Photosmart 6520: driver unavailable

• Photosmart 6520 driver for Mac 10.5

  I try to use a Photosmart 6520 new on my iMa running 10.5.  Is it possible to do without upgrading? Thank you!

  Hi nannypie,

  I understand that you have 10.5 and try using the Photosmart 6520. The only suggestion I can make is probably not ideal, but you could send what you want to print from the computer to the printer.

  Each printer HP ePrint compatible, such as the 6520, has its own unique e-mail address. After you have enabled HP ePrint on HP ePrint-enabled printer, you can print from your mobile device or connected to the network by sending an email to the email address of your HP printer. With HP ePrint, you can print from anywhere, at any time. If you can send an email, you can use HP ePrint.

  This introductory text and more information, can be found in the following Document from HP, ePrint, specifications.

  As mentioned. It is probably not ideal, it really depends on what you plan to do. If it is convenient for you as a work around so mission accomplished, we found a solution, if not...  The only other options would be to consider to resume the printer and getting another model that is compatible with 10.5 or upgrade the operating system so that Mac can allow an upgrade to 10.6.

  I know that you would not go, but you might want to consider treating yourself, there are a few available Mac nice shiney new.

  What you decide, if you want to help, feel free to post as soon as I'm happy to help you.

  I hope my recommendations to resolve your request.

• Photosmart HP 6520 printer: hp photosmart 6520 cannot set print at 100% scale/size

  What CD jewel box impression label width and higth suddenly became smaller. It works perfectly until recently. Have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer and drivers, but I am unable to find how re set the scale to 100%. in this hp6520 Photosmart printer.

  Any help would be appreciated: very happy smiley:

  After watching your @dlddemonscreenshots, I see that you use the HPDD896C (HP Photosmart 6520 series), it is a driver not driver HP class.

  I suggest all first to remove this driver and add the printer again. In fact, I suggest to use the following steps to remove the printer from the device and printers and the driver from the properties of the server.

  1. in the folder "devices and printers".

  2. choose "print server properties.

  • Win XP - with no printer selected, click 'File' then 'server properties '.
  • Windows Vista - with no printer selected, press 'Alt' and then click 'file' then 'server properties '.
  • Windows 7/8, 8.1 and 10 - select any printer in the "Devices and printers" folder and click on "Print server properties" above.

  3. click on the "Drivers" tab at the top of the window "properties of the print server.

  4. choose the printer that you want to uninstall, and then click 'remove '.

  5. choose "Remove driver only.

  6. the next screen will give a warning, letting you know that the removal of the driver package will remove it from the system. Click 'Yes' to say are you sure you want to do.

  If documents are stuck in the spooler to print, you see an error, cancel all documents waiting in the print queue or try restart the spooler to print, and then try to delete the driver from 'Print server properties' again. If she will not always remove the sachet, restart the computer and the printer should correct this error "in use" and allow the driver to be removed.

  • If him you continue to get an "in use" message followed the steps in the document here. The specified printer driver is currently in use

  Once the driver is then deleted, open start > all programs > HP folder > folder printer > HP Setup and software (or the icon of the printer).  The installation screen and the software opens and you can click on connect a new printer.

  Once you have added the HP driver, try to print a label again and let me know the result. In addition, you may need to change ' borderless printing: Print with border ' borderless Print.

  Let me know how it goes.

• Photosmart 6520 - establishment of eFax with greyed the button "create a new account.

  I just bought a Photosmart 6520 new and am setting up eFax service. While he was trying to set up eFax "create a new account" button is grayed out, do not allow me to create an account. I found a HP support document for my printer which helps with the implementation of eFax. On the document it says:

  NOTE: If the button create account is unavailable or greyed out, the printer is already registered with eFax.

  

  I didn't record the printer with eFax, but just to check that it was wrong, I clicked on "login to eFax and clicked 'forgot number?' when you are prompted for an eFax number I never was affected. I put my email address and the message verified, as I expected, that the account was not in their database. I then did a search on the forum where I found a topic 'Registration of EFAX' that said, it has been resolved. The solution to say

  "I'm sorry to hear that you have a gray button to create an eFax account for your Photosmart 6520.

  The questions that you have, please call HP Cloud Services at 1-885-785-2777 if you are in the USA/Canada region. »

  I tried to call this number and it is an invalid number. I searched other corrections and I see not a published solution, but see that there is a problem with high frequency. Help, please.

  Thank you

  gf_printer

  Here is the solution, if you do not have to hunt around with invalid documents, phone numbers, etc... as if I had to.

  If you configure a printer offering eFax free, but when you create an account, eFax, the 'Create new account' button is gray, then here's what you do:

  1. Call eFax @ 1-800-287-3499 and select "Sales". Do not select "Customer Support" because it prompts you to enter your fax number, you do not. Tell the sales person the question and ask to be transferred to a customer support agent.

  2. Customer support agent will take information from you such as your zip code, your email, your hpeprint email address, type of printer and then open a ticket with a representative from hp for the configuration of the fax number.

  3. You should then receive a fax of test from the person who took your eFax number. You will get also an email with the information you need for eFax, including your fax number and your PIN.

  Good luck!

• Photosmart 6520: HP Photosmart 6520 hurt margins

  I have a Photosmart 6520, which allows the 2-sided printing.

  However, to use it, I can´t chose printing without margins, causing the printer to increase margins of 1 cm, even though I have more big margins.

  I have no sense!

  The printer does not reduce the size of my impressions as soon as they are within the allowed range.

  Is there a way to overcome this problem (but keeping with 2 automatic duplex printing)?

  Thank you.

  OK, in your original post said you you want to print without margins and automatic duplex printing.  In the eyes of the driver for the advanced parameter settings, the value "preserve the layout' no, OK.  When this box is checked, the printer will shrink printing slightly to ensure that to appear on the page when printing double-sided printing.

  

• Photosmart 6520: A5 in the photo tray

  I have a Photosmart 6520 printer all-in-one. I would like the photo tray to print on A5 paper invoices. I can get the printer to take A5 if my paper size is set to one of the accepted sizes but it gives me a message that the paper is the right size. If I select A5 he came right back and said that I can't print in A5 from the photo tray.

  I know I'm trying something outside of the manufacturer's intentions, but thought maybe someone knew how to trick the printer actually for me.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Unfortunately, you cannot use any media higher than 10 x 15 size when using the paper tray.

  Who have not big thing to do with the driver, but rather the firmware of the printer, the gatherers of media for the photo tray, which are not designed to take no matter what broader media and sensors of media that provide such a

  So I'm afraid you won't be able to accomplish such a, this is a limitation of the hardware itself that did not draw a bigger ratehr of sizes paper than a limitation of the print driver, so any other driver will not be able to work around this limitation.

• Photosmart 6520: Photosmart 6520 impression with El Capitan

  Hello

  I've just upgraded to a new iMAc OS X 10.11 El Capitan running. Not surprsingly my printer Photosmart 6520 wouldn't print after implementation of the new system. I followed the instructions online and downloaded the latest software of printer driver on the HP site. I noted that it was for the previous OS Mavericks. Downloaded and installed successfully and everything seemed in order. However, I am still not able to print a simple word document. In the utility dialog box printer, I get the message that the print is "order - incapable of start-up session, result = - 10, 1 page'."  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Note, this is not a problem with thewireless network I can print documents in online test on the HP support site.

  See you soon,.

  Eamonn1

  After having in vain with all previous attempts, the problem of the printer was resolved yesterday by downloading the OS X, El Capitan 10.11.2 software was last updated.

  Although not specifically mentioning any improvements put to date regarding printing, it solved my problem as soon as the update has been installed.

  If anyone else is having problems printing to an HP printer, you use El Capitan, and even download the latest printer driver software, update of El Capitan would be following procedure I would recommend.

  Good luck

• Photosmart 6520 - custom paper sizes

  I need to print on my Photosmart 6520 on hardware of greeting card which is 105mm width x 297 mm long (IE half A4, but divided cereal).   This size is not available in the drop-down list on the list of paper sizes in the printer settings screen and there is no way to select "custom size."  I tried to use a number of sizes listed that is close to that I want to, but the printer won't play ball.  She keeps just ejecting the card with an error message indicating "wrong size paper.

  Any suggestions?
