Hello snodgrassium,
I see that this is your first visit with us here on the HP Forums. Please let me take a moment to say "Welcome"
I hope you enjoy your experience!
To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I see that you are having an issue with the light on the printer staying on solid. One thing that you can try is to make sure you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general.
Please click on the link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Once you have the power cable in a wall outlet, power cycle the printer with the use of the ON/OFF button.
If you are still having issue or if you have any other questions, please feel free to write me back.
Hope you have a great Tuesday.

I followed all the instructions on hp.com nothing has worked. I just bought new cartridges for the printer it has aligned 3 times already but won't copy or scan because the ink cartridge light, paper jam and power lights are all blinking at the same time what can i do? I have windows vista all the software for the printer is already installed and I use it for my compaq presario laptop. The usb cord was disconnected for 60 seconds.

Try working through this support document. it walks through resetting the power module and testing it. It also includes a video which is very helpful.

HP PSC 1315 All-in-One - Printing ALL Documents in Faded Pink

I am not sure how old this printer is and it has never been fantastic, but it would at least work. I returned from winter break after about 3 or 4 weeks and the printer was printing in faint purple/pink. I thought this had to do with an empty ink cartridge so I bought a new 27 by hp and it didn't resolve anything. I have looked for solutions online, but to no avail. Also, my printer does not have the "clean print cartridges" function that many websites suggest. I tried downloading the drivers and software for this printer and it told me that the install program didn't have access to the registry, don't know why. I just want to be able to print my word documents in black again. Please, any help will be appreciated.

What program are you printing from? It would appear your are printing in graphics mode (rather then black text) and that your printer is running out of cyan ink.

Tearing my hair out trying to install a HP all in one printer

Hi there I have a HP all in one Deskjet f2280 and I keep getting an error
"an error occurred while trying to add the selected printer, error -50"
I can't add a printer and I've installed and reinstalled the software???
I contacted Hewlett Packard and they've said it was an apple problem, does anyone know what I can do?
thanks

Welcome To  Discussions Jellybean100!
If you installed the driver/software, from a CD, uninstall it, then download & install from here HP Deskjet F2280 All-in-One Printer, instead.

Blinking Lights on Panel on HP C7280 All In One Printer

What does it mean when all the lights on the pnel keep on blinking? It is a HP C7280 All In One Printer. And it does print fine. I did talk to a Tech at Besy Buy who indicated that it is a major problem and not worth fixing. Please advise and thanks!
Cheryl Saba

Hi Cheryl - Do you see an error message on the display of the printer? One of the first things to do would be to reset the printer. Try following these steps:
Without turning off the product, disconnect the USB cable from the rear of the product.
NOTE:
The USB cable connects to the port on the back of the product. The port is labeled with the USB icon ( ).
Figure 2: Example USB connection (your product might not look exactly the same as this example)
Remove the cartridges from the product.
Wait for the 'Insert Cartridges ' message to display on the control panel.
Disconnect the power cord from the back of the product.
Wait 60 seconds.
Reconnect the power cord. If the product does not automatically turn on, press the Power button ( ).
Reinsert the cartridges, and then close any open doors on the product.
If you receive a prompt to print a calibration page, do so.
Reconnect the USB cable to the rear of the product, and then try printing again.
Hopefully the reset will resolve the problem.

Hp officejet pro 8500 premier all-in-one printer

The above printer is 1 1/2 years old and it has stopped printing. When the printing became light, I installed new print cartridges less than a week ago. Now, after five days, the printer is consistently cleaning the print heads and aligning the print heads and my documents are not being printed. And, what is most frustrating, during all the cleaning and aligning, all of my new ink is gone and I'm receiving a message replace ink cartridges.
Re: Problem with HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer: cleans printheads every time it's turned on
Options
08-24-2011 06:34 PM
Well,
to this is say, "get used to it", or throw it away. Many, Many, Many people have had trouble with this printer.
The following are common and frustrating issues that this printer exhibits on a regular basis:
1. Constant Self-Checking (usually every 20-30 pages of print)
2. Very persistant Printhead Cleaning/Checking, (Every startup and after about 20-30 pages printed).
3. Worn-out printheads (usually within 1,100 to 1,500 pages printed).
4. Paper mis-feeds.
5. Paper jams.
6. Nearly impossible to use once the printer reports ink-depletion.
7. Nearly impossible to use CIS Ink for larger print jobs.
8. Ink and printheads "expire" regardless of when they are placed into service. (get a deal on ink or printheads last year? Too bad, the warranty is already expired, most likely).
In short, this printer is the most EXPENSIVE printer I've ever owned, and the most frustrating to use.
I have just over 2,000 pages of regular text printed matter with very little color, and have already gone through 4 sets of ink, and 2 sets of PrintHeads.
Although it's true that you can leave the unit on, and let it go into standby, you should NOT be punished with constant and time-consuming "self-checking" everytime it's turned on, or prints a handful of pages, BUT, it does NOT appear that HP will be standing behind this printer disaster. AND, to make things worse, they've gone on to redesign it, giving it a different look, and so there are about 6 different models/versions of the OfficeJet Pro 8500.
Anyone needing a reliable print/fax/scan/copy solution should look beyond this printer, because it will leave you wanting more, and spending more than you ever imagined you would have to on a late model printer.ro
What is going on? Why does it just automatically clean and align? I also get alignment failed messages. Any suggestiions?

