8600 Won't Print to Custom Size Envelopes

I used to have an HP Office Jet 7410 and was able to print all the addresses for my holiday cards on custom envelope sizes - nothing too out of the ordinary, but not #10.  I have now upgraded (or at least I thought I was upgrading) to the 8600 Premium printer and spent hours trying to print to custom envelope sizes.  Even after over an hour with tech support trying to help they finally told me the envelope size was not supported by this printer.  She did try to trick it into using a different printer driver but that did not work either.  I find it hard to believe that a high end all in one printer like this cannot do what the much older version did.  Is there a workaround?

I have tried to install the deck jet 9800 as you suggested.  I am using an ethernet to connect and run as I otherwise use it wireless.  It is not sending to the printer.  I have 125 wedding invitation envelopes to print and am ready to pull out my hair.  Please help

Additionally, yes you will lose some functionality through those driver (such as scanning), however there is an easy solution to that problem. Just install both drivers on the computer and only use the alternate 990c (or Deskjet 9800) driver only when you want customized envelopes. 
For the second question, I cannot speak for the company or their decisions in the future, I do know that the feature was removed to cut down on hardware problems and because of that our printers have become more reliable. 
I hope you have a great day!

  • Printing custom size envelopes under Yosemite

    Upgraded to Yosemite on MacPro.  HP8600 no longer prints custom size envelopes.  Seems like printer keeps expecting 11 inch long paper size even though the envelope is specified as 5.750 height.  Never had a problem before OS upgrade.  Need to print envelopes for Christmas cards.

    Hey @25172 ,
    Thank you for taking the time to post on the HP Forums today! Hope you enjoy the experience.
    I understand you are having issues when trying to print an envelope but the printer is trying to print on an 11' piece of paper. You used to be able to change the settings and it would work, now it simply isn't following your instruction.
    Have you done all the apple updates?
    Did you uninstall and reinstall the software for the printer since the update in OS?
    Are you experiencing any other issues when it comes to setting related tools with the printer software on 10.10?
    Look forward to hearing back from you! Have a great day.

  • Printing a custom size?

    How can I print a 3 1/2" x 4" photo? The picture is cropped to that size in iPhoto, but when I print it, it comes out much larger.

    Sara:
    You're going to have to use a 3rd party application for that. iPhoto is geared just for the standard printing sizes. Go to VersionTracker.com and do a search for image editor or print photo. You'll get a number of candidates. Some use Portrait and Prints for customs sizes. I use Photoshop Elements which is also capable of some advanced editing.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Custom Size Envelope Printing In Address Book

    First off, I'm using an Epson SC 880.
    I want to print on 5x7 envelopes. I am able to define the custom size of 5x7, but when I attempt to print, it spits the envelope out unprinted.
    I'm wondering if this is a printer driver problem or a bug in Address Book or if something I'm specifying in the custom size is wrong.
    Any comments appreciated.

    It appears that there is a major bug in this new version of Address Book. First I found that when you go in the "Print" panel, go to "Envelopes", go to "Layout", and then go in Layout to "Layout" submenu and use "Define Custom" which comes up "Layout Name" and when type in any name and click "OK" it UN-SELECTS the "Layout Panel" and you cannot change any of the parameters, BUT I discovered that if after you type in a "Layout Name", click "OK": and then click "Cancel" and then again open "Print". It opens to the same place as before (with everything the same) BUT with the Layout Panel SELECTED and you can now change all the parameters. I don't know about the printer printing blank sheets, because my printer seems to work fine. But I have a HP and you have an Epson. Hopefully those geniuses at Apple will get around to fixing this problem sometime in 2006 or 2007, who knows!!!!!

  • How to print custom size envelope

    I'm having trouble printing 3 5/8x 6 1/2" envelopes.  The templates in Pages are for business size envelopes.  I made a custom template, but I get an error message
    <The specified custom paper size is not supported in the selected tray.> 
    I only have one tray...?  Is this a printer issue?  It's a HP Deskjet.
    Thanks!

