CD Packaging: InkJet vs LaserJet Printers

what's the main difference?
Would Laserjet prints smudge at all when printing on cd inserts or on the cd face?
color laserjets have come down in price and after researching prices from Pro CD Packaging companies i am thinking of getting one.
thanks

I bought a refurb Epson last year (from Epson) for $50. My CDs look as good as anything I've bought from a CD store.

LaserJet Printers and Windows 10 drivers

LaserJet Customers, hp.com is experiencing Windows 10 download issues with some software bundles for LaserJet printers- If you do not find the software bundle for your printer under the Windows 10 download option for your product- check to see if there is a Windows 8.1 software download for your product and use that download instead. To check and see if your product is support in Windows 10, check this compatibiity matrix. Thank you.

Hi alternet, Sorry, I was offering a workaround to the original post about left-to-right and right-to-left gestures. @alternet: To your inquiry about Bluetooth disconnect, I had the same issue with Windows 8.1, so I do not believe the issue is specific to Windows 10. My current N700 with bluetooth works well with Windows 10 and manages to reconnect after restarting. I don't know whether it'll work for you, but I did the following and it worked: 1) Remove all previous installations of N700 on the computer, 2) Pair it up in mouse/bluetooth mode, 3) Don't touch the mouse, leave it there, 4) Restart the computer and login, 5) Make sure Bluetooth is on, 6) Move the mouse so it pairs automatically. From then onwards, the pairing would work whenever I turn on the mouse and computer. Let me know how it goes!

Can not have Photosmart and Laserjet printers installed on same MAC???

Since I purchased my eMac, I had a Hp Photosmart 7350. I recently purchased a Hp Laserjet 3030 to use it as a default printer. Unfortunatelly, I haven't been able to installed both printers on my eMac in a way that they work (I select which printer to use from the printer option). I can installed them individually an they work perfectly. As soon as I install the second driver, the Laserjet printer doesn't do anything and the Photosmart prints garbage.
Can anyone help me with this problem?

This is a known problem with some HP printers. You need to resolve this with HP's technical support. The forums only provide user-to-user technical support for Apple products.

Getting old Laserjet printers to work with Windows 7

Hi Everyone,
For those of you, like me, that may have an old Laserjet 4, 5, or 6 I figured out how to get it to work with Windows 7!
First, new computers do not have LPTx ports. So, when you first set up your Laserjet you MUST select a USB port - this is the main problem with getting your old laserject to work on a new computer. MY computer dispalyed USB001 and USB002. Since I have another HP printer installed using USB001, I selected USB002. You will also need a Pararellel to USB adapter cable - you can buy one on Amazon (I paid just $11.87).
Next, when selecting a printer driver you MUST select HP, NOT Hewlett Packard. Scroll down until you find Laserjet 4,5, or 6. NOTE, if you don't see these models, click on the Windows update button in the dialog box. NOTE: This may take a few minutes to display the updated list. Again, select HP and scroll down the list of drivers until you find your model Laserjet (Laserjet 4, 5, or 6).
At this point you should be good. Just finish the install process and make sure to print out a test page.
Good luck !

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/
I hope this helps.

How to Remove & Re-Enable Web Services on LaserJet printers supporting ePrint

If your LaserJet printer has been disconnected from or failed to connect to Web Services, you may need to power cycle your printer to reconnect. If that does not resolve the problem, you can remove web services, wait 30 seconds, then re-enable web services to re-establish your connection to ePrint and Print Apps. Note: this last step will result in a new email address being assigned to your printer.
How do I remove HP Web Services for my LaserJet printer?
Print a configuration page from your product, and locate the IP address.
At your computer, open a Web browser and type the product IP address into the address line and press Enter. The HP Embedded Web Server opens.
Click the HP Web Services tab.
Select the option to disable Web Services.
How do I enable or re-enable HP Web Services for my LaserJet printer?
To use HP ePrint, you must first enable HP Web Services. Re-Enabling Web Services uses the same procedure as enabling the Web Services.
Print a configuration page from your product, and locate the IP address.
At your computer, open a Web browser and type the product IP address into the address line and press Enter. The HP Embedded Web Server opens.
Click the HP Web Services tab.
Select the option to enable Web Services.
When Web Services are enabled, ePrint information appears in the HP Embedded Web Server. Look for the e-mail address that is automatically assigned to the product. The product also prints an HP Web Services information sheet that contains this e-mail address and instructions
If you were unable to register your printer in www.hpeprintcenter.com within 24 hours of printing your information sheet, you must re-enable the printer code by reprinting your information sheet. The information sheet will also provide your email address if you have forgotten it.
How do I print the Web Services Information Sheet for my LaserJet printer?
You can only add the printer to your HP ePrintCenter account within 24 hours after printing the information sheet. You can re-print the information sheet at any time from the printer control panel.
Print a configuration page from your product, and locate the IP address.
At your computer, open a Web browser and type the product IP address into the address line. The HP Embedded Web Server opens.
Click the HP Web Services tab.
Click the Print Information Sheet button.

