HP Photosmart Premium Fax All-in-One Printer ( C309a) - won't turn on

Greetings everyone, I am hoping someone is able to help me.  Whenever I plug in my Photosmart Premium Fax All-in-one printer (C309a) it doesn't power up even though  the green light on the adapter is on. Has anyone had a similar issue?  Does anyone know how to rectify this problem?
Thanking you in advance.

Hi lmd2012,
I am linking the troubleshooting guide for the problem you are having.  Click Here 
Sometimes, I have been able to resolve power problems by moving the power connection from one working outlet to another working outlet.  Be sure to plug the printer's power cord directly into a wall outlet (not a surge protector, power strip or battery backup).
Also, remember a click on the Kudos star to the left is a quick "Thanks" for a helpful post.

  • HP Photosmart Premium Fax All-in-One Printer-C309a-new black ink cartridge will not print

    i just installed a new black ink cartridge (manufactured by HP) when print quality became poor in the middle of a job.  it completed the job fine, but when i have tried to print subsequently, only those parts of the document that are in color/greyscale will print.  the black is simply absent from the document.  the supply level is showing as fine and all diagnostics indicate there is no probem.  i have not received any error messages.  i have tried turning the printer on/off.  i have tried cleaning the printheads.  i have tried uninstalling & reinstalling the cartridge.  i do not have any additional black cartridges to try to see if that will solve the problem, but as noted above, it did work initially.  i am just printing to regular plain white printer paper.  i have tried all the relevant steps in the HP troubleshooting document for poor print quality posted elsewhere on this page.  nothing has worked!  someone else's post mentioned resetting the printer, but did not say how it was done.  any ideas on a solution??? thanks!

    To reset the printer, follow these steps:
    While the power is on, remove the power cord from the back of the printer. Wait at least 30 seconds, then connect the power cord to the back of the printer, then turn the unit on. That will complete a power reset.
    Now, missing black during printing can be a result of a couple of things. If it is only missing say when printing from Word, then the print settings within Word are set to grayscale only (or something similar) which would exclude the black cartridge. If it is from all programs, then it is either the main print settings set to grayscale only, or the printhead/cartridge is clogged up/dirty. If it is not the print settings, then create a print quality report and follow the steps in this document:

  • Photosmart premium 3-all-in-one printer won't print black ink

    My hp photosmart 3-all-in-one C310 series does not print black ink on the page.  The cartridge is new, and all of the ink cartridges are full.  The printer is 3 years old, just one month out of warranty.  I have downloaded all the latest updates, I'm pretty sure, and have gone to the troubleshooting page on the hp web site.  I have followed all the directions, twice, and still no black print.  Please help, I do not want to buy a new printer!

    Under Tools, I only see "Clean cartridges" not "Clean printhead." 
    When I selected "Clean cartridges" twice, the black ink printed!  Hooray! Once I post this, I hope get back to the page to say the problem is "Solved"!
    Oh, while I have you on-the-line, while the cartridges were being cleaned, I got a message saying that I had to download the newest hp drivers, since the ones I have are not compatible with this version of Windows.  However, I did download the latest drivers for 8.1 from your web site when I had a horrible paper jam.  After I downloaded the newer drivers, that problem was fixed.  But, since I am getting this message re incompatibility, do I have to download again?  It was only a couple of weeks ago (three at the most) that I downloaded the drivers.
    Thank you again!

  • HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer

    My HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer cuts off the last 1/2 inch when printing. I tried a hard start but that didn`t work. i`m thinking it has something to do with the heads.

    Look to your software.My hp has an "advanced" options after you hit printer preferences.  the advanced way down bottom of sceen.  Then half-way down something about print with borders - Change it to print boderless. If that not help chaNGE pAPER-SIZE IN  FIRST SCREEN.  fROM 0.5 INCH TRY 0.15. Recall all desktop printers must have space for the mechanical grips to grap the blank paper and pull it into the rollers.  Big expensive desk-size use a vacuum to "pull" paper. If and when you printer no pull paper, pull the rear "duplexer" and clean rollers.  May not be reccommended.  I used cloth towel with 90% rubbibg alcohol  - $!.00 in most drug stores.  Kleenex and such may leave "lint".  Worked for me. Good luck

    I just need some information from you first. Do you have your printer plugged directly into a wall outlet? Have you power reset your printer? Have you tried to plug it in to a different wall outlet? Have you tried using a different power cable?
    Which model of printer do you have?

Have tried the obvious stuff - ie on/ off button & disconecting/ reconnecting power but same happens. All fine until yesterday.

    Hi Stephen,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can use these steps from the article below to troubleshoot a scanner as well as a printer:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
