HP J6450 All-in-one, ink use

I bought this printer in July for my small office, mainly for faxes and colour printing. My last all-in-one HP printer, gave up the ghost after 4 years of good work ( still too early though). However this printer chews up ink fast. My last printer used black ink cartridges, 3-4 per year. Now I'm on my 2nd cartirdge? It's too late to return it from where I bought it so that is not an option. My HP Laser does most of my printing so it's not from excessive use. I have put all my settings to draft. I used to use a 56 cartridge for my last printer? ANy suggestions. At this rate I will not be able to copy documents as I do for the ocassional use.
This question was solved.

To Madmedic: Aside from the draft print setting I could not offer you any other advice on cutting down on your ink consumption. But you may try using XL version of the print cartridges if you are not already. The regular 74 black cartridge is comparatively small for most larger officejet units, but an XL version is available that will provide a much greater page yield with less cost per page.
More complete information on the cartridges for your product can be found here: http://www.shopping.hp.com/supmodel/product/CB030A?

Can't get HP Officejet J6450 All-in-One to scan or print

Hello!
I have an HP Officejet J6450 All-in-One which I would like to use with my Macbook Pro running OS X 10.6.4. I would prefer a wireless setup. It printed wirelessly up until I tried installing the HP Full Feature Software & Drivers from their website (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-74787-1 &lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=219&product=3635399&sw_lang=)and subsequently deleted them once I realized it did not work. I also did not want to install a bulky and unnecessary set of programs that I do not need.
I went to the System Preferences/Print & Fax and deleted the HP printers that had been added, then I went to Applications/HewlettPackard and clicked on HP uninstall, and uninstalled the program. Since I have experience with Windows (lol), I decided to take the safe route and make sure my HD & permissions had not been corrupted. I put in my OS X install disk that came with my Macbook Pro, rebooted to the disk, went to Disk Utility and Repaired the Permissions (it only had one that it could not fix), repaired the HD (it found a few issues), and then went one more round of Repair Permissions and then HD just to be sure. I rebooted to the HD and ejected the boot disk. I connected the printer via the USB cable.
Then I found this: (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&softwareitem=mp-7 4787-1&os=219&product=3635399&sw_lang=&docname=c01910186) It says on there that Snow Leopard should have everything I need to scan and print with this printer. However, upon trying the three methods, none worked. Here are the results:
Method One: I get to step 2, select Import from Scanner, and nothing happens. The list that is supposed to be displayed in step 3 never comes.
Method Two: I open the Image Capture app in step 1, but when it comes up, it says "No camera or scanner connected."
Method Three: I get the Print & Fax printer browser opened as in step 3, but cannot move on to step 4 because there is no scan tab.
What can I do to get this to work? I tried contacting HP online chat, but they told me they do not offer support to Mac users on there. I sent them an email through their contact page but you know how that will probably go...
I'm an intermediate computer user, although I'm relatively new to Mac, so be easy on me! I'm scared to break this laptop I've fallen in love with. Many thanks to you all in advance, and my apologies if this has already been answered elsewhere - I was unable to find anything with this particular HP model and situation. I noticed HP does not seem very Mac-friendly!

Is this scanning from the PC and/or from the printer? Did it ever scan previously? Is this connected by USB/wired/wireless?
As far as the software, it would be a good idea to update your software, and I would recommend downloading the latest software at this location:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=1153494&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us
Just pick the right operating system, and get the download and run it. That may fix the scanning issue you are having.

How to print from iPad on hp photosmart c7250 all in one printer using wi fi?

I want to print from my iPad mini to a HP photosmartC7250 all in one printer using wi fi, please.

You need a third party printing app or an app that lets your computer act as the print server. Your printer is not an AirPrint printer from what I can see. You can double check here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
Printopia for the Mac or Fingerprint for Windows will let you use the computer as the print server.

Officejet Pro 6830 e-All-in-One Ink Cartridge Problem Message

Have/will soon "had" instant ink cartridge service. Printer did not recognize that the black ink was out so I didnt get a black ink cartridge. Couldnt wait for the mail service, so purchased all new HP cartridges and installed.
"Ink Cartridge Problem" Message came up and is now stuck in the machine, can't clear it. The machine will not recognize any of the 4 brand new HP inks; that menu item has little red X for each cartridge and each one shows empty.....
Removed all cartridges, cleaned all contacts, unplugged machine, did a "reset" on the menu via HP phone technician.....nope, nada, nothing.
Did all above SEVERAL times. Called HP back..."40 minutes wait time" .. wth...
Anything else? Does HP have to reset my machine to "recognize" regular cartridges???
Thoughts, suggestions? (Besides don't buy HP again....I will not....I should know better by now!)
Thanks all.
Slow burning in California.....

C6280 All in One ink error message

Hi there,
I have the HP photosmart C6280 All in One printer that recently requested that I replace the Magenta ink. I did so but when I attempt to print I get the following message.
To print in color, instal the following cartridges:
Magenta
To print with black only, click black only. to begin printing on certain products, press the Resume button on the printer control panel. the printer will replace colors wit grayscale.
To cancel, press the cancel button on printer.
If empty ink cartridge is not replaced soon, all printing will stop.
I have had this issue before and someone told me how to fix it but I can't find the original message or email for it at all but it work fabulous and I think it involved a reset. Can anyone assist me with this, perhaps explain how to reset the C6280.
Thank you

For resetting the printer ink system, try this document:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01709782&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3194498
Removing the ink/power reset procedure can eliminate the cartridge message.
For missing colors in the output, try this document:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01124477&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3194498
NOTE: step 8 has a hyperlink that is no longer valid. The cleaning of the printheads will affect your color output greatly.
I hope this will help you.

