HP OfficeJet 7310 Prints Garbage via D-Link

I have an HP Officejet 7310xi All-in-One: The only way I can use all the functions and have it print correctly is having it directly connected to my computer. But when I connect it (USB) via my D-Link DPR 1260 wireless print server, which is wirelessly connected to my Airport Extreme, it prints garbage at the top of each page -- squishes everything up there, dropping lines.
For example, in MS Word, if I have two tables separated by three lines, the tables print one after the other. If I have various graphics, they squish to the top. This happens with PDF documents also, opened via Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat. In addition, all the text in Excel spreadsheets cascades to the bottom roght of the cells, dropping text out of the cells.
Finally, it allows hardly any of the HP multifunctionality it's supposed to come with.
HP touts this as being a wireless-adaptable printer, so everything should work with my wireless setup. The D-Link is supposed to work with Macs also.
My HP LaserJet 1300 works fine wirelessly with this setup.
I have downloaded and installed all the latest HP drivers. Everything else is updated as well (latest Airport, D-Link etc.) I cycled everything, restarted everything, reset the printers, etc. etc. Spent at least 8 hours total on the phone wiht Apple, HP, and D-Link technicians.
Does anyone have a fix for any of this?
The one issue I've read that MAY be relevant relates to non-ASCII text messages being sent to the PS printers (an Adobe issue maybe?), but I can't find where to fix that with Word documents, if it's even the issue.
I'm aware that there are problems with multifunction printers and Leopard, but I have the latest Tiger.
Any help would be appreciated.

This is a limitation of using third party wireless print servers. Most multifunctions will only allow (simple) printing.

I would expect this is the case IF you use the HP wireless adapter for your printer.

  • Device Manager reported driver missing for Officejet 7310 printer

    I used the full-feature install software downloaded from HP site to setup an Officejet 7310 printer on a Lenovo T540p laptop with Windows 8.1 64-bit OS.  The install and the printer appear to work correctly as I can print and I can also scan from the HP Solution Center utility.  However, the Device Manager reports two errors/anomolies as follows.
    Under the "Multifunction adapters" entry the Officejet 7300 series Properties shows the Device Status as:
    This device is disabled. (Code 22)
    Click Enable Device to enable this device.
    Under the "Other devices" entry theOfficejet 7300 series Properties shows the Device Status as:
    The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
    There are no compatible drivers for this device.
    To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver.
    I find this a bit baffling as I believe the install software is supposed to include the driver(s), plus the printer seems to function (which could be due to default Microsoft drivers).
    Any thoughts on how things got in this state and how to recover would be deeply appreciated as I prefer to not "ignore" the error messages.
    Thanks,
    Glenn

    Yes I was able to remove the USB instance and rename the network-connected printer instance as the sole printer.  I thought that should work, but I was a bit paranoid given the other weird things that happened with the package install.
    I'm good to go; thanks again.

  • Problems connecting a Officejet 7310 wirelessly and via ethernet cable

    My printer (a Officejet 7310) is connected to two PC's via a router and ethernet cable. I now wish to install a laptop as well.
    I know the lap top is communicating with the router wirelessly, but I cannot get the laptop to recognise that there is a printer installed.
    I have tried connecting the printer directly (via an Ethernet cable) to the laptop and this works fine. I have downloaded the latest software for the 7310 and utilised both options (wireless and cable).
    Any help would be most appreciated.

    OK, great, I have a much better understanding now.  Thanks.
    Do you have an antivirus program?  Does it have a firewall?  If so, disable it to test.
    Print a network test from the front of the printer to obtain its IP address.  Type that IP address into a browser to see if you can contact the printer.

  • Officejet 7310 Print Spooler Unable to connect to your Printer

    Hello, this problem cropped up last week after I applied a series of Windows XP automatic updates.  I've seen a number of old posts on this problem, along with the series of solutions on the HP site, but none of worked reliably -- read on for more details.  Wondering if anyone else encountered this problem recently and has a solution that has lasted? 
    As background, the 7310 is connected via ethernet wire to a router.  I run two XP machines and am running into the "print spooler" problem on each.  I also run a Win7 machine, and can print fine from that PC (I know, so upgrade to Win7 -- maybe this winter!!).   More details on what I've tried, if it helps:
    To try and fix the XP machines, I have: 
    -  Cleared the print queue and rebooted.
    -  Verified that the printer is using the correct port
    -  Verified that my XP machines can communicate with the printer  by scanning a document
    -  Completely uninstalled and reinstalled the 7310 complete driver set
    At this point I  was still unable to print from the XP machines.  I then did the following: 
    -  Checked the port settings; tried changing to the "print directly to the printer" vs spooling
    -  Also noticed that windows wanted to download updates to the Microsoft .NET framework (because the HP driver installs an old version), so I dowloaded and applied all of those updates. 
    After this, I WAS able to print.  I then changed the port setting back to spooling, and was still able to print.  I then rebooted, and again ran into the spooler problem. 

