    Hi pa_tom,
    In your printers folder on your computer, is the default printer set to your printer, or your printer- fax?

    Fritzk,
    Some other useful info would be connection method to the printer and the application we are printing from, as well as if other printing (docs etc) work or not. But in the mean time lets also go through some of the basics together. Lets make sure the printer is set properly for photos using printing preferences:
    -Click the start button and then select devices and printers.
    -Right click your printer and select printing preferences.
    -In the new window that appears on the left you will see printing shortcuts. There will be one marked as photo or some variation - select that. To the right ensure that the size is set to 4x6.
    -Click ok to close the window and save the changes.
    Try the print again. If it does not resolve anything lets move on to making sure we have no software tripping us up. Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en - It can fix a lot on its own and if not give us a better idea of what is going on. Let us know the results.
    If all the software components check out use this article as it handles partial prints under unique circumstances: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c01892627&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    Give the steps listed under windows a try and let us know if it helps.
    Best of Luck!

  • HP Photosmart pro B9180 the color blue prints lavender...using advanced HP photo paper ideas?

    HP photosmart pro B9180 win xp no recent changes prior to problem...question is how to get quality color from this printer, the color blue prints lavender, I am using correct ink and hp advanced paper

    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!

  • How can I get my 5524 to print 7x5 instead of 6x4 on 7x5 photo paper?

    How can I get my photosmart 5524 to print proper size on 7x5 photo paper.  It always comes out 6x4?

    newbynorm,
    According to the print spec:
    http://goo.gl/50mSJ
    5x7 is supported. The steps vary somewhat based on your operating system; what operating system are you running?

  • I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for two years. I got a new printer and installed it although I did not remove my old printer from my computer. I used this program and my new printer for quite a few months, but today I deleted my old printer

    I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for along time now. When I first used the program I had a different printer than I have now. Although I changed printers I never removed the software from my old one. Now this was never a problem until today. When I choose a printer I still had option to use the old one but always chose my new HP Envy 5530 and Adobe never had a problem printing from that new printer. However today I decided to remove my old printer from my computer and now my Adobe cannot find my new printer.  How can I make it find the HP printer?

    Try this --
    Go to the bottom of the link I gave you, and you will see
    click that link and then click the chat button to talk to an Adobe agent

  • When printing from my Mac all of a sudden when printing from IPhoto the picture is really dark.  The test page off my HP color laser jet is just fine.  It is not the printer although older.  All of sudden it does not want to print correctly.

    All of a sudden when printing from my desktop Mac in IPhoto the printout comes out black.  My colors are fine on my HP color laser printer.  I have printed many times and now all of a sudden it is not printing.  A test copy from my printer comes out fine.  I really think for some reason something has changed just in the last few days.  Just communication with IPhoto and the computer.

    As long as your cartriges are full, put a photo on you desktop, highlight it , click COMMAND P and the print preferences window should drop down, and select your printer and photo paper.

  • How do I select what tray/paper I want to print to?

    Okay, I can't figure out how I'm supposed to tell iPhoto or whatever I'm printing from where to print from. Sometimes I've got legal in the back tray, sometimes it's photo paper. Same for the main tray. Depends on what's going on in my office.
    How am I supposed to tell it where to go? I see presets but I can't duplicate the PAPER ON GLOSSY presets so I have to recreate them? I had to pull the main tray to make sure it wouldn't try and print from there since I'm printing pictures tonight.
    I guess this is meant to keep people from screwing up printing but it's screwing up those of us who know what we're doing.

    had the same problem on my new hp 7520: No option to select the photo tray in Photoshop Elements 10 on my MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.1).
    The solution was to use a preset generated in the seperate program standard on the Mac, Preview.  The preset causes an additional window to pop up when you press print, and allows you to select the preset.  You don't see this window unless a preset has been generated.
    To set a preset in Preview follow these steps (other programs could probably be used to set the preset as well):
    1. Select a photo and select print.
    2.  In the print screen select the paper size (eg. 4x6), then in the option that says preview use the drop down menu to select "printer features" which then brings up the options that we are looking for.  Set the paper type (eg. Hp premium papers) and source (photo tray).  Now go back to top and in the preset window select "save as" and give it a name (eg. 4x6 photo tray).   This has created a preset with specified paper quality, size and source which can be used in Photoshop.
    Once the preset is established you can easily print to the photo tray from Photoshop:
    1. Select a photo and select print.
    2. Select the printer, paper size and print size (should match preset) and select print.
    3.  Because of the preset, an additional window pops up allowing you to select the printer and the preset, then select print again to send it to the printer. 
    Of course you can have a number of presets, for different sizes or types of papers, different source trays or even different printers.

