Printing photos from your Android device

Have you tried printing photos from your Android device (Samsung, Nexus, HTC, Sony etc) ?
http://www.hp.com/united-states/campaigns/mobility/#android-tab-new
Some people have reported issues with skewed borders when trying to print 4x6 & 5x7 photos (see example below of correct photo size v's photo with skewed borders)
If you run into this issue I would advise you to download the free HP ePrint APP from the App Store or Google Play, this allows you to print perfect borderless photos,
Hope this helps.

How do I print from an Android device using bluetooth?

You had purchased the Officejet Mobile 100 printer to print from your Android device using bluetooth.
You have the devices paired with bluetooth, but do not see an option to print or the print button does not work in this case.
Well, here is how this can be accomplished in Android.
For this example, I will use the steps to print a photo.
1. Pair the devices.
2. Open a photo you want to print.
3. Select the share option (may say send using depending on the version of Android).
4. Select Bluetooth.
5. Select the printer from the list of devices.
6. The file will be sent to the printer. You can check the notification area at the top to see how the progress is going. It may take a few minutes for the sending to finish.
7. It should then print the photo.
HP Bluetooth printers natively support the printing of photos only, but a third party app can be used to print documents and other items.

Paper jam when printing photo from Microsoft Photo Editor

On my C7280, I want to print a photo from Microsoft Photo Editor onto plain 8.5x11 paper. This always produces a paper jam. If I copy/paste the photo into, say, Word, and print from Word, the document prints properly.
This is not a "false paper jam" - the printer attempts to feed the paper, and jams (and creases) the paper in the attempt.
In Photo Editor, I explicitly chose "plain paper" and "main tray", rather than automatic settings.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hello @Lonewolf777 ,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are getting paper jams when printing from your Android device.
I would like to help.
Have you tried to print using the HP ePrint app?
Also, if you are having problems using the in OS print system, install the HP Print Service Plug in.
It acts like a print driver for your phone.
If it is already installed, try the old, uninstall and reinstall trick.
Alternately, you can call the folks over at the HP Cloud Services department.
Please call our Cloud Services at 855-785-2777.

Setting Up Google Chrome Features for Cloud Printing from an Android Device

These steps are organized for optimal setup procedure and to decrease the time it would take to set this option up from start to finish. This is a lengthy process and is more for possibly troubleshooting issues that may arise during the setup of Google Chrome's Cloud Print feature. However, if you have an Android phone or tablet and are interested in being able to print virtually anything at anytime from anywhere from your phone to any brand of printer regardless of setup, there is a way. And this is how:
Open/Install Google Chrome onto a computer
Sign in with personal email to access the same Google Chrome account you intent to print from
Download Google Drive as an external storage you can access from anywhere
Open Google Chrome Settings (three lines stacked on top of each other)
Scroll down to the bottom of settings and click "Advanced Settings"
"Sign in/add printers/manage printers" are three of the print options you may see here
Follow this link for information on:
adding a classic printer to this option: https://support.google.com/cloudprint/answer/1686197?rd=1
how to add an HP ePrint email: https://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/printers.html#info-hp
on registering the email of that printer (HP registration page): https://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/setup-hp.html
8. add the printer to this section of Google Chrome
9. at the bottom of the page you will see "Send a test page/print test page" (that will be useful later)
10. at the top of this page is the option to share this printer with other Google Chrome users
11. Open Google Drive from www.google.com (likely displayed at the top of the webpage)
Can create a new document of any file type, upload, draw, etc
Leave computer on if intending to print from off the network or another location
The next steps are in regards to printing from a mobile device:
Install/open Cloud Print App
Add personal email account associated with Google Chrome
Select printer management if on the same network as the printer
Select Web tab and Google Drive if not on the same home network
Find earlier test page in Google Drive Documents
To locate other documents one could find many applications within this app or
In another app like Documents To Go, you can select to send previously saved documents (like one might send an email on the Android) to the Cloud Print app to open, view, and print
Print Test Document – this function means the printer has officially been added now
In Google Drive, but within the Cloud Print app, you can select the printer that was added to this network or from "Printer Management Options."
There are many ways to determine if your printer is still connected (offline, ready, etc.) but after confirmation that the printer is available, print jobs rest in the print queue until the printer receives the command to print. Then the documents are stored and available for reprinting.
Converts most print jobs to .pdf but prints most file formats from other applications as well
In Printer Management advanced settings
You can add a contact from the phone to use this printer
Set as default
See an extensive page of setup and printing options
*After a test print while the computer was off the document did not print and the printer appeared offline until approx. 4 min after computer was rebooted, then the document printed automatically.
Also if a document does not print, the troubleshooting guide on the phone suggested logging out of Google Chrome Cloud Print but I was unable to find that option it was suggesting (unable to log out)
To completely finish adding any additional Google Chrome accounts that wish to share this printer using the suggestion in step 10, you must log into the email that was added and select ADD PRINTER from within the email that was sent for the confirmation and follow the link and instructions on how to do this from your email.
Google Chrome and Google Drive support Windows, MAC, and Linux
You can also change share options, privacy settings, etc. but if you choose to go with the two-step verification process, you may not be able to add your Google Chrome email account to the app without a 16 digit code generated within Google Chrome Privacy Settings for your app (not recommended)
Now you have the option to also email any document to either the Cloud Print App or HP ePrint from the phone/tablet without actually accessing the app first. Locate the document, press the menu button for more options, select "Send to" and a list of available apps will appear. Choosing Cloud Print or HP ePrint sends the document or photo directly to the "print" function within the apps, instead of opening the app first and then searching for what it is you want to print.
**computer connected to printer must be on**
Requirements: a) Google Chrome, Google Drive, and Cloud Print mobile app b) These steps outline the use of an Android device on the network for setup c) will need the computer connected to the printer to be on at all times d) go to this webpage http://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/ if you have any more questions.
Available features of Cloud Print App
a. Print all file formats from Google Drive (uploaded or create)
b. Has an internal notepad and drawing tool
c. Prints off all contacts and phone numbers as well as specified text messages
d. The scan option actually just means take a picture
e. Without Cloud Print Pro you get 5 days to test the features of printing Facebook pictures, Drop Box and Schedules before those features are no longer available

