My hp all in one printer d209a is printing pictures with very light black streaks on picture

What can i do remove these very light black lines?

Hi Babs1955,
Yes, online drivers are available for downloading so you will not need an actual installation disk. I am unsure of which model of printer you are working with and operating system, therefore, I am going to post you the direct link to the drivers page.
You will need to input your printers model number and follow the steps from there until you see your driver.
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/drivers.html
If you are unable to find the driver, please let me know your model number and OS and I will be happy to find it for you!
Take care

Looking for an All-In-One Printer Rec. with Mac

Hello,
I'm looking for a Color Laser All-In-One printer, with ADF and Networking capability for under $600. Any recommendations of printers that work well with Mac? I know the HP's are good, but my concern is with their software. I've had nightmare experiences with them.
Thanks!

Bought the HP Color LaserJet 1312nfi for 399.99.

HP Deskjet 3520 e-All in one printer trouble with scanning network, connection and very slow print

Dear all
I bought two days ago HP Deskjet 3520 e-All-in one printer serie, but i have some really bad issues with the scanner! I have searched on the internet and i couldn’t find anything to solve the problem.
I have installed the printer according to the book of the printer, so everything did go well(i think), except that i can’t connect the scan to my computer, a Mac OS X (i am connected with the printer). I get directed to the website where i can connect the scanner, but every time i try to connect it with wi-fi, i get two notification, one from my computer (from HP Itility (Dutch) program) that the connection is off and second from the website that i have to make sure that i’m connected with internet (which i am) and to check the IP address if it is the same with my computer (which is the same).
Obesely something did go wrong, but i can’t find the problem.
Beside when its copy or prints a document (no matter how many pages) it’s very slow. It takes 10 -15 minutes till the printer starts. Has it something to do with the problem i’ve got with the scanner or is the printer always so slow? Because the very first time, when i installed the printer, it printed very fast.
By the way i also print the test-results to check if there is a problem, but according to test-results there are no problems at all.
I hope that someone recognize this problem and can help me to solve it.
Regards,
Esra

Hp 8600 All in one printer problem with scanning through wired network its very slow!

Hi
i have problem with scanning thru network which takes almost more than 2minutes very slow compared to scanning when printer connected locally with USB. i need some solution to fix this issue. Plz advise me what needs to be done prior to scanning?

Welcome to the community @Larrypat
I understand your printer is not connecting wireless and only connecting USB. I have some questions and ideas for you that should help. Let's get to it!
Could you please remove the USB cable, run the Print and Scan Doctor again and send me a screen shot of the results from running the diagnostic tool?
Also let me know which model from the C7200 series you have:
HP Photosmart C7250 All-in-One Printer
HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One Printer
HP Photosmart C7288 All-in-One Printer
Try power cycling the network devices:
Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer. Run the Print and Scan Doctor afterwards and try printing.
Let me know how it goes and the results

All in One printer issue with Windows 8.1 update

Hi all,
Hoping someone out there may be able to help with the following.
I have a Canon MG8250 all in one printer/scanner. All was fine on Windows 8, but then upgraded to 8.1 a couple of weeks ago. Just got round to using the printer and scanner and the printer wouldn't work (scanner was fine). Uninstalled MP drivers and reinstalled from Canon site and all seemed fine with the printing. Alas the scanner now would not work. Did the same, uninstalled MP Navigator Ex and reinstalled from Canon site, but no fix this time. PC says "Cannot start MP Navigator Ex" and printer says "Set PC to start scanning".
Anybody know how to fix?
Thanks,
Peter

All in one printer compatible with Mavericks

I have an Epson Stylus NX 430 which I've been unable to use since "upgrading" to Mavericks. Tried my HP Scanjet G3010 - also not compatible. I just need the name of an all in one printer/scanner that *is* compatible with Mavericks.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Judith,
It says in this Doc that the NX430 Printer driver is available. - so I think it will work for printing.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3669#epson
You'll have to check with Epson about scanner driver.
Have you been able to print? Do you get some error message? Most common one is "unable to download driver from the server." That just means you need to Reset the Printing System, then Add the printer:

HP C309a All in one Printer - Problems with printing documents the correct size.

Hi I recently purchased an HP 309a as a replacement for an EPSON printer which had to be replaced a couple of times so I thought I would change manufacturer.
The HP printer prints well in post places but when I print from Excel on an A4 scale it only prints 3/4 size on an A4 page. I tried everything to get it to print the correct size. I have adjusted the settings to scale to A4, print boderless etc and it just will not print correctly.
It seems to be ok in Word and many other programs so I don't know why there is an issue with Excel. Iam I missing something, please help.
Also is there any way to default the printer to A4 automatically instead of 8" x 11".

I also have issues using this printer with Excel/ Word.
When I am using Excel or Word I have to remove the HP 309a as my default printer.
when set as default, excel and word just "hang" for up to 3 minutes when opening or saving.
I called HP who said the printer works with all other files so basically it's tough. One of their tech guys tried to sort it out but couldn't.
Has anyone else had this same problem? If so, how was it resolved?
£300 for a printer that doesn't work with MS. It's not funny and I won't buy HP product again.

