HP Photosmart Plus - Glitches on Printing Shipping off PayPal

Photosmart Plus works fine, except when I attempt to print shipping labels off Paypal.
Within PayPal, when printing shipping labels:
^ Firefox prints the shipping label at 1/4 size. I have looked at properties and all the properties are correct. No reduced paper size; no reduced font within properties. Tried repeatedly. Postal site will soon think I am scamming them with "shipment canceled." Makes me swear terribly. (Note: this issue only occurs on PayPal postal shipping). Doesn't act out elsewhere.
^ IE won't print the label without the word "SAMPLE" emblazoned on it, even when I hit "print," not the "print sample." Makes me swear worse.
^ Opera won't print anything other than the url at the top and bottom of the page. No label printed. Same with Google Chrome. Now I really went crazy, swearing like a sailor. I kicked the dog and went to bed.
I have ensured that IE and Firefox are up-to-date.
I have updated and downloaded current Java.
Problems persist as mentioned above. Help, and thanks in advance.

I "solved" this in IE browser. You have to go to "add/remove programs," and remove the HP Smart <sic> Web Printing add-on. Note, that does not solve the 1/4 size printer labels on Firefox but I will just drop that browser when on PayPal.

Hp photosmart plus won't print and alignment failed

HP Photosmart Plus stopped printing without any warning bells/error messages. Changed the black ink cartridge, used the clean and allign tools...alignment failed is the error messge I get and it still won't print.

Hi @jmfmls,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your HP Photosmart Plus will not print and the alignment failed. I am happy to help you with these issues!
For further assistance, I will need to know some more information:
The Product/Model Number of your printer. Follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number.
If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the printer is connected, Wireless, Ethernet, or USB.
If the printer is able to make copies by itself.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
Please see this post, Want Good Answers? Ask Good Questions, by @Bob_Headrick, so you can get the most out of these forums.
Hope to hear from you soon, and thank you for posting!

Hp photosmart plus b210a unwanted printing

I am using hp photosmart plus b210a wireless printing mostly from my laptop which is windows 8 HP.
I've been seeing unwanted high-ink-use pages that do not belong to me or a friend i share it with.
Other people are having access to my printer,without my permission, and wasting my ink and paper.
Is there a way I can control which computers can use my wireless hp printer?

That's the information I needed. You have set up a 'public' WiFi and don't want others to use the printer.
You have two options here.
First is to set up Printer security.
Go to Start/Devices and Printers/Printer Properties. Select the Security tab and set up the Users only.
Second it to follow here.
Connect wireless printer when away from home in a hotel/motel/dorm room with total security.

I have a photosmart plus b210 e print and when I print with a black back ground I get lines

I have a photosmart plus b210 e print and when I print with a black back ground I get lines. What can I do to eliminate the
lines in the photo
Thank You

Hey appollus,
Do you get these lines only when printing with ePrint? If not, it sounds like a printhead issue. Here are the steps to fix the issue.
1. Go to the setup menu on the printers front screen.
2. Go to tools.
3. Go to clean printhead
You may need to do this a few times to completely remove the lines in the print.

This would indicate your magenta ink is not printing properly. Try the troubleshooting steps in this page.

PhotoSmart Plus E B210A Printer Settings

I just bought the Photosmart Plus E (B210a) printer, and I think some settings are missing in the printer properties/preferences. Usually "Color Management" (advanced) seems to provide a wide variety of adjustments to the ink settings. All I get are monitor/display menus.
The printer is very nice, and It seems to be functioning normally, but I can't find any menus to adjust color saturation (for the individual inks), brightness, cool/warmth, sharpness, etc. There were also presets for draft, best, charts & graphs, and others to select for quick setting adjustments.
Does the B210 not offer any of these customizations? I've tried the driver on the CD and the driver from the website, and neither make a difference. My previous few Photosmart printers always had these options.
I was told to try setting the driver for the 9800 Deskjet, but that didn't help either.
Maybe I am trying to find a menu that doesn't exist, but documentation seems to hint at these settings...
Can anyone confirm that such menus exist? Anyone have an idea for a solution?
Thanks for your time.

Windows7 32-bit Ultimate, Printer is wirelessly networked

Wow, that was fast. Well, before I give you a "kudos", I should've mentioned I tried that driver. Several people referenced that, and so I used it as requested. Still, no luck.
I must admit, I didn't install the coupon option, or the bing bar, but I assume my color options don't depend upon those items being installed!
So...I've tried the driver that CD came with, the driver on HP's site, and two alternate drivers (9800 and 920c deskjets).
I'm really stumped, as I'd like to keep the printer, but nobody seems to know how to fix this issue...or if it is, indeed, an issue. Someone in Tokyo said those features don't exist for this printer (which I do not believe to be true).
I don't know if something is blocking the driver from connecting to these options, but it is very frustrating.

