C3180 Printing on narrow paper

I was just about to post that I couldn't get the printer to print address labels correctly on a 4.25 x 11" sheet. But now I got it to work by entering a custom paper size in the "Resizing options" in the printer setup.
But this is a pain. So every time I want to print on a different paper size I have to set the exact paper size in the printer setup, in addition to setting up the page in Microsoft Word (or whatever program)? I suppose this would be true for envelopes too. With my previous (HP) printer it was automatic: if the paper size I loaded in the printer matched my document, I was all set -- the printer would just detect the paper size and work.
I had to set the paper size in the "Resizing options" when in reality I'm not resizing anything. Am I missing something here? Is this really what I should have to do? It would seem the resizing options should be for when you really want to print to a size that is different than the actual document. But without using the resizing option I got an error from the printer saying the paper size is incorrect and the "check paper" light would blink. After pressing the cancel button on the printer the document would proceed to print, but with only the left side of the document printing on the right side of the page. If instead I loaded 8.5 x 11" paper it would print my narrow document right down the middle of the page instead of being aligned on the left.
Note that in the resizing options the "Print at actual size" radio button is selected -- not the scaling option. There is no "Automatic" option for the resizing options. Also I installed the latest driver.

This is how I have already created them.
In the printer driver settings set:
colour settings option: print in Greyscale not in colour mode
Greyscale option is not available, but I can just print in black, which does not cover enough.
paper or media settings option choose: Transparency
There is no option for Transparency paper

Hi there bigpul,
Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? What operating system are you using and are you recieving any errors or just blank prints?

I am trying to print on filofax paper but wont print on HP deskjet 3070A

The guides only allow paper to be placed in the middle of paper selection, and only half of the printing comes out, half of the page is blank. Its also very difficult to retrieve the shorter paper because the aperture where the paper is inserted is very narrow. The pages for the filofax have to be turned over and printed on both sides.

Hi Nontech,
I am not sure I understand exactly what you are doing; I will try and help. I am a user, not an HP tech.
The manual suggests that you can adjust the side guides in the printer to accomodate paper sizes. That said, there is nothing to be done about the tiny opening - the paper is supposed to be ejected when the print is completed.
The thickness of the paper used is very important. I have discovered this the hard way myself. Your printer won't have a selection for filofax paper; it should have a selection for something that perhaps you can pick that is as close to the same thickness as is possible.
Deskjet 3070A B611 User Guide
See the section in the manual on "Recommended Papers for Printing" for a general description.
Using your printing Preferences for your printer, select the paper according to what is closest to the thickness of your "filofax" paper. (EXAMPLE: Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers > highlight your printer > right-click > Preferences > Paper > Media)
If you can more closely match the actual thickness of the paper being printed, you might get a print of the whole sheet without it stopping half-way through the process: The completed print might then feed all the way out of the printer as it should.
Good Luck!
Kind Regards,
Dragon-Fur

When printing an e-mail, it prints in narrow column - not full page width!

check the default paper size for your printer on the printers folder in Windows.

Cp1525nw to print on A4 paper

How can I get my HP CP1525nw to print on A4 (about 4" by 7") paper? It prints with a top margin of about 3 inches, which is too far down the small sheets of paper.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Sorry, my error. The A4 paper size specification was incorrect. In actual fact, the paper size is non-standard at 3-3/4" x 6-7/8" for my wife's obsolete Lefax binders, but she still uses them for her recipes. I solved the problem by doing this. I invoked MSPublisher, selected a blank page size, created a New Page Size of 3.9 x 6.8", double clicked to open it, inserted two more pages, used Format > Layout Guides to create guide lines with proper margin indents on all four sides (leaving an extra wide margin at the bottom, a very narrow margin at the top, and space for punching loose-leaf holes on the left side), inserted a page number spot at the bottom of the page, inserted a Text Box on all three pages that matched the guide lines, used View > two-page spread in order to get facing pages, linked the 3 text boxes, copied the desired text and pasted it into the first Publisher page. It overflowed, so I allowed Pub to create additional pages. I selected the entire text and chose the desired (monospaced) font and point size, and loaded my special size paper into the printer. I had to select Printing Options and paper size, and the size (among the limited options) that seemed to fit best was called Envelope Monarch. Then I was able to print the document. It wasn't simple to figure all this out and took quite a bit of experimentation, but "Nothing beats success!" I have since written all of this down so that I can refer to it when I need to do it all again. 22-OCT-2014

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.0 will not print SRA3 size paper

I created an Adobe InDesign file 320x450mm (SRA3) and saved it as a a High Quality PDF. However, when I print from Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 with SRA3 paper size settings, it defaults to A4 and the printer will not register the SRA3 paper size request. The tech from Canon updated the printer driver which increased print dialog options such as Paper Handling, Paper Source etc. (which I didn't have before) and spent over an hour running tests. We both agreed there was a software issue since there were not issues from other software:
I can print SRA3 files from InDesign and Microsoft Word, but not Adobe Acrobat Pro.
This is an ongoing problem since I often receive artwork in PDF format at this size.
My workaround is to place the PDF into InDesign, line up the crops by eye and print to SRA3 paper which works fine until I need to do a double sided print which becomes slightly innacurate and often time consuming.
Canon printer driver specs:
V2.0
iR-ADV C5045/5051 PS (UK)

