Low Ink Pop-Ups

Hi,
Running OS X 10.9.4, but this issue has showed up with previous versions as well.  Whenever my 6500A gets low on ink, I get about 5000 "Low Ink" pop-ups on my desktop.  The "Okay" button does not auto highlight, so I have to click through every single one of them to clear them.  I've tried opening HP Utility Message Center, but it either locks up or I can't find anything useful.  Anyone know how to turn off these notifications?  I'm EXTREMELY annoyed by them.  Just in the space of typing this description, I've had about 20 new notifications.
Please Help.
Thanks,
Bryan

Hi Shummer,
Very welcome, glad that it worked for you! I believe that there most likely was a conflict with the software, and by uninstalling and re-installing, it makes sure you have the proper software, which should remove all the pop-ups.
Hope this answers your question, and let me know if you have any more issues!

  • Can I suppress the ^%#@% constant "cartridge low on ink" pop-up?

    It seems my printer starts showing the "cartridge low on ink" pop-up when there is still plenty of ink left.  Not to mention I can tell when it's truly low on ink by looking at the printed pages, duh!!  I spend way too much of my life having to close the pop-up.  There doesn't seem to be anything under the  "for more information on this topic" help link for a "turn off this %^%#% message forever" option.  Can anybody help?

    Ditto. HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m Excessive INK LEVEL LOW Warnings: False PRINTER OFFLINE Warnings
    This is the printer from Hades! 
    I have the .  HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m, Lenovo T43 running XP SP3
    The ink low warning "sometimes" comes on more than once per minute! And then it opens the LARGE dialogue box right in the middle of the screen showing me ink levels (none below 25% by the way), and  * soliciting me to buy ink from them on line or from a dealer or whatever.  I close it and the three warning boxes (Ink level low-two boxes simultaneously and Printer Offline)....Then a couple minutes later all them are back. This makes the computer basically unusable.
    *These frequent (every few minutes)  PRINTER OFFLINE warnings occur even though it is on line. this is a wireless enabled printer. Despite the warning that it is offline, as soon as I issue a print command the printer responds (with the ink level warnings of course, while it's printing).
    How can I disable (forever) the  OFFLINE and INK LEVEL warnings?

  • HOW DO I TURN OFF THE LOW INK WARNING ON MY OFFICEJET 7500A

    Hi everyone
     I have a officejet 7500 all in one printer which is a couple of years old now. I have a ciss system on the printer due to the amount of printing i am now trying to do, however i am now having the really annoying problem of the low ink level pop ups keep on showing. Can any of you wonderful people help me and tell me if these pop ups be turned off. I have Windows 8.1. Please Please help
    Cheers
    Clive

    There should be a option in the printer software to turn off the ink warnings, you can customize the settings yourself in there. I think it's printer maintence.

  • How do I turn off HP Sure supply notification pop-ups?

    Hi,
     How do I turn off HP Sure Supply notification pop-ups? They are constant and annoying. I buy HP inks from a different supplier, please help.
    Liz

    Hi @lh39,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand you would like to turn off the HP Sure Supply notifications, you are using a different brand of cartridges and keep getting the pop up.
    1. Start Menu
    2. Control Panel
    3. Devices and Printers
    4. Highlight your OJ 8600 (Click on it)
    5. You should now notice at the top of the devices and printers box there is a Print server properties tab (see pic below)
    6. Once in the print server properties please click on the Advanced tab
    7. Make sure ALL the boxes are unchecked (see pic below)
    8. Click Apply
    Please keep in mind that this will not turn off essential printer messages, notifying you of problems such as lack of ink or paper jams; it turns off messages notifying you of the completion of a print job or low ink warnings. Essential printer messages are built into the firmware of the printer itself and cannot be disabled.
    I got this helpful information www.ehow.com
    If you are still getting the error message, use genuine HP ink cartridges to avoid the pop up.
    I hope this helps, please let me know if you require more assistance.

