Problems printing with Officejet 7410 with Windows XP

Hi
I have an Officejet 7410 set up at home on my woriesless network. For the last two months it has been working perfectly this way, I have two laptops that print to it, one that runs on Windows 7 and one on Windows XP that have both have the most up to date drivers installed and were working fine. I also regularly connect to a remote desktop connection to access my office database and also print to the Officeject 7410 through this connection as well.
However, in the last week the Windows XP laptop now only prints correctly with some documents, such as PDF's, other documents such as Word documents or emails when printed from this machine print in hyrogliphics such as the Wingdings font. The Windows 7 laptop is still printing perfectly though and will even print the same docments perfectly so I know it's nothing wrong with the documents.
I have made sure the driver is the most up to date and have reisntalled it in case of any problems and nothing has changed.
Do I need to use the Terminal Services Easy Print driver to work with the HP 7410 All In One? It uses TS client 6.0 which is the most up to date one for the XP operating system
I would be grateful for any suggestions anyone can give to help me resolve this please.
Many thanks
Jo

Hi Jo,
Usually when everything is working fine and then suddenly goes wrong on only 1 computer it means something has been introduced onto the computer with problems.
Do you recall any software you might have installed on the XP machine prior to your problems? In particular did you add Service Pack 3 to your XP machine?

I have problems printing with a HP Officejet 6500 printer directly from my iMac. The printer itself does function well, as I can print from another PC without any problems. Does anyone have a clue?

Hello:
I must apologize . I should have checked here first:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP
According to the list, there is no driver for your printer included in OS X 10.7.
There are a couple of options:
1. Contact HP to see if they have a workaround.
2. If the model of printer is not listed but your printer is a PostScript printer or PCL Laser printer, try the "Generic PostScript" or "PCL Laser printer" drivers. Generic printer drivers may not let you access all the features of your printer.
I have not tried #2, but some people have had success.

1) Select the exact model
2) Select the exact OS
3) Download a) full feature software, updates, utilities
4) Burn all downloads to a CD.
Disconnect the power and USB cable. Install the full feature software, following the instructions.
The updates and utilities can be useful after the initial install.

HP Laserjet p2015d auto duplex printing with Windows 7 64 bit operating system

I have used the HP Laserjet p2015d with Windows 7 32 bit operating system and have been able to use the AUTOMATIC DUPLEX feature of the printer without problems.
Now, however, I have installed the 64 bit version of Windows 7 operating system and the AUTO DUPLEX does not work and is not shown as being available on the PROPERTIES menu of the printer.
Is it possible to use the AUTO DUPLEX feature of the printer with Windows 7 64 bit operating system.
All replies welcomed! Aaron in Calif.

Hi Aaron,
Make sure the Automatic Duplexing option is enabled:
Enter Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
Right click the printer icon, then click Printer Properties.
Click the Device Settings tab.
Set the Automatic Two-Sided Duplex Accessory as installed and click OK to save the change.
Now Automatic Duplexing should become available.

Why won't my printer print with Windows 8?