This document is to assist others in understanding and troubleshooting Cloud Print. This took me many hours to get setup, troubleshoot, and prepare a document that is simple and easy to understand. These are literally step-by-step instructions on how you could be able to print from any Android device to any printer connected to a computer that has Google Chrome.

How can i print to my officejet 100 mobile printer from an android device over bluetooth?

I'm stumped here. I've installed the printer on my Windows PC. I'm able to pair with it (Bluetooth) from my Android tablet (Galaxy 10.1"). I've tried using a variety of printing programs from the Android Marketplace, but I can't get anything to print.
When I try with PrinterShare, it asks me to select the printer. When I select the OfficeJet 100, I'm told that the application can't find a driver for the printer.
Note to HP: You definitely need to improve the documentation on this printer. The docs that came with my printer make no mention of Android, and finding anything useful online is practically impossible. Very disappointing.

How do you transfer photos from an android phone or from google to iPhoto??

How do you transfer photos from an android phone or from google+ to iphoto? I have been unable to transfer photos from my motorola photon. The annoyingly time-consuming work-around that I've been doing is to log into google+, access "photos from my phone" and, one-at-a-time, click and drag photos into iphoto, combine all of the individual events, and then re-date the photos with an accurate timestamp. Then, suddenly, the drag function just STOPPED from one photo to next. Has anyone had this problem? If so, has anyone been able to rectify it? Has anyone used PhotoBucket? This was just suggested to me.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, thedrew1125

Does your device use standard methods of communicating with the computer? Can you access the photos with Image Capture (in your Applications Folder)? Has it got Bluetooth? Use that to transfer to the Mac... What connectivity does your device offer?

Printing directly from a mobile device that is NOT on a wifi network

I would like to print directly from an ipad, that does not connect to a home wifi connection.
I have read in some forums, that the HP 6520 can create a direct ad-hoc style wifi connection that the IOS device can connect to, but this is not clearly stated in the feature set on this website.
Can a support admin please clarify whether printing directly from a mobile device that is NOT connected to a shared wifi network is possible?

I use an iMac running V. 10.10.2. I have an Epson WP-4530 printer. Is there a printer driver that will enable one to print photos from color negatives?

I use an iMac running V. 10.10.2. I have an Epson WP-4530 printer. Is there a printer driver that will enable one to print photos from color negatives?
I have already tried downloading the drivers from Epson as per one person's suggestions, but the dialog box isn't anything like what was suggested--the choices in the box weren't the same for the most part. I don't want to lock up the computer or disable the printer for normal printing, but I have a lot of old negatives that I would love to have prints from.

I am using the latest software from Epson for Mac OS 10.10.2 that I downloaded last week. I seem to remember that the older software (we're talking 6-8 years ago) had to option to scan slides or negatives and would convert the results into positives via the scanner. I don't like the most recent scanning software because it jumps right into the scan before giving you a chance to change the options. It uses the selected options from the previous scan which are sometimes right, sometimes wrong. Thanks for your reply to my question!

I am trying to transfer photos from a portable device, why don't they go to I photo?

I want to transfer photos from a portable device to my iMac. They don't seem to go to iPhoto, but as another file..I then cannot move them to iPhoto, and am struggling to then upload to my iPad! Any advise?

It's possible the default upload location got changed from your device. Connect the device (flash drive, camera, phone or whatever you're using) then launch Image Capture (look in your Applications folder) then in the lower left you will see a small down arrow, click it then locate iPhoto in the box and you should be set.

Can't print photos from any phot editing program or photo program

my printer is hp photosmart C6380 all in one printer, operating system is windows 7 64-bit.
I can't print photos from microsoft office picture manager, or windows live photo gallery, etc. Have to use microsoft word to import the pictures into and then print.

Hi there,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
