My HP 7520 printer prints everything too RED.

I've cleaned the printheads, changed all the cartridges (several times), to no avail. I never had such a problem with my older (now dead) HP 6380 ... it had excellent color balance. WIZYWIG the HP7520 is NOT ... I have to adjust all my color prints to excessive blue and yellow, suppressing the red, to get even acceptable (not good ) prints. I find no way to adjust the overall color balance between the computer (photoshop) and the printer.

Hi , I see that you are experiencing issues with too much red is printing also. I will do my best to assist you with this issue.
Did you already try the steps in this document? Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues. If you are using Windows, download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows? What were the results of the Print Quality Page? If the self tests are printing properly, it would be software related.What operating system are you using? I have provided two documents, one for Windows and one for Mac, to check the print driver preferences. Make sure the proper settings are set for the correct paper type and quality.Print Photos Saved on Your Computer (Windows).Print Photos Saved on Your Computer (Mac). What application are you printing from?Try another application to see if you have the same results. Are you using Genuine HP Cartridges?
What are the ink levels? If you need further assistance, just let me know. Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Prints too red

I purcahsed aHP Photosmart Permium model HPC410a about 6 months ago after my previous HP broke down. I have to say I was quite happy with the previousd printer but this one I would not recommend to anyone.   I am stuck with it I guess till it also breaks down.
It prints totally unrealistic pictures. They are just far too red and it is very thirsty on ink (may be the carrtrides are too small but XL versions that fit are not cheap. I have tried to find a way to correct the redness it but there does not seem to be much that one can select.   I am using HP paper and the correct inks.   A face looks as if they have been out in the sun far too long but there is a redish brown tinge right though the pricture which make is look dark. However no mtter what monitor you look at the pricture on eg. CRT, LCD or LED types the pictures alwys looK to have a good colour balance and the skin tones look like real skin.
I have tried a number of things.
1. making sure the latest drivers are installed both on the windows machines and the Linux based machines
2. printing from a different computers usinhg the same photos.   XP & Vista, Fedora and Mint Linux,
3. used different cameras from different manufacturers and get the same end printed result.
4 used a different printer (was loaned one, not HP) and after loading the linuix driver worked fine out of the box so to speak. didi not bother to try it on a windows machine.
Therefore I conclude that the printer is set up wrong. Using the GIMP program and adjusting the Gamma settings I can get it to look somthing like right but this is a hassle and I should not have to do it.   Is there something that one can set in the HP printer to correc this problem.
Has anyone any idea as to how to correct this problem?
Hoping some one has a solution
Thanks

Hard Reset – While printer is powered ON, pull
the power cord from the printer then from the
wall. After 30 seconds reconnect power to
wall and printer. This will trigger a ‘dirty power
up’ and restore the printer to a known good
condition (if it is possible). No user settings
are lost with a ‘hard reset’.
This ‘Hard Reset’ is one of the most powerful
tools to use when the printer hardware is not
functioning properly!
if not resolved, While printer is powered ON, pull
the power cord from the printer then from the
wall. on the printer control panel press & hold Help key & Down Arrow ...while holding both keys down reconnect power to
wall and printer. It will trigger a partial reset.
if not fixed...printer may have a hardware failure.

How print ADDRESSbook simple list? Everything prints scewd right &too long

I'd liike to print out a simple list of names, phone, addresses from my mac AddressBook. Can't I design the layout? Prints first left 1/3 column jjust phone number, center column just name, and all the other info squeezed at the riight margin with several fields that take up space verticle so I can only print sometiimes maybe 4-6 names a page. If i had a lot of notes in the person's 'NOTES' section of their AddressBook page, it will print out everything, even a couple pages. How not print thhat? I want a simple abbbreviated, short list to carry with at least 10-14 names, address,phone,email, etc on each page.
I'mm sure the annswer is around here somewhere, iif only i knew where.
Thanking you foor your help and time.

