HP 8750 not always printing

I have had an HP Photosmart 8750 printer for a few years now. Until recently it has been a great printer for me.
Recently I am having problems printing some documents, they either print very lightly or not at all. When I print a test page it prints fine. The documents are all from various areas, e-mail, microsoft word, on-line documents, etc
Sometimes they print ok but more often then not they do not print ot print very lightly. I have changed print cartridges, taken them out and reinstalled. Have cleaned the printer, etc. It prints pictures ok just not documents
Any suggestions?

I also noticed there is a Firmware Upgrade Utility out on HP.COM that addresses a few PJL command issues, so it might be worth checking the Firmware versions on your units to see if you have the latest:

Though I work for HP, My posts express MY opinion, and not those of HP.

My Adobe Acrobat does not always print from Illustrator. This is very time-consuming to have contin

My Adobe Acrobat does not always print from Illustrator. This is very time-consuming to have continuous problems that are obviously software based. I have no issues with Illustrator, but we communicate on this campus via low res PDF files as proofs for approval. Acrobat gives me no reasons why it does not want to print, it just says it can not print the file. Fonts are NOT and issue here. It will created a high res Illustrator PDF file but I can not print a low res PDF file.

This usually happens when you introduce a specific dependency like trying to resample certain placed image types and things like color profile conversions fail. Also stripping native AI data to reduce file size may cause this. Generally it is not recommended to print to PDF from apps that have native PDF saving functionality, anyway. You can just as well get the same result using AI's Save As feature.

Identity plate printing issue - not ALWAYS printing

I use Lightroom heavily for printing onsite at events. Specifically, I have a template set up for printing 16 shots per 8.5x11 so that I can cut them up into 4 vertical strips (ie. Photobooth strips). I have an identity plate set up so that each strip will have a logo at the bottom. With hundreds of people coming through, I have a workflow where I simply choose 16 shots (or multiples of 16) in the print module and start the print job. It works well for me 97% of the time.
The issue arises when, for whatever random reason, a sheet will come out of the printer and the identity plate wasn't printed! In other words, I have 4 strips that don't have a logo on them. Its not that I'm not checking the option for printing the identity plate, I never touch the settings. In fact, there are times where I'll send a print job of several pages (ie. some multiple of 16 pictures) and most of the printouts will have the identity plate, but only one page is missing it.
This becomes an issue because in my workflow, the speed of printing is really the bottleneck. I'm constantly processing the new shots taken and sending them off to print. So when I get a printout that doesn't have the identity plate, I have to stop all the processing of the new, incoming pictures and wait until the printer finishes with the last job that was sent (which could be a while) and then put the errant sheet back in and print using the same Lightroom template on 16 white images so that it'll just print the identity plate.
At every event of 3-5 hours, this happens between 1 and 3 times and each time is enough to set me back a few minutes, which causes the people who just took their images to get antsy as their printouts become delayed. I generally like my workflow and I like using Lightroom to print (especially because I apply some presets to each image before printing), but this issue is driving me nuts. I'd just like it to do what's expected 100% of the time!
Has anyone had any experience with something like this? or point me in the right direction? I'm using Lightroom 1.4. Thank you!

Anyone have any experience with this? Is this something that contacting Adobe directly with would help?

How can I print ONE contact on an Avery label sheet and it not always print on the blank in the upper left?

How can I print ONE contact on an Avery label sheet and pick where the printer starts?

In Contacts, select the contact you want to print, then click -> File -> Print (or press Command-P), then Show Details. Next to Style, select Mailing Labels. In the tab Layout, choose the Avery type you need. In the tab Label, choose the content you want to print.

Printer settings menu does not always change when switching printers

I am running OS 10.3.9 and also seen this issue on a 10.4 machine. When switching from one printer to another the printer options drop down menu does not always transfer to the correct menu for the newly selected printer. It stays at the menu for the last used printer. I am using several different Sharp printers as well as some HP models. The applications being used are Office 10 Word and Power Point. If anyone has seen this and has a fix I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

I don't have a solution but have also noticed that the printer in the menu is sort of like spinning the wheel of fortune.
Hopefully there is a solution but my guess is that it has something to do with a printer preference file that can get hijacked by different printers and applications.
I have noticed that a printer driver when installed will usually appear as the default printer even if it was not selected as such. I have also notice that different applications will do different things with different printers so I hope someone has a solution.

