  • My Laser Jet P1102W is not printing

    Hi,
    My Laser Jet P1102W is not printing. I shut my computer off and then back on. Made sure that the cable of the printer is secure to the back of my computer, but it still does not print. Any other suggestions?

    HP Color LaserJet CP2025  / Windows 7(64bit)-Why the printer does not print color letters??

    Could be a lot of reasons. First try to print a supplies status page- If that prints with color on it, you have a driver problem.

  • My HP Envy 4500 does not print text in black ink

    I bought my printer this summer, it is only 5 months old.
    Now it does not print black ink. Text in black does not appear when printing, every other colors appears.
    I've cleaned printerhead with software installed (HP doctor), but it did not solve the problem...
    I used the CD when I installed the printer/drivers, and I have updatet software when asked by "update manager".
    I have not had this problem earlier, it has just occured last weeks...
    What can be missing here? Can someone help?
    If the printerhead is broken, can I have a replacement sent to me, or can I pick one up at the store I bought the printer?

    Hi @jb-thom69 
    i appreciate the efforts you have made to resolve the issue. At this point, I suggest calling HP.

  • New & Improved 4x6 Premium Plus photo paper does not print as good as older paper

    I am using an HP Photosmart 8250 printer.  I print about 500 to 700 photos per year on the 4x6 Premium Plus photo paper.  When my new order of paper came yesterday I noticed it said new & Improved on the box.  Buy I do not get the same quality of print on the new paper as I did on the old.  The blacks have a dark olive look to it and the colors are not as rich as I got with the old paper.  To make sure my printer was OK I choice a good picture and printed it on both the older paper and the new.  The blacks are black and the colors are rich on the old paper.  The black on the new paper had that olive look and colors were not as nice.  I basically threw all my new prints in the trash.  What has happen to this good paper?  I don't want to have to buy a different printer at the moment, but cannot print my photos on this new paper either.  Help?

    Hi Sabrams49,
    Certain inks work better with certain types of paper. There is nothing wrong with your supplies but unfortunately the paper you are using will always exhibit this problem when used in conjuction with these supplies.
    The Premium Plus Photo Paper works better with much older printing systems than the one you own. HP Advanced Paper is the recommended paper for your photosmart and should not exhibit any smudging problems like the oen you have described.
    This website can be useful if you want to find out information on what paper to use for best results with any given printer or any other info about the paper itself.

  • HP Office Jet Pro 8600- Not printing colors fully

    I have put brand new ink cartrigdes into my printer and when I try to print it will print about 2 inches of good color and then fade out to white for about and inch of no color and then print about 2 inches of good color and fade to white again. So i have stripes of color on the sheet. Anyone have an idea of why it is doing this?
    Thanks,

    Welcome to the forums @JPECompany 
    I would suggest checking out the guide below to troubleshoot the Print Quality issues you're having with your Officejet 8600.
    Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer Series
    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, such as a replacement or trade in. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and if you are calling outside of the US/Canada region,: click here.

  • Hp6110xi all in one printer does not print color

    HP all in one HP 6110xi stop printing in color. This printer is 5 years old and has print color before. I update to the only drive online. Still nothing.

    There is no cartridge expiration on the Officejet 6110 that would cause it to stop printing in color.  The end of warranty date (as shown here) is simply the end of warranty, the cartridge may continue to be used after that date.
    There are a few things to check:  what happens when you select a color copy?  Are there any error messages?  Does the printer go through the motions of printing but with a blank page?

  • Install new version dialogue box always appears but does not install new version

    Whenever I start Muse a new version available dialogue box appears saying a new version is available...click to install.
    When I click to install, a progress bar seems to indicate that the new version is installing. When the progress bar is complete the dialogue box disappears.
    When I start Muse again, the same dialogue box appears. I must click "install later" to open muse. My adobe cloud updater says that Muse is current.
    How can I get the new version, and how can I stop the repeated new update is available dialogue box from appearing whenever I open Muse?

  • Brand New Out Of Box Satellite C655-S5307 Will not turn on , black screen

    I got this http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/satellite/C650/C655-S5307/
    A Toshiba 655-5307 laptop for my sis for Christmas.
    She said she charged the thing overnight and went to turn it on, the green led power light came on I heard fans come on, black screen then shutdown.
     I got this laptop 1300 miles away while I was working out of state thought it would be a great gift.
    Please tell me this is a minor problem and easy to fix

    try to keep turning the laptop on while it has a charge and is unplugged until the battery completely dies and leave it to sit for 5 days unplugged but with the battery inserted.  Dont touch it or try to turn it on while it sits and the batt loses its charge.  Then plug it in and see the orange charging light.  immediately hit the power button.  The pc may try to boot and fail, but it might actually boot for real!  mine did.  I have seen this problem in this particular model posted all around the internet.  But it seems to turn on only if the battery is completely dead.  hmm.  

