Auto update on photosmart 6520... Normal?

Just recently bought a photosmart 6520 and I'm running OS X 10.9.4 Mavericks.  Printer works fine, no problems that I can see and I have printed a lot of things.  I set it up to print wireless also.  While preparing to print a document today the printer starts to download something (software? virus?) by itself.  The printer display only says "Download" and after about 15 seconds of download it restarted itself.  Is this normal Download automatic?  How can I know what it downloaded?  Again, the printer made on its own.  I don't have any update prompt to update software or download to occur.  Any expert person there with an answer?   Help, please.

Hello

Yes it is normal, but I prefer the HP to inform users and allow users to accept or decline updates.

Kind regards.

  • updates failed every night for Hewlett Packard Imaging printing HP Photosmart 6520 series NULL

    Since I have my printer photosmart 6520 02/12/2012 every night he's trying to update Hewlett Packard photosmart HP 6520 series print NULL Imaging... .and it fails every time.  I have a desktop HP P 7 1010 and since I got a new printer, I have an exclaimation point on my computer and it says the problems and when you do it it's is not drivers and it shows NO FIXED.  When you close the session at night, he tries to update the NULL characters again and it fails every time.  I spoke with people from your service many times for more than an hour and they can't solve the problem.  Help, please

    I did some research on the problem of another user, and looks like it's just a ghost update.  Basically, an update 'ghost' is an update that was for the device, but unit has newer drivers which causes the update failing to keep.  The only thing you can do is to hide the update, or ignore it.  Windows will continue to try to push it, but your printer does not need it.  If she didn't need the update, it would install right.  You can find the thread where I helped another user below.  I hope this helps.

    Hey @TraceyMac,

    Welcome to the Forum from HP Support.  I hope you enjoy your experience here.

    I understand that you are unable to use the pads (Print Apps) on your HP Photosmart 6520 e-all-in-one printer.  I want to help you with this.  A recent installation of printer would not affect your performance of platelets but no loss of connection or wireless Web services could be a factor.

    Note that to access the applications and their use from the front panel of your printer requires two ingredients to be successful: 1) Wi - Fi connection and 2). the ePrint feature (webservices are enabled).

    • Touch the wireless icon () on the front panel of your printer - is the printer connected to your wireless network?  (If not, run the wireless configuration wizard, select your network name/SSID and enter your password wireless reconnect).  If you are connected, proceed as explained below.
    • Tap the icon of webservices/ePrint () on the front panel of your printer.
    • If webservices are not enabled, press OK in order to enable them and allow the automatic updates of printers.
    • This will cause your printer to print an information document describing the characters before @hpeprint.com your printer (ePrint address).  This is known as the claim code.  As another way to use printing applications available for your printer, you can sign in to http://www.hpconnected.com to program applications printing to print and review all the content that ideally will reappear on the front of your printer.
    • From there, you can click the devices tab and use the claimcode to add your printer to the site and take advantage of the available applications, it.

    If these basic steps to respond to a resolution, please, try the following:

    When users encounter this type of problem in general, I suggest from scratch with wireless printer, webservices, and apps printing configuration.  You can clear all of these parameters in a swoop by the factory default restore * your printer.

    Here's how:

    * Note that this step resets the setting up your printer wireless, address ePrint and other custom print settings. If you have created a custom address @hpeprint.com it is permanently erased. For more information about custom addresses ePrint, click here.

    • Front panel of the printer, arrow down and select Tools
    • Select restore default

    Then touch the wireless icon, run the Wireless Setup Wizard to restore your network connection, and then tap the Webservices () and reactivate your webservices.

    If you are able to successfully reactivate your webservices, tap on the icon of your printer wireless () and make a note of the IP address of the printer.  Then, follow these steps to configure a manual DNS:

    • Enter the printer's IP address in a web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer) and press ENTER to go directly to this page.
    • Click the network tab.
    • In the submenu on the left, click Networking.
    • Then click on the network (IP) address.
    • Click Manual DNS server.
    • DNS preferred as 8.8.8.8 manual entry
    • Auxiliary DNS server entry as 8.8.4.4
    • Click on apply to finalize this change.

    No none of the suggestions above restored the functionality you're looking for?  Please let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post.  If I helped you to solve the problem, feel free to say "You rock!" by clicking the "Thumbs Up" icon below and by clicking to accept this solution.

  • Photosmart 6520: Photosmart 6520, plain paper, quick project

    during the last eighteen months, I did most of my black and white and color printing "pre-printed, quick project" under Presets. I also had the possibility of Photo paper, plain paper, Best Paper and plain black and white. I went on vacation and since returning I lost this election. I now have the choice of the project B & W B & W or color (sic!)

