OfficeJet R60 cartridges won't stay aligned

Hi,
I've had my OfficeJet R60 since 2000 and never had any problems with it, however lately (within the past month or so), the print cartridges keep going out of alignment. I run the Align Cartridges function, and make the best selections I can (sometimes none of the options are aligned well), and sometimes have to 'align' it several times in order for the alignment sheet to look satisfactory. After that, I get maybe one or two good prints and then it's back out of alignment again. I've tried removing and replacing the ink cartridges, cleaning the cartridges, resetting the factory defaults, but nothing seems to solve the problem. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help!
(Don't think it's relevant, but I use Windows XP SP2, the printer is connected via parallel port, and it's on a very sturdy/level surface.)

I have the exact same problem, allmost got used to it but still annoyng. Let me ask you a question...one or all of your cartridge chips are showing that the cartridge is empty(the "?" sign), am I right?. Because from what I gathered with my 8500a plus this seems to be the source of this problem. My printer is quite new so I didnt got to change any cartridge yet and one of my cartridge chips shows "?", and then my printer started to have this problem. First it froze when it jumped out of sleep(could not print anything utill you open/close cartridge/printhead door), then after firmware update they repaired the freeze problem but it still jumps out of sleep mode for no reason.
So am I right that one of your cartridges shows empty-"?" ?

Table Columns Won't Stay Aligned

I'm brand new to forums and discussions, so if there's any advice or info on what to ask, mention, and where to post I'd be very grateful. I'm trying to build a website with Dreamweaver CS5 using a 3 column table. I adjusted the center column to make the overflow scrollable (for the sake of appearance, I wanted to make sure that my nav bar in the left column wasn't continually being disfigured by the pages resizing based on how much content the two columns have). After I adjusted the overflow property, the right column keeps floating way off to the right every time I activate live view mode and when I open it in a browser. I've tried the properties menu for the fixed, static, relative, etc. positioning, and even tried manually coding the coordinates I want the column to be locked at. All three columns are set to fixed size and positions, but I can't make the right column stay put or even keep it inside of the actual table. It actually floats in an area almost at the edge of the page border, well past where the table should end (the table does not appear to resize but I'm not positive). I've checked the obvious things like cell padding and spacing, so far nothing explains what's going on. Any advice?

Your navigation menu bar should NOT be disfigured by the amount of content you insert in your center and left column of the table. The reason it IS being disfigured is that you have set up the table incorrectly. I'll take a guess that you have split your naviagtion cell into the number of rows that your menu bar requires? Bad move as this WILL distort when content is fed into the other columns.
If you really must use tables to lay out your content then DO NOT split and merge table cells. This is the fastest way to the funny farm.
For someone of your ability what you should be doing is inserting another table in the left cell of your first table then split that into the number of rows required for you navigation menu. This method ensures that the cells are NOT linked to the first table and act independently.
Of course for the little more advanced one would NOT even insert another table but just use <p></p> (paragraph) or <a></a> (anchor - link) tags directly in the main tables left column. Again these are independent and will NOT be affected by varing amounts of content in either of the two other table cells.
And for the much more experienced you'd hopefully be using a <div> for construction and <li></li> (list) for the menu

HP Officejet Pro 8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format

HP Officejet Pro 8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format
The scanner scans the document without a problem but when I select 'SAVE' and
specify a location and file name, a system error 'The HP scan application was
unable to save the file to the specified location'. It will save a regular PDF file
or a JPG file with no problem, but trying to save an searchable PDF or .rtf file
results in the above mentioned system error.
This problem occurs either from HP SCAN or from the 8600 scan panel.
The computer is running Windows XP and the I.R.I.S. OCR software is
loaded.

