C410a PhotoSmart Printer All Of A Sudden Prints Photos With Reddish Hue

Have not been able to get a definitive solution for this problem. Print cartridges are new and full, print heads aligned and clean. Test printouts are perfect. All non-photo related color printing is great. Only photos are printing with a soft reddish hue to them. Photos printed in normal settings on normal everyday copy paper look pretty close to the monitor, but everything goes reddish when using photo settings "best" or "maximum dpi" on the 4x6 glossy photo paper or the 8.5x11 matte finish paper.
This must be the mystery of the ages because I have never seen any solutions offered beyond the usual cartridge tool management stuff. This is definitely something else that may have changed with the W7 upgrade or Nero upgrade.

I've heard of people having a similar type of problem when printing photos from Photoshop, and in both cases it ended up being a problem with their Photoshop settings, and not the printer itself.

Hp - photosmart e-all-in-one wireless printer cn731a- nothing prints??

HP - Photosmart e-All-in-One Wireless Printer (CN731A)
Went through setup on Windows 7 64-bit, printed the test photo, came out great. Thought everything was good to go. Later, when trying to print a document, it wouldn't print. Computer popped up a message saying "Successfully printed" but when I went to the printer, there was nothing there. I tried running a wireless network test on the printer's screen, and once that page printed with the results, immediately after that, the document I was trying to get finally printed. This was an early Christmas gift for my parents, & my mom just informed me that she tried to print again today, but nothing happened on the printer. I am out of town now and am not able to troubleshoot on my own on the printer like I did a couple days ago so came here for advice.. Any idea what the issue might be? Did I maybe miss a step after doing the test print of the photo? Any ideas would be appreciated!

Hello,
Try the below steps ..
While the printer is ON, Unplug the power cord from back of the printer.
Disconnect all the cables that are connected to the printer.
Wait for 30 seconds.
Plug in only the Power Cord. ( Printer would Power on ).
Try making a standalone Color copy of a document . If it fails to print a copy, then it could either be an issue with the Ink cartridges or the Printer .

After using my macbook for 2 years with same printer,all of a sudden I can't print a page doc even though printer is working and I can print from I/Mail, etc.Anybody had this happen and have a possible answer?

After using my MacBook Pro and pages for 2 years with the same printer, all of a sudden I can't print a pages doc even though the printer works and I can print from I/Mail, etc. Anyone have a possible answer?

Often printing problems are a sign of corrupt preferences. Go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences, delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist file & then restart Pages.

D110A says pause all of a sudden. Using with my mac mini.

Don't know how to get it to work again. Thanks so much for any help.

Hey @Mybabes67 ,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that your HP Photosmart e-All-in-One D110a Printer is showing as 'offline' on your Mac OS X 10.10 computer and fails to respond for you. I would like to work with you today with resolving this issue. Now on the Mac OS X 10.10 Operating System HP actually doesn't have a downloadable Full Feature Software and Driver download available for your model of printer. Therefore, we are reyling on the Apple Updates in order to load the driver functionality for your HP Photosmart. Can I please have you follow the steps below to get your HP printer up and running again for you.
Step 1: Uninstall Drivers:
To start, please click here to access the steps on how to properly uninstall the Software and Driver Package for your printer. Once the website opens select the dropdown for 'Mac OS X v10.6, OS X v10.7, OS X v10.8, and OS X v10.9' as the steps are the same for your Mac OS X 10.10 Operating System. Please follow the steps on Resetting the Print System (Method one) and Uninstalling the Printer Software (Method Two). Once the reset and uninstall have completed successfully, please proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Verify and Repair your Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Open Macintosh HD and go to Applications
Go to the Utilities Folder
Open the Disk Utility
Select the Hard Drive volume you are using (usually on the left)
Select Verify Disk Permissions
Once that process is done, select Repair Disk Permissions
Step 3: Check for Apple Updates:
Go to Apple
Select System Preferences
Select Software Update
Click Update Now
Install your available updates
Restart your computer
Step 4: Manually Load HP Driver Package:
Please click here to access the Apple page for the HP Printer Drivers v3.0 package. Select the Download button when the website opens. Follow any onscreen prompts to complete the installation of the driver package.
Once the driver package has been loaded successfully, please proceed to the next step.
Step 5: Add The Printer:
1. Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences.
2. Click Print & Scan, and then check if the name of your printer displays in the Printers list.
3. Do the following, depending on if the printer is listed or not:
If your printer is listed, remove and re-add the printer to confirm communication with the Mac. Click the name of your printer, click the minus sign (), and then delete the printer. Once the printer is removed, click the plus sign (), click Add Printer or Scanner, click the name of your printer
If your printer is not listed, click the plus sign (), click Add Printer or Scanner, click the name of your printer
4. Click the Use or Print Using box, and then select the name of your printer in the pop-up menu. Ensure that you select the HP Photosmart driver and not the Apple AirPrint driver.
5. Click Add to add the bonjour printer to the list.
6. Close Print & Scan
Now that your printer is successfully added in, please try to print again to verify that your printer issue has been resolved.

