Copies from my all-in-one are pages of solid black streaks

The copies from my all-in-one are completely streaked with black ink. I have attempted all the trouble shooting suggestions with no success.
Is there something else I should be aware about?

Hi Scrabbler,
I would be happy to help you with the streaks you are seeing when copying from your printer. What printer do you have? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?

Deskjet F4240 All-in-one - BLANK PAGES

Hi - I have a HP DESKJET F4240 All in one printer. When I print a page from Word, notepad or even try to print a test page it acts likes it printing but all I am getting are blank pages. I have pulled out the usb and power cord, waited a minute and put back in, restarted my computer, everything they say online and I still can't seem to make it work. Wondering if anyone has any advice? Thanks

Can't scan from 5610 all in one front panel

I have an HP5610 all in one installed on my Dell Vostro 200 with E6550 dual core processor, XP SP3 home OS. I noticed the problem when I tried to scan from the front panel of my 5610 and the orange exclamation light started blinking. The display said "No Scan Options". I ran the HP Print and Scan Doctor and it said to set the front panel scan destinations. I selected the default settings and closed the HP Direc.exe. When I opened the HP Direc.exe and looked for the panel destination that I set, I saw that they did not save. I can scan just fine using the HP software and have been doing so for many years. I now am wondering if I have had this issue all along, especially since I never remember trying to scan from the front panel of my 5610 until the other day.
I have done just about everything the Printing and Scan Doctor told me to do. I have shut down my 5610, unplugged it for several minutes, plugged it back in, removed the all in one program and reinstalled from the HP website. What is strange...I have the 5610 software installed on a Dell 3000 Dimension I have in a home network and it works perfectly. I'm seriously thinking about moving the 5610 in the room with my Dimension 3000 and buying a (print only) printer for my Vostro 200. I can work around this but I can't stand to have something not work correctly with a very good computer. Please, no comments on my preferred operating system. I am not upgrading, and as I said, this all in one works perfectly with a PC built in 2004. And contrary to belief, I am still getting security updates on a biweekly basis from Microsoft. One day last week I got 8 in one day. Thanks all for all of your excellent help!

When uploading large file from network, all other requests are not being sent to server

In our application we are facing a weird scenario in which when we try to upload a huge file(600+ MB) from network, all other requests(AJAX) are getting blocked. But when the same file is being uploaded from local location(E drive) then everything works fine.

How are you uploading the file via network?
If you are troubleshooting the network bandwidth? or the threads where one process takes precedent over the other you will have to troubleshoot the QoS of the network you see this on.
To give a better visual please use Firebug or the Web Developer tool called Network to analyze the requests. The "XMLHttpRequest" will give better clues for Ajax. Reference [http://ajaxian.com/archives/ajax-debugging-with-firebug]
There may be a about:config option that allows mutithreading or max persistent connections per server you can check.

HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-one Alignment Page message keeps scrolling

The HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-one display shows "No printing Alignment Page" scrolling for the last 30 minutes.
Also, suddenly, this printer is no long listed in my control panel.
I installed new cartridges about a week ago and they worked fine until this week.

Hi there,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

Maverick OS X10.9.4 won't save scan from HP All in One

Have new iMac running OSX10.9.4 and am trying to scan from my old HP All in One Deskjet 3070A. I have managed to launch the scan function from System preferences, but it does not appear to be saving the scan anywhere. I have asked it to do the scan to the desktop and it is not there.
When I try and scan using the Old scan icon from along the bottom of my screen it comes up with an error message. Boo HIss HP, it is very complicated to have to go through system preferences. Please update the software!

Hi @pearl46
I can help you scan using your Deskjet 3070a despite there being no full feature software and drivers for 10.9.
I have seen the scan not save before in System Preferences, I believe I may have a quick solution for you. When you open the Scanner it does an overview, you might need to change the scan size. It seems that for some reason the Apple scan software is defaulting to custom and 0 x 0, thus it is not actually scanning and saving anything because the scan size is 0. I know it is strange ,but if you unselect custom, then change the scan size to the desired size, and click scan it should then save to the location you selected!
I hope this helps.

