HP 8625 picks up multiple sheets when printing

I've become increasingly frustrated by the paper handling of this printer, and I'm on the verge of returning it to Costco.  I usually print in duplex, draft quality, using 22 lb paper.  Too often, the printer will feed two pages at once, so that the back side of a page prints on a separate page.  Also, it will often pick up multiple sheets (more than two sheets) at the same time so that a bit of print is at the tops of a couple of pages while the bulk of it is on another sheet.  
I've tried working with the paper width adjustment, but it doesn't seem to be possible to set it for the proper tension to avoid multiple feeds.
I'm open to suggestions.

@sr_arizona, Welcome to the HP Community!
I have some suggestions for you in regards to the issues you're having with duplex printing on 22lb paper, from your Officejet 8625. I have two links for you down below I'd like you to go through. Try all of the steps that you may not have attempted yet to see if they can help this "feed issue". I have a few additional ideas of my own to add as well. If these steps do not help at all, I would lastly suggest calling HP directly to see about a replacement unit!
An ADF Paper Jam Error Displays on the HP Officejet Pro 8610, 8620, 8630, 8640, and 8660 e-All-in-On...
An 'Out of Paper' Message Displays and the Printer Does Not Pick Up Paper for the HP Officejet Pro 8...
Tip: After resetting the printer, make sure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and can help a feed issue.
You can try running the Print and Scan Doctor from your PC. This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there was a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results.
Try Uninstalling the Printer Software, and reinstalling the Full Feature Driver here: HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers
Try printing from different programs is important too. If you find that one program will not print as you wish with all print settings selected correctly however, other programs print without any issue, the program itself could have a glitch causing the issue and that sole program should be troubleshot.
Let me know what happens and we will go from there depending on the results after troubleshooting!

  • Photosmart 8150 Picking Up Multiple Sheets Of Paper

    When printing, my printer makes a 'chunk' noise, then picks up multiple sheets of paper.  It was fine until a few days ago.  I haven't done anything to it, nor have there been any paper jams, etc.  I don't know if the noise and multiple paper pick up are related, but they started at the same time.  Any suggestions?

    I have this problem, too.
    When I try to print photos, it picks up 2 sheets and partially prints on both.
    Then I have a piece of regular paper AND a piece of photo paper ruined.

  • Why does a mail-merge in MS Publisher split into multiple files when printed as a pdf file?

    Why does a mail-merge in MS Publisher split into multiple files when printed as a pdf file?

    'Cuz that's what mail merges do.  They create multiple documents based on the parent doc and all the names/addresses in your data tables.
    Perhaps if you describe exactly what you're trying to do & why you need PDF, we can point you to relevant tutorials.

  • My Officejet Pro 8000 wireless printer prints to only 4x5" on 8x11 sheet when printing mult pages

    My Officejet Pro 8000 wireless prints to only 4x5 inches on the 8x11 sheet when I try to print multiple pages per sheet from an Adobe file.  The print preview shows the paper dimensions to be 8x11, and the four Adobe pages are properly scaled to fill the 8x11 printed sheet, yet when printing, all the printing is condensed to the upper left quarter of the sheet.

    What did it? I was still trying to figure it out

  • 8620 all-in-one picking up multiple sheets

    This is a new printer, a 8620 all-in-one.  It  has a bad habit of pulling a second sheet through the feeder along with the sheet to print.  This occurs with standard 20lb stock and HP photo paper.  Any recommendations?

    I just purchased an 8620 and have the same problem.  Every time I print more than a couple of pages, there will be at least one page that picks up 2 (or sometimes 3!) sheets of paper.  I have tried fanning - doesn't help.  My house is not humid.  Is there anything else to try?  Do I maybe have a defective printer?  My previous all-in-one Lexmark printer never had this problem.  Please help - this is more than just a little frustrating!

