HP Laserjet 1200 printing envelopes wrong

No answer over at HP's boards, so I'll try here.
No matter if I'm printing from Word or Appleworks, envelopes print incorrectly on my HP Laserjet 1200. I feed the envelope through the guides and it comes out too far down. I did a test print on a full sheet of paper and it prints according to the left margin settings. I've tried adjust the page settings to no avail. Am I missing something?

If you are selecting the correct size envelope in the Print setup dialogue, distinct from the A4 or normal sheet of paper size and selecting manual feed over automatic, if available, and this is not working, then the next best thing would be to set up a 'pro forma' example file of where the address must be located on the page for it to print out accurately if using the envelope as the paper. Save it as MyEvelopesBP.rtf or some such.
I use a similar proforma for locating the correct position of the addressee on letters as I use a windowed envelope, as the position is crucial for when folded for it to appear in the envelope's window.
So whilst this is not some specific solution for you, I intend some guidance for you to create a satisfactory work-around.

  • HP Laserjet 1200 printer occasional​ly won't collate

    I'm supporting a machine (XP SP3) running Word 2007.  Attached to this machine via parallel interface is a HP Laserjet 1200 printer.
    The user says occasionally that it will not collate output, no matter what she tries.  The problem just goes away on its own later.  She has said that occurrences of this problem seem to be associated with power outtages.
    Is this a driver issue, a Word 2007 issue, or something else?  I could try refreshing and/or updating the driver, but I'd hate to introduce any new issues by doing this.  It could be that there are some settings that are conflicting.
    Has anybody else had this issue?
    Thanks!

    I think I found the problem. Leopard doesn't like my USB 2.0 PCI card. I had the same problem a while ago with an earlier version of OSX. It was resolved with an OS update. I wish I understood the value of having PCI slots on my G5, when even such a simple device as my USB card is rendered useless by a new operating system.

  • Que:  Lion upgrade -now HP Laserjet 1200 printer won't work.

    Que:  Lion and now my HP Laserjet 1200 printer won't work.  I've downloaded the appropriate driver from the Apple site and it's not on HP's list of printers that won't work with Lion - any other suggestions?

    My Laserjet 1200 works under Lion, so it is possible. I don't recall loading any special drivers for it to work, and HP doesn't have any Lion-specific drivers available.  In System Preferences, under Print and Scan, did you add the HP Laserjet 1200?  

  • HP LaserJet 1200 printing problems

    Ever since I upgraded to Tiger, my formerly trusty HP LaserJet 1200 takes up to 10-20 minutes to print a single PDF page (even a simple one), and 2) can't keep track of documents in the queue (if I send a second document while the first is printing, the first one cuts out without finishing).
    I understand HP bundled the latest driver into Tiger, so no updated driver is available from HP. Although I installed the GimpPrint drivers, there appears to be no Gimp driver for the LaserJet 1200. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
    G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

    Update: I realised that my printer was attached to a USB hub. It's been that way since I bought it and has always used like that. Anyway, on the off-chance (and bearing in mind that I had actually shut down my computer for the first time in a year or so last week), I instead connected the printer directly to one of the USB ports of my iMac. It immediately appeared in the Print Utility list!
    Sounds peculiar, but it seems that the problems was linked to a combination of a Tiger upgrade, the use of a USB hub, and the full shut down of the computer.
    Hope this helps someone.

    Hey,
    I see you are wanting to install an HP Laserjet 1200 on your Windows 7 64bit PC.  I also see that the downloadable drivers are not working for you.  Have you tried installing the driver located in the Windows Add a Printer: Windows Update section?  For information on how to perform this type of install please read the article linked below.

  • HP LaserJet 1200: Prints; creates EXTRA sheet with Offending Command: D

    After every printing job is completed *an extra page is printed* with the following:
    ERROR: undefined
    OFFENDING COMMAND: D
    STACK:
    How can I stop this *unnecessary waste of paper* every time I print something?
    Please help!

    What does work is the following:
    Set your printer to NOT use Appletalk (through your browser).
    Delete your printer and install it again. If you don't see it in the list select IP printer and use the printer's IP address
    Make sure you use a HP driver and not the Generic driver. I used a Gutenprint driver with success on a LaserJet 1200 with a JetDirect network adapter.

  • LaserJet 1200 printing streak

    I have a LaserJet 1200 which suddenly started printing spots and streaks on a line about two inches from the left edge of every page. The artifacts appear even on a test page or a blank page. I changed toner cartridges, and the problem was not resolved. This is a printer that is no longer supported by HP, and it is very costly to take it to a repair shop, besides no one wants to work on it. It is a perfectly good and reliable printer otherwise. My thought is that it has a dirty roller, but I cannot determine how to get to the rollers. I went through the process to clean the pick-up roller, but it is not in the right position for the marks that appear on printouts. I would appreciate any suggestions.

    Dear danemom.
    Sounds like you need a new fuser. If you have changed the cartridge and the marks are still there. If you open the back dtop door of the printer and take a flashlight and look at the fuser roller you will probably see there is either a tear or toner marks on the roller in the fuser. That is what is causing the marks.
    If the marks are repeating down the page take a ruler and measure the distance between them.Then.e-mail me back with the measurements and i can tell you for sure.