  • I want "non HP printer cartridge" pop ups to go away on my Mac Mini computer. Please help

    When my son is streaming Netflix, "non HP Printer cartridge" pop ups cover the screen like a virus has taken over. 
    No matter if I close them out or hit OK, they just sit there and I have to drag them over to the right lower corner and they will not be trashed.  I have an HP  Photosmart 6520 that is connected wirelessly. HP phone tech support told me that because it is a non HP cartridge (refill) , that happens to work better and longer than the original HP cartridges, they cannot help me get the pop ups to go away.  Funny thing is that the printer has always worked well with these cartridges, and these pop ups just started appearing after I upgraded my Mac to the latest update.  HP tech support told me to turn the wireless "Off" on the printer and said maybe that would help.  Solutions???     Joseph

    Hello heyjophi,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with a "non HP Printer cartridge" pop up on the screen.
    This pop up will more than likely keep happening as long as you are using cartridges that are refilled.  The cartridge has a chip that lets the printer know how long it has been in the printer and it causes a popup on the computer screen. The only other way to get rid of this, other than using Genuine HP ink cartridges, is to uninstall the software from the Mac.
    I do apologize for the inconvenience on this matter.
    Thanks for your time.

  • How to avoid IE pop-ups when running BIP reports(w/ SSO) from Oracle Forms?

    Hi all,
    We have an OID/SSO integrated Oracle Forms and BI Publisher environment in place. We/users expect the same behavior when running Oracle Reports or BIP reports from Oracle Forms... which means receiving no intermediate pop-ups and simply getting the report output to appear in the relevant target application(PDF, EXCEL, etc). Currently we get multiple security warnings when running BIP reports from Oracle Forms.
    Here's a list of Pop-ups contents:
    1. "File Download - Security Warning" Do you want to open or save this file? -> OPEN
    2. "File Download" Do you want to save this file? Name = ma01r500.pdf -> YES
    3. "Save AS" -> pick desktop and save.
    4. "Download Complete" -> OPEN
    We have experimented with setting various IE security settings to LOW/enabled and still get these pop-ups.
    Any suggestions is much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Yahya

    FYI... Metalink Note 282996.1 has resolved the bigger issue with the extra pop-ups with SSO enabled environment.
    Cause:
    Internet Explorer (IE) has to cache PDF files in a temporary directory prior to opening the file. Without this IE cannot process PDF files. With SSO protected pages, the header cache settings are set to no-cache which prevents IE from downloading PDF files.
    Solution:
    In mod_osso.conf use the entry "OssoSendCacheHeaders off" which tells mod_osso to turn off all no-cache related headers, which the enables Internet Explorer to be cache the file in a temporary directory.
    Now I am not sure if anybody has any thoughts/suggestions as how we might be able to resolve this issue where Oracle Reports WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT calls have no pop-ups so ideally BIP reports WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT calls should behave the same as both are calls from Oracle Forms.
    But at least now our SSO enabled environment and un-secure DEV/UAT behave the same with a single pop-up. Ideally the users shouldn't have to come across this intermediate pop-up to open(save/cancel being the other options) the document(just like Oracle Reports calls).

  • Turn off low ink warning on F4180

    I would like to turn off the 'low ink' warning pop-up within the HP Solutions center with the Deskjet F4180 without disabling bidirectional communication.  Does anyone know how to do this?

    Really HP? You are going to fill my 24" screen with low ink warnings. 18 warnings? I don't need any warnings. I need to be able to turn them off.
    Anyone else out there want them off too? Please let HP know!
    For Windows systems turning off bidirectional support in the port settings may resolve the issue.  I see in another post that you are running OS X.  For this question you may have better results posting your question in HP's Mac Printing Forum.

  • I'm getting annoying pop-ups on Safari; MacKeeper, Free Cam Secrets, Chrome User Survey.

    I've followed (I believe correctly) the directions in The Safe Mac to check the launch files and it always says nothing is found. I've also checked Safari's Extensions.

    The router has been hacked to direct DNS queries to a malicious server. 
    Follow the manufacturer's instructions to reset it to the default state. Usually that involves inserting the end of a straightened paper clip or a similar tool into a pinhole somewhere in the back of the device, and pressing a switch inside for about 15 seconds. The pinhole may be marked "RESET."
    Repeat the initial setup process. Make sure the router does not allow remote setup from the Internet (WAN port), if it has that feature—most do. The DNS servers should be set automatically by your ISP.
    If you have a wireless network, it must be secured with WPA 2 encryption. The passwords for the network and the router must each be a string of at least 10 random upper- and lower-case letters and digits, and they should be different. Any password that you can remember is weak.
    You are wasting your time deleting files on the computer. Those files are not related to the problem in any way.

