Photosmart 7520, eliminating toner cartridge skankware

I have a photosmart 7520 I am very disappointed with.
How do I prevent the perpetual pop ups advertising HP consumables?
I routinely get a sequence of 3 pop ups.
When I use the HP utility to attempt to control the HP alerts the application crashes "critical error occured. please restart application ..."
I will discard the printer but woudl like guidance for how to expunge the advertising daemon.

Hello twdeckard, and welcome to the HP Forums.
I see you are looking into printer pop-ups.  I would like to try and assist.
I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
I would also suggest running your Apple updates:  OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer Full Feature Software and Drivers.  Once you have launched the software, select which programs you want installed.
Please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

  • Photosmart 7520 - Non-HP Cartridge Message

    As of today, I have received 4,874 "Non-HP Cartridge(s)" messages from HP.  I consider this out and out harassment rather than reminders to use HP cartridges in the printer.  I am using Office Depot cartridges because the local Office Depot was out of HP 7520 cartridges when I needed them last September.  I tried the hard reset sequence suggested in an earlier post, but it did not work (I've received 12 messages from HP as I drafted this!).  If HP is trying to drive off customers, they are doing a fine job.  And at this point, on general principles, I can't envision buying genuine HP catrridges for the printer, or buying any other HP product in the future.  If anyone has any suggestions on how to make the messages stop (short of buying HP cartridges), please let me know.

    I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post serial numbers and case details.

  • PHOTOSMART 7520 PRINTER SETUP CARTRIDGE

    iI mistakenly trashed the 564 setup cartridge..printer will not function without this...is there a substitute cartridge that I can use???

    Had you done the initial setup of the printer?  If so you can use standard cartridges available at the store.  If the cartridges were misplaced before the printer was set up you will need to contact HP for replacement setup cartridges, these are not available in stores.  

  • HP Photosmart 5520 All toner cartridges showing empty or damaged & now Carridge Stall

    Howdy.
    As per the title, my 5520 is having some serious issues. It started a few days ago when I got the message that all 4 cartridges were empty, missing, or damaged. Tried reseating them a few times, cleaned off the contact point, all the things mentioned in the video with no luck.
    Today I am still having that problem, but now I am having an additional issue. The printer carridge seems to be stuck in the far right position. When you open the lid it tries to move right but jame. It tries this 3-4 times quickly then gives me the stall warning. If I try to move it manually to the left, I have the same resistance. All the ink cartridges are seated and locked correctly in their carriage, and there are no jams of any kind visible.
    Followed all the steps in the video with no luck, though there are no instructions for a carriage that is stuck to the far right.
    Additionally when I turn it off and back on using the power button on the front, it comes up with an error on start up saying that I improperly shut it down and should use the power button in the future... only thing is, that's what I did.
    Thanks for the time,

  • 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.

  • Streaky printing with new XL black cartridge (Photosmart 7520)

    I installed a new HP XL black cartridge in the Photosmart 7520 about 10 days ago.  Today the black and white text printing I mostly do started becoming unreadable - streaky, smudged, faint - even though the ink level report shows about 3/4 full for black (of course the report itself printed with streaks, etc.) I removed and re-inserted the black cartridge to make sure it was seated properly (it was and it is) and then I ran the clean cartridges function on the printer. The print quality report came back looking good (including alignment) except that the black area was streaky. After getting this print quality report, I tried printing text again. The first one page document printed somewhat streaky and with erratic faint areas; the second time I printed it, it was almost unreadable. Any suggestions?
    This question was solved.

    Repeated cleanings and then using the "align printer" function seemed to do the trick.

  • Photosmart 7520 Cartridge Problem

    Hello.I am having trouble installing replacement cartridges for the Photosmart 7520.  I place them in, locking them in place as I should and keep getting the error "One or more cartridges appear to be missing or damaged".  They are HP cartriges so that is not the problem.  I have taken them out, cleaned the sensors as it says in my troubleshooting guide.  Sometimes when I close the access door it will tell me another cartridge is not working too.  Any help would be appreciated.ThanksTK

