I have a canon mg2100 series printer. I print shipping labels and use black ink. I ran out and changed the cartridge, now the text is faded looking and I can't read major parts of the label. I did the cleaning print head under control panel and it did fine, but when I try to print again it's still faded. Help!

Hi @jennirvinpest,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that you are getting the error message that says your USB is not connected with your HP Photosmart c4200 series.
For further assistance, I will need some more information:
The Product/Model Number of your printer. Follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number.
If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the printer is able to make copies.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.

I have downloaded the latest UFR II driver. (UK Version)
I am trying to connect to the printer but the printer is not appearing in my Print/Fax Preferences.
When I click the box "More Printers" under the Default printer the drop down box gives me a heading "Canon IPv6 (UFRII) with the option to add or cancel. (The add is highlighted). But there are no printers showing in the box. Nothing. Can anyone help?
Is there a problem with my Mac setup or maybe a setting in my printer?

Canon 2100 Series printing in reverse order

I have a Canon 2100 series -- an MG 2120. When I print things out, they come out in the tray in reverse order -- a six page document will thus have p. 6 on top when I take the stack out. I cannot find a setting on my computer to make things print out in reverse order, so that page one will be on top and I won't have to manually put multipage documents in order. Help?

Hi oldwest,
To change the order in which pages are printed, please follow the steps located at the link below:

MacBook Air can not find canon f8500 series printer on network.

MacBook Air running OS X Yosemite can not find Canon MF8500 series printer on wireless network. AirPrint is turned on at printer. iPhone iOS 8.2 can not AirPrint to printer as well. Recently switched from Verizon to Comcast for internet service, no issues before switch. Tried to add printer via IP address, it was located but could not print to printer.

If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system also Yosemite
Try setting it up as something other than AirPrint. I have seen several posts where that was the problem.

What is "Printer WS" for my Canon MX710 series printer?

In addition to "Canon MX710 series Printer," there is a "Canon MX710 series Printer WS" listed. I never print to the WS one, and would like to remove it from my printer list to reduce the icon options. What is it and why would I want to print to it? Couldn't find a clear answer to this on the net or in this forum. Thanks.

Web Services, and it makes a difference when you try to connect wirelessly to your pc if you have printer WS selected or not.

Printopia is another option but be aware that since these solutions effectively act as a print server and AirPrint receiver, they require a computer to be running on the same WiFi network.
Canon also has a couple of apps in the App Store that might facilitate this on non-AirPrint printers. Check out...

Hi
I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

Do the following:
Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
Calibrate the monitor

I have a Canon Pixma i4700 printer and since buying my iMac I'm finding it difficult to print photographs without a severe warm (red) tone.

What am I doing wrong?

I can't give you detailed instructions, but there should be a way to print a built-in test page. If the color is off on that, the printer has an internal problem such as a clogged head.

Text not printing with Black Ink on Canon i560

I've been having a pretty annoying problem with my Canon i560: When printing black text, instead of using the black ink, the printer mixes black from the color inks. This has been a problem for a little while but recently, the colors got a little offset so it became really obvious.
Also, I just received an update for the Canon printer drivers and according to the Apple page, the Canon i560 is supported and the drivers are actually updated.
I'm pretty sure that it's a driver problem because I can print from a Windows virtual machine to the exactly same printer all other variables remaining the same - and guess what: When printing from Windows, black is black, colors are colors, as one would expect with this kind of printer.
So, does anyone have an idea how I can make my make send the right signals to my Canon i560?

Ah, sorry, I missed that when reading your reply. Probably should have re-read it. However, I have just made a test-print from TextEdit with the "Grayscale Printing" checkbox enabled - and I'm still getting precisely the same ugly, greenish result.
Then it is not working as it should be and it is either the driver or the core printing system. To check both there is alternate driver available called Gutenprint. With this driver suite installed you can create another printer queue on the Mac, this time selecting the Gutenprint i560 driver. When you then print and have the i560 Gutenprint driver selected, change to the Printer Features menu and then select the General tab in Feature Sets submenu and then set the Color Model to Grayscale. Does this work correctly?
And with the Canon driver, if you want to repair the colour offset, you can go to Print & Scan, select the i560 using the Canon driver and then open Options & Supplies. Then select the Utilities tab and click on Open Printer Utility. This will open the Canon IJ Printer Utility. From here you can select the Test Print menu and then Print Head alignment.

How to get my C309a printer to only use black ink cartridge?.

I have changed my ink cartridges 3 times. ALL of them. I haven't had the printer for that long. I only print TEXT so only BLACK INK. And not that much of it either. SO why does all of the cartridges get used up? I cannot find anything where you can adjust or fix this problem. HELP as I don't have the money to keep buying all this ink.

