D110 printer: all lights flash after new ink installed

Need to know how to reboot printer! Have lots of work to do! Thanks!

Hi Joy47,
I see you would like to know how to reboot your D110 printer because all of the lights are flashing since changing the cartridges.
You can try leaving the printer on and unplugging the power cable for 1 full minute. This is called a hard reset.
If the issue persist, please open the following link and select the issue that best describes the symptoms you are experiencing. Errors & lights on the product.
I hope this helps.

NP Officejet H470 - willl not print after new cartridge installed

Changed my black cartridge and now will not print at all. Document shows briefly in printer dialogue box but then disappears. Printer makes a noise like it wants to print but then nothing happens. Printed fine before cartridge change! Any ideas?

I bought a new unit. First thing it would not work. Pause light and start light flashed. finally after much research on HP site and elsewhere I solved it myself!
I found a part loose in the unit! Open the ink door, see a 1/8" +/- diameter rod under the print carriage, look at the right end, there is a white part that should be down and probably should click into place. Mine was up at a 45 degree angle. It went down easily, but did not truly click into the receiving hole, however it was enough that the printer worked!
The left side was down, but yours may bear checking.
HP puts you through all the testing stuff, but fails to rememder that printers are electro-MECHANICAL devices and can fail on the mechanical side.

HP printer 5510 not printing black ink after new cartridges installed

having an issue with the black ink not printing at all..Brand new HP cartridges. cleaned screen with hot water vent is open

Hi 6043kmb,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are running into some print quality issues on your HP Photosmart 5510, you are unable to print in black ink after replacing the cartridge.
I would like you to continue here: Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages, I understand you may have done some of these steps already but I need you to complete all steps in order to resolve the missing black issue you are experiencing.
Please note: There are three printhead cleaning stages. Complete all three stages if necessary. If the printhead is badly clogged, it might require another cleaning cycle. If so, wait 30 minutes after the last (third) cleaning stage to start the first stage of the cleaning process over again.
If you are still unable to print in black ink, I suspect the issue may be the printer and not the cartridge. Please let me know which Country/Region you are in as well as the product Warranty status: HP Warranty Checker
I hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks,
HevnLgh

HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909G - Catridges won't align/new cartridges show low ink level

My 8500 tries to align after new cartridges installed, followed by "alignment failure" message. Initially started when I tried to print simple black type document and it came out blank. I have reset, unplugged, re-installed the cartridges, and still no improvement.

Hello David_W,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with an Alignment error.
I do have some steps that we can take to troubleshoot this issue.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
I have also located a document on An 'Alignment failed' Error Message Displays on the Printer Control Panel.
Please feel free to write me back if you have any other questions or concerns.
Cheers,

HT3917 My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed

My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed.

Do you get a steady green light to say there is a connection. If not, are the batteries the right way round. Do you have a monitor to tell the batteries strength. Is there a reading. Are the batteries good quality ones, Duracell, Energiser or Apple rechargeables.

Problem installing Flash MX04 after new OS install

Hello,
I have just installed WIN XP Pro that came with SP2 on my
notebook. I am trying to install my Studio MX04 suite but when It
gets to flash MX 04, it gets to 95 percent of the install and
shoots an error out.
The error is the following:
Unhandled Exception
Error Number: 0x80040703
Description: Failed to find dll function:
Macromedia_Licensing_Installer.CdaSysInstallEx2
Setup will now terminate.
This message comes after being 95% completed according to the
install progress bar.
Background:
The notebook is a HP Pavilion zd7160us with 512 MB RAM and
2.8 GB Processor
Totally new clean install of Win XP Pro with SP2 (just
purchased)
Legal copy of Studio MX 2004 (just installing again after
wipping the other OS off)
DW, FW, FHMXa, and Extention Manager all installed without a
hitch.
Was installed previously on same notebook with XP home.
I have found other forums where people are having this same
problem but with no resolution to the problem, and all of the
inquiries seem to be linked to SP2.
I would really like it if someone knew why this is happening
and how to fix it.
Thanks,
Bob

I seemed to have solved my issue!
For some reason there was a Flash MX 2004 folder in my
system, there should not have been because I formated the drive
when I installed the new OS. But I deleted that Flash folder as
suggested in another forum and the install went through fine. I am
now downloading the updater 7.02
You can check out the source of the solution here:

Replace Empty Ink Cartridge message flashes after the cartridge has been replaced

Printer is C61P50 All in One.
Has been printing black only, but this morning it said it could not continue unless the empty Magenta cartridge was replaced. I bought a new one, installed it, and still get the same message.
Occasionally I get another about the light blue cartridge ink being expired. That I can clear by hitting OK, but then I am back to being hung up on the supposedly empty magenta which I have already replaced with a brand new one.

Mac Pro refuses to boot after new drive instalation...

Hi
Could anyone shed a bit of light on my problem - Ive just got a new 500gb seagate drive, - when I load it up in order to format, im faced with a blank screen, and os x refuses to even think about booting up - there is also an odd click which Im guessing is the boot drive trying to start.
The new drive slots into place fine, and I made sure I was earthed out before touching it...
When the new drive is taken out, the system starts up without a hitch.
Do I have a duff drive? - or am I missing something blindingly obvious?
Thanks for any help
Maxine.

Hi,
Funny that I saw this message, I am the person that had the exact same problem on the 20th of December.
After trying to install the HD, I had the problem as well. I ended up taking the computer in to my local Apple store, and they kept the Mac Pro.
It is now January 5th and I still do not have the system. Called them an hour ago and they said that the part (they didn't mention what it was) was on BACKORDER, so they had to decide if they were going to wait for the part or give me a brand new system. Hmmmm.... Could this be a NEW hidden problem for the Mac Pro now?
I wanted to purchase an iMac, but was afraid of the lock-up issues. I am starting to regreat my choice and wish I had got an iMac, at least I would have some kind of file server for my network
All I can suggest is to take it in to your local Apple store and let them check it, and then ask if they could fix it right then, or you two could have a system that's not able to be workable.

Time Machine error message after new motherboard installed

Hi folks,
I just had a new motherboard installed on my MacBook Pro, and now whenever Time Machine tries to do a back-up (on the same external drive I'd used previously for Time Machine), I get an error message that says there isn't enough space.
It appears that the attempted back-up tries to back up the entire internal MacBook drive (rather than just the latest updates).
In other words, since the external drive already has the old data on it, attempts at back up fail.
Is there something I need to update? Or, do I need to delete all the data on the external (i.e. Time Machine) drive and let the system do a complete back-up?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.
Vic

You could try the procedure in the article linked below, but I recommend that you first start a new TM backup on another drive. You need more than one backup anyway. I haven't tested the procedure myself and I can't promise that it won't destroy your backup set, even if you do it right.
