• HP printer prints 5740 too dark on my Mac

  Impressions are very dark. Is there a way to alleviate the trials of the Mac computer? I don't want to use a card or car for the thumb. I want to print from my computer.

  Thanks for the reply @Noelleinazquick,.

  The only parameters that I could find on Mac 10.10 which would reduce the ink usuage would be located on the selection screen of paper Type/quality.

  Paper type - make sure it is not set on Photo paper

  Quality - you can reduce this project that uses the least possible ink

  Under Color Options - you can also change these settings;

  Color: Gray... will use the color ink little but especially black

  Grayscale: black ink only (Please Note: this setting always uses the absolute minimum color ink to prevent bleeding ink on the page.)

  

  If you want to save these settings, you can configure a preset print setting. You can see how Save a preset here.

  Please let me know if any of these steps has resolved your problem, or if there is anything else I can do to help.

  I look forward to hear from you!

  Thank you

  Hey @jmichaelmcf,

  I see you have some problems with your Mac OSX 10.11 machine printing to your Officejet 5740 e-all-in-one printer. I can help you with that.

  To start, make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet, not a surge protector. Once done:

  1. Turn off the printer and the Mac.
  2. While the devices are turned off, disconnect the power cable from the back of the router for a minute.
  3. When the lights come back on the router, turn on the printer and the Mac.
  4. On your Mac, click on your Apple icon, system preferences and printers and Scanners.
  5. Hold down the CTRL key and click the icon of your printer on the left.
  6. Click on reset printing system.
  7. Click on the button "+" at the bottom left.
  8. In the window that appears, select your printer in the list.
  9. Click in the box next to and select your printer from the list.

  Please let me know the results of the rest of the foregoing. If you are able to print, click on accept solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. The two icons are below this post.

• OfficeJet 5740: officejet 5740 connectivity

  I can't my Officejet to work with a Windows 7 PC 5740 connected network. The printer works very well with a Mac, a machine to win 10 and my iphone. Print and scan the doctor shows no error, but no test page prints. The internal test page prints correctly. There is that no error then no installation, printer is recognized, but simply, it will not be printed. I tried to disable antivirus and firewall without result. I uninstalled, reinstalled several times. Other suggestions are welcome as I am at my wits end. Thank you.

  Problem has been resolved. Recommended by HP support officer to try another driver as the driver 5740. The other driver to a different printer corrected the problem.

• OfficeJet 5740: Install a printer on a network of schools wireless

  Hello

  I started school this past week and I brought an Officejet 5740 to implement in my dorm, but I had trouble getting it set up. MY laptop is on the network "(University)", but I was tasked to set up the printer on a network called "Device-(University)" and would continue to operate. I have registered my printer on the network "Device-(University)" also using its MAC address, which I was told was also necessary. After all that, I'm still not able to print wireless. I tried to restart the printer, reset the network settings and remove all software printer on my computer and starting from scratch, but nothing has worked.

  If someone has encountered this problem, and if so, is anyone know a solution?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  You can also connect to the printer using the WiFi Direct connection.

  This type of connection (Wifi Direct) connects your camera/laptop Wifi directly on your printer and requires no Wifi router and is the best way that I would use as LONG as I didn't need to keep connecting to the Wifi network router for surfing.

  Also remember to reconnect to your network of WIFI router to get internet connection after printing.

  The password to connect to your Wifi Direct printer is in the display on the front panel of the printer, or you must print it with the WIFi button for 3 sec.

  I hope this helps.

• OfficeJet 5740: Warning of false 'out of paper' Officejet 5740

  When you print from iPad or phone using AirPrint, Airprint menu displays the message 'printer is out of paper' whenever the JO 5740 is selected, and yet the printer is full and prints normally without worrying. On Mac, printing queue always shows "paper tray is empty", still prints normally anyway. He did it since the first time I ever printed on it. I did an online chat with the help of HP, and the representative concluded that the printer was defective. I switched the printer at the store that I bought it since then, and the second printer does exactly the same thing from the moment I plugged it. The printer itsself never shows a warning of paper output. Removal and replacement of paper do not help. In any case, I'm wireless printing. Please note, that the printer WON'T pick up the paper and print normally; It is just falsely indicating one out of paper.

