Problem of photo printing on plain paper

My printer prints not clearly the picture on plain paper.

The color is set to automatic, after printing, colors are distorted, lines appear in print!

I was always able to do so until recently.

Any help would be greatly appreciated please!

Went to the local Agent of HP where he advised, that I need a new print head which cost about the same as a new printer... quite disappointed because my printer is 3 years old.  I did not had the extended warranty, believing the printers HP are reliable sound for at least 4 years.

Have now bought a new printer HP hopes this solves my problems

Thank you for your help

  • 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

  • Photosmart 7510 - will not print black on any parameter of photo paper (does not print on plain paper setting)?

    HP Potosmart 7510, printing from a memory card.  Using premium photo paper (glossy), set printer to print on HP Premium Plus Photo), printing out with Black/Brown areas in the blue-green instead of black.  Printing using plain paper, set printer on regular paper, just fine.    Same thing happens when I tried Advanced Photo and a Photo paper - print comes out with a blue-greenish cast in areas that should be black/brown.

    Tried to print a black and white photo - identical to all other attempts - if the choice of the photo options paper, the dark areas are blue/green.

    Comment - then try printing from the computer (wireless), produced the same result - black areas are printed in blue-greenish.

    Tried cleaning the cartridges, alignment printer, print quality status report looks very good.

    Door on this forum and general web search.  Nothing has yet solved problem.

    What should I do?  Any ideas/suggestions?

    Yes, this is the case on a 7510.  I worked on the answer.  Although "ink" diagnostice demonstrates both the black and the cartridges 'photo black' as being low, the 'black photo' was apparently empty.  The black of the photo must be called only because when the print properties are defined for the "photo paper", and when it is empty the black dark areas print in blue-green.  I thought that the black photo cartridge was a gray, for most thin shades grey, but maybe it's an intensifier of some sort.  It's a shame that HP does publish no real information.

  • Hp5940 DeskJet not print envelopes but will be printed on plain paper

    I used an old win98 computer with my HP5940 printer and it worked fine.  Now I have a win XP computer and downloaded and installed the appropriate drivers. The printer works fine except it does not print envelopes. It will be however print address and return address on plain paper to the correct size.

    Hi Red-3,.

    I don't really know why it is not printing the envelope on the model, but working on the other model.

    I would like to change the type of paper to the size of the paper to see if that will deceive drivers by impression on her, instead of the envelope.

    I had this job for Laserjet printers.

    If the problem persists, then I recommend you to call the HP Technical Support for further assistance, they can remotely in the computer to see more of what's going on. Call the 800-474-6836.

  • HP 6500 quickbooks ck does not print but plain paper is ok

    My 6500 worked properly and had printed one of the two controls when he stopped a given error code paper mismatch.  I checked the configuration and everything seemed OK. He even printed the correct audit on paper, but whenever I inserted the controls, he gave the same shift code and does not print. This are not the new controls and after the update to quickbook pro 2013 all printed fine for a week.

    Hey jcort,

    There are things you can try in this case.  I assume that you are using a Windows PC, is this correct?

    If so, then open the printers or printers and faxes for older versions of Windows and devices page.

    • Right-click on the printer
    • Select the printer properties
    • At the top of the general tab: change the name of the long name just HP 6500 printer and click on apply

    I've seen some strange problems with Quickbooks in the past when a printer name is too long.  Can not solve the problem, it is a good step in a first time for questions of Quickbooks.

    So, I saw people having some success in defining quality in project mode, when you attempt to print checks from this software suite.  Print in draft mode can disable paper sensors that generate paper mismatch error.  The check is printed if you set the draft mode?

  • envy7640: want 7640 printer does not print photos on plain paper

    All of a sudden, I can't print a picture on plain paper - guard asks me to load the photo paper tray, even though preferences set for plain paper printing and plain paper is selected in the print window.  (These are not photos but documents scanned in JPEG format by others, so I just want what they free paper).  Regular printing and all other functions work fine.

    First of all, I use pictures of MS Office or Windows Photo Viewer Manager or just called photo library.  All three seem to be essentially the same program with different names and are pretty basic.

    The setting in my default printer via control center/devices/Printers Windwos options has always been the main tray (and has always been), so I thought that everyone must be thin and thought why this person tell me to do what I've done?

    So I dug deep into the programs print options and indeed saw the photo tray has been chosen.  The real mystery is how, in these programs, the status bar setting went from main to photo. I did that, and I don't see how he could have accidentally changed. You see, I have photos properly printed on plain paper before using these programs, so I know - now - that they should have been put to the main tray.  Maybe I'll never know.

    But no matter, you answer prompted me to explore more deeply, and voila, all is well now.

    Thank you.

  • In plain paper Photo quality is terrible...

    Hello

    First of all, excuse me my bad English.

    I have a Photosmart Premium C309g, and I have problem with printing photos using plain paper. The colors are horrible.

    If I print a normal document, such as a table excel with graphics, the colors are correct.

    If I print a photo that the glossy paper, the quality is excellent. Perfect. I used the paper provided with your printer.

    However, if I print the same photo for a plain paper, the colors are little different. I'll try to explain: it's like red is a little more pink, Brown had a little yellow, some white - as in the shade - go blue... It's like the right color but incorrect tone (?).

    I know, it's hard to explain but I really need help.

    I tried the new installation of driver using a laptop and the same thing happen.

    I tried new cartridges (the old cartridges still have ink) but the same thing happen.

    I tried to clean the print head using the Toolbox of the printer, but nothing changes, except the ink level.

    My old HP 1510 print photos perfectly plain paper

    The problem also happens on Linux...

    Windows 7 x 64 / latest version of the drivers.

    When printing on photo paper, that the photo black ink is used, the normal black is used for plain paper.  The question that you see may be due to the normal black print does not correctly.

    See thesteps in this troubleshooting documentation.  In Solution 6, colors appear correct?  If the troubleshooting steps in the page above do not correct the problem, then thepage here can solve the problem

  • Photosmart 6520: Photosmart 6520, plain paper, quick project

    during the last eighteen months, I did most of my black and white and color printing "pre-printed, quick project" under Presets. I also had the possibility of Photo paper, plain paper, Best Paper and plain black and white. I went on vacation and since returning I lost this election. I now have the choice of the project B & W B & W or color (sic!)

    Printing on plain paper, quick project is ideal for most of my impression that frequently included spot color. In order to print anything with color now, I have to use a lot more ink. I'm assuming that something has been updated while I was away, I can turn the clock back? I use Microsoft Office for Mac on an iMac and MacBook Pro. On the MacBook, the printer is Photosmart 6520 series but grayed out and Photosmart 6520 series (5AE5SCE), which is what shows on my iMac. (I got the MacBook Pro with me on vacation) Help please.

    Oops, sorry for the confusion...

    Just keep the color and enable Fas project listed, plain paper should already be default, or you can select in the form, then save the settings as the required preset.

    Kind regards

  • Slow printing when printing on 6x8inch paper. With the help of my new printer HP Deskjet 1514.

    When I print on a page size 6 x 8 inch using black ink, the time taken to print the page is 1 Minute 40 seconds. It is indeed very slow!

    When I print the same exact pages on A4, the time taken to print the page is 15 seconds. This is acceptable!

    I use Windows 7 and Office 2007.

    In addition, no error message is displayed.

    Help, please!

    What are the parameters of type of paper? The speed to 6 x 8 paper resembles results would happen if printing on photo paper.

    If you are printing on plain paper make sure plain paper is selected in the driver.

  • C7280 WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY PRINT ON REGULAR PAPER

    I have a PhotoSmart C7280.  Whenever I want to print a document I have to go into preferences and use the General print option.  Is there a way I can it set up to always print on plain paper first?  I make a document more than photo printing.  THANX

    Open Control Panel
    Open fax machines and printers
    Right-click on the printer icon and choose Printing Preferences.
    Make the necessary changes here and click OK.

    This should do the trick.

  • Printing with different paper size (hp deskjet 940c)

    I sell things on ebay; Therefore, I have to go to the post office every day and write the shipping address of the vendors on a label of post office.  I want to print this label at home.  How can I set up a usps label in my hp deskjet 940c printer.

    Hello!

    I used the USPS print on eBay Wizard to print a label for shipping on my printer.  If you are printing on plain paper, then use ribbons of packaging on the label, you are finished.  Also, they will pick up your packages at home, if you use a pre-printed label.  Stamps make nervous, however.

    The next time you sell something, there should be a link "print shipping label", you can click on.  You must measure the box and have a fairly accurate weight.  I use a scale, then round.  If you have a kitchen scale, which would work better, I think.

    According to me, who must take care of it!  I would like to know if you have any questions or encounter a problem.

    Best regards, CF

    Hello again-

    I am pleased to learn that the passage is a practical solution for you.

    The other possible solution which seemed to be a finding a setting under print quality-> Optimize-> light Media and put on IT.

    I don't have a CM6040MFP to check this setting, but it's just an alternative to consider.

    Personally I have found that a high coverage near the leading edge of the media, some printers can sometimes cause an increased rate of jam.  So I think that your shift is a viable solution.

    Good luck!

  • HP Photosmart 7515 photo printing paper is no good

    Fine, I can print a color picture on plain paper.  When I print the same photo on glossy photo paper black clothes all look green.  My print quality diagnostic report shows NO problem.  This happens for two 4 X 6 and 8 1/2 X 11 paper.

    HP 7515 has five cartridges.  My problem was solved when I replaced the black Photo cartridge, rather than the Magenta cartridge.  The black Photo cartridge was the original cartridge of the configuration, and the Print quality Diagnostic report showed yesterday that there little ink.  But apparently not enough!