Why won’t my printer print with Windows 8?
Have you just upgraded, or purchased a new computer with Windows 8, and now you can’t get your printer to work? If so, this may help you. A lot of people have questions about installing their printer on a new OS. This will help you answer those questions and make sure that you get everything installed.
Before You Start
Before you try to install the printer on a Windows 8 computer, you should check to make sure the printer is compatible with the new OS. The link below will give you a list of the printers that will work in Windows 8.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03168175&lc=en&cc=us&destPage=document&dlc=en
If you have upgraded your computer to Windows 8 form another version of Windows, make sure to completely uninstall all of the software for your printer. It should still print, but to use all the functions you will need to reinstall the software, if it’s available.
Another thing to consider is how you want to connect the printer to the computer.
USB. You should make sure that you have a USB cable that is no longer than 6 ft. (roughly 2m). Make sure to connect the printer directly to the computer. Do not use a USB hub.
Ethernet cable. Make sure you have the network setup, that you have a free cable port on the router, and that you have an Ethernet cable available.
Wireless. You should make sure that you have the wireless network setup, and that you have the password for the wireless network.
1.     Installing Via USB
Installing via USB in Windows 8 has become much simpler for HP printer users. In other versions of the Windows OS you had to start the installation and wait for it to ask you for the USB connection. If you didn’t, you would have to uninstall the printer from the Printers/Devices folder, and then start the install. In Windows 8, that will not be a problem. If you plug the printer’s USB cable in and then install the printer’s software, it will still work. Now for in depth instructions on installing the printer via USB click the link below.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03460670&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
2.     Installing Via an Ethernet Network Connection
For an Ethernet network connected printer the install is amazingly simple. All you have to do is connect the printer to the network. Once you have that done, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you. Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if it’s available. It’s really that easy.
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
3.     Installing Via a Wireless Network Connection.
For a wireless network connected printer the install is amazingly simple as well. All you have to do is connect the printer to the network. Once you have that done, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you. Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if it’s available. It’s pretty much the same as an Ethernet install, just wireless.
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
Alternate Install Methods
With Windows 8, many printers’ drivers are installed with the OS. These are known as InOS drivers, since they come built into the operating system. If you have one of those printers, all you should have to do is connect it to the computer via USB, or connect it to the network via Ethernet or wireless. Once you have that done Windows will handle the rest. There are alternate methods of installing your printer if the normal methods are not working for some reason. You can install the printer either using the Printer Install Wizard, or through Windows Updates.
Printer Install Wizard:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02681060&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
Windows Update:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03460648&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
Note: The Laserjet drivers for the Asia-Pacific and Japan won’t be released until a later date. Check the support site linked below for driver availability. I will update this post once they become available.

Hello @arcticbear38,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're receiving a small portion on the left hand side of a document missing on both printers. I will do my best to assist you! Does this happen when you print from one program or many program(s)?
Both of these printers are not indicating low on ink? I would recommend resetting the printing system on your computer by following this Apple document here. I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

HP Officejet J4500 duplex printing with Windows 8

I have an HP Officejet J4500 All-in-One printer that I purchased about 5 years ago when I was still using MS XP on an Off Brand computer. It worked fine and would print double-sided when I wanted to save paper on a larger print job. It would even show me on the PC moniter with an illustration when to turn the pages to do the back side printing. However, my old computer died last summer, so I upgraded to an HP computer (without the printer, since I had a good one already!), using the newest Windows 8 system. My problem is, the printer still woks perfectly EXCEPT for two-sided printing (and no helpful illustrations on the moniter!) How do I fix that? Do I need to re-install the printer wizard or do a Windows 8 upgrade for the printer?

Hello there bevspets, Welcome to the Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience
I saw your post about not being able to duplex print on Windows 8 with your OJ J4500 series. I would suggest running the HP Print and Scan Doctor
to start, which should correct printing or scanning issues for you. If there is more of a serious issue, it will alert you to what it is.
Please let me know the results!
Thanks for posting, enjoy your day

Canon MG6220 wierd zooming/cropping printing problem, only when printing with Windows XP?

The printer in question is a Canon Pixma MG6220, connected to a WindowsXP printer. I've printed this same document on a Brother laser printer, that is connected to the same computer, and it prints correctly. I've printed this same document on a Epson inkjet printer, and it prints correctly. I've printed this same document at Staples, on one of their big laser printers, and it prints correctly. So, this printing problem is only occurring with this Canon printer. One other thing that may help you with this, is that last night I moved this Canon printer to another computer, except this one had Windows 7 on it, and it printed flawlessly! So, it seems that it may have something to do with Windows XP printer driver.
I'm printing a one page document from Word 2002 which consists of about 10 pictures, no text. All the pictures on the page are the same height but a different width. When I print the document, some of the pictures print correctly and some of them do not.
Essentially, what is happening is that some pictures are zoomed in about 50%, yet still print in the same area that is set in the document. So, the image looks like it has been rudely cropped.
The oddest thing is that this only happens to some of the pictures. There is nothing special about these pictures. The pictures that print correctly are from the same source as the ones that don't print correctly. I’ve done other Word documents like this, with the same format but different pictures, and they printed wrong too, some pictures correct and some zoomed/cropped.
Here is a summary of the pictures from the files I attached, and which ones printed correctly, and which did not: The first one is a screen capture of the Word document, and the other is a scan of the printed document.
Row 1
    Pic 1 – error (zoomed/cropped), Pic 2 – error, Pic 3 – correct, Pic 4 – error
Row 2
    Pic 1 – correct, Pic 2 – correct, Pic 3 – correct
Row 3
    Pic 1 – error, Pic 2 – error, Pic 3 – correct, Pic 4 – error
Row 4
    Pic 1 – error, Pic 2 – error, Pic 3 – correct
One observation of the incorrectly printed pictures, is that the upper left corners appear unaffected. It is the lower right corners that get the weird zooming/cropping effect.

Urgently restore a backup of the registry.
Urgently do not use the word 'urgently' in a forum of volunteers.
Also it can not be urgent, as Forms 4.5 dates from the Flintstone age, and probably isn't even certified on XP.
However, the error message is very clear: Apparently Forms 4.5 uses the registry to store printer info: you need to get that entry back. That kind of info is usually documented. Documentation is likely still online.

5200 photosmart all-in-one problems printing with new dell computer running windows 8.1

have a photosmart C5280 all-in-one that I was using with a computer running windows XP, it worked fine. Bought a new computer running windows 8.1, printer not printing very well at all.

I think this has got me printing again. I had to uninstall the full feature software and loaded the driver only. I could not get the full feature software to load completly so I loaded the driver only and this seem to work O.K. Thanks for the help.

Double sided printing on HP officejet 7410 and windows 8.1

I recently had to upgrade to a new computer with Windows 8.1 and after downloading the driver for my old HP Officejet 7410 All in One WITH the double sided printing attachment, I cannot get it to print on both sides automatically, as in the printer setup there is only "print one page" or manually print double sided. I continue to get the manual print instructions to turn the pages over. I have downloaded the driver twice and cannot find an option for the double sided driver. The printer still prints double sided automatically with the other old computer i have.
Help ~ wanting to print double sided!

I have the same problem. I have the HP Officejet 7410 that supports automatic double sided printing. I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1. I installed the most recent software and drivers from the HP support site. But automatic double sided printing is no longer an option. What's up with that HP? How about a fix?

Possible solution for problems printing with ICC profiles - esp. R2400

(N.B. This is long because I've decided to go in to details about the background of the problem etc.. Also note that whilst my experience is with the Epson R2400, anyone with problems printing using ICC profiles in Aperture may find this post helpful, as will be explained further down the post.)
Ok, here's the situation. I've been an Aperture user for over a year, and an R2400 owner for half a year. In that time I have done a huge amount of experimenting, but I've never managed to get Aperture to work perfectly with Epson's 'premium' R2400 ICC profiles - the ones you can download from their site which are better than the ones provided 'in the box'. This hasn't been too big a deal because, in fact, the R2400 does a rather good job just set to 'System Managed' in Aperture and 'Epson Vivid' with a gamma of 1.8 in the printer driver. Nevertheless, it really annoyed me that something that should work wasn't, which is why I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what's going on. Having said that, I have come across a method which will give you pretty good prints out of your Epson R2400 using the premium profiles in Aperture - it's not perfect, but it's the best you're going to get if you want to use those profiles in Aperture. I understand the words 'it's not perfect' aren't what photography experts would probably want to hear, however, I have seen a few anguished posts from R2400 owners in here before, so I think some people may find it useful.
The whole reason why Aperture is hopeless at using the R2400's premium profiles is because - unusually - their default rendering intent is set to 'relative colorimetric' rather than 'perceptual'. You might say 'but that's good - it means you get more accurate colours!', and if you do, you're right... however, there's a snag. To get an image to reproduce well using Epson's premium profiles and relative colorimetric rendering, you really need to use black point compensation. This is where the trouble lies: Aperture's black point compensation is diabolical to the point of being unusable when used with relative colorimetric rendering - I feel I need to be awarded compensation every time I've ever tempted to use the setting. So because BPC in Aperture is unusable, that effectively makes the premium profiles unusable too, because Aperture always uses the default rendering intent specified in the profile.
The solution? Use perceptual rendering instead. Ok, so you can't change the rendering intent in Aperture, which makes that sound a tad difficult. However, as I said in the above paragraph, Aperture always obeys the default rendering intent specified in the profile... so you can see where we're going with this: we need to change the ICC profiles' default rendering intent from 'relative colorimetric' to 'perceptual'. I did some digging around and found one or two expensive pieces of software that could do that... but then I found that, lo and behold, the Mac OS has a command-line utility which can do the job for us, for precisely £0.00. It's called SIPS or 'Scriptable Image Processing System', and you can find out some information about it here: http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn2035.html#TNTAG58 For those who don't like reading technical jargon however, here's what you need to do to convert a profile's rendering intent. First go to terminal, then type in the following command:
sips -s renderingIntent perceptual
Do not press 'enter' yet. Instead, add a space after 'perceptual', find the ICC profile you want to modify, and click and drag it into the terminal window. You should then find that your command looks something like this:
sips -s renderingIntent perceptual /Users/yourname/folder/RandomProfile.ICC
At which point you can then press 'enter', and the command will execute, giving you an ICC profile which will now make Aperture use perceptual rendering.
There is just one further thing to be aware of after doing this: for some crazy reason, you then need to turn on BPC in Aperture for the prints to come out as good as possible. Black point compensation shouldn't make any difference when using perceptual rendering as the idea of perceptual is that it takes account of things like that anyway, however, in Aperture BPC does make a difference, so remember to turn it on to get a half decent print. In general, I find that prints made using this setup come out pretty well; they almost perfectly match prints made using the profiles with a perceptual intent in Photoshop Elements, except for the fact that Aperture blocks up the shadows a bit more than Photoshop. However, if you can live with that, you might find this is quite a workable solution.
Now, I said near the beginning of this post that all the above can apply to other printers too. Most printer profiles have 'perceptual' set as their default rendering intent, in which case everything I've just said won't be of much help. However, If you are reading this because you're having problems with ICC profiles in Aperture, but you don't use an Epson R2400, find your problematic ICC profile, double-click on it, and take a look at the window that opens: specifically, at the 'Rendering Intent' the window mentions. If it doesn't say 'Perceptual' then it may well be worth trying the steps I've outlined in this post to set it to perceptual, to see if doing so produces an improvement when using the profile in Aperture.
Finally, just one note of caution: if you decide to try out the steps I've detailed above on a paid-for custom-made profile, please back your profile up before messing with it. I haven't experienced any problems when using SIPS to change a profile's rendering intent, but I obviously can't guarantee that it won't do something weird and corrupt your expensive custom-made profile.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask, although (contrary to any impression I may give) I am not a colour-management expert; I'm just someone who doesn't give up when they have a problem that should be solvable.

