HP2015 driver: problem printing on transparent paper in Ubuntu

Hi.
Product name: HP2015
OS: Ubuntu 13.10
Problem: low fuser temperature for transparent paper
Details:
I am using HP2015 for printing on 90g/m2 transparent paper like this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Canson-Calque-Tracing-Paper-Pads/dp/B00F38Q8CI
Under Windows, with HP Universal Printing PS driver (v5.7.0), i set paper type to cardstock 176-220g and it works fine.
With this paper type the fuser makes enough heat to bake the toner into the surface. All is ok.
The problem is with Ubuntu: I need it to make it working under linux.
I prefer printing from terminal, setting options for printing as command parameters.
To check available printing options I issued:
$ lpoptions -p HP_Laserjet_P2015 -l
I get a lot of options, icluding this list of paper types:
MediaType/Media Type: Unspecified Plain HPMultipurposePaper HPOfficePaper HPAllinOnePaper HPLJPaper HPPremChoiceLJPaper Preprinted Letterhead Transparency Prepunched Labels Bond Recycled Color Light Heavy90105 *Cardstock106177 Envelope
The problem is that in this list I don't see Cardstock176220 paper type (which worked for me under Windows).
I tried with all paper types: the fuser is not enough hot to bake the toner and the toner is falling off the surface after printing.
Please help. Maybe some other driver exists?
Any solution to raise fuser temp for printing from terminal on transparent paper?
Thanks in advance,
Victor

Hi @RobynIbarra693
Can you scan an example of one of these pictures and post it here so I can see what is happened? I wonder if maybe something else in the settings might need to be tweaked. Are you printing landscape or portrait? What program are you printing from and does this happen when you print form more than one program?
I suggest trying HP Photo Creations. Here is some helpful information to help get you started, HP Photo Creations Software support. The first link is the free download, the second link includes how to information and a getting started guide.
I believe this will be the photo miracle you have been looking for!

Problems printing on custom sized paper.

Hello all,
I am trying to iron out my problems with printing on custom sized tractor paper (using an impact printer). Every time I print a test page, the printer behaves as if it was loaded with tractor paper that is 11 inches long, rather then the 7 inches that the forms are on.
Before I list my code, let me explain everything that I have done. I am running Windows XP, so I went to the Printers and Faxes folder, clicked File > Server Properties, and created a custom form size (8.5" wide by 7" long with zero margins). Going back to the Printers and Faxes folder, I right clicked on the impact printer and clicked properties. From there I clicked the Device tab and selected my custom form that I had created for the tractor feed section. I then clicked the general tab and clicked the printing preferences. From there I clicked the Paper/Quality tab and selected Tractor Feed for the source. Then I clicked the advance button and selected my custom form for paper size. I also changed the resolution to 360X180.
The printer itself has hardware settings for paper size. I've went through the menu and selected 7 inches for the form length.
Now going to the code, I created the paper object and set it size to 612 for width and 504 for height. I also changed the ImageableArea to the size of the paper (which I think eliminates the margins), and set its orientation to 0, 0. I then set the paper object to the PageFormat, and used drawString to test my settings.
Program compiles fine. When I run it and click the button, I select the correct printer. I also went through the preferences to make sure that all the setting are correct (especially to make sure my custom form is selected.). The closest I can get the string to the corner of the page is 75, 80. On the paper it measures 7/8" from the left, and 1" from the top.
I have tested my custom form settings with word 2007. I was able to get the text on the very corner of the paper, and the printer was able to determine where the next form started. I believe that my problem lies within my code. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I have a similar code to print a jasperreport,
when I ran on Windows, the report is printed normally, all the document appeared, but when I ran on Linux (Debian), the document is missing some parts of report, printed without lines, appear only the middle of report. I don't understand what happen, on windows is ok, but linux is wrong. I tried the margins, but didn't work.
Some one have an idea that can help me?
sorry my english, but I need print in linux.

PhotoSmart Premium C309a driver problem in Win10 at double side printing

My problem is as follows: I created a catalog in MS Publisher 2013 for A4 paper format with 2 page per paper. I selected booklet side-fold type and double side printing. MS Publisher prepared all pages in correct way. I even created PDF versuions of such pages. But each time when I print pages, the printer keeps make them smaller (I think it scale them for Letter format) despuite the fact I changes in printer preferences A4as default paper source, all documents are in A4 format etc. As result, the printed pages are shifter from the center page on the left side, which is ok for one side printing but cannot work for doyuble side printing as shift is in different directions for result paper. Additionally, I cannot any more print on DVD or CD surfaces as the driver doesn't support sauch a feature. Please let me know how I can replace the native Windows 10 driver with the one for Windows 8.1? Or is there any other solutions except using another OS? Thx, Vlad.