Hi thelnukus,
Are you saying that you see the list correctly but it is printing in a vertical format albeit somewhat skewed?
I'm not an expert with printing the Address Book in "list" form but have you tried creating a PDF first and then printing that? You do know that you can select/deselect what you wish to include in the list from the "attributes" pane?
My method for printing a list is this:
1. Open Address Book
2. Select in the "Names" column the names that I wish to print a list of.
3. File Menu>Print
4. Select/deselect addresses/email etc. from the attributes pane that you do not wish to include in
the list.
5. Select other features I want such as Font size (regular/large) from the pop up.
6. Select Print (or if that does not work select Save as PDF and then print that).
post back if this doesn't help and try to explain what you are seeing exactly.

Since your last update, text on all printed documents is too small to read. Spoke to Kodak and it is not my ESP7250 printer as everything prints fine with Internet Explorer

I cannot read anything printed from the internet using your browser. The text is microscopic.

First, try the printer reset described in this thread:
[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/680315 Recently unable to print from Firefox after update-- can print from everything else. | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help]
Does that help? You also might want to check your scaling setting under File > Page Setup (if the old menu bar is not displayed, press F10 to call it up).

Printer prints too cyan

I have been using an Epson R300 for over a year with consistently good results until just a few days ago when the printer for no obvious reason began printing everything too cyan. I emailed Epson support which told me to clean the heads, and check the USB connection. I'd just recently done the head cleaning, but did it again, this time with the printer not attatched to the computer, and I tried the USB cable in both another hub socket and directly to the back of the computer. Nothing changed. Epson said if the heads were cleaned and the cable OK, it was a problem with my software or computer. I've recalibrated the monitor till I'm cross-eyed. No change.
In fact, the only change I've made to the computer recently was to install Apple's latest software update. I've searched the forum for someone with a similar problem, but could find nothing. Could the Apple upgrade be my problem, and, if so what can I do about it?
I'll be grateful for any suggestions.

Hi, Beth.
Is there a color profile assigned to the printer?
1. Launch ColorSync Utility, which resides in the Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities folder.
2. Select Devices.
3. Click the disclosure triangle next to Printers.
4. Select the printer. If there is a color profile assigned to the printer, be sure it is the one you want.
Good luck!

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

My wireless printer keeps saying it's offline but it isn't! Tested printer and everything checked out ok?

I keep getting a message that my printer is offline when I go to print but the printer states everything ok?

Thanks! Because my printer was far away from my router, which I couldn't move, that wasn't an option. Doing the reset and adding it back worked like a charm! Thanks so much!!

I can no longer print to the 3 Canon printers on my local area network. The print dialog box states that the print file is accepted and the job is printing, but the files never print. Everything worked when the computer and printers were initially set up.

I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

How do I set up my HP 7520 to print card stock off Avery 8859 design???

Trying to print business cards after designing on Avery 8859 card stock design. HP 7520 All in one will only print a test page of thumbnails of the business cards even though it shows the correct size, etc. for the 8859 paper.
How do I set the printer for card stock, etc. as Avery describes, and what is going wrong?? I have wasted many hours, and lots of paper, and still NO BUSINESS CARDS!!!

Hi @klmrazek,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that you are wondering how to set up your HP 7520 to print card stock off Avery 8859 design? I am sorry for the frustration, but happy to look into this for you!
From what I can find, the card size you are using is 2" x 3 1/2". This is an unsupported paper size with this particular printer. According to your printer specifications, here are the supported card stock sizes:
Card type
Card size
3 x 5 in Index
76.2 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in)
4 x 6 in Index
101.6 x 152 mm (4 x 6 in)
5 x 8 in Index
127 x 203.2 mm (5 x 8 in)
However, you might be able to get around this by assigning an alternate driver, by going through this post, How to Assign Alternate Print Drivers in Different Versions of Windows, by @Shane_R. Then try a custom size print by going through this guide, Create Custom Paper Sizes in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X.
Otherwise, I would suggest a different size of paper, within your supported sizes using the chart provided. Or you can also try contacting Avery Support, in case they may have additional software or drivers that you can try.
Hope this information is helpful, and have a good day!