    Printing on plain paper, quick project is ideal for most of my impression that frequently included spot color. In order to print anything with color now, I have to use a lot more ink. I'm assuming that something has been updated while I was away, I can turn the clock back? I use Microsoft Office for Mac on an iMac and MacBook Pro. On the MacBook, the printer is Photosmart 6520 series but grayed out and Photosmart 6520 series (5AE5SCE), which is what shows on my iMac. (I got the MacBook Pro with me on vacation) Help please.

    Oops, sorry for the confusion...

    Just keep the color and enable Fas project listed, plain paper should already be default, or you can select in the form, then save the settings as the required preset.

    Kind regards

  • Photosmart 6520: can't get 2 sides Preset to save

    I use this printer connected by USB to an iMac running OS 10.9.5,, but this isn't a new problem.

    I want to print my bank statements using this configuration: double-sided and odd pages only.  I can't get this save as preset. It seems that when I try to save the current settings as a preset, the margins of Destination Size:U.S Two-Sided Letter paper nor the duplex option are registered.  I also tried to use Long Edge binding and which will not save either.  The same problem occurs if I print in a Safari window or if I save the document in PDF format and try to print from an excerpt.

  • PhotoSmart 6520: unable to connect to the site w / wireless

    I recently had an unsolvable problem with my Photosmart 6520 involving his inabilaty to print photos.  It has now almost completely off.  I use it with my desktop (using WIN XP) and two other laptops in the House (the one with WIN 7, the other with 8)

    Last week, we noticed that it's no longer access wireless.  The two laptops showed that it among their devices, but he showed in offline mode.  After being unable to reset it online, I deleted the WIN phone 7 to to see if I could find him.  He is unable to do so.  The machine to WIN 8 had no better luck.

    I don't know if the two problems are related, and while I rarely print from the laptop, I'm worried that it may be symptomatic of a breakdown coming in the opposite direction.

    Earlier today, he gave a paper size mismatch message when I tried to run a normal report for the main tray.  I ran diagnostics on this topic and got to resume printing, but I see the smear of ink on the edges of a few leaves.

    The unit is a little less than two years.  Should I waive this subject, or is - this salvagable?

    Hello @PFR443,

    I understand that, as well as a print quality problem, you are also not able to print wirelessly with your all-in-one Photosmart HP 6520. Now, I previously working with you on the following thread: Photosmart 6520 refuses to print photos and had exhausted all efforts to solving the problems with you. In the end, I had to refer you to our queue of Technical Support for the hardware support that your product has met a hardware failure, from which it cannot recover from.

    Part of our troubleshooting was to run a semi Full Reset. We had done that on March 2, 2015. If you remember, this semi Full Reset resets all the settings of your printer. This includes wireless information. Therefore, the wireless feature will need to be reconfigured from scratch on your product. The printer should also be added to each computer that you use with to re-establish the wireless connection.

    If you still want to attempt to reconfigure and reinstall your printer wireless, I can provide you with these steps. But your product is defective. Therefore, things will continue to act on you until you get that fix the printer or replace it with another model.

    Please let me know if you want to continue troubleshooting wireless. I look forward to hear from you!

  • HP Photosmart 6520 "printer assistant" will not work

    I installed the software of the printer Photosmart 6520 without error during installation. When I double click the icon of HP Photosmart 6520 series on my desktop to run the 'printer' Wizard nothing happens. Other than the printer works very well. I'm running Windows XP, one a computer HP Pavilion 7360.

  • Photosmart 6520 does not print wireless

    Hello
    Previously, the printer was very good in all aspects, including wireless printing. But now it will not print from an iPad iOS 8 or a computer laptop windows 8. It printed before the iPad even on. Same iOS software 8 - so I can confirm it wasn't the iOS update 8 that caused the problem. The same goes for the laptop - it long before print with it on the same operating system. On the iPad, it is not saved as an AirPrint printer and the laptop, he says he is "offline." I think the problem is, therefore, with the printer - if she says it is online and connected to our home WiFi (same as the iPad and the laptop is connected to) or iPad, or laptop can connect or register that it's there.
    You can only print wirelessly with the printer (without option of thread) so I had to do the tedious job of printing with Direct wireless. When I do this it's fine, but it takes a while and I could instead just print over WiFi at home.
    Any suggestions? I have already disconnected the printer and WiFi and then reconnected (set the password to new etc).
    Very grateful for any help. -Louisa

    Hello LouisaD,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that recently you have not been able to print to the Photosmart 6520 an iPad or computer in Windows 8, but you can connect to wireless Direct the printer and print. I also agree that a problem is not present on the iPad or computer, but since it can print with direct wireless connection, I do not have a problem with the printer either.

    I linked these two documents: "Printer is off-line" Message appears on the computer and the printer will not print: Windows 8 & Printing Over a Wireless Network with AirPrint FAQ Apple (what happens if you see a "No AirPrint Printers Found" message on my device Apple?), because they deal with the basics and help determine if the network is originally a block.

    Let me know the results in detail the best possible, and we will discuss later in this if the problem is not resolved.

    See you soon,.
