Hp photosmart stopped printing

my hp photosmart d110 suddenly stopped printing. i checked (from windows) it shows that it is ready. i have good wireless strength, and my wireless router is plugged in. it appears that the computer is not talking to the printer. i show that i have three items to print in my que but it cannot be started. i have turned off and restarted both the printer and my wireless router. i even reentered my wep code. nothing helps and i am baffled. i ran a test and it printed that everything is perfect. can someone please help me?
also.. the printer is checked and ready when i go to my printers and devices toolbar.

just got off the phone with customer support--I am cured --at least for now.
The first thing was to do a HARD shut down--that means unplugging the printer while it is still turned on--wait a minute or so, plug back in. Follow with cleaning the print heads and aligning,follow with quality print--I am back in business. Hope this helps someone

Printer has stopped printing in black, HP Printer Photosmart 5514

My printer suddenly stopped printing in black. We have two computers networked wirelessly, and from my husband's computer there are no problems. From my computer I can print other colors, but not black. Test prints print in colors but not black. I have tried uninstalling software, reinstalling, and reconfiguring for wireless without success. Reinstallation seems to have gone OK but problem is not resolved. I have also tried to connect via a USB port, but no success here either. I turned off the firewall for the last installation but this did not help either.

Start by following the troubleshooting steps in this document, especially check the vent as shown in step three of Solution Six.
I suspect when you print the test page in Solution Six there will be no black ink on the page. Most likely the computer you have that appears to print in black has its media settings set to photo paper, which would use the color inks to print black.
If the printer is in warranty I would suggest you Contact HP for replacement.

I have a HP Photosmart CN733A, and it recently stopped printing. Help?

Like I said, I have a HP Photosmart CN733A, and it recently stopped printing. I've always printed from this computer here at college with this same printer, and one day, it stopped. It's not a problem with the printer cartridge, I've checked. When I go to print something, the printer appears to be in working order, but nothing ever prints. What can I do?

HP Photosmart D5360 Printer stopped working with MAC once upgrade to SL?

We have a networked (not wireless printer) HP Photosmart D5360 Printer, and it connected to a Windows PC, Under Leopard we were able to print via Network sharing the printer, however since we have updated to Snow Leopard we can no longer see or print to the printer... Even though all the Windows computers (PC's) can see it and print. Nothing has changed on the network, it just simply isn't being seen by SL on our Mac's anymore...
We can see the workgroup and the computer, but it says it can't connect to the computer (a windows PC) anymore for some reason when while using Leopard we had no issues...
Suggestions? Obviously an easy fix would be to get an Airport Express adapter and plug the printer in that way thus making it a wireless printer, however we would like to get it work without spending the $100 for the Airport Express if possible.

NASCAR3D,
I don't know if this will help, but if it doesn't we'll work through the issues.
Step 1: Make sure the printer drivers on your Windows box are up to date. This step is important, since a driver mismatch could be the cause of your problem.
Step 2: Open the Print & Fax System Preference, right click on your printer, and select "Reset printing system..."
Step 3: Click the + button an the bottom of the now empty list, when the add printer window opens up, press the Windows button in the toolbar. Select your printer, and make sure the Print Using is NOT set to Generic PostScript. It should auto select your printer from the list. If not, make sure you pick it manually.
If it still doesn't work let me know and we'll see what we can do.
Just trying to help.

HP Photosmart 7515 e-All-in-One Printer - C311a - printer stopped printing

I have owned this printer for less than 1 year and not used it heavily. While it worked, it worked well - no complaints. It suddenly stopped printing black about a week ago so I searched for a resolution. The resolution offered was to replace the print head. The instructions said that replacing the print head required that all print cartridges be replaced as well. The cost for all of this now exceeds the cost of the printer ($60 print head, $75 to replace all the ink) and the solution doesn't work. Now yellow and cyan don't print and the printer reports no problem. Rest assured that this is the LAST HP printer product that I will ever purchase. There is no support to speak of and no accountabilty for the problem. Coupled with the recent "update" that required me to install new software in order to get the fax to work again, I am more than disappointed with HP. I was a die-hard HP fan until now - bye, bye HP.

So the printer is less than a year, it should still be within warranty? Have you checked by entering the serial no. below....

My hp photosmart D110 printer won't scan or print since I upgraded to Yosemite. Any suggestions?

My hp photosmart D110 printer won't scan or print since I upgraded to Yosemite. Any suggestions?

Hey clutterfromduluth,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your printer/scanner after updating to OS X Yosemite. To troubleshoot this issue check out the following:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
1. Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
2. Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
3. Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
4. Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
5. Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
1. Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
2. If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
3. Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thanks,
Matt M.

