HP Deskjet F4850 won't print but scans

I just purchased an HP Deskjet F4850. I carried out all of the setup etc on my macbook pro but the printer won't print at all. It only scans when i issue a command to scan but always have an error message in the print queue when a document is sent for printing.
Any help will be very much appreciated.

New Deskjet 3630 won't print or scan

I just bought this thing and when I try to print, it says there is a paper jam and E4 is flashing on the display. There is no paper jam. Going through the suggested fixes [fix paper jam, reinstall drivers] doesn't help. Why should I have to reinstall drivers that I just installed? Also, it will not scan. It says that the scanner is being used by something else. Absurd. I would like to use this freaking thing. It cost money.

Hi , Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are unable to use your recently purchased HP Deskjet 3630, you are getting a 'Paper Jam E4' error message. You have checked for a jam and reinstalled the drivers with no success. Let's go ahead and try a Hard Reset: 1. Unplug all cables and memory cards from the printer. Unplug the power cord, directly from the back of the printer while the printer is still turned on.
2. Unplug the other end of the cord from the power source.
3. If there is a power module on the power cord, disconnect one end and reconnect it.
4. After 60 seconds, plug the cord directly into a wall outlet (not a surge protector or battery backup as they can cause the printer to lose basic functionality over time).
5. Plug the power cord into the back of the printer.
6. The printer should automatically power back up. If it doesn't, turn it on with the power button.
7. Try making a photocopy (if your printer is an all-in-on printer) before connecting any other cables to the printer.
8. Connect any other needed cables to the printer.Are you still getting the error message, if so, I would like you to continue here: An 'E4' Error Displays (Paper Jam), this one focuses more on the cleaning of the hardware than the software. Let me know the outcome, I will watch for your reply. Thanks,

My Deskjet D1660 won't print part of my Word document

Please help me!
Yesterday I struggled for three hours to print black until I found out the cartridge ink was clogged, I cleaned it and that solved it. I've got a HP Deskjet D1660 and my laptop is Windows 7.
But today I was printing part of a Word document (page 24 onwards) and it just printed a couple of pages. It won't print page 26 onwards! printer says there is nothing in the queue and that the printer is ready. I've tried everything I could think of...... please help me; I think the problem is not the printer as it would printer anything else, including other Word documents. It must be something else, I just don't know what! :'(

Hello Moyo1,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
First off, I am glad to hear you have been able to clear the clogged ink jet that was preventing the Photosmart D1660 from printing black. Regarding the current issue, not printing past a set page number, let's try and fix this for you.
Since you have a Windows Operating System, run the HP Print and Scan Doctor. This will look into driver, software and communication problems that could be causing this.
Let me know the results, what passes, fails, etc and I will be looking forward to hearing back from you.
Cheers,

Deskjet 3050 Won't Print Wirelessly

Hi there,
My new all in one 3050 won't print for me. It is "Offline" in the network page. I feel I have explored every avenue and it will still not print. The wireless network configuration page I printed says everything passed. The home network disagnostic tool says "software missing" after i click test connection. The print diagnostic tool fails on connectivity everytime. I can connect to the printer ip 192.168.1.3 in the browser 95% of the time but not always. My router is a Zyxel P-660HW-T1 v3. I'm really close to tears with frustration, I'm quite computer and networking savvy but I cannot fix this. please help, I'd be eternally grateful.
Kind Regards,
Larry.

HP Deskjet 2540 won't print wireless when HP software is installed

I'm trying to set up my 2540 wirelessly on multiple PC's on my network. I can get it working on every one but my main PC (which is Windows 7 Pro). On the others I just "Add Network Printer" and used the windows drivers and didn't install the HP software, and it works fine. But on my main PC I want the scanner and ink levels and all that to work. As soon as I install the HP software and try to print it does nothing (in MS Office it gives the error "printer not ready") and shows 0 Documents pending in the tray.
It does print test pages from the HP Printer assistant, and the EWS, just not any regular windows programs
Print and scan doctor says it's fine. Turning off firewall is no help. Updated the newest driver from the website.
IP Address of printer is static, and ping works
Ping statistics for 192.168.22.230:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 7ms, Maximum = 126ms, Average = 52ms
Printing from mobile (android) works
Also scanning works just fine through the software
Not sure what else to try.
EDIT: now I can't get it to work at all, even after uninstalling the software and trying to Add Network Printer only

