June 18, 2014:  My HP7520 Photosmart isn't so smart.  Error B8867448 shows up in blue screen and then an error screen shows up:  Printer Error.  There is a problem with the printer.  Turn the printer off, then on.  
I called HP service and went all the way up through a supervisor to the "higher authorities" in India.  I am a valued HP customer so they are giving me a very very special offer.  We unplug it for a minute and get the same problem.  The cartriges are also stuck and won't move.  They say this is the source of the hardware problem.  Then he states it is a "hardware" problem.  Really.  
After several conversations with the "supervisor" he gets my phone number and calls me back from his "personal office desk" with a very very valuable offer that is not available to all customers.  
They can only offer a discount on the printer, which is similar to Amazon.  I bought it for $138.85 (tax included - it was $129.99 before tax) over a year ago at Best Buy so the warantee is out of date.  He offers an HP Photosmart 7520 for $149.99.....?? - after I mentioned my original purchase price, he dropped it to $127.91.  I save a dollar.  
But get this!!!!
Cartridges are for free.  
Free shipping and handling. 
3-warantee for free.  
Still, my old computer has to go in the trash - stuck cartridges and all.  
The new printer will be tested TWICE by HP "itself"!  Now that's confidence for me!  I why the double testing??  
Reason:  
It is a reconditioned printer, by the way.  I don't like that and patiently mentioned it was not a sufficient offer:  $1 discount from a new printer.  
Now they are offering $10 off the reconditioned printer.  I state that this is still not sufficient.  
The phone rep tells me 100 printers are sold to Best Buy and 80 are delivered (what does that mean?!)
Just because the box is opened due to a long shelf-storage doesn't mean it is a bad computer.  They test it again since it's old so now it's tested twice and will work for me perfectly.  They are 100% sure the printer will work for me and this problem will not happen again.  
If the problem DOES happen, they will provide free shipping and a free replacement.  (wha-huh??  did I miss something there???)
He says I can go to website:  www.hp.com/recycle.com - log onto this website and I can recycle the printer without throwing it in the trash!!!   Such a deal!  I don't feel any better.  Trash is trash as far as I'm concerned.  
I replied:  "Your offer is not satisfactory to me" and once again I'm on hold.  Hold time to this point is over an hour.  Sigh.  
I'm finding that replying "Thank you but your offer is not satisfactory to me." in a calm voice gets me a little teeny weenie bit further in price reduction, but not worth the bother.  
He talks to his supervisor and says they know I'm not happy.  So now I get it for $86.10, with free shipping, cartridges and a 3-year warantee for free.  
How do I return it?   I call them and they send me a label.  I have to save the box and repack it.  I can also return the printer after 14 days.  What if I can't repack it properly with all the parts, etc????  He says to stick it in the box and mail it.  That's easy I guess......
This is just as good as a new one, even though it is reconditioned.  This is the best offer they can give me.  
"Would you like to go for it?".   It is not refurbished, it is reconditioned.  The difference is there are no cosmetic defects with a reconditioned printer.  
I insist on a free replacement.  He goes off to talk to his supervisor once again.  Silly, eh?  I stay calm and patient and it might work!  I mention I love HP and have always bought HP products.  They are documenting everything, he says.  Then I wait again.  He has my number and I'll get a phonecall back from his higher authorities within 24 hours.  
I confirm - he's in India.  Yay.  He if there's anything else he can do for me.  I reply that would simply like my printer replaced.   He wishes me a "beautiful day" and says "bye bye" and hangs up.   
Incredible.  I'm throwing it away and buying an Epson -810 or a Canon Pixma - consumer reports recommended printer.  I hear the trash truck so I'm taking my printer out to the trash (in a nice new trash bag).  I won't buy another HP printer again - ever.  
Hope this helps.  Sorry if you have the same issue.  Final time of calls with Indians:  2 hours.  OMG.  **bleep**.  I give up.

