My HP printer keeps giving a false reading that it is out of paper .?

How do I stop this ? Sometimes just pushing ';OK'; does it -but then it stops after each page and says to refill .My HP printer keeps giving a false reading that it is out of paper .?
Please let me know the model number of your printer,





First try,





Click ';Start'; button on left side of the Desktop to popup Start menu, Click ';Run'; in Start menu to open Run window. Type the word ';SERVICES.MSC'; (without quotes) in ';Open :'; box, click ok button or press Enter key on the keyboard. A Window will pop up with so many Services listed. Find ';PRINT SPOOLER'; service from the list of services. right-click on ';PRINT SPOOLER';---%26gt;';restart';





If this doesnt work.... Click on the following link to open a webpage with title ';HP Photosmart, All-in-One, Deskjet, and PSC Printers - 'Out of Paper' Error Message and the Printer Does Not Pick Up or Feed Paper';

bay new one
this is actually a tray problem. please try communicating with hp engineers on online chat.
probably the sensor that detects the paper in the tray is bad or you can try and resetting the printer back to factory settings. this usually involves a pin or a needle to push in the switch while powering back on the unit. you could always call HP, they have great service.
sounds like it need a bloody good clean out of paper dust-the tiny fibres of paper that you get usually more so off of cheap printer paper. try blowing out the dust but be carefull not to blow it further into the printer
there's a small sensor for every consumable that a printer uses, including paper. look for the sensor that actuates inside the paper tray when nothing is there. make sure that it is mounted properly and functions normally. most sensors like this are a small plastic arm that comes down on top of the paper. make sure there are no obstructions and try flipping it a couple times while the printer is on and see if the printer detects this.
make sure the paper is inserted properly. make sure everything else on the printer is working properly.
my paper keeps disapearing and no one will fess up.
Actually, I had this problem myself. Try unistalling the software, reboot a couple of times, and then reinstall the software.
I guess u do not have any error msg on the printer as such....


Solution


1)Go to control panel --%26gt;%26gt; Printers and Faxes


2)Delete the Icon For u'r Printer


3)Unplug the USB cable ...


4)insert the Printer Disc..


5)When the installation window pops up ,select ';ADD A DEVICE';


Follow the on screen insrtuction....Complete Installation

I would suggest opening the associated application. Normally printers come with a management application that will allow you to see what's goin on with your printer and to do diagnostics. Although it's a bit far fetched, considering ur problem, make sure that ur ink cartridges are calibrated. That is something that should be in the management application as well.
