Have a HP Laserjet 1200 How do I reduce printed label to 90% of original

I am printing labels how do I reduce the printed label to 90% of original.
I had a Laserjet 4 but it went kaput, and a friend gave me the 1200.
The LJ4 let me reduce to any percentage when I clicked print.
there was a tab that you could click on to reduce or enlarge.
there is not one for the LJ 1200
Thank you in advance

Hi,
Please reduce DPI for for scanned documents. From 300dpi to 100pdi will reduce file size a lot
Regards.

Getting unknown error when printing with latest version(using HP Laserjet 1200). I can't print at all using this version. Able to print previously.

I ceased to be able to print when the latest version of FireFox was
downloaded. I can print from the same websites using I. E.
My printer is a HP Laserjet 1200 series. I only get the error(an unknown error occurred while printing) when trying to print through FireFox. I can print email fine and any other instance as long as I'm not going through FireFox.

Hello Josh,
We are using a couple of EFI (Fiery) controllers with our Canon copiers and I have been told by Canon support that we need to be using the MacTel (Universal Binary) versions of drivers for Leopard. Luckily for us we have mostly new models of RIPs and the UB drivers exist for these models, but I know that they are not available for all models, which I believe includes your X3e.
To determine if you have a driver or RIP issue, you could save the file as either PS or PDF and then use the EFI utilities, such as Command Workstation, to import the file to the RIP (select Process and Hold) and then see if you can print your multiple copies that way. If that works then you know that the RIP is probably okay.
The next test would be to create a generic PS queue to the X3e and print using this queue. If this works then you can narrow your issue down to the driver.

HP Laserjet 2100TN - how to add IP printer in Snow Leopard

I am not a very technical person, so this was quite an ordeal for me. I was very frustrated by the process and almost gave up. I am glad that I did not
I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and after many hours of reading blogs and instructions etc. I finally got my HP LaserJet 2100TN network printer to print in SnowLeopard. I am running a 24" imac.
All of the blogs/support documents tell you that you have to enter the IP address of the printer to set up an IP printer. To obtain the IP address for the printer, you are told to print a Configuration Page. But I had no idea how to do that. So I found a manual online for my printer, learned that if I pressed the Job Cancel and the Go button at the same time that I would print a configuration page. And it did !!!! It was listed under Printer Informations as HP JetSend Address: ip: 192.xx.x.xx. (I left out my IP address as yours will be different.) I then used the Network application located under Utilities, went to PING, entered the IP address and I pinged the printer. The ping was successful. Then I used the instructions provided at the link below to add the IP printer. Here is the info for the add printer info: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4507.
Here is the link for the LaserJet 2100 manual.

Good luck.

Many, many thanks. This worked for me.
My HP 2100TN is connected to a router and pinging the JetDirect ip address didn't work at first. After many tries and variations under "Print & Scan" sys prefs, the ping did work with the JetDirect ip address and I finished connecting by following your helpful instructions and links.
The HP 2100TN now prints from OSX 10.8.5 on a "late 2012" 27-inch iMac. The HP 2100TN printer drivers were copied to the sys printer folder from a previous computer running OSX 10.5.8 and which always printed sucessfully through this same router to the 2100TN and still does.
An even worse problem was trying to log into Apple Support Communities with the "username" endless runaround. I finally got to a "Find my Apple ID" link and discovered I had an old Apple ID which I didn't know still existed. I changed the password on that ID and then logged into ASC using the old ID. The login took me straight into the forum and displayed my old and long-forgotten ASC username for that ID. Why that worked, who knows?

How can I reinstall printer software only from the original install disks?

my imac 17" printer software got corrupted and I can't use my new printer. Is there a way to just install all the original printer software from my original disks that came with the mac? I have updated all the software on the mac and don't want to go back to the old panther disk.
or is there an apple download site that has just the printer software.
thanks

Insert your original disk and look for additional software, the printers should be somewhere there. Your other option is to get [Pacifist|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12743] and use it to extract the printer data from the install package.

How do I connect a network printer to ipad 3. I have a HP LaserJet P2035n. It is a network printer. Not Wireless.