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I noticed that your HP PhotoSmart Premium C309a is having a driver problem in Windows 10 when printing double sided. I am happy to help! According to this guide, How to Use the 2-Sided Feature, it looks to me as if the double sided printing feature is only available to use with regular plain white paper. (Letter sized), which could be why the printer is scaling the size to letter. You could possibly try using an alternate driver, by going to this post, How to Assign Alternate Print Drivers in Different Versions of Windows, by , and follow the steps for Windows 8, as they will work on Windows 10. Then you could attempt a custom size print. But as mentioned previously, I am positive that the 2-sided feature for this printer is for Letter sized paper only, and cannot guarantee this will work. Hope this answers your question, and thank you for posting! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

Windows 7 - HP Laserjet 8500 print driver problem

I have tried everything imaginable to correct this HP 8500n print driver problem with no success, please help!
I cannot correct or get rid of a reoccurring “Incompatible Print Settings” error dialog box message that repeatedly states that “There are one or more conflicting settings. One of the settings is: Output Bin: Mailbox 1, Accessory Output Bin: Not Installed”. The radio button options are “Restore my previous settings or Keep this setting, and I will change it later”. This same dialog message repeats 13 times for all the other various conflicts each time you click on printer properties to change to 2 sided printing or any other printer settings. This printer does not have any of these features attached or set into it.
I am a volunteer that manages a number of computers on our small church LAN, 2 computers operating on MS XP-SP3, 2 on MS Windows 7 Home Premium and my 2 problem computers that came pre-installed with Vista Home Premium of which I have performed an HP OEM upgrade to Window 7.
I have isolated this print driver problem to the Vista operating system and even when computers are upgraded to Windows 7 does not correct this driver error. I have also tried every possible print driver variant of the HP 8500, HP8550, PCL, PS to include the Microsoft versus HP versions with no success. In each case I get this error yet neither of the XP computers or the computers that had Windows 7 as a original operating system have no problems with their print drivers for this printer.
Yes, I have repeatedly searched and upgraded the operating system and print drivers. In desperation I have even tried to find the correctly behaving Windows 7 print driver and transfer it to these Vista upgraded to Windows 7 machines. However I could not isolate the driver location.
The only thing I can conclude is that this errant HP print driver was resident within Vista and remains resident even after a HP OEM Windows 7 upgrade. Additionally, all of these computers are configured to access this printer via its static IP address on the network. The XP computers are 32 bit, all of the Vista upgraded to Win 7 and OEM Win 7 computers are 64 bit machines all with respective OS.
Can anyone please help me correct this problem?

Hi,
Unfortunately I can't see your uploaded image yet as it is awaiting approval from HP.
From what I can see you are correct that HP does supply drivers for this printer and that the drivers for your printer are already included with Windows 7. On the machines affected, try the procedure below to see if it helps at all
Next download revo uninstaller on the link below and install it.
http://www.revouninstaller.com/download-freeware-version.php
Disconnect the printer from the PC.
Run Revo and see if it finds any HP Printer Software installed. If it does, right click the software icon and select uninstall. During the process you may be asked to delete registry entries. If you are, just select all and click delete. Do the same for any left over files and folders. Once completed, reboot the PC.
Re-connect your printer to the PC and follow the guide below.
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?&objectID=c02536257
If this helps you will need to repeat the process on each of the affected machines.
Best wishes,

Print driver problem with OS 10.4.6

I recently installed 10.4.6 and ever since have been unable to print via a network on a Lexmark Optra T614 (duplex). All was working fine until the upgrade to 10.4.6. I have downloaded a driver from Lexmark's website and successfully installed it to my system via the wizard - message was "you have successfully installed . . . ". However cannot find it to install through the Print Centre. I am running it through a router shared with a PC (Windows 2000). No problems at the Pc end. As I said prior to purchasing 10.4.6 all was working fine. I have tried to set up to print through the local network via the PC - without success. At one point (not sure what I did) actually got the Mac talking to the printer. The lights were activated and it made a few attempts but then cancelled out. I then tried something else and it didn't work, so now I am back to where I was when I started. Can you help with this one Greg? regards Ian

