Cannot print to tray 3 on an HP4300dtn printer

I installed Leopard on both my Mac Pro desktop and my MacBook Pro laptop. Got most of the problems solved, but printing to my HP4300dtn is a problem - only prints to tray 2, not matter what I do. Even though the print dialog box shows printing to be done on tray 3, it prints to tray 2 regardless. Since we use letterhead and nonletterhead paper, this is a problem that is wasting lots of time.
Also, parallels running Windows XP can no longer print to the HP printer. All was working well under 10.4.
I have tried reinstalling the original HP drivers from the CD that came with the printer - that has not helped.
What should I do?

Seems to be a bug with HP and leopard printer drivers - you can manually set the tray using the cups web interface instead of through the print gui window at http://localhost:631. This will set the default the entire system though, not just for one print job or application. Other than this workaround, i guess we just have to wait for apple/cups/hp to resolve the issue.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus paper tray will not go all the way in so cannot print

    Have loved this printer for almost two years but suddenly the drawer which holds the paper will not go all the way in so cannot print.  Took it to a so-called tech at Office Depot who said that because you cannot open/remove the tray, there is no way to see what is jamming it.  Any thoughts?  My first call for tech support was answered by a tech here in the US who said they had experience with it and it could be fixed and asked dme to call again when I was back in the office and at the printer.  The next four calls were answered overseas and they all had had no experience with this problem.

    Hi maebun,

  • Cannot select output tray on a stapler stacker using universal print drivers

    With universal print derivers 5.2, we cannot select output tray for print job on a stapler stacker.  All jobs are set to automatic output and only uses the lower tray, not other trays.

    Hi drlake,
    I understand that you are having issues with printing specialty paper/labels after updating your computer. It would be best if you posted your question on the HP Laser jet Commercial Site <here>.
    This would be the best place to find your answer.

  • Office jet pro 8600 cannot print from tray 1

    We have an officejet pro 8600 with a second tray installed. Plain paper in the second tray which is on default on actual printer. Headed paper in tray one which is locked on printer.
    Cannot print letterhead. If I manually go into printer preferences and select tray 1 to print on letter head printer will only print from tray 2. 
    Please help! 
    I know I can also go into printer on PC and make some settings under the installed device but no matter what I do printer will only print from tray 2 plain paper.

    Hello @polecat123 , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you are experiencing tray selection issues.  I would love to try and help you, but I do need a little information first. I am linking a few HP Support documents below that will show you how to find which operating system you are using. Also, if you're using Windows, please include whether your operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit.

  • Cannot print to pdf with Acrobat 8

    I have just gotten a new laptop and moved my CS2 over to it. Everything works fine except I cannot print to a pdf like I used to. I can save as a pdf, but when I print to Adobe pdf, the printer icon pops up in the system tray. When I click on it, the window displays the print job with status: Error-sent to printer. It's the same thing when I try to print a web page or a Word document to a pdf.
    By the way, this version of CS2 came with Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 and Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 on seperate disks from the CS2 installation disks. Thanks in advance for the help.

    And by the way, I did look at my startup folder. The following items are checked:
    Adobe Acrobat Speed Launcher
    Adobe Acrobat Sychronizer
    Adobe Systems, Inc. Gamma Loader
    AcroTray - Adobe Acrobat Distiller helper application

  • I have a B210 printer and cannot print 4 X 6 from my computer either Adobe, HP essentials or Kodak i

    I have a b210 printer and cannot print 4 X 6 from my computer other than Snapfish.  I have photos either on Adobe 8; scanned to myu HP Essentials or kodak.  Even though I have paper that will fit in the printer.  How can I rememdy this.

    Hi, Matty. Select Page Setup from iPhoto's File menu, select your printer, and choose 4x6 as the paper size. I believe the Print dialog box governs what size the image is printed at, but the Page Setup dialog governs which paper tray is used. I don't have a printer that can use 4x6 paper, so I can't test this suggestion myself. Hope it works for you.

