No options in print windows HP Laserjet P1505

Trying to print Quark 6.5 document and specify Screen Frequency on HP Laserjet P1505, but cannot access any print options. I think it is a missing PPD thing, and I can't find a PPD listed for the printer in Quark PPDs. Can anyone help please?

Thanks for the info. Okay, maybe it doesn't need to be stored in a "library" but doesn't it need to first be stored somewhere?
No. All that is needed is some mechanism to write the PPD file for the printing system use. It is the file in /private/etc/cups/ppd that is used when printing. Several manufacturers do not include PPD files for at least some of their printers. Many Epson printers come to mind as other examples. In versions of OS X 10.5 and earlier, manufacturers used their old carbon based drivers and only added enough to the installer to get things to work.
Some things change in Snow Leopard as the old carbon based and/or Tioga drivers are no longer acceptable. That is one of the reasons support for many printers was dropped. Even in Snow Leopard, there is a method to write PPD files only when printers are added.
The path I provided is generally where HP installs PPDs with OS 10.4.x. I know you were trying to troubleshoot without thinking of Quark, but that is what the OP needs. Interestingly, I do have a gazillion of PPDs including a few for the HP Laserjet Pxxx series that were installed as OS 10.x packages. The names of PPDs in my /private/etc/cups/ppd are the names I set when I added them with Print & Fax system preference, which are different than the actual printer and PPD names. The Quark PPD Manger recognizes original printer or PPD names.
Unfortunately, I am not familiar with Quark and its requirements. However, I would think as long as you can provide a copy of the PPD, it should work. If copying the PPD from /private/etc/cups/ppd to the Desktop is not sufficient, you could place the copy in /Library/Printers/PPDs... The name of the file should not be important. The printing system matches the printer with the correct PPD by using specific keywords in the PPD if a PPD is available when adding a printer. Where the manufacturer has not provided a PPD, it is up to them to provide the mechanism to write the appropriate PPD based on the printer that is chosen in Printer Setup Utility. I would hope that Quark would use the PPD keywords to match the printer to the PPD or at least honor the user pointing out which file to use.

  • HP Laserjet P1505 not printing under Windows 8 CP

    I Installed Windows 8 Consumer Preview on my system and also installed my HP Laserjet P1505 using the latest driver software from HP support. The printer installs correctly and also shows correctly in the Device Manager. However, when i try to print - test page or from any application - Win 8 reports: "The printer couldn't print...".
    Interestingly, the printer was working under Windows 8 Developer Preview.
    Any idea how to make the HP Laserjet P1505 work under Windows 8 Consumer Preview?

  • HP LaserJet P1505 / Windows 7

    I have one problem with P1505 , i have install PC HP with Windows 7.
    But not print , for 1 or 2 print is ok after NO.
    Solution for this problem ?

    Hi @AlessandroLeade ,
    I see by your post that you can print one or two pages and then it won't continue to print. I can help you.
    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.
    For the Laserjet P1505, make sure the USB cable is connected directly to the PC and not in a hub or docking station.

    Try printing from another application to see if you have the same results.
    Try your application again.
    From the application your printing from, go to File, Print, Number of copies select 2. Uncheck Collate. You can now change the number of copies. Collate should now stay unchecked.
    Try printing the multiple page document again.
    If the issue persists, uninstall and reinstall the printer software.

  • Print directly to the printer option in the Windows registry

    I need to find the location for the option to "Print directly to the printer" in the Windows registry.  I am trying to create a GPO to enable this option at login and I can't find the location for it.  Is this possible to do?  If not, is there another way to enable this at startup for all users?  We are running Adobe Acrobat X on Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit.
    Thanks

    I guess that those of use responding don't know enough about the process you are trying to implement to be of help. Printing to network drives has been an issue for folks for a long time and a lot seems to depend on the network. That is probably of zero help and all I can suggest is just to hang on for someone who hopefully has an idea. If we can get a better handle on what you are trying to do, we might be able to make suggestions. However, I think our answers are not going to be there for the registry issue.

