Photosmart 6525- auto select tray

How do i get my photosmart 6525 printer to auto select the correct tray (main or photo) without having to go into preferences and manually switch it? I print on 4 x 6 for photos and then use regular 8 x 10 paper to print word documents. Going into the settings to switch trays each time is frustrating. Anyone have a solution?

Hello jtj360 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you would like to have the printer switch the print setting automatically.
This, unfortunately, is not an option. You will have to change the print setting manually.
Thanks for your time.

P2035 not auto selecting tray

For one of my users (P2035 / Windows 8) we are encountering the following new problems.
Under printing preferences:
Size: letter
Source: Auto Select
Type: Plain Paper
In multiple programs ( WordPerfect & Printing from Chrome browser )
If there is paper in tray 2 AND paper in tray 1 (the bypass tray) it will print from tray 2.
Previously it would detect that there is paper in tray 1 and print from tray 1. This is what I think of as “auto select”
If I load paper in tray 1 and remove tray 2 from the machine it will print from tray 1.
In our postage program (Stamps.com) we had it set to “auto select” for the source, but now it pulls plain paper from tray 2 even if there is an envelope in tray 1. I set it to “tray 1" and got the same results.
So I set the source to “manual feed from tray 1". And then it prompts to load paper and press the “go” button on the printer. Since the envelope is already in tray 1, I press the go button and it prints fine.
I have tried uninstalling the printer and reinstalling it from the original disk and I have tried the PLC5 driver without success.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks
More info:
This morning I swapped the printer that is giving me the problems (P2035) with another printer (P2015). The P2015 works fine, however the P2035 is still giving me the exact same issues at the new desk, I was not expecting that, and it makes me think it might be a hardware or firmware issue.
If it would never pick up from the bypass tray I would think that the switch that indicates paper in the bypass tray was defective, but with tray 2 removed it sees the paper in the bypass tray just fine.
Any thoughts?
Is there anyway to re-install or update the firmware?
Thanks

If the other network will not work with your mobile devices, you can remover that network or networks from your settings and then the iPad will not join them at all - unless you manually select them and join them again on your own.
Settings>WiFi>Tap on the blue arrow next to the name of the network that you want to remove. In the next window, tap on "Forget This Network". That will remove the unwanted network from the iPad and it will only join the mobile network that is listed in the settings - if that is the only network listed for the school.
I assume that this is would be OK with the IT folks if they dont want you to use the other networks, but what bothers me is why they would have set your iPad put so that you could use that network in the first place.

8600 Premium won't auto-select tray based on page size

I just bought the 8600 Premium yesterday, and am absolutely flabbergasted to find that this printer, which is TOUTED for its full capability of handling legal-sized paper can't pick different sizes of paper from Tray 1 and Tray 2 in the same print job!!! The printer recognizes Tray 2. In fact, if I remove Tray 1, it prints from Tray 2 just fine. However, I print a lot of .pdf files with a mixture of letter- and legal-sized pages. I have used other printers where I can select "Choose paper source by PDF page size," and it will print the whole job, pulling letter-sized pages from Tray 1 and legal from Tray 2. Why MAKE the 8600 Premium with two trays if it CAN'T pull paper from both trays, based on size settings, during the same job?!!

Seriously? --That is your "solution?!"
Sure, if I needed a $1,000 printer only, I guess I could do that. But I don't. I need an inexpensive, truly functional dual-tray all-in-one. I thought the HP8600 Premium was it. Guess not.

PDF auto select paper tray based on paper size

* this was originally posted here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2586377&tstart=0 but I was informed I was in the wron g forum.
I have a Windows pc only for 1 thing - printing pdfs. My problem is that Windows printer drivers allow me to have auto select paper size/tray depending on if the pdf page is standard or legal. I have not yet found anyway to do this through the mac.
I have a Brother HD-5370 laser printer and need some assistance with the paper auto select. If any one has any suggestions or an actual fix, I am all eras.
I have used Snow Leopard, Leopard as well as 10.4 and the problem is with any pdf viewer I have tried (viewer, adobe reader, other 3rd party which names escape me). The option to auto select printing by pdf page size is selected and the drawers are set correctly. It just won't print how it's supposed to.
any sugegstions,
Dan

This has been an issue for at least 3 years now. I have checked for driver sin the past and have tried to look up answers via Brothers website - all to no solution to my problem. It just may be that Brother's printers do not have this feature. The options do show as valid options though.
The printer is currently connected to a Windows pc located on a different floor. So in order to test, I have to move the printer or the mac.

Auto select paper

HP photosmart 7525 windows XP
Cannot make the printer auto select the paper draw it pulls from. Will only pull from whichever paper size is in the printer configuration. All my other printers if you select 8.5 X 11 it will pull from that tray or if you say print photo paper it pulls from that tray.