  • OfficeJet "New HP... cartridge installed" pop-ups won't quit

    HP Officejet 7310 All-in-One:  Two pop-ups for “New HP Photo Print Cartridge [and Tri-color Print Cartridge] successfully installed” appear at monitor center EVERY time I print.  My printer is directly connected to my PC, my work requires pop-ups enabled, and I frequently have to “Print current page” of a pdf.  Each pop-up has to be dismissed before I can use mouse or keyboard.  Happening for 2 months now. How can I turn these off?

    Hello kenishal,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    Sorry to hear that the Officejet Pro 8500 is not printing its colors correctly, usually this type of issue is resolved by replacing the printhead. Hopefully we can get the printer past "checking device" to see if it has resolved the problem.
    You can try removing and installing the printheads and the cartridges again, here is a walk through guide: 'Initializing' Displays on the All-in-One for Longer Than Expected During Setup.
    If that helps get the printer to finish "checking device" and you are still having the missing or incorrect color issue, take a look through this support page: Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality.
    Let me know if those suggestions have helped.

  • How do you permanently (as long as possible) delete maleware pop ups on your safari-- that i know will eventually spread and attack my various computer files?? HELP HELP HELP! i haven't found a good enough solution!!

    -1 Delete MALEWARE SOFTWARE through a safe apple or apple advertised rescue program
    - 2 MONITOR/REJECT POP UPS on safari/google chrome
    - 3 Have CONTROL OVER ADVERTISING YOU DO NOT WANT TO SEE- through using filter systems in a new anti pop up software too?
    - 4 DOES A PROGRAM EXIST THAT DOES ANTI POP UP ADVERTISING AND MALEWARE FIGHTING??
    - 5 I ABSOLUTELY HATE OF THIS HACKING! RUINS MY BELIEF IN APPLE, SAFARI AND INTERNET SAFTEY!! HELP!

    The old rule of thumb was to keep 10-12 GB free. Any lower than that and you will start to have trouble. I was very close to that for a long time and never had any complaints. Now, Lion "encourages" 20% free space (on my newer 250 GB drive) so I try to keep it with more than 50 GB free.
    Do you still have the original memory in that machine too? The metal plate you have to remove in the battery compartment also provides access to the RAM. Your machine will take 2 GB of RAM, possibly 3. You definitely want to max that out too.
    Regardless, you definitely need a new hard drive. When Apple switched to PC components, they had to take a quality hit. These 2.5" notebook hard drives are not very reliable. I'm surprised your hard drive hasn't died by now. I usually get a new hard drive with every major OS upgrade. A $ 50 investment every couple of years is no big deal.
    Unfortunately, you (and I) suffer from being an early adopter in 2006. Those 32-bit machines only accept 2 GB RAM (maybe 3) and are only 32-bit so they can't be upgraded to Lion. Because of this limitation, you won't see as dramatic an improvement as you would with a 2007 machine. If you run more than a couple of applications, your hard drive is always going to have to be doing some VM work. My 2006 machine has even lost its bluetooth. I gave it to my brother. My very similar 2007 Macbook is still running great.
    So, you must get a new hard drive because your old one is likely on death's door. If you don't have at least 2 GB - get it. If you can't afford a new machine, you might want to consider an SSD. That might help mitigate your RAM limitations. You can spend from $ 100 to $ 350 and get a dramatic speed improvement.

  • Alert pop-ups

    I have 4 email addy’s for the phonetically-challenged: xcription, xscription, excription, exscription.
    I’ve been getting Alert boxes:
    1. “Sending of password didn’t succeed. Mail server mail.comcast.net responded: LOGIN failed. (click OK)”
    2. “Login failed – Login to server mail.comcast.net failed (Retry) (Enter new password) (cancel)”
    3. “Error w/ acct xcription – Sending of password for user excription didn’t succeed. Mail server mail.comcast.net responded: LOGIN failed (click OK)”
    I *do* connect, but the Alert boxes still keep popping up ad nauseum.
    In the lower left of the Mozilla Thunderbird screen, it will say “sending login info” (that’s -ing, not “sent”).
    In the lower right of the Mozilla thunderbird screen, the green slider bar has been “all the way” over, but Not going away.
    These have got to be ramifications of something wrong with Tools, Account Settings.
    I’ve contacted Comcast, and got no where. They just instructed me to change incoming mail port, putting SMTP port, and “none” to SSL. Frankly, I do NOT notice anything working any different, better or worse, as a result of those changes – so I’ve experimented with going back to the original ports, and MAY be getting better service – but the lower left & lower right Mozilla Thunderbird phenomena are still there.
    In the process of re-programming the Account Settings, somehow 2 of the email addy’s are gone – but the Tools Account Settings don’t let me delete, re-add, etc.
    Please help me fix these issues so I don’t get these blasted Alert pop-ups all the time.

