HP PSC 1317 all-in-one Prints slowly

I have owned my HP 1317 for nearly 5 years & in that time it has performed really well. Lately however its speed of printing has slowed to a snails pace - it can take up to 10 to 15 minutes to print out a simple Word document.
The machine hasnt been dropped, knocked or otherwise abused, its has nearly full ink cartridges and the print quality is fine, with no spurious lines, smudges or other issues.
When a document is sent to print, the carriage will eventually move, sweep back & forward maybe 3 or 4 times & then suddenly stop, wait for up to a minute before moving again and then repeat this cycle until the document is complete.
Do you have any suggstions please as to how we can fix this as its driving me nuts !!
Many Thanks

Most likely one of your print cartrdiges has failed and is incorrectly reporting its temperature.  I do not recall if the PSC 1317 can print with one of the cartrdiges removed but if so try the following:  remove the color cartrdige and print a simple text page from notepad.  If the print is normal speed then the color cartridge is the issue and should be replaced.  If the printer still pauses at each swath then reinstall the color cartridge and remove the black cartridge.  Print the page from notepad once again.  Does the printer now pause during printing?  If not then the black cartridge is the issue and should be replaced.
If the printer will not print with one of the cartridges removed (or if one of the cartrdiges is identified by the above procedure as the issue) then try cleaning the cartrdige contacts as shown here.  This is for a different cartridge series but the procedure would be the same.

  • Windows 7 and HP psc 1317 All in One printer

    A friend has a new laptop with Windows 7 installed. I am trying to install the software for his HP psc 1317 series all in one. I have down loaded the drivers etc from the HP site but despite running it as an administrator, both from the original disc and the download, it hangs up half way through telling me to run it as an administrator which I am. (The run as command no longer exists in Win 7) As the 1317 is an old unit but worked perfectly in XP do we have to throw it away which is a shame? I have gone into setup in the software and clicked to run as administrator but to no avail.

  • Hp-psc 1317 all-in-one printing problems

    I have a hp psc 1317 printer scanner.  It is connected to my laptop running Windows Vista.  Recently the print quality diminished until now when I print a document it sounds like printing is happening but there is no mark on the paper whatsoever.  
    Today I downloaded and installed the HP Solution Centre software.  My ink levels are pretty full and when I attempt a test document the software doesn't seem to think there is a problem although still nothing is printing on the paper.
    I am completely confsued as to what is causing this problem.  The only thing I can think might be connected to the problem is that in the printer window of the control panel two printers are showing: hp psc 1310 and hp psc 1310 (copy 1).  I'm not sure why the printer has been listed twice but I have  chosen each printer in turn and attempted to print a document.  When the 'original' printer is selected nothing is printed at all but if I select the 'copy' printer it goes through the process described above.
    There is obviously not a problem with ink levels and the printer and computer are communicating but something somewhere is going wrong and I'd love someone's help if at all possible.
    Thanks so much
    Chris

  • HP PSC 1317 All-In-One Problems

    I am using a HP PSC 1317 All-In-One printer located on my Windows network, Mshome, connected to my Desktop Computer (PC). Using two Windows-powered laptops with the HP PSC printer being 'Shared' I am successfully able to print out documents over the network, wirelessly.
    Today I have spent most of my time trying to get this same result using my PowerBook G4.
    I connect to my Network, Mshome, open up a document and select print. My current printer is not listed so I click to add one. I then go through the steps required to add a printer to my PowerBook over the network. This all goes well until is lists it as 'Generic' to which I open up and select HP. I scroll up and down the list umpteen times to find my printer model is not listed so for most of my day I have been trying out official HP drivers for OS X for my model of printer including 3rd party drivers that all don't seem to work.
    I bit the bullent and decided to install the printer directly via USB on to my PowerBook. Despite installing unwanted applications on my PowerBook that works and I can print out successfully. Using this same method, I try to add the printer over the network, with it still plugged in to my PowerBook, thinking that I would be able to locate the drivers, but still no luck (or no idea where these drivers will be located). I give up and plug the printer back in to my Desktop PC and then try to add it using the same process before but unable to locate the required drivers and the product model under HP.
    I am totally clueless as to what I can do to have my PowerBook print out my work wirelessly using my HP PSC 1317 All-In-One printer using my Windows Network, Mshome.
    Usually I am quite quick to fixing these sort of computer/hardware-related problems but this one simply has me stumped. Any help and adive on this would greatly help and end a wasted day.
    Regards,
    Steve

    There was no PSC 1310 model choice in the menu. Deskjet 900 series doesn't work and, yes, at one point I did install Ghostscript. My printer does, however, work on the Windows network using multiple computers and laptops running Windows. Nevertheless, connecting to the network and using the printer using my PowerBook doesn't.
    Nevermind. My alternative is that I can send my printable documents to a Windows computer on the network to print out. Nothing I cannot bypass anyway.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Paper Jam for HP PSC 1610 All-in-One Printer

    Paper Jam for HP PSC 1610 All-in-One Printer:
    I had a paper jam and cleared the paper from the printer.  Now every time I turn the printer "on" it picks up the top piece of paper from the tray and runs it about ½  to ¾ of the way thru the paper feed, stops, and then displays message "paper jam clear paper and then press OK".  When I do that it simply picks up the next piece of paper off the tray and does the message again.  If I push the OK button on the printer it will simply finish the ejection and then pick up the next paper from the tray, and do the same thing.  I have examined the interior (and exterior) of the printer for paper scraps and  any other obvious sign of trouble (dirty drive wheels, missing rollers, broken springs, etc...) and can not see anything unusual. I can not print a test print because of the paper jam message.  I am running Windows XP and the printer has been working fine for months (until this recent jam).  I did all the steps from the HP fix it site including clean rollers, plug and unplugged,  carriage travel OK and more. Don't know what to do now........Any help would be great!!!!   Thank you!

