Cannot get printer function back from copy function

On several occasions my printer switches to a function other tha "print" and I cannot get the print function back.  It seems like it should be a simple task but I have tried everything including turning it off and on.  The computer data indicates that the proper printer is chosen.  Thanks

Hello @jbg1946,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that occasionally you are not able to print from your Windows Vista computer to your HP PSC 2510 Photosmart All-in-One Printer. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue. Now,  you indicate in your post that your machine seems to switch functions. This is quite unusual as your printer should only perform the tasks that was asked of it. When you send the print command, your printer should print. When you select Copy on the front panel of your printer, your machine should Copy. When you want to scan and and select the Scan button, your machine should scan. If you're selecting the print button on the computer, but the printer fails to print, this would indicate a potential hardware on the printer or a software/driver issue on the computer, rather than a switch of functions. 
To start troubleshooting I am going to have you download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor Tool. This Tool will run on your computer and 'fix printing' issues for you. Should any driver, software, or connection conflicts be found than the HP Print and Scan Doctor Tool will attempt to resolve those conflicts for you.
Please click here to download the HP Print and Scan Doctor Tool. Once the website opens select the Download button on the top left. If prompted, please allow the download to Run. Once the download is complete follow the onscreen prompts to 'fix printing'. Once the HP Print and Scan Doctor Tool has completed, please test printing again.
Should the issue persist, please let me know if you ever get any error messages either on the computer or on the printer when you try to print and it fails.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!
X-23

  • I cannot get time capsule back "on line" (green)

    I cannot get time capsule back "on line" (green); tried reset button; tried unplugging everything; comes back on flashing amber, won't get back to green; computer now can't find my network.
    what now?

    Ok.. we still need to know how are you connected to the TC.. YOU not the cable side.. the YOU side.
    Are you using wireless or ethernet to your computer? If not please plug in ethernet and turn off the airport in the computer.
    Now reopen the airport utility.. can it find it..
    If not press the reset on the TC for 10sec.. until the led on front flashes rapidly.
    The AU should now find the TC.
    Make sure you leave the TC in router mode.. unfortunately the later AU tends to bridge the TC without permission from you.. one of those extra helpful things Apple did.
    If you are still on Lion download and use 5.6 utility. It is far superior.

    You can also load it into ML but it is tricky.

    Apple have removed useful functions and ease of use.. although I guess they would disagree with the later.

    How do I get my money back from an iCluod storage plan upgrade that I don't want?

    You can cancel an iCloud storage upgrade within 15 days of buying:
    Apple have made this as difficult as possible. However two posters have managed to achieve this. Elizellen was able to use Express Lane to get a refund:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19323996#19323996
    However if you use Express Lane may find you cannot proceed without entering a hardware serial number which is still eligible for AppleCare.  julia22 managed to find a way round that by phoning them - please see this post:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16968425#16968425
    it gives the USA number - if you don't live there you will have to find an equivalent number from the 'Contact Us' link at bottom right of this page.
    If it is more than 15 days since you purchased the storage you cannot cancel it for a refund; you can downgrade your plan as from your next renewal date. Please see
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmd602084a
    and expand 'Downgrade your storage for the next plan year'.

  • How can I get specific files back from my Time Machine backup?

    I wanted to make a fresh install on my MacBook Pro, in order to only have Java 8 instead of any older Java versions. So far so good. But now I want to get specific files/libraries from my external backup (USB):
    One Parallels Virtual Machine
    My old mail
    My iPhoto Library
    I don't need any settings for these, since I can easily configure them again.
    I already used the Migration Assistent to restore all apps.
    How can I get specific data back from the backup without restoring all stuff that I don't want anymore?
    I'm now working on a new account on the fresh system, called 'Admin'. My old account was called 'Hans' (or 'hans') and I'd like to create such an account again for all my tasks.

    You will want to add the same User account(s) which hold the data you want to restore. So you will want to add a User account of 'Hans or hans'. Check your Time Machine back up drive to see how the User account is labeled (Hans or hans). Navigate to the Users folder and see how it's labeled.
    You can then use your Time Machine back up drive and navigate to the User Home folder to copy its data over (e.g. contents from Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, etc.). Repeat for other Users.

