Printer Wont Print at all. Photosmart C7280.

I have a Photosmart C7280. I printed one day and not the next. It goes through all the motions of printing a page, ie Printheads go across, paper comes out as if printed, but know actual printing.
I have cleaned the heads, checked the levels of ink, and printed test pages to no avail. Can any one help?

Canon printer wont print PDF and Word files... sometimes.

I face a very special problem with my iMac and my Canon printer (Pixma MG5350): Since a few weeks, the printer wont print most PDF files correctly, the same with existing Word files. A blank or blurred sheet is coming out of the machine. But: When I create a brand new Word file and fill it with text, the printer prints it clean and neat. The same with the official Canon test prints – no troubles at all. I have also tried to sort out the problem with the help from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3147?viewlocale=de_DE, without success. Glad about every help!

My next suggestion would be to try an alternate driver to the Canon.
There is the Gutenprint v5.2.9 suite which is free and lists the MG5300 series as a supported model. You could download and install this driver suite and add the Gutenprint MG5300 driver and see if this gives you the same problem.

HP ENVY 4500 Printer Windows 10 printer wont print

I have a HP ENVY 4500 all in one printer. I did the windows 10 inplace upgrade.Now th printer wont print. I dont think this is a driver issue.I get an error saying the printer is off line. My WIFI is connected and working great.When I look at internet connections in my area My printer shows up on that list,and ask for a security code. I think it asking for a password for the printer.I have never set one up. (FYI) I had been using this printer with Windows 8.1 andIt worked great before the windows 10 upgrade. Do I need to set up a password for this printerTo make it work. By the way This computer is a Dell Insperon about a year and a half old.I need to print Please Help.Thank youEarl

I managed to fix this issue by myself.
After hours of trying everything HP suggested on other forums with no avail I simply turned everything off (including the PC and Printer) and left it for half an hour.
Then I turned the printer on but turned the wireless off. I then tried to print the same document from the PC (which came up with an error saying my printer needed a connection to complete) turned the wireless back on via the printer and it works!
Quite disappointed I seem to be having so many problems with the ENVY after all its recommendations, hopefully the issue will not return.

My printer wont print because I can't find the right password on (re)set-up. What should I do?

I"m running windows 8 (I think) and my printer wont print from my computer on the wireless function. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software and updatuing but none of this seems to help. What should I do now.

Hi @mfk8
I am not sure I understand, what password are you looking for? Is the printer still on the wireless network? Perhaps the following document will be helpful; 'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the HP Printer Will Not Print.
I look forward to hearing back from you.

I am using Mac 10.4.11 and I am having a problem when my printer wont print what I tell it too. Please Help!

A warm welcome to Apple discussions!
A 2003 iMac cannot support Snow Leopard 10.6; you'd need an Intel processor and that cannot be retrofitted to your Mac. What does "About this Mac" in your Apple menu say for your processor speed? What does it say about how much RAM you have?
If the processor is 1ghz or faster, you can run OS 10.5; otherwise, you are maxed out at 10.4.11.
Also, are you running any commercial ("pay for") anti-virus or security software? They are notorious for slowing most Macs to a fraction of their speed potential.
A too-full hard drive can drag down performance, especially if you don't have a lot of physical RAM installed. If you single-click your hard drive icon and then do command i, you'll see the disk usage. Looks like this:
The value for "Used" should be no more than about 90 percent of "Capacity." In the example image, that drive has about 34 percent of its space used and 66 percent free--more than enough. Please post what you see for your Capacity and Used numbers
There are a few more things we might check but this is a good start.
Awaiting your information,
Allan

HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 1515 printer wont print after replacing black ink cartridge

Hello.
My HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 1515 printer has been working correctly since a year.
I had to replace both ink cartridges and I changed only the black one since I needed that one most.
But, the lights keep flashing and the printer wont print. Please help?

Hi @RRGS,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that your HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 1515 printer will not print after replacing black ink cartridge, and your lights are still flashing. I am happy to help!
What lights are flashing on the printer?
In the meantime, please see this guide, Blinking Lights on the HP Deskjet 1510 and Deskjet Ink Advantage 1510 Printer Series.
Hope this guide helps!

Cannot print-to-fax on HP Photosmart C7280 with latest drivers

This machine used to have Tiger then got leopard installed. I installed the new HP drivers yesterday and reset the print system, then added the printer which prints just fine. Haven't tried scanning yet. My problem right now however, is Faxing. I have never been able to fax from any computer on two models of HP printers.
I added the Fax printer by going to System Preferences->Print and Fax->More Printers, then selecting HP AiO Fax. It started showing as a (Fax) printer. I then went to the print options during a print and was able to add my recipient with the phone number. But after clicking "Send Fax", it got stuck in the print queue. Restarting it only flashes "Printing" for a bit then stops.
All I want is to send a couple of faxes with the Fax printer I bought.. You'd think single recipient print-to-fax would be a typical QA use case.
Anyway, I enabled debug logging on the cups daemon to reveal the following on /var/log/cups/error_log. I suspect that "unrecognized selector sent to instance" message. By the way, PrintJobMgr leaks like a sieve.

