HP photosmart p 1000

My photosmart p 1000 has worked like a trooper for years. Recently, the color ink stopped working. B&W works properly but it simply wont print in color. COlor cartridge shows 90% full, its inserted properly (as evidenced by the fact that the toolbox reads the print levels).
I ran the calibration function and test page...both printed in B&W. All print settings seem to be correct (its not set for grey scale, for example)
Using a windows xp computer.
Any help/thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

Have you gotten a reply? Because I have the exact same problem with the same printer.
Can you let me know if you fixed it succesfully.
Thanks so much.

Need 64-bit software and drivers

Can someone please help me locate the software and drivers for my printer. The CD that came with the printer does not have drivers for Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that you are looking for drivers for Windows 7 (64-bit) for your HP Photosmart P1000 printer. I am happy to take a look for you! According to the HP Photosmart p1000/1000 Printer Drivers website, The newest driver available for this printer is for Windows XP 32 bit. The system requirements for this printer also specify only these Windows Operating Systems: Microsoft (R) Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0, 2000 Professional, XP. You might be able to use the Windows XP driver in compatibility mode. Or, as another workaround, you might be able to use an alternate driver, by going to this post, How to Assign Alternate Print Drivers in Different Versions of Windows, by . (These methods are not guaranteed to work.) If they do not help, I would consider upgrading your printer to one that is supported for Windows 7. Printers Supported in Windows 7. As this printer is not officially supported. Hope this answers your question, and thank you for posting! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

HP Photosmart 1000

I really like this printer. I does great photograph prints. However I bought two (2) new Compaq laptops for me and my wife. Never did I think that Compaq which is a HP product would not write drivers for one of their own laptops to work with one of their printers. Yes sadly I was foolish enough to buy a Compaq laptop for me and one for my wife with Vista operating system. But I am still upset that I have to jump through hoops to use my photo printer. I have to download my photo to a thumb drive and then use my old HP Pavillion to print them out. I'm at the point that I feel HP has stabbed me in the back for being a loyal customer. Yes I have only bought HP both desktop and laptops since 1996.

First of all, it wouldn't be Compaq not writing a driver for the computers to support an HP product. Drivers are written for the device, not the computer. So, more properly, this situation is that HP has not written an updated Printer driver for this product.
The reason behind this... I see this particualr printer was relased in 1999 and support for it was discontinued a little over 5 years ago. Since Windows 7 (I'm assuming is what you have on the new computers) came out long after the end of support on this product, there are not and probably will not ever be Windows 7 drivers for this printer.
That being said, the previous solution provided should work just fine for basic funtionality. You should be able to print, but will have few settings and options available.
The better solution, in my opinion... Upgrade! There are some great new photo printers out there that are lightyears ahead of the PS 1000. It's been 12 years since this printer came out, and technology moves and improves fast. I"m sure there's something out there that will work even better for you, and anything on the shelf now will support Windows 7 right out of the box.
While I am an HP employee, I am not a expert on all our products. If I offer advice, I'm not speaking for HP on how to solve an issue, but I'll do my personal best to help you.

HP Photosmart 1000: My Print cartridge holder is stuck

I cleared a paper jam and now the print cartridges are stuck way over to the left and it is impossible to even remove one of the 2 cartridges. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi!
Please try these steps: 1. switch on the printer.
2. open the cartridge door- if the carriage still not moving---unplug the power cord from the printer- leave the cartridge door open then manually move the carriage to the far right side of the printer...
Hoping this will help you..

HP Pavilion dm4t 1000 - wd471av Windows 7 64-bit Upgrading VGA card

can i upgrade VGA removable card for HP Pavilion dm4t 1000 ?

T2, you don't mention how much system memory that you have installed. Windows 7 will run best with 3GB of memory. Also, integrated memory is always lacking in any games. The 128MB is not allocated at one time. It is only used as needed. If you want to play games, you should upgrade your memory and upgrade to a standalone video card. I don't believe that a driver update will make any difference.