How can I stop the...(icons?)..and .firefox ball from bouncing all around the Start Page?? It's VERY ANNOYING. frustrated dino

How can I stop the little pictures (icons??) and the firefox ball from bouncing all around the middle of the start page, which is my home page (?) It's VERY ANNOYING and DISTRACTING!

If you prefer not to see snippets on the about:home page then you can set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to an empty string on the about:config page.
Delete the storage\moz-safe-about+home folder in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed to remove snippets stored in IndexedDB and make Firefox use a default set.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
You can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to the default value to re-enable the snippets.

Photosmart premium 3-all-in-one printer won't print black ink

My hp photosmart 3-all-in-one C310 series does not print black ink on the page. The cartridge is new, and all of the ink cartridges are full. The printer is 3 years old, just one month out of warranty. I have downloaded all the latest updates, I'm pretty sure, and have gone to the troubleshooting page on the hp web site. I have followed all the directions, twice, and still no black print. Please help, I do not want to buy a new printer!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Under Tools, I only see "Clean cartridges" not "Clean printhead."
When I selected "Clean cartridges" twice, the black ink printed! Hooray! Once I post this, I hope get back to the page to say the problem is "Solved"!
Oh, while I have you on-the-line, while the cartridges were being cleaned, I got a message saying that I had to download the newest hp drivers, since the ones I have are not compatible with this version of Windows. However, I did download the latest drivers for 8.1 from your web site when I had a horrible paper jam. After I downloaded the newer drivers, that problem was fixed. But, since I am getting this message re incompatibility, do I have to download again? It was only a couple of weeks ago (three at the most) that I downloaded the drivers.
Thank you again!

Deskjet 3050 does only print JPG files in color - all other docs are only printed in black and white

Dear All,
I have a problem with my Deskjet 3050 Printer. (USB connected with my laptop).
My printer won't print colored documents in color but only in black and white (except for JPG files (photos) which are printed in color.
Word documents or PDF files (for example) are always printed in black and white - even if these are in color.
Copying colored pages with my printer is no problem.
This works perfectly well. The printer is connected to my PC via USB.
The cartridges (color and black and white) are practically new and original HP cartridges.
Could the problem be related to the printer settings which I might have changed by accident.
Thanks in advance for your advise.

HP Deskjet All in ONe L7650 will not print black only --

Started doing this with previously working black cartridge, updated software--prints, but blank page comes out when set to black ink only; prints other colors.
Changed black print cartridge and still will not print black. Diagnostic page prints other colors.
Printhead health shows good for all colors.

What brand of printer cartridges (not printhead) did you use the last time you changed them? I don't know if it was because one or both of my printer cartrdiges went dry, but I put new cartridges in (not printhead) and it improved somewhat--I kept trying to clean the printheads but it seemed to never get resolved.
I refuse to have to buy new printheads. I tried several cycles of "align printheads" "clean printheads" and never got a decent print out, but I did get to the point of all the colors printing although magenta printhead makes printing errors and so I never know what I am going to get with color anymore.
It seems to be at its worst when printing in "draft" but in normal or best (with more ink coming through) it seems better--the higher ink volume seems to cover some of the problems with the printheads.
So, I am justing using it "as is" and not replacing the printheads--because it is a waste and yes, could almost get a new printer for this cost.
I wish I had never gotten this All in One and just stuck with the old 970 csi and the old UMAX scanner, which was a better scanner, but thought I would "save some space" by getting this since it scans legal, which I needed.
Just keep trying to reseat the printheads (also trying to reclean them, which seems to make it worse) and keep printing out those "tools" alignment and cleaning procedures.
But no help from HP.

Hp officejet 6500 all in one won't print in black

I cleaned the printhead to eliminate clogs which had worked in past. Did not work this time.
Purchased and installed a new printhead and ran a report which showed the black ink working.
Ink levels in all cartridges, however, were low. Purchased new 920 XL cartridges and installed. Ran an alignment and said it failed.
Ran the cleaning of the printheads and then ran a report and still no black ink.
Ran status and quality reports and now the black will NOT print (when it was printing the day before with the new printhead).
HELP! Why will the black suddenly not print. The printhead is new and the hp ink catridges are all new.

