HP All in One-7520

My 7520 HP printer is 1 1/2 to 2 years old. Just enough to be out of warranty. My daughter went to print something  yesterday and it did not print. It looked like it was out of ink. Only we had just installed a new black ink earlier in the week and she had printed maybe 30 copies tops since. But because she had a deadline for school, I installed the second black ink cartridge that I had today. This time she printed 5 copies and then it stopped printing again. I didn't know if this is a common thing? Does it mean the printer is junk? The ink is bad or what. i don't have a clue???? Now that I think about it the cartridge before the one we put in last week was not that old either, because i remember asking my daughter if she had printed alot since i put that one in and she said "NO".
Thank you for your time. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.

  • Photosmart all i one 7520 Printing problems the wrong scale the printout

    I will print covers for DVD cases. Have done it before from two different programs to my previous photosmart printer without problems. Now since I change the Photosmart All in One 7520 will be reduced format in both height and width. A degradation of the picture takes place.

    Hello there @AgnetaL 
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you are facing some issues when printing DVD cases from your Photosmart 7520.
    I would recommend checking the printers specifications, as this unit may support different sizes, paper types, etc than the previous printer did.
    Here is the link for you to get to the: Printer Specifications for the HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer Series
    If there is still an issue, let me know which programs you have tried printing from, which paper size and type you are using, and which troubleshooting steps you have tried already.
    Have a great Monday!

  • Saving PDF instead of TTIF with Photosmart All-in-One 7520

    After I scan using a feeder (multiple pages into 1 document), I try to SAVE in PDF format - Nope- no option!
    The printer wants to dave the "document" using another format (e.g. jpg, ttif, etc.)
    Will this printer SAVE the document as 1 document - several pages in PDF format?
    Hope you understand my frustration and can provide a solution!
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    Where do you scan from ? By default, it will scan photos as image files and documents as pdf files. Please select document when scan.  For scanning multi pages, please try
    Double click printer icon on desktop,
    Select Scan a Document or Photo,
    Put the first page on the glass (face down),
    Check options (size, dpi ...), and select Scan document to file,
    Click Scan - machine will scan the first page
    Remove the first page on the glass, put the second page,
    Click + (plus sign) It sits on the left hand side of a red x
    Machine will scan the second page, put 3rd page on the glass and click + again ..... to the end then click Save
    Click Done after Save
    Regards.

  • HP 7520 All in One "Unable to Communicate with Printer" msg

    We have a HP all in one Photosmart 7520 printer- it is USB connected to a mac (OS Snow Leopard I believe).  This was the original set up.  When I moved back here I was able to set up a wireless network with the mac as the host computer (connecting the modem to a Linksys router).  I was able to set up my windows 7 PC to this network and to the printer with no problems and was able to print to the printer for months.  Now I am getting this error "Unable to communicate with Printer"  and says it is unable to to be completed because the printer is unavailable or not connected.
    The printer IS connected and on.  My PC can see the printer listed in the control panel (I in fact uninstalled and reinstalled to see if that would fix the problem- it didn't).  The only thing that has changed since I originally set this up was that I added my second PC (Windows XP) to the network but I don't think that's the cause of my print job requests failing to print.
    I do know that the modem itself has been reset a couple of times due to the cable deciding to drop out a couple of times.  Could this be the reason why?
    What else can I look at to try to get my PC to communicate fully with the printer.  I've tried printing from googlemaps as well as a short notepad file.
    Thanks!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Let’s try this.
    1. Verify in the printer that 'Auto Off' is disabled.  Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) by going to the  
        printers IP address in your browser, Settings Tab/Auto Off.  Or use the Printer Assistant, Printer Home
        Page (EWS).
    2. Set a static IP in the printer outside the DHCP range of the router. 
    In the router:
    3. Use a fixed wireless channel like 1,6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest. 
    4. Set router to 20Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on router. 
    5. Always use WPA2-AES (Personal) encryption, but you can try ‘mixed’ mode. 
    6. For the routers security, disable WPS and never use it and disable UPnP so nobody can hack your
        system (if you want to know why, search the web). 
    7. If you have a dual band router (2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz bands), make sure the SSID’s are NOT the same,
        they must be different for all bands, even for any Guest networks. 
    8. Save all settings.  Power off both, wait 5 mins.  Power on router wait 3 mins. 
    9. Power on printer and verify it reconnects to router. 
    Windows 7/8/8.1   Is Network Discovery on or off?
    Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings.
    Under Home or Work (current profile) \ Network Discovery.
    Select "Turn on network discovery" and save changes.
    Now try.

