HP PSC 2175 All-in-one prints blank pages from word, chrome and notes

My HP all-in-one printer PSC 2175 all-in-one has suddenly decided to print blank pages.
So far I've tried printing from Word, Notes and Photoshop but come up with nothing.
It prints test pages and diagnostic pages without any problems and it makes direct copies without problems.
The diagnostic tool can't find anything wrong.
I've run all the software I could find on Swedish HP.
I've reinstalled the printer, reinstalled Word, repaired Windows, nothing helps.
I have Windows XP, fully updated.
Any suggestions?
HP PSC 2175

I am having this problem too - just prints blank pages. Ran the tests checked cartridges settings sanity nothing.Scans fine.I currently have three duff printers in my office which is more than frustrating...

I have a psc 2175 all-in-one. "Automatic Two Sided Printing Module Is Missing."

Whenever I try to print on both sides of the paper, I get this message:
Automatic Two Sided Printing Module is Missing."
There doesn't seem to be anywhere that a module would be inserted into this printer. Am I missing something here? Very confusing! Please help!

Via the control panel, find your printer and right-click it and choose "Printing Defaults..." From there click the Services tab and open the HP Toolbox. In there click the Configuration tab and un-check "Automatic Two-Sided Printing Module" and click "Apply". This will get back the dialog that tells you when it's time to turn your pages around.

"Stuttered" printing in middle of page on psc 2175 all in one

I have been very happy with my 2175 for several years.
Then today I have experienced all kinds of problems.
A lot of noises, best described as Grinding. Also, the msg "Open door, clear carriage jam then press enter, -- following which I would get a msg to the effect of "Close cartridge Door, etc."
I have went through the procedures (several times) found on the website for trouble shooting the problems including doing the "cleaning procedures", (including cartridges and paper rollers/wheels doing a through search for any paper jams etc . (none found),doing all the power off- power on -- cycling suggestions.
Right now, I have been able to print without strange noises, But I have "stuttered" printing in the middle of page of any printed document -- a MS Word Letter, or a printed webpage for example . By "Stuttered" I mean a slight shift and reprint of characters.
The shift is much less than a standard character width on some documents consisting of only 2 or 3 characters. By middle of page, I mean the stuttering is confined to about 10 per cent of the page width - and right in the middle. The Left and right sides of the printed document appear fine.
Is it time for a new printer? I hope not.
Thanks,
This question was solved.

Gently clean the encoder strip as described here. Heed the warnings, the strip is fragile and can be damaged by rough handling.

HP psc 2175 all in one not responding to paper size selected

Im trying to print out wedding invitations using the downloaded template from the invitation company, through microsoft word 2003, windows xp, sp3. And my printer wont respond to any aper size selections other than 8.5x11. It won't even let me change to one of the other options in the paper size drop down box. I can put in the paper sizes, but when I print, it's not changed. And in print preview, it won't let me change the document at all. I've made sure everything is up to date.

A complete re-install worked. I completely formatted and the reinstalled Snow Leopard and life is good.

OLD PSC 2175 all in one PAPER JAM

I have tried every suggestion I could find on this forum and went so far as to take it apart and clean up the ink dribbles and reset all cable connects. then I did the uninstall/reinstall.
When I try to print, The paper comes too far forward by about an 1.5 or 2 inches and then I get the pop up "JAMMED". I pull the paper thru, reinsert it in tray, press enter and it prints. Is it time for the trash heap? It's seven years old but has only done about 2 500 packs of paper. Thanks for any help.

HP PSC 1410 All In One, have driver problems...............................

I have an HP PSC 1410 All in one printer that I cannot print items from my computer on. When I try to print something from my computer my computer tells me that no driver for the printer is detcted but when I open "MY COMPUTER" and click Devices, it shows the printer listed as operational and that it is functioning properly.

I tried installing the driver and couldn't so I called HP and found out the printer is obsolete and no drivers are available........ they don't support that model anymore , So I'm screwed................

Does the hp psc 1210v all-in-one have the ability to print back to front?

My hp psc 1210v all-in-one is still working and it is driving me crazy that this printer doesn't have the ability to print back to front. I am also upset that there is no software to print double sided like with the newer hp printers.
Is it just me or would this printer be perfect if it had these features?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Printing back to front is actually a feature of the software you are using. You can do this in Word on your printer now. This link will go into more detail: "Printing Back to Front."
Lastly, two-sided printing is an accessory part that you put on the back of the printer to make it turn (called a duplexer). Once again, not a feature that can be added to a driver, or this printer for that matter. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but on the plus side, at the HP Parts Store, there are enough parts for this printer, you could keep it running for decades.
I am glad you like it.

Can I share HP PSC 1610 All-In-One series printer through Bonjour?

I have an iBook G4, and a Mac Mini (10.4.11- Tiger) with a HP PSC 1610 All In One series printer connected to it by USB. On my iBook G4, the printer comes up under Shared Printers in the Printer Setup Utility but when I click on it, and press Show Info it freezes.. so I was wondering, is there a way to connect to the printer wirelessly with the correct driver (because the driver doesn't show up in the driver list... and the driver is installed.)

HP PSC 2410 All-In-One - use in Windows 7 64-bit environment

Hi,
I have had this HP PSC 2410 All-In-One printer for some years now and it has worked pretty flawlessly in a Windows XP Pro SP3 environment for that time.
Some months ago, I purchased a new computer system and went to the Windows 7 64-bit OS (not interersted in Windows 8 at all) and whilst I have installed the printer successfully and it works, the software suite that came with the printer on the CD will not install for this environment and therefore I no longer have access to the various Maintenance Options that were available under the Windows XP Pro OS, such as the cleaning and Fax options.
Searching for something for the Windows 7 64-bit OS threw up two options - the driver update and the utilities tool wizard. After going down the driver update route, no software suite was available and in fact the update stated that the driver was installed by Windows 7 automatically. That seems to be the case as the printer works fine in print mode, scan mode (from the desktop menu) and it detects SD cards through the slots.
However, there is no software to allow me to fax or clean or do any of the other options available under the HP Suite that came on the CD.
Going down the Utility route got me downloading a file - HPPIW.EXE - that would look at my current printer installation and check with HP for any updates. After many attempts, the utility simply CANNOT find my printer even though it is installed, works properly and even windows sees it! No amount of recycling the ON/OFF button or rebooting the computer allows this utility to detect the printer at all. It is installed via USB on the Windows 7 64-bit Family PC and windows updates are always fully updated.
I am currently considering the purchase of a new HP OfficeJet 8600 Pro Plus to use as the family printer with the Windows 7 system - and move this HP PSC 2410 upstairs to connect it directly to my Windows XP Pro SP3 personal desktop and use the original CD to install it. My Canon IP4200 Pixma has just died on my personal PC upstairs.
However, until I do that, is there any of the Software Suite available that would work in the Windows 7 environment that would allow me to use the various functions such as Fax and cleaning that were available under the old XP environment and obtained via the CD? Was the Suite of software ever updated for Windows 7?
Thank you,

Hi BAW9DV,
I hate to hear you are having issues. While there will not is not a specific software utility that will complete the tasks desired, maintenance can be completed from the front panel of the unit. Windows also has an application for faxing from the computer as well that may work with this device. Please see the information below that may enable the functions desired.
Faxing:
1. Use Windows Fax and Scan
   A. Type Windows Fax and Scan into search box
   B. Configure fax machine for use. Click Here to view Microsoft documentation for use. Note: This is a 3rd party website. HP and I are not responsible for content of this site.
   C. Select New Fax
Maintenance tasks from front panel:
Running the Clean Print Cartridges Utility Click Here
Printing setf-test page Click Here
Evaluate test page Click Here
Align the Cartridges: Press setup-Press 5, then press 2
If you the work around options are not acceptable the 8600 model would most certainly meet your needs when compared with this unit. However I encourage you to contact HP to see what upgrade options are available for this unit. It will most likely be another Photosmart model/type unit, but in many cases upgrades are offered at a discounted rate to our valued out of warranty customers. Global contact information can be accessed Here.
P.S. If you upgrade through technical support, be sure to ask about carepacks. Extended warranties may also be available at a discounted rate for upgrading.
Hope this helps!
