I have tried and tried to print an old photo that I scanned in.  It is a 1200 dpi around 30 meg file.  It is large because I want the best quality possible. When I try to print, it looks like it is going, according to the print manager, but the printer does nothing.  In fact, I have to unplug the printer for a few minutes to be able to print anything at all, from any device I have.  Is there a file size limitation?

Hi @Joatmon5,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community

 

I'd like to help!

 

I understand you are unable to print an old photo

 

To assist better -

  1. What's the application you are trying to print from? Have you tried printing from a different application or device? 
  2. Are you receiving any error messages?

Meanwhile, to resolve the printer offline issue try the steps in the document -HP printer is offline or not responding

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

I am printing from the Apple preview app. It is the only photo that will not print.  So, my question was, is there a file size limitation on this printer?

HP Recommended

The file size limitation is 1GB.

 

Were you able to open the picture in a different app and then printing?

 

Let me know!

HP Recommended

I tried a different app and I tried on a PC with a different program, as well.  Printer will not print. But since you say the limitation is 1 Gb, then I will try other options. I just needed to know the max file size.  Thanks.
