  • HP Photosmart D7160 printer could it be fitted with a double sided print unit?

    I only need to know if my HP Photosmart D7160 printer was made with the provision of or could it be fitted with a double sided print unit.?  If I had got the answer I would have purchased the required part.
    i have been searching the HP web site on and off for the last four years for the answer to this question only to find myself going round in circles without ever getting any practical answer.  If and when HP have the courage to answer the question
    and the answer is what I think it will be I will take the printer back whence it came from and demand a refund in full!
    I have just tried a spell check and the website doesn't recognised the name/number of HP manufactured equipment that is clearly printed on the front cover and when I instal HP print cartriges HP tell me I have been a good boy.

    Page 9 of the user manual indicates there is an optional accessory for double side printing.  The data sheet here indicates that (in the US) the part number is:
    HP ph5582 Two-sided Printing Accessory
    Q5582A
    HP ph5582 Two-sided Printing Accessory Q5582A
    A Google search turns up a number of offerings.

  • Calibration Error Photosmart D7160

    After several days of not being used my HP Photosmart D7160 printer decided that it was time for an alignment when I turned it on. Pressing the OK button as instructed (white paper was in the tray ready to be printed) resulted in a page being fed to the printer, a couple of second pause, and then the blank paper was fed through and the error message "Calibration Error" at the top of the original alignment needed window showed up. Pressing the OK button resulted in a repetition on the above paper feed-through. Pressing the Cancel button on the front of the printer breaks the cycle.
    Going to the tools menu and choosing Align Printer produces the same results.
    Looking for help in this forum turned up little help except
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00720653&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=1153494&tmp...
    But before I had read the helpful page I tried the other tool options to see what did work. Display Ink Gauge did show two ink cartridges much lower that the rest. Print Sample page took a while to print a nice photograph of star fish. The alignment must not be very bad.  Print Test page printed out more than you ever wanted to know about internal settings of the printer and a set of ink squares. Obviously all the cartridges worked well so the next function, Clean Printhead, was not needed.
    The last function was Align Printer which proceeded to work perfectly despite the previous troubles! Something had decided to work. Something outside my control was triggered by all that printing. The scheduled maintenance was done and now I can turn my printer on and off without error messages.

    Well, since you are interested I tried to align the printer again just to check and the printer errored out.
    My electronics background favored the dirty cartridge contacts possibility mentioned in the reference given in the first post. I have a typewriter eraser with a coarse rubber eraser on one end and a brush on the other. It is good at removing dirt from contacts. All the ink cartridges were done. Most showed that some sort of tarnish was removed. Two cartridges had a contact that did not lie in the plane of the other contacts. The alignment test did not work again.
    Then the trick of doing everything on the tools menu on the way down to alignment was tried. The printed results all look good. The Clean the Printhead step was also done this time. After each test the alignment test was retried and failed.
    Following the reference we are now at Step Five: Clean and reseat the cartridges. Each cartridge had its contacts wiped with a Q-tip dipped in 3% hydrogen peroxide to remove all organic matter. The contacts inside the printer were also wiped but they all looked in good condition. The align test failed.
    Step Six: Reset and relocate the product was not done because the printer is plugged into an uninterruptable power unit and there is no other place to put a printer in this room.
    Step seven: Service the product may be done in the future but right now the printer works well. The alignment test will be retried after each cartridge is replaced with a new HP cartridge with cleaned contacts.
    No solutions here.

  • Photosmart D7160 connected to desktop with Windows XP, issues with new laptop & network printing

    We have a Photosmart D7160 connected to our desktop that runs Windows XP. I just got a new Acer laptop that runs Windows 7 (64bit). We set up a network to connect to the internet and so I can access documents that had been made on the desktop. I have not had issues using the printer off the desktop with any programs. I installed a creative program to create flyers, cards, etc onto the laptop. Same one as on the desktop. When trying to print off the laptop, I can not access the whole options on the printer. I forget the name of the options I want (maybe called printing preferences) but I would like to choose wether I am using the photo tray or presentation printing or economy printing, etc. I can only choose print.  That is not  good for printing cards, etc. I had made a recipe care template with that program and wanted to print one out.
    What have I not done in setting up my laptop? I tried the to "add a printer" on a network and that did not fix my issue. Any help is appreciated. thanks.