    I despair of this problem.  My siimple HP3420 was a model of reliability. I bought the PhotoSmart 7520 in March 2013 and it has been a constant nightmare. I have wasted hours when I should be productive, removing and refitting cartridges, cleaning contacts, wiggling cartridges and surfing the 'net looking for a solution. If I breath near the cartridges they are prone to showing up as 'missing or damaged'. It makes no difference whether I use cripplingly expensive HP cartridges, HP refills or third party cartridges. There is clearly a MAJOR problem with this model and the manner in which it is constructed. Meanwhile my daughter's printer (which I won't name in deference to this being a HP forum) operates smoothly without any problems of this type. It also has a better design allowing straight through paper runs, which makes a big difference when she prints images on thick paper/card, while the HP invariably scuffs the leading edge. I doubt that I will ever buy a HP again after this. For what it is worth I usually get the printer to work again, but can never figure out what did the trick. As I write this magenta is not recognised, I have cleaned contacts, unpligged the cable, removed the print head cradle, and tried several genuine cartridges. On and Off the photo black comes up with the same message, and then it is okay again.  It could be any of them - this seems to be a problem across the machine, not specific to a single cartridge bay, which would suggest a local problem. Meanwhile the machine is totally useless as there is no workaround to allow me to carry on (say with black only printing. Simply dreadful. I greatly resent the time I have wasted over the last two years with this problem.

  • Printer cartridge for HP Photosmart 7520

    I bought a new HP Photosmart 7520. When changing the photo black inkt cartridge I used one of the catridges I bought some time ago for my former printer.  The cartridge is from the 364 series, the production date (?) stamped on the box reads IRELAND Oct 2010.  The printer does not accept the cartridge displaying an error message which (translated from Dutch) reads: Incompatible older generation cartridge installed.  Does this mean that I have to through away the 364 cartridges I still have left?

    Hello there, Welcome to the Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience
    I read your post about the message you are seeing when installing an ink cartridge you had purchased some time ago. I have located some information about the message you're seeing and I'de like to share that with you.
    I hope this helps clear up any confusion.

  • Photosmart 7520 ink cartridges

    Q1)  I have a 8 month old Photosmart 7520 with 5 ink cartridge slots.  Previously I have only needed to buy the large black 364XL ink cartridge.  Last week, as my colour had run out,  I bought the 364 4-pack, which to my surprise has a large black, small pink, blue and yellow cartridges  -  no small black.  Can I buy the small black separately?
    Q2)  I was also surprised that all 5  ran out simultaneously, whilst still showing a small amount on screen.  Are they designed to stop after so many copies, regardless of any ink left in any of the cartridges?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The small "black" cartridge is a photo cartridge, you can buy a 364 or 364xl photo cartridge separately.
    There is a priming process that uses some ink when a cartridge is replaced to remove air from the printheads.  If some cartridges are low on ink (but perhaps not completely depleted) changing a different cartridge may cause enough ink to be used to deplete the low cartridges.
    The document here has information on how ink is used in the printer, the Photosmart 7520 is an IIC printer in the terminology of that document.

  • Photosmart 7520 won't print black, says I have half a cartridge

    My printer won't print black (regular, not photo black).  The ink level says I have half a cartridge.  I have tried cleaning the heads so many times but no change.  I tried to find an answer in the help section of HP and had no luck.  I tried to contact HP but was told because my printer was out of warranty in January I would have to pay to talk to someone.  Can anyone help?  I'm  disappointed in HP, charging people to talk to customer service is ridiculous. 

    The steps in the document here may help resolve black not printing on your Photosmart 7520 printer.  Be sure to check the vents as shown in Solution Six.
    If the above does not resolve the issue then soaking the printhead as described in the post here may help.

  • Photosmart 7520 ink cartridge

    Not exactly an install question, but recently purchased Photosmart 7520.  In trying to replace the set up ink cartridges, the regular size cartridges I have purchased are too big and won't fit the ink tray.  This is not the XL size, just the regular size.  Where exactly am I supposed to get the proper ink size cartridge when the HP cartridges for this printer won't fit?

    I'm glad your problem is solved.
    Thank you for your feedback!

  • Photosmart 7520 not printing

    My Photosmart 7520 is printing blanks after just getting its ink changed and also printed its ink report right after perfectly fine. What is going on? I need help ASAP. I have a final due in two days!