Photosmart Plus B209a not printing yellow

My Photosmart Plus B209a doesn't seem to be printing yellow. First thought was a blockage, but having changed the cartridge as it was low anyway, it's still not printing yellow. Any thoughts?
This question was solved.

Problem now solved, just needed to clean the printhead. I always thought the printhead was part of the cartridge, so by changing the cartridge I'd changed the printhead. Turns out that isn't the case!

HP Photosmart Plus will not print black ink

My printer will not print anything in black ink. I just replaced the all 4 ink ink cartridges and on the printer it says that they are all full but it still will not print anything in black ink. All the other ink works fine.
It is an HP Photosmart Plus and the model is B209a. I bought it about 4 months ago.

The troubleshooting steps in this document may help resolve the issue. If not the post here may help.

Hp photosmart plus b210 wont print on dark paper

If I use dark paper the printer will just spit it out and print on the next white page. Is there a setting to allow printing on dark paper?

I am glad I could help. I hope you do not have too many of these to print - while the strips are reusable it could get a bit tiring if there are many to print .

HP B210 all-in-one Photosmart Plus won't print black when new black cartridge installed!!

Ugh!! This printer is driving us insane! EVERY time we install a new black ink cartridge (HP 564) the printer decides it doesn't want to print black any more! I've tried the whole cleaning this and that they say is needed. I've aligned, reset, etc. and nothing works. What makes me mad is the printer works fine until the day we swap out the black ink. I've had this issue before but it was random luck it came back to life and we have no idea how it happened. What can we do to fix this ANNOYI NG problem?? Thanks in advance.

By the way: after this whole conversation, suggesting the standard troubleshooting steps is RIDICULOUS.That might be true if one could assume that someone posting in the thread has already read (and tried) the posts in the thread. My experience is that there are many folks that find a thread, perhaps through a Google search, but they do not actually read the thread but rather put their information on the end of the thread as a reply. I see this even when there is a solution marked for the thread, the thread here is a good (or bad) example of this. For your case have you tried the standard troubleshooting steps? Did you check the vents? Did you try soaking the printhead as described here? Is there any sign of black printing at all in the test page?

Hi @Dusha
I'd be happy to help you. We can begin our own troubleshooting from scratch, or you can certainly refer back tot he original post that resolved the issue from the last time this happened; Wireless printing will not operate om MAC OS X.
If this does not resolve the issue this time, let me know and we can work towards a resolution!

Photosmart Plus B210 series is stuck on "canceling job"

Photosmart Plus B210 series printer is stuck on "canceling job." I have tried deleting and adding it back on. Printer is working on its own and appears to be recognized by my iMac but I can't access the supply levels or print anything. Under printer setup the location is blank...suggestions? help?

Hello @Amiera , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I can see you're running into compatibility issues. I would like to help.
I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once it is uninstalled, I would suggest putting your system into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration. You can do so by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would suggest reinstalling the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

New Photosmart Plus - cannot ePrint

Just purchased a new Photosmart Plus, ePrint capable printer. I can print from a PC, but not thru the ePrint. Web Service installs, email address for printing is displayed, but it won't print and when I try to add the printer in HP ePrintCenter, it says the email address is invalid. I have removed and reloaded the Web Services several times, disabled the Windows and Norton firewalls, no joy. Help....

I have the same exact problem except my printer is a only Photosmat w/out plus (CN245C)... any solution found on this problem ? please kindly post any update.

Excessive INK LEVEL LOW warnings; Excessive PRINTER OFF LINE warnings on HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m

HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m Excessive INK LEVEL LOW Warnings: False PRINTER OFFLINE Warnings
I have the HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m, Lenovo T43 running XP SP3.
I love the print quality and the way it looks. But...it's very noisy and the big problem is:
When any one of the 4 ink cartridges gets to around 25%, the ink low warning , comes on, sometimes more than once per minute! And then it opens the LARGE dialogue box right in the middle of the screen showing me ink levels (none below 25% by the way), and * soliciting me to buy ink from them on line or from a dealer or whatever. I close it and the three warning boxes (Ink level low-two boxes simultaneously and Printer Offline)....Then a couple minutes later all them are back. This makes the computer basically unusable.
*These frequent (every few minutes) PRINTER OFFLINE warnings occur even though it is on line. this is a wireless enabled printer. Despite the warning that it is offline, as soon as I issue a print command the printer responds (with the ink level warnings of course, while it's printing).
How can I disable (forever) the OFFLINE and INK LEVEL warnings?

On the touchscreen of the printer
touch setup
touch preferences
touch cartridge chip info
then touch OK
no more annoying pop-ups
Note
To re-enable the usage information function, restore the factory defaults.
Note
You can continue to use the cartridge in the HP product if you turn off the memory chip's ability to collect the product's usage information.
