served us well for two years and I have expensive cartridges waiting; another two rounds of refills.
    Help?
    Addendum:  I can scan using HP Printer Assistance.  I open the HP Printer assistant, it "retrieves" info from the printer, then I select "scan a document or photo" and the printer responds.   I have no trouble with scanning.