Hi, Jamison ~
I had tried many of the things you noted (from the link) and at one point got an acceptable quality report (that included black) after replacing the printhead so it was particularly frustrating to then go back to no black after loading ink cartridges. I had done the partial reset too (as I had seen that recommendation on a forum) waiting hours for it to sort itself out wasn't acceptable when I needed to print something.
I have to admit that I finally threw in the towel and just got another printer. I need to be able to have something reliable and tire of always sorting through how to unclog; clean; reset; order parts; get new cartridges; run through mutiple cleaning printhead cycles. The lack of black print just seems to happen too often.
Thank you, though! I truly appreciate you taking the time to write a thorough response for me.

Hi @jfw , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you are experiencing print issues. I would like to try and help.
It appears you have covered much of the troubleshooting already.
I would recommend removing the ink cartridges, and performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also recommend this document on Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Officejet 6500 All-in-One Printer Series.
If that doesn't resolve the issue, the best recommendation I could make would be to contact HP directly. You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: Contact HP Worldwide.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

All in one printer won't print black ink - colour only

My all in one printer won't print in black right now - colour only - even though the black ink is new. It will print a couple of black ink pages and then reverts to colour. If I give it a rest it will print a couple more black pages and then again, in colour - I think something needs cleaning but I don't know what - any help is much appreciated! Val

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? Is the black cartridge an original HP or a third party or refill/renamufactured cartridge? (The symptom is typical of a poorly refilled cartrdige....)

My HP Photosmark 6510e All In One won\'t print in black

My HP All in One e printer is not printing in black. I am running W7 64bit. The printer is wireless. It was working fine until today.
I put in a new black cartgride, ran printer tests and alignment. The printer is printing in color only. I have uninstalled and reinstall the printer. Now what?

Hi JaniceRae,
I understand your printer is not printing in black ink. I would take a look at this document it provides some good troubleshooting steps.
Let me know how it goes.

HP Color Laserjet 2840 prints patchy areas instead of solid black areas

I have a printer that's about 4-5 years old and LOVE it. However, recently it stopped printing solid black areas when I print artwork. When I print text only, there are no problems--only when I print artwork. It's got a new imaging drum and plenty of black ink. I don't have much money and can't afford a new one, so I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas what needs to be fixed. Thank you in advance!

Hi @kenlock153,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since the HP Color LaserJet 2840 is a commercial product. You can do this at HP Enterprise Business Community.

Photoshop all of the sudden printing a solid black "box"

Hello!
I have a few users who use CS3 to do some marketing-work. Not quite sure what they exactly are doing, but they are using Photoshop, InDesign etc. at least.
Both computers are running XP SP3 with the newest updates for CS3.
Yesterday a problem started occuring, when they were printing. One of them opened two files, each about 50 MB - pressed "print" (as she always does) and instead of two pictures, like one would expect, out came one picture and one solid black box, where the picture was supposed to be.
The other one had 10 images open and same symptoms. First one printed nicely, the last 9 came out as black boxes. Keep in mind, that they have been doing this for quite some time now, without any problems what so ever.
My first thought was that the printer (HP Laserjet 5550) couldn't handle the big images, so I asked them to print on our Xerox Docucolor 240. Same problem! That leads me to believe, that there's a setting somewhere, they've activated - sorta like the one, that makes all text black.
If you need any additional info, please tell me :-) Also, I would be glad to scan one of the black boxes in for you, if you need to see it.
Thank you in advance!
Thomas

Thank you for your effort in explaining this in a more simple way hehe..
I have forwarded your suggestion to the users in question. I'm not sure, they will be able to test it today, since it's almost 2 PM here (and time for weekend). But as soon as I know whether or not it helped, I'll be sure to let you know.
Regards
Thomas