How do I connect a network printer to ipad 3. I have a wireless router on my LAN. I have a HP LaserJet P2035n which is a network printer and it is connected to the LAN. The printer is not on the AirPrint list. The printer is not wireless.

Hello,
I am using a Mac with this router. Any ideas how I can set it up to print wireless. Im not a tech person so this gets confusing for me sometimes.
Thanks!

HP LaserJet 1200 with "undefined" error

Hi -
I have an HP LaserJet 1200 attached to my home network off an HP JetDirect 175 (I think). I can print fine - after the Leopard installation, the settings didn't transfer, but I was able to add a printer and it found the driver.
I'm using an iMac which is wireless (as was the case in the Tiger days), and the printer communicates via AppleTalk. The printer is shared with another G4 iMac and a PC laptop - both wireless, and both print fine.
The problem I have is that, after each successful print, I have an extra page that says:
ERROR: undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND: D
STACK:
Any idea what this means, and how to fix it? I've never had this before Leopard.
Thanks!
Steve

Hi. I had this exact problem with my HP Laserjet 2300d right after I installed OS 10.5. I tried installing an update to the HP drivers that is available for 10.5 with no success. As well, I didn't try the Gutenprint option because it just didn't make sense to me that the HP drivers alone were faulty. Anyways, what fixed it for me was the "Installed options" setting. This can be accessed by going into the "Print and Fax" preference panel. When you select the printer, click on "Options and Supplies". In my case, my printer is a duplex enabled printer, but under the "Driver" panel, the "Duplex Unit" setting was not selected as one of the installed options. I clicked the checkbox for that feature and now it prints perfectly fine without any error page. Perhaps the problem is the opposite for the Laserjet 1200 users: their printers are not duplex-enabled, but the duplex option is selected, generating an error whenever the computer negotiates a connection with the printer.
I hope this helps, otherwise my getting and resolving this error is just an odd coincidence.

HP LaserJet 1200 Series- Spaces appearing in words of printed document

I have an HP LaserJet 1200 series printer. All of a sudden blank spaces began appearing in the footnotes of a document. For example, "supra" printed as "s upra" numerous times in a row, "in" printed as "i n", and "whether" printed as "whether r". The spaces do not appear on the computer screen. I just attached another printer and the spaces disappeared. Is there a way to fix my HP LaserJet 1200 series printer? Thanks for any help!

Hello eaw,
The HP LaserJet 1200 is a commercial printer. For a better chance at finding a solution, I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support.

HP Laserjet 1200 replaced toner & yellow light flashes

Hi! I have a HP Laserjet 1200 which printed with smudges and ghost text a few lines down. In an attempt to correct this, I installed a new toner cartridge. I had difficulty opening the toner door completely; it stuck about half-way opened. I opened the left and right panels to see if I could loosen the old cartridge, and something snapped (probably a plastic clip) when I forced the right panel open. Opening the panels didn't help, and I closed them. Eventually, after applying some pressure, I opened the toner door all of the way and replaced the toner. Now the printer doesn't work. The yellow light just flashes. Replacing the old toner cartridge doesn't help. I still have the same blinking yellow light problem. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

I unplugged the electrical plug before (no off switch) but I guess for not long enough. Did it again and left it unplugged for awhile when I went to the store. Just plugged in and the memory has let go like you said. All's well now. Thanks.

HP OfficeJet gx85i and HP Laserjet 1200

I have a friend of mine who just bought a mac mini to be a file/print/backup server for his home network.
He has three printers plugged into the mini, an hp officejet gx85i, and hp laserjet 1200, and an hp photosmart printer.
Both the laserjet and the photosmart function fine without any additional software on the mini.
But, when I installed the gx85i software, the 1200 works sometimes -- meaning I have to unplug the 1200, remove it's configuration from the "print and fax" preference pane and plug the USB printer back in to get the printer to work again.
Anyone have similar problems or ideas for a fix?
Thanks,
Kenny

and it may be the g85xi.
i'm not near it atm.

Custom page sized paper in a LaserJet 1200

I'm running Window 7 and printing to an HP LaserJet 1200. I need to print on the inside of 5 1/2 (w) x 8 1/2 thank you note. I created a custom size. I've changed the setting to set "center" as where the paper comes from. I'm feeding it thru the envelope feeder or putting the thank you's in the paper tray, centering it with the guides. It prints the text on the left of the paper. Help.

