HP LaserJet P2015 - Auto papersize selection with 3rd tray installed?

Hi,
Our office just bought an HP LaserJet P2015, and installed a third paper tray that we had to order from HP. In the pref's pane for the printer, I have checked the "Tray 3" check box. We have legal size paper in tray 3, and letter size in tray 2 (the built in tray).
No matter whether the page setup is set to letter or legal, every document prints from tray 3 on legal size paper. Is there a way to make the printer auto-select the correct paper size?
Thank you,
Tom

I initially called HP tech support on this issue, and was told that HP's printer drivers for Mac did not support this feature (even though the hardware was capable of it). Turns out that was BS (and the tech support guy I talked to clearly knew very little about it). HP's network printers have a built-in web server. You log-in by going by going to the IP address using Safari or your preferred browser. You can turn on and set up these options, and more, via the web-server. Easy as pie, once you know what to do.

Dual Boot Selection with two SSD Installed

I have two SAMSUNG SSD's installed in the W540.
SSD #1 -- Microsoft Windows 7 Professional
SSD #2 -- Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate
The SSD's had a complete install of each Microsoft Windows operating system without using the dual boot manager. I select teh SSD to boot from by using teh F12 key at boot time.
On my previous computer (HP EliteBook Workstation 8560w), the BIOS had a option to display a boot selection menu for me to select from without having to manually select the option to display. The boot selection menu gave me 20-30 seconds to select a alternative boot option. If I did not respond it woudl boot to the primary drive.
Can the Lenovo W540 be setup the same way? I can find no options in the latest BIOS.

I am honestly dubious that your previous HP machine had anything in the BIOS to provide this "Boot Manager" functionality you've described. Your description is exactly what Boot Manager in Windows does, which probably what was in effect on your HP machine.
Now you say you installed two separate versions of Windows on two separate drives, and without involving Windows Boot Manager. That suggests to me that you unplugged the other SSD when you did each install, so that the Windows installer didn't even know about the other bootable OS when doing its current install. If it had seen the other pre-existing bootable Windows, then the second install would have triggered the creation of a 2-OS boot menu (identical to what you say you saw on your old HP machine). You could still have two bootable Windows, on two separate drives (or, you could also have installed to two separate partitions on one drive if you wanted to), and at boot time Boot Manager would present the menu to you and you'd select one or the other. The most recent Windows to get installed would probably have made itself the "default", so that after 10-30 seconds it would auto-boot to that Windows if you didn't arrow up/down and press ENTER to select the other Windows for this particular boot.
The BIOS of the machine has a "boot sequence" setup, and one of your two SSD drives MUST be first, in front of the other. So at boot time by default (in the absence of F12 to select a boot device) the BIOS would normally go to THAT "first" drive in the boot sequence list, locate the "active" partition on that drive (where Boot Manager is assumed to live), and start the boot process. If Boot Manager sees a 1-OS boot menu, it just goes to that partition (as C, where Windows lives on that drive) and starts Windows. If a 2-OS boot menu exists, Boot Manager presents it to you and you decide which Windows you want to boot to.
When you push F12 at boot time, you simply say to the BIOS "let me pick which of my drives I want you to go to, to then find the "active" partition on that drive to kick off the boot process". Since you did two completely independent Windows installs, I would say that you probably have a "system reserved" partition (which is marked "active") on each SSD, along with a C system partition (for Windows) on each SSD. So you can actually boot to either drive, via F12, or you can just let the machine boot to whichever one you know to be first in the boot sequence list.
But... if you'd simply installed your second Windows to the second SSD while the first Windows/SSD was still cabled and visible, the second Windows install would have done everything you're now asking to be done. The existing 1-OS boot menu (on the first SSD) would have been seen and updated by the Windows installer, to add the second Windows to the menu which would thus now be a 2-OS boot menu. The second Windows would get installed wherever you wanted it to get installed (i.e. to the second SSD), and all would be well with the world.
Note that had this taken place, no second "system reserved" partition (marked "active", and housing the second copy of Boot Manager) would have been created on the second SSD with the second installed Windows. The existing "system reserved" (marked "active", and living on the first drive in the BIOS boot sequence list) would simply have had its boot menu updated from 1-OS to 2-OS, and you'd be home free right now.
This is exactly how Boot Manager works. I'm sure your old HP machine had such a setup, with your two Windows installed sequentially over time, and with the second one recognizing the first one's existence and adding itself to the boot menu to produce a 2-OS boot menu which is what you saw. That wasn't from the BIOS. It was from Windows Boot Manager handling a 2-OS boot menu.
So, what can you do now? Well, technically, you only need one "active" partition (i.e. "system reserved", where Boot Manager lives) on the first SSD in your BIOS boot sequence list. You won't need the second "system reserved" which in my opinion was probably created (unnecessarily) when you did your second Windows install with the first SSD temporarily disconnected.
But the goal here is to get the 1-OS boot menu that's on the first SSD "system reserved" partition updated, to add the second Windows on the second SSD, producing a 2-OS boot menu. And to do that you can use a wonderful 3rd-party product named EasyBCD. It is a tool to maintain your boot menu, and you can manually do things after-the-fact (like now) which you should have done before, or simply to perform maintenance or changes.
So, with both SSD's cabled and operational (your current booted Windows will appear as C, and probably your other drive's Windows partition will thus appear as D to the current booted Windows), you run EasyBCD. It really doesn't matter which Windows is on the first SSD and that is first in the BIOS boot sequence, only that it will be the boot menu in the "system reserved" partition on that drive which will be manipulated by EasyBCD to become the 2-OS menu. You can make either Windows the default (which will auto-boot in 10 seconds if you don't select the other Windows), no matter which SSD it's on.
You can view the current boot menu (from the currently booted Windows) via EDIT. You pick which entry is to be the "default".
To add a new entry to the boot menu, push the ADD button and navigate to the drive (D) the Windows to be added lives on.
If you don't already have same, I would recommend you have a "system image" backup of both of your bootable Windows drives (to an external USB 3.0 drive, ideally), so that if you're skittish about doing this you'll at least be able to quickly and easily restore what you currently have from your backups.
But believe me, EasyBCD can be trusted to do exactly what you want to do... which is to create a 2-OS boot menu on your first drive's "system reserved" partition. This 2-OS boot menu will name BOTH of your two bootable Windows, from your two SSD drives. You won't need to push F12 to select the boot device, just let the machine go to the first drive in the boot sequence and kick off Boot Manager, and the rest will behave exactly as you are now seeking.
Let me know if you have questions. And for sure, let us know how it turns out.

