My HP Officejet J6480 All-In-One has started printing multiple pages.

All of a sudden my officejet J6480 printer is printing multiple pages every time I print.  I've made sure it is saying only 1 copy, but it still continures printing the extra pages.

Disconnect the power cable and the usb cable from the computer. Restart both the printer and the computer. Clear the print que. Fan all the pages in the printer. Power on the printer connect the usb cable and try printing again. Happy Printing

  • J6480 All-in-One doesn't print whole page

    I have a J6480 All-in-One and when I print envelopes it sometimes does not print the last part of the address.  For example
    Return Address
    Prints Fine
    City, State  ZIP    
                                                                            Jonathan A. Smi
                                                                            123 Broadway S
                                                                             Anywhere, IL  61
    It might do this once or twice and then finally print correctly.  Very frustrating.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, what I found was that if I create and save a envelope file in Word 2007 then the printing works correctly every time.

    Hi - Does it print slowly from all applications or just certain ones?  In either case, you can try following the steps in this document.
    In addition, try going into Control Panel, Printer, right click on the printer and choose Printer Properties.  Click on the Advanced Tab and select Print Direcly to the Printer.
    Hope that helps.

  • Communication Failure With HP Officejet J6480 All-In-One

    I bought a new printer, an HP Officejet J6480 All-In-One, and set it up with my PC.
    Then, I set it up with my mac. I get this error: "Communication Failure: The computer is no longer able to communicate with your printer. Turn the printer off, check your printer connections and check for printer errors, and turn the printer back on."
    I recently bought an Epson printer but returned it cause it was too slow. That printer gave me a similar (maybe the same, I don't remember) error. I can scan and check ink levels but I can't print. I'm connected by USB by the way.
    What's wrong? I downloaded the latest drivers and software yesterday. Why can't I print?

    And on HP Photosmart C7280 All-In-One.
    I've got mine connected to the network on Ethernet - figured that would be less problematic than wifi - and my MacPro can see everything about the printer, just not print to it. This includes the C7280's built-in webserver which - like alot of SOHO routers - gives you a web-based interface to the printer's configuration and status. Everything on that page looks right-on, but no printing.
    The printer's copy and fax functions work, and I can even scan images and save them across the network onto my machine, so the printer is already interoperating with the network to a high degree, just not printing.
    Like alot of people, I bypassed the HP driver CD and downloaded a fresh software package yesterday from HP's site (200MB+, ***?), which is what I used to configure my system. As far as I could tell, there appear to be no firmware updates available for this printer. MacOS "Software Update" doesn't offer any printer driver updates - I'll try the posted link to Apple's site next.

  • Hp officejet 6500 all in one won't print in black

    I cleaned the printhead to eliminate clogs which had worked in past.  Did not work this time. 
    Purchased and installed a new printhead and ran a report which showed the black ink working. 
    Ink levels in all cartridges, however, were low.  Purchased new 920 XL cartridges and installed.  Ran an alignment and said it failed.
    Ran the cleaning of the printheads and then ran a report and still no black ink.
    Ran status and quality reports and now the black will NOT print (when it was printing the day before with the new printhead). 
    HELP!  Why will the black suddenly not print.  The printhead is new and the hp ink catridges are all new. 

    Hi, Jamison ~
    I had tried many of the things you noted (from the link) and at one point got an acceptable quality report (that included black) after replacing the printhead so it was particularly frustrating to then go back to no black after loading ink cartridges.  I had done the partial reset too (as I had seen that recommendation on a forum) waiting hours for it to sort itself out wasn't acceptable when I needed to print something.
    I have to admit that I finally threw in the towel and just got another printer.  I need to be able to have something reliable and tire of always sorting through how to unclog; clean; reset; order parts; get new cartridges; run through mutiple cleaning printhead cycles.  The lack of black print just seems to happen too often. 
    Thank you, though!  I truly appreciate you taking the time to write a thorough response for me.

    Hi @jfw , and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see you are experiencing print issues.  I would like to try and help.
    It appears you have covered much of the troubleshooting already.
    I would recommend removing the ink cartridges, and performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would also recommend this document on Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Officejet 6500 All-in-One Printer Series.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue, the best recommendation I could make would be to contact HP directly.  You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: Contact HP Worldwide.

  • IE 8 and compatibility with Officejet J6480 All-in-one

    I have the above Officejet J6480, connected via USB, XP operating system and earlier this year after installing IE 8 I found that the printer was not compatible.  Therefore I went back to IE 7, and have been awaiting news from HP that the compatibility issue has been resolved, but I haven't heard anything.   It would seem that installing IE 8 would be a good move if it is compatible with the printer.
    Questions:
    Is the Officejet J6480 now compatible with IE 8 assuming I have updated my printer software from the HP site?
    If not, what do I need to do in order to use IE 8?
    Is there any reason not to go to IE 8?
    Thanks for your help....

  • Officejet J6480 All-in-One Printer prints document leaves "error sent to printer" message in que.

