Printing problems for photosmart 7520

I do not have my printer set up as wireless, because I do not have the equipment (router or modem or whatever it might be called) It is plugged into the back of my tower. I assume that means it is not set up as wireless. I only have one computer, no laptops or anything else.
I am not computer literate, I read several other questions and couldn't quite find my exact problem. I have no idea how to find an IP address either.
The printer used to work fine. The blue light always flashed - I assume because I don't have the wireless equipment
the power button next to that is a white color, doesn't change when I press it or when I unplug the cord from the tower.
UNABLE TO COMUNICATE OR FIND NETWORK PRINTER is the message I get. Can you have a network printer with only 1 computer in the house?
The touch screen is black and does not come on.
Windows 7 64 bit operating system
Not sure exactly what this is off back of printer: FPU CZ045-64004
I tried to install updated software, it didn't make any difference.
I installed the HP doctor thing - would not print test page, think I had to choose network or wireless and I don't think either of those apply.
The only thing that I think might have something to do with my problem is I installed a free AVG PC Tune up.
Any help would be appreciated. I am losing my patience, been at this for 4 hours now.

Hi Christina-D,
I understand that you are having an issue printing with you 7520. I would like to assist with this issue but I do need to clarify a couple of things first so that we are able to narrow down the issue.
First is the printer plugged directly to a wall outlet? If not please plug the printer direct to the wall outlet, so that the printer is getting the right amount of power to work properly.
Second the touch screen on the printer is this black or are you able to see the different icons when the printer is turned on?
Third to test the functionality of the printer, could please print a self test report from the printer itself. I have included a document Printing a Self Test From the 7520
Please let me know the answer to these questions. Thank you.

    Welcome to the HP Community @ericabomberger 
    I read through your post about the concerns you're having with your Photosmart 7550 and 7520, and I am here to address them for you.
    There areno available drivers for the PS 7550 on Yosemite, as the printer model is older, and Yosemite is quite new.
    Your best bet would be to troubleshoot the Print Quality Issues on your PS 7520, as this model is compatible with 10.10. I would suggest trying all of the steps from this guide to help improve the Print Quality problems:
    Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer Series 
    If you find that the troubleshooting does not help the PQ, call HP directly to see what your printer options are. You may need a replacement part or printer and technical support can help you in that category.

  • Print negatives on photosmart 7520

    I'm a recent owner of a Photosmart 7520 printer and I understand that you can print from negatives and slides.  Is there anyone out there who can give me some pointers on where to begin?  Do the negatives and slides have to be scanned?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Are you talking about SCAN (not print). No, it does not support scan from negatives and slides.

  • Serious printing problem - HP Photosmart 7350 / Mac OS 10.6.6

    Hello to all helpers!
    Recently, I encountered a serious problem with my printer, an HP Photosmart 7350. This printer has always worked with my setup over an Airport Express network. However, it suddenly stopped working mid-job last weekend after updating to Mac OS 10.6.6, and I have not found any solutions. The printer has power, plenty of ink and paper, and appears to be connected to the computer, but when a job is sent to it, it tries to initiate printing but it doesn't, and after a few minutes the printer queue pauses itself. The printer will print a test page from itself, but it will not print one sent from the computer.
    I've tried many conventional solutions, including:
    -deleting the original job and resending it to the printer
    -restarting the printer
    -restarting the computer
    -unplugging the USB cable and power cable and plugging them back in
    -replacing the USB cable with a different one
    -connecting the printer directly to the computer instead of the Airport Express
    -removing and reinstalling the printer driver (Gutenprint 5.2.3)
    -repairing disk permissions
    -resetting the print system and reinstalling the printer driver
    I am completely confused about what happened, but I'm guessing it is an incompatibility issue related to the OS update. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    So I have tried the foregoing suggestions and reinstalled with Gutenprint 5.2.6, but I still have the same errors popping up in console, suggesting incompatibility.
    Is there any hope for this printer anymore or am I going to Office Depot later today?

  • Trouble printing on hp photosmart 7520

    I realize this issue is a frequent one, i hope i am not being thick.  I have searched the forums here and tried everything I could find.
    I cannot get my HP photosmart 7520 to print on photo paper.  Yes I have selected photo paper in both the "page setup" and the "print setup" dialog boxes, but the printer continually defaults to the 8.5x11 paper.
    Are there advanced settings i have not been able to locate?  thanks in advance,
    TJ

    i'm sorry to not follow you.
    in the print settings dialog box there is a "presets" option where I can select photo paper or plain paper.
    In the bottom part of the print settings box I can select "paper type/quality", and I get an option for Source:  automatic/main tray/photo tray.  I select photo tray and save.  i then print and it prints out of the main tray.  I go back to the print setting box and the setting is on main tray even though i selected photo tray and saved it.  i've tried this multiple times.
    Is there another place to change settings?
    Sorry if I am missing something.

