myHP DeskJet 2630 is working fine over USB, and HP smart sets it up just fine on my phone and laptop and all the diagnostics pages i've printed out show that it connected to my wifi, same network as my laptop.. But the wifi printer, if I can even manage to find it because usually windows can't find any printers on my network, always shows offline and I can't print on it! If i try it will not do anything. I've tried everything i can think of, and the manual IP fix i tried didn't work because the EWS of the printer will not load on Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge Chromium. Please help!!

Thanks a lot for getting back to me! I tried all of it along with every step in the link you sent apart from giving the printer an IP manually since the printer embedded web server URL does not work. Same issue. Any ideas?


Thanks for your return,



I recommend that you do not connect the printer with the USB cable to the computer during the following steps. Do not connect the USB cable when the printer is connected to the wireless network, as this may cause conflicts in the network connection.



Also, make sure your computer is connected to a 2.4 GHz wireless network, as your printer only supports this type of network.






Well, that is somewhat dumb for a printer seemingly so new. Anyways, I think my laptop doesn't support 5g but I separated the names of my 2.4g and 5g wifi signals and tried again on the new 2.4g network with the steps you described (all worked) but no luck. I've got a feeling it's broken but I don't know since it connects just fine


Woah i had no idea i could access it over USB! I tried setting a manual IP (the choose an IP automatically button was missing so i created my own) and added it to ports in control panel aaand.. it didn't work. It gave me this screen and clicking next led to the printer having a status of "Driver is unavailable."


A few months ago I got an HP Deskjet 2630 to replace my old printer and seamlessly installed it without any issues using the HP Device Manager interface. I don't need to print things frequently, so on Friday I tried to print something and realised my printer wasn't working anymore.


Initially, I was getting a "failed filter" error in the printing queue when trying to print a document. After some online searching and trying some suggested fixes, I couldn't really get anywhere and decided to just remove the printer and install it again. However, this came with its own set of problems. This is the output of hp-setup, which produces the same "error: Printer queue setup failed. Error: successful-ok-ignored-or-substituted-attributes" line whether I ran it as root, as a user or through the GUI:


Which seems to point at some Python dependencies problem. After more online searching I installed some extra Python packages, but the problem persisted. I read some people suggesting that what looked like similar problems could be solved by installing python-pyqt4 from the AUR, but yay failed to build this when I gave it a shot, so that's where I stopped, lest I spent the rest of my weekend going down a rabbit hole of nested errors with no guarantee of success.


But as you can see, it's still pointing to Python dependency errors. I don't know if by solving this I can get past the initial problem, but would appreciate some guidance, especially given that I already have the following installed:


Then make sure to clean up the stuff you did, check optional dependencies for the hplip in Extra and follow the troubleshooting steps. Give relevant logs if you hit a roadblock.

There are no relevant bug reports open so I would assume it works. The only thing I noticed is that your printer is not in the supported list, although some people mentioned it is handled as the 2600.


I guess these threads[0][1][2] are related with this issue. As @mlyean[3] and @loqs[4] said in the comment, I commented out all lines including `Custom` term in the ppd file, then hp-setup was completed faultlessly and my printer was listed in the CUPS setting interface(localhost:631).


Same here. I had to put this on hold because I've been pretty busy over the last couple of months, but I updated cups yesterday and surprise, surprise, the new version fixed it for me. Which is good because nothing else I tried worked!


after splitting networks then reset printer and start again. the printer should see the 2.4ghz network when it scans for possible connections then select your home 2.4ghz network and enter the wireless password. hopefully it will now connect automatically


it is the HP Deskjet 2630

I already have the drivers loaded on my Windows 10 PC and on another windows 7 PC and a windows 8 laptop which are all on a home network

Once i can connect it to the HUB we will be able to print from all 3 PC's

we have the HP smart app which shows the printer as off line

I have a USB cable arriving tomorrow because apparently if we can get the Laptop on line with a USB cable it should be easier to connect it wirelessly


The black ink won't print on our printer. We thought it was out of ink but replaced it and the black ink still won't print. It acts like its printing but it's almost like the black printing components aren't working.


