Iphoto & HP Photosmart C7250

Does anyone know how to get iPhoto (6.0.6) to print pictures on a wireless HP Photosmart C7250's photo tray? No problems printing on the main tray, but can't find the right setting to use the 4x6/5x7 photo tray.

I finally figured this out after weeks of messing around. To print to the photo tray of an HP Photosmart printer from iphoto, highlight the photo or photos in iphoto and then click on Export from the File menu. Select HP Photosmart Mac and then you can choose paper tray or main tray.

Photosmart C7250 trouble printing 4x6 photos

I can't get the printer to print from the 4x6 photo paper stack when I print from the computer. It will print from that stack if I bring the photo to the printer using external medium but then it prints it the wrong size. If I send the print command from the computer it prints the right size but on the full size paper tray. I created the original to be 3.3x4.8 and it will print that way on plain paper from the lower tray. If I load the photo on a memory card it will print on the 4x6 paper but will enlarge it to 4x6.
I am using a Macbook Pro OSX 10.5.8 wirelessly to the Photosmart C7250.

We don't. We fix your account. First do the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder:
User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

I have an HP Photosmart C7250 All-in-one - Test Report - The wireless radio is not functioning

I have an HP Photosmart C7250 All-in-one and the wireless feature does not work. When I try to go through the Wireless Setup WIzard, the Test Report indicates the following - "The wireless radio is not functioning. Contact HP Support". Can you help me?

Let's reset the printer. Turn it off, hold the # and 6 keys while turning it back on. Go to Setup > Network > Wireless Network Test afterward to see if it worked.

My photosmart C7250 all-in-one used to allow me to print black and white only, now it won't

My photosmart c7250 all-in-one used to allow me to print in black and white only if I changed properties to print in grayscale, black and white only. Now it says it won't print until I replace one of the empty color cartridges. I do no understand why the color cartridges are running out when I only use my black cartridge.

I still don't understand the difference between what I used to be allowed that I'm not allowed now. I was able to bypass the empty color cartridges by changing my print property to "grayscale" and "black only". Now I'm not allowed to bypass???

Photosmart C7250 will not install with Windows 7

I have bought a new computer wth Windows 7. My Photosmart C7250 will not install on this operating system wirelessly or by USB. The driver will install so that I can print only when I plug it in, but I cannot achieve full functionality. When I try to install it over the wireless network,, it gives me a fatal error (code 14116417). The printer does connect to the wireless network, though. I have uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times, and have run out of options. Any ideas, besides buying new??? I really like this printer!!! And thank you in advance!

I is likely not your printer. Here are a couple of things to check:
1. Disable your security system's firewall.
2. Reboot your router and try again.
Tell me about your network - router brand/model, encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc) and ISP type (DSL, Cable, etc).

Setup can't detect network printer Photosmart C7250 all in one

I volunteer for our local historical society. The person who did a lot of the computer maintenance work is not active at this time so I’ve begun to look at things.
There is a Gateway PC running Windows 7 64 bit home premium, a Sony Vio laptop running Vista 32 bit home premium, an HP Laser printer and (of most importance here) an HP Photosmart C7250 All in one printer.
Internet connectivity is via a dsl line with a combination modem/router. I think the modem/router is a Westell or an Actiontec through Frontier Communications (formerly Verizon in this area) but I’m not sure and I’m not at the museum now.
A couple of weeks ago I was able to connect the laptop to the network via wifi. My next step is to connect the laptop wirelessly to the printer so we can print wirelessly over the network. The printer was originally set up through a usb connection so I changed it to a wired Ethernet connection. The PC now successfully prints to the printer over the network. I downloaded the software and drivers directly to the laptop from the HP site and began the installation. When it got to the point of finding the network printer the software couldn’t detect it. I then put in the ip address for the printer (from the network info printed out from the printer) and it still couldn’t find it.
This same situation occurred when I tried to set it up on my personal laptop (Win7 , 64 bit) as well. Setup couldn’t detect the network printer, even after searching for the network ip address.
Since the printer is connected to the network (router) via an Ethernet cable, I don’t have the wifi radio turned on in the printer. This shouldn’t make any difference.
I’ve searched the forums and haven’t seen anything that is like my issue.
I don’t what else to do. Hopefully someone will give me some advice on what to do next.

What does it say?
If the network has Wireless Isolation turned on it will prevent wired devices from seeing wireless devices. Do you have access to the router?

