My Office Jet Pro L7590 has started to appear to skip lines when printing.

My printer seems to partially print lines, in some cases only the bottom half of letters is appearing on my printouts. I have cleaned the print heads and trired a couple of new cartidges but still the probelm persists. This is only happening to the black text. The Alignment report looks good and so does the Self Test Report but even on the Self Test Report some of the test is partially printed yet the reslults of the test look good.
I'm considering replacing the print heads but am not convinved that this will resolve the issue.

Make sure you have only one securtity system on your PC (for example if you have an old version of McAfee that you just left on there and added another system), uninstal the old, unused security system.
Go to Start > All Programs > HP > [your printer model] > Uninstall. Run it.
Restart your PC.
Download and install the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.

Office jet pro 8600 how to default to black ink only when printing from my ipad

Is there a way to set an option to print black ink only when printing from my Ipad 2?
When I use the print icon the only option that shows is double page. I would like to be able to print black only.
I can set that option when printing from my pc....

Hi,
Airprint does not support Black ink only printing, however the HP ePrint app allow it.
Be aware that the option is only available for documents (e.g Office files, PDFs, Web pages and emails) but not for Photo files.
You may find the steps to get and use the app in the document below:

My office jet pro l7590, prints from network router. one pc can connect but it remains "offline"

OJ Pro L7590. Connected to my network via router. All Win 7 PC's. One laptop connected wirelessly. Constantly shows Printer Offline.
I'm able to access the printer's web server from this PC. (on the network) It shows up as "ready" on the Device Information tab. However from the PC's printers menu, it is showing up as offline. When I go throught the HP Officejet Pro AiO "add a device" menu, it fails to connect in the very last step. This has been extremely frustrating.
It obviously "sees" the printer on the network. Windows connect a printer will work, but yields same result. Have latest full feature driver/software download.
Print Doctor does not see any problem. truly baffled. Wife's PC and she is the heaviest print user in the house. Son's apple Mac book printed wirelessly with no effort. (I'm not even sure he did anything special to make it work.)

Make sure you have only one securtity system on your PC (for example if you have an old version of McAfee that you just left on there and added another system), uninstal the old, unused security system.

Recurring Printing Problem with HP Office Jet Pro L7590 w/Windows XP operating system

This printer is a real workhorse but frequently, when printing large documents from the internet, the type changes from regular print to total giberish -something similar to a Russian Script. It does this midsteam into the document and there is no error message or any indicatin that something is wrong. It is also hit or miss-sometime I get the entire document in English and sometimes I don't. Unfortunately, I'm wasting a ton of paper and time to redo everything when it occurs.
Other than the above, it works fine. Any suggestions on how to correct?

So the printer will begin to print garbled text in the middle of large document print jobs, from time to time? Is this correct?
How is the L7590 connected to the WinXP PC? (USB, ethernet, wireless)
How long is the USB cable if connected this way?
How far away from the router is the printer if connected wirelessly?
If usb connected, how old is the USB cable?
It is possible that this problem is coming from a connection problem. If a minor connection issue exists, then it can leave portions of the print language being sent as commands to the printer out. This can change the printer's interpretation of the printer command language.

Office jet pro 8500 has error message

The error message "The following ink cartridge appears to be missing or damaged" continues to appear after cleaning print heads and all other remedies have been tried. Anyone know the solution to get printer back up and running.

Good luck; I have the same problem and just ordered an upgraded printere, figuring I can at least use the same ink!
I hope you find something. Are you still under warranty?

