LaserJet 1012 Prints half page

I'm trying to print a 5 x 8 page  (I've tried other custom sizes too, with the same result) from Word.  The HP LaserJet 1012 cuts the page about 2/3 of the way down.  This page will print from my other HP printers and from a Brother printer with no problems.  I've tried setting the 1012 to a setting of printing on 5 x 8 (it's already set that way in the page set up in Word), and on 8 1/2 x 11, and in both cases it cuts off the page.  What to do?

Okay, need a little more definition on the issue. When you say it prints 2/3 of the page, how exactly......does it only print 2/3 of the text when it reaches the bottom? or does it cut off 2/3 of the way down the page and leave 1/3 of the page blank? and are the borders looking normal at the same time? is it always text that is cut off or are pictures involved?

  • How can I print half pages to fit in my circa desk calendar

    How can I print half pages from iCal to fit in my Circa desk calendar?

    That depends on the program, but if it's Preview, go to Page Setup... under the File menu. Select the appropriate paper size there. Then go to File > Print... and do a Preview. If the content does not fit on the page, some printer drivers will have a Scale to Fit setting. If there is none, go back to Page Setup... and manually adjust the Scale until it fits nicely when you do a Preview.

  • Will my hp Laserjet 1012 printer work with my new Mac Mini (OS 10.7, Lion)?

    I finally have to upgrade from my Mac Mini OS 10.4.11 to a Mac Mini OX 10.7, and wonder if I have to buy all new peripherals, too.
    Here's what I have:
    HP Laserjet 1012 black and white printer
    Proview 17-inch display, PL913s
    Epson Perfection 4490 flatbed scanner. (I scan a lot of manuscript pages and must have a scanner with an adjustable top)
    Wired keyboard with numeric keypad
    Wired mouse
    Yes, I know they're old, but they work fine!
    Thank you!

    Hello Fiona6,
    I use iMac (Snow Lep) and 2011 Mini (Lion) and from both systems my results are:
    Wired keyboard & mouse - work ok, I don't like or use wireless types.
    My LaserJet 1010 - works ok (Your 1012 should also work, same series of printer).
    If your display works ok now, cannot see why it would not work. My mini works with various vga and DVI displays I have at various times attached to it.
    Don't know about your scanner though, with my all in one printer/scanner I have had to use OS X Image Capture program to scan. Might be worth a look at Epson's site to check on any software updates.
    Roy.
    Edit: Regarding display if you are getting a new mini you will need a new display adapter, minidisplayport to vga or dvi, assuming your display is one of these. This can be plugged into the Thunderbolt port on the new Macs.

  • Hp Laserjet 1012 printing via Bonjour on 10.4.6

    I recently upgraded my OS from 10.3.9 to 10.4.6 and I couldn't find and install drivers for my hp LaserJet 1012 when connected through Airport Express. Printer is visible as a Bonjour printer. USB printing works just fine, so I assume the drivers are somehow installed. I was able to use my printer through AP Express when my PB was running 10.3.9.
    Thanks for any suggestions!
    Powerbook G4 12" Rev B   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Hi, Kappy. Thanks for the response.
    Actually, it's neither article.
    The one I'm looking for appears at the bottom of a help page (Mac Help) when I do a search on "compatible printers". It's listed in the "Open this for me" sdection at the bottom of the help page and is entitled "Printers compatible with Mac OS X".
    When I click on that link, I end up at a web page that says "Looking for something on the Mac OS X site? The page you tried was not found."
    This whole exercise is turning into an absolute nightmare!!! The day before yesterday, following the suggestions in one of the Apple documents, I re-installed the HP drivers from the supplemental installations on the Tiger DVD.
    I then deleted the printer in the System Preferences and re-created it.
    When I tried to print, in OS X, it printed without a hitch! I then tried an application in the Classic environment and this also printed without a problem. I figured that my problem was solved and had been solved by the re-installation of the HP drivers. I left the printer on, as usual, shutdown the Mac, as usual, and went to bed.
    Yesterday morning, I figured I would confirm that my problem was indeed solved; just before leaving for work, I turned the Mac on, and tried to print. Guess what? It wouldn't print at all. Nothing happens other than what I've been getting since installing 10.5.2: "Waiting for device", etc...
    Next step: I'll partition one of my drives, re-install 10.4 from the original DVD and won't apply any upgrades. I won't migrate any users either but will just create a dummy user. This should allow me to print, since this setup had been running without any problems for a few years. Then I can always re=boot from that system whenever I want to print... But what a hassle!!!

  • HP Laserjet CP1525 printing test page but not other documents

    My laserjet printer is not printing any documents. When I got into the properties, the properties program freezes. For some reason the test page prints, but when I try to get anything else to print it won't do it. The IP address has not changed, but my wireless was down for a short time this AM. Can I disable to printer and then re-enable it again without having to hook up the ethernet cable to get the wireless to work correctly?

    Did that. Now I can't even print a test page. Do I have to reinstall using the ethernet cable because I do not know the steps to doing that and I just removed the printer and then reinstalled as a local printer. It doesn't seem to be connected at all now. It says its connected onthe LPT port and it is just on wireless. It still prints config pages so it's working.Can you tell me the steps to doing it with the ethernet cable?

  • My hp laserjet 6p prints test page, but not items in queue.

    My HP LaserJet 6P prints a test page when I push the button on the top, but does not print documents in the cueue.  I installed the latest drivers from HP to no avail.  I tried switching USB ports, also to no avail. I am able to delete documents from the queue.