  • HP 7520 all in one printer does not print photos well-Does with my Windows machines

    I have several computers.  Everything works great with printer in Windows environment.  I have an iPad and a MACbook PRO with Maverick 10.9.4.   The photos are terrible when I print with either of these devices.   It almost looks like a negative image.   I have checked for updated drivers, etc for the MAC.   The ink is HP and the levels are good.  It works fine with my PC computers, but not my Apple devices.   I have checked system preverences in the APPLE.   It appears to be only the photographs.  Text prints fine.  Any suggestions?

    Hello cpsimon, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you're running into photo print issues. I would like to help!
    I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
    I would also suggest running your Apple updates:  OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps.
    After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer Drivers.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • HP 7520 all in one - scan to computer won't work

    Hi there,
    I was wondering if someone would be able to help me with a scanning issue. I use my HP 7520 wirelessly, and the printing works fine. I can scan to email and to a USB, but scanning to my computer won't work. It used to work, and stopped one day. I've tried shutting down the printer, computer, and router to re-start.
    I also followed all of these directions:
    http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay/?javax.portlet.begCach...
    I have a Mac OSX 10.8 operating system. I tried un-installing and re-installing the software, nothing works. But the printer is connected to my wireless network. The only thing I couldn't do with those instructions is under the "check scan to computer setting" area, number 7. Whwn I open my print que and click on "settings", I don't have a utility tab. So there is no where for me to check the box "scan to computer". Is that the issue? Not sure why I don't see this on my computer. Thanks!

    Hi clh283 and onespeedbiker,
    I understand you aren't able to scan from the printer to the computer.
    Thank you for your reply.
    I will be happy to help you with this.
    If you are missing the Utility tab then you won't have the option to enable the scan to computer.
    What drivers did you install?
    I would uninstall the printer. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Follow these steps to repair Disk Permissions.
    On the Apple menu bar, click Go, then click Utilities.
    From the sub menu on the right, double-click Disk Utility .
    From the list on the left, select your drive or active partition.
    Click the First Aid tab, then click Verify then Repair Disk Permissions .
    Restart your computer.
    Then download and run the installation.
    Here is the URL for the HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer Full Feature Software and Drivers - Mac OS X v10.6, v10.7 an...
    I have provided a document for A 'No Computer Detected' or 'Connection Error' Message Displays during Scanning. Steps for enabling the scan feature.
    This information is for onespeedbiker since you are using Win XP.
    I would download and run the Print and Scan Doctor since it might resolve the issue automatically.

  • 7520 All In One not scanning from computer

    I have a 7520 all in one printer.  I can scan from the printer to my  computer with no problems, I can print from my computer with no  problems.  I have always been able to control scanning from my computer when I put a picture on the printer without any issues.   The HP Photosmart icon on my desktop is there but I cannot open it.  I've tried opening it from the Start Menu and I still can't open it.  Now I've tried going to the HP Solutions Center and when I click on that it says it cannot run b/c installation is not complete.  (I've had this printer for a almost a year and this just happened out of the blue.)
    I uninstalled the printer then reinstalled it again.  I unplugged my printer and my wireless router and retstarted both, all to no avail.  My software is updated and I've run Scan Doctor and everything is in working order. 
    I simply cannot open HP Photosmart from my computer.

    Hi @FinnGirl47,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that you cannot scan from the computer with your HP Photosmart 7520, and I am happy to help! 
    For further assistance, I will need to know: If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos, also if the printer is able to make copies.
    In the meantime, please try going through this scanning guide, A 'No Computer Detected' or 'Connection Error' Message Displays during Scanning.

    Hi,
    The default scan workflow configured to scan documents as Black and White. Make sure to change the scan settings to scan documents with color:
    1. Open the HP Utility and select your device.
    2. From Scan Settings open the "Scan to Computer".
    3. Click the Scan Tasks tab.
    4. Select the affected shortcut and click on Edit... (or just double-click the shortcut).
    5. In the section of Scan from an HP Device click on the blue triangle or the Show Details button to enlarge the menu.
    6. From the enlarged menu now open the drop-down menu next to Mode
    7. Now select the Color option and then click on OK to save the changes. The next scanned document using this workflow will appear in color.

