HP deskjet 2512 all-in-one/ "alignment failed"

I installed new HP ink cartridges (61XL) in my 2512 all-in-one printer. When I try to do the alignment (multiple times), I get the on-screen message, "alignment failed". Printer will print, but not correctly. Anyone have a solution?

HP Deskjet 2512 All-in-One Printer vs. Deskjet 1000 = Same internal mechanisms???

Any one know if the HP Deskjet 2512 All-in-One Printer and the Deskjet 1000 have the same internal gears and printing mechanisms ?
The 1000 is a pure printer with no scanner, copier etc. The 2512 visually looks the same as the 1000 but does scans, etc. Just $15.00 difference in price at Walmarts.
The HP 1000 gears grind away when I print a magnetic sheet of 8 1/2 x 11" and will skip printing on different place on magnetic sheet.
I was wondering if it would do me any good to go up a notch to the 2512 to print said magnetic sheets?
Thanks in advance - Michael

Hello michaelforsure,
You could check out the specs for the 2512 to see the thickness of what it will successfully print. You could compare that to the thickness of the magnetic sheets and see if it is compatible.
Please let me know if this helps.
Good luck!

Deskjet F4500 all in one can't comminicate wirelessly.

I have an HP Deskjet F4500 all in one wireless printer that I have tried to install on my home network. I used the CD that came with it to install and the computer tells me that it has installed properly. However when sending a document to print, although the small window tells me that the document is printing and then that window goes away, a few minutes later another window appears and tells me that the document failed to print. Some times it tells me that the cartridges need alignment so i go through the procedure and nothing happens; at other times it tells me that there is no communication between the computer and the printer, stil some other tomes it tell me that the printer is offline.
I know the printer is on line by using my NirSoft Wireless Network watcher which lists the computer and the printer and the other computers on the network.
I did uninstall printer using Revo Uninstaller rebooted and then installed the printer again. Checked for software updates from HP. Used the HP Installation Failure guide from HP. Checked the IP address of the printer through the Browser on the computer and it opened the connection with the printer and its properties verifiedthe key on the Security (WPA2) on the router which is a Wireless Broadband Router, verified the MAC address in the MAC filter feature. The printer still does not respond to the printing command same messages back. Computer running Win XP Pro SP3 with all its updates. AMD 64 Processor. 2GB RAM. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated to solve this problem.

OK, now insert the printer CD and run the installer, selecting "Network" installation when it asks. Make sure to NOT have the USB cable installed between your printer and PC when you start the installation. It will ask you to temporarily install the USB cable during the installation.

HP Deskjet F2120 all in one printer driver not installing after upgrading to Windows 7

I have a HP Deskjet F2120 all in one printer. I was working fine in Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
Once I upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit the driver is failing to install.
I have tried all the solutions provided on the HP website but none of them worked.
I also wrote a mail to HP support but they replied that its out of warranty hence they will not be able to help.
If some genius can help me I will pray for him/her that all his/her wishes come true.
Thanks you in advance.
Imroz Baig

I just got my HP Deskjet F2120 working in Windows 7. Here's how:
Insert the setup disk in your CD/DVD drive. Choose to view the files in Explorer. Scroll down to the file "Setup," which is identified as an application.
Right-click the file and select "Properties." Click the "Compatibility" tab at the top of the resulting window.
Check off "Run this program in compatability mode for:" and choose "Windows Vista" from the pop-up menu.
ALSO check "Run this program as administrator" at the bottom of the window.
Press "Apply," then "OK."
Now you can double-click the "Setup" file and run the software installer.
It will 100% work inshallah...

HP DeskJet 1050 ALL-IN-ONE J410 series Printer Scanner stopped working suddenly

About a month back Scanner in my printer-scanner (DeskJet 1050 All-In-One J410 series) stopped working with a message on screen " HP Deskjet 1050 J410 series was not found". But the Printer was working fine. I have so far taken following steps with results against each -
a) HP Print & Scan doctor (HPPSdr.exe) showed HP Twain Scan faulty.
b) On advice from HP helpline, tried HP Deskjet Full Feature Software & Drivers (DJ1050_J410_1313.exe). It required uninstalling before installing. But uninstalling failed to happen.
c) Finally, with HP Printer Install Wizard (hppiw.exe) help it showed that Full Feature HP Software & Drivers is now installed. For its functionality, it called for its testing on 'print test page' and 'test scan'. After this, printer shows printing jobs in queue but will not print. At present it is limited to photocopying only without printing & scanning.
d) I am caught in a loop, because at the end of hppiw.exe message is '...if tests are not successful, HP recommends using HPPSdr.exe to diagnose and fix any problem' i.e. back to point (a) above.
Any solution to the above problem?

