Refilled color cartridge can't conform to F2120 all-in-one

In a nutshell, I got my colored ink jet cartridge refilled and it doesn't seem to conform to my HP F2120 all-in-one printer.
A more detailed description:
*When I attach the printer cable to my computer, an orange light flashes beside of the image on the printer of an ink drop (just above where it says "Resume").
*Also, a box pops us saying that it sensed a new cartridge and basically requests the cartridge to be aligned. It's never happened this way before. A refilled cartridge always worked right away for me. If I put in a brand new cartridge, then automatically an alignment page would be printed out.
*Well, it asked for me to print an alignment page or "continue" if I already had a page; I select the first option and no page would be printed out. So I try again and I select the other option of "continue", then it asked to scan the alignment page and once scanned, I clicked "done".
*I try to print out a document and it won't happen. Sometimes when I attach the printer cable to the printer cable, I notice a box saying that there is a problem with this colored cartridge so "please refer to printer documentation" which doesn't provide any help in this situation.
*SO, has anybody experienced this problem before? Is it possible my old alignment pages don't work and that there is a way to print out a new alignment page? Any other troubleshooting idea or fix that could work? OR do I get a brand new cartridge?

Hi shinygray
It's possible that the refilled ink has affected the reliability of the cartridge. You could try cleaning the cartridge as described here . Did that solve it?

HP Deskjet F2120 all in one printer driver not installing after upgrading to Windows 7

I have a HP Deskjet F2120 all in one printer. I was working fine in Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
Once I upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit the driver is failing to install.
I have tried all the solutions provided on the HP website but none of them worked.
I also wrote a mail to HP support but they replied that its out of warranty hence they will not be able to help.
If some genius can help me I will pray for him/her that all his/her wishes come true.
Thanks you in advance.

I just got my HP Deskjet F2120 working in Windows 7. Here's how:
Insert the setup disk in your CD/DVD drive. Choose to view the files in Explorer. Scroll down to the file "Setup," which is identified as an application.
Right-click the file and select "Properties." Click the "Compatibility" tab at the top of the resulting window.
Check off "Run this program in compatability mode for:" and choose "Windows Vista" from the pop-up menu.
ALSO check "Run this program as administrator" at the bottom of the window.
Press "Apply," then "OK."
Now you can double-click the "Setup" file and run the software installer.
It will 100% work inshallah...

Can I refill the cartridges for the canon mx300 without purchasing new ones

I have a Canon IP4000 and filling the ink cartridges is straight forward.
My question is can I refill the cartridges for a MX300 without the expense of purchasing new ones.
If I can what is the procedure once filled in getting the printer functioning again.
I realise that it would not be in the interest of some manufacturers but the new cost of cartridges costs more than a new printer. Should you continue to manufacture the IP4000 I would recommend this product, it is a very inexpensive printer to use and gives excellent service. Richard

you need a cross-grade, but adobe only offers free cross-grades for current releases, Order product | Platform, language swap

Brightness & light colored font-bad sound on HP Pavilion All-in-One, 20-b013w

I help correct learners of English, and when I record the sound on playback is horrible. I purchased a new mic, but the problem still exist. Seems like a lot of noise in the background. A big problem I have with the monitor is the brightness and light color of font. It is so light that it is very hard to read. For instance on this page, the blue lettering is hard to read with the screen being so white. I have a HP Pavilion 20 All-in-One, 20-b013w, and have the Windows 8 on the computer.
How can I improve the sound when I record using a microphone, and is it possible to darken the font and maybe change the contrast? I am not a computer expert by any means, so if someone can help me I would be very thankful.

Hello leatherneckco. I understand you're having some trouble with your microphone and your screen's brightness.
What program are you using to record your audio? Have you tried recording in another application?
A good first step is to uninstall and reinstall the drivers. Try the following.
From either the Metro or Desktop view press the Windows+X key combination. This opens the Context Menu.
Select Device Manager.
Expand the "Sound, video, and game controllers" section.
Right click on your sound card and select Uninstall.
After the uninstallation has completed you should reboot your notebook.
Once Windows loads it will reinstall the device.
Verify whether the issue persists and post the result.
You can adjust your brightness by following these directions or using the monitor's physical buttons. This document can show you how to change the settings related to your computer's fonts.
I'll keep an eye out for your reply. Have a good day.

Can I use a Sony all-in-one PC/TV as a second display for the G5?

