HP printer not saving paper tray preset

Hi,
Leopard has seemingly removed my ability to set a default "paper feed" tray setting on my HP 1320.
In Tiger, I had a saved preset that always printed from TRAY 2. Leopard sees this preset and defaults to it like it should, but the print feed now says AUTO-SELECT, which prints from TRAY 3. I can manually switch it to TRAY 2 and it works fine, but I don't want to do this every time I print.
I tried making a new preset with TRAY 2 selected, but that dialog box defaults to AUTO-SELECT right when I hit SAVE.
It appears that lots of people with various HP laser printers have the same problem.
Any solutions anyone or Apple?
Thanks,
Barry

We are aware of this problem and working with Apple on a fix. I don't have any other details to share at this time, or any way of working around the problem, but I wanted to make sure you knew we are aware of it.
Just trying to help.

Built-in Fax and printing to default paper tray

Gentleones,
I have a HP LJ1320n which is connected to my iMac. The problem is that incoming faxes, when printed, cause the printer to request paper and the only way to make the printer continue is to go press the green button on the printer.
I cannot find anything anywhere which would allow me to tell the built-in faxing capability of 10.4.10 the default paper tray or page size. None of the options in printer setup affect the behavior. It always makes me press the green button.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Bill

hi again!
just had a look at my print n share app on the ipad. select your document, tap the printer icon on the top right and a new Print option box will open with all the print options, the paper tray option is at the bottom (I have attached a screenshot below) :

Not printing to correct paper tray

It seems all of a sudden when trying to print from Iphoto it is choosint the wrong paper tray, not the photo paper tray. How do I fix this?

Download and install the latest drivers for your printer model. Get it either from the manufacture's website or from Apple's Downloads site: Apple - Support - Search

My new hp photosmart printer 7510 will not print to photo paper always prints on regular paper tray

When I set the printer up , it printed a beautifl photo, now when I try to print a picture, I add in the print box 4x6 and photo paper, but it always prints on regular paper. how do I get it to print on the photo paper? I am using winows 7 and it is wireless

Lets try manually setting to the photo tray:
- Click the Start orb -> Click Devices/Printers
- Find and right click your printer -> Click Printer preferences
- Select the Paper/Quality Tab -> in the "select paper source" choose the photo tray
- Set the paper size (the next option down) accordingly
Let us know if it helps or not.
Best of Luck!

Hello trwhite,
Please take a look at this document, which has links with step-by-step instructions on how to print various things from various places (computer, phone, tablet, etc.). This document shows how to print photos saved on your computer, which I suspect is the specific document you are looking for.
Please let me know if this helps answer your question.
Good luck!

HT4356 I have just updated my Epson printer to one which supports air print but consider it to be a waste of money as my printer has two paper trays and there is option to choose which try...just "print" How can I print photos via AirPrint from photo tr

Hi,
First-timer on this...Just updated my printer which was less than one year old, to one which had Air Print capabilities. This one is the Epson XP605 which has two trays, one being for photos. Each time I tried to Air Print a photo, it printed from the A4 plain paper tray instead of the Photo Tray.Twice...then I came into my study and changed the printer settings to Tray 1 (photo tray) Photo paper, size 5x7 and Photo Best, but still it printed on plain A 4 paper. Would be most grateful for any help, although I did read on one Apple site that AirPrint may not be able to choose trays!!!! "may not"?? Thanks

I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.

On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.

HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401a Laser Printer Not Saving Downloaded Fonts

Hi,
we have recently purchased an HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401a Laser Printer which needs to be used with a system that downloads fonts for correct style printouts. The problem I am having is the fonts download initially which is great, but they are not saved by the printer after 1 printout so the user is having to download the fonts everytime she wants to print something.
All other printers in the office are HP2055 and work as expected saving the fonts after the initial download. I have asked the support team of the application to have a look at the situation and they say everything is setup correctly so it may be an issue with the printer. Printer is installed on a Windows XP SP3 PC.
Firware version: 20121205 (15 Dec 2012)
Driver Version: 61.140.04.14138 (1 Jan 2013)
Any help would be appeciated, thanks.
Robert

If the downloaded soft fonts are definitely not being saved (despite the download presumably terminating with a 'make soft font permanent' escape sequence), then the problem must lie in the firmware - and the only resolution is if HP releases a new version with a fix.
To be certain about which PCL5 fonts are resident in the printer, you have presumably printed off a 'PCL5 Typeface List' via the relevant front panel menu (assuming this printer has one).
Or you could send the following direct to the printer to invoke that report:
<Esc>%-12345X@PJL COMMENT Print PCL Font List
@PJL DMINFO ASCIIHEX = "040004010105020402015E"
<Esc>%-12345X
where <Esc> represents the non-graphic) Escape control-code character (the character with decimal code 27, or hexadecimal 1B), and each PJL statement is terminated with a LineFeed control-code (decimal 10, hexadecimal 0A).
Assuming that the printer is USB-connected, you could send the contents of the file (name, say, testfile.prn) holding the above to the printer using the copy command in a command-prompt session:
copy /b testfile.prn \\computer-name\share-name
where:
computer-name is the name of the host workstation
share-name is a share name of the installed Windows printer instance.
I don't have access to your model of printer, but I do use a LaserJet Pro 400 Colour MFP 475dn (MFP equivalent of M451 printer), and this does appear to retain downloaded 'permanent' soft fonts - but only until the device goes into 'sleep' mode!
So it is probably a common 'fault' (or 'design decision'?) across this family (LJ Pro 400) of printers.

User color choice not saved in export preset?

