Why do i get a fuzzy print ... black only... at the far left side of the page?

I get a fuzzy print at the far left edge of the page BLACK INK ONLY.... It appears that the ink is low but I get no message and the rest of the page if fine. I did the auto print head cleaning and tried 3 time to realign the print head but keep getting "unsuccessful" after the first alignment test page prints. My black ink cartridge is NOT HP.. it's after market.. could this be my problem with the print and alignment?

Hi @Wally-Bird ,
I see that you are experiencing issues when printing in black, you are getting fuzzy printing on the left side of the page.
I would like to help you out today.
HP recommends that you use genuine HP cartridges. HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP cartridges, or refilled HP cartridges. The following solutions might not resolve your print quality issue.
I have provided a document with some steps to try to see if that will resolve the issue.
Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer Series.
If the issue continues, try the steps in these documents. Disregard the titles.
An 'Ink Cartridge Failure,' 'Incompatible Ink Cartridges,' or 'Ink Cartridge Problem' Error Message ...
'Missing or Failed Printhead' Displays for HP Officejet Pro 251dw, 276dw, and 8600 Printer Series.
If you are still having issues, replace the cartridges with Genuine HP cartridges.
Have a fantastic day!
Thank You.

Why is the green progress/control bar at the bottom of the screen inaccessable or visible only as a very narrow bar at the far left side of the screen?

When trying to watch online movies in full screen mode, the green control/progress bar that should appear at the bottom of the screen is sometimes covered by another screen, and sometimes appears as only a very narrow green bar at the far left edge of the screen. This problem does not occur in Safari. I have tried full screen mode with all plugins disabled, but this did not cure the problem. This is a fairly recent development.

In the music app play a song and when the song starts to play in the screen where the progress bar was tap in the middle of the screen and it should be back. I had this problem too but then i figured it out. And trust me if u do that it will be back. If that doesnt work tell me.

Aperture 3 screen view. I have the adjustments, etc. on the left side and the picture on the far right side. The middle of screen is black. I need to get the picture back in the center of screen

I have the adjustments, etc. on the left side of the screen. The picture is on the far right side of the screen. The middle of the screen is all black.How do I get the picture back in the middle of the acreen. I believe I must have hit a button that moved the picture to the far right.

On the Mac......
Open up Macintosh HD > Applicatons > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the small window that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
Change the setting for Router Mode from the current DHCP and NAT to read Off (Bridge Mode), then click Update at the lower right of the window, and wait a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a green light.
Then.....very important
Power off the Time Capsule and your Arris modem/router for a few minutes
Start up the Arris first, and let it run a few minutes by itself
Start up the Time Capsule next the same way
Your network will now be correct, and your printing capabilities will improve.
If Time Machine backups do not occur now, post back and we will tackle that next.

Trashing the preference file may help, as I've outlined in the topic I've linked to. Otherwise, follow the steps regarding removing 3rd party QuickTime components. Also, see the final post by the OP (EEye87) regarding how his problem was resolved (a combination of trashing the preference file and the 3ivx component).

My screen on my MacBook Pro blacks out constantly. If I press on the bottom left side of the MacBook, I can keep the screen on. I have been placing a small note pad to keep pressure on the bottom in order to keep the screen lit up.

You should try taking the battery out and putting it back in, but then if that doesn't work, you should take it into your Apple Retail Store and have a genius at the Genius Bar take a look. That seems like a hardware problem to me.

There is no longer a firefox button on the top left side of my page. ??? What can I do to get it back.

I need the firefox button to check options. Want change default page now. BUT I can't because I don't have the firefox button. I don't know why it left or how to recover it. Please give me some suggestions.

You can see the Firefox button when the menu bar is hidden. In the View menu select Toolbars, then UNselect the Menu Bar item to hide the menu bar.

Why is there a circle on the lower left side of the images in the Event library?, Why is there a circle on the lower left side of the images in the Event library?

There is a circle on the lower left corner of the images in Event Library, what is the cause please?

I wouldn't spend too much time worrying, but also don't assume that it will continue functioning normally. I dropped a MacBook Pro and dented it in around the same place, and it worked fine for a month, then died out of the blue. Any physical trauma can produce damage that can worsen over time, as cracked or weakened connections expand and contract due to heating and cooling. In my case, repairs would have been more than $1,000. (I chose to just buy a new one instead.)
So, hope for the best, but plan for the worst. Make sure you are maintaining a good set of backups, and be prepared for the possibility of a large repair bill in the future.

What makes applications "snap" to the left side of the screen & get smaller

On occasion, an application such as Word will suddenly move from its normal location on the screen over to the far left side of the screen, with the top left corner of the pane in the top left corner of the screen. The application pane size reduces to about half its width.
I know I've read or seen something about this, but can't remember where - something about applications resizing to the "best" size for the screen and other open applications. Can anyone enlighten me - I'm hoping there is some setting or keyboard shortcut that is responsible, and can be unticked!

