My c4280 photosmart printer will not load paper

My PhotoSmart C4280 as of today will no longer load(pull up paper in).  Can it be fixed or should I just buy a new printer?

Hi - Try following the steps in this video.  In a lot of cases, the problem is just a buildup of dust/paper dust on the pick rollers and cleaning them, as shown in the video, will resolve it.
Hope that helps.

  • Printer will not feed paper

    Printer will not feed paper.

    Hello @99stonemo99,
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand that your Photosmart C309 is not feeding paper.
    I would like to help.
    It sounds like you have done all the trouble shooting.
    Please review the following document for any missed steps.

    If the printer will still not feed paper, then it is probably time for a new printer.
    The Photosmart family of printers is currently being switched over to the ENVY family. 
    The new printers are also eligible for the Instant Ink program.
    There are about fourteen printers.
    Eleven that you can click on to bring up the user manual.
    This user manual should tell you if the printer can handle card stock.

  • Support Code 1007 printer will not feed paper from lower tray!

    PIXMA MG5422 will not feed paper from lower tray. Wifi connect Mac OS X 10.9.4

    I have the same problem with my Canon MG7120 and it's SUPREMELY annoying. I have a iMac running 10.10.4 and am also trying to use iPhones. The printer has no option to print from the lower tray if it sees any color or any odd size page. Anything from the iPhone will be treated the same, rendering it completely useless. I love Canon printers, have had many in the past, but this one is really really annoying.

  • Photosmart printer will not connect to network, unable to set IP Address Manually

    My Photosmart printer has worked fine for a long time but it now refuses to connect to the network.  It is wired into the router and I have changed the lead and this shows no chnage.  The Printer network set-up shows an IP address of 0.0.0.0 in manual mode and if I reset this and press OK it immediately reverts to 0.0.0.0.  I've also tried putting the printer into Automatic IP address but it still fails.  Subnet Mask and Default Gateway also show as 0.0.0.0.  I can reset the Subnet Mask and Gateway to the correct levels but as soon as I go back to set the IP address they revert to 0.0.0.0.  The printer will work from a USB connection but it will then not share correctly.   Is it possible to reboot the onboard program?

    Oh, an ISP-supplied router.  Uggh.
    OK, remove the phone (DSL) cord from the back of the router.  Cycle power on the router, then attach the printer with the phone cord disconnected.
    Now, Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
    - Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
    - Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
    - Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). You can find the DHCP range of the router using its internal settings page or in its manual. Use the CD that came with your router or type the router's IP address (ends in .1) into a browser.
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway and first DNS. Leave the second one blank.
    - Click 'Apply'.
    Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
    After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

  • Trouble shooting imac g3, printer will not load, even after a redownload OS

    Certain things are not working, including the printer.
    I had a power outage and recently downloaded digital camera software.
    And first noticed printer is not working and the error message was,
    ( check printer connections)!
    I had no changes there, so i tried to redownload the software.
    software is there but is NOT recognized in the chooser.
    Permissions are run and there is no problem.
    Now I know It's time for a new imac, but for now i have to limp this one along.
    When redownloading the OS from 8.6 to 10.3.9, the classic would not let me change the
    extensions to mac OS all, for each upgrade?
    So I 'am thinking some setting is wrong or somthing is fried?
    But I desperately need my printer.
    Maybe the printer is fried, has power and software is there?
    Any help woud be appreciated.

    "I had no changes there, so I tried to redownload the software. Software is there but is NOT recognized in the chooser."
    Does this printer have pre-OS X drivers?
    "When redownloading the OS from 8.6 to 10.3.9, the classic would not let me change the extensions to Mac OS all, for each upgrade?"
    What do you mean "redownloading the OS from 8.6 to 10.3.9?" Classic requires at least OS 9.1 (preferably updated to OS 9.2.2), which is independent of OS 8.6. Panther (10.3.x) is a separate installation. Were you attempting to use the Extensions Manager, to solve an extensions problem? When using a third-party printer, it's sometimes necessary to disable these (3) Apple printer extensions (Desktop Printer Spooler, Desktop PrintMonitor, and PrintMonitor) to prevent conflicts with the printer's own drivers.

  • My 5510 photosmart printer will not print black any longer, I have tried everything !

    I have the hp photosmart printer 5510. It has stopped printing black. I did numerous cleanings, turned if off and on using the formula stated in the help section...nothing is working and I cannot keep wasting my color ink printing test pages over and over. This is frustrating obviously there is an issue with these printers! Can i get this fixed or am i going to have to box it up and ship it back to hp???

    Sorry to hear you are having problems with the printer. Have you tried another Black cartridge to rule out if the replacement cartridge was a problem? I would pull out that cartridge and check to warranty ends date that is printed on the cartridge's label. Also reseating all the cartridges might help. Pull them all out and insert them back in to reseat them. If you have done these steps too you might want to call in to customer support so they can look at this hardware issue. If you are in warranty they can look at various options to help you out. I am including a link to a document that is used for this issue just so you can look over it and check off everything you have done.

  • My photosmart printer will not print from my I Phone . It has e-print option.

    Printer wont print from my I-Phon 3s

    Hi pmauldin,
    You would need at least an iPhone 3GS to use AirPrint which is a built-in printing feature from Apple.  However, you should be able to use either the HP ePrint or Printer Control apps.  You can check these out here:
    HP ePrint App:  http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/smart-phones-handhelds-calculators/mobile-apps/app_details.html?ap...