Older LaserJet printers compress PDF when printing

When I print a PDF to both a newer (LJ 4250) and an older (LJ 4m) LaserJet, the older LaserJet compresses the PDF vertically, even though page scaling is turned off. I'm trying to print a PDF of data onto a preprinted form, and the compression is causing alignment issues. Thoughts or solutions?

It might be your printer settings rather than adobe reader. When you get the dialog box up have a look at the prefernces next to your printer selection and make sure they are what you need. E.g. if your printer thinks it's printing out on a different paper size it my change the dimentions of the print out.

TCO (Total cost of ownership) of LaserJet printers

Dear friends,
can somebody to help us with comparison of TCO at HP Laser Jet printers ?
I´am looking for something similar like THIS Excel file from competition (OKI), sorry this very interesting file is in czech only, I can´t find out it in english.
In our company we have from HP about 70% of all laser printers.
So I need some help from HP with our right decision, which new printers is for our printing volume the best.
Do you know some advice ? Thank you a lot if yes.

I do not know of published TCO information, but I would suggest contacting HP sales in your region as I would expect they would be able to provide information. You might also try asking in the HP Business Support Forum. The forum here is more focused on consumer level devices, the Business Support Forum is more focused on the business printers.

LaserJet Printers

Can someone tell me what happened to the LaserJet Forum..?? I can't find it ...

They moved posts over from Enterprise to Consumer and there is no laserjet forum. What I do is put Laserjet in the search box and then choose either 1 day or more when the list comes up. I also go to the right and choose date as the sort method. If you want to post a question do the search and see under which forum most of the posts take place. I and others have suggest to create a lasejet forum, but so far the powers to be seem reluctant to do so.

RGB or CMYK profile?

hi all
I need to know if my printer uses RGB or CMYK profile. I have 2 Hp printers, one inkjet and one color laser. I know inkjet (should) use RGB profile, but my problem is the color laser. I wish to confirm definitevly if it uses rgb or cmyk (since many lasers uses CMYK, yet not all)
my model is HP CP1515n
This is mainly for calibrating the printer for spoof printing.
I tried to search on the web but havent found much
and the providers who offer calibration service tell me to confirm with manufcaturer.... so to summarize, is there a way to know any printer what type of profile does it use? (and if it is able to load a custom profile?)
I'm running both win XP and Win 7
thanks

Both the inkjet and laserjet printers have CMYK inks or toners, but the drivers for both expect RGB data (actually sRGB).
Perhaps someone else here could give insight about applying color management profiles, that is outside my expertise.

Mac Pro compatibility with HP Designjet Plotter

Hi All.
My architectural firm are about to order some new Mac Pro's and a new HP Designjet 500 A1 plotter. I'm currently using a G5 on 10.4.7 and have just noticed that the HP 500 is not listed in the Printer Setup Utility.
Does anyone know if support for this plotter is available anywhere?
Thanks.

