Wasting ink on a Photosmart c7280

sorry to hijack but i cant start a new thread for some reason. i have a similar problem but my printer is a c7280. ive had to replace several ink cartridges in color before i had to change the black one. i only really use the printer for school assignments and rarely ever use color. maybe some redlines and blue subjects but thats pretty much it. i feel like hp did this purposely to consume more ink. everytime i print the printer starts playing with the ink. after it jams it does it again. by the way evrythingg i print is in fast draft. i dont understand hosw the ink magically disappears allso it doesnt let me print onlly in black unless i have all cartridges installed with ink. my other problem is that the first page jams about 30% of the time and near 100% wshen i havent used the printr in days. my last problem is that the first page sometimes doest print the seocnd page on it then it continues perfectly fine

  • 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?

    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

  • PhotoSmart C7280 All-in-One Not Responding

    Printer = PhotoSmart C7280
    Situation #1
    Printer screen displays message "Ink System Failure" with error code 0xc19a0035
    Situation #2
    All lights flash - printer screen is blue with symbol (power) and message b03771de in white.
    Is this printer beyond  saving?
    The printer may have suffered from a sudden power outage prior to these problems appearing.
    PC - operating system is not relevant.

    The same thing happened to me ... I tried everything.  If I turned it off and put it back on it would print or copy but thats it.  I finally just bought a new printer.  HP officejet pro 8600 e all in one.  Stay away from this one if you have to buy a new printer.  Its not half as nice as the C7280.  No preview when you print and you can't even pick which pages you want to print.  A lot of wasted paper and ink!  Seems quite a few of us are getting that error message from the C7280, maybe HP did something wrong and should compensate us for the malfuncuntion!  Now I wish I didn't buy another HP.

  • HP Photosmart c7280 All-in-One Mac 10.7.1 (Lion) the "Two-Sided​" option is grayed and cannot use?

    I have a HP Photosmart c7280 All-in-One printer and a Macbook Air that runs the Lion operating system (10.7.1). 
    I am trying and needing to print via the "Two-sided" option that appears under the "Layout" pull down tab option, however, the "Two-Sided" option appears to be greyed out as if you are not allowed to use it.  I am sure that that is not the case I just do not know how to unlock it yet I guess?
    I just made sure that all of my software was up to date and it is currently.
    Everything else is perfect about the printer and I have been using it for years, so thank you!  I would just like to know what on earth I am doing wrong or need to do to unlock that "Two-sided" setting, so I do not waste a ton of paper!  Thanks again!
    Sincerely,

    Hi DAP413,
    In order to actiate the Two-Sided duplex accessory, you have to enable it from the printer settings:
    -Enter System Preferences > Print & Scan
    -Double click the Photosmart printer name to open the Print Queue.
    -Click the Printer Setup button
    -Click the Driver tab and make sure the Two-Sided Printing Accessory option is checked.

  • Since I installed Mountain Lion operating system, I cannot print.  I have a HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one printer.  I get a message when I try to update the software "Server not available  The software update service is currently not available."

    After installing Mountain Lion, my printer doesn't work.  I know it is connected as it shows up,  The message is:
    "The printer software was installed incorrectly.  Please reinstall the software for this printer or conact the anufacturer for assistance."
    I used the disk that came with the printer as when I go to the HP site, it tells me that Apple has the drivers needed.  I unistalled the printer and reistalled.  Previously, I just went to the HP website an everything worked fine for drivers, program, etc.  I never had to use the CD that came with the printer.  My printer is:  HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one, it is wireless, but I even took the computer and plugged it into the printer to make sure that everything was connected.  Can someone please help me to get this working,
    Thank you,

  • My HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One printer won´t print out documents, just pictures ...

    My HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One printer won´t print out documents, just pictures. I´ve used the printer, since it was new on the marked, and it has worked perfectly until a few weeks back. There is no problem printing out pictures, but only blank pages comes out when I´m printing out documents. Regardless if it is Word, Excel etc.
    I´ve never used anything else than original cartridges, and the printer is used on Mac OS X 10.7.4. I´ve tried to reinstall the printer several times without any success.
    Can anyone help me?

  • HP Photosmart C7280 All in One installati​on problems with windows 8.1

    Hi,
    I have a HP Photosmart C7280 All in One printer which was working fine on wifi with Windows 8. A few days ago I got the prompt to upgrade to 8.1. Following this the printer would not work at all, and I got prompt/warning message to re-install the printer software. So I went to the control panel and removed all the old HP software, and tried to re-install the latest one from the HP site...to no avail.
    I have tried doing this a number of ways - manual download, downloading the HP software that determines what software is required, then downloads it for you....
    It seems to start unpacking ok, but then gets stuck on 'Checking System' and never progresses to do anything else. Help!

    Hello Cam77,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you are encountering difficulties installing your Photosmart C7280 printer after upgrading your computer to Windows 8.1.
    I have included the Windows 8: The Progress Bar on the Software Installation Stops or Stalls document. It will walk you through the steps to get the printer installed.
    Please let me know if you encounter any difficulties while doing the above. If you do, please let me know at what step things went awry and what any error messages said. Please also include how you have the printer connected (USB cable, ethernet, or wireless). Thank you.

  • Photosmart C7280 All-In-One Wireless Not working

    My wireless printing was working fine with my Photosmart C7280 for about at least a year or more and now recently the wireless side stopped working. My Apple devices (both iPad and Macbook) stopped recognizing my printer. Even when I tried to add via IP address, it would not take.
    My printer is working fine when hard wired thru both my PC and Macbook via USB.
    I tried resetting my printer network settings by restoring to Network Defaults and adding back in my SSID and Password. It shows it is connected. But when I run a Wireless Network Test Page from within the printer settings, it shows everything passed and signal strength is excellent. However, the last diagnosis in the summary shows "No" to "Other networks detected matching your network name (SSID)"  so I am wondering if my printer is actually connecting properly to my network? Since I have other wireless devices connected to the same SSID.
    I turned both the printer and other devices off and then on to reboot. I turned the wireless radio within the printer settings off and on again.
    Another thing I'd like to mention is that before I deleted the printers in my Apple devices, they still showed my Photosmart 7200 series, but stated they were inactive.
    Also when I was able to get into my Verizon FIOS Broadband Router Management software thru my browser, it showed all my wireless devices, but it also showed my Photosmart as being inactive wirelessly, where the other devices that were turned on at the time were showing connected.
    I am wondering if it may have been a recent Apple update that may have caused this problem? However the Verizon Fios also showed the printer as being inactive so I am guessing not?
    I have been working on this issue for days and spent a ton of time thus far, so any suggestions to resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    I am about mid-level in technical understanding. So please spell out answers to any resolution steps very simply in your reply.

    Honestly, ISP-issued routers are very problematic.  Restart the Westell by pulling its power cord momentarily just before trying to connect the printer.

  • Windows 7 and HP Photosmart C7280

    I am replacing a laptop with xp with a laptop with Windows 7.  Cannot get my HP Photosmart C7280 to print wirelessly from the new laptop Windows 7.  The printer disk says it is not supported by Windows 7 - what do I do?

    That's because there are no Windows 7 drivers on your disc.  It was likely printed before Win7 was released.