  • Cannot print A3 from InDesign to Canon clc 4040 printer

    Hi I have a problem that may or may not have anything to do with InDesign...
    Office with 5 Mac Pros, PowerPC models, all running identical OSX 10.5.latest, Adobe CS4 everything.
    All software up to date. Basically all machines identical.
    All users are storing their files on the same network volume.
    3 Macs can print A3 to the Canon clc 4040 but 2 cannot. This is Mac20 used by Kirsti and Mac07 used by Kevin.
    If Kirsti sits at Mac20 she cannot print A3 from InDesign. It prints an A4 page, being part of the whole A3 document (its not the A3 doc shrunk to fit A4) The same goes for all other apps including MS Word. Page setup =A3, printer setup = A3, result... printer prints A4. BUT she can print A3 from Quark XPress 8.0.
    If Kirsti logs in to another Mac she still cannot print A3 BUT the usual user of that Mac CAN print A3. But if they try to print Kirsti's files A3 they cannot.
    All Macs have exactly the same driver from Canon. Latest version 2.0 from their website.
    Deleting the InDesign preferences from the Mac makes no difference.
    All Macs on same network.
    All connecting to Canon clc 4040 via network using IP or using Bonjour. Same result with either protocol.
    I have deleted and re-installed the printer countless times.
    The only "work around" is to remove the A4 tray and "force" the printer to use A3.
    The above scenario is the same for Kevin on Mac07
    The Canon CLC 4040 has a "Fiery RIP" whatever that is...
    Can anyone point me at where the problem lies? I have had a Canon tech on site but he could do nothing.
    Message was edited by: Triumph5ta, corrected a typo.

    My experience is with CS2 on OS 10.3.9 and 10.4.11, so this may have changed in CS3, or 10.5....
    Setup a custom paper size for your printer.
    This can be accessed from within the InDesign Print window.
    File > Print
    Select your printer from the
    Printer: pulldown menu (if not already selected)
    Click
    Page Setup... at the bottom left
    Click
    Settings and then select
    Custom Paper Size from the list of options
    Click
    New, name the style, define the paper size and printable margins, and save it.
    Click OK to exit the page setup.
    In the InDesign Print Window, Click on
    Page Setup... again
    Select
    Your New Paper Size in the Page Setup
    Paper Size: pulldown, then click OK.
    InDesign Print window
    Setup should reflect the new page size and list the paper size as "Defined by Driver"
    If your document page size is the same as your paper size, then the preview in the lower left should reflect that.

  • Cannot print a PDF file after upgrading to Windows 8.1

    Cannot print a PDF file after upgrading to Windows 8.1
    I can print anything else from either the Desktop or Start but not a PDF.  No error message but just does not print.
    Update: down loaded Adobe Reader which runs on the desktop so when I read a PDF file it now runs on the desktop and I can print it.

  • Cannot print to HP M1212nf from iPad 2 iOS 5.0.1 (9A405)

    I have an HP LaserJet M1212nf MFP printer which I cannot print to. 
    Previously, I have a couple of iPod Touch 4G's that were on iOS 4.2.x and was able to print to it successfully.
    Now, for whatever reason, I cannot print to it from my iPod Touch 4G's nor from my new iPad 2.  I just bought the iPad 2 within the last two weeks.  The iPod Touch 4G's and iPad 2 are all on iOS 5.0.1 (9A405).
    If I try to print from Safari, I get a "No AirPrint Printers Found" message from both the iPods and iPad.
    I have tried to update the HP LaserJet M1212nf with the latest firmware from the HP support site to no avail.  See below link:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&p roduct=3965849
    What puzzles me is that this all used to work with iOS 4.2.x flawlessly with the iPods.  Now mysteriously, it no longer works in iOS 5.0.1 with the iPods. It also does not work with the new iPad. 
    I wonder if there's anything that I need to configure to get this working again.  I realize that it should be all just "plug-n-play" and AirPrint should all work automatically.  Even before the upgrade to the latest HP firmware, the iPods stopped printing to it after they were upgraded to iOS 5.0.1. 
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,

    You can download the software free for evaluation, only costs $10.00 to purchase if it works for you.

