Windows 7 home premium-3210 aio photos are printing grainy. this problem just started
just started to see that photos printed are grainy. not noticable prior to this date.
Hello @465pittsburgh , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are running into photo issues. I would like to help.
I would recommend removing the cartridges, and performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would then recommend this document on Printed Colors Are Not the Colors Expected.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Can I change the OS of Touchsmart 610 from Windows Home Premium to Windows 7 Pro?
I have 610 1100me system loaded with Windows Home Premium 64 bit. We bought it from Dubai and is in use in Pakistan. It started giving problems after few weeks of use. Its' hard disk makes noise and sometimes, system could not find boot disk. Most of the times blue screen of death and hanging issues. Any idea about this issue and how to fix it? My observation is that the culprit is hard disk!
Also, can I change its OS to Windows 7 Pro or ultimate (32 or 64 bit)? Where can I find all drivers for Pro or Ultimate?
Many thanks for your valueable advice.
Regards,
KK
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi,
Nearly nothing change interms of drivers required for Windows 7 (HP, Pro, Ultimate) unless you switch from 64 to 32 bit. You can reuse your current HP 64 bit drivers for 64 bit W7 Pro or Ultimate.

How do I re install windows home premium OA?
I had windows home premium OA on my computer , but I believe it was accidentally uninstalled from my hard drive. I have the product key that is on my computer. I was having trouble finding the correct link to reinstall it on my lap top.
When I went to the microsoft Website all I found was support for windows 8 . Can you give help me with the proper link? thank youPlease provide the manufacturer and model of your pc.
It is possible you have a hidden recovery partition on your hard drive which may be used instead of a recovery disk to restore your system (and Windows) to factory defaults.
Recovery procedures vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
You should also search for any recovery disk/s that were supplied with your pc. Manufacturers invariably charge a significant fee to supply replacements.
If you decide to use borrowed/downloaded media to reinstall Windows on an OEM pc, the process may not be straightforward. Without some experience and patience you may end up with no other option than to pay a professional to finish the job.
Microsoft does not publicly provide download links for Windows. While you may stumble upon an official download source, beware that many unofficial sources will come pre-loaded with viruses, trojans etc. -
Hi, I use Aperture 2.1.4 to edit my photos and my imac is running OSX 10.6. I have recently purchased an EPSON Artisan 730 and am not sure what I am doing wrong but my photos are printing darker than they appear on the screen.
The setting in Aperture are
Paper size: 10x15cm
Orientation: landscape
Colorsync profile: PX830 730 Artisan837 730 Epson glossy
Black point compensation not ticked
gamma: 1.0
sharpen amount: 0
sharpen radius: 0
scale to: fill entire page
print resolution: use best dpi ticked
Please can you offer any suggestions or point me in the right direction.
ThanksLéonie kindly asked me to add to your thread. Other than the links you'll find in the post of mine to which Léonie already linked (I don't sense that you've read them), I can make the strong suggestion that you upgrade Aperture to the current version (and upgrade to 10.6.8 or 10.7.x, too). Apple has been steadily working on color and luminance fidelity (it's a difficult problem), and has made significant changes to the rendering of Images in the OS and in Aperture.
It is odd that you made no changes in the software calibration process. Redo it?
Here are some general considerations to be aware of:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17216135#17216135
And an even shorter summary here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17539316#17539316
Don't be overly discouraged by the complexity of the topic. With some work you should be able to get reliably close. Whether "close" is close enough is for you to say.
I print (to Epson Printers, but that shouldn't matter) with "Rendering Intent" set to "Perceptual", and "Black Point compensation" checked. The second is perhaps impossible to ascertain, but the first should change the luminance distribution visibly (depends on the photo). These, however, are refinements. You have to get "close" first.
Here is the first thing to check after confirming that your printer is working properly (sorry for quoting myself):
The quick answer -- now that you've got this far -- is set your monitor brightness to something that appears gray rather than light. This is probably close to the middle of the available range, and two or three steps lower than you might chose for comfortable viewing. Implicit in that is that what is best for editing photos is often different from what is best for doing other work on a computer.

