6510 B211a: switching between identical 6510 B211a printers

I have 2 different places the same printers and carry a laptop Dell with OS 7. Whenever I change places I need to download a new driver to get the active printer to work. Being a newbe to this process, I accepted this as the standard, but I hope that now there is an easier way to switch connection.

Hey @Jimbo619,

Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

I understand you have two printer e-all-in-one HP Photosmart 6510 at different locations and are looking for an easier way to tell the difference between the two Photosmarts on your Windows 7 computer. I would like to help you to solve this problem today. The best way to tell the difference between the two printers and to avoid reinstallation at the different locations would be to 'Rename' printers. Then, when you at the various places you simply choose the printer that matches the name that you gave to this very spot. If that sounds confusing to you now, he must make a lot more sense at the end of this post! Can I please you follow the steps below.

Now, because you have already installed your HP Photosmart several times we will have to do an uninstall to remove all traces of the printers on the computer before you run the hotfix. In this way, you will avoid having duplicates of your printers on your system.

Step 1: Uninstall the device:

If you use a USB cable connection please disconnect this cable from the computer or the printer, everything is easier.

  1. Click on the Start menu
  2. Select all programs
  3. Select the HP folder
  4. Select your Camera HP Photosmart
  5. Select Uninstall
  6. Please follow the prompts on the screen to complete the uninstallation. Once the uninstall is complete, proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Install the device:

  1. Please click here to download the HP full feature software and driver package
  2. Once the download is complete, follow the prompts on the screen to install the first copy of your printer
  3. Once the installation is complete, click on the Start menu
  4. Select the devices and printers
  5. You should now see 1 copy of your HP Photosmart camera in this folder. Right click on The HP Photosmart camera and left click on printer properties
  6. Under the 'general' tab, you will see the name of your printer in the top. You can change the name to something that "" will tell you where is this specific. For example: HP Photosmart 6510 (office), HP Photosmart 6510 (Home), etc.
  7. Once the name of the printer has changed please click on apply and OK
  8. Close window devices and printers.

Step 3: Add the second copy to printer:

You will need to be on location with the second printer to install it correctly. If you use wired USB with second HP Photosmart please do not connect the USB cable at this time.

1. on the desktop on your Windows 7 computer, you will see the HP Photosmart Printer Wizard. It should look like this:

2. click on the HP printer Assistant to open it. When the HP printer Assistant software opens click utilities at the top tab

3. in respect of public services , click on the option of configuration of the printer and the software . Then, run the option to connect a new printer . Please follow the prompts on the screen to install the second copy of your printer.

4. Once your second copy of the printer has been installed, click on the Start menu

5. Select the devices and printers

6. now, you should see two copies of your HP Photosmart camera. Right-click on the new copy of the printer (which will not be show her updated name that you previously added to the first copy of your printer) and left click on printer properties

7. on the general tab, change the name of the second copy of your printer

8. click on apply and OK

9. closing devices and printers

Now you'll have two HP Photosmart printers installed. Two copies will have full access to your printing software and both copies will also show their names changed, so you can make the difference at the time to choose the right printer to print on.

Please let me know if this procedure works for you. Good luck!

  • iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2015) 1-2 second stops when you try to open or switch between applications

    1-2 second ago stops whenever I try to open an application or switching between applications. The animation of the application icon in the status bar at the opening of the starts, pauses for 1-2 seconds and ends before you open the application. When you click on an inactive application window it pauses for 1 to 2 seconds before making the active window. This only happens after a reboot. It takes about a day being initialized for this problem to occur.

    This does not seem like behaviour expected of such a new machine with charge card. All advice is appreciated.

    Hello Agent37,

  • Trails of the icon when switching between desktops in the Sierra

    I noticed some display problems since the update for Sierra. I see some trails icon when switching between desktop computers as well as a line of 1px of random colors on the right side of the screen seems to be leftover pixels for the desktop switch as well.

    Here is a screenshot: https://cl.ly/hegc

    Here is a video showing the paths of the icon: https://cl.ly/hef9

    Any other light this or know how to fix? It's rather annoying.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hello Brent Spore.

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how it is important to keep your Mac running properly, and I want to help him.  Whenever we see the behavior as what you described, it is a good idea to test the symptoms in a separate user in safe mode. This will help us determine if the remanence of the icon is linked to a problem with the user account or if it's a question broad system. The articles below will guide you through these steps.