    Hi Bayratlj
    Dunno if you've sorted your problem out, but I had exactly the same problem with a HP Photosmart 3100. I found some advice on http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6201674 regarding the firewall on the Mac and yes that is the problem. But as you'll see with my last post in that topic I cant figure out how to keep my firewall on AND have printer sharing. Just allowing printer sharing in the firewall settings is no help.
    Cheers

  • Photosmart C6180 prints too many copies of PDFs and HTML-documents

    Hi,
    My Photosmart C6180 prints multiple copies of documents even if I haven't asked for it. This seems to only apply to PDFs and HTML-documents, I haven't seen it happen with Word/Excel. It's not consistent, it happens most of the time but now always for these documents. When I look at the console, when it has started printing I see shortly the status "Printing - Restarting". That's probably when it starts the 2nd copy. Sometimes it stops by itself, other times it seems to be looping and I have to turn the printer off and delete the document from the queue.
    HP solution center SW is updated, I run Vista with latest service packs on a Thinkpad T400s.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    My C6180 printed multiple copies of any document from my Vista OS laptop ( wireless connection ), but not from my
    XP OS desktop ( USB connection), even though I selected 1 copy on the print menu. Unchecking "Enable bidirectional support" in the Properties / Ports dialog box solved the problem. Hope this helps someone too.

  • HP Photosmart D7160

    I bought an HP photosmart D7160 a week and a half ago. There is no driver for it--it isn't in the list of drivers that come with macbooks, the one on the cd doesn't work. HP has support for macs that is about as helpful as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. I ordered the new driver cd--still no luck. I tried downloading gutenprint drivers, and now I can't get them off. I deleted everythign I could find file wise, but they still show up in the list when I search for my printer model. Any tips would be great, because I can't return this printer since my b/f threw away my box...

    I called HP service and finally got an answer

  • HP Photosmart C4400 prints too dark

    1. Product Name and Number
    HP Photosmart C4400 All In On Printer
    Dell SE178WFP (I know this isn't asked but I'll include it anyway to see if it helps.)
    2. Operating System installed (if applicable)
    Windows 7 (32-bit)
    3. Error message (if any) 
    None
    The picture looks the same on the computer monitor and on the camera screen but on the small printer screen and when printed it looks too dark and dull.
    4. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred
    No changes except that I went to Printing Preferences> Features> HP Real Life Technologies [RLT] and instead of the default basic setting I turned it off and nothing. It still prints the same.
    I also posted this question on yahoo answers in hopes that someone will help me resolve this issue.

  • Unable to print borderless 4x6 photos with the Photosmart 7510 printer.

    I am unable to print borderless 4x6 photos with the Photosmart 7510 printer.  There are no option listed for any size borderless printing when i choose the paper size and paper type.   I am running Windows 7 Home Premium  64-bit. 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I found it. Once you hit print, click on the options link. It opens a separate window. In that window there are two links, one says color management and the other says printer properties, click printer properties. That opens a new window, in that window click the advanced button. That opens a new window titled HP 7510 Advanced options, under the printer feature section near the bottom you will see "Borderless Printing". Left click on that and to the right a drop down menu opens, select borderless, hit ok. After you do this, it will print borderless however you will still NOT see that option when you print, like you used to with the older HP printers. I couldn't find it in the help section, I just stumbled upon it, very frustrating! It will print borderless.

  • How to set photosmart plus printer to print automatic printables only in black

    Hi im trying to see if there is a way to set my Photosmart plus printer to print my app printables only in black ink

    I am going to assume here actually that this may not be a possible task.  I know it seems it would conserve ink but even most all black-only pages are made of composite black which is derived by a combination of all the colors to give it a sharper image or it will appear dull.  
    Plus, the option for black only is found in the print driver when printing directly from a PC.  The printer itself does not seem to have that option in the device menu/tools.  Some models do have ink-saving options in their eco-mode settings, but (from memory anyway) I do not think this is one of those models.
    If there truly is a setting for it, then it will be found in the printer's web page.  Open a web-browser and type in the printer's IP address (available on the network configuration page  "IPv4") and explore the settings in here.  I have my doubts but it is always worth a try to at least point you in the right direction.
    The manufacturer of the app usually sets the perimeters for these functions so if there was such an option you would find that on the app's page at the hpconnected/eprint website.  A lot of apps provide a section for suggestions, maybe submit an idea and see if they offer a solution.
    Good luck! Let me know what you come up with.

