I tried to use my printer (hp 2115) after installing many other programmes and not using the printer for a while. It prints from excel not word, when it does print from word it only prints one line of the wrong font size then spits out lots of paper. I have Vista.

By any chance are you using PCL6?
Change to PCL5 and try it.

Follow the instructions at the following link to install the Windows Vista driver for your printer:

After that, download & install the HP Software Update Utility:

Contacted HP Chat support. After investigating a bit they had me add a new printer using the virtual USB port and designating that printer as the HP OfficeJet 6500 E709A series. I did so and made that the default printer. Immediately Word, Excel and Adobe documents were once again printing.

I have an HP 6110 is always has a grinding noise.No functions work. HP just want me to buy a new machine. They are bad quality 3 in one's. That is for sure.

need to install printer driver again.
download free http://www.nodevice.com/driver/Deskjet_5740/get39181.htmlm here then install.

did you choose the name of your printer in the printer option when printing in the other programs?...try it...else maybe you need to wait while your printer spool... or is it compatible with the program you are using?

if cleaning wont work & cartridges are most 6 mos, trying a different cartridge will fix it

Hi, this is a configuration problem, the printer crops anything trying to be printed near the end of the page. Increase the margins or put the page numbers up in the page.
It happens in MSWord too cutting in the middle the page numbers-

Try selecting the image you want to print by holding the left mouse button down and moving it over the text once you have done that goto file print select the correct printer half way down you should have page, pages, or selection choose selection and then print.

Hope this is of help to you please rate me
Cheers J
