Cannot get my ph400 m401 printer to recoginize 3rd paper tray

Installed laserjet 400 m401 with 3rd paper tray but printer won't recoginize tray?

You will need to go into your printer and devices folder > right click on the printer > click printer properties > go to the device settings tab > look at installable options.
If tray 3 is on your printer use the pull down tab for automatic configuration and update now. Tray 3 should become avaialable.

When I try to click on print in Mapquest and PDF documents I cannot get the popup to print the page

When I try to click on print in Mapquest and PDF documents I cannot get the popup to print the page when I click on "print."

How can I get the print popup to work in Firefox 6.0?

My sister's 5s is having the same issue since yesterday.
Neither resetting via holding home+power buttons helped, nor the "reset all settings" in the settings. The only option left is erasing the iPhone and setting it up as a new phone ( or restoring from a backup?)

I cannot get my iPad to print with my wifi printer but it prints from my computer

Is your printer listed on this page as supporting AirPrint : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356 ?
If it doesn't support AirPrint then you could see if the printer manufacturer has their own app in the store which supports it (e.g. Epson have an iPrint app, and HP have an ePrint app). If not then there are third-party printer apps such as Print n Share and PrintCentral Pro which might work with it

Cannot get pdf file to print actual size

I recently had to reinstall my printer and now when printing PDF files I cannot get the page to print in full size. This is necessary because I am printing a pattern and the size has to be accurate. I am not even given the option anymore to be able to do this. I did have the option before the reinstall. BTW the reinstall is because the computer crashed and I had to take back to factory settings. I appreciate any help given. Thanks.

Manage Print Output with Print Preview
Assuming you have installed the Full Feature Software for the printer
and
Assuming that you have at least a recent version of Adobe Reader or Adobe software installed so you can download and open PDF files,
then
it may only be that the PDF print setup needs to be adjusted for the file prior to printing

How do I get my 8600 premium printer to auto select between tray 1 and tray 2?

How do I get my 8600 premium printer to auto select between tray 1 and tray 2? Right now, i have to pull out tray 1 to get the printer to feed tray 2.

Hi Retrotriker,
Follow the steps below to properly configure your paper trays.
1. Touch (right arrow), touch Setup, touch Preferences, and then select Default Tray
2. Select Tray 2 as the Default tray
3. Open Printers and Faxes
4. Right click on printer, and then select Printer Properties
5. Click on Device Settings tab
6. On this screen set the media type you have assigned to each tray (Example: tray 1 - Envelopes & Tray 2 - Letter)
7. Click Apply, and then Ok
8. When you have an envelope you are printing it will pull from Tray 1
9. When you have a letter you are printing it will pull from Tray 2

HP Photosmart Premium C309g Can not print Photos using small paper tray.

When I try to print using small paper tray, I get a message that states: "out of paper, add paper to main tray".
I have had this printer about 18 mos but have never tried printing found the small paper tray.
Does anyone have a solution to this ??

Hi,
Fisrt off all check if the paper tray is correctly on the unit, so take it of and replace it. Second go into printing preferances, select photo printing and find where you can select tha paper source, put it on phototray and try again.

I cannot get my iphone to print on 8500 officejet.

Just bought an Office Pro 8500A got it all set up but, cannot get my IPhone to find the printer. I have turn off the bluetooth, loaded the lastest software on the IPhone, turned off and on the printer, router, phone, and reset the WEP secure code on the printer for my wireles router. My compac laptop print wireless. Lost.

What router? Do not use WEP, it is not in the least secure. Switch your security to WPA with a 13+ character password.

I have Mac os10 yosemite and with photoshop elements 13 I cannot get a menu from Print to change the type of paper. Where is that menu The one that comes up only alows for paper size not type

After clicking print the menu that comes up does not allow for a change in paper type. Where can I change the paper type. OS 10.10 Yosemite with Photoshop Elements 13. I have a windows computer with the same program and the print menu has a paper settings option but not on the the mac. What gives. Is the Elements 13 not compatible with the OS 10 Yosemite? Thanks for any help

If you delete all the Adobe Reader stuff it will probably fix this. For almost everything, the Apple pdf handling works better.

