HP Laser Jet P2055 slow when printing Excel documents or from databases.

I work for a company that is deploying 100s of this model of printer and for some reason Excel documents and print jobs sent from databases print out extremely slowly. It takes 2 to 7 seconds per page depending on what is being printed.
The way we are setup is with a Windows 2008 print server with print queues on it. We use only the HP universal print driver on this particular print server and it is against our standards to install the printers locally. Also all of our printers have been updated to the firmware 20101025
After doing a lot of troubleshooting I found that this appears to happen anytime I use either of the following printer drivers with this printer.
HP Universal Print Driver ver 5.01, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 Both in Windows XP and in Windows 7 and with both PCL 5 and PCL 6.
HP 2055 PCL 6 ver. 61 in Both Windows XP and in Windows 7.
I have also tried connecting the printer locally to see if that helps but I experience the same issues. So far the only work around I have found is to use an older print driver for a down level printer. For example the P2015 and 1320n print drivers appear to work better though there is still a slight delay.
An additional step I tried is leaving the tray open when I send the print job. This appears to force the printer to spool the print job correctly though there is still hesitation it just isn't as pronounced. For example with a 10 page Excel document once I push the tray back in the printer will print 4 pages then pause, print 3 more pages, then pause, then print 2 more pages, pause then print the final page. This has happened with all 5 P2055x printers that I have tested it on.
Please help, we need to get this resolved because this particular printer is the only model we are currently allowed to use. I'm hoping a newer firmware than 20101025 might be on the way?

How do you set up two sided printing on HP Laser Jet P2055

I just purchased a HP Laser Jet P2055 that advertises automoatic 2 sided printing; however, all of my copies are one-sided and I can't figure out where or how to format the printer to print two sided copies. Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
You need to change the printing preferences of the default printer to print on both sides. When you click on the print icon to print, it will display the print dialog box. Within this dialog box, there will be a button that may say Preferences or Properties...just click that button to display the printing preferences. Once you have this printing preferences window, locate the tab which will have the option that says print on both sides...provide a check mark on it, hit ok and then print. that should work.

Low Memory when Printing Excel chart on LaserJet 3015 ll-in-one

Low Memory when Printing Excel chart on LaserJet 3015 ll-in-one
When I try to print a chart from Excel 2007 I get a low memory error. All other printing seems to work just fine. I thought it might be because of a color fill in the chart area so I removed the fill but I'm still getting the error.
I've also cleared the fax memory and run through the steps in http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c00378226&prodT...
Running: Windows WP pro (SP3)
Printer: LaserJet 3015 all in one
Current driver: HP Lasetjet 3015 PCL 6
Running as a network printer using a D-Link DP301P

When an application is installed to the expansion card, that's the only place where you will see it in the app launcher screen, i.e. by selecting the card. It will not appear in the All category because that only shows apps which are installed to internal memory.
As for the Files application, yes, it only lets you browse contents of the card. For a more robust file management utility which will let you browse your entire phone, you might want to look into a freeware application called FileZ, which I believe is available at www.palmgear.com and other places.
I've never run Documents To Go from a card, but when you open Docs to Go and open the Menu > Options > Manage Applications, there is an option there to move applications to the Card. Never having done that, I'm not sure whether it moves the whole DTG app to a card but, give it a try.
I have oodles of applications and documents stored on my Centro's internal memory, and never have run up against a memory problem. At any time, you can check available memory by going to the application launcher (home) screen, opening the menu, and selecting Info.

Hp laser jet m4345 mfp its printing blank page

I got a hp laser jet 4345 mfp its printing blank pages

Hi ballard,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand the printer name is showing the Universal Printing PLC6 driver and not the Laserjet M1536.
I will be happy to help you.
During the install it pulled the Universal driver instead of the Laserjet driver.
Did you download and install the drivers?
Here is the URL for the drivers if you haven't already installed them.
HP LaserJet Pro M1536dnf Multifunction Printer Drivers. Select the operating system and click next.
Click on Driver - Product Installation Software and download the drivers.
Delete the PCL driver and install the download.
We can see if we can update the driver through the device manager if the full software was already installed from the download to get the right driver installed.
How do I get into Windows Device Manager?
Click on View and select show hidden devices.
Look for the printer entry and right click and select update the driver.