Photos are printing completely black?!
I have an HP D110 printer and an iPad running iOS 4.3.1. When using AirPrint to print photos, the photos are printing completely black. I restored the factory settings on the printer. Emails are printing fine using AirPrint. So far neither HP or Best Buy has been of any assistance. Please let me know if anyone has experienced this.
Does AirPrint allow you to manipulate printer settings on the iPad? Are emails in black and white only? Have you tried printing an email with something colored in it like text, or an avatar, or something? If emails aren't printing color, or can only be printed in black in white, the printer isn't getting the message to use color and is just blasting out the black ink. Somewhere there has to be a step you are missing (obviously) that should fix this. Dumb question, but you do have colored ink in the printer, right?

Using Lightroom for Windows 8.1 with Epson Stylus Photo R3000 printer.
Using Lightroom for Windows 8.1 with Epson Stylus Photo R3000 printer. From PRINT section, if I click either "Page Setup" or "Printer" I get the Epson printer dialog box, drill down, change settings- so far so good. When I'm finished with the settings and close the dialog box (hit OK) the print job starts immediately; I never get a chance to hit the Lightroom "Print" button. Question: does this bypass any Lightroom processing or control of the print job?
Even if I just click the Printer button to verify my settings I should then return to Lightroom, and then click Print to start the job. This does not happen, the job starts as soon as I close the properties dialog box. Again, is any Lightroom processing or control being bypassed because of this?

I connected my sons Ipod Touch to my pc and it worked fine. Now, when I try to connect my iPad the following message comes up: One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.
I checked the cable. It surely is not the cable. If I connect the iPod again it works fine. If I use the same cable with my pc and ipad at work or my other son’s laptop, it is working perfectly. It is only on my laptop where the iPod was connected. Something tells me it got something to do with the drivers that went corrupt or something when I connected the iPod.
I searched the internet and I see a lot of people gets this message. Still no solved answers yet. Is there a place where I can download the drivers again or any other suggestions?

Kind regards,I was hoping it would be something like a USB device conflict, but now the shuffle is the only thing connected...

Under Part 9. Verify that USB drivers are installed, did you try the steps in If only "Unknown Device" appears? That appears to be your situation.
Also, you said that the shuffle initially worked well enough to do a sync, then it had the same problem again. If you can get it to work again initially, before doing anything else, try the following. Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Summary tab. By default, the checkbox for Enable disk use should be unchecked. If so, check it and Apply the change. See if that makes any difference.
(If Enable disk use was already checked, try unchecking it and Apply the change. Basically, set it the "other way" and see if there is any improvement.)
NOTE: When disk use is enabled, you have to eject the iPod in iTunes before disconnecting it physically.
If the disk use change makes a difference, that may provide a clue about the actual cause. -

My iPad will black out, then go to the home page while viewing an app, anyone else have this problem? Do I have to replace it?
What version ipad and which version ios are you using?
Try this:
Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute). -
All my pdf are printing mirror image since i started the subscription for adobe
all my pdf are printing mirror image since i started the subscription for adobe
Hi pintu777,
I see that you just got an ExportPDF subscription. That shouldn't have any affect on the way that your PDF files are printing. Has anything else changed on your system? What are you printing to and from (Reader or Acrobat)? Do other types of files print mirrored as well?
I look forward to hearing back from you with a few more details. We'll get this sorted out.
Best,

My images will not show in the Finder Pictures folders, but just display as jpeg thumbnails. I have to open each one to see what photo it is. This has just recently started to happen.
I made sure the 'Show Icon Preview' box was checked. This is about all I can do, really, Frank, as i don't know enough about the workings of these machines to start fiddling about.
Strangely the images show as previews in some folders, yet not in others, even though they come from the same sources (my camera and my phone).