Need PCL5 print codes to disable paper tray switching when tray is out of paper

We have a HP P4015n with 3 trays, tray one has letterhead, tray 2 has plain paper, tray 3 has preprinted forms (all 8.5"x11" paper size). This is connected to a Linux system with print jobs coming from a legacy software package - they are mainly text documents that have embedded PCL control codes.
The problem, when a tray is empty, the printing will continue to the next tray, which may have letterhead or preprinted form, etc.
Can I turn off auto tray switching? Either using a PCL printer code or through the printer control panel?
If I am printing to tray 3, and that tray is empty, I'd like the printer to wait until the tray has paper again, and not use a different tray.
I played around with the "paper type" (letterhead, preprinted form, etc) setting found on the Printer's built-in web page, but when I send a job there, the printer needs someone to hit the "OK" on the printer. I assume the printer is looking for the paper type embedded in the document to match. Is there a PCL print code for that?
I have been researching PCL5 printer control codes and can not find either command.
Thanks for any help,

This should help you out:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=bpl05272&jumpid...
As for it moving up to the next tray, it all depends on the printer. Some will not let the job continue to the next tray if the paper type is set differently but it is more common that the printer will just keep going. The only workaround I have found is when doing large jobs that you know will exceed tray capacity is to just make sure the right paper is in all the trays. The other thing too, is to keep the trays full (just make sure to put the fresh paper under the paper that is in the tray to reduce jamming issues).
I'm including the link for the history of PCL/PJL because at the bottom under Additional Documentation it links to pdf's of the technical manuals detailing everything you could ever want to know about manual coding for printing using these languages:

Cannot get HP C8180 to print from Windows XP

It prints fine in Lepoard, but cannot even set it up in Windows when I boot from mac using bootcamp.
I tried wired/wireless and it will not install any drivers.
Is this a bootcamp issue?
Thanks
Frank

Well, the only way I got this to work was using usb and plugging it into my airport express and then use bonjour. The network option did not work or wireless.
I ended up returning the C8180 and getting a MP970.

Cannot get my PSC 1350 printer operating anymore from OS 10.6.3

I have been facing quite an unexpected regression over the last couple of days
My kid told me the scanner option of PSC 1350 All-in-One was not working anymore. After some basic testing I arrived to the same conclusion.
I re-installed the printer using the HP installer disk (dated 2005) and could restore the scanner function successfully. Did a Print Test from the HP Director S/W and the test printed successfully. Unfortunately the normal print function from an application (TextEdit, Safari, etc.) regressed and I fail to get it working again until now.
Self-test of the printer is OK. I also repaired permissions with the Disk Utility. But no improvement.
Actually the symptom was when I tried to print, the file falls immediately in the queue list with error. But no error code or anything that could help to follow a track appears, this is why I am now begging some help to Mac wizards
I tried so many different configurations that I pass the historical details. This is driving me mad and this is where I am presently : I uninstalled all HP software and refreshed the printers list. Then I retrieved a PSC 1300 series driver for Mac OX X 10.6 on HP service website with a light of hope that it could finally fix the problem : Inkjet710_6_Print_Mac1.dmg
I ran installation SW and it reported successful installation.
The problem is now that I cannot retrieve any trace of the HP Installer presumably installed and the HP procedure never says clearly in which folder the HP Installer is due to copy.
Could anyone provide me with a clean procedure to :
1. check where the HP Installer may have been written, as running this HP Installer may hopefully be the end of my problems
Else
2. how to cleanse trace of any previous printer installation
3. how re-install from scratch the PSC 1300 series driver in a way that it prints successfully under Mac OS 10.6.3 other than using the HP Installer above.
Thanks in advance to who may help me to get out of the maze.

Gilou, I would suggest calling HP tech support, as this appears to be a problem with the printer, rather than with Snow Leopard. Good luck!

