HP Photosmart premium C309g-m not printing AGAIN

HP Photosmart premium C309g-m printer is not printing.  I use Vista.  This product will print when it wants to.  But every time I need to print from Quickbooks for a deadline, it refuses to print anything at all.  But if I have no deadlines, no problem!  I can print anything from anywhere anytime I want.  But the minute I need to send out an invoice from Quickbooks, like today, I'm screwed.
I have:
tried to print.  message is Error Printing.  No reference number, nada, zippo!
restart printer.  reprint document.  same as above.
reboot laptop & printer.  reprint document.  (This usually fixes the problem) but sorry, same as above this time.
tried to refresh printer from control panel.  Nada.
tried to restart printer from printer list.  Screw you it yells back at me.
I try to use the Tech Help line for HP and they tell me.  "We can get it working.  But we charge $99."  And I say "Screw you, I don't have any money left."
My deadline is in two minutes, and the invoices are not done.  I have to go into a 2 hour appointment.  But I'll be back.  So maybe some kind hearted soul will send a message back on how I can fix this problem.  It is frequent and irritating as hell. 

is anyone able to help with this WON'T PRINT problem???????

  • HP Photosmart Premium C309g Can not print Photos using small paper tray.

    When I try to print using small paper tray, I get a message that states: "out of paper, add paper to main tray".
    I have had this printer about 18 mos but have never tried printing found the small paper tray.
    Does anyone have a solution to this ?? 

    Hi,
    Fisrt off all check if the paper tray is correctly on the unit, so take it of and replace it. Second go into printing preferances, select photo printing and find where you can select tha paper source, put it on phototray and try again.

  • HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m Wireless Printing Not Working

    I have a HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m running as a network printer that is not working on my Windows 8.1 laptop.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the all-in-one software, which did not help (and the solution center software had issues, but a test page did successfully print), nor did the HP troubleshooting software.  
    Whenever I click print nothing seems to happen, I see no document in the spooler.  I have also tried selecting the 'printer properties' only to have a pop up say the driver is not installed.  
    I need help!!!!

    Hi ZacharyW, and thanks for getting back to me!
    I know you have uninstalled in the past, but I would like to take a bit of a different approach:
    First, you'll want to uninstall the current software:
    Uninstalling the Printer Software
    Then, put your printer into clean boot mode:

    Once the computer is in clean boot mode, reinstall the software via the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
    Good luck and please keep me posted!

  • HP Photosmart Premium c309g wireless network printing problem with 64bit Windows 7

    A problem exists where the c309g is installed on a wireless network where one of the PCs on the network is running 64bit Windows 7.  Amongst other things, the printer may print very slowly, appear disconnected or unavailable through the HP Solutions Centre and may not be pingable from any of the PCs on the network.  The problem will affect ALL the PCs on the network !
     Network monitoring software will also show an enormous level of network traffic between the printer and the Windows 7 PC.  As soon as the Windows 7 PC is switched off, everything returns to normal. 
    The problem is solved by disabling the HP Network Devices Support Service on the Windows 7 PC as follows;
    Run services.msc from the Run command on the Windows 7 PC.  This will display the list of all the local services running on the PC together with Description, Status and Startup Type information for  each.
    Scroll down the list until you see the HP Network Devices Support Service.
    Right click on it and select Properties to bring up the Properties window.
    Use the dropdown list to Change the Startup Type to Disabled.
    Once disabled, the printer will start to work normally.  HP are aware of this problem which may be unique to the 64bit version of Windows 7.

    Thanks but no luck... I tried it..... Got back from son's baseball game.. checked on printer - as in tried to have printer print something... nothing...   prior to going out I went ahead and deleted the 6  c309 print devices and reinstalled a new one and got the printer to work...  after the game it was back to ignoring print commands...  When I go to printers there again are 6 print devices for this printer - one titled HP Photsmart Premium C309 g-m... then 4 copies of that and then one version titled HP0AC58C (HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m).
    As I just finished writting that... the printer came alive and started printing some previous jobs... so maybe it helped - not sure but what about the 6 versions of print devices?   I just checked the statuses of all the versions and the default is offline... the various copies have different amounts in que but have a pending status of pending deletion...  When I tried to make one of the other copies the default printer - it errors out with  0x00000709

  • HP Photosmart Premium c309a does not print black

    My printer does not print black ink, and when I print documents, it prints blue in its place.  The cartridge worked fine yesterday and is over half full.  Nothing new was installed on the computer that is used to print.  I have tried cleaning the printheads several times, including manual cleaning, to no avail.  I have printed test pages and those only come out in blue.  Would like some help as I need to print several documents for customers.