Hello TrailsEnd,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're receiving an error message "The HP scan application was unable to save the file to the specified location". I will do my best to assist you!
First, I would recommend downloading this tool called the Print and Scan Doctor. This tool diagnoses and helps resolve common printing, scanning, and connectivity problems, including: (This information is stated here.)
USB: Verifies that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product is working correctly.
Network: Verifies that the network connection between your computer and your network is working correctly.
Device Status Test : Checks for device errors such as out of paper, paper jams, carriage stalls, and paper feed issues, and then provides instructions for fixing the error.
Driver Check : Checks for missing or corrupt driver files.
Device Manager : Checks for problems in Device Manager that would prevent printing.
Device Online : Checks if the product has been paused or set to offline, and then sets the status back to online if necessary.
Print Queue : Checks for and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a log of print jobs waiting to print).
Port Match : Checks the port settings for the HP product.
Device Conflicts : Checks for conflicts with other drivers, such as other printer brands.
Ink Issues : Checks the cartridges and ink levels for issues that affect print quality.
Print Settings : Checks and adjusts the print quality settings.
Test Print : Prints a test page for print quality evaluation, and provides options for cleaning and aligning the printhead if necessary.
Scan Tests : Checks the scan mechanism, drivers, and registry entries.
Let me know if this tool fixes a scanning problem on this post. If this doesn't resolve your issue, then I am going to recommend uninstalling the software. Please follow this HP document on Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once this is complete, you can perform a clean boot on your computer. I will provide a Microsoft document here to help you. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program. Now, you can install the full feature software from the HP website here.
Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!

1) Padding is only placed on the top and/or bottom of the div. The elements within this div have padding on their sides. This saves you from any "box model math". Keep in mind, if you add any side padding or border to the div itself, it will be added to the width you define to create the *total* width.

It's caused by this CSS rule:
ul, ol, dl { /* Due to variations between browsers, it's best practices to zero padding and margin on lists. For consistency, you can either specify the amounts you want here, or on the list items (LI, DT, DD) they contain. Remember that what you do here will cascade to the .nav list unless you write a more specific selector. */
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
Try adding this to your CSS, adjust values to suit:
.content li {
margin-left: 45px;
padding-left: 25px;
line-height: 1.5;

Lid won't stay closed

The lid on my 15" MBP won't stay closed. It's out of warranty, so I'm looking for something other than "take it to the dealer."

Hi artwar24,
It looks like you are running Panther, so you may be out of warranty. If you are and don't have AppleCare, you might try this little procedure I have used successfully for a few years.
Caveat, this is not for the feint of heart, but with your book at eye level, sight from the side as you slowly close it. This should give you an idea as to which direction the clasp needs to be tweaked. The tension that holds the lid in place tends to tweak it out of alignment over time as it opens and closes.
Sometimes on mine, with the lid almost closed, I’ll hold the bottom portion with one palm on the front center and exert side pressure toward the front with the other palm. This may fix it.
Or, before the clasp catches but after it drops, hold it down with a thin object, like a popsicle stick or Q-tip. This will allow you open the lid back up so that you’ll have some working room. Then with thumb and/or forefinger, apply pressure in the direction you feel it needs to go. After a bit, you will get a feel for it.

Officejet 7612 cartridge stuck

Officejet 7612 Cartridge stuck so carrier won't move. No paper jam. Am suspecting that one of the ink cartridge clicked out ... and is causing the blockage -- ie carrier can't move... No info in manual. No info on website. Telephone support -- over 1 hr 34 minute wait and eventually cancelled the call. I would like HP to stand behind their products. sdcinc

Hello, Is the carriage stuck on far right in the printer ? If yes,Ensure the printer is ON, try moveing the carrriage ( which holds the cartridge ) from right to left slowly. If it does not move, then call HP Tech Support as the printer has to be serviced in this kind of a situation. Please call HP Tech Support for further assistance.

Highlighting text won't stay on

When I highlight text it often won't stay on, and when it does and I try to move the selection, it just beeps at me and sits there. What's up?

Ok. In System Preferences > General, Apple applies the term “Highlight” instead of “Selection” color.
In Pages v5(.2), I select a passage of text and it reflects my first sentence color setting. You can leave this alone and visit any menu or side panel setting, and the selection in the body text will remain selected. It will remain selected, if you leave the Pages document and click in another application. When you return to this Pages document, click anywhere but the body text to regain document focus. The next click in the body text should be a click/hold/drag on the selection to move it, or a press of the space bar to remove the selected text. This is mouse-based behavior.
If you are using a Trackpad, whether built-in or external, you must be very careful not to brush against it while in your Pages document, or your selection focus will be lost.
I am using the above Pages on OS X 10.9.4 and do not experience a loss of selection, or an inability to drag/move or remove the selection. I have tried with both mouse and Trackpad following the preceding guidelines and cannot reproduce what you have stated.

New Pioneer DVR-110 installed, "patchburned", BUT drive won't stay closed.

