Can different contacts on the same brand of ink cartridge cause printer to print blank pages?

I have a  HP  office jet 6500 printer -  E709n model.   My operating system is Windows 7.  The printer requires one black cartridge and three different colored cartridges.  My black ran out (steaking, blank spots, etc.); the color cartridges were low, but not out.  I replaced the black cartridge with a new one.  When I did, the printer would not print at all - just blank sheets came out. After trying a few different things, I decided to put the old one back in.  I changed the document I was writing to green and it printed.  I thought this was odd so I decided to check the contacts.  The contacts or microchip on the old cartridge  looked completely different than on the new one.  So I decided to call hp tech service to see if they had changed the contact (microchip) design on their 920 ink cartridges and if that would make a difference.  An hour later after going through their usual steps - cleaning printouts and checking alignment which failed - they decided to send me another black ink cartridge.  Since I was talking to guys in India with heavy accents, it made it quite difficult.  They never answered my question about whether different contacts or microchips on the cartridges would make a difference.  It was chalked up as a faulty cartridge.   I returned it to Staples and purchased a new one.  I opened a new black cartridge, but its contacts looked just like the faulty one I threw away.  I decided to show it to a tech person there.  Two techs there had not seen anything like it.  They opened another black one which had the same style contacts so we concluded that hp had changed their contacts on their cartridges and maybe getting them all to match would work.  I picked up three color cartridges as well, but only checked one.  It had the new design.  When I arrived home, I quickly opened all cartridges and inserted them into the printer.  It still didn't print. So I checked all cartridges.  All had the same style connection or microchip except the yellow ink cartridge.  I couldn't believe it.  So do I take the yellow one back and try to open a package to find a matching connection or do the connection even matter.  The display is registering all cartridges as full, but I am still unable to print anything but blank paper.  I printed an alignment page and only color gets printed, no blank.  So please let me know if the difference in connectors makes any difference in whether things print.  

There have been some changes in the contacts on the supplies, but this should not cause any issues in printing.
I would suggest you try the troubleshooting steps in this document.  If that does not resolve the issue then the post here may help.

  • My iPhone is merging different contacts with the same firstname into one contact. How can i resolve this.

    My Bosses iPhone is merging different contacts with the same firstname into one contact. How can i resolve this? He seems very disturbed and thinks i don't know what i'm doing. I've set up all his devices to sync across and now its messed up on his iPad, and two iPhones.
    E.G Contacts with firstname 'Adams' and different numbers are synced into one account.
    Now i have no clue how many contacts are this way cos he has a huge number of contacts (he's the ceo).
    Please i need a suggestion on how to fix this.
    Thanks for the help.

    How do I edit the device in iTunes?
    Double-click on the name.
    My screen shot shows both devices because I sync wirelessly.  Right now I can change the iPod name but not the iPad name because the iPod is idle while the iPad is syncing.  In another minute or two, I'll be able to change the iPad name.

  • Brand new ink cartridges, cleaned, still not printing

    Recurring problem on this printer, nothing helps.  Brand new ink cartridges, cleaned the inkheads twice, read though solutions for de-clogging the vents.  Able to print documents fine this morning, now---nothing.  Black ink not printing.  Frustrating, this is a recurring problem and am tired of going through more ink.  Ran alignment, just says "alignment failed" but no solutions offered/no troubleshooting given.  Suggestions?

    Hi @OL5,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see that your HP Photosmart is not printing black. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
    For further assistance, I will need to know:
    The Product/Model Number of your printer. Follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number.
    If the printer is connected, Wireless, or USB.
    If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well. 
    If you are using genuine HP ink cartridges, or refills.
    Once I know this information, I will be happy to do some further research for you.
    Thank you for posting!

  • Can different symbols share the same trigger?

    Hi!
    i have 4 buttons all animated on the same timeline. Each is text that's converted into a symbol.
    i used sym.getSymbol("about").play("over"); for each with their respective symbol names in the hopes that each with trigger individually, but mousing over one triggers the rest too.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction pls? Thx!

    Hey Mate,
    sym.getSymbol("about").play("over" ); is asking to play a timeline from a symbol called "about".
    However this isn't what is set up.
    if you were type sym.play("over"); what you'll find is that all of the contact/gallery etc will animate.
    you need to create a symbol for each button and copy those triggers and animations details into that symbol OR if you want to use the stage timeline (recommend only if a basic comp or site) then spread those animations out and triggers. 
    i.e aboutOver and galleryOver
    Best to create individual symbol for each button and then click on "open actions' for each of those buttons and add the mouse enter / mouse leave / click actions there.

  • How do I add multiple emails for one contact to the same group list?

