My printer is showing there is an ink problem or printhead is missing

My printer is showing there is an ink problem or printhead is missing or not detected. I've replaced the ink cartridges.

Hello @Mdguz and welcome to the HP Forums!
I can see you're experiencing ink system issues. I would like to try and help.
I would recommend removing the ink cartridges from the printer, 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.
Another suggestion would be to plug the printer power into a different wall outlet.
I would recommend updating your firmware as well:
HP Officejet 6700 Premium e-All-in-One Firmware
I would then suggest utilizing this document on A 'Missing or Failed Printhead' Error Message Displays on the Printer or on the Computer.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

LASERJET PRO 200 COLOR M251nw - new printer acts like there is low ink

This is a brand new printer, has never printed a page correctly. The ink is barely visible like it is out of color, but it shows all is fine. Is there something to clean or an adjustment to fix this?

Hello revlib,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
Turning off the Wireless Direct on the LaserJet Pro 200 color M251nw should have disabled the SSID from broadcasting. Since disabling from the front display did not resolve, let us try from the Embedded Web Server (EWS).
To access the EWS you need to enter the I.P address for the M251nw into the address bar of your web browser. The I.P address can be collected by touching Setup ()> Reports> Network Summary.
Once in the EWS, click Network> Wireless Direct Setup> select Off and Apply.
Let me know if this has help

Can my Pixma MG2920 printer scan if there are no ink cartridges installed?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi elbertf2,
The printer will need to have both ink cartridges installed in order to scan, even if they are low or out of ink. You can disable the ink level detection function of the printer so that you can continue scanning until you are able to replace the ink cartridges. To do this, please press and hold down the STOP/RESET or RESUME/CANCEL button on the printer for at least 7 seconds, then release it. You will need to do this procedure for each ink cartridge that is low or out of ink. Once the ink cartridges are replaced with Canon genuine ink cartridges, the ink level detection function of the printer will be re-enabled.
Hope thie helps!

I can't seem to print in color with my color printer. Is there a setting on the Macbook that needs changed?

How to print in color on Macbook?

Generally this problem can be corrected using the printing utility from the maker of your printer.
However there may be other problems involved. Please post more information on: what you're trying to print, printer brand and model, application you're trying to print from, which MacBook (year, size and OS).

While it is not possible to directly print your iTunes account purchase history within the iTunes Store, you can take a screnshot of your purchase history on your computer, and then print that screenshot.
The following article explains how to review your purchase history:

Is there a recommeded ink jet printer that works best with Yosemite?

I have a new iMac14 with Yosemite. I'm having all kinds of trouble getting it set up including getting my printer (Canon MX 512) to work as it should. Is there a
recommended ink jet printer to use with Yosemite?

According to this, your Canon driver has been updated for Yosemite.
OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download - Apple Support
Try this:
Reset the printing system:

Now, re-Add the printer in Print & Scan prefs.

My HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m printer frequently gives me false "low ink" readings

My HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m printer frequently gives me false "low ink" readings, which wouldn't be a big deal except that unlike other printers I've had, instead of just printing as best it can on low ink, it refuses to print at all.
I know the readings are false:
(a) because I've only recently refilled the ink - (since this started I write down when I refilled the ink and note the number of print jobs, which can be as low as 10 and the false readings can occur) and
(b) my only work around so far is to turn the printer off and on until the false readings stop, it then shows the correct ink levels and does print, but his can often take 5 or 6 times of "off and on." Very annoying.
Questions:
Has anyone else experienced this?
If so, is there a fix?
If no fix, is there a way to change the printer default configuration so it will print anyway -with low ink - instead of simply refusing to print?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

Maybe there is some ink on the connections to the cartridges. This document may help with checking those areas after you installed new cartridges last time:

On the printer driver documentation, Page 5, in the Imaging setting, although the options are not specifically shown, there should be an option on that screen of the print driver to click and select "B/W" or 'black and white' or 'grayscale' or 'monochrome' as Print Mode rather than the "Full Color" option shown in the illustration below.
You access these settings once you have selected 'Print' from an app.
If necessary, you might need to click on the 'Down arrow' button next to the printer name (OS X 10.6), or 'Show Details' button at the bottom of the print dialog box (OS X 10.8) to see additional settings.

