HP5530: Grainy prints when printing photos on HP5530. Also pink vertical lines on each side of the picture.

When you print pictures from a SD card on advanced paper HP using HP instant ink pictures are grainy and present pink vertical lines on each side of the picture.

Have tried Clean Printhead twice, own smear ink and printer to align. A photo then came out fine, but then returned to the problems of the original.

Can anyone suggest how should I proceed to try to remedy this problem, please?

  • Do the "keys" on each side of the Envy4500 lights when the printer is turned on?

    I just bought two new Envy4500s and at the same time on them, the "key (i.e. up/down, 'ok', etc.) on each side of the display screen does not light up when the printer is turned on."  HP rep said they should, but on any machine they light up. Thus, all "keys" are essentially impossible to see. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Hello @paularose,

    Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

    I see that you are curious about the screen of the HP ENVY 4500 e-all-in-one printer.  I would like to help.

    The arrow keys do not light up when the printer is on, but as you can see when you look at your own models, they are clearly identified.

    I hope this helps.

  • Lightroom prints vertical lines on my pictures

    When I print a photo from Lightroom, it has vertical lines about 8 millimeters throughout the picture.  Very fine they´re.  In fact when I look at close-up, it seems that it s print vertical of 8mm strips and each band is perhaps one pixel above or below the band beside her.

    However, if I use another program photo prints perfectly.

    I ve tried several settings in Lightroom, but I can´t get that this corrected.  Someone at - it ideas?

    Lightroom is to update v4.4.  Mac OS x 10.7.  Canon MG5400 printer.  I ve installed the last printer driver (if it s only Lightroom who has this problem so I Don t think he can be the drivers).

    Thank you

  • HP7510: When you print photos they come out the right size.

    Today you have the printer and it works well with the output of good quality.  However if I try to print a MS Word document that contains a picture the photo comes out to about 120% of full size and overflows out of the page.  Any ideas?  I am an experienced user and have tried all the usual remedies.  OS is Windows 10 MS Word 2003 (yes I know it's old :-))

    @Bernard_S

    Odd.

    Rats.

    Office Word 2003 is no longer supported.  File Windows 10 libraries system files and the links that connect dependencies (programs needed by desktop software and printer) changed - 'something' may be missing or damaged.

    Regardless of the new file system Windows 10 and how he 'sees' a Word 2003 document, the question could be attributed to the program from the printer itself - a tiny missing statement which translates not correctly size the image, position, limits.

    One or more of the following could reverberate - results, of course, depend on the cause of the problem (still unknown).  If one of the changes to trigger a file change internal - or how the document and the image are translated by the printing software - while change can help solve the problem.

    Ideas - I hope that these apply to your Word Vintage:

    • If you have not done so, check the spacing of lines on each side of the image - Dragon document mention this (if I remember) provides an example.
    • Copy the image to a new name .jpg file > open the image in Paint (paint real, not 'fresh') > set up as if you are going to print and check the size, boundaries, the parameters.  Why use Paint instead of Picasso?  The painting is Windows.  Picasso is not.  If you want, print the image (although I doubt it will be necessary).  Place (insert) of the 'new' file in your document in place of the original image.
    • Try to temporarily remove the image > save close the document > open and insert the image in place.  If the image is small enough (fits left margins / right), left click on the image and use the arrows "decrease / increase indent ' to drag the image a little to one side or the other.
    • Turn on all the markings of the document - search for oddities.  Anchors in images could provide a clue about why the image is printing 'off limits '.
    • The value of the tight margins - print any of the pages on which is located the wandering image.
    • Copy the contents of the document in a WordPad document > save content > print a page that provides one of the problem images.  Check the result.
    • If you use fonts "bizarre" and maybe even if you don't do so, be sure that embed you the fonts in the document.
    • Setting word for Printing Options:

    Control Panel > display icon > devices and printers >

    Right-click Printer > Printing Preferences > tab Layout > advanced >

    On the printer side tab > preserve the page layout (select) Yes > OK

    • If all else fails, the document to a PDF output and printing that - or print the PDF file as an image.

