• HP Photosmart 6520 assistant printer error

  I have the printer Photosmart 6520 on the ip address and running windows 8.1

  When I run the wizard of the printer for scanning on side Windows everything works fine

  BUT when I do the desktop option and then try and run the option of analysis (using the Printer Wizard) he wants to re-setup every time.  I went online and downloaded the whole printer for windows 8.1 and still get the same error.

  It was working fine and all of a sudden it started to happen, and I have not loaded something new lately.

  No one knows how to fix?

  Thank you

• 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 B110a - poor print quality

  Hello

  I have a HP Photosmart B110a CN245B and I use Mac OS X Lion version 10.7.2.

  I bought this HP Photosmart camera in the month of August, I changed the black cartridge once and it worked well. But now, replacing the black cartridge for the second time, I had a few problems. Printing is faded, I can barely read what is written on the page, even if I chose 'Grayscale - black print cartridge only' and 'Best quality'... the print quality is very bad. What can I do?

  Thank you very much!

  I think that the printhead has failed.  It should be under warranty.  Here's how to contact HP technical support: www.hp.com/go/totalcare

• More recent Photosmart 6520, not printing cyan

  Print stuff now that should be primarily blue & green - outgoing blue gray and stuff that has to be green is dark red. Ran: Tools > Print Quality Report - turned out to be just as it should. Tested another print to... same issues with grey/red instead of blue/green. Ran: Tools > cleaning print head - this second "Print quality diagnostic" printed even better than the first test. But same problem persists with the printing of the original file.

  Please help?

  I found some additional info - it is not the printer, this is the files I tried to print in PDF Viewer that I used!

  1. the records were not print correctly from Apple previewed, but printed fine via Adobe Reader.

  2. I was able to print other PDF files in color at Apple Preview, but not this particular batch of files designed (letterhead, envelopes, business cards, etc.).

  Thus, a). There is a problem with the batch of files, in conjunction with b). using Apple Preview to view & print these files. Strangest thing I've ever seen. :-/  But at least it isn't a problem with my printer. Thanks for the follow-up, Ciara.

  Hello
  
  You can use direct funtion of turining the button your printer wireless wireless on the front of the printer.

  This allows to generate the printer it's own singal wifi that you can connect through any wireless device.

  To find the wireless password, simply hold the direct wireless for more than 3 seconds and it will display the password on plain paper (make sure that the paper is loaded).

• Photosmart HP 6520: For HP Photosmart 6520 black print cartridge does not print

  My printer suddenly decided to not print black ink, the indicator showed still had about 30 percent ink left, but when making the diagnosis of quality black ink pring was incomplete printing.  I did an alignment of the printer and cleaned the printheads, still nothing, black does not print clearly.  I bought a new ink cartridge, of the March 2017 expiry date, did the same steps as above and nothing.  The black box is now completely empty.  My previous printer was a 6510 HP which has begun to do this, and after losing a ton of ink clean print head, etc., I ended up buying just the 6520.  It is now out of warranty as of October 2014, but black ink does the same thing as ink color on the 6510.  I watched throughthe for answers forums, tried to soak the cartridge in case it has been clogged, etc..  None of the above helped me, and I am not interested in buying ANOTHER printer.  Any thoughts?

  One of the questions forum indicated that l ' turn off from one day to the next, sometimes worked.  I turned it off last night and just turned on today, and works in ink!  Not sure if it was the rest overnight or clog with water, but today he works.

• 6520 photosmart all-in-one: can't get Photosmart 6520 to print in black and white only reliable

  I'm trying to get the 6520 Photosmart of HP all-in-one to print only in black and white. I followed the instructions in the manual (go to the preferences of the printer by selecting "Black ink" only 'Print in grayscale,' hit 'Apply' and 'Send'.)

  Now, if I do a table in the word processor Open Office and fill the cells with different colors, they print in black and white. Bonus. This is what I want. However ... When I print a page of Open Office spreadsheet (the ultimate goal), there are all the cells, printed in color of life.

  That is what it is? How can I fix?

  Afternoon @MSWS,.

  I can help you with the printing settings in Open Office.

  It seems that this program has its own options that can bypass the default print settings.

  I found this page of support which may help you with the settings. OpenOffice - control print  

  Thank you

• 6520e Photosmart printer: my PC can't find my wireless HP Photosmart 6520 e printer

  My printer was working fine on my home network for more than a year, but now it has developed a problem.    My PC is no longer able to find the printer on the network.  It is connected to the wifi router.   I printed the test on the printer's wireless network and no problems were found.   I have verified the IP address defined on the printer and have used the program to update the IP address on the PC.        The PC still cannot find the printer.    Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?         I don't think that I have a firewall blocks access to the printer.    It used to work fine and I changed no settings...    Your comments would be appreciated.    Thank you.

  Thank you. Dr. impression scanning led me to solve the problem. All I had to do was unplug / restart the router. I appreciate the help.

• Print quality of gradients of gray light and shadows

  Hi all

  I am putting together a flyer only page which will have gradients of light and shadows on objects.

  Think that the shadows and Apple-ish light gray...

  I would like to get a review here of someone in the know as I am much more than print digital.

  (1) what is the lightest gray although I can work that will print well?

  When you configure the CMYK color should I simply put it in say 10% 10% 10% 10% or is there a better mix for gradients of gray. a little blue for example, or a mixture rich black.

  (2) for the creation of gradients in illustrator, should I go for the transparent grey or is it better to set up a white gradient gray?

  Finally,.

  When creating my images with shadows and slopes support, it would be better just create them in Photoshop and put them in my illustrator document and leave Illustrator to the text alone?

  Thank you in advance, I really appreciate your help

  Gray can be a subjective thing, especially when it comes to "which is too light? Personally, I try to not take any less than 10% gray. To answer your direct questions:

  (1) I would avoid making a mixture of gray, go all your lighter mix colors, they will be dyed and muddy. If you go for a deliberately cool gray I would use something like 3/0/0/10. If you want something more pure, just use shades of black.

  (2) illustrator is currently the best support of transparency. If using the white gradient does not interfere with what anyone elese about your history, I would stick with that.

  (3) you can go either way (Photoshop or Illustrator) to create your gradients. When it comes to most output devices, Photoshop gradients tend to run a little better (to know information static instead of dynamic vectors), but they restrict you during the design (as in Illustrator you can keep changing on a whim). Being a single page flyer, I would stick with Illustrator.

• C410a Photosmart print quality

  The quality of the printed more than 4 X 6 jpg images have unparalleled picture quality.  Each pass of the print head renders a slightly different picture which is very visible in the pictures with dark backgrounds.  The printer seems to be in harmony with the alignment utility and the «diagnostic print quality report»  The latest software and drivers for MAC OS X 10.8 are installed.  When you print images larger, there is a hesitation of the print head between each of the print head.  Examining the 4 X 6 prints with a magnifying glass does not reveal the failure even on small images.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  I was printing directly from the Lightroom software.  The problem has been fixed by changing the settings in the print dialog that appear after clicking on the button "print" in lightroom.  Under "Media and quality", change the type of media affecting the type of photo paper you are using.  Then set the 'quality' for the 'best '.  Good impression to everyone!
