Photosmart printer 5514/need darker print

Replaced all cartridges of ink and the printer is not printing shipping labels dark enough. The printer does print off of Facebook perfectly. The printer printed labels fine before I changed cartridges.

  • Photosmart printer will not connect to network, unable to set IP Address Manually

    My Photosmart printer has worked fine for a long time but it now refuses to connect to the network.  It is wired into the router and I have changed the lead and this shows no chnage.  The Printer network set-up shows an IP address of 0.0.0.0 in manual mode and if I reset this and press OK it immediately reverts to 0.0.0.0.  I've also tried putting the printer into Automatic IP address but it still fails.  Subnet Mask and Default Gateway also show as 0.0.0.0.  I can reset the Subnet Mask and Gateway to the correct levels but as soon as I go back to set the IP address they revert to 0.0.0.0.  The printer will work from a USB connection but it will then not share correctly.   Is it possible to reboot the onboard program?

    Oh, an ISP-supplied router.  Uggh.
    OK, remove the phone (DSL) cord from the back of the router.  Cycle power on the router, then attach the printer with the phone cord disconnected.
    Now, Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
    - Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
    - Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
    - Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). You can find the DHCP range of the router using its internal settings page or in its manual. Use the CD that came with your router or type the router's IP address (ends in .1) into a browser.
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway and first DNS. Leave the second one blank.
    - Click 'Apply'.
    Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
    After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

  • I purchased a 7510 e photosmart printer this past August

    can anyone help me as I am ready to scream with the service I am recieving with my new 7510 e photosmart printer, the first one I purchased from Staples in August on the 24th of this year but I had problems with it not recognising the photo tray, I called HP after a week of trying to get it to work but they blew me off so I tried to fix it myself for another 10 day's without any luck, by this time the 14 day return policy had run out at the store so I called HP again and this time they did try to help but could not get it to work so they sent out a refurbished one.
    At first it worked great but now I cannot efax, I did reregister the second printer and got a new printer e.mail address. Cloud services pass me onto HP and HP passes me back to cloud services.
    It prints, scans and prints off great pictures but I cannot fax with it, I only use the free  efax service as I only need to fax once or twice a year and this was one of the reasons I bought this printer, but everyone keeps passing the buck on this issue.
    To complicate matters I am not alway's at the address where the printer in question is, right now I am at my second home using a photosmart plus B209a-m printer that I purchased in 2010 so I can only phone them when I am in my other home where the printer is. I use windows 7 home edition , IE 9 and Norton Internet Security 2013, but that is not blocking me as I disabled it just to test it out, the printer is wireless but my desktop is not.
    If anyone can help with this I would appreciate it as I am sick of HP and cloud services passing the buck.

    I would like to assist but I need some more information.  Can you log into your eFax account? If not do you get an error message trying to log in?  

  • What are the PROXY SETTINGS (port) for HP Photosmart printer 7520 ???

    CANNOT   FIND  THE  CORRECT  PORT  ( proxy  setting )  for  my
    HP  7520  Photosmart  PRINTER???

    Hi torino71,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you would like to know which proxy settings to set for your HP Photosmart 7520. I was able to find a great thread from a fellow Community member windrunner123, see below:
    In some network setup, proxy settings may need to be configured on the printer to enable connection to the Internet.
    1. Make sure the printer is on a network and must have an IP address assigned by a Network Router or a DHCP server. Alternatively, you may also configure the printer to use a static IP address.  Check and retrieve the IP address of the printer from the Home Screen menu selection: Network -> View Network Summary -> View Wired (or View Wireless)  or Setup -> Network > View Network Summary (depending on printer model)
    2. In a web browser on your computer, type the IP address or hostname that has been assigned to your printer.
    3. Go to the Network Tab > Proxy Settings and enter the proxy settings into the fields and click Apply button.  You may have to check with your ISP or IT Administrator for the correct Proxy Setting.
    As well as the port settings below you will want your router company to make sure that multicasting is enabled, bonjour protocol needs to be enabled, make sure that mac filtering is disabled, and have them check if there are any firmware updates for the router, and check firewalls on the router to make sure not blocking the communication
    The following ports are also used by your HP device and might need to be opened on your firewall configuration
    Incoming ports (UDP) are destination ports on the computer while outgoing ports (TCP) are destination ports on the HP device:
    Incoming (UDP) ports
    137, 138, 161, 427
    Outgoing (TCP) ports
    137, 139, 427, 9100, 9220, 9500
    The ports are used for the following functions:
    Printing
    UDP ports 427, 137 161
    TCP port 9100
    Photo card upload
    UDP ports 137 138 427
    TCP 139
    Scanning
    UDP port 427
    TCP 9220, 9500
    Faxing
    UDP port 427
    TCP port 9220
    HP Device Installation
    UDP port 427
    Web Services
    80, 443, 5222 and 5223
    I hope this helps! If you have any more questions please let me know.

  • How to connect to hp Photosmart printer

    HOw do I connect  my hp Photosmart printer to print from my iiPad

    First make sure its in the list of supported printers here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    Once you confirm its supported. You'll need to set the Printer up to connect to your Wifi Network. Follow the Printer's manual to do so.
    Once that is done go to an App that can print such as Notes, or Mail, and click on the Send icon. (The rectangle) with the arrow coming out of it to one side, or simply the Arrow twisting to one side).
    Select Print , and then click on Select Printer, the iPad will attempt to find the Printer on your wireless network, if it recognizes it, you'll then be able to click the Print button to immediately Print. No setup is really necessary.

