Getting printer to print using usb cable instead of eprint

I have a HP Photosmart5520, how do I get the printer to print using a usb cable?

Hi mrgloops,
Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I understand that you would like to setup and use your Photosmart 5520 with a USB cable.
I have included several documents on how to set up your printer with a USB connection.  You didn't indicate which operating system you are using so I have included the links for all the supported operating systems.

  • My ipad won't charge.  All I get is picture of white USB cable and iTunes Logo.

    My ipad won't charge.  I must admit, I did use it until there was only 2% power left and then went and plugged directly into power and not through PC... but it won't charge.  All I get is picture of white USB cable, an arrow and the iTunes Logo.  I have turned off and on again as previous posts but all I get is the picture of the USB cable, arrow and iTunes logo.  Please help...

    I have been relatively patient - 3 hours on charge but all it does is show picture of USB cable and itunes logo. It it were charging you would think that a picture of the charge would come up to indicate status of charge - wouldn't you think?

    Since you use the term "PC," are you using an Apple computer or something that is Windows based?

  • I got a new Ipad 2 and I am trying to get it work in vain. I have downloaded the iTunes on my PC, but even after executing the program nothing happens to the IPAD. I still get the image of the USB cable and the iTunes logo. What am I doing wrong?

    You know that you have to connect the iPad to your PC with the cable that came with it -  and then iTunes should start automatically and it will guide you through the set up process?
    If you have already tried to connect the iPad - and you have launched iTunes - and you still have no luck - reboot your PC and then begin the process again.

  • Why do I get a blue screen using USB communication?

    Hello,
    My problem is that sometimes I get a blue screen using USB communication. I guess that most of the time the problem is an overflow in memory, so I read all the data that is on the port with which I communicate. I read two ports so there are two similar VIs that are used. There is how I do it:
    I also communicate with a logger to acquire 16 channels. I read the information from the logger in two different parts of the program at the same time. Maybe this can cause an issue, but could it cause a blue screen? This is how I do it:
    I once had a blue screen after the VI was closed, so there is how I manage to close the communication when I quit:
    Do you think there can be any problem coming from one of these parts of my LV project? If not, what else can cause a blue screen in LabVIEW?

    Are you using USB to GPIB (doubtful because you are using bytes at port)? But, just inc ase, I had this problem also with USB to GPIB, and it ended up being a driver issue I believe. If you are using USB to GPIB driver that was released with LV2012, search for the latest 2012 driver on NIs site, download it, and use that. See if it fixes your problem

  • Mx860 won't print. printer not responding using usb cable.

    MX860 was working fine.  Now any attempt to print from any pc, either wirelessly or even using high-speed USB cable results in "printer not responding" error message.  Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Yes my friend I am from Iraq and I work in the field of sale and maintenance of printers canon inkjet only five years ago
    Now first of all clear the software for printers that are on your computer
    I mean that you delete programs and printers
    Now unplug all printers that you have from your computer
    Restart the computer
    Now Put your installation disk in the drive
    Or download the installation program for the printer from Canon site
    On the following link

  • HP Envy 4500 wireless will not print without USB cable

    My HP Envy 4500 wireless printer/scan/copier does not seem to be able to work without the USB cable.  I followed the instructions provided to change for USB to wireless but it will not work without.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software.  I have windows 7 on my laptop and an IPod both of which show that the printer is showing.  I made it the default printer.   The first time I tried to do it (without the USB cord) I was unable to get passed putting in my wireless password which starts with a capital K and wasn't certain how to make a capital so reread instructions and used the USB but really want to use it wireless.  Any suggestions.  I turned the firewall off this morning to try but to no avail.  If I do need to turn the firewall off would I then put it back on if it gets working?  I would so appreciate any suggestions!

    @Chaitaishanwelcome to the community,
    I understand you're having some difficulties when trying to set your Envy 4500 up on your wireless network. I have looked around and found this guide for you to try out. If you run into any error messages, codes, issues, etc, please let me know the specific details and I will continue to research if need be.

  • Is it possible to connect HP DESKJET 1510 All-in-One series Wireless printer without USB cable?

    my mom recently bought me the HP DESKJET 1510 All-in-One series so i have an at home printer for school work. but when we bought it we did not know there was a certain USB that had to connect to the printer. so we bought the wrong one. now i have a project due and i cannot print. we have a small USB that fits it but its hard to connect it to the computer and printer because its so small. so if we can have it sent to the printer without the USB that would be perfect!

