Direct Dvd printing with 8600

So I was wondering if it was possible to print directly to a dvd with the HP 8600. I have the middle one. So not the basic one and not the one that comes with the extra feeder. Does anybody know if I can print directly or if there is an attachment I can buy to do this?

No,
The HP Photosmart C309 was the latest HP model which supported drect printing on a DVD, currently there are no HP printers which offer this kind of functionality and a such cannot be added with any extra accessory.

DVD printing with Pro 100

Pro 100. Is there a way to use the hundreds of DVD labels I have already created in Epson Print CD, either with or without using My Image Garden, or do I have to start from scratch? I have Photoshop CC 2015.

Hello. If your software saves your files to a format that was designed only for that program, you will not be able to use the files with our own software. Please check to see if there is a way to save the images to JPEG format for use in our software.

Print RDLC Report Directly to Printer with SubReports!

I am currently printing a report directly to the default printer using the code from this link.
http://msdn.AddHandler
ReportViewer1.LocalReport.SubreportProcessing, AddressOf SubreportProcessingEventHandler
and this code:
Public Sub SubreportProcessingEventHandler(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As SubreportProcessingEventArgs)
Dim zrpt = e.ReportPath
Select Case zrpt
Case "WOPartsSubReport"
Dim ds1 As New WOPartsSubReportDataSet
Dim da1 As New WOPartsSubReportDataSetTableAdapters.wopartsTableAdapter
da1.Fill(ds1.woparts)
e.DataSources.Add(New ReportDataSource("DataSet1", ds1.Tables("woparts")))
Case "WOLaborSubReport"
Dim ds2 As New WOLaborSubReportDataSet
Dim da2 As New WOLaborSubReportDataSetTableAdapters.wolaborTableAdapter
da2.Fill(ds2.wolabor)
e.DataSources.Add(New ReportDataSource("DataSet1", ds2.Tables("wolabor")))
Case "WOLockoutSubReport"
Dim ds As New WOLockOutSubReportDataSet
Dim da As New WOLockOutSubReportDataSetTableAdapters.wolockTableAdapter
da.Fill(ds.wolock)
e.DataSources.Add(New ReportDataSource("DataSet1", ds.Tables("wolock")))
End Select
End Sub
But now that I am NOT using a reportviewer how can I still get the subreports to work and still print directly to the printer? Where would I put the code to do that?
Thanks,
Stacy

DVD Printer (a printer capable of printing directly on a DVD)?

Hello,
I hope this is the right forum for this question: has anybody had experience with DVD printers (a printer capable of printing directly on a DVD)? Is there a special kind of DVDs required for these printers? What printer works well, does anybody have experience with these?
A search on these forums brought no results. Also, I am not interested in label makers.
Thanks!
-Dima

Epson and Canon both have great ink jet printers that allow for dvd printing directly to the top surface (normally to a white surface dvd). For the past few years I've been using white surface Verbatim and a Canon Printer IP3000. Newer models do an even better job.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 print with depleted cartridges

The HP Officejet Pro 8600 User Guide says:
"The printer can operate with one or more depleted cartridges. However, printing with depleted cartridges slows the printer and affects the quality of printed documents. If the black cartridge is depleted, blacks are not as dark. If a color cartridge is depleted, output is in grayscale. When possible, replace the depleted cartridge. Do not remove the depleted cartridge until you have a new ink cartridge available to replace. "
But the printer does not print with an depleted yellow cartridges. Do I have to change some settings? Or how can I make the printer print my document without replaceing the yellow cartridges?

I am annoyed. There is nothing on page 91 of my manual to indicate that there needs to be ink in all cartridges. I can understand now why it won't print when one is empty, but one of the reasons I bought this printer is because it is supposed to print black only when up to 2 cartridges are depleted. My manual (page 90) says:
"The printer can operate with one or more depleted cartridges. However, printing with
depleted cartridges slows the printer and affects the quality of printed documents. If the

What exactly is your printer model? The verbage of the above is that for an IPH printer (with a black and a tri-color cartridge or perhaps a black, tri-color and photo cartridge), it does not apply to printers with separate ink supplies and printheads. Can you give a link to the manual online, or scan the page and post it here for your printer?
I can find several manuals online but not the one that I have and I don'tknow how to upload anything here. I have copied and pasted the relevant information from "my" manual, which has a black cover, says Officejet Pro in green, and says 8600 User Guide in white. I can see the other information in other manuals which explains about printing with LOW ink but not with NO ink. If you can tell me how to upload "my" manual, I'd be happy to do so. Meanwhile, here's what I've copied and pasted, and thanks for your interest.

