HP Photosmart 7525 I cannot print borderless, tried everything.

I owned many HP printers. This HP7525 Photosmart all in one, will not let me print borderless.
Put borders etc to ZERO and still comes out with borders taking almost a third of the photo.
Can anyone help. Tks. Captcuddles2

Hey VictorSr,
I would like to assist with this issue and have a few things for you to try.
Have you tried printing a photo from a USB memory stick or memory card plugged directly into the printer? Does this get the desired result in printout?
If the main driver on the PC isn't producing the desired boarderless prints, then I would try using an alternate driver, such as the HP Deskjet 9800 or 6980 drivers, as a possible workaround. Does the drivers produce the desired boarderless printouts?
Have you checked to ensure the printer's firmware is up-to-date? For information on how to perform a firmware update on the 7525 click here.
Let me know how it goes.

My new hp photosmart 7525 won't print

my new hp photosmart 7525 won't print and says it is "offline". In addition, the tray app error keeps coming on. I uninstalled my old printer. I have Vista.

Hi @hannabanna
I would like to help you print to your 7525. Let's first address the tray app error, then we can focus on the printer offline message.
The tray app error seems to be stemming from the older software you have uninstalled, it appears something did not fully uninstall. Please complete the following steps.
Please note; I simply choose the printer I did for steps 3 because of the version of software, we will not be installing this printer, I only want to use it to perform a comprehensive uninstall.
Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box, type %temp%
Delete all files and folders from the temp folder. Choose skip if any pop ups appear saying any of the files could not be deleted
Download the software and choose to save as, save to desktop > HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One Printer
After the software downloads and extracts, open the temp folder again, use the instructions from step 1.
Look for, and open the folder starting with 7z (Example: 7zS2356)
Open folder Util
Open folder CCC
If you have an HP computer run the L3uninstall.exe. If you have anon-HP computer run the L4uninstall.exe
When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
Follow these steps to reset the registry settings and options for Windows Installer.
Hold down the Windows Logo key on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box
In the Open box, type msiexec /unregister, and then click OK.

Cannot print borderless printing from illustrator - prints fine from photoshop. I've updated canon drivers but didn't help.

After buying a new imac and upgrading to lion, then upgrading to illustrator I cannot print borderless on my canon printer. It prints borderless fine from photoshop. I have installed the new drivers from canon through apple but that didn't help. It shows borderless in the print window but continues to leave a border when printing. Any suggestions?

I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps for printer issues found in the article below.

Photosmart 7525 will not print in color, except from the printer.

This printer refuses to print in color from my computer. Since I bought it to print photos, this is distressing. I followed all suggestions posted for this problem. (I had tried them all before.) It WILL print a copy in color from the printer itself. That is the only way. I use Adobe Photoshop and it won't print in color from there, Word, or the internet. Checked printer preferences; grayscale not on. Printer full of ink. Paper and quality OK. Please instruct me on how to print color photos from a color printer!

Hey , Welcome to the HP Support Forum. I understand you're unable to print in colour via PC with your HP Photosmart 7525 e-All-in-One Printer. I'd like to work with you on this. I have some suggestions that might restore this functionality for you. From what you're reporting, with the printer printing in colour from standalone it sounds like the main issue is software related. Accordingly, I recommend you try the following steps: Clear Temp Files: Press Windows Key + RIn the Run dialogue box type %temp% and select OKIn the Temp folder select all items and delete them. The Temp folder contains temporary internet files. No actual files or folders on your computer will be affected by deleting the Temp files. On Windows Vista, 7 and 8 if a Temp file is still be used you can simply 'skip' the used item and everything else will delete successfully. Once the Temp files are deleted close the Temp folderRight click on the Recycling Bin on your desktop and select Empty Recycling BinNext, I recommend running Microsoft Fix it (it's designed for Windows 7 but I have found that it works with 8 and 8.1). Click here to install. I've had a lot of luck detecting and automatically solving common printer software setup issues with this utility. If Fix it doesn't find a fix, or it prompts to uninstall the printer driver click here to reinstall your printer. Please let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post. If I have helped you resolve the issue and you liked this post, feel free to give me virtual props by clicking on the 'Thumbs Up' icon below and clicking to accept this solution.