    I have an officejet 6480 connected wirelessly that I'm printing to from an eithernet connected computer running Windows 8. When I print a document from various programs (notepad, adobe, outrlook, etc.) the document prints OK, but I'm left with a message in the que under status that says "error - sent to printer". 8/2 is listed under pagesand I'm printing a two page document. I've run HPSSdr and it says errors were found and it clears the que, but the next time I print I have the same problem. The printer is connected to an Actiontec PK5000 wireless/eithernet DSL modem/router. It is a securred router with a WEP password. When I do a test print from the HP software it clears OK, but it leaves the other message in the que. I also ran SFC /scannow, which didn't find any problems.

    The problem seems to have rectified itself. I did a system restore to before the last required updates and still had the problem. I reinstalled the updates that were removed and the problem seems to have gone away. I had to turn off and back on the printers wifi connection because I was getting a printer unavailable message. After all that it seems to be working now.

  • HP Officejet 5510 all in one - stalling of printing carriage and printing problems

    I have had this All in One Printer since December 2004. It had been working fine until I replaced a cartridge at a refill store over a year ago. To deal with the problem with HP I felt would be time consuming so I  put up with the problem and if I needed good quality printing, I would take it to Kinkos.
     The print carriage is slow to respond and print from my computer and then in the middle of the task the carriage will stop and stall or bang like it wants to move, but is stuck and then, with all the lights flashing, I get a message in the copier window for me to clear the printing jam or carriage jam and then press OK.   I open the door to the carriage and then close it and press OK.  It does not always work the first time to make the carriage stop banging. Eventually it will stop and the paper will release  and then it will continue finishing the task, but a lot of the time what is printed has double printing with jagging to one side of the paper.
    This is also affecting receiving any faxes because it involves print carriage.
    I have done all the steps for clearing a paper/carriage jam. There is nothing visable to cause a jam.  I have managed to do  the self test after the printer goes through some banging and  then telling me to open the door to clear the jam.    I have done the steps to
    clean the cartridges and then again do a self test.   I downloaded the latest driver/updates for the printer, but the problem persists.
    The cartridge refill store , not seeing the problem first hand, keeps offering for me to bring back the cartridges if the problem persists and replace them. 
    Do you think it is the cartridges or the unit?   I just replaced the black cartridge in December 2009 and have not print much knowing
    the quality would be poor.  Yesterday I saw a message that I am low on black ink. That does not seem possible.
    When I do the self test it is showing white lines through the colored bars and I am missing the pink or red bar. So I know I have to replace the color cartridge.
    As far as alignment,  when I did the first of two self tests,                                                     Second Test After the Drive Download
                                                               the Vertical Cartridge to Cartridge read    -12                               -24
                                                            the Horizontal Cartridge to Cartridge read    -24                                99
                                                the Black Bidirectional Cartridge to Cartridge read    -54                                0
                                                 the Color Bidirectional Cartridge to Cartridge read      6                                 6
    After doing the steps to automatically clean the cartridges, it printed a report with symbols at the top. They look to be squeezed together and the top portions of the symbols are missing.  The black bar has some white indents along the edges and the blue and yellow bars are spread more apart with some lighter colored lines vertically.
    I have Windows XP and the HP Director was not working.  I downloaded the patch and it is working correctly telling me that both cartridges are low, the black more than the tri-color and now a message that the print carriage has stalled.  The help button tells me  to do everything I have already done.
    Do you have an answer that I  can manage by myself or would it be better to take it to a computer repair place?
    Thank You , 918nifferf

    I have a carriage jam on my HP Officejet 5510 which I cannot correct.. I have tried everything I know to do. There are two black pieces that will not spring down when the cartridges travel across. I th en get a carriage jam message.
    Do these pieces need lubricated?
    How can I get t hem to go down when the carriage goes across?

  • Officejet 150 all-in-one stuck "now printing"

    Stuck on "now printing" - though it isn't.  It printed the "congatulations" page after installation and hasn't printed anything since.

    Hello jjctso,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that that printer is stuck on the Configuration page and it will not move on.
    I suggest that you cut all power to the printer and let it sit for at least 1 min and then reconnect the power.  This will do a semi reset on the unit.
    Here is a document that will give you instructions for Resetting the All-in-One.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

  • Deskjet 3050 All-In-One J610 only prints blank pages

    Hi,
    All of a sudden, my printer stopped printing. The ink levels in the cartridges look fine in the HP utlity, and I did the self-cleaning steps, but when I print something, only a blank page comes out. There is some ink around the edge of the paper, though, but nothing on the actual page.
    Any idea how I can fix this?
    Thanks.

    Hello jennydel,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    Cleaning the printheads is a great way to resolve print quality issues on the Deskjet 3050. On the cleaning page, does anything print on it?
    In this HP document: Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality Problems you will see the full HP suggested troubleshooting steps. I hope they are able to help get the printer working again.
