Photosmart 8150 not printing any documents from new install on WIN7 desktop

Calibration and alignment prints correctly from the printer panel menu but nothing else prints properly. For instance, the Print Test Page command from the printer properties and from the printer diagnostics utility result in a completely blank page kicking out. Tried to print a single page PDF and got the line drawings (all in green...they were black on the PDF) and none of the text. Getting very frustrated. Any ideas?

Photosmart C4280 - not printing any ink

Hello. I am trying to print on my printer and it is acting like it is printing but nothing is appearing on the paper. The thing says there is ink in it and usually when it runs out of ink it tells me it can't print. I do not want to go out and buy new ink if it is the printer that is broken. I have had it for many years and it might be the end. Does anyone know if this is fixable? I am literally just getting blank paper but the paper comes out slowly like its pretending to print.
Thank you!

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @msleila ,
I read your post about your issues with printing and I wanted to respond with my suggestions. Having the printer not print any ink can be tricky when you don't know where the issue is coming from. I am going to make all of the recommendations I have for you.
Print from different programs to see if any program will print. Text Edit is a good choice, as it's preinstalled on the Mac.
In order, try these steps:
Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
Repair disk permissions
Restart the Mac
Follow this guide: OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac
In addition, download this driver: HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X
Try the steps from this guide: Wrong Colors
If the troubleshooting does not help at all, I would lastly suggest technical support.

After upgrading to Lion, preview will not print any documents. When selecting "Print" it just hangs with no show of the printing menu.

After upgrading to LION, preview refuses to print out documents to our Ricoh and Canon printers. All other apps work fine with no problems.
Does anyone have similar experience or an answer to resolving this problems.

I had the same problem when attempting to print to my Canon ImageCLASS multifunction laser printer. Canon have acknowledged the problem by saying:
"Cannot print from Preview or TextEdit; causes applications to crash. For PDF documents, Canon recommends that the free version of Acrobat Reader is used."
They go on to say:
"An updated driver for each model will be released as a permanent solution. The driver will be an official driver to support Mac OS X 10.7. The target release schedule is approximately three months after Lion is officially released."
Source:

I've followed their advice and have been using Adobe Reader for viewing and printing PDFs. I'll revert back to the Preview app once the updated drivers become available.

HP6380 will not print with Windows 7 new install

I have an HP 6380 All-in-one printer. It has never given me any problem when
printing in Vista. We purchased a new laptop for the Wife with Win 7. I
installed the printer on there with no problems.
I then decided to upgrade my laptop to 7 Ultimate. What I did was set my laptop as a dual boot machine and Win7 then became a full install, not upgrade.
When I did network printer discovery, 7 performed a search, found the printer,
and set it up. I did the test page print with success. I could not print
anything past that point and subsequent test pages failed.
I went to the HP web site and found a driver download that was supposed to
include 7 support. The installed printer was removed and I ran the new setup.
Still nothing past the initial test page would print. Further research on the HP
site made reference to a patch and reboot which did not fix the problem. There
was another utility on HP site that removed all installed printer files to allow
a fresh install, no luck.
At this point I decided to compare the printer properties between the Wife's
system and mine. Her system called to a port labeled WSD Port HP38147 (HP
Photosmart 6300 Series).
On mine, the reference was to a TC/IP port with the network address of
192.168.1.102.
I tried to change this to a local port also.
There was NO option for a WSD port, and when I tried to add a port, the only
options were Local or TCP/IP.
For now I am having to save items for printing, then go to my Vista via
dual-boot and print there, a royal PIA.
In Vista BTW the port is labeled Standard TC/IP port HP Photosmart C6300 Series.

Did you delete the printer in Devices and Printers and re-add it?

On my photosmart 7520 I can not print any picture larger than 4x6. what can I do

On my photosmart 7520, which is brand new, I can not print any pictire larger than 4x6. When I place a 5x7 or 8x10 on bottom tray does not pick it up, it picks up from the top tray and it displays wrong paper size. What can I do?