Charleshia, you can upload a photo here to reply. Click Reply, then on the window you'll see the image below..
click the one which has the red box, it's where you insert the photo
Going back on your issue.. the basic step would be.. take out the inks then close the door... what error message you got? If it's saying "Missing Ink Cartridge" just hit OK. Unplug the power cable at back of the printer, plug it back in.. Clean the copper contacts on the ink cartridges using a lint free cloth then reinstall them. Let me know if it resolved it or not.. I can only give basic troubleshooting here

7410 All in one printer problems with working all of a sudden.

My printer seems to have disappeared from my printer list. I have removed the software and re-installed, it sees the printer but nothing shows up in the printer list like it used to. I have set it on a static IP on a wired network. I started running the HP tech assistant and it failed on the Windows item 3rd in the list. The first 2 items passed. It said to power cycle both printer and computer. Did that and same error again. I can't re-run that thing right now but it starts doing things with the scanner when I try to run its fix part of the program and that is where the error comes in. I can't scan, print or fax from the computer any more. I have other computers here and the software works on them so it is something within this machine. Only software added was PC Speedup from the web. Seems to match that time frame when it was put in. It resolved other problems I was having but seems to have screwed up the HP software.
When I try to re-install the software file (latest from the web site) it sees the printer IP, asks if it is the one I want to install which I answer yes to and it goes on its marry way finishing the installation but nothing shows in the printer list after it is done or after it is rebooted.
Any ideas on what to do next?
Don.

Hello dh-agi,
It sounds like that PC Speedup certainly messed something up (probably in the registry). You may have to do a system restore to a point in time before you did so.
However, before you do that, I recommend 'scrubbing' the existing printer installation(s) and starting 'fresh'. To do this, follow the instructions below:
If you are installing from Original installation CD:
1. Insert CD into drive, and then cancel the installer
2. Open My Computer, and then right click on the CD drive and chose open
3. Open folder Util
4. Open folder CCC
5. Run the L4uninstall (unless you have an HP PC, then run L3uninstall)
6. When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
7. Run Disk cleanup from Accessories\ System Tools
8. Download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player using the link below
Adobe Flash Player
9. Download the latest full feature software and drivers using the link below
http://goo.gl/q2hE0
10. Run the download to reinstall the printer
If software was downloaded and extracted to your system:
1. Hold the Windows key + r key, type %temp% in the run field, then hit Enter
2. Look for, and open a folder starting with 7z (Example: 7zS2356)
3. Open folder Util
4. Open folder CCC
5. Run the L4uninstall (unless you have an HP PC, then run L3uninstall)
6. When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
7. Run Disk cleanup from Windows System Tools
8. Download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player using the link below

Epson all in one printer - compatible with 10.9.5? Cannot import from scanner in Preview

Got a new Epson printer. Set up is fine; wirelessly connected. Downloaded and updated all drivers. Still cannot import from scanner into Preview. Anyone else? Seems like this was a problem in 2013 as far as I can see from other forum discussions. Any advice? Scanner works manually so it's the set up, compatibility or...?

What do you mean "import from scanner to Preview?"
Does the scanner actually scan, if so what file format (jpg, pdf, tiff, etc...) are you scanning in? Once you have successfully scanned simply open Preview and open the file. Another method is selecting the scanned file, right click and select Open With and select Preview.

HT2693 Kodak All-in-One printer and Airprint?

Can a Kodak All-in-One printer run with Airprint? Is there a device that adds Airprint and Airplay to devices that do not have that feature?

Kodak does not appear in the list of Compatible Air Print Manufactuers in the following link:
AirPrint Basics.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
With that said, there are several alternatives both software and hardware based to give non Airprint compatible printers the ability to be used by iPads, iPhones and other iDevices.
If you are running a Mac Pc you can look into Printopia

If you are more interested in a hardware solution look into Air Print servers such as:

All in One Printer no longer scanning (C5280)

I have an oldish printer/scanner that was working fine until I downloaded the update that came from HP on Aug. 13th. Since then, I cannot scan. I got an error message that the machine was disconnected from the computer which made no sense since I can print from the computer just fine. I did all the things the error message suggested: rebooting, disconnecting the cable, redownloading the driver. The machine worked for about 5 pages of the scan after the redownload, then conked out again.
I saw some directions about going into the registry editor window but they were for Windows 7 and below. I have Windows 8. I did not see a folder for Digital Imaging in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/H-P
If there are updated directions for Windows 8, pleae let me know.
I have an All in One Printer (C5280)

Hello @Toonces , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing scan issues. I would like to try and help.
I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once it is uninstalled, I would suggest putting your system into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration. You can do so by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would suggest reinstalling the HP Photosmart C5200 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Hp officejet pro 8500 premier all-in-one printer

