Just bought deskjet 1055 won't print card stock

I'm really upset most of my printing is greeting cards and this printer won't print them. what can I do?

Return the 1055 and get a printer that has a custom paper size option.

  • Mac OS X Won't Print Card Stock on Brand New OfficeJet Pro 8610 e AiO

    Hi All - I print cardstock all the time and just purchased a new OfficeJet Pro 8610 eAiO from Best Buy 2 days ago.  The salesman told me it was the best option for cardstock printing and the specs say it can handle 110lbs cardstock.  It is hooked up and printed a couple standard paper pages nicely.  But when I put in the cardstock, it made all the noises like it was printing, but then "Load Paper" shows up on the LCD screen.  We have tried unplugging it, but that doesnt do anything.  After a little bit of fiddling with the tray (pushing and pulling on all tabs and springs we see), we put the tray back in and then it prints.  But we have to do this with every print request.  I have read to select "heavy paper or card stock" in the printer properties and to disable tray 2.  I dont have a tray 2 on my printer (that I am aware of at least).  And I dont see an option for printer properties for me to change anything.  Does anyone have directions for this process?  Also - I read that the printer may work if it is kept nearly full of paper?  Has anyone had success with this?  Any help is appreciated.

    Hi KRichBC,
    Thank you again for answering my questions!
    Checking over the printer's specifications, found at this website. HP Officejet Pro 8610, 8620, 8630, 8640, and 8660 e-All-in-One Printer Series Printer Specifications. This is a supported paper size at 8.5 x 11, if the paper type is Index Card Letter.
    I also would recommend trying the solutions within this guide. An 'Out of Paper' Message Displays on the Control Panel and the All-in-One Does Not Pick Up Paper. Again please, try a custom size print to see if that will work. Create Custom Paper Sizes in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X.
    Hope this information helps you, and hope to hear from you soon!

  • My iBook i just bought from USA won't connect to my wireless

    My iBook i just bought from USA won't connect to my wireless that my iMac works on. Please help I'm seriously clueless and its driving me crazy!
    I just says error when i type in the key and invalid password when I type in it in network assistant! ):): It comes up as WAP being the only option when I click the network name. but i don't actually know what WAP means....

    Go to Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > System Profiler to tell the MHz rating, how much RAM is installed, and what type of optical drive it has.
    To run Repair Permissions, go to Utilities again, and click on Disk Utility. Choose the named hard drive ("Macintosh Hard Drive" unless it's been renamed), and click on "Repair Permissions."
    What encryption are you running on your network? Do you have a router? If so, it needs to be set to a mode that will work with the 802.11b standard, since that is what the iBook's original AirPort Card uses.

  • I just bought a Quantaray All-in-one card reader.  It does not work with my Macbook OSX.

    I just bought a Quantaray All-in-one card reader.  My Macbook OSX does not seem to read it.  I have tried attaching it with iphoto on both before and after attaching the card reader to the computer and also have tried another card.  Directions say that a green light should come on to prove that connection has been made; I only get a red light.  I am Europe with no help and am desperate. Can anyone out there please help? Thanks.

    There is no way to use the Thunderbolt display with a computer that has no Thunderbolt port.
    Swap the display for the Mini DisplayPort version

  • Officejet pro 8600 will not print card stock

    I just purchased the Officejet Pro 8600 and cannot print card stock.  I read another HP troubleshooting page and tried to run 100 copies of blank paper through to "calibrate" the printer as suggested by HP technical support.   There was a suggestion to disconnect the tray 2 paper tray but I also don't a tray 2.  Any suggestions?  I print card stock regularly.

    Hi breannemk,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand you are not able to print card stock on your HP OfficeJet 8600, can you please let me know the Exact model of 8600 you are using as well as the Operating system you are running. Do you get error messages when you try to print them, if yes, please let me know the error messages you run into?
    Please reply back with the requested information so we can begin troubleshooting.

  • How do I set up my HP 7520 to print card stock off Avery 8859 design???

    Trying to print business cards after designing on Avery 8859 card stock design.  HP 7520 All in one will only print a test page of thumbnails of the business cards even though it shows the correct size, etc. for the 8859 paper.
     How do I set the printer for card stock, etc. as Avery describes, and what is going wrong??  I have wasted many hours, and lots of paper, and still NO BUSINESS CARDS!!!

    Hi @klmrazek,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! 
    I noticed that you are wondering how to set up your HP 7520 to print card stock off Avery 8859 design? I am sorry for the frustration, but happy to look into this for you!
    From what I can find, the card size you are using is 2" x 3 1/2". This is an unsupported paper size with this particular printer. According to your printer specifications, here are the supported card stock sizes:
    Card type
    Card size
    3 x 5 in Index
    76.2 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in)
    4 x 6 in Index
    101.6 x 152 mm (4 x 6 in)
    5 x 8 in Index
    127 x 203.2 mm (5 x 8 in)
    However, you might be able to get around this by assigning an alternate driver, by going through this post, How to Assign Alternate Print Drivers in Different Versions of Windows, by @Shane_R. Then try a custom size print by going through this guide, Create Custom Paper Sizes in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X.
    Otherwise, I would suggest a different size of paper, within your supported sizes using the chart provided. Or you can also try contacting Avery Support, in case they may have additional software or drivers that you can try.
    Hope this information is helpful, and have a good day!

