HP Envy 5530 - Color Management

HP Envy 5530 Printer How do I disable Color Management? In order to use the Color Management options in Adobe PS Elements I need to be able to disable Color Management in the printer preferences dialog. When I go to "Advanced Document Settings" under "Color Management" there are only two options:Color Smart/sRGB or Adobe RGB. I've tried every "trick" I can think of to get acceptable results from this printer and this appears to be my last hope. Can you help? Thanks

Thanks for responding. According to HP: "For HP printers, changing these settings (Color Management Settings in the OS) will not affect output. This is because the printer only supports ICC color management in Windows through the application (not the operating system) in order to reduce the possibility of over-processing images." The option I'm looking for is: "Managed by application essentially turns off printer driver-based color management. Selecting this option tells the printer that incoming color is already color-managed, and the driver is not to do any color conversions to the image data." - Quote from HP Consumer Support Apparently, this is not possible on the HP Envy 5530 - neither is getting "lab quality photos" as you advertise. If the quality of the prints were acceptable, particularly in black and white, I wouldn't need to be looking for a 'fix'. Finding out which HP printers have the "managed by application" feature has proven to be difficult. Thanks for addressing my problem. Best Regards

HP Envy 5530 not printing in color

Hello,
I have reinstalled the printer drivers. I have cleaned the printer heads. Both ink cartridges are full. However, every time I try to print something from the internet, the preview comes up in black and white. When I export the image to a pdf in the program, Preview, the printout comes out in Black and White even though the image is color.
I am at my wits end with this. I have even tried different browsers.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Jeff

Hi @StudioLily , and welcome to the HP Forums.
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 ENVY 5530 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers.
Good luck and please let me know how it goes!

HP Envy 5530 won't print in color from Mac

My printer won't print anything in color from my Mac. I've tried printing from Word and from a PDF, and each time only black ink will show up. I've tried:Removing the black ink catridge and printing with just colorShaking the color ink cartridgeRemoving and putting back the color ink cartridgePrinting a test page (color doesn't work for this, either- nothing prints at all when I do this)Double and triple checking my print settings The only ink color that my computer says is "low" is yellow. I'm printing wirelessly, but because black ink prints fine, I'm willing to bet there's no connection problems. DO NOT try to sell me more ink; I am already upset with HP enough as it is. The last thing I want to do right now is buy more of its ineffective products. Please help me fix this problem.
Thank yoooouuuuu

Black ink faded/Gray when printing with HP Envy 5530

When printing with my new HP Envy 5530 the black ink looks gray or faded. I tested the color and this prints dark and clear. I have power cycled, plugged into different power outlets and re-inserted the cartridge. Any thoughts...or could it just be a "bum" cartridge?
Thanks in Advance for your help...

Howdy. After tinkering around with my Envy having the same issue, I found out that after replacing my black cartridge because it was low, I was having the same issue.
Turns out the color cartridge will simulate a black in an to preserve both the tri color cartridge and the black cartridge for as long as possible, which is why even if you've never printed any color, both your cartridges should be low. Once the color cartridge starts getting low, the printer doesn't have a sensor to realize which of the tri color is mixing in the most, so it continues to mix it in either way.
I was having this issue where I would print one page and it would be okay and then any page following would slowly look worse.
Long story short, just print without the color cartridge in and you shouldn't have the issue unless your black is really low. Replacing that should fix it overall though.

HP Envy 5530 & Windows 8.1 : Does not print the whole document

Hello, I cannot seem to print an entire document longer than 3 pages with the HP Envy series & Windows 8.1 from any of my programs. It will stop after a handful of pages (randomized with which page it stops at), with a simple error message, "Could not print document." This goes for double sided as well as single sided pages. It doesn't matter if it is color or b/w. I first had the Envy 4500 and did everything I could to fix the issue. I uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers using both CD and online installers and ran the HP Print and Scan Doctor, which could not find any issues. The Network Configuration page & Test print pages were also fine. I tried printing immediately & printing once everything has spooled. Nothing worked. I finally gave up and upgraded to the 5530 in hopes that it was an incompatible driver. However, I am still having the same issues, despite the "all clear" from the Print & Scan Doctor. Please help!-ebdsnyder

