Oficejet v40xi only prints partial documents then "disconnects"
I have an HP OfficeJet v40xi multi-function printer, fax, scanner, copier. I am running Windows XP Professional v3 on a Lenovo Thinkpad My problem is that often when I am printing something (a color photo or even just a word document) it will print half of it, then an error message pops up saying "This document failed to print." Sometimes it happens after printing only a paragraph, sometimes it prints fine for 2 full pages then it will quit. Sometimes it doesn't happen at all. I have wasted a ton of photo paper and color ink on half-printed pictures! My usb connection is fine.
Re: Oficejet v40xi only prints partial documents then...
XP the virus magnet where anything can happen bad, and DOES !
why run 15year old OS.? why not upgrade.?
The Lenovo stinkpad. (was IBM)
why not move the printer to another PC, ? to prove printers bad

This printer is not supported by HP under Mac OSX. You may be able to get it to print with limited functionality suing a generic driver, but none of the specialized functions such as scanning will work.
However, installing an emulater program such as VMWare or Parallels will allow you to run Windows on your Macbook. You could then download the driver from HP's website here:

and use the printer from within Windows.
I hope this helps!
When printing from the microsoft word document, make sure the printer selected is right. By that, i mean the default printer selected in the printers icon under the control panel should be HP OfficeJet 6100 series and not HP OfficeJet 6100 fax.
So the reason why this message comes up " scanner failure ". is you are either selecting a wrong printer when printing from microsoft word document or probably the printer port is not selected right.
To check the printer port.
Click on start-->control panel-->printer & faxes-->right click on HP OfficeJet 6100 series--> select properties-->Select the top tab called ports-->
Check the ports selected here.
If you have a USB connected printer it should be your printer model with USB settings.
If you have a wireless connected printer it should be your printer model with wireless settings like IP address.
If its connected to the computer and you are tring to scan it there you might have to see if there are any updates to the driver software or you might just be missing the one for the scanner part of it.
The printer hp officejet v40xi is asking for a cartridge alignment. When I press enter the printer does nothing want take paper or engage the paper nothing
The easiest thing to do is a system restore; it will restore all of your computers settings to a point before the software was changed. Go to start, programs, accessories, system tools, system restore.
Folow the onscreen prompts and select a day prior to the day the scanner stopped working. It will reboot, then restore. Then your computer should be just like it was.
The first thing u need to do is to confirm that u have enough ink remaining in ur cartridges.If that does not work uninstall ur software,restart pc and the re-install it again
