HP Laserjet Pro 400 Printer unable to print docs using both letter and legal paper

HELP!! Have been using an HP Laserjet Pro 400 M425dn dual tray printer for 2 years, along with a Dell laptop. Always had ability to send documents to print using both letter and legal size paper. Under print set-up on laptop, the option checked was always set to "Choose Paper Source by PDF Paper Size". Now I've just purchased an HP Envy All-in-One Desktop, which does not offer that option under Print Set-Up. While it allows for 'Auto Selection' of paper size, you are required to choose either letter or legal size paper. I've called tech support 3 times, the latest call earlier this am, only to be disconnected. Yesterday I was told that I should go on hp/support and update drivers. My husband downloaded drivers, but still no fix. Unless this issue is resolved asap, I will have no option but to return this Envy Desktop, as I cannot run my business without this option.
Anyone have a similar problem? How was it resolved?

The available options will (probably) be determined by the printer driver in use.
This , in turn, will be determined partly by which Operating System and version you are using.
Once a printer model has been out in the field for some time (generally when the next generation (or two?) of devices has been announced to supersede it) that model becomes a 'legacy' device, and 'full-specification' printer drivers may no longer be supplied by the printer manufacturer, but basic (i.e. without too many options) drivers will (probably) instead be supplied with the operating system.

Unable to print from 11.5.9 on laserjet 2600n on Redhat Linux 4.0 AS

Dear Experts,
We recently purchased HP LaserJet Color 2600n. After we bought and installed it in the office network, I was supposed to add this printer in our Redhat Linux 4.0 AS server. While adding this printer, we realized that it is not present in the standard list of printer drivers. And none was available on HP.com for Linux OS!
After some research, I downloaded and installed driver from the following site - http://foo2hp.rkkda.com/
The test printout came but in black and white.
I went and registered this printer in my 11.5.9 apps
All details same as another working HP Laserjet 4050 printer.
I cannot print anything from my application!
I get the following error:
Printing output file.
Request ID : 1157149
Number of copies : 1
Printer : Laserjet2600N
lp: unable to print file: client-error-not-found
APP-FND-00500: AFPPRN received a return code of failure from routine FDUPRN. An error occurred while AOL tried to spawn the print process
Cause: AFPPRN received a return code of failure from the OSD routine FDUPRN. An error occurred while AOL tried to spawn the print process.
Action: Review your concurrent request log file for more detailed information.
Finished executing request completion options.
Kindly help ASAP as the users are waiting for more than a week for this!
Also, I checked that the name of the printer in the application is same as the one in OS - no problems there.
Thanks in advance

Add printer via something like:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p printername -E -v socket://printername -m laserjet.ppd

Unable to print on laserjet 4345mfp

Hello I had a Macbook pro and Since I update my mac to 10.8.3 the machine is unable to print on a LaserJet 4345MFP. I'm able to print on brother and other colorlaserjets from Hp on the network but for this particular printer I'm not. Last week I purchased a new MacBook Pro 15 Retina, when I add the printer the OS download the driver add the printer but even on this new mac I'm not able to print and on the other printers I do. Which could be the problem? Anyone with same issue?

Hello
Could you provide a few more details about 'can't print' ?
Is the MBP and the printer connected via Ethernet ? Does the printer show in the list when you 'Add printer" ?
Or, is Add Printer successful, but then you get some type of error when you actually try and print.
we want to separate discovery issues vs actual driver/print issue
thanks

Unable to print envelopes with latest HP driver for LaserJet 4

In April I downloaded the latest HP drivers for my HP LaserJet 4 to reinstall following work on my computer.
First I was just unable to print envelopes.
I redownloaded and had same results
I have uninstalled and re-installed a number of times.
I tried a "chat" with HP that went nowhere.
I was on hold for over an hour last night -- only to be told that I should email a request for assistance. Fat Chance! Try it!
I still have the manual from when it was new. It had no answer except a Customer Service phone number which has long been shut down.
The present condition is that I am unable to print anything.
Customer Service is a sick myth.

Hello, DP Photo, sounds like a scanning issue with the software. To start I want you to completely remove the software and then reinstall the programming from the packages available on the website I am going to link you to below. Use the full-feature software if available.

