Hi,
What is the exact paper type?
The printer specifications does not list Glossy Paper as a supported media, any supported media is listed under Paper-handling specifications > Supported photo paper:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c04085902&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5367608&tas...
What is the exact media type and weight, that may also help identifyig the issue, the exact paper type should be listed on its packaging...

HP x64 printer--won't take glossy photo paper

This printer will not take glossy photo paper--it simply grinds and message reads "Out of paper". It will print matte photo paper and regular paper, but not glossy photo. I bought HP glossy photo paper and that won't even work.

Printer won't grab paper

I have a HP deskjet 2050 all in one. I changed the ink and now the printer won't grab the paper. It will go down about 3 inches and stop. The printer acts like its really printing but nothing on paper . Is there some one here can help me.?? Thanks

The printer may have a hardware issue that has developed in the paper feed mechanism.

"print won't fit paper"

I attempted to print a photo from iPhoto and was met with this message in red: "The selected print size will not fit the current paper size". No matter what size paper I select,4X6, 8X10 or letter it doesn't change. Then if I proceed anyway the next thing that comes up is the wiggly rod with the "processing" banner under, overlaid with a block saying no subject has been selected.In Page Setup, reducing to 75% doesn't change anything. Odd, since I've printed from iPhoto before and never seen this problem.Is there a logical solution?

Printer won't grab paper correctly (after being shipped)

I moved recently, and shipped my HP DF340 Deskjet All-in-One parcel post to my new address. When I try to use it, it makes a loud noise, and the paper curls up on the right-hand side of the tray. In other words, whatever is preventing it from loading (grabbing) the paper correctly seems to be coming from the right-hand side.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

New c4680 photo smart all in one printer. won't pick up paper to pull into printer.

HP C4680 Photo Smart All in One Printer.
Just out of box. At point in set up to print "allignment" page, but printer won't pull paper in. Goes thru the motions, but
won't pick it up. Something not working right in paper feed mechanism. Any suggestions/solutions?

Hi there @dhengr!
Thanks for contacting the HP Forums!
I can see your having a print quality issue with your HP OfficeJet 6310. I should be able to provide documentation that will help locate a resolution. You mentioned you have already tried another HP95 tri-color cartridge with no resolution. I also noticed you said that the quality report from the printer also has no color ink.
If a stand alone test report is performed from the front of the printer such a printhead cleaning or print quality report and there is no color on the page then you are likely looking at a hardware issue within the printer. I have provided a document regarding Missing, Faded, or Dull Colors on the HP Officejet 6310 All-in-One Printer. If you follow the document from start to finish and still have the same issue then I would recommend contacting our HP tech support via phone. They deal with hardware warranty and replacement options.
Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html

Printer won't print after adding paper. I have an MX922

After filling the paper drawer and reinserting it, I continue to receive a message telling me the printer is out of paper.
Whats' up?

Hi pappyof4,
You will want to ensure that the paper size and type selected in the printer driver and program you are trying to print from matches the size and type of paper you are trying to print on to try and resolve the issue. You can also perform a roller cleaning on the unit to ensure that the paper path is clear for the paper to be fed. To perform the roller cleaning, please follow the steps located here.
Should you still experience difficulty, please call or email us using one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

Printing photos from my computer using hp 6520 printer won't pick up photo paper.

I have a new HP 6520. When I try to print photos from my computer, I get an error message that the paper tray is empty. It does not pick up the photo paper and print. Help!!!