I don't know if this will help but:
I have had this happen to me lots of times. But it only seems to happen in applications that don't support Spaces, or have problems dealing with Spaces. I only get windows to resize when I overload my system with a lot of things, (multiple Safari windows, multiple Finder windows, multiple Photoshop windows, etc...) I have discovered that the only applications that try to resize themselves are Safari and Word.
I theorize that there is something inside of OS X to help CPU load, and that is one of the functions (smaller windows on the 1st Space take less CPU then large ones on other Spaces.) When I was board, I tried playing around with this, and the aforementioned case seemed to be true for me, but I have no idea. It could have all been coincidence.

HP 6500A Plus will not print black only if any color cartridges are low. It used to. Why not now?

HP 6500A Plus will not print black only if any color cartridges are low. It used to. Why not now? It will print in color if the black is low but not if any color is low. This is very annoying. Printer is using HP cartridges too.

Get used to this with HP printers - its a new feature they have introduced to keep running costs lows - works well. Had two HP printers same happened with both of these. Suggest a different brand - they might not have this special feature

Why do I get a darker printed picture than what I see on the screen of my iMac

why do I get a darker printed picture than what I see on the screen of my iMac

Because your screen is calibrated incorrectly? Because you are using an Adobe RGB color profile instead of the recommended sRGB? Because your printer is not working correctly?
With no information other than "it does not work" guesses are all that one can provide
What set up do you have? What color profile are you using? How is your screen calibrated?
What else can you tell us?

Why do I get a black rectangle on the left side of the screen when I import a clip in Imovie?

I import a clip into imovie 6 and I get a black rectangle on the left side of the screen. It's driving me crazy!

Thanks for the reply.
My original source material is in Apple Intermediate Codec, with 32-bit float audio and a variable frame rate. This has not been friendly to FCP, so I use Quicktime to convert it to Apple ProRes with 24-bit audio and 29.97 frame rate. This is what I import into FCP.
My sequence settings are set to the same specs as my source material. 854x480, square pixels, no field dominance, Apple ProRes compression.
The black bar on the left side of the screen shows up before I even export. It shows up when I render everything.
I am exporting with Quicktime Conversion to:
MP4
h.264 codec
720x405
1000 video bit rate
Main Profile
No cropping/filters or anything.
The ONLY thing I did different before upgrading to FCP6 was that I used Apple Intermediate Codec all the way through. I was told by an FCP instructor that writes and publishes all kinds of FCP training material that I should upgrade to FCP6 and use the Apple ProRes422 Codec instead, so that's what I'm trying to do.
I am going back to restart my project using Apple Intermediate Codec all the way through like I used to, but it will be awhile before I can tell if that solved the problem. Either way, I would like to be using the ProRes codec....
Thoughts?

OfficeJet Pro 8620 Can't print black only on other media types

Why won't the OfficeJet Pro 8625 driver allow me to print using black only on non-plain media types?
I purchased an OfficeJet Pro 8625 for general home printing and to print shipping labels for my business. I purchased a second tray so I can keep both plain paper and shipping labels in the printer all the time.
To select the labels, I had to pick a media type for the labels tray. I can't choose labels, so I chose Cardstock. But when I select Cardstock as the type in the driver when printing, it will not allow me to select black ink only. I want to print black only because the shipping labels come out a little bit fuzzy, with color fringes when printed in color.
I'm not worried about ink usage. I'm an Instant Ink subscriber. I need the labels to be crisp, and printed full color they aren't crisp.
What's the deal here? Why can't I select black only?

Hello @clough42 and welcome to the HP Forums!
I'm sorry to hear that you've had issues printing in black ink only on anything other than plain paper, but I will certainly see what I can do to help out
I'd recommend that you download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor. If it fails on anything please return and let me know what happened and where it failed and we will go from there.
If it passes everything and it appears there are no issues found, I'd recommend that you call our technical team for further options
Hope this helps!!

When I render my video I get a black bar on the left side of the screen

I just upgraded to FCS 2 and so far it's been a complete waste of money. I'm having nothing but problems with FCP, Compressor, and QMaster. I will just post my FCP problem here.
I've edited a weekly video podcast and everything looks great, until I render it and export it. When I render it, I get a constant, solid black bar on the far left of the video that takes up about 5% of the screen. My layers are definitely sized correctly to fill up the entire canvas, and they are all centered. I cannot figure out why I am getting this black bar or how to get rid of it without ditching the upgrade and going back to FCP5.1.
I have already tried completely uninstalling the FCS suite and reinstalling. No luck. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks for the reply.
