HP C6180 All in One Not Printing on the Network

I have 3 wireless laptops and an HP C6180 on a wireless network. This week all 3 computers had issues intermittently trying to print. The print job would go to the que, but then it would just be an error and not print. Now today, none of the laptops have been able to print. I tried to connect to the wireless network with the printer an it did find the wifi sometimes and did not other times. (Oh, and it's not about it being too far away, they were right next to eachother). I actually plugged an ethernet cord into it and it did the same thing. So, I assume there may be an issue with the wireless, but I can't print when is wired with an ethernet cable either. I am completely stumped. Been working on this issue for about 5 hours now, and figured I would just post it here. If anyone has any idea what this could be, please let me know. Also, 2 computers are Vista, 1 is XP. No changes have been made to any of them lately.

If you can connect with an Ethernet cable, do so and turn off the wireless function of your printer. Only have one connection method live at any one time or things will get very confusing.
OK, once you choose your connection method, it will be best if you can set a static IP address for the printer (outside the DHCP range).

How to get our HP Officejet 7310 All-in-One to print using the network option

The network printing initially stopped working on Win XP. I now use Win 7 Enterprise.
I have uninstalled the printer from my PC, restarted the machine, went through the add new printer device wizard and still no network printing capability.
I currently use the workaround of the USB connection for printing from one PC.

Have you tried running the Network Diagnostics tool to see if your printer is on the network.
The tool is Here

HP psc 950 all-in-one is printing half the page...cuts off the top portion of what I am printing.

HI! My HP psc 950 all-in-one is printing half the page....cuts off the top portion of what I am printing. Not sure what happened to the printer. Came home one day and the printing wasn't the same. Possibly the kids could have fiddled with it but no one is owning up to it. Any solution to get the printer printing normal again?
Thanks

HP Officejet 5610 All-in-One not printing true colours

The HP help people have finally given up on trying to make my Mac see the Color Options tab in their print software with my set-up. They now say, "It's an Apple problem". If I could see these settings I'd be able to adjust the HP defaults for print-outs (by saturation, brightness, density, hue, contrast, etc) once and for all so I'd get closer to what I see on screen printed out in front of me. Without them I have to change everything on a trial and error basis each time in Photoshop. I've read about it in the HP manual and seen it work on another (cheaper) HP printer on a similar Intel iMac but with the All-in-One I just get the screen saying "No User Selectable Settings" - which HP say should not be the case. Anyone have any ideas? This screen seems to be vital - unless of course there's a better way of synchronising the perfect image I see on screen with what I get out of this printer?

I have seen this case with hp printers on the intel macs as went the intel macs came out hp's driver release was set for June as that is when the intel macs were suppose to be released i know the new software version 7.9 which is universal fixes all of these issues on the intel based macs.
Just make sure you run the hp uninstaller first HD/Applications/Hewlett Packard

2110 all-in-one not printing all text in documents

My printer has stopped printing all parts of documents. It just seems to skip certain parts of word documents, excel spreadsheets, pdfs, etc. And, if I print the same document more than once, different parts of the document will print, but never the whole thing.

Hi,
I am not sure if you have the F2110 Deskjet All-in-One or the PSC2110 All-in-One, but I think the solution would be the same for either one.
It appears that you might have low ink in your black cartridge. You might want to check ink levels and see if it is low black ink.

HP Photosmart C7280 All in One - not printing

have replaced black & cyan cartridges but still get printer message saying Out of Ink. Have restarted printer and computer, downloaded printer driver, unplugged and reconnected. Control Panel shows cartridges all have ink, but still get Out of Ink in Print menu.

Hi luddite3,
I would like to help you with this. I suggest removing the cartridges and reinstalling them, if an alignment does not begin automatically, I recommend performing an alignment manually. Please follow the instructions below.
Remove the cartridges.
If the alignment page does not print, press the Setup button ( ) on the front screen of the printer
Press the Down Arrow button ( ) to select Tools, and then press OK.
Press the Down Arrow button ( ) to select Align Printer, and then press OK. The product prints an alignment page, aligns the printhead, and then calibrates the product.
After the success or failure message appears on the control panel display, press OK to continue.
If the issue persists, clean the printheads
Open the HP Solution Center, click on settings
Under Print Settings , click Printer Toolbox . The Printer Toolbox opens in a new window.
Click the Device Services tab.
Click Clean the Printhead.
Please let me know if this resolves the issue, I hope it helps.

HP Photosmart e-all-in-one NOT PRINTING for MAC 10.9.2

Hi,
I have a HP Photosmart e-all-in-one wireless that I have been using for my Apple devices (Mac, iphone, ipad) for years and recently it started giving me problems.
First month or so ago, out of nothing the MacBookPro would not see the printer connected, in dispite of been connected to the network. During that time I was able to find it connected from my iphone & ipad. Then I was using to print from these last two.
Now, not even from my iphone & ipad. It seems that printer does not exist at all, coz it always says "printer not connected" on the MacBook and "No AirPrint Printers Found" on the ipad & iphone.
I've noticed that on HP website, the most updated version of the Mac is 10.9 and my devices has 10.9.2 Is this the problem? If so, how can I get by and continue to use the printer? I need to print ASAP.
Thanks,
eb

Deskjet 3056A E-all-in-one not printing black ink properly

Hello, I've had my Deskjet 3056A E-all-in-one printer for 2 years and didn't have any problems until about 3 months ago. My black ink cartridge suddenly stopped printing properly. It started to seem like I needed to replace the ink, so I did, but that did not fix the problem. It still seems like the ink level is really, really low sometimes, but it's a brand new cartridge. I couldn't even align the printhead because the black ink wouldn't print. Then I cleaned the printhead and cleaned the ink smear. When the test papers printed after the cleanings the black ink would only print half of the line of letters or numbers, or it was just choppy and faded. I checked the ink levels and it says both of my ink cartridges are almost full still. I was thinking about replacing the cartridge again, but I don't want to waste the money if it won't fix the problem. The color cartridge works completely fine, just to clarify.

If the black cartridge is in warranty you could contact HP Phone Support

HP 6500 all in one not printing in black and cartridge is full

my printer suddenly stopped printing in black, all other colors come out fine. The carriage moves as though it is printing, but the page is blank, where black text should be. I have cleaned and aligned the print heads several times. This occurred after an HP tech uninstalled and reinstalled my HP software and drivers. Prior to this had problems on and off, but it was easy to run print and scan to repair it. Now print and scan says they find no problem with the printer.

Hey @Theresalbritt,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are not able to print in black ink on your HP Officejet 6500 All-in-One Printer. I would like to assist you today with resolving this print quality issue. Thank you for including the troubleshooting steps you have completed prior to reaching out for support. To start troubleshooting I am going to have you print a standalone Print Quality Diagnostics Report from your printer. This report will help us determine if this issue was caused by a software or driver conflict on your computer or a hardware issue on your printer that coincidentally occured when the HP Technical Support agent was working with you. Once we determine if this issue is hardware or software and driver related I will be happy to guide you towards a solution. Please follow the steps below.
How to Print Quality Report:
On the product control panel, press the Setup button () until Print Report displays, and then press OK.
Press the Right Arrow button () to select Print Quality Report, and then press OK. The report prints.
If this report prints perfectly: Than the issue that you're experiencing is not hardware related. Rather, there is a driver or software conflict occuring on your computer that is affecting your black print quality. Please do not proceed with troubleshooting at this time.
If this report prints with quality defects or missing black: Than the quality issue that you're experiencing is being caused by a hardware issue within your printer. This issue may be due to a defective Printhead system. In no way does the computer affect this hardware issue. To resolve this conflict can I please have you click here. Once the support document opens please run through Solution one, Solution five, and Solution six. This includes any sub-steps under the listed Solutions. However, because you note that you have already cleaned the Printhead multiple times do not run a Printhead cleaning again. You do not want to exceed three Printhead cleans if there is no difference in quality because when you clean the Printhead ink is used. If three cleans has not resolved your issue proceeding with additional cleans will just waste ink. Should the black printing issue persist please click here and run Step 7 and Step 8 to manually clean and soak the Printhead mechanism.
Please respond to this post with the result of your print quality troubleshooting. Good luck!

HP 4300 All-in-one not printing double sided

Hello
Here is my setup. I have a HP 4300 All-in-one printer set up on a network. There are two computers on this network, and XP and a vista. The printer is installed on the XP, and the vista accesses the printer via the LAN network (Wired, not wireless).
Here's the problem: When, on the vista computer, I try to manually print on both sides, the only option I get in the "Print on both sides" option in properties is "off." However, on the XP I get the option to do it manually.
Is there anything I can do to enable the "manual" option on the vista?
Thanks.

I'm having the same problem expect with different operating systems and printers. I have a HP Deskjet D1455 that's wired to a laptop with Vista x32. I have another laptop connected to that printer wirelessly that has Windows 7 x64. On the laptop that's connected to the printer, I can print double sided with 4 different options. However, I cannot with my laptop that's connected wirelessly through printer sharing.
At first, it looks like I can do it but once I select "Manual" it disappears and turns off. Any ideas?

7210 all in one, not printing properly

When printing it only prints half of the text (as you see now, but the bottom half of the words missing) i called an engineer out of the yellow pages and he said that there was a design fault with this all in one printer. Something to do with the pin in the print cartgidge area. He also said that this particular model of printer was recalled. Can you help?

Hello Spottydog,
The issue maybe with the cartridge ink or with the hardware of the printer. Let me provoide you the web document which will help us to resolve the issue.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=us&docname=c00242768&dlc=en&product=391153
Open the above web link to an web document, follow the steps in the web document and print an self diagnostic page, then let us know the result how it printed or if the page is also missing the bottom text and then ink levels of the cartridges.
If the diagonistic page is not printed fine then the issue is with the hardware of the All-in-One printer.

C8180 All in one not printing

I have a C8180 All in one that I can print an alignment paste from the desktop but nothing else. Running on Vista home premium.

HI ,
I noticed that you're experiencing issues when printing to your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Printer. I understand that the trouble started when you got a new computer. I would like to look into this for you today. We're looking at the possiblity that the new computer is interfering with the printer's IP Address on the Network. Let's see, if we can identify the cause. I see that you mentioned in your post, Wireless and Wired connection. How is the printer connected? (Ethernet/Wireless) Here's a document I would recommend that you try, An 'Unable to Find Printer' Error Displays for the HP Officejet Pro 251dw, 276dw, and 8600 Printer Series.
Try the HP Print and Scan Doctor to help identify and fix common problems when installing or using HP s on your home network. What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages). Note: You might need to follow this guide for both of the computers. I recommend following it to the end, and then try printing from both machines.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. I look forward to hearing from you. Good Luck!
