HP Photosmart C5580 All-in-One- Photo Transfer from Scan- Color Quality

I am a quilter. I have printed a photo (from a scan) onto fabric. I purchased the fabric made for this specific purpose. However, the color is off. The actual photo and scan have more brown tones whereas the transfered photo has a more purple tone (rather like the tone you get when you are out of ink). I have brand new ink cartidges installed. #75 tri-color and #99 photo. Should I be using something else?

Hi Thisisridiculou,
I hate to hear you are having print quality issues. Please be aware fabric printing is not supported for this unit. Please view the chart below to identify supported media types. If you are experiencing print quality issues with supported media types please complete the steps located at the following link. Click Here Please carefully review the note below regarding non-supported media types. You may be able to improve quality by adding a generic driver. Here is a link that will provide the steps for that. Click Here
Note: Use of non-supported media types can cause poor print quality as well as damage to the internal hardware components of unit. HP and I are not responsible for damage caused by unsupported media type usage.
Hope this helps!

My printer, hp photosmart c4200 all-in-one is stuck in scan mode

My HP printer--HP Photosmart C4200 All-in-One is stuck in scan mode. I have tried holding start button 60 sec, unplug from power supply, hold while I plug back in with no luck.

Hi @Bungybill,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you cannot copy or scan with your HP Photosmart 3110 on Mac. I am happy to help!
For further assistance, I will need to know:
The version number of the Mac Operating System. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
If you make a copy, and lift the lid, do you see a light come on and the scanner bar move?
Hope to hear from you soon!

Photosmart C5250 All-In-One photos print dark

My photos appear bright on screen but when printed out, are always darker. Any answers?

What operating system? What color management settings? Is your monitor calibrated? What program are you using to print? What are the print settings? Are you doing color management in both the application and the printer driver? (Should do one or the other, not both).

Photosmart premium all in one wont print from SD card

Photosmart premium reads my SD card, and says 398 photos found, then it displays photos for a second or two and then display reverts back to View and Print without giving me tha opportunity to select and print pictures. I performed a power reset and that did not help.

To make sure the printer is reset properly, do these steps:
1. Unplug the power from the back of the printer.
2. Press and hold '3' and '#' buttons.
3. Plug power back in while holding those buttons.
4. Release buttons after about 10 seconds.
Try reading the card again. If it does not read, then try reading a different card. It may have something to do with the individual card if another card reads correctly.

Why won't my hp photosmart premium all-in-one printer - c309g print in color from my macbook air?

It prints from a Dell laptop and a Tobshiba laptop but not from my Mac

Hello,
Thanks for the post. We may have a couple of issues here, were you able to sucessfully download and install the drivers on your system? Are you using the correct printer in your print and fax? Since you can print color sucessfully from two other PC's, I would suspect a setting on your MAC. I've included a link below where you can download the drivers for this product. Good Luck!

How do you scan multiple pages to my computer using a C5580 all-in-one printer

how do you scan multiple pages to my computer using an HP Photosmart C5580 all-in-one printer?

Hi @carolpaige
I would be happy to help you scan multiple pages. What operating system, and version do you have? Mac or Windows?
You will need to save your files as PDF, and when you choose the PDF format you will see an option to have all scanned pages saved as a single file. Knowing your operating system will help me to provide you with more detailed instructions.

HP Photosmart Premium all-in-one C410a. The photos are coming out dark, what is happening?

The photos are dark. I am sending the photos wireless from my Toshiba Netbook NB205-N325BL with Window 7 Starter to my HP Photosmart Premium all-in-one C410a. The photos are dark when i send the photo from my iPhone 3Gs too. I have changed out the ink cartridges to see if that was the problem since the ink cartridges were low.
I have recently purchase this printer. I recently had a Photosmart All-in-one C7280 and was very happy with it until it stopped working with Win 7.
Your help is appreciated.
thank you,
Paula

Laura,
There are quite a few trouble shooting steps in my [FAQ|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2658560&tstart=0]. But to cut to the chase, first make sure you can run one of the Apps on the Printer and its getting content. Then make sure the firmware is the latest (Tools->Web->Automatic Updates->Check for Product Updates). Then power cycle everything (Router, Printer, iOS device). If it's still not working, more likely then not its a problem with your wireless router and Bonjour, so post back what brand of router you have, the model, and how your network is configured.
Just trying to help.

After installing Snow Leopard I can no longer "save photos on computer" after inserting a memory stick to an HP Photosmart C5180 All in 1 Photosmart C5180 All in one

Hello,
When I insert a memory stick into my HP Photosmart C5180 All in one and I try to "save photos on computer" the printer reads: "You need to install device software". This all started happening after I installed Snow Leopard on my Mac 10.6.8. Can someone please advise on what I need to do?

Typically it's a good idea to uninstall any devices attached to the Mac before doing an upgrade. This prevents problems that can be caused by the upgrade. Below are the instructions for uinstalling and reinstalling the printer. I'm also going to include a link to the full feature software and drivers for the printer. Let me know what happens.

Photosmart C7280 All-In-One & feed other than plain paper

I have a HP Photosmart C7280 All-In-One printer. This printer is supposed to be a photo printer however the paper feeder does not accept any paper other than plain paper. i have purchased some a4 heat transfer paper but the paper feeder does not pick it up. there ae options in the print settings to change the type and thickness of the paper being used but it seems useless. and there is no manual paper feeder so it renders this printer a basic plain paper printer which is to what it is advertised to be. it is part of my business that i am able to print on paper that is the thickess of glossy photo paper and cards for invitations which is certainly why i purchased this model. Any assistanve ou can provide would be greatly apprecited. thanks.