  Jac I found this on my own. HP was going to replace this printer because they concluded that it was defective. However, it works as expected! This printer has two paper, one for plain paper trays and one for paper photo 4 x 6. Because I do not print photos, I didn't load the photo tray. Thus, each device notified me that the printer is in paper. All I had to do was load the paper picture sample provided with the printer and the BAM!, no more message. I can't believe I spent an hour on the phone with the help of HP check of the cables, reinstall the drivers, reconfiguring wireless, move the printer closer to the router, blah, blah. They don't even know their own products.

• HP Officejet want 5740: HP Envy does not print from the photo tray

  All of a sudden the printer refuses to print from the print bed.  I sat down today and photos of 4 x 6 successfully printed iPhoto.  When I went the second impression, it would only print from the paper tray.  All the settings are correct.  The window of the printer poster paper in all trays of correct size.  The printer settings are correct. I tried to restart the computer to reset, but in vain.

  Hi @KarenPM,

  I understand that you are having problems to print from the photo tray. I can help you with this.

  I would like to do a hard reset to see if that will solve the problem.
  Let the printer and disconnect the printer cable and the wall socket for 60 seconds.
  Reconnect the power cable to the output of the printer and the wall, and not a surge protector.
  This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

  Here are the steps to print the photos. HP ENVY 5540, 5570 Deskjet and Officejet 5740 - print photo printers.

  If you're still having problems, it may be a damaged printer driver, try the following:

  Fix permissions of the drive on the Mac:

  Close all applications.

  In the Apple menu, click OK, click Applications, and then click utilities.

  Double-click disk utility.

  Highlight your hard drive / partition on the left.

  Click on check and then repair disk permissions.

  Restart the computer...

  Reset the printing system:

  Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer deleted can be re-added later by clicking the sign plus (+) symbol.

  Click on the Apple icon and then click on System Preferences.

  Click on Printers & Scanners.

  Make a right click (or Ctrl + click) in the left white side panel, and then click Reset printing system.

  Click OK to confirm the reset.

  Type the name and the correct password.

  Click OK to reset the printing system.

  Then click on the sign to add the driver, highlight the printer +. (you may need to click the drop down menu to select the name of the printer) Then click the Add button.

  Try another application to see if you have the same results.

  How is the printer connected? (USB, Ethernet, WiFi)

  If you have any questions, please let me know what steps you have taken and the results. Thank you.

• print from my Mac

  When you try to print a document of 3 pages of my computer, my ENVY 7645 select all pages, only print Page 1. When I try to select, say, page 2 and press on print, I receive a message that no page has been selected to print even if I chose «from page 2 to page 2»

  Hi @tposh,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I understand that you cannot print from your Mac OS X 10.10 to your printer HP Envy 7645. I'm happy to help you!

  To get help, I'll need to know:

  1. If the printer is connected, USB, Ethernet, or wireless.
  2. If the printer is able to make copies. Copy of the Documents or photos with a HP ENVY 5640 5660, 7640 e - all - in - one, HP Officejet 5740 and 8040 e - all-in - One Printer Series.
  3. If the power cable is connected to a surge protector, or directly to a wall outlet. Questions when it is connected to an uninterruptible power supply/Strip/surge protector power. This is true for printers and ink jet.

  In the meantime, please have a look through this guide, "Printer is off-line" Message appears on the computer and the printer does not print: Mac OS X. Select v10.8 Mountain Lion OS X and OS X v10.9 Mavericks and follow these steps as they will work on Mac OS X 10.10.

  Hope this guide helps and hope to hear from you soon!

• OfficeJet 5740: Photo printing is spread

  Using glossy HP with the new printer, we could not print photos without them being spread.  We have tried to use my Mac and my husband using Windows 10 Dell.  Both created smeared, wet photos.

  It prints photos on paper.  But we have problems with the Glossy Advanced photo paper that was INCLUDED in the box with the printer.

  @Cici1

  Printer:

  E-all-in-one printer, HP Officejet 5740 range

  The User Guide lists this article - see Chapter 2, page 8

  It is assumed that the document provided with the printer is intended to be used in your type of printer:

  Thermal inkjet Drop-on-demand printing

  If, by chance, the book is actually for a Laser printer - the label on the packaging of paper would indicate this - then the printer would probably have problems with the paper.

  Glossy paper is picky - if you don't have already done:

  • Make sure that your paper Type / quality - definition of type of media is suitable for this article.

