Photosmart HP 6520: Print only on half a page

Recently out of no where the my printer suddenly started to only print Word or PDF documents on half of the paper from the printer. By the half of the book, I mean that the checks were printed as if the print settings are to adapt to several pages (probably 2) per sheet of paper. I checked my print settings and it is always configured to print 1 page per side, and then to return along the long double-sided printing side. I also made sure that the paper size defined in the print settings associated with the size of the paper, I use actually in the printer. I tried to reset my printer and my computer, but doesn't seem to work. Any help is appreciated thank you.

  • Photosmart HP 6520 prints only in black, even if only selected

    When I select 'black fast project only', I get a printing color. I replaced the black cartridge and the test print just fine. So everything I do or try, can't do the printer to print black scale and Yes more, I have this default :-).

    I use OS X 10.9 Mavericks.

    Driver software & installed properly.

    Please advice. I have about 400 slides to print for studies and most of them is color pdf, it's expensive to print in full colour.

    Thank you in advance!

    Hey Ladyli

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see you try to print in black and white for your Photosmart HP 6520, but since I use Mavericks even if you have defined, printing prints always in color.

    I would like that you do the following:

    Reset the printing system

    1. click on the Apple icon and then click on System Preferences.

    2. in the hardware section, click Print & Fax/scanning. Dialog Print & Fax/scan opens.

    3.right - click (or Ctrl + click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system...

    4. click OK to confirm the reset.

    5 type the name and the correct password.

    6. click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows any selected printer

    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer deleted can be re-added later by clicking the sign plus (+) symbol.

    Now go ahead and add the printer to the back and continue here: OS X Mavericks: set the print options

    You are now able to print without color? I'll watch for your reply.

    Thank you

When printing from the website (Groupgolfer.com), only get half page to print correctly. Printer hesitates after printing half the page then finally begins on a bad impression with multi-colored bars across the rest of the impression. Looks like once in the more strongly colored part of the page's problems. Email and spread sheet printed correctly. 3G network still prints correctly. I have an iPad with iOS 7.1.2 Motorola SB6121 modem, wireless Belkin N300 Router 2.

    Are the printer and the computer connected to the same router Belkin? If so, I would like to install the HP ePrint App on your iPad. Use the web browser in this application to load a page, you have printing problems, try to print.

    With this method, we will be able to see if there is a problem with the connection between the iPad and the Direct wireless printing.

    Copier is towards the top sometimes & don't print that page of bucket 1/8, Athens he spits as if this one ends. Have unplugged the power cord & reconnected. Ran scans printhead & alignment. Off all night. All the ink levels are good. Still has not corrected it.

    Print an entire page of the screen of the computer without problem. Printing problem just go flat.

    Hi @Wendy-needshelp,.

    Thanks for joining the Forums of HP Support for a solution to your problem copying.

    I understand that you use a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium e-all-in-one with a computer and Windows 7 when you copy from sometimes flat it will only copy and print 1/8 of the page. I would like to help.

    You mentioned having unplugged and replugged the power cord. This is something that could be done. If you can, I reset the power and try to connect the printer directly to a wall outlet, if you currently use a protector or electrical surge extention. Sometimes the surge protectors can limit the amout of the power supplied to the printer.

    There was an update firmware released in April, which can help your printer. You can download the update of the firmware and run it from your computer to install it on the printer. You can go to the HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g_n Firmware download page by clicking here.

    Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance.

  • Photosmart 6520: Printer only printing partial photo

    Some of my photos Print OK on paper HP Advanced, but in some cases (well, one in particular) that part of the image is printed.  The amount of the picture that prints varies each time, but in all cases, the document presented by the photo tray is followed by a bunch of jumbled nonsense that prints on plain A4 paper.  You can see in the attached picture.

    I don't know if it's of any relevance, but I edited this particular image in Photoshop elements 13.

    Thank you very much

    Tim Jones Haveron

    How is the printer connected?  The problem you are experiencing seems to be a problem of communication between the computer and the printer.  If the printer is connected by a wireless LAN in the here document troubleshooting steps can help.  Print HP and the doctor http://www.hp.com/go/tools Scan may also help to identify interference problems.

    The fact that the problem occur at different places on the sons of page believe me it not related to the image or how it was edited.  It might be interesting to save the image to a memory card and that plug directly into the printer and try to print from there.

  • 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.

    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 HP 6520: Printer work and print a blank page, on its own without input from any computer or device.

    I use a configuration of Photosmart Printer series 6520 linked to a Comcast Cable modem router /wifi.  I use WPA2 security with a long password. (I also tried setting by using the system of the WPS - with changes in symptoms). With this router, the wifi connection I share with

    1. MacbookPro computer
    2. iPhone 6SPlus
    3. 12.9 inches iPad Pro

    The symptoms are:

    At random times during the day or night, you can hear computer works as if someone sent a print job.

    1. You go to the printer, and the front panel display is on.
    2. There is an empty of leaves paper ejected from the printer.

    In the night when in bed and all devices are disabled except router and of course the printer, I can hear the printer works and then I wake up the next morning and there is a blank sheet of paper in the output tray.  I'm off to put the paper in the paper tray.

    I keep the printer on 24 hours a day, because as ink jet printer inks tend to dry out the exposed to natural air. And HP recommends keep printer to prevent dry ink clogging in the head. I understand everything power is suspended unless the circuit warming (and it appeared to work that way until quite recently).

    Although it made no difference, I just update the HP Update version 5 driver sent from Apple.  It turns out that it is the wasted effort, and I lost my custom configurations because the driver for my printer has not been updated for at least two years. He always uses the version 4.2.5 of the driver. (El Capitan is X.11.6 with the latest security updates).

    Printer works fine otherwise.  Suggestions?

    Yes, it made no difference. The façade has finally exploded but ocassion, it still ejects a sheet or two of paper.  Guess it's irreparable. I can live with. Works fine in the case.  Just close it as insoluble.

  • Photosmart HP 6520: Printing photos from an iPad for photosmart HP 6520 out of proportion

    I have a problem with printing of photos/images from an iPad to the HP, HP 6520 wireless printer.  The photos are printed, the printer paper tray vs full size tray is selected, however the photos are out of proportion and not fully printed.  It seems that there is a type of zoom image enlargement when the pictues are printed, so the full image is not printed on paper.  The printer is correctly displayed on the iPad when you select a print option and the image is displayed as you wish on the preview of the iPad.  I was unable to locate any settings/settings to change it on the iPad setings or on the printer itself.  Is it possible to adjust the parameters, why are the proportions of the images sent to the printer via the iPad not correct?  Another wireless printing from a PC on the same network do not have this problem.  The wireless connection seems fine, the printer receives the image and print it, but not the image desired as the proportions have been increased or changed.

    Hello

    What application you are printing from? Apple AirPrint do not print any configuration.

    Try the HP ePrint mobile app, which should provide more customization capabilities:

  • Photosmart HP 6520 - print in color, not black and white

    I have had this printer for some time and configure options so that it used only the black cartridge unless I put it specifically to do otherwise when I wanted to color.  It worked well and I could switch between black and white and color very easily.  A few weeks ago, the printer started to ignore the options I would set and printed in color.  I double checked the parameters, and the printer is always set up for black and white, but now it completely ignores and still print in color.

    I tried the settings at the time of printing, and that indicates that the image in black and white, it still prints in color.

    I haven't added any software or made any changes to my pc.

    Can someone help me with this, please?

    Hi Lulu and thank you for the reply!

    I suggest to download and run the HP print and Scan doctor.  Once you have run the tool successfully, try again the configuration in black and white.

    Please let me know the results.
