HP LaserJet 4600dn and envelope printing

I have an HP LaserJet 4600dn and envelopes start to seal up from the heat when printing more than 50 envelopes. We print different sizes, #10, #7, #9. Any ideas how to keep the printer from fusing the envelopes closed?

This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!

  • Color LaserJet CP1515n and ghost printing in Windows 7

    I have an odd problem with my printer, that has otherwise worked perfectly. In XP there was never a problem, but with Windows 7 it is not going as well.
    The test pages from the printer look correct, and as i said there was no problem until i switched to Windows 7. I can print text perfectly fine, but when i try to print an image, i get a blurry "ghost" printing. It is as if the image is printed faintly, slightly lower, which makes it look like i am seeing double and make my head hurt. This happens both for monochrome and color printing.
    As i said, i do not beleive it to be a physical problem with the printer, because the testpages look correct. But i just cannot print any kind of image without getting the ghost print. How can i fix this?

    Hi,
    Have you been able to solve the ghost printing problem as I have encountered the same problem & would like to know how to fix it?
    Many thanks

  • P4515X Printer and Envelope printing

    I am having troubles printing Envelopes (#11 & #12) from this printer. The #10 prints without any problems going to the Tray 1, as configured. But HP has now only allowed 4 ty pes of envelopes and when ever you print a different # envelope to this printer, it prints on one but then gives errors saying 'General Misprint error' in the event log and on the console saying it is the wrong size paper. The User needs to cancel the job, then finally have it print on a regular letter paper. Which is a waste and time consuming when they print different size envelopes all day long being in our Customer Service Department. They wished they had their old 4000 laser back, slower but much quieter and no problems printing envelopes.
    I can not really use the Universal driver as that takes away the Job Storage feature which is also used on a regular basis.
    Thanks.

  • Windows Server 2008 driver for LaserJet 4100 with envelope printer

    I have a new Windows 2008 Server 32 and a handful of HP printers.  I need a driver for the LaserJet 4100 with an envelope feeder.  The universal driver doesn't appear to recognize (or give an option to find) the envelope feeder.  The old drivers I used on the previous server won't install on the 2008 box.
    I can;t be the only person with an envelope feeder on this machine. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?
    Thanks

    I'm afraid I'll have to refer you to the Business Support Forums for further help. They're more well-versed with Laserjet printers.

  • Color Laserjet CP3525 and duplex printing

    Hi,
    just trying out the 3525 and I have noticed that duplex printing is very misaligned, i.e. the printing on a two page spread has a different top margin on the left and right page. This is real dissapointment, I was really expecting more from an HP device and payed much more just to get the duplex function!
    Is there anything I can do about this?

  • Envelope Printing Incorrectly to HP laserjet

    When installing to one of the Mavericks upgrades last year, my old HP laser jet 3700n would no longer print envelopes correctly from either WordMac or from PrintShop3. I blamed the old age of the printer (More than 10 years) and no recent driver made for it. I purchased a new HP LaserJet MFP M476dw but I have the exact same issue. The envelope appears perfect in print preview but when the envelope prints, the text is perpendicular like in portrait mode and mostly off of the envelope. It doesn't matter the size of the envelope. I have tried changing every setting I could find, altering the dimensions to the opposite length/width, changing the orientation of the envelope feed, but I can't get it right. I can't believe I am the only person with this problem. I called HP and after 2 hours on the phone they said they couldn't help me. I'm not very computer literate and really would like help.

  • Printing Problem with labels and envelopes

    I have Microsoft office:mc 2004 and cannot print labels and envelopes. Whenever I ask to print it boots out and states that there is a problem and ask me to report the problem. I have reported it 20 times in the last 2 days with no response from apple. Can anyone give me any input on how to correct this problem? I have a HP laserJet 3050 all in one printer and did not have these problems when I was using a PC with windows. Please help as I am at my last of my patience on this problem. Thanks and please use language I can understand as I am not computer literate on all of the lingo that is being used.

    Hi Lilmac, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Have you installed a Printer Driver later than the one that comes on the CD? hp generally includes older ones.
    Tough to say with so little to go on, but since it could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot.
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.

  • Laserjet 400 can't print envelopes ...

    All-
    We purchesed a LaserJet 400 Color (M451) nw printer last year, and printing regular documents works fine. However, we have a lot of problems printing "non-letter" documents such envelopes, 3x5 cards, and other items. We are not trying to load different trays with different paper products -- we just want to manally feed single items using Tray 1 and have them print as directed.
    The main issue is that the printer gives up before it even starts. If we create an envelope in something like Microsoft Word, and then press print, the printer automatially comes back with a "Jam in Tray 2" message before it even attempts to feed paper of any kind. Once we clear the message, it tries again, and usually prints a blank page from the normal letter-paper tray, completely ignoring our envelope sitting in the manually feed tray. The only way we have found to print these items, is to (1) open all paper trays and remove their contents, (2) re-insert all empty paper trays, and (3) manually feed the desired paper iteam (e.g. envelope) through Tray 1, and then it will work. 
    I miss our old HP printers that used to just work out of the box. (Sigh)
    Welcome comments.