    Hi,
    No, in many cases printers won't come with USB cables. You need a cable which is similar to the following one:

  • How to print directly to printer using USB and Bluetooth from Java (J2ME) app.

    I write mobile phone apps in Java (J2ME). I want to print directly to a printer via USB and via Bluetooth. I cannot use a print job with the Java available to me. Once upon a time you could just send text and print control characters to a printer. I would like to be able to do that again. Alternatively could you provide a 'skeleton' data stream into which I could insert my code to produce what is sent to the printer when a print job is used with Java on a laptop or PC. I just want to sent simple text with a little formatting. 

    Hi,
    As far as printing to devices not all devices support Bluetooth. Many devices support Bonjour protocal, IPP. The main print port is 9100. Additionally you can see what IO protocols are supported on a product by looking at the EWS (Embedded WebServer) there should be a networking page with that information.  Port 9100 is your basic print port and different devices will support different formats (PDF, JPEG, PCL5, PCL6). If there is an API you can find (i am not familiar with J2ME availible calls, then you can use those and send the data to port 9100. Again that is the basic path most printers will accept. not all devices support bonjour not all device support bluetooth etc... Hope that helps and good luck.

  • Photosmart c4780 using usb cable

    I used to use my printer wirelessly but i have now moved house and now have no wireless. I tryed to connect my printer using the usb cable but there is a pop up saying that "the usb device has not been recognized". I have reinstalled the drivers several times after following the help files but the message hasn't changed. I have also made sure my windows (7) is updated but to no affect on the printer. 

    Hi there, does the software install on your PC? Click Start\All Programs\HP\ and a folder with the printer name should be listed. What happens when you try sending a print job to the printer? 
    I know you've tried reinstalling already but I'm going to include a link here to instructions for Installing the Printer Software in Windows 7 for a USB Cable Connection http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02282602&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=e...
    Whichever method you use to download the driver, make sure you unplug the USB cable from the PC before you start installing the software.
    Hope this information helps.

  • Using Usb cable?

    I have tried using various mini USB cables to connect my BB to my desktop PC
    I have used a cable with separate power and with out. I always get a message saying there needs to be a connection with more power.
    How is that achieved?
    Thank you

    This may be due to the USB port not being a high-powered USB port, try another USB port in your CPU to see if that rectifies the issue....

  • External HDs not recognized by iMac when using USB cable

    I just bought a new iMac & plugged in my two Western Digital 1tb drives using the supplied USB cables and neither of them are recognized by my iMac.
    I've been using both of these drives with my other G5 iMac using the firewire cables & have not had any issues. I also purchased an adapter (USB -->firewire 800) and each hard drive mounts ... but neither will mount using the USB connections.
    Any suggestions as to how I can get the second drive to work using the USB cable ...
    Thanks,
    Brent

    +do I need to move the contents of the external drive off the unit before the partition?????+
    YES! Absolutely! The partitioning process erases the drive, so you need to temporarily copy data onto your old Mac.
    +how do I achieve this? I'm guessing there's a piece of hardware that I'll need to connect the two hard drives together and then feed another line into the iMac ... correct?+
    All you need are firewire cables (hard drive to hard drive to iMac). See Dennis' link and the excerpt here:
    +Question 7: Can FireWire devices be connected in a daisy chain?+
    +Answer: Yes, and if the devices are designed according to the FireWire standard, they can be turned on and off as needed. For example, all devices don't need to be powered on to use the last device in the chain. For the best result, and to avoid overstressing the FireWire port, connect one FireWire device to the Macintosh, then add one device at a time to the chain. Avoid plugging in live power adapters into devices connected to the chain.+
    And congratulations on your new iMac - you'll love it; I got mine about a month ago.

  • Can't import photos using USB cable

    I have a Canon 5D Mark III and LR 4.3. I normally import photos using a CF card reader. However, I'm on vacation and only have the USB cable that connects the camera to my Macbook Pro. I've used this successfully in the past to import photos, but I'm now getting the following error:
    I get this whether I select one or multiple photos (there are about 195 on the card right now).
    Any ideas?

    When I plug my 5DIII into the Macbook Pro, I don't see it on the desktop. It does appear when I open Image Capture or Lightroom. I tried importing from Image Capture, but that doesn't seem to work either. It hangs on the first file. Is there any way to get the 5DIII to appear on the desktop so I can just drag the files over?
