Photosmart 5514 prints blank on card stock

I only get a blank page when I try to print on card stock. It feeds the card and sounds like it's printing but then comes out blank. I've changed the print settings to 5.5" x 8" and to 'matte greeting card'. It prints fine on regular paper but when I try the same thing with a card it comes out blank. I have just changed all the print cartridges. I have tried printing from PowerPoint, from my mail, and from a jpeg file; and all work on regular paper but come out blank on the cards. Any suggestions? I should also mention that I'm using a MacBook Pro computer with OSX 10.7.5 and connected to my printer wirelessly through my home wi-fi network.

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I noticed that you cannot print on card stock with your HP Photosmart 5514 on Mac OS X 10.7, and I am happy to look into this for you! According to your printer's specifications, this is an unsupported paper size for card stock paper. The supported sizes are as follows: Card typeCard size3 x 5 in Index76.2 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in)4 x 6 in Index101.6 x 152 mm (4 x 6 in)5 x 8 in Index127 x 203.2 mm (5 x 8 in) You might be able to try a custom size print, and you could try this guide, Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP Photosmart 5510 e-All-in-One Printer Series. But if it is printing on regular paper, then it must something wrong with the card stock paper that you are using. Perhaps, also try taking out the paper and re-loading it might help, and maybe try flipping the paper upside down, in case the wrong side up is being loaded. Otherwise, I would suggest to try one of the supported card sizes that I mentioned in the chart above. Hope this information helps! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

How to print blank photo cards?

how to print blank photo cards?

Please specify what system, (OS X 10.?)
hardware of the computer model...
and application you are using to print.
If you have an Intel based Mac built after 2006, you are in a pre-Intel forum.
PowerPC Macs cannot run an OS X newer than Leopard 10.5.8, in general.
And many newer applications need the Intel-based hardware, not PPC.
There are several ways of performing tasks, based on the software in use
and this changes when you may have posted in a different area than your
computer model, thus software suggestions based on this, may not apply.
As a user-to-user support community, we have no way to know what your
computer happens to be, its OS X, or the application you may be running.
Some photo card stock (paper) requires a maker's software, to set it up.
Without anything to go on, you could try an online search engine...
Good luck!

Why does my hp photosmart 7520 prints blank pages

Why does my HP Photosmart 7520 print blank pages?

Sorry to ask an obvious question - but are you putting the paper in the right way? I have a 7520, and as long as there is ink in it, and the paper is facing the correct way, and I hear the print job go to the printer, it prints fine.

How do I send a printing job from a remote location to my photosmart 5514 printer

I have given my photosmart 5514 printer an email address. I can print successfully using the wireless network in my house. What more do I need to do to have it accept printing jobs from my iPone or laptop when I am in another remote location?

Hi,
You can send an email (including attachment) to its email address and it will print. Please note: it only supports the following format:
    Microsoft Word
    Microsoft PowerPoint
    Microsoft Excel (HP strongly recommends that you preview documents in Excel before printing)
    Text files (.txt)
    PDF
    HTML
    Images (bmp, jpg, png, gif, tiff)

Print quality on card stock

I have a batch of Georgia-Pacific white card stock, 110 lb. weight. My printer is an HP Photosmart D5460. What is the best print setting to maximize the quality of color photos printed with this printer on this medium? Thanks for any suggestions anybody has.

Print in best mode, and use either premium inkjet paper, or brochure media, matte. The key is that you are not printed on a coated media, but simply paper pulp. Also, your media is whiter than regular plain paper, so you want to use either of the two aforementioned, as the colors they put down are assuming good bright paper.
Hope that takes care of you!

Hi Al-Kets,
Welcome to the HP Forums!

Printing photos on card stock

I can't get my photos to print in the proper location on the 9x6.25 card stock. It keeps printing in the middle. The card stock is scored to fold so the photo needs to be in the upper half of the stock.

Hello Rpatc.
Please try using the crop option in your software to see if cropping the image to your 9x6 size will help.
If you continue to have difficulties, please tell us if you are able to print standard 4x6, 5x7 or 8.5x11 sized images without any issues.

How do I set up to print on business card stock that is precut

My Printer is an HP Officejet 6500A Plus, compuer is a Dell model P10f, Windows 7 Home Premium are the systems and hardware that I have. I am trying to create business cards in the software on the HP Officejet 6500A plus. I have created the business card but am unable to locate a way to print on the business card stock that comes in packages is already perforated in business card style. Where can I set this up on the printer software?

In order to AirPrint from your iPad/iPhone, here's all you need to do:
1. Make sure the printer and iPad/iPhone are connected to the same local network.
2. Open something you want to print (on the iPad/iPhone).
3. On the iPad/iPhone, tap the "Action" button (arrow curving out of a box).
4. Tap "Print".
The steps below typically resolve the issue you’re experiencing:
1. Power off the printer.
2. Completely power off the iOS devices (hold the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously until a message appears asking you to "Slide to power off". Slide across that bar, and it should completely power off).
3. Power the printer back on.
4. Power the iOS devices back on.
5. Try to print again.
Those steps usually resolve the issue. If they do not, try this additional steps:
6. Power cycle your router (usually done by unplugging the router’s power cord, waiting 20 seconds, and plugging it back in).
7. Make sure that the iOS devices and the printer are all connected to the same network, then try to print.

