That's because it's not a printer problem. The scan options are in your computer in the scanning software for your machine. Before you can scan you need to be connected to your computer with scan software running to tell it how to scan, what you're scanning, and where to send and save the image you scan.

Hi Ford 321

This is the first thing to do to clear all the printer history. Go to the bottom of the thread.

This is the second thing to do after you try to install and it tells you a section is missing from INF. There is probably a missing registery value for imaging device. It fixed my 309a issues. Great hardware-support a bit lacking.

Hello,

The 'ink system failure' is caused by air in the ink feed tubes. This problem caused by either a poorly refilled ink cartridge or by fully using all of the ink in the cartridge and then the unit sucks up air instead of ink. You will need to purge the air from the ink lines to clear the error. We have a step by step guide posted in an article on our web site at: http://www.ccl-la.com/blog/index.php/category/printer-repair/hp-printer-repair/ The purge will take about 5 -10 minutes to perform and sould get you back printing.

I hope this helps, if so please rate our solution.

It's an incredibly frustrating problem. One thing that worked for me was to:

1. shut down the printer by pulling out the power source
2. make sure to push output tray down as far as it can go

UNPLUG THE POWER CORD FROM THE BACK OF THE PRINTER LET IT SIT FOR 2 MINS UNPLUGGED THEN RECONNECT THE POWER CORD AND TURN THE PRINTER BACK ON. THAT SHOULD REFRESH THE PRINTER

are using a refilled cartridge?
if yes, install an actual brand new one.

are you using an official cartridge that you've had laying around for a while?
the cartridges expire so check if your cartridge has expired and replaced accordingly.

Hi,

The ink absorber is the part that needs to be replaced. It is part of the printer itself and not the cartridges. It needs to be done by a technician unless you have experience with doing it otherwise it can seriously damage the machine.

Go to menu option and choose the option fax and set the parameter like auto receive or manual set the ring auto answer mode after certain ring. If it is in auto receiving mode it will receive the fax after the ring which you set. Make sure the phone wire which you insert in fax machine getting proper dial tone and getting out going calling facility.
Hope this helps. Please rate my response.
Thanks.
Have a good day.

Hi there

You need a program that you can use on your PC with this program you scan it to your PC and then print it out, ok you need a program like art or photo or paint or some thing like this that have a scan in it.

Read more below.
The best program to put on your Pc is what I use and it is Free you, it is called PagePluse SE, you should try it you can do all sort of things with it but there no scan on it, just scan your photos to the your pc with another program witch has scan on it and put them in the SE program and you can do any size you wont and after adding text to it or backgrounds you can send it to the printer and print, an other program I use for scanning from the printer to the PC is called PainShop Pro 7 witch is a old program there newer ones out now but I am happy just using the old one it does the trick.

The Free version is Called PagePluse SE you not need the version 9.

Ok here the link to download the PagePluse SE program and it not a free trial it a free, there is one you can Buy but this is all you need download the free one it just as good.

Hi there
Yes you need all inks to be working or printer not work

Hello there
You may not see a paper jam.

This may work for you, it has worked for many here I given this advice so gave it a try it could work for you. Generally when this happens, something has fallen into the printer, or a piece of paper has been jammed in there.

First step, remove the ink cartridge, and turn the printer upside down and gently shake it, see if anything comes out.

If nothing goes, or you can't hear anything rattling around, get a piece of cardstock paper (60lb or heavier) and gently push this through the printer, to see if it will help push out what might be stuck in there.
And gave the rode that the ink slides on a good clean and maybe a bit oil on cloth and wipe the rod with it.
