How can I stop my photosmart 7520 printing Samples, Bookmarks and various other pictures ?

Every morning the printer automatically prints various Dreamworks pictures, childrens bookmarks, samples of masks and origami and is wasting huge ammounts of ink. how do i stop this please. HP Photosmart 7520 connected to a mac

Hi there,
If you have previously setup some scheduled print deliveries, you will need to cancel these from where they were originally setup.
They were most likely setup through your e-Print centre login so you should be able to cancel them there. Here's a link to some infomation on Managing Scheduled Delivery Print Apps:

Hp Photosmart 6520 printer assistant error

I have the Photosmart 6520 printer setup on the ip address and running windows 8.1
When I run the printer assistant for scanning on the Windows side everything works fine
BUT when I do to the desktop option and then try and run the scanning option (using the printer assistant) it want to re-setup every time. I went on-line and downloaded the entire printer setup for windows 8.1 and still get the same error.
It was working fine and all of a sudden it started to happen and I have not loaded anything new lately.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks

Hello JonHayward.
I understand your concerns. It seems like your printer software has a conflict. Please follow these steps to try and resolve your issue:
Please uninstall your software from the Control Panel of your computer. I will provide an HP document here, to help perform these steps.
Next, clean your Temp Folder on your computer. I will provide a YouTube video on performing this step here.
Before installing the software onto your computer, please follow this HP document on Using Microsoft System Configuration. Only perform Figure 2, Figure 3 and figure 4, but exclude number 5 in this document. Do not perform any further steps.
Now, install the full feature software from the CD or from the HP website here. Please choose your correct operating system; either 32 bit or 64 bit.
Afterward, perform step 5 in the "Using Microsoft System Configuration" document. This will enable the normal start up.
Please inform me your troubleshooting steps.
Good luck.

Font size when printing from Safari to HP Photosmart 6520 printer

I just bought a Macbook Pro 13 inch, running OSX 10.9.5. When I try to print something from within a Safari web page to my HP PhotoSmart 6520 printer, the font is huge. Does anyone know how to adjust the font size for use with Safari. The font size seems to be ok when I print from Pages, for example. So I m thinking the issue may be limited to printing from Safari.

No one has replied yet and HP has never played well with Apple, so the best I can do right now is to point out a site that has proven very helpful to many users wanting or needing to read up on color management and printing:

PhotoSmart 6520 Print Quality Diagnostic no grayscale

Have a PhotoSmart 6520 printer that has worked well for 6 months. Used several black cartridges over the 6 months.
Ran out of black ink again and replaced the cartridge, new cartridge would not work at all. So put in another, which seemed to work at first, but when printing black in any darkness other than full black there is little to no ink dispensed. However, it will still print black text.
Now after changing printer cartridges twice, when printing the "Print Quality Diagnostic" page, all the text prints out fine, but the grayscale bars do not print at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This question was solved.

Are your color cartridges working? Light grayscale areas are typically printed using the color inks to give better print quality. (The black ink droplets are much larger than the color, grayscale using color gives better prints.) Depending on your operating system there may be a setting in the driver for "Print in Grayscale".
Check the color print quality as shown in the document here.

Photosmart 6520 printing small format pictures

I am having trouble printing 5x7 and 4x6 prints on my HP Photosmart 6520 printer. I can print full page but no other size works. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
Where do you put photo paper for smaller sizes ? The printer needs photo paper for smaller sizes to be loaded properly on the photo paper tray otherwise it won't know where to find the right format.
Regards.

How do I turn my printer from 'offline' to 'online' and why does it keep going 'offline'?

Why does it keep saying my printer is 'offline' and there is no communication between computer and printer? How do I turn it 'online'? There doesn't seem to be an option to do so.
Thank you.

Sorry that you are having a problem with the printer being offline.
Try to perform a hard reset on the printer. Unplug the power cord from the back. Leave it out for 30 seconds and plug it back in.
Are you connected USB or wireless?

How is it best to keep files synced between iMac and Macbook? I work from home on my iMac and then out in meetings on my Macbook and need to have access to the same files on both.

