Out of yellow ink? If your ink is full, then you most likely have a dried up yellow ink path or the sponge at the bottom of the printer is full and preventing ink to pass through to the paper. Chances are, you are plugged up and need a new printer - HP is water based and if not used on a constant bases, the ink will dry and cause clogging.

Driver disk for what? You should just be able to plug this into a PC and install the drivers from the HP website without needing a disk of any sort. They are available here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&product=3194498 If you are not sure what your operating system is, go to the start menu, right click on computer, and choose properties and it should be listed

Ok what is the issue.. are you not able to replace it or you are not able to remove it.

Sounds like the settings may need to be checked. Are you sure there is no pieces of paper in the path? Also, did you change the density of the cards from what you used to use?

Hi,If the alignment failed on HP Photosmart C6280, Try to check if any of the cartridges are low on ink. if so replace them and try to re-alignIf that is not the issue, Remove the Cartridges from the printer and clean the contacts with lint free cloth and put them back in. The printer should go thru auto - alignment..If this fails too, Press Cancel button on printer and Press the Menu button ( setup button ) and scroll to Tools menu - Press OK - Under tools option you will find Clean Cartridges - Press OK.If this process too does not fix the issue, mostly likely your printer has gone bad. It needs replacement.The best i can suggest you will be to Call HP support - 1-800-474-6836 and check best deal they can offer you on upgrade printer.Regards,Suhail

You lost your disc? No problem!

Just go to HP's website and download the drivers and software, then install them on your computer and you will be ready to go!

Their website is located at http://www.hp.com. Look for downloads and then enter your make and model of printer to locate the software. Then just follow the prompts to download and install it. Disconnect your printer from your computer before installing the software and reconnect it after the install is complete or when you are told to do so during the installation procedure.

Hope this helps?

Hi Please follow the the steps given below Make sure that the printer's power cord is connected to the walljack (Avoid if there is any surge protector or extension cord) Take out all the ink cartridges Take a clean cloth, dampen it in distilled water and with that cloth clean copper contacts of the cartridges firmly Let them dry for 2 minutes Unplug all the cables from the back of the printer while printer is turned on (After closing all the doors that are open and also keep the cartridges out) After 2 minutes, plug in the power cable Put the ink cartridges in one by one, then close all the doors again Printer would start going through some maintence and then would start aligning the ink cartridges All the best!! Regards

Please go to Control panel>Printers Right click on the name of the printer and click on Use Printer Online

This can be caused by a number of problems however a common cause is when the pins in the ink cartridge bays haven't properly pierced the cartridge(s) when they were originally inserted. If the cartridge is almost empty it may be worthwhile trying to remove it and manually piercing it yourself with a pin.


Would you kindly rate my answer please if this has helped resolve the problem - thanks :)

slowly off and on the printer for five times without cartridge, printer saves data of cart of last 5 only so next time it reads full ink..