Hi there, The only thing I can recommend at the moment would be to setup another instance of the network printer. Firstly I would recommnd setting up the printer with a Fixed IP address as if the IP address were to change later the printer would stop working. Then go into the Control Panel (use Windows Key and X and choose Control Panel from the menu that appears) and choose Devices and Printers. Click in the printers area and choose Add Printer. When the next screen comes up the computer, the system will search the local network and display any printers that are found on the network. Choose the Envy 5530 and click next The computer will then add a network port and ask you to choose the driver. Choose use driver that is currently installed. The computer will then ask you to Name the printer, choose a descriptive name that will help you identify it later. The computer will then ask you if you want to share the printer, I would recommnd not sharing it for now. The computer will then ask if you want to set this as the default printer, this choice is up to you. Click print a test page to check that the printer works and then click finish. After this you will have an extra printer icon for your device. I would recommend going into the Printer Properties on this new device and change the printer driver to the one that does not have the words Class driver after it (The Class driver is a cut down in OS version of the complete driver). This can be done from the Printer Properties advanced tab. I hope this all makes sense. Good luck and if you have any question please post them back here and I will try and help you out.

Brand new HP Envy 5530 only prints half of 4X6 photo

Hello,
Looks like I'm not the only one having this problem and so far, the only viable solution I've seen in this forum with regards to this paritcular HP printer issue is to take it back to the store and exchange it for a different brand.
I bought an HP Envy 5530 less than a month ago and decided to print some colour photo onto photo paper with a 4X6 size, nothing special or fancy. I've tried printing from Windows Picture viewer (or whatever it's called) and Picasa, tried numerous printer settings, used HP doctor and it said everything was fine, and after 5 attempts and lots of colour ink, I still get printouts whereby only half the picutre is printed, all this on a printer that's 1 month old. Does HP have a solution for this?
Thank you

I have the same photo issue going on as well. I can print photos from an SD card fine, but now, out of nowhere, all my pictures I attempt to print via laptop, tablet, or phone don't print basically. Well half of the pic prints (if you could call it that) in whatever color it chooses... Sometimes it prints in all black, other times, all pink!! But then the other half of the photo paper just has large ink streaks. I've wasted probably 12 sheets of photo paper and large amounts of ink!! Please, if anyone has come across a solution, I would be ever so grateful!!!! HP.....Please help...I'm growing increasingly frustrated and disappointed with the quality of the printer!!

Cant scan on HP envy 5530

I just bought a Envy 5530 all in one printer to use wirelessly. My daughter has a managed account on my mac air. I installed the printer drivers from the HP website and am able to print wirelessly from her account, but when I try to scan using HP Scan I get a "printer not connected" message. When I go to the HP utility, it says that the computer is missing software that will allow it to use "Scan to Computer".
The scan function works perfectly on my account. I've checked settings to see if there is anything blocking her access but I didn't find anything. What can I do?

Hi,
You will have to install the full feature driver on your daughters computer to fix this issue. Use the link below to do so.

Vista color management & CS3

Two weeks ago I wrongly faulted my new Dell 2707WFP monitor for its high contrast and saturation after many failed profiling attempts using the Spyder2Pro with the updated Vista software. I'm still at a loss as to why images are dark and overly saturated in Photoshop, Bridge and Lightroom. They were all fine on an older Dell system running XP home and CS2. I've gone so far as to purposely inflict various gamma curve settings in Spyder to bump up the low end luminance but resulting profiles still show images clipped in the low end and overall saturated even as the desktop and the PS interface turn a sickly pale.
I'm new to CS3 and Lightroom and so I'm not sure if the following is normal. When I view a NEW batch of images that were not previously viewed in Bridge, they are normal looking, however when I click on a thumbnail, it then reverts to the same garish contrasty version that I see full size in the above adobe software when opened. The same thing happens in the WINDOWS PHOTO GALLERY viewer but NOT in WINDOWS EXPLORER. In Explorer the thumbs are as they should be...normal, and if I open them in Microsoft OFFICE PICTURE MANAGER or in Quicktime PICTUREVIEWER, they open as normal images.
All this sounds like a profile issue of some kind, but as far as I know, everything appears to be set correctly in both PS and the profiling software. However, Im not sure about the system settings regarding profiles. In the Windows COLOR folder all the profiles are where they should be and I can select which one to load using the Spyder Profile Chooser. And again, I do restart PS when I change a profile. Could this be some kind of Vista bug??
Other notes:
If I do a screen shot and paste it back into PS, it turns DARKER than the original file.
When I do additional calibrations I restart PS to load the latest profile.
All files tagged sRGB and in sRGB workspace. PS shows this correct space and likewise the correct monitor profile in COLOR SETTINGS
ATI CATALYST CONTROL CENTER fails to run on bootup so windows shuts it down. No fix that I can find for this.