    Please read this post then provide some details.  What operating system?  Are there any error messages on the printer or computer screen?
    If you are running Windows 7 or Windows 8 the diagnostics at http://www.hp.com/go/tools may help resolve the issue.

  • HP LaserJet 4MP Printing Blank Pages

    Hi there,
    This is perhaps OT, but a recent issue with my HP LJ 4MP is causing me great anguish and heartache.
    Suddenly, for no apparent reason, my HP is producing blank pages. It just runs and runs spewing out blank pages.
    I've tried all the IO resets and a cold reset. Unplugging and leaving idle. Unplugged the Asante bridge between the serial and the CAT 5.
    After a while I can get it to stop printing blank pages, it works fine for a while, then the interminable blank pages start again.
    Has anyone seen such an issue? Any known resolution?
    Thanks a bunch,
    Matthew

    Matthew,
    I too use HP LaserJet 4MP and AssanteTalk Bridge connected to computer via ethernet crossover cable and link from Assante to both my LJ4MP and HPDeskJet855cse, using BelKin QuikNet adapters in a string using RJ11 jumper cables.
    My HP driver software is HP8.1.1.
    I Never use "BackGround Printing".
    I Never use "DeskTop Print Monitor".
    The only time I can remember multiple blank copies is when I used to use "Print Monitor and BackGround Printing".
    Clear your preferences and get rid of Print Monitor and Don't use BackGround Printing.
    HTH.......Bob

  • HP Laserjet 4 Prints unwanted page on start!!

    The first time I print after I first turn on the printer it insists on printing a page with often just the letter "M" ot "1M" in the top L/H corner. 
    It certainly never used to.  I dont know what this is or how to stop it.
    The PC has been rebuilt several times so it's not picking it up from there.
    Can anyone tell me what it is and how to stop it?
    Thanks

  • 7150 HP only prints half page vertically

    As title indicates, we have a HP 7150 that is currently only printing half a page (vertically), ignoring all text on the right side.  It is connected via a USB (with no problems with the USB from other products).  Operating system is Vista, updated to the latest patch.  I've tried turning it off and then on, tried different Word documents, all have the same issue even from different computers.  Ran the microsoft program to fix issues and that failed to help.  No error messages on either the printer or computer. 
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance. 

    Hi CelticKate,
    I understand that your HP Envy 120 is only printing on the left side of the page. I would like to show you how to print off a Print Quality Report directly from the front panel of the printer. This will rule out an issue with the software on the computer that you're trying to print from. Please click on the link below and scroll down until you see "Solution six: Print and evaluate a Print Quality Diagnostic report and troubleshoot any defects"

  • LaserJet P2035 prints blank pages.

    It started with printing out duplicate lines that overlapped. Now all it does is print out blank pages. After each page prints out the light blinks next to the triangle symbol. And then I have to power off and power back on to clear it. I have installed the newest driver, upgraded the firmware on the printer, installed a new toner, and replaced the USB cable. Any suggestions on what to look for? I have about five of these printers and the rest are fine (so far).
    Thanks,
    Josh

    Hi @tps1020 ,
    I see that you are having issues with the pages coming out blank. You have already replaced the toner and you still have the same results. I would like to help.
    Most likely it is a hardware issue with the printer or the software, since you replaced the toner and are having the same issue.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector)
    This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation. Make sure the USB cable is connected directly to the computer.
    Unfortunately there is no hardware self test for this model. Usually to find out if it is a hardware or software issue, you can print the hardware self test to determine this.
    Try and print a test page from the printer driver.
    Did it print?
    If the issue persists, uninstall and reinstall the software, just to rule that out.

    Test the printer again.
    Are you using Genuine HP Toner?
    Is the Ready light on the printer?

  • LaserJet 1020 prints blank pages

    My LaserJet 1020 printer prints nothing but blank pages no matter what kind of print job I give it. The HP Print and Scan Doctor found nothing wrong, but when I printed a test page at the end of the Print and Scan Doctor's testing, the output paper was also blank. I installed a new cartridge because I thought the old one was out of ink, but the problem reoccurred very soon.

  • Help[: Laserjet 1300: Printing blank pages (new cartridge & drivers installed)

    Hi All, printer keeps printing blank pages, just bought a new cartridge and even re-installed the drivers- can anyone perhaps advise as to a way to resolve as I am urgently needing to print?

    Forgot to mention that I am not getting an error message either, except when I go through the motions of scanning the (blank) alignment page.  That error is related to the fact that it is blank though.
    Thanks for any assistance.

  • HP Color LaserJet 2605dn - prints black pages over print

    thanks, I pulled out all the cartridges, and they all look the same on the left side, all look to be the same, so don't see anything out of place. Wiped down the inside while everything off and out, and reinstalled cartridges.  First test print from button on back came out perfect (was so excited) so I tried a second test print, and the black came back on about half the page, then a third test print and the entire page was almost covered (no longer excited) Hopeully original and these photos get approved to help show what I'm seeing.  Here is picture of contacts:   Here is picture of the three pages printed:   

    Looks like a high voltage power supply issue with the black only.  Since the laser/scanner on this model uses 1 motor for 2 colors that would eliminate the laser/scanner.  Repair by a repair shop may cost more than the printer.  Only suggestion I can give to is do a google search for the service manual and download it.  Look for instructions for the removal of the high voltage ps and remove it and then put it back in.  There is always the possibility one of the connectors has become loose and is causing the issue.  Good Luck.
