Print out streaked even after the 3 steps cleansing of printhead

Hi,
I keep on doing the 3 steps printheads cleansing since the print out remains streaked or the red is missing.
What if anything can be done before taking to 'a repair' and after the 3 steps printheads cleansing??
Thanks for help
Goradana

Please read this post then provide some details.  What printer model? What operating system?

  • D5160 - printed output streaked, even after cleaning and replacing cartridges

    SYSTEM SETUP:
    1. I purchased my HP Photosmart D5160 over 3 years ago (12/20/06). 
    2. I use only HP ink cartridges (98 for black, 95 for tri-color). 
    3. I print photos on professional glossy inkjet photo paper.
    PRIOR TO PROBLEM:
    1. Until a couple of months ago, I have been printing flawless photos with the setup mentioned above.
    2. Sometimes after installing new HP ink cartridges, a printed photo would print out with streaks.  To resolve this issue, I would "Clean the Print Cartridges" via the "HP Photosmart D5100 series Toolbox" and the photos would then print out flawlessly.
    PROBLEM:
    1. Beginning about two months ago, I am unable to have my photos print out flawlessly.  The photos print out consistently with some streaking.  I use the same paper as I always have.  I purchase the same HP ink cartridges as I always have.
    2. Using the "HP Photosmart D5100 series Toolbox," I clean the print cartridges and do an intermediate clean and then a prime.  Problem still remains.
    3. I then cleaned the print cartridges manually per the following HP doc (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c01711664&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=1155996) but problem still remains.
    4. I then replaced both the black and tri-color ink cartridges and problem still remains.
    QUESTION:
    Is it time to buy a new printer or is there something else I can try?
    Thanks,
    Angela

  • I'm having all kinds of problems since loading Lion and I really wish I hadn't bought it yet. Even after the software update today, 1. my modem still won't work, 2. Photoshop Elements produces muddy photo prints, etc.  Anybody at Apple listening?

    I'm having all kinds of problems since loading Lion and I really wish I hadn't bought it yet. Even after the software update today, 1. my modem still won't work, 2. Photoshop Elements produces muddy photo prints, 3. View preferences in windows don't hold,  etc.  Anybody at Apple listening?  Anybody else out there having these kinds of problems?

    10.7 was horrible unstable so I waited until 10.7.1 and tried it again. Well I have to say that it is still a defective OS. I am reverting to Snow as we speak from my carbon clone copy.. This is really the worst OSX I have ever used. It gives me random Kernel panics for no reasons, unstable airport and hundreds of small issues that are just not necessary. For instance I can't use QuickTime in Lion to trim a videoclip ( the UI goes mad and the trimslider becomes inoperable and hangs the Player window ) while in Snow it is no problem. Itunes gives me crackling sound when the equalizer is turned on, Graphical glitches in Photoshop, games crashing, Preview.app not working with some pdfs, so I need Adobes reader which I never used before.. It is definately not ripe for mass usage. Might 10.7.2 or 10.7.3 fix it, but not yet.
    * and just for the records : the hardware is absoltely ok. Because in Snow it works as it should. ( So many Lion fanbois are talking : "your Ram is defect", defintely NOT. - Lion is defect! ).
    Shame on you Apple.

    Hello, rohan.kishore.patel. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Battery life can be difficult to troubleshoot as multiple factors contribute to how long a charge can last.  Graphic intensive applications, display brightness and data connectivity are just a few of the items that can cause the battery life to decrease rapidly.  I would need to know a little more information about your usage patterns to give you and idea on how to maximize battery life.  However, here are some tips on how to adjust settings and charge the device that may help.

  • HT203167 My iTunes Match does not work, it stops after the first step and won't do anything else!!!

    Hello, I purchased iTunes Match for my new iPhone five and it is intended to move the music from my computer to my other computer, but it stopped working on my MacBook Pro, it stopped after the first step. So, my question is, can iTunes Match work if the iTunes in question has other accounts attached to it, of not, can I get a refund on a service that does not work?

    I am having a similar issue with iTunes Match. It keeps hanging up on the same number of files (11035 of 15455) during STEP 2. I've tried signing out, re-opening iTunes, re-booting, etc. Still comesup stuck for hours. What I also don't understand is why the "iCloud Status" option in "View/View Options" disappears intermittently. It was there when I first booted up this morning and I reviewed all my music files to see if there were any "errors" and there werne't any. But after Match gets stuck on the same file niumber (11035) I 've signed out and re-booted and now the "iCloud Status" check box is missing from "View Options" (only the "iCloud Download" option remains present all the time. Please help. (I've also checked to make sure all the music files are within the suggested bit rate parameters and file type - This is also a brand new iMac out of the box). Running out of troubleshooting ideas and beginning to think this service just doesn't work well.

    but cannot do this because I cannot access Mac App Store
    If you can't access the App Store from the Apple menu, Dock, or Applications folder installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you.
    It's ok to do this even you are already running v10.6.8.

  • How to print out a date from the past

    I am trying to print out a date from the past but I cant seem to get It,
    Lets use for example Independece Day,
    How would you write the code in order to print out that exact date?

    Look at the
    [url=http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/index.html?
    java/util/Date.html]Date APIActually the Calendar class would be better to use, since you can set all the different fields from year to second, plus things like day of week, day of month, week of year, etc.

