What is the model of your printer?

  • 9 more comments 
  • Anonymous Mar 04, 2008

    You can find the manual for your printer here.

    HP also has a troubleshooting page for your printer here.

    Are there any lights on or flashing? Or does it seem completely dead and won't even turn on anymore?

  • Anonymous Mar 04, 2008

    Try printing a self-test page from the printer itself:



        Press and hold the Cancel button and then press the Start Copy Color button.
    The HP All-in-One prints a self-test report, which will indicate if the problem is with the printer itself, or with its connection to your computer.

  • Anonymous Mar 04, 2008

    Well, seems like it is a connection problem. Make sure the USB cable is plugged securely into both printer and computer.

    Then go to the Control Panel (int he Start Menu), and click on Printers.



    Find your HP Deskjet F4185, right-click on it and select "Properties"



    Click that "Print Test Page" button in the lower right corner. Does your printer respond?

  • Anonymous Mar 04, 2008

    Aha! So double-click on the HP F4185 printer in the "Printers & Faxes" Control Panel, and then click on "File"

    Are there checks by "Use Printer Offline" or "Pause Printing"?



    If so, click on "Pause Printing" to clear the checks. That should reactivate the connection between your computer and printer.

  • Anonymous Mar 04, 2008

    Sorry, that should read, "Click on 'Printer' "

    not "Click on 'File' "

  • Anonymous Mar 04, 2008

    If that document still is not printing, try right-clicking on it in the queue and select "Cancel."

    That should clear the queue for printing to proceed once again.

  • Anonymous Mar 04, 2008

    Make sure neither "Pause Printing" nor "Use Printer Offline" are checked. We want the printer name to stand alone in the "Printers & Faxes" window, with no "Paused," or "Offline."

    Let's reinstall your printer:

    1. Disconnect the HP All-in-One from your computer. Do not connect the HP All-in-One to your computer until after you have reinstalled the software.
    2. On the Windows taskbar, click Start, Programs or All Programs, HP, Deskjet F4100
    All-In-One series, Uninstall.
    3. Follow the onscreen instructions.
    4. If you are asked whether you would like to remove shared files, click No.
    Other programs that use these files might not work properly if the files are deleted.
    5. Restart your computer.
    NOTE: It is important that your printer is disconnected before restarting
    your computer. Do not connect the HP All-in-One to your computer until after you have reinstalled the software.
    6. To reinstall the software, insert the HP All-in-One CD-ROM into your computer’s CD-ROM drive, and follow the onscreen instructions and the instructions provided in the Setup Guide that came with the HP All-in-One.
    7. After the software is installed, connect the HP All-in-One to your computer.
    8. Press the On button to turn the HP All-in-One on.
    After connecting and turning on the HP All-in-One, you might have to wait several
    minutes for all of the Plug and Play events to complete.
    9. Follow the onscreen instructions.

  • Anonymous Mar 04, 2008

    You should "Continue Anyway." Despite the dire warning from Micro$oft, it will be fine.

    "Windows Logo Testing" just means that a vendor has to pay Micro$oft an exorbitant fee in order to get Micro$oft's stamp of approval. It's just a shake-down racket.

    HP isn't playing Microsoft's game, and so Microsoft tries to scare HP's customers with that message.

  • Anonymous Mar 04, 2008

    At this point, I would open a support case with HP to have them explain why their printer software isn't working the way it should.

    You can start here. They have several modes of communication, including live chat, email and phone,

  • Anonymous Mar 04, 2008

    Your welcome. They should be able to set it right for you. Good luck!

What is the replacement printer for HP Laser Jet
This document provides information about replacing the print cartridge for the HP LaserJet 1010 printer series, including life expectancy and replacement instructions. Print cartridge life expectancy The life of the print cartridge depends on the amount of toner that your print jobs require. When printing text on letter/A4-size paper at five percent coverage, the print cartridge lasts an average of 2,000 pages. This assumes that you set the print density to three and disable EconoMode. (These are the default settings.) See Ordering supplies for information on ordering replacement print cartridges. Changing the print cartridge Follow the below instructions to change the print cartridge:
  1. Open the print cartridge door, and remove the old print cartridge. See the recycling information inside the print cartridge box. Figure 1: Removing old print cartridge c00028312.gif CAUTION: To prevent damage, do not expose the print cartridge to light. Cover it with a piece of paper.
  2. Remove the new print cartridge from the packaging, and gently shake it from side to side to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge. Figure 2: Gently shaking new print cartridge c00028313.gif
  3. Pull the tab until all the tape is removed from the print cartridge. Put the tab in the print cartridge box to return for recycling. Figure 3: Removing tape from print cartridge c00035442.gif
  4. Insert the print cartridge in the printer, making sure that the print cartridge is in position. Close the print cartridge door. Figure 4: Inserting new print cartridge c00028315.gif

Do pixma Mp610 support duplex printing
The MP610 does support duplex printing.