  • HT203167 So my iPhone was stolen and most of the music on there was on a computer that I don't have anymore. Is it possible to get those songs back from my stolen phone or are they gone?

    So my iPhone was stolen and most of the music on there was on a computer that I don't have anymore. Is it possible to get those songs back from my stolen phone or are they gone?

    For iTunes purchased music you might be able to re-download it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then unless you had subscribed to iTunes Match and uploaded it to it from your computer then no, it won't be stored anywhere

  • Function modules from the function pool Z_MEREP_G (Message no. MEREP_00530)

    We installed a new system and imported the syncbo definitions to this new system.
    After the import and generation of all T01 SyncBOs we get an error. E.g. for MAM25_016:
    Function modules from the function pool Z_MEREP_GEN_T01_MAM25_016 contain syntax errors
    Message no. MEREP_00530
    After investigation the following syntax error is shown:
    Source code   LZ_MEREP_GEN_T01_MAM25_016U04                  Line     641
    The FORM "MAM25_016_CONV_NAME" does not exist, but there is a FORM with the similar name "MAM25_016_I_CONVERSION".
    "MAM25_016_I_CONVERSION".
    We are already using three systems D -> Q -> P. The export/import of files between these systems work okay. But not with the new system. All are on NW04 SPS 18. In the other systems the form is available.
    Does someone have an idea how to solve this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Benjamin de Rijke

    Hello Rahul / Karthick,
    Thanks for the tip, I already reimported these with no effect. Next to this I deleted the function modules for a Z-syncbo (our own developed one). But this didn't help as well.  The MAM-SyncBO function group can not be deleted because the system is not a developement system. We are not allowed to develop things in this environment.
    I have the feeling that it has something to do with the initial setup of this system. All the others were first on SPS15 were we developed the SyncBOs. At a certain time we updated the systems to SPS18 and developed further. No issues so far regarding the import / export of the files from D to Q and P.
    Now we initial installed a new system on SPS18 and on this one the generation failes with the mentioned syntax error.
    Kind regards,
    Benjamin

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup, not good, then you can redownload some purchases in some countries.

    Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match , Apple does not keep a backup of your iTunes library.  Even then it is not the library as it exists on your computer, but some version of the media, and only media files, not playlists.  Even then not all media are definitely available since anything removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it is not available for re-download.

    In your case it sounds like you will have to obtain non iTunes purchases from their original source or a backup you may have made at some time in the past.

  • I have updated my mac from snow leopard to mountain lion 3 days back. I had some important data in my library folder and it got overwritten. Is there any way i can get the data back from my snow leopard library folder?

    I have updated my mac from snow leopard to mountain lion 3 days back. I had some important data in my library folder and it got overwritten. Is there any way i can get the data back from my snow leopard library folder?
    I tried mackeeper to recover files but it could not. Any other way any one has tried to recover a system library folder after OS upgrade?

    No, it doesn't store a clone. You would have needed to make one with either SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.
    If the files were in your ~/Library folder then they may still be there. As I said, you can access it by
    going to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library". I wouldn't think an upgrade would overwrite anything in ~/Library.
    If you have a Time Machine backup you may also be able to use that to retrieve them.

    If you no longer have the phone or have any Backup of it at all, you can re-download your apps and your content from the iTunes Store by logging into your Apple ID at settings> iTunes & App Store. Unfortunately you can no longer recover the data that was associated with those apps.
    So far as your photos go, you can recover any photos that were in photo stream and taken less than 30 days ago by logging in with your Apple ID to settings> iCloud> photos. Unfortunately you will be unable to recover any photos from your camera roll.

  • How do i get my contacts back from io5 update on my iphone 4

    how do i get my contacts back from io5 update on my iphone 4

    Although contacts are included with the iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer and/or over the air with an email account that supports it, and there are several that do which are free.
    Not a good idea to depend on the iPhone or any cell phone alone for contacts which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair. If the contacts are available elsewhere as designed and intended, it doesn't matter if there is a problem with your iPhone's backup in regards to this data.