  • Too much pop-ups on Safari :(

    It started the other day. I don't know what I did different but that's when the pop-ups started coming up. Just like a few minutes ago, when I clicked "Log in" here, a new pop-up tab showed up. I can't stand it anymore. Whenever I click on something, it's either a pop-up will come up from the lower left of the screen or it'll just open up in a new tab.
    All the pop-ups are blocked.
    Help please, thanks!

    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Install Torch Browser Pop ups

    My Firefox browser has been overtaken by the "install Torch Browser" and "www.newhtsoft.com - Free home tab" pop up screens. These pop ups continue to request I download and install their software. Currently, this appears to be only affecting Firefox, but I've read this can also affect other browsers. I am not a programer or experienced root user, but if there is a fix, I would welcome all feedback. Below is my system profiler report:

    The too-full hard disk drive is an issue to contend with, a backup to external hard disk drive is recommended, then you can remove any user created (itunes, iphoto, movies) once reliable libraries are moved or copied to the external. There is a way to move libraries, etc correctly so they can be used by their associated applications.
    That is not why I am writing now.
    I'm curious about how your computer arrived at possibly having adware installed, and what kind it has in it, or at least in the Firefox browser (or other locations) since the Install Torch is a proof of some kind of adware... And you should look into
    •The Safe Mac: Adware Removal Guide
    http://www.thesafemac.com/arg/
    From a web site suggesting another path to cure that, the following suggests anyone with the issue you describe to download & install some probably bogus removal tools to be rid of the stuff your computer is doing, but really the answer is in the Adware removal guide....
    "Victims often notice Torch Browser or Torch add-ons and extensions such as Torch Music installed onto their computers without consent. if this is the case, it is likely that Torch Browser bundled with previous downloads including freeware, shareware, codecs, and torrents. Torch Browser primarily bundles with media related software including video converters and P2P clients, as well as third-party browser add-ons, extensions, plug-ins, and Toolbars."    -- this, from a possibly bogus site where one could get an Uninstaller; but their removal tool can be a source of bigger problems, since it Installs more stuff.
    The adware known as Conduit has been said to probably be behind this but there may be others. There are a few things the Safe Mac pages can help you find out about the item affecting your browser. These adware malware items can affect other browsers, in the same way it may have affected your FireFox. This appears to have been going on for a time, and likely has evolved since it first appeared a year or two ago.
    So, this is something to look into.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Adware pop ups and redirects to strange websites....

    I have the 10.9.3 software on my mac. I recently downloaded the adware removal tool from thesafemac because I had a bunch of pop ups and redirects in safari. Here are a few examples of whats popping up: mackeeperapp2.zeobit.com & unizz.exclusiverewards.dollfield.eu
    It also started affecting both my wife’s and my iPhones 5s and ipad air in safari - lots of redirects and taking me to the App Store…
    Any idea how to move forward with this?

    There are two possibilities: either the router has been hacked to direct DNS queries to a malicious server, or it's using the right DNS servers, but those servers have been hacked. The first possibility is more likely.
    Follow the manufacturer's instructions to reset the router to the default state. Usually that involves inserting the end of a straightened paper clip or a similar tool into a pinhole somewhere in the back of the device, and pressing a switch inside for about 15 seconds. The pinhole may be marked "RESET."
    Repeat the initial setup process. Make sure the router does not allow remote setup from the Internet (WAN port), if it has that feature—most do. The DNS servers should be set automatically by your ISP. If you still have trouble with those servers selected, contact your ISP.
    Another option, if your ISP fails to secure its servers promptly, is to use an alternative DNS service such as Google DNS or OpenDNS. I don't recommend either one. Don't believe the marketing hype about OpenDNS, in particular. There are no advantages to using it if your ISP is delivering the service you pay for.
    If you have a wireless network, it must be secured with WPA 2 encryption. The passwords for the network and the router must each be a string of at least 10 random upper- and lower-case letters and digits, and they should be different. Any password that you can remember is weak.
