Photosmart 5520 with OS x v 10.5 COME ON

Hey I just got a Photosmart 5520. And now i need to print
but guess i have "old" mac with OS X 10.5. 8
Is there some old drivers that might work or what should i do?? preffer not too buy new gear.
somebody? plz
many thanks!

Welcome to the forums @Karlpe
Unfortunately, the Photosmart 5520 does not have a driver for OS X 10.5. Below is the link to the drivers page so you can see as well.
HP Photosmart 5520 e-All-in-One Printer Drivers
From my own experience, most of the printers I come across, need 10.6 or higher. You can always use the same link to check on any other model of printer to see if they have drivers available for whichever OS X you are using.
I hope that clears up any concerns and helps!
Have a terrific weekend

Problems scanning HP PHOTOSMART 5520 with OSX 10.9 Mavericks

Hi,
I have recently download OS 10.9 Mavericks. And now HP PHOTOSMART 5520 SCAN is not working properly. In fact I cannot scan. I use the printer by wifi.
Do we need drivers for OSX 10.9 Mavericks?
Alberto Bermejo

I should be more clear. Scanning with HP Scan, I can scan and see a preview. I can save the file ONCE but the image or docuement is garbled when I open the saved file. If I try to save again using a different format (and a different name), I get the error:
"An error has occured saving the file because it could not be written to. Check the proerties for the file to make sure it is not read-only."

Photosmart 5520 created own wireless network

I've successfully set up my new wireless HP Photosmart 5520 with one problem. It says it joined our home network, yet whenever we try to print to it we can't. I've figured out that the printer has set up its own wireless network called "HP-Print-74-Photosmart 5520" and if we wish to print or scan, we have to switch from our home wifi network to this wifi network. This is ridiculous. Can someon please help? We should be able to print and scan using our normal home wifi router network. (We're all mac users.)
If I can't get this to work properly, I'm returning the thing to the store tomorrow!
Thank you.

Hi,
Looks like the way you setup is not right. You can use Ad-hoc network to print but this is not what you want. Please check the following manual to set it up the way you want:

Photosmart 5520 which is constantly offline

I have the Photosmart 5520 printer which is offline. When I bought it a year ago it was fine, but now it's constantly offline and I am unable to print. I am very challenged so I'm hoping someone can offer baby steps as to how to get it back online. Wireless is fine and the printer is right next to the router. Thanks.

I am using mac with 10.9.2 Maverick OS.
My photosmart 5520 with normal wireless setup does not work.
I try also to configure my 5520 with static IP but it does not work.
I try to reset printer and uninstall mac software and I reinstalled it... not work.
Must reconfigure printer wireless and can print one time.
Then when printer goes to sleep mode no way to find it on network again!! (with assigned ip or static or anything else).
I'm loosing too many time with this kind of very bad printer.
I see around on the web it is a common problem so... what?
Thank you.

HP Photosmart 5520 Unable to communicate with printer

I have had a HP Photosmart 5520 for a few months that I am NEVER able to print wirelessly from Windows 7 PC's after it has been sitting idle for a period of time.
When the printer is first powered on everything works great.   I have two HP Win7 laptops that will both print to it with no issues.   However, if the printer has been powered on for some time and I try to print from either of these PC's, I get the "Unable to Communicate with the Printer" message below from the printer software running on the PC.
However, the printer appears to be working fine on the network for every other debug test I do while it is in this state. For example, if I open a command shell on the same PC and ping the pinter IP, it responds just fine.  I also put the known IP address in a browser window and the printer serves up the status page with no issues. The status page confirms the IP address is correct and says that everything is working fine from a connectivity standpoint (see pics below). Still, it won't print.
If I simply turn the printer off and then turn it back on, all pending jobs are printed. Any subsequent jobs that are printed also print w/o issue. However, if the printer sits idle for a short period of time it is right back in the same state! Please help, this is very frustrating!!
The behavior is the same if I (1) let my router DHCP server assign an IP address, (2) configure the DCHP server to always provide the same IP address to the printer MAC (which it was doing anyway), or (3) configure the printer to use a static IP address.
I am using a Netgear WNDR3700v2 wireless router firmware v1.0.0.36 (the latest).   Details about the printer, printer firmware version, printer network setup can be found below.

