I think this has got me printing again. I had to uninstall the full feature software and loaded the driver only. I could not get the full feature software to load completly so I loaded the driver only and this seem to work O.K. Thanks for the help.

Can my hp photosmart all-in-one 7200 printer connect to ipad 2 via bluetooth?

I have a hp photosmart all-in-one 7200 printer with a hp blue tooth dongle. It works well with my cameras, but I cannot get my ipad 2 to recognize the printer.

Hi,
Printing via Bluetooth from an iPad is not possible due to iOS limitations, as Apple did not include the Bluetooth printing protocol in the iOS.
If your printer is HP Photosmart C7200, you may use the HP ePrint Home & Biz App to print from your iPad through your home network
However for the Officejet 7200 your only option is to look for any available 3rd party printing solution from the App Store.

try this...
This is how I managed to fix the problem...and I hope this helps others in the similar situation.
I tried with another program..latest version of Nero, and this was also stopping at the 'initialising' stage. I was now lost! I thought the last resort is to give Evesham (My PC manufacturer) a buzz. They were very helpfull. Basically go into 'Control Panel', 'System', and click on the Hardware tab, then 'Device Manager'. Uninstall everything in the DVD/CDRom Drives. Then uninstall everything under the catagory IDE ATA/Atapi disk controllers. This is where my problem was, as I only had one IDE channel here. You should have 4 or 5! Reboot your machine, and everything will automatically re-load. I tried burning using Nero and it worked. Then the big test was iTunes. It worked 1st time!
I asked why the IDE channels have dissappearred, and he said sometimes uninstalling Programmes occasionally removes them.
I hope this will help others who are having problems to burn stuff on iTunes.

Photosmart all i one 7520 Printing problems the wrong scale the printout

I will print covers for DVD cases. Have done it before from two different programs to my previous photosmart printer without problems. Now since I change the Photosmart All in One 7520 will be reduced format in both height and width. A degradation of the picture takes place.

Hello there @AgnetaL
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you are facing some issues when printing DVD cases from your Photosmart 7520.
I would recommend checking the printers specifications, as this unit may support different sizes, paper types, etc than the previous printer did.
Here is the link for you to get to the: Printer Specifications for the HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer Series
If there is still an issue, let me know which programs you have tried printing from, which paper size and type you are using, and which troubleshooting steps you have tried already.
Have a great Monday!

HP psc 24110 all-in-one - Problems scanning with OS X v10.5.7

Hi, I have been using my HP psc 2410 photosmart all-in-one printer successfully for the past 10months with my MacBook Pro. I recently upgraded my OSX operating system to v10.5.7. since then my printer has been unable to scan. It will print, copy & fax. Checking the HP website shows the latest version of OS X does not support the scanning function of the psc 2410. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem or do I have to buy another scanner? Alternatively, how do I get back to the previous version of OS X which was supplied with my Computer so that I can get the scan function to work?

Hi aviete,
There is no full feature software and driver but you can download HP Printer Drivers for OS X. This download includes the latest HP printing and scanning software OS X Mavericks, OS X Mountain Lion, OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard.
With this driver you can still print and scan, you just wont have HP software to scan from. Scanning to the computer from the printer control panel is only available when using HP Scan software, thus it will not work because there is no HP scan software as apart of the Apple Software Update driver.
Instead, you can scan using,
Method one: Scan from the Print & Scan window
Method two: Scan from Apple Preview
Method three: Scan from Apple Image Capture
I hope this helps. If you have any additional questions are have any difficulty using any of these methods, please let me know what method you are trying and what the issue/error is. You may also find the following document helpful; OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac

Can I print from my 4s iphone using my 6500 series hp photosmart all in one 709e printer?

Can I print documents from my 4S Iphone with my HP 6500 series all in one 709E printer? It states that it cannot locate printer when I attempt to print.
Thanks,

If the printer is not AirPrint compatible but is wi-fi capable, you will need to get one of the many wi-fi printing apps available at the app store. HP has an app. Some of the wi-fi printing apps have more capabilities than others.

HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one problem printing. Ink System Failure has failed unable to copy--

I'm having a problem printing on my HP Photosmart C7280 All-In-One. The following message is what came up on the printer screen: Ink System Failure has failed unable to copy, receive faxes or print. Refer to printer documentation Error O.cl9a0007.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
This question was solved.

Hey Spider! First off welcome to the forum.
I would recommend removing all the ink cartridges, unplugging the USB cable from the computer that connects to the printer, and then shutting the printer off completely by removing the power cord. Then restart your computer. Turn the printer back on but leave it disconnected from the computer. After it has finished its power on cycle go ahead and insert the ink cartridges back into the printer and be sure to seat them properly.
After you have all the cartridges back in the printer properly then connect it to the computer. See if this resolves the issue. If not post back with any findings.
Thanks,
SeanS

