Setup troubleshooting
If the
HP Photosmart
doesn’t turn on...
If you are unable
to print...
1. Check the power cord.
• Make sure the power cord is firmly connected to both the printer and the power adaptor.
A light on the power supply will be on if the power cord is working.
• If you are using a power strip, check that the power strip is turned on. Or, plug the printer
directly into a power outlet.
• Test the power outlet to make sure that is working. Plug in another appliance that you
know works, and see if it has power. If not, there may be a problem with the power outlet.
• If you plugged the printer into a switched outlet, check that the outlet is turned on.
2. Turn off the printer, and then unplug the power cord. Plug the power cord back in, and then
press the button to turn on the printer.
3. Take care not to press the button too quickly. Press it only once. It might take a few minutes
for the printer to turn on, so if you press the button more than once, you might be turning
off the printer.
4. If you have completed all the above steps, but are still having a problem, contact HP support
for service. Go to www.hp.com/support.

Print documents and photos
• Use the Print menu on the printer display to print documents and photos from software
applications on a connected computer.
• Print photos directly from a memory card in various sizes and papers.
• Use the Photo menu on the printer display to browse photos, apply automatic fixes, and make
selections.
• Print on both sides of the page (two-sided printing).
• Photo Black cartridges and Photo cartridges are interchangeable. Photo Black cartridges were
renamed to Photo cartridges to reduce confusion with regular Black cartridges.
• When installing new cartridges, refer to the graphic on the cartridge wrap for instructions.
Make sure to remove the plastic wrap and the orange tab before twisting off the orange
plastic cap.
• Ink from the cartridges is used in the printing process in several ways, including:
• Initialization, which prepares the printer and cartridges for printing
• Printhead servicing, which keeps print nozzles clear and ink flowing smoothly
• Also, some residual ink is left in the cartridge after it is used. For more information, go to:
www.hp.com/go/inkusage.
Copy documents in color or black and white
• Use the Copy menu on the printer display to make copies in color or black and white.
• To copy a single page, open the lid and place the original onto the right front corner of the
glass, print side down.
• To copy more than one page at a time, place the originals into the document feeder tray,
print side up.

Features and tips
Print from anywhere
Note: A USB connection by itself won’t enable ePrint. To use ePrint, the printer must be connected
to the Internet through a router, either wirelessly or via an Ethernet cable. This type of connection is
different than a USB connection between the printer and a computer.
HP’s free ePrint service provides an easy way to print from email, anywhere and anytime. Just
forward an email to your printer’s email address from your computer or mobile device, and both
ePrint
the email message and recognized attachments will print.
• Attachments may print differently than they appear in the software program that created them,
depending on the original fonts and layout options used.
• Free product updates are provided with this service. Some updates may be required to enable
certain functionality.
Your printer is protected
To help prevent unauthorized email, HP assigns a random email address to your printer, never
publicizes this address, and by default does not respond to any sender. ePrint also provides
industry-standard spam filtering and transforms email and attachments to a print-only format to
reduce the threat of a virus or other harmful content.
• The ePrint service does not filter emails based on content, so it cannot prevent objectionable
or copyrighted material from being printed.
How to get started with ePrint
To use ePrint, you need to have your printer connected to the Internet.
• Press the Wireless button on the HP Photosmart front panel. (Do this even if you have an
Ethernet connection.)
• Select the Web Services menu from the printer display. From here, you can turn the service on
or off, display the printer email address, and print an information page.

Apps
ePrintCenter
Print from the web, without a computer
Important: A USB connection by itself will not enable Apps. To use Apps, the printer must be
connected directly to the Internet through a router, either wirelessly or via an Ethernet cable. This
type of connection is different than a USB connection between the printer and a computer. The
only exception is the Quick Forms app, which includes several standard forms that are stored on
your printer. The printer does not need to be connected to the Internet to print them. If the printer is
connected to the Internet, you have access to more Quick Forms as they become available.
• Use the Apps menu to print documents directly from the web, without a computer.
• Print coupons, news articles, puzzles, recipes, coloring pages, crafts, calendars, cards,
notebook paper, and more.
• Free product updates are provided with this service. Some updates may be required to enable
certain functionality.
Use the HP ePrintCenter website
Use HP’s free ePrintCenter website to set up increased security for ePrint, specify the email
addresses that are allowed to send email to your printer, get more Apps, and access other free
services.
• Go to the ePrintCenter website for more information and specific terms and conditions:
