OfficeJet 7610 frequently runs printer maintenance that takes minutes and uses ink

Ever since I got this printer, it has run frequent printer maintenence just about every time I go to print a page. This in itself would not be a total problem aside from the waiting, but it seems to use up ink. I have printed only one color page since I got the new ink cartidges. Every time it does maintenence, it uses more color ink. I am already getting messages saying I need to replace the Cyan. This is rediculous! Is this normal?

Hello @DarinP1965,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand your Officejet 7610 runs printer maintenance and uses ink. I will do my best to assist you! Just to let you know, usually when a printer keeps cleaning the printhead, it indicates something is wrong with your printhead. 
I would recommend following this entire HP document Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality Problems.
Try cleaning the printhead by yourself a couple of levels to see if this makes a difference. If this doesn't help, then you will have to contact HP technical support for further assistance. Click here to find out: HP Worldwide Contact. Good luck.

  • I have 2T imac running lion Can I re-partition and use one half as a back up disk?

    Bought a new mac in November and it is refused to start up yesterday. Spoke with Apple  and they said I should make sure I do regular back ups in case I l ose my hard drive?!?! I did a clean install of the Operating software but was advised to erase and install.
    I have taken all my important stuff off and can reinstall my programs once I get to the next stage so what I am wondering is
    I have 2T imac running lion Can I re-partition and use one half as a back up disk for use with time machine so that I do not have to buy an external HD?
    Cheers J

    You could partition the drive, I read that Time Machine will work on if you HD partition.
    BUT, it will do you no good if you HD fails.
    Usually, if a HD fails it's the entire drive that is dead not just a partition.
    So your time machine back would be on a dead disk, useless!

  • Is there any way that to install and use firefox remotely on centos 6?

    Hello everyone
    i rent a dedicated server that using centos 6...I'm going to browse through the internet with that.can anyone tell me, is there any way that to install and use firefox remotely on centos?
    (just like utorrent server)
    tnx

    Install a proxy server on the centos machine and configure your local Firefox to connect through that proxy.
    If you really want to run Firefox on the centos machine, install a VNC server instead.
    (Obviously, use Google if you don't know what that means ;)

  • TS1398 I have an iPad 2 that is updated and using 6.0.1. It is connecting to my wifi just fine. I just purchased a 4th generation iPad. It shows it is connected to the same wifi, same strong signal, but it will not work. HELP!!!

    I have an iPad 2 that is updated and using 6.0.1. It is connecting to my wifi just fine. I just purchased a 4th generation iPad. It shows it is connected to the same wifi, same strong signal, but it will not work. HELP!!!

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • HP Officejet 7610 keeps saying printer error without a code number

    Tried all the 3 stages of troubleshooting,was also confronted by Another ERROR message in the email that I tried in vain to send to HPsupport because I couldn't remember the product #.This is why I'm forced to go on this page in a last desperate bid to get answers to why my printer won't go any further than this confounded error message on the screen.Also my phone doesn't work so I can't ring them!

    @Mr_Tungsten59 
    Welcome to the forums
    I understand you have tried some troubleshooting for the printer error you're seeing. I am going to give you all of my thoughts and suggestions for this issue.
    A 'Printer Failure' Message That Might Include an '0x610000f6' or '0x61xxxxxx' Error Code Displays o...
    Also: Ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help greatly.
    Removing the ink cartridges.
    Unplugging the printer.
    Dampening a lint free cloth or cotton swab with bottled water.
    Gently cleaning off the electrical contacts from the cartridges.
    Waiting for the contacts to dry.
    Re-seating them back in the printer.
    Plugging the printer back in.
    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.
    Good luck and Happy Friday

  • HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Printer - A809n.says it's out of ink but has new cartridge

    about 6 monhs ago the printer stopped printing stating it was a out of ink (black) after i replaced the cartridge it stopped again after about 10 days. i contacted HP and they basically told me to get a new printer. i decided to try a new cartridge again and reboot etc, etc. it still would work i use my other HP printer before looking to buy another. i read on the internet that this was a frequent problem with the HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Printer - A809n. and it might be an printhead problem. i replaced the printhead and any low  or outdated ink cartridge. the printer worked perfectly for 4 weeks. now i am having the same problem. this sticks. it is leaving a bad taste . i have been a loyal HP user  i feel HP has made a questionable product and is not standing behind it.

    Hi there,
    Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? What operating system are you using?

  • I have an imac G5 with a power PC chip running os 10.5.8.  and using safari 5.0.6. are there any security threats i should be aware of?          s there a

    are there any security concerns using my PPC imac g5 running OS 10.5.8 and using Safari 5.0.6?