  • Adobe Reader 9.1.3 fr does not print text, only graphix

    I recently had a problem with windows live hotmail, removed the recently installed adobe reader usin windows removing program to test the problem with no change then reinstalled adobe reader, since i connot print any pdf  file, only the graphix is printed. I have : windows family vista french on a dell 530.

    To clarify my previous post, I had already seen http://forums.adobe.com/message/1770581 .  I mentioned in my post that I get the message "Preview not supported" when I click the Preview button from the print dialog in Adobe Reader, and thus concluded that the "Preview" workaround discussed in that thread wasn't helping me.
    However, re-reading that post, they were talking about using the Mac "Preview" application to print the pdf file.  Like every other application (other than Reader) I have tried, the Mac's Preview application prints just fine, and is another workaround.
    The only program that doesn't print for me is Adobe Reader.
    BTW, I also have an Intel chip in my MacBook Pro.
    Re-installing Leopard, as suggested by one post in that thread, is not a reasonable option for this problem.
    In fact, since Preview allows me to view and print .pdf's , my solution is probably just going to be not to use Adobe Reader.  In fact, had I not been new to the Mac, I would have known that I didn't need Adobe Reader at all.
    However, I'm glad this happened, in the sense that I use CS3 on the PC, and had considered moving to CS4 on the Mac.  However, since Adobe apparently hasn't figured out how to get printing to work on a Mac from their flagship product (!), I will be sure to do a lot of testing of CS4 before considering buying the upgrade.

  • Canon i70 does not print from black cartridge

    I used to be able to print to my usb Canon i70, but now it does not print from the black cartridge. It prints a mixture of CMY to make a greyish color. Not black. The prints look washed out.
    I'm on OSX 10.4.11 (I even upgraded from 10.4.10 to see if it would fix this issue) & on a MacBook Pro.
    I've searched through the discussions and have tried many things, including updating to the newest driver that Canon offers on the i70 & have set my Printer Setup Utility.app to open in Rosetta to actually see & load the driver. Tried to re-install the original driver that came on CD, but then, I don't have access to the utility, and all of the print drivers are "gimp-Print v5.0.0-Beta2", and my model number is not offered. I've tried printing using most of the drivers (I just went down the list starting from 1000 to see if ANY of them would work, but got tired of doing it at 7100. I've also installed 2 new cartridges to ensure that it wasn't just the ink that ran out. Nope.
    When I print documents that have just black text, it prints with the CMY color & not the black. The tell tale sign is when I try to print a nozzle check pattern & the black ink doesn't show at all. Of course, that's only when I have access to the darn printer utilities.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    hehe, yea, looks like the "street value" has gone up since you bought it, Ileen
    "est. street price: $249.99†"
    Anyway, I'm so darned obsessive - I couldn't stop until it was solved. I spent 2 days on this darn thing, and finally came across some help on removing the print head & soaking it. THE BLACK INK WORKS NOW! Yeah!!!
    (For anyone else that has the same problem (and the link above doesn't work), here's how to take the print head off: There's a grey tab at the front of the print head assembly that I had to lift up & it allowed me to remove the print head & soak it in an alcohol solution. (albeit 70% not the recommended 90%)
    The test sheet prints well now. A couple little broken lines, but I'm not complaining now. It prints. I'll probably do a couple more "deep" cleaning cycles to try and fix the rest, but I'm tired now & can finally get some sleep without having to think about what the problem is anymore.
    Thank you PAHU for helping me to determine it wasn't my OS or dual processor setup. You set me on the right path!!! Thanks Ileen for suggesting cleaning the nozzles too

  • My brand new out the box airport extreme won't let anything connect to it.

    My brand new out the box 5th gen (2013) airport extreme won't let anything connect to it. I've tried several setups from sratch by the book. multiple resets and restores still nothing. It just keeps telling mt that the password is in correct even though it is 100% right.
    My curren set up is as follows. Phone Line -> ADSL2+ router -> Airport extreme. There is also an old airport express running of the router, this was done because the airport extremem was failing to work.
    Trying to connect:
    2x iPhone 4s
    2x macbook air
    2x Mac Pro.

    You will want the Extreme to be in bridge mode if it is currently disabled. (see image below)
    This will allow the ADSL2+ router to perform two important functions for your entire network: 1) Provide both the DHCP & NAT services, and 2) Provide PPPoE support to allow access to your ADSL ISPs network.
    If the Extreme is left in its default state, a router, it will conflict with the first item and you will have want is known as a "double NAT" condition. Something you will want to avoid.