  • HP Photo Smart C4280 All-in-One Printer Does it have a memory of what I printed?

    I printed a document on my printer on 08/31/10.  Is it possible the document I printed then is still available on the printer somewhere?  Does it get stored?  Thanks for any help on this.

    The printer does not have a document memory, you will have to go back to your computer (or photo card depending on where you printed from) and reprint the file.

  • HP 7520 all in one printer does not print photos well-Does with my Windows machines

    I have several computers.  Everything works great with printer in Windows environment.  I have an iPad and a MACbook PRO with Maverick 10.9.4.   The photos are terrible when I print with either of these devices.   It almost looks like a negative image.   I have checked for updated drivers, etc for the MAC.   The ink is HP and the levels are good.  It works fine with my PC computers, but not my Apple devices.   I have checked system preverences in the APPLE.   It appears to be only the photographs.  Text prints fine.  Any suggestions?

    Hello cpsimon, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you're running into photo print issues. I would like to help!
    I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
    I would also suggest running your Apple updates:  OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps.
    After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer Drivers.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • HP Envy 4500 All in One - Printer Error - not finishing print job / non-specific error code

    Help - my new HP ENVY 4500 AIO (less 3 months old) has never completed a print job if it is over 1 page. I'm connected wirelessly, and not sure if there is an interruption in the wireless connection or if this is defect in the  printer. I receive a message "Printer Error - HP ENVY cancelling print job" and that's it. It will usually happen when it's on the last page of a small print job or half way thru a large (10+ page) of a print job.  Any suggestions? I've downloaded HP Print/Scan Dr - it didn't find any issues.

    I had the same issue. Got in contact with HP customer service and the first person that helped had no idea how to fix it.  Got in contact with someone else and they found the issue right away. I had it connected through the wrong port.
    First find out what the IP address of your printer is. You can do this by pressing the small wifi button on the front of your printer and it will show the IP address. 
    Then what you'll have to do is go to the start menu of your computer and search for "Devices and Printers".
    Click that and a screen will open. Look for your printer an right click.
    Click "Printer Properties" and a new screen will open.
    Along the top you will see a few tabs. Click the one that says "Ports"
    Click "Add Port"
    Highlight "Standard TCP/IP Port" by clicking on it, then click "New Port"
    A new screen will open.
    Click "Next"
    Type in the IP Address of your printer and click "Next"
    After that your computer should find your printer.
    Click finish and you should be all set.
    Hope this helps.

  • Photo Smart 6510e ALL IN ONE SERIES. Only prints one page.

    Hello bluebell21,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you are having a printing issue with the Photosmart 6510 since you have re-installed the printer software.
    I would first suggest to run the Print and Scan Dr. This look into drivers, software and communication problems that could have caused this. Let me know the out come, what passes, fails, is fixed, etc.

  • Installing HP Photosmart 7520 all in one printer software

    My new HP Photosmart 7520 will not install on my Dell PC.  I have the 32-bit Windows Vista OS.  When installation begins I immediately get the error message: "Key not valid for use in specified state".  I've tried installing the CD and the software from HP on-line, all several different ways.  I 've used the troubleshooting download from HP but both methods do not solve the installation problem.  I've temporarily disabled the firewall.  I've done disk clean-up and defragmenting.  I've restarted the PC more than a dozen times during my efforts.  Even Microsoft Windows can't install all the software from updates - only the fax portion.  If I can get past the point where the error message occurs I think the software will install.
    I hesitate to try the Geek Squad.  My experience with them is that most of the geeks aren't competent and it's a crap shoot getting assigned one that is.  They will be my last resort.
    Has anyone had this problem?  Does anyone have a solution?

    Hey @jimlg ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're unable to install the printer drivers for your Photosmart 7520 printer.
    The error you have listed is a Windows error and not attributed to the printer software. You can confirm this with the fact the error occurs when trying to install from Windows update bypassing our installer.
    You may want to try following the suggestion in this thread made by @Gemini02 which seems to help resolve the issue for some users experiencing the same problem: Re: key not valid for use in specified state.
    Let me know if that helps.