  • Help! iMac will not recognize my Photosmart 7350 printer!

    I have an HP Photosmart 7350 printer. I know this printer is supposed to be compatible with Mac, and I installed the optional thing from the DVD for HP printer drivers, but this one I guess wasn't on it. It is not in the list of HP printers when I try to set up the printer and go to the Printer Browser. I went to HP's website in search of a driver. For Windows XP, the 6MB driver works on Parallels. But for Mac OS X, there are files in the upwards of 100MB, none ~6MB. I found a file for hp photosmart install which I was able to extract using StuffIt Expander, but at the step in the installation where I am supposed to click "Utilities", it just closes instead of opening the list of printers. In the add new printer "printer browser," my printer shows up in the list as "photosmart 7350", but in the "Print using" drop down menu, this hp is still not on the list.

    I was looking here to post my problem with the 7350 and lo and behold, someone else has the same problem. I have gone through a significant amount more trouble shooting than the original poster with no positive results. The printer worked fine until I upgraded from OS 10.3 to 10.4. Since then I have been unable to print at all. I tried to install the driver via the disk. I tried to download the updated drivers from the website. I have spoken with HP tech support ad nauseum about the issue without any luck. I downloaded the latest GIMP-print version, the driver was not in there. I downloaded GhostPrint and Foomatic, the driver finally appeared in a list as an available selection, but the printer came up with GenericClass:waiting for device. I have used the HP util to install. I have installed via the Printer Browser (printer is connected via USB, direct, no hub). I have gone into the advanced feature of the Printer Setup Utility and add the printer this way with the same results. The printer works on the PC machine that sits on the adjacent desk. I am at wits end! I am this close from going "Office Space" on this machine and buying something else!
    Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

  • I change to windows 8.1 and it does not recognize my hp photosmart 7350 printer. HP can I fix this??

    Dear Everybody: How can I conect my lovely Hp Photosmart 7350 Printer to my new windows 8.1 PC.? Bot are not compatible because my printer is too old. Any hint??? Thank you. Roberto

    Hey @rob1836,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I would like to assist you today with installing your HP Photosmart 7350 Printer on your new Windows 8.1 computer. Because this printer did not have Windows 7 drivers either I am going to provide you the generic troubleshooting that worked for that Operating System in hopes that it will also work in Windows 8.
    Step 1: Install the driver:
    Make sure that the USB cable is not connected to the product. If the USB cable is connected to the product, disconnect it.
    Open your Start Screen either by selecting the Windows button on the bottom left hand corner of your Desktop or by selecting the Windows button on the bottom left of your keyboard, to the right of the Ctrl button
    Once the Start screen opens type Devices and Printers
    Click on Devices and Printer to open it
    In the Devices and Printers folder click Add a printer. The Add Printer window opens
    Click Add a local printer
    Click Use an existing port.
    Click the Use an existing port drop-down list, select LPT1: (Printer Port), and then click Next.
    Under Manufacturer in the Install the printer driver window, click HP.
    Under Printers, select the Deskjet 5550
    Note: The alternate HP driver for your product might not be currently installed on your computer, but it is available through Windows Update. Click the Windows Update button to select additional print drivers. Select the alternate driver for your product, and then click Next. You must connect to the Internet before using Windows Update.
    In the Printer name text box, type HP Photosmart 7350 then click Next. The print driver starts the installation process.
    When the installation is complete, a message displays on the computer stating that the product was added successfully
    In the message window, click Finished.
    Connect the USB cable to the product, and connect the USB cable to the computer. A Device driver software was not successfully installed window opens.
    Click Close () to close the window
    In the Devices and Printers window, right-click the name of the product and then click Printer Properties. The Printer Properties window opens.
    Click the Ports tab.
    Click the drop down menu, and then change the port from LPT1 to USB and click OK.
    Close the Devices and Printers window
    Try to print!
    Please let me know if the steps I've provided resolve your issue. Good luck!