    The document here has troubleshooting steps that may help resolve black not printing on your Photosmart c309a.  Be sure to check the vents.  If the above does not resolve the problem the post here may help.

  • Printing problem on HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m

    Hi all,
    I am currently using HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m to print my documents and it runs on five different ink catridges. I usually print text documents using the black ink catridge. I realised that the moment the ink runs low(when they display the ! sign in the yellow triangle), the print out quality is significantly reduced in the sense that my text documents are printed with certain areas being missed out such as having half a line of text not being printed etc when my ink isn't even out or nearing to being completely out.
    Does anybody else experience this problem? Is this problem exclusive to this model or just this particular printer I am using? Is there any way I can go about solving this problem because essentially this means that I have to replace the ink catridges once they go low because I can't print a complete document at all! Thanks!

  • HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m prints wirelessly from Mac & Vaio, but not Dell...

    We bought an HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m about a month ago. It will print from my (old) Mac Book Pro and from hubby's new Sony Vaio, via cable, via bluetooth, and via wireless. We want to add a Dell laptop, and have installed the latest printer software from the HP website.
    When we go to "add a device" on the Dell, the process goes through "Checking network configuration"  and FINDS the printer (we have it set to automatic IP). We select the printer and click Next, the software says installing device and runs netowrk diagnostics without a problem.... and then we get an error at the installing device screen that says "Printer Setup has failed to complete, click Retry to Try again or Next to continue without connecting the printer."
    Very  frustrated! Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for any help. I thought maybe it was a port issue, but we turned the firewall OFF, and no dice.

    You could download and run this very handy utility.

    My Photosmart Premium C309g/m is suddenly NOT printing page one of whatever print job is sent to it.  How can i fix this?

    Please read this post then provide some details.   What operating system? How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, Wireless LAN, bluetooth?
    Is the first page blank of just missing entirely?  
    What program are you printing from?  Does the same thing happen if you print from Notepad or Wordpad?  (If not then check the settings in your program to make sure you are sepcifying then entire page range desired for printing).

  • HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m will not connect wirelessly to laptop

    Hi
    I am having huge issues with my HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m. I have had it for just over a year, and have NEVER had any problems with it.
    I am going to give as much information as I can.
    I have:
    HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m printer
     Samsung ML-2010 Series (Working wirelessly)
    Gateway (Acer) NV5915h laptop
    Windows 7 Home Premium   
    64-bit Operating System
    Intel(R) Pentium (R)CPU  P6200 2.13GHz
    4.00GB Ram
    Norton 360 Premier Edition
    Wireless Logitech Mouse
    Wireless Microsoft keyboard
    It started about 2 weeks ago
    At first it would lose connection, and then I would have to reboot my laptop and the printer, and it would come back. Then I had to start removing the printer and then re-installing it. It worked for a bit, but now I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
    I disabled my Norton while I did everything.
    I tried adding the Photosmart through the install CD, Manually adding it, disabling the HP services, and I downloaded the setup from HP, in case there was something wrong with my CD. I have gone through the entire trouble-shooter.
    I have run through the install CD over a dozen times, it finds the printer and goes all the way to the end, and it says “printer setup has failed to complete. Click retry to try installing again or click next to continue without connecting to the printer now, I will connect later."
    I also went to
    Start typed in cmd Services.msc  located the HP Network Devices Support  right click Properties changed start up type to Disabled. Then re-installed the printer. It didn’t work!
    I uninstalled all the HP software, and then installed it again.
    I even tried typing the IP address in.
    If I open a webpage and type in the IP, it brings up my printer; it shows everything with no problems.
    When I added it manually I tried to set it as my default printer and I get error0X00000709. It won’t let me set it as the default, so I tried leaving my other one as the default, and then selecting the HP Photosmart from the dropdown list, then print. Same thing happens I get the error.
    I also installed through a wired (USB) connection, so that I could get all the driver updates. It updated everything, and I was able to print to it, but then when I went to switch to wireless, it errors.
    I also installed it by:
    Start Devices and printer  add printer add a network,  wireless or Bluetooth printer.
    It searches for my printer, it finds it. The problem is it finds 3 of the HP Photosmart!!
    It shows them as follows:
    HP0AB1A0 (HP Photosmart premium c309g-m)               IP http:\\192.168.1.70:3910
    HP Photosmart on OWNER-PC                                             IP: \\OWNER-PC\ HP Photosmart
    Samsung on OWNER-PC                                                        IP \\OWNER-PC\Samsung) (working)
    Photosmart Premium C309g-m (HP)                                   IP 192.168.1.70.
     I have gone through and installed them one by one, and deleting it when it didn’t work.
    I have gone through the entire fix it problems on the HP website.
    I can print to both of my printers through our desktop computer. I can print to my Samsung wirelessly from my Laptop; it’s just the HP that won’t print.
    This is so frustrating!  I used to work for HP, so I have gone through all the tricks I know.
    Please help I really need to get this working. My email is [email protected], if you want to contact me directly. I might forget to come and check this.
    Thank you in advance to anyone who has any ideas!  