HP Photomart 1000 Deskjet Printer Problems

Previously through HP Support I was able to use my old faithful and super-reliable HP Photosmart 1000 printer on Vista (32bit) with this driver installed on Vista. It was the HP 970Cse and it worked flawlessly. But now, just getting an "error" message when trying to print a test page. Anyone have any more ideas? Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling this and other printer drivers that I use regularly. Please Help! I don't want to donate this one to the landfill yet!!

Actually the Deskjet 970 drivers are a better match for the Photosmart 1000. The Deskjet 990 drivers should work for text but will probably fail for photo's and some graphics.
What happens when you try to print - are there any error messages? Does the printer go through any motions of trying to print?
Is the printer connected with USB or a parallel port? If the printer is connected with a USB port it would probably be USB001: or USB 002:, see the document here. For a parallel port the likely port would be LPt1:.
How are you printing a test page? To start I would use Notepad and try a simple text document.

Photosmart 8230. How do you Remove the print heads for cleaning?

Hi guys, I have a Photosmart 8230. After a few lines of printing the black ink fades to almost nothing, all the colours are perfect. There are no error messages. I have done the self cleaning and alignment procedures and wasted a lot of expensive ink. The test page comes out with streaks on the black only. It has been suggested that I take the print head out and immerse it in hot water as a last resort. The question is, how do I remove the printhead? or should I use it as a sea anchor!!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I just did this to a HP Photosmart 8250 which is in the 8000 series range. I assume they are similar. I was an appliance repair man and have done a lot of other tings in my life, so I decided to take a shot at repairing my 8250 rather than junk it. For 3 Years it was great, only one paper jam, and fast great photos, so I didn't want to give up on it. HP will not repair printers for us, I think because it is too labor intensive, and they can sell a new one for what it would cost.
I actually fixed my HP Photostat 8250. Its working but the color printing is not as good as it was, yet, but I am hoping that will improve as all of the colored inks work their way through the system.
Taking one of these apart and putting it back together is like a Chinese puzzle, so its appropriate that they are made in China. Most of the parts inside can be easily damaged if you are not careful. The covers have very clever ideas to their design and how they snap in place. Take your time with the covers and use small tools.
Getting it back in working condition is another matter. There is a 6 circuit pump and more than a few feet of tubing. I had the side covers off while I tested it and this pump seems to work in both directions. This pump is inside the left side cover. There is another motor with a timing wheel of some kind that stops and starts in both directions at the same time the printhead carriage is whipping back and forth printing. There are other motors also. These things are ingenious. It is surprising that I bought it for less than $100 on sale. It looks like a $1000 piece of equipment inside.
It would probably be a good idea to not remove the left side cover, but if you do, be very careful around the clear timing wheel. it looks delicate. Below is from an email I sent to a friend and I am revising it to make sense. Remember this is something that really requires training to do this, but I see people today that have the guts to tackle all sorts of projects, so for what its worth, and you asked.
Under the right side cover is a motherboard, with a bunch of cables plugged into it, small, larger and even ribbon cables. I found it necessary to remove the motherboard. I had a bit of experience working on Canon printers and I would also suggest you take digital pictures as you go so you can view them on your PC. I am also going through this because I don't like being told we can get anything repaired correctly today, its ridiculous that these printers have become just more throwaways. If you want to do this, as a guide, I must have spent 8 to 10 hours doing this, but now I could do it again in 2, that is the learning process.
Once you get the top off the printer, you will see the printhead carriage. The carriage will be to the right side. The printhead is retained by two screws at the front, (take pictures) a spring clip at the rear and two screws that hold a plastic cover over the six ink hoses that plug into the printhead, its a manifold strip affair. You have to unplug the manifold to remove the printhead, but now I am not 100% sure its necessary to remove the printhead? The ink gunk you will see after you move the printhead to the left is no doubt most of the problem.
Probably after the hot water treatment as described below, the built in printhead cleaner will be able to resume cleaning the printhead, after the hot water cleans the gunk from IT.
I removed the printhead like I say below, but first do this. Under the printhead there is a little carriage with a patch of foam rubber that cleans the print head nozzles.This little device works back and forth while cleaning, but while it is parked, with the printer off, it is forward and you won't be able to move the printhead. Use a flashlight to be sure and you will see how to push the cleaner carriage to the rear and then move the printhead carriage to the left. THEN, you will see the gunky ink mess that has accumulated. This gunky mess I think is the main problem. There are also some felt pads below the cleaning device to absorb some of the ink gunk. I don't know how the HP techs do this, but I used the hot water method below, I had nothing to lose. I would move the printhead first and then you can decide about removing it. I would make sure not to get any of the electronics wet and why I removed the motherboard and why I say take photos. Its hard enough to remember where the different screws alone go, when you are doing this. It can be done, mine is working, even if not perfectly, YET. You need to be very careful with your fingers, because it is hard to find space to hold onto the printer and whay it might be a good idea to not remove the left side.
They are so complicated, its just a matter of time before they get gunked up with ink and the printhead begins floating in the mess. I had nothing to lose so I removed the printhead, carefully, taped up all the hoses so they didn't dry out, Then I removed the motherboard to keep it from getting wet, THEN I held the messy ink end under the HOT water in the laundry tub and flushed out enough ink to dye a bathtub full of water. The hot water worked well. Then I let it all dry out. There are some delicate procedures to all of this and it takes time. I think that is why its very hard to find anyone to fix them. Its labor intensive and probably why HP won't repair them. The print section is the problem, and why I won't buy an All in One printer, Fax, and Scanner. I do buy the extended warranty's now. If you tackle this, take your time, take photos, and good luck. By the way, the 8250 uses O2 print cartridges, is that the type of printer you have, but a lot of this applies to other printers and other brands, and I bet I am not the only one to do this. Before I started this the diagonstics showed no problems, so I assumed it was the the ink aspect of the printer, and not an electronic of mechanical problem. I hope this helps.