rammerjammer,
Thank you for bringing this to my attention, your feedback is very important and I want to do my best to help. To answer what is going on, since the printing became light, started cleaning itself constantly, and fails the alignment, the printhead was damaged. Click here to see and use the Limited Warranty for HP Ink Cartridges, Printheads, and Related Supplies. There are many ways to contact HP. The number to call is 1-800-474-6836 for HP and Compaq products for Home & Home Office use. If you no longer have a warranty with the printer you can still use the warranty that comes with the printhead or ink cartridges.
If you have a carepack with the printer that extended the one year warranty then the troubleshooting will be covered along with the printer if the printer needs replacing. Check product warranty here, see HP Out of Warranty Support Options for Select HP Consumer Printers here.
To order a new printhead you can go to HP Sure Supply and enter your printer or go to the HP Parts Store and order the printhead by part number C4900A for the Black and yellow and part number C4901A for the Cyan Magenta. These printheads go by region also so be sure you are using the right region, these were found using the United States region.
The HP Officejet Pro 8500 Premier All-in-One printer has separated the ink cartridges from the printheads. The ink cartridges are on the lower left and the removable print heads are on the carriage inside the printer. The printer goes through a calibration process when turned on that will use ink. Leave the printer on and let it go into stand by mode. This type of printer is energy star efficient and made to calibrate on start up and be left on. Allow the printer to clean or calibrate only if the printer must. If it starts cleaning a lot it may be time to do a little maintenance to the printer (recommend once a month for maintenance). Please see the following links for further details.
Cleaning the Printhead Contacts
Printer Paper Tears, Wrinkles, or is Damaged while Printing from the All-in-One
Paper Path Issues in the Automatic Document Feeder
Officejet Pro 8500 User Guide
The printer has a duty cycle of 7.5k page/month. The XL cartridges have a composite page yield of 1.4k pages with about a third of the black ink left over. To me it would seem that the printhead should last somewhere in between. This printer was designed to save money on ink compared to the rest of the officejets. I hate that it has been causing so much trouble, hopefully the information I provided will help.

!!!!!!!!!! HP C4180 ALl-IN-ONE printer ON a 175X external jetdirect printserver ISSUES

Hi,
its my first post here,   so HELLO to all
i recently bought a printserver,   its a Hp 175x USB external jetdirect printserver (can these names be any longer pfff)
And my all in one printer is a HP C4180 .
I hooked everything up, all lights are sollid as they are supposed to be, so no issues there. If i press the testpage button
It prints a nice page on the printer, so all works from printserver to printer.
BUT, when i try to print anything from my PC it doenst work.
I tried running the CD and it cant find the printer in the network.
I DOUBLE CHECKED ALL WIRES
What can i do to make everything work??
The purpose is to be able to use the abbilities (sorry for the crappy english, im belgian)
of the all in one printer in the entire house, which are about 4-5 PC's.
So they all have to be able to print and scan.
HELP PLEASE

Hello,
Generally Print Servers are designed to be used for printing purpose. However in certain cases, we can use the EWS to complete the scan process.
Here is a link to the old forum which discusses the procedure to scan from the EWS.
http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?admit=109447627+1298994065288+28353475&...
My suggestion is to get to get a network AIO to get complete functionality.

HP Deskjet 3050A All-in-one printer J611 series - mavericks and wireless set up

Hi
I have a HP Deskjet 3040A All-in-one printer J611, I have had this printer for about 2years and everything worked perfect then I bought an Apple still all was alright but when I updated my software I got Mavericks and ever since then everything went wrong....I have updated my computer and have AirPrint now and also HP ePrint(currently). How ever the printer was not working or connecting.
Problem 1:
When I tried to fix the problem I uninstalled all HP drivers to reinstall - found that you have to install the apple app Done!(Airprint)
The printer was picked up by the computer and I can scan but I can not print, I'm using the USB cable, and when I print the computer shows it is printing and the printers lights come on but nothing happens(no messages display on the printer) then the computer shows the print is done - but the printer didn't print. Scan is working fine.
Problem 2:
Because of constant problems with the wireless connection I wanted to reconnect it to the router - Restore default.
But now because I don't have the HP drivers, I have no idea how to connect it and I tried both connection ways WPS is not working when I press it on the route...nothing happens and the PIN, where are you suppose to enter the pin, nothing comes up on my computer (USB connected)
I have read the installation pages over and over but can't figure out what is wrong, any advice would be appreciated.
This question was solved.

