Question about HP PSC 1510 All-In-One InkJet Printer

Scanner & black pages

Scanner/photocopier started printing out all black pages either choosing color print or black. Also makes terrible scraping noise as paper comes out. Light passes across glass fine when scanning/photocopying. Prints fine from computer. Would a faulty cartridge be a problem? Why would it do that all of a sudden. Only use in a few times per week. - A little over 1 year old Thanks

Thank you for your help. Would this problem be hard/expensive to fix? Can I fix imaging device inside camera or reflector myself?

thanks jr

My C8180 Photosmart prints fine BUT if you scan or photocopy there is a huge black strip running the full length of the paper. I checked the scanner with the lid up and the strip light is fully lit across it's whole length ... This has not been a gradual thing it just happened without warning. I have followed the instructions of switching every off and unplugging and used the clean the print heads etc but nothing has changed.

The black printing usualy occurs when there is a faillure in the light, since your light is working fine, there may be a problem in the imaging device inside(camera) or the reflector. There is nothing wrong with the cartridge.

In your printer preferences advanced settings drop down the arrow next to grey scale choose black ink only. If it still has the same problem change the Cartridges.

What would make a printer only when making a copy or scanning put blue on paper? When printing its not there why?

The Dell 3115 (and Xerox 6180 multifunction, and Lexmark X560) all have a common problem with the INSIDE surface of the scanner platen attracting a deposit. This makes it a little 'cloudy' to look at, and produces a bluish tint to colour photocopies.

Print a test page from the printer that includes colours from all four cartridges. Then make 2 photocopies - one using the document feeder, and one using the flatbed. One may be better than the other - as a work-around.

The REAL solution is to clean the inside of the scanner platen (glass), but you must be very careful, otherwise you'll trash the printer. It is a very complex procedure to remove the scanner platen completely. It can (with great care) be lifted from the front, being very careful not to strain the cables. It can be cleaned successfully.

HOW DO I MAKE A COPY FROM A COPY ON MY HP 2420

You cannot make a copy if you are thinking of it like a photocopier. It doesn't have a scanner built into it .
If this is what you are thinking there are several quite excellent scanners out there fairly cheap. The scanner will come with software that will make it and the printer behave like a photocopier. The scanner we use at home even has a button that we just press to scan and print a copy as well as software that gives more options.

If you want to just print multiple copies of the page then this you can do. You just have to go to print options on a program menu and tell it to print the page how many times you need. You can also change the number on the printer driver but if you don;t set it back after everything after is going to print a few extra copies.

How do I make copies

What do you mean by copies? Like printing 1 page in more than 1 copy?

In the Print dialog box (when you click the File => Print command), You can increase the number of copies to be printed in just one printing.

If your printer is multi-function (one printer that can scan, copy, and print), just place the document to be copied (photocopy) in the scanner tray, cover it and then PRESS the OK. In some models, it is MONO or COLOR under START button group.

Lines rule across my print out paper at photocopying mode

Make sure you don't have a scratch on the glass of the scanner. If you have a mark, or scratch that matches the line ruled on your print, then there is your problem.

It;s also possible the scanner is jerking as it goes across the bed, which is causing the line. Is the line solid, dashed, bold, thin or just kinda there?

Gray backround

Does your scanner software give the option to choose different modes...grayscale, color, black & white?? This sounds like it's scanning in grayscale....if you can change it to black & white, the background should remain white.
