HP Photosmart D5160 InkJet Printer Logo
Posted on Dec 14, 2008

Please help me. I haven't printed on a CD with my HP Photosmart D5160 in a while and I either can't remember how to do it, or it doesn't like the new laptop.

I spent a week figuring this answer out. First Do not use the supplied software from HP for this, unless simple text is okay for you. I personally found the software to try to do everything, but nothing well. If you have even a modest image application: Gimp, Photoshop, etc, create a new image at 4.5 inches x 4.5 inches. Set the ppi to 150 at least, 300 for High Quality and create you 'label' there, then go to print.
1. in print dialog box choose 'Preferences'
2. then choose 'printing shortcuts'
3. then choose 'print on CD/DVD' (DVD icon)
(confirm in papersize on right that you are printing on a cd/dvd)

4Then pull down your CD/DVD tray flap on the HP printer and load up a CD to print on. Align it to the arrows, then press print.

As long as the image is 4.5" x 4.5" it will fill the DVD perfectly --especially if you download a 'Mask' template from any printer --which you could google to find one, but it is just to give you an Idea of your 'safe print' zones, and will really come in handy for high quality labels-- don't for get to turn off that 'mask' just before saving--if it's black, or better yet, make it white, then when you save the final image it will create a beautiful white circular edge on the image so that you can better preview and so that you won't waste ink!

keep the printer ON.then open the flap on the front side.there is a small gap made in the flap to get it opened.as u open the flap the cartridges will automatically move and come in the position where u can remove the cartridges.just pull the cartridge to the dwn side near to you and it will come out.in the same way insert the new cartridge.

Hp D5160 prints testpage after each print

Salve La stampante Photosmart HP D5160 dopo l'accensione inizia a produrre rumori come ingranaggi che si graffiano ripetutamente nell'area vicino al cassetto di sostituzione delle cartucce, alla fine dopo alcuni istanti la stampante smette di fare rumore ed ? pronta per la stampa, ma ultimamente, dopo sopra, sistematicamente non viene pi? stampato e il punto esclamativo rosso lampeggiante rimane. Le cartucce sono originali e hanno una capacit? superiore ai 3/4. Spero in tuo aiuto il prima possibile. Grazie. Roberta

Good luck.
