Photosmart 6510 6x4 borderless has half inch strip

Printer is Photosmart 6520 AIO with nework, wifi,usb connections and everything else under the sun
Workstation #1 imac intel core 2 duo 4 gb 2.4 ghz OS x 10.9.1
Problem: when printing 6x4 borderless prints, there is a white stripe down the right side in portrait mode or across the top in landscape mode.
Can this be fixed? If so, How can I fix it or get it fixed

Hi Sulcata7,
I can certainly help you with this. There are a couple of possibilities. Can you try changing the print page size from 6x4 to 4x6, I know that seems to be the same thing but reversing the order can effect the orientation. Next, be sure to use 4x6 and not 4x6 tabbed as a print settings. If you do not have tabbed paper but select tabbed in the print setting you will see a line that you wouldn't see if the paper were actually tabbed paper. The document below might be helpful.

Please let me know if the issue persists, I will be glad to do some additional research. Please include the program you are printing from, and whether or not you are attempting to print borderless, thanks.

HP Photosmart 6510 B211a Not Functioning Correctly After Power Outage

Hi Guys,
I'm new to this forum but I'm hoping someone can help me.
I have an all-in-one HP Photosmart 6510 B211a that has been working like a dream since I got it last Winter. We had an unforeseen power outage yesterday however and once the power came back, the printer insists that there is no ink in the system. I fear the worst and think its brain may be somewhat scrambled.
I replaced two of the ink cartridges just last week with genuine HP ones and everything was fine. My ink levels are nearly low on the other two but I have not replaced these yet as there is no need.
Once the power came back, the printer informed me that the magenta ink was 'missing or damaged'. I removed the cartridge, cleaned it with distilled water and dried it. Once replaced, the printer changed its mind and told me all ink cartridges are now 'missing or damaged'. When I opended the printer again, the ink carriage did not automatically move as normal to allow me to change or remove the cartridges.
Furthermore the touchscreen on the printer will not allow me to exit this error message or perform any other function such as head cleaning. I have tried a soft reset and a hard reset but this has proved fruitless.
Is it knackered? Should I toss it and head to the shops again?
Thanks for reading this,
Brendo

Hi Rich,
I replaced the magenta cartridge yesterday and my printer is working successfully again! Woohoo!
My dad's an electrician so between us we've come to the conclusion that when the power came back on after the outage there was either an electrical spike or insufficient voltage than normal and this damaged the nearest ink chip to the power supply - the magenta cartridge.
All is well again anyhow.
Thanks for your help - I appreciate it

My PDF has a half inch white border on the left when I open it in firefox

My PDF has a half inch white border on the left, as though the margins were inset by a half inch. But when I open up the PDF in Adobe Reader or Safari, it displays with borders as I need them.
For instance, the cover page, which is green, has a half inch border on the left.

Firefox might be reserving space for the sidebar that shows the page selection.

Photosmart 6510 not printing photo in colour

I have a Mac OS X 10.8.4 and I am new to it. I have a photosmart 6510 wireless printer, and I am trying to print off a colour photo. Each time I print, the printer goes through the motions of printing and it sounds as though, it is printing - quite slowly, which is the norm for photo's. However, when the machine has finished, the photo paper is completely blank, can any one tell me what I am doing wrong? have checked my ink levels and each cartridge is almost half full. Thanks for any help you can give me

I am having the same problem... I have a Mac OS X 10.7.5 and a photosmart 6510 printer, and I am trying to print a color photo on 4x6 photo paper -- I have done this before with no problem from various applications. But now, each time I print, the printer goes through the motions of printing and it sounds as though it is printing, but when it's finished, the photo paper has come out completely blank. The ink levels are each over half full. I would really appreciate an answer - I have used all manner of troubleshooting using the standard HP Photosmart printing guidelines and nothing has worked.

Photosmart 6510 e-ALL-IN-ONE Series offline

I can't get my 6510 all in one to go back on-line. I have windows 7 on my hp laptop and use my android phone as my wireless connection - this has worked perfectly for the past two years. I ran a wireless network test and the printer indicates PASS on connected. I've shut my printer off and turned back on. I did scan some pictures last weekend so I'm wondering if that has changed something. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Williamstw
I understand you are unable to get the Photosmart 6510 back on line.
I have provided a document for the printer being offline to take a look at.
Hope this helps.

Windows 7 startup error after uninstall of Photosmart 6510

After uninstalling Photosmart 6510 and software, get error message: "There was a problem starting C:\Program Files\HP\HP Photosmart 6510 series\bin\HPStatusBL.dll" when Windows 7 starts up.

Sounds like the software was not completely removed (or atleast Windows still is looking for something). Microsoft make a tool that should be able to help, it is called FixIt. Click the link below for more details:

Photosmart 6510 not printing black

I'm having issues with my Photosmart 6510 All-in-one. It won't print black ink. The ink level says it has ink in the cartridge. I've tried running the clean printhead and Align printer apps to no avail. I replaced the cartridge. Still nothing.
What gives?

