Hi ALB13,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some printing issues.
Just so you are aware, this could be cause by a lack of power on the printer.
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.
Please feel free to write me back if you have any other questions.
Cheers,

  • Officejet Pro only prints top 1/3 of page

    I'm printing documents by wireless connection but only the top  1/3 of the page is now printing. I started by printing a 5 page pdf document, and the first 3 pages all look ok. The next page only has the top 1/3 of the page printed though and then it looks as if it's run out of ink. I've run a printer status report and that prints off without any problems at all. Scans below. 

    Hello,  Please try the below steps that should resolve the issue. Open the PDF doucument .
    Click on   File > Properties .  Document Properties  will be displayed.
    Under " Document Properties " window, Click on "Security" tab.
    Check if "Printing: Allowed". If it is not probably you will not be able to print.
    Else try the below steps .....
    File > Print . Make sure Your printer is selected, then Click on "Advance " at bottom.
    Make sure "Print as Image " is having check. Click OK . And click on OK again to Print.

    Hello, I have exactly the same problem. I could have written the same text. And I have'nt found solutions. Except, perhaps, change this printer (and quit HP?).
    Any suggestions would be really much appreciated.
    Thank you for your possible responses.

  • C4580 will only print 2 inches of a page in Excel 2007, Vista 64-bit OS

    My C4580 will only print 2 inches of a pages, (the left 2 inches) from Excel & Microsoft works. I've tried updating driver and reinstalling.  It work fine for my other computer which has Windows XP.  Please help.

    Hey Glenn,
    I've encountered this at a client. It caused some issues in that the client was having an un-related problem. I chalked it up to an incompatibility since it was on the server and 64-bit so didn't really pay too much mind to it personally.

  • Officejet 8600 wont print

    I have two laptops connected wirelessly to my Officejet 8600, and it's worked just fine for months.  Now, neither of my computers recognize the printer when I try to print.  When I go in to devices in both, they show the printer as being the default.  One is a PC running Windows 7 Enterprise, and the other is a Mac.  What is going on?

    What is the IP address of the printer, you can get it from the wireless test page. When you say the PC and Mac can recognize the Printer did you try to search the Printer again or it was always there... Looks like the IP address has changed

  • OfficeJet 8600 Plus Printer Wifi not initializing

    My printer has suddenly stopped initializing the WiFi antenna when powered up.  I have not changed any drivers or installed any software that would affect the hardware status.
    The WiFi feature was working two days ago. I keep the printer powered down when not in use.  Power up this morning did not initialize WiFi.

    Hello KPharmer,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand your Officejet 8600 Plus is not connecting to your wireless network. I will do my best to assist you! Have you tried reconnecting the wireless on your printer? If not, please follow these steps: (This information is stated here.)
    On the printer touch screen, touch the Right Arrow ( ) to display the second navigation screen.
    Touch the Setup icon ( ).
    Touch Network , touch Wireless Setup Wizard , and then touch Continue . The printer searches for available networks.
    Touch the name of your network, and then touch OK .
    If prompted, enter the network password, and then touch OK . The printer connects to the network.
    Once you have this setup, I would recommend following this entire HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
    Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

  • I have a used HP Officejet that only prints black

    Hello! I recently bought a used HP Officejet 4500. I am using it as a printer with my MacBook Pro version 10.9.3 and it will only print black. I have combed all through the printing information and cannot find where to change the settings to make it print in both color and black. Also, how do I connect it through the Ethernet? Thank you!

  • When i send a page from a website to my printers email address, it only prints the url not the page

    I have a Photosmart D110 all in one and just bought a Asus Transformer tablet. I`ve downloaded the eprint app and every time I share a page from a website via email to my printers email address it only prints the URL not the actual webpage. Also when I click the share option it gives me the option to share with the eprint app, but when I do it say it can't read or support the file due to paper size not being selected.