How is it best to keep files synced between iMac and Macbook? I work from home on my iMac and then out in meetings on my Macbook and need to have access to the same files on both. The folders are using Microsoft programmes as this is compatiable with 90% of my colleagues, therefore I can't use the Icloud service.

No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

Re: My printer is offline and will not print, How do I fix this?

I have a deskjet printer model 4260. I recently replaced one of the inkcartridges, prior to that the printer worked.
Now I can not get the printer on line, no matter what I do. I am able to print a test page with all colors working.
I am running windows 7. I believe I have tried everything, like plug and play, to shutting the system down and
bringing it back on line.
The router I am using is Linksys it is hard wired

How do I change my photosmart plus printer from usb to wireless

Hi,
What is your printer ? Please try this:
Click Start > All Program > HP > HP Photosmart {your printer} > Printer Setup & Software.
You should see a screen, select "Convert a USB connected printer to wireless"
Follow instruction from there.
Good luck.

How can I adjust my photosmart 8750 printer to properly frame print?

My photosmart 8750 printer (Win XP on network) does not give consistent results when printing. When printing a photo with white borders, it will give an even border around the photo and cannot be adjusted accordingly. does anyone have a solution to this issue?

This has been a major pain in the *** for me! I have trawled too many online discussions and forum threads on this only to find no real answers that work. In the end I found some software called VueScan which although cost me $40, has now allowed me to scan from my MP600. Check it out at http://www.hamrick.com/

HP PhotoSmart 6520, Printer offline, Wireless printing from Windows 8.1 and others

My parents own an HP PhotoSmart 6520. They have 3 or 4 computers. 1 Is connected to this printer via USB cable. 3 Are "connected" over wireless. The printer has the latest firmware updates according to checks from the printer front display.
Problem is this:
1) When first starting the printer, and the printer gets on the wifi network, all wifi-available devices can print to it over wifi. We are also able to browse to the printer config web pages to see status, and change configs as needed.
2) After about 5 minutes of printer inactivity, all wireless clients can't print to the printer to print, and can't connect to the printer's web page. (The printer appears to be offline to each OS that uses WiFi to get Internet access.
3) If we visit the printer control screen, physically attached to the pinter, find the network configuration, and choose to "turn off" wifi at the printer, then after off, "turn on" wifi and see an IP address get assigned, then all WiFi machines can print to the printer over WiFi. However, after 5 minutes, again, the printer is offline. No matter what or how much each WiFi-based machine sends to their printer queue/spool, the printer remains offline.
4) If the USB-connected machine prints to the printer over USB, the printer once again becomes available over the wireless network.
The work-around is terrible. (Cycle WiFi access every time they need to print from Wireless devices.)
Things we have tried:
1) This is running the latest firmware according to the WebService section request to check for upgrades. They are on the latest according to the results. (no help)
2) DHCP was the initial config for network settings. I moved to a DHCP server configuration with static IP served by printer MAC address. (No help)
3) I switched to totally static IP address, thinking it might be a DHCP lease-time/renewal issue, or custom vendor string issues or bug. (no help)
4) Enabled/Disabled IPv6 even though they are on a NAT-ed network with only IPv4 support. (no help)
5) Visited printer config with web broswer, and change energy saver setting from "5 minutes" to "15 minutes" because the ~5 minute window seemed like an approximate time limit. (No help)
6) Enable/Disable other settings through the web and restart the printer. (No help.)
7) Suggestions listed here: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Photosmart-6520-e-All-in-One-Printer-series/5169038/model/516... (No help)
In testing this, with static IP or not, from other machines, when we can print over WiFi to the printer, the IPv4 address is ping-able from peers on the network. After ~5 minutes pass, and the pinter goes "offline" there are no ping replies to the static or other IP address assigned to this printer. By all accounts, when the printer is "offline" it really is no longer on the WiFi network. Meanwhile, oter devices can ping each other. (All computers, smartphones, tablets, etc can all respond to ping.)
None of the other devices suffer from dropped access to the WiFi and Internet.
Suggestions?
I do not have access to this right now, but I can walk my parents through whatever steps are needed to resolve this.
Thanks!
P.S. Other things tried:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/If-your-printer-drops-off-your-network/...
1) When online, generating report, reports online
2) When offline, report reports that it is still associated with access point
3) Printer is about 2 feet away from the access point it is communicating with and has max-bars showing signal strength.
4) Channel allocation for WiFi was selected based on least used channel, and works very well for all other devices on this channel.
5) There is only one accesspoint with the name it associates with.
6) The only options for power-saving "auto-off" we see via web pages from printer are: 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 15 minutes, and changing to 15 minutes does not allow the printer to remain online for 14 minutes -- it still goes offline to the network after ~5 minutes -- even agfter changing this settings and power cycling the printer.
7) No wireless extender is being used.
8) We tried static IP, Dynamic IP, and statically assigned DHCP served IP.
Once printer is "offline" when visiting printer to tell printer to disable WiFi access, then re-enable it, all machines with items in their printer queue/spool *immediately* de-queue/de-spool their printer jobs to the printer.
This is the closest description: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Photosmart-6520-goes-off-line/td-p/324... Where is that patch?

