C7180 won't print transparency film

My C7180 won't print on transparency. It seems to ignore the sheet, or rather, it sees it but pulls it straight through and then prints on the paper from the tray. If I put a sheet of paper in first it pulls that sheet straight through, then the transparency, then takes the next sheet of paper and prints on that. I have changed the settings to Other Transparency so that isn't the problem. I desperately need to use this feature for my business.

The media sensor in the printer requires a transparency with a leading paper strip that is removed after printing. This is needed so the printer can properly sense where the edge of the media is, without it the printer cannot determine the media is properly feeding.

Won't print one color

My HP printer Officejet Pro 8600 won't print Magenta color.. I have replaced two different cartritges but none worked. Yellow, blue and black works fine.. The picture/text would print but just without red tones.
All I get is greenish colors...
What can be done to fix it..??

HP c7180 - Won't print one color[ New ]
12-28-2010 04:50 PM
My C7180 displayed a message that the ink cartridge was out of date and immediately stopped printing which used Mageneta. I replaced the cartridge and it still won't print this color. All other print functions and features are fine. If a photo or print requires red, however, it prints as yellow. Print tests show a small single horizonal line where the mageneta should be. Additionally, I've run the "clean print head" command. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.

C4280 won't print one color

My C4280 started to print color badly a while ago and I new that the cartridge was getting low so I initially refilled it. Put it back in and it wouldn't print yellow. So I figured that I screwed something up and went and bought a new remanufactured cartridge today. Same thing, no yellow. Got on the phone with tech support and they bascially said that it sounded like the head is bad and of course I'm a month and a half out of warranty. Then they had the audacity to give me a "deal" on the exact same model. Anyone else have a problem like this that they've been able to fix? Am I missing something obvious?

What is the best hp laserjet printer monochrome for transparent film ?

Hello.
I want to know what is the best laserjet printer monochrome for transparent film ?
Can you recommend a printer ? I want to print negative or positive films at high opacity
I wait your recommendation.
Thank you

high price:HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 color MFP M575dn This is the top of the line for consumer laser printing. It's technically an enterprise (fancy word for commercial) printer, and there for has a commercial warranty attached to it, which is a very good thing. This also has dual trays with automatic tray switching depending on the media type. That means you can keep the transparencies in one tray, and plain paper for everyday printing in the other without having to switch between the two manually. This printer also supports 1200 x 1200 dpi (dots per inch) which will give the transparencies a clear crisp look.
average price:HP LaserJet Pro 400 color MFP M475dn This is about the middle of the road laser printer. It's still technically an enterprise printer, so you get the enterprise level warranty, and you still get the dual trays with auto-switching. The main differences are in the price, and in the quality of prints. This printer is much cheaper, but the maximum dpi is 600 x 600 so the images that print are not quite as good as with the M575dn.
low price: HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw This is not the bottom of the line by any means, but it's not as fast at printing as the two above. You still get 600 x 600 dpi, but you loose the extra tray. You also loose the enterprise level warranty, but you do still get a 1 year consumer level warranty. It's not as flashy as the two above, but it will do the job.

Printing on transparency film

I use HP. Officejet J4680 w/ Windows XP. I'd appreciate knowing about how to use (print on) dedicated inkjet transparency film...Do's & don'ts. I've just tried it with mixed results. No directions on packaging. Info from searches-wildly varied. Best kind/brand? Can be copied on either/both sides? Special ink? Usually how long for ink to dry? Does the ink eventually become "permanent"? Is there always a chance it can smear? Is there a need to apply a clear spray over the printed surface? If so, is there a dedicated product? Can other clear sprays (lacquer, urethane, e.g.) be used? Special care needed for use/storage? Will it change color (yellow)? What else do I need to know? Sorry, H.P. Tech help, no help. Thanks.

C7180 won't scan

I installed windows 7 and now the C7180 won't scan. Several programs see the C7180 but any attempt to scan is met with "scanner software not found" type error messages. After installing win 7 I downloaded a fresh copy of the Vista 64 bit software for the C7180 and ran it in compatibility mode and as administrator and the software appeared to install correctly, but still no scanning. The printer part still works.

What won't scan? Please give us the model of the printer.

Printer won't print too- need a new printer head. i want to know if you have one in stock

Hi, my printer won't print and the error message states "bad printerhead". My printer model is HP officejet d 155xi. I need to know how much it costs or would it be cheaper to buy a new printer. Still have four cartridges of ink. Please advise. Thanks.

HI,
You can find the General prices for the printheads HERE, if you only have to replace one its ok, but keep in mind that the other printhead are likely to be just as old and might break down as wel.

I have an hp photosmart c7280 all-in-one series printer won't print. error message, system problem

I have an HP Photosmart All-in-One C7280 series printer/fax/copier/scanner. I have been having issues with printing for the past few weeks. It is a wireless printer, with a jack into the wall (for fax) and it is plugged into a power source. I never used to have issues with it before, but recently, it won't print when I send a document to it to print. It will print its configuration pages, reports, etc if I select them from the Printer's menu but not when I send a doc to it to print. First it was saying it was offline, but I figured out how to override that by operating as an administrator and selecting "Use Printer Online" from the dropdown menu when I right clicked on the printer from the control panel. But now it says "Error: Printer failed to print document. System error".
Noooo clue what to do now. This is the only color printer we have so we kind of need it to work. We bought this printer off the shelf at a office store (before I started working here) and so we don't have any designated technichians to work on it. I asked the guy who services our Image Runner Copier to look at it but he had no clue what was wrong with it. Hopefully someone can help?

goestherain,
I need to know what operating system you are using to helps narrow troubleshooting a bit, what OS are you running?