  • LaserWriter 630 only prints the vertical lines test page

    I have resurrected a LaserWriter 630 pro that hasn't been used for a year or so, which starts up and the green ready light comes on. When I print to it, the pages come out blank. I have tried printing a simple text file, which was blank, and a one page PDF (simple text also). In the end the PDF took so long to process I cancelled it. Should it take this long?
    The only ink I can get it to leave on the page is the first page of the paperclip-in-hole test page. It then prints a second page which is blank. Any ideas?
    I have a copy of the Apple Printer Utility, and have printed it's font test page, which is blank also.
    Any ideas?
    James

    Dear Grant,
    Thank you for the info, I hadnt found that detail anywhere. I will try it when I get home.
    I think the laserwriter is a great printer, and wouldnt swap it for a brand new one unless it caught fire!
    I gave it to my mother 2 years ago who used it for a while, then bought a colour inkjet and it ended up unused for a year or so. I have just taken it back to replace a much newer but much more irritating colour laser I found at the dump. I believe the last time it was used it worked perfectly. I gave it a new set of rollers about two years ago.
    I am not afraid of a bit of multimeter probing!
    Thanks,
    James

  • After 3.6.8 upgrade both preview and print only prints about a quarter of page in WindowsXP.

    Both Preview Print and actual printing shows the page will be about one quarter of the information on the page. If I use I.E.6 the same page prints full document, as previous version of Firefox 3.6.2 I was running did. Page Setup information does not seem different.
    The printed data is in the upper left hand side quarter of the 8.5x11 sized paper. HP LaserJet 2100 printer is the output device. I can use Thunderbird on the system and print an email to the same printer and it prints as expected, uses full page for printout as Preview also renders.

    Hi,
    First, install the Critical Update below:
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL41827/mp-101648-1/HP_Scan_for_Mac_OS_X_10.7_Update.dmg
    Now change the device settings as following:
    1. Open the HP Utility and select your device.
    2. From Scan Settings open the "Scan to Computer".
    3. Click the "Scan Tasks" tab.
    4. Select the Scan Shortcut used to scan, then click Edit.
    5. In the section of Scan from an HP Device click on the blue triangle to enlarge the menu.
    6. From the enlarged menu now open the drop-down menu next to Crop To and set as None.
    7. Click OK and try scanning.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 only print 1/4th (maybe less) of a page and blows it up...

    Hi!
    A program I work on at work (which is distributed to people selling my employer's products) has trouble printing correctly on an HP Officejet Pro 8600.
    Only part (maybe 1/4th) of the page is printed and is expandeds to fit all the page.
    This program prints flawlessly on everybody else's printers.
    These people don't work for my employer so we have no control over which printer they chose, they each provide their own printer.
    Only the HP Officejet Pro 8600 has trouble printing my employer's program output...
    What could be the cause of that? I assume it could be a driver or setting problem but the person who has that problem keeps on insisting he doesn't have that problem with other programs so if it's a driver problem, it doesn't affect his other programs.
    The output of the program has a lot of pictures, could this be caused by some sort of OOM (Out Of Memory) problem? I know old lasers/led printer used to have a similar problem when their memory was full.
    Any ideas?
    As I said only one person who uses an HP Officejet Pro 8600 has that problem, other printers, both made by HP and other brands don't have that problem...
    Thank you!
    Nick

    Hello Nick-
    Without knowing the customer's operating system, I can only provide a few guidance responses.
    First, have they tried HP's Print and Scan Doctor to see if it can identify any issues? Here's a link to the page, select the OS and you can find the software under Utility - Diagnostic Tools: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=4323659&task=&
    If that doesn't work, you can try reviewing this troubleshooting document for a few steps that might help to reset the settings on the printer: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02866222&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc...
    I hope those suggestions will resolve the issue. Best of luck to you and your customer.

  • Officejet 150 only prints/reads pictures from Flash Drive??!!

    Everytime I try to print something off my flash drive, the printer will only search for pictures.  It doesn't recognize that there are PDF or Word documents on there.  Is there something wrong or can it only read/print pictures from the flash drive.  Same thing happpens when I try it with a SD card.
    Help??!!

    Hi Emmee102,
    The Officejet 150 can only read photo files from the USB flash drive and SD card.
    A couple of workarounds can enable you to print from your ipad to the OJ 150:
    1) convert your pdf/word files into jpeg/jpg format and save to the flash drive/SD card
    2) use print screen from your PC , this is good if you only have a few pages in your document.
    Hope this helps.
