Solution: The printer driver status might have changed to either offline or stop
printing
.

To check the printer driver status

1.

In the HP Solution Center, click the device tab.

2.

Click Settings.

3.

Click Status.
If the status is offline or stop printing, change the status to ready.

Cause: A deleted print job is still in 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:

Disconnect the USB cable from the HP Photosmart, restart the computer, and
then reconnect the USB cable to the HP Photosmart.

Shut down the HP Photosmart, restart the computer, and then restart the
HP Photosmart.

The HP Photosmart prints meaningless characters

Cause: There is no more available memory in the HP Photosmart.
Solution: Turn off the HP Photosmart and your computer for 60 seconds, then turn
them both on and try printing again.

Cause: The document is corrupt.
Solution: Try printing another document from the same software application. If this
works, then try printing a previously saved version of the document that is not corrupt.

Nothing happens when I try to print

Cause: The HP Photosmart is turned off.
Solution: Look at the On button located on the top of the HP Photosmart. If it is not
lit, the HP Photosmart is turned off. Make sure the power cord is firmly connected to
the HP Photosmart and plugged into a power outlet. Press the On button to turn on
the HP Photosmart.

Cause: The HP Photosmart is busy with another task.
Solution: Some documents take a long time to print. If nothing has printed several
minutes after you sent a print job to the HP Photosmart, check your computer to see
if there are any messages.

Cause: The HP Photosmart is not the selected printer.