    Hi NeverBoring,
    Currently the ICS is not supported in Home&Biz app.  Supposedly there was going to be a Home&Biz app update in late February but we haven't seen it yet.

  • LP print Server Prints garbage via Samba

    Hi,
    I have configured a print server that prints just fine when used by a Solaris host. Samba does not print at all using a pcl driver and prints garbage with a PS driver. The server is Solaris 10 Update 5. Samba is 3.X. I used this command to get one of the printers working on unix:
    lpadmin -p myprinter -v /dev/null -m netstandard_foomatic -o protocol=bsd,dest=myprinter1:9100 -o banner=never -n /etc/lp/model/ppd/system/HP_LaserJet_4250.ppd
    If I chop the command down to just:
    lpadmin -p myprinter -v /dev/null -m netstandard -o protocol=bsd,dest=myprinter1:9100 -o banner=never
    It will print jobs from unix/samba clients. From what I can tell Samba likes raw devices and the ppd file I use is a Postscript file. The reason i need the ppd is so that the printer can do some useful things like double sided printing and 2 pages per sheet.
    Any help is appreciated.

  • Officejet 7310 print cartridge door open error message

    I have just tried replacing my black ink cartridge with a new one and it started giving a cartridge door is open error message. I have reinserted it several times and used old cartridges that were ok before but the same message remains. i have checked the colour door and the black door and the projecting wire is slightly loose as it looks like a piece of plastic that holds it in place has gone. I have tried using blue tack but it is now giving a message saying 'Error - remove the right cartridge and check it'. I can try supergluing the wire but I dont know if its this or not, or if the cartridge door sensor is playing up, but I don't know where this is? Can anyone help otherwise it looks like I will have to get a new printer?

    The problem is the spring tension used to hold the cover open is stronger than the poorly designed weak hinges.
    The way I solved it was to break both the hinges, (pretty easy to do just open and close the cover a few times),  lift the cover up being carefull not to break the ribbon cable (wires) from the cover to the base. Then I pryed out the lower spring plates, these are located in the hinge assembly of the printer and removed the black plastic plunger and  the large springs below it from both hinges. The cover wil now stay closed and allow you to print. You just have to be careful when changing the print cartridges as the cover can open too far now and possibly break the wires going to the top cover.
    Happy Printing

  • Printer Driver HP Officejet 7310

    I am so frustrated. I have reinstalled the driver for this HP OfficeJet 7310 a zillion times. I have attached a Bluetooth adapter to the USB port on the front of the printer. When I go to Bluetooth Wizard, my PowerBook can see the printer on the configuration screen, but then it says "Driver Not Installed". Obviously, the computer is smarter than the printer and HP's website which offered no help. After speaking to someone in India for 30 minutes, he told me since my printer was just out of warranty it would be $30 to fix the problem. There has to be something that I have overlooked. I have removed the driver, reinstalled, etc. When you Google HP Printers and Driver Issues with Macs, you get tons of feedback. There is obviously a problem. Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you are my only hope>>>>>

    Your printer is designed for USB or Ethernet. It is not designed to connect via BlueTooth and the driver you have is not designed for use on a BlueTooth network. If you need to connect to the printer wirelessly then you need to buy a wireless access point that can connect to the printer's USB port or Ethernet port. A wireless access point is an Ethernet device, not a BlueTooth device.
    Just because you can connect your mouse and cell phone with BlueTooth doesn't mean every peripheral can. Your mouse and cell phone are designed with BlueTooth communications built-in. Your printer is not. BlueTooth is intended for short-range wireless communications where the communicating devices are not more than 10 meters apart (maximum.) BlueTooth uses different communication protocols than Ethernet.
    I suggest you purchase an Airport Express. You can plug it into a nearby AC outlet wherever the printer is located. You can connect the printer to the Airport Express with either a USB cable or an Ethernet cable. The Airport Express User Guide will explain how to configure and set up the Airport Express as a remote access point. Your Powerbook will communicate through the Airport card installed in the computer.
    I hope I've made this clear.

  • HP Officejet 7310 no longer in my Printer setup

    I recently installed a new printer in another location - HP Photosmart 7520.  On returning to my home location, my HP Officejet 7310 is no longer a choice for my printer output.  I have tried to reinstall the 7310 and I keep getting an error message that it is incompatible with my system (but nothing has changed since I last used it, other than the addition of the 7520.