Photosmart C6280 won't print after trying to clear library/startupitems error

I have had a Library/Startupitems error ever since updating my HP software a couple of years ago. In trying to finally resolve this issue myself, the HP website suggested removing and reinstalling the software. There is no active link within the HP support pages for a download. I found a C6200 series driver online, which I've installed, but now I cannot print anything but a test page, and I still have the Library/Startupitems error. As it is, I cannot even find that file at all to fix the error.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi @Eric_V67
Since the C6280 doesn't have full feature software and drivers, I can't image the error is stemming from the printer. I can however, provide you with instructions to remove ALL HP software including the HP driver that was provided from the apple software update.
If I understand one of your previous messages, it looks like perhaps you had this printer installed previously and then upgraded the Mac OS. If this is the case, then old software that was previously compatible could be the root cause.
Once the HP software and drivers are removed, you can restart the computer and see if the error persists. The final step would then to be reinstall the Apple software update.
Follow the instructions below. I apologize in advanced this is not a fun task! I will try to make it easy to follow. Some of the files described in the following steps may not be found, if you can't find one of the files or folders on your computer, don't be alarmed.

HP Envy 4500 will not print after trying everything

Hello, I have had this printer for about a year now. It has been working fine but all of a sudden it won't print from any computer any more. I know my computers are connected to the same wifi as the printer but it cannot ever locate the printer. I have rebooted the wifi, the computer and the printer, turned the wifi on the printer off and on, followed several HP forums detailing 12 ways to fix it and nothing works. I recently downloaded an updated software for the printer, and while installing it, I have to select a device. It doesn't show up and when specifically finding it manually, it says the device is not reachable. I am at my wit's end!! Any help would be appreciated. I'm pretty frustrated with this printer. Thanks for your help,Rachel.

Cannot delete file - tried everything - file in use by Windows Explorer error

Hi - I have tried now for 2-3 hours trying to delete an .mkv file from my "Downloads" folder
It says the file is in use by Windows Explorer and cannot be deleted
I have tried deleting it using Del command prompt as me and as Administrator (I am the Admnistrator, there are no other users) - no luck
I have tried Safe Boot and then deleting - no luck
I have tried rebooting many times and then deleting - no luck
Any ideas? It's driving me nuts

hi to all who have this bug- "file in use by Windows Explorer error"
this is the only way that it works:
1.type cmd in search box
2.go to the drive and the directory the file is in ,for example:
after you type cmd you have a black screen with c:\user\
type in the drive the file is in and hit enter example - d: than hit enter
than you should see d:\>
now click the directory the problem file is in ,for example i will call the directory "movies" type in this- cd movies
now you will see this d:\movies>
to delete the file type this: del filename.mkv (dont forget the .mkv or any other file extension) don't hit enter yet, first open task manager (cntrl+shift+esc) go to process tab than right click on explorer.exe choose and click on end process
now your desktop should disappear. get back to the "cmd" window and hit enter.
now the file is deleted. now go back to the task manager and click on "file" on the upper left corner then on new task then type in "explorer.exe"
and you are done
please note that the file name you choose to delete cant be with spaces between the letters .if so you will need to change it in the same way in the cmd window only the comand will be instead of "del filename.mkv"(for example) after you are in the
right drive and directory:
rename "test space.mkv" testspace.mkv
hope i helped
this is the only way it workes
Instead of running a CMD prompt and typing everything, just start up Winrar or Winzip, kill Explorer, then delete problem MKV files to your hearts content within Winrar or Winzip.
Winrar and Winzip will navigate your folders as well.
After you are done, create a new Explorer task.
or..... if you need to rename MKV files, just rename them within Winrar/Winzip with Explorer not running.
I change the MKV extension to AVI (in Winrar with Explorer killed) in order to avoid Explorer issues, if I ever want to move the files in the future without needing to kill Explorer all the time to do so .
Using WinRAR works for me. Using the cmd function becomes complicated when I cannot rename my file with the rename command".

Hp photosmart 5510d can't set up-tried everything-ideas?

installed Lion, now the above won't work
downloaded all drivers, firmware
get to the "add device" process and nothing pops up and can't add manually.
All network connections are fine, including that between printer/network.
I am not sure whether open up the back door and throw it out or give it another day of trying to get it right.
hate the back door option. I could hard the neighbor's cat or plants. I also do not like to throw away something that should work.
Tried USB and wireless sets ups. Several installs, uninstalls, etc.
Computer working great, printers was running great, etc. I'm pretty good at hardware/software issues, but I must be weary of poor software from printing devices. Would really appreciate any input.
Any ideas?
Thanks so much.

Hi,
Make sure you are using the driver for the Duplexer model, it is different driver than the Non-Duplex model (which you will see the exact problem as described by using it).

I installed 4.0 and cannot print anything. I uninstalled and installed 3.6 and cannot print anything. Everything has a .tif extension and wants me to save the file and I just want to print a selection from my email!

I have had nothing but grief since I upgraded to 4. It is hateful. I can't print anything. If I highlight something from a website or my email and tell the printer to just print the selection, it doesn't print. It wants me to save the the file and they all have a .tif extension and nothing will print. I have uninstalled 4 and gone back to 3.6 and the problem is still there. If I highlight the desired selection and copy it to Word 2003, it will print what I want, but I can't print anything from the browser itself. That is the only problem I'm aware of so far. I upgraded about a week ago at most, maybe less than that. I'm so sorry I did. Why can't I print anything? I don't want my selection to be a file, I just want it to print!

