Photosmart 2570 paperfeed problem

I've had a Photosmart 2570 since Sept 2006 with no major problems. Recently had a paper jam and after clearing jam the paper now momentarily stops at correct position but then continues to feed through to about half the A4 page and stops. The 'clear paper jam - then press OK' message is displayed even though the paper has not jammed. Pressing the OK button moves the sheet through and another sheet is fed in with the same result.
I have tried the following-
Checked for paper fragments in paper path.
Cleaned rollers.
Changed paper size on print request screen.
Checked for new software and drivers with HP Solution Centre.
Reset printer to factory default settings through printer tools menu.
Did a partial reset.
Did a power reset.
Deleted and reinstalled the printer software on the PC
I think the firmware in the printer may need to be reloaded. Can any one advise how to do this or have any other suggestions.
Thanks

I have exactly the same problem. Printer is also approx 6 years old and out of teh blue started giving the same paper feed issue. If anyone has any ideas I'd be grateful....I've already uninstalled and reinstalled the printer software...thanks

  • HP Photosmart 2570 series fax (via HP Scan Pro) gone

    With the latest Tiger update (Mac OS X 10.4.11 (8S165)) I now do not have the scanning function of my HP Photosmart 2575 alive. I have HP Scan Pro.app version 6.1.4 (13.5.05). The printer is serial number MY62E120B904DY. If I try to start HP Scan Pro it will crash, and if I try to send a scan by pressing on the printer's buttons to any of my two Tiger machines, HP Scan Pro will start and also crash.
    The http server on the printer only gives me previews, then hangs.
    Is there any fix, workaround or update for this problem?
    For Leopard this printer is completely dead.

    I downloaded from [1] the "HP Photosmart Full Feature Software and Drivers - Mac OS X v10.3.9, v10.4 and v10.5" version 9.7 of 10.2007 and it worked! Fax fixed! Thanks you!

  • Follow-up to HP Photosmart C6180 Scan Problem

    I posted the below a few days ago and since then have spoken with a few people who have experienced the same difficulty. We came to the conclusion this problem began after a recent driver update from Apple (sorry we can't remember exactly which one-about a month or so ago we think). Again any comments/suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks!
    Until recently I have been able to scan wirelessly to my iMac G5 using my HP Photosmart C6180 which is equipped with a wireless card. (wireless network being run on Belkin router) However, about 3 weeks ago, every time I try to scan I get an error message saving the scanner cannot be initialized. If I desire to scan, I must connect directly using USB cable and initiate scan from the HP. Any assistance/suggestions will be most welcomed.

    I have been working on this for months and tripped over the solution today - it works on all models * OS's and is network related.
    Fix as follows:
    1. Open HP Device manager program
    2. Select maintain printer form info & settings drop down - this open printer utility
    3. Click open embedded web server
    4. Select Networking tab - from connections menu select wireless
    5. Click advanced button
    6. Go to bottom of page and check ALL "compatibility" check boxes
    I just scanned a 50 page document and so did a friend with same problem with a new all-in-one and windows XP pro - same problem - same fix.

  • HP Photosmart Premium C310 - problem

    Have an HP Photosmart Premium C310 wirelessly connected to HP Pavilion dv6 running 64 bit Windows 7.
    Have had problems printing from Windows Photo viewer. Job is stored in printer queue and computer say information is being sent to printer my nothing happens. Opening up the printer queue dialog box it shows an error but no way of rectifying or fixing problem.
    I don't have this problem printing off word documents or even printing from the HP Photosmart software, just Windows Photo viewer. Have updated drivers, reinstalled and run all diagnostic tools on support site and all or them reports no problems encountered.
    Somewhere something is causing a conflict but not a clue what. Anyone else had similar problem? Any solutions??
    Cheers

    Hi annie47here, and thanks for the reply.
    After reviewing the issue, it's possible you are experiencing printhead failures.  The best recommendation I could make would be to contact HP directly.  You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: Contact HP Worldwide.

  • Photosmart 7520 Cartridge Problem

    Hello.I am having trouble installing replacement cartridges for the Photosmart 7520.  I place them in, locking them in place as I should and keep getting the error "One or more cartridges appear to be missing or damaged".  They are HP cartriges so that is not the problem.  I have taken them out, cleaned the sensors as it says in my troubleshooting guide.  Sometimes when I close the access door it will tell me another cartridge is not working too.  Any help would be appreciated.ThanksTK