Try that and let me know how it goes!

PS I hope you are having a wonderful day!

Unable to print to Dell Laserjet 1320c

From Mac Air, I Can't connect to Dell Laserjet 1320c, From iMac was OK

I'm having the same issue with a Dell Color Laser 3100CN, but not from an Air, a regular Macbook Pro. It was working previously but now with 10.6.5 it is no longer working. I do see an error in the /var/log/system.log file though:
Printing failed because PMSessionEndDocumentNoDialog() returned -30870.

Unable to print to HP LaserJet 1000 via Print Server

I have a HP LaserJet 1000, TP-Link TL-PS110U (USB, Ethernet Print Server), TP-Link Modem Router (TD-W8961ND - 300Mbs Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router)
Operating System: Vista Home Edition
I can ping the Print Server (IP address: 192.168.1.110) from the laptop wirelessly.
I can print directly to the printer via the laptop when connected via the USB cable.
However, I get an error message in the job queue when trying to print wirelessly. I have contacted TP-Link for their input, however, they do not seem to be able to resolve the problem.
Can you please confirm is there is a compatibility issue. If it is compatible, could you please suggest how this should be set up?
(By the way, when I tried to download the HP Print and Scan Doctor, I got a 403 error message from http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=uk&lc=en&jumpid=ex_r4155/hho/ipg/ccdoc/p...
Kind regards
Jools1964

Hi Jools1964,
The HP Laserjet 1000 is an Host-Based printer, as listed on TP-Link's compatibility guide the print server only support the PCL or Post-Script printing languages, therefore the HP Laserjet 1000 is incompatible wit the print server:
http://www.tp-link.com/resources/document/TL-PS110U_Compatibility_List_2.pdf
PCL and PS are supported by our print servers. If the printer is not on the list, please check the
printing language by yourself. If it is PCL or PS, it should be compatible with our print server. If
not, it is more probably incompatible.
As you may find listed within the printer specification it is a Host-Based printer:
http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/learnUseDisplay/?sp4ts.oid=45674...
Printer languages: Windows host-based printer command language

Unable to Print in Windows with Vmware Fusion HP LaserJet 1006

Prints fine on the Mac with 10.6.1 and HP driver updates.
Printer worked flawlessly with Leopard 10.5.8
Will not print in windows. Open the print queue and it says it is printing (it isn't), sometimes the message is that it is waiting for the printer to become available, (printer is available).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Alan

The print job gets sent to the printer, but it wont print. It says waiting for printer to become available. When this happens I am also unable to print from the Mac side and have to restart the computer to be able to print from the MacBook. Simply turning off the printer and then turning it on doesn't help.

HP CP-2025dn: "Printer is busy" error message when printing.

Hi everyone!
I'm using CUPS 1.5.3, foo2zjs and foomatic-db-foo2zjs (for my Samsung printer) and I'm trying to install a HP Color Laserjet CP2025-dn network printer. I use the CUPS web interface to do so, and everything seems to work fine. I use the ipp:// protocol (the hp:// one does not work) and use the hpijs driver for the printer. I've also tried other drivers such as the hpcups variant, and both HP CP2025n drivers.
Every time I try to print, CUPS says that the printer is busy (and processing), but I know for a fact that I'm the only one on the network sending jobs to it. Other Linux machines can print to it. If it changes anything, the black toner level is low and the printer displays a warning, but still prints on other Linux machines using older version of the hpijs and hpcups drivers.
Any idea why this happens?
Thanks!

This worked for me. I have an IMAC and wife has a laptop MacPro. Epson printer connected USB to IMAC and MacPro normally prints from local router network. Could not get MacPro to print.
On MacPro repaired disk permissions.
Delete printer.
Reset print preferences. Control key and click on empty printer add/delete box and select when it appears
Shut down Mac Pro
On IMAC, disconnect printer USB cable.
Connect cable to MacPro.
Start MacPro
Dialog box asked to install Epson software. Agree.
Test print.
Shut down MacPro
Reconnect printer cable to IMAC.
Insure print sharing is turned on
Start MacPro.
Delete printer and reset printer preferences as above
Add pinter. It should now appear. Select
Turn on shared printing
Test. Worked for me.

