Photosmart 5520 and the mirror image printing

• Photosmart 5520 (but also others) duplex printing cleared at the bottom

  Very recently, I bought a Hp Photosmart 5520 and I found that sometimes the bottom of a page is cut off when printing double-sided. I looked in this forum and found that this problem is hardware related and can not be solved, but there are solutions. I did a few tests with my current setup and I want to share my discoveries, here for other users waiting for HP to add a FAQ for the photosmart 5520 entry. (but also for the 6520 and 7520, probably)

  The problem is clearly stated in a few messages, dating from September 2013 and Nov 2013, although it is not very easy to find

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/other-printing-questions/duplexing-discrepancy/m-p/2470573/highlight/tr...

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/scanning-faxing-and-copying/double-sided-printing-is-cut-off-short-Phot...

  Basically, the margin of the low printable area is 3mm side simple impression, while it is 15mm (at least!) for the first page, double-sided printing. This is due to the fact that the printer must keep the paper in the output roll after that that he finished printing the first page. It is therefore IMPOSSIBLE to duplex - print a document with text or graphics that extends beyond the margin of the lower 15 mm, unless the page size is reduced so that the effective bottom margin is 15 mm. On the other hand, if the document does not contain text or graphics beyond bottom margin of 15 mm it CAN be printed double-sided without reduction.

  IMHO, the problem is that the default behavior of the firmware of the printer, the drivers of operating system and/or applications do not always properly address this limitation leading to surprising or unsatisfactory results.

  To better understand the limits and behavior of the printer, I have carried out tests under the following conditions:

  (1) copy 2-sided vs 1-side in the printer display

  (2) Windows 7 applications: Word2010, Foxit PDF reader, Acrobat PDF reader

  (3) 4.3 android: Cloud Print and HP ePrint apps

  The firmware in the printer is MGP5CN1351AR (Sep 12, 2013)

  The windows version of printer drivers is 28.8 (October 30, 2012)

  For tests 2 and 3, I have prepared a document word of 2 pages with headers and footers located exactly at 15 mm of margin top and bottom of the page and I have produced a PDF with CutePDF (unfortunately this forum does not allow attachments, otherwise I would have attached it).

  The results were as follows

  (1) in 2-sided copy the last 15 mm on part and on the other copy of the output are empty, even if the text of the content entry page, while, in 1-sided copy only the last 3 mm are empty (resizing is turned off, of course)

  (2) double-sided printed of Word2010 gives a duplexer not resized when the printing preferences, advanced options, "Arrangement" is disabled. If it is set on, the output is reduced. Print PDF files is tricky: there are several different options in Foxit PDF and acrobat PDF. Auto-Centre and adjustment - on the page to print double-sided, but do not keep the right size in Foxit PDF reader; If preserve layout is off a significant part of the bottom of the page is not printed, apparently due to the fact that the margins are not properly managed by foxit PDF. Acrobat PDF instead, leave a good impression both sides preserve the page layout and scaling are disabled (obviously up to 15 mm).

  (3) android Cloud Print prints the word and pdf files WITHOUT a provision to 'preserve', this is why some clipping may occur; HP ePrint prints two word files and pdf reduced in size, as if "preserve layout" option has been set.

  In summary, I'll leave the "preserve layout" options always on in windows and I'll take a cut on the side of double-sided printing and I use hp eprint instead of cloudprint. If the correct size is important to a PDF file, it is best to experiment with Acrobat PDF (even if it is not a light program). iI would be expected at HP improved the behavior of the windows printer drivers to print a PDF file.

  I hope that this post may be useful to other people.

  You are right, that the effective page size is reduced because of the extra margins required to manage the document in automatic duplex mode.  From the rear is donated in the printer from the bottom and bottom printed in the top margin is also higher top for the back to the front.

  The checkbox 'Keep the page layout' is important for results appropriate, although it will reduce the effective print size.

  I've seen reports before of Foxit PDF printing problems, I avoid and use Adobe Reader.

• HP: Please help - Mirror Image printing HP 6520 via windows 8.1

  Please help :-(

  OK so I tried to figure this out for 5 hours as to believe I can do it but don't know how.

  I have a HP Photosmart 6520 printer all-in-one and I recently turned to a new laptop which is running windows 8.1.

  I try to print using mirror image.  I am aware that my printer does not support this but on my old computer, I used to install option of the device hp Photosmart 7400 series instead of the 6520 and it worked very well and I was able to print using the installation of the mirror image.

  Now when I try to install the printer manually it is no longer an option of 7400 seris who took my installation of mirror image printing.  I don't want to copy the text in paint and flip because the quality is not very good and I am sure that I can and that it should be able to do it via the printer or the driver?

  Any help would be appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to read :-)

  Hey @hill25,

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

  I see that you plan to print the style of mirror-image with your Photosmart HP 6520 e-all-in-one printer. I want to help you with this. I have some suggestions that might help.