  • In F110 the payment document is calculating discount even after the

    Hi,
        I am executing F110 and in the proposal list the documents are calculating discount although the payment date is much beyond the discount allowable period.
    For example - We are having a payment term which says if payment is made withing 14 days then 5% discount is allowed and after that no discount.
    But when we execute payment program(F110), it is calculating discount even after the due date. whereas if we pay to any vendor through manually using tranaction code - F-53, it is working fine and calculaing cash discount accordingly.
    But in F110 it in not. Can anybody help me on this.
    Earlist reply will be highly appreciated.
    With regards,
    Sree.

    Hi Dinakar,
                   Firstly i am using a payment term which is having the following condition-
    - Within 14 days 3 % cash discount
    - Within 45 days Due net
    Also i gave the run date, posting date and document date as 04/15/2008.
    The Invoices were gererated on 03/30/2008. So after 14 days it should not calculate discount, but it is calculating that.
    Please let me know if i can help you by providing any other details.
    Regards,
    sree.

  • Look at these bugs even after the .757 update

    With a very large update like that, I thought all the bugs that I was experiencing would be solved.
    However, it is with a frustrated heart that I share to you that all the built in apps bugs that I've experienced in Walkman, Movies, and Contacts app are still here even after the "major" sound bug update.
    Look at this:
    This used to work in 4.3 before. When I search for certain info with Gracenote, I get that error message even though I am connected. This only happens for particular titles like "Thor", "Pacific Rim", and a whole lot of others. It is still very frustrating. Could you try enter those titles and see if you get that kind of error message?
    I recently downloaded the Movies app with the new UI, but again, the bug is still there.
    Here's another one:
    I store a lot of music. And it is a huge annoyance that the "speed scroll" bar at the right side keeps on disappearing. As you may know, the Walkman features a "speed scroll" that looks like a thicker bar that allows you to skip-browse tracks with ease. With 4.4 and the new update, this still hasn't been solved!
    And another one: My Phonebook contacts' photo have been replaced with a SIM card logo. The problem goes away if I do a reboot, but it comes back after a few minutes!
    Please please please do not tell me to do a hard reset, repair via PCC/SUS, or run in safe mode. I've done them all already. As a matter of fact, I have factory wiped and repaired my Z1 a total of 14 times since the 4.4 update.
    Now with the .757 sound bug utpdate, these problems are still here. I know they're nothing really major but they just ruin the aesthetics. I wanted my Z1 to be perfect. It used to be back in 4.3. Now it's just plain crap.
    Has anybody else been experiencing these bugs too? Anyone? Please?

    my phone is still laggy too ! i try clean reset with sus 10 times but nothing changed..bugs and problems still exist

  • Process chain is running even after the 'No Schedule After' date

    Hi Experts,
              On 19th sep, we scheduled a process chain where the scheduled start date is 20th sep, 07:30:00 and no start after date is 22 sep, 00:00:01. The periodic value is 'Daily' and there is no restrictions for this load.
             But yesterday the process chain ran at 7. We checked tbe jobs that triggered and found that the start date and no start after date is changed to 21 and 23 respectively.
            But the last changed date for the process chain is 19th sep only.
            Anyhow, we removed the process chain from schedule. But, I want to know the reason for this load that loaded even after the 'No start after' date.
           Please help me to know why this issue happened...
    Regards,
    Yokesh.

    I also have been caught by this option once : the "do not start after" is here to avoid problems of scheduling : let imagine your system can be stopped, for any reason, so the scheduling will be postponed. In this case, it avoid, for instance, to load data during the day. It's not for running a PC for only a certain period of time.

  • Module status on LMS is showing as incomplete - even after the user has completed the module.

    Hi Folks,
    Hope you are all keeping well! I have a bit of a problem here. On a number of modules that were developed using presenter - and custom animation (including click next to continue) etc etc, the LMS is not showing the module status as complete - even AFTER the user had comleted the module and closed. This problem has been noticed only when the user uses the CLICK NEXT or click this part of the screen to continue.
    When the user navigates using the presenter control buttons - to navigate the training content that is, the LMS is correctly showing as the module has been completed.
    The problem I am having is that - is there any way to make presenter detect a click within a slide (user click to navigate from within a slide) and thereby register it as a valid module completion?
    Thanks in advance folks,
    Kind Regards,
    Alex.

    Hi Shubi,
    Thanks for you quick reply.

    Hi Alex,
    Which LMS server you are using?  Secondly what is the Setting in Quiz>Reporting tab is it SCORM 1.2,2004 or Aicc.
    You want status on basis of user clicks then please make sure that Report data is set to "Slide view =100%" (or whatever precentage you want) and  Report Pass/Fail set to "Complete/ Incomplete."
    Thanks,
    Shubhi
    LMS = cornerstone on demand. It has been customised to suit the company requirements, Reporting tab is SCORM 1.2   
    To circumvent the issue I have changed the % view to 0% so in theory when the user launches even one slide / page - it will set it to report as status complete.
    However this is not a viable solution on content critical modules....dont you think so?
    Ideally I would like to get to the bottom of why a button within the module (which is able to navigate between pages) is not being able to report / set / increment the completion status counter.
    Thanks and Kind Regards,
    Alex.

  • In TCode, EMMA, in ECC 6, even after the jobs are processed, it shows zero.

    Hi,
    The TCode EMMA, monitering mass runs, when it is executed, even after the Jobs have run successfully,it shows as zero in the columns, viz. No. succesful jobs, Proc. Jobs. in the ECC 6 Version.

    Thanks for your response. As told I did, but still I am not getting for the mass bills i.e EA38, EA26 and EA29 but where as the FI-CA related Tcodes, the list shows all the job items, i.e Number of Success, failure and all, and as Ravi said, we need to see the configuration, can you please tell me as where and what has to be done in the settings.
