Officejet 7410 Always Printing in Best Mode

Bob,
I am in desperate need of some help. I run Vista os. Just the other day my printer - hp 7410xi All in One started printing in "Best" quality all the time regardless if I have "Fast Draft" selected. I have uninstalled everything and reinstalled it all numerous times even deleting the temp files and reinstalling the hp software from the hp website. I have contacted hp and have spent several hours with them and no gotten no solution. I will take any advice. Please help!!

The most likely case would be the failure of the automatic paper sensor. If you have "automatic" paper type selected try selecting "Plain Paper" instead.
If this corrects the issue then you may have success cleaning the sensor with a damp Q-TIP. The sensor is contained at the bottom of a small black rectangular protrusion on the lower right side of the carriage that holds the cartridges.
If this does not correct the issue please provide some details of the issue. How does the printer show it is in best mode? The solution I gave assumed the printer was printing in photo paper mode, which results in many many passes of the printheads on the page. There are other causes of slow printing that may apply.

Officejet 7410 duplex printing

I have an Officejet 7410 all in one with a duplex attached, i recently upgraded to windows 7 professional 64 bit and cannot figure out how to print two sided documents automatically, they only print manually where you have to flip the first page over and manually reinsert it into the paper tray.
I downloaded the latest's software "HP solution center" and updates but can't seem to figure out how to get it to function properly.
I have checked all of HP online support and do not find a solution. can anyone help or direct me to a fix please?

Enable the duplexer as described in the Vista / Windows 7 Duplex Troubleshooting Guide.

Officejet J6480 - Always prints unwanted copies, Windows 7

Concerning the HP Officejet J6480 All-in-One:
Everytime I print a document, it always prints 4 copies even when I specify only 1 copy. Amidst the printing, I always have to manually cancel the print after the first copy is finished. It's also strange because, suppose that I'm printing a 1 page document, in the printer status window, the number of pages reads "4/1".
So, I recently switched my desktop and laptops computers to Windows 7 from Vista. Both machines now have this issue. One machine has Windows 7 64-bit and the other 32-bit. I've ensured both machines have the correct driver installed.
Any solutions?

For the quick solution(it sounds like you may be in a hurry)...
Use the "Windows Fax and Scan" Program. This will find the scanner, and you can run the Scan job and save it to My Documents->Scanned Documents...
Here is a reference on the Windows Scan: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Scan-a-document-or-photo-with-Windows-Fax-and-Scan
For the long term solution: I would really try getting it working with the HP recommended software found at: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/ProductList.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=135&prodTypeId...
Uninstall the old software, uninstall the printer.
Then first start by installing the software and do what the software tells you to do. I have found these OfficeJet devices to be picky on the order things are done.
Hope it helps.

Unable to connect to HP Officejet 6600 after printer enters sleep mode

Actiontec MI424WR wireless router
HP Officejet 660
Dell XPS 8300 (Windows 7, Windows Firewall, Microsoft Security Essentials)
IP Address range: 192.168.1.x
Printer is assigned static IP address
The HP Officejet 6600 printer is easy to set up and works great...for about 15 minutes. Then the printer goes to sleep and the wireless connection dies. Repeatedly. I am never able to restore the wireless connection without rebooting the printer, computer AND the router. I've been dealing with this issue off and on since I purchased the printer four months ago.
I can see from forums that I am not the only one with this issue. What I can't see (anywhere) is a solid fix for the issue.
I can tell you:
1. It's NOT the windows firewall. I've tried it with the firewall on and the firewall off.
2. It's NOT the antivirus software. I've tried it with the service running and the service stopped.
3. It doesn't matter whether the IP address is statically assigned or assigned with a DHCP reservation (though you do need to do one or the other)
4. Adding an ARP static entry helped a little bit to get rid of the "Host reports destination unreachable".
5. It doesn't matter whether the Bonjour service is running or not.
6. It doesn't matter whether the printer is configured for wireless direct printing or not.
7. I updated to the most recent firmware for the printer: that didn't help.
8. I'm positive that the printer is connected to the wireless router correctly.
I ran telnet from my pc to the printer (on port 80) and received no response. I can only conclude that somehow, there's a service that's supposed to be running on the printer that has died or that fails to register properly with the router.
Right now, I'm back to a direct connection between the printer and the computer (usb cable). Which means I can only print from the one device.
I have no intention of purchasing another HP product any time soon. I'll be sure to go out of my way to find knock-off cartridges as well.
Ugh.