    When trying to set up a group email list using address book, is there a way to include multiple emails for the same contact to one group.  For example I'm trying to set up a baseball team group email.  Some kids want emails sent to both mom and dad which have different emails.  I currently have them in my address book as the boy's name with the emails listed as mom and dad.  I can add one "mom" to the list but when I compose the email, it will use the most recent email used.  I would like the group to contain both addresses for mom and dad without setting up to different contacts for the same player.

    var cToAddr = this.getField("saManager").value + ";" + this.getField("ManagerEmail").value;

  • Insert more than one contact in the same page/document

    Hello,
    I have tried without success to insert more than one contact into the same page of a document.
    For example, if i insert 2 Address book fields in a page, when i drag a contact from the address book then it populates automatically the 2 fields, and it is impossible to separate these fields and to populate them with 2 different entries (on the same page).
    And when you drag more than one contact to Pages, it asks you if you want to create one document per contact.
    Would it be possible to just insert 2 or more different contacts on the same page/document ?
    Thanks in advance for any help,
    Fred.

    Unfortunately, this can't be done with Pages, nor could it be done with AppleWorks. I think the assumption is that you would merge into a letter & one letter sent per person. In checking the 3 postcard templates in Pages 3, none of them have address book fields to drop contacts into.
    There is a workaround, but it might not be worth the effort. Create your postcard as a single, large document in page layout in landscape & merge to a new document. Then, in the print dialog, choose Layout from the drop-down menu that says Copies & Pages & choose 4 from the Pages per Sheet menu. You might also want to add a hairline border for cut lines.

  • Can I print several different pics of the same size on one shee  of papert?

    Hi,
    I should like to print a group of several different pics of the same size & resolution on one sheet of (A4) paper eg 6 family photos. There doesn't seem to be a template for this - just two choices of format (both with one large and a few smaller format) and there is no 'Printer' pop up menu.
    I tried to laboriously copy pics to a two column works word processing document (after resizing in a different one so that they would fit in the columns). This is time consuming and when down sizing the pics lose resolution!
    Maybe I can download templates somewhere on the apple site as suggested by apple care but I couldn't find out where. Maybe there is a possibility of doing some contact prints?
    Any help much appreciated - many thanks - John

    Select the 6 photos you want printed in the iPhoto Library or Album window.
    Choose File->Print.
    In the Print dialog box, Select the paper size in the Paper popup menu.
    In the Style popup menu, select N-Up.
    In the Photos per page popup select 6.
    The preview should show what you'll get. I hope its what you wanted.

  • I do not see where to enter IP addresses in the Open VPN setup. Also, how can I set it up so that I can choose different servers in the same way as I can currently choose them with my VPN app but for PPTP?

    I think I have it working on my iPhone 5. But, I do not see how I can control the exit point that I would like for the VPN. Are all the exit points shown in the VPN setting now going to work with Open VPN, or do they remain PPTP? If I am reading correctly, they look like they remain PPTP. If I cannot control the exit point for open VPN, which exit point is the default in the profile you provided me?I note that Open VPN Connect does not work with any of the new 64 bit devices like the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air, and the new iPad MIni. Is there any chance that you guys will come up with an update for your app so that open VPN can be made to work on all iOS devices? That would be nice, particularly if the Open VPN Connect app does not give me a choice of exit points.Thanks,
    I do not see where to enter IP addresses in the Open VPN setup. Also, how can I set it up so that I can choose different servers in the same way as I can currently choose them with my VPN app but for PPTP?
    Just a quick note to tell you that Open VPN has updated their app so that it is compatible with 64 bit ARM devices like the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air, and the iPad Mini Retina.That does not resolve the problem of how to easily choose among the various possibilities for the exit server. We need to find an easy way to choose.

    Thank you for trying the new Firefox. I'm sorry that you’re unhappy with the new design.
    I understand your frustration and surprise at the removal of these features but I can't undo these changes. I'm just a support volunteer and I do not work for Mozilla. But you can send any feedback about these changes to http://input.mozilla.org/feedback. Firefox developers collect data submitted through there then present it at the weekly Firefox meeting
    I recommend you try to adjust to 29 and see if you can't make it work for you before you downgrade to a less secure and soon outdated version of Firefox.
    Here are a few suggestions for restoring the old design. I hope you’ll find one that works for you:

  • Can two people share the same Apple ID on two different iPhones and maintain different passwords?  Yes, there is more to the story.