I'm currently writing my first plugin and still in a learning curve.
My export plugin has a color_well control to choose a color. I have defined a default value of LrColor(1,1,1) which works well.
However, the chosen color is not saved so every time the export dialog is used, it comes up with the default color value and the previously chosen color is lost.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Mario
Code snippet:
myPlugin.exportPresetFields = {
    { key = 'borderColor', default = LrColor(1,1,1) },
    ...more keys
function myPlugin.sectionForFilterInDialog( viewFactory, propertyTable )
    return {
        viewFactory:row {
            viewFactory:color_well {
                value = LrView.bind('borderColor'),
end

Many thanks for the reply and sorry for the delay. It took me DAYS to figure out how to save the r,g & b components.
Finally, I succeeded with this method:
myPlugin.exportPresetFields = {
    { key = 'color_r', default = 1 },
    { key = 'color_g', default = 1 },
    { key = 'color_b', default = 1 },
function myPlugin.sectionForFilterInDialog( viewFactory, propertyTable )
    return {
        viewFactory:row {
            viewFactory:color_well {
                value = LrView.bind({
                     key = 'borderColor',
                     transform = function ( value, fromTable )
                          if fromTable then
                              return LrColor(propertyTable.color_r, propertyTable.color_g, propertyTable.color_b)
                          else
                              propertyTable.color_r = value:red()
                              propertyTable.color_g = value:green()
                              propertyTable.color_b = value:blue()
                              return LrBinding.kUnsupportedDirection
                          end
                     end
end

HP 5510xi All-In-One Printer Not Feeding Paper

I was printing a document and the paper got jammed. I removed the back panel to release the jam, but now the paper does not feed through. When I try to print something the printer acts as though it will print but it makes a sound just like when there is no paper in the tray and then a "Out of Paper" shows up on the screen.
I have tried unplugging it and re-plugging it to get it started again. But that didn't work. I cleaned the rollers and that didn't work either. I went through several things listed on the troubleshooting screen, but it still doesn't work.
If anyone can help me, please do! I have several cartridges that I have not opened and would go to waste if I cannot fix this printer.
Thanks

Unplug the power cord from the wall and the printer for 5 minutes. Plug back in and turn on.

PDF Printer not saving files; 9.5.5 (pro) with Windows 7, 64 bit

I imagine that the root of this issue has to do with compatibility between the OS 64 and and 32 bit application of Acrobat 9.5.5. The installation has been uninstalled, reinstalled, and fully repaired. Initially, while printing from powerpoint (but also any other source, including chrome, firefox, or from acrobat's own interface), the PDF printer would output a generic error about the "current printer setup". After reveiwing the event log, a sidebyside 40 seemed to be causing the problem. I followed the solution posted at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/a4c36078-6419-4424-8a43-ff3832786 b59/many-sidebyside-78-errors-with-acrobat-9-designer, but with no luck. I then went and installed the PDF printer manually using the adobePDF.inf file. This removed the generic error, but now when converting using the PDF Printer, no file is saved and no error dialog appears. Nothing is showing in the event viewer either. Print-to-pdf works, but the user needs specific formatting that occurs while printing. Any ideas what may be occuring?
Running 9.5.5 Adobe Pro on a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit system.

Let's step back a bit. First, since you have apparently been successful at installing the printer let us see if it works. Open and application and go to the print menu and select Print-to-file for the Adobe PDF printer. Assuming that is successful, open the file that is created (usually a PRN extension, though it is a PS file) in Distiller. Do you get a PDF now, or errors about the creation?
If the PDF is created, use ctrl-alt-del>task manager to see if Acrotray is running in the background. If not, go to the Acrobat (or Distiller) folder and start it. If you can not start it then Acrotray is the problem that you are having. It might be that it will work if installed in a 32-bit compatibility mode.

HP Photosmart Premium C309g Can not print Photos using small paper tray.

When I try to print using small paper tray, I get a message that states: "out of paper, add paper to main tray".
I have had this printer about 18 mos but have never tried printing found the small paper tray.
Does anyone have a solution to this ??

Hi,
Fisrt off all check if the paper tray is correctly on the unit, so take it of and replace it. Second go into printing preferances, select photo printing and find where you can select tha paper source, put it on phototray and try again.

My hp photosmart C310 continues to spit our blank prints until it empties the paper tray

My Hp photosmart C310 for no reason will start spitting out blank prints until the paper tray is empty. I can load paper all day and it continues printing blanks with just a D up in the corner. No prints are in Q

Hi letterleaver,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I see your HP Photosmart C310 continuously prints out pages with a D on the top of the page, there is nothing in the print queue and if you reload the paper it will continue until the paper runs out. I can understand your frustration and would like you to complete the steps below:
1. Do a hard reset on the C310a and make sure to plug directly into a wall outlet, no surge protectors or power bars they can cause the printer to remain in error state or cause it to lose basic functionality over time. Start here: Resetting the Printer
2. I know you said there is nothing in the print queue, but there may be something stuck in the print spooler, I would like you to complete the steps listed here: Print Jobs Stuck
3. Now run the HP Print and Scan Doctor- It was designed by HP to provide users with the troubleshooting and problem solving features needed to resolve many common problems experienced with HP print and scan products connected to Windows-based computers.
Please let me know the outcome, I will watch for your reply.

How can i print on reg paper instead of photo paper?cc=us

if i try to email or send something to the printer, it will not print on regular paper. it asks to put paper in the photo tray. is there a way to have it print from the regular paper tray?

Hi migvoltzzz,
I don't know the model of your printer, but if it is defaulting to the photo tray, then this printer unfortunately does not support printing to the paper tray with photos via ePrint.
