Officejet k7100 - Wont print on darker coloured paper

Hi all
I'm hoping for some help. I like playing around and I want to print on some lazer blue paper in greyscale. However, every time I try the printer appears to ignore the fact I have paper in the tray and seems to give an error of 'No paper'. I have tried changing to lighter paper and it works fine, it only darker paper.
Any ideas or suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks, Ethan

Hi,
What you can try is telling the printer you are printing on transparent paper. THis should make the printer ignore the media sensor that checks for paper in the printer.

Hp photosmart plus b210 wont print on dark paper

If I use dark paper the printer will just spit it out and print on the next white page. Is there a setting to allow printing on dark paper?

I am glad I could help. I hope you do not have too many of these to print - while the strips are reusable it could get a bit tiring if there are many to print .

Hp officejet 7110 wont print on 11 x 17 paper

I just boughht a new computer with Windows 8.1. Set up the Officejet 7110 but cant find an option to print on 11 x 17 paper. There was an option on my old computer to print on Tabloid 11 x 17 paper, but it's not listed on the drop down menu now. Any idea's?
Thanks.

Hi @terribletiger
It is odd that the Tabloid 11 x 17 paper is not listed on the drop down menu. Let's remove the printer from the computer and reinstall it using the Printer Install Wizard.
Step 1 Remove the printer;
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
(If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
Tap or click PC and devices.
If you're removing a wired or network device, tap or click Devices. If you're removing a Bluetooth enabled device, tap or click Bluetooth.
Tap or click the device you want to remove, and then tap or click Remove device or Remove.

Officejet pro 8100 prints too dark

Hi I recently bought this hp printer after being delighted with my 3550 which has finally became obsolete.
bad move ! every photo, whether printed on the network , direct print on pc or via eprint, comes out too dark and fuzzy
i have even tried manual colour management as suggested elsewhere on this forum. i found the troubleshooting guide soes not address the issue at all. it ia clearly an issue with hp printes of various types'
some real technical help required pls

Sofar, the selecting/de-selecting of bi-directional has no bearing on it.
When I engage the print dialog is defaults to 10 copies, and I have to manually reset it to 1 copy.
I have no idea where that default comes from, but it does not happen only in word, but in several program, but not in all of them, or so it seems.
Of course, too often I don't remember to reset it, and then there's hell to pay. This is costing me a lot of paper and ink.

Officejet 4620 Wont Print Black

I have an Officejet 4620. I used it 2 days ago to print something and it worked fine. Now all of a sudden, it won;t print anything in black. It also prints things that are supposed to be purple, in pink. I bought all new ink. I aligned everything, and cleaned the heads. My printer is also saying that my ink levels are still low, even though they are brand new cartridges. Can someone PLEASE help!? I am trying to print things for my wedding!

Hi @mcl5187,
I'm sure this has been a frustrating experience for you. I'd like to help. Please begin with the steps in the following document; Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP Deskjet Ink Advantage an...
If you complete, or have already completed all of the steps in the document above and the issue continues, my own personal recommendation, not one of HPs, is to use the solution offered in the following video. I only suggest doing this if the printer is out of warranty; How to fix a HP Printer, not printing black ink and missing colours
Based on the comments, it looks like this will help

I tried most of the suggestions in this thread, but stopped short of disassembling the print head. Nothing worked until I saw the video referenced in Sunshyn2005's message. That did work, but not on my first try. For the second attempt, I left the wet paper towels in place for a couple of hours to really soak the print heads. That did the trick.
So, thank you Sunshyn2005, for pointing me to the solution. - Source
Although the printer might be out of warranty, if the issue persists, HP may be able to offer you something. Maybe they can offer you a discount on an alternate model. If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
If this resolves the issue, please let me know so we can help others who may be experiencing the same issue.

Wont print 12 x 12 paper

I have a HP Large format printer, HP Officejet 7610.
When I first got it I used to be able to print on 12 x 12 paper, that size showed as an option when I went to print.
Well, I didn't try it for a long time, now when I go to print the 12 x 12 size is not an option. How can I fix this so I can print on 12 x 12 paper?

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @taraecanada ,
I read about how you do not see the option to print on 12x12 paper. My suggestion to you, would be to ensure you have the full driver and software installed.
Here is the link to the full driver: HP Officejet 7610 Wide Format e-All-in-One Printer - H912a Drivers
If you still do not see the option, try printing from another program and if the option is still not there, let me know which operating system you are running and I will look into this some more for you!
Have a great day!

