Hp designjet 520

I have a designjet 520 large format printer. It prints in color. I only need black and white prints. Can I run 4 black cartridges and get faster print times/better print quality?

I would think not, there are differences in the composition of the inks that would preclude this (and cause clogging in the printheads).
This forum is focused on consumer level products. For the Designjet you may have better results posting in the HP Designjet forum here.

Report width of 520 characters needed

Customer wants output in a plain text file where each detail line contains 520 characters. Should I attempt to find a printer driver that will allow that width, or is there another option?
Thanks.

Thanks for the printer driver advice. I installed the HP DesignJet 5500 driver, which is 60 inches wide, and now I can design the report I need and see the entire width of the report in Preview on my development pc. Now I need to go a step further and schedule the report on CR Server XI to email the report as a plain text file (again - 520 characters wide).
I installed the same printer driver on the server where CR Server XI is running. I created a 380 character witde test report in Crystal Reports on my development pc. I can design it and view it fine on my pc. When I upload to CR Server XI and schedule the report from InfoView as Plain Text, the output shown in InfoView and in the file that is emailed is truncated at 270 characters. I have tried all combinations for file formats and print settings on Infoview and CMC, and I've specified different values for characters per inch. I still end up with a 270 character wide report when trying to create a Plain Text file.
Is there a limitation of 274 characters for Plain Text file format? Do you have any suggestions for accomplishing this?
Note that I WAS able to successfully schedule and email the 380 character report successfully in Crystal Reports format and Rich Text format. For this reason, I think the printer driver definition is OK, and it is the Plain Text format that is the problem.

1.5.1 - printing problem with HP DesignJet 90

I made several 18" x 24" prints using 1.5 on the HP DJ 90 this morning and they printed fine, as they always have.
After upgrading to 1.5.1, the first print ceased printing at 20", the next at 8".
There were no other equipment changes before or after the upgrade.
I reverted to 1.5 and the back-up Aperture library and the same image printed perfectly, suggesting there is a problem with 1.5.1 and the Hewlett Packard DesignJet 90.
I will report this problem to Apple though Aperture software.
PPC iMac G5, 2gHz, 2gB Mac OS X (10.4.8) 10.4.8

The page looks perfect in preview and as a PDF. I can't print from the PDF, however, because it shrinks the text and expands the margins ...
Something's fishy. Save as PDF should result a file that looks exactly, precisely, like what you'd get if you printed directly to your printer.
I suspect your Word document has been corrupted by a few bytes of random data that is causing your printer to go nuts. Try cutting that portion out of the document, and pasting it in a new blank document so you can incrementally isolate the damage.
This isn't going to be as easy as it sounds, because when the PostScript printer driver encounters the errant code in the Word document, it's essentially telling the printer "now, go to the top of this page, print a nasty black smudge, and then crash." You might have to cut a whole page before and after the suspected corruption. If you're lucky you might be able to cut the portion then paste it right back as "unformatted text". Try that.

Please help! Major problems (performance and lock-ups) with brand new W520 with Intel 520 SSD