Scanning multiple pages with all in one printer using AiO software.

I have the HP all in one printer and when I scan a document even if I add a page, each page has its own PDF identification. I cannot seem to get multiple pages in one scan that I can email as one document. Please advise.

Hi Grwltgr
If you have an ADF(Automatic Document Feeder) tray keep all the pages you want to scan and start scan. All the scanned pages will be added in a single pdf.
If you dont have an ADF tray, i might be able to help you if you can let me know the Complete Model Name.
Kind Regards,
Oliver

Recommendations for printer/all in one for use with 10.9+? Help!

Does anyone have recommendations for a printer/all-in-one that will work with Mavericks? Monochrome (b&w) laser printer/all-in-one preferred. This is for a small office (5-8 people). Frequent pdf printing and 30+ page documents.
Right now I'm looking at Brother MFC-7860DW (might need something with a larger capacity), Brother MFC-8710DW, Epson WorkForce WF-M1030 (again, may need something w/ larger capacity), and Canon Laser imageCLASS MF4770n or Canon Laser imageCLASS MF4890dw. Also have looked at Canon imageCLASS MF6160dw but reviews are iffy. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks for your help and input, diggernyc. If I was going to say that my question had been answered I certainly would have chosen your response and not my own. It seems silly that you can't undo marking a post as "solved".
If anyone has suggestions, they are still appreciated. Thanks!

What all-in-one printers use 56/57 ink?

I am trying to find out which printers, if any, use the 56/57 ink cartridges.
This question was solved.

Hi,
Very hard to tell because the numbers may not be the same from region to region. The packages should show all compatible printers.
Hope this helps.

Snow Leopard 10.6.1 and HP Officejet J6450 All in One

I need to print an image (house blueprint), enlarged over 4 pages. I see no option anywhere to do this. HP technical support sent me through a download process for portions of HP Photo Studio software, which successfully installed. I could then use that to select a "Poster" option. Sent it to the printer (one page to print enlarged to 4), and lost all communication with my printer. I no longer could print anything at all. So I deleted the HP photo studio software, STILL couldn't use my printer, deleted ALL my printer drivers, unplugged my printer, plugged it back in, and started all over re-installing the fax, wireless and hard-wired printer drivers. Now I can at least print single pages normally again. Apparently the download was for Leopard 10.5 but I have no idea if that was the problem.
Does anyone know how to make a HP Officejet J6450 print an enlarged image over multiple pages using Snow Leopard?
Thankyou!

Hp psc 2110 all-in-one ink level status

This is an old printer, the owner's manual has a 2002 copyright date. I thought all printer, even one this old, would be able to display the ink status of the various cartridges on my computer screen. I talked to tech support and they said to download the driver and a printer icon should be displayed on the bottom right of my screen. This laptop has Windows 7 and all the HP drivers are supposed to be downloaded automatically. I tried to update the driver from hp.com but it didn't really do anyting. There still is no printer icon on the bottom right of my screen. Tech support said that when I click on the icon I should be able to get to a page that shows ink levels for cartridges. Anybody have any ideas?
Thank you for your help. I'm a bit of a novice here.
This question was solved.

Welcome to the forums hifiguy69!
I saw your post about wanting to check the ink levels on your PSC 2110 model. With Windows 7 the full software package is not available, therefore you will not be able to see the ink levels from your desktop.
However, if you are to print a self-test, this may show the ink levels.
To print a self test:
On the printer, select Setup or Menu until "Print Report" displays, then select Enter.
I hope my post helped!

I'm new to Mac, after many PCs. I have a new "all in one" I use Hughesnet gen 4 for Internet. I can't use my Mac help menu...I get message that it is not available. I took it back to store and no problem with help menu. I was told by Apple Genius bar that

I can't get to computer help menus, get error not available at this time. I was told by apple that the problem is with Hughesnet Gen 4. I called them and they have no answers. No other problems accessing the net.I have lots of questions as I am new to Mac and this is very frustrating. Can anyone help?

Can't really help with your Internet issues, but I can put you on the path to leaning more about Macs.
If you're a former Windows user, there many resources on Apple's web site to get yourself familiar with how Macs and OS X work.
Here ard a few areas to spend time with
http://www.apple.com/support/macbasics/
http://www.apple.com/support/imac/intel/
http://support.apple.com/videos/
http://www.apple.com/support/lion/
http://www.apple.com/support/osx/
For the video tutorials, in the video search box, just type in OS X. You'll get a list of OS X video tutorials to watch as you learn to use your iMac.
Start with the Anatomy of a Mac video first, Then the Finder Basics video second. After you have watched and put to use these two videos, you can watch any other OS X video you want in any order.
Here is a free eBook download of David Pogue's OS X Snow Leopard The Missing Manual here. While OS X 10.7 LIon and OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion work a bit differently than OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, there are many things that still apply.