Unable to print to USB printer over the network

Hi all,
I have an iMac and an Macbook Air, both running 10.6.4, and I've got an HP LaserJet 1200 printer connected to the iMac by USB. Both machines are on my home wireless network (Linksys, FWIW).
I seem to be unable to print to the LaserJet over the network from my Air. I've tried all manner of permutations of printer setup on the Air: IPP/LPD/HP JetDirect; entering the hostname (*.local) and the IP address of the host; leaving the queue blank and not; and leaving "Print Using" as generic vs selecting the LaserJet drivers. The printers appear in the "Default" Add Printer menu as Bonjour Shared, but this doesn't seem to work either.
Following other threads, I've tooled around with CUPS (resetting the configuration file, etc.), with no success. The other threads I've found on the subject seem to be more specifically addressed to folks trying to use an AirPort.
Any suggestions for what to try next?

In that case, let me elaborate on what happens when I try to set up the printer via Bonjour, in case there are any clues in the behavior that I'm seeing. The printer seems to appear twice in the "Default" pane, with Kind as 'Bonjour Shared' and Printer Names as follows:
HP LaserJet 1200 @ (hostname)
HP LaserJet 1200 @ (hostname) @ (hostname)
Selecting the first, it displays "Gathering printer information..." for a few minutes, then strikes out, suggesting Generic PostScript Printer rather than the correct driver. Whether I stick with that or select the correct driver manually and then try to print, it hangs on 'Copying print data..." (in the print queue).
Selecting the second, it gathers printer information only for a second or two before settling on Generic PostScript Printer. If I stick with Generic PostScript Printer, it hangs on 'Connected to printer...' but if I select the correct driver, it hangs on 'Copying print data...' again.

Unable to print multiple line items in Z-SAP SCRIPT

Hi ALL,
We have a scenario where in we are calling the Driver program (RFKORD50) for Document Extract(F.64), Where in we have attached the Z-Script to the program(RFKORD50),
Unable to print multiple items.
1) Checked with all the elements in STD program for printing multiple items in main window but unable to get all the items we are able to fetch only 1 item .
(&BSEG-BUZEI&,,     &BSEG-SGTXT&,,,,&BSEG-DMBTR&)
2) I have also tried with external subroutine but it also didnot work.it is fetching the latest value.
Ex: if we have 3 items say 1,2,3 first 2 items are not getting fetched it is taking 3rd item and printing it straight away(Problem is it is not going to script for fetching the first item).
see the perform which i have used
/: PERFORM ITEMS IN PROGRAM ZTFI_ZNV20296
/:USING &BSEG-BUKRS&
/:USING &BKPF-BELNR&
/:USING &BSEG-GJAHR&
/:CHANGING &V_BUZEI&
/:CHANGING &V_SGTXT&
/:CHANGING &V_DMBTR&
/: ENDPERFORM
IL &V_BUZEI&,,     &V_SGTXT&,,,,&V_DMBTR&
Please suggest me whetther we can call write_form from external subroutine. or is there any loop commands in SAP SCRIPT Form.
Regards,
Jana

Hi!
The LOOP is always within the printer program. In this case also.
Just check out the RFKORI35 include, the LOOP begins in the 215th line (in 4.6C).
SORT HBSEG BY BUKRS SORTP1 SORTP2 SORTP3 SORTP4 SORTP5
                      BELNR GJAHR BUZEI.
        LOOP AT HBSEG.
*         WHERE BUKRS = SAVE_BUKRS.
          SAVE_BUKRS = HBSEG-BUKRS.
          IF ( HBSEG-KUNNR = SAVE_KUNNR
          AND   NOT SAVE_KUNNR IS INITIAL )
          OR ( HBSEG-LIFNR = SAVE_LIFNR
          AND   NOT SAVE_LIFNR IS INITIAL ).
            CLEAR RF140-ELEMENT.
            RF140-ELEMENT = '521'.
            CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
                     EXPORTING WINDOW    = 'MAIN'
                                ELEMENT   = '521'
                     EXCEPTIONS WINDOW    = 1
                                ELEMENT   = 2.
You might try out to write your code within the 521 elemnt in the sapscript.
