• HP photosmart pro b8350 print Windows 7 x 64 not available automatic duplex unit

  I bought a photosmart pro b8350 back in 2006 or so to use on my XP64 system and added the print front and back in a short time module after. I upgraded to Windows 7 Professional 64 over a year ago and just recently installed the printer. I can't use the automatic duplex with the built-in driver option. I need to print a quantity just now that I have it back up and duplex printing automatically has been pretty well a need, as I have to leave the system unattended while I work on other projects. I really need to manually duplex everything now? If I switch to a new printer in the near future, he will also lose the functionality in the next years? I still can't use the advanced features of my scanjet 8300 that I bought in 2006, either. The driver has never fully supported XP64.

  Hello

  Maybe it's a bug in Windows 7. The duplexor is reported as not installed by default, so you need to change this

  Go to the Control Panel, find the devices and printers, then click on it. Then right click on your printer icon and choose 'printer properties '. In the new screen go to the "Device settings" tab and under "automatic duplex print unit" set installation options on installed. Should be on is not installed by default, so change installed, then click on apply. Restart the software and perhaps even your computer and check that duplex printing is an option now.

  Hey @Kaytee68,

  Please get back to me regarding this issue of the paper. Due to the age of your printer I don't have not access to one in fact resemble the back of the printer and look at the rollers to check what is normal to see or not.  By saying so, I cross reference to what you have explained to this image.

  

  It seems that there should be 4 rollers rubber at the back of the printer. It is possible that if one of your rolls is missing it can result in paper or power problems another paper. The rollers are not replaceable parts. Therefore, if a roll must be defective, and because of the performance issues with your product a replacement of the entire unit would be necessary.

  Because you have exhausted the troubleshooting steps for the same problem that I previously provided, the next step would be to replace the printer.

  It has been a pleasure to work with you. Good day!

• Driver printer HP Photosmart Pro B8350 on Vista crash

  My HP Photosmart Pro B8350 had begun to print bad (after 3 years without problems) and I was unable to access the Toolbox of the printer for a while (a recent rift), so decided to uninstall and reinstall the driver, hoping to reinstall the Toolbox. I uninstalled the driver and then downloaded the new software of HP. Unfortunately, it would not install, and after a 2 hour session phone with a HP, HP technician decided that the reason why it would not was because Vista hardware recognition and should be able to reinstall automatically (and for the same reason they offer no installation disk for Vista). Only, it will not. My computer will recognize any other material, so this isn't the fault of the USB cables or ports, and I can run a printer HP installed above him. In addition, are installed the Photosmart printer on my laptop, this is not a defect of the printer.

  How can I reinstall the relevant printer driver?

• Photosmart 7510 - wireless print from MacBook Pro running (OSX 10.8.3) Mountain Lion

  I have no success in the configuration of the connection between the MacBook and Photosmart 7510 to print wireless.

  It prints well when it is connected via a USB cable, I downloaded the latest drivers etc and get so far in the process of wifi when I get the following message:-

  Device not found on the network

   

  Wireless network settings have been successfully

  downloaded to your device. However, your Mac has been

  Could not locate the device on the network.

  Please make sure that:

  . Your mac is connected to a wired or wireless network that has access to your device.

  . Yourndevice is connected to the wireless "BTHub3 PROJECT".

  Click on "Start over" to try to connect again.

   

  The MacBook is connected to the network and is therefore the printer keeping the wifi connection?

  PS. the firewall is DISABLED.

  Try resetting your router and the printer. First of all, turn the printer off. Unplug the router and wait for about 30 seconds then plug it back. Expect that all of the lights to stabilize on the router. Once they have, go ahead and turn on the printer and try again.

• Problem with the HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer: clean the print heads each time it is turned on

  Hello everyone,

  the printer HP all-in-one Officejet Pro 8500 (A909a - product n. CB022A) clean the print heads whenever I turn it on. This problem affects any HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer, it is not a problem only of this one I bought. It is a boring bug and annoying because each power clean print heads on involves two bad disadvantages:

  1. waste of ink (each heads cleaning process consumes little ink);
  2. too much time (2-3 minutes) to prepare the printer after plugging.

  I upgraded my printer with the latest firmware available on the HP site (firmware ver. DLM1FN1006BR), but the bug is still present.

  At this point, I ask:

  1. There is a way (or procedure) to disable automatic cleaning this useless to all power on?
  2. Can we communicate with the HP engineers or tell me how to contact directly one of them to indicate the bug and request a new firmware updated?

  Please don't tell me to leave the printer on all the time or that the printheads to each cleaning power is normal behavior! Where then are power and ink savings claimed for this printer model?

  I hope that a solution to this problem. Thanks in advance to everyone will help me!

  Maintenance when the printer is turned on is normal and is required to keep the printheads in good health (not blocked). See here for more information.

  With respect to energy savings, the printer automatically goes to low power mode when the don't feel not for awhile.  It is not necessary turn the unit on to save energy.

  Hi, if the printer is on a thing of warranty that may be worth soaking the print head...

  (1) get a pan and put 1/2 "of very hot (not boiling) water in the bottom.
  (2) remove all ink cartridges, then remove the print head Assembly.
  (3) gently put the printhead nozzles down in water and soak for 5 minutes.
  (4) remove the print head and gently dry the electrical contacts.
  (5) replace the print head in the printer and then reinstall the ink cartridges.

• HP Photosmart C6280: my HP Photosmart C6280 ceased printing and copying. I use a Mac OS 10.10.5

  My HP Photosmart C6280 stopped printing and copying. I use a Mac OS 10.10.5. The printer seems to work, but no ink is on paper with a function.

  I installed a new black ink cartridge and select "black only" with the same results. All the other ink levels are sufficient.

  I would appreciate your help. The printer has been idle for a few days but a previous usage has been a success.