Pixma won't print after scanning via USB

My Pixma MG3200 series wireless printer was working fine until I had to scan something. Learned that it won't scan via wireless, so I attached the USB cable that came with the machine, scanned, then removed the cable. Have not been able to print wirelessly since then.
I did find that it was marked to use the printer offline (which matched the message I was getting), so I removed that checkmark. Still no printing. I restarted my laptop and it now says Printer Ready. Still no printing, but it now pops up with Printer Not Responding, and of course all it says in the Print Queue is Error - no explanation or link to assistance. Help!

Hi opus88,
The PIXMA MG3222 can scan wirelessly over your network, however, the IJ Network Scanner Selector EX will need to be running on your computer, and the printer will need to be selected in that program.
We recommend reinstalling the drivers and software for the printer from the Canon USA website to get your printer back online. The following link will take you to the initial download page for your PIXMA MG3222:
PIXMA MG3222 Drivers and Software page
Once on the initial download page for your model, please do the following:
1. Verify that the operating system detected in the "OPERATING SYSTEM" drop-down menu is correct, and if it is not, please click the drop-down menu to select your operating system.
2. Next, please click on the red arrow next to the "RECOMMENDED FOR YOU" section and click the MINI MASTER SETUP file. When you do, another page will appear giving details of the file you are about to download will appear.
3. Please scroll down on the Details page and agree to the terms of the disclaimer message to continue with the download process by clicking on the "I AGREE - BEGIN DOWNLOAD" button. After clicking the "I AGREE - BEGIN DOWNLOAD" button, follow the instructions to download and install the driver. The time for the download process may vary depending on the speed of your Internet connection and the size of the file being downloaded.
Once you have downloaded the drivers for the printer, please follow the steps above to download the Quick Menu and My Image Garden software for the printer. Next, please click the red arrow next to the SOFTWARE section on the webpage to display and download the other software for the printer.
If you are unable to scan wirelessly after reinstalling the drivers and software, you may need to select the printer in the IJ Network Scanner Selector EX and IJ Scan Utility programs. To do this, please follow the steps located at the link below:
PIXMA MG3222 Network Scan Settings
Hope this helps!

Hp deskjet f2180 won't print even when new cartridges are inserted

I require assistance urgently. I have inserted new cartridges into my HP deskjet F2180, but the alert light for the ink keeps blinking, and it won't print at all. Can't even do the maintenance checks such as CLEAN PRINTER HEADS.

Hi , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you're experiencing cartridge issues. I would like to help.
I would recommend removing the ink cartridges, and performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar. I would then recommend utilizing this document on Blinking Lights. Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Deskjet 1010 won't print from pdf or word files

I have a deskjet 1010 printer. I have a toshiba satellite laptop. I have windows 7. i just bought this printer. I can print from the internet no problem, but it will not print anything from a pdf file, microsoft word, or excel. I have reinstalled many times, using the usb, and the disk and the internet. I have installed new drivers, etc. I have tried EVERYTHING. Nothing is working. Please help.

Hello randrinchina,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some printing issue from microsoft word and excel.
I suggest that we start off by running the HP Print and Scan Doctor. If the Doctor fails, please let me know where it fails as well as any error codes that it generates.
Write me back when you have time and I will be happy to help.

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus won't print or scan wirelessly using Mac OS 10.