    I am having the same problem with our hp 5514 printer.
    IT SHOULD JUST WORK!!!!!
    Why will hp not answer anybody here?
    We have even changed printer from 5510 to 5514 and it will not work.
    Please answer as this is very frustrating.

  • Extremely slow wireless printing with HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m

    I'm seeing extremely slow print speeds when printing wirelessly from a Mac or a Windows XP system to a new HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m printer. The printer begins printing immediately when I request a print, but it only prints one line. It will then take about 15 minutes to print the rest of the page, printing each line after a very long pause. Demo page printing doesn't exhibit this problem, only documents from programs like Word 2008, Safari and Firefox (tried firefox on PC and Mac) are affected.
    If I connect to the printer through a USB connection it prints fine, so this problem appears to be with wireless printing only.
    Printer: HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m
    Computer: Mac mini (Late 2009 model) (also tried a Windows XP laptop as a comparison, using latest drivers from HP's website)
    OS: Mac OS X 10.6.2 with all available updates installed
    Computer connection method: Wired Ethernet connection to wireless router
    Printer drivers: version 2.2.1 (Apple supplied, HP drivers never installed as system shipped with 10.6)
    Wireless router: Apple TimeCapsule (Early 2009) 1TB, running in a/n and b/g modes on 2.4 and 5GHz. TimeCapsule is in bridging mode as the DSL modem handles DHCP service
    Encryption: WPA2 Personal, no MAC filtering or hiding of the SSID.
    IP addressing scheme: All addresses are handed out by DHCP server with no reservations of any kind
    The TimeCapsule is sitting three inches from the printer and the printer indicates full signal. Connection of the printer to the wireless network and setup of the printer on the Mac went without a hitch. Only when printing a test document did we discover the problem. The wireless network is behaving as expected when accessing the Internet from both Mac and Windows devices (tested with a Dell laptop running XP and a MacBook running OS X 10.6.2), so I don't see any overall problems with the wireless network.
    Attempted remedies:
    1. Rebooting and powering off, waiting, powering on computer
    2. Resetting the print subsystem, turning the printer off and on again and reinstalling the printer
    3. Unplugging power from the printer and letting it sit for several minutes before trying to print wirelessly.
    None of these worked.
    This question was solved.

    I don't think there is anything wrong with the DSL modem HW.  There might be an issue with how print data is being routed though.
    Please try the second experiment where you blank-out the default gateway and DNS entries from the printer's internal web configuration page.  Open the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address.  Select Networking and then Wireless (802.11).  Under the IPv4 Configuration tab, select Manual IP:
    For Manual IP Address, use the existing printer IP address.
    For Manual Subnet Mask, use 255.255.255.0
    For Manual Default Gateway, leave blank.  This is important.
    Select Manual DNS Server:
    Leave both the Manual Preferred DNS Server and Manual Alternate DNS Server fields empty.  This is important.
    Press Apply.
    Turn off the DSL modem, the printer and all computers connected to your network.  Wait 60 seconds then turn on the DSL modem and then turn on the printer.  Then turn on the computers.  See if this corrects the printing speed.