AJ -
We had the same problem with our old Designjet 430. Both OS9 and OSX were completely unsupported by HP. We had to fork out for 3rd party software for OS9 and the Gimp driver for OSX resulted in very poor quality plots.
I've had a look and there is a HP driver for the 500 for OSX, but for 10.4 it says:
HP Printers - Mac OS: Print only HP Drivers (non-Postscript) built into Mac OS X v10.4 (Tiger)
Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger and HP Driversback to top of page
The latest HP printer driver for this device is built into Tiger for print only functionality and does not require a download or reinstallation of any HP software to print.
This document applies to raster (non-Postscript) HP Designjet, Deskjet, Business Inkjet, and LaserJet printers.
In order to best take advantage of the latest HP driver and new Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger features, it is recommended that you delete original HP printer queues from Printer Setup Utility and create a new HP printer queue.
Tiger - HP printer setup instructions:
1.Upgrade install from Mac OS X v10.1, 10.2, 10.3 - select 'Reset Printing System" option (from the Printer Setup Utility pull down menu) to delete all previous printer queues. The HP printer queue can also be deleted manually from Printer Setup Utility.
2.From Printer Setup Utility, click on Add, select connection type (e.g. All, Bonjour, USB, Appletalk) and create new HP printer queue. The Printer Setup Utility is found in the Applications/Utilities folder.
3.Clean install - If there is a clean install of Tiger, follow step 2 to add a new HP printer queue.
That has me scratching my head because as I said, the 500 isn't listed in Printer Setup.
Any ideas?

HP LaserJet Pro 300/400 (M375nw & M475dn) - Driver packages will not install

Hello all,
I need some assistance with a very persistent and frustrating issue trying to get driver software packages for our LaserJet M375nw & M475dn to install correctly. We are running Windows 7 Pro x64 on HP 8300 desktop PCs.
We have these printers printing properly via our print server and the proper .inf driver but need the ability to scan to the PC. I would like to install the HP-provided software packages (which include the Scan driver & utility) but am running into the error below.
"A problem occurred while preparing to install software to your system. Please restart your computer, and run this installer again. If the problem persists, please check the product support web site for your product."
I get this error at 80% in the "preparing to install" process. I am using the latest drivers from the website for each of these models (which actually use the same package). I have tried both the Full and Basic driver package with the same results.
We have these printers installed via a static IP on the Network, not USB. I am trying to install as a Local Administrator. UAC is disabled. The PC is fully updated and doesn't have much in the way of custom software. It has SCCM client, MS SQL Native Client, Google Earth, Adobe, Trend Micro AV, OnBase, Office 2007 and Chrome installed.
Here are some of the things I've tried w/o success:
Tried installing with latest drivers from HP website
Ran all Windows updates
Ran the Scrubber uninstaller provided in the package / Running "uninstall" executable from HP software
Disabled all non-MS startup programs/services in msconfig, disabled Antivirus, rebooted, tried to again
Restarting computer (many, many times between different troubleshooting steps)
Tried disabling "Smart Install" (though I think this only applies to USB connections)
Checked print spooler - it indeed is started/running properly
Uninstalled all HP-branded software
Can any of you offer some help please? I'm not sure what to try next.

Smoking Printers - HP LaserJet P1006 and HP 1022

Users have reported smoke coming out of two printers (HP LaserJet P1006 and HP 1022) when in use and after 3-4 pages have printed. The printer also gets hot and the heat kan be felt by putting the hand over the area where the printed paper comes out. The printed paper also curls up that normally happens when the paper gets hot.
Does anyone have any idea or a solution?

What most folks identify as smoke with LaserJet printers, specifically low end Consumer laser printers is actually steam and not smoke. As the fusing assembly heats the paper, moisture within is literally "cooked out" and will vent out of the top output sometimes appearing as smoke, but will quickly dissipate. This is totally normal and should not be cause for concern. There are ways to help minimize this by storing paper in an airtight container (think Tupperware) to prevent it from absorbing moisture from the air. Many folks believe it takes a lot of time for paper to absorb moisture, but in reality, it only takes a few hours.
Although this phenomenon can occur with all laser printers, higher end Commercial LaserJet printers include fans to help dissipate it better. Low end LaserJet printers do not have internal fans, so it can be more noticeable. In general, if the printer will print, all is good. There are thermistors built in to the fusing assembly to measure heat. Anything out of spec will prompt and error on the unit itself and will not allow the unit to print.
A good reference doc on this can be found at the following URL:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=110&prodSeriesId=...
Obviously, if you see real smoke (grey, white or blue) from other areas (right, left side covers) and the unit is displaying an error, this would be cause for concern.
Though I work for HP, My posts express MY opinion, and not those of HP.
