Photosmart 5520: Photo printing problem

I've just set up my new printer wireless to my PC and my ipad with no problems.   I just printed photo of

both using HP photo paper supplied with the printer, but the quality is terrible!  The ink is running in all directions and

take ages to dry, the colors are facing eachother, what makes the image completely garbled.  I'm not a fool!, I have

used various brands of printers over the years and found that the installation of ink cartridges is similar regardless of the brand.

I checked then double that they are clicked in place firmly.  I followed all of the implementation procedures.

I'm doing something wrong, or should I just try a different type of photo paper?   Printing simple text on A4 is fine.

Hi @mum50,

I think you are something! I suspect that the problem is probably related to the book, but it might be better to use the following document to completely solve the problem: the problems of quality Print to the HP Photosmart 5520 e-all-in-one-HP Deskjet Ink Advantage e-all-in-one 5520, Printer series.

Please let me know the results of your efforts. Thank you!

  • HP Photosmart C4640 photo printing problem

    Whenever I want to print a picture, it always comes out wrong. Only half or 75% of the photo is printed on the paper. I print almost always 4X6s. I also vertical lines appear in the photo, there is ink on the back of the photo paper. I once before changed both ink cartridges and had the printer align them (came out as normal). I recently updated my OS to Windows 8.1 and uninstalled and reinstalled the printer for this OS. I printed in color and in black and white to see if that makes a difference, and it's not. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Photosmart 5520 of printing quality

    I recently bought a photosmart 5520. It's my fourth HP printer. So far, I've been more than happy with the HP printers and that's why I've stuck with them.

    I am extremely disappointed by the print quality of the 5520. When you print a document in black Black is almost gray. It just doesn't seem to be enough ink and when printing photo skin tones are not accurate. It seems to be too much red.

    I got a deskjet 2180, which is only a printer not expensive but the quality of the print is much better than the print quality of the 5520.

    I want to know y at - it a setting that I can do to improve the print quality of my 5520 or is it a matter of "what I see, this is what I get.

    Please notify. I await your response.

  • HP Photosmart B109n-z (printing problem) Please help

    Hi all

    I have the HP Photosmart B109n-z printer and put up wireless and it works fine I had no problem with him.

    The other day the black ink stopped working - the cartridge is not empty but it's is no longer black prinking on all documents.  Since I put all new cartridges in, he acknowledges them all, including black, and if I print something like a word document, and then it moves as if printing but the page comes out blank - no black ink is used.

    I work for myself, and work at home, it will get this resolved as soon as possible.

    I checked the cartidge - it's good.

    I checked the connection and the Bay print cartridge - they are clean.

    I have a wireless laptop and can go anywhere.  I can print the wireless network test results and Page of Configuration of HP network.   However, I can't print other documents.  My test results all the PASS and signal show as very good.  Current configuration as expected except DO NOT CONNECT Internet.

    I tried various tools and options on the HP Site and others.  I have reistalled printer driver and printer and wireless details says it is connected.  I don't have the ability to use a cable.

    It was suggested to my static ip address, I thought I'd made however on the prints on (and I have a lot in the last hours) the ip adddresses seems inconsistent.  After 5 hours, any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Strange photo printing problem.

    Windows 7 SP1 runs on a home-built PC (Intel Core 2 Duo E8400/Nvidia 8600GT) my printer is a HewlettPackard Deskjet 1050 A., I'm having a problem very strange printing photos and other images.

    If the image is stored on my PC, it will print only in shades of gray, well that the images display correctly in color on the monitor. Images printed directly from the internet using "file > print" in the menu of the browser print in color.

    Diagnostic and test pages print in color, as expected. Color of text prints correctly. In "Printing Options", "Print in grayscale" is disabled. I thought initially a printer problem, but printer diagnosis and convenience stores to find nothing wrong.

    I think that the problem must be in the attributes or properties of the image, but I don't know where to begin the search in order to find a solution.

    Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

    Gary,

    In addition to answering the question about the types of files which are giving you the problem, what program you use to view and print the files saved on your computer?

    If you are using the Windows Photo Viewer (Windows 7 by default), see--> http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-pictures/jpegs-only-print-in-black-and-white-via-the-image/b9c1a406-b046-48d3-b9c3-ab23279c8b3a

  • HP Photosmart Plus - B210a printing problems

    My photo printer prints now all my photos in red.  First of all, this occurred when the ink cartridges were low.  I replaced the time and the Red pictures disappeared.  When photos started printing in red, I have replaced all cartridges with HP ink cartridges and made sure all cartridges have not all the bands on them to restrict the flow of ink, but still to print photos in red.  I also cleaned and aligned printheads several times but the problem persists.  By tools, my ink levels is now up to 50 percent of the Red photo printing.  I use photo paper bought at Costco, which is the same paper used when the images did print correctly.

    What should I do for the photo printer to get the pictures to print correctly?

    I don't know exactly of what has caused the problem, but I have speculations. It is possible that the ink pipes have stamps, air preventing the ink being subject to a push of the ink cartridge for the print heads. That's why it took 2-3 printheads clean processes to get the ink out. Another possibility is that the print nozzles are blocked and the print head cleaning process after several tests. Regarding prevention, the only thing that I could think off is to make sure to use the power button when you want to turn off the printer. This is to ensure that the print heads is capped correctly to avoid the obstruction. So basically when you get the power failure, be sure to turn on the printer as soon as you get back power. Run a clean print head immediately.

  • HP B210a Photosmart and iPad2 printing problem

    Hello.
    I just bought the B210a for my iPad2 wireless printing. I joined the printer properly to my W - LAN network (as far I can tell there is no problems with the WPA or IP) and implemented by following the instructions in the manuals. I had no problem printing from my PC. My iPad also recognizes the printer without problem. But when I try to print from my iPad (on Safari and hp iPrint) the printer does nothing. HP iPrint starts the race printingprocess for a few seconds and then tells me something from (excuse me, I have to translate it from German) as "possible within printing problems. Check the printer for more information". My printer does not show anything.
    -The report says it all test is successful, the quality of the signal is fine, the identifier SSID is correct, MAC, IP address, DHCP, infrastructure, WPA - PSK and automatic encryption (AES)
    -in my router configuration screen, the printer has been Born as a networkdevice with IP address
    -MAC filtering is turned off
    -W - LAN mode is 802. 11 b/g to channel 13
    -WPS is disabled because it caused problems connecting the iPad to W - LAN
    -My iPad is also in the W - LAN, network and can access the internet through a router
    -I can't acess the printserver B210a via the IP address of my PC's built-in
    -all devices are in the same subnet 192.168.1.xxx
    -J' have already disabled the power of my iPad, printer and router and got no result

    I hope you can help me. Thank you.

    I just found the solution: I just had to restart the IPad2 (hold both keys). Now, it works fine.
