HP Photosmart 7520 printer window displays "Loading" can't copy/scan/​fax from printer.

Our power went out approximately five days ago.  Once the power came back on I unplugged our computer and printer, replugged them in tried to restart each.  We are set up wireless....through our landline phone service and satelite TV.  The PC works fine, I can print from the PC with the HP Photosmart 7520 printer and it prints fine.  However, the printer does not display any functions in the printer screen.  I am unable to get it to come back so that I can copy/scan/fax.  The printer window just keeps displaying the word "Loading" and the circle keeps going around on the printer screen (for 3 hours today.....same thing before....I keep shutting the printer down and retrying to no avail)  We did get a message of some error "syntec" not connected.  We have no idea what that is.  Everything is connected exactly how it was prior to our power going out.  The printer is just over a year old.  We seem to keep having issues of various kinds with this printer. We are not very tech savy but, can usually get things accomplished on our PC and we have used the printer often to copy/scan/fax.  Thanks for any help, much appreciated.

Welcome back to the HP Community @logger2 !
I saw your post about how ever since your power went out, the display on the printer will not function properly, causing you to not be able to scan, copy, or fax. My best suggestion would be to try another power reset (below), and if the screen still does not work properly, to contact us directly to see what your replacement options are for another printer.
Reset Instructions:
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
Make sure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power.

  • Can't scan to PDF file on HP Photosmart 7520 printer

    I have two HP Photosmart 7520 printers  - one in my home and one at summer home.  On one when I scan I get the option of document or photo and PDF or jpeg.  On the other printer, I am not given any options and it automatically scans into a jpeg file.  How can I get the PDF format option to work on printer number 2?

    Hi @healthdesigner,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that you cannot scan to PDF on your HP Photosmart 7520 printer. I am happy to help you with your scanning!
    For further assistance, I will need some additional information:
    If the printer is connected, Wireless, Ethernet, or USB.
    If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
    If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well. 
    If the printer is able to make copies.

  • HP PhotoSmart 7520 printer

    I purchased the HP PhotoSmart 7520 printer over a year ago and this piece of [Post Edited} Crap has never worked from the day that I took it out of the box.  You know there is something wrong when HP constantly is updating to try to correct issues concerning this pile of crap.  It constantly would need to have the IP address retyped for the wireless to work, and oh by the way if you thought you could solve the issue by just hooking up a USB cable well think again they don't provide one.  Once you think you have it working then it will loose the wireless signal, or you will have to reconfigure your computer to recognize this printer. 
    The last straw was yesterday when I needed to make a copy for a home inspection on a house I am purchasing, do you think I could just press the print button?  After 4 hours of troubleshooting the only thing this [Post Edited] would print was a test page. 
    I finally solved my problem, I ripped this thing out of the wall and smashed on the ground, now it works better than it ever did.  I can't get HP to give me an address to send this back to them so they can study it or send it back to China to make more garbage printers and stamp HP logos on them. 
    I will never purchase a Hewlett- Packard Product ever again.   Sincerely, Imfckd
    P.S. I still need that address.

  • Photosmart 7520 printer

    I have the photosmart 7520 printer installed in my house in NJ.  I want to buy the same printer for my house in Florida.  Will I have a problem installing the "same" printer twice?

    Printers are identified by it's id, not just the name. So they are not the "same" printer.
    If you are installing a second printer on the same computer, you can just "add a printer", no need to install the software again. Most likely, you can just plug in the new printer, and it will get added automatically.
    You might want change the name so you can easily tell them apart.

  • Why does my hp photosmart 7520 prints blank pages

    Why does my HP Photosmart 7520 print blank pages?

    Sorry to ask an obvious question - but are you putting the paper in the right way? I have a 7520, and as long as there is ink in it, and the paper is facing the correct way, and I hear the print job go to the printer, it prints fine.
    Are you hearing the pringing attempting to print?

  • Since i have windows xp i can only download sd movies from itunes?

    since i have windows xp, i can only download sd movies from itunes?

    That suggests the file is being damaged during download. The first thing to try is a different browser
    Failing that, router issues have been implicated, try restarting your router.
    Otherwise the easiest thing is to get a friend to download iTunesSetup.exe for you and put it on a memory stick.

    Most people have 32 bit XP so you don't want iTunes64Sepup.exe