  • Color scanning problem with Photosmart 7520

    I can not get my new Photosmart 7520 to scan in color. 
    The device scans to PDF, sending the file directly to my Mac computer but when I open the file the document is in b/w.
    Everything else about the process works fine.
    What should I do to capture color?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi Magnusho,
    Im suspecting that the default mode for the PDF is Grayscale/Black and White. To verify this, follow steps below:
    1. Double click /Applications/Hewlett-Packard/HP Utility
    2. Click "Scan to computer"
    3. Click "Edit Scan Task..." button
    4. Hp Scan wil launch and will open Preferences window
    5. Select "Document (PDF)" or shortcuts that contains PDF
    6. Click "Edit" button.
    7. Click "Show Details" button. Scan Presets will display.
    8.Check the Mode?
    If the mode is in "Grayscale/Black and White" then thats the reason why the scan output is not color. If you want colored scan output, change the mode to Color. Then click "OK" button.
    Try scanning again.
    If this does not help you, please update me.

  • Printing problem for SAP Script

    Dear Friends,
    I am facing strange problem for SAP Script. In the billing document output the sold to party and ship to party address are displaying. When user print the billing document on laser printer it print the Country for Sold to and Ship to. But when it print the same billing document on normal printer (other than laser) the Sold to country not printing.
    The print preview of billing document in SAP  correctly display country for Sold-to and Ship-to.
    I have recently make changes in the SAP Script form (Address window) to display country for Ship-to which was never displayed before. I have added FROMCOUNTRY option after COUNTRY in address window. COUNTRY will be Ship-to and FROMCOUNTRY will be VBDKR-SLAND.
    Can any one help me to solve this problem.

  • Problem printing with HP Photosmart 7520 printer.  Same bad result independent of advanced settings.

    How can it be that, no matter what settings (advanced, custom, PS manages color, Printer manages color,...) I get the same terrible result for a reference photo (dull, colorless)?   It is as if the PS CS6 is not controlling anything with these settings.   Is there something else I need to set to make this work?  (Old HP Photosmart 7960 works fine, but they stopped manufacturing new photo cartridges).  The 7520 all-in-one makes copies of graphics with excellent, accurate color rendition so it is something with the settings for the printer.  The device can print good color.   HP support  says its Photoshop settings.  I don't know what it is.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Pirazok,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I am going to give you a document that deals with when the Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.  This document covers a wide span of troubleshooting steps that I think may help with the issue you seem to be having.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

  • Cartridge problems HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer

    I have replaced all of my ink cartridges with genuine HP cartridges.  I keep getting an error message that says that one or more of my cartridges are either damaged or missing.  I also cleaned all of my printer heads.   Amy suggestions? 

    Hi DF5, Does the error message indicate a particular cartridge as having the problem? Did you get the error message as soon as you replaced your cartridges? If there is a particular cartridge that is causing the error try replacing it with your old cartridge if you still have it. This will indicate if the problem is solely with the cartridge. If the old cartridge works check the metal contact area on the back of your cartridge for dirt or damage (2 below). Also check the corresponding electrical contacts inside the printer (indicated by the blue arrow). If you notice any damage to the contact I would suggest that you contact HP Support for assitance.  Please let me know if any of these steps help resolve your issue. Many Thanks,Francheska  

  • How do I turn off duplex printing for Photosmart 7520

    When printing boarding passes, tickets, or legal forms, I want to print on one side only. However, I do not find this option anywhere, and I am forced to print one page at a time.

    What is the OS and version? On Windows, if you want a printer settings to stay, you change it in the system print property, if you change it in the pop up when printing, typically it's considered per session and the change don't stick. If you change a setting in a specific app (word, adobe), they may or maynot send that info to the printer.
    If you are using presets, after making the changes, you may be able to save a new preset with the wanted properties and use the new preset from now on for the type of print jobs (e.g. save a preset named "boarding pass")

  • Printing problem (HP PhotoSmart 7345)

    Hi!
    Another happy switcher over here, since about one week I have my brand new PowerBook G4. Now I have only one problem left, I have still a WinXP Home desktop pc with a HP PhotoSmart 7345 connected through USB. I always used it as a shared printer so I could print all through the house to this printer. But now I moved to Mac OS X, I can't setup this printer using Windows Printing. This model seems not to be supported by Mac OS X Windows Printing. Which printermodel can I use, I already tried the DeskJet 955C, I could print, but the proces took like 2min for one bw document.
    Anybody who has a solution?

    I finally got it working (by accident)!!!
    What I've done:
    * Reinstalled HPIJS
    * Installed ESP Ghostscript
    First directly connected to the printer, as soon as I got this working, I disconnected it and connected to the WinXP machine again.
    I added a printer on the following way:
    * Printer Utility -> Add printer
    * OPTION + More printers
    * Select Advanced -> Windows-printer through SAMBA
    * Device URL as: smb://username:password@WORKGROUP/XPMACHINE/PRINTER
    * Select the Foomatic driver of the HP PhotoSmart 7345
    Extra information:
    Device URL:
    - username & password: your account on the XP machine
    - workgroup: workgroup where the XP machine is findable
    - xpmachine: networkname of the XP machine
    - printer: networkname of the printer
    NOTE: username & password are case-sensitive and the rest should be capitals
