Printer problem- on new cartridge- repeats alignment test and later repeats documents

I replaced the black ink cartridge on my HP PSC 1410 All IN ONE. Often it then repeats the alignment test each time, I turn it on. The second problem is that when I print a document and indicate ONE copy, it continues printing multiple copies. Do you know why it does these things or how they can be corrected?
I have had this problem a couple of years now and wasted a lot of ink and paper. Is there some kind soul who knows the solutions?
[text removed for privacy]

The PSC 1410 will print an alignment page after a new cartrdige is installed. If the alignment is not completed the printer will continue to print alignment pages. To complete the alignment place the alignment page on the scanner aligned to the lower left corner and press the scan button as described here.

Officejet 4620 All in one Not printing even with new cartridge

My printer has suddenly stopped printing.
There are no error messages.
My ink level is full.
It slowly started "running" out of ink as I was printing.
New cartridge.
Cleaned printer heads twice.
Ran print quality report and it acted like it was printing but didn't.
Any ideas??

The document here may help resolve black not printing on your Officejet 4620. Be sure to check the vents, if they are blocked the printer will appear to be running out of ink early in the cartridge life.
If the troubleshooting steps there do not resolve the issue I sould suggest you contact HP, 1-800-HPINVENt if you are in the US or see the document here for elsewhere. They may be able to help resolve the issue even if the printer is not in warranty as described in this post.

Help[: Laserjet 1300: Printing blank pages (new cartridge & drivers installed)

Hi All, printer keeps printing blank pages, just bought a new cartridge and even re-installed the drivers- can anyone perhaps advise as to a way to resolve as I am urgently needing to print?

Forgot to mention that I am not getting an error message either, except when I go through the motions of scanning the (blank) alignment page. That error is related to the fact that it is blank though.
Thanks for any assistance.

All of a sudden error message "incompatible printhead" is on my printer, bought two new cartridges..

How do I fix this problem, it isn't the new cartridges, and the printer was working before I replaced the new ink..Please help!!!!!.... very frustrated...

Printing problems with new printer

I printed out two different InDesign documents last week with my ailing Epson R260 inkjet printer and everything printed fine (with the exception of the printer head problems with the R260).
I purchased and installed a new Epson Artisan 50 (which is supposedly the successor to the R260) today, and when I print out the same documents the images and text are reduced in size by about 1/3 and part of the page is not printing. I have made no changes to the InDesign files so I don't understand why I am having this problem. Hope someone can help.

From ID's print dialog, have you entered the Artisan's Advanced Features (the Setup button at the botton of the Print dialog). The doc could be calling up info from the last printers features.
Also, the drivers on that CD could be old, always check for Driver Updates from the manufactures site when installing anything.

Printing problem with new Intel iMac and Indesign CS3

Hi there,
this might not be the right place to ask for, but has anybody here experienced printing problems in Indesign CS3 with Tiger?
I just installed the software and tried to print out of Indesign, but nothing. I can see on the panel that data is beeing received but no printing action. And this is just out of the new Indesing CS3.
Any suggestions?
Best
Rolf

Our office is printing fine from ID & PS CS3. This is from Intel & PPC Mac's running 10.4.9.
What is your printer and how is it configured for printing, ie USB or IP.
Also, have a look at the cups error log. You can find this via System Profiler > Software > Logs. This will show which process is failing for the spooled job. You can post it back here for more help.

Hp deskjet f2180 won't print even when new cartridges are inserted

I require assistance urgently. I have inserted new cartridges into my HP deskjet F2180, but the alert light for the ink keeps blinking, and it won't print at all. Can't even do the maintenance checks such as CLEAN PRINTER HEADS.

Hi , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you're experiencing cartridge issues. I would like to help.
I would recommend removing the ink cartridges, and performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar. I would then recommend utilizing this document on Blinking Lights. Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Print Problems on new Canon Pixma 100 Pro

I have a new canon pixma 100 pro pinter and want to print the best possible prints. Can someone point me to a detailed description of how to print in Aperture including the use of icc profiles (the difference between using icc profiles and printer managed printing, how to turn off color management in a printer driver. Also difference between Relative Colorimetric vs Perceptual settings in the print window. What is black point compensation and what does it do?

You are asking for print management 101, you really should get a book like Jeff Schewe's or a video:

HP posted a workaround for this problem while they were working with Microsoft to get the root cause of the problem, many customers commented that the workaround helped them out and they were able to print. This workaround was not easy to use as the customer needed to add another printer manually and changed drivers.
We can now announce that the problem has been fixed, the problem involved a Microsoft Network component that HP was using to talk to and track the printers on the network. This fix is being rolled out by Microsoft via Windows Update and anyone who has Windows Update enabled and set to automatically install updates should have already received this update. For those that do not have Windows Update setup to automatically install fixes the fix is available now and should be installed.
The details of this fix and a manual method of installing it can be found here.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3000461
This fix is only designed for users that are using there printer on a Network (Wireless or Wired) and will not fix partial printing problems encountered with USB connections.
There are many threads in HPs forums about this issue (below are links to a few of them)

@tenkeypro
First, I would suggest you uninstall the exsisting driver and reinstall following one of these documents to see if it will clear this error message:
Install HP print and scan software on a Windows 8 computer (32-bit and 64-bit)
Universal Print Driver (no scan)
Driver support included in Windows 8 / Windows 8.1 or in Windows Update

Wireless printer problem w new canon driver

I have a Canon Pixma MP980 connected that I access through wireless connections fro two computers. It worked fine until the recent Canon driver update. Now every time I try to print a dialogue box pops up asking if I want to allow incoming connections. It goes away after a few seconds. If I do not move fast and click yes, printing fails because communications between the printer and driver are cut off - at least coming back from the printer. If I do click yes, then it works fine.
I have seen the "allow incoming connections" dialogue when using new programs for the first time, but once I click yes or no, it does not ask again and works appropriately. With the Canon diver, I am asked every time I try to print.
In the security>firewall preferences printer sharing and all Canon entries are set to allow incoming connections.
The computer that does not have the "updated" driver continues to work fine.
Is there a cure or a way to undo the driver update that Software Update just installed? Reinstalling the driver that came with the printer is a real pain that I would like to avoid.

