Adobe PSE9 won't recognize HP Photosmart Premium C410 Printer

My HP Photosmart Premium C410 works with all my applications except Photoshop Elements 9 - which is kind of handy for an imaging program!! The printer is definitely correctly selected, as verified from Control Panel - Printers and Faxes. In PSE, under "Print", the first item is "Select Printer". I have selected "HP Photosmart Prem C410 series", which is the second line in the option list. The first line is very similar, being "HP Photosmart Prem C410 series fax". Every time I try to print something, it starts the fax process..... Nothing I try seems to get it onto the printer, rather than the fax. Any advice gratefully received.

Hello,
PSE9 takes some initial number of character to recognize a printer and send print action to the printer.
In your case both your printer and Fax has same initial name, in such situation PSE get confused. In such situation to come over of this issue do one thing :-
Rename your printer name to some otehr name and then try printing.
For more reference you can go through this post also :-

Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 won't recognize HP Photosmart Premium C410

My HP Photosmart Premium C410 works with all my applications except Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 - which is great for an imaging program!! The printer is defintely selected as default. However, there are two options avilable on the "print" page of PSE and they are very similar - perhaps indicating an issue. The first on the drop-down is "HP Photosmart Prem C410 series fax", while the second (which I have selected) is "HP Photosmart prem C410 series". Every time I try to print from PSE, it starts up the fax process.....!! Anyone any ideas - all advice gratefully received.

Kellerrolf,
Please try to rename the "HP Photosmart Premium C410 series Fax" to "PS C410 Fax". You can change it by:
Open "Printers"
Right click the HP Photosmart Premium C410 series Fax and selecting rename
If it still is loading the fax when you printer there are few more steps that we can try.

10.6.8 Printing problem with HP Photosmart premium C310 printer

I hvae a Photosmart Premium C310 printer which is connected wirelessly to my network. I also have a Mac Pro which is connected to the same network by ethernet cable. Up until I updated to OS10.6.8 everything worked fine. After that I found that when I restated the printer I could see it for a short time under the printer list but then it seems to "time out" and I can no longer print to it within a couple of minutes from my Mac Pro. When I restart the printer I can also see its embedded web page again for a few minutes but then it becomes not visble.
I also own a Macbook pro and two iphones and an ipod touch and all these wireless devices have no problem with seeing the printer and printing to it at any time. The Macbook Pro is also updated to 10.6.8 and works fine with this printer.
It would seem that the issue is not with wireless devices but with a wired device printing to this wireless printer even though it is on the same network and on the same subnet mask. All that has changed between working fine last week and not being recognised this week is an update to OS10.6.8
I have restarted the Mac Pro, reinstalled the latest HP software and reset the printers wireless setup but this makes no difference.
Is this a similar issue to what others have been reporting about a bug with printing under 10.6.8 or possibly something else. Any help here would be appreciated as I have no way of printing from my Mac Pro right now.

Pengtao, I have plugged my Macbook Pro into the network (with Airport off) and I can no longer reach the Photosmart printer. Remove the cable and go wireless and the Macbook Pro can reach the printer again. I have installed the photosmart printer software under Windows 7 using Parallels on my Mac Pro and have no problems finding the Photosmart printer from it.
To make matters worse I have bought a new Laserjet M1536 today and install it on my network. Again I get the same issues. I can print to it from any wireless device on the network but cannot reach it on any wired device on the network.Switch the printer off and on and I can see it and print to it for about a minute then it becomes "offline" to my Mac Pro
Given that it works fine under Windows 7 from a Mac Pro I have to conclude that the issue must be OSX 10.6.8 and nothing else as everything worked fine before the upgrade. I have turned all device off and on , checked all cable connections and also uninstalled and reinstalled all printer drivers on the Mac Pro and cannot get it working. Any advice you may have that may solve the problem beyond it being an OSX issue will be greatly welcomed.