HP Photosmart D6160 printer with Windows 7 os

I have an 18 month old HP Photosmart D6160 printer that has performed excellently on my PC running Windows 2000 Professional. The printer using the installed CD software was able to provide test prints, maintenance information and most importantly show which of the six ink cartridges was empty when the printer cartridge indicator light showed a problem. I have recently bought a Packard Bell TJ65 laptop using the Windows 7 os but HP do not provide any updated drivers for this os. The Windows 7 os recognises the printer and has a basic driver which does allow me to print but in order to ascertain which of the six cartridges has a problem (low ink level or empty) I have to remove and replace each cartridge in turn in order to find out which one needs to be replaced. None of the other printer maintenance is available either. I would appreciate any advice on whether there is a workaround for this problem. Thank you in anticipation! Ken

I have exactly the same problem, I have tried on HP's website, they seem to have some software for windows 7 now, but have tried to download the patch but as the original software would not install with windows 7 OS the patch wont work, it would not be so bad if the printer was really ancient, but it is not, the company do not seem to be very supportive, I have loads of ink for it but can never tell which cartridge has run out until it stops printing that colour. What a shame there does not seem to be an answer.

HP B9180 Photosmart Pro Printer - Specialty Media Tray Not Working

HP B9180 PHOTOSMART PRO PRINTER
SPECIALTY MEDIA TRAY PROBLEM
I’ve had my HP B9180 Photosmart Pro Printer for about 2-1/2 years. My computer operating system is Windows XP (with up-to-date service packs) on a Dell XPS PC. The printer is connected directly to the computer via a USB port. It is not connected to a network router. The printer stays on continuously, is very clean & dust free and kept covered when not in use. I use the specialty media tray almost exclusively for loading the larger/heavier media. The specialty media tray suddenly stopped working recently but all other printer operations continue to function properly.
When the tray is lowered, NOTHING HAPPENS. The printhead assembly does not raise up to prepare for loading the media and there is no sound, no grinding, etc. The printer screen does not change to instruct me to load the media and there are no error messages. It just continues to read “READY”.
I have examined the tray and it still lowers and raises nice & smooth. The guide grooves the tray rides on are clean & unobstructed. Nothing appears to be broken on the tray or in the grooves. There is a small plastic arm at the bottom of the outer left guide groove that I thought may start (?) the activation process of the printheads when the lowered tray rests on it. This arm is spring-loaded and appears to be working freely with no binding. Manual operation (with my finger) of the arm does not activate anything.
Early on, when the problem first started, I tried leaving the tray lowered and on two occasions, after leaving it lowered for as much as a couple of hours, it started working on its own. Since then, I have been unable to make it work at all.
I have tried:
Turning the printer off for several minutes, then back on.
Opening all doors to check for jams or anything unusual.
Lowering and raising the specialty media tray multiple times.
Using main tray (hoping it would maybe vibrate it into working).
Turning the printer off, unplugging everything for up to 10 minutes.
Downloaded & ran the HP Hardware Diagnostic Utility (Passed).
Downloaded & ran the HP Print Diagnostic Utility, v4.1 (Passed).
Checked printer updates. Firmware & updates are OK.
Posted on the HP Support Forum for assistance (no response).
I did not run the HP Home Network Diagnostic Utility because I do not have the printer connected to my network router. It is directly connected to my computer via a USB port.
This problem has come up on the HP Support Forum a few times but I don’t believe there has been a response. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I just installed or used the same specification of Printer you mentioned above in fact all you need do is to first update your macbook pro afterwards connect your printer to your mac it will ask you if you want to download software for the printer click yes and in two minutes follow the steps and you're done. You don't need the driver nor do you need to download from an external source.
I hope this helps.

Photosmart C6180 prints too many copies of PDFs and HTML-documents

Hi,
My Photosmart C6180 prints multiple copies of documents even if I haven't asked for it. This seems to only apply to PDFs and HTML-documents, I haven't seen it happen with Word/Excel. It's not consistent, it happens most of the time but now always for these documents. When I look at the console, when it has started printing I see shortly the status "Printing - Restarting". That's probably when it starts the 2nd copy. Sometimes it stops by itself, other times it seems to be looping and I have to turn the printer off and delete the document from the queue.
HP solution center SW is updated, I run Vista with latest service packs on a Thinkpad T400s.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

My C6180 printed multiple copies of any document from my Vista OS laptop ( wireless connection ), but not from my
XP OS desktop ( USB connection), even though I selected 1 copy on the print menu. Unchecking "Enable bidirectional support" in the Properties / Ports dialog box solved the problem. Hope this helps someone too.