Print with one or more depleted cartridges
The printer can operate with one or more depleted cartridges. However, printing with
depleted cartridges slows the printer and affects the quality of printed documents. If the
black cartridge is depleted, blacks are not as dark. If a color cartridge is depleted,
output is in grayscale. When possible, replace the depleted cartridge. Do not remove
the depleted cartridge until you have a new ink cartridge available to replace. For
information about how to install new cartridges, see Replace the ink cartridges.
CAUTION: Wait until you have a new ink cartridge available before removing the
old ink cartridge. Do not leave the ink cartridge outside of the printer for an
extended period of time. This can result in damage to both the printer and the ink
cartridge.

OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus - N911g - refuses to print with an exhausted cartridge (yellow)

Hi,
I owned this printer some months ago, and I have already substituted the black cartridge some times ago.
In fact, I usually use the b&w option to print my documents, and I use very little to no colors, instead.
Before deciding to buy this printer I had read the printer guide, which reports (translated from Italian):
[Printing with one or more cartridges exhausted]
The printer can work with one or more cartridges exhausted. However, printing with exhausted cartridges slows the printing process down and lowers the quality of the documents printed. If the black cartridge is exhausted, blacks are not going to be really dark. If a color cartridge is exhausted, the result is in the grey scale. As soon as possible, replace the exhausted cartridge. Don't remove the exhausted cartridge before you can replace it with a new one. [...]
(screenshot attached)
The downloadable user-guide reports (no translation):
[Color cartridge very low on ink]
To temporarily print using black ink only, click Cancel Print and then re-send the print job. The
Use black ink only? message appears before the job prints. The empty cartridges will need to be
replaced soon.
(screenshot attached)
So, when I decided to go for this printer, knowing I substantially use black only for my studies and my work, I did take care of reading the entire printer guide and look for these specific official declarations by HP on the printer functionalities.
Additionally, I took care of disabling any HP protection and pages control on the cartridges before installing them, using the printer menu.
Today, instead, I've found out the printer won't print with an exhausted yellow cartridge. This is what the message window says (translated freely, again, from Italian):
[Exhausted cartridge]
HP 951 SETUP Yellow
Replace the cartridges in the list to be able to print.
HP advises not to remove the cartridge until you have a replacement one ready for installation.
Buttons are: [Buy online...] [Cancel printing] [?]
(screenshot attached)
[?] leds to the words I've reported earlier.
I still have the "print just with the black cartridge" option enabled.
I tried cancelling the print and sending the print job again multiple times, as it is described in the guide, but no "Use black ink only?" message appears.
Before invoking and thinking to the "fraud", I ask, how am I going to be able to print, then?

The manual indicates the printer can temporarily use black only once a color cartridge is low. Once the cartridge is depleted it will need to be replaced, otherwise damage to the printed may occur.
HP and other printer manufacturers have different printer technologies for different needs.
Some have printheads built into the ink cartridges. These printers can typically print with one or more of the colors completely empty, or even with color or black (but not both) cartridges removed. The Deskjet 6980 series is an example.
Other printers have separate ink supplies and replaceable printheads. An example would be the Officejet 8600. The printhead in these printers can be replaced if they are damaged by running the printhead with colors out. Some of these printers will allow printing with a color out, other will not. If the printer is run without ink in one or more colors the printer may be damaged, but the user may be able to recover without having to send the printer for service.
Other printers have permanent printheads. To run these without some ink in all the colors would risk causing damage to the printhead due to clogs, air ingested in the printheadvor burned out printhead firing resistors. The Photosmart 3310 series is an example of this type of printer. For printers with fixed printheads this could require service to get the printer to print properly again when the ink is finally replaced.
The document here describes how ink is used. While the document is written for HP Inkjet printers the same principles apply to inkjet printers from other manufacturers.

How do i install a new printer with no dvd?

how do i install a new printer with no dvd?

Hook it up and see if it works. If it is one of the more common printer brands/models, it could very well have it's drivers installed, depending on how your OS was installed. If not, you can always go to the support site for your printer and download the drivers, if necessary.
What kind of printer do you have? What OS and how was it installed?

I have problems printing with a HP Officejet 6500 printer directly from my iMac. The printer itself does function well, as I can print from another PC without any problems. Does anyone have a clue?

Hello:
I must apologize . I should have checked here first:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP
According to the list, there is no driver for your printer included in OS X 10.7.
There are a couple of options:
1. Contact HP to see if they have a workaround.
2. If the model of printer is not listed but your printer is a PostScript printer or PCL Laser printer, try the "Generic PostScript" or "PCL Laser printer" drivers. Generic printer drivers may not let you access all the features of your printer.
I have not tried #2, but some people have had success.