Just to verify, what is the DHCP range in the router? Starting and ending addresses? What is the printer static IP at?

Officejet 6110 slow printing

My really old (8 years) 6110 All In One has been working well until about two days ago. It started printing very slow, about 5-10 min. per page. It prints at this speed in all modes. It even prints slow on a test page from the printer menu. I have read in the forum that a bad print cartridge can cause this problem. When I turned on the printer this evening, there was an error code that says "remove and check print cartridge". I cleaned the cartridge contacts, but nothing changed. I have no spare cartridges to change out. I can't clear the error code to try a test page. I tried all the tips that I found on the forum, but no luck. Are there any other tricks that I can try? A new set of cartridges will cost me about $60.00. I can buy a new 6500A for $80.00, or an 8500 for $ 110.00. Is it worth wasting any more time on this, or is it time to replace the old printer?
Thanks, BFK

This is caused by the failure of one of your cartridges. I do not recall if the Officejet 6110 will print in reserve mode, but try the following: Remove the black cartridge and print a test page. Does the printer print at normal speed? Is so the black cartridge was the issue and should be replaced. If not then put the black cartridge back in and remove the color cartridge and print test page. If the printer now prints normal speed the color cartridge was at fault and needs to be replaced.
Do you print a lot? The 6500 and 8500 have a separate ink supply and printhead. They are most suitable for frequent printing. If you only print occasionally the Officejet 6110 may be a better choice since it has less overhead for servicing.
If the printer will not print with one cartridge removed then I would replace the black cartridge with a #27, available for $20. If this does not resolve the issue you could try the color #28 cartridge, about $26.

Wireless installation of Officejet 7410 on a MacOS X under Snow Leopard (10.6.8) fails.

I have an Officejet 7410 wireless printer. It is connected to my wireless home network, as is my new MacBook Pro running MacOS X 10.6.8. The printer works fine (printing and scanning) from Windows 7 equipped PC's. The built in webserver of the printer is perfectly accessible from the MacBook using various webbrowsers. The printer can be used when it is hardwired via the USB port to MacBook. But there is no connection whatsoever when I try to print or configure the printer using software downloaded from HP.
This question was solved.

Let's reset the printing system:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

Thanks

Trying to print 4x6 photos. How can I print with no borders on LR5 with my HP OfficeJet 7410? Even when in Print mode in LR5, my photos show a border. Page Setup shows "borderless". Image Settings show "zoom to fill". But cannot print, nor even preview, without borders.

JimHess~ Many thanks. In my short history with LR, it's amazing how many people I've seen ask this question. I'm nearly embarrassed at how simple the fix was, but grateful that you didn't dismiss such a basic question. You made my week. And my friend's photo album...

Officejet 6400 Prints "Best" Mode Only

No matter where "Print Quality" is set, I get only "Best" mode print quality. I have reloaded the printer firmware and the drivers in my PC (XP OS). Nothing changes. The problem occurs from multiple PC's on my LAN so it is likely not in the drivers. Any sugggestions?

Hi rogerpk,
I will do my best to help you resolve your scan issue. Follow the steps in this LINK for scanning in OS X v10.9.

