HP Laserjet w Envelope Feeder

Hi there,
I have a power user who needs to print 50-100 envelopes a day. The HP Laserjet P4015 has a dedicated envelope feeder in tray #1, but we cannot seem to get that to work for more than a single envelope. The App is MS Word 2011, but the 2008 version had the same issue.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've already posted in the HP and Mactopia forums.

This issue was a bug in the printer driver for 10.6.4. This has been escalated to Engineering/Development in HP, and they promise it to be resolved in the next update to the drivers. Case 4621417946.

Printing Envelopes Other Than #10 with HP LaserJet 4240 Envelope Feeder

I'm trying to use an HP LaserJet 4240 and an HP 75-sheet Envelope Feeder to print envelopes from FileMaker Pro. HP's specifications for the envelope feeder note that it accepts "various sizes of envelopes." However, we are unable to specify any size other than #10 envelopes in the print dialog box. #10 envelopes print just fine, but choosing a different envelope size (like C5) in Page Setup and attempting to print brings up an error message saying that only #10 envelopes can be printed and asking if the document should be scaled to fit that size envelope. If you agree and continue printing, the printer shows "Service Error" on its display.
The workaround I've used so far is to put text out to the very edge of the #10 margins in FileMaker and just load larger envelopes. This leaves too large a margin, however, and I'd really like to be able to print to the actual size of a C5 envelope.
I've tried specifying a letter sized sheet of paper and setting the paper feed to "Envelope Feeder" but the printer is smart enough to know that letter paper can't go through the feeder and asks to specify a different tray.
Has anyone succeeded in specifying a custom envelope size that will print via the envelope feeder? I don't want to have to manually feed envelopes into the printer as that's why we purchased the envelope feeder in the first place!
Thanks in advance for any suggestions anyone can offer.

HP LaserJet 600 M601 doesn't want to use envelope feeder

1. HP LaserJet 600 M601
2. Windows XP 32-bit
3. Tries to print to different trays than envelope feeder when envelope jobs are sent to printer, eventually the envelope feeder shows up on the display and user can choose it to print. Then prints OK.
4. New printer.
5. HP LaserJet 600 M601 doesn't want to use envelope feeder:
Driver is configured with correct trays and printer with paper types.
User send a print job with paper size as Envelope #10 to printer, printer prompts for envelopes to be loaded in different trays, after Tray 2, and after Tray 1 then asks user to use the Envelope Feeder, instead of the just immediately printing to the envelope Feeder.
Tray configuration:
Envelope Feeder: Envelope #10, Envelope
Tray 1: Legal, Plain
Tray 2: Letter, Any Type
Tray 3: Letter, Letterhead
Hp LaserJet 600 M601 M603 PCL 6 driver version 61.114.1.10295
Firmware: 2131305_192069

Just got off the phone with HP on the very same issue using a 602dn printer. What ended up fixing my problem was downloading the HP Universal Print Driver ( www.hp.com/go/upd ). You'll want the PS driver, not the PCL6 one. When you exctract it, update your driver to the v5.4 driver. I don't know why that would have fixed it, but it did. Let me know if it works for you.

Can't select envelope feeder on HP LaserJet 4250tv

My office has an iMac running OS 10.6.4. Data and programs were transferred from an older iMac running OS 10.5.8.
The computer will no longer allow you to select the envelope feeder on our HP LaserJet 4250tn. If you try to print an envelope from Word or another program (InTouch With) and select the envelope feeder a message pops up that says "Changing the setting of Paper Source to Envelope Feeder would cause a conflict that cannot be resolved. No change will be made."
None of the other computers using this printer have this problem. There are two other iMacs using it, one running OS 10.5.8.
I'm unable to figure out what the conflict would be so that I can resolve the issue.
If you send the print job it tries to print from tray 1. If you remove the paper from tray 1 first the printer allows you to change the job to the envelope feeder.

I'm having this same issue with a P4015 and envelope feeder.
The printer is managed by MCX and has the envelope feeder checked in the driver tab. The print dialog lets us select the envelope feeder under the "paper feed" settings, but then the error pops up.
Anyone have a way to fix this?

HP Laserjet p4015 auto select envelop feeder

Client machine will not automatically select envelope feeder when printing envelopes. I have two windows 7 clients using the same driver and same versions of software printing to the same Lazerjet P4015 printer. One selects automaticly selects the envelope feeder and the other client does not. The envelope feeder is available for manual selection, but the print job is not automatically directed to the envelope feeder like on the other client machine. I’ve tried reinstalling driver and software with no luck. Any ideas?
Both machines are running windows 7 professional (64bt) and office 2013.

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.

Envelope Feeder for HP Officejet Pro 8500

Does HP (or anyone) make an envelope feeder for the HP Officejet Pro 8500?

HP's drivers for that model are only supported for Tiger and Leopard. If you want to use the printer you will need to upgrade your OS X system.

