Printing on 4x6 photot paper HP photosmart 6520

printer will not pick up the 4x6 paper in top tray

Hi there, apologies for the delay in responding. Do the photos print to the main tray or does the printer do nothing when you try and print from the photo tray? This support document contains step by step instructions for printing photos from your computer to the 6520 http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03382414&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=e...

Unable to print borderless 4x6 photos with the Photosmart 7510 printer.

I am unable to print borderless 4x6 photos with the Photosmart 7510 printer. There are no option listed for any size borderless printing when i choose the paper size and paper type. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
This question was solved.

I found it. Once you hit print, click on the options link. It opens a separate window. In that window there are two links, one says color management and the other says printer properties, click printer properties. That opens a new window, in that window click the advanced button. That opens a new window titled HP 7510 Advanced options, under the printer feature section near the bottom you will see "Borderless Printing". Left click on that and to the right a drop down menu opens, select borderless, hit ok. After you do this, it will print borderless however you will still NOT see that option when you print, like you used to with the older HP printers. I couldn't find it in the help section, I just stumbled upon it, very frustrating! It will print borderless.

Aperture won't print from photo tray on HP Photosmart 6520

I've just started having a problem printing 4x6 photos with Aperture. When I print a borderless 4x6 glossy using the photo tray on my Photosmart it works fine. When I say to print a 4x6 borderless using the photo tray with photo premium paper it prints from the main tray rather than the photo tray. Plus now it's giving me a picture with borders, even though I specified borderless. Anyone have this problem?

Sorry, I do not know anything about your Printer. Have you looked, if there is an update for your printer driver, before you start reinstalling Aperture? If yes, upgrade your printer driver first. Also check, if you are having the same problem when printing from a different user account. Maybe some settings in your user accunt or startup items are interfering. You could also check, if printing from iPhoto or Photoshop has the same problem (but don't waste expensive photo paper on these tests ).
What is the Aperture version you are using?
Let me ask this: is there a problem deleting Aperture and reinstalling it? Will I lose anything? Thanks.
Your images are stored in the Aperture library/libraries, and your settings in your user library. This should not be affected by reinstalling Aperture. But do not reinstall, without ensuring that your backup is current.
How to reinstall will depend on the Aperture version you are using. This support article describes the procedure - ignore the title of the document - it is written to help with a nasty bug.

Unable to print from my iPad to HP Photosmart 6520

I recently purchased this Photosmart 6520 printer so that I can print from my iPad. I do not have a laptop that works in order to install the software that is included. The salesperson who sold this printer to me said that I didn't need a computer in order to have this printer work w/ my iPad.
I've connected the printer to my wireless network, I've received the printer's e-mail address and enabled e-print. On my printer it says that e-print is connected and On.
I've downloaded the eprint app on my IPad and connected it to my printer. It recognizes my printer but when it goes to print it says "oops! we could not complete the job. please try again. " "there was a problem during printing. please check your printer try again"
I'm getting all my jobs in the queue but none of them will print. and when I go to my email or try to print a document from my ipad w/o using the HP e-print app its telling me that there are no airprinters found.
Please help me. this is the 3rd printer i've bought trying to get it to print w/ my iPad and i'm not having any luck! what's wrong? I'm not getting any errors on my printer.
I also did a wireless network test on my printer and it says no problems found. I'm confused why isn't my iPad recognizing this airprinter?? and why can't I print. All the print jobs say failed.

Hi,
iOS Uses Bonjour services to communicate with the printer through the network, those relies on Multicasting.
Some routers shipped with Multicasting disabled by default and some does not support those protocols at all.
Please try printing using Wireless Direct and check for any difference, if the feature works without using the router that indicates the issue as router related and will allow us to better understand how to go further,
To set up a direct connection using Wireless Direct follow the steps below and try pritnign from your iPad:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03351623&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5169041&tmp...
Please let me know if the feature works while bypassing your router or not, as well be sure to clarify your router brand and model.

I have an I pad, hooked to a wireless printer , I need to print my bank statements. I know you have to snapshot it first, but it is printing on 4x6 photo paper is all. I need it to print on regular 8x10 paper so it will print the whole page and

How can I print off my I pad for bank statements on reg paper not 4x6 photo paper?

How nice of you to wait three whole minutes for an answer.
I don't know what you mean by "I have to snapshot it first". Can you explain what you mean? If you're making a screenshot and printing from your photo application, you're going about things in a very odd way. You should be using the Share - Print icon from whatever app (Safari?) your bank statement is in.

Photosmart c4780 is only printing half way when I print on 4x6 photo paper.

I've having problems on my HP Photosmart C4780. When I load a 4x6 inch photo paper it pulls the paper in, starts printing, pushed the paper out, but has only printed half of my photo.
It looks as if it starts printing before it reaches the paper becasue the back has ink lines on it and when comparing it with what prints, to what should print, the photo looks like it starts printing at the middle and is right up against the leading edge of the photo paper.
There are no error messages at all.
I'm using windows 7
the printer is connected via wireless
I have no other problems printing 81/2X11 or from any programs.
Any help would be great.

