How to cancel print job
The following should work for any printer connected to a computer running
Windows.
Note: the illustrations are from my laptop and at this time all printers are offline.
-From the
Start Menu, choose
Devices and Printers. It will open a dialogue box similar to the one below.
-Double click your printer. This will open one of two types of printer dialogue boxes:
Type #1
-Click on the document you want to cancel to highlight it.
-In the
Document menu choose
Cancel.
Type #2
-Click
See What's Printing. This will open a dialogue box similar to the one in Type #1.
-Click on the document you want to cancel to highlight it.
-In the
Document menu choose
Cancel.

NOTE:
Many printers must be online in order to cancel a job.
I hope this helps.
How can I "unpause" my HP 5530 printer?
Hi Elizabeth Canzoneri,
I can help you resume printing. I found the following instructions in the user guide:
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03773204
Depending on your operating system, do one of the following:
? Windows 8: Point to or tap the upper-right corner of the screen to open the Charms bar, click the Settings icon, click or tap Control Panel, and then click or tap View devices and printers.
? Windows 7: From the Windows Start menu, click Devices and Printers.
? Windows Vista: From the Windows Start menu, click Control Panel, and then click Printers.
? Windows XP: From the Windows Start menu, click Control Panel, and then click Printers and Faxes.
Either double-click the icon for your printer or right-click the icon for your printer and select See what's printing to open the print queue.
On the Printer menu, make sure there are no check marks next to Pause Printing or Use Printer Offline.
If you made any changes, try to print again.
I hope this helps.

I can only print 15-or so photos then it runs out of ink. That seems ridiculous, has to last longer than that. Is this normal ? If not, what can I do about it ?
You don't specify what printer you have but a quick google search brought up this review and great tips for an HP printer on Amazon:
Many reviews point for 40 prints and less..yes I confess that I was printing 40 or less if I use premium plus papers but not any more.
I bought 16 cartridge since I bought my HP A618 but the last cartridge printed 140 and still I can print photos (I got the warning of low ink in 100)
what I did is changed the setting in the HP Photosmart Essential 3.0 the software to use it to print your photos. these are the changes:
1- After you click at the Simple Print, make sure you choose the correct size not bigger or Full Page. (for me usually 15x10)
2- choose Printer Settings at the top right then confirm your paper size (if you use paper with tab, select it)
3- click at the Advanced printer Settings. then select your paper type (advanced or premium photo papers). select print quality, Best. I use the (best) printer quality because I didn't notice any difference while using Maximum dpi and I think Maximum dpi only good when you print 5x7 but trust me, don't ever use it. stick to (best). it consumes less ink than maximum and the output is amazing.
4- Click at the (Features Tab) at the top left. then at the bottom there is a very bad technology which is (photo fix), always put it OFF. this feature makes your ink finish earlier. Don't use it ever.
before I use the new settings, I decided to buy Canon PIXMA mini320 but it was out of stock so I bought 2 cartridges to print 70 photos. but the first cartridge still usable.
soon I'll use the second cartridge and I'll try to update my review.
for now, use the settings above and I hope you get more printed photos of a single cartridge.
Update 13-6-2008:
now I have used another 2 inks of this..one has printed 48 photos and the second printed 81 photos and still in use.
I got a tip from hp life chat support. they told me to buy the longest expiry date ink which means the ink expire date will last 1 year or 2. I bought an ink that will expire at aug-2009 which I'm still using it until now and another june-2008 which only printed 48.
Paper for 110 ink:
don't ever use premium or premium plus HP papers. they will not dry as long as you live or even water-proof papers. they will consume more ink too. you have 2 other options. Canon paper plus glossy or high-glossy and HP advanced glossy. both are incredible. I got stunning photos when I used them and longer life ink.
Photo quality settings:
if you edit your photos in the PC, don't forget to set the resolution of the photo at 600dpi or 300dpi. to know more about the resolution search the net for (PPI & DPI). once you understand them you will know that you didn't ever get a perfect photo. now when I compare the best photo before this method and after, I realized that I was a ****** who wasted money on papers like premium and lost quality of 400 photos I printed by not setting the resolution of the photo which is the same as the printer.
If you still interested in buying this ink, follow these steps above specially the expiry date of the ink and using HP advanced or canon plus paper. and before you buy new printer like Canon, try doing my way and buy oe last ink before spending money on new printer.
one last thing. don't print photos from sd card. use a software like adobe lightroom to set the exposure, light, the black level, remove noisea and colors.
Try these tips and see if you can't get extra life from your ink cartridges.
Cheers!

Unable to connect my printer with HP Connected
I run into that with my printer about once a year if it's not recognized by your PC when you use a usb to connect it, I would save your self some time with the poking & trouble shooting & go to Hp & download the latest drivers & software for your printer & OS & just reinstall it! "trust me its best way"
My printer will not make copies.
Open flatbed scanner cover., try for copy, verify scan head moving or not? & the same time check light is glowing or not.. if it is not moving, might be mechanical issue, if light is not glowing scan head faulty, need to replace..
My printer won't connect
What do you mean with won't connect? did you install the software that is needed on the device you want to connect to the printer?
Always first install the software and then try to connect. Even to connect to wireless printers you need software on the device you want to print from.
In case you lost the CD or can't find the software, go here:
HP Support
You also can get first rate support for free from the makers of the printer here.
