Hi:

Had a similar problem a while back. Went to this site and followed the instructions to the T and it worked perfectly [it wasn't an 845 model but the same should apply].

Hope this helps.

Also see the linuxprinting.org page (http://linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet_845C), which recommends the hpijs driver.

And you can install them by going to System Setting >Add/Remove Apps >Printing

Thanks for all your feed back
i was in fault
my colour cartidge was empty and the printer was configured to print with the colour one
so i simply change the settings to grey scale and to use the black cartidje thanks again
