Officejet 5610 Prints like it has double vision

I have tried trouble shooting my printer(i have cleaned the cartridges then aligned them about 15 times). It says there are no errors but, it prints both from the computer and copied from the glass like it has double vision. When I use the scanner function the image looks fine.

If the printer has had quite a bit of use it is possible the encoder strip that signals to the printer where the printhead is has become fogged with ink aerosol.  This can cause double printing or other defects.  Cleaning the strip as discussed in this post may resolve your issue.

  • My husband's only way to communicate is with ipad.  He now has double-vision.  The icons are too small.  Is Apple planning on accommodating us boomers and handicapped with a larger icons? Zooming doesn't help becuase of limited manual dexterity.  Thanks

    My husband's only way to communicate is with ipad.  He now has double-vision.  The icons are too small.  Is Apple planning on accommodating us boomers and handicapped with a larger icons? Zooming doesn't help because it's not a permanent setting and he can't change it too meet his needs because of limited manual dexterity.  I understand and appreciate the desire for consistency, couldn't they make a two or three size option setting. Small, Medium, Large and maybe Xlarge?

    Thanks.  Tried it.  The size of icons is great but now the part of the screen is missing.  For example, he likes going into his  music app, yes, it was easier for him to see and select, but once in the app he couldn't see the sides, so he couldn't select song without a double-tap to get it out of zoom.  I will see if I can arrange his pages so that all icons show.  This is a sort of work around.  Larger icons would be a better solution.  My husbands illness makes him akin to a person with ALS, so his ipad is his prized possession.

  • Officejet 8100 acts like it has a sleep mode, but I can't find any controls for that.

    It will work correctly one day, but then when I try to use it the following day, nothing works, the power button fades in and out, but does nothing.  If I unplug the printer and plug it back in, it will work.  How do I fix it so it stays online all the time?

    I too was looking for something similar.

  • HP Officejet 5610: Problem Adding Printer via USB

    Hello. I am trying to print via USB on a HP Officejet 5610. My Mac has detected it via USB. I tried to add it by "Default Printer." I got the model "HP" but could not find the model "Officejet 5610" for the gimp-print. I tried a few random models to print but none of them work. Could someone help me please? I do not have the installation CD. This is not my house. The person who owns the printer is usually not home and his computer locked.
    Thank you.

    Disconnect the printer.  Remove references to it from  print and scan in system preferences.  Remove the HP folder from /Library/Printers.  Reconnect it.  Try again.  It should dowwnload drivers.

  • Double Vision after updating to 10.4.6

    After upgrading to 10.4.6 I am getting a screen that has "double vision" ... as soon as the loading Screen with the blue bar comes up, and it remains this way. If I reset the Pram at startup, this problem does not happen. This is a new issue after installing the combo update going from 10.4 to 10.4.6. Any Help would be nice.... come on Apple.

    Thanks for the help Vipir, I tried your suggestion, but the monitor prefs have not changed since the previous versions were installed. After the same thing happened everytime I booted into 10.4.6 I decided to boot into 9.2.2 and see if the same result occured, and as I thought, it was an MacOS X issue.
    When I booted into 9.2.2 though I was prompted with the software updates for 9, and one of these updates was for the Geforce Video Bios. The video card must not have had the updates installed , and Mac OS X was assuming the the card was up to date, and this must have been the cause; it has been flawless ever since.
    Thank you again Vipir for your help.

  • Officejet 5610 not able to create custom print sizes

    Hi -- I use my Officejet 5610 for both my work and my personal printing needs.  On my work computer which has Windows XP as the operating system,  when I got to Properties and Paper Options/Quality tab there is a button for me to select "Custom Size".   On my personal computer which has Vista Home Basic as the operating system there is no option on the Paper Options/Quality tab to choose a custom print size.  Is there a driver that I might be missing which would allow the custom print size on the Vista computer?  I'm trying to print envelopes which are 6" x 9" and nothing I do seems to work.  I have managed to print one envelope using Letter size but that took about 6 hours to get one printed.   My envelopes keep causing a paper jam -- which once cleared from the printer is still showing up as a jam on the computer and I have to re-boot the whole system to clear it.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Try the following
    open solution center> Setting> Printer Settings> Print settings and you will find a custom option there and then create a new size and give it a name and when you print from any application you will see the new size reflection in the application. Are you not seeing the custom option as seen below?

  • Crawling text looks messy on the DVD, almost like I've got double-vision...

    Hi, I just finished a Showreel of all my work, put together in Final Cut Pro.
    I exported it as a Quicktime movie and then used Toast 6 Titanium to burn it onto DVD using the 'High Quality' option.
    The footage has come out fine but one thing concerning me is some crawling text I have going across the bottom of the screen; when I read it, it's like I've got double-vision, it just looks messy and not very sharp at all.
    Why has this happened and how do I resolve it?
    I'm sending this Showreel out to potential employers and something like this won't look very professional.
    Thanks for any help,
    Alex Wilding

    I'm not sure how to correctly describe the "creepy" effect that results from vertically animating the text generators in FCP, but they seem to always be there. There are also compression artifacts that add to this that result from the DV compression, if that is the codec you are using.
    One way I solve the first issue is to create my credit rolls in photoshop as a very tall layer, and animate that in FCP. It's a little more tedious, but the results are much better.
    If I need to work in DV, and experience DV compression artifacts, I will create my credit roll in an uncompressed sequence and export to a self-contained movie to re-import to my DV sequence. FCP seems to do better at rendering uncompressed video to DV than it does at rendering the composite of your text and background directly to DV.
    hope this helps

  • Printing to HP OfficeJet 5610 connected to networked Windows Computer

    I have an HP OfficeJet 5610 connected one of my windows (XP Pro SP2) computers that is on my network. I can see the printer under the Windows Printers tab, but there is not an applicable driver. I have installed the HP Printer software found on this page: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=oj-55822-2 &lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=441125&os=219&lang=en, but this didn't help. How can I get this to work.

    Windows Printing and IP printing on OS X are provided by the CUPS system. You need a CUPS-capable driver to use these built-in network protocols. HP's drivers for non-postscript printers aren't CUPS drivers. You need to install the third-party hpijs driver (3-part set):
    http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs
    You also need to get the PPD because your model was left out of the current hpijs:
    http://openprinting.org/showprinter.cgi?recnum=HP-OfficeJet5610
    Unfortunately there isn't a PPD there, either. I don't know how to obtain one. If we're patient, maybe Matt Broughton will come by and help us get the PPD.
    You should experiment with the HP officejet 5500 foomatic model choice to see if it works.

  • Cannot print to an HP Officejet 5610 anything from PSE Version 10

    Help! I'm using Adobe Photoshop Elements Version 10 and I cannot print anything either directly from it, or even anything created out of it to my HP Officejet 5610 series printer.  I am not having the same issue that others have reported with the Fax Window coming up, nothing prints at all.  It doesn't even go into the Print Queue.  I have been discussing (on a forum) with HP and they have suggested using the Deskjet 990C driver.  I tried that and still nothing happens.  I can print to a Canon Pixma with no issue, it's definitely something with this printer/print driver. I tried renaming the printer to make it shorter, I have tried completely deleting and reinstalling the printer (using HP Cleanup utility), I have updated drivers, tried using the 5610 as well as the 450C and 990C.
    This is happening directly out of PSE as well as anything I create and save - so making it a PDF, it won't print.  Making it a JPG, it won't print.  I can print PDF files not created in PSE with no issue. I can print JPGs not created by PSE with no issue.
    Anyone have any other suggestions on things I can try?

    Hi,
    Can you try some experiments please - or tell us if you have tried them.
    1) Load a new image (one that hasn't been saved before) into the editor and without saving it, try printing from the editor. It is important that PSE hasn't saved it.
    2) Load any image into the editor and do a Save for Web (you may have to reduce the size) in JPG format and see if you can print that JPG either from PSE or another program.
    Please let us know the results.

  • A text like box has appeared on the screen of iphone and have to double click everything also it will not scroll down or across how can I fix this?

    A text like box has appeared on the screen of my iphoe and this has to be over the app I want to use.  I then have to double click on the icon for it to open.  I cannot scroll across or down.  I can access the apps but because it will not scroll I cannot access all of the screen. Can nayone help please???

    It sounds like VoiceOver is partially on.  First try triple pushing the Home button.  This may turn VoiceOver off.  If that doesn't work going to Settings/General/Accessibility and make sure VoiceOver is Off.  Note you may have to use 3 fingers on the screen to scroll.

  • Officejet 5610 All-in-One Printer: Properties dialogue box for Mac OS

    I recently connected an Officejet 5610 to a Macbook Air (OS 109.2) & was offered the default driver download which I accepted. The Properties options for the printer are very much different than for Windows XP that I was using and seem to offer far fewer choices. If I install drivers from the CD that came with the printer (Macintosh CD version 7.9.0), purchased in May 2007, will the Properties control be more extensive? 

    Hello HP-5610,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're wondering why the Officejet 5610 properties is different using a 10.9.2 operating system. I will do my best to assist you! For this printer and for your operating system, there is only a basic print driver using a Apple Update.
    Please follow this HP document on OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac. This is properly why you have limited options since there isn't a full feature driver.
    If you have any further questions, please let me know. Have a great night!

  • Officejet 5610 - select a printer

    I have am Officjet 5610 all-in-one and I am running Windows 7 (64 bit). When I go to select a printer the drop down box lists many (may 20) Officejet 5610 series printers. Only one is correct. How do I delete all of these printers from the drop down so I only have one to choose from?

    Sorry that you are having this problem. I know this can be very frustrating. 
    One thing you can do is go to Devices and Printers. Check and see if there is a lot of printers in there. If so, RIGHT CLICK on each one and Delete it.
    Another suggestion, would be to stop and restart the print spooler. 
    1. Click Star Menu
    2. RIGHT CLICK on COMPUTER
    3. Choose MANAGE
    4. Select Services and Applications. Choose Services
    5. Scroll down to Printer Spooler. Stop it and Restart it. 
    Let me know if this helps.