  • C7280 All-in-One printing error Qxc19a007

    Hello. If anyone is familiar with this error code and how to address/correct it, I would appreciate hearing your thoughts and suggestions. I keep getting the message that the ink system has failed and cannot copy, scan, or fax. Thanks.

    For borderless, due to the fact that we can't place the paper EXACTLY in one place, and we can't guarantee ZERO skew, and there are some tolerances in the paper size, we need to overspray the image (make the image a slight bit bigger), so we don't have little tiny white slivers. around the image.
    Also, keep in mind, the aspect ratio of your camera isn't always the same as the aspect ratio of the paper.  For example, you an print a 3x5, a 4x6, or a 5x7, and those are all different aspect ratios.
    I'm sorry I can't fix your problem, but hopefully this helps you understand what's going on a little better.
    regards, CF
    I work for HP and hope to make your day Sproutastic!

  • Hp Office jet pro L7780 all in one printer - error C00E0001

    I started getting a notice that said: you have a problem with your cartridges, it showed all colors.  Then as I took the cartridges in and out, I got an error code COOEOOO1 which directed me to: turn power off then on again, which I did many times.  This has never worked.  I have pulled up the "hardware diagnostic" which said I have a connectivity issue.  I checked the cables, they were plugged in.  I disconnected them and tried the wireless but that got the same error.  Help!  My computer is a window xp

    HI RODA80,
    Welcome to the HP support forums.  I understand that when you are printing a multiple page document on your Officejet Pro 8500a that only the first 2 pages print.
    To better understand the issue would you please provide some further information:
    1)    What operating system are you using (Windows 7, Mac 10.8, or Windows 8, etc)?
    2)    Is this happening for all multiple page documents or just one?
    3)    Has a default of only printing the first 2 pages been accidentally set?
    Thank you.

    I've got this "Color table is missing." only after I accepted the automatic update 2.2 of 24.2 MB coming from Lexmark.
    To solve the problem I had to remove ALL traces of Lexmark drivers and software, then reinstall the correct driver, the one for Mac Os 10.6 (snow leopard).
    Now I must remember NOT to accept any automatic update and I can use again my X3550.

  • 8610 all in one printer error message

    occasionally my new printer gives me an error message (no number on the message): An error occurred while printing.This comes up on websites I use often--no rhyme or reason on which ones it will or will not print-- and it's annoying! There is no helpful trouble shooting advice, just the message.  Most other times I have no issue with printing, although it sometimes feeds too many pages thru and prints a portion of a page on multiple pages. Help please! Thx!

  • E 3520 all in one printer error message - please advise how to correct

     am getting an error message but don't know how to clear.  it states ' 1 or more ink cartriges are damaged and need to be replaced.  the ink cartridge will not move into the cartridge space to allow me to change the cartridges.  HELP!!!!! what can i do?

    Hi liklesmudge,
    I understand you are trying to replace one of your cartridges due to the error message "1 or more ink cartridges are damaged and need to be replace", but the carriage will not move in to the appropriate position for you to change the cartridge.
    Please try performing a hard reset. To do so, leave the printer on and unplug the power cable for a full minute, then plug it back in. If this resolves the issue and allows you to change the cartridge, but the original issue persists, please use the following document; 'Incompatible Ink Cartridge' or 'Ink Cartridge Must Be Replaced' Message Displays on the Control Pan....
    Although the error message you are seeing is slightly different from the ones in the title of the document, this document will guide you through the necessary troubleshooting to resolve the cartridge issue.
    If the carriage does not move over for you to replace the cartridge, try a carriage jam document; A 'Carriage Jam' Message Displays on the Control Panel
    I hope this helps.

    As it is refurring to a yellow/black part its most likely the printhead that needs to be replaced and not the cartridge.