Photosmart C4795 won't print (most of the time)

I have a Photosmart C4795 installed on two computers, one with XP, the other Vista. The installation(with the Vista computer) went smoothly, along with all tests and some documents of my own, and on the XP one. After a few months it started giving me a "paper not found issue". I discovered I needed to push hard enough to get the paper in far enough, but not too far. Now (on the XP computer) it says its printing, pulls in the paper and then sits until I get an error message on my computer. I went through all the guided solutions and none worked. The XP computer is an HP Mini 1000, and updating HP doesn't change anything.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I managed to get it working by sending the document a second time, then cancelling the errored print job on my computer, and after it was cancelled on the computer cancelling on the printer. The moment the paper ejected I placed it on the paper tray at a point an inch away from where I was told to in the animations. Then it started on the second print job and worked (it stopped because I only had one page, but resumed when I placed the paper at the same spot and pushed OK.) If the whole problem was in fact where I was placing the paper I wish the animations would show proper positioning.
If anyone needs assistance or clarification on how I made it work again please reply.

HP1000 PhotoSmart driver for Windows 7?

Does anybody know of software for a Photo Smart P1000 that will work on my Dell Inspiron Laptop with Windows 7?
I purchased my printer in 2000. It still works great!

Hello azrockhound99,
I understand you are looking for software to get the Photosmart 1000 working on your Windows 7 PC. I have looked into this for you. There isn't any software for you printer available to download. To get this printer working on the computer you may want to try following this document: Installing the Printer with an Alternate Driver in Windows 7 for a USB Cable Connection.
For the alternate print driver I would suggest using the Deskjet 9800 based on your OS version.
Please let me know how you make out.

Is there another driver for photo smart 1000 for windows xp

i can't download my hp photosmart 1000, I have tried to update driver does anyone have suggestion, I am operating a windows xp thanks

Nana,
Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
You might check and see if you must uninstall any existing printer program first.
Perhaps the existing printer program is getting in the way of the new driver installation?
FIRST: Create a Restore Point:
Restore Point XP OR Create a Restore Point – Win7 OR Create a restore point Win8
If you wish to remove any existing printer program:
Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Add or Remove Programs.
In the Currently installed programs box, click the program that you want to remove, and then click Remove.
===========================================================================
There are the main Driver and an Update that is actually for an older Driver version than that of the Main Driver (3.5). I do not think you need that Update, in other words.
Main Driver - Version 3.5
HP Photosmart Printer Software and Driver
Download file to your hard drive.
Go to the file and double-click it. Choose unzip.

