Photosmart 475 with HP 100 grey ink

Hi all,
I wish to print some black and white photos on my 475 printer with the HP 100 grey cartridge, but before I go and purchase the cartridge does anyone have any experience using it?
Do I need my photo to be in black and white/greyscale, print in black and white/greyscale or just leave the settings as they are and just print?
Many thanks for any help

The printer will automatically convert the image to B&W when the HP 100 cartridge is installed. You can leave the settings as they are.

HP Photosmart 5510 will not print Black Ink!! - Time to "break-up" with HP

I came upon this forum by doing a google search for the issue I'm having which is my HP Photosmart 5510 will not print black ink. The printer is a year and a half old and is used only for home office use (not a heck of a lot of printing being done)
It started right after I installed new ink cartridges (all four of them) I want to mention hear that I ONLY buy genuine HP ink cartridges from Staples and when I replace my cartriges I replace all four at the same time even if one ink level is not considered "replaceably" low. When the issue started I thought I must have gotten a bad black cartridge so I went out and bought another one but was still having the issue. So that's when I did my google search.
I tried all the suggestions (several times) on this post (which did not reslove the problem) : http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printing-Issues-Troubleshooting/HP-Photosmart-5510-will-not-print/m-p/1...
and I tried a "Hard Reset" as suggested here (again did not resolve the problem) : http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Ink-Toner-Cartridge-Printhead-Issues/Photosmart-5510-Will-not-print-in-...
After trying all of these my color ink is less than half full....remember....I started with 4 brand new ink cartridges...so now, I'm out roughly $85 in ink just trying to resolve a problem that should not have happened in the first place!! Shame on HP for makeing such poor quality products. I gave up on HP computers years ago and now I'm giving up on their printers!! This HP Photosmart 5510 All In One printer replaced an HP Color Laserjet CM1312nfi printer (which cost approximately $400) that only lasted about 3 years. Sorry HP but that's it....I'm moving on! Consider this our "break-up" letter.

Hi TisKate, sorry to hear that you are having printing issues when it comes to printing in Black. I am also sorry to hear that you are breaking up with HP. I would like to offer a couple more troubleshooting steps before we say our fond farewells. Now this might sound silly but really it isn't. If you have the power cable connected to a Power bar/strip, please remove it and connect the power cable directly to a wall outlet. HP printers already have a built in surge protector and if you have it in a strip/bar, the printer will not get all the power needed to function properly. This can cause printing issues or false error messages on the printer display screen. Here is a document that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
The other step I would like to take is on the printers display touch screen. Please use the right arrow key and go to the Wrench icon. Press the wrench and go to the Tools menu. Once in the Tools menu, please select Clean Printhead. Use the cleaning utility 2-3 times or until you see a change in the print status reports. It might take a few cycles but I am confident that it will make a difference.
I hope you and HP can still be friends( friendly humor).
Thanks for your time.

HP Photosmart B210a will not print black ink on plain paper... only on photo paper.

Hi, I have an HP Photosmart B210a that wont print black ink. I have used a whole set of ink cartridges by cleaning the print heads, allignment etc. I just installed ALL NEW cartridges and the sae thing is ocurring. I have replaced plenty of cartridges and am experienced. Just all of a sudden one day the printer stopped printing black ink on plain paper documents like with MS Word, excel and PDF, etc. It's not set to greyscale either, actually it wont even print grey! However, if I go to a photo with plenty of black in it, it will print it JUST FINE!!! I'm at my wits end! I have followed EVERY head cleaning advice in the forums but it will not print black in except on photos... Please help!!!!

The document here may help, although you have likley already done most of the steps. Be sure to check the vents. If the above does not resolve black not printing on your Photosmart b210a the post here may help.
The black cartridge uses pigmented ink which is not compatible with photo paper. Although the printer appears to be printing black properly on photo paper it is actually using color mixed together to produce black in this case.

Photosmart 475 cuts top of picture off when printing

I have a Photosmart 475 and have not used it very much until now. Whenever I choose a picture(s) to print, on the screen they look fine but when they print the top of the picture is cut off. This has resulted with many heads cut off in the photos. I have it set to borderless printing and am using HP Premium photo paper size 4 x 6; one picture per sheet. I am not zooming in on the picture either. Also, I load the paper as shown in the diagram in the book. Does anybody have any suggestions as to why? Thank you.