    Have same issue. HP salesman said put several envelopes in to raise the paper pile up higher so when it trys to grab the envelope it is easier to access. Also, don't forget to set the selection on your PC to the same size envelope that you are using. It won't print a #9 envelope if your selection is set on #10.
    Alternative: Fool the printer! Open Windows WORD to a blank document page. Go to 'mailings' (envelopes) - click on ADD TO DOCUMENT - -- it will give you an envelope on the screen above the blank page.  Type your address onto the envelope -  
    be sure to place your paper envelope into the printer tray and lay a blank piece of paper on top.
    When you click PRINT  -  The printer will grab the paper and pull it through as if you were printing a letter and the envelope will follow automatically.  Tah Tah!!!!   You have a printed envelope.   

  • My LaserWriter Pro 630 thinks it's a LaserJet IIP and prints dirty pages!

    I recently aquired a LaserWriter Pro 630, and have been trying to get it to work. I've been using it with a WinXP Pro SP2 laptop as my PowerMac G4 doesn't have a parallel port and my print server has not arrived yet.
    Basically, the only time it'll print anything is when the push button on the printer interface rail is set to 1 or 3 - which is PCL output. While the printer will print when set to PCL, it's output is... undesirable. When configured in XP as a LaserWriter Pro 630, it simply starts printing out the raw PostScript sent to the printer! interestingly enough, the printer will print on push button setting 4 - it'll print the printer spec sheet, and nothing else. Anything other than 1, 3, 04 4 will result in the printer thinking for a bit then giving an "out of paper light" or having the print job pass on in to oblivion, not giving an error on the printer or computer.
    Now, the LW Pro 630 supports LaserJet IIP emulation... So I manually configured the driver to a LaserJet IIP in XP, set the push button to 3, and it prints! Only problem is, the pages look like they were sent through a bad fax machine.
    I uploaded the scan of the XP Printer Test page here (http://img221.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lwpro630xp2cq7.jpg). Obviously the printer works, but I'd rather not print reports and whatnot on it when it looks like this.
    For reference, here's the scan of the printer spec sheet that prints when the push button's set to 4 (http://img221.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lwpro630specsdy0.jpg).
    Does anyone have an idea how I can resolve the LaserWriter's identity crisis and make it print cleanly again? Thanks!

    The LaserWriter Pro 630 is a Postscript level 2 printer with LocalTalk, serial, Ethernet, and parallel interfaces.
    To use it with your Mac, you may need to convert its 14-pin AAUI Ethernet port (marked with <_> Icon) to an RJ45 Ethernet port by adding a used US$5 transceiver.
    It can then be used with the standard Apple LaserWriter driver when you turn on AppleTalk on your Ethernet port. No additional print server is required to use with a Mac.
    The overall smudginess is caused by shipping it with the cartridge in place, with the tape seal removed. The toner has flown all over the inside of the cartridge. You need a new cartridge.
    The LaserWriter test page is trying to explain the settings of the number dial in the center oval of the printout. It lists the ports in order and the settings imposed by each switch setting:
    8 -- for the MiniDIN-8 port, used for LocalTalk
    RS-232 -- for the RS-232 port, probably a DB-25, and shows the serial settings, like 9600, 8 data, etc.
    Ethernet -- for the AAUI Ethernet port, which accepts Postscript level 2 data using "EtherTalk" -- AppleTalk-over-Ethernet
    parallel -- for Centronics parallel, which will likely only provide HP PCL 4+ emulation and not Postscript.

  • Printing problem-new HP Laserjet P2015 and VERY slow printing-

    I have a new HP Laserjet p2015, and while it does print, it is VERY slow—typically about 1 page per minute even for plain black-and-white Word documents. Much time spent with HP support, even got a new new machine… they're out of ideas and think it might be OS related…
    Where do I begin to troubleshoot this?
    Printer is connected directly to computer via USB.

    I have downloaded new drivers, removed and added the printer multiple times, etc. As I mentioned, I've spent a few hours with HP support, tried new USB cable, even got a new machine. They now believe it's something with my system.
    Any reason to believe that reinstalling my system software will help?
    By the way: Printing from Text Edit is not faster. Or if it is, not very. In any case, it's not a realistic solution

    This would be the correct setting if the AirPort Extreme is connected to a simple modem (one ethernet port).