My new hp photosmart printer 7510 will not print to photo paper always prints on regular paper tray

When I set the printer up , it printed a beautifl photo, now when I try to print a picture, I add in the print box 4x6 and photo paper, but it always prints on regular paper. how do I get it to print on the photo paper? I am using winows 7 and it is wireless

Lets try manually setting to the photo tray:
- Click the Start orb -> Click Devices/Printers
- Find and right click your printer -> Click Printer preferences
- Select the Paper/Quality Tab -> in the "select paper source" choose the photo tray
- Set the paper size (the next option down) accordingly
Let us know if it helps or not.
Best of Luck!

Why does New Report.vi not always minimize the document?

I’m using Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office to generate documents based on bookmarks in a template document. It works very well and I’m pleased with it. However, it usually (not always) opens up the template document and displays it while inserting the data in the various bookmarks. The process really slows down when this happens. The document is to automatically print to the default printer when the print button is clicked without opening up.
I’m using the New Report.vi with Window State set to Minimized, Report Type to Word and the template document’s path and file name sent to Template. All other settings are default.
After the bookmarks are inserted I use the Print Report, Dispose Report and Simple Error Handler vi’s. There are no errors displayed.
OS: XP-Pro
LV: v.7.1
Report Generation Toolkit: v.1.0.1
Word: Office 2003 (Office 2003 was installed before installing the Report Generation Toolkit.)
Thanks,

Attached is a sample of the printing vi along with a subvi for support. Also attached is a sample template. This vi is a much simplified version of what I'm using. However, it also opens up the Word template. It opens and closes very quickly, but it should not open at all. In my final program, it really chokes up when the template opens.
I hope you can find something about it.
It's not clear to me what is meant by "WindowState input of no change."
Thanks,
Dave J.

YOu have not provided any system info, version info or details about your printer. This is not going anywhere beyond stating the obvious - your system is not color managed.

I can using AirPrint from safari and email to my hp printer but do not get print as an option from the pulldown menu from the new york times and other apps. How can I print directly from these apps?

I can't seem to print directly from apps like the new York times. Print is not an option from the pulldown menu. Print to my hp printer works fine from safari and email though and from some other apps. Do some apps not permit printing? That doesn't right.

Thats funny. If go to ny times on safari therebis a print icon and no problem printing. On the app -- and I am a paid subscriber -- no print option ...
You can ask the NY Times why not.
Standard behavior is that Airprint always works with iBooks, Mail, Photos, and Safari. Apps are up to their author.

HP LaserJet P2055dn that is on the network doesnt always print all pages in print job

We have 4 of these printers on our network. It is very sporadic but when users print they do not always get all of the pages from the print job. Sometimes the additional pages will come 30 - 40 minutes after print job was processed sometimes they don't ever come. I have watched the print jobs go to the print server and then to the local print queue and it looks like everything prints although there are sometimes these lingering pages that do not come out (or come out at a later time). There are not other documents being printed at the time so that is not the issue. Has anyone else seen this? Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

oh, my! That was so long ago. But, if i recall correctly, when i pulled off the top of the printer, there was a very small wire with a plastic connector on the end that had pulled appart when i removed the top. I probably had to use tweezers in order to reconnect it. sorry for the foggy details, but that is what resides upstairs these days! good luck.

