HP Photosmart Premium 310 Series

I just recently got a Macbook Pro. My HP Photosmart Premium 310 series printer worked fine for a month. I uninstalled it, but now it will not reinstall. Now I get the message "Unable to communicate with the printer at this time". I have tried several different things and nothing has worked. 
Any suggestions?

  • Printing problems with HP Photosmart Premium C310a series

    I recently installed an HP Photosmart Premium C310a series printer.  Now the printer takes about 45 minutes to print a document.  HP support says this is an Apple problem. 
    Can anyone help?

    What file was the problem? 
    It seems that in the Windows/System32/Spool/Drivers/x64/3, the newly re-installed updated HP drivers (with the 2011-2012 dates) are the only ones with a .BUD extension.  Maybe my Win7 computer doesn't recognize them as drivers?  The other driver files in the '3' Folder have .dll, .gpd, and .vdf extensions.  Is there another spot they should be copied so the computer can find the drivers? I see that up the chain in the Spool Folder, next to Drivers there is an empty folder named Printers.  
    And what files (Filenames) are needed to run the 309g-m?  I assume some older drivers were kept on file when I ran the updated driver Install program.  The newer HP 2011-2012  files in the '3' Folder are hpoc30j3.BUD, mxdwdui.BUD, hpc309at.BUD, and everything else is older.  I need to know what to copy-paste to a better folder location.
    Whatever and wherever the Drivers are, my computer can not find them! 

  • Problem between (10.9) Mavericks and Photosmart Premium C310 series with the scan(ner)

    Hello,
    I have a serious problem with my Photosmart Premium C310 series with the scan(ner). I get a black image with white stripes (or an error 30) when I save my picture or my document on Mavericks (Mac OS X 10.9) installed yesterday.
    With Moutain Lion all was OK.
    My HP Scan is 2.4.3
    Model name : CN503B
    Serial Number : {Private Information Removed}
    An update is planned as soon as possible  ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Valorisa

    Hello
    Can you please advise what software you are using to scan ?  HP Scan app or Image Capture or Preview ??
    I think you are using HP Scan app, yes ?
    Did you know you can also scan using Preview or ImageCapture ?   You might try this as a test.  Make sure printer is turned on and available on same network as your Mac.
    Open up Apple's Preview app from your dock.  Under File menu, select "Import from scanner", you may have to do this twice to get printer to show up.     You should get a scan dialog window with many options to help you scan and save the file.
    Please let us know if this works, I'd like to know if the issue is with the HP scan software or something else.

  • HP Photosmart Premium C310 Series.......Printhead Problem

    I have the HP Photosmart Premium C310 Series Printer. It will no longer print. There is an error message of "Printhead Problem", with the instructions of:  Remove all Cartridges. Next, left black latch and remove printhead. Then re-install Printhead and Cartridges. I have done this several times with no success. Even went out and bought all new ink cartridges and tried those as well with no success. With this error message on the printer screen, it won't let me get off of that screen.

    Hi annie47here, and thanks for the reply.
    After reviewing the issue, it's possible you are experiencing printhead failures.  The best recommendation I could make would be to contact HP directly.  You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: Contact HP Worldwide.

  • HP Photosmart Premium C310 Series crashing/rebooting constantly

    For the past several months (six, maybe? could be more) my printer has been crashing and rebooting every 5–10 minutes. This happens even when I am not using it for anything (although when it happens in the middle of printing something it's even worse).
    The printer is on the wireless network. The reboot only happens when one of the two Windows 7 computers in the house is also on the network. If those machines are powered down, the reboot problem does not seem to occur. Connecting my MacBook or either of my two Ubuntu boxes has no effect. For this reason, I am led to believe that the problem is some interaction between Windows 7 and firmware on the device.
    My firmware and drivers are up-to-date. I was hoping that I could find some way to roll back the printer firmware to the factory version and just turn off auto-updates to see if that would prevent the problem, but HP certainly doesn't make that easy.
    I found a similar discussion in another thread (I don't believe that it's the same printer model, but I'm not sure). There was no solution: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/HP-Photosmart-6525-rebooting-itself/t...
    The printer has rebooted twice while I wrote this post. After working on this problem off-and-on for months, the only solution that I can come up with is to throw the printer away and never buy anything from HP again.

