Can't print color to HP Photosmart 7520 from MacbookPro

I have been unable to print color to my HP printer from my Macbook Pro. All prints come out in black and white regardless of what program they are printed from. It it not a printer problem as I am able to print from my iPad in color. Running OS X 10.6.8. Any ideas?

Have you checked out all of the settings on the printer to make sure that you don't, somewhere, have Print as Grayscale ticked? I know that's an option for my Canon and I have several printer settings setup to print in grayscale on a variety of media and sizes.

  • I can't print on my HP Photosmart C309a from my new Mac book air

    I bought a new mac book  air and with the new version system iOS X 10.9.1 I can´t print. I try to add it as a printer and it posts, ¨Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.¨. Is there anything I can do???

    Hi gachy1,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I understand you are unable to install the printer on Maverick.
    I will be happy to help you.
    I have provided the URL for setting up the printer with the Apple Software Updates.
    OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
    Make sure when you add the printer it shows the printer's name and not Airprint.
    (you might have to click the dropdown to select the printer's name)
    This document shows you 3 different ways you can scan on the Maverick.
    How to Scan: OS X v10.9.
    Hope this resolves your issue.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
    Have a good day!

  • Can I print in just black and white from my iPad to an hp5510 photosmart printer?

    Can I print in just black and white from my iPad to an hp5510 photos mart printer? 
    It seems ePrint is no longer available and now forced to use HP Connect. I am not seeing the option to print in black and white. Printing email messages in color is a waste of ink. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I was using ePrint however that is auto-directing me to HPConnected and I no longer have the option to change the printing options to Black and White or Color. This is a recent change for me.

    Hi,
    Yes, you have to use HP Connected now. Do you use AirPrint or ePrint ? ePrint allows you to select Color or Grayscale under Color mode (note: Grayscale ALSO uses color inks).
    Regards.

  • I can only print 1 copy at a time from indesign booklet on my xerox d95

    I can only print 1 copy at a time from indesign booklet on my xerox d95>

    I've never used Print Booklet or your printer, but some things are determined by the printer and printer software, rather than the program from which you are printing. You might want to see if Xerox's website has any info also.

  • Can't print web pages or e-mail from Firefox after update

    Since the last update, to 7.0.1, I can't print web pages or e-mail from my Yahoo! account. The computer says it can't communicate with the printer. I can print from Internet Explorer, Word, and Adobe Acrobat so I don't know why the computer is not communicating with the printer using Firefox. I am still running Windows XP--does this version of Firefox requires a newer version of Windows?

    Try the '''''reset''''' described here: <br />

  • HT204003 how can i print a boarding pass image file from passbook?

    how can i print a boarding pass image file from passbook?

    I do not believe that Passbook supports printing. You can email, but not print. Then again I'm not sure what it actually emails, if that is a graphic of the card or what. I'm going to try it with my Starbuck's card, but there is no setting for printing within Passbook.
    EDIT: Actually it sends the email as an attachment for a Passbook card file, that cannot be handled by my computer. Hope that answers your question.

  • Printer Driver for HP Photosmart 7520 for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and 10.3 and 10.5

    I just purchased a new HP Photosmart 7520 printer.  One of my Macs at home is an iMac G5 that is running Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.  It connects to the HP printer via Wi-Fi.  HP does not provide drivers for Mac OS 10.4 for the Photosmart 7520 printer.  I tried all sorts of old HP drivers and finally found one that worked, so I figured I would post here to help out anyone else who is trying to solve the same problem.  The driver download you need is the OS 10.4 driver for the Photosmart C7250 All-In-One printer.  Here is the link to the download page:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-55650-2 &cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=219&product=3382185&sw_lang=
    After downloading and installing the drivers, I ran the HP Printer Setup Utility.  It was not able to detect my printer.  I had to go to System Preferences on my Mac and add the printer manually in the Print & Fax control panel.  The Print & Fax control panel was not able to auto-select the correct driver to use, so I selected "HP" from the "Print Using" drop-down list, and then selected "HP Photosmart D7400 Series" from the "Model" list.  That worked for me.  Good luck!
    According to the driver download page, this driver will work for Mac OS X v10.3.9, v10.4 and v10.5

    Thank you very much, I just bought this printer without paying attention to the compatibility of my Imac. Thanks to you, I just install it without too much difficulty. Thank you again.
    Merci beaucoup, je viens d'acheter cette imprimante sans faire attention à la compatibilité de mon Imac. Grace à vous, je viens de l'installer sans trop de difficulté. Encore merci.

  • Can't print color in Excel Spread sheets on a HP 2605dn

    We are using a PCL 6 driver. Other types of files print color ok. No Excel files will print color on the HP 2605dn printers. The same files will print on other model printers. We have changed all of the various color settings in the printer Properties. Window XP SP2. MS Office XP. Any ideas will be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Based on its manual (document c03026243.pdf, pp 164, 165 & 166) you can't use tray 2 to print envelopes, you can ONLY use tray #1.
    Hope this answers your question.