HT Photosmart C6280 Causes DPC Latency

I have been experiencing high DPC latency (causing pops, gaps) when streaming video or audio. I have tracked it down to the HP Photosmart C6280. When it is disconnected from the USB port, the latency drops to normal (well below the 1000 range) but when the printer is connected the latency spikes and gradually increases to 4000 or more. The printer itself works OK. I have All-in-One software version 90.00.060.000 according to the splash screen, but Belarc Advisor tells me I have version 090.000.146.000 in use. It also says I have All-in-One version 111.000.006.000 in the computer but it hasn't been run for a year (I used to have a C5180). I have updated the drivers for my USB ports from Microsoft to Intel but that hasn't helped, and the latency problem appears only when the C6280 is connected. Does anyone have suggestions? Thanks.

I recently purchased an hp photosmart d110a. i cant get the scan feature to work. help!

i recently purchased an HP Photosmart D110a. I am using Windows 7 32 bit, SP1. I am direct connected by USB cable. While Print and Copy work fine, the Scan feature (Scan to PC) does not, always returnining the meesage "Try Scan from Computer. I'. I've spent 7 hours over 3 days with Tech Support and Case Manager and nothing has changed. HP replaced the device with a new one, no change. Is anybody else experiencing this problem?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
At Wits end.

Not this way, xytor.
You think we have this amazing ability to look at a 1000+ line program and instantly, mentally debug it? Or are willing to compile and single-step through your code to point out things that are wrong? There's a limit to how lazy you can be and expect help.
Here's a clue: put lots and lots of System.out.println()s in your code. At every stage, write out the values of variables. Look at the output as your program runs. Maybe that'll give you a clue as to what is going wrong.
Once you have narrowed down the problem to a particular statement, and you still can't understand why that statement is doing what it is doing, then post a specific question about that statement, and explain exactly what values the variables are before going in to that statement, and what comes out, and what you think should come out. Then we can explain why it's doing what it's doing.
OK?

Ink cartridge for photosmart can i used

dont remember my model but is a photosmart with touchsmart can I used ink cartridge 61

Hi @tercio7
Not knowing your printer model makes it a little difficult to answer your question with a cut and dry yes or no, but I can help you figure it out!
HP 61 2-pack Black/Tri-color Original Ink Cartridges compatibility;
HP Deskjet 1000 Printer series - J110
HP Deskjet 1050 All-in-One Printer series - J410
HP Deskjet 2000 Printer series - J210
HP Deskjet 2050 All-in-One Printer series - J510
HP Deskjet 3000 Printer series - J310
HP Deskjet 3050 All-in-One Printer series - J610
HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2010 Printer K010
HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2060 All-in-One Printer K110
I guess that was easier than I expected. No, the 61 cartridges do not work with any Photosmart printers.
You can use the following to determine which cartridges are compatible with your printer; Shop for HP ink and toner

Hp aio remote app on iPhone won't scan to my hp photosmart 7515

hp aio remote app "there was a problem during scanning. check scanner and try again" when using hp photosmart 7515 however this is a new issue the app scanning worked before. Also I can no longer print or scan unless at home and connected to my network

Hello @mbranch37,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are having a problem with the AIO app, as well as what sounds like a web services issue.
I would like to help.
Before working with the app, I would like to make sure the printer is fine.
On the front panel of your printer touch the Web Services icon. (also known as the ePrint button)
If you get a server connection error, I would set a manual DNS.
The following post by happytohelp01, has instructions for setting the manual DNS.
If for some reason the printers email or ePrint address has changed, you will have to set it up again.
If the email is the same and you do not get any error messages, try cycling your network.
Turn off the printer and other network devices.
Unplug the power to your router for at least a minute.
Plug the power cord back into the router.
Turn on all your network devices.
Wait until the blue wireless light on your printer stops blinking.