    I despair of this problem.  My siimple HP3420 was a model of reliability. I bought the PhotoSmart 7520 in March 2013 and it has been a constant nightmare. I have wasted hours when I should be productive, removing and refitting cartridges, cleaning contacts, wiggling cartridges and surfing the 'net looking for a solution. If I breath near the cartridges they are prone to showing up as 'missing or damaged'. It makes no difference whether I use cripplingly expensive HP cartridges, HP refills or third party cartridges. There is clearly a MAJOR problem with this model and the manner in which it is constructed. Meanwhile my daughter's printer (which I won't name in deference to this being a HP forum) operates smoothly without any problems of this type. It also has a better design allowing straight through paper runs, which makes a big difference when she prints images on thick paper/card, while the HP invariably scuffs the leading edge. I doubt that I will ever buy a HP again after this. For what it is worth I usually get the printer to work again, but can never figure out what did the trick. As I write this magenta is not recognised, I have cleaned contacts, unpligged the cable, removed the print head cradle, and tried several genuine cartridges. On and Off the photo black comes up with the same message, and then it is okay again.  It could be any of them - this seems to be a problem across the machine, not specific to a single cartridge bay, which would suggest a local problem. Meanwhile the machine is totally useless as there is no workaround to allow me to carry on (say with black only printing. Simply dreadful. I greatly resent the time I have wasted over the last two years with this problem.

  • Photosmart c4580 printing problems windows 7

    I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. My HP Photosmart C4580 prints 70% of the document correctly and the other 30% only prints the very top third of the characters on that line.  Any idea for the fix when the printer is only printing what appears to be the "first pass" of the print-head for any given line in a document?

    Hi there,
    To make sure there are no software problems causing this try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
    http://goo.gl/Ujpib
    It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
    Best of Luck!

  • Replacemen​t power cable for Photosmart 2570 Printer

    Hi there, In a recent move I managed to misplace the power cable for my Photosmart printer. Has anyone any ideas on how I can obtain a replacement? HP haven't been helpful, but I feel there must be a way to replace this, rather than have to buy a new printer.

    Hi - I'm not sure that you'll be able to order one through HP, but if you google 0950-4404, you should see a number of options for purchasing the power adapter.
    Hope that helps.

  • Photosmart D5160 weird problem

    The D5160 goes offline randomly.  It also has the power button flash about every 6 seconds but no other lights on or flashing or messages.  I go to the win xp control panel and printers and faxes and it shows as offline,  I click on use it online and it does not go online but after 10 to 15 minutes (almost randomly) it will ding dong on the computer and the printer comes on line.  Then the power button is solid green and the print button is green and it will print.  Then it will randomly go offline again.  Please help me solve this.  I did the latest driver download and installed.  I checked the power cord and wiggled and no issue.  I changed USB cord.   Thanks in advance.  Joe.

    I have exactly the same problem with my printer.  Just refuses to turn on most of the time now.  Regardless of how long you leave it switched off at the power brick (even left it overnight), as soon as you turn the mains power on, power light comes on and then flashes off briefly every 6 seconds.   I can confirm it is definately not the power supply or cartridges at fault as I also have a Photosmart 2575 which uses the same cartridges and power supply and swapping them all around, the fault stays with the printer.  It's also not PC, USB cable or software related as it is just the same without a USB cable connected.  (printer should be able to print direct from a memory card to paper without the use of a PC in any case, but doesn't).. I've also tried pressing all combinations of buttons to wake it up with no success.  If you leave it for a hours it will occasionally wake itself up but not for long.  I did take the opportunity whilst it seemed to be working of printing something but as soon as I sent the print job from the PC, it went back to sleep and didn't even start printing.   I think the printer is faulty and inclined to throw it away unless anyone has any ideas ? 

  • Photosmart 7850 Printing Problem

    My Photosmart 7850 printer - that I dearly love, and need for work - is giving me the flashing red light, and has a small squre looking icon in the error box. I tried the troubleshooting options to no avail. Is it toast? This is the 2nd time this has occured in 2 weeks. The first time, it corrected by unplugging the printer and rebooting the computer (Wndows XP os, btw), but that hasn't worked this time out.

    Problem was due to a bad black ink cartridge.

  • Photosmart b110 paperfeed is 70% not taking a sheet of paper

    I recently bought a Photosmart B110a.
    From the beginning it refuses to take the paper i 'll try to feed it.
    It driving me nuts, I tried a lot of things to solve it, more sheets, less sheets, put it in upside down, blow some air between the sheets before putting them in, what else can I do ?
    Do I need a certain quality of paper ?

    Hi,
    That can be done easily using the Booklet feature of the printer driver.
    Open the PDF in Adobe Reader, then clcik on File > Print.
    Click the Properties button.
    Within the Layout tab check the radio option next to Booklet, you may keep the draw borders box checked or uncheck it as you prefer.

  • Photosmart 7520 print problem

    Printer will either not print from my Mac computer at all or prints very slowly and only partial job.  Owned printer 1-1 1/2 years. First time problem.

    Hi fishbum,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums.  I see that you are having issues printing your Photosmart 7520 printer from your Mac.
    Please follow the steps in the Print Jobs are Stuck in the Print Queue document. There is a section for each operating system.  Please click on your version of Mac to find the steps.  If that doesn’t help you would you please provide some further information:
    How is the printer connected (USB cable or wireless)?
    What version of Mac OS X are you using? Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
    Have you gotten any error messages? If yes, what did the error message say and where was it displayed (printer or computer)?
    Thank you.