Hi Trying to print from Galaxy Note to HP Photosmart 6520 printer.

When I send a file by e-mail to my printers e-mail address it works allright but when trying to print from the app when I have selected a file, text or picture, and then uses the app to print it I allways get this error message after a while:
Oops! We could not complete the print job. Please try again.
In the HP ePrintcenter's print history list the job appear as "Failed" or "Aboorted".
And of course nothing comes out of the printer.
Does anyone know a solution?

HP PhotoSmart 6520, Printer offline, Wireless printing from Windows 8.1 and others

My parents own an HP PhotoSmart 6520. They have 3 or 4 computers. 1 Is connected to this printer via USB cable. 3 Are "connected" over wireless. The printer has the latest firmware updates according to checks from the printer front display.
Problem is this:
1) When first starting the printer, and the printer gets on the wifi network, all wifi-available devices can print to it over wifi. We are also able to browse to the printer config web pages to see status, and change configs as needed.
2) After about 5 minutes of printer inactivity, all wireless clients can't print to the printer to print, and can't connect to the printer's web page. (The printer appears to be offline to each OS that uses WiFi to get Internet access.
3) If we visit the printer control screen, physically attached to the pinter, find the network configuration, and choose to "turn off" wifi at the printer, then after off, "turn on" wifi and see an IP address get assigned, then all WiFi machines can print to the printer over WiFi. However, after 5 minutes, again, the printer is offline. No matter what or how much each WiFi-based machine sends to their printer queue/spool, the printer remains offline.
4) If the USB-connected machine prints to the printer over USB, the printer once again becomes available over the wireless network.
The work-around is terrible. (Cycle WiFi access every time they need to print from Wireless devices.)
Things we have tried:
1) This is running the latest firmware according to the WebService section request to check for upgrades. They are on the latest according to the results. (no help)
2) DHCP was the initial config for network settings. I moved to a DHCP server configuration with static IP served by printer MAC address. (No help)
3) I switched to totally static IP address, thinking it might be a DHCP lease-time/renewal issue, or custom vendor string issues or bug. (no help)
4) Enabled/Disabled IPv6 even though they are on a NAT-ed network with only IPv4 support. (no help)
5) Visited printer config with web broswer, and change energy saver setting from "5 minutes" to "15 minutes" because the ~5 minute window seemed like an approximate time limit. (No help)
6) Enable/Disable other settings through the web and restart the printer. (No help.)
7) Suggestions listed here: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Photosmart-6520-e-All-in-One-Printer-series/5169038/model/516... (No help)
In testing this, with static IP or not, from other machines, when we can print over WiFi to the printer, the IPv4 address is ping-able from peers on the network. After ~5 minutes pass, and the pinter goes "offline" there are no ping replies to the static or other IP address assigned to this printer. By all accounts, when the printer is "offline" it really is no longer on the WiFi network. Meanwhile, oter devices can ping each other. (All computers, smartphones, tablets, etc can all respond to ping.)
None of the other devices suffer from dropped access to the WiFi and Internet.
Suggestions?
I do not have access to this right now, but I can walk my parents through whatever steps are needed to resolve this.
Thanks!
P.S. Other things tried:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/If-your-printer-drops-off-your-network/...
1) When online, generating report, reports online
2) When offline, report reports that it is still associated with access point
3) Printer is about 2 feet away from the access point it is communicating with and has max-bars showing signal strength.
4) Channel allocation for WiFi was selected based on least used channel, and works very well for all other devices on this channel.
5) There is only one accesspoint with the name it associates with.
6) The only options for power-saving "auto-off" we see via web pages from printer are: 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 15 minutes, and changing to 15 minutes does not allow the printer to remain online for 14 minutes -- it still goes offline to the network after ~5 minutes -- even agfter changing this settings and power cycling the printer.
7) No wireless extender is being used.
8) We tried static IP, Dynamic IP, and statically assigned DHCP served IP.
Once printer is "offline" when visiting printer to tell printer to disable WiFi access, then re-enable it, all machines with items in their printer queue/spool *immediately* de-queue/de-spool their printer jobs to the printer.

Hi @TheSynAck,
I see you are using a Hot Spot, I believe we have found the reason for the connectivity issues. There may be a setting that needs to manually configured for the Hotspot to 'allow' your printer access. Also, hotspots may have limitations and restrictions that may cause connectivity issues.
Take a look here: Setting up the Printer as a HotSpot, it shows a Laserjet but the same steps apply.
Keep in mind that Hotspot connections are 'best effort' connections due to the issues of inconsistencies within the connection. They are not routers. Therefore, you may experience issues in the future when using the Hotspot for your connection. Usually a powercycle or hard reset of the HotSpot will resolve such issues.
I would not recommend getting another Hot Spot as the connection is not guaranteed, you could however try a Wireless Router if you are looking to upgrade anyways.
With the PS 6520 you also have the ability to print using the HP Wireless Direct printing option. Please click on the link below to get started:
HP Wireless Printers - Printing with HP Wireless Direct
I hope this gives you a better understanding of the intermittent connection issues.

