C6180 Printer Tray Repair

Hi
A heavy book fell from my shelf onto the printer tray. The plastic holding onto this part snapped. (See image)
Because the bit that snapped had a strain on it, superglue did not last very long. Insulation tape worked but caused the printer to jam more as paper sometimes rubbed against it. I am using blutack to hold it in place but it isn't the best solution. Is it possible to get and install a new print tray for relatively cheap?
This question was solved.

Well I managed to fix this myself, made a better printing tray actually.
I used 2 of these (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Business-Metal-Paper-Binder-Fasteners/dp/B0051SMA54)
I also used 2 of these (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Slide-Spine-Binders-Binding/dp/B0034TNPAQ/ref=pd_cp_office_3)
i.e. with the broken part and bluetack removed. One binding bar is placed at the edge of the printing tray. (The part of the binder where you normally put the paper in has the end of the printer tray, shoved along until the printer tray is more or less central). Next the steel faster (bottom part) is folded at one side and one shoved into each side of the binding bar. The other side is situated so it is unfolded, facing outwards. This part is now folded and shoved close to the outside edge of the first binding bar. The second binding bar (the part you would normally bind the paper with) is praced on top of the exposed clips, i.e. is binding the other ends of the clips. The second binding bar is situated at 90º to the first binding bar and together fixes the printer tray. It works much better than the original.

  • HP Photosmart C6180 printer. Says the magenta ink cartridge is empty when it is new.

    I own a HP Photosmart C6180 printer.  It sat for several months so I replaced all of the ink cartridges.  It will not print because it says the magenta ink cartridge is empty.  It is brand new and i can see the ink inside of it.  I am not sure what to do.  I don't want to take it to get serviced as I live several hours from any computer or printer repair shop.  Please help!

    Hi pbeck39
    What are the ink levels like on a self test page - are they good? Are you using Win XP x64 by any chance?
    Thanks

  • Default print tray keeps reverting to Tray 1, asking for glossy paper on HP P3015

    We have a new HP P3015 at work, and a few days ago it started defaulting to Tray 1, and asking for Glossy paper.  I have followed all onscreen instructions for changing print tray multiple times, and tried hard booting the printer a couple of times.  There is no paper in Tray 1, and it is shut.  For each print job, I must walk over to the printer and press OK to change print trays, and OK again to print.  How can I clear these settings so that the printer will revert to printing from Trays 2 and 3 without having to walk over and change it for every job?
    It also started printing much more slowly that when we first set it up a couple of months ago.

    switch off the printer, take the paper out of the tray, reassemble the paper properly, then put the paper back and switch on the printer, it should work
    or just change the paper specificationo in A4 legal paper it should work then

It had printed perfectly up until now, but it has given the same error message for the last several different job attempts, and I'm stumped.
    I look into the printer from the paper tray and above, and see no obstruction. Any ideas?

    I have a customer that wants the same report to print to different printer trays depending on parameters sent it.  We have no problem recognizing which tray it should go to, but cannot get it to print to the tray that is specified.  It just prints to the same defualt tray every time.  They are running BOXI on a Windows OS.  Any direction would be great.

    Can you post some code? How are you getting you PCL to the printer?
    Take a look at the javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaTray print request attribute and see if that will help.
    Also take a look at my comments here: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5227412

  • Print crystal report to a specific printer tray

    Greetings -
    I need to print out a report to a specific printer tray, can you please let me know how I set it up?
    Thanks,
    Lava

    Hi Lava,
    According to what I can understand you would like to print the Crystal Report to a specific printer.
    In order to print the crystal report to a particular tray of a printer you need to set the printer from the Crystal Reports application.
    This can be done from u201CFileu201Dmenu->Print. Select the printer if it is already added else you can add anew printer.
    I hope this helps you.
    Regards,
    Prashant.

  • All-in-one c6180 Printer ... replacement parts?

    Hi!
    I have a HP Photosmart All-in-one c6180 printer and it has worked fabulously for me for the past several years! But a few months ago the power adapter cord was caught in the vacuum as I was sweeping and it ripped out the back of the printer breaking the prong things and becoming no good. Does anyone know if HP offers a replacement adapter for this printer and if so, how much might one be? I've looked around on the site and never found what I was looking for, and I've looked around online as well with no better luck. Thanks!

    HP's partsurfer site lists the part you need as the 0957-2105. You can order this from HP parts store for $30.69 as shown here.  I have had good success buying such items on eBay such as the list here.  Be aware that the suppliers that will turn up in a Google search may want more for the power adapter than the entire printer cost new.

  • Is there a way to change the default print tray on an HP LaserJet 500 color M551 Printer

    Hi
    Is there a way to setup the default print tray for a HP LaserJet 500 color M551 printer to be tray 2 printing both online and direct?
    If so what would be the best way to go about implementing it?
    Thanks
    This question was solved.