  • Envelope printing using HP LaserJet CP1525nw color

    I have been trying to print envelopes on our above printer.  My document is in Word and is formatted accordingly for a #10 business envelope.
    Under HP's help feature, I found the appropriate info on how to set up my document's printing options so it would print correctly.  
    The first envelope printed on the flap side; I re-loaded them back into tray 1 and was ready.
    The second envelope printed successfully so I thought I had it figured out.  So I loaded the paper tray with 5 envelopes, hoping to print them en masse.  I couldn't get this to work when I tried to print 4 at once.  I got an error "Jam in Tray 2" and I wasn't even using Tray 2.  I cleared the "problem" and ONE envelope printed successfully, then I got the same error message.
    I got 2 more envelopes printed this way but each time I got the same error message, cleared the machine, and 1 envelope printed.
    Frustrated, I cancelled the multiple print job and tried printing the envelopes one-by-one.  Now it's not working at all even though I clear the phantom paper jam each time.
    Can anyone help with this?  It's driving me nutty.
    Background info:  my husband (network engineer) set up the printer.  I have over 20 years of word processing experience and usually have good results with figuring out printing problems.  This one has me stumped!
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    The CP1525 does allow you to print envelopes.There are two trays that can be used. I will describe only using the lower tray. Normally this tray is used for standard paper.  To use it for letter envelopes, you need to pull out the tray and then make some changes. Take out all of the paper. There are blue-colored paper supporters. Two are used for the width of regular papers. Slide it toward the center so that it will handle the envelope with the top toward the left side. Put the envelope in with the printable side up and the top towards the left side. Slide the blue paper holders so they touch the top and bottom. Then push the envelope all the way toward the back and then move the single blue paper holder at the front so that it is against the envelope. You are ready to print as far as the printer.
    I have to select properties for the printer. I indicate that I am printing an envelope. I also had to indicate landscape. I also had to move the print areas to fit where I want them to be. Then I added my address and the address to where they are going. I am not sure that I got everything but this should work well.
    I did not do this, but you can use both trays with one that holds a number of pages and the other for a number of envelopes.

  • HP LaserJet P1102w will only print wirelessly if I turn the printer off and on again

    I have 2 Laserjet P1102w that work fine printing through USB.  However, I was hoping this printer could become the standard wireless printer for individual users in the office.  I have setup 2 different printers wirelessly with their own static, reserved IP addresses and they are connected to our wireless access point (WPA).  We have  all laptops that are connected to the network via the same access point as well as through hard wired ethernet.  In all cases, they are on the same subnet.
    Once I connect any laptop to one of these printers wirelessly through either the "smart install" client or the latest regular installation exe off of HP's site, it will print fine initially.  However, whenever I undock the laptop or even just wait a few hours, the connection will be lost and I cannot print.  The queue just says "Error - Printing" when I print sometihng.  No errors in the logs.  The connection will come back if I turn off the printer and turn it back on.  This is very annoying and will probably not be acceptable to the users.
    So I wanted to do more testing and connected both printers to my laptop wirelessly and made sure they could print successfully.  I opened 2 command windows and ran a ping -t on each IP address to see at what point the connection dies.  The ping will reply until I undock and go from hard wired / wireless to just wireless.. then it will say "Destination unreachable" and I can't even access the web interface. Even if I redock to hard wired / wireless, I still can't print unless I restart the printer.
    This happens on 2 different laptops with 2 different p1102w printers.  Any clue as to what's going on here and how I can fix it?
    Edit:
    If I have both wireless and nic enabled, once I undock the laptop, the ping -t changes from replying to the ip of the printer, to replying to the address of the wireless adapter with "Destination host unreachable".
    For example:
    IP of printer: 192.168.2.95
    IP of wireless adapter on laptop: 192.168.2.25
    ping 192.168.5.95

    *undock"
    Reply from 192.168.2.25 Destination Host Unreachable
    Reply from 192.168.2.25 Destination Host Unreachable
    This does not happen if I disabled the nic and run only off the wireless card.  So the workarounds are to either turn the printer off and back on if I undock every time, or disabled the nic.
    At this point, I just want to understand why it is like this?

    Mowaffaq, you may want to determine whether you are making those changes in the master printing preferences (versus the adjusting the session printing preferences from within your application).
    Click "Start", click "Printers and Faxes" (or "Devices and Printers"), right-click your printer, and select "Printing Preferences". On the "Paper/Quality" tab, you should be able to specify A4 as your default paper for all future print jobs.
    Hope that helps.

  • I purchased a MacPro 2010 and is having trouble to add HP LaserJet 1022n to my printer list.

    Dear Administrator,
    I purchased a Mac Pro 2010.  I migrated from my MacBook Pro to Mac Pro.  Then, the HP LaserJet 1022n won't print.  I reseted printing system and now can't add that printer to my printer list.  Software Update have installed HP Printer Driver v. 2.16.1 on my system.  The printer is actually available in HP Printer Driver 1.1.1 update.  But, no matter how I do it, it always complained that the Driver software is currently unavailable and ask me to install it later.  I have downloaded the HP Printer Driver 1.1.1 update manually, but it won't install and showed my Macintosh HD as not a valid install target.  I tried to install the driver CD that came with the printer, but it complained that a newer version of the driver has been installed on the SSD hard drive.  Please help.
    My guess is that the HP Printer Driver 1.1.1 update is on the system but is corrupt, that is why the Add Printer command can't simply pick up the driver on the computer.  Other method also break down since they think I already have the driver installed.  I think that I needed to uninstall the HP Printer Driver 1.1.1 update to correct the system.  That is just my hunch.
    Please advice.  Thank you very much for your time and effort in this matter.
    Sincerely yours,
    Zigang

    Have you tried un-installing the original (complete) software and re-installing it?
    Usually that does the trick. After that you can try the update if necessary.
