I replaced my Photosmart 2570 all-in-One with Photosmart 5520. I can print to all programs except the HP Image Zone. It shows the right default printer. When I print a photo 4 x 6 prints only part, and it is slightly enlarged. My operating system is Windows XP. Do you need any other information? Thank you. Peggy
Hi PeggyOlson,
It is an older program used with your 2570. Try to download and install the new photo software from the link below.

All-in-one HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m requires the password wireless
All-in-one HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m we recently had to ge to a new Westell router for the wireless. the printer connects when we put the password but anytime the commection to the router go out it will not reconnect until the password is released. He seems to forget the password. System indicates that the software is up to date for the printer.
Hi ckmcgraw,
Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see that you have recently changed your wireless router and now when he loses the connection, you must enter the password on your HP Photosmart C309g to reconnect to the wireless network. The reason why this could happen, it's every time, it loses the connection to the router assigns a new IP address, which would require a password for the network.
You can set a static IP address for the printer, which should solve your password entry wireless every time, he loses the connection. See the steps below:
- Print a network from the front of the printer Configuration Page. Note the IP address of the printer.
- Type this IP address into a browser to reveal the internal settings of the printer.
- Choose the network tab, then wireless along the left side, then on the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen, you want to set a manual IP address. You must assign an IP address outside the range that the router sets automatically (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it's different, if so, use it)
- Enter the IP Address of your router (on the Page of the Network Config) for the gateway.
- Enter for the first DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for second DNS. It's Google DNS. You can choose a different external DNS if you wish.
- Click 'apply '.
Please let me know the result, I hope this helps!
Thank you

All-in-one HP Photosmart C3140: pension / Reset C3140 all-in-one for gift
Hi all
I'm retiring my all-in-one HP Photosmart C3140 printer/scanner. Is there a way to reset it completely, reformat or erase all the settings and memory on the machine, especially all preliminary scans?
I scanned documents with the bank details, social security numbers, etc. on the device, and want to be sure, that it is perfectly clean before giving. (That, or I guess I'll take a hammer to the old fashioned way!)
Thanks for your advice.
More complex? I guess that not on this printer. That's what the textbook says.

I bought the printer HP Photosmart Premium e-all-in-one C310 series yesterday night and desperately need to print today. However, the installation disc is not supported by my Mac happening on v10.7 Lion OSX. I read on a site that I should be able to access a software upgrade via the Apple website, but could not find the last night. Help, please!
Also, I loved the easy set-up using the touch screen and my wireless mode. No cables needed! Now, if I can get any software updated today, that will be great!

Your printer works perfectly in Leo. Indeed, pilots are probably aready in your operating system. Get the installation program and be able to use it. We have a doc that will guide you through the process. (It's pretty simple) OS X 10.7 Lion: install and use the printer with Lion