Officejet pro 8000 printing wonky on magnetic paper

Hi
I have an Officejet Pro 8000 and have recently bought some Kodak magnetic paper for it. The paper is 650 gsm and although it prints fine it always comes out wonky. Does anyone know if its technically too thick for the printer? Or any other reason why it could be? And does anyone else use magnetic paper, maybe you could recommend another one?
Thanks

Hi,
Consumer inkjet printers do not support a Magnetic media
As you may find by the printer specification, 280 g/m2 is the maximum media weight the printer can handle for Photo Paper, it is definitely not intended to handle such weights..

Officejet 150 wont print full pages in Word

Officejet 150 Mobile misses printing parts of a page of text in Word 2007. I created several lines of text and it simply won't print them all. I then filled an entire page with Ariel, size 11 font. It skipped printing every third line. I repeated this with a larger font and it cut the text, horizontally, along the same width lines. Did the same thing in Corel WordPerfect X4 with the same result. Ditto in Avery Design & Print. It won't print entire 3/4" sections across the page. I've uninstalled drivers/printer, rebooted, etc., several times to no avail. Print Doctor keeps saying device is busy but it's not. No print jobs in que, printer was cycled on and off (several times).

Hey @dmartin05,
Welcome to the HP Support Forum.
I understand your HP Officejet 150 Mobile All-in-One Printer won't print full pages from specific word processing programs. I would like to help.
I recommend you try the following steps so we can determine whether this is most likely a hardware versus software issue:
From the front panel of your printer, make a black copy of an ordinary full-page text document. Does the partial page/print quality issue persist?
Next, touch Setup / Reports/ and Print Quality Diagnostic. How does the Print Quality Diagnostic from your printer compare to the report highlighted in the following link?:
HP Officejet 150 Mobile All-in-One Printer Series (L511) - Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues
If you were able to make a decent copy of a text document, and your Print Quality Diagnostic Report printed without any discernible issues then we can safely assume the issue is software related. If that's the case, please respond to this post and I'll be happy to provide further troubleshooting suggestions.
If you find it's the opposite and there are print quality issues from the front panel, treat this as a hardware issue and follow the troubleshooting steps provided in the above-linked article.
Best of luck - have a great weekend!

My name is Paul,
For some reason I have two computers. One has windows 8 and it prints with my officejet 7500a everytime. But I have a laptop with windows 7 and I have reinstalled the driver like four times. It seems to print at first but later on the status never changes and it never prints, can you help me out?
Thanks and God bless...

Sorry that you are having a problem printing with the Windows 7.
How are you connected to it, USB or wireless?
I may be losing connection.
Try to run the print and scan doctor and check the results.

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 100 wont print color

Hi all,
I've been operating my printer with just the black ink in it for a while by preference, and now that i have returned the tri-color to its slot in the printer, the printer will not print color.
When I try to use utilities it says "previously used cartridge installed: Tri-color"
when I try to print a test page that includes color, it does not print the color
when I try to calibrate the color, it says that "the calibrate color procedure is only available when both the Tri-Color Print Cartridge and the Photo Print Cartridge are installed."
Anyone know what to do? I don't want to buy a new Tri-Color Cartridge if I don't have to because I will be needing to print with only the black cartridge again after this print job.
thanks

@jsartor, Welcome to the forums!

Officejet 7210 wont print on wireless laptop

Ok...my printer and wireless laptop read each other perfectly until I got a virus...took it in ..and after I got home with the computer, it would no longer work with the printer. Printer is plugged in through ethernet cable to wireless router.
Running windows xp home
by the way it works when printer and laptop are hooked up via usb
Thank you for your help..Dave

If you still have the driver loaded you can add it manually:
First, verify that you can browse to the printer's internal web page by its IP address.
1. Click "Start" button --> Printers and Faxes.
2. Under Printer Tasks, click "Add Printer".
3. Click "Next" button on the Add Printer Wizard window.
4. Select "Local printer attached to this computer". Deselect "Automatically detect and install My Plug and play printer". Click "Next".
5. Under Select a Printer Port option, select "Create a new port" and select "Standard TCP/IP Port" and click "Next" button.
6. In the "Welcome to the Add Standard TCP/IP printer port wizard" make sure that the printer is turned on and connected to same network that your computer is connected to. Click "Next" button.
7. Under "Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port" enter the printer's IP address. Click "Next" then click "Finish".
8. Now, select HP from the list of manufacturers, select your printer from the list of Printer models and click 'Next' button.
9. If you can't find your printer, you'll need to find the install CD and use the "Have Disk" option to select one of the hp*.ini files. Alternatively, you can select another HP printer model from the same type.
10. Add the print spooler name and click "Next".
11. Click "Next"
12. Click "Next" and then "Finish"