Hello vencowings
The printer preferences need to be set so that the printer knows what paper type and size you are printing too.

HP Photosmart 6525 won't scan to computer (wireless) anymore

My HP Photosmart 6525 no longer scans to my PC via wireless (it used to work just fine).
I can still print via wireless just fine, so I know the two are still 'talking'.
When I use the menu on the printer to Scan to Computer I get the a message asking me to make sure I'm connected, have software installed, etc. and to make sure 'scan to computer' is enabled.
In the tray on my PC, there is only an icon that opens a 'Scan to Computer' dialog box telling me 'scan to computer is currently unavailable' and to check connections but doesn't give me any other option other than to 'disable.'
When I disable and re-enable it doesn't give me any new information but still displays the same 'scan to computer is currently unavailable' message.
None of the HP program folders lead me to any controls that seem to diagnose or fix this problem.
What else can I do? Like I said this used to work fine until recently. Yes I did restart everything.

I have the same problem on an Officejet 4632. I recently updated software on the printer. I can print but not scan due to connectivity issue. Need help.
Thanks

Can mac auto select pages for print by size

Hello, does anyone knows if there is a way how to set up on Mac auto selecting for printing pages by size? I need it to print loan documents for my notary public business. Using HP laser dual tray printer.

Hello Shane,
I am notary public and I would recieve file with documents that need to be printed on both legal and letter size paper. I used Adobe Acrobat from my husband's Windows computer which sorts the documents by paper size and then print's them out on correct size paper.
The printer I have is HP Laserjet 400 M401n.
Thank you for your help

Auto Select Printing

I recently got a Brother printer that has 2 trays, legal and letter size. I am having trouble with my printing options. When I go to print, under size options there is no option of 'Auto Select'. I will be having documents sent to me that open via adobe reader with a mixture of letter and legal sizes. How do I fix this? I have a 2008 MacBook Pro OS X.

Ok i've figured it out.
I used safari to connect to the servers built in cups print manager. ( http://localhost:631 ) Under administrations there is an option to 'share cups printers" after enabling this. any printer i'm sharing by IPP & LPD shows up as a bonjour shared printer. This works great! clients can select the printer, and it automatically populates with the built in print software.

HP PhotoSmart 6525 Switching Back-and-Forth between Wireless and USB

Hi,
I setup my HP PhotoSmart 6525 using the "Wireless with a router" setup instructions (i.e. not Wireless Direct). I am able to print from my laptop through the wireless network. I would also like to be able to print from my laptop using the USB connection at times when my laptop is physically sitting next to the printer. At times when it is not, I want to continue to be able to print wirelessly.
Is it possible to setup the print drivers on the laptop so that I can easily switch back-and-forth between USB printing and wireless network printing? I suspect that it may not be possible because the user guide has a section describing how to "Change from a USB connection to a wireless network" that has you click on a menu item called "Convert a USB connected printer to wireless". There are no instructions for how to convert back to USB. Moreover, the use of the word "convert" does not make it sound like you can maintain both print methods simultaneously on a single computer.
Does anyone know whether it can be done, and if so how?
Thanks in advance,
Paul2
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hey Paul2,
I see you have the HP Photosmart 6525 installed for Wireless printing capacity and would also like to add a USB driver so that it is available for use when near the printer. Please follow the steps below to add a copy of the printer for USB printing. The below steps are for Windows 7 and below based computers. If you have Windows 8, then the steps will be slightly different so let me know. Please let me know if you have a Mac, because I can provide those steps at that time.
Press the Start menu of the computer
Select All Programs
Open the HP Folder
Open the folder for the HP Photosmart 6520 series
Select "Printer Setup and Software"
Select the option to Add a new printer
Select the USB option
Plug the USB cable in when the software requests it and proceed through the install process
This will leave the Wireless driver support in place and add a second printer under the Devices and Printers window for USB printing. The USB printer may contain Copy 1 in the name as a differentiation, however the other one should also state Network in the printer name to indicate it is the wireless option.
I hope this helps,
Jason

Photosmart 6525 Autoconnection after Windows 8 machine awakes from sleep mode

I received a Photosmart 6525 printer a month ago and love it. I initially had it connected to an HP Touchsmart computer and had no issues with it. I moved the printer to a new HP Omni 27 running Windows 8 this week (as well as upgrading my router to an Asus RT-N66R). The printer is not currently attached to the Omni 27 via USB as the wireless set up tested fine and I printed various documents without issue. The computer and printer are on a power strip and arranged such that when the computer goes to sleep or is shut down, it powers down other items, one of which is the printer. When the printer was used with the Touchsmart computer (also connected wirelessly), it automatically reconnected itself to the wireless network when the Touchsmart came out of sleep mode. I'm finding with the Omni 27, however, that when it comes out of sleep mode the printer's wireless connection light flashes and I have to manually enter the passphrase on the printer in order for it to reconnect to the network. It does connect once I enter the passphrase. I've tried reinstalling the printer a couple of times but it doesn't seemed to have corrected the issue. I guess one alternative may be to move the power cord to a dedicated outlet that never powers down. I'm not sure if anyone else has encountered this issue but would appreciate any thoughts.

