How to stop print head cleans?

I have a B110A printer. Each time I install new ink, turn on or wake up the printer from sleep, it spends over 5 minutes doing some sort of set up. Most of all, the installation of new ink gets reduced significantly before I do any printing. This is obviously the print heads working without my permission. Is there any way I can disable this? I only want to run print head cleans when I choose.

Hi @Doorway,
Welcome to the HP Forums! 
I understand that you are wondering if the printhead cleaning can be disabled with your HP Photosmart Wireless B110A printer. I am happy to answer this for you!
Please see this guide, Ink Usage in Inkjet Printers, for more information.
This is a routine function of the printer, in order for the printheads not to be clogged. It cannot be disabled.
Hope this answers your question, and thank you for posting!

    HI Swati,
    Thanks for the additional info. as per previously mentioned use SM37 - however be sure to check the box ''Sched' when performing the search for the job in question (and untick the others so the resulting list will be clearer to read etc.)
    You can then choose to delete the job and reschedule it to different periods via SM36
    Best of luck,

  • How to stop printer icon staying in dock everytime i print

    hi all
    basically i want to know to stop how to stop printer icon staying in dock everytime i print
    whenever i print it stays there, and doesnt disspear everytime automatically

    When you print your next document, right click or control click on the printer icon in the Dock. This will provide you with a menu of options. One of them is Auto Quit. Select it. Quit the printer queue and then print another document. The printer "app" will now quit after a successful print.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I control automatic print head cleaning every time my Officejet Pro 8500A Premium starts up?

    In general we really like our new Officejet, but we're very frustrated by the automated start up procedure.  Every time we turn it on it does a self check and then cleans the print heads.  It's bothersome for two reasons: 1) We want to print quickly, not wait for 5 minutes.  2) We're worried that all this cleaning is using up our valuable ink.
    We recently had to replace all the color print cartridges, and I think one cause for the other's depletion was all this cleaning.
    We're using HP cartridges.
    It's possible that this printer is intended for an office environment where it just stays on 24x7.   For our occasional use, we normally turn it on when we need it and turn it off when we're done. If the power consumption is low enough (less than 5 watts) I'd consider leaving it on as a possible work-around.
    I did my best to search FAQ and postings to see whether there was already an answer to this issue - but couldn't find one.
    This question was solved.

  • How to prevent print head clog up and B200 Error ?

    I just went through a horrid time getting rid of a B200 error due to the printer head clog up.  I had to soak the head for at least one hour in a solution of warm water  and a bit of oxy clean to get the printer to work again. I almost gave up and was at the point of buying a new printer .
    My question is :  How to prevent this from happening again especially during 2 to 3 week vacations when the printer is turned off?
    Tks

    Hi sportflyer,
    There isn't a way to prevent a B200 error.  If you do encounter the error again, it is recommended that you contact live technical support . There is NO charge for this call.  Please dial 1-866-261-9362, Monday - Friday 10:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. ET (excluding holidays).

  • HP 8500 won't give the option to perform a third level print head cleaning

    I'm not sure why I care since every time I clean the heads the printer is actually worse but the printer never gives me the option to go to level three cleaning.
    The steps
    * Go to clean print head option in the menu
    * Printer goes through cleaning process possibly being momentarily interuppted by the check device process
    * printer goes to aligning printer because no matter what is printed it always goes to aligning printer afterward 
    * printer fails align and I hit ok
    * printer allows the me to start the second level of cleaning and I start it
    * repeat from 2nd step
    I'm never given the option to go to the third level.
    I have a nice 20 minute video of this. and that's only one cycle....
    This happened before and after I updated to the latest firmware.
    In regards to my first statement.  I started cleaning the print heads because the magenta stopped printing and after cleaning heads several times no colors or black print anymore.  I few days later somehow the printer started prininting again very poor quality and again no magenta so again cleaning the heads caused it to stop printing at all.

    Hey @Taylor2813,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you're experiencing print quality issues with your HP Officejet 8500 All-in-One. I would like to work with you today. I did want you to be aware that it is generally not a good idea to run many cleans on your product. Level 1 and Level 2 just run a similar cleaning process. If you want to run a third level cleaning you could manually go into the menu on the printer and simply run another clean. Because the cleaning process uses ink to flush the ink system on your product, should you need to run a third clean on the product be aware that it will be just using a lot of ink for the process. Generally the rule of thumb is: should the first clean and second clean not make a difference don't continue as it will just waste ink.
    Because the cleans you have been running up to this point have made no difference and actually caused your issue to become worse, I do believe that your issue actually lies with your printheads. You have two printheads in your printer. One is the Black and Yellow and the other is the Cyan and Magenta. They control the ink going on your paper. If the Printheads are defective you will experience print quality issues. If the issue just affects Magenta than you may just have a defective Magenta printhead (should a new Magenta cartridge not resolve your issue). However, if the issue affects all colours and black than it would be a defect with both printheads.
    For your reference I will include the Print Quality Troubleshooting document for both versions of the Officejet 8500 series:
    HP Officejet Pro 8500A A910a: Fixing Print Quality Issues
    HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a: Fixing Print Quality Issues
    In both of those documents you can see that should the cleaning not resolve the issue after 3 attempts than it is time to replace one or both printheads.
    Should you want to look into ordering printheads I suggested calling our Technical Support.