  • I cannot connect my new HP Photosmart printer to the Internet

    I just bought an HOP Photosmart printer D110 series. I can print from my Outlook Express and Word documents, but I cannot print from the Internet. What do I need to do to print from the Internet. I tried doing START, Control Panel, Printers and Faxes, but there is no option to set the printer as a default printer.

    I have faced the similar issue as my macbook cannot detect my home wifi, whereas it can detect my neighbour's.
    Here is the steps i did to fix, hope it will help to you guys.
    1. Go to system preferences, network
    2. Keeping your wifi off, set the location as Automatic
    3. Go to advanced and remove all the preferred networks and click ok and save the changes.
    4. Restart the modem and give a try. If it connects then fine. But if doesnt connect then follow the next steps.
    5. Open the factory ipaddress of the modem in a browser, Mostly it will be in the back of modem. (For eg it will be 192.168.1.1).
    6. After authenticating, go to wireless option, choose the wireless mode & Channel mode as auto
    7. Click ok and save the modem configurations.
    8. Restart the modem and try to switch back the wifi in macbook to on.

  • PhotoSmart printer 7520 has life of it's own

    My PhotoSmart printer 7520 makes noises and sounds like it is completing some printing or action command very frequently at night when we aren't using it.  What is it doing and why?  It makes the exact sounds as when we are printing.  It is wireless.
    This is a new computer(install less than a month) and the smaller black ink cartridge is already empty. It ony gets casual usage by 2 people, and we don't print in color.  How can switch the printer to only use the large black cartridge?

    Hi,
    On your printer, press the wrench on the screen and choose preferences.  You can scroll down and choose a couple of things.  I've set ours to go into Energy Saving mode at 5 minutes and have the Printer Effects volume set to soft.  We don't hear any printer activity at night.
    To print in Black only, click on start and choose Devices and Printers.  Right click on your printer and choose Printing Preferences.  Choose the "Color" tab, and select "Print in Grayscale", choose Apply, choose Ok.
    This should force the printer to use the black only cartridge.  When printing in color again, you would need to go back into Printing Preferences to take the check out of grayscale.

  • Free efax on 7520e photosmart printer

    cannot get my 7520e photosmart printer to connect wireless, purchased it last year but was told they were working on a fix, after the fix it would not work at all, again phoned and was told the download fix made things worse and they were working on a patch to download.
    Have not been back to my other home in almost a year so no idea if it is working or not, it would print ok but only via a USB cable.
    Have the apps and free Efax been taken away from that aswell as I have a 7510e photosmart printer here but cannot send faxes even though my eFax number and address shows on the front of my printer
    and in eprint settings.This one is connected wireless shared between a windows 7 64 bit desktop and a windows 8.1 64 bit desktop, both desktops are wired but to a wireless router.

    Hi emma22,
    I would like to assist in any way I can in an attempt to get the 7520 connected to your Wireless. Did I read correctly and you are not with that printer at this time?
    Regarding the eFax and apps for the 7520, they are still active. However, the eFax is not free on the 7520, compatible with eFax and you will need to subscribe with eFax.
    If you are not with the printer, will  you be soon? Let me know the connection error, router brand, etc and I will see if I can help.

  • HP Photosmart Printer 6520 has a white screen and won't go away?

    My HP photosmart printer had been working fine until I turned it on today and it showed a blue screen with a power off/on symbol and quickly flashed to a blank white screen and hansn't changed since.  I've unplugged it and plugged it in several times and it still does the same thing. I even left it unplugged for a while and plugged it back in and it still did the same thing? How do I fix this problem?

  • Hp 7525 Photosmart printer won't scan to my PC but will scan to other PCs on the LAN

    Hp 7525 Photosmart printer won't scan to my PC but will scan to other PCs on the LAN.  I tried to install the printer software but it says it is already installed.  Do I have a security setting wrong?
    Other PC names show up on the printer's touch screen but not mine.  We are all on the same wireless subnet with the printer at a fixed IP address.
    I can print from my PC and scan from my PC but I can't scan from the printer touchscreen to my PC.

    Hi,
    You may have to start from your computer first:
        Double click printer icon on desktop,
        Select Manage Scan to Computer
        Click Enable -
        Restart your printer to see, is your machine in the list ?

  • Photosmart printer -all-in-one 5520 and windows 8.1 - INSTALLATION ERROR

    I have a photosmart printer - model: all-in-one 5520; code number HPC57CC4  and my operating system is windows 8.1.
    I had problems with the scan function and so I decided to disinstal the printer (from the Control Panel) and I even cancelled  the HP folders.
    Then I tried to reinstal the printer with the original CD but I got the message: INSTALLATION ERROR - DRIVER PACKAGE INSTALL GIVES THE ERROR -536870329 FOR THE PACKAGE  C:\Program Files\HP\HP Photosmart 5520 series\DriverStore\Pipeline\hpvpl09.inf   (that's the translation from Italian)
    I have tried endless times to install with the online software from the HP assistance (hppsdr.exe, hppiw.exe, ps5520_1315-1.exe, hpscan and doctor) but I always get the above error message, the system recognizes my printer, but gives the error message few seconds after starting installing it.
    If i use the printer from other PCs it's ok, I've also tried both in the wireless modality and with the USB cable but the result is the same: no installation!
    thanks in advance fot your help.

  • How do I print a 4"x5" invitation on my HP Photosmart printer?

    I have an HP Photosmart printer and have changed the printer settings to the custom size of the paper but it still prints my doc in the middle of the 8" paper width. It should be printing on the right side of the printer where rnvelopes and smaller sheets of paper can be trayed for the printer.  I have tried to adjust every setting I know about in the printer settings.  What next? My computer runs Windows 7.
    This question was solved.

    Nevermind.  I found more settings to select the proper size paper under printer 'properties', then selected 'features'... success.