Hi,
I recommend that you open your print preferences and select the paper source as the main tray and set the paper size to whatever size it is you want to print. I don'y have a Vista example but I have included a screen shot from Windows 7 of the options window you're after.

Printer will not print word documents or documents from internet however does a test print

My printer will not print word documents or documents from the internet. However it does complete a test print. I have uninstalled and reinstalled printer. I have disabled and enbled the firewall and have run the test doctor programme, which has been unable to identify any problems. I have a HP deskjet 3050A all in one J611 series printer.

Sorry that you are having a problem with printing word documents and internet.
Are you connected USB or wireless?
You can try to download an alternative driver and check to see if that works. (Shane_R) has a great post on how to do so.
The deskjet 990c is usually the better one.

LR 5.6 on Mac desktop all of a sudden will not read any card from any reader but will work on my laptop. I can work on previous images but not import new ones. Even if I create a catalog on laptop and import to my desktop on a thumb drive, the images are only accessible as long as the thumb drive is inserted.

Sounds like you may need to repair the Disk Permissions on your drive where your images are stored.

I can no longer print any document in PDF format. Not sure why

I can no longer print any document in PDF format. Not sure why? When I try to print, the document saves to my hard drive as a PDF and will not allow me to print? Never had this issue before. Any thoughts?

Print to file is in the main print dialog (on Acrobat 9.x) as opposed to under Advanced

Some paragraph tags are not printing when document is printed from Framemaker 10.

So this is really odd. I have a situation where I have a document that I am developing in Framemaker 10 several different paragraph tags are intermittently not printing when the document is physically printed. When I go to print the document from Framemaker 10 to a physical piece of paper some tags are printing partially or not at all. What makes this stranger to me is that when I print the document to a PDF, all of the content and tags show up in the PDF. Then when I try to physically print from the PDF, the tags do no print from that document as well.
Typically the tags that are not printing are those that have been bolded, but are across several different tags. Also the problem is sometimes only to the first line of a tag, where if the tag carries over to a second line in the document, the text on the second line prints. Another quirky instance that shows up is where the text a line will print only parts of the text. The document uses the same type font for the entire document, Helvetica 55 Roman. The font size varies and the coloring varies as well, but this issue is happening for all sizes and colors.
I'm not sure what additional information is important here, but if you need additional information please request it and I will supply it to the best of my ability. I'm a content developer with an intermediate amount of experience with Framemaker.

I'm not sure if this is the same problem, and you didn't mention your
OS, but there was a widespread problem with dropped text in PDF with
Windows XP. A hotfix was issued to fix it. If on Windows XP, you should
install it:
http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2008/07/hotfix_for_framemaker_1.html
Also, you mentioned that it was "bolded" text that tended to have the
problem. Bolded text is artificially bold and does not use actual bold
fonts. (If I recall, text is double printed at a slight offset to give
the appearance of a bold font.) So there is no bold font to embed. Be
sure you install and use an actual bold font, rather than using the
bolded characteristic, or you could see problems.
This is a stretch, but you also mentioned that some of the problem
sections have colored text. Check the printer properties of your Adobe
PDF virtual printer to make sure someone didn't reassign the driver (on
the Advanced tab). It should be set to use the Adobe PDF Converter
driver (or Acrobat Distiller in older Acrobat versions). Years ago,
people sometimes changed this setting to use other drivers for various
reasons, not realizing that they limited themselves to the capabilities
of that driver. So, if they chose an HP LaserJet PostScript driver, for
example, their documents might no longer be able to be 11"x17" or
color-- because the printer couldn't handle it. The driver was limited
to 8.5"x14" and black-and-white. Perhaps there is a driver set that is
choking on the colored text-- though I would think it would merely
convert it to B&W.
Okay, I've grasped at enough straws.

If you change your Apple ID, all the apps you purchased with the previous ID will no longer updatable for you and this problem will continue. You see your old Apple ID because you are likely still using some of the apps purchased on that ID.

