Printer Driver for HP Photosmart 7520 for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and 10.3 and 10.5

I just purchased a new HP Photosmart 7520 printer. One of my Macs at home is an iMac G5 that is running Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. It connects to the HP printer via Wi-Fi. HP does not provide drivers for Mac OS 10.4 for the Photosmart 7520 printer. I tried all sorts of old HP drivers and finally found one that worked, so I figured I would post here to help out anyone else who is trying to solve the same problem. The driver download you need is the OS 10.4 driver for the Photosmart C7250 All-In-One printer. Here is the link to the download page:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-55650-2 &cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=219&product=3382185&sw_lang=
After downloading and installing the drivers, I ran the HP Printer Setup Utility. It was not able to detect my printer. I had to go to System Preferences on my Mac and add the printer manually in the Print & Fax control panel. The Print & Fax control panel was not able to auto-select the correct driver to use, so I selected "HP" from the "Print Using" drop-down list, and then selected "HP Photosmart D7400 Series" from the "Model" list. That worked for me. Good luck!
According to the driver download page, this driver will work for Mac OS X v10.3.9, v10.4 and v10.5

Thank you very much, I just bought this printer without paying attention to the compatibility of my Imac. Thanks to you, I just install it without too much difficulty. Thank you again.
Merci beaucoup, je viens d'acheter cette imprimante sans faire attention à la compatibilité de mon Imac. Grace à vous, je viens de l'installer sans trop de difficulté. Encore merci.

Printing Tip for Konica Minolta Bizhub C550

Hi all,
I've been browsing the forums for the last week, as I just upgraded to Leopard at work. We use a Konica Minolta BizHub C550 for the vast majority of our printing jobs, and I found that I was having the problem others have described with the print queue inexplicably stalling repeatedly, with the job never getting printed. I'm up and running on our other 2 printers, a Magicolor 7450 and Canon iPF700.
In any case, I have found a good workaround for the BizHub. I am using the printer drivers for the Xerox WorkCentre 7655 with good results. I can choose the correct paper sizes and settings, and don't seem to be having any color matching issues (yet). So I wanted to share this, as I didn't see it in the forums when I was initially freaking out about the situation. Our sales rep we lease the printer from has been communicating with KM all week, and they apparently have no clue when they'll be ready with 10.5 compatible drivers.

Wow,
I am not alone!!! I recently agreed to a lease of a C550. We have both Windows and Mac workstations and the performance is very poor in the Mac environment. The drivers are severely crippled.
I have been working with my sales rep, a color specialist, and an application specialist from KM and all three of them have had the same problems when testing files. And no one has offered a resolution. I should I have stayed with Xerox.
I have had the same problem as you described. As well as very bad color results. If I try to send a file in CMYK mode on the Mac workstation everything is extremely dark (Light Brown turns Black, etc.) The same file on the windows computer in CMYK is fine. Also, I have taken the same files to a Xerox dealer to compare. The files came out much more accurate (as close as can be expected for a color laser print). I have been in the design and printing industry for over 10 years and I have never been this disappointed. I am curious to see how things turn out and how many other Apple user are left behind with Konica Minolta Drivers.

Looking for Print Server for HP Photosmart C4483 All-in-One Printer

I am looking for Print Servers that I can use with 'HP Photosmart C4483 All-in-One Printer' for both 'Printing and Scanning'. I'm not sure if this Printer is Network Ready or Network Capable, kindly advice.

Hello Merole
As I understand it you can print color everywhere but from MS Word 2013? If this is the case try the steps I have outlined below to see if they resolve your issue:
On the View tab, in the Color/Grayscale group, click Black and White.
On the Black and White tab, in the Change Selected Object group, click the settings that you want.
I hope this helps resolve your printing issue. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Printer cartridge for HP Photosmart 7520

I bought a new HP Photosmart 7520. When changing the photo black inkt cartridge I used one of the catridges I bought some time ago for my former printer. The cartridge is from the 364 series, the production date (?) stamped on the box reads IRELAND Oct 2010. The printer does not accept the cartridge displaying an error message which (translated from Dutch) reads: Incompatible older generation cartridge installed. Does this mean that I have to through away the 364 cartridges I still have left?

Hello there, Welcome to the Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience
I read your post about the message you are seeing when installing an ink cartridge you had purchased some time ago. I have located some information about the message you're seeing and I'de like to share that with you.
I hope this helps clear up any confusion.

Setting up a print server for 5 USB printers

I have seven Macs in the house all networked through hubs and a router.
Does anyone know how to set-up five USB ink-jet printer through a print server from Linksys. I current use all on one shared G5, so all can choose the printers.
My first attempt by getting the IP address of the print server was sucessful, but apparently I need port information. Also, the print server feeds into a USB hub, then to the printers. Is this possible?

In my limited search for a USB print server, I recall that you cannot connect them through a Hub. Look in the documentation to see if it can do this. I doubt it, though.

