HP Photosmart Pro B8350 always prints photos in mirror image

I am having a issue with my photos always coming out with the reverse of the image.
I have checked the defalut options for the printer mirror image is not selected.
I also make sure that I do not select mirror image when going to print.
The OS I am running is XP home and it has all the updates available from Windows as far as I know.
Please help me get my images to print correct!
It is driving me crazy!
Thanks
Don

Update:
I have managed to define this problem more clearly. This is very reproducible, not random. My system: HP B8850 printer on Windows XP-Pro, USB. There is a drastic color failure under certain settings. I first noticed this when printing a photo of a brilliant pink flower - the flower prints as white, slightly yellow, with no pink at all. I can produce this result consistently under these conditions: 1) 4x6 or 5x7 paper sizes (I have not tried all possible sizes.) 2) under Photoshop CS3, setting color to be managed by CS3. 3) In the printer preferences dialog, choosing paper type HP Advanced Photo Glossy, or HP Pro Satin (I have not tried all the paper types.)
Printing 8.5x11 or larger: No Problem. Let the printer manage color: No Problem. Choose Fiber Gloss, or Other Photo Paper: No Problem.
My workaround for now is to have CS3 manage the color, selecting the ICC profile of the paper I'm using, but in the printer preferences dialog, choose Other Photo Paper. This produces slightly inferior color rendition, but I am not as demanding in 4x6 prints as I am in large prints for wall display. Nevertheless, I would like see this issue fixed in a driver update ASAP.

Printing on custom-sized pages (10.625" x 11.69") with my hp photosmart pro b8350.

I need to be able to print on custom-sized pages (10.625" x 11.69") with my HP Photosmart Pro B8350. In fact, it's the only reason I have this printer. I used to be able to, and don't know why I can't now. I did upgrade my OS to Win7 a while back. That may have been the killer. It would really annoy me if my OS upgrade has rendered my printer totally useless.
(In case there's no solution to my problem, then here's my next question......)
If I can't do this anymore, I will need to buy a new printer that WILL allow me to print these special custom pages. Any suggestions?

The envelope size that you might be talking about is a 6.75 Regular, or 6.75R. If you were printing on window envelopes, it would be 6.75W. In all my life, I have never heard of a #6 ep. Yes, you have a challenge with 6.75 because the rollers are not in the correct place for this size of item. In order for me to print 10R envelopes, I have to insert a precut sheet of paper inside the envelope so that the envelope pulls correctly and doesn't get jammed. You might try this with your 6.75 and see if that works for you.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8610 Always Prints in Landscape (OSX)

My HP 8610 runs on a Mac OSX and I cannot figure out how to get it to print in a portrait format. It ALWAYS prints in landscape. I've looked through every setting, etc., has to be something easy. I tend to use the Firefox browser when printing.
Thanks!

Acrobat Pro Extended 9.1.3 shows mirror image for second pdf

When I open a second PDF using Acrobat Pro Extended 9.1.3 the second file is shown as an enlarged text "mirror image." Has anyone else experienced this behavior?

One of our users is having a similar problem. He always leaves Elements open in the background so I'm wondering if this is causing problems when he downloads and opens pdfs using Acrobat Standard 9. He also seeing the images stretch to the point of seeing a bunch of horizontal lines. Has anyone offered any solutions?

Reverse printing a window (Mirror image) in smartforms/scripts

Hi,
Is it posible to do a reverse print of a particular window(Mirror Image) in smartform/script output?
Scenario:
I have 3 windows in the smartforms.
Window1
Window2
Window3
I want to print Window1 & Window3 normally & Window2 upside down like a mirror image.
Regards,
Sree

Hi friend,
One suggestion if you are printing your company logo or some thing like that in the window2 then you can invert the image using paint and then again upload it.
Else if its some sort of text like that then you can rotate it using some functions like '^FWR' like that there are functions to rotate the text.
Or else you can handle this using or setting the printer settings but i think its not possible to change the settings for only one page.
See the Link : [Printing vertical text in Smartform|Printing vertical text in Smartform;.
In this the post by Julie LV will be helpful to you.
I think this will solve your issue if you face any queries please revert back to me i will help you.
Thanks,

I have two printers: Epson XP-950 and an hp Photosmart 7520. Both print photos that are darker than they appear on the PC screen. What can I do to set them to printg what is shown on the screen????

I use Photoshop Elements 12 for my photos. I have a constant problem where my photos don't print like they appear on the screen. They come out darker than the screen shows. If brighten them in the program, I have to almost make the photo appear "white" in order to look good printed. ?????? What can I do to fix this problem??

I am ready to bet that your display is much, much too bright (like all displays at factory settings.
Why Are My Prints Too Dark

Hp photosmart pro b8350

i have just got new laptop it a sony vaio full hd and have set printer to it ,but when i print pics they come out to dark,on old pc they are perfect thats on vista im now on windows 7 , when i put it on new pc it found latest drivers and installed on ok.

Hey stormin,
The best place for replacement parts would be the HP Replacement Parts Store. This is the best option I can think of unless you want to find another printer like yours to use for parts. There may be 3rd party sources for parts but this is the best option I would recommend.
Best of luck!

