Hp psc 2110 all-in-one ink level status

This is an old printer, the owner's manual has a 2002 copyright date. I thought all printer, even one this old, would be able to display the ink status of the various cartridges on my computer screen. I talked to tech support and they said to download the driver and a printer icon should be displayed on the bottom right of my screen. This laptop has Windows 7 and all the HP drivers are supposed to be downloaded automatically. I tried to update the driver from hp.com but it didn't really do anyting. There still is no printer icon on the bottom right of my screen. Tech support said that when I click on the icon I should be able to get to a page that shows ink levels for cartridges. Anybody have any ideas?
Thank you for your help. I'm a bit of a novice here.
This question was solved.

Welcome to the forums hifiguy69!
I saw your post about wanting to check the ink levels on your PSC 2110 model. With Windows 7 the full software package is not available, therefore you will not be able to see the ink levels from your desktop.
However, if you are to print a self-test, this may show the ink levels.
To print a self test:
On the printer, select Setup or Menu until "Print Report" displays, then select Enter.
I hope my post helped!
Have a great Monday

Psc 2110 all-in-one, Windows Vista 32-bit,

psc 2110 all-in-one, Windows Vista 32-bit, Tried to scan and now printer will not scan or print. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it still doesn't work. HP diagnostic said I needed a new driver and HP by passes that request.
Scanner hasn't worked very well since I put the printer on Vista. How do I get a download for a new driver from HP?

Hello 2_old ,
Please let me take a moment to say "Welcome Back" to the HP Forums.
I see that you are receiving an error message about the left ink cartridge on the printer.
It is possible that the ink cartridge is low or even empty.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
If the error is still on the printer after the unit has been connected to a wall outlet, I suggest you try another cartridge.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
I hope you have a great day and thank you for your time.

User Defined Paper Size, Windows 7, PSC 2110 all in one printer

I am trying to print a 5x7 photo using the user defined paper size of my PSC 2110 All-in-One printer. When I used X
P os, it was easy to do. Since upgrading to Windows 7, I have been using the default drivers that load with that, but it doesn't have the ability to define paper size. Is there a driver available that would let me do this? I've tried to use compatability mode to get the original drivers from the installation disc to work, but it won't do it.

Hi,
The last update was for Vista, 5 years ago:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4220...
At this stage, Windows 7 only supplies a very basic and generic print driver for this printer just for print. You may want to keep that way or buy a new printer.
Regards.

HP psc 2110 all in one and Windows 7

I have an old HP psc 2110xi all in one printer that worked fine on Windows XP. I followed the HP site instructions and did not try to load the install disc that came with it on my new Windows 7 64-bit computer. I just plugged it in and Windows 7 was supposed to have a drive for it, but there would be limited functionality of the tools per the web site.
Well actually I can now only scan to image files. The windows scan program offers only: BMP, JPG, PNG and TIF as file choices in the drop down menu. I can no longer scan to pdf files.
I have lost a lot more functionality than just not being able to see the ink level,clean the cartridges and print a test image. I am most interested in the lost ability to scan to a pdf file.
Does anyone know how I can get this back?

Hi,
Indeed the provided functionality offered by Windows Image Aquision scanning is more limited and does not PDF support.
If you Have MS Office you might be able to scan PDF files with it in some of the editions (I believe MSOffice should support WIA scanners as well):
For example, Office 2007 can provide those capabilities as you may see within the linked document.
You may also check 3rd party software (as VueScan for example) which support your scanner and provide PDF and OCR scan capabilities.
For ink level, i believe the Extended Self Test report should provide the ink levels, however i'm not perfectly sure.
You may try printing a report as following:
Press Setup and Start Color . Press the Right Arrow to scroll to Model Number and Press Enter or OK
You will not be able to get any functionality back, as te device does is not fully compatible with Windows7..
Hope it helps,
Shlomi

Mavericks scanning on psc 2110 all-in-one

I have loaded and used the priniting function on the psc 2110 successfully. I can't seem to figure out how to load the scan functionality. I tried to use the original install disk (worked on an XP machine) and was told it was for the Power PC chip. Is there anyway to get this old beast to scan under Mavericks?