HP Laserjet p2015d auto duplex printing with Windows 7 64 bit operating system

I have used the HP Laserjet p2015d with Windows 7 32 bit operating system and have been able to use the AUTOMATIC DUPLEX feature of the printer without problems.
Now, however, I have installed the 64 bit version of Windows 7 operating system and the AUTO DUPLEX does not work and is not shown as being available on the PROPERTIES menu of the printer.
Is it possible to use the AUTO DUPLEX feature of the printer with Windows 7 64 bit operating system.
All replies welcomed! Aaron in Calif.

Hi Aaron,
Make sure the Automatic Duplexing option is enabled:
Enter Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
Right click the printer icon, then click Printer Properties.
Click the Device Settings tab.
Set the Automatic Two-Sided Duplex Accessory as installed and click OK to save the change.
Now Automatic Duplexing should become available.

Laserjet CM2320 - "Load Paper" message with full tray

This printer has been working fine for about 2 months and now the only way I can print to it is to use the manual feed slot. The paper tray is full (and I've tried with a half tray as well), and it still says "Load Paper."
Any help?

This is what I found: printer eventually wants to see color ink after running months without. Steps I followed were: remove ink cartridges. Remove printer head (raise handle at left) and clean (slosh bottom) in hot water, (did it 3 times) and wipe clean. Replace with new/full color ink cartridges and black if it's got ink still. Run clean printer head program from panel continuously until you start seeing good solid ink flowing on test paper, may even run alignment program at this point. Turn off printer, if you get Load paper error, hit OK, allow alignment to run, and if heads have been previously cleaned satisfactorily (all colors show up), alignment will show success, and the next time you start printer, no more load paper error. Point being, the printer eventually wants to see or will look for color ink and in particular, cyan necessary for the alignment page, and without this the program will aparently project a load paper error and alignment failure. (which you can get aroung by keep hitting OK and cancelling the alignment)! This totally cured by problem of load paper and alignment failure. Good luck and be patient, it may take some time to effective clean, I went through all color ink and will have to purchase more !