All of a sudden 1000 photos have suddenly appeared on my Iphone and I can't delete them and can't find them in my stream either.

All of a sudden 1000 photos have suddenly appeared on my Iphone that came from my own computer and I can't delete them.

You'll have to deselect the photos in the photo pane in iTunes on your computer and then sync the phone again, this will delete photos that have not been taken with the phone but synced from the computer.

HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one problem printing. Ink System Failure has failed unable to copy--

I'm having a problem printing on my HP Photosmart C7280 All-In-One. The following message is what came up on the printer screen: Ink System Failure has failed unable to copy, receive faxes or print. Refer to printer documentation Error O.cl9a0007.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hey Spider! First off welcome to the forum.
I would recommend removing all the ink cartridges, unplugging the USB cable from the computer that connects to the printer, and then shutting the printer off completely by removing the power cord. Then restart your computer. Turn the printer back on but leave it disconnected from the computer. After it has finished its power on cycle go ahead and insert the ink cartridges back into the printer and be sure to seat them properly.
After you have all the cartridges back in the printer properly then connect it to the computer. See if this resolves the issue. If not post back with any findings.
Thanks,
SeanS

Why can't I print all of a sudden? - Can you suggest?

I have networked a printer through my new airport extreme.
Everything "had" worked fine. I was able to print wirelessly with my Macbook and a hardwired PC. It has been several weeks since I've tried printing.....and it won't work? I have no idea what happened!
The PC just stops and says printing error. The Macbook gets to 29% in print status and just sits there...?????
Can anyone please give me some suggestions on what to check? I would think it's not a computer problem since two computers are having trouble. Is there some type reset function to try?
Thank you!

I got it working, but I don't believe I can explain how! Unplugged things a few times. Was able to print a simple word doc, but it took about 3 minutes!! Even though I had a full signal and a green light, I wasn't able to get on the internet either.
All of a sudden the internet worked and I was able to print a page much faster>>???
Don't understand what was going on, but it works now.
Thank you!

HP Photosmart e-all-in-one NOT PRINTING for MAC 10.9.2

Hi,
I have a HP Photosmart e-all-in-one wireless that I have been using for my Apple devices (Mac, iphone, ipad) for years and recently it started giving me problems.
First month or so ago, out of nothing the MacBookPro would not see the printer connected, in dispite of been connected to the network. During that time I was able to find it connected from my iphone & ipad. Then I was using to print from these last two.
Now, not even from my iphone & ipad. It seems that printer does not exist at all, coz it always says "printer not connected" on the MacBook and "No AirPrint Printers Found" on the ipad & iphone.
I've noticed that on HP website, the most updated version of the Mac is 10.9 and my devices has 10.9.2 Is this the problem? If so, how can I get by and continue to use the printer? I need to print ASAP.
Thanks,
eb

HP Photosmart C4780 All-in-One Only Prints Half a Page

MacBook Pro 15.4 Laptop Model A1286
Snow Leopard 10.6
HP Photosmart C4780 All-in-One
Wireless Connection
Airport Extreme Sim Dualband
New to wireless
Why does the wireless printer take several minutes before it prints?
Why does it print only the top banner of a web page?
Why does it print only quarter or half the page of a document or web page?
Why does it continually lapse into “pause” mode?