What happens if you select other paper sizes? Also ensure that 'choose paper source by PDF page size' is not checked at your print dialog.
Kindly let us know your results and if possible please forward us your pdf at [email protected]
Looking forward to help you out.
Thanks

How to print on photo paper with HP Photosmart 7520 on iphoto '11

Dear All,
I have a very serious problem. I've tried so many settings and configurations without success.
Very simple. I cannot choose the photo tray in any way and I cannot print on photo paper.
I get everything on A4 format.
The printer is working fine wih other software (e.g. HP studio).
I can't believe I'm the only one.
Please help!
tks ;-)

Hi,
I came across such issues using AirPrint from Mac OS.. probably an Airprint bug.
Go to Print & Scan and click the plus sign.
From the extended add a printer dialog select the Photosmart 7520.
Open the Use drop-down and select the HP Photosmart 7520 from teh list (Instead the default AirPrint option)
Additionally from the iPhoto print dialog click Print, the OS print dialog will appear.
Set the Paper Source as Photo Tray under the Paper Type/Quality menu.

Using windows 7, how do I get my Officejet Pro K8600 to print to 13x19 paper?

I purchased a laptop with Windows 7. Now I cannot get my Officejet Pro K8600 to print correctly to 13x19 paper. It prints onto 13x19 paper but everything is 8.5 x 11 in size. I click print, click properties, change the paper to Super B 13x19, hit ok, the box shows the 13x19 paper with the images filling the paper, I click ok for it to print and it prints the image 8.5 x 11 in size on the 13x19 paper instead of filling the 13x19 paper. I did not have this trouble (and still don't) with my old laptop with XP. Is it the operating system or is it a wrong setting in properties? I have tried to compare the properties settings in both computers, but I cannot find any differences. I don't think it's the driver....please help!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello HW,
Try this: go to Devices and Printers and right-click on the Officejet Pro K8600 and click on Printer Properties. Go to the tab called Advanced and click on the button called Print Processor. Select Winprint and click OK. Try another printout and see if it works now. If you still see the same issue see if there's a scaling option on the print dialogue in the application you're printing from.

Problem printing on dot-matrix printer with continuous paper

Post Author: kdebruyckere
CA Forum: .NET
Hi,
We're currently developping an .net application for a customer of ours in VS2005 (c#). I used crystal reports for VS2005 to create an invoice.
The invoices have to be printed on a dot-matrix printer with continuous paper (Brother M-4318). When an invoice is only one page long, there's no problem. Even when printing several sigle-page invoices after another, all goes fine. The problem occurs when an invoice is more then one page longe. The first page comes out correctly, but on the following pages everything moves ca. 3 mm upwards (3 mm on the second page, 6 mm on the third page, and so on...). On the report 'Design > Printer Setup', I selected the right printer, the right paper size, ... On the report there's a page header (consisting of two sections), and there's a page footer that is only printed on the last page, but there are no report header and no report footer.
I can not figure out what seems to be the problem. Has anyone else had this or a similar problem before? If so, please let me know. Any suggestions are welcome.
thx

Continuous paper is a little bit longer than normal A4 paper. I found only one way to set it: ReportDocument.PrintOptions.PaperSize =CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.PaperFanfoldStdGermanI had no success, setting continuous papersize by printer setup. ... waiting for CustomPaperSize-Property (like CustomPaperSource)...

The printer wont print on photo paper why is that

The printer keeps printing on paper instead of photo paper

How are you sending the print job, and what file type are you trying to print? I know airprint and eprint base the paper type on what file type is printing. If its from a computer you will have to specify in the print settings what paper to use.

WONT PRINT ON GLOSSY PAPER

I HAVE A HP PHOTOSMART D700 SERIES PRINTER. FOR SOME REASON IT WILL NOT PRINT ON GLOSSY PAPER. IT TELLS ME PAPER MISMATCH, PAPER WRONG SIZE OR INCORRECT PAPER SELECTION. I HAVE TRIED EVERY TYPE OF PAPER THAT IS AVAILABLE ON THE MACHINE. IT WILL PRINT ON FLAT PAPER WITHOUT A PROBLEM

Hard Reset – While printer is powered ON, pull
the power cord from the printer then from the
wall. After 30 seconds reconnect power to
wall and printer. This will trigger a ‘dirty power
up’ and restore the printer to a known good
condition (if it is possible). No user settings
are lost with a ‘hard reset’.
This ‘Hard Reset’ is one of the most powerful
tools to use when the printer hardware is not
functioning properly!

Hp photosmart plus b210 wont print on dark paper

If I use dark paper the printer will just spit it out and print on the next white page. Is there a setting to allow printing on dark paper?

I am glad I could help. I hope you do not have too many of these to print - while the strips are reusable it could get a bit tiring if there are many to print .
