HP5510 prints less than 1/2 page in black

About 1/2 way down the page, the black ink seems to runout. It continues in blue or red, but then runs out
entirely. It is acting the way I would expect it to act if the cartridge vent was clogged, but they look clean.
I have tried the "Clean Printhead" option from the panel, and it usually prints the test page OK. But then when I try to print a page of text I get the bad results.
The cartridges were bought from HP online Sept 29, 2014. They were just opened a couple of days ago
I also tried a 30 seconf hard reset.
For what it is worth, I also bought the 3 color cartridges at the same time, but have not yet installed them.
This question was solved.

OK, I THINK I have fixed the problem. I cut away 1/2 of the label covering the vent squiggles, and noticed there was a blockage from the adhesive used to hold the label. You can see it on the top of the second wiggle from the left.
After removing the part of the label as shown above, I was able to print an entire page of text which previously I was unable to. I hope this helps some other user with this problem.

How do I set or get firefox to print more than one all pages the print using verizon emails is there a setting to change I have been told by verizon techs it is not my printer

when opening an email using verizon emails I can only print one page. I have checked an I do not have a printer or computer problem because the printer prints more than one page with others such as gmail. We feel there is a print setting in firefox that needs to be changed. How do I change this??

That is usually caused by a few different Bugs in Firefox, which seem to be fixed in the Firefox 4.0 betas.

I have an iPad 2 for less than a month, I updated the IOS to 6 about two weeks ago... It was great, up until tonight. My WiFi flat out won't work... and all the other laptops, iphones in the house are working fine.
Would LOVE to have it fixed.
Not very happy with Apple and this 'mishap'...
it does NOT have the cellular wifi, or whatever it's called. it's not capable of connecting to a carrier... just through regular wifi.

My HP ENVY 4502 won't print more than a few pages at a time

I'm having real trouble printing from my HP ENVY 4502. Over the last couple of months whenever I have tried to use double sided printing, when the printer comes to printing on the reverse side of the page an on screen message appears saying "Error printing on HP ENVY 4502" and the printer cancels the document half way through the page. More recently when I have tried to print multiple copies of a document on a single side the same message appears after 2-3 pages and the printer cancels the document.
I'm not sure what to do about this - I have tried various different settings on the printer but none seem to make a difference. Printing is now becoming very time consuming and I'm also wasting a lot of paper as a result.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Jamille,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I have a couple of questions for you for starters:
What Operating System are you using Windows or Mac? What version? If you do not know the Operating System you are using, please visit this website. Whatsmyos.
What happens if you plug in a USB 2.0 printer cable and print instead of wireless? Does the same thing happen?
I would suggest to go through one of these guides: (depending on the Operating System you are using.)
Print Jobs Stuck in Print Queue (Windows).
Print Jobs Stuck in Print Queue (Mac OS X).
Hope this helps!

Firefox 9.0.1 started printing oversize print, rather than the gicen page-how to correct this?

Suddenly one page of email could not be printed on one page- I works fine on my MacPowerbook G4 with OS10.4, but it will not do it correct on my MacBook Pro running OS10.6. The Powerbook G4 has Firefox 3.6.22.
This happened in the past couple of days.* Bulleted list item

Hi chucklasvegas,
Have you looked at the KB article [[Firefox prints incorrectly]]? There is a lot of good troubleshooting information in there. I would suggest just resetting all your print preferences.
Hopefully this helps!

HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g new ink levels drop to less than half after few pages.

Installed all new HP940 ink cartridges and the levels dropped to half after only printing less 12 ink defective pages. Quality Diagnostics Page shows colors but black ink does not show up at all. Self Test Diagnostic page shows printhead status is good. Checked the ink tubes and they are still neatly bundled and no signs of leakage.

Hello TV60,
I see that the Officjet 8500 a909g is not displaying the correct ink levels and will not print black. You have done a great job trying to resolve the issue already, some steps I will suggest you have already done but it wont hurt to go over them again.
This HP link: Ink Usage in Inkjet Printers may help explain why the inks are not showing as full as you think they should be after just installing them.
These HP documents: Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages & Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues are going to help you figure out if the print heads need to be replaced even though your Printer Status Report shows the health as "Good".
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Printing JPanel to fit one page, Urgent (thanks for help)..........