HP PhotoSmart Premium inkjet printer - model c309a will not always scan or copy

My HP PhotoSmart Premium injet printer (model C309a) will sometimes not scan a document. When I press the "Scan" or "Copy" button, the display shows "Scanning" but nothing happens.... Otherwise, the printer seems to work fine.
This "will not scan" problem happens sporadically. It seems to be somehow associated with having the Bluetooth function turned off. Go figure! (I only use wired ethernet to connect the printer to my home network.)
In any case, powering off the printer and powering it on again seems to solve the problem. When I encounter the "will not scan" problem, the power button will not usually work - I need to pull-out the power cord in order to reset the printer.
I also note that when I have the Bluetooth function turned off, it turns itself on again after a power-off / power-on cycle.
I think the firmware in the printer may have corrupted. Or more probably it could be that the latest HP firmware update for this printer has a bug. However, I cannot re-install the latest version of the firmware for this printer because of another "bug" in the firmware update utility. This firmware update utility bug is documented in another thread.

Hi @Tony007
I understand why you may feel it is not a power issue, but from my experience I have seen the power source impact printer functions, particularly scanning. Even though it has worked previously, it still could be the surge protector. For argument sake (and I am by no means arguing with you ) I think we should connect it directly to a wall outlet for say a week and just see if the issue occurs. It is tough to troubleshoot an intermittent issue sometimes, but I am more than happy to tackle this with you.
If you are still reluctant to move the printer to a wall outlet, we can try a few other things, but if in the end it keeps occuring I vote we at least take the power source into consideration. In the meantime, let's try the steps in the following 2 documents;
Buttons on the All-in-One Control Panel Do Not Function
'An error occurred while communicating with scanning device' or a 'There is no computer connection' ...
I am happy to do all I can to help, please let me know the outcome of your efforts. Thanks for your patience.

Have a HP Photosmart Premium C310a printer, copier,scanner problem

Have a HP Photosmart Premium C310a printer, copier,scanner problem
When I try to scan it asks me for destination, PC or SD card, when you select PC it tells me to iniciate from the computer.
The printer was installed with the 3100 series drivers. i have no icons to inicate from the PC. I have downloaded an ran PS_AIO_07_C310_FSW_Full_Win_enu_140_246 which is supposed to be the correct software and drivers for this printer. When I process this application, there is no termination. It asks if I want to let it make changes to this computer, runs for a while and then disappers from active processes. Acts like nothing really terminated or even ran.
Printing and copying works perfect, only problem is with scanning. I have used the workaround of going to the printers IP address but this does not allow multipage scans.
i have windows 7 Home Preimum Service Pack 1 64bit operating system using Chrome as the browser. Printer is being used as wireless.

Hello keller123,
I see that this is your first time with us on the HP Forums. Please let me take a moment to say "Welcome".
To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I see that you are having some issues when it comes to scanning.
I suggest that you attempt to use the HP Scan software. Please click on Start and go to All Programs. Scroll down the menu until you see a Yellow HP folder. In the Folder you will see your printer listed. Click on the printer and you will then see HP Scan.
If this does not resolve your issue, please write me back.
If I don't hear from you today, I hope the remainder of your Wednesday is a good one.

HT3500 Problem printing from MacBook Air with Mountain Lion to HP Photosmart Premium C310a Printer

My HP Photosmart Premium C310a printer used to work fine with my MacBook Pro printer running Lion. I bought a new MacBook Air that comes of course with Mountain Lion. I added a new printer from the System Preferences. The printer will print sometimes. Sometimes the printer just restarts itself and then will print. I used to have an excellent HP Scan Utitlity. That is now gone and it is really hard to scan anything. I am beginning to think it is time to get rid of the HP Printer and buy another one that fully supports Mountain Lion. Can anyone help me here?

Hi - if you haven't done this already, HP support lists several download options including software for OS X for your printer - I would try that route since what comes with Mountain Lion doesn't seem to work - let me know how you make out

HP Photosmart Premium C410 suddenly stopped wireless printing

My HP Photosmart Premium C410 all in one printer was working fine and than just stopped allowing wireless printing. If I eprint by sending an email to the print it works. My wireless connection has no issues and the printer says it's successfully setup. Any suggestions?

Because e-print works, that indicates that the printer is connected to your wireless network.

So, this post, as well written as it is, went totally ignored by the HP personnel that are supposedto be "helping" us poor novices? WOW! No wonder this crap gets thrown out of the house so often.
I have two HP network printers. An HP Officejet 4500 G510g-m, and a HP Photosmart Premium C410a, and they are the most unreliable pieces of "equipment" that I have in my network. This is absolutely trhe crappiest bunch of junk on the market. The only thing worse than these "devices" is the support from HP for them.
I also have a HP Photosmart C5280 AIO, and a Deskjet D2345 Printer. I have little, to no, problems with these two. The "flagships" of my network imaging are the worst, of the worst.