Problems with HP Laserjet P2015

Just got our new Mini server up and running with 10.6.3 server. Have a HP Laserjet P2015 connected through USB. This printer works just fine when printing directly from the server. I then configured the printing service. I can then see the printer when I add it on the client computers (os x 10.6.3) and all looks ok. I then try to print but I fails. Looking through the logs on the client I see this:

My bad. Had the wrong protocol.

LASERJET P2015-PROBLEMS WITH PAPER FEED

We have a HP LaserJet P2015 in the office. When the paper reaches the halfway point, the printer makes a horrible sound and will not feed the paper. Anybody have any suggestion?

So, I cranked up my old PowerBook G4 (OS 10.4.11) which has the older driver for the P2015dn and the problem remains.
I have made some progress: If I want to print with paper feed from Tray 1, I pull Tray 2 out a few inches, load the paper in Tray 1, start the print job, and the yellow Attention LED flashes indicating an error. Note that the Paper Out light does NOT come on. So I press the Go button, the Attention LED goes out, and the print job completes using the forms in Tray 1 as desired.
So I'm thinking now, What Error condition? and why does clearing it make it print?
Certainly seems like a hardware problem to me as this is NOT the way the printer is supposed to work as documenetd in the User Guide.

Tray selection with HP P2015 printer

We have recently bought a new P2015 with installed the optional 2nd tray.
while this printer works very good with normal Windows functions, it seems impossible to make this printer working correctly with ABAP programs.
I tried SAP device types POST2, HPLJ4000 but paper is taken always from 3rd tray ignoring the 2nd.
I did my tests using our program which work efficiently with old HP4050, and using SAP text SAPSCRIPT-TRAYTEST (in SO10).
Is there someone who experienced the same problem ?

I have same issue like this..same page I would like to print with Tray1, Tray1. when I give check printing, It should print with both the Tray, it has different kind of papers.can you suggest me?

How to AUTO print DMS with Shop Paper without 3rd party software?

Since standard SAP cannot AUTOMATICALLY print DMS with shop paper.
Is there a way to AUTOMATICALLY print DMS with shop paper without using 3rd party software ? I've heard that there's a user exit or Function Modules that we can use so this will be possible. We don't really want to deal with 3rd party software if we can avoid it.
Has anyone resolved this problem without using 3rd party software?
Thank you,
Sam

It would easier to get an ABAPER to debug the manual process and then use those function modules etc in the modified program.
The ability to print attached documents exists as a manual process of navigate and click, the process is as follows:
1.     Access transaction IW32 (or IW33).
2.     Enter order number (initial screen).
3.     Click enter (change order central header screen).
4.     Select the operations tab page (change order operation overview screen).
5.     Select the relevant operation (change order operation overview screen).
6.     Click the PRT icon (change order operation overview screen).
7.     Select the PRT (PRT list of operation screen).
8.     Click the PRT display button (PRT list of operation screen).
9.     Click the print button (display document screen).
The process prerequisites are:
     Work order created with assigned PRT document.
     PRT documents.
     DMS configuration to allow document to be opened and printed.

Does LaserJet P2015 work with JetDirect?

Hello,
I work at a school that has a LaserJet P2015 that we want to put on the network. Is it possible to use a JetDirect print server? If not, is it possible to upgrade it? I'm just trying to find some way of hooking it directly into the network without having to use a local computer to act as print server.
Thanks

How can I print an envelope from the template Cards and Invitations on my HP Laserjet P2015?

I have been trying to print an envelope in Pages 09 on my mac from the template called Cards and Invitations. I select a template that is 5.75 x 8.75 inches. When I go to print this envelope with my HP Laserjet P2015 and correctly load it as the manual says, using tray 1, etc., the envelope does not print correctly. The preview shows the correct orientation, but it doesn't print correctly. I have seen that many others have requested information about printing in Pages. Has this situation been corrected yet? The #10 envelope template under Business forms in the template section, works fine. My printer supports envelopes of various sizes, so it must be something in the software for Pages that is the problem. Perhaps you can enlighten me on this problem. Thanks,
judithfromaz

Judith
Perhaps you can enlighten us as to what "does not print correctly" actually means.
Miss-spells your name? or what?
How have you set up your Page set-up?
It has to agree with how you are feeding the envelope in and what printer driver you are using.