Instant ink problem cannot print

Instant Ink Problem cannot print is the error I'm getting with my officejet 4630. It was working fine until now. I have enrolled in the instant ink program. My problem now is somehow my printer is not showing up on my account. it tells me to add a device. Fine, but when I try to add it wants a claim code which I have already used so there is no claim code to print. I couldn't print it anyways for the error " instant ink problem cannot print shows up. How do I add a device now???

Hi Gertiee,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I see that you are unable to print using your HP printer.
Try removing and re-enabling Web Services from your printer’s control panel. Check your printer’s control panel for the Setup or Web icon, and then follow the appropriate instructions to enable Web Services. The steps to remove/enable Web Services vary by HP printer model. For your model:
HP Officejet Removing Web Services: Use Setup > Web Services Setup > Restore Factory Settings to remove Web Services from the printer.
Then re-enable web services on your printer. If the web services info sheet does not automatically print within a few minutes of re-enabling web services, web services has not been fully enabled on your printer. You may need to wait and remove and re-enable web services again in few hours to allow the issues affecting your printer’s communication with the cloud servers to clear up. Until a web services info sheet prints out your web services registration is not complete. Complete the steps below while your printer is connected to the Internet.
Officejet Enable Web Services:
On the printer control panel, touch the Apps icon, touchYes to enable Web Services, touch Yes to Accept Terms of Service, and then touch Yes again for automatic firmware updates. An information sheet prints that has your printer claim code.
On the printer control panel, press theePrint button or icon to open the Web Services
Either select Yes to enable Web Services, select Yes again for automatic updates, and then press the ePrint button again. Or, select Enable Web Services , and then select OK . An information sheet prints that has your printer claim code.
On the printer control panel, touchSetup, and then touch Web Services.
Select Enable Web Services , and then select OK . An information sheet prints that has your printer claim code.
If it continues to not print, see the Web Services connectivity troubleshooting here.

How to make vintage prints slide show one photo at a time?

Does anyone know to program the vintage prints slide show to display only one photo at a time?

The slideshow templates are fixed and can't be changed.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie, on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price: PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Express $199
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here and do not speak for "Apple Inc."
Some basic printer troubleshooting steps before worrying about a printer driver:
1. Have you tried turning the printer off and back on?
2A. Is the printer attached with a cable?
     If yes, have you tried unplugging and re-plugging both ends of the printer cable?
     If that does not help, can you test the printer with another cable?
2B. If your printer is not connected to the computer with a cable, have you tried restarting your printer (assuming wireless connection)?
     Have you tried restarting your wireless router?
3. Have you tried restarting your MacBook? (Be sure to save your work first.)
4. Does the printer have ink? (Doesn't usually generate a 'communications error' though)
5. Have you updated OS X or the program you're trying to print from recently?

Hello @notrevo157,

I would like you to start troubleshooting here: Ink Cartridge Problem: An 'Ink Cartridge Problem,' 'Incompatible Ink Cartridge,' or 'Ink Cartridge F..., I understand you may not be getting this exact error message however these are the steps I would like you to do to try and resolve the issue you are experiencing.
If after the troubleshooting you are still experiencing the issue, I would call our technical support at 800-474-6836 as you may need the setup cartridge replaced. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html

Why does the default Mac print dialog show up in Acrobat?

Instead of the Acrobat print dialog:
The Mac print dialog:
shows up when I invoke the Print command.
Is there a preference that needs to be reset? Sometimes quitting and restarting Acrobat fixes the problem, but I've had computers that have never shown the Adobe print dialog, only the Mac dialog.

according to your illustrations you have two different Printers setup.
Unfortunately, in Acrobat 9 the Page setup Dialog does not function it shows any printer. I've explained here.

IF this is Acrobat 9 - I have sent back bug reports, I've posted in Fedback forum (not discussion Forum) about this as well. I have yet to see an answer to the problem. What you need to do is on the 2nd one that has the different dialog is set that to the same printer as in the first.
IF page setup does work in your version of Acrobat make sure that while in acrobat choose correct printer then in page attributes click and choose save as default. That way acrobat will always default to this setup to start with when opening Acrobat.
Another thing you can try is if you have removed a printer and added a new printer go to Printer Utility, and remove the old printer. If you have added a printer make the new printer the default Printer.
