6980 always prints an extra sheet before job

I have had two HP6980 printers. the first one failed through a faulty printhead. It always used to print an extra page before printing a check (Versacheck). I replaced it with an identical model and guess what, same thing! A blank page spits out first before the check prints. I have contacted the software vendor (Versacheck) and they insist that their software could not do that. So I tested to an HP LaserJet and no extra page, only on the 6980.
All suggestions are welcome. I have tried firmware, latest drivers, USB, networked connection all to no avail. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi,
in your Form there is only One Page created?
just check if there exists any other page and in the Standard attributes of the page in "Next Page", the other page is set.
Ideally there should not be any page as the Next Page.

Photosmart 5520 Why does the printer always run a blank sheet before it makes a copy?

My Photosmart 5520 always runs a blank sheet before it runs the copy/copies. Is there a setting I can change?

Hello Camille33,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand your Photosmart 5520 runs a blank sheet of paper before you copy a document. I will do my best to assist you! Just to clarify are you printing a document from your computer or copying a document directly from your printer?
If so, then please make sure this printer is plugged into a direct wall, not a surge protector. I want to see if this makes a difference. Next, try resetting the printer for more than 60 seconds. Leave the printer turned on, then disconnect the power cord.
Make sure the firmware is up to date on this printer. I will provide the HP website where you can find this download here.
I will be looking forward to hearing back from you. Have a great night!

Cheque printing form always prints an extra page...

Hello Experts,
I have a custom form the cheque printing program RFFOUS_C. Now, my problem is that it
always prints an extra page even though the MAIN page doesnt have any line items. So instead of
expecting only 1 page it always shows 2 pages. And the worst thing here is that they I cannot customize
the standard program since it is the client's rule.
Any of you have encountered this problem before?

CP1515n Printer prints an extra sheet at end of EACH print Job - each sheet has same message

No idea how to get ri of this last sheet or where or what the heading refers to:
QUOTE: CP1515n Printer prints a sheet at end of EACH print Job - Sheet says: "GET/DEvMgmt/DiscoveryTree.xml HTTP/1.1 Host: 127.0.0.1.8080"
ENDQUOTE
What causes this and how to remove or turn it OFF?

Hi lhartford,
Why are you using ink that has expired?
If you replace the expired ink cartridges do you have the same issue?
This printer was designed to give the customer the best possible photo quality prints. If you are attempting to use cartridges that have reached the expiration dates then HP can't guarantee the printer is going to perform in the matter it is designed to perform.

HP LaserJet 1200: Prints; creates EXTRA sheet with Offending Command: D

After every printing job is completed *an extra page is printed* with the following:
ERROR: undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND: D
STACK:
How can I stop this *unnecessary waste of paper* every time I print something?
Please help!

What does work is the following:
Set your printer to NOT use Appletalk (through your browser).
Delete your printer and install it again. If you don't see it in the list select IP printer and use the printer's IP address
Make sure you use a HP driver and not the Generic driver. I used a Gutenprint driver with success on a LaserJet 1200 with a JetDirect network adapter.

Check print program prints an extra page...

Hello Experts,
I have a dillema here wherein I cannot customize the standard check print program RFFOUS_C. When I check
the spool, it always prints an extra page even though the prior page does not overflow. I also do not
have any explicit NEW-PAGE or related code.
Have you guys encountered this?

Hi,
1. Go to SM37 and check the Job log, is there any other program is triggering.You need to check the FBZP, for is there any other form is configured.
2.In the selection-screen you need to make sample printouts as zero.
Regards,

P3005 error message PCL XL error IllegalMediaSource extra sheet printed after every print job

We have a networked P3005 with a stepped back PCL5e driver working for three Word 2003 people and one Word 2007 person. Out of the blue the Word 2007 person began getting an extra sheet of paper after every print job with the error message PCL XL error Warning: IllegalMediaSource. We had gotten a version of this error before, which is why I stepped back the driver to PCL5e.
Anyone have any thoughts? Please??

I have not had any problems since I read a post from someone to turn the printer off unplug the power cord from it and wait a little bit. Plugged it back in, turned it on and it has been working. I am using Vista 32 bit. I'm not sure this is what you are wanting on the driver. I found this HPC14106 .GPD 3.25.2010
Thanks

PDFs are always printed 2 pages per sheet

My system was reformatted recently and everything had to be reinstalled.
Acrobat Reader XI (11.0.2) and Acrobat Pro 9 (9.0.0*) are now having problems when printing PDFs: every PDF is always printed at 2 pages per sheet. The resulting 4-point type printouts are not useable.
Word prints 1 page per sheet.
I'm not exactly sure where to even start troubleshooting this. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks in advance!
*Yes, 9.0.0. When I accepted the last automatic update, Acrobat Pro started crashing on startup. I uninstalled and reinstalled, and am very, very wary about accepting an update right now.