I'm trying to build a pro music system out of my G5, which means that it should only have music software on it. I have an aluminum 20" display hooked up to my Radeon x800T video card, which has one DVI and one ADC jack on it. A pro music rig needs two 20" displays, at least, to display all the mixers, processors, instruments, etc. I have to use a PC for my financial stuff and need a new one. The new Sony Vaio VGC-VA 11G is their version of the i-Mac G5, it's all-in-one plus it is a 20" LCD TV with S-video and composite video in, not VGA in. If I get an ADC-to-VGA adaptor and hook that up to a VGA-to-S/video & composite adapter (all on ebay!), can I plug the output of the G5 to one of the video ins on the Sony Vaio and then use the Sony Vaio's TV as the second display (not simply mirroring the Apple display)? I guess it would be the same as using an LCD TV as a second, non-mirroring display. If it works, it's going to be cool!
Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2) Dual 2 Gghz (not quad), 3 Megs Ram, ATI Radeon x800T 256

By reading the user's manual, it appears that is possible. Download the User Manual from this link:

With the computer off, turn on the monitor, button farthest to the right.
Next button to the left of the on/off button, controls the input. Cycle it until you see HDMI in.
I don't have B520, but I have an A310 and it works the same. I hope that works for you.
Good luck!

Can't scan from 5610 all in one front panel

I have an HP5610 all in one installed on my Dell Vostro 200 with E6550 dual core processor, XP SP3 home OS. I noticed the problem when I tried to scan from the front panel of my 5610 and the orange exclamation light started blinking. The display said "No Scan Options". I ran the HP Print and Scan Doctor and it said to set the front panel scan destinations. I selected the default settings and closed the HP Direc.exe. When I opened the HP Direc.exe and looked for the panel destination that I set, I saw that they did not save. I can scan just fine using the HP software and have been doing so for many years. I now am wondering if I have had this issue all along, especially since I never remember trying to scan from the front panel of my 5610 until the other day.
I have done just about everything the Printing and Scan Doctor told me to do. I have shut down my 5610, unplugged it for several minutes, plugged it back in, removed the all in one program and reinstalled from the HP website. What is strange...I have the 5610 software installed on a Dell 3000 Dimension I have in a home network and it works perfectly. I'm seriously thinking about moving the 5610 in the room with my Dimension 3000 and buying a (print only) printer for my Vostro 200. I can work around this but I can't stand to have something not work correctly with a very good computer. Please, no comments on my preferred operating system. I am not upgrading, and as I said, this all in one works perfectly with a PC built in 2004. And contrary to belief, I am still getting security updates on a biweekly basis from Microsoft. One day last week I got 8 in one day. Thanks all for all of your excellent help!

Can't get HP 8620 all-in-one to scan to computer. Advice?

I just bought a new printer/scanner/fax - HP 8620 all-in-one.
I have Mac OSX 10.9.3 and the most up to date drivers/software from the HP website (april 2014). I have connected the printer via ethernet cable to our wireless router.
I have installed as per intructions. When I go to HP utilities, I have been able to set up "scan to email" but not "scan to computer". Keeps saying that "scan to computer" software is not available and that I need to go to hp support website to download the latest version (which I already have).
Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling - no help.
Any advice?

You can't use the scan button on the printer. You have to start the scan from OS X.

Can't print to 8600 All-In-One after awhile

I have an 8600 All-In-One N911A and it is connected to my network via wired Ethernet and after power up, I can print to the printer via my Mac's and ipad/iphone no problem. After some preiod of time (hours) none of my devices can print to the printer however I CAN get to it via a web browser by IP Address.
I get the message printer is not responding or looking for printer and if I power cycle the device it can be seen/printed to again but the issue repeats itself after a few hours.
Any clue what could be casuing this with all my devices? My main router is a fairly new Linksys Router/Wireless/Switch and it seems like a printer. I had a similar problem with an 8500 which I replaced thinking it had a networking hardware failure so I don't think it is a bad printer given this is the second one with a problem.

Hi checkyou,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
Sorry to hear that you are having connectivity issues with the printer to the WiFi. I have seen this issue and I was able to resolve the issue by doing one easy step. If you happen to have the printer power cable connected to a power bar/strip, please remove it and connect it directly to a wall outlet. HP printers already have built in surge protector and if you have the power cable connected to a bar/strip, the printer will not get all the power it needs to function properly and this could very well be the reason why you are having issues.
Here is a document that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Please note that the printer that is listed in the document is a LaserJet printer and it is only used as an example. This document is meant for HP products in general.
If this does not resolve the issue, please feel free to write me back.

Print Cartridge Problem: Tricolor - HP Officejet J4680 All In One

I am seriously going to have an anxiety attack. I run a business from home & I HAVE to have a printer. I just spent $50 on new ink cartridges. My printer was working fine for the last week, and then tonight I have this error message:
Print cartridge problem: [Tri Color] . Refer to device documentation to troubleshoot
SO I reset the printer, shut it on and off, cleaned the cartridge and the printer, switched out the new cartridge with the old one ~ same problem. Over and over.
I called HP and they said that since my printer is out of warranty they can't help me unless I purchase a new warranty plan. What horrible customer service. This printer is a product of HP and I should be able to get help regardless of when the warranty expired.
This is so frustrating. If I can't get help, I think I would rather buy a new printer of a different brand instead of paying for a warranty after I just spent 50 bucks on ink. GRRR!
