HP Photosmart C5280 prints photo's on the backside the photopaper

Hello,
When I'm trying to print out a photo, my HP Photosmart C5280 prints the photo on the backside of the photopaper. If lay the paper on the other side, the printer says I should turn it back. What should I do?

Hi there z45I150,
First lets try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:

To make sure there are no software glitches causing the problem. It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on. Additionally can you tell us what program you are printing from?
Best of Luck!

  • How to print direct onto CD/DVD using HP PhotoSmart C5280 printer?

    Hi,
    I have spent my day attempting to find suitable software to design and print DVD covers direct onto the printable DVD surface.
    My HP PhotoSmart C5280 printer has the ability to load DVD/CD into it for printing directly.
    I have tried using the HP PhotoSmart Studio software and iWinSoft Label Maker but haven't paid for it yet as I can't get it to print on the actual DVD.
    They both try to print and look and sound as if they are printing but no ink ends up on the disc.  I have genuine HP cartridges and high quality printable DVDs.
    If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it as I need to print personalised covers on my wedding DVDs for the guests and get them sent out for Christmas!
    I don't really want to spend more than £20 and preferably nothing of course!
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi,
    To print from your ipad, both the printer and ipad must be connected to the same wifi network. Once this happens, when you select the print option you'll see your printer.

  • When printing photos at my hp 1514n the colors are odd + not suitable. using win7 64bit +lat. driver

    Hi, I' using a hp 1514n for printing photos. It's attached to my Win7 64bit computer. But the colors are not suitable. Printing is in high quality but the coloras are wrong (i.e. instead of a bule sky I get it  turquois).
    all patches installaed and also the lastest drivers. What else can I do?
    The files are ok, because I get the right colors when printign the files at another hp color laser jet with win7 (32 bit)
    Where can I get a suitable icc file?

    I'd use the GutenPrint drivers. They're usually better than the drivers that HP ships, anyway, and the latest version of GutenPrint will work with Leopard while the HP drivers for a printer that old will not. The drivers at <http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs> also explicitly support the DJ960C. Those drivers are usually written by HP employees, are often superior to the drivers HP uses, and, like the GutenPrint drivers, are free.

  • Printed photos cut out part of the image!

    Just got my Mac 3 months ago........I transferred photos from Nikon Transfer software to iphoto. When I finished editing photos in iphoto I sent them to a desktop folder then burned them onto a disc. When my customer tried to print them it cut some of the heads off of the subjects. I shot them in a very high resolution so that my client could get the best photo quality for extra large prints, if she desired.
    Average size of photo is 3069 x 2337. Jpeg format
    Please help, as I am new to mac and want to re-burn the photos so that they may be printed smaller without loss of parts of the actual image (like peoples heads).
    Thanks SO much!!

    Crop them to the ratio that your friend will be printing - 4:6, 5:7, 8:10 - what ever
    Digital photos form point and shoot cameras typically are in a 4:3 ratio and from a DSLR in a 3:2 ratio - they are probably printing is a different ratio

  • Photosmart 7150: print photos from PC

    Hi,
    I have a  and I would like to install the printer in a way that when I print from my PC (windows XP), I can choose if to print from the normal tray A4 or from the photo tray. I don't want to change every time the Printer's settings and neither print photos with a SD card.
    Somebody know how to do?
    is it possible to instal the printer twice and then when printing just select the printer with the wished settings?
    Thanks
    Mattia

    Mine does the same thing - and when I want to print a regular document, it tells me I am out of paper and load paper in photo tray!!  I know how to use a printer - but this has gone on for almost a year.
    We need answers - please!

  • Photosmart 7520 print photo from iphone to plain paper

    I have a photosmart 7520 and I would like to print picture from iphone and bypass photo cartridge and print on standard paper. Thanks

    Hi,
    I'm not sure that you'll be able to bypass the photo cartridge as the plain papaer print will use the same colours.
    In order to get the printer to use plain paper instead of photo paper the best approach would be to use the HP e-Print app as the inbuilt Airprint has limited paper size/source options.
    I've included a link on how to setup e-Print here: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-topics/mobile-printing/how-to-print-mobile-devices-ipad-iphone.html...

  • After downloading Yosemite, my HP Photosmart D110 printer will no longer work. The wireless connection is fine but says it cannot find my printer when trying to print.

    After downloading Yosemite my printer, a HP Photosmart D100 will no longer print. The wireless connection is fine, and a test page printed perfectly directly from my printer. When trying to print from my computer, it says it cannot connect or find the printer. I tried downloading the most updated software from HP website but it doesn't appear to be helping.

    Try resetting the printing system.