  • C309g-m pulling multiple blank sheets when printing

    I have a C309g-m that I bought last fall. Beginning several days ago (after a paper jam that I cleared), it has started pulling multiple blank sheets for each printed page. For example, today I printed one e-mail and one web page (both were single pages), and each was followed by 8 blank sheets. The sheets can be reused of course but something clearly isn't right.
    Could the jam have knocked something out of alignment?  What do I need to do to correct this?
    Update: has nobody else seen this behavior? HP support staff - please give me some suggestions and if they resolve the problem I'll post the results here.

  • How to fill 8.5 x 11 sheet when printing PDF in Print View Mode

    I need to print portions of a PDF file (converted from a 24 x 36 drawing sheet file) so that it prints on a 8.5 x  11 sheet of paper to some architectural scale (i.e. 1/8" = 1 foot). On the old (4:3) LCD monitor this was not a problem...I would select a zoom scale to fill the sheet as much as possible and print in landscape orientation, and that would fill the sheet with a printed portion of a drawing to a scale as large as possible and still be readable ( I am trying to get as much of the 24 x 36 original on one 8.5 x 11 as possible).
    However with my new laptop and its widescreen (16:9) display, doing this leaves a substantial amount of sheet blank, and I am forced to do a work-around by connecting the old monitor to the laptop.
    Is there a solution to this?

    You don't select a page size when exporting to PDF, but you can add the crop marks in the export dialog.
    Acrobat and Reader will both automatically center the PDF when it is printed, but it's up to the print shop what size paper they use. Make sure they don't scale the print to fit the sheet.

  • AirPrint creates multiple copies when printing just one...

    It's driving me mad. I have a HP1217nfw, AirPrint works, but when I try to print one copy, it prints out multiple copies, leaving me scrabbling for the Cancel button and doing everything to cancel the multiple prints it churns out regardless. This leads to me hitting the printers Off button as the only way of stopping things, which then causes a paper jam.
    Any ideas? I have updated to the latest firmware for the printer, but it's made no difference either from my new iPad Mini Retina or the iPad 2.
    David

    Many thanks to you 'both'   Yes, I had the old version of the firmware which was updated and now has fixed the issue.
    I rang HP tech support about a problem with 10.8 OSX drivers and they told me the printer is no longer supported. Its just over a year old.....
    I could not get any of the drivers to install, then found on another forum that the issue was fixed by installing 10.7 drivers. All is now well, but thanks for this, I was going round in circles.

  • Avoiding multiple renders when printing to tape

    I'm currently using FCEHD 3.5 and working in HDV. When I print to tape in HDV, it can take quite a bit of time for FCE to render the file it is going to output to the tape.
    If I wanted to create multiple tapes of the same file, is there a way to avoid rendering each time before I print?
    In other words, can I export/render the movie once, then print the exported file to tape? If so, how?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Yes, alas HDV needs rendering each time when you "print to tape" .
    That's because FCE process HDV by converting it to "Apple Intermediate Codec" upon capturing (the same thing for iMovie HD), and printing to tape needs the reverse process: converting from Apple intermediate Codec to HDV (mpeg 2 in reality, with GOP-group of images- at each .5 second).
    Final Cut Pro can read and print HDV natively.
    Give a look to:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=493862&tstart=0
    One workaround for your needs, is to connect 2 HDV camcorders together and record from one to another.

  • Pixma MX922 pulling in multiple pages when printing

    MX922 - couple weeks old. Has been functioning fine in excellent photo printing.
    But, when page printing on premium grade paper ( 20 or 24lb) the printer has the very annoying tendency to grab up 2 or more pages at the same time.
    Paper is fanned ( fluffed up) before inserting into the tray and squared up
    Paper tray is properly adjusted.
    Tray is properly inserted.
    Will print fine and then will drag in 2 or more pages in. Print a couple fine and then 3 pages get drawn in. I pull out the tray and check the paper and I see no issues. Have removed the paper and fan it and hope for the best.
    This is really annoying when doing duplex printing let alone on single sided.
    I have now tried this with 3 different brands of name brand paper.
    Scanned this forum and haven't seen any similar reports.
    Just ocurred again when trying to print 17 pages 2 paged and 3 pieces were drawn in.
    Suggestions?  Ideas?
    A great printer otherwise.