HP Photosmart 6520: Black ink is not printing evening after installing all new ink cartidges

Good evening,
Printer has been working great since I've bought it. I replaced the black ink cartridge today because my daughter remarked that blank pages was printing ... no word doc.
Tonight I tried to print and no black ink, neither from the Printer function nor the Copy function.
Just to make sure that this wasn't a bad black ink cartridge, I went out and bought and installed all the ink cartridges and still no black ink,.
I have run the software - Clean Printheads, both steps, twice (after waiting an hour inbetween the first and second series.)
I have verified that the in flows from the cartridge.
I have verified that the vent hole on the cartridge is open.
The warranty ended on 12-31-2013.
The only time I see black ink (words) is when I print the PRINT QUALITY DIAGNOSTIC report.
Printhead removal does not appear to be user available. Any suggestions - other than buy a new one?
Gunz

Hello afcosta355,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are running into some print quality issues on your HP Photosmart 6520, you are unable to print in black ink after replacing the cartridge.
I would like you to continue here: Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages, I understand you may have done some of these steps already but I need you to complete all steps in order to resolve the missing black issue you are experiencing.
Please note: There are three printhead cleaning stages. Complete all three stages if necessary. If the printhead is badly clogged, it might require another cleaning cycle. If so, wait 30 minutes after the last (third) cleaning stage to start the first stage of the cleaning process over again.
If you are still unable to print in black ink, I suspect the issue may be the printer and not the cartridge. Please let me know which Country/Region you are in as well as the product Warranty status: HP Warranty Checker
I hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks,
HevnLgh

Problems with borderless printing with iPhoto '08 and HP Photosmart Printer

I am trying to print borderless 4x6 photos on HP Photosmart C6250 (same as all HP C62xx Photosmart printers). I am using the HP 4x6 photo paper with the perforated tab. When I select the paper size, I specify Borderless 4x6 in/10 x15 cm (tab). According to the printer manual, the tab should be facing out. I have tried printing with tab out and the tab in. With tab in, it printed the picture leaving white space at the other end equal to length of tab. With tab out as printer specified, it left a white gap at beginning of photo (not as wide as tab) and printed the photo over the perforated tab.
Anyone else figured out how to print using the 4x6 paper with tabs. I also tried printing from the HP software included with the printer and it has issues, too. So, it might be an HP problem, or is it maybe a Mac printing issue with this printer.
Thanks for any help!
Barbara

Barbara:
This is a shot in the dark but take a look at the following topic. It might just help. As they say, any port in a storm.
Topic : iphoto won't print properly to HP photosmart
It does seem like a bizarre solution however. Good luck.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Printing: Why are most paper types disabled in HP printer dialog from Photoshop?

Hi all.
I'm trying to create a printer profile with a GretagMacbeth EyeOne. I've found that from the EyeOne software or from Preview, all paper types are enabled in the Print configuration dialog for my HP C5100-series printer. When trying to print the test chart from Photoshop CS3 (which is necessary, because EyeOne offers no provision for printing on 4x6 photo paper), most paper types (even HP-brand ones) are disabled. It doesn't matter what paper size or source tray I choose.
For example, under the "photo paper" category, only the asterisked ones below are enabled:
*HP Premium Plus photo papers
HP Premium photo papers
*HP Advanced photo paper
HP Photo paper
HP Everyday Photo Paper, semi-gloss
HP Everyday Photo Paper, matte
other photo papers
Anyone know why papers would be disabled under Photoshop?
Thanks.

Just read this and thread 1889763 on the subject of greyed out paper types but only after two days of faffing around. I am on Snow Leopard and have just replaced a printer with an HP CC335 (also known as a C309a). Same problem. I get a full range of papers in Pages application but in Photshop there are only a couple of inkjet and photo papers and all the other media types and sub menus are greyed. I did not initally install any drivers from HP or the printer's CD as I had read the HP warning at:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01846935&cc=uk&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3 737195
A short time after setting up the printer there was a driver update to 2.3 which happned through the Apple software update although I still see v 2.2.1 when I loook in 'about this mac.' Someone on Apple's forum noted that HP had released 2.3 drivers so I downloaed and installed them from HP yesterday. I still only see v2.2.1 and of course none of this has cured the problem.
AS the printer is only a couple of weeks old I will retrun it unless there is a solution. Is there one? Anyone recommend a good all-in-one (plus fax?) that will function properly with photoshop?