Using Envelope Feeder

I'm trying to print a B5 envelope using an envelope feeder on an HP 4250n. Whenever I try to change the source tray to Envelope Feeder and print I get the following error:
"The Paper Source option, Envelope Feeder, is not available when the destination paper size is set to C31A79FA-689A-4E68-B6D2-C84008F6099B. To scale to fit to #10 Envelope, select Continue. To keep Paper Source at its previous setting, select Cancel."
I've changed the default size for the envelope feeder in printer properties to both B5 or Any Size, and it still gives me the above message and only wants a #10 envelope. Can anyone help?

HP LaserJet 4 with envelope feeder (C2001A)

When printing a letter or document, the printer will print out 2 envelopes with the following printing on it: %12345X@PJL COMMENT HP LaserJet 4 @PJL SET PAGEPROTECT = OFF @PJL SET PAGEPROTECT=AUTO @PJL SET...
A lot of times this occurs when you first turn on the printer. Any ideas on how to stop this. We are going through envelopes like crazy. My employer just put together a new computer for me and installed Windows 7. Thanks.

The HP 4 printer has a JetDirect card in the back of it. The JetDirect card has a 10BaseT ethernet which I connected with an ethernet cable to an airport express base station. The express unit communicates with the main airport unit in my home.
Many years ago I worked for a company that rebuilt macintosh computers and hardware for resale. I rebuilt this HP printer from spare parts and added the JetDirect card at that time and have not had any major problems with the unit until now. It had no problems or printing errors when I was running 10.4.11.
I neglected to mention that after the printer would not work with 10.5.8 I went back and tried to reinstall the optional printer driver package on the original 10.5.1 installation DVD. When this did not work either, I downloaded the HP print driver package available from their website. Could I have somehow screwed this up by installing the incorrect or uncompatible print drivers?
Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.

Laserjet 600 M601 (CE990A) won't automatically print from envelope feeder

All I want to do is have the envelope automatically print (without me walking over to printer and hitting the OK button).

Figured it out. In Word, under printer options, change feed from to envelope

Acrobat 9.0 Scan From HP Color LaserJet 2840 Sheet Feeder

Running Windows 7 32-bit on HP computer and HP Color LaserJet 2840 all-in-one.
Attempting to scan from sheet feeder and getting pages clipped at bottom. Windows Scanner program works correctly.
The Acrobat 9.0 Pro scanner setup (WIA, not TWAIN) only allows me to select "automatic" paper size - no other paper size options are presented. Acrobat was recently reinstalled; all software is updated to current revision levels.
Any ideas?

Experiencing the same issue. Mac OS X 10.8.5, HP Easy Start Version 1.1.1 (33) Correctly identifies my HP product, searches for and suggests the appropriate drivers (I'm assuming), and fails when clicking Install. Dialog box says the same exact message as the previous post. Network is obviously working. Can we get direct links to these driver downloads? Essential Software version 4.0.0.32HP Scan version 4.7.0.46 Can't find them anywhere on the HP site. Thanks.

LaserJet 2100 Paper Feed Issue

Our company has an HP LaserJet 2100 printer. The problem is every 10 pages or so, the paper will feed through crooked causing the print to be off center and the edge to become crinkled. I replaced the paper with a different ream and a different stock, verified there is no paper bits in the path by completely removing the Registration Assembly, etc. and cleaning the paper path.
My question is could this be due to the rollers? I would just go ahead and replace them but it is quite a process to obtain replacement parts and if this doesn't fix it, I have wasted a lot of peoples' time and money. Any information would be appreciated, thank you.

I am having the exact same issue. Did u ever get this figured out?

LaserJet 4L paper feed jams.

As the LaserJet 4L picks up the paper from the paper tray, it jams. It has done this before and I have been able to fix it by opening the drawer and turning the wheel behind the black plastic rectangular thing on the far left and "messing" with the "rubberized" thing just to the right that seems to pick up the paper.
After attempting to fix it, the printer will usually print one page and then jam on the next page.
Love the printer, don't want to put it out to pasture.

Mine was picking up the paper then jamming just as it passed the main feed wheel. Ussually the first page would print but then the second page would stop right as the paper started passing under the smoked plastic sheild on top. Finally fixed it by taking things appart and cleaning the two solenoids that control the feed events. One solenoid controls the D wheel that pickups up the paper - you can see the little metal lever against the D wheel when the paper tray is removed - the other is hidden inside the main roller assembly. Both the solenoids used some type of bumper tape (to stop the metal to metal clicking) that has deteriorated and left a sticky adhesive behind. This sticking is what throws off the timing and causes the jam. This adhesive need to be cleaned off and the machine should run again as new. I've had my 4L for 20 years, and hated to throw it out, it otherwise still prints great and the toner can be had cheap. Just fixed mine and it once again running perfect. Now I'm interested to see just how long I can keep this workhorse going. kudos to the old HP.
I took a bunch of pictures of the disasembly process if anyone is interested. Tricky at first, but only took 5 minutes the second time. (I only found the one solenoid the first time and had to go back in for the second)