Hi Greg, Still no answer to my printing problem.
The Optra T driver is probably right.
I trashed the drivers and did a fresh download and reinsatlled. It is an Optra T driver.
Since you can't print using generic postscript, I don't think you
have a driver problem. If the printer supports LPD or
IPP, you probably need to enter a device queue name
in Printer Setup. (No queue name for HP Jetdirect
protocol) L1, P1, LPT1, and print are common queue names
I have set up so that Printer Name is 192.168.0.200. This automatically selected Lexmark Optra T. Also the queue name appeared as 192_168_0200-1. Host name was blank and Driver Version 10.4 and PPD File Version is 10.4.3.3.0. I tried to print the Print box showed Preparing . . then Processing Page 1 and dissapeared in the normal manner. I opened the Printer Monitor (in the dock) and it showed the job in the queue as it should and the Status showed: printing. The blue bar scrolls and the message Connected to 192.168.0.200 comes up. The printer shows no sign of receiving the file. I have done this numerous times. I have also keyed in the computer name in the location and still no go - just the same outcome. The computer name is ian-brownlees-computer.local.
Look in the printer manual or google for it.
Unfortunately I don't have a manual but have been trying to locate one.
Any further clues??

I set the preferences to photo paper photo paper dispenser, but it still prints on the regular paper instead of photo paper? Also set size to border less 4" by 6'. Thanks for your help! Ozz

The list you saw that shows what drivers are available from Apple Software Update is based on what drivers are supplied by the vendor to Apple. So it would appear that HP has not provided Apple with a scanner driver for 10.9 (known as an ICA driver), or provided an update if one was available for a previous version of OS X, so that you can scan from Image Capture.
I checked the HP web site for your model and they don't show any scanner driver or scanning software. If there was a scanner driver, you would be able to use Vuescan.
As for the Scan button not working, the following is documented by HP
Scanning to the computer from the printer control panel is not available when you scan with Preview, Image Capture, or Printer browser methods. You must use HP Scan software to scan from the printer.
But there does not appear to be any version of HP Scan software available for 10.9. So unless someone else has some workaround, it seems that you won't be able to scan with this model of HP.

Problems print with Canon i850/ which driver?

Ever since I installed Leopard, I have had printing problems with the color on my Canon i850 printer. Usually this has to do with magenta. If cleaned the printer, etc., and didn't have this problem in Tiger. Sometimes magenta will print in some colors, like purple, but sometimes it will print red, or will print red as green. I looked under System Preferences and there are two printers, an i850 and an i850 Gutenprint...which one should I be using? I am using the i850. Why is it that if I have red in a document, one place it may print and another it won't and the same red is selected? Also, where is the printer driver stored? Anyone also have any ideas on a great printer with Leopard? I do mostly black and white, but do color for pictures, not a huge amount, Xmas letters, etc. Just want a reliable, economical printer that the ink isn't outrageous, or is color laser the best? Any ideas or help will be appreciated! Thanks.

The printing of red as green doesn't sound right. Green is made from cyan and yellow. Red is made from magenta and yellow. So to get green instead of red doesn't sound like a cartridge/print head is faulty, which is sometimes the case for these types of problems. It sounds like you either have a driver problem or a colour management issue.
The i850 driver you are using is the Canon supplied version. Since this is giving you trouble, then I would try the Gutenprint version. If that still causes colour issues, then the colour management is most likely at fault. Did you upgrade from Tiger or do a fresh install?
As for the driver location, have a look at ./Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinters for the Canon driver. Will need to check the Gutenprint location (I'm at home on Tiger). Maybe someone else can chip in...
Re the new printer, I can vouch for the Canon iP5300. It has a large black tank for text printing and separate C M Y K tanks for photos.
Colour laser gives better text printing, but the photos aren't as good. Also, the purchase price is often more, although the toner cartridges have higher yields than ink. Have a look at this link

Quality problem printing in Windows 8.1 with CP1215

Recently purchased new laptop with Windows 8.1 Pro. I have had my printer for years, CP1215, via USB, without having any problems printing to it with Windows 7 Pro. I first noticed that the quality of print I receive out of my printer on the new laptop is darker. The darkness comes from black lines going diagonally across the page. I would estimate at approximately a 2 degree angle. I would also estimate that the lines appear every 4th pixel row. I have attached 2 images, printed on 2 different printers. The one on the top is the one off of my CP1215, the one on the bottom is a color copier in my office. I have zoomed in incredibly on the prints to show the lines. Just never had problems with this printer in pre Windows 8.1 days. Tried installing ljcP1215-HB-pnp-win64-en. Tried uninstalling printer, rebooting, then installing, still same problem. I also have another problem with printing, but suspect it is more of a Microsoft problem. My laptop thinks a network printer goes offline, stopping and restarting the print spooler service seems to fix that. I had to make a .bat file on my desktop to do it, it happens at least 2 times in an 8 hr work day.