    Hey @Wunitacharles!
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
    I should be able to provide some suggestions regarding the computer not locating the Officejet 7310.  How do you have the printer connected to the computer?  Is it plugged into the computer with a USB cable or is it networked using an ethernet cable to the router?
    If you are getting an error saying the printer is not compatable I recommend uninstalling the HP software. I understand you have tried this already  but after the uninstall is complete it would be a good idea to perform a disk cleanup in the computer. A disk cleanup will improve computer performance and clear temporary files that may cause issues during the install of software. Once the disk cleanup is complete you should restart the computer and re-install the HP software.
    To uninstall HP software click here:Uninstalling HP Software
    To perform a disk cleanup click here: Performing a Disk Cleanup
    To download the HP software click here: HP Software and Driver
    Please post back with the information on how the printer is connected and I should be able to provide some more help!

  • Officejet 7310 duplex printing

    My printer has suddenly stopped printing duplex. It copies a document double sided ok, but won't print a document. I'm using Microsoft Word with Windows XP.
    It prints page 1 starting at the top of the page and print the text to the bottom of the page and then throws out the sheet. It then prints page 2 on another sheet starting with the text at the bottom of the page and prints the text to top!!! This means I have to turn round every second sheet to get the document in order.
     The pages that I'm printing are quite full of text and include the page number and a one line footer.

    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hello geoff34falmouth,
    First of all make sure that the duplexer is "activated" in the driver of the printer. Go to Printers&Faxes and right click the Officejet 7310 driver (should be called something like HP Officejet 7300 series) and click on Properties. Go to the tab called Device Settings and make sure that the duplexer is set to Installed.
    Second make sure that you have the correct settings in the driver when printing, so in MS Word click File - Print, make sure that the Officejet 7310 is selected and then click Properties. Make sure that duplexing or two-sided printing is selected.
    Third thing you might want to check is the margins of the document that you're printing as the top/bottom margin needs to be a bit larger when using the duplexer compared to when just printing a single-sided job. Top/bottom margins should be at least 12 mm (this is due to the paper handling of the duplexer).

  • Printing with HP Officejet 7310 Automatic two sided and 2 pages on one sheet

    I am trying to print from power point slides with my HP Officejet 7310 with Automatic two sided printing capabilities and I would like to print 2 slides on each page.  Can this be acomplished and is so how?  Thanks

    Not necessarily the cleanest, but you can print to a new PDF file. In the printer properties, select the page size, and multi-up option. You might also find that on the pdf printer menu (at least I have that on my AA8.1.2). You may still have to select the paper size, since it is different from the original.

  • OfficeJet 8500 Printer attached to Windows XP system via USB prints partial pages

    I have an OfficeJet 8500 printer stationed at the desk of one of my users and is attached to her Windows XP system with a USB cable.  The printer has started to print partial pages and will not complete a full page of text or images, color or black and white.
    I have attempted to reset the printer by removing power from the printer via the power cord, and holding # and 6 while turning the printer on (after reconnecting the power cord, of course).  The alignment process took place after this procedure, but it has not resolved the issue.
    I have not yet upgraded the firmware from what was installed at the factory.
    What might I do?  What am I missing?  Do I need to upgrade the installed driver on the system?  Is the printer able to be salvaged?  It doesn't appear to be hardware, as the portions which print are perfect; I just don't get the entire page.
    Thanks in advance,
    Rob

    The USB to parrallel cable will work just find if you don't mind plugging in the laptop to the printer when required. If you want to modify Win XP to be able to print to an AppleTalk printer follow the instructions below.
    "To install AppleTalk protocol to Windows XP
    Required files: (Get them from any system running Windows 2000 Professional or Server)
    netatlk.inf, sfmatalk.sys, sfmmon.dll, sfmatmsg.dll, sfmwshat.dll, sfmpsprt.dll
    If they can not be found you need to unhide hidden and system files.
    Copy the files to their respective places:
    C:WINDOWS(WINNT)\INF\netatlk.inf
    C:WINDOWS(WINNT)\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\sfmatalk.sys
    C:WINDOWS(WINNT)\SYSTEM32\sfmatmsg.dll
    C:WINDOWS(WINNT)\SYSTEM32\sfmmon.dll
    C:WINDOWS(WINNT)\SYSTEM32\sfmwshat.dll
    C:WINDOWS(WINNT)\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\PRTPROCS\W32X86\sfmpsprt.dll
    AppleTalk Protocol should now be available under the list of Protocols you can add in Network Connections - Local Area Connections Properties
    This is only good using AppleTalk printers attached to the network. The AppleTalk printer will show up, if it's turned on, under Add Printer-Local printer attached to this computer - create a new port - AppleTalk Printing devices.
    For more info see: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/s agadd_appletalkport.mspx (you do not need to capture the port for the printer to work)

    I can t access my officejet pro printer via wifi, after a firmware upgrade last week. I can print however from my iPad, but not from my laptop. Both are connected to the same wireless signal. I can see in my printer and router that both are connected. When I connect the printer via a cable to the router, it works.
    As said, I lost this after firmware update.