    Check you printers instruction on which sizes it can take. Pages doesn't have any specific document or envelope sizes. It uses the one your printer is providing, you have installed on the computer.

  • My Pixma Pro 9000 won't print on an A1 envelope 3 3/8 x 5 1/8

    Has anyone had trouble printing on a smaller size sheet. Mine will not print on an  A1 envelope 3 3/8 x 5 1/8. I plan on calling customer service to see if I can get anywhere, but figured I would try here too. I am running Mac OS X Version 10.8.5 and using Illustrator 6.
    Thanks a million,

  • How do I print a custom size from Photoshop CS3?

    I am using Photoshop CS3 with System 10.6 Snow Leopard, and I am printing on an Epson Stylus Photo R2000. The custom paper size is 8.5 x 14 inches. When I print the page the design appears to have expanded beyond the paper size. I need to make a borderless print, so I can't just shrink the image. What do I need to do?

    There should be a Custom Size setting for your Printer in the Photoshop Print dialog: Page Setup > Paper Size > Manage Custom Sizes.

  • Printing on Custom size paper

    I just purchased a HP Photosmart 7515 and I am trying to print on a paper 5 x 6.5 inches. I am doing this document in Word and I have the page set up in word correctly, but when I go to print the printer acts as if I have paper that is letter size (8.5 x 11in). When I go into the printer's properties and try to choose the paper size I get a drop down menu of several sizes, but not an option to do a custom size. Is it even possible to print on a custom sized paper or do I need to return the printer? If you know how to do it please let me know. Thank you.

    Hi,
    I afraid the printer does not support using a custom paper sizes.
    An alternative driver as the C310 is likely to fail as a such is not supported by the firmware.
    You may find the printer specification below, as you may see any custom media size paper is not listed as supported within the Paper-handling specifications, I afraid a such is not supported for your printer:

  • Borderless printing in custom sizes

    I'm working on an HP 2575 with Windows 7
    I need to print borderless at custom sizes - the main one being 125x250mm.
    I understand that this isn't a pre-programmed option but somehow in the past I have managed to create a template in print properties that does exactly what I want! Now I have a new size that I need  (144x288mm) and I have tried to configure the settings many different ways but it's always printing with a 3mm blank border.
    I have rang Hp who can't help unless I pay for tech support and then they don't guarantee a solution so I thought I'd see if anyone else had a similar problem or workaround for me?
    Many thanks.

    This question is Not Answered....
    "ummm".... Simply trying to help.
    I used A4 as an example because that's what I was doing at the time, on my A4 printer - not my HPDesignjet 130nr, which is 600mm wide, on a roll!

    HI Ohhh Kaye,
    This may not help you since I'm not using a macOS.  I'm running windows 7 with PS 2014.2.2.  However the problem seems similar.  I found this workaround on photoshop.com where people using windows and OSx versions were reporting the issue for well over a year.
    It appears one trigger for this problem is when reusing older photoshop files.  These older Photoshop files have older print settings saved within them.  If your printer driver is newer/changed since the file was made and/or your Photoshop version is newer than when it was created it appears to cause a crash when trying to enter printer driver settings to change them.
    The workaround that worked for me:  Open the old photoshop file.  Jot down the dimensions.  Create a new file w/same dimensions.  Arrange your workspace to "2-up vertical" or something that allows you to see both files at once.  Select all layers on the old file and drag to the new file.  Close the old file.  Align all your layers and content to the new file (keep all layers selected).  Then save the new file.  Now choose print, and then choose print settings.   It should not crash this time. And it will be fine the next time you open it.  That is if this workaround will work for both operating systems and errors anyway. (might not)   Worth a try if you are really trying to print something directly from photoshop.  Otherwise export a pdf and print that.
    Hope it works for you OSX people too.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 won't print PDF's

    Just bought a new OJP 8600 (3rd HP printer in a year, starting to get VERY frustrated). I've searched through all of the forums, all over the internet and cannot find a solution.  I'm on a Mac OSX 10.9.3. I can't print any PDF files either through Acrobat 10.1.10 or Preview.  Please advise.  Thank you.

