Photosmart 7350 Photo Printing Problems

When I print a photo with my Photosmart 7350, it would stop printing after 2/3 of the photo was done. I uninstalled the printer, then reinstalled, and now the whole photo will print, but where it used to stop, the quality of the print drops significantly. It's always in the same spot, no matter the print quality selected.
I'm using Win XP, SP3 and a USB connection. I get no error messages of any kind.
Any suggestions?

Yes, I am having the same problem and also all of the other problems reported. One printer head has already been replaced and another is on its way. Not to mention the catridges (black) that I wasted in the process. When it prints, the quality is superb. It is just failing too often with less than six months of operation.

Photosmart B8550 - photo printing problems

Has anyone else had the problem of photo printing perfectly on all papers except HP Photo paper? I loose all my black tones when I print on the photo paper, but I bought Kodak paper and it worked.

Photosmart b210a photo printing has terrible colors

I just got my b210a and I'm using the cartridges that came with the printer and using HP advanced photopaper. I'm printing through Windows Live Photo Gallery application using the highest settings available. However the colors are off. They're dull and have a tint to them like a slight sepia tone or like they were taken with a camera in the 70s and left in a smokers house for 30 years. I will say that the thing prints pretty fast though. Anyway, is there a way to fix this? Maybe there's a better optional ICC profile I can use somewhere?

Addition to my previous post: In some other thread, it was discussed that glossy paper does not accept the pigmented black ink. I read that as that the pores in finish on the glossy paper cannot absorb the black ink.
What does that mean then? Well, it probably means that on glossy media, the Photosmart Plus does not print using black but only CMY. If you want to print in CMYK, you need to get a model that supports Photo Black, such as the Photosmart Premium. The B210 cannot produce good contrast photos because the combined density of the CMY inks just won't do. That's the problem, right there.
HP is welcome to prove me wrong. Then of course, they have to come up with another explanation as to why photos lack contrast when printed on the B210.
And it's not that the photos look faded that's the problem. It's that they clip where they saturate, and black would have come to the rescue. Photos printed on the B210 just look weird.
Lab quality photos my ass. What lab? The run down drugstore on skid row, with its 2 hour photo service and the permanent beer stain by the counter? That lab?
I wish they were clearer on this quality difference from the start. Want to print out photos to put in an album? Forget the Plus and get the Premium. Want to print photos to keep in your wallet? Then the Plus might suffice.
I tested printing on the Advanced Photo Paper set as regular paper, and it printed deep black because it used the black ink as well. However, as it's pigmented it doesn't get absorbed by the finish, instead it clogs the pores and stays on top of the finish. While it does dry, it does not fully stick and can be smudged away. It's not a solution, that's for sure.

HP Photosmart Premium: photos print wet and with grainy image.

Photos print wet and image looks almost like a posterization; the color seems okay, but the image has a grainy patterns of tiny dots all over it.

What printer model - there are several different Photosmart Premium models? What program are you printing from? Are you using photo paper designed for inkjet printing? What are the driver settings for print quality and media type?
Web images are typically 72ppi, while for printing 200ppi or more is typically needed to prevent grainy images. Make sure the source photo's are of reasonable resolution.
If you are printing from a program such as Photoshop that gives an option of RGB or CMYK printing be sure to select RGB. While the printer inks are CMYK the driver is expecting RGB (or sRGB) source data. Printing with CMYK selected will result in very oversaturated prints.

Can't install hp photosmart 7350 series printer on my hp laptop with windows 7 home premium

I am trying to install the HP Photosmart 7350 printer on my HP Laptop (serial number {Removed for privacy}; serial number{Removed for privacy}). The driver was not listed so I searched for a compatible printer. I found the Deskjet 5550 was compatible. I downloaded this driver then followed the directions for installing the alternate device. When I selected the Photosmart 7350, I was give the prompt that this device might be harmful to my hard drive. How can I install this printer safely? I do not have a disc with the printer. Do I need to get one or can you give me an alternative.

I also need a printer driver to connect an HP 7350 to a Windows 8.1 laptop.

HP Photosmart B109n-z (printing problem) please help

Hi all,
I have the HP Photosmart B109n-z printer and have it set up wirelessly and it works fine I've had no problems with it.
The other day the black ink stopped working - the cartridge isn't empty but it's no longer prinking black on any documents. I have since put all new cartridges in, it recognises them all, including the black one, and if I'm printing something like a word document then it moves as if printing but the page comes out blank - no black ink is used.
I work for myself and work from home so need to get this resolved asap.
I've checked the cartidge - it's good.
I've checked the connection and print cartridge bay - they're clean.
Please help.
The colour is working fine.
The black ink issue is the same whether printing, scanning, or copying.
And I have tried turning everything off and on again!!!
This question was solved.

Officejet 4315 Photo Printing Problem

Trying to print photo. Getting fax setup page instead. Help!

make sure you're selecting the correct printer icon. there is a problem with Photo Printing Wizard and Photo Gallery in Windows Vista, where when trying to print, it does not select the default printer icon, and sometimes selects the fax icon.
so double-check the FULL name of the printer icon before printing.

Hello hunkress7.
Please document the exact error pattern that is shown on the printer with the new cartridges installed. Count how many times the light flashes orange before it flashes green, or count how many times the lights alternate before the pattern repeats.

Photosmart HP C4480 printing problem! Help!!!

Hp C4480 prints directly from a memory card, but it doesn't print from PC.
It doesn't say that there is a problem, but it just pulls paper through, without any printing...
I don't have other colors than black, and I want to print grayscale photos, black&white text etc. but it just won't work :-(...
I have Windows XP installed...
What should I do?
Thanks in advance!

Printing from memory card is OK??
Maybe its a driver problem
Try this:
x:/util/ccc(x = the cd that came with the printer or your cd drive) under the ccc folder look for Uninstall_L1.bat and Uninstall_L2 double click on each of the file to uninstall the driver. and it might ask you to restart. After restart reload the cd and install the driver back..

Color LaserJet CM1015 mfp photo printing problem

I am running a Color LaserJet CM1015 mfp utilizing only HP print cartridges and HP Color Laser Photo Paper, glossy, yet I cannot seem to get a decent photo to print. There is always a black smear or two on the front of the printed page. It prints black and white and color just fine on plain paper but I cannot get a decent print on glossy. This has happened since day one so I don't think it's a dirty print roller,,etc. issue.
Thanks for any ideas!
Michael

Yes I solved the problem. I had to clean the registry of all information regarding this printer. During the installation I noticed interesting thing. The only installation that worked well was from the CD that came with the printer. I've tried downloaded latest version but it didn't install properly and have no idea why.

HP Photosmart Pro B9180 - print problem - color

The photo output is not the correct color. I tried cleaning and calibartaing but tere does not seem to be
magenta printing. the reoprt says the printhead is oK, but it is not printing correctly ?
Any ideas ?

Hard Reset – While printer is powered ON, pull
the power cord from the printer then from the
wall. After 30 seconds reconnect power to wall
and printer. This will trigger a ‘dirty power up’
and restore the printer to a known good
condition (if it is possible). No user settings are
lost with a ‘hard reset’.
This ‘Hard Reset’ is one of the most powerful
tools to use when the printer hardware is not
functioning properly!

C6280 Photo printing problems

Any time I want to print photos on HP photo paper they come out with alot of pink and yellow - grey clouds show up as pink and light green shows as yellow. It doesnt matter if I use the printer 'reprint photos' button or go through the print functions on the computer. This goes for photos I already have saved on the computer, just scanned into the computer using the C6280 or just using the printer functions without the computer.
If I print the very same photos on ordinary paper ie not photo paper, they turn out perfect. So it is not a scanning issue.
I have changed the printer settings to Best print, HP premium paper, and changed the RTL to what was suggested in the printers instructions - they still come out overdone with pink!
I am an avid scrapbooker so printing my own photos is a must! These same photos and photo paper worked well together on our previous HP (a 900cxi)
What setting am I missing?
This question was solved.

Hi,
I think there are 2 possibilities here. Both are equally likely.
1) One of the cartridges is close to empty. Maybe the Light Cyan. Printing the photos in normal plain paper mode may use different amount of ink from different cartridges so thsi coudl explain why the problem is not observed there
2) You're using media from yoiur old 990cxi that doesn;t work so well with the newer inks in your C6280.
C6280 uses HP Advanced or HP Everyday photopaper. http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/supplies_model.do?model_name=HP%20Photosmart%20C6280%20Al...
990cxi also can use these 2 paper types but if you had stockpiled soem premium or premium plus photo paper from this printer this might not work so well on teh C6280. http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/supplies_model.do?model_name=Deskjet%20990cxi

Hp photosmart A616 photo printer

I have a Photosmart A616 printer. I do not have it connected to the computer I print my photos from a SD card. Everything was working fine until I got a message that said unsupported media size Job was cancelled The other message was paper is to small. The paper is HP Q1988a-60019 pre glossy and is 4 x 6. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? I did try a kodak paper I had here and got the same message.

Hi beeje,
According to the Blinking Lights, guide the battery does come out, and it is optional to have one.
To remove the battery:
1. Unplug the printer power cord if it is plugged in.
2. Open the battery compartment cover and remove the battery.
CAUTION: Do not touch the contacts inside the printer or on the battery.
3. Wait 10 seconds, and then reinstall the battery.
4. Plug in the power cord, and then turn the printer on.
I would give that, a try and then if it still does not resolve your issue without the battery installed, try a hard reset. To do so please see this post, How to perform a Hard Reset.
After this, I would recommend to please call our technical support at 800-474-6836 for further options. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Country-language selector.
