OS X 10.4.11 and HP Photosmart C4200 All-in-one

After about a year of everything working fine, the HP Photosmart all in one now only prints. I cannot scan or copy. When I scan or copy, it creates a solid black image.
I reinstalled the drivers from the HP website, but the problems persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks in advance,
stuckyww

"I reinstalled the drivers from the HP website"
Did you repair permissions and restarted your computer after the reinstallation? If so, suggest that you either read the troubleshooting section of the printer's user manual and/or contact HP customer tech support on HP's website.
Have you tried the GIMP drivers?

My printer, hp photosmart c4200 all-in-one is stuck in scan mode

My HP printer--HP Photosmart C4200 All-in-One is stuck in scan mode. I have tried holding start button 60 sec, unplug from power supply, hold while I plug back in with no luck.

Hi @Bungybill,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you cannot copy or scan with your HP Photosmart 3110 on Mac. I am happy to help!
For further assistance, I will need to know:
The version number of the Mac Operating System. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
If you make a copy, and lift the lid, do you see a light come on and the scanner bar move?
Hope to hear from you soon!

Scanning with iMac and C310a photosmart premium all in one

I am trying to Scan a document and It scans just fine but fails when I try to save, print or email the document. It works fine if I only scan one page, I can save, print or email the file. However when I try to do this with a document of more than one page, when I go to save/print/email I get the following error box: "ERROR: An error occurred when saving the file because it couldn to be written to. check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read only." If I hit OK at this point my software hangs up and the only solution is to "Force Quit" the software to get out of the loop.
Yes, I have checked all files and none are read only, and it works fine with single page scans.
I am using the HP Scan utility. When I try to scan using the controls on my printer it works fine but I can only scan single page documents.
I am running Imac with version 10.9.4 software. I have run all software update scans and no updates show. I have tried rebooting the mac and the printer, no change?
Any help is appreciated.
James

Hello James, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing print and scan issues. I would like to try and help.
I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
I would also suggest running your Apple updates: OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
After the updates, I would recommend readding the driver to your system, using this document on OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

CC336A vs CC335A Photosmart Premium All-in-One

Is there any difference between models CC336A and CC335A Photosmart Premium All-in-One?

This is posted in your separate thread:
Hey there. I would try a power reset to fix the issue.
Press the Power button ( ) to turn off the product.
NOTE:The product might not turn off after pressing the Power button. Continue to the next step regardless.
Disconnect the power cord from the back of the product.
Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet, and then wait 30 seconds.
Connect the power cord to the electrical outlet.
Connect the power cord to the back of the product.
Press the Power button ( ) to turn on the product.
If this does not solve the issue then the printer will most likely need to be serviced.Hope this helps!

I have an HP Photosmart 5520 all in one printer and a MacBook Pro. Bought the MacBook Pro in Jan 2013 and the printer in Dec 2012. I was able to print to the wireless printer up until June 2013. In September, when I tried to use them together, I could not print. During the period between June and Sept., my laptop software was updated. I have tried to update the HP software on my laptop, but could not. What can I do to use this printer with my MacBook Pro? Please help!

The MacBook Pro is running at least 10.7.

I have an HP Photosmart C4180 all-in-one, printer, scanner and copier. I can't figure out how to scan more than one page? It will only let me do one page at a time and then I have difficulty sending pages 1, 2 and 3 as one docuement. Any ideas??
Thank you, Jetteski

HP Photosmart Premium All-in-one c310a - How to print in black and white

I want to print a color pdf file in b&w on my HP Photosmart Premium All-in-one c310a printer. When I go to "features" -> color options -> grayscale -> in the drop down box, there is only one choice - "high quality". There's no "black ink only" choice as I have seen in forums on similar printers.

If you have the full feature drivers installed for this printer and there isn't a Black Ink Only option under Print in Grayscale, then this printer lacks the feature. Typically the Black Ink Only options follows the drivers for some deskjets and most officejets, because of the office environments they are intended for. Where as Photosmart printers are more aimed at printing photos.

Photosmart premium all in one and wireless G network

Is the new photosmart premium with built-in Ethernet, WiFi 802.11n backward compatible on b/g wireless network? Will it connect wirelessly to my Linksys WiFi 802.11g network?
Thanks!

Yes, 802.11n devices, including our two new Photosmart Premium All-In-One printers, are compatible with 802.11g wireless networks.
A bit of background: the 802.11n standard that was just recently ratified mandates compatibility with 802.11g and 802.11b networks and devices. You can even mix devices on the same network. For example, you can setup a 802.11n network and connect both 802.11n and 802.11g devices and have the 802.11n devices run at 802.11n speeds.
You could also connect 802.11b devices to your 802.11n network though from a performance point of view, that isn't recommended. The presence of any 802.11b devices in vicinity of 802.11g or 802.11n networks degrades those networks.

Hi Tomiwa,
You cannot print from the iPad to that printer. AirPrint and Bluetooth are completely different.
There may be apps you can buy that will enable using that printer, but that is not an ideal solution.
That particular printer has had many bad reviews, and is unreasonably expensive for its features. Considering that you just bought the printer, as well as its lack of AirPrint, I suggest you return it and buy a printer that supports AirPrint.