1. My paper tray(s) are propertly loaded, I'm not a novice. 2. The bottom tray is LOADED properly. 3. The UPPER PHOTO TRAY is also loaded properly, shiny side down of course, properly filled and pushed forward as far as it can go. (It worked fine an hour ago when I printed a couple of photos). 4. Now no matter what I do, how I specify photo paper size, IT ONLY PRINTS OUT ON REGULAR PAPER FROM THE BOTTOM TRAY (8"X10") ordinary paper!! 5. When I UNLOAD the bottom tray, in an attempt to "fool" the device so that there's is NOTHING BUT photo paper, I get a prompt telling me I must load the paper before it will print the photo! Of course when I reload the bottom tray with the ordinary paper, it still prints out the photo FROM THE BOTTOM TRAY PAPER!! I'm wasting ink and paper and I'm not happy. I was on the phone for more than 2 hours two weeks' ago getting the first NEW printer set up and it was decided by all four techs I spoke to that I indeed needed to have a new device. 6. I received this replacement device just 4 days ago, another couple of hours speaking to India, finally worked ok, even unti earlier this evening but NOW it will NOT use photo paper from the upper tray. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THESE TROUBLESOME HP6520'S? I had a Photosmart 560 for years until it "died" a few weeks' ago and since then, this is my story with this product. You can check with India tech support to find my complete dealings with them vis-a-vis this product.
AND when I tried to sign up for this support 3 times I got refused telling me that the screen name I offered was already taken. Apparently the app was taking my information from when I may have signed up a couple of years' ago when I had an issue with my Photosmart 560.

HP 7510 AIO printer won't stay connected - Wired workstation, wireless printer

Hi! I spoke (and checked solution button) too soon. The printer still "disappears" from the Wired XP network workstation. The only difference since applying the solution given is that the disconnects are now happening about every 12 hours, vs every couple of hours.
Ink notification is set to "only when I print"
Static IP is set for all machines
HNDU works -- when the printer is visible but will hang the workstation if printer is not visible.
Original comments follow below;
HP 7510 wireless printer disappears -- 4 station XP wireless network, w/ 1 PC hardwired.
Options
04-12-2012 03:59 PM
Printer: HP 7510
Network: multi-station wireless, thru DLink DI-632 (one PC hardwired to router)
Address Config:   Printer is using static IP -- outside of DCHP range (192.168.15.240)
Printer Config: Each computer has static IP set into the control panel app, using IP addressing.
Operating System: XP (Service Pack 3)
Other devices: Ipad, Xoom and Kindle Fire (all working using ePrint)
Network Security Protocol: WEP (we're out in the country)
Network Setup: Main router, along with 2 access ports (hardwired); currently using channels 1, 5 and 11 (again, we're in the country and have little competition for channels)
File Sharing: All machines in network have one open "share" drive, accessable with passwork.
Scenario: Wireless computers appear to stay connected for several days to a week at a time. (We reboot weekly, just as a SOP)
Computer that is wired to the network loses communication with the printer a couple of times a day and needs to be rebooted in order to restore connection.
When this happens, other machines continue to print and scan, with no problems, and the wired machine continues to have its name displayed in the SCANNING panel on the printer -- but the printer won't talk to it.   All network functions, including internet and intranet access to the printer's EWS is still available. I have noticed that if I go into check ink levels, though, that the ink check software behaves differently.
Normally in the ink status app, there is a small "working" icon with 6 dots. When this computer is connected properly, it will start jumping around the circle, showing activitiy, get to 41%, and then display the ink status info. When the printer/computer connection is not working, the "working" icon will go to just a couple of percent then jump to the printer information page, showing make, model, serial number, firmware level etc.
In every instance so far, rebooting (with no other action) brings the printer/computer connection back to life -- until next time. I am trying to find any other pattern for this behavior, just can't identify it yet.
I started out with the plain vanilla installation, but then every computer in the network would consistently drop connections, about every 45 minutes. Using the info on this forum, I've eliminated the drop-outs for those printers, and got to the Static IP solutions (we've done that anyway for years with net-ready machines). This is the last machine that "drops off" It appears that some piece of HP-required software is "dropping out" or getting clobbered, but I cannot see a pattern, even checking and noting the various software used locally on the machine, and the various websites visited. So far, no pattern.
I am hoping that an HP guru with access to the source for the "ink supply" status software can take a look at what is happening and why it will always go to 41% and then display ink status (when connected) and then only go a couple of percent and display the ink status (when it isn't connected).
Thanks, in advance,
jim

More info:
In last paragraph, above, the request for "ink status" is returned with a static display of the printer firmware version, driver version, step level, MAC# etc of the printer, not "ink status" when the printer is disconnected.
Also, when printer is disconnected the HP home networking utility will hang the system -- a hard reboot is required, which restores the printer, until the next time it goes "into the woods". Signal stregth, measured on the printer, is 4 bars (very good).

