envy7640: want 7640 printer does not print photos on plain paper

All of a sudden, I can't print a picture on plain paper - guard asks me to load the photo paper tray, even though preferences set for plain paper printing and plain paper is selected in the print window.  (These are not photos but documents scanned in JPEG format by others, so I just want what they free paper).  Regular printing and all other functions work fine.

First of all, I use pictures of MS Office or Windows Photo Viewer Manager or just called photo library.  All three seem to be essentially the same program with different names and are pretty basic.

The setting in my default printer via control center/devices/Printers Windwos options has always been the main tray (and has always been), so I thought that everyone must be thin and thought why this person tell me to do what I've done?

So I dug deep into the programs print options and indeed saw the photo tray has been chosen.  The real mystery is how, in these programs, the status bar setting went from main to photo. I did that, and I don't see how he could have accidentally changed. You see, I have photos properly printed on plain paper before using these programs, so I know - now - that they should have been put to the main tray.  Maybe I'll never know.

But no matter, you answer prompted me to explore more deeply, and voila, all is well now.

Thank you.

    Contact the society of the printer.  There is nothing that Microsoft or Windows, can do to force the printer to accept a type of paper, though it says it will not accept it.

    Hello notnewbee,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    You do not give the model of your printer/scanner/fax machine so I can't direct you to the website of the manufacturer of specifc. However, I would
    you go to the website of the manufacturer of your printer and download the latest drivers for Windows 7. Sometimes, if you use a driver that is not intended for your operating system, then your device can operate and install, but some features may not work.

    If they do not have an updated driver, then try the compatibility mode for Windows XP and see if your printer will work correctly.
    The information below will show you how you can make older programs run on Windows 7 here.

    If please reply back and let us know if this helps solve your problem or if you still need help.

  • At the opening of the library of photos, each photo turn the black thumbnail and so that to open it.  Preview also does not have photos properly.  I tried to repair the library and this did not help.  Help, please!

    At the opening of the library of photos, each photo turn the black thumbnail and so that to open it.  Preview also does not have photos properly.  I tried to repair the library and this did not help.  Could this be a problem with the RAM? Help, please!

    Check, if pictures can access the original files of your pictures, or if the originals are missing.

    You can test to try to edit a photo or trying to export it with "file > export > export original file..."

    Photos can be edited or exported?

    Shooting Raw or JPEG?  Where your photo library is stored? On an external disk or in your pictures folder?

  • Why iMovie does not recognize photos in projects?

    Why iMovie09 does not recognize photos in projects?

    I made a new projects and adds several still images. Photos are displayed in the project field, but right the screen remains black.

    I checked one of my old projects with still frames that will work perfectly, but it has the same problem - the photos do not appear on the screen more.

    Is there something that can be done? I also noticed that I can't get iPhoto to iMovie to add photos, not more, and Photo Booth is available.

    An iMovie11 upgrade would solve the problem? I do not have doen that, due to the large amount of results negative comments on iMovie 11 receipt.

    This is a bug widely reported with iMovie versions 8 or 9 ('09 or 11) under El Capitan.  Only iMovie 10.1.1 works 100% on El Capitan.

    Hello again-

    I am pleased to learn that the passage is a practical solution for you.

    The other possible solution which seemed to be a finding a setting under print quality-> Optimize-> light Media and put on IT.

    I don't have a CM6040MFP to check this setting, but it's just an alternative to consider.

    Personally I have found that a high coverage near the leading edge of the media, some printers can sometimes cause an increased rate of jam.  So I think that your shift is a viable solution.

    Good luck!

  • HP Envy 7640: Printing photos

    I am trying to print photos using the main tray with plain paper and it will not be printed.  He tells me to load paper into the photo tray.  I've tried which as well and it still does not.  But I want to print from the main tray.

    Hi @TRG8,

    Thanks for joining the Forums of HP Support for a solution to your printing problem.

    I understand that you use a HP ENVY 7640 e-all-in-one printer with a Windows XP computer and you were trying to print photos from the main tray on plain paper, but the software tells you to load paper into the photo tray, which you did, but it still does not work. I would like to help with that.

    It looks like a problem of printer settings as perhaps you do not have the main tray selected as the input source, but try to download and run the HP print and Scan Doctor to see if everything is OK with the drivers and the software of the printer.

    If the HP print and Scan Doctor detects no problem, it is perhaps a matter of settings. Here is a document of support that can help ensure the setting of the impression are set the way you need them - Print Photos. On the Paper Type/quality tab, that you want to make sure that the main tray is selected as the Paper Source, or Photo tray if you want to print on photo paper.

    Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance.

  • Example: Want 5532: print photos with red stripes through them

    I have a printer Envy 5532. If I print from an sd picture card print ok, copy a photo directly from the scanner prints perfectly, but if I print photos already stored on my computer they thin red lines randomly through them.

    Hello

    Thank you for your response. Now, I found that my problem was actually confused by a number of coincidences.

    I install the printer and run test print page & copied from the scanner and printing from an sd card until the problem of the "band" appeared. When I tried to print from a photo already stored on the computer, it was when he showed first really upward. I ran the Print Tool of doctor and no problems have been reported. Similarly, the printed test page seemed ok even though of course only small colored sections there. Finally, after running test after test, the ink ran out and I had to put in a new cartridge - Eureka! problem disappeared.

    I find, therefore, that I had a faulty cartridge that was causing the problem. I have since run a photo on the 'best quality' on Photo paper and it looks perfect. The high price of the cartridges, it was a costly exercise, but at least I'm now able to print my photos which is what I bought it for.

    Lagartija.

  • HP Envy 7640: HP Envy 7640 Scanner does not work.

    I got a new printer HP Envy 7640. Prints beautifully, but the scanner does not work. I can not make copies, I can't scan something and send it by e-mail or save it in my flash drive, and of course I can't print with my hp pc. I followed the instructions I found in the doctor but it does not work either. I followed the instructions I found on this forum and it does not work either. What can I do?

    I had to go back, because the scanner came broken from the factory. Then they gave me another printer and has so far been working well. Thank you.

    On the powers and control panel displays, but when touch none of the controls (copy, fax, scan, etc.), nothing happens.  I can print and scan from my computer. The wireless light when connected to WiFi.

    I tried to turn the power off and then turn it on. Once again, the Panel lights up, but does not. Software/firmware update. Fax Test reports pass in all areas.

    Powered on, unplug the unit from the wall. Wait 10 minutes. Reconnect the unit to the wall outlet with no power strip or surge protector. Unit of power on if it is not lit. Status now?