    I have an iMac, and iPhone.  I've had my Apple ID for a few years. 
    My wife got an iPhone 4S a few months back and the salesperson at Verizon set her Apple ID the same as mine, but gave her a different password.  I don't know if this was ok, but that is what happened.
    So, yesterday, we both upgraded to IOS6 and I had no problem logging in to my iPhone with my Apple ID.  When my wife went to log in, she was told that she was entering the wrong password. We entered the password over and over again and still was wrong.
    The question is... can two people share the same Apple ID on two different iPhones and maintain different passwords?  (I have the feeling her iPhone is thinking that since it's my Apple ID, it wants my password.)
    If not, can I still set up a new Apple ID for her even through she's had the iPhone for a few months?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    You shold follow your feelings, its probably right most of the time.
    You can have 5 different devices hucked upp to one Apple ID. What I have done is that my wife and I have one Apple ID, when I bye a new app on my phone, She gets it to. Thats nice.
    You can allways set upp a new Apple ID for your wife.

  • Can two peeps use iChat with different accounts on the same computer?

    What do I do to REMOVE an old AIM account and replace it with a new account in IChat?
    Can two peeps use iChat with different accounts in the same computer?
    (Actually, two people share a laptop, but one of us cannot use her AIM account cuz mine is in iChat already... And, when traveling, I have the computer - and I would like to use iChat on the computer...)

    In iChat 4 you can have more than one AIM Valid name logged in at once.
    AIM valid = AIM, @mac.com or a MobileMe name.
    What you are then stuck with is that iChat is linked to one Buddy Picture and The one Mac User Account's Address Book which may or may not have Full Names, emails details, or a Nickname in iChat 4 linked to the Screen Names.
    Whilst it does let you both log in whilst using one Mac User Account there are drawbacks about who uses the keyboard and reading meesages from the other persons Buddies.

  • How can I make different catalogs from the same image

    How can I make different catalogs from the same image where that image has been changed in some way between the catalogs. For instance if I wanted to have a catalogs for cropped images and have 3 catalogs one for 4x6 , 5x7 and 8x10 cropping. When I tried this , if I changed a file in one catalog that same image in the other would change also.

    Do not confuse the creation of the crops and the display in collections per crop ratio.
    Of course one virtual copy (VC) per crop ratio is needed. If the same image should be cropped in all 3 mentioned ratios there would be 3 VCs.
    The OP asked how to have/see a set of same-crop-ratios.
    After having created the virtual copies for whatever crop ratio he wants, the way to display this result in the fashion asked for is via smart collections, provided they can be found. Without a plugin the naming of the VC with the crop ratio applied is a straight way to achieve that.
    IF the wish is to get new crops automatically added. (See my answers 2+3)
    IF the wish is to creat static collections per crop ratio for a certain set of images, I'd go as follows:
    1. Select all images you want to have cropped in that way,.
    2. With this selection click on the + to add another collection and fill the dialog box like this:
    Then navigate into this newly created selection and perform the 4x6 crop - according to taste individually or by synchronizing the first crop.

  • Can two users work on different files of the same project?

    Sorry if this has been asked already...but can two users work
    on different files of the same project? How would that work? Would
    it work something like this?
    1. From RoboHelp 7, user A checks out the entire project.
    2. User A checks in the files they are not working with.
    3. User B checks out the project but can only 'edit' the
    files that have been checked in by user A.
    Is this how the source control works?

    That's the basic idea. User A doesn't actually have to check
    out the whole project, though. RSC will selectively check out only
    the files that are actually getting changed. Both writers will have
    a complete copy of the project on their local machines, but the
    files are read-only until they are literally checked out, which is
    on an as-needed basis unless the writer explicitly checks them out.

  • Can two users on the same Mac sync contacts by using the same Apple ID in the iCloud settings?

    Can two users on the same Mac sync contacts by using the same Apple ID in the iCloud settings?

    Hi Barney,
    That's exactly what I want. I have a personal user and a business user on my MacBook Pro. I want both users to have the same contacts so if I add a contact while I'm logged into my personal user, it will show up when I'm logged into my business user. I want both contacts books to be exactly the same; like you said. So, I used my business user AppleID when I enabled iCloud for my personal user and I enabled iCloud for my business user with that Apple ID as well. For my personal user, I selected Contacts and Calendars to sync with iCloud. For my business user, I selected everything to sync with iCloud. The problem is... it didn't change anything. I restarted my computer to see if that would do anything but nothing happened. I'm not super savvy with Apple products, so maybe I'm completely confused.
    Hi Xeni,
    Thank you for your response, as well.

  • 2 different iphones have the same Apple ID, how can I change the apple ID on one of them but not delete the other iphone's data and media?

    2 different iphones have the same Apple ID, how can I change the apple ID on one of them but not delete the other iphone's data and media?

    You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
    You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.