  At first I thought that this type of printing has not been supported, but clear me up by my colleague @X-23 . If you make a few adjustments for the driver and your printer printing preferences, it should be possible to print the mirror with your existing installation image text. Here's how:

  1. Press the Windows key + r , and type Control Panel , and press enter
  2. Select the devices and printers
  3. In the devices and printers folder right click on your HP Photosmart e-all-in-one 6520, printer and left click on printer properties.
  4. Left click on the Advanced tab
  5. Left-click on new driver
  6. When the new driver window just press 'Next' until you see a list of manufacturers on the left and a list of Printers on the right.
  7. Select HP as the manufacturer on the left
  8. DeskJet 9800 select the printer on the right. If Deskjet 9800 is only select "Windows Update" at the bottom left and once the update has been completed, you will be able to select Deskjet 9800.
  9. After selecting Deskjet 9800 hit next complete the new driver Wizard
  10. Under the printer properties window, select "Apply", but don't hit not OK
  11. Select the general tab
  12. Rename your printer to HP Photosmart 6520 e - all - in - one printer
  13. Click OK
  14. Finally, right click on your HP Photosmart e-all-in-one 6520, printer one more time and left-click on Printing Preferences
  15. Left click on the paper/quality tab
  16. Left click on the drop down menu 'Normal' for quality printing at the bottom right and change its normal fast
  17. Press apply and OK

  Now that you've updated the driver, return to Printing Preferences and click on the Finish tab as shown below:

  

  Ideally, this approach, you retain all the features of your normal printer. When you are looking to disable the mirror image function simply go in the printer tab preferences as before and clear the mirror image check box.

  Let me know if this work around will be useful in answering 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.

• Difference between Photosmart 5520 and 5524?

  Hello

  Potentially, I'll buy one of the above listed HP printers but I am a little confused, they are all both the same series and have apparently exactly the same specifications, but differ from the model numbers?

  In the curries too, they are £10 apart but comes with additional sets of ink?

  If anyone has the answers I'd love to hear them.

  Thank you.

  Hey Callumh003,

  HP has made several different models of the same basic design.  The Photosmart 5520 and Photosmart 5524 are the same printer model, however what comes in the box is the difference.  Similarly, there is a Photosmart 5522 in some areas, and the difference, it's also what comes in the box of the Photosmart 5520 base.

  I hope this helps clarify.

  I'm having a problem using the slideshow module in LR 6.3. The slideshow contains the background image as one of the images to display. Earlier, I have created a slideshow of practice and the background image was not displayed as an image in itself. How to make it behave?

  Another approach, perhaps a little more elegant (?). Create a collection that includes images for the slideshow. Include the background image in the collection. Drag the background image in the Panel to designate. Then, remove this image from the collection and create the slide show. I just tried and it works, too.

• When you save an image in PS CS 6 and go into Lightroom 5. The original and the modified image are at the end of the line upward.

  I use a Mac, 5 Lightroom and Photoshop CS 6. I started having a problem with the line up in Lightroom 5 after saving an image in PS CS 6. For some reason when I save the edited image 6 CS form he takes the modified image and the original image and put the end of the line up in Lightroom. If I take the modified image and move it to the right of the original, it will put two of them in the line up where they should be. How can I fix it.

• Photosmart 5515 appearing as a regular printer and the other grayed printer under windows 7.

  I have windows 7 32-bit, with 500 GB disk and 4 GB of ram. J’ai récemment supprimé tous mes pilotes usb et puis réinstallé, parce que je recevais l’écran bleu de la mort (BSOD) chaque semaine ou deux, prétendument causé par le pilote usb d’etron de gigabyte. My motherboard is a gigabyte GA-A75-D3H.

  I went through several iterations recover my usb drivers and working properly. The last problem seems to be with the printer driver. I have just turned the printer off, removed the two printers from the list of devices and printers, and back in the printer market. The drivers once again and the printer "shadow" is back.

  I tried printing HP and doctor scan, and it is a photosmart 5515 says he was not installed. And there does appear to be a way to remove it from its list of HP devices.

  I don't know what to do next. I used windows xp for years and I'm quite familiar with it, but I'm still learning on windows 7, so I don't know what would be my next step in this process of elimination of the printer "shadow" disappear for good.

  It turns out that the greyed out printer still had something left in its queue. It was not connected to any port, so I plugged in the port for the regular printer, and it printed a few things. And now, the greyed out printer disappeared, so I guess that the queue to be empty. Problem solved.

  Saly,

  Welcome to the HP Forum.

  If your printer is not directly compatible print mirror image, you can use the following workaround.

  If you use Windows, you can use Paint.

  Painting still works and is included in Windows 8.x, is told by the way!

  1. First make a copy of your file if you find yourself flipping around your original file.
  2. Open the new .jpg file in paint
  3. On the Home tab, click on 'Select' > Select All
  4. Next to the 'Select' box blue, find three icons. The third icon from the top down is the command "rotation / flip.
  5. Select the small arrow next to the icon "rotation / flip" > select "Flip horizontal".
  6. Save the file under a new name
  7. Print the file

  Pouf!  Easy.