PTGillan wrote:
[snip] Decent thing to do would be to allow printer to do what they have done from time immemorial - print faded docs to give us time to get cartridges and avoid total failure. Not a good or decent system. Not a good way to treat customers.
The Photosmart c309a does allow printing in black if a color ink is depleted - I have one here. What is your printer model?
HP and other printer manufacturers have different printer technologies for different needs.
Some have printheads built into the ink cartridges. These printers can typically print with one or more of the colors completely empty, or even with color or black (but not both) cartridges removed. The Deskjet 6980 series is an example.
Other printers have separate ink supplies and replaceable printheads. An example would be the Officejet 6500 printers. The printhead in these printers can be replaced if they are damaged by running the printhead with colors out. Some of these printers will allow printing with a color out, other will not. If the printer is run without ink in one or more colors the printer may be damaged, but the user may be able to recover without having to send the printer for service.
Other printers have permanent printheads. To run these without some ink in all the colors would risk causing damage to the printhead due to clogs, air ingested in the printheadvor burned out printhead firing resistors. The Photosmart 3310 series is an example of this type of printer. For printers with fixed printheads this could require service to get the printer to print properly again when the ink is finally replaced.
The document here has information on how ink is used.

Cannot open, save, or print ship label on USPS website using Acrobat 11; Win 7; Internet Explorer 9.

USPS tech and supervisor spent 1 hour walking me through fixes of uninstalling, installing and changing options to no avail. The provider software (USPS, Adobe & Microsoft) works using other browsers (Google Chrome and Firefox) but not with Internet Explorer (any version as I've tried it with 8 and 9). No virus, malware or defects in any of the software. This problem seems to reoccur every time there is a new release from Adobe, Windows Explorer or the USPS. Has anyone found a solution?
Specifically, either of the "print or save label" prompts in the online postage software opens a dialogue bar that give 2 choices: save or cancel. The cancel option doesn't work at all; the bar stays open. The save option opens the operating system software to "desktop" but when the "save" option is selected there is no response. No way to get out of the dialogue bar without closing the usps web site. Each time I've had to go into the account history file and claim a refund for the unprintable label. Options I've tried to solve issue:
>added usps.com to trusted sites in IE under tools
>enabled manage add-on for Acrobat Reader
>disabled protected mode in IE options
>unchecked "require server verification"
>uninstalled and reinstalled latest versions of Acrobat 11; tried Acrobat 9 and 10 installs
>did "repair" of Acrobat 11
>reduced security levels for IE and USPS web site
>uninstalled/reinstalled IE 9 and IE 8.
Each software provider claims the other's products are at fault, not theirs.

Thank you for your interest in my problem. USPS is the US Post Office. Mailing labels can be created, paid for and printed on their website, usps.com. The labels are in pdf format and their application uses Adobe Acrobat Reader to open the file where the label resides and then print it. Normally, you can select either "print" or "save" to open the file where the label resides and then you again have the option to immediately print the label or save it to your "desktop." I have printed or succcessfully saved hundreds of these labels, despite changes in the various versions of Acrobat Reader, Internet Explorer (IE) and the USPS software. After returning from a 2 week vacation on Oct 1, I rebooted my PC to create and print some labels and the fun began.
The USPS software works perfectly until the print or save stage. Using either prompt opens a bar in the lower part of the screen which then only offers the options of "save" or "cancel." ( So no way to print directly.) If you attempt to "cancel" it does not respond - just starts the bar blinking a golden color. If you attempt to "save," it opens to a screen to save to your desktop. When attempting to save at that point, the file will not save, there is no response. The bar can not be closed, the save to desktop doesn't work, and there is no way out of the loop. Even when closing or signing out of the website, the bar remains on the screen. Only by closing and reopening Internet Explorer will the bar disappear.
USPS supervisor and tech persons claim the problem is with IE since their software works with other browsers, e.g. Google Chrome and Foxfire - which I have confirmed. It's just annoying and time consuming to have to exit IE everytime I want to create and print a label. All other pdf files (whether downloaded from IE or created by myself) will print from IE using Adobe Acrobat Reader, just not the one associated with the USPS. What's astonishing is that the US Post Office doesn't mind that their program doesn't work with the world's most used web browser and they haven't been able to figure out why. You would think either Microsoft (IE's publisher) and the USPS would want to do a fix.
I have scoured and tested all setup and setting options in the Adobe, IE, USPS software, including roll back to earlier versions and haven't been able to solve it on my own.

Hp Officejet Pro 8500 will print but not anything with black ink. It keeps aligning itself.

My Hp Officejet Pro 8500 will print but not anything with black ink - i have checked the black ink cartridge and it is full. Whenever i print anything in colour (only option) the printer goes into an alignment/maintenace loop that lasts for a long time and does not fix the problem. What should I do?

Clean your printerhesd 4-5 times until the black fully restores. I am on my third complete cleaning and have gone from 0% black to approx. 60-70%. So, it works just takes time.
