go to printer properties, printing preferences and set the paper size to A4 or the size you are sending

Try loading paper in the bypass on the left hand side of the machine.It may be that you are trying to print a document that is a different size to the paper that you have loaded in the copier.

could be fuser tracking where the pawls ride on the heat roller, could be abrasions on drum, could be main charge corona, could be LSU glass. Can you provide a sample print?

ADF : Place the item into the document feeder tray. The printed side faces up and the top edge goes into the tray first. Adjust the width guides to fit the item. Open HP Solution Center with one of the following methods:

1. Click Start , click All Programs , click the HP folder, and then click HP Solution Center

Double-click the HP Solution Center icon on your desktop. A "Scanning from..." screen displays to prompt for scan settings. If this settings screen does not display before the scan starts, a preference was set to bypass the prompt. To adjust settings, follow these steps to turn the prompt back on:

1. Cancel the scan, return to the home screen of HP Solution Center, and then click the Settings option.
2. Click Scan Settings , and then click the appropriate option from the popup menu: Scan Picture Settings or Scan Document Settings .
3. Select the check box, Prompt for settings at the time of scan , and then click OK .
4. Click Home , and then start the scan again.On the "Scanning from..." screen, click the appropriate option under "Scan Shortcuts" on the left. Each shortcut has a default group of settings that display when you click it.

Click Change Settings , and then read through the drop-down menu choices for all of the settings for the shortcut, adjusting any settings as necessary. Also click the Advanced Picture Settings button and the Save to file Save Options button to view your choices and make any changes. Important : HP Solution Center versions and options vary, depending on your printer. For specific instructions on all the settings the software offers, click the Help button on the home screen or settings screens in HP Solution Center.

Click Scan . The preview screen might display, if you selected the option to show a preview. Use the options on the preview screen to make any desired adjustments before you finish the scan.

After the scan completes, it goes to the destination that you specified in the settings.

Scan Button: HP recommends that you first get comfortable with using the "Scan Picture" and "Scan Document" on-screen "buttons" in HP Solution Center as explained in the previous steps. By doing this, you determine the scan settings that you use most often, and then you can more easily set up the scan button on your printer. Important: Before you use the scan button on your printer, use HP Solution Center to create the settings for that button . For example, you need to decide whether you want a settings prompt screen and a scan preview for each scan. Also, you must create the list of "shortcuts" that you want to display on the front panel of the printer. To get started, click Settings , click Scan Settings , click Button Settings , and then click the tab for Front Panel Scan Buttons . Read through the options, and then create the settings that you want. NOTE: The steps to set up the scan button on your printer can vary depending on your printer model, and the version of software that is installed. For specific instructions, click the Help button on the home screen or settings screens in HP Solution Center.

for KM2550: go to printer properties; Click on device settings tab; under "installable option" choose duplex unit to installed

IF it says downloading program it sounds like it is trying to update the firmware. Did someone stick a compact flash card in the CF card slot. If so removed the CF card and reboot the machine.

By default, the HP all-in-one sends all scans to the HP Photo & Imaging Gallery for you to preview. Suppose that you want to scan your photos directly to email instead. To do this you will need to modify the destination assigned to the front panel scan button. Here is how to do it:

1. If you have not already done so, open the HP Director and click Settings , point to Scan Settings & Preferences , and click Scan to… Setup . The Button Settings dialog box appears, with the Destination List tab on top. The HP all-in-one automatically inventories your computer and lists all the possible scan destinations for you in the Available Scan Destinations list.
2. Using our example of scanning directly to email, select the Email destination in the Front Panel Destination List and click the Move arrow to move it to the top of the listing.
3. Click OK to save the new destination setting and close the dialog box. All of the scans you do using the HP all-in-one front panel buttons will now be sent directly to your email program, instead of to the HP Photo & Imaging Gallery.
4. Click Scan Picture or Scan Document in the HP Director to scan using your new settings, or click a Scan button on the HP all-in-one front panel.
