Photosmart 7520 collating

I recentlly bought this to replace about 10 year old HP printer - This new very expensive printer apparently wont COLLATE copies or print back to front?  something my 20+ year old Canon or my old HP could do?  I have been all over settings and can't find anything to help with this....Seriously?  if I need 10 copies of a 6 page document, i have to sort them all myself, or stand at document feeder ad print ONE AT A TIME?  Help if possible, otherwise, I may relagate this Very expensive brand new printer - Literally - to the trash heap - cause I don't want to put anyone else through this

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
I am sorry you are having issues with your new Photosmart 7520 printer.
Ideas:
If you are using the Automatic Feeder, be sure to load the document print side up.
Assuming you have already installed the Full Feature Software for the printer and you are using a recent version of the Windows Operating System, the following might be  useful:
Reference:
Install Full Feature Software – Photosmart 7520
HP Photosmart 7520 Series – User Guide
Chapter 5, Page 20
There a couple of places you can check to make sure the collation feature is being used as expected:
Printing Preferences
Within the Application that you are using to print the document
Paper Size and Media Type are selected in Printing Preferences:
Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers > Right-Click your Printer >
Printing Preferences > tab Paper / Quality >>
Select Paper Source > Main Tray OR Photo Tray **
Select Paper Size > as desired / required for the print job **
Select Media > as desired / required for the print job **
NEXT
tab Layout >>
Select Orientation > Portrait OR Landscape
Select Print on Both Sides > None OR Flip on Long Side OR Flip on Short Side **2
Select Page Order > Front to Back OR Back to Front
OK
**   As available by Model
**2 Requires Duplex capability

  • I have an HP PHOTOSMART 7520 e-ALL-IN-ONE SERIES printer purchased approx. 5 months ago.

    Where can I get instructions as to how to use my printer for photos.  There is a small tray and I have inserted the oorrect paper.  I attempted to print a photo on a letter size sheet - and I indicated the size - it came out only as half a photo.  So I tried to print it using the small sheets and it printed it small but on one of my regular letter size sheets.  And the colour is coming out orange . . . HELP . . . I need instructions.  Thank you!

    Hey maryjane41,
    I see you are looking for information about printing photos with your Photosmart 7520.  Please see the document linked below on loading special media types in this printer.

  • HP Photosmart 7520 scan to email not working / working only once in a while

    I have read through all of the answers that I can find as to how to fix the scan to email function on my printer.  The printer is only a couple of months old.  I am using a Mac.  I need this to work.  The problem is that while I always receive the emails, they don't always have the scan attached to them.  Sometimes, but not always.
    When I scan one page, it works.  When I scan 10 pages, it works about half the time.  When I scan 25 pages, as I sometimes do, it doesnt' work.
    HP, please fix this !  It worked just fine a couple of weeks ago!
    Machta

    Hi Machta,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I see that your scan to email feature of your Photosmart 7520 seems to be inconsistent when attaching the scanned documents to the email.
    Please start by assigning a manual IP address and manual DNS servers to your printer.  If you are unsure how to do this please click here.  It will take you to another post I’ve done that has the steps with screen shots.  Don’t fret that the screen shots are for a Photosmart  7510 printer, the steps are the same.
    If you have already set the manual IP address and manual DNS servers, then please call HP’s Cloud Services at 1-855-785-2777 if you live in the USA/Canada region. If you live outside the USA/Canada region please click here to find the Technical Support number for your country/region.

  • Photosmart 7520 on wireless network no longer recognized by laptop

    The printer was fully functional on my wireless network, accessible by phone, tablet & laptop. Now it is not recognized by the laptop but still usable by other devices through the wireless network. The laptop is Windows 7 professional. The laptop and printer are both on the same (only) wireless network. I uninstalled the printer and driver from the laptop, temporarily disabled Norton Antivirus, then tried to install a new driver but installation failed. I repeated the entire process again, with the same results. What else should I try? 

    Hi @SaMi4,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that your HP Photosmart 7520 that is on a wireless network, is no longer recognized by your laptop. I am sorry to hear about this, but I am happy to help!
    I would recommend this printing guide, 'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Does Not Print: Windows 7.
    You would also benefit from this guide, Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. As this will help you maintain the connection.
    Hope this helps, and have a wonderful day!

  • Installing HP Photosmart 7520 all in one printer software

    My new HP Photosmart 7520 will not install on my Dell PC.  I have the 32-bit Windows Vista OS.  When installation begins I immediately get the error message: "Key not valid for use in specified state".  I've tried installing the CD and the software from HP on-line, all several different ways.  I 've used the troubleshooting download from HP but both methods do not solve the installation problem.  I've temporarily disabled the firewall.  I've done disk clean-up and defragmenting.  I've restarted the PC more than a dozen times during my efforts.  Even Microsoft Windows can't install all the software from updates - only the fax portion.  If I can get past the point where the error message occurs I think the software will install.
    I hesitate to try the Geek Squad.  My experience with them is that most of the geeks aren't competent and it's a crap shoot getting assigned one that is.  They will be my last resort.
    Has anyone had this problem?  Does anyone have a solution?

    Hey @jimlg ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're unable to install the printer drivers for your Photosmart 7520 printer.
    The error you have listed is a Windows error and not attributed to the printer software. You can confirm this with the fact the error occurs when trying to install from Windows update bypassing our installer.
    You may want to try following the suggestion in this thread made by @Gemini02 which seems to help resolve the issue for some users experiencing the same problem: Re: key not valid for use in specified state.
    Let me know if that helps.

  • Can't scan to PDF file on HP Photosmart 7520 printer

    I have two HP Photosmart 7520 printers  - one in my home and one at summer home.  On one when I scan I get the option of document or photo and PDF or jpeg.  On the other printer, I am not given any options and it automatically scans into a jpeg file.  How can I get the PDF format option to work on printer number 2?

    Hi @healthdesigner,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that you cannot scan to PDF on your HP Photosmart 7520 printer. I am happy to help you with your scanning!
    For further assistance, I will need some additional information:
    If the printer is connected, Wireless, Ethernet, or USB.
    If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
    If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well. 
    If the printer is able to make copies.

  • How do I get the "non HP Ink Cartridge" pop up to go away??? HP Photosmart 7520

    After my trial ink ran out on the HP Photosmart 7520 I installed a non-hp ink cartridge.  It prints fine but EVERY SINGLE TIME I print anything I get a pop up saying I have a non-hp cartridge installed and the quality cannot be guaranteed.  It then gives me the option to shop HP online, cancel the print, or click ok to close it.  EVERY SINGLE TIME.  I print a lot of pages and this is extremely annoying.  There is no "do not show this message in the future" option.  How can I make this stop popping up????

    OK, you're receiving this error because of the non HP cartridge you've installed. This message can be bypassed by selecting OK; it will not go away until you install HP ink. Until then you should be able to print.

  • How to print on photo paper with HP Photosmart 7520 on iphoto '11

    Dear All,
    I have a very serious problem. I've tried so many settings and configurations without success.
    Very simple. I cannot choose the photo tray in any way and I cannot print on photo paper.
    I get everything on A4 format.
    The printer is working fine wih other software (e.g. HP studio).
    I can't believe I'm the only one.
    Please help!
    tks ;-)

    Hi,
    I came across such issues using AirPrint from Mac OS.. probably an Airprint bug.
    Go to Print & Scan and click the plus sign.
    From the extended add a printer dialog select the Photosmart 7520.
    Open the Use drop-down and select the HP Photosmart 7520 from teh list (Instead the default AirPrint option)
    Additionally from the iPhoto print dialog click Print, the OS print dialog will appear.
    Set the Paper Source as Photo Tray under the Paper Type/Quality menu.