HP Photosmart 2610 All in One Printer Paper feeds OK but the software and sensors are a problem

HP Photosmart 2610 All in One Printer Paper feeds OK but the software and sensors are not allowing paper to feed until several steps are taken first.
(I am using Windows 7. I also use the virtual XP mode and mostly MS Office 2003 docs).
I have had this printer for several years and love it. Before I toss it out, I thought I would check if I could get it to work properly before I buy another printer. Note: I did put in a new HP black cartridge (because it was out of ink) but the printer was not working properly for several days before I changed the cartridge. The printer was at step 5 before ink change.
Lately, each time I turn on my printer, I have to go through the same routine
1. The printer wants to align the cartridges so I push OK
2. The paper feeds into the printer and stops at the exact place to start printing.
3. Error message appears that it is out of paper. So I press OK to continue.
4. It says "aligning print cartridges" runs through 2 sheets of blank paper without trying to do anything and then states "cartridge alignment failed" "Press OK to continue"
5. Screen is now normal and it appears it is going to work.
6. It makes no difference if I used the copy function OR when I send a print job from the computer, the paper feeds into the printer and stops at the exact place to start printing but nothing happens.
7. Error message appears that it is out of paper. OR that it is the wrong size paper. I pull the paper that was at the proper place to be printed from the printer and then the error message says "Paper jam. Press OK to continue"
8. I press OK. The printer will then quickly feed in and eject 2 sheets of paper before it will actually start printing the print job. It will work fine after this as long as I print from the same document.
9. If I want to print a different document then I have to start all over again at step 6 to get the printer to work. If I shut the printer off I have to go back to step 1.
What I have already tried
A. Uninstalled and reinstalled the printer driver direct from HP web site. I have done this several times with both the basic driver download and the complete package download.
B. I have done a partial reset by unplugging the printer, and then re-plugging the printer while pushing the "# and 3" buttons while turning on the printer. I have done this several times. Each time it will work fine until I try a different document of turn off the printer.
C. I have downloaded the HP Print and Scan Doctor and used it several times. It states that "everything checks out OK"
D. I have downloaded the HP Hardware Diagnostic Utility 4.0 but it does not work with my printer.
E. I have cleaned all the rollers and blown air throughout to make sure there were no bits of junk in the paper's path or blocking a sensor.
F. I have tried different brands and weights of paper (all 8½ x 11) but nothing works.
Most of the problems started when I added the printer to the virtual machine so I could print XP files. This may just be a coincidence because the printer has the same problems when I use the copy function without the computer being on.
Thanks for looking at my issues. Any help would certainly be appreciated.

I just tried using Notepad as you suggested and had the same result. Paper feeds in stops at proper place and error message "out of paper"
I just put in two new HP ink cartridges because the other two were low and I was told that this might be the problem.
I seem to remember that the HP 2610 shows 2 "ink icons" in the lower left corner. One for black and one for color. The ink icons would change from completly full to just an outline as the amount of ink went down. Currently the black ink icon is missing
This is a very frustrating problem because the printer works great after doing a few steps to get around the problem. The fact that the problem reoccurs any time anything is changed is the major problem
Most of the problems started when I added the printer to the Windows 7 virtual machine so I could work with Windows XP programs. This may just be a coincidence because the printer still has the same problems when I use the copy function without the computer even being on.
I want to thank you for all of your efforts. Perhaps this is a unique problem that will never be solved and it is best to take my losses and buy a new printer. As a last chance, if possible, could you refer my post to someone who is an expert with the HP 2610 printer.

HP Photosmart c7280 All-in-One Mac 10.7.1 (Lion) the "Two-Sided" option is grayed and cannot use?

I have a HP Photosmart c7280 All-in-One printer and a Macbook Air that runs the Lion operating system (10.7.1).
I am trying and needing to print via the "Two-sided" option that appears under the "Layout" pull down tab option, however, the "Two-Sided" option appears to be greyed out as if you are not allowed to use it. I am sure that that is not the case I just do not know how to unlock it yet I guess?
I just made sure that all of my software was up to date and it is currently.
Everything else is perfect about the printer and I have been using it for years, so thank you! I would just like to know what on earth I am doing wrong or need to do to unlock that "Two-sided" setting, so I do not waste a ton of paper! Thanks again!
Sincerely,
DAP413
This question was solved.

Hi DAP413,
In order to actiate the Two-Sided duplex accessory, you have to enable it from the printer settings:
-Enter System Preferences > Print & Scan
-Double click the Photosmart printer name to open the Print Queue.
-Click the Printer Setup button
-Click the Driver tab and make sure the Two-Sided Printing Accessory option is checked.

My photosmart C7250 all-in-one used to allow me to print black and white only, now it won't

My photosmart c7250 all-in-one used to allow me to print in black and white only if I changed properties to print in grayscale, black and white only. Now it says it won't print until I replace one of the empty color cartridges. I do no understand why the color cartridges are running out when I only use my black cartridge.

I still don't understand the difference between what I used to be allowed that I'm not allowed now. I was able to bypass the empty color cartridges by changing my print property to "grayscale" and "black only". Now I'm not allowed to bypass???

Photosmart C5180 all in one not copying and or printing

My Photosmart C5180 all in one-- will not print material from my computer. It will not copy either.
I did a print test from my computer's solution software and a nice picture of 2 pears came out fine
in living color. I did an extended self test diagnostic - 2 pages--and the headings (product information, etc)
printed out fine in black and blue ink---but the info under each heading printed really really light - not readable.
When I try to print from my computer I get a blank page. When I try to copy something it sounds like it
is printing, but the paper is blank. Thanks for the help.

I have a hp photosmart c7280 all in one and i get a message that says "pump motor stalled.

I have an HP photosmart C7280 All in One and I get a message that says pump motor stalled. I have done everything from resetting and turning it off. I have checked to make sure that there is not any paper jam. It makes a clicking sound after it has been reset and then the message "pump motor stalled" pops up. Any suggestions or should I just toss and buy new??? It is only three years old but it is out of warranty.

You might try the suggestions in this post. There is also a post here that reports success.
