How can I print to HP Photosmart 8750 Professional printer?

Hello to all.
I have a G3 400 mhz. Blue and White, with Sonnet upgrade to G4 1 gig. Print jobs stopped on HP Photosmart 8750 Professional printer, possibly after upgrading to OS 10.4.10 (printer connected via USB). After reading discussions on this forum, I reset printer system, started from OS disk and repaired permissions and hard drive, ran Tech Tool Pro, did an Archive and Install, downloaded latest drivers from HP, etc. etc.
Now, in HP Setup Assistant, printer is not listed in window, therefore unable to continue with installation. Printer does not show up in Print and Fax and I cannot add printer, as the driver is never installed. Purchased a new USB 6 ft. cord (only 6 ft. allowed for this printer).
Have not used it, as I cannot plug it in until printer listed in window and recognized. Upgraded to 10.4.11, hoping it would solve problem. No such luck. Printed a sample page and test page, and printer worked. Please send detailed instructions, listing each step in successive order. Thank you for your efforts to solve this problem.

10.4.x supports the 8700 printer series and has a driver built in for it.
It will not hurt the printer to plug it into the computer at anytime. I have the hp Photosmart 3310 and it doesn't give a hoot about this.
I would do this.
Do this without the hp installation program.
Restart the computer,
restart the printer.
plug the printer into the mac and see if the mac will find it with these instructions.
This is Apple's instructions
1. Disconnect and reconnect every cable between the computer and the printer. Make sure all cables are firmly inserted.
2. USB printers only: Switch the USB cable connection from the current USB port to another USB port.
3. USB printers only: Open Apple System Profiler and click the Devices and Volumes tab. If the printer still does not appear, try a different cable.
4. Try to print again.
Once the printer connects you may want to install any specific hp stuff off the disk.

When printing two-sided from my Mac on landscape A4 with 2 columns, how can I get my HP Photosmart 6520 to print the same way up?

When printing two-sided from my Mac on landscape A4 with 2 columns, how can I get my HP Photosmart 6520 to print the same way up?

Or, it is set the other way around (which makes more sense). Even though you are in Landscape mode, it is binding on the Long Side of the paper. Since you are in Landscape, you would want it to bind on the short side.
Think of the Binding like a Book. How would you flip the finished pages to read the “book.” Where it would be bound in the imaginary book is how you want it to print.

Hp Photosmart 8750 - Trouble printing in color using 8750 as networked printer.

Hi,
I have an HP Photosmart 8750 Professional printer direct connected to a Win XP computer through the USB port. It is designated as a network (shared) printer. The printer works fine printing from the XP computer as I am able to set the print jobs to be controlled by the application I am using.
However, one of the computers on the network has a Windows 7 64-bit operating system. The computer recognizes the 8750 but I am only able to set the color management on the printer properties menu box to either ColorSmart/sRGB or AdobeRGB. There is no option to have the color management 'controlled by application'. Because of this, I am unable to print colored text in documents, at least in those created by Microsoft Office, Wordpad, or Adobe Reader. (Only programs I have tried to print with so far).
Is there a work around for this problem?

Hey @9redsoxfan9 ,
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to ask that question on the HP Forums today!
I understand you are on your second HP Photosmart printer and you are experiencing the same issue of not printing color that led you to throwing out your old one. You have done the alignments, cleaning and even replaced the cartridges.
You have done all the troubleshooting I would have got you to do so I recommend you call HP Technical Phone Support.
If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
HP printers generally have a 1 year warranty from their purchase date, you can verify the warranty using the following link if you would like; warranty check.
I hope this helps. Have a great day!

How can i us the parallel port of the printer to control a frequenz-generator?

Hello all !
I like to control with LabVIEW 8 student-version, the Frequenz-generator gadget . For this challenge i like to us the parallel port of the printer. I need for data flow only 2 cable. The frequenz-generator gadget need two signal : Low and High.How can i us the parallel port of the printer to control a frequenz-generator gadget? I have us the VIs-Visa (Visa-Serial, write, Close ), but i dont no what command i have to write on the Visa-Write so that the Signal can be in the low or high position.
Thanks

Hi Jeanjac,
first, look here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_port
to get the port numbering. also, be sure not to leave pin unconected, sometimes you might get an error message otherwise (i remember pin11 has to be always connected or so for windows...)
second, just run the test panel in MAX and write something to your device to check if it works.
then in LV, you have to decide to which pin is connected your instrument. in any case you have to address all 8 output pins together! this is a parallel...
if you prefere to use only one pin, then you can use the serial port, with just pin 2 and 3 connected. it would work easier for you, since you address only one bit.

How can I change the fonts in "contacts" when printing mail labels

How can I change the fonts in "contacts" when printing mail labels ? I used to be able to do this but in Mavericks this ability seems to have gone away. Am I missing something ?

Actually in my case it doesn't work. I used to be able to pull up the font window with it but the button merely flickers when I click it. The image selection button and font color both are functional. WEIRD. I don't think this is a Mavericks issue as I recall having it come up with one of my user profiles before installing. Now I can't make it happen with either of my user profiles.
I don't seem to have printing issues in other applications. And I recently reset the fonts in a futile attempt to correct this.
I may post a new topic in Mail Contacts and Calendar if there is no response here after a bit.

How do I get my HP Photosmart 7960 to print the page numbers on a multi-page project?

How do I get my HP Photosmart 7960 to print the page numbers when printing a multi-page project?

Hi,
This has most likely nothing to do with the printer but with the program you are using to print. For example Word has a setting for this, so let me know which program and I might be able to check for you.