• OfficeJet 5740: officejet 5740 - scan of the computer cannot be activated - cause communication error

  2 weeks ago, I bought a HP officejet 5740 - installed the software and everything worked well. Unfortunately, the printer is dead, and I just got a new.  In order to start to 'clean up', I removed all HP on the Mac software - and then installed the printer. I can print - and scan using progtram analysis. The printer is connect via ethernet.

  This left me with 2 numbers

  (1) for installation, Setup fails when I reached the setting of alerts (communication error - please restart the program) try to configure alerts in HP utility fail - even once to the criticism fail - restart program

  (2) I'm not able to activate the scan of the computer on the Mac.  I get "communication failed" when I try to turn on the feature in HP utillity

  What I tried

  Delete all HP software (several times) and reinstall it again - still the same problem

  I removed the HP software and used the diskutillity to fix the rights - and reinstalled him brand new - still same problem.

  I have reset the printingsystem on the mac - still the same problem

  I still think it's weird - because everything worked great with the first printer I had! -replace it with a similar one caused the problem.  And this isn't the printer - because scan to computer works with my wife PC

  I have run out of ideas - and hopes that someone can solve this problem!

  Thank you for your reply - the problem is now resolved.  It seems that when you run Uninstall HP also something with the printerdrives provided by Apple update. I noticed that version 3.1 was installed on March 2, when I installed the first printer, I bought (the one who broke down) in all my tests, uninstalling and installing the drivers, I have checked apple update, it says no new updates, but last night he said suddenly that there was an update and then it reienstalled the 3.1 drivers HP again - and surpirice the problem has been solved.

  Thank you for your quick response!

• 5740 OfficeJet All in One: 5740 printer OfficeJet connects but scanner is not on the wireless network.

  Hello

  I recently bought the above printer and the printer connected most of the time, the scanner becomes more reluctant on my wireless network.

  I just printed a document yet when I try to analyze only one or two seconds later I said it has not detected to scan. I don't know how the device connects - but because the printer connects OK probably is not a wireless connection / router issue?

  The only solution I found to this problem is to restart my system which is quite frustrating and not an acceptable response to long term. When I do this the scanner seems to operate normally, at least for a while.

  I installed all the software from the Web site, including the HP utility - yet I am also told that "computer scan can not be activated" because the software is not found - which is strange, because I installed all the software available.

  Any suggestions?

  Hey there @gggdfsdfsdaf!

  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  I would be happy to provide you with some suggestions on the 5740 Officejet and its communication of scanning.  There may be a slight problem with the software.  I suggest you uninstall the HP software.  Once the software uninstalled I recommended to perform a "repair disk permissions" on your Mac.  A repair disk permissions is a utility built into the operating system Mac designed to detect and resolve problems or errors. After that permission to repair disc is finished, reboot your Mac computer and re-install the software.

  To uninstall the HP software, click: uninstall the HP software

  To perform a repair authorization disk click here: repair disk permissions

  To download the Officejet 5740 software, click here: 5740 Officejet full feature and driver software

  After the installation I recommend that you check the software updates on the Mac.  To search for software updates, click the icon "Apple" to the left and click on the "app store".  In the app store, you can click on the "updates" at the top of the window.  Updates install and Hp or a printer.  After the update, you must restart the computer.

  You can also launch scans of an application on the mac, called 'Image Capture'.  For Image Capture click "Spot Light" (magnifying glass) in the upper right of the Mac.  Image capture type and it should appear as one of the first options.  Open Image capture and on the left side of the window should display your scanner.  The scanner can be listed under 'shared '.  Select your scanner and you should have the options and settings on the right side for scanning.

  Please post back and let me know if this worked for you!

• OFFICEJET 5740 E: can not scan to my Macbook Pro with my new HP Officejet 5740 e

  Just installed my new all-in-one printer. I can't scan to my computer, a Macbook Pro. Can I not activate "Scan to computer", although I have confirmed that I have the latest software and drivers.

  Not impressed I must say!

  JFM2015

  Hello JFM2015 ,

  Welcome to the HP Forums.

  I see you have some sweeping problems when you try to scan to your Mac.

  I suggest that we start from scratch.

  Unplug the usb cable from the Mac and printer and leave that it disconnected until further notice.

  The first link that I have for you give instructions on How to reset the printing system.

  The next step we will do is to repair disk permissions.

  Once the first two steps are completed, we then go and will download and install the 5740 Officejet HP e-All-in-One Printer full feature software and drivers series.

  Installation will give you options of connection so please do not connect cables until you are prompted to do so.

  Write me back and let me let you know.

  See you soon,.
