Unable to print on CD/DVD printable C5380

I just bought a Photosmart C5380 to replace my Epson sick.  Load on an iMac than 2.4 GHz with Snow Leopard and all the latest updates and drivers.  Prints and scans very well... almost.  I'm unable to printon a printable CD/DVD.  Lower the door CD/DVD and prssing OK brings up a message telling me to use the CD/DVD software to print.  But I can't find anything.  The manual I have in front of me told me I should use the software provided with the product to create and print on a CD/DVD.  I can't find anything!  I downloaded HP Photosmart studio, but that doesn't seem to work.

Hey all,.

When we developed the drivers and software for Snow Leopard, there were some problems getting CD/DVD printing to work.  We decided to go with the release of the software without the CD/DVD printing functionality.  In the meantime, we modified the HP Photo Studio software and got everything working in 10.6 again.

So, what should you do?

#1-make sure you have the latest drivers from 10.6 to your printer downloaded and installed from hp.com.

#2-go here: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/united-states/pse/hp_photosmart_studio_software.dmg and download and install HP Photo Studio.

You will now be able to print on CD/DVD by HP Photo Studio.

  • Photosmart D5160 with Windows 7; Unable to print on CD/DVD

    I installed my Photosmart D5160 on my new HPE180t.  I used the "HP Photosmart and Deskjet full feature software and drivers" for Windows 7 64-bit.  Before, with Windows XP and HP Photosmart first, I was able to print on a CD/DVD.  Now, HP Photosmart Essential replaced HP Photosmart first, and I'm unable to print on CD/DVD.

    This same question was also documented on this forum, but no resolution found: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-and/Photosmart-D5160/m-p/154007/highlight/tr...

    I chatted with HP Technical Support online and they had me install Roxio Express Labeler for Windows Vista and run it in compatibility mode.  The result was that I was able to print on a CD/DVD, but the image has been moved to the top.  HP technical support said that I should buy a third-party CD/DVD printing software and they suggested call me Nero to determine what software to use.

    My questions:

    1. is this a known problem, the fact that the D5160 impossible to print on CD/DVD with Photosmart Essential and Windows 7?

    2. If someone has had this problem, what do you do to solve the problem?

    3. Another option would be to buy a new HP printer that prints on CD/DVD?  If so, what printer?

    Thank you very much

    That's what I did to solve my problem:

    1. buy a HP Photosmart D7560 h

    2 use Windows Photo Viewer to print on CD/DVD

    Note 1: The only way to buy the HP Photosmart D7560 h through HP's through its "upgrade" program, because this printer is no longer available via the HP shopping site.  Do NOT buy the D7560 h through the 'upgrade' of HP program because you will receive a refurbished printer.  After talking with the resolution of HP service, they advised me to buy this printer to a retailer who sells this printer yet.  I bought my new HP Photosmart D7560 h from newegg.com.

    Note 2: This printer (D7560 h) also uses the HP Photosmart Essential 3.5 when you use Windows 7, like the HP D5160.  When I installed the EP 3.5 and only had a printer is installed (as opposed to a printer and scanner HP), the 3.5 HP allow for printing on CD/DVD via the HP Solution Center.  The problem (not being able to print on CD/DVD via PE 3.5) occurred when I plugged in and installed my HP Scanjet G4050 scanner, which also uses the HP Solution Center.

    Note 3: I believe tha the D5160 could work with Windows 7.  It may be able to print on a CD/DVD, if you do not have an another printer/scanner HP device installed on your computer.  It may be able to print on a CD/DVD using the Windows Photo Viewer.

    Note 4: To replace the cartridges of 5 ink (XL) on the HP Photosmart D7560 h, it costs a total of $115.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.  Bottom line... I am able to print on CD/DVD with the D7560 h on Windows 7 operating system but I don't have to use the Photo of Windows display program.

    Take care

  • Unable to print on CD/DVD with Photosmart D5460

    I bought a Photosmart D5460 specifically to print on a CD, it used to work, now it doesn't. I get the message that this printer not print CD nonsupport, but if I leave the OPI of the CD tray tells me that I have to close it before you print it. I thought that maybe the toSnow Leopard upgrade did damage, but I installed the original software on an olderG4 under Leopard. No luck. What is a printer firmware issue?

    I use an Intell Mac running OS x 10.6.5. The pilot is 4.2, the print utility is 4.8.5 and HP studio is 9.8.1

    The problem is the oldest software installed.  It is mess up the works.  You will need to uninstall the software 10.5 using HP uninstaller, restart your Mac and then add your printer to print and fax.  For 10.6 drivers are already in the operating system.  It may ask you that there is an update, let the Mac download and install this update.  Then, download and install the HP Photo Studio's Mac OS X v 10.6 found here.

  • Unable to print black and white with an empty cartridge

    My printer will not print not black-and-white, except when a color cartridge is replaced empty.

    How can I print black with an empty color in place cartridge?

    Some IIC (individual ink cartridge) printers have print heads that require ink available for periodic maintenance tasks. This avoids problems with hooves in the print head and the bad print quality. The following printers are unable to print when a cartridge is empty, even if the other cartridges.

    If one or more color ink cartridges are low but not empty and you want to minimize the use of color ink, you can change the settings in the HP software to print in black ink only (grey levels). Even if you change the print settings to print in black ink only, the other ink cartridges still have ink in them so that the printer to print.

    If you choose to print in black ink only, the printer always uses small amounts of ink from all cartridges for occasional maintenance tasks. HP recommends to replace the low ink cartridges in order to avoid any interruption in printing.

  • Hp6700: Unable to print from my ipad

    Recently changed internet service providers and now I am unable to print from my iPad to my wireless printer.  My iPhone works, and the computer works, but cannot print anything on my iPad.

    Sorry to hear that you are experiencing printing problems.

    Try to restart your apple device - it's a simple solution that sometimes allows to restore the connection to the printer.

    Other things to check would be that there has been no recent changes to the wifi password and the password for wifi on the ipad has been updated.

  • How to print on a DVD using a Mac?

    I use a Mac. I bought the camera HP Photosmart to print on DVDs. I can't find any information on how to do it. The instructions says to use the software. What software? There are very little help showing how to set up works of art. After a frustrating hour, I finally found the HP Photosmart and printed using CD/DVD utility, 120 mm. It prints on the DVD but larger than the actual image. He make a mess everywhere in the status bar. I used 'Crop Photo to Best Fit' but it does not help. I started with a picture of the circle and saved as a jpeg file. I'm about to return this unit to the store. I hope you can help register me as a customer!

    You may want this repost on the forum of the printer that you are using a printer and printing software.

  • Unable to print emails because of popups blockers

    When I try to print emails, I have a message "Unable to print no doubt caused by popup blocker, try again" but still cannot print. How can I get rid of this?

    Ian,

    When you want to print, what happens when you press on and hold the Ctrl key? By pressing the Ctrl will usually allow the popup which would be blocked, to happen.

    Press in and hold the Ctrl key, then click on your was to print.

  • Canon BJC-265SP, but after Setup printer, still unable to print

    I use the 64 bit and Canon BJC-265SP, window but after Setup printer, still unable to print. The installation works fine with 64 bit window.  Please advice.

    Hello

    1. What is the error message you get when you try to print?
    2. what operating system is installed on your computer?

    If you use Windows 7, check if the Canon BJC-265SP is compatible with the operating system on the Compatibility Web site (your device is however not listed).

  • hp5610: unable to print from the internet regardless of search engine

    I'm unable to print from the internet regardless of internet search engine. I ran the impression scanning hp doctor who shows no match port, I don't know what that means.

    Mikev

    Welcome to the community of HP @mikiev,

    I read your current and previous posts about how you can't print from the internet, and I wanted to answer you with my suggestions. I understand that you have tried to use different however search engines, try to return to my colleague's response @RnRMusicMan on the link below and try to use another web browser altogether. Again, if you use Google Chrome, try Firefox or Internet Explorer.

    If Chrome and Firefox will not print, try printing from NotePad, which is a program that is preinstalled on your system to see if the draws work from there.

    You can also try uninstalling and reinstalling Google Chrome or Firefox, whatever one you use often, to see if that helps the printing problem.

    Let me know what is happening and we can go from there!

    Good luck