Thank you, but it didn't work. My printer stays on away, independently of the PC. I can print from Chrome and IE7 with no problem but not Firefox. The .tif extension refers to a tagged image something. I went looking around in the control panel and I found that Microsoft Office has it's own Access Snapshot Viewer. My company installed Office 2003 on my PC but I only use Word in my work. This snapshot viewer was listed in the control panel under Printers and Faxes. It was not the default anything but for some reason, Firefox 4 installation must have kicked it into gear. I've had the Office software for several months with not one problem. I have Firefox4 for less than a week and everything becomes difficult. I deleted the Office snapshot viewer (hope I don't get fired for it) so my little HP printer is the only one listed and now things seem to be working okay. I have FF 3.6 back up and running. I didn't lose any data and I hope the support and security updates stay available for a long time because it seems like there are plenty of people who aren't in love with FF4. Thank you so much anyway for your help.

HP Photosmart 7525 not printing color correctly

HP Photosmart 7525 will not print color from any application.
Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium.
Grayscale is not on.
Tried printing with discolored background correction
Tried each of the color management options separately from discolored background correction and combined with it.
Replaced the ink, and the result was worse!
The quality report shows no color ink whatsoever, and from the display, it looks like the printer believes it has no color ink left.

Attempted to clean cartridges and align the printer through the display pad: no luck.

Photosmart 7525 not printing in color

photosmart 7525 won't print in color .
No matter what device I'm sending from or method I use to send to printer, the print only comes out in black and white.

Hello Pneumatic,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see that you Photosmart 7525 will only print black and white images. Would it be possible to upload an image of this printing result?
Also, if you print a Printer Quality Report, will color print? Touch Setup>Tools> Printer Quality Report. Could you also upload an image of that report too?

Lightroom 2.6 Problem Printing Borderless Prints on Epson R800

I have used Lightroom to print borderless prints (using the paper setting - borderless -sheet feeder) and all has worked fine until I downloaded the new Apple Epson driver. I found this new Apple driver did not work well as the colours were washed out. So, I went back to the current Epson driver for Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6.2) and I can print again. (The prints are now a bit dark but that can be addressed).
However, I now find I cannot print borderless prints (i.e. with no white edge) via Lightroom 2.6 using the current Epson driver and paper setting of borderless sheet feeder. The printer responds with "media not loaded correctly". When I go to Photoshop CS4 or iPhoto, I can print borderless prints. So, something is going on in Lightroom.
Any suggestions? Except of course to print borderless prints from Photoshop.

Sam,
I am still working on a similar problem with one of my Epson printers. The newer Epson R280 (may be R290 outside the US) works just fine with borderless. The older SP 2200 does not. I have been in communication with Epson, but not yet resolved. For most printers the newest software referenced for Leopard is with EasyPrint, but with this old 2200 the driver referenced is still not nearly as recently released as the EasyPrint frame work. The reply I got back from Epson was not satisfactory because it ignored the fact I am connected to my 2200 via Firewire and not USB, and all reference in the reply was to USB connection. Despite doubting the usefulness of the reply, I will have to move my 2200 much closer to the computer to try connecting with USB, and I simply have not tried it, since I doubt it will help.
My issues with borderless on the SP 2200 are also present when printing borderless from Photoshop CS3 and from Pages. Thus it seems more a problem with Leopard than with Aperture.
Sorry to not be more helpful or hopeful, but I think drivers for some printers are not fully tuned to printing in Leopard.

Illustrator cannot print a file 47.7mb big but will print it after it is rasterize

Trying to help a user troubleshoot the issue. The user is a designer and prints multiple files. There is this one file that is 47.7mb big and illustrator says it cannot print when trying to print. But when the image is rasterize it will print.
The printer is Konica C454, connected over ethernet (local connection is not possible)
iMac is running 10.9.4
try printing the file from local drive and over the server still the same issue
I am using the original printer driver from Konica and is up to date.
If you need anymore information please let me know.
NOTE:: I work for an Outsource IT company just trying to solve an issue. I do not know much about Adobe. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

stempmac,
If the printer has or can be furnished with a PostScript (emulation) driver, try to have the user use that. It may solve the issue.
Illy basically dislikes working with non PostScript printers because they may fail to understand what she is trying to show.
You may also have a look at this recent thread.
Re: low quality printing
Edit: This specification page shows that it has a PostScript driver:
Specifications - bizhub C554/C454/C364/C284/C224 | KONICA MINOLTA
It should make it work (if going through PDF works and it is not some (other) strange issue).