Pages always prints envelopes upside down

When using Pages to print envelopes, my HP laserjet always prints the envelope upside down. Apple and HP indicate I shoudl feed the envelopes with the top to the right. This works properly with everyother piece of software I have used
I know, when I use Pages I could just change the orientation of the envelope in the envelope feed slot, or check "reverse page orientation" in the Print dialog (so the envelope is upside down in the print preview.) But I'd prefer not to have to remember random procedures to accomodate software malfunctions. Is there some preference I can set in Pages (or something) to fix this so it works correctly?
PS.I hate to post this as a question, but the Apple Support Communities (SW platform, not the people ) has sort of forces this.
Why in the world does it present "Ask a question" as the main option. Initially I skipped that, but the community search funcion really *****. Searching is incredibly non-intuitive and poorly targeted (If I'm in the pages section why is it giving me totally unrelated results from unrelated sections?
Get on the ball Apple. You broke the "Support Communities" website and the OS X built in "Help Center" years ago, and still haven''t fixed them.
Thank God for all the helpful Mac users out there, because Apple's help and support efforts (Help platforms, manuals, etc.) seem to have fallen by the wayside.

Hi John,
No help on your actual question, but some comments on the search function here.
Search offers the choice of limiting the searsch to a specific community/forum when the first results are presented. You can also limit the search to a specific user.
The basic search is a keyword search, and turns up any post that has that keyword in it (with some weighting added by then software). Searches search for "Any" of the terms included in the query unless you limit the results using commands such as AND or NEAR. Not all that intuitive, I'll agree.
One other feature of the ASC site is the 'related' topics list, "More Like This," that appears after you've submitted a query. You'll find the list to the right of the message(s) in the community. A click opn the (green) checked items will often provide a solution to your(well described) issue.
None marked 'solved' on the list at this time, but some worth exploring for hints or a solution.
Regards,
Barry

CR of VS 2005 always prints as image; need EMF etc

After Crystal Reports XI, we had the problem that our printing software got more and more bugs and we where informed that old versions where no longer supported, so we should rewrite our software with one of the new interfaces. We choosed the .NET one.
However, our new printing frame now seems to always print using an image, i.e. the output file to the printer is just a bitmap. Even the output to Postscript printers is just that, an embedded image. While this is often no issue, some of our clients use printing to virtual printers, such as fax software, or archivation software etc. They therefore parse the output file for various informations not available if its just an image.
Printing from CR XI itself, and from our old software still based on the C interface (crpe32.dll) works fine. So clearly CR is able to produce more intelligent output formats. What can be done to enforce using them ?

Hi Randoom,
The native format of our reports are proprietary so we can't give you the info on how to decode it. And yes you are correct, an EPF Object is generated for each page and the output is basically a "picture" of the page to be printed.
Your only work around is to export the report to Excel or CSV which are text formats. The end users can then alter how they are getting the info from those file types and use the data as their needs require.
No option to use the viewer that was built into crpe32 any more, it's not supported as a report engine nor are you licensed to use it directly in an application.
If you can discribe what they were doing someone may have suggestions on which formats would be best.
Thank you

Hi.
Does this only open on that specific site?
In any case, you may want to:
- instruct Firefox to handle PDF files in a specific way by going into Tools > Options > Applications and selecting the option you want for the PDF files
- reinstall Adobe Reader and its Firefox plugin
- install another reader instead of Adobe Reader. I recommend Foxit Reader ( http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ ), since it's free, VERY light, VERY fast, safe and also has a Firefox plugin (make sure you don't have both Adobe Reader plugin and Foxit Reader plugin enabled/installed at the same time in Firefox)

Not correctly printing cropped screen shots in Word documents

I have a C4480 All-in-one that works fine except for one really annoying thing. I create documents using Microsoft Word that use PC screen shots inserted into the document. I paste the screen shot into the document then use the Word cropping tool to crop the view of the screen shot.
Looking at the print preview of the document, everything looks great - but when I print it, the cropping of the screen shot has changed!
Anyone have any ideas on what's happening?

The distortion was slightly visible in the JPG images in the
WYSIWYG but the SnagIt images looked fine. Both types were present
in the Word doc prior to importing and have always printed out fine
in Word. The images were not added after the import.
I know the original screen capture is fine. When I captured
the same screen in RoboScreenCapture, inserted it into my Word
document before importing - it printed out without any distortion.
SnagIt saves as a .png whereas the RH version saved it as a .gif. I
did resolve the JPG issue by saving those as GIFs. That's why I
thought maybe RH has a problem converting from one format to the
other.
Hope that helps you more!
