I had a Hewlett Packard before I got my Canon. It was a parade of non stop problems from the get go for me. Don't think I ran into your particular problem, though. I was going to kinda tongue in cheek suggest turning it off and on, but you've already covered that, lol. Good luck.

Check for a driver update? Uninstall and then reinstall the driver?

It does sound like a driver issue.

Was going to let this die, but since people are taking the trouble to think about it and respond.
It looks to be a wonky cartridge. Never figured out why it printed out OK from the panel, but not the PC. But the old cartridge wasn't completely empty. So I reinstalled it, and it still works fully with its remaining ink. So I'll try a different cartridge when the existing one runs out. In sum, I don't have a solution, but I mooted the problem, at least for now. |

you have more damn printer and computer issues. remember - both ink cart (itself) and the interior wall of printer BOTH have sensors that mesh-up, this is almost always the case.

Your problem lies within Windows.

I don't think I have that many more than any long time regular user. A lot of my issues I figure out elsewhere. I just throw up here the ones that don't seem to be answered elsewhere.
My last problem with my portable drive turned out to be a fairly common one with certain drives in Windows 10, it just happened to me before anyone started talking about it online, so I asked about it here to see if anyone had any solutions. Mostly it's just brainstorming. They're not like some people here who post the periodic 'hey I clicked on something from a Nigerian prince and now the power is out for my whole neighborhood. Please help immediately!!' It's more 'I have this weird thing I'm trying to figure out and no one seems to be discussing it elsewhere, if anyone has insights, I'd appreciate them.' As for this one, I have fully functioning printer back by putting in the old cartridge. Eventually, it will have to be replaced. If the one I tried previously still doesn't work, I have a few more new cartridges stocked up. If none of them work, I'll cross that bridge then. The working premise right now, is that the 'new' cartridge was either defective, or most of the ink dried up in it while in the package. Last edited by Baby Lee; 10-27-2017 at 03:21 PM.. |

For future trouble shooting to determine hardware or driver issue
print tests dont need drivers HP Photosmart 7550, 7700, 7960, 8150 and 8450 series printers Ensure that the memory card has been removed from the memory card slot. Make sure plain paper is loaded in the In Tray. Press the Menu button. Press the Up/Down arrow button to display the Tools menu. Then press the OK button. Press the Down arrow button to highlight Print a Test Page. Then press the OK button. |