    Nope. Didn't work at all.
    I called HP support, as suggested, and it has thus far proved a monumental waste of time. After two calls totalling more than two hours, HP customer support was unable to solve the problem.
    They had me uninstall and reinstall all drivers and software (including all of their blasted bloat-ware for coupons.com and other such nonsense). They took remote control of one of my computers to poke around. I’d already done several of the things they suggested, such as setting a static IP. We but they checked again anyway. The printer continued to reboot about every 12 minutes or so throughout this process, whenever one of the Windows 7 machines was connected to the network. (We verified again that no such crashes happened when the machines were disconnected.)
    They could find no cause for the problem, and suggested that it was a problem with my computer (some software or spyware that I have installed). They suggested that either I reformat both computers and start from scratch or that I pay a local technician to investigate. When I pointed out that this would be far more expensive that simply buying a new printer from a different company, I got the verbal equivalent of a shrug. “Well, this printer was manufactured in 2011.” “Yes,” I replied. “A whole three years ago!”
    “We uninstalled all of the software, sir,” I was told. “There is no more communication between the printer and the computer.” When I pointed out that this was obviously untrue, given that the problem only occurs when one of the Windows 7 machines is online, I was told, “That’s why we think that it’s some software on your computer, sir.”
    When I suggested that there may be a problem with the printer firmware, I was told that that was impossible, because I was still able to print from my Mac, which I wouldn’t be able to do if there were a problem with my firmware. I responded that that’s a very narrow view of what a “firmware problem” might entail, and the fellow with technical support (whose name was Ronald) replied that the firmware didn’t really have anything to do with printing, and only ran the front panel display anyway.
    I laughed a hollow, sad laugh, realizing that this fellow obviously had no idea what was going on, and attempted to explain that the firmware is responsible for translating instructions from the computer into discrete actions, controlling the operation of the printing hardware itself, and in this case would probably be responsible for handling things like network communication. He admitted that he was out of ideas, and escalated the case to their software engineering team.
    The whole time, all I can think of is this: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/printers
    I eagerly await their call.

  • Photosmart Premium C309a series: full system restore fails to result in HP Scan functioning

    I had to recently have my iMac hard drive replaced. Upon performing a full system restore from a Time Machine back-up, I have found that HP Scan fails to operate at all, despite the printer itself performing its other tasks normally. This means that ABBYY Fine Reader also fails to operate with HP Scan as its 'calling application'.
    I am using Mac OS X 10.6.8 and have run Apple Software Update and downloaded all outstanding HP software. Prior to my hard drive failure HP Scan worked fine. The full restore has installed the version I was running then as now, 2.4.1.
    In order to obtain the Scan software obviously I originally downloaded the full software package from HP in order to configure its functions -however the current printer driver version is 4.1.2.
    From the Error window that appears when I try to launch HP Scan, it appears that the problem may relate to HP Scan profiles not being loaded in the Library folder. However when I look there I am not able to determine if anything is missing. I suspect that they are there, but not being recognised.
    As I already have all the software to operate the printer functions, why should I repeat the download to get HP Scan and the scanning function to operate again?
    This question was solved.

    Hi @MJM_archiver,
    I see by your post that you had to replace the hardrive and after doing a full system restore from the Time Machine back-up, you are unable to scan. I can help you with this.
    Try scanning through the Apple Software, to see if you have the same result.
    How to Scan: Mac OS X v10.6.
    The files might not have copied over properly from the back up.
    I would verify and repair the disk permissions, reset the printing system on the Mac, then run the full uninstall and reinstall of the software.
    Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
    Close all applications.
    On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
    Double-click Disk Utility.
    Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
    Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
    Restart the computer.
    Reset the Printing System:
    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
    Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.
    Click Printers & Scanners.
    Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
    Click OK to confirm the reset.
    Type the correct Name and Password.
    Click OK to reset the printing system.
    Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    HP Photosmart Full Feature Software and Drivers - Mac OS X v10.4, v10.5, and v10.6.
    Test the printer.
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a nice day!

  • AirPrint on HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One Printer - C309a series.

    Is there anything that can help my iPad or iPhone find the correct printer through AirPrint for an HP Photosmart Premium C309a series?

    I don't think the 309 is AirPrint enabled.  The list is in the link below.  If it is not an AirPrint printer, then you will need a third party app like print and share or printopia.

