    General troubleshooting tips and resources
    NOTE:Many of the steps below require HP software. If you did not install the HP
    software, you can install it using the HP software CD included with the printer, or
    you can download the software from the HP support Web site (
    www.hp.com/
    support).
    Try these when you begin troubleshooting a printing problem.
    • For a paper jam, see 
    Clear paper jams.
    • For paper-feed problems, such as the paper skew and paper pick, see 
    Solve
    paper-feed problems.
    • Power light is on and not blinking. When the printer is turned on for the first time, it
    takes approximately 12 minutes to initialize it after the ink cartridges are installed.
    • Power cord and other cables are working, and are firmly connected to the printer.
    Make sure the printer is connected firmly to a functioning alternating current (AC)
    power outlet, and is turned on. For voltage requirements, see 
    Electrical
    requirements.
    • Media is loaded correctly in the input tray and is not jammed in the printer.
    • All packing tapes and materials are removed.
    • The printer is set as the current or default printer. For Windows, set it as the default
    in the Printers folder. For Mac OS X, set it as the default in the Print & Fax section
    of the System Preferences. See your computers documentation for more
    information.
    •Pause Printing is not selected if you are using a computer running Windows.
    • You are not running too many programs when you are performing a task. Close
    programs that you are not using or restart the computer before attempting the task
    again.

    The printer shuts down unexpectedly
    Check the power and power connections
    Make sure the printer is connected firmly to a functioning alternating current (AC)
    power outlet. For voltage requirements, see 
    Electrical requirements.
    Alignment fails
    If the alignment page appears to be only partially printed, or if it has light or white
    streaks, try cleaning the printhead.
    If the alignment process fails, make sure you have loaded unused, plain white paper
    into the input tray. If you have colored paper loaded in the input tray when you align the
    ink cartridges, the alignment fails.
    If the alignment process fails repeatedly, you might have a defective sensor or ink
    cartridge. Contact HP support. Go to 
    www.hp.com/support. If prompted, select your
    country/region, and then click Contact HP for information on calling for technical
    support.
    Printer takes a long time to print
    Check the system configuration and resources
    Make sure the computer meets the minimum system requirements for the printer. For
    more information, see 
    System requirements.
    Check the HP software settings
    Print speed is slower when you select high print-quality settings. To increase the print
    speed, select different print settings in the printer driver. For more information, see
    Print.
    Check the ink cartridge levels
    If a cartridge is completely out of ink, the printer may slow down to keep the printhead
    from overheating.

    							Something on the page is missing or incorrect
    Check the ink cartridges
    Make sure the correct ink cartridges are installed and the ink cartridges are not low on
    ink. For more information, see 
    Check the estimated ink levels.
    Check the margin settings
    Make sure the margin settings for the document do not exceed the printable area of the
    printer. For more information, see 
    Set minimum margins.
    Check the color print settings
    Make sure Print in Grayscale is not selected in the printer driver.
    Check the printer location and length of USB cable
    High electromagnetic fields (such as those generated by USB cables) can sometimes
    cause slight distortions to printouts. Move the printer away from the source of the
    electromagnetic fields. Also, it is recommended that you use a USB cable that is less
    than 3 meters (9.8 feet) long to minimize the effects of these electromagnetic fields.

    is turned off. Make sure the power cord is firmly connected to the printer and
    plugged into a power outlet. Press the Power button to turn on the printer.

    Print troubleshooting 85
     
    						
    							Solution 4: Check the printer driver status
    Solution:The printer driver status might have changed to either offline or stop
    printing.
    To check the printer driver status
    •Windows: In the HP printer software, click Printer Actions, and then click See
    Whats Printing.
    •Mac OS: Open System Preferences, and then click Print & Fax. Open the
    print queue for your printer.
    Cause:The status of the printer driver had changed.
    If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
    Solution 5: Wait until the printer completes the current operation
    Solution:If the printer is performing another task your print job is delayed until
    the printer completes the current task.
    Some documents take a long time to print. If nothing has printed several minutes
    after you sent a print job to the printer, check the printers control panel to see if
    there are any errors.
    Cause:The printer was busy with another task.
    If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
    Solution 6: Remove all cancelled print jobs from the queue
    Solution:A print job might remain in the queue after it has been cancelled. The
    cancelled print job jams the queue and prevents the next print job from printing.
    From your computer, open the printer folder and see if the cancelled job remains in
    the print queue. Try to delete the job from the queue. If the print job remains in the
    queue, try one or both of the following:
    • If the printer is connected with a USB cable, disconnect the cable from the
    printer, restart the computer, and then reconnect the USB cable to the printer.
    • Shut down the printer, restart the computer, and then restart the printer.
    Cause:A deleted print job was in the queue.
    If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
    Solution 7: Clear the paper jam
    Solution:Clear the paper jam and remove any torn paper that remains in the
    printer.
    For more information, see:
    Clear jams
    Cause:The printer had a paper jam.