Sorry you are having this problem. I have a C7280 and have printed from main paper tray on thick card-stock paper, photo pape, heavy greeting card stock and iron on transfer paper without any problem . I did not have to change any settings except the printing type (I normally use fast economical printing) and paper type (if appropriate) on the printer document properties page and printing shortcuts tab.I think you need to get on the live chat with a technician because you should not be having this problem. I have had good experiences with live chat.
The smaller photo paper tray works fine for me too with the special sized photo paper.
This may not help much but it shows the paper handling specs...

Hp - photosmart e-all-in-one wireless printer cn731a- nothing prints??

HP - Photosmart e-All-in-One Wireless Printer (CN731A)
Went through setup on Windows 7 64-bit, printed the test photo, came out great. Thought everything was good to go. Later, when trying to print a document, it wouldn't print. Computer popped up a message saying "Successfully printed" but when I went to the printer, there was nothing there. I tried running a wireless network test on the printer's screen, and once that page printed with the results, immediately after that, the document I was trying to get finally printed. This was an early Christmas gift for my parents, & my mom just informed me that she tried to print again today, but nothing happened on the printer. I am out of town now and am not able to troubleshoot on my own on the printer like I did a couple days ago so came here for advice.. Any idea what the issue might be? Did I maybe miss a step after doing the test print of the photo? Any ideas would be appreciated!

Hello,
Try the below steps ..
While the printer is ON, Unplug the power cord from back of the printer.
Disconnect all the cables that are connected to the printer.
Wait for 30 seconds.
Plug in only the Power Cord. ( Printer would Power on ).
Try making a standalone Color copy of a document . If it fails to print a copy, then it could either be an issue with the Ink cartridges or the Printer .

HP Photosmart Premium All-in-one c310a - How to print in black and white

I want to print a color pdf file in b&w on my HP Photosmart Premium All-in-one c310a printer. When I go to "features" -> color options -> grayscale -> in the drop down box, there is only one choice - "high quality". There's no "black ink only" choice as I have seen in forums on similar printers.

If you have the full feature drivers installed for this printer and there isn't a Black Ink Only option under Print in Grayscale, then this printer lacks the feature. Typically the Black Ink Only options follows the drivers for some deskjets and most officejets, because of the office environments they are intended for. Where as Photosmart printers are more aimed at printing photos.

HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One Printer - C309g dose it support eprinting

dose
HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One Printer - C309g support eprinting and airprinter
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello RetiredHP,
Thanks for the post. Ok, we may have several options here. With ePrint, you can use the mobile app. to print from your printer from any location with your iPad or iPhone. If you have downloaded and installed the app., then check the below. If the ePrint app. is not showing (should look like icon below), check the link below these steps. The 2nd link provides some additional information. The key is to ensure that both your iPad and the printer are on the same network. Good Luck!
Figure 3: HP ePrint mobile app icon
If prompted, provide your iTunes account information, and then click Get. iTunes automatically installs the app on your mobile device.
Step two: Activate the mobile app (optional)
Why should I activate the mobile app?
If you activate, you unlock all the features of the HP ePrint mobile app. You can print to any HP ePrint-enabled printer (to which you have been given access) from anywhere your mobile device has Internet access. You can also print Microsoft Office documents and Web pages, or save the Web pages to print later. HP ePrint mobile app even helps you with HP printer setup and lets you monitor the status of your print jobs.
If you do not activate, you can still print directly to your supported Wi-Fi-enabled HP printer, but only when your mobile device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network. You can print photos, images, PDFs, and text files saved on your mobile device.
Use the following steps to activate the mobile app.
On your Apple device, tap the HP ePrinticon, and then tap Activate.
Type your email address in the Activate using your emailbox, and then tapActivate. The HP ePrint service sends you an email containing an Activation Code.
Check your email, and then write down the Activation Code sent by the HP ePrint service.
On the Apple device, press the Home button ( ) twice, and then tap HP ePrint.
Type the Activation Code into the box, and then tap Activate.
The app displays a message to confirm activation.

HP Photosmart C4180 All In One ... won't scan at all

According to HP, I have all the latest HP Photosmart C4180 "All In One" Drivers Installed.
According to PackardBell (my pc) it is all installed to Windows 7 with a 32 Bit Operating System.
The problem I get is that I start the P/C ... Then I opened up the HP "Solution Centre" on the desktop ...
It tells me "Your HP Photosmart C4100 series is ready"
In the middle of the screen it says "Start An Activity" then there is a button that says
"Scan Document" ... I press on this button and it seems to do nothing!!! ...
Please Help?? ... gooseman57

Hi there @gooseman57 !
Thanks for contacting the HP Forums!
From what I can see from your post, sound like the scanning software for the HP Photosmart C4180 is not responding. I should be able to provide you with a resolution for your issue.
A good place to start with an issue such as this, is to restart the computer and the printer. I would suggest trying a photo copy on the printer to ensure the printer hardware is OK!
If you continue to experience this problem I would then suggest uninstalling and reinstalling the HP drivers.
I have provided a link with instructions on uninstalling the printer software and another link to the HP Photosmart C4100 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver
There are also other ways of scanning we can explore. For example, you can scan using the program Microsoft Paint. All you need to do is:
1.Open PAINT
2.Go to "FILE" dropdown
3.Click: From scanner or camera
3.Choose your printer
4.Choose what type of scan you would like
5.Click SCAN
6.Click SAVE
Here is a link to a YouTube video for scanning using Microsoft Paint: Scan with your All-in-One Using Windows Paint (Windows 7)
Let me know if this was useful information and please post back with the results of your troubleshooting.