    Hello @bambiklaire001,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I would like to assist you today with resolving the blank pages printing issue that you're experiencing on your HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer since replacing the ink cartridges. At this point this issue may be due to defective cartridges or a Printhead issue within your Photosmart printer. The Printhead is the mechanism that the cartridges fit into. It controls 'reading' the cartridges and putting ink on the page. If the Printhead is defective than the print system within your product is a defective and a replacement Printhead may be needed. With that being said, I am going to run you through some troubleshooting steps to see if we can get this printer functioning properly again for you. I am going to have you start troubleshooting by printing a Print Quality Report from your printer to verify if all cartridges are experiencing this printing issue or if the issue is being caused by one specific cartridge.
    How to print a Quality Report:
    Load plain white U.S. letter or A4 size paper in the input tray.
    On the printer control panel, touch the Settings icon ().
    Touch Tools, and then touch Print Quality Report. The printer prints the test page.
    If this report prints perfectly: than the printing issue that you're experiencing is not being caused by your printer. Rather, it would appear that something on your computer is causing the blank pages to print. If you're using a Windows computer can I please have you click here to download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor Tool. This Tool will run on your computer and 'fix printing' issues for you. Should any driver, software, or connection conflicts be found than the HP Print and Scan Doctor Tool will attempt to resolve those conflicts for you.
    If this report prints with quality issues, or missing colours/black: than the printing issue that you're experiencing is being caused by your printer. To resolve this issue can I please have you click here. Once the support document opens please run through Solution one, Solution three, and Solution six. This includes any sub-steps under the listed Solutions. 
    If your printer is failing to print one colour or black, please replace that cartridge. If the issue persists after replacing the cartridge than this it is most likely the Printhead causing the issue. If your printer is Out of Warranty you may want to check out the helpful post by @Bob_Headrick  Black Ink Not Working. The steps will walk you through manually soaking and cleaning the Printhead mechanism. Only run these steps if your printer is Out of Warranty as the troubleshooting steps will void your Printhead warranty.
    Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Best of luck!

  • Photosmart 7520 Horrible Print Quality

    I have purchased HP printers for years and have always considered them excellent and reliable products. About a year ago I purchased a Photosmart 7520. This has turned out to be the worst printer I have ever owned.The print quality is terrible and unreliable. The ink constantly streaks or doesn't flow properly. The ink cartridges last no time at all. I have constantly used the clean print head and align feature with only minimal and temporary improvement. I may have to throw this one in the trash and look at another brand.

    I have to agree with you.  The HP7520 is the worst HP printer I have ever owned.  It streaks constantly on regluar paper, none of my previous printers did this.
    I abandoned an old reliable printer for this printer just to get wi-fi network printing capability.  My old Brother MFC250 all in one printer was the first non-HP printer I had ever owned.  Previous to that I had several HP printers, and had worked supporting HP Corvallis' site in the 90's, so I am a fan of HP technology in general.
    This printer has the following shortcomings:
    1) Ink cartridges are engineered to look like they contain ink... but are constantly running dry.  I do not print as much now as I used to in the past.  (*SMALLEST INK LONGEVITY*)... If the cartridges could be made any smaller... HP Marketing would have done this IMHO.
    2) Print output is constantly streaking, requiring the printer be "tuned up" constantly
    3) Print cartridge installation/sanity check is buggy/fragile, in one case a $12 print cartridge for Photo Black I installed this week was "damaged".   I bought another cartridge, and it too was "damaged".  A power cycle of the printer yielded non problem... just a wasted purchase and time to run out and buy a replacement cartridge to replace a newly installed cartridge that had no problem.
    I *just* ran out of color ink, and I'm certain that this is indeed the worst HP printer I have ever owned.
    Having said all of this... it looks nice on my desktop and the chimes are nice... 
    What would help is a better "you are running low on ink" indication with this printer.   If I knew say, a week ahead of time that I'm running out of ink... that would be nice.
    This printer may need to be recycled once I can find a review of a better one.
    My wife has an old printer somewhere in storage, we may pull that one out and dust it off and plug it into the router to have wireless printing... <sigh>.
    Would *NOT* recommend this printer for purchase.... heading to Amazon to add that customer review.

  • Photosmart 7520 can't acquire IP address

    I have a new Photosmart 7520 and I'm unable to connect it wirelessly to the network.  It is unable to acquire an IP address. I've tried the wizard as well as the set-up option and neither work.  The MAC filter is disabled.  Not sure what to do.

    this printer has been a nightmare since I purchased it in January, I had the same problem, I struggled with it for a month before I gave in and phone HP support and they got it to connect but it took them 3 hours to do it, they promised an update
    would fix the issue, have you turned on your printer to update automatically?, I got the update and it instructed me to turn off the printer so the update could take effect which I did. Could not turn it back on again so left it overnight but next morning it was the same and I had to unplug it from the wall and plug it back in again to get it to turn on. When I turned it on again I had lost my internet connection again, struggling to get it to connect again and called cloud support who set up a crazy IP address , no working printer and hung up after sending me an e mail to instruct my ISP provider how to make changes.
    Called HP printer support and they got it printing again but I have lost web services, I can log in but it say's not connected to network so I have to call cloud services again. I have a 7510e photosmart printer aswell and never had all these problems.
    Call HP and get them to set it up for you, I went thru 2 full sets of XL size ink cartridges and a full stack of paper, pretty expensive with the price of ink. Good luck.