Cannot get computer to discover printer

Okay so a couple weeks ago I got an HP Officejet pro plus 8600 and have been having connectivity problems.
a bit of background
I have a macbook pro running 10.7.5
and a belkin n150 router
we also have an older desktop mac running snow leopard
Okay so from the beginning I was having problems getting the printer to actually print wirelessly. I was able to discover the printer by adding it to the print & scan under default. However at the time which was a few weeks ago it would give me the error message that it was offline and wouldn't print. Now heres the tricky part. I did something dealing with IP address that was recomended to me on an HP forum and it worked! That day I was able to print no problem.
A week later I open up my macbook and attempt to print and I am getting the same problem i.e. when I looked at the print que:
1. Menu says "looking for printer"
2. Menu says printing job 1% complete, barber pole scrolls
3. Menu says printer not responding
so I looked online for what to do.
I went to HP and followed the instructions from the link below.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02205477&cc=us&dlc=en&lang= en&lc=en&product=4323648#N12058
Because it seems that the printer is connecting to the wifi, I deleted the printer from the que and restarted my computer. I then did a power reset on the printer.
Ever since I deleted the printer from the que I have not been able to discover anything at all when I click the + in the print and fax menu.

Thanks for replying. Just to claify, when we try to connect the iPod to the computer via usb, when using the usb cable that came with the iPod, nothing at all transpires. I check and the computer does not recognize the device. When using another usb cable she purchased locally, we get the notice that the device cannot be loaded. It will be a day or two before I get down to them, so just wanted to run this by you. In the meantime, I will try your suggestions.

Cannot get Samsung ML1740 to print wirelessly

Hi everyone,
Am new to the Apple. I have a Dell PC running Vista with my Samsung ML1740 printer attached via USB. I have a router and wireless network. I have a MacBook Pro and would like to be able to print wirelessly through my network. Right now I can print if I use the USB port. How can I go about doing this? If you can walk me through the process it will be appreciated.

The following is several steps you can follow. Note that I have made the assumption that you already have your MacBook Pro connected via wireless to the same network as the Dell. If this is not the case then please reply.
First thing you will need to do is share the printer in Vista and keep the share name to something short and preferably without spaces, such as ML1740. You should also check that the Guest account is enabled, as you will be asked to authenticate when you connect to the share from the Mac.
With the printer shared you can then open System Preferences > Print & Fax on the Mac and click the + to add a queue. With the new window that appears you will see several icons, such as Default, Fax, IP and Windows. Select the Windows icon. This will show a window with three columns. The first column will show the workgroup names of the computers on the same network as the Mac. If you don't see any workgroup names then you don't have the Mac on the same network as the Dell. If you do see the workgroup name then select it and this will show the Dell computer name in the next column. When you select the Dell's name you will get prompted to authenticate. Select Guest and OK. This should now make the shared name appear in the third column. Select this and see what the Print Using menu does. This could be the last problem as many vendors printer drivers are written for direct connections only - not for connecting via Windows shares. So if you do select the ML1740 in the Print Using menu but find you cannot print then the problem is most likely due to the driver. See how you go with the above and if you get stuck at any point then please reply.

Nothing happens because in the actionPerformed() method you are creating a new version of GUIdirectory. You just want to execute the dbTest() method of the current instance of GUIdirectory.
The code should be:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
//GUIdirectory gui = new GUIdirectory();
//gui.dbTest();
dbTest();

I cannot get an Adobe pdf printer to correctly install in windows 7 64 bit

I purchased Acrobat Pro XI and installed and it went fine. I then installed my copy of Master Collection 5.5, it didn't install Acrobat X, and the printer disappeared. I have tried to repair my XI installation, but it won't do it, and I have tried to uninstall it to reinstall it, but it won't let me do that either. I cannot find the location for a correct Adobepdf.inf file wherte it is supposed to be. I find two in windows/system32/driverstore, but they do not work correctly.

Hi stampguy,
You might want to refer the thread : Re: Manually installing PDF Printer to add printer manually.
Usually repairing Acrobat brings the pdf printer back.
Please try updating to the latest patch 11.0.7 and check.
