C6280 All in One ink error message

Hi there,
I have the HP photosmart C6280 All in One printer that recently requested that I replace the Magenta ink.  I did so but when I attempt to print I get the following message.
To print in color, instal the following cartridges:
 Magenta
To print with black only, click black only.  to begin printing on certain products, press the Resume button on the printer control panel.  the printer will replace colors wit grayscale.
To cancel, press the cancel button on printer.
If empty ink cartridge is not replaced soon, all printing will stop.
I have had this issue before and someone told me how to fix it but I can't find the original message or email for it at all but it work fabulous and I think it involved a reset.  Can anyone assist me with this, perhaps explain how to reset the C6280.
Thank you

For resetting the printer ink system, try this document:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c01709782&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3194498   
Removing the ink/power reset procedure can eliminate the cartridge message. 
For missing colors in the output, try this document:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c01124477&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3194498
NOTE: step 8 has a hyperlink that is no longer valid. The cleaning of the printheads will affect your color output greatly.
I hope this will help you.

    I cannot print from my computer due to an error message that the printer is currently off-line. The printer icon in my dock has a red hexagon with a white exclamation mark inside it. Has anyone else had this issue? It seems that I've install everything okay because I could print both the 'Self Diagnostic Page & Network Configuration Report' manually from the printer. Any words of wisdom?

    Okay, you've installed new inks, but now aren't seeing blue or yellow in your printouts. One thing to check is the cartridge venting - take a look at solution 2 this in document: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01641815&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=3795314&tmp... - make sure all your cartridges look as if the vent is open.
    If the vents are open, then your printhead is either damaged or clogged. Try another printhead cleaning. That will use ink, but it may be the best way to recover the printhead. 
    If normal printhead cleaning does not work, there is kind of an unofficial solution posted here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Printing-Questions/HP-6500-Office-jet-E709a-Black-printer-cartrid... - scroll down to the green 'solved' area.

  • Photosmart C5280 all-in-one Cartridges error message

    hi, I have a Photosmart C5280 all-in-one. It's been good until today when I got an error message:
    ! Print Cartridges refer to printer documentation.
    I've only ever used genuine HP cartridges. I have the correct ones in - 75XL tricolour and 74XL black.
    I've taken them out, reseated them several times to no avail, the error message will not leave and the printer will not function. Any ideas please?

  • E 3520 all in one printer error message - please advise how to correct

     am getting an error message but don't know how to clear.  it states ' 1 or more ink cartriges are damaged and need to be replaced.  the ink cartridge will not move into the cartridge space to allow me to change the cartridges.  HELP!!!!! what can i do?

    Hi liklesmudge,
    I understand you are trying to replace one of your cartridges due to the error message "1 or more ink cartridges are damaged and need to be replace", but the carriage will not move in to the appropriate position for you to change the cartridge.
    Please try performing a hard reset. To do so, leave the printer on and unplug the power cable for a full minute, then plug it back in. If this resolves the issue and allows you to change the cartridge, but the original issue persists, please use the following document; 'Incompatible Ink Cartridge' or 'Ink Cartridge Must Be Replaced' Message Displays on the Control Pan....
    Although the error message you are seeing is slightly different from the ones in the title of the document, this document will guide you through the necessary troubleshooting to resolve the cartridge issue.
    If the carriage does not move over for you to replace the cartridge, try a carriage jam document; A 'Carriage Jam' Message Displays on the Control Panel
    I hope this helps.

  • 8610 all in one printer error message

    occasionally my new printer gives me an error message (no number on the message): An error occurred while printing.This comes up on websites I use often--no rhyme or reason on which ones it will or will not print-- and it's annoying! There is no helpful trouble shooting advice, just the message.  Most other times I have no issue with printing, although it sometimes feeds too many pages thru and prints a portion of a page on multiple pages. Help please! Thx!

    Have you tried using another browser?Have you tried cleaning the rollers? (solution #4 in this link)Also try fanning the paper.

