Ink low lights on the Officejet Pro K550

I have this officejet pro k550 in which some lights went on indicating I'm running low on ink in some of the color cartridges.  I replaced all the cartridges and the lights didn't go out.  Now I look at "utilites" (on my Mac computer) and it says that I'm running low of ink.  Do the lights automatically go out when you replace the ink cartridges or do I have to reset something?  How can I be out of ink when I'm using new HP cartridges?
HELP PLEASE.

Did you find a solution? I have done the exact same thing and spent many hours trying to resolve this to no avail! Now I have 2 printers that won't work!!!

  • Officejet Pro K550 in Windows Technical Preview

    The most recent update to Windows Technical Preview Build 9879 keeps stopping the print spooler when the Officejet Pro K550 is attached. It worked fine in the previous builds. Any ideas? I need to keep the USB cable disconnected until I want to print and then uninstall the printer each time or keep restarting the print spooler each time I want to print anything.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Try running Windows Update and check if any driver update is available, any drivers for the Technical Preview are only available from Microsoft Update servers.
    If the issue persists, you will need to wait till an update will become available by microsoft, as a beta OS you are likley to experience this kind of issues, devices hasn't have been tested much, as well as the entire operating system.

  • Unable to install officejet pro k550 in windows 7

    Driver failed to install. Have also tried info from this page http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02663702&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us and still cannot get printer to install. Either as a network or when connecting via USB. USB printing gets installed and is ready and working but not the printer driver. I am doing everything on the Win 7 laptop as an administrator. I've installed Dell, Lexmark and an HP Color LJ CP1215 with out any problem but not this officejet pro k550.

  • Margins ignored on OfficeJet Pro K550

    I have a VB 2008 .NET program that I wrote.  It prints labels.  It works perfectly on my HP LaserJet 1018.  I set the margins depending on which label on the sheet I want to print and it prints on that label.  But on an HP OfficeJet Pro K550, it shifts the print down and to the right.  I tell it to have a 0.5" left margin and 0.6 top margin and I get 1" at the left and .75 " at the top.  The other two margins are correct and the resultant labelis the correct size, just shifted down and right.
    Obviously this won't work because it doesn't print on the label! 
    I tried MS word 2003 and told it to print with 1/2" top and left margins and it worked.
    So why does it work on the LaserJet and not the InkJet with the same margin settings?
    Thanks.........  Carl

  • Officejet Pro K550 Driver Failure in 10.6.8 & 10.7.4

    A coworker's HP Officejet Pro K550 has stopped printing.  Initially the error codes from the front panel indicated a paper jam.  After disassembly (which is NOT easy btw) and a complete cleaning, the printer still refuses to function.  I can print test pages all day long by holding the Resume button on the front panel of the printer.  However, once I send a page to the printer from Microsoft Word, Preview, or any other program, the printer seizes and both the Power and Resume button flash as if there is a  paper jam.  There is none as no paper comes out.  Curiously, if I use a Generic PCL Printer driver instead of the HP Officejet Pro K550 driver, I can print in black and white just fine.  I've tested this on laptops running 10.6.8 and 10.7.4 with the same results.  I've reset the printing system on both machines with the same results.  I'm officially out of ideas.  Can anyone think of what's going on?

    hi there,
    i get the exactly same error,
    i can also print by Generic PLC driver,
    or output a config test page by holding power and pressing red X once on the printer.
    but i always get "drucker ist belegt" which means "printer is in use" error when i try hps mac osx K550 10.7 driver !
    everything works (hp utility tools to calibrate etc. stuff) except for printing from whatever application i use
    what the hell is happening here? and how can i get full funtionality back?
    i already have Firmware version 20061019 SPP0013H which seems like the only one i could download-
    but, although i would possibly need this firmware update-
    there is no way to install the firmware update,
    since clever people of HP decided not to leave a tool for osx lion users,
    the manual for doing firmware updates is only written for 10.4.8 users (maybe half a dozen years ago?!)
    i cant find a update firmware option anywhere although i see a firmwareupdate.task plugin which seems to be for hp printer utility.... but i cant use it sensefully ....
    what are you up to? making me crazy? making people buy new stuff?
    is there any solution in sight?

  • Ink/Cartridge issue with my OfficeJet Pro 8500A Plus

    My OfficeJet Pro 8500A Plus has been drinking color ink.  We rarely print color, as we purchased this unit for its fax/copy capabilities (almost all B&W).   Upon recent replacement of the Cyan and Yellow cartridges, the system refuses to operate.  The status on the Cyan cartridge has a question mark "?" and reads empty.  This is a brand new cartridge.  Upon pulling the cartridge, it clearly has ink in it.  There seems to be a lot of ink build up in the port where the cartridge connects to the printer.
    The Yellow cartridge status reads empty with an exclamation point "!".  This is also a new cartridge.  No sign of leakage, when I pulled the cartridge to examine.
    What do I need to do to "fix" this situation, as I need the unit to be operational to receive faxes.  If the unit is beyond (my) repair, can you suggest a replacement printer that uses the 940 series of ink cartridges, as I have a small stockpile of them.
    Thanks and Kind Regards,
    Steve

    I have the same problem! The 8500A Plus (A910g) won't print after I replaced with a new magenta cartridge.  I get the following message "replace the following depleted ink cartridge to resume printing."  I bought another HP cartridge from best buy and got the same message.  I then took all the cartridges out and noticed at the base of the cartridges slots that it was a pool of redish pinkage ink in all cartridge slots.  It is like the magenta ink port is wide open and depleting the ink within seconds.  What is going on here, a defect in the printer?