Hey there @jimkz , Welcome to the Forums!
I saw your post about wanting to scan with your PSC 2110 and Mavericks. I have dug around for some information for you and will post a guide below. There is no downloadable driver available for this model and Mavericks, however, there is some other scanning options that will probably work for you.
OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac
Click on "How do I scan with the driver from Apple Software Update?" to see the scan options.
I hope this helps!

Does hp support a HP psc 1500 all in one printer

I can not print in black. I've re uninstalled and re installed my printer at least 6 times, can not find my printer which is a HP psc 1500 all in one listed therefore I used software for 1510 all in one. It prints all text in light blue. I've tried changing my printing preferences many different ways. Nothing seems to correct this problem. I've run a test page and it printed two lines in black( black print read HP PSC 1500 series and my serial number on the second line) and 3 color blocks and the rest was small squares and small lines in 3 columns. My frustration level is at an all time high. I've literally spent an entire day trying to fix this problem. Please help before I do something RASH. Thank You, Greta2

Hey @greta2,
Welcome to the HP Support Forum. I understand you're having a print quality issue with your HP PSC 1500 All-in-One Printer. I would like to assist you in resolving this and have some steps that may improve your print quality. You were correct in using the 1510 All-in-One drivers as they are compatible with your printer. Additionally, you were very diligent in approaching the problem from a software perspective - this rules out printer settings as being the most likely cause of the absence of black ink in your printouts.
From what you're describing with the test-page printout, I would recommend that you troubleshoot the issue at the hardware level. For starters, click on the following article heading and work your way through Steps 2 through 6 to better diagnose the issue:
Missing, Faded, or Dull Colors
As I suspect your print diagnostic page (Steps 3-6) will be lacking black ink in some parts as before, proceed with the following steps:
Run the clean print cartridges utility
Open the Printer Toolbox. There are two ways to do this:
Open HP Director (or HP Solution Center), select the Settings menu, then the Print Settings submenu, and finally the Printer Toolbox.
Open Printers and Faxes in the Windows Control Panel, then right-click your printer icon and choose Properties. Click on Printing Preferences. Click the Services tab, then the Service This Device icon.
The Printer Toolbox opens. On the Device Services tab, click Clean the Print Cartridges , then follow the on-screen instructions. Up to three levels of cleaning are available. Discard or recycle the page that prints.
Clean the contacts
Gather the following items to clean the cartridge and carriage:
Clean distilled water. Use bottled or filtered water if distilled water is not available. Tap water can contain contaminants that damage the cartridge.
Clean cotton swabs or any soft, lint-free material that will not stick to the cartridges (coffee filters work well).
Sheets of paper or a paper towel to rest the cartridge on during cleaning.
Open the cartridge access door and wait until the carriage is idle and silent.
Disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer.
Remove the cartridge and place it on a piece of paper with the nozzle plate facing up.
NOTE:Do not leave the cartridges outside of the printer for more than 30 minutes. If the cartridge is outside of the printer for too long, the ink can dry and clog the nozzles.
Dip a clean foam-rubber swab or lint-free cloth into distilled water, and then squeeze any excess water from it.
Clean only the copper-colored contacts
Figure : Clean the contacts
Copper-colored contacts
Ink nozzles (do not clean)
Repeat these steps for the other cartridge.
Lightly moisten another cotton swab with distilled water, and then squeeze any excess water from the swab.
Use the swab to clean the electrical contacts in the carriage, located inside the printer on the carriage slots.
Figure : The electrical contacts in the cartridge slots
Wait 10 minutes to allow the cartridge and carriage electrical contacts to dry.
Reinstall the cartridges.
Close the cartridge access door.
Reconnect the power cord to the back of the printer.
Press the Power button to turn on the printer.
Try to print a page.
If you are still unable to print, repeat these steps to clean and reseat the cartridges. Multiple cleanings might be necessary to restore printing.
Black cartridges only: remove and rest for two hours
NOTE:The procedure below will not fix missing lines or streaked bars printed by the tri-color, photo, or gray photo cartridges, or other color printing problems. Only perform the steps below if the black print cartridge has printed defective patterns, or if you notice non-uniform black text darkness.
In the black print cartridge, this problem may be caused by sediments collecting in the nozzle area. Follow the steps below to solve this problem:
Remove the black print cartridge.
If the carriage has a latch, relatch it and then close the printer - this is important. If the printer is not closed, it cannot adequately protect the remaining tri-color cartridge.
Place the cartridge on a level surface with the nozzles up (label down).
Figure : Cartridge with the nozzles up
Allow the cartridge to sit undisturbed for two hours.
Reinstall the cartridge and print another self test page.
Click the Windows Start button, then click Control Panel.
Double-click the Printer and Faxes folder.
Right-click the icon for your printer and choose Preferences.
Choose the Services tab and click Service this Device. The printer Toolbox opens.
On the Devices Services tab, click Print a Diagnostic Page.
Look for defects on the page.
If the self test page shows no defects for the black cartridge, and if the cartridge was new, align the cartridge. To align the cartridge, follow the steps below:
Load fresh, white paper.
Click the Windows Start button, then click Control Panel.
Double-click the Printer and Faxes folder.
Right-click the icon for your printer and choose Preferences.
Choose the Services tab and click Service this Device. The printer Toolbox opens.
On the Device Services tab, click Align the Printer.
If the cartridge was not new, there is no reason to align the printer.
If the page still shows defects, go to the next step.
Replace the problem cartridge
If a cartridge replacement was not tried previously to solve this problem, replace the problem cartridge now. Click here (c00206040) (in English) to see if the cartridge is covered under warranty.

