Efax is a disaster on photosmart 7510

Efax is a disaster on HP photosmart 7510. I have tried many ways to make it works but have been impossible.

Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums, and thanks for posting! I can certainly understand your frustration with the issue regarding the eFax on your HP Photosmart 7510 e-All-in-One printer. I'd love to help you with this. HP released an update to correct the issues with the eFax app on this printer. You can find the instructions to download and apply the update to your printer here: HP Photosmart 7510, 7515, ENVY 110, 114 Printers - Restoring eFax Service. I hope this helps!

Efax not working on HP Photosmart 7510

I have an HP Photosmart 7510. I have always been able to use efax on it until recently. When I attempt to connect to efax, it asks me to log-in or register. When I try to log in, it says "Unable to log in. Touch Try Again to attempt to login again now, or touch Cancel and try again later." If I try to register with a brand new e-mail address, it says "Registration was unsuccessful. Check that you are connected to the internet, then try again." I can log into efax on their website, but not with my HP Photosmart 7510. I am able to use eprint services. I have sent something to my printer with eprint and it worked successfully. Eprint services and web services are both turned on. I have toggled on/off on both of them. My printer is connected to a wireless network. My computer and my iPhone are both able to access the internet so I don't believe its an issue with my wifi. I have turned the printer off and then turned the router off and then back on. I printed a Wireless Network Test Results Report. The report says "No problems found" and has pass on everything. I have unplugged the printer several times and then rebooted. I changed the DNS Server addresses to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 respectively. There are only 2 apps left on my main menu. When I attempt to touch an app, it gives me an error message "Your printer is not connected to a network. Please connect to a network and try again." I turned firewalls off on my computer (Acer 5737Z with Windows 7). What can I do? I think I have tried everything. Thanks so much for your help.

Issue setting up eFax on HP Photosmart 7510 e-All-in-One "Problem connecting to internet"

I'm having an issue setting up eFax on my new HP Photosmart 7510 e-All-in-One. I am following the on-screen instructions and receive an error "Problem connecting to internet" when trying to register the account. The ePrint service is working, and I can use the facebook app on the printer so it seems to be connecting to the internet. I am uncertain how to resolve the issue.

Let's set a static IP address and external DNS for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

Photosmart 7510 web services and efax no internet access

I finally got around to setting up my printer to work wirelessly. Everything seems to be working ok on the home network. I was also able to use the ePrint app on my iPad to print. But...when I select a web service or try to register for efax it tells me the printer does not have internet access. I did a quick check on my printer to give the printer a static IP to reduce problems later. I didn't see any issues with connectivity but may not have known what to look for. I'm not to concerned about the the web service apps but do want to get the efax working. According to the network configuration page I printed, the printer is connected, infrastructure mode, has an IP, and I'm not using MAC filtering. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello @BM84 ,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are getting an error message from your Photosmart 7510.
I would like to help.
For the web services portion, you could try setting a manual DNS.
I find Googles DNS works well with the printers.
Primary: 8.8.8.8
Secondary 8.8.4.4

I have a photosmart 7510 Is efax the only way I can send faxes? can I fax it manually another way?

Is efax the only way I can fax with a hp 7510?

[Please do not post duplicate questions in the forum.] The Photosmart 7510 only supports eFax, it does not have a phone line connection for a traditional fax. The user manual can be downloaded from HP here.

EFax unable to login - Photosmart 7510

I've used eFax up til today with no issues, when all of a sudden I got a prompt to log in to eFax on my 7150. Upon entering my credentials, I get "unable to login". I am pretty sure I know WHY this is happening, but don't know how to address it.
When logging in to the eFax site, you need to include dashes in between the area code, number, etc (i.e, 1-555-555-5555). Dashes are not an option when entering credentials on the 7510 (only #s - i.e, 15555555555). I'm pretty sure that is why it's not letting me in, but could be wrong. I see no way to include characters other than numbers when entering my eFax credentials on the 7510.
I did a search and see a lot of other folks having issues logging in to eFax from their HP device, but no solutions other than to create a new eFax account.
Help from HP or eFax would be appreciated.
Thanks.

HP Photosmart 7510 efax set-up

I have set up my HP Photosmart 7510 printer to operate wieless. I can print and I can write this message, but I can not register for efax because the printer panel says that I am not connected to the internet.