I have seen this happen with Avery labels. Are your Margins off when you print from other programs?

Hp photosmart 475, trying to install on my laptop

Hi everyone
I have a Hp photosmart 475 printer that I am trying to install on my laptop. I am running Windows 8.1. The problem I am having is that I downloaded the latest software update which installed the printer fine but it won't connect to the laptop. I think I need the orginal Hp photosmart installation disk for this printer before the new driver will work. I ran the Hp Scan doctor it says the printer is installed by USB but still won't connect. I did some other troubleshooting and it said windows couldn't find avalible driver for this printer. Any help . Could someone me how I could get a copy of the Hp photosmart 475 printer disk. I seemed to have lost the orginal disk that came with the printer when I bought back in 2008.

The last supported OS was Windows XP.

Trying to compare FCP with Media 100 for a Public Access studio

Hi all,
I am new here. I do most of the review of products for our Public Access studio. We have a couple of existing Media 100 systems and we are considering adding or upgrading our NLE capabilities. Our studio manager had a chance to look at FCP being used at our high school and she came back with a number of impressions that I wonder about and would like to vet with people who know more about FCP. So, any comments would be helpful.
The high school media person demo’d FCP for her and let her play with it a bit. After looking at it herself, she says she would definitely say Media 100 is easier to understand/use, especially if you've never used non-linear editing before. That is fairly typical of the people doing Public Access production in our town.
However, it looks to her like there are a lot of tools that come with FCP that Media 100 either doesn't have or are not easily found in it. For example, she feels FCP’s set up looks more complicated and confusing compared to Media 100’s, but in FCP you can have up to 99 video lines in a program, where with Media 100 we're just going back and forth between the a and b video lines. Plus you can have up to 99 Audio tracks on FCP as well, where our max at the moment is 8. Now as to when you would need 99 video or audio tracks, she is not sure, but it is definitely a capability that we don't have in Media 100.
Titling looked easier to her on Media 100. With FCP there were a lot of filters involved and hoops to jump through, plus she couldn't do a word with each letter a different color, for example, unless she did each letter on a different track.
The media person warned her that FCP is really large. Apparently the program itself takes up like 35 GB of space on the hard drive, and a typical 30 min. project comes in at over 100 GB! She couldn't believe it, but she was assured it’s true. Even with our longest programs, like like a School Committee meeting thqat went 3 1/2 hours, it would came in at a max of 30 GB on the Media 100. She got the impression this big difference was so because Final Cut renders everything you do, including rendering any edits you make on your footage as new files, and stores it all in a huge folder. She thinks with Media 100, you import the footage and use it as is - the only things it will render are screen freezes, transitions, and color effects. Is that sort of comparison correct (and fair), or is something being missed?
She says in her experience that something like iMovie is the most basic as far as what you can do, then Ulead would be a step above that- the editing is basically the same, but you have a few more options. Media 100 would be next as far as ease of use and understanding of the program. FCP seemed a little confusing even to her. Comments or insights?
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Welcome to the family, maybe.
I switched from M100 about four years ago, I was never so glad to give that company the boot. A direct comparison just isn't possible but I'll try to answer some questions. There is a Media 100 forum on creativecow.net.
she says she would definitely say Media 100 is easier to understand/use, especially if you've never used non-linear editing before.< </div>
Yes, absolutely, M100 has always had an elegant and refined interface. However, the paradigm in FCP is not opaque. It's far more interesting, deeper, more complex. So, yes, it's a bit tougher to grasp. But don't sell your students/users short. They'll get it.
99 tracks is marketing BS. The serious work is done with nesting. How many public access pieces need more than 5 or 10 video tracks?
Titling in FCP depends on third party filters like Boris or tools like LiveType and Motion. The basic titling tools in FCP are lame and difficult to use, in my opinion, compared to the elegant titler in M100 (as long as you don't launch Graffiti).
The installation includes tens of gigs of animation, movie and music loop resources that you don't need to load. The suite includes Motion, LiveType, Soundtrack Pro, DVD Studio Pro and FCP.
If you're shooting DV, a 3-1/2 hour show is, umm, well, you look it up, DV is DV. But if you're capturing 3 hours from each of three cameras, that's a lot of DV.
Rendering depends on lots of things. M100's native codec handles lots of realtime stuff that FCP can't unless you've got a huge Macintosh. Previewing is not a big deal at lower rez in FCP, you get used to it. .
FCP is really scary. You can look at thousands of "I'm in way over my head, HELP!" posts here. But all those folks find they slip right into the Apple paradigm, the weirdly new workflow and start exploring the wide new world of serious editing that FCP opens up. You'll hate it for a few months because it's so dramatically different from M100. You'll love it, though.
If you want to continue the thread, give the rest of the disaffected former M100 users a few days to post their comments. There are many of us here. Then maybe start a new thread, one question at a time.