Incorrect Color outside Photoshop on Wide Gamut Display
Solution >>I just purchased a Dell 2407 HC display, considered wide gamut and the spyder 3 elite. I've used the spyder 3 to calibrate the monitor. In photoshop whenever I "Save for Web" or "Save as" in the sRGB color space, I wind up with over saturated oranges and reds. I'm needing to save in the sRGB for web work. My working color space is set to sRGB which looks fine when editting in photoshop, but as soon as I save it out of photoshop the reds and oranges are over saturated. I purchased the spyder 3 because of the wide gamut support, is there something I'm missing in calibration?
The display profile is not at fault here. The ICC profile for the display tells any application that uses color management what the color values for the display are. Thus Photoshop, which is using the profile, corrects for the colors on screen, giving correct results. A non-color managed application (such as Internet Explorer for Windows) would not use the profile and thus the colors would be oversaturated on your wide gamut screen. This is not the fault of the profile (that would make the color look wrong in Photoshop, where the profile is being used), but the lack of a profile (which makes the color look wrong in non-color managed applications).
This is the problem with using a Wide Gamut display for viewing in non-color managed applications. A typical gamut display is not color correct in such applications, but is at least approximately correct; a wide gamut display is noticably oversatured in some colors. On the Mac many applications, including web browsers and OS utilities, are color managed, so it is less of an issue than on Windows.

So if the color is off outside PS, then its not the fault of the profile. My problem is the image is off INSIDE PS, and by the same reasoning, then the profile is at fault. If the profile is to blame, is this a Spyder issue or Vista issue? So far noone seems to know anything including Adobe tech support and Dell. Been waiting 2 wks to hear from the Spyder people.
Would really appreciate some input on this. thanks.

Printing with HP B9180 and Photoshop Elements 8 and Color Management

I've got a bit of confusion about certain settings in the printing process and I've posted a rather long discussion of my 'issues' and confusion. I hope someone can give me some guidance here. I've seen a lot of these issues addressed in many places but I can't seem to find an integrated response. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read and respond.
Color Management Questions
My problems started when I was getting pictures that were too dark from my HP 9180 printer after having gotten very nice prints for a long time. I had obviously started to do something differently inadvertently. The only thing I think that is different is that I got a new 23 inch monitor, which does produce much brighter on-screen images. So, I started to do some research and know just enough about color management to be slightly confused and have some questions that I hope someone can give me some help with.
Equipment Background
I use both a Canon 20D and a Canon PowerShot SD600 camera. Both have the default color space as sRGB, although the 20D can be also set as RGB.
I also use Photoshop Elements 8, where there are a variety of settings possible for printing.
My monitor is an HP S2331, whose color space is sRGB and cannot be reset to RGB (I think) except for temperature; the default is 6500K.
My printer is an HP Photosmart Pro B9180 Printer, where there are also a variety of settings possible.
I’m running XP-Pro.
Here’s Where I Get Confused
Everything I have read about color management (various web sites, forums, books, etc) says to have the image, monitor, and printer all in the same color space.
Everything I read about PSE 8 (same sources) says to set PSE 8 to ‘Always Optimize for Printing’ under Edit>Color Settings in order to get the best prints. This displays photos based on the Adobe RGB color space.
I am taking pictures in sRGB, and telling PSE 8 to process them in RGB by selecting ‘Always Optimize for Printing’. Is this something I should be concerned about? Should I reset my camera for RGB?
Further, by selecting ‘Always Optimize for Printing’, I am setting PSE 8 for RGB while my monitor displays sRGB. Is this an important issue or is it also much ado about technicalities that an amateur should not worry about? It does violate the ‘keep them in the same color space’ rule.
Next, when I go to File>Print and get the Print window and then do the Page Setup and Select Printer, I then go to More Options in the lower left of the window. Under the More Options window, I select Color management and select Photoshop Elements Manages Colors. Next, there is Image Space, which is fixed and not subject to selection from a drop down menu.
I understand that this is the image space of the image I took with my camera and that information is embedded in the image. Correct?
Next, there is Printer Profile. But, from what I have read, this is where the IEC profile of the paper being printed on is supposed to be selected, isn’t it?
Shouldn’t this more appropriately be called Paper Profile, or Printing Media Profile? Further, this drop down menu appears to be somewhat erratic, sometimes showing all of the paper profiles I believe are loaded, sometimes not. It also shows listings such as Working RGB-Adobe RGB (1988), Adobe RGB 1988, Dot Gain 10%, 15%.... along with a lot of paper profiles. Aren’t those profiles unnecessary here?
I’ve used both Relative Colorimetric and Perceptual Rendering and am happy with either one.
Next, when I go to Printer Preferences, in order to “…disable color management in the printer preferences dialog”, under the Color Tab, I select Application Managed Colors from the Color management drop down menu, and also have the option of selecting ColorSmart/sRGB and Adobe RGB (1988).
Is there any time when I should use either ColorSmart/sRGB or Adobe RGB (1988)? If I were staying with my camera’s sRGB setting, given the fact that the monitor is sRGB, would the appropriate selections be ‘Printer Manages Colors’ and ‘ColorSmart/sRGB’?
Finally, under the Features Tab, I go to look for the same paper I selected under Printer Profile (Question 4 above). If it is one of the pre-loaded (by HP) profiles, it is there, but if it is a profile I downloaded, say for an Ilford paper, it isn’t listed, and I need to guess at an equivalent type of paper to select.
Is there any way to get that listing to appear under the Paper Type drop down menu?
I know that this is a long post, but it helped me to clarify my ‘issues’. Thank you for any and all suggestions, answers, guidance and help.

