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

Officejet J5750 All in One Not Printing

The printer has now stopped all together, just flashes lights. Tried the printer tool box. Printed a beautiful diagnostic page, but got the stoppage and flashing lights on the test page. Turned off and on and got a replace cartridge message. Did that. Got the allignment message. Will not allign, goes to flashing lights. Off and on will not clear it because everytime it comes back on it tries to allign and it won't.

The document here may help resolve black not printing on your Officejet 4620. Be sure to check the vents, if they are blocked the printer will appear to be running out of ink early in the cartridge life.
If the troubleshooting steps there do not resolve the issue I sould suggest you contact HP, 1-800-HPINVENt if you are in the US or see the document here for elsewhere. They may be able to help resolve the issue even if the printer is not in warranty as described in this post.

HP Officejet 4620 All in One Not Printing Black-BRAND new cartridge

Hello everyone, I am hoping SOMEONE can help me, as this has taken up hours of time and resulted in plenty of frusteration. I just replaced my black ink cartridge, and not a single drop of black ink will print. I have genuine cartridges, and cleaned the print heads, both steps one and two, atleast twice each. In the meantime I have since used up all my color ink, which is still working. But black does not show up AT ALL. Sure, I could buy more color cartridges and use them to print black, but at this point, I do not want to put any more money into this printer if it's not going to work properly. I am desperate for an solution! I run a small business from home and I NEED my printer. My warranty expired a few months ago and am really hoping I don't have to pay for phone support.
Does anyone have any advice on how to get black to print properly?? PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!!

HP OfficeJet J4580 All-in-one not printing the top of page

My HP OfficeJet J4580 has had many problems in the past, but they always have seemed to work themselves out. Currently the issue is that it cuts off the entire top edge of my paper.
I am a college student and it's mandatory that my format and margins are correct, but the printer is cutting off the header completely and most of the top margin. I have tried everything in my power before posting for help. I have reset the printer, restarted the printer, re-installed the printer, tried to do an alignment sheet, etc. but nothing seems to work. I'm at a loss here and would just like to be able to print things without having to go out and buy a new printer because this printer isn't that old.

@syddie101 I was looking at this printer spec online, and I saw the margin specification. Take a look at this page (in the print margin section). 3mm top margin seems to be quite small for many document headers, but just to check, is your top margin less than 3mm?
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01430100&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
If your document top margin is not less than 3mm, are you printing double-sided?
Though I work for HP, I'm speaking for myself and not HP. I'm just trying to help with my limited knowledge

HP Officejet 5610 all in one Communication Error Message on Mac with 10.10.2

Hi,
I got a new MAC computer running 10.10.2 Yosemite. I own the HP 5610 Officejet all in one printer. The new computer doesn't recognize the printer or scanner. I went to my applications folder and tried to uninstall the HP software but the printer doesn't show up there. I also downloaded the 3.0 software driver and tried to install it.
I can print from a document without a problem but I can't scan.
Any ideas on how to solve this/
Thank you.

Hey @PRLady ,
Welcome to the HP Support Forum. I understand that you're having scan to Mac issues with your HP Officejet 5610 All-in-One Printer. I would like to assist you with enabling scan to Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
My colleague @X-23 has assisted another HP printer user with essentially the same issue in another Forum post. Click here to access troubleshooting steps that may resolve your scanning issue.
As HP has not released a Full Feature driver available that's directly compatible with Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite, my colleague has outlined the steps in which you may add your printer into the Mac. (In this type of setup you would be using the built-in HP drivers that are available through Apple).
Please respond to this post in regards to your troubleshooting result. Best of luck with your setup!