OK, the printer does not like the Westel DNS service - this is pretty common with DSLroutetrs.
Let's set a static IP address with an external DNS for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

Why does the eprint service on my HP Photosmart 7510 get disabled when it is powered off?

I bought this printer in January this year and I've had issue with the ePrint service not staying enabled when the printer turned off. Because of this I'm expereincing the following issues.
1. Efax is not working correctly. I can send faxes, but I cant recieve them. Also whenever I press fax on the printer it asks me to enable ePrint.
2. I can't print from my phone and other remote location.
3. The printer sometimes shuts down on its own and never finishes the shut down process.
4. When I check efax.com I can see the faxes we've recieved, but I can't see that any faxes have been sent.
5. I can see that faxes that were sent on the printer, but I can't see that anything has been recieved.
The printer is working great as a normal printer, but I kind of what to use all the ePrint services.
Here is the details on the printer.

I can't fax from my Photosmart 7510.

Please e-mail me at {Personal Information Removed} my old e-mail no longer works.
I am set up with eFax and ePrint, but I cannot fax from my Photosmart 7510. What do I do?

Hello again thelids,
Please for your privacy, do not post any iformation that can identify you, such as email addresses, or phone numbers. Now if you will go here and follow the steps under "Send a fax" it will tell you how to send a fax via eFax. Honestly it is pretty much the same as sending a fax the traditonal way. Just touch eFax, dial the number, put want you want to fax on the glass, or through the feeder no top, and start the fax. If you need anymore help, let me know.

Is there any difference between an HP Photosmart 7510 and 7520?

Is there any difference between the HP Photosmart 7510 printer and the 7520?
I have tried asking HP. They were not able to help. Presales advice for domestic customers appears to be virtually non existent in the UK.
All I know is that Argos deal with Ingram Micro to get the 7520.
Is the 7520 just a marketing ploy - selling the same product for a different price?

Yes there is a difference. They are not the same; however, they are based on the same platform (engine). The 7520 is the newer model which just replaced the 7510.
The main differences is the 7520 includes a hardware fax built-in whereas the 7510 used the efax utility in order to send faxes. This essentially allows you to fax directly from one fax machine to another without using a server based method.
Other features on the 7520 include addition of a Scan to email feature as well as the addition of a USB 2.0 port on the front of the printer.
You can find the complete 7520 product specs on the hp website:

Server Failed message on Photosmart 7510

What does "Server Failed" on the network diagnostics screen indicate? All other "Network Status" items have a green light. If I go through the Network Diagnostics, the end result is: "This computer appears to have working Internet connection, but cannot find Photosmart 7510 series blah blah. You may have typed the address incorrectly." I've never typed an address anywhere, so I don't know what that means.
Pressing the little bluetooth symbol on the printer touch screen indicates that I am connected to the network. Network name is right, all is good. Then I try to use the efax function and it says I am not connected a network.
Also, If I try to scan something to my computer from the touchscreen, it shows the two options: computer or memory card. I select "computer". It takes me to a screen that says, "You can start a scan from your computer OR scan to your computer from the printer". Yay! So I say OK and then it takes me back to the screen with the two options. Again, I select computer and again I get the happy message about being able to start a scan from either place, ad infinitum, endless loop of these two screens.
I have reinstalled the driver and I have done everything else I can think of. Yes, I have even restarted. Multiple times. Computer, printer and router. I have already spent more time on this than I have. Putting this out there and hoping someone can help. Thanks in advance!

Hello @rodeoamy ,
Welcome to the HP forum.
I understand that you are having a couple of issues with your Photosmart 7510. One with server connection and the other with scanning. I would like to help with these two problems.
The server connection message is about the web services feature on your printer. This gives the printer internet access for things like ePrint and eFax.
I noticed that your already posted on eFax users - please read. That is a great start.
If the web services are getting a Server failed message, then try a manual DNS.
happytohelp01, Posted the following with pictures. This would be a great place to start.

