November 30th, 2012 2 comments

hello, i have just installed new ink cartrige to my hp deskjet printer. from previous troubles i had the printer paused and i forgot about this. after inserting the cartrige i was offered to align the printer but i messed with it. it printed the test page and also the aligning sheet but i cannot set the correct parametres anymore. how can i try it again? it does not print badly, but just to do it correctly.

many thanx.

Disconnect the Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable from the back of the product, but leave the product turned on

Open the cover of the product and remove the print cartridges

Close the cover and wait for the Insert Ink Cartridges message to display

Disconnect the power cord from the back of the product and wait for one minute

Reconnect the power cord. If the product does not automatically turn on, press the Power button

Open the cover and reinsert the print cartridges

Close the cover. If prompted, print a calibration page.
Reconnect the USB cable, and try to print a print job from the computer

Where can I buy printer labels that are oval shaped with ruffle edges?

November 28th, 2012 1 comment

It is supposed to be a label that I can print with my deskjet printer.

It should be a oval shaped label with ruffles (with many peaked edges running the length of the label)

Use item number AVE5995 in Google and see if that works for you?

Why won’t my HP Deskjet 6980 printer turn on when it is connected to a main power supply?

I plug my HP Deskjet 6980 printer into the main power supply, then press the power button but it doesn’t turn on. What do I do?

Make sure it is properly connected to the printer

You may want to try in a different outlet or, just unplug it for about 10 minutes to see if it will reset

My printer won’t print anything I send to it, but all connections are good, including through the control pane?

I have an HP deskjet printer. The paper light began to flash even though there was paper loaded. So I turned it off and on again. The power button then started to flash and it only is printing like a binary code on random pieces of paper it keeps pulling through. What do I do?

Double check all the drivers. HPs are notorious for being difficult to install. If this is a new printer then you’ll want to follow the install instructions specifically. For some reason they absolutely require very specific steps and you need to plug it in only after loading the drivers.

Is it okay to use the wrong ink cartridge in a printer?

My mom bought me ink for an hp deskjet printer, but my printer code (F4280) isn’t listed on the side of the box where the codes are listed. I had already opened it when I figured this out and the cartridge fits in my printer. Will it be bad for my printer if I use this cartridge, or will my printer even work with this cartridge?

There’s only one way to find out – try it. If it fits it should be fine.

How do I add a printer to a wireless network?

November 12th, 2012 1 comment

We have 2 computers, a desktop (Dell running XP) and a laptop (Compaq running Vista). The HP deskjet printer is currently attached to the desktop. How can I get it so I can print from the laptop over the wireless network. I have a Netgear router. I tried using the sharing options on Windows, but it lets me choose the printer, but nothing ever prints. Help?

The typical way to share a printer between multiple computers on a small wireless network is to connect the printer to one of the computers, and then enable it to be shared across the network. The major problem with this method, however, is that the host computer for the printer must be turned on and configured correctly for other computers to be able to print. Even when this is the case, however, glitches tend to happen in the network or the host computer’s operating system that make wireless network printing unreliable at best. Fortunately, there is a better way to share a printer, by using a device known as a wireless print server. This device can make nearly any USB printer wireless and reliably available to the network.

Instructions :-

1.
Obtain a wireless print server that is compatible with both your wireless network and your printer. While the printer’s documentation may not explicitly say that it is compatible with a print sever, many are compatible, and this can be verified by checking the website of the print server’s manufacturer. If you have a multifunction printer, only the print function will work with most wireless print servers, though a few have recently added support for scanning and the printer’s other functions.
2.
Read all of the documentation that came with the wireless print server. The manual will detail the specifics of the installation routine.
3.
Connect the printer to the wireless print server via the USB cable. Connect the print server’s AC adapter and turn the unit on.
4.
Connect an Ethernet cable between the wireless print server and your computer. This will be used for the initial setup only.
5.
Insert the CD supplied with the print server into your CD-Rom drive. Start the software if it does not start automatically. The application will walk you through the installation process, which includes setting the unit’s IP address, setting an access password, configuring it to connect to the wireless network, installing the drivers that allow the print server to use the printer and installing the print drivers on your computers.
6.
Choose how your print server will be addressed. Most units are set up to use dynamic addressing by default, which means that your wireless router will assign an IP address to it. This allows the server to be easily installed on the network, but it also means that the IP address of the printer may change over time. The other option is to assign a static IP address to your print server. This option is more reliable, because the print server will always use the same IP address, making it easier for the computers to find the printer and easier to access the print server’s online configuration application. If your router has the IP address of 192.168.0.1, for instance, set the print server to something like 192.168.0.2 or 192.168.0.3, as long as another device does not use that address.
7.
Set a password to be used to access the unit’s online configuration application.
8.
Configure the print server to access your wireless network. Give it the same SSID network name as your router and set it to use the same wireless channel. If encryption is used on the router, enable encryption on the print server, and enter the encryption key or password.
9.
Follow the instructions given by the print server’s software for installing printer drivers on the unit.
10.
Disconnect the Ethernet cable and allow the unit to connect via the wireless network.
11.
Install the printing drivers on each computer that will use the printer.
12.
Access the print server’s online configuration application to verify all settings by entering the IP address of the unit into a web browser, using the “http://192.168.0.2” format. Enter the administrator name and password.
