• Hp7520 prints a fax several times

  My HP 7520 just started to print a fax several times. It was working fine before this. It seems to be of those who fail after 3 attempts to fax service.

  Hi chitchman7000,

  Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

  Sorry to hear that you are having problems with the printer print fax several times.

  Please remember that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a strip bar. HP printers have built in surge protector and if you have connected it to a strip bar, the printer will NOT get all the power it needs to function properly and it could cause communication problems with the part of the printer fax.  Here is a document that explains the problems when connected to an uninterruptible power supply/Strip/surge protector power.

  Please note that the printer listed in the document is a LaserJet printer, and it is used only as an example and that the document is intended for HP products in general.

  Please also check the telephone cable that is plugged into the number 1 slot in the back of the printer to make sure it's the appropriate cable two connectors of copper for the fax.  If you remove the cable from the phone and look at the transparent plastic at the end of the cable plug, you will be able to see the copper strips. If you see 4 strips then you have poorly connected phone cable and this could very well be the question.

  Please do not hesitate to write me again and I'll be happy to offer more assistance.

  Thank you for your time.

• The printer was DELETED several days, so I can't print something else

  I cancelled a print document. The printer was DELETED several days, so I cannot print another document. What can I do? Thank you.

  1. turn off the printer
  2. turn off the computer
  3. turn on the printer
  4. turn the computer

  That should dispel the jobs.  Do these steps in the exact order.

• When I print I get several pages with a feel a little on all the pages I want to print

  When I print, I get several pages with what I print with a few lines on each page until what I printed is finished.

  mamorse,

  Thanks for the additional info. Lets try to download and execute printing and scanning doctor found here. It may fix a lot on its own, but otherwise it will give us a better idea of what is happening. The weakness of the signal is not likely the culprit (because he worked for a long time) but we can try to change that if other steps fail.

• HP 6980 - Win 8 installs several printer icons in the Printers window

  My HP 6980 has worked for years with Vista.  Now that I have a new computer with Windows 8, I have multiple copies of HP 6980 icon in Printers window installation, usually labeled 'Copy 1'.  Sometimes none of the icons of the printer is "Ready", and I have to plug and unplug the USB cable until an icon appears as repeatedly ready.  Most of the time, one of the icons is ready, but I have to look for it. Anyone know what is happening with this?

  My problem was a 'bad' USB printer cable

  After waiting for Windows 8.1, thinking that he could solve my printer problem, I found that it was not resolved.  I decided to try once more to remove my printer installation and start over.

  I noticed that it took a long time to 'install' the printer, and when I went to try the USB connection at the end of the computer, I was pushing on the cable: when I did it, the printer installed immediately.  Of course the USB connection, while printing documents normally, couldn't handle the fast loading data associated with the installation of the printer.  I guess he was doing several connects that gave rise to multiple instances of the printer being installed.  My old Vista software seemed to be able to handle this, but not Win 7 or 8 Win.

  After installing a new printer cable USB, instance a printer's installation (copy 2), and it is always "ready".

• Several printers print color when I choose black and white

  Here's a strange. Using a 5520 and a 7520, two printers will only print in color, black and white. I made sure I select black and white, and I've updated my drivers. Any ideas? Others use these printers without this issue, then it might be on my end, but I have no idea what it would be.

  Hello @Alex-Tutorme, greetings!

  Thank you for joining the HP support forums, I would like to help

  I understand that you are having problems when printing in black and white in two of your printers.

  We will try to change the printing preferences:

  • Go to control panel - devices and printers - give a Photosmart 7520 (also on Photosmart 5520) right-click and select Printing Preferences.
  • Go to the tab "paper / quality" and make sure that 'Black and white' is selected.
  • Now, click on the 'Advanced' button - check to the option "print in grayscale". Make sure it is turned on. Apply and save the settings.

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

  See you soon

• How to restore the print spooler in the printers/faxes folder in Control Panel

  Recently discovered, I can't print because all the information of the printer in my printers and Faxes folder in Control Panel had disappeared.  When I clicked on "Add a printer" it is said "operation could not be performed.  The print spooler service is not running.

  When I tried different ways to study or to restore service, it does not appear that the print spooler service is here, so that no printer can be installed.

  I would like to know how to fix this problem and get the returned printers in service again.

  Help, please!

  Yes, I tried your suggestions.  It was useful, but it didn't completely solve my problem.  The spooler was still missing.

  I think that there is something different going on inside the machine, because other funny things started to happen, alarmed me thinking that there is some hidden virus eating away at the system code!

  I ran MS security scan several times and also McAfee Security Suite.  Security under the full Scan scan found a virus, but it doesn't seem to be the problem after I got Safetly purged, Scan it.  McAfee came up with nothing.

  So, the way I finally solved it my problem was to do a full restore from backup, and if the operating system was restored.  In this way, I know that the functions of the printer will be restored, who he was.

  Sorry did not had time to review all the details that you suggest, but I was running out of time to try too much, so the "faster" was a system restore as the surest way to get rid of all the problems and restore to the original code.

  Thank you, you have been very helpful.

• Photosmart 7520 random lines printed in italics

  Photosmart 7520 is attached to Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) OS.  When you print a page full of several lines of text in the body of the document get printed in italics, even if there should be no text in italic in the document.  The lines of print in italics seem randomly gnereated but remain constant over time, if minor changes are made to the document and it is re-recorded (same direction still print correctly and the same lines in italics).  If font type is changed, the lines printed in italics change.  I ran the printing software and Scan doctor.  She showed no errors.  I deleted the driver printer and downloaded/installed a new driver.  This does not solve the problem.  If I change the italic document police, all printed in italics.  Any help/advice would be most appreciated.

  Hi Lou,

  I'm so happy to hear that it's resolved!

  You absolutely can mark it as accepted solution, anyone else having this problem can be resolved as well.

  Have a great holiday!

  I recently published a several page article.  The printer has lack of to halfway ink, and I have replaced the cartridge.  Then print a page alignment and aligned on the cartridge.  He then printed the final part of the last scheduled task - but stopped before the last page.  I tried to cancel the document, but it does not appear in the print queue.  I shut off the printer, unpluggeed and back on it - she picked up during the same endgame as before, then stopped before the last page.  I tried to leave unplugged for a long period of time (several days) but no matter what, if I turn it on it goes through the same process.  Please help - I'm stuck!  Thank you!

• copies of the printed Material saved on printers?

  I would like to throw my old Deskjet 722C, but do not know if what was printed on this printer is recorded somewhere on a hard drive.  Printers normally save a copy of what they print?

  I actually hate to part with this printer, but it stopped working a long time ago and I have never been able to fix it.  Thanks for any help you can offer.

  The printer Deskjet 722 (both Deskjet 600, 700, 800 and 900 series printers) do not store any information document.  None of these printers have a hard drive or other containers to storage that could retrieve the documents.

  What is the problem with your Deskjet 722?  If you have described the symptoms (such as error messages see you on the computer or blinking lights on the printer), I can be able to offer some things you haven't tried.  Also mention your operating system.

• Horizontal line going through random pages printed by LaserJet P1102w

  From time to time, I see my P1102w print pages with a small horizontal stripe. This happens only on a single page (not the one just before or just after). I looked in the manual and don't see in the troubleshooting section.

  I doubt that there is toner low, such that it has less than 1000 pages are printed on the current toner.

  Any suggestions?

  
  HP LaserJet p1102w

  Nothing on this page that you linked to, adapted to my problem.

  I just changed a new toner, and after 75 pages or more, I have yet to see this horizontal line randomly. It was printing on pages 5 to 8 or more, then it is a fairly representative sample.

  It is strange, however, assuming that it is the toner. I got about 1000 pages out of it, maybe less, but it is a bit disappointing. I put in when I am done with this new toner, just to get my money, but still...

• Epson print driver changes both margins to address for the envelope printing. Three other printers print the addresses of envelope with correct margins.

  I bought a new all-in-one Epson Wireless WF-3540.  So new Epson technical support people had one to test my problem.  I like it a lot because it has two trays cassette for 250 pages each, and a page break back.  For the love of the work I do in this description I use the back form feed on the Epson only.

  Suppose I have a business letter in Word 2007 using Windows XP Pro.  My default printer is a HP 932 C.  I click on Mailings, Create, envelope and print it.  The result is the number 10 envelope with the address of the left retour.3,.3 of the top and the address of destination 2 inches high and 5 inches from the left.  Exactly the way I want it.  A selection button.

  Suppose I have install the new Epson WF-3540.  I opened the business SAME letter in the same Word 2007 using Windows XP Pro.  This time around with the Epson WF-3540, I followed the same procedure for click mail merge, Create, envelope and print.  The result is an envelope of number 10 with the return address 1.5 inches from left to right top et.4.  The destination address is 3 inches from the left and the top 2.25.  The non-professional delivery address looks and interferes with the USPS standards.

  I worked on the problem for two days.  I was on the phone with Epson for a total of four hours.  Here are the various attempts to set this right using the Epson WF-3540.

  1. in the Ribbon to create open envelopes, click options, and set the margins for the return and destination addresses as I would like.  I always use the et.3 valeur.3 return address and the destination address in 5 and 2.  I put these values in the options, click OK.  Print the envelope, and it is printed as I've described above with Epson.  In looking at the options for envelopes that they were changed to Auto.

  2. I have a test with the help of the same letter of businesss, Word 2007 and Windows XP.  I set the default printer to the HP.  This time I select envelope, add to the document.  I see an image of the envelope, watching leaders aside, it looks I want.  I close Word 2007, without saving the changes.  I have change the default printer to the Epson, open Word, the same letter from the company and select the envelope in the document.  It seems to appear in the same strange settings how it prints.

  3. I tried to change the margins of the envelope in the document with Epson as default.  When I try to print it throws an error telling me that I am trying to print outside margins.

  What are the effects of the behavior of the default printer?  Why the change in the appearance of the envelope both printed and in the document when I change printers.  What does the print driver? has to do with the formatting?  The installation of the Epson gives something in the registry that control margins almost anything.

  Epson told me there is no problem, but they are ready to buy the printer back to me.  Remember that they don't even have one to test on.

  I tried adding some dummy printers, without the actual printer and using the drivers only.  For example, I added an Epson ActionLaser 1100.  When I set it by default and use the same letter sales and Word 2007, I click on the envelope and add it to the Document, the addresses on the envelopes are exactly where I wait until they are, using the ruler on the side.

  What is - this subject a new printer is to control this mess?  I'd love to keep him.  I do a lot of letters and need the rear feed and must be able to one click printing envelopes.

  I had the same problem with my Epson WF-3540. Came to this site looking for the answer after the Epson site doesn't seem to have an answer. After reading the posts, I went to the printer, and I gave it a try more. I found what seems to be a solution but not transparent, that it worked.

  I noticed that when I tried to print the envelope property printer box shows the paper letter size (8 1/2 x 11) and not an envelope (#10). I changed the setting as the skin #10 and checked manually minimize margins. I then used the button Add presets save this as # 10 envelope as a new preset. This allows to print the envelope in the current printing of the page with the ability to use almost the entire surface of the envelope. You then switch to printing standard predefined when you are finished.