I changed two settings related to WLAN inside my router (see detailed feedback below). I doubt that they will have an impact,, but will report back with what happens.
The reason I do not think it is related to the connection to the printer is becuase when it is in a state where the PC can't print to the printer, I verify the connection is OK by pointing by browser to the ip of the printer. It works just fine....
The reason I don't thing there is anything set up wrong on my PC is because when it is in this "bad" state, I can simply power cycle the printer and the jobs stuck in the PC print spool all go through.
1. Set a static IP in the printer (see step 6) outside the DHCP range of the router (check your manual).
Previously tried (still configured this way)
2. Verify in the printer that 'Auto Off' is disabled. Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) by going to the
    printers IP address in your browsers address bar, click Settings Tab/Auto Off. Or use the Printer
    Assistant, Printer Home Page (EWS).
Previously tried (still configured this way)
In the router: (Refer to your router manual for information)
3. Use a fixed wireless channel like 1,6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest.
Changed this.
4. Set router to 20Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on router.
I don't know what this is. Is it related to the Wireless throughput? (I have 2.4Ghz bans set "up to 54Mbps", 5Ghz band set to "up to 300Mbps")
5. Always use WPA2-AES (Personal) encryption, but you can try ‘mixed’ mode.
Already using this configuration
6. Disable WPS and never use it and disable UPnP for the routers security. Nobody can hack your
   system now and helps with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, search the web).
Already using this configuration
7. If you have a dual band router (2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz bands), make sure the SSID’s are NOT the same,
   they must be different for all bands, even for any Guest networks.
Changed this.
8. Save all settings. Power off both, wait 5 mins. Power on router wait 3 mins.
9. Power on printer and verify it reconnects to router.
Windows 7/8/8.1   Is Network Discovery on or off?

Issue with HP Photosmart 5520 and Windows XP laptop

Hi there,
Was hoping for some help.
I have a HP Photosmart 5520 which is setup correctly on my wireless network has been working for some time.
There are a few laptops on the network that can print to it fine, including my Asus, which is running Windows 7.
At this moment in time, my housemates laptop, a HP running Windows XP is unable to connect to the printer. It was working fine however after a virus and malware scan discovered heaps of malicious software, which was removed, the laptop was unable to print. It still had the printer as listed but it seems the actual print job wasn't being sent to the printer.
As mentioned earlier, I am still able to print fine from this laptop.
From here I have removed the printer from the HP laptop, along with the software. This was so I could attempt to reinstall the printer on the laptop. Now, when I try to reintall the printer, upon selecting the Wireless option it doesn't appear to be able to find the printer. This printer is setup on a static IP, so I've typed in the IP and it still appears that the laptop just can not find the printer.
I have attempted everything but nothing seems to want to work. I know XP is a dead operating system but the house mate has no choice but to use it for now.
Is there any suggestions? I don't know if it's the printer or the laptop.
Look forward to any replies, and thank you in advance.
Kindest Regards,
Michael.

Then setup the wireless by going to start, all programs, HP, select the printer, select Printer Setup & Software Selection,

Photosmart 5520 won't scan to Mac

Today I bought a Photosmart 5520 e-All-In-One to replace my previous B110. I cannot get it to scan to my iMac, after hours of trying. My iMac is running Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 and is fully up-to-date as of today. When I try to scan, the printer provides the following message - "No Computer Found. Make sure the printer software is installed on your computer, and that "Scan to Computer" is enabled via the printer software.". I have installed, uninstalled, "scrubbed" and reinstalled 6 times, from the CD only, and from the HP website both via the link on the CD and independenlty. I have shut down the printer, pulled out the cable and put it back again numerous times. I have shut down and restarted the iMac just as many times. I've tried using the USB cable provided, and wirelessly. The printer will let me print from the iMac wirelessly. The printer will communicate wirelessly with our old Windows laptop, both for printing and scanning. The HP Utility on the iMac is having trouble with the "Enable Scan to Computer". Sometimes it reads "Communication Error. Unable to communicate with device. Check Cables and connection settings. If the problem persists, try restarting your computer and the HP device.". Which I have, and as I say, it will print wirelessly. Sometimes the "Scan Settings and "Scan to Computer" icon are absent altogether. Sometimes, I click on the icon for Scan to Computer and HP Utilites "unexpectedly" shuts down altogether. I've scoured the HP site, discussion groups, Google, etc, for nearly 8 hours. When I try to go through "Image capture" in Applications, it tells me that there is "No camera or scanner connected". When I try to go through HP Scan in Device Utilites in Applications, the message reads "Scanner communication cannot be established. HP Photosmart series is currently unavailable. Ensure your device is powered on, check the connection, and ensure your network is functioning properly. If theses conditions are correct, restart the device and try scanning again." All of these have been checked, but nothing seems to work. Why won't it scan to the iMac? Can it be fixed or should I just give up and return it?