I installed 10.5.8 to my IMac 5 and now it won't recognize a driver for my printer which is an HP PSC 1610. I downloaded the software from HP again and it still says it is searching for drivers

HP Photosmart Premium C310a printer keeps disconnecting from my network.

My HP Photosmart Premium C310a printer keeps disconnecting from my network. I have tried disconnecting my Firewall and AVG virus software, all to no avail. Can anyone help?

This is an issue I have seen multiple times, and telling people to check their network settings, or to fix wireless settings does NOT address the root cause of the problem.   For those who are English-impared, here is a very clear explanation of what is going on:
The printer is REMOVED from devices and printers, seemingly at random.    This is NOT a problem with "The printer is not printing", where fixing the network or resetting IP addresses will fix it.   The printer is GONE, and needs to be added again.
I know networking, and at no time should a loss of connection cause the printer to just be removed from Printers and Faxes, Printers, or anything like that.    If the connection is lost, the connection is lost, but the printer SHOULD still be set up in Windows, just pointing at the wrong place(if the IP address has been changed).
I suspect that it is more likely that the HP Update software is the culprit, and will test that theory today with a customer who has this problem.    It also seems to be limited to the HP Photosmart line of printers, since the Officerjet line does not seem affected by the bug.

New Photsmart Premium c410 printing darker than monitor image

I just purchased a new HP Photosmart Premium c410 and all photos come out darker or not as bright as the monitor image. On setup it never did pass the alignment test although the test print looks good. The print quality test print looks good with good color and seperation in the color bars and excellent sharpness in the text print. I replaced an HP photosmart 3310 with this new one and it is not producing photo lab quality prints. Any help? I'm using the cartridges and hp paper that came with the printer.

Hi - I had exactly the same problem. Here is how I resolved it.
When you click print on your poc the print dialogue bo opens
go to "Properties", then to "Advanced"
you should see a menu tree that has "printer features" &, within that, "Color Management". Mine was set to :- "Color Smart" however, I changed to "Adobe RGB...... 2.2 Gamma.." - This solved the problem for me.
I hope it works for you.
Regards

Problem with printing to a HP Photosmart Premium C410

Printer purchased and installed on July 9, 2011. Connected wirelessly to a D-Link Xtreme N GIGABIT Router Model DIR-655. Router IP address 192.168.0.1
The printer worked fine until last week. Then one of our Laptops could suddenly not print or scan anymore.
There are Two Dell Laptops connected to the same router.
The first Laptop, Dell XPS M1530 running Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2, 4GB Ram 32 bit OS. This machine can print to HP C410 printer directly with no problems. It can see the printer’s embedded web server at 192.168.0.254 and can scan from there into a file on the laptop or can print the just scanned image from the embedded web server. It can also print to it using HP eprint.
The second Laptop, Dell Inspiron M1545 running Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 2, 3GB Ram 64 bit OS. This machine CANNOT print directly to the HP printer. It can see the printer’s embedded web server at 192.168.0.24 and can scan from there into a file on the laptop (I used a PDF format and brought it up in Adobe Reader to be sure) but it CANNOT print the just scanned image from the embedded web server. The print process fails and shows the document still in the spool queue with an error status. It can print to the HP C410 using HP eprint.
I have used the HP suggested process of uninstalling all the printer software and re-installing it from the original CD (tried this three times) and by downloading it from www.hp.com. I have also installed the HP fix titled: Following a Network Installation, the Product Loses Functionality and Is Missing from the Devices and Printers Menu after the Computer Is Restarted in Windows 7 (64-bit Only)
I installed the fix after a complete un-install / re-install cycle. I have run the HP Print Diagnostic Utility at this point in the process and it returns a clean (All Green Check Marks) report but its final test print fails in the same manner.
Thanks in advance for help in solving this problem.

So, this post, as well written as it is, went totally ignored by the HP personnel that are supposedto be "helping" us poor novices? WOW! No wonder this crap gets thrown out of the house so often.

HP Photosmart Premium C310a Printer paper alignment and paper feed problem.