    If you have the printers IP address open Terminal (applications/Utilities) and at the prompt type: ping {printerIP}. You will get a reply or failure.

  • Suddenly, the color in printed photos is way out. The test pages are of as is the word "Google",on a printed GoogleEarth pic. I have a Fuji Xerox C1110 colour laser printer. Where do I start please?

    I don't know if it is 10.7 or the printer or what?

    Thank you. I have worked out that it is just black missing. Have latest driver etc, have changed the black toner, phoned supplier. "Bring it in but we are not printer techs" didnt inspire mee too much..
    I'll follow those lines though. At least eliminated a few things.

  • I cannot print photos with my 2610 Photosmart All in One. It does all else well, I get a message tha

    My Photosmart 2610 All in One works percectly except it wont print photos from my files. The printer is about 6 years old and is no longer supported by HP. I have the original set-up disc. Can I use it by using that set-up disc?

    The router has to support Bonjour for airprint to work.  I don't know whether yours does or not - hopefully someone else will be able to say. One frequent suggestion for this problem is to be sure you router has the latest firmware installed.

  • What ate the best Cartridges for printing Photos in a office jet 5610 all in one?

    I have a Officejet 5610 all in one and I am having trouble printing photos. I am using the Tricolor Cartridge and the Photo cartridge with new HP paper and the photos look terrible. What am I doing wrong?

    Please provide some details of the problem - do you see banding, improper colors or ???  What program are you printing from?  What operating system?
    I would start by checking the print settings.  Select "Best" for the print quality and select the proper photo paper type.

  • Im having trouble printing photos from my HP Photosmart B110

    I've set up the printer correctly but was unable to print photos initially so I reinstalled the software which worked. I could use the options and printer properties functions once Id selected a photo, allowing me to resize pictures etc. And then after a while it just stopped! When I click print, nothing happens, the status bar comes up and disappears straight away whereas before it would tell me its sending the print to the printer and when I check the print que, there is nothing there. The only thing that happened was my internet disconnected for a little while and after it came back on, nothing worked? Surely everytime my internet disconnects I don't have to reinstall everything again???? Please help me

    Hello jackie4,
    I understand you are getting an 'Out of Paper' error when trying to pick up photo paper on your Deskjet 3515. I would like you to go ahead start troubleshooting An 'Out of Paper' Message Displays on the Control Panel and the e-All-in-One Does Not Pick Up Paper ....
    Please let me know if this was successful at resolving the error message, if you require more assistance I would be happy to help.

  • Color issues while printing photos

    I recently was able to successfully set up my iBook G4 wirelessly to my Windows-based Dell PC printer network (HP all-in-one printer). I've been printing documents and color banners etc. and everything looks great
    I have also added my HP Photosmart 7660 to my G4 wireless printer list. However, when I go to print photos on glossy 4X6 paper, the colors are bright, but there is a red-ish filter over everything.
    I had changed the cartridge just previously to printing with my iBook so I went back to the store and swapped cartridges thinking I may have gotten a bad one.
    When I got home with the new one, I randomly tried printing a photo directly from my Dell and the colors were perfect. I tried again from my iBook and the colors were still wrong.
    This led me to believe it was my computer and not the cartridge that was having issues printing the right colors. I looked in the Mac Help under colors + printing and saw some vague info on ColorSync and making sure your printer is set up correctly for it.
    Does anyone have any light they can shed on the situation? Does it require downloading specefic software?
    Thanks!

    Howdy, Jesse,
    Just a heads up - you might wanna check to see what driver you are using. Reason I say that is most host based printers are finnicky when it comes to networking (especially wireless) and typically they want to add to your printer list using Bonjour/Rendezvous or Appletalk. If you have added the printer as an IP printer, you may have it setup using a driver that is not designed for your printer (this may happen via Bonjour under some circumstances too). To check to see what driver your printer is using, go to the hard drive, then Applications>Utilities>Printer Setup Utility. Highlight your printer name then click Show Info and this info window should tell you the driver it is using. Also, you might want to check the printer manufacturer's website for a driver update - 10.4 is relatively new and the driver software you are using may be out of date. Or, you may want to setup the printer USB to yer Mac to rule out the network setup altogether. If everything looks on the up and up as far as the driver is concerned, you might wanna try a little bit of trial and error with varying the print settings. In the Print dialog box in iPhoto, go to Advanced Options, then click Copies & Pages and try to find the Quality and/or Color settings for your printer. Try varying color settings and also make sure that the proper media type you are using has been selected. Eventhough the printer is the same, remember that you are using different applications on completely different operating systems and this can definitely have an affect on the way color is interpreted.
    Hope this sheds some light on the situation. Let me know how you make out.