Duplex Printing
duplex.gif
The duplex printing function allows you to print data on both sides of a sheet of paper.
The procedure for performing duplex printing is as follows:
Performing automatic duplex printing
You can perform the duplex printing without having to turn over the paper.
1. Open the printer driver setup window, check the Duplex Printing check box, and confirm that Automatic is checked.
duplex1.gif
2. Select Normal-size Printing (or Fit-to-Page Printing, Scaled Printing or Page Layout Printing) from the Page Layout list.
3. When printing a document that has small margins, click Print Area Setup... and set the print area.
When you perform duplex printing, the print area of the document becomes slightly narrower than usual and the document may not fit on one page.
duplex2.gif
sub.gifTo print without reducing the page:
Select Use normal-size printing.
sub.gifTo reduce the page slightly during printing:
Select Use reduced printing.
4. Specify Staple Side.
The printer analyzes the Orientation and Page Layout settings, and automatically selects the best staple position. Check the Staple Side setting. If you want to change the setting, select another value from the list.
5. If necessary, click Specify Margin... and set the Margin width.
6. Click OK.
Duplex printing will be started.

Performing duplex printing manually
You can perform the duplex printing manually.
1. Check the Duplex Printing check box and uncheck the Automatic check box on the Page Setup tab.
duplex3.gif
2. Select Normal-size Printing (or Fit-to-Page Printing, Scaled Printing or Page Layout Printing) from the Page Layout list.
3. Specify Staple Side.
The printer analyzes the Orientation and Page Layout settings, and automatically selects the best staple position. Check the Staple Side setting. If you want to change the setting, select another value from the list.
4. If necessary, click Specify Margin... and set the Margin width.
5. Click OK.
sub.gifIf a media type other than Photo Paper Plus Double Sided is selected for Media Type on the Main tab:
When you execute print, the document will be printed on one side of a sheet of paper. When printing is complete, reload paper according to the displayed message and then click OK. The document will be printed on the opposite side.
sub.gifIf Photo Paper Plus Double Sided is selected for Media Type on the Main tab:
When you execute print, the document will be printed front and back alternately for one sheet at a time. Load the paper according to the displayed messages.
caution.gif Note sub.gifDuplex Printing is unavailable when:
- A media type other than Plain Paper, Photo Paper Plus Double Sided or Hagaki is selected from the Media Type list.
- Poster Printing is selected from the Page Layout list.
sub.gifWhen Booklet Printing is selected from the Page Layout list, Duplex Printing and Staple Side appear grayed out and are unavailable.
sub.gifAfter printing the front page, there is an ink drying wait time before starting to print the back page (Operation stops temporarily). Do not touch the paper during the time. You can change the Ink Drying Wait Time at Custom Settings on the Maintenance tab of the printer driver.
sub.gifWhen you perform the automatic duplex printing for Hagaki, print an address first and then print your message.
refer.gif Tip sub.gifIf you select Photo Paper Plus Double Sided for Media Type on the Main tab, the Duplex Printing check box on the Page Setup tab is not checked automatically. To perform duplex printing, check the Duplex Printing check box.
sub.gifIf the Media Type dialog box appears when performing borderless printing during duplex printing, select Plain Paper or Photo Paper Plus Double Sided.
sub.gifWhen performing the automatic duplex printing, do not use any plain paper smaller than A5. Also, do not select any type of paper other than Plain Paper, Photo Paper Plus Double Sided or Hagaki at Media Type.
sub.gifPhoto Paper Plus Double Sided is highly recommended for printing photographs on both sides of a page.

HP PSC 1300 All in one Printer
Replacing the print cartridgesgtabtop.gif
  1. Turn on the HP PSC and lower the print-carriage access door.
    The print carriage will move into the access area. Figure 1: Opening the print-carriage access door
    c00034850.jpg
  2. After the carriage stops moving, push down on the top of the print cartridge to release it, and then pull it toward you out of the slot.
      NOTE: The black cartridge is on the right side of the print carriage.
    Figure 2: Removing the print cartridge
    c00034851.jpg
      NOTE: It is normal to see ink buildup in the print cartridge slots.

  3. Remove the new print cartridge from the packaging and gently remove the plastic tape by using the pink pull tab.
      CAUTION: Do not touch the copper contacts or ink nozzles. Install the cartridge immediately upon removing the tape to prevent ink from drying in the nozzles.
    Figure 3: Removing the plastic tape
    c00034852.jpg
  4. Push the new print cartridge into the appropriate slot at a slight angle, until it clicks into place.
      CAUTION: Do not attempt to push the cartridge straight into the slot. It must slide in at a slight angle.
    Figure 4: Inserting the print cartridge
    c00034853.jpg
  5. Close the print-carriage access door.


Using a photo print cartridgegtabtop.gif To use the photo print cartridge, remove the black print cartridge and insert the photo print cartridge in its place.
The photo print cartridge can be purchased separately and will optimize the quality of printed photos.
With the tri-color print cartridge and photo print cartridge installed, you have a six-ink system, which provides enhanced quality photos. For printing regular text documents, use the black print cartridge.
Use a print cartridge protector to keep either print cartridge secure when it is not being used. Figure 5: Storing the print cartridge
c00034854.jpg 1 - Inserting the print cartridge
2 - Removing the print cartridge

Aligning the print cartridgesgtabtop.gif After installing or replacing a print cartridge, the HP PSC will automatically print a cartridge alignment page.

  2. Press Scan .
    The HP PSC will align the print cartridges. During the alignment the button LED will blink until the alignment is complete.
