  • Photos will not print in color on photo paper

  • Black Prints as Blue on Photo Paper

    I have a Photosmart 6510 and am using Mac Snow Leopard. Black prints fine on plain paper but prints a blue on photo paper. This is a new problem.  It was working fine before. Any suggestions?

    Hi Dlking,
    I responded to your other post, but this thread will work too
    Can you clarify "Working fine before", did you change any settings or OS X versions?

  • Photosmart 7515 jams using Kirkland (Costco) glossy photo paper

    I have used other photo papers in the past including HP.  But this time I purchased a package of Kirkland Professional Glossy Inkjet Photo Paper.  After starting a print job, the paper starts to feed and then jams.  Once it actually printed, but the print was about half off the paper.  The other attempts all jammed.  I ruined 5 sheets so far with no success. This Kirkland paper does not seem any different from the others used.  Is there something wrong with the printer?  I don't have a different paper to try at the moment.

    Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that your HP Photosmart 7515 is jamming when using Kirkland (Costco) glossy photo paper. I am happy to help!  It is possible, that this type of paper may not be supported with this printer. In order for me to find out, I will need to know the size and weight of the paper you are using. In the meantime, please try the steps in this paper jam guide. A 'Paper Jam' Error Displays on the HP Photosmart 7510 e-All-in-One Printer Series. Hope this guide helps, and hope to hear from you soon!  “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

  • Printer won't load photo paper from the photo tray

    My HP C7280 won't load the 4x6 photo paper from the photo tray.  The photo tray moves in towards the feeder, but fails to actually load the paper into the feeder.  Any suggestions on how to correct it?  Thank you.

    Hey,
    Please take some time and look through this document to make sure that you are loading the paper properly,
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01662562&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=e...
    These are the Macintosh instructions but the steps to prepare the photo print are the same but they are steps you would do on Windows just ignore the instructions.
    Have a great day. Get back to me.

  • Printing on HP 4x6 Photo Paper with HP 8620/8625 printer

    How do you print pictures on 4x6 HP Photopaper using the HP8620 printer? I can't believe there are no instructions in the 30 language manual the comes with it. I've loaded the paper with the shiney side down, the paper feeds, but I get "Paper type Mismatch" error.
    Right now I'm trying to print with Picasa. I had no problem on my HP C309g printer.
    Thank you in advance. I'm about to take this thing back!

    @Raskolnyki
    Good news,  you can "add" a form for the 4X6 or 4X6.5 (tabbed) paper size.
    The basic instructions are already available for the printer, though not where you'd expect:
    Create Custom Paper Sizes in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X
    I created a new 4X6.5in form so I could use my 4X6 inch tabbed photo  paper in my new printer.   The printer was throwing "paper mismatch" errors at the 4X6 form.
    The examples to create the form are included in this document:
    Printing Preferences
    See Section titled:

  • Software changes print quality to Advanced Photo Paper Normal.

    I am using an Officejet 8500 909a.  In the last week each time I go to print the quality is changed to Advanced Photo Paper, Normal.  I have tried making new saves with Plain paper, normal; plain paper, draft but no matter what it still prints on Advanced which uses a lot of ink.
    I uninstalled the driver software, downloaded it and installed it again but still no change.

    Wucta,
    Congratulations on your new printer!
    Photo Paper:  Glossy side down, with the "hard to see" crease in the photo paper closest to you.
    Remember to install the Full Feature Software (in Drivers) AND take a look at the great support pages:

    There are videos on the Driver page to help with the installation of the software.

  • New 6500A Plus-set up the e-Print. to auto select photo paper like my Photosmart

    I will try this one more time.  My issue is the printer having two paper sources like the Photosmart.  One with printer paper and a small tray with photo paper and the printer knows to print photos on the photo paper.
    The question is there any way to modify the 6500 to work the same way?

    With e-Print if the photo is embedded into the body of the email then it will print on the plain paper in your printer. If you want the photo to print on photo paper then the photo must be an attachment to the email and you need to have photo paper loaded into the printer.

  • HP6520 Won't Print 6 X 4 Photo paper

    My HP6520 will not print on 6 X 4 photo paper.  Keeps coming out on regular 8 1/2 X 11 paper.  Help!!!!