Installation problems Officejet 5610 All in One on Windows 8.1 64 bit

I have a HP Officejet 5610 All-in-One printer that I have had for a few years. It has worked well on the old computer but the computer died. I purchased a new Dell Laptop with the Windows 8.1 64 bit operating system. The printer works fine but the scanner won't work since there is no software in the computer. I went to the HP Support website and tried to down;oad the drivers/software. The download failed 6 times. i finally tried anothe computer and after 4 failures. I was able to down load all 402MB of software. I saved it to a portable USD drive and returned to the Dell. I started the install and got to the begin installation screen. Unfortunately, right after it finished extracting the files. I got a pop up dialog box with the error message "System cannot find file specified". I went to HP Support and the website said to search the Windows file and remane the file extensions on all hpoins*.dat and hpwins*.dat files to .old file extensions. Unfortunately, there aren't any and they don't have any other suggestions.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi d-hammer,
Welcome to the HP forums!
I'm sorry to hear you've been having issues getting your Officejet 5610 installed on your new Windoes 8.1 computer but I'm hoping I can help you out
On your new Win 8.1 computer do you have an anti-virus program? Anything like McAffee, Norton, BitDefender, Avast, or anything like that? If you do, it's likely that the firewall within that anti-virus program is blocking part of the install. If you have any anti-virus on your computer you'll need to disable the firewall and the real time scanning within before you try to run the installation again. If you're not sure how, contact the anti-virus company and they should be able to let you know how to do those steps.
Let me know how that goes for your and we will go from there!

HP Officejet 5610 all in one "Door Open" error msg

Please check your inbox for further instructions.
If issue still persists after you have performed steps mentioned in you inbox, then its a printer hardware failure and printer need to be serviced.

Need driver (*.inf) files for HP OfficeJet 5610 All-in-one

I am setting up a print server and it needs *.inf driver files for my HP OfficeJet 5610 All-in-one printer. Where can i find them? I've installed the drivers on my PC, but they come as *.exe files that will not extract to give the *.inf files. Can anyone help?

Hello, First I would like to say that I dont like what HP does, I dont want all your software cloging up my computer. What I want if for the hardware I have purchased from you to work the way I want to. Nothing more nothing less. Please give your customers the chance to pick the software they want and not fill up the pc with trash.
PlanoStar You will find the x86 inf file in the Windows XP Package, it about an 68mb download, just extract EP-CDB-enu_NB.exe using Winrar.
And ofcourse after the hours spent, with HP trolling you, you would think you are done. Think again. Microsoft will pick up the tradition with some Install x86 Medea ntprint.inf BS. to solve this problem download the files needed from here.
It will save you hours instead of mounting AIO images and whatever.
Ps. I have just registered with HP with the sole reason of making this post, and I would just like to say that hp support is rubbish.

I cannot get my HP officejet 4215 all-in-one to print graphics

bamajim,
Here is a link to a page for your printer that may help with your issue.
The document provides steps to troubleshoot printouts that do not match the screen while printing from the web.
Does this also happen when printing graphics from somewhere other than the web ?
Once you give these steps a try let us know what happens.
If I helped you at all it would be great if you clicked the blue kudos star!

HP OfficeJet 5505 All-In-One wireless printing.

I've got a problem getting a HP OfficeJet 5505 All-In-One printer working with a Time Capsule for wireless printing.. I'm not quite sure how to debug this, so I'm asking for a little help.
If I connect the printer directly to the Mac, It is properly recognized when I go to add it into the printers list, and documents print normally.
Now when connected to the TimeCapsule, It looks to be recognized in the Airport Utility, and when I go to add it into the printers list, I can see it connected to the Time Capsule.. One difference is that I have to manually choose the printer driver rather than it being auto selected..
When I print a document, it looks like it spools up normally, and gets sent to the printer.. However the printer never starts, or prints.
After reading a few posts it looks like there might be some compatibility issue between office jet printers and the Time Capsule/Airport Extreme as I am not the only one with issues.
Any ideas?

The OfficeJet 5505 uses LIDIL (lightweight imaging device interface language) which depends on the host computer for low level commands. It will not work with the Time Capsule's USB port.
Technically, neither the printer nor the TC is at fault. The printer will only work when connected directly to a computer's USB port. Searching for drivers will be a futile exercise.
Sorry for the bad news. If you want to get a printer on your network, get a network printer.

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!