    Usually, you can change the default paper trays through the control panel and through the Embedded Web server (EWS).
    Check the settings on your control panel. Here is a link to the User Guide, check out page 94 and see if that helps you out.
    m551 User Guide
    For the EWS, put the printer IP address into your browser, then go to the tab that would list tray settings. Not sure exactly which tab has it for this printer series, but on other printer series it is on the system tab under paper setup.

  • Photosmart C6180 prints too many copies of PDFs and HTML-documents

    Hi,
    My Photosmart C6180 prints multiple copies of documents even if I haven't asked for it. This seems to only apply to PDFs and HTML-documents, I haven't seen it happen with Word/Excel. It's not consistent, it happens most of the time but now always for these documents. When I look at the console, when it has started printing I see shortly the status "Printing - Restarting". That's probably when it starts the 2nd copy. Sometimes it stops by itself, other times it seems to be looping and I have to turn the printer off and delete the document from the queue.
    HP solution center SW is updated, I run Vista with latest service packs on a Thinkpad T400s.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    My C6180 printed multiple copies of any document from my Vista OS laptop ( wireless connection ), but not from my
    XP OS desktop ( USB connection), even though I selected 1 copy on the print menu. Unchecking "Enable bidirectional support" in the Properties / Ports dialog box solved the problem. Hope this helps someone too.

  • C6180 printer offline even though it's connected to the network.

    My c6180 printer won't connect with my computer. I went through the network settings on the printer itself and the settings on the printer itself show that it's connected to my router.  But when I try to send a document to the printer, my computer shows that the printer is offline. How do I get it back online?

    I would take a look at the document below it should help resolve your issue.

  • Dynamically switch printer tray from concurrent program in Oracle Apps 11i

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement to dynamically switch printer tray from concurrent program .
    In the application we had a printer "*Printer1*" defined ,the printer (physical) printer have two trays and it always pick paper from Lower tray
    To test the functionality I created one more defination " *Printer2*" in the application .
    For this second printer created one more PPd files Printer2PPD2 . In this Printer2PPD2 the value of DefaultInputSlot i gave as Upper,so that printer will pick paper from upper tray
    As we are having the PASTA configuration hence in the "uiprint.txt" entered the definations for Printer2 and also mentioned the PPD file.
    So in the concurrent program i selected Printer2 and executed the program.But instead of picking from upper tray it picked from lower tray.
    I could know this because in upper tray I had counted the number of papers so if the paper would have been picked ,the count would have reduced by 1.
    Please let me know the solution for this issue.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Regarding Printer Tray Selection while running BI Publisher Report.

    Hi All,
    Below is my requirement.
    When ever user tries to run the report, based on the customer code the printer tray has to be passed to printer so that the report gets printed by selecting the paper from the same tray. Each printer tray will have different paper color.
    Let me know how can I achieve this? Its very urgent..
    Thanks

    hi,
    Just now i identified that its not deleting the report but its reverting back the report to its previous version. Let me explain it you in details:
    suppose i created a report with following query source as Oracle Database:
    select territory_code from fnd_territories_tl
    where LANGUAGE = USERENV ('Lang')
    now if i modify the query in the same report to following query:
    <dataTemplate name="dunningLetter" description="Dunning Letter Report" dataSourceRef="IPOVIS" defaultPackage="xx_shpckt_init" Version="1.0">
    <parameters>
    <parameter name="p_order_number" dataType="character"/>
    </parameters>
    <dataQuery>
    <sqlStatement name="Q1">
    <![CDATA[select order_number from oe_order_headers where order_number = :p_order_number
      ]]>
    </sqlStatement>
    </dataQuery>
    <dataTrigger name="beforeReport" source="xx_shpckt_init.beforeReportTrigger"/>
    </dataTemplate>
    and then if i run the report again, the report will still show the result of previous query!! and then if i go back to data model then it will show the previous query there!! not sure why is it doing this way?? Also sometimes, when i create a new report and then view the result then it will revert its previous stage i.e report without Data model, LOVs and parameters!! That is the reason i thought its deleting the report while running report.
    Please suggest why is it acting this way? Appreciate your help and time.
    Thanks,

    Hello,
    Is it a frontend printing? Which device type is used?
    In recent SAPGUI patches, it is possible to map the tray ids via the
    Frontend Options Editor/ tab 'Printer Tray Selection'.
    (see KBA 1704243 about how to access the Frontend Options Editor)
    Please test the following:
    Select the printer model and in "Paper Trays", select "Tray 1",
    in the field "SAP ID" enter the value: 1
    and,
    select "Tray 2", in the field "SAP ID" enter the value: 2
    Do the same for Tray 3, 4...
    After this, please restart SAPGUI and test the printing.
    Regards,
    Wen Peng