RIK,
Some printers have long names, esp. HP printers, and PSE gets ":confused." In control panel>devices and printers, right click on the default printer, go to printer properties, and rename the default printer to something short, e.g. "Our Printer." That may fix it..

HP Envy 5530 - Printer Cartridge Issues

I have had my HP Envy 5530 for about 6 months now. It used its first set of cartridges (HP61) and was half way through the second set of cardtridges when an error appeared reading:
"The indicated cartridges are not compatible...."
I know for a fact that the second set of cartridges are brand new HP61 cartridges. They worked for quite a while and then the error occurred.
Thinking that the second set of cartridges had a problem I purchased another set of brand new HP 61 cartridges. Immediately the same error occurred.
I tried everything to get the printer to work to no avail.
Please help me out on this HP techs.

HP Envy 5530 Connection Issues

Hello,
I just purchased the HP Envy 5530 and have everything set up, however I cannot print anything. The printer is connected to our wi-fi, and the computer is a desktop that is directly connected. We have multiple devices in the house all connected to the same wi-fi, and none of them will print anything.
I have run the install program multiple times, and everytime the same thing happens. The printer shows it is connected. I enter the IP address and the installation program searches for it, but can never find anything. Same thing when trying from a mobile device or laptop. Searching but with no results.
PLEASE HELP!

Hello,
Please try the below steps to check if there is connectivity between the printer and the computer ( wireless).
> Open an Internet Explorer / Firefox . Type in the Printer's IP address in the address bar of Internet explorer and hit Enter Key.
> If printer's info show that indicates they are connected .
Let me know the result.

Envy 5530 Wireless Installation Issue

Printer connected to my home router. No problem. Installation on first laptop (Win8.1) - wireless installation, and printing no problem. Hooray! However, wireless installation on second home desktop (Win XP) fails. The following image confirms this. I've downloaded the latest drivers, run various diagnostics, (reinstall drivers etc.) but still no success.
Any ideas, please??!!

Hi there, thanks for your prompt reply. Most appreciated. I downloaded, installed and ran the HP Print and Scan doctor, and the conclusion was the following message:
I clicked on "Get Installer" and this directed me back to the HP Envy 5530 site, and was told to download the full version of the driver software, which I did... but back to square-one. The error (see original image from my post) is still being displayed, and my XP desktop fails to connect with the printer. Any further assistance is very, very appreciated and welcomed!!