How is the printer connected?
Please let me know the results if you are still having issues.

How to have Windows Print prompt pop up when printing SBO documents

Version 8.8 SP00 PL14
I have SBO Print Preferences for Sales Order and AR Invoice set to NOT Print on Add.
I have PLD layouts with defined printers assigned to users.
I want the user to be able to change the defined printer when printing a document.
I don't want the user to have to select a different PLD layout.
When the user prints a document SBO is sending the document straight to the defined printer without popping the Windows Print screen that would allow the defaulting printer to be changed.
Is there any way to make the Windows Print screen pop up?

Hi Tony,
I noticed too that when you now click on 'Print', the windows print window no longer comes up.
Did you set the PLD template default by user and indicate in Print Layout Manager the correct printer for that layout? (i.e. looks like you need a layout for each printer if the printer is different by user unless the printer to be used is the user's default printer.)

How do I get the cells to show up darker when printing my document

When using Numbers, how do I get the cells to show up darker when printing my document?

Are you asking about the cell background, as ivmedic has assumed, or about how to make the grid lines separating the cells darker?
Select the table.
Use the controls shown above this table to change:
Stroke type from "Thin" to the solid line shown.
Stroke thickness to 1 pt
Stroke colour to a darker value (This is set to black, the rightmost cell in the top row of the Color Palette available fir this Color Well.)
the controls are toward the right end of the Format Bar.

When printing a document from a website found in a 4.0 Beta 12 Firefox search I get a print format were the text letters are 1/4th inches apart.

My laser Jet 1320 will only print one copy, even when asked to print mutiples. Any thoughts?

I have a Laser Jet 1320. I have windows Vista (I know!!!) It will only print one document despite being instructed to print 2 or more. I have tried re-installing the drivers but to no avail. Does anyone have any solution possibilities. Thanks

Then use the latest solution!

Hp laser jet 1022 won't print with my new hp envy 8.1 operating system

My new hp envy 8.1 operating system won't print from my hp laser jet 1022 printer. I have downloaded the driver and it seems like it's not acknowledging the USB cord.

When you say " my new hp envy 8.1 operating system " ..... Does that mean possibly that you had windows 8 ,,, and have upgraded to windows 8.1 ? Or does that just mean you have a new computer and it Came with 8.1 ???
What is the Model of your computer?
The reason i asked.. because I searched for your HP Laser Jet 1022 Drivers, and when i found them, i selected "more details" and it states " This full software solution is the same solution as the in-box CD that came with your printer. This is not a software upgrade. If a prior version software is currently installed, it must be uninstalled before installing this version. "
Sooooo.. if you had windows 8, and then upgraded to windows 8.1, then you probably need to 'uninstall' any reference to the original installed software for the laser jet 1022.....
And you could also try to NOT get the Full software / driver option, and get the 'Basic drivers' ( you will notice a link for that under the download of the 'Full' software link....

Problem when printing Excel sheets when downloaded from Portal

Hey,
I am using the desformat=spreadsheet option to generate Excel files for my reports downloaded from Portal and this works fine. The trouble is that when users go to print the downloaded Excel reports it seems that the scale of the report changes and everything is made smaller to try and fit on the one page. The font size decreases, and the scale of the report decreases to the point where the report is nearly unreadable when printed. But when just viewing the reports in Excel everything looks fine.
Any suggestions on why this is happening and how it can be fixed?
Thanks

Hello hermannedem,
If you cannot see any content on pages you printed or in print preview, the cause might be margins which are set too high.
#In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
#Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
#Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
'''Right''': 12.7
'''Top''': 12.7
'''Left''': 12.7
'''Bottom''': 12.7
Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary.
Please let us know, if this resolves the issue.
Thanks!

Whats The Best Resolution To Use When Printing Excellent Quality Photos?

