Photosmart HP 7520: printing the ascii at top of page

Bought this printer about a year ago.  All that it worked very well, but recently.  When you try to print a large document, it will print the first pages with no problems, but all of a sudden it will start blank pages to print with ASCII characters in the top of the page or brands of black smear on the left side of the page.  It will go through about 20 pages of that until I can cancel the print job.

I just tried to print two pages at a time and it worked for the first 20 pages and now he's doing it again.

With the HP software on the computer, I looked to see if there was an upgrade of the printer and it came back that he was not.

Basically, this printer has become useless!

    When you use airprint from iPad/iPhone to HP printer, the document is printed on Photo paper and not Std paper - how do you want to chaange this defect? THX!

    Try to check the settings of the tray from the printer and check if this may help you, those are the only parameters that may be applicable to the side of the printer, AirPrint itself does not offer such control.

    Of the printer, click the configuration option, and then select Preferences.

    Select printer selected tray, then select main tray and confirm, now try to print and check to see if that can help you.

  • Photosmart HP 7520: CHANGE THE configuration FOR MY PRINTER HP 7520 wireless

    When my printer has been set up by my neighbour she has implemented using his MAC wireless network.  She moves and will dismantle its printer and now I wonder if my printer still works or I need to set up wireless myself.  If so, how do that before she moves so my printer does not work?  A computer expert quoted me the sum of $150.00 to do this for me, but I hope I won't have to resort to that.  Thanks for your help.

    Hi @filgrastin and welcome to the Forums!

    I see that you are looking in the wireless options. I would like to help.

    There are two routes, you can opt for printing, if you lose the network, sure it is.

    First of all, if you have your own wireless network, you can connect to:

    The software configuration of the printer to a wireless network for the e-all-in-one printer series HP Photosmart 7520

    Second, you can connect a USB cable and print via a wired connection.

    Please let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  • I have a photosmart hp7510 this prints the second page upside down - mac 10.7.5 duplex.

    I have an iMac running 10.7.5. I just purchased and installed a Photosmart 7510 - because the guy at the Apple store said double-sided printing. It's - second side upside down. I downloaded the latest drivers. At least, I think that I did, on the HP site. In the pain of the preference system, I chose "duplex unit". When I print a document in portrait of multi pages I want two-sided, in the printer dialog box I select two gutter on the side face and long. The result is that the second page is upside down. As if I chose binding short side. If I change my binding on the short side, I still get the same results. The second page is upside down. I searched all over the web a solution. I've seen all sorts of 'solutions '. Including the ole standby to print it even turn the pages and printing all odd. I bought this printer, so I didn't have to do. I downloaded a program that everything converted to PDF format and was supposed to solve the problem. Nope.  I can't be the only one with this problem, I can. I never thought that I was unique.

    That's all. Confusing since I tried the features "airprint", that's what I chose. Removal of the Photosmart designated airprint and adding Photosmart solved the problem. Thank you.

  • Why HP Laset Jet P2055dn prints the word "project" on each page

    Each page what print says "draft" on it.  Anyone know why?  The ink cartridge becomes weak?

    Is the 'project': about 45 degrees and large-print light?  Probably, it is the watermark setting in the driver.  Check your driver settings.

  • Photosmart HP 7520: Software HP errors - HP Active health - event error ID - warning events - 12

    I get a bunch of error messages in my Logs of Windows - application pertaining to the recently installed HP Software & drivers for my Photosmart HP 7520. The source is HP health Active. The HP software is fully updated. How can I fix these error messages?

    Thanks for the reply Marcelus. I think that the problem is solved. I removed the HP software and made a few corrections to my OS registry. Then reinstalled the HP software without some of the programs extranous. I don't see any errors related to HP for the moment.

    It's a clean install of Windows 7 Pro x 64. During installation, I used the Microsoft Automated Installation Kit (AIK) to move my user folder and the ProgramData folder to drive D:\. Apparently, the AIK operation has a few bugs. There are two registry keys that were not updated with the new location of the car and a still show Shell Folders on drive C:\. The affect is that programs created new ProgramData folders on drive C:\ while most have been created on the disk D:\.  I uninstalled a few programs that have been affected by the conflict to register and published the registy to be compatible with the users folder and the ProgramData folder on the drive D:\.  Everything is going well at the moment.

  • I want to print the username in each page using the network printer. To identify which print this page.

    Print the computer name on each page using a network printing

    Dear all,
    Help on this issue. I want to print the username in each page using the network printer. To identify which print this page.

    As much as I know that you can't do this with every printed page, but you can use the separation pages (* .sep) and have this printed on a single page at the beginning of each print job.

    Tip: Put the separator page in the folder % WINDIR%\System32.

    See here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/102712

    .Sep file is just a text document, the following prints only the user name:

  • print the allignment on hp photosmart 7520

    I have a HP all-in-one printer - Photosmart 7520.  I would like to know if it is possible to adjust the placement of the printing on the paper?

    The text is placed as it is expanded so that the header & foot are cut in two along the top and bottom of the document.

    This can be solved?  Thank you

    Chuck Sahlin

    Hello chuck!

    I saw your post on your 7520 Photosmart not print not the header and the foot correctly on your impressions. I suggest you check the preview option before printing before you print the document to see if the program itself is you showing the right format. Please let me know what it is like to preview before printing.

    If print preview looks correct however, printing out shows otherwise, try to align the print heads: step five in this document: issues of print head

    If the problem seems to be in the program you are printing from, let me know what program and what operating system you are using.

    a. This can be done by pressing the icon on the printer wireless.

    2. Enter the printer's IP address in a browser.

    3. Select the Web Services tab.

  • Photosmart HP 7520 - erasure of the tapes through photo printed on plain paper to A4

    Montain Lion 10.8.1 operating system

    I want to print some black and white photos on plain paper in A4 format and each time it prints with about 1.5 cm wide strips all the way across the paper in different shades of black (e.g. pale and dark).

    The tapes show vertical here because the page was printed in landscape mode.

    I cleaned and aligned to the printhead about 4 times but the problem persists.  Even when I print the print quality diagnostics page, it shows the same bands on the color blocks.

    This is what it looks like:

    Can someone please

    Thank you very much

    Hi stix4, thank you very much for your answer.

    All I have is genuine HP cartridges. I just tried (and managed to get to the HP Technical Support!)

    Had to go into the service menu and proceed with the instructions given, but the problem persists.

    They are sending me a new printhead that I hope will sort the problem.

    Once again, thanks a lot