I was copying files to my time capsule when it crashed when it was almost finished. Now I am stuck with a light grey folder I can not delete. I would´t care if it wasn´t for the fact the folder is 1 TB size and takes up too much space. I have tried turning on and of Hiding Files in Finder and what not with no success. So, how do I delete this folder. Remember, I am not extremely familiar with technical terms.

I recommend you erase the TC.. it is the easiest and fastest solution.
In Airport utility open the disk tab and select erase.. choose quick erase.. it will take less than 1min.
Start again but copy files in small amounts.

There is a problem with the printer or ink system.

Will not print. Turn it off then back on; will print one document, but not the last page. Try printing only the last page, but will not print. Will not print one page documents at all. Will not print more than one document without repeating this process.
First Error message: "There is a problem with the printer or ink system. Turn the printer off, then on. If you continue to get this message, contact HP." Out of warranty.
Tried this page: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03081973
Which led me to this page: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03262508
Now that the ink cartridges are removed as instructed, the carriage will not return to the center of the access area.

Hey @KennyBee51,
Thanks again for getting back to me regarding this issue.
I would have to agree that the HP Officejets Printhead system is defective. I would recommend at this time that you contact our Technical Support queue by phone to explore additional hardware options.

I connected a digital camera memory chip with approximately 100 photos on it. The photos showed up in iPhoto. I believe I deleted the photos from the memory chip before importing them. Is there any way I can get the photos back?

Go to transaction SE93, enter a transaction code that you want and click on "create". Enter a text and select the "Transaction with Parameters" button. In the Default Values section, enter START_REPORT in the transaction field. Check the "skip initial screen" box. In the Name of Screen field section enter the following lines:
Name of screen field:                               Value

My ipad 3 stuck with a dark grey screen

Firstly hello fellow members,
This is my first time on here and unfortunately its with a problem .
My ipad 3 is stuck with a dark grey screen which looks like 6 equally spaced horizontal lines/bands.
Ive tried holding the buttons down for a reset & restoring in itunes but nether worked and just goes back to the grey screen.
Any help would be great.

Welcome and sorry to hear about your iPad.
I agree with Ralph. If you restored, rebooted.... there is nothing more to try. Take it to an Apple Store and let them have a look.

Catalog Prices with factor 100 in ECO ERP 5.0

Hi together,
We are using ECO ERP 5.0 without IPC and we get our catalog and basket prices from our SAP ECC 5.0 using a TRex.
Now we have the following symptom:
In the web shop all prices, which are shown in the catalog are multiplied with factor 100.
The prices in the SAP Backend transaction wwm2 are correct as well as the prices on the TRex, when we check the values with transaction SRSE.
After sending the order, when the pricing in the backend was done, the prices are correct on the confirm web page.
Any idea where this comes from?
Best regards
Nora

Hi,
I've found the problem. It's a variable (CAT_PRICE_INPUT_LOCALE) with a Locale which is set "hard coded" to US in the class com.sap.isa.backend.r3base.rfc.RFCConstants. That's why all EUR prices, which are shown in the catalog, look like they where multiplied with factor 100.
We overwrite the class PriceCalculatorR3IPC and use now the correct Locale.
Best regards
Nora

Sony A700 with ISO 100

1. The native ISO of the Sony A700 is about 160. Accordingly, ISO 100 is in fact ISO 160 with +2/3 EV exposure bias.
2. ACR adds 0.75 EV "exposure" adjustment to the Sony A700 images. The issue at this point is not this is nonsense, but following this procedure, the adjustment with ISO 100 should be 0.1 EV.
The result is, that the anyway overexposed ISO 100 shots appear hopelessly burnt without further adjustment.
It is worth to note, that the A900 behaves the same way, and look what ACR is doing: +0.35 EV adjustment with all ISOs except 100, and -0.35 EV with ISO 100, i.e. ACR accounts for the ISO difference.