My Officejet 7410 won't print documents

My Officejet 7410 won't print any files. The HP downloadable troubleshooting utility found nothing wrong with my printer. I've deleted this printer from Windows XP. I've then shut down my computer and printer, restarted the computer, and then reinstalled my printer.
I can print a test page just fine. I can scan a document and save it. But I can't print from Word, WordPad, NotePad, or any document through my browser, which is Google Chrome.
The printer was working perfectly yesterday. Any ideas on what is going on?
I'm pretty desperate, I need to be able to print for my job, and by tomorrow morning I'm going to need to print again, so the clock is definitely ticking.
UPDATE: I removed the printer(s) from my printer list, completely uninstalled the software, and downloaded new software and reinstalled the printer. Now it prints and scans.

Hi,
Do you have an option for Draft mode in the print settings / print preferences?

I am glad to hear your Pavilion dv7 is still working I would be happy to help you get your Officejet 7410 scanning to it.
Please post back with the answers to the following questions;
Is the printer connected wirelessly or with a USB cable?
Is the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or a surge protector? (It is best to connect directly to the wall)
Do you have any other HP Printers installed on this computer? If so, do you still have the printers?
What version of Windows do you have?
While I wait to hear back from you, if you haven't already tried the HP Print and Scan Doctor, please do so and let me know the outcome. You will see a wrench, a yellow exclamation mark, a red X, or a check mark next each tested item.

Officejet 7410 Driver for Windows 10 does not find my wired (Ethernet) printer during installation

The driver apparently didn't install completely because I can't run HP Solution Center. I can access the web server on the printer by using the IP address in a browser. I set it to a static address. The driver seems to install except that it won't find the printer when I select a wired network printer. This printer has been working for years with Windows 7. Surprisingly, I can still print, but I can't scan since the Solution Center won't run. If I use the print and scan doctor, it tells me I need a new driver, but if I then try download it from that program, it always fails. I have installed the driver with a data of Aug 3 2015. That seems to be the latest one. I don't know whar else to do. I need some help.

2. Now choose Selective Start-up
3. Remove the check from Load Startup Items

HP Officejet 7410 All-in-One no longer 'automatically' print double sided

After upgrading my PC from Windows XP 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit my HP Officejet 7410 All-in-One printer no longer prints double-sided automatically. When sending something to print I am presented with only two options: Print One-Sided or Manually Print on Both Sides. If I choose the latter I have to manually reload the paper when prompted. I have tried searching for updates and downloading drivers but nothing has resolved the problem. I've even gone into printer properties printing shortcuts and changed the settings in "Print on Both Sides" to 'automatically' and still I am prompted to reload the paper. It is a real pain when I have to print a very large slide pack especially when the printer decides to pick up two sheets at the same time. I have spoken to HP and they say my printer is old and they cannot help me. It is about 8-10 years old. Any advice would be gratefully received.

Hello Toosweet
In Printer Preferences make sure the duplexer is enabled. Do you have the full feature software installed?

Problems printing with Officejet 7410 with Windows XP

Hi
I have an Officejet 7410 set up at home on my woriesless network. For the last two months it has been working perfectly this way, I have two laptops that print to it, one that runs on Windows 7 and one on Windows XP that have both have the most up to date drivers installed and were working fine. I also regularly connect to a remote desktop connection to access my office database and also print to the Officeject 7410 through this connection as well.
However, in the last week the Windows XP laptop now only prints correctly with some documents, such as PDF's, other documents such as Word documents or emails when printed from this machine print in hyrogliphics such as the Wingdings font. The Windows 7 laptop is still printing perfectly though and will even print the same docments perfectly so I know it's nothing wrong with the documents.
I have made sure the driver is the most up to date and have reisntalled it in case of any problems and nothing has changed.
Do I need to use the Terminal Services Easy Print driver to work with the HP 7410 All In One? It uses TS client 6.0 which is the most up to date one for the XP operating system
I would be grateful for any suggestions anyone can give to help me resolve this please.
Many thanks
Jo

Hi Jo,
Usually when everything is working fine and then suddenly goes wrong on only 1 computer it means something has been introduced onto the computer with problems.
Do you recall any software you might have installed on the XP machine prior to your problems? In particular did you add Service Pack 3 to your XP machine?
Please note I have a new account Print_Hint