  • Hp psc 1315 all-in-one printer

    I have installed a hp psc 1315 all in one printer on my new Mac OS X version 10.9.5.
    While I can print without any problems, I don't have access to scan a document from the printer to my computer.
    Can anyone help with this?
    Thank you.

    Hello @annlf 
    Welcome to the HP Community!
    I hope to help you with the scanning concern you have today.
    Unfortunately, you will not be able to scan using HP software with your PSC 1315 (older model), on Mavericks (newer OS X), as there is no Full Feature driver (includes scanning software) available.
    However, you do have some other options to scan. See this link for your options. Scroll down when the guide loads and select "How do I scan with the driver from Apple Software Update?"

  • Installing HP PSC 1350 all-in-one printer/scanner

    In the past, I could usually solve the "Offline" or "Not Connected" problems by unplugging my printer for a few minutes, but that no longer works. So, I decided to buy another one. However, just before clicking on the BUY button on Amazon, I decided to try to fix the problem one more time. Part of the "fix" was deleting my printer from the computer and then reinstalling it. This is where I'm now stuck. I deleted it, but I can't reinstall it. I get to the ADD window, but everything is grayed out. So, how do I install my printer? I might add that the HP instructions that I was following (OSX v. 10.9 Mavericks- Installing and using the printer on a Mac) are what got me this far.

    Have you installed the v10.9 Mavericks compatible driver yet >>  Software & driver downloads HP PSC 1350 All-in-One Printer | HP® Support
    After you download the driver, open System Preferences > Printer & Scanners > Print
    Delete the current printer by selecting it then click -  (minus)
    Then click + to add the printer back in.
    That should load the driver for you.

Please help me to find software for this (scanner document) I have lost the CD lont time back can i download This some where?

    Hi there,
    I understand you're looking for drivers for your PSC 1210 on Windows 7. I will certainly do my best to guide you in this issue.
    At this time there are no HP drivers available for this printer for Windows 7. You can still use the printer with Windows 7, you will just have to use the drivers available within Windows 7. That document will walk you through what you need to do in order to get printing again, and will also show you how to scan with this Windows driver.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!!

  • Hp psc 1210 all in one printer feeding error

    I have a model 1210 all in one printer and it will not feed paper. it sounds like something its working, but not gripping the paper. PLEASE ADVISE

    Hello @anne0701 , and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I can see you're experiencing paper feed issues.  I would like to help!
    I would recommend performing a  power reset.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would also suggest following the steps in this video on PSC feed issues:

    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • HP PSC 2355 all-in-one printer cuts off bottoms of letters

    My HP PSC 2355 All-In-One Printer cuts off the bottoms of letters. Photos are fine. 3rd HP black cartrige, got worse today.
     On a Mac, 10.9.3.

    Hi @timed 
    I would like to help you with your 2355 printer. A printer reset can initiate an alignment. Please use the following document to troubleshoot the issue, and let me know the outcome of your efforts; Troubleshooting Print Quality Problems with the Diagnostic Page.
    If the issue remains unresolved after following all of the steps in the link above, I recommend contacting HP.
    Don't hesitate to call, although the printer may be out of warranty, the cartridges could be in warranty; therefore, there wouldn't likely be a fee for the phone support. HP will, at HP's option, either replace products under warranty that prove to be defective or refund the purchase price.
    They could even determine after troubleshooting that it is a problem with the printer, in which case they may offer you a discount on a newer model.
    The number to call HP is 1-800-474-6836 for Canada and US, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
    To find the “Warranty Ends” date, look in the following table for the date's location on each product. The date follows the YYYY/MM/DD or YYYY/MM format, where YYYY indicates the year, MM indicates the month, and DD indicates the day.
    I hope this helps.

  • PSC 1510 All in one printer - won't print even black and white when colour cartridge not recognised

    My PSC 1510 All in one printer is flashing the "check printer cartrige icon" and both "Black" and "Colour" icons at the bottom left of the printer.
    It won't print at all, even when I select grayscale (black and white). The help pages tell me that if I remove the colour cartridge the printer will switch to backup mode and I'll still be able to print in black and white (though not copy or scan). But this is not the case, and I can find no way of switching manually to backup mode. The help pages have no useful explanation of backup mode. I've also tried cleaning the cartridge (which I'm pretty sure isn't empty) but that makes no difference.
    Can anyone help? I'd be very grateful.  

    gabri21 wrote: I have a very similar problem with my PSC1510 but only the colour cartridge light is blinking. I am also unable to find any useful information to set up printing in back up mode. Can anyone assist in resolving this problem for us?
    With only one cartridge light blinking I would suspect the cartridge, they do rarely fail (much more often for reman cartridges, see here).  Clean the cartridge contascts as shown here.  If that fails and the cartridge is an original HP then check the warranty date as shown here.  If the cartridge is in warranty return it to your dealer for a warranty replacement.
    The printer will automatically switch to backup mode if the black (or color in some printers) cartridge is removed.  I do not know if this works with the PSC 1510, some all-in-on devices insist on having both cartridges present.