  • Cannot print from hp DeskJet F4580

    I have just bought my first MacBook with Mac OS X 10.6.4. Great computer.
    However I cannot print from the wireless hp printer. I downloaded the latest driver from hp (maybe a fault) and started to install. Everything went as expected untill the setup process of the Printer Queue. Here I add the printer in order to create the Printer Queue, but when I click on the continue buttom I get this warning: Are you sure you want to continue without adding a Print Queue? I finished the installation with a congratulation sign.
    Therefore there is no doubt, that the printer queue is missing. However I cannot found out to install the printer queue.
    The printer is a socalled all-in-one printer. The scanner function is perfect with the wireless connection. But not the printer function.
    I have also tried to connect via usb cabel. The result is the same. Scanner okay. Printer not okay.
    The printer works perfect under Windows.
    I hope somebody can help me. Thanks in advance.
    Erik

    I'm having the same problem ! The wireless printing works using OS 10.5 on a G4 PowerBook but not OS 10.6 on an intel MacBook. I'm going to get in touch with HP as have used the latest drivers (as you have) - I've re-installed the HP software using Software Update for the latest version - still can't print. USB printing is also faulty so must be their drivers.
    I'll let you know if I have any luck !

  • I cannot print from Websites or my college online course. Tries to save files to desktop as an .xps document but nothing happens and I get an error message that print command did not work. Have reinstalled firefox and adobe, no help. Any suggestions?

    Cannot print anything from internet using Firefox as browser. Please advise. I have to use Firefox for internet college courses, cannot print my assignments. I do not have this problem on Mac or using Internet Explorer. Only happens when using Firefox. When I select print a message comes up to save information to desktop as .xps file. Select save, sometimes it is on the desktop but I cannot open the file or it simply does not save file and get an error message that print command failed. What is happening?

    {Ctrl + P} and select your printer in the Printer - Name box near the top of that window.

  • Cannot Print PDF File from IE8 Beta 2

    I recently installed Adobe Reader 9 and Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 under Vista 32-bit. When a PDF file appears under IE8, I cannot print the file. The print command shows only a blank page. If I save the PDF file, open Adobe Reader 9 and open this PDF file, I can print the file correctly. Please advise if you have the same issue and possible fixes?
    Thank you...

    I have a similar problem. I have Adobe Reader 9 and IE8 Beta 2 on Vista Ultimate, and other pdf drivers as well. When I try to print to any pdf driver in IE8 B2 I get "Access Denied" message box, then when I click OK I guest a script error on line 2037, Char 1, unspecified error, code 0, URL: res//ieframe.dll/preview.js. It occurs with all the pdf print drivers I have including ScanSoft PDFCreate, Quicken PDF printer, and DocuCom PDF printer. If I do print preview and then print, there is no response.
    Debugging java scripts is more than I want to get into. Any ideas?

  • CANNOT PRINT FROM ADOBE 8.1.2 PDF FILE TO OLIVETTI ANYWAY

    Hi I have had this problem before wiht a laserjet printer and cannot remember how I have solved it.
    I am on a Macbook pro running leopard OS 10.5.2 and trying to print a standard pdf from Adobe Acrobat Professional Reader 8.1.2 to an olivetti anyway. I have no other probs printing,and can print this same pdf through preview, but the fonts default.
    It goes through as if it is printing then in the printer set up it just stops itself and won't print.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers

    I did download new drivers, but the situation gets even more interesting. It is only one file I can't print. I print .pdf files from a particular website quite often. When I started having problems with this one file - I just got stuck there. Well, I went to some of the other "new" pdf files and was able to print those. I still cannot print one particular page. I have tried downloading the file to my hard drive but still could not print. I have decided there is some code in this particular file that my printer cannot compute. I did manage to get it printed in B/W on an HP laser printer. Just is a weird glitch. Thanks for responding.