Can somebody help? My HP photosmart C309A, after changing new ink the black big one, does not print? Some document, it can print light/grey color picture (blurred) but no text at all. I try cleaning all the advices above but none of them work! Please help, thanks


What they used to call 'Photo Black' is actually gray, and is used when printing color. You should try soaking the print head in warm water about 10 minutes to make sure it's clean. See if you can borrow another black cartridge to determine if your new one is defective. The Black cartridge is used to print all test reports, so when Black doesn't print, those reports print a blank page. Also, without the main Black cartridge, alignment will fail.


I just replaced all 5 cartridges AND the print head, and my C309a still won't print with the (main) Black cartridge. Colors and photo black all okay. So it's now a boat anchor, with > $120 new parts. I'm going to disassemble to see if I can find an interruption in the black print signals.


I refilled my hp61 cartridge and it would not print. I then put clear tape over the contacts and now prints fine. Please don't ask why it works with the tape on and will not if I remove it because I don't know.


I was having the same problem today. Ran carriage under water and dried. Still didn't work. Looked under tools menu on the printer screen and noticed "clean cartridges." Chose that option. I guess it did the job, because it ran a test print and when we tried to print again it worked just fine.


I just talked to HP support, they said to replace printer because print head is defective. My printer was printing blank pages I replaced all ink cartridge black, cyan, magenta and yellow, it still printed blank pages. My advice, find a better brand. HP sucks.


I had the same problem, the printer made all the manoeuvers and sounds as if printing, but the page came out blank! I have all the inks (bought and replaced those that were half empty), to no avail. I had the print heads cleaned several times, following the instructions, no results either. The best solution is to buy another printer.


I had the same issue with the black cartridge not printing, but the colors printed, This procedure worked: remove the "bad" cartridge and clean the round filter with a facial cleaning cotton pad (or Qtip) dipped in rubbing alcohol. Let is set on the filter for a few minutes to soften the gunk, then gently rub the round filter several times to clear it. Then, reinsert the cartridge back into the printer. Then open the front display, swipe to find the setup link, scroll down to printer maintenance, select it, scroll down to "clean print heads". I had to run it 3 times (each time it ran, it gave a report to see how it was cleaning and I flipped the test paper over to save sheets). It worked great! I would not use water from the tap as takes too long to dry, plus water and electronics don't do well together. I have the HP Office Jet Pro 6830 e All in One.


HP printers seem so affordable on purchase but have such annoying issues after and way too much time spent on solutions! Mine will not allow me to print full page photos only smaller ones. No solution has helped.


HP has added some type of sensor to their printer so that one is unable to use refilled cartridges. I have refilled ink cartridges for years with no problems. HP wants you to spend more money by making it so that their printer only works with a brand new original cartridge. My suggestion, never buy another HP printer unless you want to spend hundreds of dollar more on ink!


It's really odd, but putting a clear tape over the contacts of the black ink cartridge (and left it there) worked! The printer (HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 1115) now prints the "missing black ink" needed. Perhaps I'll just remove the clear tape next time.


I figured out for it to accept the Color cartridge I have to Reset the printer (instruction for HP deskjet reset is available on internet), however, it never accepted black cartridge, it always show Black cartridge Indicator LED blinking meaning it is not recognizing the refilled cartridge. So after reading everyone post above, I also just applied clear masking tape on the complete contact points of the black cartridge and then inserted it. The printer still says it has not detected the black cartridge (because the LED light for black cartridge is constantly on). However, when I print I can see black ink is getting printed. I have a doubt whether this is actually blank ink or color ink is printing black color. i suspect it is later, I will post update in future.


I'm using windows 10, 64 bit and my Officejet 4620 printer wouldn't print black despite having a new HP cartridge. I removed the printer, uninstalled the software and set up the printer again from scratch. It now works.