HP Laserjet 4mp won't print with Snow Leopard

My great Laserjet 4mp prints just fine with OS 10.5.8 but not with Snow Leopard (10.6.2) on my new iMac. Have spent three plus hours with senior level Mac Techs to no avail. The printer screen shows the correct printer and driver and indicating valid connection, but when attempting to print I get the message "Unable to print, try again in 30 secs". Since 10.6 doesn't have Appletalk, am unable to use it; techs have tried to use the 4mp driver supplied with Snow Leopard and also downloaded it separately from the web site. We (they) have also tried using all methods (IP, Daemon, and HP Jet Direct using Ethernet and Serial to USB connections). Techs have talked with HP techs and have no other solutions. The security system is off. Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks!

I've read the threads and don't understand some, but I think we (the Apple support techs and I) have tried the ones I recognize. One new idea--in a reply to a similar post someone mentioned being sure to use additional data when using the IP address-- submask address or some such, I
haven't been told to do this--should I? (I can get it from the printer readout if told what to get.) Also, in another post someone suggested deleting the OS 10.5.8 driver that was transferred when all the data from my old iMac G5 was moved over, saying that it would interfere. If true, how do I do that?
What I really need is a stepwise instruction on which connection to use (Ethernet, Serial to USB, or parallel port are the only options); which protocol to use (IPP, Line Printer Daemon, or HP Jet Direct socket, whatever they are); what to put in the Address line (the IP address is the one used by Apple techs); what to put in the Queue line (techs said to leave it blank); what to put in Name and Location blocks, if anything; and what to put in the Print Using line (techs have unsuccessfully tried Autoselect, Generic, and the HP4mp driver selected both from the Select Printer Driver option and from the driver downloaded directly from the HP web site).
I'd be grateful for this help or even advice on where I can get it! (With this new computer I still have free telelphonic Apple tech support but they've given up.) Thanks!

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

HP LaserJet P2015 not printing via network

Hi,
looking for help.
I cannot print via the network on HP LaserJet P2015. It works via USB. When I try to add the printer it is identificable by Bonjour (Nearest Printers). It tries to configure the printer and appears as being active (green dot) but when try to print it says Connecting to Printer but then reports an error message of The printer is not responding.
Any ideas on how can fix ? Thanks in advance !

You can connect to Bonjour printers in Mac OS X, just select the Printer in the Print & Fax preference pane as usual and click on Add

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.
I am an HP employee.

Select with no conditions taking long time, too many blocks, pctused?

select * from at_journal;is taking 15 seconds, which is absurd. I have similar situations with other log tables in this system.
(selecting with rownum < 5 and with first_rows hint still takes 15 seconds)
Suspicious parameters:
PCT_FREE 1
PCT_USED 99
(Some other log tables have PCT_FREE 5, PCTUSED 90)
The tables have frequent inserts, once every day all records older than 90 days get deleted.
After computing statistics:
Blocks: 42,304 (seems absurdly high)

NUM_ROWS: 505,966
After copying data without compression to new table:
Blocks: 3,785

NUM_ROWS: 505,966
The select on the new table is instantaneous.
On a side note, in general is compression for a table with frequent deletes OK? It seems OK to me.

It seems OK to me.Frequent DELETEs could be an issue because they will not reset the High Watermark, though there will not be a performance penalty because of the compression for DELETEs (the record only needs to be located for a DELETE, not decompressed). Your PCTUSED, however, is high enough so that any newly deleted record slots should be quickly reused, but... it depends on how those new records are being INSERTed. If, as Daniel says, the HWM is being effectively bypassed (Direct Path INSERTs, etc.), then the table will grow in size every day, but the volume of records effectively stays just about the same.
Have a look at how the new records are being added to that table, if it's a:
INSERT /*+ APPEND */ INTO tableA
SELECT...Then the HWM is being advanced, and the newly vacated slots from the DELETEd records are not being reused. So the table will continually grow, for roughly the same amount of data, and there'll be a proportionately longer data retrieval time.