Thanks! That appears to solve the problem. After your suggestion, I remembered that I set the "ink level warning" on this machine ONLY to "Always warn me", as opposed to "tell me only when I am printing". That seemed to be the problem. Only the computer that was set to "always warn on low ink-levels" was disconnecting -- the others worked fine! Now, all are working fine.
Just to be safe, though, I've also turned off the "scan from printer to computer" function on each computer. That was set for each machine, and seemed to work fine. The other machines in the network did not disconnect, and the printer was tracked whether each computer was on or off.   May try to turn it on later; I'll see if the family uses that feature very often!
Thank you for your help.

I spoke too soon! After about 26 hours, the printer connection on the one "hard-wired" CPU dropped, which is better than before, but still not solid. Same exact symptoms as before. Only piece of the puzzle that was different this time is about 50 pages were scanned, some to this computer. Used the "Scan requested from CPU" process, rather than enabling the "Scan TO Cpu" function in the software app. It did not drop the connection immediately after -- about 1 hour to 1.5 hours afterwards. Suspect this is a coincidence, not a cause of the problem with this machine.
I also scanned (same approach) from one other CPU on the network -- that wifi connection is still rock-solid.

This question was solved.
View Solution.

I think it is fixed now.....the problem seems to reside in the module that will notify you immediately if ink is low (vs notify me only when printing). If, when initially installed, the user selects "immediately", then the printer will randomly disappear. (More on "re-finding it" later.)
Also, it is difficult to change the ink notification setting, because it appears not to be "sticky", but will sometimes, flip. (I've not figured this out yet). As long as the setting for "low ink notification" is on "only when printing", life is good.
If the printer does disappear, go over to the Advanced tab when the printer software/firmware page comes up, instead of the current ink levels. Reset the selection about "tell me about ink notification" to "only when printing", and then toggle the "autoshut off" from "NEVER" to "2 hours" and then, finally, back to "NEVER". Then, lastly, press closed on the panel. Printer should be connected again. To test, go to the Photosmart 7510 app again, and select "Show estimated ink levels". The counter will start at 1%, jump to 41% and then bounce around until it displays the ink level.
FOR HP TECH: Please consider making the "ink level notification" persistent in the registry OR provide a de-install tool that will completely clean all traces of the prior installation of the 7510 driver / app in the registry, so that a new install may have this setting saved correctly.
Hope this helps some of you -- it's an excellent printer once its running!

I'm trying to place an order for 3 iPhoto Albums, but the system won't take the billing address. I'm in Costa Rica and will send the albums to an address in Miami. Can't find any support live chat for billing issues.

I'm trying to place an order for 3 iPhoto Albums, but the system won't take the billing address. I'm in Costa Rica and will send the albums to an address in Miami. Can't find any support live chat for billing issues.

You need to use a credit card with a billing address in the same country as the delivery address. Since there's no Apple Print Store for Costa Rica I assume you're using the United States print store. Therefore you'll need a credit card with a billing address in the US.

New P1006 won't feed paper

My new P1006 laser printer won't feed the paper in....after a paper jam. I have followed the procedure in the on-line manual. Any ideas out there?

You could try cleaning the rubber rollers at the back of the printer by removing the rear access door and then cleaning it, as the black marks may just be ink deposited on teh rollers while feeding the paper. This will also help increase the rollers' grip in the paper and prevent any misfeeds that in turn result in a paper jam. I would definitely try this first.