  • What other hp print drivers will work with the officejet pro 8600

    I have an Officejet Pro 8600 and like many others here, I am having a problem printing a custom size envelope (6x9). I did find that I can use the drivers for a deskjet 450 and setup  my 8600 using those drivers. However, the 450 6x9 does not have a portait option in the layout.
    My question is, what other hp print drivers will work in the 8600? I'm hoping one will have a 6x9 portrait layout?

    Hello wingcheck,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're receiving a problem printing a custom envelope size (6x9). You did state that you installed a Deskjet 450, but it doesn't come with a portrait option. I will do my best to assist you!
    First,  I need to find out your operating system on your computer? Windows or Mac?
    If you have a Windows computer and using this Deskjet 450 driver, have you checked Devices and Printers on your computer to see if you have this portrait option:
    1) Right click on the Deskjet 450, then click on Printer Preferences
    2) Very top you should see a tab called "Finishing" and look for Orientation
    3) You should see portrait, landscape, rotate by 180 degrees or mirror image.
    4) Let me know if you don't have this option on this post
    If not, then I would recommend installing a Deskjet 9800 to see if you have this option. Please follow this HP document on Installing an Alternate Print Driver in Windows 7 for a USB Cable Connection. When setting up this custom size, change the paper type to "Other Specialty Media". Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!
    Hi Cheetah .... I don't have access to my printer at the moment due to travel, but here's what I have right now. My operating system is Windows 7 64. That's not much, but it is a start. I will have the additional information for you in a day or so. Something else I discovered in the user guide, which I didn't know, is that each tray will only handle specific media. So, when I print envelopes, I will have to use Tray 1 in order to do so. 
    Now I do have another question for you. Can I have installed, 2 different sets of print drivers at the same time without it causing a conflict? I'm assuming the diffenent driver will simply show up as a different printer in the listed printers, right?? Any way, thanks for your quick response, and upon arriving home, I will follow your previous suggestions. I will also keep you posted as to my success or failure.
    Thanks

  • Getting low voltage from the Macbook Pro Case

    I'm getting low voltage throughout the casing whenever the brick is plugged in my 2011 macbook pro 13".  I can run my fingers across the case and get the 60hz hum from the ac current.  Pretty neat effect, not sure if it's totally safe or not.  I tried plugging it into several outlets and changed the surge protector, with no changes happening.  Anyone else getting this issue?  Thank you for listening!!!

    I have exactly the same problem. How did you fix it?
    Is it magsafe adapter issue?

    Email prints in color on separate pages, want black & white with two-sided.

    Hi @George1978,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I gather that you would like to learn how to change the print settings when sending an email to print on your Officejet Pro 8630 printer.
    To better assist you, would you please supply some additional information:
    How are you sending the print job to the printer? Are you sending it from your computer and choosing Print, from one of HP’s mobile apps, are you forwarding the email to the printer’s ePrint email address, or another method?
    What operating system are you using on the device you are using to send the print job? I have included wikiHow’s guide titled How to Figure out Your Mobile Operating System if you are using a mobile device. If you are using a computer, please click on http://whatsmyos.com/ as it will tell you what your operating system is.
    How is the printer connected (USB cable, ethernet, or wireless)?
    Thank you.

  • Windows 10 and the OfficeJet Pro 8625

    I updated from Windows 8.1 and now when i try to scan and send the results directly to the computer on a wired network connection, i get an error message that states "The HP Officejet Pro 8620 was not found".The printer works fine.I've reinstalled the drivers (which ominously don't mention Windows 10) and still the problem exists.Can anyone help?

     That is ominous, particularly because this is in direct conflict with the documentation that states that you should be OK. You might try a couple of things, just because the reinstallation of the drivers may not have "taken" properly. If you have not already done so, Download a copy of the Full Feature Software from the printer's Website Support page:HP Officejet Pro 8625 e-All-in-One Printer You might try removing the printer software from Programs and Features,Shut down the computer.. Restart everything, including the router. Install a fresh copy of the Full Feature Software. Help, Instructions, Tips:Install Full Feature Software – Printer   If it remains a steaming Pile of Rubble, you might contact HP Technical Support: If you are in the USA / Canada, fill in the Web form and leave contact information:Contact HP – USA - Assistance HP Tech support/ Customer Service – Some English Speaking CountriesIncluding UK and Europe  When you see a Post that helps you,Inspires you, provides fresh insight,Or teaches you something new,Click the "Thumbs Up" on that Post. Click my Answer Accept as Solution to help others find Answers.