  • HP photosmart 7520 all in one

    Purchased new HP 7520 printer and am using an iMac with OS x Maverick system. When attempting to print from the iMac, the printer selects the main tray instead of the photo tray. Photo tray is selected as default in settings on the iMac, as well as on the printer. I've attempted to print from the iPhoto app as well as the Lightroom app. Neither works.
    The photo tray WILL select when printing from my iPhone, however. Is there a driver error or something that needs corrected? I see that this seems to be an ongoing problem from viewing the forums. I hope there is a solution. Otherwise it gets returned tomorrow. Please help.

    Welcome to the HP Forums ADowns,
    I read your post which indicates that you are unable to print to the photo tray on Maverick. But the Iphone prints to the photo tray fine. I can help you with this.
    Are you using the Full Feature download drivers from HP?
    HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer Full Feature Software and Drivers - OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
    Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. The Airprint driver might be installed instead of the Printer's driver. (usually defaults to Airprint)
    Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen should show the name.
    If the printer name shows Airprint then that is the Apple drivers, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
    If you are still having issue then please try the following steps:
    Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
    Close all applications.
    On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
    Double-click Disk Utility.
    Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
    Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
    Restart the computer.
    Reset the Printing System:
    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
    Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.
    Click Printers & Scanners.
    Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
    Click OK to confirm the reset.
    Type the correct Name and Password.
    Click OK to reset the printing system.
    Then click the + sign, then select the printer from the list and click on the Add button.
    (make sure it shows the printer name beside Use, not the Airprint driver)
    Try printing again from the photo tray again.
    If you need further assistance, let me know.
    Have a wonderful day!

  • Setting up scanning on my HP 7520 all in one

    Watched the video on setting up my scanning function but when I click on the printer icon in my control panel I do not see "Scanner Action"  I only see printer action??  Please help.  What am I doing wrong.  Can't locate my printer software disc.

    apucciarello,
    Welcome to the HP Forum.
    You may need to (re)install the Printer Full Feature Software for your Printer onto your computer.

    2.    The Printer Assistant shortcut will be installed on your Desktop during the last part of the installation.
    ·         Create a Restore Point:   Create a Restore Point – Win7  OR  Create a restore point Win8
    ·         Open  HP Drivers & Downloads
    ·         Enter your Printer Model information
    ·         Select your Printer from the “Results” list
    OR
    ·         Open HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer Drivers
    ·         Enter your Operating System in the Drop-down menu
    ·         Click NEXT and Scroll down
    ·         Look for category Driver - Product Installation Software
    ·         Select the Basic Driver, e-print, or Full Feature Software
    ·         Save the *.exe installation package(s) on your computer
    The file(s) will likely save to the "Downloads “folder.
    Be sure to look for Updates as needed for your installation.  If available, you may download the Print and Scan Doctor and / or other programs from Category – Utilities. 
    ·         If you have ‘Admin’ control, you may highlight the package and “double-click” to install it, else Right-Click, Select run as Administrator and install.
    NOTES: 
    ·         Look at the bottom half of the main webpage for your printer for helpful videos to assist with the installation of the printer software!
    ·         Scroll the video list back and forth until you find the video that most closely matches your situation.
    ·         USB connection:  Download and install the driver software before connecting a USB cable.
    ·         Ethernet:  Connect the printer to the network and (Optional) assign the printer an IP address at the router.  Once the printer is connected to the network, be sure the printer is switched on and then install the printer software.
    ·         After the initial installation is complete and working, check / install Category  - Update
    There is valuable information at the printer’s website, including manuals, how-to pages, a Troubleshooting and SOLUTIONS section, and alerts and notifications for your printer.  Be sure to take an extended look at what is available.  Bookmark the page.
    Remember:  After you install the Printer Software, use the Printer Assistant shortcut on your Desktop or use your Favorite browser and the printer's IP address to access the printer through the EWS.  You can set / change your wireless, assign a static IP address (network tab), check your printer's stats and more.  Excellent!