Deskjet F4435 All in One Scanner undetected, not working

I have Mac O S X 10.6.8, and the deskjet F4435 all in one. My printer is working fine. I am having issues with the scanner. I open the scanner and it gives an error message, "Failed to open session on the device." I already uninstalled all the hp software and reinstalled it. The scanner used to work by using photosmart, scan, except now it searches for device and doesn't detect it. Please help me fix this problem.

Hello @computerilltrit , welcome to the forums!
I saw your message, and I am hoping I have a fix for the issue you are having with scanning on 10.6. Below are the steps I would recommend that you try, and also do them in order they are written.
Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
Repair disk permissions
Restart the Mac
Download and install the Full Feature Driver here which contains scan software: HP Deskjet Full Feature Software and Drivers - Mac OS X v10.4, v10.5, and v10.6
Try scanning from the HP software and you should be able to scan, fingers crossed!
Let me know what happens!

Printing problem with HP deskjet 3050 all in one J610 series

I have a HP deskjet 3050 all in one J610 series which I am using with Windows Vista Version 6.0 (Build 6006: Service pack 2). Connecting is by USB port. I have not used the printer for some time, but have done all the maintence checks & it is good to go. When I want to print a letter the only thing that gets printed is the email address which is coloured blue. I think the problem is in the settings of the printer features. I can print the letter in gray scale but this is not easy to read and not suitable for business dealings.
I would appreciate help with this problem. A definition of the terms used in the printer features might help me resolve it by my self.
Thanks

Hello @Tellen,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I understand you are running into some print quality problems with your HP Deskjet 3050. I see when you attempt to print a letter you will only see the email address and its in blue ink.
First I would like you to click here to download and run the Print and Scan Doctor > www.hp.com/go/tools- It was designed by HP to provide users with the troubleshooting and problem solving features needed to resolve many common problems experienced with HP print and scan products connected to Windows-based computers.
What does the PSDR find? If you are still not getting black text, please continue here: Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Deskjet 3050 (J610) All-in-One Printer Series
If after the troubleshooting has been done and you are still seeing the issue leave me with the following information:
1. What is your current Operating system, Windows or Mac and which version?
2. How is the printer connected, USB or Wireless?
3. If you print a test page from the front panel do you see the same issue?
I hope to hear from you soon.

Is it possible to connect HP DESKJET 1510 All-in-One series Wireless printer without USB cable?

my mom recently bought me the HP DESKJET 1510 All-in-One series so i have an at home printer for school work. but when we bought it we did not know there was a certain USB that had to connect to the printer. so we bought the wrong one. now i have a project due and i cannot print. we have a small USB that fits it but its hard to connect it to the computer and printer because its so small. so if we can have it sent to the printer without the USB that would be perfect!

Hi,
No, in many cases printers won't come with USB cables. You need a cable which is similar to the following one:

Scanner not working hp deskjet 1510 all in one

Hi.. i have hp deskjet 1510 all in one printer, at first all are working so well. but after 3 days scanner is not working. Everytime i try to scan "hp series not found" will appear. I also tried the print and scan doctor but it shows Hp twain scan error.

Pls help me to fix this one. Thank you...

Hi jkshipra22,
Thank you for your reply! For further assistance I will need to know:
If the printer is able to make copies by itself. Copy Text or Mixed Documents.
If the power cable plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
In the meantime, please try our HP Print and Scan Doctor, and let me know what happens.
Hope to hear from you, and have a nice day!

DESKJET 3050 All-in-one J610 wont do anything

I have a Deskjet 3050 All-In-One J610 Series that won't do anything. I can't get it to print, scan, copy. I have unplugged the power while it was turned on trying to reset the machine but it did nothing for my problem. I know it is not an ink issue because the printer will print out the onboard game pages but that is all it will do. Anybody have any suggestions? Thank you