hi all,
I am trying to print and can't get the right scaling. My problem is if the JPanel that has lot of images inside it is too big to come on one page width and height then I want the print out to be on one page. If my panel's height is too large to fit on one page and the width is only half of the page or less than page half of the width. Then I want to scale it's height only to fit on one page while keeping the width the same during printing and the images also to be scaled accordingly. And if my height is too small lets say less than half the page and the width is too large too fit on one page then in this case I want to print the original height or keep the height to be shown on the printout as it looks on the screen but scale the width to fit on to one page and the images also to be scaled accordingly. But my following piece of code doesn't honor this though it fits on one page. It keeps on increasing the width or height to fit the whole page thought the width or height is less than that and the images are also expaned accordingly. I want to scale the images too and only fit the width or height if any is greater than one page. Any help is really appreciated. Thanks in advance

Dear Nadia,
Thanks for the info.
If I understand it correct I can make a copy of my actual css file.
Rename it this copy to e.g. print.css
And then make some changes such a letter fonts and colour
Linking this css file to my pages and specify it is only for `print1`
Right?
I`m using a template so if I amend the template like this and have all pages updated automatically that should do the trick?
Right?
Is there somewhere where I need to mention that e.g. the page needs to be reduced onto 95% by printing?
Or will the print.css do the trick?
Sometimes I get confused on what css can do and it can do a lot.
Many thanks for helping me out here.
Kind regards
martine

Printing through Airport Extreme limited to less than one page.

I have my MacBook Pro, and my wife's MacBook (dual-core), connected wirelessly to my Airport Extreme (802.11n). I have my printer (Canon MP-800 Multifunction) connected to my Airport. When I try to print I can only get about 3/4 of one page to print, no matter how many pages the file really is. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

Try the following on your Mac.....
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup

Creating Custom Page Size less than one inch

I currently have Acrobat 6 on Windows XP, and it appears that I cannot set a custom page size less than one inch (Using Printer Preferences). Is there another method I can use to create a PDF from Publisher that has a page size less than one inch? If not, would updating to Acrobat 9 allow me to print to a custom page size of less than one inch?

Thanks Peggy,
I tried deleting the preference file and restarting Pages but I still have the same problem with the custom page size. When I start Pages I am presented with a bunch of templates so I choose Blank then I go through my procedure to select the custom page size that I created and always end up back at an A4 document.
I have used the demo version of Stone Create to do what I needed to do with the small page size (ie. create a small ad) but it is a pain that I paid for Pages and now will need to buy something like Stone Create to do what I need. Although, that said, having used Stone Create for this little ad I must say that for the price it seems like a pretty decent program that will do a whole lot of the desktop publishing type of functions without the rather steep prices of the Adobe products. I kind of wish I had bought this program instead of Pages now.
Cheers,
Graham

Large pdf(40MB) with 600 pages color quality is poor if i print more than 1 or 2 pages at a time.

I have a 40MB PDF file with over 600 pages of color images. If i print each page one at a time, there is no issue whatsoever with the quality, but if i print say 5 pages, the 4th and 5th page and any subsequent page will look like rubbish. In general, just not the same color quality as before. The Konica Minolta printer doesn't seem to be at fault here because like i mentioned, this problem does not occur if i print individual sheets, just if i print more than 5 or so.
Printing individual sheets in this instance, however, is not a real solution because in all the job will have many thousand pages. What do i do? Any one here experience a similar problem?

You were able to catch me whilst my Konica Minolta tech was here.
This is my take on his diagnosis,
The c353 while capable of quality output is not exactly a robust production level machine.
Without the aid of a RIP, all the processing needs to happen either in memory or it may have a hdd. Does the machine have a hard drive?
In either case, you are running out of memory.
Changing the printers properties on spooling may aid in completing the job.
He mentioned sending the job as raster. Print as Image from Acrobat's Advanced tab would do that, but I think you would cripple your computer doing such. Try it; be prepared to go out to lunch or something while it churns away.

How do I print more than one custom-size photo on a page in PSE 10?

I recently upgraded from Photoshop Elements 6 to Photoshop Elements 10. I make greeting cards, and on PSE 6 I was able to print two custom-size (6-1/2” x 5”) cards on each 8-1/2” x 11” sheet of photo paper. The option to print more than one custom-size card on a single sheet of paper is not available in PSE 10. I want to know how I can print more than one custom-size card (or photo) on a page in PSE 10?

Can you print more than one photo on a sngle page in iPhoto, as you can in Picasa?

iPhoto printing--
Can you print more than one photo on a single page in iPhoto, as you can in Picasa? Terrible waste of paper and time to do it one at a time! I 've been away from Macs for several years ( I know, shame on me) but I thought I remembered more printing flexibility. Help, anyone?

Yes - select the photos and print - select the print size and paper size (be sure they will fit with some small borders) and click customize - in settings select multiple photos per page (the preview will reflect this selection) and print