Hi Lilly4,
I can certainly help you get the printer on the network and working again.
Follow the steps in this thread to put the printer on the network without using the software or the WPS button. I believe we have success doing it this way.
If you continue to experience an issue after the printer is on the network, please let me know. Thanks.
Hope this helps.

Cant WiFi connect HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer to internet

I cant WiFi connect HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer to internet... at least I think that is the problem. I have followed all the instructions on HP Print and Scan Doctor as well as Troubleshoot HP Installation Failure. My router is running fine for everything else and I have entered the static address for the printer into the router. It appears that my printer believes it is connected to my WiFi (Ihave WPS it multiple times), but when I type it's IP address into my IE nothing shows up. My router doesn't appear to see the printer either. I have the latest driver installed on my computer. I suspect this may be a router issue: new router Asus Double 450 Mbps N Router (Dual band - but it appears my router is using the 2.4Hz band to communicate with WPS). Windows 7 64.
Any help is appreciated!

Hello NRHII,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're unable to connect the Officejet 8600 over a wireless connection. I will do my best to assist you! I would recommend power cycling the router, printer and computer:
1) Turn off your printer
2) Disconnect the power cord from the back of the router
3) Restart your computer
4) Wait less than 60 seconds, plug the power cord back into the router
5) Turn your printer back on, wait for the computer to turn on
Is the wireless light blinking on your printer? If so, please reconnect the wireless on your printer by using the wireless setup wizard: (This information is stated here.)
On the printer touch screen, touch the Right Arrow ( ) to display the second navigation screen.
Touch the Setup icon ( ).
Touch Network , touch Wireless Setup Wizard , and then touch Continue . The printer searches for available networks.
Touch the name of your network, and then touch OK .
If prompted, enter the network password, and then touch OK . The printer connects to the network.
Also, as I was typing this post TreeFrog posted some great information to follow.
Have you followed this entire HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection? If not, follow this document. Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.
Have a great day!

Printing 4x6 pics using the hp 1410 all in one printer

Printer hp 1410 all in one
OS Windows 2003
Computer Dell
Pictures downloaded from the internet and saved into "my pictures"
I am currently trying to print using 4X6 glossy advanced HP photo paper. I go to print I select paper size 4x6 with tab. On paper quality I select "other photo paper" as advanced photo paper is not an option(which I was directed to do so on the box of photo paper). I changed the width guide and put photo paper with tabs facing me and hp symbol up. The paper goes in half way and then the "check paper' light comes on. The picture paper jams and there is no ink on the paper. I have referenced the user guide and I am following all instructions to a tee but to no avail. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Printer hp Photosmart C3180 all in one
OS Windows XP Pro
Computer Dell Optiplex 745
Photo is JPEG on my computer
I'm having a similar problem with hp c3180 all in one printer, trying to print on 4X6 photo paper. I assumed it was because the back rollers were needing cleaned since that's always where the photo paper gets stuck (can't make the bend), so I did as I'd found in instructions elsewhere and cleaned those rollers with distilled water on clean, lint-free cloth. Didn't help, still jams there in the back every time. Printer thinks it's working OK sometimes, goes ahead and "prints" without getting any of the ink onto the photo paper since it's stuck there in the back and doesn't advance past that point. Very frustrating, can't get even one photo to print.

Power problem with my 4620 all in one printer / scanner / fax

Hi,
My problem is this. I have a 4620 all-in-one printer / scanner / fax. However, I have discovered this problem.
Scenario:
The printer hasn't been used for a day or two but is plugged in still with the light above the power cord on. I want to print a word doc or whatever. I click print. I obtain a message that the computer (via wifi) can't communicate with the printer. Pressing the Power on button on the printer interface doesn't work.
My solution, I have to disconnect the power supply from the printer, then reconnect and then press the Power On button.
This isn't normal I think. I don't think for one minute that I should have to go and disconnect and reconnect the power suppy for it to print etc.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance!!

HP C7200 All-in-One printer will not print through the Wifi network

I have used the HP printing and scanning Doctor but none of the proposed solutions have solved the problem. The blue light for wirelwss 802.11g service is on and connected to the same Wifi address as my laptop is using now. My Dell laptop is running Windows 7 and the printer works if I use the USB connection instead of the Wifi. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the community @Larrypat
I understand your printer is not connecting wireless and only connecting USB. I have some questions and ideas for you that should help. Let's get to it!
Could you please remove the USB cable, run the Print and Scan Doctor again and send me a screen shot of the results from running the diagnostic tool?
Also let me know which model from the C7200 series you have:
HP Photosmart C7250 All-in-One Printer
HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One Printer
HP Photosmart C7288 All-in-One Printer
Try power cycling the network devices:
Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer. Run the Print and Scan Doctor afterwards and try printing.
Let me know how it goes and the results