Cant set up my HP office jet 8600 printer with my iPad mini

Can't set my HP office jet 8600 printer with my iPad mini

That is not an AirPrint supported printer. Check for compatibility here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
Check the App Store for an HP app that may provide limited printing functionality. Alternatively, you can use your computer as a wireless print server using an app like Printopia. Note that your computer must be on and able to print for this solution to work.

PRINT DIRECTLY VIA WIFI TO A PRINTER WITH BBZ10

You might, I don't know.

HelloIs there any application that will allow (without having the computer on) print directly via wifi to a printer that has wifi?.I just bought a SAMSUNG ML2165W that supports wifi and all persons who have a mobile android or IOS are able to print directly except me with my BBz10, is frustrating. The application of samsung (upload http:apk2bar.org) samsung mobile print, specific for this type of printer does not work. Anyway, if anyone has a solution to this problem since it seems lie that a mobil specifically designed to facilitate work, office and company actions, do not allow this type of action. A greeting.

How best to use adobe photoshop on a direct ink injecter garment printer with an Epson pinter head and nozzel sprey

just starting t-shirt printing business but having problem pairing printer to PC using adobe Photoshop 13 elements software

You will need to give more information.
Please define "having problem pairing printer to PC." -- Tell the whole story, what you are trying to do, and what happens instead ...
This sounds so far like it's a printer problem, not a Photoshop problem ... ? Have you tried printing with other applications? Does that work?
Have you checked your cables? Print drivers? Read the printer manual, etc. -- ?

C309a DVD Printer WILL NOT PRINT!

Has anyone tried suing HP for false advertising? I certainly will be after purchasing this abortion of a printer.
**bleep** that sales rep! He told me this C309a would be the perfect printer for my needs. That is, it would print perfectly and directly onto my 100's of DVD's. With ease no less!
Bollox! I knew I should have got him to prove it.
OK, now for my technical issue:
My C309a won't print to CD/DVD. I'm running Win7, have ALL the HP downloads, use HP Essentials to set up the disc for printing and have gone into the printer settings to change preferences. In Essentials I've done exactly the same at the PRINT stage.
I've then opened the CD/DVD tray. I've followed the instructions on the little animation, I've clicked on PRINT and the stupid piece of plastic gives me
CD/DVD TRAY IS OPEN ---- PLEASE CLOSE TRAY TO CONTINUE PRINTING
I've spent hours and hours trying to sort this. I've downloaded God only knows how much software, programs and ruddy updates. So now I'm at the end of my tether. This really is the final option.
Surely, please God, there has to be just one. Single. Solitary person out there in our great big World. Just one who has a Hewlett Packard C309a that really and truthfully, in perfect detail, PRINTS DIRECTLY TO A DVD!!!!!!!!! There has to be one, doesn't there? Otherwise HP wouldn't be allowed to even mention these pieces of rubbish?
The problem is of course, besides the obvious one I've already described here, is that the only consumers who come in to this HP Forum, are those with similar problems as myself and all they'll do is shake their heads, sigh deeply and say knowingly to themselves........... "I know exactly how the poor bugger feels"
Which is sad for me I guess because I guarantee NO ONE from HP will offer a solution to this that a) Works b) Doesn't require me to upgrade my whole system around there crap and c) Is just plain simple.
No, what I will get though are heaps of pop up messages asking me to fill in a form. I'll get pop up requests from HP every single bloody time I turn on my computer asking if I want to do a daily update, even though I specifically checked the NO DAILY UPDATES box during setup.
*sigh* I'm bone weary of all this, I really am, I just want a quiet life and to be able to print with a machine that says 'Printer' on the side of it. Either that HP or give me my money back, plus the cost of extra ink, plus my lost hours and the cost of the valium I'm now taking.
GOD **bleep** YOU HEWLETT PACKARD!!! GOD **bleep** YOU ALL TO HELL!!!!!
(Apologies to Charlton Heston)
Footnote
I had to add this because it's just so funny and typical of HP. Even the daft Spell Checker on here wanted to replace C309a with Acacia BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Hi I now have the same problem having downloaded Windows 7. This is the only option that will not work. Everything was fine on Vuse. I telephoned a help line number that HP gave, it was a tech doc, I paid £21 and was told to install new version of HP Photosmart, which I did, and guess what!! yes you've guessed correctly there is nothing on the Photosmart for dvd/cd covers or direct printing to dvd/cd. The only one that does that one that does that is photosmart 3.5. HP are very unhelpful and Microsoft as usual to not talk to other manufacturers when designing their Windows.
If any one out there knows how to solve this problem please help.
The only solution I have is that I use my laptop which still has Vuse on it, and I use that to print by wireless onto the printer for DVD's etc. Not very satisfactory but at least it solves the problem.