  • HP all in one C309a: Error message: Wireless Radio is not functioning. Contact HP support

    Today all of a sudden, a 2 year old HP Photosmart C309a All-in-One printer is not longer connecting to my local Wireless Home Network. There is no change to network configuration to the TLink 3000 hub that I was using. All other clients (Mac OX, Vista, Ubunta 11.1, various versions of iOS and Android Icecream Sandwich) have no problem connecting to the same hub. No change to the network configure on the Printer. The machine have been standing as a stand alone machine and connected wirelessly to the network since day one in the corner of my office. Its within range of my router. I ran Wireless Network Test report to see what's going on. The title says "The Wireless Radio is not functioning. Contact HP Support" . Any number of reboot cycle didn't help. Out of frustration, I press "reset back to Factory Setting" on the printer. I did that, and then press "Wireless Network Wizard", and it was on "Searching for Wireless Router" forever... What opinions do I have? Get a new printer? or use good old 10-base T network cable to hook up the machine?

    My HP C309a had exactly the same problem.  Everything I found on the internet said that the printer could not be fixed and the only solution was to buy a new printer. The printer report said the wireless radio was not functioning. A factory reset did not fix the problem either. I had a problem with my HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop with the video graphics IC.  The solution for that fix was to do a solder reflow of the graphics IC.  Did it and fixed the problem. I figured maybe the same fix would work on my printer as I didn't have anything to lose at this point.  I located and removed the wireless radio board in the printer (on the left side upper right corner). I then did a solder reflow on BOTH sides of the board. I put the board back into the printer and wa-la, it connected immediately to the network. It has been functioning with no problems now for at least four weeks now (knock on wood). Hope this helps.

  • HP Officejet 5610 all in one Communication Error Message on Mac with 10.10.2

    Hi,
    I got a new MAC computer running 10.10.2 Yosemite. I own the HP 5610 Officejet all in one printer. The new computer doesn't recognize the printer or scanner. I went to my applications folder and tried to uninstall the HP software but the printer doesn't show up there. I also downloaded the 3.0 software driver and tried to install it. 
    I can print from a document without a problem but I can't scan.
    Any ideas on how to solve this/
    Thank you.

    Hey @PRLady ,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forum.  I understand that you're having scan to Mac issues with your HP Officejet 5610 All-in-One Printer.  I would like to assist you with enabling scan to Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite.  
    My colleague @X-23 has assisted another HP printer user with essentially the same issue in another Forum post.  Click here to access troubleshooting steps that may resolve your scanning issue. 
    As HP has not released a Full Feature driver available that's directly compatible with Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite, my colleague has outlined the steps in which you may add your printer into the Mac.  (In this type of setup you would be using the built-in HP drivers that are available through Apple).
    Please respond to this post in regards to your troubleshooting result.  Best of luck with your setup!

    Try pulling the battery for 10 minutes and putting it back in.  Try pressing and holding the power button for a while 15-30 seconds to see if it will respond.  Did anything happen to it, drop, submersion, etc. Was it functioning before you charged, When did it last work. Are you sure it charged up and the charger is working.

  • How can I get to the photo tray when using iphoto with HP C6280 all-in-one printer

    How do I get the photo tray option to come up in iphoto from my mac notebook when I have an HP C6280 all-in-one printer

    I have an HP all-in-one C5140.  When I print from iPhoto the dialog that comes up has a "Presets" drop down at the bottom.  One of the choices is "Print from Photo Tray."  Is that there on yours?  If not make sure you have the latest software from HP.

  • How do I get my HP Photosmart C6280 All-In-One to scan?

    I have updated to Mac OS 10.9 the driver for my HP Photosmart C6280 All-In-One, but the scanner function no longer works.  The Apple update list shows the update was performed on October 30.
    The printer does not show up in the list of printers as a "Bonjour"  printer, as the instructions from HP's website indicate it should.

    Hi there,
    I understand you're having issues printing/scanning with your Photosmart C6280 since upgrading the 10.9 on your Mac. I would like to help you with this as best I can.
    The reason your having issues is because the HP software you're using is not designed for the 10.9 operating system. The last full software package HP released for the Photosmart C6280 was for 10.6, so the best option at this point would be to use the in operating system drivers.
    To get everything to work properly again, I'm going to link you to how to completely remove the HP software so you can use the Apple software as Sunshyn2005 has described in her post. Once you follow those steps to begin using the Apple software you may not know how to scan using the Apple software and you can learn 3 different ways to do so.
    I hope this helps, have a great weekend!