False paper jam reported on Photosmart C7250

I have been using my Photosmart C7250 for the past 2 1/2 years without a problem. Ny configuration is: Windows 7 (32 bit), Ethernet wire connection with fixed IP address. I get a paper jam message. I have checked that there is no paper jammed. I have cleaned the pronter thourolly (but carefully) and even used (sparingly) some compressed air to clean the whole paper path. I have don all the recommended cleaning / reset procedures.
Once i have reset the printer, i can print a document without a problem. Once the last page is printed, however, i get the papaer jam message. I have even tried to do double-sided printing withoout any errors, except the paper jam message after printing.
What else can i do? Is it worth it to take it to a repair shop or is it better to buy a new printer (since i can get one for less than $100)

Hi @nana1663
Sometimes paper jam messages can be false. From your description, it sounds like maybe resetting the printer could resolve the issue.
I will send you a PM (Private Message), but before I do, feel free to review the HP Privacy Statement.
This Privacy Statement informs you of our privacy practices and of the choices you can make about the way information about you and your online activity is collected and how that information is used. This statement is readily available on our HP.com home page and at the bottom of every HP web page.
There are an increasing number of posts in this forum and elsewhere in the internet with the steps to do a resets on different printers. The reset itself will sometimes fix problems, so the reset is not the issue.
Some resets require you to enter button combinations to open special menus on your printer that you were never meant to access. These special menus are used by the developers and support personnel for debugging issues, but they are not meant for untrained users and can have unintended results. One wrong button push and you no could no longer have a printer, but instead a pricey paper weight. To top it off, if you do happen to "brick" the printer this way, it is considered customer induced damage, and voids the warranty automatically. These resets are only meant to be given out and used as a last resort, and under direct instruction of a HP tech support representative. They should not be done lightly!

Photosmart C7250 All-in-one

AFTER CLEANING THE PRINTHEADS, AND PRINTING A TEST-PAGE TO EVALUATE THE COLORS AND ALIGNMENTE, ALL COLORS ARE OK BUT THE VERY DARK BLACK BAND (THE TWO GRAY ONES ARE OK). ANY SUGGESTION OR RECOMMENDATION WILL BE MORE THAN WELCOMED.
jORGE

Hello @Joarlujo,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I would like to assist you today with resolving the black print quality issue that you're experiencing when printing from your Windows 7 computer to your HP Photosmart C7250 All-in-One Printer. Thank you for including the troubleshooting steps you have already attempted prior to reaching out for support. At this time it does sound like you have a defective black ink cartridge, or your HP Photosmart is experiencing a Printhead issue. The Printhead is the part that the cartridges fit into. It controls 'reading' the cartridges and putting ink on the page. If the Printhead is defective than you may experience cartridge detection, or print quality issues. The Printhead is a non-replaceable part within this specific model. Therefore, should the Printhead be defective a whole unit replacement would be needed. In saying that, there are troubleshooting steps that we can attempt to resolve this quality issue. Can I please have you follow the steps below.
Solution one: Use genuine HP cartridges:
HP recommends that you use genuine HP ink cartridges. HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP ink cartridges or refilled HP ink cartridges. If you do not use genuine HP ink cartridges, the steps provided might not resolve print quality issues.
Solution two: Check the ink levels, and then replace the depleted cartridge:
1. On the printer control panel, press the Setup button.
2. Press the Down Arrow button until Tools is selected.
3. Press OK.
4. When the Display Ink Gauge option displays, press OK. The ink gauge displays.
5. Please replace any low or depleted cartridges.
Solution three: Print a self-test report:
Load plain white paper into the input tray.
Press Setup.
Press the Down Arrow () to highlight Print Report.
Press OK.
Press the Down Arrow () to highlight Self-Test Report.
Press OK.
If the test page printed clearly, check the settings and media you are using, and then try to print again.
If the report or printout shows streaks, lines, or missing colors, continue to the next solution.
Solution four: Clean the printhead:
Load plain white paper in the input tray.
Press Setup, press the Down Arrow (), press Tools, and then press OK.
Press the Down Arrow () to select Clean Printhead, and then press OK. A test page prints.
If these steps resolved the issue, you do not need to continue troubleshooting.
If the issue persists, continue to the next solution.
Solution five: Align the printer:
Load plain white paper in the input tray.
Press Setup, press the Down Arrow (), press Tools, and then press OK.
Press the Down Arrow () to select Align Printer, and then press OK. A test page prints.
If these steps resolved the issue, you do not need to continue troubleshooting.
If the issue persists, continue to the next solution.
Solution six: Calibrate the color:
On the Windows taskbar, click the Start icon (), click All Programs, click HP, click the folder for your HP Photosmart, and then click the icon for your HP printer (). The HP software window opens.
Click Settings, click Print Settings, and then click Printer Toolbox.
On the Device Services tab, click Calibrate Color, and then follow the on-screen instructions. The procedure takes about two minutes and requires two sheets of paper.
Try to print again.