I have an HP Photosmart 5520 all in one printer and a MacBook Pro. Bought the MacBook Pro in Jan 2013 and the printer in Dec 2012. I was able to print to the wireless printer up until June 2013. In September, when I tried to use them together, I could not print. During the period between June and Sept., my laptop software was updated. I have tried to update the HP software on my laptop, but could not. What can I do to use this printer with my MacBook Pro? Please help!

The MacBook Pro is running at least 10.7.

Can't Scan to Photosmart 5520 on OSX 10.10

I am trying to scan from my HP Photosmart 5520 to my Mac which is running OS X 10.10.1 (Yosemite). I used to be able to scan just fine but now that I've upgraded to Yosemite it no longer works. I can print just fine but scanning doesn't work at all. I can't scan from the Printer utility (System Preferences | Printers & Scanners | Scan). I can't scan using the HP Scan utility (I receive an error saying HP Scan can't communicate with my device). And I also can't scan using the scan to printer option. In fact, I can't even enable the scan to printer option in the HP Utility because I get a message that the software isn't installed despite having just downloaded today the most recent HP software for this device and installing it and ensuring the HP Scan option was selected during installation.
This is incredibly frustrating. I'm hoping someone can help me resolve this.
Thanks
Shane

Why the copier function of Photosmart 5520 just can copy A4 size paper?

I just bought a Photosmart 5520. It works great and have no problem doing photo printing, scanning and wireless printing. However, when I use the copier function. I found that I always missed part of the copied sheet. After checking the setting I found that it has a paper size setting of 8.5x11 inches (Letter) while the sheet size I'm using is a A4 size paper. Going into the setting and checking whether I can change the paper setting to A4, I found that there are just 3 size to choose - 8.5x11 inches (letter), 4x6 inches, and 5x 7 inches. How can this be? Why isn't there A4 size (which is also a very common size) to choose from while I have no problem selecting A4 with print funciton or scaning A4?

A4 size paper only. There is no prompt for adjusting the paper size. BTW, there is no problem printing A4 size document.

HP Photosmart 5520 Wireless Setup Wizard Hangs, USB fails to install

Hello,
I bought a HP Photosmart 5520 4 weeks ago. I installed it and setup a wireless connection. It worked for 1 week without flaws.
After a holiday my HP PS5520 printer lost its wireless connection to the network. I restarted the printer, still no wireless connection. all other devices like iPhones work OK on the wireless network. Tried to run the Wireless Setup Wizard again but the routine hangs (the spinner stops) when searching for routers and no networks are displayed, it hangs. Only a powercord detach can/will hard-restart the printer. After starting the printer, the printer complains that I should us the power butten, but that does not work when it hangs at the wireless setup wizard.
I tried this routine several times, but the printer hangs every time when searching for routers... Tried manual, reset factory defaults, reset network defaults etc... Wireless is simply impossible to use since it can not be setup.
So I tried to use the USB port directly attached to my PC. Since the wireless driver was installed, I connected the printer to the PC with USB but then it was marked as a unrecognised device by Windows 7. I tried to add the HP driver manually but when selecting the CD (inf), Windows tells me that the service stoppen (-10)...
So I installed the software from the CD which pointed me to the online version of the software which I installed. After selecting the USB radiobutton, it tells me to connect the HP PS 5520 which I did, but the HP install window failes to detect that the printer is plugged into the USB port and the printer is installed by Windows as an unknown device.
I uninstalled the 'unknown device' and tried again, wthout luck. Tried another USB port, Windows installed it again as an unknown device and the HP software failes to pick it up. So after googling I deleted all HP software from my computer (Intel I7 - 8 GB), uninstalled the unknown USB device from windows, rebooted several times, deleted all HP folders and cleaned all temp-folders (I am an IT professional!).
So, I installed the software again but when the HPO software asks me to attach the USB cable, Windows again installed the 5520 as an unbknown device and the HP software again failes to see that the printer is attached to the PC.
Tomorrow I will buy a new printer but since this HP 5520 is only 4 weeks old, I really want to knwo how I can fix
1 The issue that the HP printer hangs when searching for routers / wireless networks
2 Windows/HP software to find the HP 5520 through USB
I guess nobody will have an answer since Google does not give any help. This post is merely to expose my frustration that HP makes fine printers but failes to deliver issue-free software... I always have issues when setting up HP printers somehow...
Of coarse I hope that somebody has a clue..... Good night!

I have had my 5520 for a couple of years, when intermittently it has dropped off the wireless network, and I have had to reinstall the network. Now it does it every time I switch it on - it has lost the network and password. This is very irritating...