Do not connect a USB cable to the router. This will confuse and defeat the wireless connection.
Let's add the printer using WPS:
FIrst, start the WPS process from the front panel of your printer (Setup [Scan] > Network > Wifi Protected Setup) Then:
open the Apple Airport Utility
select your wireless router
select Manual Setup
select Add Wireless Clients ... from the Base Station menu
Select First Attempt then press Continue.
You have to start the Apple Add Wireless Client process within two minutes of starting the printer's WPS pushbutton method. Actually, order doesn't matter ... you can start the Add Wireless Clients process on the the Apple router first then start the printer's WPS pushbutton method.
Now your printer will be connected to your router.
Because there are two printer icons in the list, let's reset the printing system again:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

System not seeing my Canon MG5422 Wifi printer all of a sudden.

My iMac installed the OS X 10.2.2 update on 30 Jan and I upgraded my Comcast cable modem on 3 Feb. My Wifi works fine but all of a sudden I can't see my printer. I tried to print something and got a "cannot communicate with the printer error". So I removed the printer from System Preferences and now I can't get it back. When I hit the "+" button to add a printer I get the add screen but there's nowhere to go from there...the system does not see the printer so won't add it automatically, I can search it but can't find it, and I cannot get to an input point to add a name. So I cannot communicate to the printer.
The two things that have changed are the 10.2.2 update (which was supposed to fix some wifi issues) and the new cable modem, but like I said the wifi for internet (web and email) is working fine. Has the Yosemite update caused similar issues with anyone?

Reinstall the drivers > Canon U.S.A. : Support & Drivers : PIXMA MG5422
Then go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print then click ➕.
You may need to re enter your Wi-Fi password for the printer to work > Canon U.S.A. : Wireless Help

Hp photosmart c309a all in one series printer indicates the wireless radio is not functioning.

The printer has had difficulty finding the wireless router.
I had a problem with the print coming out on an angle.
I cleaned the rollers with a dry rag now the wireless radio is not functioning at all.

Try resetting the printer. Turn it off. Hold the # and 9 keys while turning it back on.
If this does not work, call HP support: www.hp.com/go/totalcare (click on Printers & Monitors, use the phone number on the resulting page).

Illustrator CS6 not printing all of a sudden

Hello,
It's been a while since I needed to print something using Illustrator on my home computer, but just now when I tried, it gave me a lot of problems. Firstly, it checked "Print to File" by default. When I went to uncheck that option and hit okay, bringing that window back up showed the Print to File checkbox still checked -- so it's like it never saved that I unchecked it. When I go to print right after I unchecked Print to File, it shows a loading box (like when Illustrator is performing an intensive action), which goes to 7% and then stops and never continues.
I can see how perhaps it would do that for an enormous document with lots of stuff going on, but this document is a regular default preset 8.5"x11" CMYK 300dpi sheet with a few vector shapes, a pattern background, and some text. I also just as a test, tested a new document with a simple squiggly line path and nothing else, and it did the exact same thing.
I tested some other programs in the Adobe suite as well. InDesign has the same problem. However, both Photoshop and Fireworks prints fine. Photoshop I even tested with only vector shapes to see if perhaps it was vector vs raster that was the problem, and it still printed fine.
I noticed that Illustrator is defaulting to a print preset called 'Custom' instead of the normal '[Default]' that I'm used to seeing. Setting it to [Default] does nothing to help the issue, but either way I was also wondering how to reset my print presets, if anyone knows.
For reference, this is on a Windows 7 64-bit PC with 4GB DDR2 and 300GB free HDD space. I know for a fact that this same hardware setup and windows installation has printed Illustrator documents just fine before.
Any ideas?

Noted about the pastebin. If I could edit the orginal post, I would - I don't see an option to do so though?
Anyway, updates applied. Crash still occuring.
For full disclosure, the crash is only happenning currently on a specific file. Sadly, that specific file is the project that I am currently working on. If this is an isolated case, then I can live with it, but the problem is that I've now lost all of my work from yesterday and I'm worried that I'll end up losing all of my work again on the next version of the file.
This is the first time that Illustrator has started acting up and it appears to be out of the blue - no other app installs or fonts or plugin's etc. I have had some random photoshop crashes as well as of late, log is below for that if that helps.
Here's the pastebin link for the most recent AI crash log after the updates you asked me to apply: http://pastebin.com/8sPBLNA9
