HP Deskjet 3520 Prints too small and when trying to Scan it says can't find Computer..
HP Deskjet 3520 ALL IN ONE & E-PRINTER I have had this printer about 1 year and have never got it to print out things(Some) where it can hardly be read. (I have to have a magnifyng glass to read some of it others fine. The kind I AM NOT ABLE to read are pre-printed materials. The kind I AM ABLE to read adequately are things I type out on my Computer and then copy or print out it does fine.. Also when attempting to Scan a piece needed to Scan and printer set to Scan it said no Computer could be found. Can someone tell me how to fix these problems. This printer says 'ALL IN ONE e-Printer but it does not fax.
Hi @mybeaugie
I see you are trying to make the font larger on your printed output, but the small text is only happening when you print from programs aside from documents you create. If you are using Internet Explorer you can use this document; Text is Small When Printing from Internet Explorer. If however, you are using AOL you can following these instructions from this post, 'how do i make the text larger'.
As you can see modifying the text size is going to depend on the program you are using. If you are not using Internet Explore or AOL, can you please post back with more detail. What Browser are you using and what Operating system do you have? Mac or Windows?
I understand you are also getting a communication error when you try scanning. Running the Print and Scan Doctor might help. The HP Print and Scan Doctor is a free utility (tool) that helps to quickly resolve common printing, scanning and connectivity issues including but not limited to:
Connectivity:
USB: Verifies that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product is working correctly.
Network: Verifies that the network connection between your computer and your network is working correctly.
Device Status Test: Checks for device errors such as out of paper, paper jams, carriage stalls, and paper feed issues, and then provides instructions for fixing the error.
Driver Check: Checks for missing or corrupt driver files.
Device Manager: Checks for problems in Device Manager that would prevent printing.
Device Online: Checks if the product has been paused or set to offline, and then sets the status back to online if necessary.
Print Queue: Checks for and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a log of print jobs waiting to print).
Port Match: Checks the port settings for the HP product.
Device Conflicts: Checks for conflicts with other drivers, such as other printer brands.
Ink Issues: Checks the cartridges and ink levels for issues that affect print quality.
Print Settings: Checks and adjusts the print quality settings.

If that does not resolve the issue, post back and let me know if there are any symbols other than green check marks and what they are next to of course. The wrench is not always easy to spot as the wrench and the check mart are in the green circle.
If you see only green check marks (), the tool did not find any problems.
If you see green wrenches (), the utility identified an issue and corrected it automatically.
If you see yellow exclamation points (), the test failed and required user action, but the step was skipped.
If you see a red X (), follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the issue.
If the scan issue persists, try the steps in the following document and let me know the outcome of your efforts; An 'An error occurred while communicating with scanning device' or a 'There is no computer connectio...

I have upgraded to Mac OS X v10.7 Lion and when I log into mail I can't find my mailboxes other than inbox, draft and sent how do I get my other mailboxes back?
Lion is a bit of a memory hog - kernel_task will use quite a bit and Safari is known to use more; you can't do anything about the system, but changing to Firefox may help a little. The best way to deal with it is to increase your RAM; the required minimum is just that: the minimum. My Macbook would keep crashing and beachballing until I upped the RAM to 4 GB. RAM is inexpensive right now - check out OWC (macsales.com) or Crucial.com; both reputable RAM vendors with lifetime warranties. You won't regret it.
As for iDVD - I purchased the retail iLife 11 disk because of iDVD (because I use that a lot) - it's available at online resellers, the Apple Store, and ebay. -
Purchased iTunes gift cards and when trying to activate they say invalid. How to I redeem?
I purchased 3 iTunes gift cards and when trying to redeem, it says that they are invalid. I receipt of purchase that the cards were activated. Help, what do I do?
Were the iTunes cards issued in the same country as your account is based (they are only valid in their country of issue) ? If they were and this page doesn't help then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support (you will probably need to give them images of the fronts and backs of the cards, and possibly their receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

