20 Most Recent HP Photosmart C7280 Laser Printer Questions & Answers

Hi Lisa,

If it responds ok with the old cartridge then the problem is with the cartridges' chip not the printer. Probably the manufactor has a problem with certain cartridge chip (contact them!). I would suggest to use the original at the problematic spot if it works without a problem.

There may be nothing you can do about it. A lot of the HP printers make a lot of noise as they start up or prepare to print. Has your printer always made this noise or did it just start?

Ok, I too have HP Photosmart 7280 and it was spit'g out a blank page after each print page.
I went into the Control Panel/Printers - Right click on the HP Photosmart 7200 series icon and choose delete. Don't worry...just delete it.
Right above (Vista) click on Add a Printer - it's going to ask you if you want to add a local printer which is connected via USB connection or if you are set up wireless then choose Network
It will find your printer click on the printer hit next - then this is the most important step
It will ask you to find the manufacturer it shows Hewlett-Packard and underneath it shows HP - Do not click on HP - you'll have the same problem with that driver - choose Hewlett-Packard and find this driver HP Photosmart C7200 series Version 61.71.244.0 [3/23/07]
Hopefully they are all digitally signed with this information.
Click on that driver and click next - then click on replace the current driver and click next.
Print a test page and problem should be solved. Hope it helped!

Have you run the Wireless setup wizard from Printer ? If No, Press Setup button on printer front panel - Scroll till Wireless/Network settings - Choose Wireless setup Wizard and follow the directions.

After you have setup printer on network - Run the Printer s/w disk and Choose Add a Device and Choose Wired/Wireless network and continue with the Installation screen.

Sorry, this isn't ASAP, but here's a solution on HP's website.

The most important part of this is taking off the rear door / duplexer and cleaning the two rollers that you can just see inside the printer with the back off. Those two rollers inside the back of the printer (not the ones in the door or the ones hanging out the back when you take off the rear door) are the ones that pick up the paper and feed it up into the printer. Those rollers are hard to get to - long qtips are strongly suggested. If those get rollers dust or gunk on them, they get smooth and don't pick up paper as well.

Usually when this happens you need to clean the rollers that pick up the paper from your paper tray. This video shows you how to fix that...

If you get an 'out of paper' message when you do have paper loaded, this video will help. Following the steps of this video, you'll see if there's paper jammed in the printer.

Hope this helps! ">