Canon Pixma MX868 Scanning Issues
Interesting, I am using Canon MX868 printer with Driver 10.67.1.0 (latest driver from canon for OSX 10.8.2) and have the same problem. When I initially installed software all worked fine but when I activated the firewall and removed the “Canon IJ Network Scanner” from startup (login) services I started getting the error message
I am not convinced that removing exceptions from firewall will make problem go away (as they are needed for firewall to work and will be added back in by default next time you allow permission). Nb Pahu was not using apple firewall
Anyway here is what I did to cause and then resolve the problem
I updated the driver and software to use Canon MR Navigator Ex 2.1 scanning software. I prefer the canon software as I can scan from printer by pressing buttons with more advanced scanning PDF JPG features (than basic bonjour scaner which creates big files and is clunky to use).
After reviewing above, I removed exceptions from firewall (see below). However every time I restarted the computer or restarted the Canon MR Navigator Ex 2.1 scanning software I still got the "allow incoming connections" window and scanner would not work until I allowed this.
Here are the changes I made to Firewall Settings (the firewall options is under System Preferences / Security & Privacy you will need to press unlock button and use admin password to show firewall options):
- block all incoming connections - not ticked
- automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections (ticked)
- enable stealth mode - unchecked
- I kept then removed all canon utilitiy permissions in firewall (nb if you remove but then "allow incoming connection" the exception will reappear in the firewall exceptions), also if you remove other apps exception permission eg iphoto you will need to add permission back in)
After I had done above and restarted a few times to test (unsuccessfully) I tried adding the Canon IJ Network Scanner app back into the login items (login items under system preferences/ User & Groups). When I restarted it asked for permission once more and from then on the Canon IJ Network Scanner loaded and allowed full scanning from computer and from printer buttons
To add the Canon IJ Network Scanner app to login items, press “+” button then browse to the following file under the Main Library of Mac HD: /Library/Printers/Canon/IJScanner/Utilities. Nb the main library has full range of apps where as the User Library (located under your User profile /Users/[USERNAME]/Library) does not have the “Canon IJ Network Scanner app” (this confused me for a while)
Another way to resolve the problem was to turn the firewall off (but I prefer it on)
After several restarts with Canon IJ Network Scanner running in login items with out problem, I rechecked enable stealth mode and selected “allow applications downloaded from” “,mac store and identified developers” (under General Tab). The scanner and network tool still worked fine with no error messages

HP Officejet 4620 All in One Not Printing Black-BRAND new cartridge

Hello everyone, I am hoping SOMEONE can help me, as this has taken up hours of time and resulted in plenty of frusteration. I just replaced my black ink cartridge, and not a single drop of black ink will print. I have genuine cartridges, and cleaned the print heads, both steps one and two, atleast twice each. In the meantime I have since used up all my color ink, which is still working. But black does not show up AT ALL. Sure, I could buy more color cartridges and use them to print black, but at this point, I do not want to put any more money into this printer if it's not going to work properly. I am desperate for an solution! I run a small business from home and I NEED my printer. My warranty expired a few months ago and am really hoping I don't have to pay for phone support.
Does anyone have any advice on how to get black to print properly?? PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!!
This question was solved.

I suggest you call HP support regardless of warranty as described in the post here. If you are in the US call 1-800-HPINVENt, elsewhere see the contact information here.

Printing Problem in New Page Format

Hi Everybody,
              I have an issue lying long time in my Company.
        Abap person asked me to create a new page format with new page sizing and all. i created it. this is actually for Voucher printing which does not require A4 size. so that i specified specific paper size in that.
     Voucher is Printing in the Specified Size, ok. But, after printing it, the printer automatically Rolls till the end of the paper.(Probably this would have taken A4 by Default)
     the issue is, we need to stop this rolling and we need to make this printing as specified.since it is continuous printing, every time we cant manually rotate the page.(Printer Epson Dot Matrix)
Is this either can be sorted out by ABAP or Basis Person.
   What can be done from Our Basis Side?
Thanks,
Siva

Hi,
How you solved this problem?
I am also facing the same problem.
Thanks in advance

Printer Problems after new Belkin router installed.

Had to get a new router and after installing it, found I could not print wirelessly from my laptop. The router is recognized by the printer and the laptop but when I try to print I get a message that "The printer is not connected." The printer is properly selected on the laptop. The printer is a HP 8500 Wireless. Any ideas would be appreciated. The router is a Belkin 750 and getting technical help from them is fruitless. Their customer support is in India and I have a very hard time communicating with them. I have gone through all the HP troubleshooting steps and did not solve the problem.

Did anyone ever answer you? I'm having a similar issue. It worked great before I went to my new Belkin secure router, now it drops the printer after every single job. I have to turn the printer off and restart. I too, have done all the steps in the HP troubleshooting and Belkin support just *****.