Have had some good advice on how to intall a new DVD/CD drive, but after installing a New Pioneer DVR-110 (I thought succesfully) on my G4, and downloading Patchburn for Panther, the DVD drive now won't function as the computer keeps ejecting or opening the drive tray.
After installing the drive, I installed Patchburn, and Toast did recognize the drive. I then tried to verify disc permissions on the computer and it kept getting hung up during repair/verify saying it lost connection with the drive manager. Tried Onyx to repair/verify permissions and it too gets hung up. (Had to force quit)
Any advice on how to get the drawer of the DVD drive to stay closed and what else I need to do to get it working?... Alas I can not even reinstall my original OSX software now as I can't boot from the disc drive since it won't stay closed.
Thanks, Rob
G-4 Quicksilver Mac OS X (10.3.9)

You can verify the closeness by opening the empty drive door with the KB and then hold the door open and close drawer with the KB.

My Itunes will not stay open, I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it still won't stay open

My Itunes will not stay open. Everytime I open it it just gives me a wait signal and then closes down on it's own. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it still won't stay open.... what should I do now?

Try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

2. Uninstall antivirus using removal tools (Kapersky)
3. Registry trick as
JSB43211 suggested, backup your registry before perform this
1. Open Regedit as Administrator
2. Find the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\ key.
3. If you are on a 64-Bit machine, browse to the "Windows x64" sub-key (else "Windows NT x86")
4. Under the "Print Processors" sub-key DELETE ALL THE SUB-KEYS EXCEPT "winprint" key
5. Start the Print Spooler service.
6. Test to see if you can Add a printer.

I currently have a DROID RAZR M and I'm 1 year into my 2 year contract. Since the Kitkat update, the phone won't stay charged and it's very buggy. I know this is not Verizons fault but it's also not mine. I would like to change my phone to an iPhone 5s

I currently have a DROID RAZR M and I'm 1 year into my 2 year contract. Since the Kitkat update, the phone won't stay charged and it's very buggy. I know this is not Verizons fault but it's also not mine. I would like to change my phone to an iPhone 5s and keep my same plan but switch to the Edge program. Is this possible? I don't think I should have to pay an early termination fee or anything like that since my phone has become almost unusable. I know under normal circumstances you have to wait 2 yrs to upgrade but due to the update and the poor service I'm now getting I hope Verizon can make an exception. Thank you.

How recently did you switch? If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account. The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices. I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...

IPod Nano won't stay mounted

Hi this is my first post and hope someone can help. My problem is that when I attach my nano to my computer it will mount on the desktop, open iTunes check and see that it is update, which it is and then it umounts from the desktop within a few seconds. It remains in the iTunes window so I can access the nano preferences but then when I hit apply it searches for the nano and since it is not on the desktop says it can not find it. The iPod is not in the finder window but shows up in the system profiler as being attached to the USB. I am up to date on iTunes and the nano updater says it is up to date running 2006-06-28. I have tried everything such as restarting, using different USB ports, etc... to no avail. When I run the updater it stays mounted on the desktop but I can not acces the preferences. I really need to change my nano preferences as it will not update my new playlists because prefs, are set to update only the checked ones and I can not changes this and apply it if the nano won't stay mounted. Can anyone help? Much thanks

This happened to me when using iTunes 6. Is that the version you are using? I was never able to find a complete answer to the "Preferences not saved" error or any knowledge base articles with an official explanation. I did however find a workaround in a previous discussion. Connect your iPod and in the short time that it is still visible on the desktop just as iTunes is opening, go to Preferences>iPod and tick "enable disk use". You have to be quick but it can be done. Once it is enabled you will be able to go back and update the preferences such as manual update etc. and and you'll not get the error.
If you are using iTunes 7 try the same technique only tick "enable disk use" in the Summary tab before your iPod unmounts.

HP Officejet pro 8500 won't print and keeps asking for a proxy setting. Help.

HP Officejet pro 8500 won't print and keeps asking for a proxy setting. Help.

Hi,
Can you confirm that you have an Officejet 8500a or Officejet 8500? On the 8500a model, you can set the networks proxy address and port setting from the front panel of the printer (setup>Webservices setup>proxy). If you are unsure what your proxy settings are you'll need to contact your network admin. If your network uses a proxy users name and password for all devices, you need to enter this information along with the proxy address and port in the printers embedded web server. Type the products IP address into an internet brownser window (printer must be connected to the same network as PC). Select the network tab, and than look for the proxy settings option. Enter in the information and click apply. Once the networks proxy information has been correctly inputed into the embedded web server, try printing again. If unsuccessfully, you might try reinstalling the printer software after uninstalling it. Hope this helps!
