I have a 8250 Photosmart printer , it was working fine until 3 days ago, noticed more reddish black where there should be black. Cartridges showing good, waht could be my problem?

Sometimes the cartridge will show "good" when they actually need to be replaced. Try printing a test page, cleaning the ink nozzles, and if the problem persists, replace the ink cartridges.

Printing from Elements 6 w/ HP 8250, image pushed to left.

I wish I did have a solution. Photoshop Elements 7 exhibits the same problem. They obviously broke something. I have to use an old version of Photoshop Elements 4 just to print properly. I am a tech support professional, uninstalled all HP software, re-installed latest drivers and problem persists. Sucks.

My HP printer spits out a blank page before printing document

I had same problem with hp psc 2410 all-in-one. Finally ran "HP all-in-one Series Web Release Uninstaller version: 4.1.1.00.1332 (3/20/2007) that I had downloaded several years ago. Then plug and play took over and installed the correct driver that Vista kept insisting I already had.

Error reading SDHC flash card in a HP Photosmart 8250 printer.

Purchase a SDHC to USB media converter (e.g. SanDisk
M/N SDDR-113-A10M), which allows you to plug that SDHC
memory card into the printer via the USB port.