    How to test a question in another account on your Mac.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

    If the ghost still occurs in safe mode, then we know it is a question broad system and I would recommend backup your Mac and Mac OS re-install using recovery, as described in the articles below:

  • Cannot switch between multiple Time Machine backups

    I generally save my 2010 Macbook Pro to a 2012 Time Capsule, which is attached to my router via an ethernet cable (most recent) wireless. On a trip, I make the additional backups on an external hard drive. However, when I go home and try to return to the TC, my internal HD is now on the time Machine "Exclude" list and cannot be removed (greyed out). When I try to save, I get a message saying "no disks are available to back up."

    What has happened a few times, and the only solution I could find was to delete my original Time Machine backup and put a new (which took forever).

    Any ideas why my HD internal is added to the exclusion list after using Time Machine with an external hard drive?

    Time Machine backups on a network drive or a disc attached locally stored in different formats. Switching between them was not in the overall theme of the design of this service of OS X.

    I suggest that you set up Time Machine to use multiple disks.

    FWIW, in my case, I backup destinations, Time Machine on a Time Capsule and an external hard drive of 2 bolt of lightning. When both are available, the time goes 'take turns' Machine backup on each drive.

    If a disk is not available, it backs up to that which is, and which ignores the backup of the other. When the two are connected again, backups continue on both.

  • Combustion chamber is very slow when switching between tabs, the legs more slowly, he gets, switching between the windows of Firefox is almost instantaneous.

    In this case all that is display of each tab. For example, if I open it, say, 8 new tabs by default it takes about 5 seconds to switch between them, although all that they show are links to my sites top of page 9. I also noticed a new tab opening takes more time more I already opened. The problem is particularly well with the tabs. Navigation is not just slower than usual and as I said above, switching between Firefox Windows in not affected.

    If it works in Mode safe mode and normal mode with all extensions (Firefox, Tools/menu key > Modules > Extensions) off and then try to find which extension is the cause by allowing an extension at a time until the problem reappears.

    Close and restart Firefox after each change via * button '3-bar' menu > exit (Power button)

    • Windows: File > Exit
    • Mac: Firefox > quit Firefox
    • Linux: File > exit
  • Can I use horizontal scroll to switch between tabs?

    I find it useful to switch between tabs with the side-scrolling my mouse wheel. Can I configure Firefox in this way?

    Apparently FireGestures doesn't support scrolling directly if you can't make it work. I have no local way to test it, because nobody doesn't know I have a mouse with a horizontal scrolling. FireGestures provides alternatives (I use the tab scrolling of line), however, and supports scripts , if you want to try to use the technical information provided by cor - el.

    One avenue would be to use the mouse like Logitech Setpoint or Microsoft Intellipoint software to set the scrolling to run the FF Ctrl + PgUp and Ctrl + PgDown hotkey combo. This would negate native scroll, however.

    You can leave your comments at https://input.mozilla.org/en-GB/feedback/ if you do not want to see this feature implemented. I think you're better of trying to get an add-on to do this though, as horizontal scrolling appears to remain a characteristic very niche.

  • Favicons repeat through tabs, behind the label text when you switch between tabs. 37.0.1 sometimes the Green scroll bar does not have too

    Please mention the attached JPEGS. When I switch between tabs, favicon image repeated behind the text. In some cases, the image of the vertical scrollbar is messed up, it cleared up when I click on it. -Does not appear to affect performance, simply annoying. Thank you!

    Please temporarily disable your Avast extension to see if it has to do with it.

    Try Firefox Mode without failure:

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

  • switch between tabs is no longer possible after update

  • How to switch between multiple windows in the same application?

    Hello

    I use OS X Capitan version 10.11.13 and I'm trying to find an easy way to switch between multiple windows in the same application by using CTRL + alt or different keys.

    Here is what I feel...

    Let's say I have Outlook, Google Chrome, Safari, iTunes and apps 'about this Mac' open.

    I open the new message window in Outlook and another Chrome window. I have therefore 2 separate windows in Outlook and Chrome.