I always recommend a direct connection to a wall outlet. That should resolve the issue. You can also turn off "Auto Off" from the front panel-->setup-->preferences.

Photosmart 6525 Internet Not Connected about 3 minutes after turning on

I bought a Photosmart 6525 on 11/20/2012 and have been trying ever since to get it to work wirelessly. There are hundreds of posts in HP forums about this problem, as well as in Windows 7 and Netgear forums. I've tried everything I could find in all of the forums but I can't fix this problem. This printer definitely needs a firmware update to fix it! The printer always loses its internet connection about 3 minutes after turning the power on. My workaround is a USB connection to my Laptop and selecting the Wireless Direct Connection on my iPad for AirPrint. AirPrint only works from my iPad over my normal Wi-Fi network during the first few minutes after the printer is turned on. After that, it will only work over the Wireless Direct Connection and I have to turn off the printer's 802.11 wireless OFF or the iPad can't find an AirPrint printer. That's because the printer status is "Internet Not Connected" to the 802.11 network. But that status doesn't show on the printer's display...you have to print out a Network Configuration to see that the printer has lost the internet connection. My workaround gets me by for now but the situation is certainly not satisfactory. I don't have a wireless printer that works wirelessly even though I just bought one. Also, iPad printing is klutzy since I can't just print from the iPad as I should be able to over my normal Home Wi-Fi network. Instead I have to select the Network Name for the Wireless Direct Connection, then print and then go back to my Home Wi-Fi network. I have four other devices that connect to my Home Wi-Fi network without losing their internet connection and this printer should be able to do so as well! That's why I cannot believe it's a problem with Windows 7 or my Netgear router. I believe the problem is the firwmare in this printer (and probably all Photosmart 6520 series wireless printers). Mine has Firmware Revision PKM2CN1230AR.

Let's try this. Turn off all wireless security for a test. Connect with no security to see if it can stay connected.

Auto selection of file from folder during uploading??

Hi all friends,
Iam facing with one problem I am developing one uploading software for that i have used swing and servlet.Now my problem is i want to give auto selection of file from one folder means user just copy the files from any computer on network and paste it in predefind folder.And when they click on upload button it should start uploading of file one by one and after completion of uploading it move that file into another folder one by one.Now my software doing it perfectly but if user copy and paste any file in that predifined folder from network computer during uploading then they have to click upload button again after completion of first queue of files(for example if user first copy 10 files and start uploading and inbetween uploading of that 10 files if user copy another 10 files from network computer then they have to click on upload button again after completion of uploading of first 10 files).But my user requirement is they want to click on upload button once only at the time of starting my application and my application automatically select the file one by one from folder and send it to destination.Means if they copy the file from network machine inbetween uploading or any other user from network send file in that folder then my application should select those file automatically and start uploading means they don't want to click on upload button again.Can any one plz guide how I can slove this problem.Below r my codes:-
Upload.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
try {
suspendflag=true;
Resume.setEnabled(false);
Suspend.setEnabled(false);
dest=frame.m_txtURL.getText();
File ff=new File("d:\\DTMS\\Upload");
File[] files = ff.listFiles();
fileList = new Vector();
if(files == null)
textArea.append("There is no file");
return;
else
for (int j = 0 ; j< files.length ; j++)
fileList.add(files[j]);
java.util.Collections.sort(fileList, new FileComp());//sorting by size
new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run(){
for (int k = 0; k < fileList.size(); k++)//loop for queue {
File fname = (File)fileList.get(k);
String str=fname.getName();
log("Destination:" +" "+ dest);
log("Uploading Progress\nPlease Wait....");
result=doPost(fname,dest);//method for read file & send to servlet
String str2="Transfer apparently failed.";
String str3=result;
if(str2.equals(str3)){
Error(result);
else if(suspendflag==true){
File newfile =new File("d:\\DTMS\\Archives\\"+str);
fname.renameTo(newfile);
log("File" +" "+ str+" "+"Upload Completed !");
else if(suspendflag==false){
Error("** Transfer Suspended**");
}).start();
}catch(Exception exp)

HP Photosmart 6525 Printing issue

I was away for a family emergency for 7months went to print and nothing happend figured they dried out. Replaced all ink, Test print works on color but black is light color. When I go to print a document it is all blank including color & black.

The troubleshooting steps in the document here may help resolve black not printing on your Photosmart 6525 printer. If the steps there do not resolve the issue I would suggest you call HP Support as described in the post here, even if the printer is out of warranty.