Prints too small and doesn't do margins correctly
When printing any document, either form Microsoft Word or the internet, the font sizes come out too small and the margins do not match the settings. For example, I have my margins set to 1inch all the way around and yet the printer prints the paper margins at **Top 1inch, left and right @ 1.3 inches, and the bottom at 2 inches. This is very annoying because it condenses everything and makes the font smaller. I have already went into all of the settings both in Word and the Printer. Everything is set right, I am using letter paper 8.5 x 11, it is set up to match that paper, and I've double checked everything. And the paper is loaded in correctly. I seriously don't know what to do. I've even tried selecting "fit to paper" under the printer options and nothing has changed. I am really tired of this printer.
Please help!Scatteredskies
Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
Every printer I have ever had seems to revel in messing with us about margins - I had the 7520 printer for a year; in my personal opinion this printer is not better or worse in this regard than others.
I am not being sarcastic; far from it. I am fully sympathetic.
There is always something going on -- IF it is the printer then it might be one of the following:
Printers have margin restrictions that can get in the way of the settings - and the results manifest themselves in odd ways depending on the document type (Word, PDF, html, some-other-type).
Software can have an effect -- Online Word, for example, may not be the same as Word-in-a-Box and a PDF file on your computer is never the same as a PDF file on the Internet.
If you think the printer is messing with you because the software is tweaked, then you can remove and then reinstall the printer software -- it does sometimes help IF the software is corrupted or out-of-date.
Install Full Feature Software – Printer
You can download files from the Internet and try printing them from your computer -- local files frequently print better from your computer than they do from the Internet. This assumes you can trust the files to be downloaded onto your computer. Scan any downloaded file with your best Security Software.
You can try setting Word document margins to Narrow. This may work as long as you don't get into trouble with other printer margin restrictions of it if doesn't mess up your document. Depends.
You can try using Print Preview to adjust the margins.
You can try -- when using Word - to adjust the Footer / Header to move the Page Numbers / Headers out of the way of whatever Printer margin restrictions exist. For example, if the printer cannot print within .5 inches of the edge of the paper, make sure the page numbers have been moved away from the edge of the paper at least that far.
Our British friends know that A4 paper is not American "Letter" paper. The difference can present challenges - Word offers an Options setting for this to keep the A4 bottom bits from chopping off. This setting MIGHT do odd things to "Auto" select paper settings in some printers.
You can try using Printing Preferences / Properties to print borderless -- assuming your paper selection combination and printer supports this.
For example:
Printing Preferences > Paper Quality > Advanced >
Under Printing Features >> Borderless Printing > Select from Drop Down Menu "Print Borderless"
Combine this with Print Preview / Margins
The following might be helpful:

Both the Printer/Scanners I have installed on my iMac still print, but have stopped scanning. When asked to scan just say 'no scanner selected', can anyone help?
Hi,
Scanning to a computer from the front panel only allow scanning to a computer with Windows or Mac OS X, not to a tablet as I understnd from your information.
From iPad you may scan by initiating the scan from the HP AIO Printer Remote app, not from the printer itself.
You may follow these steps to scan from a mobile device:

Points Missing and when trying to report it says already redeemed on another account.
My wife and I applied for a Busty CC and we both got approved. I had been an elite plus member for a while now and when we signed up for the BBCC we were told we could have both accounts linked to my reward zone (now my best buy) account.
My credit card was indeed linked to my account and I assumed her was as well however come to find that recently I made two purchases and I hadn't seen them so I assumed they were processing until I checked yesterday and still didn't see them. So I put the info from the receipt and I saw that it said they were redeemed to different account.
So I did some research and found her credit card actually got her own reward zone number. So when I did those two other transactions I didn't give my reward zone card as the guy at the counter said I don't need it's relay linked to the account and I believe him but I didn't know her card had her own number.
So I tried looking for a solution online and can't find anything. So how do I go about transferring those points from my wife's account, which I haven't even registered or anything, to my account and make sure they are both linked to it. I still got both receipts with the customer ID's, I got her card number and the number for reward zone it states and my card number and my reward zone number. Any help would be appreciate it. Thanks.

Go to Solution.Good morning MickeyNRicky,
Welcome to the Best Buy forum, and thank you for posting!
Being that a My Best Buy™ program membership account is intended to be used by one customer, you would be unable to attach multiple Best Buy credit cards to your My Best Buy™ account. If your wife applied and was approved for her own Best Buy credit card, then she would have her own separate My Best Buy™ program account. If points have already been awarded to your wife's account, then we may not be able to attach the purchase to your account.
I would like to go over your My Best Buy™ account with you to ensure it is up-to-date and see what I can possibly do to help you, so I will be sending you a private message.

