Thanks, Pierres.  Greatly appreciate your input.  I'm still without scanner, copier.  Unemployed so can't get another at the moment.  SO frustrating, still.  Seems like you are right about a flaw in the design.  Too many people having problems for it to be normal wear and tear.  Guess we can just chalk it up to our disposable-society expectations.  But those days only existed for the haves, anyway.  Losers are as always the usual suspects - those with limited resources, who can't afford to keep replacing.  Hate to tun this into a social issue, but seems to apply here.  onward and upward...

I've got a photosmart C4480 and have had it for about 2 years. I literally used the scanner about 2 times and then all of a sudden i went to use it and the scans came out black. Same with the alignment page, i can't align the cartridges at all.

 

I've tried everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's definitely a waste of money, i will never buy a HP anything again!

 

Regards

I had the same problem - and FOUND THE CAUSE!

 

In short: IF EITHER OF THE INK CARTRIDGES IS NOT FULL, it may make the test-page bad, which the printer won't accept when scanning to calibrate.

 

In my case:

I just replaced the black in cartridge, but my color ink was running out.

This resulted in the same phenomenon everyone is describing (always printing a test-page upon start-up, scanning it doesn't make it stop).

 

Later I realized that the colored part of test page was not exactly perfect - so I guess not what the printer was expecting when scanning it. 

So  I REPLACED the color cartridge, re-printed the test-page, scanned it - and THE PRINTER NO LONGER PRINTS THE TEST PAGE!

I am having the same trouble.  It was working fine one day and the next, the scans and copies were black.  Any suggestions?

If your scans and copies are coming out all black, can you tell if the scanner light is even coming on when you copy/scan?  

Any error messages on the printer or computer?  

Which printer do you have?  

How are the ink/toner levels?  

 

Answer those questions for me please and I can help determine the appropriate step, if this is even fixable, that is.  Hopefully it is. :smileyhappy:
