Estimated Ink Level feature in HP Deskjet 2050 J510 printer

Does anyone know why the shortcut of the HP Deskjet 2050 printer no longer has the estimated ink level feature? It was there until 12/5/12 and now the entire window has changed. Now it only has the options to "See whats printing", "Customize your printer", and Set preferences". I can.t find any reference to any updates that may have changed this, thus I have no restore point. The only thing that has changed recently is the new version of the HP Support Assistant. Could this have an effect on the printer software?

@rodustep,
The fix for this issue would be to uninstall current software and download the lastest drivers for your printer. I am linking you to the software and driver page just select operating system and select full feature driver.
Deskjet 2050
Let me know how it goes.

Why cant i get printer cartridges for my hp deskjet 2050 j510 printer?

This is a new printer -bought for our small family business as part of HP package.
I have had many HP printers and am a loyal customer.
Few of the main printer cartridge suppliers seem to stock the cartridges for this printer.
I have never encountered this problem before.
Anyone encountered this and solved it?
I am in South East of England

Hi SEBALOGAC,
I don't know why the cartridges are hard to find in your area. Perhaps the stores are limiting their stock in these difficult economic times?
However, you can always order the cartridges online at:

HP Deskjet 3050 All-in-One Printer J610a is printing blank pages

Your HP Deskjet 3050 is printing BLANK PAGES?
The printer ejects blank sheets of paper when printing. Some or all the printed pages might be partially blank or half printed. It can be the software that you are printing from or program. Sometimes it can be the actual print head needs cleaning or cartridges are low.
Here is a link that will provide you with steps that will get the issue resolved. In this document you will have different Operating Systems. (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Mac OS X) Software.

Yes, the link is down.
See if you can print a self-test page or printer status report from the printer itself. If so, then it is a software or connection issue.
If you can print test page, try to use a different USB cable. Also, you can uninstall and re-install the software and drivers.
If you are NOT able to print a test page from the printer, try to clean the cartridges with lint free cloth and water.

Printing blank pages (that aren't actually blank) problem.

I'm having a weird problem with an InCopy file. I'm using Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 2 and InCopy CS3 5.0.3 (and InDesign CS3 5.0.3, although that's not giving me any problems).
I created a series of files for a book in InCopy; each file is a single story. These files are then linked to InDesign layout files (it made sense to the actual content in InCopy, because each of these files will be formatted four separate ways for different book layouts, and I will be updating some of the information quite frequently).
I printed out one file in InCopy to proofread it. As I was looking through, I noticed that certain pages didn't print. When I went back and tried to print them individually, an error popped up telling me that the selected pages were blank, and to select the "print blank pages" option from the print dialog box...except that option doesn't come up anywhere in the dialog box, or under any setting that I can find. This error makes no sense in the first place, as far as I can tell, since if the text displays in layout view, and in preview mode, shouldn't it not be considered blank? Trying to print the pages on a spread with the other pages that printed fine in the first place doesn't change a thing, either. The page that worked initially prints, the one that InCopy claims is blank doesn't.
I tried restarting. I tried copying the offending text into a blank document--which works, if I set the paragraph styles back to basic paragraph (I tried reimporting the paragraph style from InDesign and applying it, and the error came back). I checked to make sure the text wasn't somehow on another, non-printing layer. I checked to make sure that all of the paragraph and character styles were the same as in the printing pages. I tried trashing InCopy preferences. Oddly enough, the InDesign file, with the linked text from this InCopy document, prints just fine, without me checking the "print blank pages" box.
This is driving me crazy. I've only been using InDesign since last winter, and I've only been using InCopy for a few months, so I'm certainly no expert. Am I missing something painfully obvious, or is this a bug, or what?

Hello RED430,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand your Deskjet F4580 is printing blank pages. I will do my best to assist you! I would recommend following this entire HP document on Troubleshooting Print-Quality Issues.
Could you print a extended self test report from your printer to verify if you're receiving any color on this page. Please let me know on this post: (Source)
Make sure you have plain white, letter-size paper loaded in the input tray.
Press and hold the Power button ( ) and the Cancel button ( ) for 10 seconds. The extended self-test report prints.
If this page comes out blank, then I would suggest cleaning the cartridges which is indicated from this document. If this page comes out with all colors, then I need to find out your operating system on your computer? Windows or Mac?
I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!

Dear All, I have a serious issue with my HP Deskjet F2480 All-in-One Colour Ink-jet - Printer / copier / scanner.The thing is that it prints BLANK PAGES. I tried everything from the manualHP Deskjet F2400 All-in-One series:

The ink level is sufficient to print a page - the HP Solution Centerapplication says that 'the actual ink levels may vary' but it shows a tick-mark, which means that everythingshould work. However it still start the process of printing (blank) and blows the page again - blank page. HELP? HOW CAN I RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM? janviv1

932c prints blank pages

I have an old but always reliable, until today, 932c deskjet, tied to a dell e521 Vista (home basic) computer. The printer worked fine yesterday, and now prints blank pages. (Correction -- nearly blank, there are very faint horizontal irregular dashed lines in the "draft" quality setting. If I set the print quality on best, it does appear to print the document to a very slight degree, but still unreadable.) The cartridge indicator is on the far right (the OK position, and there are no blinking lights. In that it was printing very clearly yesterday, I am sure there is ink in the cartridge.
Any ideas? (One last note: given that two new cartridges will be approach the cost of a newer and faster machine, that is one solution that I have considered trying and have ruled out.)
Thanks

Try printing a diagnostic page as shown here. If this page is blank then gently blot the printheads on a damp tissue. The black cartridge should have a dark black blot and the color should show dark stripes of cyan, magenta and yellow. If the cartridges do blot properly but do not print the printer electronics may have failed. If the cartridges do not blot properly then I would suggest returning the cartridges to the printer and running three cleaning cycles from the toolbox. If this does not clear the problem then try soaking the printhead in 1" of very hot water for a few minutes, then blot on a tissue and try a test page.

My brand new HP x451dw only prints blank pages

My brand new HP x451dw only prints blank pages. I have never seen a drop of ink on a page since I have had and set up this printer, even during the set-up process.
All indications suggest that I have configured the printer correctly. I have communication from a variety of computers, ipads, etc. and all will get the correct number of pages to come out of the printer, all pages are blank. Likewise with the printer test page.
There has never been a drop of ink on any page since I took this out of the box.
I do not get any error messages. The printer thinks the ink cartridges are full - they are genuine, and they are full.
Any ideas anyone?

If this just happens from these two programs, it's most likely a driver conflict. If typically using an alternate driver will alow you to get around this. To try this, add the printer's que to the Mac. Click the dropdown next to Use and choose a driver that's not for your printer. Typically the best one to try is another Photosmart dirver, but Deskjet drivers will work as well. I would make the instructions a bit more clear, but I don't have access to a 10.6 Mac. Let me know if this works or not.

My HP Deskjet 2050 J510 can NOT scan for my MBA.

My HP Deskjet 2050 J510 can NOT scan with my MBA. It could not print before I download the printer driver as described in the below link...

After install the printer drive...
Now the printing function works fine, but the scan function won't work. Could anyone give me a suggestion to make both printing and scanner functions work?
Thank you
Bill

Try to re-install the drivers and software for the printer.
You can also try to run the print and scan doctor, and see if it will auto-fix it.