  • Printer wont pick up 6 x 4 photo paper

    When we first tried to print from the computer on 6 x 4 paper,  the printer did so, but since then, it will not pick up 6x4 paper,but  it will print onto A4.   When requested to print onto 6x4 paper from the computer it picks up A4 each time.  We have tried disconnecting and it still wont pick up 6x4.   

    Hi,
    Are you using Windows 7 on your laptop and what printer model do you have?
    If you're using wndows 7, then you should be able to specify the paper source as in the screen shot below. The main tray is usually A4 and the photo tray would normally contain the 6 x 4 photo paper.
    Just to clarify one other point: when you say that the printer refuses to pick up the paper, is the printer not printing anything or just printing to a different paper source?

  • HT4356 When or how can I print if mine is not an airprint? And I want to print from my iphone or iPad?

    Want to print but my printer is not airprint compatible according to the list on apple? When will it be available? It is Brother MFC-9840CDW a very expensive, printer, scanner, copier that is not currently compatible? Any help would be great thanks

    Only Brother will know if/when it will support AirPrint, they are the only people who can add support for it, not Apple. Does Brother have their own app in the app store that supports it and/or have you tried any of the thir-party printer apps ?

  • Why am I am getting high resolution signals on any of my photos that I want to print  how do I remedy this problem so that I can print photos and also make a book

    How can I change my photos from high resolution to be able to print them or put them into a tabletop book?

    You're going to need to explain this a bit better
    What are "high resolution signals"? How are you printing? Why would you want to change your photos from high resolution for printing, they higher the resolution the better they will print.

  • HP Photosmart C4400 series-Won't scan to Mac, but will Scan to Print

    I just bought the Snow leopard and this is my first time scanning to my computer...it keeps saying the scanner is not initialized or it will say "sorry, scanner could not be initialized. an error has occurred communication with the scanner." I downloaded the HP Printer Drivers reading that it would help but then said "this volume does not meet the requirements for this update" I am using this for my online classes and I need this scanner ASAP. Please help!

    Hiya
    OK, I tried using image capture but I couldn't scan text with it so what I did is go to the HP site and downloaded the new driver. The site is a bit pants but if you select any C4400 series printer, i think (dont quote me) that its the same driver anyway. There is 1 driver for tiger lepoards etc and a new one for 10.6.
    Anyway I uninstalled my old software and installed the latest software, selected printer etc. Worked a treat. While I didn't want the hassle of this, I scanned the pdf in and tried highlighting the text. Preview works bloody brilliantly. This is going to make life very much easier, Preview picks text up just as it says on the tin. For a dsylexic like me, this is priceless!!!

  • Printer refuses to send pictures to the computer. It wants to print them.

    I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500A.  I've been using the sd card reader to upload my pics to the desktop.  As soon as I inserted the card, the printer would automatically open up on the monitor and ask me if I want to view, scan first or whatever.  All of a sudden, it stopped doing all that.  Now as soon as I insert the card, the printer is asking me if I want to view & print, create or reprint.  It won't send the pictures on the card on to the computer. 
    What happened?  How do I get it back to the way it was?
    Thank you,
    Glory

    Hi @glory281 ,
    I see that you are experiencing issues uploading the pictures from the SD card to the computer. I would like to help you out today.
    I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
    Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
    Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
    This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    If you have another SD card, try it also, just to rule out the SD card.
    Power cycle the router, restart the computer and the printer.
    Try uploading the pictures again.
    Update the printer's firmware, if you are still having issues. HP Officejet Pro Firmware.
    I would also download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. http://www.hp.com/go/tools
    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a great day!

  • 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!!