Hi paulie99, Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! I understand the printer isn't printing properly from Windows 8.I will be happy to help you. Check your printer driver settings. 1. On the File menu in the software program, click Print.2. Select the driver, and then click Properties or Preferences.3. Click the Paper/Quality tab.4. In the Type is or Size is list box, select the correct media type or size. Set the quality to ImageREt 2400. I have provided a document to install the Windows print driver to see if that makes a difference.Installing the Printer Software in Windows 8.1 for a USB or Network Connection. For the network printer I would setup a static IP address. Please let me know the results if you are still having issues. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.Have a great weekend!

Problems printing from iPhoto 6: Page setup & Preview

I am having trouble printing from iPhoto v6. For starters, the miniture preview frame in the print screen does not conform to the paper size selection or image orientation. (It is always a big square.) Only part of a 4x6 image image is seen in the frame. This makes predicting the final result impossible. To make matters harder, the print dialog does not remember what paper size was last used and many internal "Advanced" options reset the paper size to "letter". Simple choosing any printer preset resets the paper size. Switching from advanced options to the iPhoto options seems to alter other selected options as wlll.
I have the most current driver for my printer. I have no problem printing from Aperture or Photoshop. I have custom color profiles and am not entirely a novice, but I am wasting much paper and ink and spraying the inside of my printer!
The use of the native iPhoto print routines seems mutually exclusive with using Advanced options. I understood that the first iterations of iPhoto wanted us to depend on the Mac Print routines, and it was always a little touchy but I would have hoped earlier problems would have been sorted out by now. I want to print my own pictures!
Much confusion and no place to find good instructions. For example, should I be using "Full Page" or "Standard Prints" Standard settings in the print interface? There appear to be several places to select print sizes but they do not seem linked together nor is it obvious which one is determinitive. Under color options do I select Color Corrections <none> or <Colorsync> which then forces me to use driver recommended by Canon despite the fact I have a custom profile identified in Color sync utility. It just isn't working for me.
Are others notiing that iPhoto print routines are no longer working for them? I would like to see the internal print routines working intuitively before additional efforts are made to facilitate purchase from outside printing sources!

goldn:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Just ran a test and I got a perfect card. Here's what I did.
1 - create the card and type Command-P.
2 - select Stylus Photo R200 under Printer
3 - click on the Advanced button
4 - in the bottom drop down menu select Paper Handling
5 - select the radio button "Use documents paper size: 7.00 in x 10.00 in
6 - now select Print Settings in the 3rd drop down menu
7 - select the type of paper you're using and the print quality you want. I used Photo and High Speed. (also used plain paper for my test)
9 - put a piece of 7 x 10 paper in the printer (yes, you'll have to trip the paper beforehand or use card stock designed for this)
10 - click on Print
11 - when the paper exits the printer quickly put it back in the printer
That will do it. Now there is a caveat. Putting it back into the printer before drying tended to get my leading edge nipped. If you use heaver card stock I don't think that will happen but just be aware. If you wait a moment to put the page, turned over, back into the printer to let the ink dry a bit, all you'll have to do is press the middle button which will be blinking red and that will feed the other side thru when you're ready.

Printing: Why are most paper types disabled in HP printer dialog from Photoshop?

Hi all.
I'm trying to create a printer profile with a GretagMacbeth EyeOne. I've found that from the EyeOne software or from Preview, all paper types are enabled in the Print configuration dialog for my HP C5100-series printer. When trying to print the test chart from Photoshop CS3 (which is necessary, because EyeOne offers no provision for printing on 4x6 photo paper), most paper types (even HP-brand ones) are disabled. It doesn't matter what paper size or source tray I choose.
For example, under the "photo paper" category, only the asterisked ones below are enabled:
*HP Premium Plus photo papers
HP Premium photo papers
*HP Advanced photo paper
HP Photo paper
HP Everyday Photo Paper, semi-gloss
HP Everyday Photo Paper, matte
other photo papers
Anyone know why papers would be disabled under Photoshop?
Thanks.

Just read this and thread 1889763 on the subject of greyed out paper types but only after two days of faffing around. I am on Snow Leopard and have just replaced a printer with an HP CC335 (also known as a C309a). Same problem. I get a full range of papers in Pages application but in Photshop there are only a couple of inkjet and photo papers and all the other media types and sub menus are greyed. I did not initally install any drivers from HP or the printer's CD as I had read the HP warning at:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01846935&cc=uk&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3 737195
A short time after setting up the printer there was a driver update to 2.3 which happned through the Apple software update although I still see v 2.2.1 when I loook in 'about this mac.' Someone on Apple's forum noted that HP had released 2.3 drivers so I downloaed and installed them from HP yesterday. I still only see v2.2.1 and of course none of this has cured the problem.
AS the printer is only a couple of weeks old I will retrun it unless there is a solution. Is there one? Anyone recommend a good all-in-one (plus fax?) that will function properly with photoshop?

Printer says to load paper when I have paper in paper tray

My HP officejet J6480 all in one printer keeps saying I'm out of paper when I try to print, but I have paper in the paper tray and have been printing for quite awhile with this printer before. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling driver, HP diagnostic tool, HP update, and turning printer off and on. The paper isn't crinkled, so I don't know whats wrong with it.

10.5.5 Update PROBLEM Printing to Xerox from inDesign

I just updated to 10.5.5 and I'm having problems printing from inDesign to a Xerox Phaser 7760. All print outs come out distorted (stretch horizontally) I called Adobe and the work around they gave me is when I hit print, under setup [Paper Size] must be set to "Defined by Driver" not the actual paper size you want to print. That now has to be set under the [Page Setup] tab. Very annoying and inexplicable.
The problem only occurs when I print to this specific printer from just inDesign. It doesn't happen with any other program or if I print to any other printers from inDesign.

That solved it. For others that are interested, you need to either go to another machine that has 10.5.4 or download that image file from somewhere and do the following.
command-shift-G in the Finder to enable you to open the hidden folder, paste /usr/libexec/cups/filter/ as the go-to line. The file your looking to replace with the old system is called pstops. I saved a backup of the 10.5.5 version before replacing it with the older 10.5.4 You will need to log in as root in order to do the replacement of the files.
I would suggest someone try a safer and easier solution. Try installing Ghostscript. You can get a Mac OS X installer for Ghostscript at _http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/foomatic_. This will leave your hidden system files intact so you don't accidently break something.
I don't guarantee that this will work, but given the solution that Justin Lancaster posted about using Rosetta brought using Ghostscript to mind. What I think may be happening is that when using the Adobe applications under Rosetta, the applications are sending PDF or PICT with PostScript to the printing system. When running natively on Intel Macs, I believe the applications are sending PostScript to the printing system. I have seen this with Adobe Reader 8. Printing from Adobe Reader 8 on an Intel Mac sends PostScript to the printing system. If Ghostscript is present on your system, it will use Ghostscript rather than the Apple supplied pstops filter.
I hope someone will give Ghostscript a try and report back. I don't have any of the mentioned Adobe applications to test this on. Ghostscript does come with an uninstaller, so it can easily be removed if it doesn't solve the problem or the issue with Apple's pstops filter is resolved.

Printing on legal size paper

I have an hp psc1210 and I can print on legal size paper from my desktop, but when I am on my laptop that is on the network, I can't print on legal size paper. If I am using word perfect, the software automatically adjusts the bottom margin to 3.48" so that only what is visable on a letter size page is printed and in word it cuts off any characters below the letter size area. Any suggestions for solving this problem?

hi there,
It seems that you have a software incompatibility between your word perfect and the psc,pls. try these steps:
add a universal driver on your computer
=open printers and faxes or printers
=click add a printer
=select add a local printer
=if your printer is connected via usb cable on your desktop, pls select on use existing ports and choose usb virtual port xxx
=if your desktop is connected via ethernet cable,pls.select create a new port and choose standard tcp/ip port and click next
(for network connection only: if it will ask to enter your ip address pls. print the ip address from your printer and enter it on the computer) and click next
=if it will ask for the manufacturer, pls. select hp on the left
=on the right side find hp deskjet 990c and click next
=use existing driver
=set as default printer
=you can rename the printer to psc 1210
=try printing again
if the issue still not resolved,uninstall and reinstall the printer software
pls. reply for further assistance
