Officejet 4500 prints partial pages

My Officejet 4500 started printing partial pages. I have tried unpluging it, and reloading it. It will not complete an alinement.

Hey @ACHO ,
Thank you for taking the time to post on the HP Forums today! Hope you enjoy the experience.
I understand you are experiencing partial prints from your Officejet 4500. In my experience this means either the top or the bottom of the page is being cut off and not printed.
Here is a document that addresses that issue. Printed Text is Cut Off at the Top or Bottom of the Page
Hope this helps! Have a great day!

OfficeJet 8500 Printer attached to Windows XP system via USB prints partial pages

I have an OfficeJet 8500 printer stationed at the desk of one of my users and is attached to her Windows XP system with a USB cable. The printer has started to print partial pages and will not complete a full page of text or images, color or black and white.
I have attempted to reset the printer by removing power from the printer via the power cord, and holding # and 6 while turning the printer on (after reconnecting the power cord, of course). The alignment process took place after this procedure, but it has not resolved the issue.
I have not yet upgraded the firmware from what was installed at the factory.
What might I do? What am I missing? Do I need to upgrade the installed driver on the system? Is the printer able to be salvaged? It doesn't appear to be hardware, as the portions which print are perfect; I just don't get the entire page.
Thanks in advance,
Rob

The USB to parrallel cable will work just find if you don't mind plugging in the laptop to the printer when required. If you want to modify Win XP to be able to print to an AppleTalk printer follow the instructions below.
"To install AppleTalk protocol to Windows XP
Required files: (Get them from any system running Windows 2000 Professional or Server)
netatlk.inf, sfmatalk.sys, sfmmon.dll, sfmatmsg.dll, sfmwshat.dll, sfmpsprt.dll
If they can not be found you need to unhide hidden and system files.
Copy the files to their respective places:
C:WINDOWS(WINNT)\INF\netatlk.inf
C:WINDOWS(WINNT)\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\sfmatalk.sys
C:WINDOWS(WINNT)\SYSTEM32\sfmatmsg.dll
C:WINDOWS(WINNT)\SYSTEM32\sfmmon.dll
C:WINDOWS(WINNT)\SYSTEM32\sfmwshat.dll
C:WINDOWS(WINNT)\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\PRTPROCS\W32X86\sfmpsprt.dll
AppleTalk Protocol should now be available under the list of Protocols you can add in Network Connections - Local Area Connections Properties
This is only good using AppleTalk printers attached to the network. The AppleTalk printer will show up, if it's turned on, under Add Printer-Local printer attached to this computer - create a new port - AppleTalk Printing devices.
For more info see: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/s agadd_appletalkport.mspx (you do not need to capture the port for the printer to work)
If you can not get access to these files, make your email address visable in your user profile and I will send them to you."

HP Officejet 4500 = Printing problem

Hello,
I have an HP Officejet 4500. When I run a printing test, it prints out fine so it does not appear to be an ink problem or connection issue. But when I try to print out a document from my computer, the paper feeds through but does not print.
Any ideas?

Hi Perplexed99,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I gather that when sending a print job to your Officejet 4500 printer that the printer only prints blank pages.
I’ve included the Troubleshooting Print Quality document. I know you said the test page seemed to print fine but please follow the steps in this document. If that doesn’t assist you, please also Try the HP Print and Scan Doctor for Windows. You can find the download for the Print And Scan Doctor at hp.com/go/tools.

Can't scan as a pdf from my hp officejet 4500 printer
I have windows 7 professional... please help

Hey Patricia Davis,
Firstly, please clarify whether you are trying to use scanner or printer option as both are different.
What exactly are you trying to do with your document? Do you face the same issue with all documents or any specific one?
Is there any error message that prompts on your screen?
Let me know.

Canon Pixma M860 only prints partial pages

Hi,
Thanks in advance for your assistance. I had to take my computer in because of several stalling issues, and had to unhook my printer to do so. It was working fine then. When I plugged it back in, the printer won't work properly; it only prints partial pages. I checked the ink supplies, and they are fine. I cleaned the heads, they too are fine. I tried to open the Solution Menu, but it comes up blank. Can you help? I'd sure appreciate it!

No problems with the response times. I just noticed a huge delay with trying to reply to you and I'm using Firefox.
Okay, to answer the three replies...
Question: after this, how will I know where to go to add my printer queue again? I'm sorry, I don't quite know where/how to do this? Do you mean I just try to print some things again?
I need you to add the printer queue again by opening Print & Fax and clicking the + button under the now empty Printers list. If the printer is connected to the Mac via USB cable then you can select the Default icon and then select the MX860 in the list. This should automatically change the Print Using menu to 'Canon MX860 series'. You can then click Add to complete the printer queue creation.
If the printer is wireless instead of USB then please let me know as the procedure is a bit different to the above.
Also, you mentioned that the Solutions Menu isn't really needed. I had just hoped the troubleshooting button it is supposed to have could be of some use in repairing my printer, but it doesn't sound like it from what you say here? If not, that's okay. Just wondering.
To be honest I've never installed the Solution Menu so I cannot comment on how well the troubleshooting information is. Since I feel I know more than these guides ever provide then I've never felt the need to use them. For you it could be handy but having read other Canon guides I feel that they can confuse the user more than help them...
They just did the Repair Disk thing and it was better for oh, about a minute. I realize that's not the issue we are discussing; I just mentioned it to let you know I'm responding as quick as I'm able, and just in case you think Safari's weirdness might be affecting the printer somehow.
At this stage I would say that Safari is not the problem but the sluggish operation you are noticing when using it could be an indication that something is using resources on your Mac and this could also be impacting the printing. In this situation I would suggest a Mac user to check the Activity Monitor. This will show you every little background service that is currently running on your Mac and one or more of these services could be the culprit. An example would be the previous printer software. With older drivers many vendors install services with their drivers to provide users with information, such as ink status, because the then current OS did not provide them. This is fine when you have that printer connected but when it is removed and you use a different printer, especially from a different vendor, then these services can cause performance issues for the new printer.
Okay, I'm heading home now but I will log in again after dinner to see how you're going...

