Office Pro 8000: Can't Print/Out of Ink Error even after installing new cartridge.

When I tried to use my printer a few days ago, I received a "Can't Print: Out of Ink" error message concerning the magenta cartridge. I had used the printer a few days before that, and had not received a low ink warning. It seemed suspicious to me that I would have received an empty cartridge error message without first receiving a low cartridge warning. The yellow and cyan cartridges read 70% full - all 3 were original cartridges.
I purchased a new 940XL magenta cartridge and installed it per instructions. Now I am getting a message that the new 940XL cartridge is empty. I can shake the old 940 cartridge and hear liquid inside. Obviously, the new cartridge is also full. I've tried cycling power, reinstalling the software, etc, with no change in status. If I swap back and forth between the old 940 and new 940XL cartridge, they are properly identified by type on my screen as the 940 or 940XL. Due to the way the problem has presented itself, I don't believe it is a cartridge issue.
Of course, problem first arouse on May 8th, and my warrantee expired April 26th. Any suggestions?
This question was solved.

I've solved my own problem, which was clearly a factory assembly defect. I looked inside my printer with a flashlight in the area where the ink cartridges are installed, and found magenta ink sprayed inside the printer. I disassembled the printer, and found that the magenta line had been damaged during assembly. There are four ink tubes which exit from behind the ink cartridges, then make a U turn back toward the front of the printer. Just after the U turn, they make another bend up-wards. It is at this point that I found the damaged magenta line, directly above a screw on the right-hand side of the ink cartridge housing. The lines are in a very narrow passage, and are held in place by several keepers molded out of plastic. It appears that the lines were put in place in the keepers, then the screw inserted from above. As I said, it is a very tight passage, and it would be very easy to damage the ink line at that point if the lines weren't carefully held back to insert the screw during assembly.
To solve the problem, I removed approximately 1/4 inch of damaged magenta ink line. I carefully cut the line with a sharp razor, to prevent collapsing the line or causing burrs to the tubing. I then placed about 3/4" of self-sealing heat shrink tubing over one end of the ink line. Next I spliced the line with a small piece of stiff plastic tubing from the handle of a cotton swab, which was a perfect, snug fit over the ink line. Being careful not to collapse the ink tube or cause further damage, I gently twisted the ink line back and forth until the ends were butted up inside the cotton swab splice. I then positioned the heat-shrink tubing over the splice, and shrunk it with a hair dryer. The heat-shrink tubing I used has hot-melt glue applied to the inside, which further aided in making a leak-proof splice. Again, there is not a lot of room, so the splice had to be kept small.
I reassembled the printer, reinstalled the ink cartridges, and powered up the printer. After the normal, long start-up delay, I printed several full-color test sheets, and all was fine. The magenta cartridge that I had installed previously now shows that it is full, and the remaining cartridges also read the levels that they had prior to disassembly.

The Print Carriage Cannot Move error message

I tried to align printer because my printing output as been off center. However, when I try to run the align printer function, the printer stops after a few seconds and a few strange noises, and displays the error: The Printer Carriage Cannot Move. There is normally a sheet of paper jammed in the back carriage, but after I clear it, and try again, the same thing happens. Strangely, I don't have the paper jam issue when I copy or print (i just have an alignment problem). Why do I continue to have paper jam issues when I try to run the align printer function, but not any other functions?For instance, when I ran the clean printer function, the paper and the test came through very smoothly. What gives? please help. thanks!

1. uninstalled HP from my computer (checked to ensure that my printer was no longer visible in my printers and the HP Utility software was nowhere to be found),
2. grabbed the software/driver update from Aug, 2010,
3. installed the Aug, 2010 update, and my problems seem to have been fixed.
This is where I got my 2010 update from (obviously you should get the driver/software applicable to your OS and specific printer):

HP PSC1610 won't print from internet. Error message says connect computer.

When trying to print from the internet my printer start to accept the paper, but then spits it out with nothing on it. I looked at the help menu and an ERROR message said "no connection; connect computer or install device software. This has never happened in the past until I installed new ink cartridges. I unplugged and disconnected the printer then reconnected, etc. Same problem. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer. Installation successful, showed connection to computer, but failed to print document. The error message is the same. Help! Thanks Xara

Actually this is an addendum to the above. the computer used to send the command to the printer uses Windows XP. When the command is sent the printer goes into warm up mode for 2-3 seconds and I hear the parts moving before it spits the blank paper out and aborts. The printer queue is empty on my XP as if the job was finished. Thanks Xara

HP LaserJet Pro 200 color M251nw Printing Out of Alignment

Images and color text print out of alignment.
The issue started the first day we had the print. It has taken me a while to get into diagnosing it but I have tried the following:
I have tried replacing the toner cartridges with new ones (expensive). The problem occured even with the original starter cartridges.
I have tried a full printer reset.
I have tried leaving the printer unplugged from power for 24 hours.
I have tried several alignment features within the printer menu.
Printing black alone is fine. All other colors do not line up with each other or with the black. Creates a 3D-ish kind of effect.
The printers quality report shows all colors areprinting fine but not aligned to one another.
I have included scans of a part of a rainbow print that illustrates the misalignment as well as the quality report page.
This question was solved.

Thanks for letting me know James_LAG.

Printer will not work: error code 0xc19a0022

Printer will not work: error code 0xc19a0022

Hello citizenED,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are getting the error code " 0xc19a0022 " .
I do have a few steps that we can try.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
I have also located a document that deals with a 'Problem with Printhead,' 'Printer Failure,' 'Ink System Failure,' or a '0x...' or a 'C2...' Error ...
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thanks for your time.

[Solved] CUPS: Unable to write print data: Input/output error

I'm filling this for the benefit of those poor googlers that can reach here.
Symptoms: After trying to print a "complex" image the printer made too much breaks, and failed.
The problem is, it then didn't came up. I mean, I restarted the printer, cupsd, the whole system, and nothing.
I was unable to print again, it showed "Unable to write print data: Input/output error" and refused to print anything.
I then saw that in /etc/cups I had printers.conf and printers.conf.O files, which differed (other than in StateTime), that printers.conf.O had
State Idle
but printers.conf had:
State Stopped
StateMessage Unable to write print data: Input/output error
Reason paused
Probably due to the ErrorPolicy being stop-printer.
So seeing I followed the following steps:
Stop cups
Replace printers.conf with printers.conf.O (I could also had manually edited it)
Start cups
It then went working flawlessly.
There was probably an option in the web interface combobox for doing that. The problem is that I didn't realise it was stopped, so didn't know how to make it work. Moreover, some posts in the web recommended reinstalling the printer (which would skip the problem by creating a new printer).

I think that I had this same problem, and fixed it by reinstalling the printer. Thank you for your post.