    You could use a browser that does not use Flash or Java, as a safety measure when visiting sites; the Safari browser has no support or recent updates. TenFourFox v 24 is fairly good, and uses later Mozilla code, is compatible with powerPC computer limitations. SeaMonkeyPPC has a similar code, but acts a little different; and there still is iCab, a good browser that will run free, but asks you get a $20. license.
    The Safari browser can be used to set a different browser up as system default, so it won't launch and open attachments or web pages; it has a setting in its preferences where you choose another browser as default. As I have four or five browsers and one dedicated to gmail (launched as signed-in, through notifier) that is how I've used the default, otherwise mine are all in the Dock.
    There is no new upgrade for Adobe Flash plugin player, etc; but the one in their site for vintage is still available at getflash player at Adobe. Most prompts online are to get you something else, even adware loads up from some not-so-clever efforts to get people to install junk. So go to the source. Someone wrote a patch that is supposed to allow a later version of Flash player to work in older 10.5.8 PPC Mac, but I have not tried it.
    The thread of security is mostly based on the user and their caution to avoid odd free software and also avoid some sites that try to get people to load cleanmymac or genieo, or other adware malware voluntarily. Those are troublesome and hard to remove, and can waste processor cycles, slow the computer & mess it up. Mostly from a browser the adware issues arise. For those you see The Safe Mac and read up on the adware removal guide, among others linked on the page: http://www.thesafemac.com/arg/
    So anyway, there is really nothing new on the face of it for obsolete OS X systems users.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Why does addressbooksync takes long and using really a lot of ram!?

    When I sync the iPhone with iTunes and look at my activity monitor, it shows that it takes more and more ram to do this. After 5 minutes while sysncing the addressbook only, the amount of ram used is already 6.70 gb! Here a screenshot:
    Why is this? It completely slows down my system.

    It's not a memory leak, see the references to learn more about how RAM is utilized to speed up the Mac.

  • What could run on my iPhone at night and use 17mg???

    While I am sleeping my iPhone is downloading something and using 17 mg data time.   What could run without my knowing it and what could I do to stop it from using data time????   Where would I look to find what is causing this use of data time??  This apparently happens after the iPhone goes to sleep and wi-fi is no longer turned on.

    Mg means milligrams and has nothing to do with a measurement of bandwidth.

  • HP Officejet 8500 continually runs a maintenance check

    My HP Office Jet 8500 is rumming a system check and tells me not to push any buttons or turn it off. Problem is that it has been doing that for 3 days. Can anyone help?

    I would suggest turning it off, and f that does not respond pull the power plug and then wait 30 seconds, reapply power and turn it back on.

  • Facebook won't load properly. Takes forever and then I get a script page with log-in and then that takes forever and gives me further script that won't let me access anything. Other sites load and work OK!

    Started after last auto update several days ago. A few other sites are slow to load while many are good but Facebook just won't present it's usual mix of pre-programmed scripts and links but comes up eventually as part HTML script with a log-in box and when you log-in it then takes forever again and just gives HTML type script for "Friends" "messages" etc. but if you click these it goes nowhere!
    Also it won't let me clear history at all despite many tries. I removed and reloaded the program last night but no positive effect.

    I still haven't resolved this problem. Here is some more information...
    youtube is the only website that has started working, but it sometimes stops working again.
    There are many other sites that don't work, cnn.com, washingtonpost.com (sometimes), and a lot of others.
    I have contacted our internet service provider and they said that they had nothing to do with the problem.
    Some websites will not work at all. Safari tells me that it can't find the server. Some that do this are ups.com, computerworld.com, and others.
    I think that the problem is that, for some reason, our mac computers can't access certain servers where we are. (We are at a small ski resort (on the mountain) in Canada.) I think this because when a site doesn't load properly there are several errors and they are all "can't find host" errors from a couple of the same sites (ex. example.something.something).
    *Also, I ran a test on speedtest.net on the laptop and one of our iMacs and the results were way faster than anything actually loads/downloads or than the activity monitor shows, even when checking the activity monitor at the same time as running the test.

  • HP Officejet 6310xi won't print - keeps blinking "reset power" and all lights flashing.

    I have an HP Officejet 6310xi that won't print.  When you select print, the paper begins to feed then suddenly stops before any printing begins and all lights on the face of the printer begin blinking and the message "RESET POWER" blinks in the screen readout of the printer.  When I turn printer off and back on, the screen indicates a used color cartridge is inserted and I hit OK, then indicates used black cartridge is inserted, then I hit OK, then it says it needs to align cartridges, I hit OK.  After trying to align cartridges, it suddenly stops and goes back to all lights flashing and screen flashing "RESET POWER".   I can hit cancel during cartridge alignment and printer goes to normal ready position.  I can then print a test page.  But as soon as I try to print anything else, even the diagnostics page, it goes back to flashing all lights and "RESET POWER".  I did a semi reset (unplug, wait, plug in holding #6) and a full reset (with #9).  That did nothing except wipe out the date on the screen read out of the printer.   So I know the full reset executed correctly but it did not solve my problem.  Please HELP! I am reposting with email me selected - I'm new at this posting to forums...