    I've probably missed something - if I have 'find', I'll post back.

  • HP Office Jet Pro 8625: vertical lines on the HP Office jet Pro 8625 color prints

    When printing color photo, there is a thin vertical lines about an inch of distance. Ruled out interference from other devices connected to the printer via the USB port. I did copy the image on USB and put it in the USB port of the printer. The image has NO vertical lines. I have a suspicion the printer driver. Anyone with the same problem?

    Hi Rainbow,

    Thank you for your interest. I have solved the problem. It turns out that the only time where I had vertical lines wes when I was printing color photo of my computer, program Picasa or Microsoft. The disapeard question when I chose the best print quality. It is much more slow but clean! the lines have been in my opinion line breaks in the quick printing mode. Once again thank you for your interest and help. Respectuly MUFFEN

  • How can I get rid of black, thin, vertical 'lines of glitch"that print from my InDesign doc?

    In the three orange ellipses in this photo, you can see some vertical lines that were me crazy. Any idea of what causes?

    I tried to separate the adjacent pipeline on different layers, merging layers and all I could think about. I could not find anything with google searches - but there may be a name for them that I don't know.

    Is there a way I can copy the whole page, I did in Photoshop or Illustrator in InDesign, then save the whole page with all its pictures, lines and type as a kind of an image file? If Yes, which file should I use he would keep really strong?  My boss wants to of course, even the slightest impression on labels in the photos still readable.

    Thanks a lot for helping me.  I'm at the end of my mind, because if I print directly from InDesign I sometimes lines glitch and there throughout our manuals, but if I try to save any composite of PhotoShop; She blurs the lines and the type.

    -Stan B.

    When you have a mixed picture with hard lines sharp and the type, save the Photoshop file as a Photoshop PDF file type. Along the way, have you done your layered file has a white background layer? It might be small holes down to transparency, otherwise.

  • Vertical lines on print

    My Officejet pro 8600 deploys a black line along one side of the paper vertical through food.  I have cleaned the glass top, inside of the rollers to power and followed all the routines of solving problems, verified updates, ran a diagnostic print quality. Nothing helps.  It is clearly in the charger as it happens to the output there. This is a fairly new printer a few months old. Any ideas?

  • Captions on the pictures in a photo album.  Is this possible?  It has been...

    I used to be able to individual photos of legend in a photo album, but this option seems to have disappeared with the upgrade of Yosemite.  Can anyone help?

    Upgrading Yosemite did not affect iPhoto.   iPhoto should work as before, but you must update iPhoto to version 9.6.1, if you have a version of the Mac AppStore that can be updated.

    Or do you go from iPhoto for new Photos for Mac application?

    Photos for Mac also has book templates that contain text on the pages fields. There is more than one text field per page. For each page, where you want to add text, set the page layout for a page layout that contains a text field.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600: Recently a fax pops up when I try to print photos and the picture does not print

    We have a printer all-in-one HP Officejet Pro 8600 operating from a desktop HP with Windows 7. Recently, in the last two weeks my wife told me, we cannot print photos. The documents appear to be printed without a problem, but when trying to print a photo we get a window titled 'Send Fax - HP Officejet Pro 8600'. We have never used or even hung fax capablitly since we have owned this printer (maybe 2-3 years). All of a sudden, this window is displayed when we try to print a photo and the photo does not print.  I can't tell you that my wife did not hit accidentally a wrong button somewhere down the line, but she says she does not. I tried to attach a screenshot of the window, but for some reason that it does not take it. It's probably something very simple, but technically challenged myself, I can't understand. Help, please.

    Thank you

    Vince Pellerito

    Print picture of what program?  Some programs to keep their own default values for the printer.  It seems that the default printer for the printing of the photo program has been set to Fax.  Try to open the program, select the Officejet Pro 8600 as the printer rather than the Officejet Pro 8600 fax.
