Photosmart c6150 not printing in Win 7

I am running WIndows 7 64 bit and I have installed the latest HP drivers for the Photosmart C6150 and it installs correctly. The HP print test page runs fine in wireless and USB. For some reason any windows based print job goes to the spooler and then diappears without printing. I can't even generate a test page from Printer Properties in Windows. The scan function works fine. Any ideas? I opened up all the TCP and UDP ports. Really strange.
Thanks

Hi @wa7dxq,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your software always fail when using the HP Print and Scan Doctor, with your HP Photosmart c6180, running Windows 7. I am happy to help with this scanning issue!
For further assistance, I will need to know some more information:
If the printer is connected, Wireless, Ethernet, or USB.
If the printer is able to make copies.
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.
In the meantime, I would suggest to try the following:
Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Re-install using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Hope this helps and hope to hear from you soon!

Hi @Mtimmer
I see you are having troubles with your black ink.
Please ensure you have completed all of the steps in the following document; Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages. Although I hope this resolves the issue, it might not. As you have a 6520, If the issue persists, I would suggest calling HP Phone Support even though the printer may be out of warranty as you may require a replacement printer. The number to call HP is 1-800-474-6836 for Canada and US, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
Please let me know if the document resolves the issue, or if you called HP and the outcome of the call. Thanks.

Photosmart 3210 not printing with full black cartridge.

My photosmart 3210 has had 2 new black cartridges installed and the display acknowledges they are full. However, it refuses to print in black. I have cleaned the heads, successfully aligned the printer but black is still missing from anything I print including test pages. All the printer does is print the black bits using a combination of other inks, which usually results in a in a wine colour. Please could somebody help me.

JenBrock...did you ever get a solution? I am having the same problem and have tried all the same troubleshooting options with no sucess. I also tried to calibrate the color and the background color on the grey squares did not print nor did the black numbers that corrispond to each square print. Help please...Anyone?!!!

HP ENVY 5530 will NOT print in win 8.1

New HP ENVY 5530 wireless printer bought 2 days ago. Will NOT print a single document in Windows 8.1. It's scanning perfectly, I can also print from my Android HP eprint App perfectly. The printer is showing as connected and working properly (as evidenced by printing ability from other device).
The printer acknowledges I'm trying to print a Word doc, the printer message box, when clicked, shows me the document has been sent to the printer yet it sits there for about 3 - 4 seconds then ...DISAPPEARS and no document comes out the printer.
I have done everything I can think of....And, looking at the printer properties, it seems to have created its own dedicated Port which shows as "WSD...long number etc" Please help. Thanks!

UPDATE: I am utterly discouraged, frustrated and pretty annoyed now. Windows 8 and 8.1 are obviously the cause ofserious issues with HP ENVY 5530 (and other HP printers!) I have been on the phone since 11/26/13 and spoken to no less than 6 different people, one of which was a supervisor (Jay) at the HP Total Care Tech Support dept. My issue has slowly been escalated to the Lead Stream Dept. which was of no concrete help! I just got off the phone with one of the engineers (name: Sanal, in India) and he could not resolve the issue ater uninstalling, reinstalling and cleaning up the registry, checking the spooler etc etc. His advice was to call my ISP Comcast and get them to change the 'channel' to 11 as the printer works best under channel 11....?!?! WHY? I am not about to include another party to add to my issue! I think I need to take this printer back and buy one that I have researched and know for a fact works perfectly under Win 8.1!!!! I am so angry at this minute! How is this in god's name possible not to have a patch for this APPARENTLY COMMON issue your HP newer model printers are having with win 8 and 8.1??? I was reassured each and every time the issue would be resolved during each and every call I made! No one can resolve the inability of the printer and laptop to communicate. It shows are connected, online, functioning, is set up and installed properly.... it will scan, copy and even print docs from my Android YET NOTHING will print not even a test page from my Acer Laptop which is less than 10 months old!! HP scan doctor cannot figure out what is wrong either. Its test page does not print, yet its INTERNAL test page printed just fine. SMH.....sigh.....

HP Photosmart 6510 not printing black after cartridge cchange

I see the issue of not being able to print in black after a black cartridge change is not new. This is not the first time I have change the black cartridge but it is the first time I had this issue arise. I have followed the various peices of advice and troubleshooting suggested to no avail.
Troubleshooting done thus far:
Remove and reseat black ink cartridge
Run Clean Printer head tool several times...first used printer menu and then a few times using HP tool on PC
Run align print heads several times...first used printer menu and then a few times using HP tool on PC
Black either does not print or is very light, almost illegible. Any other troubleshooting techniques?

For the Photosmart 6510 the troubleshooting steps in the document here may help. Especially make sure the vents are cleared. If that does not resolve the issue then resetting the printer as described in the post here may help. If this does not resolve the issue then read the entire thread here and try requesting reset instructions.

Photosmart D5360 Not Printing

Below is a copy and past of a previous post. Forgive me for posting the same question twice. I didn't know if yesterday's post would be eligible for today's expert advice forum. Here is a small update. I am on my way out to get a new printer cartridge, although I doubt if that is the solution. I really need this printer to work in order to print resumes for my job hunt. If I don't have any luck with the forum, I guess I will have to spend $37 for phone support. I can't really afford it right now, so I've got my fingers crossed and will check back later.
Printer: Photosmart D5360
Model Q8361A
Problem: This happened after I tried to reinstall the printer after not using it for several months. The printer behaves like it is going to print, it says it is printing, but nothing happens. It will print a test page, but not a diagnostic page. It will not print a pdf or anything from MS Word, or Wordpad.
My computer is a Dell Studio 1536 laptop with Vista Home Premium.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled 7 times, so I am sure I am doing it correctly and not connecting the USB too soon. I tried it with another USB from another printer. So I don’t think the cable is defective.
There is no flashing warning message on the front of the printer. No cartridge obstruction, no paper jam.
I have run the diagnostic utility, it detects no problem.
It is selected as the default printer, USB001 virtual printer port for USB.
When I try to print a test page from the Properties dialogue box, it doesn’t work.
Note: I doubt if this is relevant, but I should mention, the black ink is empty, although the cartridge is still in. I didn’t want to buy another cartridge until I find out if the printer can be fixed.

Thanks for trying to help with this Wixma. Here are the results.
I took out the black cartridge and attempted to print a word doc. First the solution center came up and told me the printer was offline. I plugged the USB into another port and it told me the cartridge was not available. Then it proceeded as if to print, but didn’t. The Windows Driver Software Installation popped up and told me it was installing drivers (I don’t know why because they are already installed). Then it tells me it is ready to use. Meanwhile, the printer status says it is printing, but it isn’t. I cancelled the print job, and installed a new black HP #74 cartridge. The printer prompted me to align. I pressed “okay”. When the printer is ready, I attempt to print the doc again, but with the same results. I doubt if the color cartridge is clogged, because I was able to print test pages when I installed it.

Photosmart C309 not printing correctly

I just bought a Photosmart C309 and can't get it to print straight. I changed the paper several times but it does not help.
Does anyone have an answer

What do you mean its not printing straight?

HP Photosmart premium not printing correct colors or contrast on photo paper.

My HP Photosmart Premium does not print correct colors or contrast level on photographs using photo paper. This happens with using most any application and setting the paper type to one of the photo papers... By using MS PhotoAlbum and selecting the photo tray then forcing "regular paper", I can get a somewhat decent print (this trick only works with MS PhotoAlbum). When I setup to any of the "photo paper" types, I do not get correct colors or contrast levels (even if the print preview looks good).
I have the same issue with 8.5 x 11 inch photopaper. Unless I select "regular paper" as the paper type, I get incorrect color and contrast (even if the preview looks good). The ICC "Color Profiles" look to be OK (at least the titles are correct).
Anyone have any ideas?

Try the troubleshooting steps in this page. My bet would be the Photo cartridge (the black with the bow tie symbol) is out of ink. This is only used when photo paper is selected, for plain paper printing the regular black cartridge is used.

Photosmart 2575 - not printing text

Hi, I have just4 inherited a Photosmart 2575 dating back from 2006. I loaded the Drivers from the installation disc only to learn that they were not Win7 compatible so got the compatible ones online and followed the installation as indicated. I need to print a text document and nothing comes out. However, if I print the test page for alignment of the printer head as well as the head cleaning page .... it prints perfectly ( minus the text ). It prints a scanned document perfectly also. However, any WORD document comes out blank. WHY ? I would be extremely grateful if someone could help me please. ....

Try the troubleshooting steps in this document. Does the test page print properly? If so there is an issue with the driver settings. If the test page does not print black I would suggest removing the black cartridge and soaking it nozzles down for five minutes in hot water, then blotting the printhead gently with a damp tissue.

Photosmart 6510 not printing in black

My 6510 recently stopped printing in black. (It is out of warranty.) I have tried most of the ideas posted in this forum, including multiple cartridge cleanings, deep cleanings, and various reboots. As with another poster, when I try to realign, the printer consistently fails after the blue cartridge.
When I did my last couple of test prints, I notice that if I put the text in very large print (72 or bigger), black text will appear in faint grey. Other text on the same page is not visible.
Any more suggestions?

Hi 1979hydepark,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I see you have recently changed the black cartridges on your HP Photosmart 6510 and are not able to print in black. You have cleaned the printhead and also tried the recommedations on the Forums with no success.
I would like you to complete ALL step listed here: Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages, please follow the troubleshooting steps in order, even if you have already previously tried the recommendations.
Let me know the outcome, if you are still not able to print in black ink please reply back with your Country/Region as well as your Warranty Status- Click here to find out
I hope to hear from you soon.