Set your paper size as a custom size:
1. Open the Pages doc
2. Press shift+ ⌘ +p to open the page setup
3. In the 'settings' pull down menu choose 'custom paper size'
4. Click on the new button and create your custom size and save by pressing o.k
5. Now your custom size will appear in every page set up dialogue.
For my two printers this is all I have to do. The printers adopt the page set up selected in Pages.

Laserjet 1200 will not stop running.

I have a LaserJet 1200 as a back up printer. It gets used once or twice a month and therefore is in great condition.
This morning when I turned it on it started running and just won't stop!
Any ideas why?
Moly

The "Incoming Call" message is shown whenever we see a ring signal on the line, regardless of the fax receive mode.
If this message is showing up when no fax is being sent, then it means that there is noise on the phone line. You can contact your phone company to discuss options in reducing the noise on your phone line.
If this message is showing up with no phone line plugged in, then the modem inside the printer is detecting noise. It is possible that the internal fax parameters have become corrupt. If that is the case, then you can perform a "Restore Defaults" in order to reset them. Note: doing this will erase all of your settings. You can print out a configuration report before doing this so you can reset them. A restore can be done at the control panel by pressing [Setup] on the main screen (the button with the wrench on it), then select "Service" and then "Restore Defaults."
This is based on my own experience with the product.

HP LaserJet Pro 200 m251 won't print PDF

I have an HP Laserjet Pro 200 that will not print PDFs. The documents get stuck in the print queue and I have to delete them and restart the printer. I have reinstalled the driver and updates and reinstalled Adobe Reader and updates. Called HP and they told me to contact ADobe, but I can't find a number.

I posted this on another discussion. But here it is again.
One of the things I have experienced in the past with printing PDFs is that it would hang in the print queue. There is a manual method of deleting the print documents in the print queue. But the issue is printing PDF documents that are scanned in and has maybe highlighted text or handwritten notes on the PDF. The printer driver can render it correctly if printing the PDF as a text document. What you have to do is change it so that it prints as a PDF image instead.
To print as an image, open the PDF then click File then click Print. Click the Advanced button on the following window that pops up and select the check box "Print as image".
Now to clear your print queue will be key prior to doing this if the print job is hung in the print queue.
Here is a Microsoft KB Article that explains how to do this. I think it has an available Microsoft Fixit tool you can use as well.

TA21087 Link to how to keep Mac printer sharing on, please?

This must have been answered many times: How to keep Mac printer sharing on?
Brother MCF-7340 drivers have been installed from original DVD.
Turning on printer sharing remains easy. But sharing goes away by itself.

Dr. S-
The iPad uses AirPrint for printing. AirPrint uses Bonjour data. Some WiFi routers do not handle Bonjour data correctly.
Two options:
1. New WiFi router. Apple's AirPorts and Time Capsules are known to work. My Cradlepoint MBR900 works. There are others, but I do not know of any compatibility list.
2. iPad App such as Print n Share.
(The option to run a program on your desktop computer that will share the printer over WiFi, may also require the router to pass Bonjour data correctly.)

HT3669 I have a HP Laserjet M1120 but I don´t know how to scan. Can you help me?

I have a HP Laserjet M1120 but I don´t know how to scan. Can you help me?

Your Model apparently needs to use Apple's "Print & Scan" which is found in Applications>System Preferences>"Print & Scan". There you will follow the following instructions from the HP Support site to Scan, for instance:
Place the item that you want to scan on the scanner glass, or load it into the automatic document feeder (ADF) if your printer has one.
Click the Apple menu (# ), and then click System Preferences .
Click Print & Scan (# ).
Click your printer in the left pane.
Click Scan , and then click Open Scanner .
Click Show Details . The details of the scan display, including options to change scan settings.Figure 4: Example of the Show Details scanning screen#
Change any scan settings as necessary, and then click Scan .NOTE: Make sure to select either the Flatbed mode or the Document Feedermode, depending on your printer and how you plan to scan.
Hope this helps