    Hi chips,
    Is your paper measured in g/m2?  If so, we recommend the paper be between 64 to 105 g/m2. This measurement is much more reliable for determining your paper compatibility (especially with thicker paper).  Additionally, it may help to perform a roller cleaning on your printer.  For more information on this process, please review the following article from our Knowledge Base: Cleaning the Paper Feed Roller - MX922.

  • Pick from multiple rooms, when creating recurring meeting

    Say I have a recurring Tuesday 10-11AM meeting I want to book in Outlook for the next year.  I would like to book it in the room "Shasta", because it has the best teleconference equipment, but it's not a deal-breaker if I have to
    be in anther conference room..
    But it turns out that next month on August 18th, Susan has already booked Shasta in the same timeslot, causing a resource conflict with "Shasta.  Even if this is the only conflict, my entire meeting series gets declined.
    My options at this point are grim.  I can partition my recurring meeting into a pre-August 18th partition, and a post-August 18th partition, with a third single instance on August 18th in some room other than Shasta.  My attendees have
    to suffer 3 invites.  There are also some other really painful things i can do to book the meeting, such as manually booking each of the 52 instances etc.
    Bottom line is, I shouldn't have to spend 1-2 hours booking a meeting, and confusing my attendees with a half-dozen Meeting Update notifications due to room changes.
    Is there an after-market utility or some trick I can use to say:
    "Book a recurring weekly Tuesday meeting from 10-11AM, 52 instances. My first room choice is Shasta, my second room choice is Alps, third room choice is Morgue, fourth room choice is Eiger."
    And it will figure out the rooms for me?
    Thanks very much for your time.
    -Jeff
    ps: For now, don't worry about platform or version of Outlook.  I'm open to all ppossibilities  I use Outlook for Mac.  It's lacking in feature parity,
    much like Office for Mac, so I book my meetings and organize distro lists through Outlook Web Access, and I also have a VMWare instance of Windows running for when I need some functionality that is only available in the Windows version of Outlook.

    Hi Jeff,
    In Outlook side, if there are any conflicts in your recurring meeting, we can pick out the conflicts then open just this one instance of recurring meeting, change the location to another room, and send updates to all attendees.
    After changing locations for all conflicts meeting one by one and the changed rooms also have accepted all updates, the organizer can open the entire series of recurring meeting in Calendar and send updates to all attendees without change anything. Now,
    there should be no conflicts and the recurring meeting should be accepted by the room mailbox.
    Additionally, this scenario which the behavior of the
    Resource Booking Attendant may seem confusing when it comes to processing a recurring meeting request where individual recurrences conflict with existing calendar items can be managed by calendar processing settings in Exchange server side. The Exchange
    administrator can use
    Set-CalendarProcessing in Exchange 2010 to allow recurring meeting conflicts and set Max conflict instances. For more information about it, please refer to:

  • Multiple copies when printing

    When I print from my account the default setting for number of copies is 4, no matter which software I am using.
    When I switch to another account the default setting is one copy.
    Does anyone know how to change the default number of copies?
    Thanks
    Dave

    Are you using any presets? There doesn't seem to be a way to default the number of copies other than by using a preset. You could throw away com.apple.print.PrintingPrefs and any preset preference files in your home's Preferences folder.

  • How to subscribe the report into one excel multiple sheets in ssrs

    Hi Team,
    I have a requirement where i pull my report in one excel with multiple sheets,

    2.Is it possible to subscribe the two reports in one excel with mulitiple sheets.i need this also.

    am using sql server 2008R2 sql server edition.
    pls help me out for this

    Hi Ychinnari,
    According to your description, you want to perform subscription for one report or two reports into multiple sheets within a Excel file.
    In Reporting Services, when we add a page break within the report, those pages will be exported into separated sheets in Excel.
    For first requirement, subscribe one report into multiple sheets in one Excel file. We can add a page break within a group, then the report will display on multiple sheets when subscribe into Excel format.
    For second requirement, subscribe one report into multiple sheets in one Excel file. You can add one report as a subreport into the main report, then add pagebreak between main report and subreport.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
