Printing/Tiger/HP 6110 AIO

Major problems with my HP 6110. As others have posted, web-based printing hopeless with ++ blank pages, random printed pages. All browsers the same. Sometimes it stalls mid document but that was happening with 10.3 too. Word Doc printing OK. I have tried these steps:
~trashed all HP software, reinstalled new drivers from HP
~reinstalled Tiger
~repaired disk permissions
~ replaced printer cartridges
~ Reset printer
~downloaded GIMP drivers hjis
~tried USB direct, no better than bonjour network
~ ready to give up. Apple has not been able to fix. HP same. Suggest ppl don't buy HP printers until Apple straightens this mess up. I can see I am not the only one.

I have no problems printing/scanning, etc. from the 6110. The only major issue was printing from the website or with small margins.

If you haven't already done this you can try the following:

1. unplug the printer usb cable.

2. Delete the old drivers.

3. Reset your unit:
a. Turn off the unit using the On button located on the unit’s front panel.
b. Unplug the power cord from the back of the unit.
c. Plug the power cord back into the unit.
d. Turn on the unit using the On button.

4. plug the printer back in.

5. Reinstall the new driver from HP's website.

I would also run Disk Utility and fix the permissions, once after uninstall and another time after reinstall. HP software loves to mess with permissions it seems.

I was having the same problems with blank and incomplete pages on my tiger/wired hp6110 combo. Changing the page margins was no help.

Changing the driver to the HP deskjet 600/600c gimp print ver 5.0.0 beta 2 did restore printing web pages but at the cost of unacceptable slowness. I find this solution an unacceptable compromise.

Are there any more elegant solutions out there, has a permanent fix been developed?

I've had this problem forever, too, and had it "fixed" with GIMP drivers for the last year or so, which ***** because the print quality isn't as good and it's very slow.

However, I checked for new drivers at the HP site this weekend, and they just released a new Universal binary for the 6110 at version 7.9, and to my amazement, when I installed the new drivers, printing was restored!!! Goodbye to cursing at my computer/printer while it spits out blank pages for no good reason.

Here's the link to the 6110 drivers:

Also, it seems that they've updated the Scan package, and now multi-page scanning "PDF to Adobe Reader" actually works as expected, ending up in a multi-page PDF file rather than a bunch of 1-page PDF files.

Anyway, thought I'd share.

Good luck,
Alan