"HP Send Fax" from the device manager doesn't work either.

Hi
Can you try this.
Download this HP SW driver from HP.com
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4142&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4083...
This is a mountain lion installer, currently there's no support for Mavericks. Just downlaod this.
After you ahve downloaded, install the sw.
When you reach the page below, try to check everything.
Whne you reach this page,select the "Bonjour Multifunction" and in Use: select the the HP Officejet ******. Dont select AirPrint. You should see the HP Fax during this page. If dontsee the Fax, just wait for a while maybe 2mins. Update me if you dont. And continue the installation.
After the installation, click "System Preferences" in the dock. Select Printers & Scanners, on this page you should see the Printers and Faxes of your printer.
Please try it out and update me the outcome.

Printer wont print. have new ink. trouble help say it ok but its not ok

I HAVE A HPPHOTO SMART C5180 ALL IN ONE PRINTER. IT JUST STOP PRINTING SO I CHECK THE INK REPLACE IT WITH NEW INK AN NOW IT JUST WONT PRINT I TROUBLE SHOOT IT AN IT SAY ITS OK BUT IT STILL DONT PRINT . I ALLSO REPLACE IT WITH NEW PAPER AN IT STILL DONT WORK

If resetting the que fails try deleting the printer and reinstalling (delete and allow your mac to find it again). This has worked for me in the past when I had trouble with the que.
If that fails you can search the HP website for a OS-X compatible driver for this printer model and try using that instead of the pre-installed driver selected by OS-X.
Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

Printer wont print word documents

I have had my printer/scanner for nearly a year now, it seems to print anything except a word document. I have both word 13 and notebook on my system. It wont print from either program, I am wondering whether this printer comes with these programs in the softwear? If yes any ideas how to sort the problem?

Hello sasaone2one,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some issues when attempting to print from Word.
Have you by chance checked to see if any updates are available for Word? Not having all the updates can cause the printer not to function on Word documents.
I also suggest that you try the following link for the HP Deskjet 2540 series Firmware Update.
Feel free to write me back at any time if you have any other questions or concerns.

SOLUTION: for printer wont print using black ink cartridge. ETC.

Black ink wont print in low resolution, you can't use high resolution if you selected plain paper. Choose "hp premium paper", even if you use cheap paper. Default Quality for this is "Best" but "Best" ONLY works IF you select a quality paper, such as "hp premium paper".
It's a software fault, there should be no option for plain paper for black only printing.
Hope this helps a few!
Andy

If HP Premium photo paper is selected the printer will print black using the color cartridges since pigmented black ink is not compatible with photo paper. The printer will print much more slowly in photo mode and will put more ink than is intended on the page.
If black is not printing when you print a nozzle pattern from the printer then likely there is an issue with the printhead or the ink delivery system between the ink supplies and the printhead.

I have a 6520 that says its connectedwirelessly but the printer wont print now

Hi,
I have a HP6520 that worked for about a day when I got it, then THe printer would become disconnected (from devices and printers ((turn gray)) what I had to do was turn the printer off, then back on, and i could get a few documents through (about 10mins) then it would stop working.
I thought I got wise and stopped my file sharing and quit my home network thinking there could be an open port or something that a hacker could get into.
The printer worked great for about 2 days, but now It says the printer is connected from the printer side (I printed the test sheet) and the greyed out icon in documents and printers is light up again. but I cant get the firmware update to find the printer, nad the printer quit printing
On the bright side, I got Docx files to print using my eprint.. go figure?

Hi Merdock,
Are you using Windows 8 or 8.1?
The share mode turned off can cause issues in Windows 8/8.1, such as you describe.

The printer wont print on photo paper why is that

The printer keeps printing on paper instead of photo paper

How are you sending the print job, and what file type are you trying to print? I know airprint and eprint base the paper type on what file type is printing. If its from a computer you will have to specify in the print settings what paper to use.

6510 b211a printer wont print all of a sudden

Have had it for almost a yr-worked great until recently. Did nothing new. Have tried turning off and restarting it and both of the computers that are wireless connected to it (one is an Apple the other a Dell..both are unable to communicate with printer). Have run the wireless test results and every thing passes or says very good, have tried checking IP address which is correct, even made sure Port is correct. Also, ran problem dr scans. Occassionally will print after restarting but only for 1 or 2 items and; then back to not printing. Control panel on computer says printer is available but after trying sends an error msg. Wondering if I should ever buy an HP again. Please, help..really need a printer, have a ton invested..especially in ink and photo paper, and printer. Thanks

Winston, sounds like you have a configuration issue which is preventing you from communicating with the printer. To start, you can check what Miki stated above and see if that applies to your situation. I would like to start by removing the software from your PC and replacing it with the most up to date version from the HP website.
First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it (this is important). Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer.
In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.
Download this file, and if optional use the Full-feature software.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=5058336
Install that and let me know the result!
Have a great day!