Hi all
My grandparents have given me quite a big task to do as they want me to edit, save on to disc or discs and print there old family photos, I am going to edit the photos from Photoshop CS3 Extended at the highest possible Resolution so the photos look amazing when printed from a normal printer or at a proper photo lab. What is the highest possible resolution I could use on the photos without making them look all pixelated (or what ever it looks like) when printed? I was told by a friend that 300 pixels/inch would yield better but is it possible I could go higher? they are family photos so I would like them to look as amazing as possible for the next generation which will be me, my cousins and our future families.
Many Thanks for reading this and Many Thanks to the people who will reply to it. Very much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Oliver

Hi ID. Awe
Thank you for the resolution pixel/inch number but I will use 300ppi on Photoshop CS3 Extended because it seems popular on here and my friend did say 300 pixels/inch would yield better, okay so I should not go over board blimey as I wont be able to control how it is down-sampled for output, I had better be careful then. My scanners resolution is 4800 dpi optical and up to 19,200 dpi enhanced and the colour is: 48-bit and 8-bit greyscale but when I look in the scanner settings it only goes up to 24 bit colour hmmm? How do I down-sample to 8-bit for output? Do I use Photoshop for that? As my printer will not allow me to down-sample the 8-bit colour. I just want the photos to look amazing thats all.
Hi John Joslin
If you ask you shall receive, I will be getting my photos printed at Kodak or at the Devon Camera Centre. I do have a inkjet printer it is the HP Photosmart 2610 all-in-one= printer, fax, scanner, copier. Thank you for the warning John it is nice to know if I was to use my inkjet printer but I am going to have my photos developed at a photo lab so the photos will last allot longer. My printer resolution is 1200 and up to 4800 dpi optimised.
Hi Donald Reese
The highest resolution my scanner can go up to is 19,200 dpi, could you explain to me what interpolation is please? is it another selection I can select within the scanner settings? That does sound logical to have extra data to downsize from, instead of trying to upsize from a low resolution scan because I suppose it would make the photo look a bit pixelated.
Hi Gernot Hoffmann
That is interesting that by using 300ppi or 288ppi which is good for an accurate pixel preview by zoom=400% and this is OK for the reproduction of photos by high quality offset printing and for large format inkjets and for inkjet proof printing thank you. Thank you for the simplified version:-D
Hi Ed Grenzig
I did think that scanning is more important but I did not know how high I should go with the resolution on that either, thats true that the scans can be no better than the picture that I am scanning. Yeah I suppose it also is trial and error using different settings. Extra pixels won't make your picture any sharper than the print. That is what they said about the freeview box until they found out that it made the picture clear as it had a higher resolution then the tv itself but I will give it ago.
Yeah good idea I will experiment myself on similar photos to see if increasing the resolution helps and how much it helps, depending on the type of photo. Yes I definitely will keep my original scans because as you said I can always go back and re-edit them in the future. I agree all editing software will get better as time goes on and they will probably laugh at my edits when they look at the capability of their future software. True that my present printed photos will not last forever as they will deteriorate. As johntolliday below said he usually scans his photos at 600 ppi and I will probably do the same or higher if needs be. Thanks for the great tips, I did think could I use my camera to take photos of the original photos if they are to big for my scanner and of course I can like you said, I would not shot the photos though as I do not want holes in the photo lol.
Hi johntolliday
Yeah I will be getting the photos professionally printed at a photo lab as you said Unless you are using they will not last as long as a print printed on photo paper by the very expensive photo lab machines and I do not have archive quality inks or paper and anyway they are to expensive. Cool that you do most of your prints and enlargements online and have been very pleased with the results. I also thought that inkjet printers are not really up to the job when it comes down to printing excellent quality photos.
I will try your suggestion and scan my photos at 600 ppi or more depending on the picture quality, I do not seem to have a selection for 16 bit colour on my scanner settings I only have Millions of colours (24-bit), 256 colours
(8-bit), 256 colour web palette, 256 colour system palette, 256 grey shades (8-bit greyscale) and Black & White
(1-bit) so I guess I will have to stick with 24 bit colour. Sounds like a good idea to down sample to 300 on Photoshop and print from there. I have never enlarged photos before but there might be a time when I might need to.
A huge thank you to everyone who has posted on here you all have helped me out allot and I know where I am going now before I have to say I was going around blindfolded, if you have any more tips about scanning or even printing please feel free to post. Thank You again.
Kind Regards, Oliver