    With that, I'm unable to move the composition and the window main outlook which is so annoying. Let's say I want to read the emails by the prospect main window and transfer of the content of the compose window! The command + tab doesn't take me to the main window of Microsoft outlook! Even if there were the last visited / applications window. This constraint is not intuitive, unless it can be configured in the settings?

    Strangely, I can't switch to the "about this Mac" window.

    The work around is to use the function (F3) mission button and click on the window, that I want to use or click the "Outlook" application on the dock icon and choose the window in the list.

    Does anyone know how switch between different windows in the same application by using a key combination or one another method other than listed above?

    Thank you

    Avinash

    In general, an Application that can open multiple windows provides a "Windows menu" you can choose the window you want.

  • Why Firefox will allow me to have several tabs, but not allow me to switch between tabs and can only watch a new tab when closing the previous?

    Everytime I open a new tab, it appears on the tab bar where it should, but if I click on it nothing happens, the tab does not open, and I can't switch between multiple tabs. The only way to get a new tab is to close one on that I am currently, and even then it will only open the next tab in the order of precedence, so I can't even choose which tab is next to see. This problem makes it impossible to use firefox as a research tool that requires quick change back and forth between pages in multiple tabs at the same time.

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

  • Why gesture to turn on my trackpad behaves not as before for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?

    Why gesture to turn on my trackpad behaves not as before for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?

    I changed the subject: config to make the rotation gesture to move between tabs and it worked great for well over a year. It now behaves properly, as described here:

    https://Bugzilla.Mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=877598

    It used to be very controllable move a tab on, now it is erratic and moves quickly and the unexpected tabs regardless of the slowness, I do the gesture of rotation. It's the main reason I use Firefox on Chrome and I will continue to do so unless there is no solution for this.

    Just put the browser.gesture.twist.threshold to something around 15-25.

  • cannot switch between iPhoto libraries

    Just recently, my mac made me create a new library for iPhoto. I don't know why, maybe my first one was overloaded, because I have a LOT of photos and videos and we used only. But after that there is a new one (which is of course empty), it won't let me come back to my old one. When I go to the tab to switch between libraries and click to choose another, I can still see my original library. But whenever I click on it to switch to him, my computer does not respond. It doesn't do anything. I think that all my old content is still on my computer, I just can't access. Can someone help me please? I have a lot of media that I need!

    1. will never be your Mac 'make' you do whatever including create a library - what exactly makes you think that the Mac done you this?

    2. what happens when you double-click the iPhoto library in your pictures folder?

    3 - what version of the operating system you have and what version of iPhoto?

  • Development of switching between desktop App

    Hey All-

    I was stuck on what seems like a simple question. I can't find a clear answer here.

    Switching between apps in different offices.

    Example:

    You will need to tilt back a lot between Safari and Photoshop.

    Each application is the only application open.

    Work in office 1 with Safari.

    Working in the office with Photoshop 3.

    I use the command + Tab.

    Working in Safari (and vice versa): using command-Tab it shows in the Menu bar which is Photoshop. But the development of the app screen does not switch on Photoshop in Desktop 3. It remains on Safari.

    This occurs with any application between desktops.

    Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    In preferences-> Mission control system you have the option "when passing to an application, switch to a space with windows open to the application" license?

  • can I have both versions installed and switch between the two

    Yes, I have several versions of firefox are installed. Firefox 3.6 is always taken in charge and course, there is the beta, the Aurora and the roads every night. I'm guessing that the other default channels install in clean places out there rather than overwrite your current installation, if not choose the custom installation option.

    This is something advanced, generally used by developers etc.

    CARE do not uninstall and take an option to remove personal settings, but that is written, as that attempts to remove all the profile data for all versions Firefox installed, you will lose the passwords and bookmarks etc..

    Use unique profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data for each version, or you will have problems.

    The Intel graphics chip, which is part of the central unit should be used for low performance applications, because it allows you to save energy and reduce the internal temperature.

    For best performance while game, it s advisable to use the external GPU (nVidia or AMD)
    This setting can be changed in the nVidia control panel s

    Here, you should choose manage them 3D settings (can be found on the left in the nVidia control panel)

    Now in the main window, you will find two global settings and program parameters tabs
    In the program settings tab, select the (game) program that needs to use the nVIdia GPU

    If it is not listed, click the Add button
    Then choose the graphic processor preferred for this program (generally must be nVidia processor high performance)