  • How do I get my Officejet Pro 8500A to print card stock?

    How do I print card stock?

    Hi Jeff1212,
    Review the following link which has the specifications regarding paper handling. If you have a card stock which is supported try cleaning the paper pickup rollers.

  • I have a Deskjet 1055. trying to print a picture, the printer squeezes the image from 8X10 to 6X4

    Hello,
        I just bought my deskjet 1055. And the first picture I tried to print I noticed that it looked squeezed. Even though the dialog box stated it was at the correct 8 X 10 format. I printed the image and NOPE not 8 X 10, but 6 X 4. Any suggestions???
    Thanks! ;D

    Something changed on your system, possibly when Google Chrome installed. It could  be many things, but what it boils down to, is it needs to go back to the way it was. Either by removing whatever else might still be left from the install, or maybe by reinstalling the printer itself.

  • New Deskjet 3630 won't print or scan

    I just bought this thing and when I try to print, it says there is a paper jam and E4 is flashing on the display. There is no paper jam. Going through the suggested fixes [fix paper jam, reinstall drivers] doesn't help. Why should I have to reinstall drivers that I just installed? Also, it will not scan. It says that the scanner is being used by something else. Absurd. I would like to use this freaking thing. It cost money.

    Hi , Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are unable to use your recently purchased HP Deskjet 3630, you are getting a 'Paper Jam E4' error message. You have checked for a jam and reinstalled the drivers with no success. Let's go ahead and try a Hard Reset: 1. Unplug all cables and memory cards from the printer. Unplug the power cord, directly from the back of the printer while the printer is still turned on.
    2. Unplug the other end of the cord from the power source.
    3. If there is a power module on the power cord, disconnect one end and reconnect it.
    4. After 60 seconds, plug the cord directly into a wall outlet (not a surge protector or battery backup as they can cause the printer to lose basic functionality over time).
    5. Plug the power cord into the back of the printer.
    6. The printer should automatically power back up. If it doesn't, turn it on with the power button.
    7. Try making a photocopy (if your printer is an all-in-on printer) before connecting any other cables to the printer.
    8. Connect any other needed cables to the printer.Are you still getting the error message, if so, I would like you to continue here: An 'E4' Error Displays (Paper Jam), this one focuses more on the cleaning of the hardware than the software. Let me know the outcome, I will watch for your reply. Thanks,

  • My Deskjet D1660 won't print part of my Word document

    Please help me!
    Yesterday I struggled for three hours to print black until I found out the cartridge ink was clogged, I cleaned it and that solved it.  I've got a HP Deskjet D1660 and my laptop is Windows 7.
    But today I was printing part of a Word document (page 24 onwards) and it just printed a couple of pages. It won't print page 26 onwards! printer says there is nothing in the queue and that the printer is ready. I've tried everything I could think of...... please help me; I think the problem is not the printer as it would printer anything else, including other Word documents. It must be something else, I just don't know what! :'(

    Hello Moyo1,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    First off, I am glad to hear you have been able to clear the clogged ink jet that was preventing the Photosmart D1660 from printing black. Regarding the current issue, not printing past a set page number, let's try and fix this for you.
    Since you have a Windows Operating System, run the HP Print and Scan Doctor. This will look into driver, software and communication problems that could be causing this.
    Let me know the results, what passes, fails, etc and I will be looking forward to hearing back from you.
    Cheers,

  • HP Deskjet F4850 won't print but scans

    I just purchased an HP Deskjet F4850. I carried out all of the setup etc on my macbook pro but the printer won't print at all. It only scans when i issue a command to scan but always have an error message in the print queue when a document is sent for printing.
    Any help will be very much appreciated.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions. I presume you meant 4580 for your model.

  • HP Deskjet 3070A won't print black ink

    Hey
    Just bought two new ink cartridges and they won't work on my printer, the text in invisible.
    the leveles on the ink are correct but the ink won't come out on the paper, I tries everything on the support page and tried tips that i read about here but it still won't work.
    help me please, thanks

    Hello dasdoos,
    Please try the below steps ..
    On the printer front panle....
    press the SETUP ( wrench icon ) > Tools > Clean Printhead.
    You might have to repeat the above step atleast for 2-3 times.
    Each time the printer would print a test report, check for the presence of Black.
    If issue still exists, then printer need to serviced.
    It didn't work and finished my other inks.
    All the people that wrote here didn't really get a solution and the people that talked to the support got another printer (a new one) - it doesn't sound like a solution to me.
    And of course most of the people dosn't have warranty anymore.
    I'll probably buy a new printer soon and it won't be HP.

  • Deskjet 1010 won't print from pdf or word files

    I have a deskjet 1010 printer.  I have a toshiba satellite laptop.  I have windows 7.  i just bought this printer.  I can print from the internet no problem, but it will not print anything from a pdf file, microsoft word, or excel.  I have reinstalled many times, using the usb, and the disk and the internet.  I have installed new drivers, etc.  I have tried EVERYTHING.  Nothing is working.  Please help.

    Hello randrinchina,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having some printing issue from microsoft word and excel.
    I suggest that we start off by running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.  If the Doctor fails, please let me know where it fails as well as any error codes that it generates.
    Write me back when you have time and I will be happy to help.