  • HP 6940 print head cleaning in Win7

    I have an HP 6940 which was originally installed on my XP system. I now have moved the printer to my WIN7 Professional system but no longer have access to the toolbox to clean the print heads. Is there anyway to install the toolbox on the WIN7 system?

    I have the same issue too. The driver is built in to Win 7 so there's no toolbox or HP software. How do we get the cleaning and maintenance features installed on Win 7?

  • F4180 Print Head Cleaning

    I've seen posts regarding the removal and cleaning of out of warranty print heads and was hoping someone could direct me to instructions for removing the print head for cleaning on the F4180.
    I am on my THIRD black cartridge which prints as if there is no ink in it. When I returned the first, the store probably thought I was cracked (returning an empty in the new box??). I thought perhaps there was a run on bad cartridges, but maybe it is the print head?
    I almost purchased a different brand printer today while getting yet another cartridge.
    Thanks!

    I'm having the same basic problem, except that cleaning the print heads does not solve the problem.  I've changed the black ink cartridge/head twice now with no improvement.
    HP customer service has been no help at all - my printer is an HP Officejet Pro 5400.  The last HP printer I will buy, I think.
    PC magazine and other online sources are giving HP printers lousy reviews.  I may buy a Canon this weekend and junk the Officejet Pro 5400.

  • Printer head cleaning

    I cannot use the menu on the inkjet printer itself as it tells me that the black ink needs replacing.  Light keeps flashing and I have tried multiple ways to correct this; just replaced the ink cartridge.
    If I try to use the menu on the computer, when I click on Maintenance tasks, a screen titled "printer preferences" comes up.
      I read that you can clean printer heads by removing from the printer and soaking in water, but I don't think I can remove the print heads from our printer.  It is an HP D7100.
    This is the second time I have posted these problems.  Can anyone help me?

    Hi @regeaston,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that your HP D7100 keeps saying the black needs replacing, and the light keeps flashing. I am happy to help!
    I would recommend to look through these guides:
    Ink Cartridges Empty.
    'Problem with Printhead,' 'Printer Failure,' 'Ink System Failure,' or a '0x...' or a 'C2...' Error M....
    If the guides do not work, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Country-language selector.

  • How to stop printing GR/GI slip only from COGI transaction ?

    Hello friends,
    We want that when error condition is cleared in COGI, and GR or GI is posted, there should not be any GR/GI slip printing.  Is there any way to stop printing them only from COGI Txn (but allow printing from other material movement Txn)?  Kindly help.  Thanks.

    Chetan,
    Basically it invloves creation of a routine using transaction VOFM and assigning it to the output type.
    There are a number of messages in this forum on the subject. Search the forum using "vofm output control". This will give you a general idea on what is required.
    You can also refer to OSS note 327220 - VOFM function and its objects.
    Cheers !

  • How to stop Mozilla to clean LBKTemp_Firefox folder every time when the Firefox is closed?

    I have used an old version of Firefox and XP and everyday I open one file and the firefox add to the file name "-1", "-2", "-3".... but now I am using Windows 7 and Firefox 5.0 and the problem is that this folder LBKTemp_Firefox was cleaned every time when I close Firefox. How can I stop this?

    Set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
    That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen other tabs.
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore#Restoring_a_session_after_a_crash
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

  • How to stop user profiles clean-up job from deleting Active users.

    Hi,
    Somehow bunch of active users profile are marked for deletions and their managers have received email saying it will be deleted in X days.
    I know if we disable My Site Clean Up Job, it will not delete any profiles. But I want that job to continue running and stop active user profiles from getting deleted.
    How do I proceed here...
    Thanks,
    Abhilash

    Hi Abhilash,
    I understand SharePoint 2010 MySite clean up timer job is deleting active user profiles.
    Firstly, I need to confirm with you that the timer job will work on below two situations:
    1.When you use the web UI in Central Administration to delete a user profile
    2.When a user who was included in a previous user profile import is no longer included in the import. 
    The second point bears a little more explanation, please refer to How Is A User Profile Deleted?
    in the article below:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kaevans/archive/2012/06/25/top-recommendations-for-managing-the-my-site-cleanup-timer-job.aspx
    Let me know if you situation is not included in the above two.