    Try resetting the printer two different ways:
    1. From printer screen, press Setup > Network > Reset Network Defaults.
    2. Turn off your printer, hold # and 6 keys while and a bit after turning it back on.

  • HOW DO I SET UP AN EPRINT ADDRESS FOR MY HP PHOTOSMART 310 SERIES ?

    IT SAYS PRINTER'S EMAIL NOT ACTIVATED

    I've tried everything to get this Photosmart Premium 310 working with ePrint, and it seems to me that either the printer or the service itself is defective.
    The printer works on the network here:  I can send a page to it and it prints out.  However, every time I try to get the email address, it says, "Problem connecting to web services." 
    The printer shows two of five bars in the wireless section.
    I have turned web services on and off.
    I have moved the printer around.
    I allowed the printer to remain "Initializing" all night, then unplugged it and re-started.
    It seems to me that, if it can wirelessly accept a color page from my computer, it ought to be able to communicate with a server.
    Should I return this to the store?

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 won't recognize HP Photosmart Premium C410

    My HP Photosmart Premium C410 works with all my applications except Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 - which is great for an imaging program!!  The printer is defintely selected as default.  However, there are two options avilable on the "print" page of PSE and they are very similar - perhaps indicating an issue.  The first on the drop-down is "HP Photosmart Prem C410 series fax", while the second (which I have selected) is "HP Photosmart prem C410 series".  Every time I try to print from PSE, it starts up the fax process.....!!  Anyone any ideas - all advice gratefully received.  
    This question was solved.

    Kellerrolf,
    Please try to rename the "HP Photosmart Premium C410 series Fax"  to "PS C410 Fax". You can change it by:
    Open "Printers"
    Right click the HP Photosmart Premium C410 series Fax and selecting rename
    If it still is loading the fax when you printer there are few more steps that we can try.

  • Photosmart Premium 310a Error Message

    My fairly new Photosmart Premium 310 all in one suddenly started show the error message:
    "INK CARTRIDGE PROBLEM" followed by the message "The following ink cartridges seem to be missing or damaged".
    This is followed by the symbols for all of the ink cartridges. Followed by the words "Refer to Printer documentation."
    I have followed all the instructions such as resetting machine, resetting cartridges, installing new cartridges, cleaning print head etc. but no results. Next stop garbage can ?
    Thank you for any help.

    Hi shewcn,
    From your description, it sounds like you have completed all of the steps in the following document; 'The following ink cartridge appears to be missing or damaged' Error Message Displays on the Product. If this is correct, I'd say the next step is to call HP. Don;t through the printer in the trash, you might be offered a discount on a newer model if you talk to a support professional in the tech department. They may be able to offer you a trade in trade up.
    The number to call HP is 1-800-474-6836 for Canada and US, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.

  • Is the HP Photosmart Premium series C309 compatible with chromebooks

    I just bought a Samsung Chromebook -Is my current printer compatible? Its an HP Photosmart Premium series-C309 from 2009
    If not then can I download software or do I need to get a new printer?-thanks for your time!

    Hello lths,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    The Photosmart Premium C309 would not be compatible with the Chromebooks in the traditional way. With that being said, you can attempt to add the printer to Google Cloud Print. The steps are shown here: Using Google Cloud Print with your HP Printer, under HP classic printers.

  • Computer loses network connectivi​ty with HP Photosmart Premium All In One C309a software installed

    I am having an issue where my computer (Window XP Media Edition SP3) will loose all network connectivity after some variable amount of time when my HP Photosmart Premium All In One C309a drivers and software are installed. I cannot access the internet or other computers on my network from the affected computer until it is rebooted. When I uninstall the drivers and software, I do not encounter the loss of network connectivty. When I reinstall, the problem starts again. Within 24 hours, I will lose network connectivity requiring a restart. I have the software and drivers installed on another computer running Windows XP Professional SP3 without problems. Both computers are connected via ethernet cable to the network. The printer is connect to the network wirelessly. The printer works fine initiall from the affected computer but then after some variable amount of time computer seems to lose network connectivity. The driver installed is HP Photosmart C309a series (61.81.634.0). Thanks in advanced.

    There are a few things to check.
    First, is your security software getting in the way, here?  Disable it to test.
    Second, have you downloaded this firmware patch for your printer? 
    Third, did you install this software? 
    We'll go from there...