Hi @TheSynAck,
I see you are using a Hot Spot, I believe we have found the reason for the connectivity issues. There may be a setting that needs to manually configured for the Hotspot to 'allow' your printer access. Also, hotspots may have limitations and restrictions that may cause connectivity issues.
Take a look here: Setting up the Printer as a HotSpot, it shows a Laserjet but the same steps apply.
Keep in mind that Hotspot connections are 'best effort' connections due to the issues of inconsistencies within the connection. They are not routers. Therefore, you may experience issues in the future when using the Hotspot for your connection. Usually a powercycle or hard reset of the HotSpot will resolve such issues.
I would not recommend getting another Hot Spot as the connection is not guaranteed, you could however try a Wireless Router if you are looking to upgrade anyways.
With the PS 6520 you also have the ability to print using the HP Wireless Direct printing option. Please click on the link below to get started:
HP Wireless Printers - Printing with HP Wireless Direct
I hope this gives you a better understanding of the intermittent connection issues.
Thanks again,

Photosmart 6520 Printing 2-sided without binding

I am trying to print a Two-Sided Brochure from Adobe InDesign CC, but every time I try, one side of the Artwork gets cut off on both the front and the back on the Short side. When I have US Letter selected I receive this message, "The Two-Sided option, Long-edge binding, is not available when the destination paper size is set to US Letter." Which I find ridiculous, because my old Photosmart c309g never had an issue like this when printing two-sided
I have tried switching to "US Two Sided Margins" and then clicking Long-Side Binding, but even when I do this the short side gets cut off. Even when I chose "Scale to Fit" the side gets cut off....I have tried finding ways to lessen the width of the "binding" area and also tried to find options to decrease the margins when printing "two-sided margins."
So I exported my InDesign file as a PDF and tried to Print from Acrobat Pro and it gave me the same error message, "The Two-Sided option, Long-edge binding, is not available when the destination paper size is set to US Letter." Only Acrobat doesnt even offer an option for "US LETTER TWO-SIDED MARGINS." Again even with Scale to Fit chosen, both the fornt and back have the artwork cut off on the short side.
There is no paperwork included that explains two-sided printing and the online manual is no help either.
Furthermore, the picture on the box shows a picture with NO white edges and Full bleed printing...is this possible with this model, or is the picture false advertising?
All I want is to print equally on both sides of the paper like I could with my old Photosmart Printer. Thanks for the Help.

Thank you!
I am going to lay out all of my suggestions to you below. I hope they help you!
If the issue is coming from the printer hardware or software, these steps should correct it:
Follow the steps in this guide:
If the guide does not help, in order try these steps:
Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
Repair disk permissions
Restart the Mac
Install the printers full driver here: HP Photosmart 6520 e-All-in-One Printer Full Feature Software and Drivers
In addition, download this driver: HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X
Try your print again and it should now be fixed if the printer was causing the problem. If the issue does happen to continue, post the issue in the Adobe Support Community
Wishing you a wonderful Holiday