Bad printing color for HP Photosmart 7150

I got the drivers for my printer installed - THANKS. I installed new unopened printer cartridges - both color & black. When I printed just a text page the black was great, but when I printed something with color PROBLEM !!! The color pictures looked like there was a line green filter over everything. You could see the colors underneath this lime green, but not easily. What can I do? I like the printer, but not with lime green colors.

I've got the same problem on my MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard and Gutenprint 5.2.5 when printing on the 7150 - it prints about 10% (and skewed at that) and spits out the page. This occurs when printing from any app.
I am only able to print in draft mode which is not suitable for anything I need to do.
I realize this printer is no longer officially supported, but any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Mike.

Printing Proofsheet for HP Photosmart C6380

I recently replaced an older HP printer with the C6380. With my previous printer I could print out a proofsheet to select the prints I wanted to actually print. Is there a way to do that with the C6380?
Thank you

Hello vcer,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
Sorry to hear about the install issues on Windows 8.1 for your C6380, that document you got the information regarding those file extension is usually the fix.
I have found that a lot of new Windows 8.1 computer are coming pre-loaded with McAfee, is this the Anit-Virus on your computer? If so, disable it then try to install the software. I have had good results with that step in the past.
If it is not the Anti-Virus software installed, what is?
Thanks for posting your question here.

Adding to available "Printer Models" for shared Windows printers

I have a MacBook (my first Mac) and I have been able to get it to network with my Windows XP desktop, and it can print to the Canon Pixma iP4000 printer connected to the Windows machine.
However, in Printer Setup, I had to choose a Printer Model, and the closest I could find is "Canon S800 - Gimp Print v.5.0.0 beta 2" -- which allows me to print, but the printouts are all in draft mode.
I would like more control over the printer settings. Is there a way to add to that list of available Printer Models (i.e., is there some way to download an update for that list)??

MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Thanks, Greg, for the iFelix link. I had found that already, and run through the steps many times last night, and it still did't work on my MacBook.
However, I did find another set of instructions on another web site that helped me get it working. Basically, I set it up as an LPD/LPR printer instead of a Windows Printer, addressing it via the IP address of my WinXP machine. I still have to use the manual sheet feeder (the driver can't deal properly with the paper tray on the bottom of the printer), but at least I was able to print.
Oddly, I just tried again using the iFelix instructions, and now it works! Why it didn't work last night, I don't know. But now I've got two means of accessing this printer.

Printing options for 8750 PhotoSmart

I'm stunned to note there are so few options for printing various projects on my 8750 via Mavericks. No draft printing? No page setup for horizontal or portrait, no black and white mode? Is there a driver with more of these kinds of options available, or am I stuck with this one extremely simplified driver that doesn't even allow me to manually do duplex printing?

From the File menu, select Print. The Print window appears..
2. Click the lowest selection box listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
3. Select Paper Type/Quality from the drop-down menu.
4.. Set the Qultity as Fast Draft.
You may save the settings for future use by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset and provide any unique name (e.g Draft)...

Printer configuration for MacBook

I have an HP Photosmart printer, a desktop HP PC, and a Macbook. I am trying to figure out how to configure everything so that I can print from my Macbook. I had it configured previously, but I have since switched internet providers (I have FiOS now) and that apparently has something to do with the fact that I can no longer print. The Macbook does not appear to be communicating with my printer. Help?

If you are trying to share a printer on a Windows PC then maybe this will help:
Setting up to print to a printer shared by a Windows computer via SMB
Mac OS X 10.5- Compatibility with Windows-shared printers
Mac OS X- Cannot locate a shared Windows printer

Mac OS X 10.5: Troubleshooting printing issues
Be sure you have a compatible printer driver for your printer installed on the Mac or included with the OS X set of printer drivers. OS X does not support many Photosmart models. If you installed the Gutenprint drivers that came with OS X, then it provides support for additional Photosmart printers. Not all HP printers work wirelessly.

Is the c6180 printer able to print documents for ipad2?

i have a c6180 printer and can not print documents from apple ipad 2. is there any way to make them compatable?

If you do not have an ePrint-enabled printer, you will not be able to print from a mobile device using ePrint or AirPrint. However, HP does have a free mobile printing solution for HP wireless printers like the Photosmart C6180: HP iPrint Photo.
HP iPrint Photo can print .pdf, .txt, .jpg, .png, .tiff, and .bmp files stored on your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad.
Instructions on how to download HP iPrint can be found here:

Hello NigelH1,
The Print Head for the Photosmart 7250 is not available outside HP.
Please call HP Tech Support for further assistance.
If you are in US , the toll free # is 1-800-474-6836 .
If you are not in US , then log on to www.hp.com , at bottom-left corner there is a world map icon, click on it and then select the region you belong to, which would then provide support options for you for that region.