I have a new Photosmart 5510e, on all printed photos I have horizontal lines each 13mm that are show

The horizontal lines are shown mor or less over the whole page, for an A4 it's more than 20 lines. Same results if I scan a picture, on a black background the line is White an on a White background the line is dark. Please help! Mats

With the old iPad connected to your computer's iTunes, are you able to copy them over via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) so that you can sync them over ? If they are appearing in the Purchased Books collection in iBooks on the new iPad then you should also be able to re-download them directly on it by tapping on them, or via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks apps

Photosmart Pro B8300 will not print on new computer

I have an HP Photosmart Pro B8350 s/n MY728111C1 bought in 2008 which worked well with my old computer with XP. I now have a new Dell XPS8300 with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
When I plugged the printer into the computer I received the usual beep and a message to say it was connected. It installed the Photosmart Pro B8300 series driver that came with the computer. When I send a document (incl. from the 'print test page button) everything seems to work but the printer does not respond. The connection must be OK as the computer recognised it and if I click 'clean the print cartridges' the printer responds, though if on the printer properties device setting tab I try and change from Off to Update now I get an error message saying it could not be completed as a printer communication error occured.
If I watch the 'see whats printing' window the document appears momentarily , says printing and that it is sending it to the 'USB0001 virtual printer port' which is assigned to the printer. I get the bubble message to say the document is printing. However it then disappears and gives the impression it did not reach the printer, or if it did, the printer ignored it!
The driver is for 'HP Photosmart Pro B8300 series', could it be that it does not work with the B8350? The driver is for 64 bit, could the printer need 32 bit? The print processor is hpzppw71. I have tried some of the others. I have checked as best as I can that all the properties and settings are the same as on my old computer. As well as the 'USB0001 virtual printer port' there is a USB0002 port which is not ticked but is shown assigned to the printer. I cannot change that and using it does not make any difference.
Can anyone suggest what is going wrong?
Regards
Andrew Moffat

Hi,
Yes you have encountered the auto sensor looking for white paper. Here is a link to a document that shows where in the driver settings to go.
Driver Settings
Essentially, you will want to change the paper type setting from "automatic" to plain paper. Click on start, and go to your Printers and Faxes. In Printers and Faxes, right mouse click on your printer and choose Printing Preferences. Choose the Printing Shortcuts tab, and Every day Printing. On the right side, change the Paper type from automatic to plain paper. Choose Apply and then ok.
You should be able to print on your colored paper now. Don't forget to go back and change it to automatic when done.

HP 9180 Photosmart Pro Photos washed out

I have a photosmart pro 9180 and the photos from Photoshop elements 3.0 and MS Office Picture manager 2003 sp2 are washed out. I've been trying different settings but have not had much success. How do you turn on the photosmart settings? Would it be worth it to purchase a newer photoshop or something else? Pictures are dark and washed out.
Any and all advise is appreciated.

I have the same issue. I've owned it for a year and I've never printed an acceptable picture.....HELP!

HP photosmart 5520 my new printer on photo printing keeps stating out of paper

my new HP photosmart 5520 will not print photos. It keeps flashing "out of paper, reload" when the printer is already loaded with paper single and several sheets. Is this a faulty machine that I bought or can it be rectified. I never had this problem with my previous Kodak printer. Could you please advise what can be done to remedy this or should I purchase another make of printer. Thanks Michael

Hello shuter1,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see you are having photo printing issues with the Photosmart 5520, it will not feed the paper. Will the printer print on regular 8.5x11 paper?
What is the paper type and size you are trying to print these photos on?
See if following the steps outlined in this guide will help: Printing Photos Saved on Your Computer or Memory Card.
I will look back for your reply.

Photosmart Pro B8800 Color Management Problems

I recently purchased the Photosmart Pro 8800 and am very dissapointed with the photo print quality. When I allow the printer to manage the colors, the blacks have a green cast and the overall print is greyish. I see this with Adobe Photoshop or Picasa.
When I print from Photoshop and allow Photoshop to manage colors, pick the correct color space, ICC profile, perceptual, etc..., it's even worre. The pictures are mostly grey with a little yellow in them.
I can't believe it is that bad. I must be doing something wrong. Can anyone help?
Thanks

How to make mirror image on officejet pro 8600

how to make mirror image on officejet pro 8600

Hi,
You can not make mirror images with printers but you can print mirror images on printers. This is how to print mirror images on a normal printer:

When printing online grocery coupons they print "mirror image".

HP L7680 printer

When I print grocery coupons from online sources (for example coupons.com) they print in "mirror image" mode. Everything else prints OK. I have looked the Printer Preferences and Mirror Image is turned off. Anyone have a fix for this? Thanks.

Hi,
Please use the following instruction:

Other option: using other tool(s) to flip the image BEFORE print. If images/photos, you can flip before hand:

Everything is printing in mirror image

I cannot print a picture without getting a mirror image

I have this SAME issue: ANY pdf printed from Adobe Reader 9.x prints as a mirror image!!! This is NOT a printer driver problem.
Information: I have 4 computers on a network and a network printer supporting them (HP Officejet L7680). I had Adobe Reader v8.x on all 4 machines - 3 Windows XP, 1 Vista64. All printing/viewing was normal.
I decided to upgrade my Vista64 machine to Adobe 9.x (currently v9.2). That was a mistake. Now, every pdf printed from that machine prints as a mirror image of the pdf. I do not see any kind of printer option under Adobe or my printer to print as a mirror image.
So, 3 Windows XP machines with Adobe 8.x print fine; 1 Vista64 machine with Adobe 8.x printed fine; 1 Vista64 machine upgraded to Adobe 9.x does NOT print correctly.
This problem has cropped up with enough frequency that there is some sort of Adobe 9.x problem. A quick internet search will show the extent of this issue.