Deskjet 3050 Won't Print Wirelessly

Hi there,
My new all in one 3050 won't print for me. It is "Offline" in the network page. I feel I have explored every avenue and it will still not print. The wireless network configuration page I printed says everything passed. The home network disagnostic tool says "software missing" after i click test connection. The print diagnostic tool fails on connectivity everytime. I can connect to the printer ip 192.168.1.3 in the browser 95% of the time but not always. My router is a Zyxel P-660HW-T1 v3. I'm really close to tears with frustration, I'm quite computer and networking savvy but I cannot fix this. please help, I'd be eternally grateful.
Kind Regards,
Larry.

Remote laptop won't print to new HP4622 wireless printer

My new HP 4622 won't print from wife's laptop (Compaq Presario CQ-60-224NR w/ Windows Vista) in another part of the house on my home Centurylink DSL network with very good connectivity. I have the printer installed at my desktop (Gateway Microsoft XP SP3) and it prints fine from the desktop. Does the printer software also need to be installed on the laptop? I sent a .jpg file to the printer from the laptop and it printed one line of unicode? code per page until I cancelled the job from the print queue. I have gone thru the installation guide a couple of times and nothing is fixed. Test results say that everything passed and install is successful. I downloaded and tried the print doctor wizard and it says no problems found. I have McAfee total protection running, could there be a firewall problem? I'm not sure about enabling ports or that sort of thing. I dumped a perfectly good Lexmark X7170 all-in-one because it wasn't wireless and we couldn't get it configured to print peer-to-peer. Now I have a new wireless printer and con't get to print remotely either. Hope you can help. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks.

Hi Ken,
I would recommend giving the printer a static IP address for the wireless connection (not USB):
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS. This is Google DNS. You can choose another external DNS if you wish.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you will have delete and re-add the printer on your computer. Do it this way:
0. Go to Start > Control Panel > Devices & Printers and delete all instances of the printer.
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing. Get its IP from a Network Test printed from the front panel of the printer.
2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Devices & Printers.
3. Click the Add a printer
4. Select Local printer
5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's IP address. Click Next.
7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
10. You may be asked to share the printer. Choose NO.
11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
12. Click Finish.
If you're still experiencing issues try changing the channel on your router to 11 and the encyption to WPA.

Report won't print to the end of width in Oracle E-Business Suite

Hello all,
I desperately need help to setup Reports 6i layout. I created a report for a 8.3 x 11.69" and it seems fine when I print directly from Reports Developer but when I register it in Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 it won't print to the end of page width. It always cut the print in about 3/4 of page width. I already setup the report as a text and pdf but still no success. Enlarge the width and height of the report won't help either. Anyone can suggest something to help? Thanks.

Won't Print to Kodak 1400 Professional - "Printing" never ends

Hi - Using MacBook Pro 17" and Aperture. OS 10.4.x. Out of box, new Kodak 1400 Professional Printer worked fine, and printed several great pictures. A week later, I was unable to print anything at all. Printer Window shows "PRINTING" and the twirling barber pole thermometer, but it NEVER prints however long I wait and no error message.
I've opened and closed printer, restarted printer and computer, checked that the firmware is up to date, re-set the paper in tray, etc. ALSO, it won't print JPGS from Preview, or apparently anything.
What could have happened?
Fix?

email [email protected]

I have no idea if this will help anyone, but it helped me. I had my Kodak 1400 working with no problems for quite a while. I never really printed much, but I did now and then. About two months ago, I ran out of paper and didn't purchase any more for a while. I finally got my two packs (so I could get the third free!) about two weeks ago. I now have two clients who need prints, a total of about 85 8x10s.
So, I setup the printer, installed the driver, and started going about my business. Setup the prints, got it all rolling, and prepared to run the first print through as I've found the first print on a new ribbon is a dud due to dust. Nothing happened. It went to "printing" and stared at me as though it were as dumbfounded I asked it to print as I was that it WASN'T printing.
That was yesterday. Since then, I've removed the driver about a bajillion times. Googled this, FAQ'd that, held my tongue appropriately, used different USB cables, different USB ports, removed the other printer, blahdy blahdy blah. Then, this afternoon while I was somewhere between awake and sleep, it hit me: why not try an older driver. I thought about it, and realized that since the last time I was using the 1400 successfully, I'd reinstalled OSX. What were the odds that when I downloaded the driver the last time, I downloaded the "wrong" driver and got the old one (1.0.2) instead of the NEW correct driver, 2.0.0.
So, I removed the old driver from everywhere I could. Restarted the computer. Installed 1.0.2, cliked print, and felt my heart sink as the red Error light blinked intermittently with the "Media" light. Shot through the heart... then, all of a sudden, it sucked in some paper, and started printing! Problem solved!
So, if you still can't print, try using 1.0.2. It might not work, but if you can't print with 2.0.0, what harm can it do? NONE! Muhahahaha. I feel so adventurous for using an old driver. (yes, this is what now counts as "adventure" for me... now go away or I shall taunt you a second time.)
Hope that works for someone!
