  • Calibration Error Photosmart D7160

    After several days of not being used my HP Photosmart D7160 printer decided that it was time for an alignment when I turned it on. Pressing the OK button as instructed (white paper was in the tray ready to be printed) resulted in a page being fed to the printer, a couple of second pause, and then the blank paper was fed through and the error message "Calibration Error" at the top of the original alignment needed window showed up. Pressing the OK button resulted in a repetition on the above paper feed-through. Pressing the Cancel button on the front of the printer breaks the cycle.
    Going to the tools menu and choosing Align Printer produces the same results.
    Looking for help in this forum turned up little help except
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00720653&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=1153494&tmp...
    But before I had read the helpful page I tried the other tool options to see what did work. Display Ink Gauge did show two ink cartridges much lower that the rest. Print Sample page took a while to print a nice photograph of star fish. The alignment must not be very bad.  Print Test page printed out more than you ever wanted to know about internal settings of the printer and a set of ink squares. Obviously all the cartridges worked well so the next function, Clean Printhead, was not needed.
    The last function was Align Printer which proceeded to work perfectly despite the previous troubles! Something had decided to work. Something outside my control was triggered by all that printing. The scheduled maintenance was done and now I can turn my printer on and off without error messages.

    Well, since you are interested I tried to align the printer again just to check and the printer errored out.
    My electronics background favored the dirty cartridge contacts possibility mentioned in the reference given in the first post. I have a typewriter eraser with a coarse rubber eraser on one end and a brush on the other. It is good at removing dirt from contacts. All the ink cartridges were done. Most showed that some sort of tarnish was removed. Two cartridges had a contact that did not lie in the plane of the other contacts. The alignment test did not work again.
    Then the trick of doing everything on the tools menu on the way down to alignment was tried. The printed results all look good. The Clean the Printhead step was also done this time. After each test the alignment test was retried and failed.
    Following the reference we are now at Step Five: Clean and reseat the cartridges. Each cartridge had its contacts wiped with a Q-tip dipped in 3% hydrogen peroxide to remove all organic matter. The contacts inside the printer were also wiped but they all looked in good condition. The align test failed.
    Step Six: Reset and relocate the product was not done because the printer is plugged into an uninterruptable power unit and there is no other place to put a printer in this room.
    Step seven: Service the product may be done in the future but right now the printer works well. The alignment test will be retried after each cartridge is replaced with a new HP cartridge with cleaned contacts.
    No solutions here.

  • Photosmart D7160 connected to desktop with Windows XP, issues with new laptop & network printing

    We have a Photosmart D7160 connected to our desktop that runs Windows XP. I just got a new Acer laptop that runs Windows 7 (64bit). We set up a network to connect to the internet and so I can access documents that had been made on the desktop. I have not had issues using the printer off the desktop with any programs. I installed a creative program to create flyers, cards, etc onto the laptop. Same one as on the desktop. When trying to print off the laptop, I can not access the whole options on the printer. I forget the name of the options I want (maybe called printing preferences) but I would like to choose wether I am using the photo tray or presentation printing or economy printing, etc. I can only choose print.  That is not  good for printing cards, etc. I had made a recipe care template with that program and wanted to print one out.
    What have I not done in setting up my laptop? I tried the to "add a printer" on a network and that did not fix my issue. Any help is appreciated. thanks.

    Hi Bayratlj
    Dunno if you've sorted your problem out, but I had exactly the same problem with a HP Photosmart 3100. I found some advice on http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6201674 regarding the firewall on the Mac and yes that is the problem. But as you'll see with my last post in that topic I cant figure out how to keep my firewall on AND have printer sharing. Just allowing printer sharing in the firewall settings is no help.
    Cheers

  • HP Photosmart D7160 printer could it be fitted with a double sided print unit?

    I only need to know if my HP Photosmart D7160 printer was made with the provision of or could it be fitted with a double sided print unit.?  If I had got the answer I would have purchased the required part.
    i have been searching the HP web site on and off for the last four years for the answer to this question only to find myself going round in circles without ever getting any practical answer.  If and when HP have the courage to answer the question
    and the answer is what I think it will be I will take the printer back whence it came from and demand a refund in full!
    I have just tried a spell check and the website doesn't recognised the name/number of HP manufactured equipment that is clearly printed on the front cover and when I instal HP print cartriges HP tell me I have been a good boy.

    Page 9 of the user manual indicates there is an optional accessory for double side printing.  The data sheet here indicates that (in the US) the part number is:
    HP ph5582 Two-sided Printing Accessory
    Q5582A
    HP ph5582 Two-sided Printing Accessory Q5582A
    A Google search turns up a number of offerings.

  • HP Photosmart D7160

    I bought an HP photosmart D7160 a week and a half ago. There is no driver for it--it isn't in the list of drivers that come with macbooks, the one on the cd doesn't work. HP has support for macs that is about as helpful as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. I ordered the new driver cd--still no luck. I tried downloading gutenprint drivers, and now I can't get them off. I deleted everythign I could find file wise, but they still show up in the list when I search for my printer model. Any tips would be great, because I can't return this printer since my b/f threw away my box...