    Hi thelmacotton, and welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see you are having issues printing PDF's.  I would like to try and help.
    I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
    I would also suggest running your Apple updates:  OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
    After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the HP Officejet Pro 8600 series Full Feature Software and Driver- OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

  • Officejet 8600 won't print since Yosemite upgrade

    I have a problem installing the HP driver since I updated Yosemite. I get these messages.
    So I can't install properly. 
    I have delted the printer in the system preferences, repaired disk permissions, and reinstalled 3.0 driver. The messages above are what I receive during installation.
    What I am experiencing regarding printing is my second print job won't print until I put the computer to sleep and then open it up again. The weird thing is is it will print my first job even after it has printed it once. 
    Here is the print list.
    This is what I see... Opening printer connection shows at the top all the time. The job that is listed will print and then say 100% complete when it is finished printing. Then when I send another job this is what the list looks like:
    The second job listed won't print until I put the computer to sleep and then it will print.

    Hi,
    From the Applications folder open the Hewlett-Packard folder and follow the Uninstall option to remove the software.
    Next click the Go menu (you may have to click of Finder for the go menu to appear), then click on Computer and open the active volume of your OS, that will more likely be listed as Macintosh-HD.
    Open the System folder, then open the Library folder
    (If the library folder is hidden and not listed, click on Go > Go to folder, type Library and click on OK.
    Open the Extentions folder and locate both of the MaxtorPowSecDriver.kext and the IOFireWireMxBt.kext files, copy those files to your desktop and then delete it from the Extensions folder (for backup porpuses be sure not to delete those till you are fully up and running with no issues).
    Next repair the disk permissions as following:
    1. Open the the Applications folder.
    2. Go to the Utilities folder.
    3. Double-click on Disk Utility.
    4. Select the hard drive containing the boot volume.
    5. Go to the First Aid tab and select Repair Disk Permissions.
    Note: This process may take several minutes depending on the Mac and amount of permissions that need to be repaired. The Progress Log will indicate when the process has been completed.
    Once you are done, download and install the following software:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=oj-125213-3&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
    Finally, reboot your Mac and ensure that everything is up and running.. once you have verified it delete the files copied to your desktop.
    Please let me know of any difference,

I am not able to print them the size i want them to and i really want to know why! They are only printing in the middle of the page. if you could help it would be much appreciated

  • Z3200 won't print to custom page size

    Hello,
    I've created a banner that is 23"w x 82"h (in CorelDraw Suite 4).  The page setup of the Corel file is 23" w x 82"h.  I've been trying to print it on the z3200 designjet, but have had no luck.  I created several custom page sizes (23" x 82", 24" x 85", 24" x 82") using both the "Printer Properties" dialogue within CorelDraw as well as adding a "Form" in the "Print Server Properties", none of them work.  I've set the correct paper (24" wide HP Bright White Bond, feeding from the roller) on  the actual printer itself, and in the Printer Properties.
    I've played around with all of the different settings that I can and sometimes see the following error message:
    [1/1]Paper size selected (width:23.00 inches, height: 82.00 inches) is larger than loaded paper (width: 24 inches).  Please verify your printer setup.
    When the page prints, it is resizing the content to be 8.5" wide.
    I don't know what I'm missing.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you in advance,

  • Scale Word to print to custome size

    I am making a application that will open a word document that is usually 8.5x11 and change the paper size to 12.80 x 10.24 print it to a jpeg so that is 1280 x1024 using active x controls. The problem is in that the printer is not scalling the document. How would I be able to tell word to scale to fit the page size of 12.80 x 10.24?
    I have also added a custom paper size for the printer driver under the name Paperless. How would I be able to select that as a page size instead of custom page size?

    I believe you would have to play with the "PrintZoomPaperWidth" and "PrintZoomPaperHeight" options in your Document invoke node. This Microsoft page seems to confirm that:
