US-bought All-In-One won't accept UK HP inks

My machine is out of warranty. It's a Photosmart CP1680 all-in-one printer/scanner/fax.
I bought it in the US four years ago and when the ink (US "02 cartridge") was replaced with locally-bought (UK "363 cartridge") genuine HP ink cartridges, the machine would not recognise them. It tells me that the machine was configured to work with 02 cartridges. It will not let me proceed beyond that message display.
When the problem occurred then, I began using an alternative machine I had available, which is now kaput.
Any advice appreciated.

Photosmart C7280 All-In-One won't recognize new black ink cartridge

Black ink was very close to running out, purchased a new one and replaced it. Now whenever I try and print something I get a popup that says: "Install new black ink cartridge if available. To continue with other colors, press Continue. Black color will be simulated. Text and photo quality will differ from those printed when using all cartridges. If empty ink cartridge is not replaced soon, all printing will stop. To cancel, press the Cancel button on printer."
I've tried turning it off and back on, taking all the cartridges out and putting them back in, etc. I printed a test page and black prints just fine, but whenever I try to print from Ctrl+P I get that error. How do I solve this problem?

Thank you for your updated information.
Since you are able to print from you computer and the printer isn't indicating this message, then I would recommend uninstalling the software. I will provide a HP document here to help you. (If this printer is connected by a USB cable, then please remove it from the computer.)
Next, please clean your Temp folder on your computer. I will provide a document on performing this step here.
Now, install the full feature software from the HP website here. Make sure you choose your correct operating system; Either 32 bit or 64 bit. I will also provide a HP document on Installing the Printer software; Either USB or Wireless Connection.
This should remove this error message you are receiving. Please let me know if you are still receiving the same message.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

C3180 Photosmart All-in-one won't print. Gives message 'clear paper jam.' There is no paper jam.

C3180 Photosmart All-in-one won't print. Gives message 'clear paper jam.' There is no paper jam. About a month ago there was a paper jam, but was removed. It worked fine since then until yesterday. I've tried all the HP trouble-shooting suggestions- unplug, take apart, manually move carriage, etc. and nothing has solved the problem. The paper does not advance...all that happens if I try to print is a lot of noise like carriage going back and forth and after a/b 1-2 minutes it will show the "red X" blinking on the printer and a message on the computer screen, "Clear paper jam." When the problem first started yesterday the message was that the printer was "Out of paper." I need to print a resume and this is just the wrong time for someone such as myself with little computer knowledge to try to figure it out. Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi there pattimessick,
You may not need to remove/re-add. 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 (especially connectivity problems) and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

My 5250 all in one won't email with Windows 7

Since I installed windows 7 my 5250 all in one won't e-mail anything since I don't have WINDOWS MAIL ANYMORE, and it only gives you windows mail as the only option to email.
Anyone know how to correct this?

In the Start Menu, type 'Live Essentials', and open the option which says to go online to get Windows Live Essentials. This way, you can install Windows Mail.

6150 All-in-One won't print black

My HP Photosmart 6150 All-In-One won't print black. There is a new black cartridge and all the other inks are fine as well. I've cleaned the printhead 3 times and all that printed was yellow. I then ran an alignment. The alignment failed, but it wasn't because of a paper issue. The manual says it could be that the printhead assembly or the sensor is defective. Is it worth getting that fixed, or should I just get a new printer? I've had this one for 8 years and it's worked great until now.

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I noticed that your HP Photosmart c6150 will not print black. I am happy to look into this issue for you! According to this guide, Color Mix or Missing Colors on the Diagnostic Page, it states: Missing colors occur when the printhead nozzles dry out. Since you have tried cleanign the printhead multiple times, and the issue is still occuring, I would consider having the printer serviced/or replaced. Please contact HP, phone support for further assistance. (After you fill out the information, you will be given a phone number.)

Hp officejet j4580 all-in-one won't print from the internet.

My officejet j4580 all-in-one printer won't print anything I try to print off the internet, nor from microsoft word. I tried reinstalling, but it gets stuck at 94%, and it took almost 3 hours to get to that point. What can I do? My operating system is microsoft vista.
This question was solved.

Hi,
Here are a couple of things to try. I would first start with downloading and running the Print Diagnostic Utility. IF this doesn't clear it up, then try the document on Problems printing from the internet.

Wirelless connected HP All-in-one won't appear on any device

Hello, I have a strange issue regarding my HP Officejet 6700 Premium e-All-In-One. It's been working flaulessly since I bought it almost one year ago. It has no device connected by cable, so it's working entirely by wirelless and I've printed documents as from my laptop as from my android and IOS devices. The printer was always imediatly recognized on the network. Today when I went printing a document I wasn't unable to do it because the printer shows offline on the laptop and my other devices can't find it on the network. The printer itself shows it's online, the signal great, and connections tests I ran shows no problems. But still no device can find it on the network. I searched a bit here on the forum, tried some software, checked every option, every connection but the printed continues showing everything is ok and impossible to connect to. Not even the software HP Print and Scan Doctor was abble to solve the issue, because just like everything else it was unable to find the printer.
I could use some help here please...

Welcome to the Forums, tiago31088!
I came across your post about your Officejet 6700 Premium not being found on your network when you attempt to print from your devices. It seems as though the connection was lost. I am going to suggest following a few steps to try and get it connected again.
Please check out this troubleshooting guide: Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection
I hope this helps you get connected again!
If you run into any other issues, please let me know and I will do my best to help out.

Canon MG2200 All-In One won't scan?

This is really frustrating me.
Originally, i had purchased a PIXMA MG2100 All-In One printer and it worked fine. One day, however, the scanner stops working. Next the printer won't connect at all, and after some e-mails with customer support they send me a PIXMA MG2200 to replace the other, which had some problem needing factory repair.
After uninstalling and re-installing the new one, everything seems fine until i see that the scanner still won't work. I've tried it on my desktop and laptop, but it gives me the same error that says it's warming up, stops, then there's a connection problem, the scanner might be off or busy, USB connection error, please turn off and try again and scanner will shut off...yadda yadda yadda.
I've tried re-intsalling the drivers, checking for error codes on the printer screen, buying a new USB cable, changing the nearly-empty ink cartriges to new ones -- nothing works. I'm tempted to just throw the thing away and getting a different brand. I really need the scanner for what i do.
Does anyone have any solutions to make the stupid thing work? I don't understand why it won't. My last hope is buying another USB because the first one i used ended up being bust. The second one worked but only for the printer. It's not old, i got it with the printer last time, but it failed to solve the connection problem.
I use Windows 7 x64 btw. Windows XP on the desktop.

I GOT IT TO WORK.
I don't know if this will work for you adriftwaterbaby, but i bought a new cord and made it autoscan while it was doing that operation stuff right after turning it on.
I tried it with the old cord, and if i scan while it's doing its business, it works.
This is really stupid, and i'm afraid i'm going to have to change brands next time i buy a printer.

FRUSTRATED - windows 7 64 bit driver HP 6500 709e all in one won't install on 2 computers

Hi,
My son and I both got new laptops for Christmas. I have had nothing but problems installing our wireless printer with its full features. My son's computer is a Dell, mine is a Toshiba. From what I could find both needed the same driver but both have had MAJOR issues getting the install to complete and installing the device. Somehow I was able to get it installed on my Toshiba but the "fix" I used didn't work on the Dell. PLEASE HELP! Thanks
Carol
Sorry I realized I did add much information. The printer is the 6500 all in one deskjet 709e. I have tried installing the 64 bit, windows 7...i also downloaded the update. Eventually it worked for my Toshiba laptop but still can't get it to install on my son's dell.
After numerous tries,
I downloaded the driver for windows 7, 64 bit driver and then downloaded the update. The driver/software wouldn't install the device until I did the update (for my Toshiba) but this is not working for the Dell. Also I did download the troubleshooter and it was useless!

Welcome to the HP Forums Zoney,
I read your post which indicates that you are getting a "MICROSOFT VISUAL C ++RUNTIME LIBRARY" error, when trying to install the printer software. I can help you with this.
Download and install this Patch> Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error.
Uninstall the printer software.
Before installing the printer software again, setup the Admin rights on the computer.
Run Command Prompt as Administrator. Go to the start menu, type “CMD” in the search bar. Now, you should see a shortcut for CMD above. Right click on it, and click “run as administrator”. If it asks you for administrative permission, please allow permission. In your Command Prompt window (as administrator), type the following and hit Enter: net user administrator /active:yes
You should see a message saying "the command completed successfully". After troubleshooting is done, you can disable this account by typing the following command into Command Prompt (as administrator): net user administrator /active:no.
Restart the computer, and utilize the new account that is available, which should be named "Administrator".
Here are some more steps you can try if you are still getting the Runtime error.
But it is looking more like a Operating System issue.
Download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010, 2008 and 2005 Redistributable Packages.
You will find the download links to these packages below:
2005 - http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=26347
2008 - http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=5582
2010 - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14632
Try the installation again please.
Let me know how you make out.
Have a nice day!

HP Photosmart Plus B210a all-in-one won't display any networks in the list.

Hi, I recently purchased a HP Photosmart Plus all in one printer and I've been having trouble with it from day one.
First off, it won't connect wirelessly.
It won't display any networks in the list when searched for, it won't take my network details when I manually input them and it won't take any static IP address I've tried from other suggestions.
Secondly, the print quality is very bad. Streaks and fading are occuring and after using up 70% of my ink trying to sort it out through troubleshooting it's still bad.
It's extremely important for me to be able to have web access using the printer as all members of my household use it and it'll get fustrating having to car laptops and computers around to print.
Can anybody help at all?

Top line says "The wireless radio is not functioning. Contact HP support"
I take this as a very bad sign and needs replacing?
The tests I done produce streaks, fading and lines. I printed off two photos, one from a memory card and one from a scan. The memory card produced heavy blocked lines of color and the scan was just dull.
I'm using a Wanadoo Wireless Livebox and Windows 7 64 Bit
One other question... is this like a brilliant printer for photos mainly? I'm a Graphics design student and although my final prints are made from home I would like accurate and decent printouts for my portfolios. Should I keep this or go for another one with similar features and better print quality?

HP5510 All-In-One won't scan entire page image

Is there a setting or something that I'm missing when it comes to scanning with my 5510 All-In-One? I'm scanning to my MacBook using OS X. And yes, I'm placing my document in the appropriate corner, but I'm only getting a small portion of the 8 1/2x11 page instead of the entire page. I turn it every possible direction and it's still not scanning the entire page. Suggestions?

Hi @bonbon2D,
I see by your post that you are unable to scan the full image on the Mac. I can help you with this.
I have provided a document for how to scan and change the scan settings.
Scan.
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. The Airprint driver might be installed instead of the Printer's driver. (usually defaults to Airprint)
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen should show the name.
If the printer name shows Airprint, then that is the Apple drivers. Delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
What operating system are you using? Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
What application are you trying to scan with?
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!

HP 3510 all-in-one won't connect to wireless - MAC filter

I'm trying to set up my HP Deskjet 3510 e-all-in-one, but every time it tries to connect to my wireless, it fails and gives me an error saying it may be due to the MAC filtering on my router.. but there is no MAC filtering on my router! I even added it to the approved devices just in case. If I try to just set it up via USB, the software doesn't always respond to the fact that I've plugged my printer into my laptop. I'm on Windows Vista. TRIED the solution of unplugging everything, restarting everything, turning things off and on again, etc., the error never changes but I have seen for myself and had the internet company confirm that there isn't any MAC filtering on my router.

Hi,
Please enter your wireless router configuration and check what security type is configured.
May it set as WEP security?
If so, ensure the authentication type is set as Open or Auto, then try connecting the printer again.. HP printers does not support the Shared Authentication type..
Otherwise please clarify what security type is configured.

HP 4500 all in one won't turn off

My HP 4500 All In One jamed and I removed the jamed paper. When I plugged the power connector in a message appears asking me to turn the printer off and back on. However I can't turn it off with the power switch. If I unplug the power cord and reinstal it I get the same message.
Any suggestions why this is happening and what I can do to correct it?
Thanks

You can try resetting the printer. This will return all fax to the default values. Performing a partial reset may remove all speed dials and other fax settings. It might be necessary to reset the language and country/region settings after the partial reset is complete.
Disconnect the power cord from the back of the product.
Wait 20 seconds and then press and hold # and 3 on the product control panel.
Continuing to press # and 3, reconnect the power cord to the back of the product.
Release the buttons when the product turns on.
The product resets to factory defaults.
If the #3 reset does not help, you can try the same process pressing the 6 key instead of the 3.
You might also check the document 'Turn Power Off Then On' Message Displays on the Control Panel.