I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

Have you checked the ink cartridges and made sure the nozzles are clear? Are you able to print from outside of iPhoto with the correct color?
Try the following: make temporary copy of the library and do the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with re

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with reddish cast and loss of detail
System: Windows 7
Adobe CS5
Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 1400
Paper: Inkjet matte presentation paper with slight luster
Installed latest patch for Adobe CS5
Epson driver up to date
After reading solutions online and trying them for my settings for 2 days I am still unable to print what I am seeing on my screen in Adobe CS5. I calibrated my monitor, but am not sure once calibration is saved if I somehow use this setting in Photoshop’s color management.
The files I am printing are photographs of dogs with lots of detail I digitally painted with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop CS5 and then printed with Epson Stylus 1400 on inkjet paper 20lb with slight luster.
My Printed images lose a lot of the detail & come out way to dark with a reddish cast and loss of detail when I used these settings in the printing window:
Color Handling: Photoshop manages color, Color management -ICM, OFF no color adjustment.
When I change to these settings in printer window: Color Handling: Printer manages color. Color management- Color Controls, 1.8 Gamma and choose Epson Standard it prints lighter, but with reddish cast and very little detail and this is the best setting I have used so far.
Based on what I have read on line, I think the issue is mainly to do with what controls are set in the Photoshop Color Settings window and the Epson Printer preferences. I have screen images attached of these windows and would appreciate knowing what you recommend I enter for each choice.
Also I am confused as to what ICM color management system to use with this printer and CS5:
What is the best ICM to use with PS CS5 & the Epson 1400 printer? Should I use the same ICM for both?
Do I embed the ICM I choose into the new files I create?
Do I view all files in the CS5 workspace in this default ICM?
Do I set my monitor setting to the same ICM?
If new file opens in CS5 workspace and it has a different embedded profile than my workspace, do I convert it?
Do I set my printer, Monitor and PS CS5 color settings to the same ICM?
Is using the same ICM for all devices what is called a consistent workflow?
I appreciate any and all advice that can be sent my way on this complicated issue. Thank you in advance for your time and kind help.

It may be possible to figure out by watching a Dr.Brown video on the subject of color printing. Adobe tv
I hope this may help...............

When I print a Word document to a shared printer, print preview looks fine but the printed page has too much blank space at the top and doesn't print the bottom few lines.

When I print a Word for Mac document to a shared printer (that is connected to my iMac) from my Macbook Pro, print preview looks fine but the printed page has too much blank space at the top and doesn't print the bottom few lines. I have tried to adjust the margins and the page setup settings but to no avail. It used to print fine until recently. Is there a way to fix it so that the printer prints what print preview shows?

I should add that when I e-mail this document to myself and print it directky from the iMac, it prints fine.

Print window frame too big

Now that I'm running Firefox 4.0.1 (on a Vista 64-bit PC), often when I want to print a web page, the frame around the Windows Print box is too big to fit the screen. The buttons that are critical for controlling print functions, and in particular the print command button itself, lie below the Taskbar, out of sight and unreachable in spite of all attempts to reposition the window using the mouse.
I've checked my screen resolution and it's right for my monitor, unchanged since previous versions of Firefox.
I know I can print by hitting Enter on the keyboard, but it's always taking a chance because, unable to see any buttons, I can't confirm that the settings are as I want them to be.
Is there a solution?

I am trying to resolve a similar problem on a Toshiba laptop running Vista. Dialog boxes are being displayed that fill the entire screen truncating the OK, Cancel and Apply buttons that should appear at the bottom of the dialog box. This is happening on all contol panel and games settings dialog boxes. I have tried the Toshiba zoom settings (FN+Space), but this has not foxes the problem.