Networking color laserjet 3800 printer with Windows 7 OS

I have a color laserjet 3800 that is networked in an office of 5 computers using Windows XP pro OS. I just purchased a HP pavilion Slimline Windows 7 64 bit OS computer. The networking and printer networking set up was a breeze until it came to connecting the 3800. I have downloaded the PCL 5, 6 and universal drivers. When I go to add printer as a network printer and choose the 3800 it gives an error of not being able to find a driver. I tried to manually find the driver but it does not find a match in PCL 5, 6 or universal driver. The link below clearly shows the 3800 to be compatible with windows 7, but I cannot get it work.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Hardware&p=HP%20Col...
The network absolutely sees the printer and lets it be chosen but does not let it get installed on the windows 7 machine.
Thank you for any assistance.

Same Problem here. Does no one have a solution?

HP Photosmart D6160 printer with Windows 7 os

I have an 18 month old HP Photosmart D6160 printer that has performed excellently on my PC running Windows 2000 Professional. The printer using the installed CD software was able to provide test prints, maintenance information and most importantly show which of the six ink cartridges was empty when the printer cartridge indicator light showed a problem. I have recently bought a Packard Bell TJ65 laptop using the Windows 7 os but HP do not provide any updated drivers for this os. The Windows 7 os recognises the printer and has a basic driver which does allow me to print but in order to ascertain which of the six cartridges has a problem (low ink level or empty) I have to remove and replace each cartridge in turn in order to find out which one needs to be replaced. None of the other printer maintenance is available either. I would appreciate any advice on whether there is a workaround for this problem. Thank you in anticipation! Ken

I have exactly the same problem, I have tried on HP's website, they seem to have some software for windows 7 now, but have tried to download the patch but as the original software would not install with windows 7 OS the patch wont work, it would not be so bad if the printer was really ancient, but it is not, the company do not seem to be very supportive, I have loads of ink for it but can never tell which cartridge has run out until it stops printing that colour. What a shame there does not seem to be an answer.