My company primarily uses HP machines but I've been a long time IBM (now Lenovo) fan so I recently had IT purchase me a new Lenovo W520 (product ID 42763LU).
Once the machine arrived I had them do the following:
Remove the 500GB HDD and replace it with an Intel 520 series 240GB SSD
Remove the optical drive and install the 500GB hard drive that came with the machine in the optical bay (with the bay adapter of course)
Format both drives and put a preconfigured windows 7 64-bit image on the SSD
A general summary of the system is the following:
Intel i7-2860QM CPU
8GB RAM
NVIDIA Quadro 1000M
Intel 520 240GB SSD (primary HDD) [SSDSC2CW240A3]
Hitachi 500GB HDD (optical bay) [HTS727550A9E365]
Intel Advanced-N 6205 network adapter
TouchChip Fingerprint Scanner
The machine was a few days delayed getting to me due to "hard drive driver issues" (that's what I was told). When I received the machine I immediately noticed that it was much slower than I expected (I have a custom built i5 HTPC at home running windows 7 on a Crucial SATA III SSD that I was comparing it to) and I was experiencing frequent hangs (ranging from 30 seconds to multiple minutes), super long boot times, general “slowness” at times, and occasional lock-ups. Since our "baseline" laptop here at work is the "equivalent" HP workstation my IT guys have been less than helpful in helping me to solve this issue. Being reasonably computer savvy I decided to try to try to fix the issue myself. I performed the following “troubleshooting” steps:
1. One of the first issues (errors) I noticed in the event viewer was errors related to the optical drive. Clearly the image they installed on the machine was not from a machine with the same hardware configuration. So, I decided to just wipe the machine and perform a fresh install of windows 7 from the disks (well, USB). After spending multiple days installing windows, performing updates, making sure all the drivers were current, and installing only the critical software I need, I was disappointed to realize that although I fixed the optical drive errors the machine was still slow, was hanging, and locking up regularly.
2. Removed the cover on the machine and removed/reinstalled the drive to verify it was secure.Everything looked good.
3. Verified the latest firmware is installed on all my Intel hardware. Everything seemed up to date.
4. I performed a number of troubleshooting steps like booting the machine with/without the battery, with/without the HDD in the optical bay, installed/removed from the docking station, etc. and none of these things helped (also a note – occasionally when running on the battery I was hearing a strange “buzz” or “static” sound coming from the area around the SSD).
5. Next I did some internet research and learned quite a few things. First, it sounds like others have had similar problems with this machine and/or SSD combo and there were quite a few options suggested to “fix” these issues. The general consensus for troubleshooting steps were:
5.1. Download and install the latest Intel chipset drivers and AHCI controller drivers (overwriting whatever windows installs during updates).This didn’t fix anything.
5.2. Turn off PCI express link state power management in the power manager. This didn’t fix anything.
5.3. Disable superfetch, prefetch, indexing, defragmentation, page file, system restore, and hibernate. A few of these were already disabled by windows so in those cases I just verified they were disabled in the services and application editor. These things may have slightly increased performance but did not fix the major hang/lockup issues I was having.
5.4. I followed online steps to edit the registry to disable the PCI link power management by adding ports, adding the required variables, and setting them all to 0. This did seem to have fixed the hangs and/or lock-ups but the machine is still much slower than I would expect (boot times are still pretty slow and it does “stutter” when I’m doing more than one thing at a time. Also a note here – I have the Intel SSD toolbox installed and I noticed that it was giving me a warning for DIPM not being optimized. I made the mistake of clicking “Tune!” and then started having the hang/lock-up issues again. I went back into the registry and sure enough the PCI link power management variables for ports 0 and 1 were set back to 1. I set them back to 0 and the hangs have gone away. I will not be “tuning” the DIPM through the Intel SSD toolbox again…
6. I also fixed a couple of other minor errors I was seeing in the event viewer by disabling benign services and/or making slight timeout modifications (I researched each issue on the internet to verify they were benign before I implemented any changes). These fixes didn't seem to do anything other than make some of the errors/warnings go away. So, the list of errors/warnings has become much smaller but I’m still getting the following (maybe an issue, maybe not?):
Event ID 37 for every processor saying that they are in a reduced performance state for xx seconds since the last report
Event ID 10002 - WLAN Extensibility Module has stopped
Event ID 4001 - WLAN AutoConfig service has successfully stopped
Event ID 27 – Intel® 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection link is disconnected
I suspect the WLAN errors have something to do with windows fighting with the Lenovo access connection tools?
7. Since the machine still seemed slow I downloaded the program AS SSD and checked the performance of the SSD. When I compared my performance numbers to the benchmark numbers I found onlineI was very surprised to discover that I’m getting about 50% of the performance that I should (values below are read/write).

Score: 207 / 208 (s/b 314 / 327)
Overall Score: 533 (s/b 797)
One more note - it seems like my cooling fan is running at a high speed almost all of the time. This is probably one of my power settings (I think I have it set for max performance) but it's even doing this when there is no load (i.e. I'm using IE and just vieweing webpages - like right now).
So, I apologize for such a long post but I’ve spent countless hours researching and troubleshooting this problem and haven’t been able to figure out what the heck is wrong here. Am I missing something simple or do you guys think I have a SSD and/or problem with the machine itself? To say that any and all help would be greatly appreciated would be a massive understatement – I’m on the verge of pulling my hair out and I really need this machine working as quickly as possible!
Please let me know if you have any suggestions and/or need additional information. Thanks in advance for your help!