Hello VideoBandit,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I have done some research and I suggest we try this document that deals with when the Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages.
Please feel free to write me back if you are still having issues or if you have any additional questions.

Bottom one half inch is cut off.

When I try to print the bottom half inch is cut off. This happens when I copy from the printer as well. The Print and Scan Doctor does nothing. Can someone help?

Hi,
Please note: your HP Deskjet 2540 does NOT support borderless (no border) printing therefore you have to allow for blank spaces (borders) in your designs.
Regards.

IPhoto suddenly not printing four 6x4 borderless prints on A4

Hi! iPhoto 11 has suddenly stopped printing four 6x4 borderless prints on one sheet of A4. If I set the print size to 3x5 I can see all four prints on the A4 preview but when I change print size to 4x6 only two prints appear on the preview, in the middle with alot of white around them. I have tried changing the paper size and print size, borders and the settings from the little cog wheel symbol etc.. I am either missing something or there has been a change that now prevents me doing this. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions. Thanks

Yes - do the math
A4
297 x 210 mm
11.7 x 8.3 in
Four 4x6" images are going to be 8x12" (plus some border) or 6x16" (plus some borders) - it is not possible to fit 12" of image on 11.7 inches of paper - and never has been - nothing has changed - the laws of physics still apply exactly as they always have

How do I fix an error message of "failed to open a session on this devices" for my HP photosmart 6510 scanner?

how do I fix an error message of "failed to open a session on this devices" for my HP photosmart 6510 scanner?

Hello Kwastfamily,
It sounds like you are unable to print from your computer to your printer. I would run through the troubleshooting steps in this article:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

My HP Photosmart 6510 won't print black ink

Tried to add a response to the existing link for this issue, but couldn't find a way to do that. Maybe I'm just blind. Nonetheless, here are my answers to the information that has been requested:
1. Which model HP printer you have. = 6510
2. Whether you have followed the steps in the Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink document for your printer and whether the steps worked or not (just Google that document title along with the name of your printer to locate the right document). = Yes, tried them. No, they didn't work.
3. What country you reside in. = USA
4. Whether the printer is in or out of warranty. = Yes, it is.
Seems like this is a fairly significant issue in the market. I hope a countermeasure is being developed.
Thanks for your help.

Is HP Photosmart 6510 compatible with Windows 8?

Will windows 8 have drivers for Photosmart 6510 printer?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Windows 8 RTM has already printer support for the Photosmart 6510 included without your CD.
Step 1: on the Start screen, you know with all the Tiles, click Windows key+ C, to open the side bar;
The side bar opens with Search
Step 2: enter "printer" in the search field (without quotes); you will see that there are 17 hits under Settings
Step 3: click now on Settings, you will see 17 tiles appear on the screen
Step 4: Turn on your printer that you have already conected to your router; since you migrate now from W7
Step 5: Select Advaced printer setup
Note: You may receive a warning from Windows about Network sharing, Turn Network sharing On.
If you want to verifiy: double click the Network icon bottom right on the task bar, the green sidebar opens, right-click network, Then click Turn network sharing On or Off, follow the instructions
Step 6: a window opens that shows your network printer is on 192.168.xx.xx
Step 7: follow the onscreen instructions.
All in all, it is so easy, but difficult to find, that Microsoft may have included it in the W8 setup routine. Or at least some hints. Enjoy printing! -Eric

Photosmart 6510 printer

How do I print from my iPad2 on the 6510 printer

There will be color ink used during printing to keep the nozzles clear. Color ink is also used for graphics unless you have selected "black ink only". If you print with photo media color ink will be used exclusively, the black ink is not compatible with photo paper. Color and black inks are also used if you ever tell the printer to perform a cleaning cycle (seldom needed).
The document here has information on how ink is used, the Photosmart 6510 is an IIC printer in the terminology of that page.

Two-sided printing problem with a Photosmart 6510

I have a new Photosmart 6510 and it is supposed to come with automatic two-sided printing.
I have tried printing two-sided and followed the advice of many previous thread but it has not worked.
I am using a Mac OS X version 10.5.8 and Microsoft Word 2008.
When I go to the drop-down menu in the Print window and go to 'two-sided printing' the option to print both sides is greyed out, and it says that the paper type and size settings do not support two-sided printing. What size paper should I select and where can I do this?
Any help would be great.
Thank-you
This question was solved.

Hi,
Please try the following settings:
1.From the application used to print, click the File menu, then select Print. The Print window appears.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Click the blue triangle next to the printer name to see all available settings.
2. To select the binding type click the lowest selection box listed as Copies & Pages.
3. Select Layout from the drop-down menu.
4. Set the Two-Sided option as Long-Edge binding.
If I'm not wrong, the duplexer support only A4 and Letter sizes
You may save the settings for future use by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset...
Please let me know if you were able to successfully perform two-sided printing.