Paper feed out of sync on HP PSC 1510 All-in-One Printer Scanner

Paper feed out of sync on HP PSC 1510 All-in-One(SN MY59SD224W0498). Goes to flashing orange light. With Vista Home Premium 32-bit, 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2 Build 6002. USB connection to HP Pavilion GU658AA-ABU a6250.uk .
After cleaning ink drip tray including removing & refitting the small panel in the base towards the rear RHS of the printer and also Super Glueing a small wedge of timber to close split shaft bearing for rear print feed rollers - looking from rear with clean out door removed this is at the LHS where the cogs are - paper feed is out of sync. When turned on with paper in feed tray printer draws in paper until about 2" (5cm) of paper protrudes from delivery slot & then stops. Paper jam is indicated by flashing orange light. On pressing Cancel/Resume, paper is expelled & another sheet taken in with the same results. Have turned off & restarted. Have moved cartridge cleaner tray right from front to rear & tested & then brought it right forward again & tested. Have turned off & unplugged power & USB & restarted after more than 30 minutes. Have uninstalled driver & downloaded & installed anew. Downloaded & ran the HP Print Diagnostic Utility. All to no avail. Any suggestions anyone?

Hi there nobster,
This article should cover the blinking light. However, I suspect the printer requires servicing.
Best of Luck!

Psc 1210xi all-in-one not responding

My psc 1210xi all-in-one is not responding. I was able to use the stand alone copy feature and also print a document from my hp laptop (Windows 7) successfully last night. (After plugging it into this laptop for the first time by the way.) Now I am trying to print a document and it will queue up, but not ever print. I tried to copy something to see if it would work and it copied just fine. So it's a problem between my computer and the printer I guess.
Tried unplugging it and waiting, then plugging it back in. Didn't get things running.
I read a post where it was suggested to delete items from spool file and I tried it. Tried printing again afterwards and it still won't print.
This printer is set as the default printer. I no longer have anything (cds, instructions, etc.) that came with it. The ink is brand new and printer is not paper jammed or showing any signs of Error.
It just never prints what's in the queue. Thank you for your help.
This question was solved.

OK got it working by trying the print spool cancel and restart method ONE MORE TIME. Not sure if I just didn't do it correctly the first time, or if printer goblin left to go bother someone else. Thanks though.