  • Driver(s) to print on HP Laserjet 4000n and HP Deskjet 722C printers for Windows 7 (64bit)

    I'm introducing a Windows 7 64bit) computer in a network of Windows XP (32bit) computers.
    How do I find driver(s) to print on HP Laserjet 4000n and HP Deskjet 722C printers in a network that uses Windows 7 (64bit) and Windows XP (32bit)?  Printer sharing is done using a Windows XP (32bit) base computer.
    Should I load a 64bit driver on the 32bit XP computer for the benefit of the Windows 7 computer or will that mess up the XP computer?
    Thanks

    Hello, the HP laser jet 4000n you install the drivers via windows update procedure.  The HP 722C is not supported under Windows 7 due to it's age.

  • Why doesn't the Firefox print window not provide a double-sided printing option?

    My HP printer is capable of printing double-sided, which saves paper, but the Firefox Print Window does not offer a double-sided printing option. (I recently switched from IE, which did.) Do I have to do something to add it?

    Can you post a screen shot of what you're seeing?
    The relevant print options for your printer appear under Properties AFTER you click the Print button and select the printer to be used.

  • Option to Print as a pdf, save as a PDF, etc. is gone from Print window....

    Hi-don't know what happened but when I bring up the Print window, I no longer have the option button to Save as PDF, Mail PDF, etc. The only button in that area is the Supplies button. I did an erase and install a few weeks ago and installed all updates but it seems I am missing a part of something! Anybody else have this issue? Hope someone can tell me how to bring this back-I use it all the time! Judy

    HI,
    Try reinstalling your printer drivers and restart your Mac.
    You might also try deleting your printer preference file.
    Go to ~/Library/Preferences. You should have a file like this...
    com.yourprintermanufacturename.plist
    Move that file to the Trash and restart your Mac.
    Also, try disconnecting and reconnecting your printer from your Mac.

  • After installing an update to Acrobat on my Windows computer, the option to print to .pdf disappears from my printer options menu in all programs.  What can I do?

    This is the second time I updated my Adobe Acrobat X Pro program and the option to "Print to .pdf" disappears from my word processing program and all other programs I am running.  Last time I uninstalled Acrobat and reinstalled and that fixed the problem, but that was a long process.  Is there any other way to restore the option?

    Do you mean there is no Adobe PDF printer listed? You can check the Start>Devices & Printers list and be sure it appears there.

  • Officejet 8620, fail to print, windows 8.1 (upgraded from windows 8)

    I have spent many hours trying to resolve an issue on a Dell Vostro laptop, that was upgraded from Windows 8 pro to Windows 8.1 pro and has the latest updates installed. When printing, the print is delivered to the print spooler, it is there momentarily, then disappears. Nothing is delivered to the printer, and no activity is observed at all on the printer. This is on 2 different 8620 printers. I am able to install and print to a laserjet M1217mfp from the laptop with no problems. A different machine that was loaded directly with windows 8.1 prints perfectly to the 8620 printers.
    I have tried the following  with no success:
    1) Install from original HP 8620 installation CD
    2) HP Print and scan doctor - remove the print driver and download latest software . ( 3 times)
    3) Manually deleting all printers, Stop spooler service, delete print driver from Print Server Properties, uninstall all HP software, reboot and install from latest print driver OJ8620-198 downloaded from this link: http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL51217/​bi-124140-4/OJ8620_198.exe
    4) Same procedure as step 3, including stop spooler, rename C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\3 to C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\3.old. Reboot and install from latest driver as above.
    5) Run level 4 on HP Officejet Software and Driver Removal Utility from the link below and reinstall : http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloa​dIndex?cc=za&lc=en&softwareitem=mp-110134-1
    6) Same procedure as step 4, as well as removing printer registry keys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro​l\Print\Environments\Windows x64\Print Processors except "winprint" key. Delete all HP folders in C:\Program Files\HP. Reboot and reinstall latest driver.
    7) Follow the manual procedure described in Microsoft KB2987964 "Cannot print by using a Hewlett Packard XPS-based print driver after you install KB2769165" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2987964 Version of hpbxpsrender.dll is 0.3.7600.16385 consistently through all of the steps listed.
    9) Create a new local administrator account on the laptop. Follow the procedure in Step 6.
    The issue seems to be that the spooler discards the print immediately and it also seems to be related to the upgrade from windows 8 to Windows 8.1 but only for Officejet Printers. The only option I have not tried yet is to format and reload the machine with Windows 8.1 Pro, but this is a drastic step to resolve a problem that should be resolved by HP based on the many reports posted on the Internet by users experiencing this issue on OfficeJet printers.
    What can be done to resolve this?

