C5280 Print to CD/DVD

I have a Photosmart C5280. It used to print directly to CD/DVD with WinXP. Now under Win7 it says to pick a printer that supports printing to CD/DVD. It says that this is not supported. Also, I don't know if this is a clue, it says that it is a C5200 series, not a C5280.
I have installed, uninstalled, unplugged, turned off and reset in every way I can think of.

When uninstalling follow this article to ensure everything is removed:

This is very important as you do not want there to be any information left or registry left that may have been corrupted due to unknown reasons.
Are you reinstalling using the full featured software?

You're very much right. There are several different companies that make software that allows you to print directly to the CD/DVD. The link below will take you to a list of those software packages. Hope that helps.

How to print direct onto CD/DVD using HP PhotoSmart C5280 printer?

Hi,
I have spent my day attempting to find suitable software to design and print DVD covers direct onto the printable DVD surface.
My HP PhotoSmart C5280 printer has the ability to load DVD/CD into it for printing directly.
I have tried using the HP PhotoSmart Studio software and iWinSoft Label Maker but haven't paid for it yet as I can't get it to print on the actual DVD.
They both try to print and look and sound as if they are printing but no ink ends up on the disc. I have genuine HP cartridges and high quality printable DVDs.
If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it as I need to print personalised covers on my wedding DVDs for the guests and get them sent out for Christmas!
I don't really want to spend more than £20 and preferably nothing of course!
Thanks in advance,
Bradders

Hi,
To print from your ipad, both the printer and ipad must be connected to the same wifi network. Once this happens, when you select the print option you'll see your printer.

Cartridge H351XL doesn't work in C5280 printer !!

I bought a C5280 printer in the US 2 years ago (I lived there at that time). I used to buy 74X and 75X cartridges for it without any problem. Then when I was back to France and with no more X75X cartridge in my pocket, I tried to search it without success, apparently in France the only one available for this printer is the H351X ! But this one seems not working !! This message is shown: "Incompatible cartridge". But I'm sure this is the one that HP recommend for this printer at least for France.
Is there a new driver to install as I change the country ???
Is someone can help me ??? Thanks in advance

Did you get an answer from HP? Could you send me an email to tell me the procedure to follow to change the country code? I haven't received any call from HP after my talk with Bob 4 months ago.
I think all this online "help" is just to try to maintain the image of HP.

When I sent you a request for more information back on 3/25/2012 I suggested that if you had not heard anything within a week of sending me the information that you should let me know so I could follow up. Today was the first I have heard your problem was not resolved. I will remind my contact at HP once again.
Getting the information from another user would not help. The reset procedure requires some specific information from your printer and the codes from another user will not work.

How do i install a new printer with no dvd?

how do i install a new printer with no dvd?

Hook it up and see if it works. If it is one of the more common printer brands/models, it could very well have it's drivers installed, depending on how your OS was installed. If not, you can always go to the support site for your printer and download the drivers, if necessary.
What kind of printer do you have? What OS and how was it installed?

C5280 prints black page when copying and scanning

Can anybody help please.
C5280 prints a black page when I want to copy or scan but it prints ok from the computer. The light seems to be working on it. I am unable to reinstall with the disc as the CD drive is not working now. Does it need to be reinstalled.
Thanks for any help possible.

Hi @Dani77 ,
I see by your post that you are getting a black page when copying and scanning from the printer. You can print fine and you updated the HP software, the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet and you have the same results.
I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
I wasn't sure whether you just updated the printer software on the printer or the firmware.
If you haven't already, please update the printer's firmware. HP LaserJet Pro M1536dnf Multifunction Printer Drivers.
Disconnect the USB or Ethernet cable from the printer.
Make sure the printer is still connected directly to a 3 prong wall outlet.
Try making a copy with a blank sheet.
If the output is blank, then try and copy a text document.
I will send you another step to try in a private message.
In the forum beside your handle name just click on the envelope to view it.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet)
Please let me know the outcome.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Best practices for printing on a DVD?

I have Taiyo Yuden printable white (inkjet) DVDs and an Epson R280 - getting ready to try printing on the DVDs and was wondering any best practices?
- Print on the DVD before burning or after?
- Should I use the Epson software or is there an outside program that is better?
- Any other tips?
Thanks!