My Photosmart C7250 will not print wirelessly.

I am trying to print wirelessly from my laptop to my photosmart C7250. The troubleshooting message says that my printer cannot be contacted over the network and that it is turned off. The printer is on and I have exhausted all attempts on my own to fix this. I hope you can help. Thank you.

Seems like the HP forum here SUCKS!

Fatal error installing software photosmart c7250 on windows vista 32 bit

Issue with Uninstall and Install print driver software on my PC - printer is HP Photosmart all in one C7250 - wireless network hook-up
My printer had been working for many years. Then some of the photo print functionality had stopped working - I suspect because there may have been a conflict with multiple HP print drivers on my PC. So I attempted to Unistall all HP software (via window uninstall). All successfully uninstalled except:
C:\program files/hp/digital imaging\esupport\hpzscr01.exe
C:\program files/hp/digital imaging\ocr\hpzscr01.exe
C:\pro...
C:\pr...
I was able to manually unistall the first 2 files since I could see where they were located. But I have no idea about the other 2 becasue the error message did not provide full name as you can see. I tried to install anyway (using HP Solution for Install Errors - Windows Vista). Followed all instructions. The install of latest driver/software (downloaded from the HP website) got as far as detecting my wireless printer; then it gets stuck at the config stage at 96% for 15+ minutes - then runtime error situation code 07417929. HELP! I think it's all becasue I can't unistall these phantom files. does anyone have advice?
---------------- More INFO ---------------------
After above, I am able to print in the basic way - but my HP Solution Center Software in not operational. Message when I try to open Solution Center is "No HP Devices habe been detected."
I have a LOG file with some PRT Screens that I wish I could attach to this note (can't figure out how). It may give more insight to the errors.
This question was solved.

The security settings are for local security, if you are not in a corporate enviroment, there should be no reason to worry.
Something we have not tried yet would be to
1. Uninstall the current HP software.
2. Turn off the printer and unplug it.
3. Install the software, and at the point it asks whether it is a wireless or wired connection, choose wireless, and when the configuration window pops up immediately cancel it.
4. It will go back to the page that asks you if it is a wired or wireless connection, choose cancel again and select OK.
5. It will finish installation then ask about placing an icon on the desktop, choose yes and tell it to complete the software installation and place an icon on the desktop.
6. Once that completes, plug in the printer, turn it on, and click on the icon to have it search for, configure, and install the printer.
Let me know what happens.

Thanks

Photosmart C7250 wireless 802.11b fails

My new C7250 works well with USB and wired ethernet, but fails miserably (prints slowly, if at all) on my wireless 802.11b network. All other devices work well on my wireless network. I've spent many hours with HP and exhausted their first line support. They supposedly have opened a case but I have heard nothing in a week. Meanwhile, I took a network trace using WireShark and it shows a large number of retransmissions. (I'm expert with application/network performance profiling.) All you have to do is browse to http://192.168.1.xxx/ to test transmission -- don't even need to install drivers or printers to see the errors. This problem appears to be with wireless support on the C7250.
Has anyone experienced problems or success with 802.11b on this device? How about 802.11g? I would be willing to upgrade my wireless if I knew that it would resolve the problem.
What does it take to escalate a probem with HP for resolution?

All 2004 and newer wireless HP Inkjet printers are compatible with 802.11g and 802.11b networks (otherwise we couldn't get 802.11g Wi-Fi certification). Besides testing for interoperability, we test for a minimum wireless throughput at the TCP layer.
I'd like to see the internal connectivity report that you can generate by pressing the <setup> and <#> buttons simultaneously. Scan the report to a memory card, copy it to your PC and post the image here.
It will tell me information about your wireless network and other networks in the area.
I have a couple of other questions:
Does the slow printing go away after a power cycling the printer and then does it return later?
Does the slow printing go away after a power cycling the wireless-router and then does it return later?
Are you seeing retransmissions of TCP, 802.3 (ethernet) frames or 802.11 frames? I wasn't sure at what layer you are sniffing the data at?
What make and model 802.11b wireless-router are you using?
Do you have encryption enabled? Does disabling encryption change the speed of printing?
How many wireless PC's (Macs?) to you have on your network? Do they all exhibit slow printing?
Have you changed the default fragmentation settings of your wireless-router?
At home, I routinely get 1.5 Mbytes/sec transfer rates between my 802.11g wireless-routers and my HP printers and about 700 Kbytes/sec in 802.11b mode.
One other thing you can try is to go to the printers internal web page, browse over to the Networking, Wireless, Advanced page and enable the configuration "In an infrastructure network use 802.11b behavior".
