Photosmart D5160 won't print A7 envelopes

I am trying to print A7 envelopes and have created a custom paper size to match 5.25 x 7.25 since there are lots of other envelope options but not A7. I do not understand how the printer can print 5x7 photos but not an envelope to send them...anyway. When choosing my custom size and indicating it should pull from the main tray, it starts the print job and then goes to the photo tray to pull the paper. The photo tray does not accommodate anything larger than a 5 x 7 photo paper, at least mine does not....can you tell me how to work around this issue? My custom setting: Paper source: Main TrayPaper size: 5.25 x 7.25 (I even tried alternating to 7.25 x 5.25) Please help me, I am printing invitations and envelopes for my son's wedding and bought this printer specifically for the task never imagining I could not print a simple envelope.

Have you tried to disable the photo tray option in the Printer Properties?

My new hp photosmart 7525 won't print

my new hp photosmart 7525 won't print and says it is "offline". In addition, the tray app error keeps coming on. I uninstalled my old printer. I have Vista.

Hi @hannabanna
I would like to help you print to your 7525. Let's first address the tray app error, then we can focus on the printer offline message.
The tray app error seems to be stemming from the older software you have uninstalled, it appears something did not fully uninstall. Please complete the following steps.
Please note; I simply choose the printer I did for steps 3 because of the version of software, we will not be installing this printer, I only want to use it to perform a comprehensive uninstall.
Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box, type %temp%
Delete all files and folders from the temp folder. Choose skip if any pop ups appear saying any of the files could not be deleted
Download the software and choose to save as, save to desktop > HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One Printer
After the software downloads and extracts, open the temp folder again, use the instructions from step 1.
Look for, and open the folder starting with 7z (Example: 7zS2356)
Open folder Util
Open folder CCC
If you have an HP computer run the L3uninstall.exe. If you have anon-HP computer run the L4uninstall.exe
When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
Follow these steps to reset the registry settings and options for Windows Installer.
Hold down the Windows Logo key on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box
In the Open box, type msiexec /unregister, and then click OK.
Hold down the Windows Logo key on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box
In the Open box, type msiexec /regserver, and then click OK

My HP Photosmart 6520 won't print from my chromebook. It use to, but now it won't. Please help!

Hello,
Is your printer connected to a wireless network with Internet access?
Do other web services work on the printer? Meaning, can you use ePrint or the Printables on the front panel? (printables = apps on the printer like Disney, Menu Planner, Quick Forms, and so on.)

Photosmart C4580 won't print - push a button on printer it shuts down

The Photosmart C4580 has been reluctant lately to print anything at all. The documents sit in the spooler but won't print.
I've searched for this problem here and haven't seen same printer, same issue and solution, so here goes...
Dell Dimension 3000
Win XP Pro Service Pack 3
I've had this printer since February 2009. I've set it up on the USB port.
Three weeks ago I upgraded the memory from twin 256 module setup to twin 512 using Dell products. Obviously, I took the PC apart, cleaned the dust bunnies, installed the memory and everything worked great after rebooting - including the printer.
About two weeks ago a carriage jam error popped up. It wasn't jammed but I pulled the ink, reset them and restarted the printer. It worked fine - no noises, no jams, nothing.
Yesterday the printer quit printing at all. It said documents are printing but they just sat in the queue. I've done:
1. HP Solution Center guided solution
(when it asks to hit the Cancel Button and Start Copy Color buttons to print Self Test, the printer shuts down every time)
2. Windows troubleshooter
3. The HP Support solution online
4. Reinstalled printer using original CD
5. Reinstalled using the latest install software from HP online.
*After the latest reinstall, where the program asks you to print a test photo page, it did not print. HOWEVER, after I shut down and restarted the printer, that photo printed! But I can't print anything else since.
Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

Since upgrading to lion and updating HP software my printer (photosmart D5160) will not print to CD/DVD when I try it says my printer doesn't support CD printing. any help will be welcome

Since upgrading to lion and updating HP software my printer ( HP photosmart D5160 driver 3.3.0) will not print to CD/DVD,when I try it says "your printer does not support CD printing". any help will be welcome.

I see those are old posts above but I'm just now having the same problems. I have the original software CD that came with my Photosmart D5160 printer but I can't load it. I get the message "You can't open the application "HP Installer" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported". So I don't have that going for me, which is not nice! But I couldn't really care less about that if I can just find a CD labeler software that will print from my Mac to the D5160. I'd rather by new CD labeler software than a new printer. I've tried a few free CD labeler software downloads, including iWinSoft Label Maker, but nothing has worked so far. I think there's an answer somewhere; I'm able to print documents on regular paper using this printer, but I only bought it (many years ago) to print CD labels and some pictures. It's been used only sparingly and it's been in storage since I bought my Mac 3 years ago, mainly because a I got a free printer with my purchase. Any help is vertainly appreciated!!!

HP Photosmart 6510 won't print black ink

I changed the ink cartridge in my printer and it won't print black ink now.
I have used almost an entire cartridge of my color inks running alignments and cleaning the printhead. I have also cleaned the print head with a cotton swab and some warm water.
I have delted the software and reinstalled it.
I have always used HP cartridges.
The printer is out of warranty. I'm in the US.
I have also ran every reset I can find online, nothing is working.
I appreciate your help as I am a broke college student and can't really afford a new printer at the moment.
Thanks!

Hello @valster101 and welcome to the HP Forums!
One thing I see that hasn't been tried is checking the vents on the cartridges. Please have a look through this Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP Photosmart 6510 e-All-in...s document to make sure you have tried all of these steps at one point or another.
If it still won't print black after that, just let me know and I'll do my best to get you a resolution

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 5200 won't print black ink

Hi there, I purchased the printer just over a year ago. It hasn't been used much at all. For the last few months I have continuously changed the black ink cartridge as it is saying it is empty or low and it still won't print black. The colour functions fine. I have tried all the settings options of cleaning and aligning and it doesn't make any difference. I only print via air print from iPhone and iPad, and the documents sent are extremely basic word docs. The printer is in perfect condition and I am out of warranty. Please can you advise how to fix as I rely on the printer for my invoices! Thanks

Hello,
Since you have replaced Black ink cartridges and tried performing Clean Printhead and issue still exists, i'd suggest you to call HP Tech Support for further assistance.
If you are in US , the toll free # is 1-800-474-6836 .
If you are not in US , then log on to www.hp.com , at bottom-left corner there is a world map icon, click on it and then select the region you belong to, which would then provide support options for you for that region.
Regards,
Jabzi

Photosmart 6525. won't print documents

When I try to print a document from my iPad, it won't print. Message comes up to inser photo paper. There is no readout at all about printing a document or how to do it. I primarily use the 6525 to print documents from my email and am very frustrate, when I want to copy a document the question Gomes up as to whether it's a photo or document but the is nothing that I could find in settings or tools to allow me to specify documents, not photos.

Hi , Please make sure you have not missed any steps in the following document; Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP Deskjet Ink Advantage an... If you complete all of the steps in the document above and the issue continues, my own personal recommendation, not one of HPs, is to use the solution offered in the following video. I only suggest doing this if the printer is out of warranty; How to fix a HP Printer, not printing black ink and missing colours Although the printer might be out of warranty, if the issue persists, HP may be able to offer you something. Maybe they can offer you a discount on an alternate model. If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide. HP printers generally have a 1 year warranty from their purchase date, you can verify the warranty using the following link if you would like; warranty check. I hope this helps. If this resolves the issue, please let me know so we can help others who may be experiencing the same issue.
