You need two cables - one for power and the other for data. The USB cable is easy to replace at most stores with computer accessories. You need a cable with A/B male ends (standard USB cable). If you need the power cable, that may be harder without contacting HP. The end of the power cable may be specific to HP.

I hope this helps.

(Even Walmart has USB cables. HP recommends using a cable that is no longer than 6'.)

My printer is not printing

Without knowing any more, all I can do is take you through a tedious set of steps:
  1. Is it plugged in? Unplug the power cord at both ends, then plug it back in.
  2. Is it connected to your computer? Unplug the cord at both ends, then plug it back in.
  3. Is it turned on? Press the power button. Do any lights change (go on or off, change color, flash, etc.)?
  4. Send a print job to the printer. Does the printer show any signs of realizing it's been asked to print something (an indicator light or something moving inside)?
  5. Open the print queue. Delete all the jobs that are in there. Shut down the printer. Restart the computer. Turn the printer back on. Try printing.
  6. Are you getting error messages?
  7. What happened before it stopped working? Did you install new software? Move anything?

I have an HP PSC1610 printer that was given to me. Somehow in the process of moving things around I seem to have lost the short cord that plugs in to the power source - the typical 3 prong housepower plug...

You can source the power plug from any Computer accessories center. The short and the long type can be bought from any of these shops.
You don't have to wait for the part to be sourced from HP service unless it is closer to your place.

I am getting 'carriage Jam' message and being told to clear it. but i dont know how

Hi

1. Open the cartridge access door and try to move carriage manually back and forth.

If issue not resloved

2. Unplug the power cord from the back of the printer and while the printer is tuned On, Now press and hold OK and CANCEL, while holding them plug in the power cord once the printer is On release the buttons

This will RESET your printer to factory settings and it should fix your problem

Note : As I told you that it will Reset your printer to Factory Settings so if you have IP address saved in it then it will deleted.

HP 2600n Lost Power Cord

It is a standard printer/pc cord. Kinda looks like a D shape with the 3 terminals in it. Trust me here if you have one of these cords and it fits into the HP's power port then it is fine.

Printer wont print anything

Did you mean just the cord was repaired or did you get a new pc??? Many times, once a computer is unhooked and transported to be repaired, sensitive settings and drivers can be upset by the move. Sounds bizarre but i know it happens because it even happens to me. The other thing is did anything get done to the internals of your pc, or the software changed. This is really important too. ie, did the repairer have to change any settings in the pc, in windows or any where. Please post exact changes if any. If no settings were touched and it was just the cord, i suggest completely uninstalling the printer from the pc. If you do not know how to do this, post back. Once all traces are removed, reinstall it. Make sure printer is completely uninstalled and new installation is smoothe and no hiccups. Now connect back up correctly and turn on. Your pc should recognise new hardware and configure it for you and away you go.