Wireless Setup on HP Photosmart All in one (C309a) Printer

I have recently purchased a HP Photosmart Premium (c309a) All in one Printer and have had ongoing issues installing it with Wireless connectivity. The first of the problems are that while the printer itself initially detected the wireless router it drops this connection once in idle or on startup, and it does not automatically detect it the next time. Infact I have had to manualy input the SSID and WEP/WPA passphrase as it has more often than not been able to detect the router again by iteself. This is very painfull and a real turnoff. Secondly, when installing the provided SW the printer isn't detected when scanning for wireless devices and is not found when manually typing the SSID. This occurs even when the printer says it detects the router.
Troubleshooting - Where to start um.....ok I have done the obvious things - power cycle the printer, router and PC. No go. Also downloaded the latest SW from the HP website (as opposed to the CD provided) and resintalled - No go. Also disabled start up programs in msconfig and added the required exceptions and ports to the Firewall and resintalled - no go. The only thing I haven't tried is manually configuring the IP Address, Subnet on the printers advanced settings and matching it on the PC-Printer settings. I found this process ridiculously time consuming and frustrating and would hate to think what the average user would do in this case. Hardly a simple user friendly process. I have since reverted to connect via ethernet just to get it operational (and before I throw it out the window) nevertheless would appreciate some assistance as the wireless feature was one of the reasons I bought it in the first place.

I am using a Motorola SBG900 Wirless Surfboard Gateway - supplied with Bigpond Cable. It is set to be using WPA security and have never had a problem with it before whilst connecting any wireless devices such as a laptop, PDA etc.
My feeling is that the wireless functionality of this printer needs some serious work before the next release. And furthermore they should never have released it the way it is as it wouldn't pass 5% of user acceptance tests if using wireless. There are too many complaints on this forum and others about similar problems to suggest that I am not by myself here. Dissapointing considering this is the feature that would be at the top of the list of most purchasing this model. It lets down what could of been a vg printer.
I agree, I think if I want to get this printer working on a wirless network, I will have to set the IP address manually. The problem is the printer refuses to connect to the router now even after it connected a few days ago with no intervention. I have powered down both the router, PC, and printer without any luck yet. I will set the IP address manually first on the printer and see how it goes, then if it connects will see if the PC/router can see the printer during the SW install procedure which has failed >10 times to date.
For now I think I will stick with Ethernet as it is no doubt much faster anyway and will try the wirless setup again in a few days when my patience grows back. Does anyone know differences in speed between USB/Wireless/Ethernet? I know this is dependant on a number of things but just interested in ball park figures here.

HP PHOTOSMART ALL IN ONE 3310 PRINTER

My all in one 3310 PHOTOSMART HP PRINTER does not print colors correctly. I cleaned the printer head and tried to align the printer as suggested in the USER GUIDE book. It did not work. Two of the cartridges started leaking color and it went from 100% full to 9% full in matter of a few minutes. I went ahead and bought all new color cartridges and repeated the process of repair as per the USER GUIDE, but it was not successful. Two of the same cartridges, cyan and magenta are somewhere leaking and the colors on the test page are still not working correctly. Can you give me an advice as to what else I can do to correct this problem?

i am having the same problem with a C6380 photosmart printer. But nothing I do has corrected the issue. Have you gotten any solution since posting your problem in March/

Photosmart All in one C4780 Printer prints only blank pages, connected to a MacBook Pro

My Photosmart C4780 all in one printer which is connected by USB to my MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8 prints only blank pages, and no text; I have turned it on and off; disconnected and reconnected; uninstalled the HP software and reloaded and updated drivers, firmware and patches. The scan function works and scans the document to my Mac. The copy function also does not work; when I press the OK function next to the copy icon, nothing happens

Hi mpmehta
I understand you are not able to print in black and the copy function isn't working.
I will be happy to assist you with this.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector)
Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or
software issue. Click Here.
I have included a document for not being able to print in black.
Here is a document for the copy function not working.
If you require further assistance please provide the following so I can assist you better.
Did the configuration page print?
Any black print on the page?
What are the ink levels?
Are you getting a error when trying to copy?
Please let me know the results.

HP Photosmart all in one c309a, trying to download driver/software for windows 7

I have a HP touchsmart 600PC windows 7 64bit AND a HP Photosmart Premium c309a printer/all in one. The Photosmart operating CD is not compatible with windows 7 so it said to go online to download the software and driver. I did this and the scanning and copy option didn't work. Sometimes things would print and sometimes they would not. I frequently got a message saying driver not installed. I uninstalled everything just to try again. I noticed on the website that it says it would have a basic and full feature driver. The only one available is the basic driver which I had already done, and with further attempts, noticed that the basic does not allow the scanner, copier, printer to function to it's full potential. The problem is, there is no full feature option on the page. What should I do? It says it is compatible but I am starting to wonder if I need to take the new printer back.

Did you upgrade this computer from Vista? If so, there is a patch to correct a similar issue. It is on the same page as the basic drivers.

Can't get 4050n printer to work with new Desktop Computer: running XP

I have a new Desktop Computer, dual processor, which is running XP and MS office 2007. I had my 4050N HP Laserwriter hooked up to my old desktop (which failed in the last two weeks, blown capacitor, etc) and it worked fine with XP on that computer.
So I downloaded the drivers I found for HP 4050N running XP, and can't even get a test page. The connectors seem to be ok. I had to buy a parallel port to USB cable and I have that plugged into the USB port at the back of my new desktop.
Any ideas of what else I should try? If I had a computer virus with the old machine, could it have affected my printer somehow?
I'm at a loss.
Thanks!

Since you mention doing an upgrade I would be inclined to reset the printing system and then add the R2880 queue again.
Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
Move your mouse over the Printers list
Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
Click the "Reset printing system ..." popup
Restart your Mac
This will remove your print queues but not your printer drivers. So you will only need to add your printer queues again.
