Hp photosmart 3310

Hi,

Sorry for the delay. Does this problem occurs when you updated your printer driver?
Did ever this printer worked fine in vista or win 7 other than XP?

Any way from your question I think its a driver related problem. You need to uninstall the hp driver completely or uninstall each separately (like printer, scanner, etc) how many hp softwareze are there in the add or remove uninstall everything.
Or use this hp cleaning ultility here. this software will clean all the left back files of hp and will be able to make a new clean install. Restart the computer after this.
After that download and install your driver from here . If possible install printer scanner photosmart drivers separately. Again restart the computer.

Now do a resetting by :Reset the system by holding down the OK, Cancel, Black, and Color buttons down at the same time and turn the 3310 off. Keep holding the buttons down until the printer shuts off and then turn it back on. You will have to turn the printer off twice and then it will recalibrate.

hope this helps, plesae feel to coontact if still the problem persists, thanks for using fixya.com!

You probably need a new printer.

need to hook up printer to computer. The software I had I threw it away. The printer model number is 4126-005. The serial number is 02320543500 2006/08.

I've seen this a few times with Vista but each time it seems to be something different. The first thing to be done is make sure you have all the current Vista updates and including SP1. Once that is done I would completely uninstall the HP software. Then download the latest version of software from HP and install. Vista has alot of qwerks that sometimes defy answers.

Here is a link to the Hp Website where you can find the Proper Drivers and Software
Be sure to select the proper OS (i.e. Vista, Vista 64 bit) berfore downloading and instaling
There are two models, Check your printer model number and select the correct link.

Toi uninstallthe old driver,
1.) ensure your printer is connected to the computer and its powered on
2.) click start, right click mycomputer, click properties
3.) click hardware tab, then click device manager
4.) click view then show hidden devices
5.) the printer will show up on the left in the tree view,
6.) right click it and click uninstall
7.) immidately unplug your printer
8.) restart and install new driver..
9.) when it ask your to plug your printer in then do so..
10.) sigh of relief

Sounds like another Vista Bug, i would check the HP site for this issue and if its under warranty, contact HP. If you have alot of Blue tooth devices hooked up, it may be that its trying to use another device in its place or the signals are getting crossed, im not positive.

Its like when you have to many network drives all hooked up and you plug in a USB device, Windows pops up those anoying bubles saying its detected, but in My computer it doesnt show.

So bassically you have to right click my computer, manage, disk management listed uder storage, right click on the device or drive and change the drive letter to something like " W" or " Z" or anything not in use.

It may be a siomilar case with your bluetooth, youo may have to much stuff connected. Try redoing everything like you have so many other times before, and then limiting how many bluetooth devices you have connected at the same time. see if theres a difference.

Hope this helps.

Try running antispyware and virus program to eliminate this, housecall is online, thorough and free. It removes it too. Try and see if updating the actual drivers help off HP website. Check settings to see if it is not accidentally set to only print test page or to work offline or similar, uncheck tabs if they are.