  • Hp Photosmart 7520 e-all-in-o​ne-series (wireless)

    Welcome to the HP Forum.
    The following applies to Windows OS.
    Know that a recent Update for this printer (mid-August 2014) has resolved some disconnection issues.  If you have not done so for a while, please consider reinstalling the Full Feature Software for your printer.
    Try / Consider:
    Full Feature Software:
    Install Full Feature Software – Photosmart 7520
    Go to  your printer panel:
    Click the ePrint button (top left button) and check for Updates.
    If your printer needs the Updates, it will search them out and download them.
    ==================================================​=========================
    If the issue is only one of the jobs being stuck in the printer queue on the computer, then the following might help:
    The direct approach:
    Open a Windows Explorer (called File Explorer in Windows 8.x)
    Navigate to folder: C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS **
    Delete any files you find in the PRINTERS folder
    ** When you try to click into the PRINTERS folder, you may see a warning message about permission, Click through and / or enter the Administrator level password to gain access to the folder
    One method to restart the spooler:
    Control Panel > icon view > Administrative Tools > Services >
    Click on Name to sort the column alphabetically  (optional) >
    Scroll down and look for Print spooler > Highlight / Left-Click Print Spooler >
    Click Restart the service

  • HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-O​ne Printer when trying to photocopy says incorrect paper size

    HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer - WHEN i AM TRYING TO MAKE A COPY COPY OF AN A4 DOCUMENT WITH A4 PAPER INSTALLED.  iT KEEPS PUTTING THROUGH A BLANK SHEET AND SAYING INCORRECT PAPER SIZE.   HELP!!
    I HAVE CHECKED FOR UPDATED SOFTWARE ETC, CLEANED THE GLASS, TURNED OFF AND ON ETC - NO LUCK.
    Why is it such a major task just to photocopy one standard piece of A4 paper with just a letter contained no photos etc or anything too tasking.
    Any help much appreciated

    Hey there @SMFTEDDY ,
    I saw your thread and messages and wanted to add to it. I have checked the Copy Menu on the printer itself (below), and it does not contain the option to copy in A4 size. You might just have to use the work around scanning method recommended above to get to use the A4 size you wish to use with the Photosmart 7520.
    Good luck

  • How to install driver for HP photosmart 7520 on MacOSX 10.5.8???

    My husband does basic printing of documents.  His computer is a MAC OSX 10.5.8.   We have a new HP Photosmart 7520 printer which requires 10.6 minimum. 
    Is it possible to get a driver for this printer for him, that will allow him to access the printer, without getting a new computer!!  ??  To simply be able to print and fax and scan.. he rarely does photos. 
    Please Help, as of course, he is quite frustrated, and as a result, so am I!!
    Thanks.

    Hi grammaglenys,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you having trouble installing drivers with your printer. It is true that this printer only supports Mac OS X 10.6 as the minimum requirement for the HP Photosmart 7520.
    As the Operating System is older than when the printer came out, there currently isn't a driver available. However, here is a list of printers that can be used with Mac OS X 10.5.8. Archived - Mac OS X 10.5.3: Printer drivers included in the HP Printer Driver Update v1.1.1. Or you can try upgrading the Operating System to Mac OS X 10.6.
    Hope this answers your question, and have a great day!

  • Printer Driver for HP Photosmart 7520 for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and 10.3 and 10.5

    I just purchased a new HP Photosmart 7520 printer.  One of my Macs at home is an iMac G5 that is running Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.  It connects to the HP printer via Wi-Fi.  HP does not provide drivers for Mac OS 10.4 for the Photosmart 7520 printer.  I tried all sorts of old HP drivers and finally found one that worked, so I figured I would post here to help out anyone else who is trying to solve the same problem.  The driver download you need is the OS 10.4 driver for the Photosmart C7250 All-In-One printer.  Here is the link to the download page:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-55650-2 &cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=219&product=3382185&sw_lang=
    After downloading and installing the drivers, I ran the HP Printer Setup Utility.  It was not able to detect my printer.  I had to go to System Preferences on my Mac and add the printer manually in the Print & Fax control panel.  The Print & Fax control panel was not able to auto-select the correct driver to use, so I selected "HP" from the "Print Using" drop-down list, and then selected "HP Photosmart D7400 Series" from the "Model" list.  That worked for me.  Good luck!
    According to the driver download page, this driver will work for Mac OS X v10.3.9, v10.4 and v10.5

    Thank you very much, I just bought this printer without paying attention to the compatibility of my Imac. Thanks to you, I just install it without too much difficulty. Thank you again.
    Merci beaucoup, je viens d'acheter cette imprimante sans faire attention à la compatibilité de mon Imac. Grace à vous, je viens de l'installer sans trop de difficulté. Encore merci.