Lol gotcha about the drive as an option. I didn't go SSD with mine. Do you have the latest firmware on your drive? It is supposed to be v1.97. Just checking (ah and I see item 3 so guess so). Do you have the SSD drive toolbox software installed?
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Solid+State+Drives+and+Cach...)
Seems some useful tools are in there. I can't say much beyond that with the drive. Oh. Why does your fan always run at high speed? Can you describe that? I mean, are we troubleshooting the right kind of issue? Is there anything else going on with your system? I saw about the reduced core speeds message. what are your system loads like? Anything causing high cpu utilization? Could be something other than the drive causing your low numbers and lockups.

Can't play the video in my Lumia 520

Hi
I always love the work of nokia and this time trailer app is just Nice but there's a problem.
I have downloaded 6 trailers and only 1 is able to play.
Rest of them says "sorry we can't play this video on your phone".
I have no idea what's wrong with my phone.
Please help.
I have a Lumia 520.
Thanks in advance.

Hi @livinglife,
Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
What is the error message displayed when you try playing the video? Have you tried using mobile data? If yes, does it show the same issue? What fixes have you tried so far? By the way, are you using the same phone model?

Amber update is not working in my lumia 520

sir,
i have installed new update in my lumia 520 .it installed fully and successfully but i cannot find of new features in my phone !!?? features like call+sms filter ,radio and so on.., how can i solve this problem.

Perhaps a more helpful answer is to install "Lumia System Updater". That app will allow you to check and update all the system apps on your phone (such as "extras+info", "about" etc.) that are required for the Amber/GDR2 update to be "seen".

Problems after amber update in my lumia 520

I have updated my lumia 520. After it there is regular fluctuation in my internet connection even my data setting is on and battery is also discharging quickly after update.

hi mate,
have you checked that you are up to date with all the latest Nokia system app updates from the Store? also try performing a soft reset, and check your Network+ and Access Point settings in the Settings.

Regarding an update in my lumia 520

I have updated my 520 a couple of days ago with lumia amber update...and now today it was showing me a new phone update. I tried to download the update but it got failed. After that i restarted my phone and it was showing no updates available.
what was that update about???
and why it disappeared???

no worries mate, yeah not too sure about speech update but if it is working fine now then wouldn't worry too much about it unless it popped up again and was causing problems.

Mobile network problem in my lumia 520

Once network gone, I have to Restart it then again mobile network come.calling proble occurs many times even network is dispayed. Network problem sshould be rectify.

Hi mbkrish,
Do you experience the network issue regardless of your area? Aside from calling, are the other network services working fine like SMS messaging and mobile data connection? Is this for a Lumia 520 as well? If so, I hope you're using a standard microSIM and not a cut one as this is what the phone is designed to use.
BTW, the reset that the Nokia Care Center recommended is the one under Settings > about, is that right? After the reset, have you checked if the system apps are updated? Go to Settings > swipe to applications > store > check for updates.
Let us know how it will go.

CS6 won't print to my HP DesignJet Z3200 printer

When I select this printer for output, all seems fine: When I click the Print Settings button in the CS6 print dialog window, I am taken to the HP driver and can make all my selections. But when I come back to the CS6 print dialog window and click Print -- the dialog window closes and nothing goes to the printer.
I can print to my color laser as expected.
System: Win XP SP3
HP DesignJet Z3200 44in Photo (non-Postscript version)
HP driver version 61.83.41.0
One unusual thing about this printer: The driver has a preview function. When I print from Photoshop CS2 (and all other apps), sending a file to the printer launches the preview application. The image is displayed on screen, giving me a final chance to approve or reject it. When I print from CS6, the preview application doesn't launch.
My workaround is to save the file and print it from Photoshop CS2.
I have not checked if the problem goes away if I disable the preview function. Nor have I traced a print job to see when it shows up in the spooler, when the preview application launches -- and if those answers change with CS6. Let me know if you need more information.

Hi OC Photoworx,
Have you tried updating the Printer driver yet?
I see an updated version on the HP site:
Version#: 61.101.368.41
Release date: 16 Mar 2011
See if downloading that driver can help out!
If not, let us know here!
Thanks!
Pete