Photosmart C7280 prints blank pages

My C7280 started printing blank pages between pages. I use this printer as wireless. Sometimes it won't print until I go to add printer again. After this last episode it started printing blank pages. I downloaded the file listed in post below for 7260 but it didn't resolve the issue. I went on their troubleshooting page and did as it suggests with the separator page. That didn't fix it either. Any other suggestions? Thanks ahead of time for any help.

Photosmart 7660 printing blank page when using Microsoft word 2007

I have a Hp photsmart 7660.It will print a Test page ok-it will print some of the text in an email.That is the heading and the end, but not the message in the middle of the email. When I write a document in Microsoft Word or Works the printer will go through the motions of printing but all I get is a blank page.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled using original disk and also tried the same using Hp software download all to no avail.
The utility diagnostic says there is no problem everything is working well,but of course it is not. Can anyone help me to resolve this problem please.

I tried this but didnt work for mr. Can you help? How did you PDFed??
It works for me in Word 2010 (or later) using Save As PDF. It did not work in Word 2007 using the Adobe Acrobat PDF printer nor using Word 2007's save as pdf utility. (The hyperlink showed up but was not active.) It did work using the Acrobat tab in Word
2007 (this requires Adobe Acrobat).
I did this by:
first creating the text box with the hyperlink in the body of the document and moving it into the footer area (but still not in the footer itself).
Then I used the Format tab of Text Box Tools and the Postion button (More Layout Options).
I gave it an absolute vertical position relative to the page.
Then I cut the text box, went into the footer, and pasted it there.
It might have worked to just create the text box in the footer itself.
I personally prefer it that the header and footer are not part of the active page when I am typing. This hyperlink is not clickable in Word without going into the header/footer view and I'm fine with that. The QAT workaround is just fine.

T500 and HP Photosmart 7350 - prints blank pages

I've done a search but can't seem to find anything. When I try to print it goes through the motions but pops out a blank page. I've uninstalled and reinstalled with the latest driver from HP. It prints a test page OK directly using the printer's buttons and through the HP software. It won't print when I reinstall and click the "Print Test Page" button. It also prints a test page when it recalibrates the cartrideges. I've tried different cables and connecting to different USB ports; makes no difference. Anyone have this problem?

Sorry to ask an obvious question - but are you putting the paper in the right way? I have a 7520, and as long as there is ink in it, and the paper is facing the correct way, and I hear the print job go to the printer, it prints fine.

I have a Photosmart 5514 printer that won't update e-print, can you help?

I don't need a proxy, just need a connection to my server to get going to my wireless.

I understand you are getting unable to connect to server error message on your printer. I would first unplug router and printer for about 1 minute. I would plug router up first then printer. I would then try to enable web services. If not successful and you get same error message. I would follow these steps.
1. Obtain your printer's IP address
a. This can be done by pressing the wireless icon on printer.
2. Enter the printer's IP address in a browser.
3. Select the network tab at the top of the page.
4. On the left select networking.
5. Select Network Address (IP)
6. Select Manual DNS Server
a. Manual Preferred DNS should read 8.8.8.8
b. Alternate DNS Server should read. 8.8.4.4
7. Select apply you might get a warning just select okay.
8. Try to enable web services.
Let me know how it goes.

Printing cards and labels on Photosmart C4580 printer

I couldn't find my particular problem using the search so I'm hoping for some answers here. I have a Photosmart C4580 printer connected to a Toshiba laptop running Vista with all the current updates. My problem is that I can't seem to get it to print on business card stock or addrress label stock. Here's the issue:
I use Word to create business cards to print onto business card stock. The instructions that came with the card stock say to do a test page on regular paper first to verify placement, which I do - everything looks perfect so I put a page of card stock in the feeder. The printer grabs the page and prints with the image offset towards the top of the page by about 1/4" so that the top of the card is above the edge of the cards. As the cards are repeated down the page, it shifts down slightly so that by the time it gets to the bottom of the page it's almost on the card, but still overlaps the top edge slightly. Printing onto regular paper works perfectly every time.
A similar thing happens printing address labels - again using Word to create the labels for either Avery 5267 or Avery 8161 label stock. On regular paper everything looks perfect, but feed a sheet of label stock in and the text is offest toward the top of the page. The last time I needed labels I was able to get it to print properly by printing one label at a time, then refeeding the page and printing the next one, then repeating until each label on the page was printed. When you're printing several pages of labels that takes a lot of time!
Is there something I need to do to get this printer to print cards and labels?

@ deblois 1089 - I will need a little more information to help out. What are the specifications of the labels? Do you have the measurements and the weight of the paper type? Thanks

OfficeJet Pro 8000 no borderless printing on card stock via Windows driver

I just setup the OfficeJet Pro 8000 wireless printer the other day with the intent to print borderless cards on card stock. I can print anything to it without issue however if I attempt to use borderless mode the Windows driver does NOT allow any paper type other than photo or glossy borchure types.
If I print anyway on card stock it looks ink soaked and muddy. If I print on their recommeded types it looks fine but a card needs heavy card stock, not med or light paper weights.
If I do not select borderless, the print (on card stock) has a dredded border but the print quality is fine.
The driver will not allow even a "normal" or "draft" borderless on standard paper types. Is there a hack or modification to allow me to print borderless on any paper?