Don't worry, Cloud is a service based support, not warranty. So there is no fee.
When scanning to your computer from the printer, it should show you a list of available computers.
Sorry to hear about the endless loop.
I have sent you a private message, with something to try. Please read over this post by Bob_Headrick before performing the reset. Printer Resets: What You Should Know

HP PhotoSmart 7510 suddenly has severe connectivity issues

I have a HP PhotoSmart 7510 printer since about 2 months. Initial setup worked like a charm and the printer has been working pretty much perfectly for the last 2 months. Wireless printing, scanning and internet access on the printer (e.g. for Facebook photos) all worked. Just from time to time i would get the occasional (mildly annoying) message on my computer saying "scan to computer is currently unavailable" but it usually worked itself out and whenever I needed it to work, it did work.
But since a few days ago, it has some severe connectivity issues. I didn't change any settings on the printer, router or computer - the issues just started appearing by themselves. I startet getting much more frequent messages on my computer saying "scan to computer is currently unavailable". I noticed I couldn't print anymore, and restarting computer, printer and/or router didn't help at all. The only thing so far i managed to print wirelessly since the problems started were the first 5 pixel rows of an image I tried to print, the rest didn't transmit.
It seems the printer still connects to the WLAN but printing and scanning no longer work, and whenever I try to access a web service on the printer (like Facebook) it says it has no internet connection, even though the WLAN light is lit up (not blinking) and all the wireless status reports say "congratulations, no problems found" and display IPs etc. just like normal.
I looked at the threads "PhotoSmart 7510 connects to router, but not to the web.", "Wireless printer (HP Photosmart 7510) not connecting to network" and "Photosmart 7510 won't connect to Web Services" but they weren't a big help. Activating EWS didn't work because even though the printer showed its IP address to be 192.168.1.3, when I entered this in my web browser it didn't find the printers configuration page.
I tried the following steps from one of the threads:
1. Restore the Network defaults
2. Unplug the printers power cord while it is still on. Leave it unplugged and walk to the router.
3. While the router is still on, unplug the power cord from the router, leave it unplugged for 30 seconds, then reconnect the power cord to the router. Once plugged back in the router should power on automatically.
4. Plug the power cord back into the printer. Once plugged back in the printer should power on automatically.
5. Run the Wireless Setup Wizard to reconnect the printer to your wireless network.
6. Try enabling Web Services.
I followed these steps exactly. Interestingly, even though I had done step 1 and restored the network settings to factory defaults, after turning back on, the printer somehow still had its old settings saved and reconnected to the network.
It seemed to have fixed the problem, the printer finally had internet access again (Facebook app showed my photos) and scan to computer found my PC. But after just about 3 minutes, the printer had lost its internet connectivity again. When opening the Facebook app, it displayed the same error message it did before. And printing no longer worked as well.
So, what is wrong with this printer?! It has the newest software update by the way (I checked during the 3 minutes it had internet access.) My computer is a HP Windows 7 x64 machine (EliteBook 6930p) and the router I'm using is a Netgear WNDR3700.
I specifically bought this printer for my studies at university. In one week i have my exams and in order to study I REALLY need to be able to print some of my course materials! So any help as quickly as possible would be greatly appreciated. Or do you think this is a case for a warranty replacement, considering the printer's really strange and error-prone behavior?
Thanks a lot!

I can assure you that it is not a router issue. It appears to me that it is a driver compatibility with Windows OS. After trying to get to the bottom of this since my Photosmart 7525 was new and reading just about every forum and blog, I have come to the conclusion that the issue must be related to the HP driver itself.
The issue does not seem to affect any Mac systems, and from one forum someone was able to fix it by downloading new drivers compatible with 64-bit systems (which seem to not be affected by the glitch). But that leaves us 32-bit people stuck with the current driver which does not work.
The printer is connected with good signal to the wireless router (no matter who's router it is and what configuration is made). The printer can be pinged from the router and any computer on the network which is not currently being affected by this issue. However, the affected computer fails pings by either request timed out, or destination host unreachable. Pings are successful from the affected computer to any other device on the network. The only way to recover (at least for a few days) is to reboot the affected computer.
Also, from the display on the 7525, the network tests pass without issue. I can also download and print content from the internet with no issues.
Please do a quick google search of this issue and you will see several THOUSAND entries of people with the same request. This is a serious issue that people are having and everything is pointing to an HP problem (not routers, improper installation of software or drivers, etc...). I agree with several other customers that HP should be on the hook for this fix. I will give it another couple weeks, then back to the store for a reliable unit from another competitor (Canon, Lexmark, etc..)
Thank you in advance for escalating this issue to product engineering,
S. Hunn