  • Problem with installing Solution Center for a HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One Printer - C309g

    Hi folks,
    I've searched many threads and found some directions to remedy this, tried them and have had no luck.
    I'm running Windows 7.  All updates are current.  When I bought the printer I installed the software (on Windows 7 OS) from the disc and everything was fine.  Fast forward a year and Solution Center stopped working.
    Uninstalled all HP software to reinstall.  I was only able to reinstall HP Update.  I was able to load the basic drivers for print and scan, but not the entire software suite including Solution Center.  The installation stops abruptly after "installing updates".
    I even downloaded and tried "PS_AIO_06_C309g-m_USW_Full_Win_enu_140_175" and got the same result as the original installation disc.
    What can I do with my printer (HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One Printer - C309g)???
    Thanks,
    Alex

    HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One Printer - C309g support eprinting and airprinter
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hello RetiredHP,
    Thanks for the post.  Ok, we may have several options here.  With ePrint, you can use the mobile app. to print from your printer from any location with your iPad or iPhone.  If you have downloaded and installed the app., then check the below.  If the ePrint app. is not showing (should look like icon below), check the link below these steps.  The 2nd link provides some additional information.  The key is to ensure that both your iPad and the printer are on the same network.  Good Luck!
    Figure 3: HP ePrint mobile app icon
    If prompted, provide your iTunes account information, and then click Get. iTunes automatically installs the app on your mobile device.
    Step two: Activate the mobile app (optional)
    Why should I activate the mobile app?
    If you activate, you unlock all the features of the HP ePrint mobile app. You can print to any HP ePrint-enabled printer (to which you have been given access) from anywhere your mobile device has Internet access. You can also print Microsoft Office documents and Web pages, or save the Web pages to print later. HP ePrint mobile app even helps you with HP printer setup and lets you monitor the status of your print jobs.
    If you do not activate, you can still print directly to your supported Wi-Fi-enabled HP printer, but only when your mobile device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network. You can print photos, images, PDFs, and text files saved on your mobile device.
    Use the following steps to activate the mobile app.
    On your Apple device, tap the HP ePrinticon, and then tap Activate.
    Type your email address in the Activate using your emailbox, and then tapActivate. The HP ePrint service sends you an email containing an Activation Code.
    Check your email, and then write down the Activation Code sent by the HP ePrint service.
    On the Apple device, press the Home button ( ) twice, and then tap HP ePrint.
    Type the Activation Code into the box, and then tap Activate.
    The app displays a message to confirm activation.

    Hi Tomiwa,
    You cannot print from the iPad to that printer. AirPrint and Bluetooth are completely different.
    There may be apps you can buy that will enable using that printer, but that is not an ideal solution.
    That particular printer has had many bad reviews, and is unreasonably expensive for its features. Considering that you just bought the printer, as well as its lack of AirPrint, I suggest you return it and buy a printer that supports AirPrint.

  • My HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m printer frequently gives me false "low ink" readings

    My HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m printer frequently gives me false "low ink" readings, which wouldn't be a big deal except that unlike other printers I've had, instead of just printing as best it can on low ink, it refuses to print at all.
    I know the readings are false:
    (a) because I've only recently refilled the ink - (since this started I write down when I refilled the ink and note the number of print jobs, which can be as low as 10 and the false readings can occur) and
    (b) my only work around so far is to turn the printer off and on until the false readings stop, it then shows the correct ink levels and does print, but his can often take 5 or 6 times of "off and on." Very annoying.
    Questions:
    Has anyone else experienced this?
    If so, is there a fix?
    If no fix, is there a way to change the printer default configuration so it will print anyway -with low ink - instead of simply refusing to print?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you

    Maybe there is some ink on the connections to the cartridges. This document may help with checking those areas after you installed new cartridges last time:
