Printing problems

Before contacting HP support, read this section for troubleshooting tips or go to the online support services at www.hp.com/support.
The printer does not print borderless photos when I print from a digital camera
Solution Make sure you have photo paper in the photo tray. The printer only uses
media from the photo tray (not main tray) when printing from a digital camera.
Printing is very slow
Solution You may have one of the following situations: 1) you may be printing a
PDF or a project containing high-resolution graphics or photos or 2) you may have selected the highest resolution for your printout. Large, complex projects containing graphics or photos print slower than text documents, especially at higher resolutions.
Paper does not feed into the printer correctly from the main tray
Solution
There may be too much paper loaded in the tray. Remove some paper and try printing again.
The main tray may not be pushed in all the way. Push the main tray all the way in.
The paper guides may not be adjusted correctly. Make sure the paper-width and paper-length guides fit close to the edges of the paper without bending the paper.
Two or more pieces of paper may be sticking together. Remove the paper from the main tray, fan the edges of the stack to separate the sheets of paper, then reload the paper and try printing again.
If the paper is wrinkled or bent, try using different paper.
The paper may be too thin or too thick. Use HP inkjet paper for best results. For
more information, see Choose the right paper.
Printed pages are dropping off of the output tray
Solution Always extend the output tray extension when you print.
34 HP Photosmart D6100 series

Solution The photo tray may not be properly engaged in the printer. Lift the output
tray up and verify that the photo tray is pushed in until it stops and then lower the output tray. Press Resume.
The printout is rippled or curled
Solution The project you are printing uses a larger amount of ink than normal.
Print the project from a computer, and use the printer software to lower the ink saturation level. See the onscreen HP Photosmart help for more information.

Solution
The paper may not be loaded correctly. Reload the paper, making sure it is correctly oriented in the main tray and that the paper-width and paper-length guides fit close to the edges of the paper. For paper-loading instructions, see
Paper loading tips.
If you are using a two-sided printing accessory, try removing it and printing again.
The printer may need to be aligned. For more information, see Aligning the
printer.
Colors are not printing satisfactorily
Solution
The printer may need to be aligned. For more information, see Aligning the
printer.
The print head may need to be cleaned. For more information, see Care and

the label sheet while going through the printer.
A blank page came out of the printer
Solution
You may have begun printing and then cancelled the print job. If you cancelled the print job before printing started, the printer may have already loaded paper in preparation for printing. The next time you print, the printer ejects the blank page before starting the new printing project.
A print job with a large amount of data may have been sent to the printer. Wait for the printer to service the print head before it continues printing.
The photo did not print using the default print settings
Solution You may have changed the print settings for the photo. Print settings you

You may have selected a low-resolution setting on the digital camera. Reduce the size of the image and try printing again. For better results in the future, set the digital camera to a higher photo resolution.
There may be a problem with the print head. Try the following: – Run the automatic print head cleaning procedure. For more information,
see Care and maintenance. – Align the printer. For more information, see Aligning the printer. – If print quality problems persist after you have tried all of the above
solutions, contact HP Support.
Photos are not printing correctly
Solution
You may have loaded the photo paper incorrectly. Load the photo paper with the side to be printed facing down.
The photo paper may not have fed into the printer correctly. Try the following: – Check for a paper jam. For more information, see Paper errors.
Insert the photo paper as far as it will go into the photo tray. – Load one sheet of photo paper at a time.
The photos I marked for printing in the digital camera do not print
Solution Some digital cameras let you mark photos for printing in both the
camera's internal memory and on the memory card. If you mark photos in the internal memory, and then move photos from the camera's internal memory to the memory card, the marks do not transfer. Mark photos for printing after you transfer them from the digital camera's internal memory to the memory card.
I plugged a camera into the printer, but nothing happens
Solution Try the following:
Make sure the camera is connected to the camera port on the front of the printer. The rear USB port does not support digital cameras.
Make sure the camera is a PictBridge digital camera set to PictBridge mode or is an HP direct-printing camera. The printer only supports these two types of cameras.
Check the camera batteries. Replace if necessary.
Restart the camera.