Why can't I print a document from iphone5 to hp wireless printer?

Why can't I print a document from iphone5 to hp wireless printer?

Try the following steps.
Power off the printer.
Reset the phone by holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.
Power cycle your router. Disconnect it from power for about 30 seconds and then power it back on.
Once it has completed the reboot, then power the printer back on and make sure it connects to the wi-fi network
Open the content on the phone that you want to print and attempt printing it again.
If that does not do it, then check to see if there is any newer firmware for the printer from HP.

HP 5510 wil not print in black ink after installing a new black ink cartridge

My HP 5510 printer will not print in black ink after installing an official HP black ink cartridge. I see other people have had the same problem. I have gone through all the troubleshooting suggestions.
I would like to know if anyone has been able to fix this problem. I just spend money on a new XL cartridge. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi @obxgirl,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are running into some print quality issues on your HP Photosmart 5510, you are unable to print in black ink.
I would like you to continue here: Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages, I understand you may have done some of these steps already but I need you to complete all steps in order to resolve the missing black issue you are experiencing.
Please note: There are three printhead cleaning stages. Complete all three stages if necessary. If the printhead is badly clogged, it might require another cleaning cycle. If so, wait 30 minutes after the last (third) cleaning stage to start the first stage of the cleaning process over again.
If you are still unable to print in black ink, I suspect the issue may be the printer and not the cartridge. Please let me know which Country/Region you are in as well as the product Warranty status: HP Warranty Checker
I hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks,

Officejet Pro 8620 will not print old documents, only newly created ones

When I use the driver designed for the printer I can only print documents (Word, Excel, and Publish 2007) that are new, as long as I have not copied and pasted or inserted sheets from previously created documents. It will not print any Outlook 2007 emails but it prints PDF's fine. Also, the printer works fine with driver for deskjet 990c but limits my options on page size and the margin on the right side won't change and are way to big for most of my documents. Any thoughts?

This is very peculiar @bmphr

If that does not resolve the issue, post back and let me know if there are any symbols other than green check marks and what they are next to of course. The wrench is not always easy to spot as the wrench and the check mart are in the green circle.
If you see only green check marks (), the tool did not find any problems.
If you see green wrenches (), the utility identified an issue and corrected it automatically.
If you see yellow exclamation points (), the test failed and required user action, but the step was skipped.
If you see a red X (), follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the issue.
Thanks, I look forward to hearing back from you.

Elements 12, Epson Artisan 1430, "Photoshop can not print this document"

I recently upgraded to Elements 12 and also got a new printer, Epson Artisan 1430. I got some great prints and then one day, it stopped working. Elements error. No error number just a message, "Photoshop can not print this document" I tried restarting the program, the printer, and the computer. No luck. Tried different graphic files; no luck. The printer works with all other programs beautifully. I cannot find help anywhere on Adobe forum. Running Windows 7

John, I deleted the printer and deleted those folders and reinstalled the printer using the printer menu. When I tried the apple software update it said my software was up to date and didn't offer an option to get updated print drivers. I tried printing again and the same thing happened.
Syd,
I am trying to print from the Macbook to the Artisan entirely over a wireless network. The Macbook has not been plugged directly into the printer or to the router at any point in this. I did try what you suggested, resetting the printing system, and as earlier it did not offer any software updates when I looked for one. I tried printing again and the same result.
I dug around some more directories and found some more files with the epson name in there and deleted those and then attempted to reinstall using the printer setup page, and then again tried a software update and again it didn't find any new drivers, and of course the same printing error occurred again.
It sure appears that the MacOS is holding onto drivers somewhere that I cannot discover because when I reinstall the printer it takes it all of 3-4 seconds to install, and when I try to do the software update it is not finding any new drivers anywhere.
Syd, I agree that there seems to be something specifically corrupted about the printer driver itself, however, but is there another way to remove drivers?
Should I try uninstalling everything and attempting a USB installation to see if prints that way?
