How to AirPrint from Tray 2 on HP 8500

I have an HP 8500A Premium A910 with two trays. I have selected tray 2 as my default because I keep #10 envelopes in tray 1 (the only tray in which they will fit).
When I use Printopia to print from my iPhone via my home network the printer properly defaults to tray 2. However, when my computer is off and I use AirPrint, the printer attempts to print from tray 1, senses a paper size mismatch and fails.
How can I use Airprint to print from tray 2?
Thankyou.

I can tell you that it is possible to print to tray 2 because I believe I just did it. I put plain paper in tray 1 (instead of my photo paper!) and wrote Tray 1 on the paper. Then I told the phone to print a piece of email and it found the printer! (thanks to downloading the firmware as instructed) and then it queued the thing to the printer and printed it double-sided! on paper from tray 2. So it is possible.
What I think is that you need to go deeply into the printer's default settings and just hand set it to use Tray 2 as the main tray. I remember that there was something screwy about the handoff between the print driver and the printer about what the default tray was. I vaguely remember finding the printer had set itself to Tray 1 as the default. Maybe because I installed Tray 2 after doing the initial setup? No idea. No memory of details. What I remember was my surprise in going through all the settings to find that the default tray wasn't what I thought it was.
So to summarize. Yes, Airprint works to tray 2 on the 8500A. Check the printer's default tray settings for inconsistent values.

How do i airprint from safari...can't see any icon

How do i airprint from safari...can't see any icon or any mechanism, mail is ok though.
Thanks

AirPrint is a feature built into the iOS. If the app that you are working in or using has the boxed curved arrow icon at the top - should allow you to print. However, in order to use AirPrint, you must have one of the AirPrint compatible printers.
The printers with this feature are listed on this web site.
http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/airprint.html
If you do not own one of these printers, there are a number of third party apps that will allow you to print using your current printer. You may need to download a helper app on your computer and leave your computer turned on in order to use them.

Officejet Pro 8500 Premier: How do I force the Copy function to use paper from Tray 2?

I set the default tray to Tray 2 and locked Tray 1 to protect my envelopes and this works fine when printing from the computer. But when I copy a document using the START COPY button, the printer pulls from Tray 1 and complains about the media being the wrong size.
When I use the printers control panel to set the Copy function to use Tray 2, it resets itself to Tray 1 the next time I copy something.
Surely I am not the only one in the Universe who would want to configure my printer to do this.
Has anyone else out there tried this?
Also, is there a specific forum for the Officejet Pro 8500 series printers?

Hi
Hope you're still checking this
I had the same problem but found that if you go to the copy menu through the touchscreen, change the tray to tray 2 and then scroll to the very bottom there is an option to "Set as new default". This also changes the default for the Start Copy buttons - at least it did for me anyway.
Good luck

How to print from iPhone 3GS with OS 4.2.1?

Hello,
I have searched and read through the discussion forums, but I'm not sure I understand how to print from my iPhone.
In reading the manual for the iPhone 3GS, specifically on page 44, it says the following:
AirPrint uses your Wi-Fi network to send print jobs wirelessly to your printer. iPhone must be connected to the same wireless network as the AirPrint printer.
My HP printer (Officejet Pro L7555) is plugged into my Airport Express so that I can do wireless printing. (I am also using an Airport Extreme for the WiFi network in my house).
When I have, for example, an email on my iPhone that I am reading, if I tap the "reply" button, I do see the "Print" option appear. When I tap on "Print", it brings up a screen where it says, "Select Printer". I then tap on that, and it will then say, "Looking for Printers".
The final outcome is "No Printers Found".
Since I am following the instructions on wireless printing as found on page 44 of the iPhone 3GS handbook (with OS 4.2.1 software), I'm not sure what it is that I'm doing wrong. I can print wirelessly with my iMac and my MacBook Pro to my HP printer just fine. Everything in my home is on the same network (my iPhone, iMac, iTouch, and MacBook Pro) that the printer is on.
I'm sure I'm missing a big chunk of the puzzle somewhere that the manual is missing. Can someone please let me know what additional steps I must take in order to print from my iPhone 3GS while I am at home on my own network?
Thank you very much.

From one Andy to another Andy (LOL):
Okay, thank you for the information. I even searched the Store web page before asking my question, and somehow missed this.
Well, I'm not about to go and buy ANOTHER Apple toy just to print from my iPhone. For now, I think I can stick to the old-fashioned way and just forward it to myself so that I can print it from the iMac. I just got Apple TV a few days ago, so I'll have to wait a little bit for the next toy.
Thank you very much for the prompt answer.

HP Officejet Pro 8630 won't print from tray 2; says there's no paper

Action: Print from tray 2.
Expected Results: Paper feeds from tray 2 and prints.
Actual Results: Printer displays "out of paper" dialog.
Notes: Ever since I purchased the Officejet Pro 8630 six or eight months ago, tray 2 has not functioned. It says there's no paper in that tray. I've tried multiple types of letter sized paper. I've inspected the bottom of the main printer unit and the top of tray 2 for signs of damage; there doesn't seem to be any.
Tray 1 works just fine. It's actually a fantastic printer. The best I've owned. If only Tray 2 would work.

CP1525 Cannot print Size #10 envelope from Tray #1 it always feeds from Tray #2

Using Windows 7 and MS Word 2007 to print a size 10 envelop using manual feed from Tray#1
I used the options for printing and selected Manual Feed Tray#1
However the CP1525 just feeds a sheet of paper from Tray #2 !
How to I force the printer to take whats' in Tray #1 ?

I called HP Tech support and they had me try many settings.
it did manage to print 1 envelope and I figured that the problem was solved.
However HP Tech. Support said "don't jump for joy just yet" best try to print a second envelop.
I tried a second envelop and it did not print it just tok a sheet fomr Tray #2 !
On reflection HP Tech. support telling me not to jump for joy.... They must have known there is an issue with this printer.
I installed the HP driver onto a laptop and tried again, and got the same results.
This printer or printer driver is broken. !
Back to the store and get rid of it.

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.

OfficeJet 8600 Premium - Faxes Only Printing from Tray 2

I'm running into an issue with an OfficeJet 8600 Premium on OS X (Lion), but this shouldn't be OS specific.
It appears that incoming faxes are requiring tray 2, even though the default tray is set to 1 and the media lock is off. The printer reports that it's out of paper, even though Tray 1 is full.
I've removed the lower tray assy, checked the paper size settings within the trays, set the default to 2 and back to 1, set the media lock on 2 with the default on 1, rebooted the printer and computer, but nothing seems to make a change in how incoming faxes are printed.
I am successfully able to print from tray 1 with normal print jobs. For some reason, the fax portion of the printer just defaults to tray 2, and I can't find where I can reset that to tray 1...or to follow the defaults of the machine.
Any thoughts?

so you are telling me the default is tray2 only and the software does not allow you to choose like ALL prior hp!!!! This is the dumbest software i have ever seen...i have stuggled with this for over a year to only hear that hp decided what i should do!!!! all my programs select tray 1 for regular paper and tray 2 for medical claims! yes it is used for two different types of paper....i do not want to change hundreds of documents because hp decided where i should default print and fax from! is there a fix to allow me the user to select where i would like things printed from....thanks....how stupid are you hp!!!! why would you take away choices so basic as to where a fax is printed from.....

I have an MFC J410W Brother's printer, and I need instructions on how to print from my IPAD 4.

I need to know how to print from my IPAD 4 on my MFC J410W Brother's printer.

Printing from an iPad or iPhone
To print directly from an iPad you need an AirPrint - enabled printer on the same wireless network as the iPad. All AirPrint printers are wireless but not all wireless printers are AirPrint-enabled. Your Brother MFC-J410W is not an AirPrint printer.
If you do not have an AirPrint printer, a number of workarounds exist that enable the use of any printer you normally use, even older ones that may predate AirPrint by decades. Search for the following products:
handyPrint (Mac only, donation-supported)
Printopia (Mac only, $19.95 with free trial)
These are utilities you install on the Mac you normally use for printing, enabling it to act as an AirPrint print server. The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work. The iPad needs nothing else, no iOS apps need to be installed and no configuration is necessary. If your computer can print, so can the iPad, using one of these utilities on your Mac.
Equivalent utilities may exist for PCs but I have no experience with them - I suggest https://www.collobos.com
You can also buy this standalone hardware print server, bypassing the need for a computer altogether:
http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/xprintserver/xprintserver.html
Otherwise you will need to buy an AirPrint printer or multifunction device.
The following are my recommendations
AirPrint compatible Brother laser devices
and
AirPrint compatible Brother inkjet devices
Read the reviews and choose wisely.

2. Open something you want to print (on the iPad/iPhone).

If you have any issues with printing, below are some steps that should help you out!
1. Power off the printer.
2. Completely power off the iOS devices (hold the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously until a message appears asking you to "Slide to power off". Slide across that bar, and it should completely power off).
3. Power the printer back on.
4. Power the iOS devices back on.