Mac OS 10.9
Wireless
My printer was working fine until today. Then when I used the control panel to scan a page I went through the steps and got to scanning and got the message I needed to enable "Scan to Computer" in the HP Utility. I went there and it was unchecked. Seems I had this problem every time I did a new scan job in the past. It wouldn't retain than check. So I checked it and after awhile I got the message "Communication Error" and to check my connections and if that didn't work restart my computer and printer. I did that and also restarted the router but it didn't help.
Then I tried printing from Word, which has always worked but it didn't this time. The printer icon on the right of the dock came up, bounced a few times then disappeared with nothing happening on the printer.
So I deleted and reinstalled the printer. No help. I downloaded and installed HP software and firmware updates. No help. I went through wireless setup. No help
BTW, all along I got good "Wireless Network Test" results. I says it's connected but nothing happens when I try any functions of the printer.
If I can find a USB cable I will try to see if wired works.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey @neoflyer,
I would like to assist you today with resolving the wireless printing and scanning issues you're experiencing on your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer on your Mac OS X 10.9 Operating System. You mentioned that you have powercycled the devices, reran the wireless setup, and uninstalled and reinstalled the software and drivers to no avail. I'm going to suggest a few additional troubleshooting steps to verify if this is a computer issue or a network issue.
Step 1: Gather the IP and Open the EWS:
1. On the screen of your printer select the wireless button:
2. Under the Wireless information you should see your IP address
3. Open up your internet browser on your Mac computer and in the website address bar just type in your IP address. Please do not include www.
4. After you enter your IP address in the website bar go to that website
5. If the website for your printer opens than that proves with 100% certainty that your printer and computer are 'talking' to each other on your wireless network. If the website fails to open than you have a network communication issue with your router.
If the website fails to open please powercycle your network again:
How to Properly Powercycle a Network:
First, unplug the power cable to your Router
Once your Router is unplugged, turn off your printer
Next, shut down your computer
After 30 seconds to 1 minutes, plug your Router back in
Next, turn on your printer
Turn on the computer
After a few moments check on your computer and ensure that the internet is working. Once it is, hit the wireless button again on the printer to see if your printer got a new IP address. Using the IP address enter it in the address bar of your internet browser and now see if the website for the printer opens.
If the website for the printer opens successfully please follow the steps below:
Step 1: Uninstall Drivers and Software:
From the computer desktop, double-click the Macintosh HD, and then click Applications.
Click the Hewlett-Packard folder.
Double-click the HP Uninstaller, and then click Continue.
Select the product to uninstall, and then click Uninstall.
When prompted, type the Administrator name and Password, and then click OK.
From the Macintosh HD menu, click Users.
Click the correct user name.
Click Library.
Click Preferences.
Click and hold the cursor on the first file that starts with "HP," and then drag the file to the Trash icon on the taskbar. Complete this step for each file that starts with "HP."
Close out of Preferences.
Click the Trash icon on the taskbar, click the Empty button, and then click OK to empty the trash.
Step 2: Verify and Repair your Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Open Macintosh HD and go to Applications
Go to the Utilities Folder
Open the Disk Utility
Select the Hard Drive volume you are using (usually on the left)
Select Verify Disk Permissions
Once that process is done, select Repair Disk Permissions
Step 3: Check for Apple Updates:
Go to Apple
Select System Preferences
Select Software Update
Click Update Now
Install your available updates
Restart your computer
Step 4: Reinstall your Software and Drivers:
1. Please click the following link to download the appropriate Mac OS X 10.9 drivers for your printer: Mac: HP Officejet Pro 8600 series Full Feature Software and Drivers
2. Once downloaded, run through the step by step screens to reinstall your network printer
3. Once the printer is reinstalled, attempt a print and a scan!
Please let me know if these steps resolved your issue. Thanks for reaching out to the HP Support Forums. Good luck!

8600 all in one won't print or scan documents placed directly on glass?

I have a new Officjet 8600 All In One model N911A. I can't get it to print or scan a document placed directly on the glass. It will print and scan using the auto document feeder only.
I am working wirelessly and tried to run the HP Hardware Diagnostic Utility but it tells me the printer isn't connected to my computer. Ugh!
All I wanted to do was copy a page from a magazine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK, try installing this firmware. Depending on which OS you have, please select the link below:
Windows 7
Windows 8
Try to copy and scan after this update.