  • Can not connect to server HP Photosmart 7520

    i am getting "cannot connect to server" on touchscreen for HP Photosmart 7520 when trying to access apps like "samples". Wifi router name and connection verified in settings. Have tried replugging printer and resetting router with no change. Items will still eprint from iPad2, computer and smartphone though...

    Hi there, try the following:
    Copy the printers IP address into the URL bar of the browser of your choice on an internet connected device (laptop/smartphone/tablet) that is on the same network as the printer 
    This will open the printers embedded web server page (EWS)
    Click on the "Network" tab on the page (see the example for a PS 6510 below)
    Set a manual DNS server setting using the values in the image below (8888 / 8844)
    Click Apply and try accessing apps from the printer front panel again 
    Hope this information helps resolve the problem.
    Best

  • HP Deskjet D4160 can't print color when connected to express.

    When I connect my Air to my HP Deskjet D4160, I can print in color. When I connect it to my Airport Express running the 6.3 software, it shows up fine in the printer tab, and I can add it correctly to my Air in the system prefs (it also finds the correct driver in 10.5.5), but when I print color it just comes out grayscale.
    Any ideas?

    All I can suggest at this point is to check with HP to make sure you have the latest drivers available for your printer.
    Not all printers are compatible with the USB port on the Express, especially lower priced printers which are often designed to only work if they are attached directly to a computer.

  • Printer cartridge for HP Photosmart 7520

    I bought a new HP Photosmart 7520. When changing the photo black inkt cartridge I used one of the catridges I bought some time ago for my former printer.  The cartridge is from the 364 series, the production date (?) stamped on the box reads IRELAND Oct 2010.  The printer does not accept the cartridge displaying an error message which (translated from Dutch) reads: Incompatible older generation cartridge installed.  Does this mean that I have to through away the 364 cartridges I still have left?

    Hello there, Welcome to the Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience
    I read your post about the message you are seeing when installing an ink cartridge you had purchased some time ago. I have located some information about the message you're seeing and I'de like to share that with you.
    I hope this helps clear up any confusion.

  • Can't print color seps anymore...

    After updating to CS5, I now do not have the "color separation" option in ouput options.  It will only print composite.  Any idea how to fix so that I can print color sep's in Illustrator and what changed?

    Have you installed (and selected) the correct printer driver?

  • Can't print color jewel case inserts anymore

    I've noticed that with the last two updates of iTunes I can't print CD jewel case inserts in color anymore (The "Mosaic", "White Mosaic", and "Single Cover" choices are supposed to print in full color (and always have until recently) - they print in black and white now). I can still print in color in every other application (Safari, Pages, etc.)

    I have exactly the same issue. Does anyone have a fix?

  • Print shop can't print color correctly.

    Hi there,
    I work at a print shop and occasionally run into problems with documents being difficult to print, but this one is especially troubling.  Out print shop does not have Photoshop but rather "Photo Impact..."  I know, don't get me started.  The issue is that I have a particular customer how did some designing in Photoshop CS4 (CS something) and it looks beautiful on his macbook but different on our PC (no matter what program we use to open any of his files- TIFF, PNG, JPG, etc). When printing to our Xerox Docucolor 252 the color is real dark and way less vivid/bright.
    I tried the file on my home computer (PC with CS4) and it again looks great.  When I print it on my home printer (Canon ip6700d) the printed colors are much closer to the screen even though I get an error telling me the printer is a non-postscript printer and so it will ignore some of the document properties.  This leads me to believe that since the Xerox is a postscript enabled (I think) printer it is using data I know nothing about to darken and dirty the image.  This is way outside of my knowledge and I would love to figure this out.
    We have tried converting the image both to CMYK and RGB and have played around with the different color profiles, sRGB, Adobe RGBxxx etc. with very suble changes but nothing acceptable.  I think we are to the point where the customer would be ok to start from scratch but if he doesn't know what to do differently I think we'll be right back here again.
    Any suggestions?  I'm frustrated and desperate to figure this out!
    Thank for any ideas,
    -Stephen

  • WorkCentre 7535 can't print color

    Hi, just installed Xerox Global Print Driver PCL6 version 5.433.6.0N, and we're unable to print color now. When I go to "Image Options" tab under Printing Preferences, my only option there is "Xerox Black and White Conversion". But whether I have it checked or unchecked, the document still prints black and white. Any suggestions?

    Make sure the driver correctly identified the device:  Also check in CWIS that BW is not set as a default, as that option often has a compatibility issue that makes it a "Policy" as in many drivers will no longer honor color settings at all when enabled.