My deskjet 9800 only prints partial pages

My deskjet 9800 only prints partial pages in 11x17" format. then pulls another paper for two inches of printing then pulls another paper for another two inches of printing etc. Other sizes work fine. I just upgraded my computer and changed cable to a usb port. I downloaded a new driver and reset all the settings. I am lost as what to do. thank you Einer Mortensen

Hello , Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you're experiencing partial print issues when printing from your Windows 8 computer to your HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-One Printer. I would like to assist you today with resolving this wireless printing issue. Because you are able to scan without issues, and are able to print from other devices perfectly fine I do not believe that this is a networking issue, or a software and driver conflict between your Windows computer and your printer. Rather, I believe that there is a wireless printing port (WSD Port) conflict occuring on your computer. Can I please have you follow the steps below to resolve this issue. Microsoft has released a Hotfix to correct printing issues within the Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 Operating Systems. This includes 'Partial Printing' and 'Printer Offline' issues. The printing issues appear to affect networked printers regardless of make or model and is a conflict with the WSD Network Port on Windows 8.1. Please click here to download and run a Microsoft Fix It Tool. Once the website opens for the Hotfix please click the button for 'Hotfix Download Available'. Please follow the onscreen prompts to install the Hotfix. Once the Hotfix has been loaded please test wireless printing again. If printing fails you may need to restart your computer for the Hotfix to take affect. Once your computer comes ON test wireless printing to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. I look forward to hearing from you. Good luck!

Only printing partial pages

I have the Photosmart c4795. I installed it wirelessly and it would only print partial pages. I contacted HP and followed the e-mail instructions to delete and reinstall the software. It is still only printing partial pages. Note that when I reinstalled it I did not install it wirelessly.

I'm having the same problem happens nearly all the time. I am using Picasa on a Macbook Pro and an HP C309A series printer. I'm running Lion OS and the drivers are supposedly incorporated into the OS there are no more firmware updates. We're all current - only started happening after I installed Lion.
I'm NOT IMPRESSED and will look for a NON-HP solution if HP can't come up with a solution!

OfficeJet 4500 printer

My OfficeJet 4500 printer won't print. I have about six print jobs waiting in my queue. My printer pulls a sheet of paper thru the printer (printing nothing), pulls another sheet about 1/2 of the way, then stops. Print button still flashing but won't go any further. HELP!!!

I was printing yesterday (a large print job) 1MAY13 & all of a sudden, before it would print (again), there was a loud clicking sound. I cancelled the print job & gave the printer a rest. I disconnected the printer this morning (2MAY13) & removed both ink cartridges & swabbed out w/ a little alcohol in the trays they reside. Removed the rear door to check for any loose paper, which, I had no jam yesterday. Reconnected everything & powered back on & attempted to align & clean the cartridges, even print somehing. This was unsuccessful & the printer screen kept reading "Aligning cartridges or cleaning cartridges or printing", & there it stayed flashing on what it was doing....It did pull in a sheet of paper & when it returned the paper, it stuck half-way & I had to pull it completely out. I can press the cancel button & it will inform of cancelling, but, it flashes as well. I've not been able to print ANYTHING today & I've constantly powered off the printer, tried to align & clean the cartridges & now, when the cartridge is setting up, there's a knocking sound in behind where the cartridges rest, but, I'm not finding any issues of anything being broken, etc. I even went & downloaded OJ4500vG510g-m_Basic_13_en & still unsuccessful. I have no idea that the problem is because I was very careful in cleaning the trays for the cartridges & the print hed area that the cartridges rests against when installed.

NEW Officejet 4620 prints blank pages!

We got a replacement for a not very old HP Officejet, a new right out of the box, Officejet 4620. It is networked with a Mac desktop and an older Macbook. I installed it yesterday using the ink cartridges it came with, got it networked with both computers, and it worked GREAT -- yesterday. Today it is only printing blank pages from the desktop! Argh! What's going on?

Officejet K80 printing black pages

My Officejet K80 was working perfectly for 3 years and two days ago started printing each page solid black within the margins of the printed page. Holding a printed page up to the light shows that the desired printout is there, but the entire page is printed with black ink within the margins of the page. Tried disconnecting the printer and driver and then reinstalling, but still get each page, including the "Print Test Page" printed with a large black square over the desired printout. The system is Windows Vista, but it was working great so I don't think it's a system issue. Has anyone heard of this problem before and is there an easy fix?

Hi - Try clicking on the Windows icon (lower left), then Devices and Printers, right click on the v40 and click Printer Properties. From there, click the Advanced Tab and click on Print Directly to Printer. I've seen this resolve issues related to printing from the internet.
Hope that helps.