    I called HP service and finally got an answer

  • Making a printed BANNER using cont. feed banner PAPER

    does anyone have any idea if I can make a banner (8/12 x 36") using continous feed paper in my printer? I have the trial verison of Pages '08 which came with my new iMac. (I am a mac newbie) For years I easily made printed banners (using up to 5 sheets of cont. feed paper) using MS Publisher.
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, I have tried Google, and the Apple.com downloads section, but to no avail as yet.
    The Canon printer seems terrific and is a step up from an older HP all-in-one machine....however...i miss the easy HP banner printing dialog boxes...(HP sells banner paper that is perforated and made for this purpose as you probably know) and it is just so easy on a PC. I hope to be able to say the same thing about my new Mac soon.
    I did try changing the paper size in Pages, FOLLOWING YOUR INSTRUCTIONS TO USE INSPECTOR...but must have done something wrong because I was not able to actually SEE on on my screem (and thus create) an ACTUAL banner for printing.
    I will keep trying. Thanks for the suggestions. My banner making days may be on hold for now (others will be more disappointed about this than me!)
    MANY thanks.
    If anhyone reading is aware of Banner-Creation software for making actual BANNER PRINTS on an inkjet...please share ! Google searches ususally result in software for WEB-banner creation ..something quite different !

  • What paper setting for iron on transfer on Office Jet pro 8600

    I don't know what paper setting to use for iron on transfers.
    I have also noticed compared to my other printers, colors come out faded not vibrant.
    BLACK is more of a charcoal!  I'm ready to take this machine back.
    I select premium hp photo paper because I want to use most dpi.  It is still faded.
    However there is not a listing for "Iron on Transfer" paper.
    HELP!!!!!

    Hi,
    This is extracted from page #32 of its manual:
    Have both special media (such as transparencies or letterhead) and plain paper loaded in the trays.
    + Load special media in Tray 1 and plain paper in Tray 2.
    + Make sure the default tray is set to Tray 2.
    + Make sure tray lock is set to Tray 1.
    Confusing isn't it !
    Regards.

  • Ink new, message says empty on Photosmart D7160

    Photosmart D7160  I have changed to new ink twice, cleaned print heads, printed test patterns and alignment pages. 
    I have unplugged the power, turned off the printer, no help.  Message still says change cartridge. 
    Printer will finally print a page at a time if I click “continue” on the computer screen and click “ok” on the printer. The only ink used in this machine has been HP, bought fresh - not old ink.  Please help, I cannot print pictures at all.

    Hi,
    I just have the same problem:
    New HP original ink cartridges, with expiration date in June 2012, installed when getting the "cannot print", empty cartridge...blabla.
    And the "cannot print" error still remains!
    And, even if Black ink is not empty, no way to print in Black&White mode! (was possible before when a color was empty...but now impossible!)
    I saw that the same error exists on various Photosmart models and looks like a microcode bug as some key stroke sequences are possible on some models to reset the wrong status register of the printer... but it seems that for D7160, no solution exists...
    I'm now waiting for a call back of HP support. Let's see what's the official report stays: I hope that answer is not "purchase a new printer !". If this is the case, I'll move to another manufacturer, as this kind of problem is just coming from HP idea to to implement complex systems to ensure that end-user purchases new HP ink cartridges, even if not empty...
    (But all manufacturer are doing the same, so in fact, no way to escape!)

  • 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.

  • Photosmart C4750 printer chops off photo prints on leading edge no matter what size, paper setting,

    My Photosmart C4750 printer chops off the photo prints when using photo paper no matter what settings I use.  I don't have any trouble when using regular paper.  I have a Touchsmart 300 PC using windows 7 and I use either PMB from Sony for my photo editing or Corel Paint Shop.  The problem seems to be in the printer.  It starts printing the picture off the paper.  Can you help me?

    I called their tech support and they informed me that the printer was out of warranty so they could not give advice unless I payed the one time fee or bought a 1 year plan.  First, the guy's India accent was so strong that I couldn't understand him.  Next, the prices they wanted were almost the price of a new printer.  So, I declined and wrote my post on the forum, but got no responses.  Yours is the first.  Then HP sent a survey.  I gave all bad scores. 
    In March I got an e-mail saying I had a one year warranty and would I like to extend it.  I called the number and got another India accented lady this time.  In the background a little kid's voice was saying "Mom, Mom".  This was not going to go well, I knew from the start.  So I explained my problem over again.  She told me to hold  a minute then came back and said my printer was out of warranty.  I read off the e-mail and she said that meant my printer had been out of warranty a year and was asking if I wanted to extend.  I asked the cost and again it was the price of the printer so I said NO.  She asked if I wanted help to solve my problem.  I asked if she was going to charge for it and she said Yes.  I told her I would just buy a different printer and hung  up.  HP sent another survey and I gave all bad scores again and wrote the comment that I will never buy another HP printer.  I heard Epson Printers are very good for photo work.  I will give them a try.
