• Assistant printer for HP Photosmart 5520?

  I just plugged a newer PC from one office to another to replace a piece of scrap that was Windows XP and does not start. The worker who received the said new workstation says that he had printer Assistant on his old office for its 5520. I made a shortcut to the printer which can then right-click to analyze, but he says that is not what he used to do. Where and how can I get the printer to a 5520 assistant? Download the drivers again?

• do I need a router to print on my photosmart 5520

  I have a 5520 allin hp photosmart printer and it is very difficult to connect it to the radio, I need a router or the printer does not

  banhien is right the information he gave to you. I would add a little more to that. The type of connection banhien described is known as an AD-HOC connection. The way in which this subject has been designed, it will remain only on for an hour at a time. This is done to prevent the wireless radio to take the space of connection on the device, it connects too. I recommend to do a wireless router if you do not. It is the better and more stable way to connect to a wireless printer. Here are the instructions for a classic wireless connection. I hope this helps to better answer your question.

• Printing problems with Photosmart HP 6520 e-all-in-one on a Mac

  Hello!

  I just successfully saved and connected via WiFi to my new HP Photosmart 6520 e-all-in-one pritner. I even printed the page alignment and test successfully.

  When I tried to print documents in Word, Adobe PDF and TextEdit, the same result occurs each time. The first page that prints a text on my Mac such as:

  %! PS-Adobe - 3.0
  % APL_DSC_Encoding: UTF8
  % APLProducer: (Version 10.8.2 (build 12 c 60)

  And then many many many blank pages start printing after that. WHAT GIVES!

  I use a MacBook Pro with OSX Version 10.8.2 and tried to restart my printer and computer several times without success. Any help with this would be much appreciated!

  Download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907

  Restart your Mac.

  Reset the printing system:

  -Go to System Preferences > print & Scan
  -Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
  WARNING - This will remove ALL your printers!
  -Select the sign more to add a printer. Select the default tab on the top of the window. Search for the printer, select it, and then beside the dropdown 'Use', select the model of the printer (not AirPrint). Wait for the 'Add' button becomes available. Until it clicks.

• Printer jam HP Photosmart 5520 cleared but printer refused to print.

  I had a printer jam and allowed as usual. The offending page has been removed and it is together, with no part of it remains in the printer. But the window statement printer keeps saying there is a paper jam and tells me to delete it, and then click OK, and that he refuses to print. I tried to go through the process of 'unlock' again, several times. I have re-charge several times the paper in the tray. I turned off the printer and the computer. I removed the print request in the queue on the computer. I repeated all these actions.  Nothing has made any difference. My operating system is Windows 8:1. Can anyone help please?

  DaCu salvation,

  Thank you for answering my questions and have tried the solutions proposed.

  This really sounds like a disputed associated hardware, the fact that you have gone through the paper jam guide, and that the printer is unable to make copies. With the printer is in warranty, I would certainly recommend to you please call our technical support at the 800-474-6836.

• New Photosmart 5520 will not print in black

  I have a new HP Photosmart 5520 printer all-in-one.  Black ink ran out so I replaced it with a previously used ink cartridge which is of the same type # 564 but a XL version.  This cartridge has been barely used.  Now, I just can't get anything to print in black.  It will print in color, but not black.  I tried to turn off the printer.  I put the cartridge in my printer and it worked fine.  What should I do?

• HP Photosmart 5520: HP Photosmart 5520 suddenly will not print or scan

  Suddenly is no longer able to scan or print on HP Photosmart 5520. With the scan function I use scanning to e-mail, but, after long 'Preparation scanning' on the screen of the printer, the error message "temporarily unavailable.  "Please try again later". With the impression that I use Google Cloud Print (from an Acer Chromebook) and all that happens is that the demand to print everything ends up in a queue of print jobs.  No error message appears on the printer screen. The copy function works fine.  Wireless network printing results are very good.  The printer worked fine for over a year.  Can anyone help?  Thanks in advance.

  Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer.

  It's all very mysterious, but it seems to have corrected itself.  Finally, the 'out of paper' error message appeared yesterday (there were many), I pushed in the paper and things started to print again.  I was also able to rescan.  Not sure if she was no longer a problem of Google or what but we are in service again.

  Thank you very much!

• Difference between printers Photosmart 5524 and Photosmart 5520

  6 months ago, I bought a printer Photosmart 5524. She had to be returned for repair and a replacement printer has been returned.  The replacement printer is a Photosmart 5520.

  What is different between the two models of printer? There are all the specifications of each model that highlight these differences that I could print?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  The Photosmart 5520 and 5524 are in fact the same product and its specifications are identical.

  Two devices are submodels of the same product series.

  You can find the specifications below, as you can see listed the same features apply to both models:

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I see that you get a secure page and that you are unable to print black on your HP Photosmart 5520 e-all-in-one printer. I'd be happy to help you with this.

  I like that you get the login screen for the Built-in Web server for the printer. Is this correct? This seems to indicate that someone has put a username and password on the printer, for security reasons. If you don't know what are the connection information, the only way to remove this is to do a factory reset on the device. I can send you this information in a private message. In the forum next to your handle name simply click on the envelope to see.

  That being said, I would like to start here. Please, try the steps in this guide, the printer prints blank Page or fact not printing black or color ink for HP Photosmart 5520 and Deskjet Ink Advantage 5520 series e-all-in-one printer.

• 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!

• Default AirPrint of reversal of the rather long and short side (printer Photosmart 5520)

  Hello

  When I used to print from my iPad via AirPrint on both sides on my printer HP Photosmart 5520, it used to print, so that you may browse on the long side. For some reason, it changed to printing, so it switches to the short side.

  How can I change by flipping on the long side?

  My son has discovered a fix for this problem. We have now tried on three iPads and whenever he has set.
  The solution is to disable double-sided printing in the options when you are about to print a document and then turn it back on.
  After that the only time anything printed duplex will be sharp long printed not short edge.
  It is not a rocker, I can't get my iPad to print double-sided on the short side now (not that I want to), for some reason once you turned two-sided printing off and on again, long-back becomes the permanent default.
  Weird!
  
  P.S. He arranges for all applications.

• HP Photosmart 5520 All in One printer cancels an order of copy of the glass

  HP Photosmart 5520 All in One printer & HP Pavilion dm1 Notebook PC

  I put a document on the glass of the printer to make a copy. The command is recognized, but cancelled immediately. The first two attempts were given a bit of text/photo about 1 centimeter.

  I used the doctor scanning HP and installed my printer again, but that has not helped.

  Hi RodeDraak,

  Given that the problem occurs when you run a copy, I hope that the problem is the printer hardware not the software on the computer.

  You have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or is this a surge protector or power bar? Even if you have used a surge protector/power bar this whole time and you feel that this is not the case, please connect to a wall outlet so that we can eliminate the source of energy as the primary cause.