Trying to sync another computer to sync, but going from Tools to Options to Sync I can not find the Add A Device choice. have looked everywhere but can not find the frame that allows me to enter the codes from the second computer. Have installed the sync function on the first computer and have received a sync key.
What am I missing and where do I find "Add A Device"?Thanks for trying to help solve a problem in Foxfire's sync function. I guess I haven't done a very good job describing the problem so I'll try again.
My desktop computer is running Windows 7 and Foxfire 6.0. I had no problem establishing a sync account and obtaining the Foxfire Sync Key. Now I would like to sync my Asus Eee Transformer Tablet running Android 3.2 and Foxfire 3 (for Android). On the tablet I go to Sync, then Connect, and get the three-box code to be entered on the desktop computer where the sync account was established. So far, so good.
I then go back to the desktop computer and in Foxfire click Tools, then Options, then click on the Sync symbol, then click on Set Up Foxfire Sync, which is the only option available. I am then taken to a page with two options: Create A New Account, or Connect. sunce I have already created an account I click on Connect. I then get a page with a three box code and am told to go to the other device (the tablet) and select Add A Device. Unfortunately, on the tablet the only choices available are Sync and connect, which returns a three box code. No where can I find a page or an option fo Add A Device and enter the three box code.
So, in summary, I can not find w page to Add A Device and enter the three box code on either the desktop computer or the tablet. If all else fails, I guess I can go back to day one and establish a new sync account on the desktop computer, or completely give up on the sync, which is a nice feature but one that doesn't work. -
The App Store has had the little red notification saying I have two new updates to download, for iPhoto and iMovie, but when I go to download them it says "please log into the account you used to purchase the application." I am not sure which account this would be, as I have only had one account on my computer since I purchased it from the Apple Store online.
Please help.
Also, a side note not related to this issue: I have been having problems with system preferences as well, when trying to change the background image the rainbow starts spinning automatically and then it becomes unresponsive.Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
First of all, I suppose that you bought a brand-new Mac, right? If not, you won't be able to update iPhoto and iMovie, because they are registered to another Apple ID.
If you have a brand-new Mac, first try this > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4236 If it doesn't work, check that iPhoto and iMovie aren't hidden on your account, so unhide them > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928 After doing this, try updating iPhoto and iMovie again.
If nothing works, contact with the App Store support > http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact
Respecting to your second problem, your Desktop settings file is corrupted. To fix it, follow these steps:
1. While you are on Desktop without any application opened, select Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type ~/Library/Preferences.
2. Delete "com.apple.desktop.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist", and restart -
HP P1006 Prints too Small and cartride life is questionable as it's brand new!
My parents just bought an HP P1006 and there are two issue..keep in mind I live across the country from them and they are not computer literate.
Anyway, your help would be greatly appreciated:
Printing is already fading and they hardly use it...no where near the 700 that comes with the installed cartridge
Secondly, it prints very very small
Any help out there?Try this for a Quick Fix ...........
After reading other forum comments from people having the same problem with the yellow cartridge popping-out, combined with others who have realised that HP have no interest in compensating anyone for this rediculous example of, at best, 'bad design', or at worst 'blatent planned obsolescence', I have created a 'quick fix' that may add another 1, 2 or more years of life to the HP Officejet Pro L7580 Printer.
This is not the elegant technical solution I was hoping for. However, in hindsight, it may prove to be a more reliable solution than replacing the faulty part that is actually causing the problem. So, here it is the Quick Fix ........
I found a wooden triangular door stop that I cut to size that fitted exactly in the space between the plastic door and the offending yellow cartridge. To hold it in place, I wrapped the doorstop with 2" cellotape, then I stuck the door stop to the inside of the plastic door with double sided cellotape (double sided stick-on foam would also work well). With the doorstop in the correct place, the plastic door closed perfectly and was snug enough to apply sufficent pressure to the offending yellow cartridge, and hence stopping it from popping out again. To make sure the plastic door does not 'fly open' with the pressure of the yellow cartridge (when it wants to pop out!), I applied another piece of 2" cellotape around the outside of the door, holding it to the body of the photocopier.
This exercise only took 10-15 mins to do. I feel this is a much better option than spending another $300+ on a new All-in-One system, as well as being a good environmental solution. If this is DELIBERATE 'planned obsolescence', companies like HP need to be more accountable for, at best, 'sloppy design'. Any feedback would be appreciated. -
Print too small and does not fit page.
Using windows XP and a Brother printer. Have tried several steps listed for solving this problem.
In trying to reset firefox printer instruction , cannot locate the print.print_printer in the list to see if that will work. It is not there. How do I solve that problem?
Changed scale and font size and still does not work to restore settings.
Have version 21.0 installed on computer.If you cannot see any content on pages you printed or in print preview, the cause might be margins which are set too high.
#In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
#Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
#Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
'''Right''': 12.7
'''Top''': 12.7
'''Left''': 12.7
'''Bottom''': 12.7
Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary. -

Can't play a movie i rented with i tunes on my apple tv
I had the same issue. Resolved it by changing the security settings on my router...( log into your router by following your routers instructional guide, most are available online. Under the wireless setting, look for some variation of security settings, change WEP setting to WPA. )
I was using ethernet cable and not wireless, and still am, but this solved the problem. I have a 1.3Mbps speed connection.
Fast test to see if its the router....
If you want to see if it's the routers that is effecting you, and have a iphone 4 or similar smart phone, create a wireless hot spot on the phone and connect the Apple TV to it. Try to view your rental now. If the error message still occurs then its not your router, and you can recommence pulling all your hair out..... -
read subject.
For those interested, the solution (at least in my case) is pretty simple:
--Contact Apple Support and explain.
--Have first-level support misinterpret your request.
--Re-explain and ask for resolution.
--Have the purchased items added to your download queue and then hit Check For Purchases.
--Sit back and enjoy.
Based on the WWDC announcements on 08-Jun, going forward, the solution will apparently be:
--Download it from iCloud.
Roaminggnome, you are simply wrong. Demonstrably, purchases on iTunes are not one and only copy--even more so now with the entire concept of iCloud, but even beforehand you could download apps many times if you had bought them and removed them from your iOS device. You'd think with all those discussion points, you'd troll less and actually give thought to responses more, but sometimes I say crazy things.
