The printer wont print on photo paper why is that

The printer keeps printing on paper instead of photo paper

How are you sending the print job, and what file type are you trying to print? I know airprint and eprint base the paper type on what file type is printing. If its from a computer you will have to specify in the print settings what paper to use.

  • Black Prints as Blue on Photo Paper

    I have a Photosmart 6510 and am using Mac Snow Leopard. Black prints fine on plain paper but prints a blue on photo paper. This is a new problem.  It was working fine before. Any suggestions?

    Hi Dlking,
    I responded to your other post, but this thread will work too
    Can you clarify "Working fine before", did you change any settings or OS X versions?

  • My printer wont print because I can't find the right password on (re)set-up. What should I do?

    I"m running windows 8 (I think) and my printer wont print from my computer on the wireless function.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software and updatuing but none of this seems to help.  What should I do now.

    Hi @mfk8 
    I am not sure I understand, what password are you looking for? Is the printer still on the wireless network? Perhaps the following document will be helpful; 'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the HP Printer Will Not Print.
    I look forward to hearing back from you.

  • Canon printer wont print PDF and Word files... sometimes.

    I face a very special problem with my iMac and my Canon printer (Pixma MG5350): Since a few weeks, the printer wont print most PDF files correctly, the same with existing Word files. A blank or blurred sheet is coming out of the machine. But: When I create a brand new Word file and fill it with text, the printer prints it clean and neat. The same with the official Canon test prints – no troubles at all. I have also tried to sort out the problem with the help from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3147?viewlocale=de_DE, without success. Glad about every help!

    My next suggestion would be to try an alternate driver to the Canon.
    There is the Gutenprint v5.2.9 suite which is free and lists the MG5300 series as a supported model. You could download and install this driver suite and add the Gutenprint MG5300 driver and see if this gives you the same problem.

  • HT3500 I am using Mac 10.4.11 and I am having a problem when my printer wont print what I tell it too. Please Help

    I am using Mac 10.4.11 and I am having a problem when my printer wont print what I tell it too. Please Help!

    A warm welcome to Apple discussions!
    A 2003 iMac cannot support Snow Leopard 10.6; you'd need an Intel processor and that cannot be retrofitted to your Mac. What does "About this Mac" in your Apple menu say  for your processor speed? What does it say about how much RAM you have?
    If the processor is 1ghz or faster, you can run OS 10.5; otherwise, you are maxed out at 10.4.11.
    Also, are you running any commercial ("pay for") anti-virus or security software? They are notorious for slowing most Macs to a fraction of their speed potential.
    A too-full hard drive can drag down performance, especially if you don't have a lot of physical RAM installed. If you single-click your hard drive icon and then do command i, you'll see the disk usage. Looks like this:
    The value for "Used" should be no more than about 90 percent of "Capacity." In the example image, that drive has about 34 percent of its space used and 66 percent free--more than enough. Please post what you see for your Capacity and Used numbers
    There are a few more things we might check but this is a good start.
    Awaiting your information,
    Allan

  • HP ENVY 4500 Printer Windows 10 printer wont print

    I have a HP ENVY 4500 all in one printer.  I did the windows 10 inplace upgrade.Now th printer wont print.  I dont think this is a driver issue.I get an error saying the printer is off line.  My WIFI is connected and working great.When I look at internet connections in my area My printer shows up on that list,and ask for a security code.  I think it asking for a password for the printer.I have never set one up. (FYI) I had been using this printer with Windows 8.1 andIt worked great before the windows 10 upgrade.  Do I need to set up a password for this printerTo make it work.  By the way This computer is a Dell Insperon about a year and a half old.I need to print Please Help.Thank youEarl

    I managed to fix this issue by myself.
    After hours of trying everything HP suggested on other forums with no avail I simply turned everything off (including the PC and Printer) and left it for half an hour.
    Then I turned the printer on but turned the wireless off. I then tried to print the same document from the PC (which came up with an error saying my printer needed a connection to complete) turned the wireless back on via the printer and it works! 
    Quite disappointed I seem to be having so many problems with the ENVY after all its recommendations, hopefully the issue will not return.

    Try removing and then reinstalling the Apple software using these instructions.
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    The above containes a link for XP. Also. make sure you install the correct Apple software, It comes in 32 and 64 bit and you need the one that is the same as the computer OS

  • HT1338 What is the best online storage for photos. Specifically one that allows the original image quality to be downloaded should your hard storage goes belly up

    What is the best online storage for photos. Specifically one that allows the original image quality to be downloaded should your hard storage goes belly up

    I'd put them on an external hard drive(s) and burn them to a DVD as well (at least 2 - 3 copies on different drives/media); I prefer having control and a local solution instead of relying on a server and the possibility of someone (who shouldn't be)  downloading my work.

  • On some sites we get sec_error_unknown_issuer SSL error due to missing root certificate TC TrustCenter Class 2 L1 CA XI. Firefox is the only browser having this issue. Why is that certificate not preinstalled and shipped with Firefox?

    You are not sending the TC TrustCenter Class 2 L1 CA XI intermediate certificate
    *http://sales.sauer-danfoss.com/
    Web servers need to send all required intermediate certificates to build the chain to build-in root certificates.
    You need to install that intermediate certificate on your server.

  • New 6500A Plus-set up the e-Print. to auto select photo paper like my Photosmart

    I will try this one more time.  My issue is the printer having two paper sources like the Photosmart.  One with printer paper and a small tray with photo paper and the printer knows to print photos on the photo paper.
    The question is there any way to modify the 6500 to work the same way?

    With e-Print if the photo is embedded into the body of the email then it will print on the plain paper in your printer. If you want the photo to print on photo paper then the photo must be an attachment to the email and you need to have photo paper loaded into the printer.
