Printing problem on HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-One

Hi,
I'm trying to print a single page calendar but it's coming out with streaks in 3 places.  I tried 3x and the streaks are always in the same place.  I'm using Konica Inkjet Paper QP Premium Photo Glossy, which is supposed to be suitable for all modern inkjet printers.  Is this an ink problem, a printer problem or a paper problem?

My guess would be a print settings issue.  I would suggest setting the media type to Photo paper rather than automatic and set the quality to "Best".
If that does not help please provide more details - are the streaks at a consistent spacing?  Where are they on the page?  What color are the streaks?

  • HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-one Alignment Page message keeps scrolling

    The HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-one display shows "No printing Alignment Page" scrolling for the last 30 minutes.
    Also, suddenly, this printer is no long listed in my control panel.
    I installed new cartridges about a week ago and they worked fine until this week.

    Hi there,
    Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
    Best of Luck!

  • Photosmart C5280 all-in-one Cartridges error message

    hi, I have a Photosmart C5280 all-in-one. It's been good until today when I got an error message:
    ! Print Cartridges refer to printer documentation.
    I've only ever used genuine HP cartridges. I have the correct ones in - 75XL tricolour and 74XL black.
    I've taken them out, reseated them several times to no avail, the error message will not leave and the printer will not function. Any ideas please?

  • Problem Installing HP PhotoSmart Premium All-in-One C309g

    I have a Wireless PhotoSmart Premium All-in-one Printer, model C309g. In the last 4 days, I've had 7 tech calls to HP as I cannot print.  One got me printing temporarily from 2 laptops, but then failed.  Most recently, after the latest tech's assistance, my printer cannot find or connect to my network.  Each tech had their own theory, from a problem w/ router relating to N/G/B speed (???), a firewall blocking communication between printer/laptop, MAC address filter and the router (D-link wireless G/N/B) changes the IP address on the printer.  My case was escalated 2 days ago at HP, but I have not yet heard back from them.  Needless to say, I am not happy w/ HP. 
    I have just enough experience to be dangerous, but I do have some experience and I've learned alot by watching the HP techs.  Anything anyone can suggest would be greatly appreciated! 
    Thanks!

    You are wonderful!!!
    Yes, I know my passphrase.
    There were times when all items PASSED.  Initial setup error msg indicated problem w/ MAC code filtering.  Tech was able to resolve.  At this point, the printer cannot connect to router.  It sees it, asks for passphrase, errors off.   All recent diagnostics run indicate FAIL for  No Filtering. 
    BTW, throughout ALL of this, the Wireless indicator light on the printer is illuminated, wh/ led me to believe I had connectivity all along.
    I was told by tech the router assigns different IP addresses for the printer (dunno why), neither of which will open in explorer.  Tried to set printer manually (subnet mask IP, etc) but it kept going back to auto detect IP. 
    THANK YOU SO MUCH for your time.  I am still interested in learning more, but I have a previous appt.  If I have NOT taken the product back before I get back on line, I would still be interested in your ideas.  I will check back tomorrow.  Have a wonderful evening!

  • Looking for Print Server for HP Photosmart C4483 All-in-One Printer

    I am looking for Print Servers that I can use with 'HP Photosmart C4483 All-in-One Printer' for both 'Printing and Scanning'. I'm not sure if this Printer is Network Ready or Network Capable, kindly advice.

    Hello Merole
    As I understand it you can print color everywhere but from MS Word 2013? If this is the case try the steps I have outlined below to see if they resolve your issue:
    On the View tab, in the Color/Grayscale group, click Black and White.
    On the Black and White tab, in the Change Selected Object group, click the settings that you want.
    I hope this helps resolve your printing issue. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Printing problem with HP deskjet 3050 all in one J610 series

    I have a HP deskjet 3050 all in one J610 series which I am using with Windows Vista Version 6.0 (Build 6006: Service pack 2).  Connecting is by USB port.  I have not used the printer for some time, but have done all the maintence checks & it is good to go.  When I want to print a letter the only thing that gets printed is the email address which is coloured blue.  I think the problem is in the settings of the printer features.  I can print the letter in gray scale but this is not easy to read and not suitable for business dealings.
    I would appreciate help with this problem.  A definition of the terms used in the printer features might help me resolve it by my self.
    Thanks

    2. How is the printer connected, USB or Wireless?
    3. If you print a test page from the front panel do you see the same issue?
    I hope to hear from you soon.

    Hi again,
    I've seen this message associated with the cartridges on other printers.  Are there any other messages along with this message?  If there is a different message with it let me know.
    You might try cleaning the cartridge contacts in the carriage.

  • Printing to a HP Photosmart C4280 All-In-One printer?

    I have a 27" iMac that has the above printer connected via USB cable to the back of the computer. I have printer/scanner sharing turned on for this connected printer but the iPad 2 is not finding any printers.
    Shouldn't I be able to print to the printer while the 27" iMac is powered on?
    If not, can someone help me get this working. My wife uses it and I need to get this working. T
    Thanks

    You need some software on the mac, like Printopia, that can get signals from the iPad and pass them to the printer.

  • HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one problem printing. Ink System Failure has failed unable to copy--

    I'm having a problem printing on my HP Photosmart C7280 All-In-One. The following message is what came up on the printer screen: Ink System Failure has failed unable to copy, receive faxes or print. Refer to printer documentation Error O.cl9a0007.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hey Spider! First off welcome to the forum.
    I would recommend removing all the ink cartridges, unplugging the USB cable from the computer that connects to the printer, and then shutting the printer off completely by removing the power cord. Then restart your computer. Turn the printer back on but leave it disconnected from the computer. After it has finished its power on cycle go ahead and insert the ink cartridges back into the printer and be sure to seat them properly.
    After you have all the cartridges back in the printer properly then connect it to the computer. See if this resolves the issue. If not post back with any findings.
    Thanks,
    SeanS