  • C310A WILL NOT FEED PAPER. PRINTER CLICKS. If IT PUSH PAPER IN BY HAND, IT WILL PRINT, BUT NOT AUT

    HP PHOTOSMART 310A printer will not feed paper.  It is about 6 months old, with minimal use at home.  It has always done a lot of clicking, but now when it would normally feed the paper, it clicks for several seconds, and the top piece of paper does not feed,  it then clicks again, like it is trying feed paper, then to back the paper out, and then stops.  The printer then posts a no paper in tray error.  When I reload it does the same thing again.   Does the printer not have a optical paper in tray sensor?  It should be able to see the paper is in the tray fairly easily, not sure why it uses the feed roller to sense paper?
    It does not seem to work, regardless of the number of sheets used.  1, 10, 25, or mostly full of paper.  
    The clicking sounds more like gears slipping, rather than the normal clicking it makes all the time.  (with about 30 or 40 clicks in a few seconds, all at a fairly regular rate.)
    it only clicks after the little arm extends down and touches the top of the paper stack.  There is a metal arm, with two white wheels that is dropped from above the paper onto the tray, and it appears to be that arm that is clicking.  It looks like it is trying to push the first (top) sheet of paper into the printer.  The top sheet does not move.   If I push the paper, it will take the paper and run just fine for that one sheet.
    I opened the back, and there is an area with a couple of larger wheels that look like they feed the paper up from the tray into the printer.  In that area there was a cardboard piece with CN503-00012 printed on the side.  It appeared to be loose in the cover, and not sure what that is for? if it should be there? or if it is related,  I removed the cardboard piece.  Not sure what to do with that.  I do not think it is nessisarily related, since if I can feed the paper by pushing it, it takes it and prints.
    Help explain what is going on.
    John

    I do not recognize the cardboard peice you describe - I just opened up my c310a and did not see anything like this.  It may have been part of the packing material....
    At any rate, I would suggest following the troubleshooting steps in this page.

  • Photosmart D7560 will not print envelopes - load paper into main tray

    My photosmart d7560 will not print envelopes, after moving the envelope into position for printing, the message "load paper into main tray" is displayed.  It does print the envelope data correctly on a piece of 8.5x11 paper.  Setup is for a #10 envelope.  Envelopes are self sealing.  I have tried creasing the edge better but that didn't help.  I tried a non-self seal (which had a letterhead on it so I couldn't use it for this mailing) and it DID work.  Is there any way to make self seal envelopes work in this printer?
    This question was solved.

    Do you have the flap folded inside the envelope, so that it does not stick out?

  • HT1338 my Epson R3000 will not load printer paper

    Hi, my Epson R3000 will not load printing paper and say's there is communication error, has  any one had this problem? , thanks

    Yes, 90% of the time I try to print something I get that error, and have been gettign that error for years, since the days of OS X Leopard. I have been pausing/resuming each printer to get it to start transferring files again, or, sometimes it won't work and I have to go through the wifi setup again, or unplug cat5 cable and plug it back in, or power cycle the printer if on USB.
    I contacted Epson, and as you most likely know, they have no qualified personnel. They got me throuhg the obvious steps like removing the drivers, re-installing them (I actually did a find / -name "*epson*" and removed everything I found), rebooting the router (poor thing has nothing to do with it, it's working fine otherwise), swapping cat5 cables, usb cables.
    I have 3 of these R3000 printers and they all exhibit the same issues. All of my other printers connected to the same computer/router/wifi do not exhibit this issue. I have Artisan 50 (usb), the 1400 (usb), and 3 Artisan 835s (wifi).
    The things I hate most about  Epson and its printers are the following:
    - they come with 0 support form Epson. If you know what find . -name is, you're already more qualified than any CS rep that's going to answer
    - their drivers get updates very slowly for the OS X platform at least
    - only some older printers will how you # printed pages/ # pages remaining. The R3000 for example shows "spooling job, 3% complete". Very informative.
    - the printer driver for the R3000 creates some kind of proxy files that are HUGE in size, and it's done every time, for each page. It effectively takes 10 minutes to start printing 60 copies of 300DPI letter size photoshop designed files. The printer definitely doesn't have 5GB of RAM or temporary space to hold all that, so why not START FREAKING PRINTING while that stuff goes on in the background for subsequent pages? And if it's the same exact graphic, why doesn't the computer just simply send the first generated proxy file 60 times in a row rather than create 60 different proxy files?
    - all Epson printers I've ever played with will stop printing mid page when it thinks it's out of ink. This determination is done in the chip of the cartridge in combination with the printer firmware, not by actual reading of the ink levels. I would much prefer that the printer would continue to print that page and stop after. Less wasted paper, and the cartridges I throw out ALWAYS have enough ink in them to finish printing one silly page.
    - print quality doesn't change until you spend $500 or more on a printer (print heads are virtually the same type/size on all of Artisan printers for example), ignoring, of course, dye ink vs pigment ink
    - did I mention no qualified customer service personnel and complete disinterest in taking any customer feedback into consideration?
    In conclusion, I am very sorry to let you know that I have yet to find a solution to this, and Epson has been ignoring it for years. If you do bump into something worthwhile though, please post it here.
    Thank you!