    Update the software on my laptop : no Improvement
    Switch on/off the router, printer, laptop : no improvement....
    Can anybody help? Would a downgrade offirmware help? Anybody familiar with this problem?
    Laptop : W7-64

    The workgroup shouldn't matter. It's strange that the printer will communicate with the laptop as long as one of them is connected via Ethernet to the router. It shouldn't be doing that at all. It has to be something in the router. I know you mentioned using a different router and it worked just fine. Problem is I'm not sure why this router isn't working right. I'm sure the printer is out of warranty, which is why I'm sure you came to the forums first, but you may need to contact HP tech support. They should be able to remote in and find the setting that's blocking communication. II'll link the information to get in touch with them below. The link will take you to a form to fill out. Once you fill it out and it is processed, it will give you the printers warranty information, a case number, and the phone number to call.

  • Software and Driver Installation for HP Officejet 7310 Crash on my new laptop running Windows 8.1

    I am trying to load the software and drivers for my hp Officejet 7310 on my brand new Lenovo laptop which runs windows 8.1.  I had successfully loaded the software last week.  Unfortunately I lost the disk drive on my 2 week old computer. The store gave me another brand new Lenovo laptop.  On the new laptop I get errors when I try to load what I think is the same software that I loaded on the other computer a week ago.  I downloaded the software from the hp website.
    The driver software download fine.   Originally it then unzipped and a nice interface came up.  I think I clicked the load button.  A message box came up saying that it could not find a certain file in appData\local\temp\7xxx...  I tried the download and install several more times.  I think I then did windows updates and registered my version of office.  I was thinking that with the other computer I must have had the computer in a different state such that the drivers and software installed without a hitch. 
    Things seem to have gotten worse.  I do not get as far.  It still downloads fine but now after unzipping rather than the nice interface with the "load" button I get the a message box.
    The latest error is in a message box with the heading "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library".  The error says that Program:c:\users\...\appData\local\temp\7zS4237\setup.exe  This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. 
    I was able to connect the printer through the "add Printers" and am not actually too worried about having the whole "HP Solution" with the scanning interface.  I am worried that this error will cause me problems in the future with other things.  Thanks in advance for any help.
    I saw similar issuesdiscussed on the web and have tried several things.  I really do not want to reload the OS and start again.  We have barely used the system and I have no idea how this problem occurred and so I would not know how to prevent it from happening again.  I did stop and start the print service.  I was tempted to "totally unload the hp print drivers" but the file names in the posted instructions did not exactly match my files.  Another post mentioned making sure that I had the latest version of Adobe Flash Player loaded.  I went to the adobe site and it said that it is part of windows 8.1's internet explorer.  I ran the test and it seemed to work.
    Could the HP installation failure have corrupted my version of Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi Karen_M2,
    Thank you for your response!
    The HP software does require the C ++ run-time libraries in order to install correctly. Please see this guide, Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error May Display When Installing Certain Printers.
    Here are the differences between the four types of uninstall: 
    1
    Removes the Windows device discovery (Plug and Play) entries from the Windows registry. After running level 1, connect the USB cable to the all-in-one and let Windows try to discover the device again.
    2
    Performs Level 1 and removes the software drivers. After running level 2, run the all-in-one installer and use the "Add a new device" option to attempt to reinstall the all-in-one again.
    3
    Performs Levels 1 and 2 and removes the HP Photo and Imaging software. You must completely reinstall the all-in-one software after running level 3.
    4
    Performs Levels 1, 2 and 3, and removes HP Software Update. You must completely reinstall the all-in-one software after running level 4.
    If you have an HP computer I would not recommend the L4 uninstall as it would also uninstall any other HP software you have installed besides your printer.  
    Definitely continue going through the post I had provided, Re: Error message Microsoft visual c++ runtime library.
    If that still does not resolve your issue, or you cannot uninstall using one of the four methods above, then try the following:
    Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
    Disable any antivirus programs. How to Disable Antivirus in Windows 8?
    Disable any firewall programs. Windows Firewall from start to finish.
    Create a new user account. Managing User Accounts and Logins (Windows 8).
    Reinstall using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
    Hope this information helps, and have a good day!