Hi Deborah -
Welcome! As Eric says above, never put labels on your DVDs. In many cases, the adhesive can eventually cause problems and irrevocably damage the disc.
So, going with "labeling" as in putting information on the disc about what it contains, these days, a regular consumer can actually just use an inkjet printer that offers the ability (usually a special tray). I have an Epson Stylus Photo R280 (and there are other Epson models), there are several HPs and a few Canons. My printer was actually free with a digital camera from Circuit City but would have retailed for $149 at the time, so they aren't really all that expensive. Just search for printers with that function and you'll find all your choices.
Then you want to buy inkjet-printable DVDs or CDs and you're off (and there are a bunch of options there - I found it easier to order online to get a good quality, long-lasting DVD that is inkjet printable - the supplies at the local office stores were not good)! Usually your printer comes with software to do the design/print but then Old Toad has a great recommendation above.
I'm printing with a new "watershield" DVD from Taiyo Yuden (which is known for it's quality and are long-lasting, up to 75 years, not that we'll be on DVD players then!) which makes an inkjet print "unsmudgeable." There are a few other brands like that or some people use a spray on them because the downside to inkjet is that it can smudge if you touch with moist fingers or if anything wet touches it. Water shield DVDs are magical, I've found - makes a glossy print (even though inkjet) and locks in the design so it's smudgeproof. Still they are more expensive than others. I'd probably search around the forum here or other forums on DVDs and CDs if you want to look into them more.
Good luck!
Alexa
p.s. I was told that if you absolutely can't print on them, then to use a thin Sharpie with minimal writing on the DVD. I think some stores sell "DVD safe" pens but I've never been convinced that they are anything but a sharpie at a premium price - maybe someone else on here will know.

HP Photosmart C5280 prints photo's on the backside the photopaper

Hello,
When I'm trying to print out a photo, my HP Photosmart C5280 prints the photo on the backside of the photopaper. If lay the paper on the other side, the printer says I should turn it back. What should I do?

Hi there z45I150,
First lets try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
To make sure there are no software glitches causing the problem. It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on. Additionally can you tell us what program you are printing from?
Best of Luck!

My HP C5280 printer with Air Port Express cannot be found on my IPad . Any suggestions?

MYIpad Wi Fi cellular cannot connect to my HP c5280 printer with AirPort Express.

It appears that the HP C5280 is not an AirPrint compatible printer, so I would not expect it to work when you try to print from an iPad.......unless you want to try to install additional software.....like Printopia.....on a Mac on the network to see if that might allow printing.
There is a free trial with Printopia, so if you want to give it a try, you will know if it will work before you buy. More details in the link below.
There are other Apps that perform this type of service as well, but I have not used them. Hopefully, other users will have some other suggestions in that regard.

Are you tyring to write your photo files to a DVD ?
Or are you trying to print to a paper label on a DVD disc?
Also, I suggest that you describe the process that you are attempting (like which menu commands or buttons you used).

Since upgrading to lion and updating HP software my printer (photosmart D5160) will not print to CD/DVD when I try it says my printer doesn't support CD printing. any help will be welcome

Since upgrading to lion and updating HP software my printer ( HP photosmart D5160 driver 3.3.0) will not print to CD/DVD,when I try it says "your printer does not support CD printing". any help will be welcome.

I see those are old posts above but I'm just now having the same problems. I have the original software CD that came with my Photosmart D5160 printer but I can't load it. I get the message "You can't open the application "HP Installer" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported". So I don't have that going for me, which is not nice! But I couldn't really care less about that if I can just find a CD labeler software that will print from my Mac to the D5160. I'd rather by new CD labeler software than a new printer. I've tried a few free CD labeler software downloads, including iWinSoft Label Maker, but nothing has worked so far. I think there's an answer somewhere; I'm able to print documents on regular paper using this printer, but I only bought it (many years ago) to print CD labels and some pictures. It's been used only sparingly and it's been in storage since I bought my Mac 3 years ago, mainly because a I got a free printer with my purchase. Any help is vertainly appreciated!!!

All-in-one that prints to cd/dvd

Hello, is there a printer/copier/scanner /fax that prints to cd/dvd? I've googled around and I can't come up with a HP product. I hope this is in the correct forum. Thanks

It's good to know that you're planning to stick with HP. the C309a is a pretty new printer with all the features you can think of. It has the potential to become my favourite printer, and so far havent heard of any major problems with it. So i hope you have the same experience with this printer.

Can't print to CD/DVD on Epson Artisan 810

I'm trying to print to the CD/DVD tray on the Epson Artisan 810. The option is greyed out (disabled) on the dialogue box, and I've found no help on the internet.
I'm connected via Wi-Fi, have installed the requisite Epson & OSX drivers, and can print and scan without issue.
Anyone have any success printing to CD/DVD? Is there something I'm missing?