    Hi,
    What operating systen/device are you printing from?
    If you're using AirPrint, it's worth noting the points below:
    The default settings for Airprint on Apple devices is to print photos from the photo tray and all other documents from the main plain paper tray.
    For more flexability in terms of media and tray selection, please download the HP e-Pprint app. You'll find setup instructions for e-Print here.

  • Officejet Pro k8600 poor quality printing on "prenium plus photo paper"

    Using paper "premium plus photo paper" Q5496A (a3 size) and C6832 (A4 size) the quality of photo printing is excellent.
    This last time I bought paper "premium plus photo paper" CR675A (A3 size) 5 stars type and quality of the prints is very bad. The full range of blacks and grays disappears and turns into a single shade of very dark gray. Paper like "advenced photo paper" Q8697A (A3 size) 4 stars has same problem.
    A3 paper Q5496A is difficult to find, may be it is no longer in production? What kind of A3 paper can I use instead of Q5496A?

    The problem is that - with the same hardware, same software and same image file - when printing on Q5496A, the print quality is great while printing on CR675A, the print quality is really bad.
    I have already done all tests and solutions suggestes at your link , and nothing changed.
    Cartridges, heads and paper are all original HP and the paper is Premium Plus 5 stars.
    So the issue really seems to be the paper to me or the ink that doesn't work well with this kind of paper...
    Thanks a lot.

  • How small of photo paper can I use on a c309a

    I need to use the smallest photo paper that I can use.  I can not find anything in the manual.  What is the smalles photo paper size.
    thanks
    MIke

    The spec's for minimum size do not seem to be listed in the manual.  The driver allows selection of index cards down to 3"x5" and photo paper down to 3.5" x 5".  The driver does allow printing multiple logical pages per page, you could print 2 or 4 photo's on your 3.5"x5" or 4"x6" pages.

    I have to implement the following features:1)Show video streaming 2)Capture video 3)Capture photo from still-image stream.These features are implemented in capture engine.
    I am able to take photo from video stream not from image stream.I tried to configure the image stream index in Addstream() api,but its giving MF_CAPTURE_ENGINE_ERROR error.
    To trigger the still pin,use
    the IAMVideoControl::SetMode method
    in directshow. How do i implement this feature using capture engine technique in MF?My question
    is-is it possible do it in Media foundtion??I have searched many sites but no luck.
    Here the sample code which i used to capture an image.
    HRESULT TakePhoto()
    HRESULT hr = m_pEngine->GetSink(MF_CAPTURE_ENGINE_SINK_TYPE_PHOTO, &pSink);
    if (FAILED(hr))
    goto done;
    hr = pSink->QueryInterface(IID_PPV_ARGS(&pPhoto));
    if (FAILED(hr))
    goto done;
    hr = m_pEngine->GetSource(&pSource);
    if (FAILED(hr))
    goto done;
    hr = pSource->GetCurrentDeviceMediaType(1, &pMediaType); // 1 is Image stream index.I will get current image stream media type here.
    if (FAILED(hr))
    goto done;
    //Configure the photo format
    hr = CreatePhotoMediaType(pMediaType, &pMediaType2,GUID_ContainerFormatBmp);
    if (FAILED(hr))
    goto done;
    hr = pPhoto->RemoveAllStreams();
    if (FAILED(hr))
    goto done;
    DWORD dwSinkStreamIndex;
    // Try to connect the first still image stream to the photo sink
    if(bHasPhotoStream)
    hr = pPhoto->AddStream((DWORD)MF_CAPTURE_ENGINE_PREFERRED_SOURCE_STREAM_FOR_PHOTO, pMediaType2, NULL, &dwSinkStreamIndex); //Instead of MF_CAPTURE_ENGINE_PREFERRED_SOURCE_STREAM_FOR_PHOTO,i gave index as 1.i am getting error
    if(FAILED(hr))
    goto done;
    hr = pPhoto->SetOutputFileName(pszFileName);
    if (FAILED(hr))
    goto done;
    hr = m_pEngine->TakePhoto();