  • HP LaserJet P2015 Printing Envelopes from Bottom Tray

    Hi,
    Every month, I need to print approximately 100 to 150 envelopes with different addresses on them, and I can't stack that many on my HP LaserJet P2015's manual input tray. I can usually only fit about ten. I was wondering if it is possible to put a larger stack in the bottom tray, which I typically use for normal printing paper. The envelopes are approximately 7.5"x5.5", and don't fit into any default paper size in the bottom tray. Is there some sort of workaround for this, or am I stuck manually loading these envelopes?

    If you are up for some experimenting, here is what I would suggest you do:
    1. Check out this document on how to set custom envelope sizes. While this document talks about C6 envelopes the principal is the same for any size that is not listed in the driver. You may have to set a custom size if the size you want isn't listed there. You will need to do this in order for your information to be printed correctly on the envelope.
    2. Check out my pic below. While this is a paper tray from a newer product in the same product line as your printer, you should be able to do the same thing. Find the paper guides (red squares) and adjust them to fit your envelope snuggly. Make sure it isn't to tight or you will warp the envelope. Replace your paper tray. Try printing an envelope. You may have to experiment to see if the flap has to be up or down.

  • HP Laserjet 1200 and Driver Updates

    On the "Download Drivers and Software" support page for the HP Laserjet 1200 printer, there is an option, "Automatically check to see if your driver needs updating".
    A machine that I am supporting is having a MS Word collating issue (sometimes works, sometimes doesn't) and I don't know if its a driver issue or not.  The machine is XP SP3.
    If I click on this link, obviously it will check the drivers, but:
    1) Will it give me the option to automatically update the drivers if it finds they are outdated, and
    2) How do I roll back to the old driver if the update introduces problems? 
    Since this potential driver update isn't going through the normal MS XP driver update routine in Device Manager, I'm leery that I won't be able to recover if something goes wrong.

    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/
    I hope this helps.

  • HP Laserjet 1200 multiple copies problem

    I am trying to print multiple copies of an index card document to my HP Laserjet 1200 printer.  However, it will only print 1 copy, regardless of how many copies I tell it to print.  Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?  I have rebooted both the printer and the computer, to no avail.

    How to print multiple copies (In order to get printing of multiple copies you need to disable "Mopier Mode")
    Click Start
    Click Devices and Printers
    Right click your Laserjet printer
    Click on Printer Properties  (not just "Properties" at the bottom of the drop-down menu - DB)
    Click the tab labelled Device Settings
    Scroll down to the bottom (If necessary expand Installable Options)
    Click on and DISABLE Mopier Mode, which should be the last of the Installable Options
    You should now be able to print multiple copies.
    This information is not specific to Windows 7 and also applies to some other HP Laserjets.

  • Hp LaserJet 1200 Generic Class: Waiting for device

    I have 2 computers that I want to print to my hp Laserjet 1200 printer. We are using an iogear 4-port usb 2.0 sharing switch. One computer prints fine but the other always displays a message "Generic Class: Waiting for device." Help!

    Both computers have the printer driver installed. The usb device does not have a driver to install. You just plug in the usb cords to each computer and the printer. You only install a driver if using a pc operating system.

  • Laserjet 1200 and Win 7 - small sheet orientation problem

    I am unable to get my HP Laserjet 1200 printer to work correctly with Windows 7 when printing a document narrower than 8.5x11.  The problem is that a 4x6 sheet is fed through the center of the printer but win7 wants to print as if the 4x6 sheet were fed through the left side of the printer.  Any suggestions are welcomed.  Thank you.

    It's almost like a memory problem? Like it doesn't get all the graphics sent to the printer until halfway down the page.
    I use this for my small business to make labels for my products.  Does anyone know how to help?  I tried to call HP, but they are closed, it told me to do the online chat, but that said it didn't recognize my printer.  HELP!

  • LaserJet 1200 driver problem

     HP Laserjet 1200 printer with Windows 7...   The problem is that a 4x6 sheet is fed through the center of the printer but win7 wants to print as if the 4x6 sheet were fed through the left side of the printer.  Any suggestions are welcomed.  Thank you.

    It's almost certainly a driver probelm, particualrly if it happens in other programs too. Do you have a win7 driver?

  • Upgrading to Windows 8.1 and Laserjet 1200 becomes an unknown device

    Here at work we still have some "old" printers working locally on some laptops.
    Recently we performed an upgrade of all our 8.0 devices to 8.1.
    After the upgrade none of the HP Laserjet 1200 printers is functioning.
    In the device and printers pane the printer is marked as unkonw, drivers can't be found while using te troubleshooter.
    When i search on the hp website, it is suggested to use HP Universal Drivers PCL6 or PS6. I downloaded them both, installed each one after the other followed up with a test. None of the drivers worked. When the installer suggests to connect the printer through USB (normaly it would open a plug&play wizard) nothing happens.
    I removed the installations and followed the instruction of someone who claimed to have a working Laserjet1200 on a Win8.1 installation. He suggested to install te DOT4 drivers first, I took the driver from this (http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=fp_109468_2&swEnvOid=4158) page. On that page it's said that the installation is compatible with an 8.1 installation, but when i try to run the .msi a pop-up warns me that it's only win8.0 supported.
    So is there anyone who has a working Laserjet 1200 printer through USB on a Windows 8.1 installation?
    And how did you realise that?
    Thanks in advance,
    M.

    Hi m0n0cl3,
    I looked for the driver for your printer with Windows 8.1 using a USB connection and found this:
    http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=58928&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4158
    It looks like Windows 8.1 should be compatible with your printer. Let me know if this solves your problem.
