Did you peel the tape off of the cartridges?

Did you try this from HP.

I also suggest you remove the back door & clean the wheels with a clean no lint water dampend rag. Replace the door.

A good self test page indicates that the printer and print cartridges are functioning properly. Something else is causing the print quality problem
Here is a document on this problem:

keep the printer ON.then open the flap on the front side.there is a small gap made in the flap to get it opened.as u open the flap the cartridges will automatically move and come in the position where u can remove the cartridges.just pull the cartridge to the dwn side near to you and it will come out.in the same way insert the new cartridge.

just arrange the setting in the property menu...

Hello, well, several users have been kind enough to offer advice regarding this problem. The only thing that really seems to work at all is slamming the cover with a bit of force. Of course, please don't use to much force here. It seems that closing the cover is supposed to trigger a mechanism that will let the printer know. Apparently this mechanism is defective on the HP photosmart. So you just need to make your point with a bit of force when closing that cover. It may take a couple of tries, but it seems to work.

Hope that helps!

I have had this problem also and have found that instead of "dropping the cover hard" I can just give the "sensor area" on the left side of the cover a sharp rap with my finger and the light goes off.

first check the usb cable of the printer and try to use other cable. if did not work try to download and re-install the driver of the printer.

Primero que nada, muchas gracias por tu pregunta y por darme la oportunidad de despejar (o ampliar) una duda tuya.

Cuando en un modelo de hardware dice que es la Serie 5100, significa que hay mas "subseries" de modelos en esa misma base de hardware, digamos que la 5100 es la básica y la 5160 la tienes tu y tiene un puerto de USB cuando la 5120 no la tiene. Es un ejemplo.

Otro, en cuanto a laptops HP. La serie Pavilion dv8000 tiene varios modelos, la dv8360 tiene 512 MB de RAM mientras que la dv8600 tiene 2GB y cuenta con bluetooth.

Las placas de hardware son una base para crear mas modelos, le quitan o le aumentan algo, pero fisicamente son similares.

Esto contesta tu pregunta?

Recibe un cordial saludo desde Mexico.

seems to have sorted its self out now i just kept turning it on and off and trying to print off test pages and things, still not 100% but works of its own accord lol

If you are using windows XP for the operating system try this.
Left click once on the start button, slide to & left click once on printers and faxes. In the printers and faxes window right click once on you're default printer HP 5160 slide to & left click properties. In the next window click the button, printing preferences. Change the printer's settings in this window. After making changes, click apply & Ok.

Make sure you are using HP's most up to date software for you're printer. Click this link & follow the instruction on the web.

If you are running window Vista, check Vista for updates. Make sure you're printer is turned on while updating.

Good Luck!

see whether your printer is capable of using other hp cartridge.it may be the same on physical appearance but check it on the manual of your printer if you could use 97 as a replacement cartridge

I would take look at printer settings to see if this is an optional feature; some printers I've had offered to insert a 'separator sheet' which sounds a lot like your 'problem.'

Open the Control Panel, find and open (whatever your Win version has named it) the printer function, find the D5160 (there might be others listed), right-click on it, select Properties from the menu and go through the tabs to see if you find functions listed that might affect your wasted sheet problem.

If you find nothing there, I suggest you check to see if there is a more current driver you can install.
If not, UNinstall the current driver, shut down your system leaving the printer on, turn your system back on which should force Windows to reinstall the existing driver.

That unwanted form feed you are getting only requires a couple of bits sent to the printer to activate.

Remove the black cartridge, look very closely for any scratches on the contacts. Also check inside of the ink holder. Even fingerprints can stop the hp from seeing the cartridge.
Make sure you follow these instructions from HP here.

And this happends, sometimes a new cartridge can be bad right out of the box. This has happend to me too.

No, that is telling you that the website that was linked has removed the information. Everything stays on Fixya forever. This seems to be about and HP Printer rather than 'Computers and Internet'. https://www.google.com/search?q=3210+all+in+one+has+a+Error%3A0xc2fe0100+and+438+BOARD_pwr.c Use Google and do this in full make model (one error message) Then do the same with the other error message ..
