Printing Photos with the Photosmart B210a so they are not blurry and full of ink

I purchased the B210a to replace an older photosmart that just stopped printing. When the old printer did photos they were great. Had no trouble setting printet up to run on a wireless network and am using a computer with WINXP.
Photos that come out are grainy and full of ink, so much so that I get ink all over my hands. I have done all the things you usually do, clean printheads, checked the vents, align the printhead. No change in how the photo prints. Went out and bought HP advanced photo paper as all I had was photo paper for an epson picturemate. Nothing.
Everything else on the printer works fine, it prints great and the scanner works very well. The photos are a big disappointment. At this point I am debating contacting HP Support directly or just taking the thing back and getting a different printer. Printer is only about a week out of the box at this point.
Any help woud be greatly appreciated. I did find a thread about this but it was way too detailed and technical for me to follow all the steps the posted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We are having the exact same problem. I happened to have one sheet of HP paper (from an even older HP photo printer and it seemed to print just fine. So I think the Kodak stuff (I have a lot of it too) is just not compatible with the HP 6510. I'm going to get some other paper tomorrow and see what works.

I have photos with the same numer but they are different photos how can I fix that?

I have photos with same names but they are different photos. Can I rename these photos ? How can I do this?

you can save a file with the same name by dragging and dropping from iphoto to a Finder folder
but (and there are always buts) you can only do up to 4 photos at a time
any more and you are not given the option
This is the error message you get:
An item named “IMG_8770.JPG” already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the one you’re moving?
4 or lesss your options are:
Keep Both Stop Replace
5 or more your options change
Skip Stop Replace
it will add a space and a 2 to the name
IMG_8816.JPG turns to IMG_8816 2.JPG
this is the solution I was looking for; let the computer do the name change
Cheers!

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.
View Solution.

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.

When I take photos with my ipad 3 the photos do not go to photostream anymore...they just go to the camera roll so they are not transferring to my pc

When I take photos now with my ipad 3 the photos do not go to the photostream folder...they go to the camera roll so they are not transferring to my pc although they were up till today. How can I fix this?

I went there and the problem might be because of low battery power..I am charging my ipad now and will let you know if that has helped...Thanks for the link..

I was working on my 96page catalog with over 2000 photos and out of the blue my frame edges vanished even on the paste board and they are not hidden and are on

You won't see the frame edges if you are in Preview mode, so you should use Normal mode if you want to see them. You can turn off the Document Grid in the View menu (View>Guides & Grids>Hide Document Grid).

HT201317 When I view photos on my devices some are not oriented correctly. I used Picassa to turn all photos upright and then copied those photos into the upload file but they are still not corrected when viewed on my devices (ipads)

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

I'm having this same problem and can't find a solution that works in the apple support community. What's frustrating is that this used to work seamlessly with Windows. Then I bought a macbook pro and upgraded to OS X Mavericks and a lot of stuff broke.
I'll call apple in the morning.

I paid early termination fee two months ago to Verizon and am now out of the country. Am trying to unlock the phone but the local guys say they are not able to. I see from the blog here that iPhone 5 comes unlocked. Is it true?? Do I still have to unlock.

Thank you for reaching out to us, Texasman. Sad to see that
you have left the VZW family, but it is definitely awesome to be able to
travel! Regarding your iPhone 5, the phone is unlocked for international usage.
Just need an active local SIM card that is compatible with your iPhone. Your local provider
may need to configure some settings under Cellular, but it should pick up signal. Just in
case, make sure that Settings>Cellular>Roaming>Voice & Data are
active.

If you do not lock that folder immediately after deleting all the contents, it will simply populate again (Resume - a "feature" in Lion). You do that by doing a Get Info (highlight folder and press Command + I keys), unlock the lock at the bottom, enter your admin password, then check the box to lock the folder. lock the lock and you're done.
Yes, that is correct. The alternative is to quit all applications prior to logging out. Lion will then have a chance to remove the saved states.

And, for the OP:
It has also been a regular feature of Mac OS to automatically open any window that was open at shutdown. To avoit that behavior, simply close any Finder windows and properly quit applications by closing their window and using Command + Q (or File >Quit).
This was true only for the Finder. Prior to Lion, no other apps would launch unless they were included in the Login Items for the account. And the OS would not restore windows for other apps.
A very small number of apps (TextWrangler is an example) implemented this capability prior to Lion. They could restore previously opened windows. But that is an application feature, and can be controlled by the application's preferences. Lion implements it at the system level, and users have virtually no control on a per application basis.

When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop.. won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not... need to fix this

When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop... won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not

If you are using Photoshop from within iPhoto the following may help with the workflow. However, we do need to know the answers to the questions posed by Terence and Larry to be able to help you.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Screenshots are from PSE 10
Note 1: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
Note 2: editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

HT201302 When I travel with my SLR I like to transfer all photos to the iPad so that they are more easily edited and viewed by others, using the camera kit. Occasionally I would like to export photos - I have not found a way to do this. Can you help?

I occasionally have the need to export photos from the iPad to an SD card (photos that were imported using the camera kit). This is useful for e.g. to print photos while travelling. So far I have not found this functionality anywhere, including in any apps available on iTunes. Can anyone help?

The camera connection kit can only be used to import photo/video files from a camera, SD card or USB flash drive. You can't import other types of files. You can't export any type of files using the camera connection kit.