Hp office jet pro 8600 won't scan

Wirelessly connected office jet pro 8600 won't scan in windows. I've checked to make sure proper services are running and they are. Started running diagnostics utility and the driver didn't check out but I have the correct one installed and the printer works just fine. Occasionally a message pops up and says that the computer has lost connection with the scanner. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi GradyIV,
I can help you scan from your Officejet 8600 to your Windows operating system. It sounds like you have run the HP Print and Scan Doctor, is this whee you say the driver error?
I suggest using the following steps to delete the printer from device and printers, and the driver from the server properties.
1. In the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder
2. Choose ‘Print server properties’.
Win XP – With no printer selected, click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.
Windows Vista – With no printer selected, press ‘Alt’ then click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.
Windows 7/8 and 8.1 – Select any printer in the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder and click ‘Print Server properties’ above.
3. Click on the ‘Drivers’ tab at the top of ‘Print server properties’ window
4. Choose the printer you want to uninstall and click ‘Remove’
5. Choose 'Remove driver only'
6. The next screen will give a warning, letting you know that deleting the driver package will remove it from the system. Click ‘Yes’ to say that you are sure you want to do this.
If documents are stuck in the print spooler, you may see an error, cancel any documents pending in the print queue, or try restarting the print spooler, then try to remove the driver from ‘Print server properties’ again. If it still won’t remove the package, restarting the computer and the printer should resolve this ‘in use’ error and allow the driver to be removed.
After the driver is removed, open Start > All Programs > HP folder > Printer folder > HP Setup and Software (or the printer icon).
The Setup and software screen will open and you can click on Connect a new printer.
If the issue persists let me know and I will do what I can to help.

Printers HP Office Jet Pro 8600

So I've had an Office Jet Pro 8600 for about a year now. It has been great. just recently, the printing started going to black only and when I tried changing the color cartridges and the black cartridge, I could not get it to work right. It eiter printed black ink only, or it stopped and told me to contact HP.
Bummer. any idea what I can do for this?

Hi Arley2u,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you can either print in black ink only, or the HP Officejet pro 8600 printer stops, and tells you to contact HP. I am happy to help you with this printing issue!
For further assistance, I will need to know the following:
If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the printer is connected, Wireless, Ethernet, or USB.
If the printer is able to make copies by itself.
If the power cable plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
If the printer can print a test page. Printing a Test Page.
If the printer's display is showing any error messages/codes.
Hope to hear from you, and have a nice day!

Can't scan from Office Jet Pro 8600

I can't scan from my Office Jet Pro 8600. I'm connected to my home Verizon Fios wireless network. I'm running Windows XP. The printer works fine, but I can't scan. When I use the display on the printer I get a "No Computer Found" message. When I go to find the scanner on the Control Panel/Scanners & Cameras - I can see the printer listed, but when I click on the printer, I get a message that reads: "The scanning software could not be found, or your scanner is not connected. Please make sure your scanner & your scanner software are properly installed." So then I use the HP Print & Scan Doctor to download to "Get Installer" presumably to download the software. After the software downloads, there is no difference. I still can scan, & the network is not seeing the scanner. What gives?

Hello,
I see that an issue has popped up that pertains to NOT being able to scan.
Please click on the following link that troubleshoots A 'Connection Error' or 'No Computer Detected' Error Message Displays during Scanning.
Please feel free to write back with any additional questions or concerns.
Thank you.

HP Office Jet Pro 8600 Plus 910 n printer driver does not install on a windows server 2008R2 OS

I recently had a new server installed, a Proliant with a Windows Server 2008R2 operating system. I now just discovered that my All in One Office Jet Pro 8600 Plus A 910 will not install on the Windows Server 2008 R2, ïncompatible operating system. Does anybody have a workaround or solution?

Hello dawnp,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with installing the printer on to your Windows 7 computer.
I suggest that we start off by running the HP Print and Scan Doctor. If the Doctor fails, please let me know where it failed as well as any error codes you may see.
Write me back when you have time and I will be happy to help.

I only want my HP Office Jet Pro 8600 Plus to print in black and white

I have an HP Office Jet Pro 8600 plus and I only need it to print out word documents and do not need color. For some reason the printer requires me to refill my yellow ink in order for me to print a document in greyscale. How can I change the settings so this doesn't occur?