The above printer is 1 1/2 years old and it has stopped printing. When the printing became light, I installed new print cartridges less than a week ago. Now, after five days, the printer is consistently cleaning the print heads and aligning the print heads and my documents are not being printed. And, what is most frustrating, during all the cleaning and aligning, all of my new ink is gone and I'm receiving a message replace ink cartridges.
Re: Problem with HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer: cleans printheads every time it's turned on

Well,
to this is say, "get used to it", or throw it away. Many, Many, Many people have had trouble with this printer.
The following are common and frustrating issues that this printer exhibits on a regular basis:
1. Constant Self-Checking (usually every 20-30 pages of print)
2. Very persistant Printhead Cleaning/Checking, (Every startup and after about 20-30 pages printed).
3. Worn-out printheads (usually within 1,100 to 1,500 pages printed).
4. Paper mis-feeds.
5. Paper jams.
6. Nearly impossible to use once the printer reports ink-depletion.
7. Nearly impossible to use CIS Ink for larger print jobs.
8. Ink and printheads "expire" regardless of when they are placed into service. (get a deal on ink or printheads last year? Too bad, the warranty is already expired, most likely).
In short, this printer is the most EXPENSIVE printer I've ever owned, and the most frustrating to use.
I have just over 2,000 pages of regular text printed matter with very little color, and have already gone through 4 sets of ink, and 2 sets of PrintHeads.
Although it's true that you can leave the unit on, and let it go into standby, you should NOT be punished with constant and time-consuming "self-checking" everytime it's turned on, or prints a handful of pages, BUT, it does NOT appear that HP will be standing behind this printer disaster. AND, to make things worse, they've gone on to redesign it, giving it a different look, and so there are about 6 different models/versions of the OfficeJet Pro 8500.
Anyone needing a reliable print/fax/scan/copy solution should look beyond this printer, because it will leave you wanting more, and spending more than you ever imagined you would have to on a late model printer.ro
What is going on? Why does it just automatically clean and align? I also get alignment failed messages. Any suggestiions?

rammerjammer,
Thank you for bringing this to my attention, your feedback is very important and I want to do my best to help. To answer what is going on, since the printing became light, started cleaning itself constantly, and fails the alignment, the printhead was damaged. Click here to see and use the Limited Warranty for HP Ink Cartridges, Printheads, and Related Supplies. There are many ways to contact HP. The number to call is 1-800-474-6836 for HP and Compaq products for Home & Home Office use. If you no longer have a warranty with the printer you can still use the warranty that comes with the printhead or ink cartridges.
If you have a carepack with the printer that extended the one year warranty then the troubleshooting will be covered along with the printer if the printer needs replacing. Check product warranty here, see HP Out of Warranty Support Options for Select HP Consumer Printers here.
To order a new printhead you can go to HP Sure Supply and enter your printer or go to the HP Parts Store and order the printhead by part number C4900A for the Black and yellow and part number C4901A for the Cyan Magenta. These printheads go by region also so be sure you are using the right region, these were found using the United States region.
The HP Officejet Pro 8500 Premier All-in-One printer has separated the ink cartridges from the printheads. The ink cartridges are on the lower left and the removable print heads are on the carriage inside the printer. The printer goes through a calibration process when turned on that will use ink. Leave the printer on and let it go into stand by mode. This type of printer is energy star efficient and made to calibrate on start up and be left on. Allow the printer to clean or calibrate only if the printer must. If it starts cleaning a lot it may be time to do a little maintenance to the printer (recommend once a month for maintenance). Please see the following links for further details.
Cleaning the Printhead Contacts
Printer Paper Tears, Wrinkles, or is Damaged while Printing from the All-in-One
Paper Path Issues in the Automatic Document Feeder
Officejet Pro 8500 User Guide
The printer has a duty cycle of 7.5k page/month. The XL cartridges have a composite page yield of 1.4k pages with about a third of the black ink left over. To me it would seem that the printhead should last somewhere in between. This printer was designed to save money on ink compared to the rest of the officejets. I hate that it has been causing so much trouble, hopefully the information I provided will help.

Driver question - my all in one printer will print but not scan

Hi
I have an HP c4280 (you know, the all in one printer you could get for free with the mail in rebate in 2007). I just plug it in and my mac recognizes it as a printer, and it prints fine, but image capture does not recognize it as a scanner. Before I upgraded to leopard I had all of HP's stupid software installed but after upgrading to leopard it didn't work (surprise). A lot of other things didn't work either so I did an erase and install and now everything works beautifully (I feel like I have old Tiger back, but better). However, I do not want to install HP's stupid overbloated and highly unnecessary mountain of software on my nice new clean system (I have turned into kind of an apple-only purist I guess ^_^). I checked HP's website and all they have is the same ginormous software bundle for download, and the installation wizard does not allow the option to install only components of the software (its all 28 programs or nothing). So, my question is, does anybody know where I can find only the driver I need (or WHAT driver I need) to make this printer compatible with image capture so I can scan?

You need to download the full featured driver from the HP site, and it also seems HP has an update for the Leopard installation as well.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=219&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&produc t=3192753&lang=en
I too have a C4280 and wasn't able to use my scanner until I had fully installed the HP software.