Well, that was interesting.
After running the Acrobat Cleaner from the above link, on both Acrobat Pro 9.0 and Reader 11.0.2, it looked like everything was gone.
However, the company uses CA's IT Client Manager, and its DSM Software Delivery Catalog thinks that Acrobat Pro is still installed. So does Add/Remove Programs.
Six system reboots and A long call with the help desk later, my case has been escalated to the CA team and we'll see what happens now.
Reader 11.0.2 is reinstalled, and now? It can't print AT ALL. I get this instead of a printout:
ERROR: undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND: Pscript_WinNT_Compat

Lexmark T630 network printer - always prints 2 pages per sheet

I'm trying to setup a Lexmark T630 for printing under Leopard 10.5.2. The printer prints just fine, but it always prints documents as half a sheet, thus, printing 1 a document with 1 page results in a sheet that has the page printed on one half and the other half is blank (as landscape). 2 pages will result in a landscape that has both pages on one sheet, next to each other.
Layout -> Pages per sheet is set to '1' .
I've tried setup with AppSocket,IPP or LPD , using the Lexmark provided driver (both from Apple and from lexmark.com) and a generic postscript driver.
I've tried various paper sizes (the paper is A4) , I've tried printing in landscape and portrait, scaling the pages to 50% or 200% and anything else I could think of.
Event the 'print test page' from http://localhost:631 (the CUPS web service) results in half a page, landscape, with the test page on the left side as a portrait.
Any Ideas..?

Did you try throwing away the com.apple.printing files in your <home>/Library/Preferences folder? It sounds like a preferences file, but you could also try resetting the print system by holding down the control key while clicking in the list of printers in Print and Fax Prefs.
Hope this helps.

HP Deskjet 3512 spews out blank sheet before printing shipping label

Hi,As my title says, the printer pops out a blank sheet before printing my shipping label.This has been going on for about a week. Nothing has changed or is different.If it can't be fixed i want to get a new one so i don't get behind in my work.Just wondering if this happens when an inexpensive printer is on it's last legs. Thanks, Sandi

Not saving the label. When i get an order Right on that page is a box "print shipping label'Another page shows where you put the weight in and you check a couple other sequential thingsand the printer pops out the label. Super duper simple. When the first blank sheet comes out i don't have to touch anything for the label to begin printing...it does it on it's own.. maybe the printer needs a vacation as i do! Sandi

Why does my brand new printer always print the same 1. thing that i printed before

when i try to print something else it always prints the same thing i dont know why i deleted that old files but it still prints the old thing

I would check to make sure the print queue is empty. I would also check the temp files on the computer (and anywhere else that a copy of it could exist depending on what operating system you are using) for that print item.
Also, make sure there is not a virus on the system. Those can do some weird things when certain conditions happen. Not likely just not something to overlook.

PSC 1510 always prints test page on startup; settings menu no help

Hi,
My HP PSC 1510 All-in-one printer always prints a test page when I start it up, wasting ink and paper. I tried two things, neither of which solved the problem:
- Checking the settings, services, and every other menu I could find for any related options. Some other random help forums said there was a "print test page on startup" option somewhere, but I found nothing of that nature.
- Aligning the printer, as instructed by the test page it keeps printing out. Its first alignment failed, but the second alignment seemed to work. However, it still printed a test page the next time I started it up.
Extra information: I'm on Windows XP, and HP Software Update tells me there are no newer updates available. Also, this printer was sitting in the closet for a couple years--I only just recently hooked it up and gave it a new ink cartridge (so I can't say how it behaved before I gave it a new cartridge since it was on the shelf with no ink for a long time).
Thanks!

Identity plate printing issue - not ALWAYS printing

I use Lightroom heavily for printing onsite at events. Specifically, I have a template set up for printing 16 shots per 8.5x11 so that I can cut them up into 4 vertical strips (ie. Photobooth strips). I have an identity plate set up so that each strip will have a logo at the bottom. With hundreds of people coming through, I have a workflow where I simply choose 16 shots (or multiples of 16) in the print module and start the print job. It works well for me 97% of the time.
The issue arises when, for whatever random reason, a sheet will come out of the printer and the identity plate wasn't printed! In other words, I have 4 strips that don't have a logo on them. Its not that I'm not checking the option for printing the identity plate, I never touch the settings. In fact, there are times where I'll send a print job of several pages (ie. some multiple of 16 pictures) and most of the printouts will have the identity plate, but only one page is missing it.
This becomes an issue because in my workflow, the speed of printing is really the bottleneck. I'm constantly processing the new shots taken and sending them off to print. So when I get a printout that doesn't have the identity plate, I have to stop all the processing of the new, incoming pictures and wait until the printer finishes with the last job that was sent (which could be a while) and then put the errant sheet back in and print using the same Lightroom template on 16 white images so that it'll just print the identity plate.
At every event of 3-5 hours, this happens between 1 and 3 times and each time is enough to set me back a few minutes, which causes the people who just took their images to get antsy as their printouts become delayed. I generally like my workflow and I like using Lightroom to print (especially because I apply some presets to each image before printing), but this issue is driving me nuts. I'd just like it to do what's expected 100% of the time!
Has anyone had any experience with something like this? or point me in the right direction? I'm using Lightroom 1.4. Thank you!

Anyone have any experience with this? Is this something that contacting Adobe directly with would help?

HP OfficeJet Pro 8610 Always Prints in Landscape (OSX)

My HP 8610 runs on a Mac OSX and I cannot figure out how to get it to print in a portrait format. It ALWAYS prints in landscape. I've looked through every setting, etc., has to be something easy. I tend to use the Firefox browser when printing.
Thanks!

Force PageFooter Section to Always Print on New Page

Hello All,
I have a Sub Report in the PageFooter Section of my Main Report. How do I force this subreport to always print on a new page?
Thanks and Best regards,
Felix

I think it is not possible to use the option for page footer as new page after or new page before as these options are greyed out. Do you have a seperate data to show in page footer? and do you want to repeat it for all pages? If it is a static data then you can directly place them in page footer. Could you please explain me in brief what exactly the output you are looking for?havendra
Regards,
Raghavendra