Standard Info:
HP Photosmart Premium C310a Inkjet All-in-one Printer.
Windows 7 Home Premium
No reported errors messages except for paper jams.
No changes were made to the system before the problems began.
My Info:
I am very proficient with computers and electronics. I would first like to say that this printer has very vibrant inks and its ColorSmart/sRGB ICC profile is pure magic. The high DPI ratings have turned out to be accurate so far and the printer prints beautiful images.
Problems:
The problem I am having is with the printers paper feed rollers. They are not scrolling the paper through the printer accurately and consistantly. There have also been two paper jams when using multipurpose everyday paper. When printing high res artwork using HP Advanced Photo Paper I was using HP Photosmart Essentials to create an 8"x10" picture on the 8.5"x11" paper and the first 35-40 prints came out accurately but then, before any paper jams or other problems the 8x10 pictures began to not center correctly on the paper. Then the top of the 8x10 picture started slanting to the right on the paper and extending too close to the right edge of the paper. The entire 8x10 picture is no longer printing 8x10 (the left side of the picture is just over 8" tall and the right side of the picture is printing just under 8", same thing with the top and bottom edges of the image) and is not centering properly on the paper. I just had my second paper jam last night which I clicked the "cancel print" button on the front of the printer touch display to eject the paper. Immediately after, everything began printing very close to the left edge of the paper and prints at an angle down the sheet no matter what it is that I print or what paper it is printed on. I have tried using the auto alignment feature on the printer several times and it does not help.
Questions:
Is this printer purchased on 09/25/2011 from hp.com (with no extended warranty) still under a regular warranty?
If I send it in for repairs will HP be able to fix these problems?
Is there any way that I can adjust the scrollers myself to fix the problem?
Is the new C510a more reliable than the C310a in this field?
I need a backup printer for my art business, I would like to purchase an HP C510a, but am concerned I will have the same problems with the new one.
If anyone can help, please respond. I cannot go on with these problems any longer.
Thank you for your time,
Nanette

Thank you for your quick response Bob. Your answer was helpful, but did not solve my problem. I have cleaned the printer exactly as your response has suggested, but there has been no change, and I was not able to find any dirt, scum, dust, or anything at all wrong with the rollers.
Here are a few pictures of some 8"x10" pictures that I just printed on 8.5"x11" HP Advanced Photo Paper:
These 8"x10" images are supposed to be centered on the paper, but are FAR from centered or dimensionally accurate to 8"x10".
This last image shows really well how the top of the 8"x10" image slants downward from left to right as well as approaches too close to the right edge of the paper.
Is this a problem that I can fix on my own?
If I send the printer to HP for repairs will they be able to fix this problem or will they just clean the printer scrollers and send it back thinking it is fixed?
I really need help with this problem, because right now, the printer is not useable.
Thank you for your help.

HP Photosmart premium not printing correct colors or contrast on photo paper.

My HP Photosmart Premium does not print correct colors or contrast level on photographs using photo paper. This happens with using most any application and setting the paper type to one of the photo papers... By using MS PhotoAlbum and selecting the photo tray then forcing "regular paper", I can get a somewhat decent print (this trick only works with MS PhotoAlbum). When I setup to any of the "photo paper" types, I do not get correct colors or contrast levels (even if the print preview looks good).
I have the same issue with 8.5 x 11 inch photopaper. Unless I select "regular paper" as the paper type, I get incorrect color and contrast (even if the preview looks good). The ICC "Color Profiles" look to be OK (at least the titles are correct).
Anyone have any ideas?

Try the troubleshooting steps in this page. My bet would be the Photo cartridge (the black with the bow tie symbol) is out of ink. This is only used when photo paper is selected, for plain paper printing the regular black cartridge is used.

HP Photosmart Premium: photos print wet and with grainy image.

Photos print wet and image looks almost like a posterization; the color seems okay, but the image has a grainy patterns of tiny dots all over it.

What printer model - there are several different Photosmart Premium models? What program are you printing from? Are you using photo paper designed for inkjet printing? What are the driver settings for print quality and media type?
Web images are typically 72ppi, while for printing 200ppi or more is typically needed to prevent grainy images. Make sure the source photo's are of reasonable resolution.
If you are printing from a program such as Photoshop that gives an option of RGB or CMYK printing be sure to select RGB. While the printer inks are CMYK the driver is expecting RGB (or sRGB) source data. Printing with CMYK selected will result in very oversaturated prints.