    Hi @Electronza ,
    Thank you for providing all the detailed steps you have already tried to resolve this issue. I would like to help you out today.
    I have provided a document with some steps for the Print Jobs Disappear from the Print Queue and Do Not Print (Windows 8). Go to Step 4: Rename the HPBXPSRENDER.DLL file, since you have already tried the other steps.
    Please take a look at this document from my co-worker, if the issue persists. The driver installed might be the Class Driver and not the HP Full Feature drivers. Missing or partial print issues on Windows 8 / 8.1.
    Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
    Have a great weekend!

  • HP LaserJet P1505 Drivers for Win 8

    I have a new computer with Win 8 and my HP LaserJet P1505 printer does not work because of missing drivers. Does anyone know where i can get drivers for this printer for Win 8 or do I have to buy a printer that is not HP?
    Thanks Paul

    Hi Paul,
    I afraid the P1505 currently not yet supported on Windows 8.
    According the official statement a driver should be available till the end of 2012, I would believe it will be a bit dilayed and will become available in several weeks.
    Please check the following link in the near feature, as soon as the driver will become available you will be able to download it from that page.

  • Laserjet p1505 stopped working

    I have a laserjet p1505 that stopped working on my pc (window vista ultimate, 32 bit).  When I check the printer queue, it shows the document is waiting to print, but nothing happens.
    I checked and switched the usb and connections, deleted and reinstalled the drivers.  Eventually (and because it had to be done anyway), I reformatted my hard drive and once again reinstalled the software from scratch. Again, the same problem.  Interestingly, when I connect my laptop (same operating system) directly to the printer, it works.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Kathy

    I would like to clarify that you have 2 computer, the same OS, one is PC and another is the laptop, you installed the same driver on both of them, via the same kind of connection - USB connection, but PC doesn't work,, and the laptop works. Is it the problem you are facing now? If it is the case, I suspect that issue is related to your PC itself.
    To help your diagnostic this issue, I suggest that you can install the PDU (printing diagnostic utility) on your PC to do some troubleshooting. You can get the tool from P1505's product page:

  • More text options in Print Module

    It's frustrating to be able to do just about everything in LR - but not quite.  I'd like more text options for the printing module.  For example, when I'm printing a limited edition print, I put the edition number in the bottom left corner, under the image, within the border of the print.  The title goes in the middle, slighty larger font, and then possibly a watermark.
    I can use the Identity Plate to create a nice looking title, but the Photo Info will only print in the middle with no options for positioning it anywhere else, or no options for other fonts.

    I would second this proposal..... with a serious passion.  I think it is unbelievable that Adobe will not provide us with the option to print the metadata with our images.
    The current metadata print options are in the dark ages, a joke and an insult to anyone trying to put a proper caption on a printed image.  For example, one cannot currently control the postion or font of a basic caption, never mind a considered template which might incorporate copyright, date, author, etc..   I also make folios (ala Lenswork).  Unfortunately, a detour to PS also means that this must be done manually, rather than using a template.  Adobe have all the tools to make this work, many of them are in the Slideshow module, so already the code is inside Lightroom.   It is so sad that a company like Blurb can provide these tools free of charge in free software, but Adobe seem incapable of providing these basic features.  I was disappointed they were not in version 1, frustrated when missing from version 2 and  apoplectic when not in version 3. I might excuse the omission if I could build a template in PS which allowed me to place text from the metadata into a formattted page layout, but this is not possible either. So despite the fact I have purchased both Lightroom and Photoshop, and paid for upgrade after upgrade of both products, this basic facility is still missing.
    I can only deduce that people in Adobe print images in two modes.
    1) a lonely image in approx middle of the page with no text formatting or
    2) an image in draft mode with a caption and a name plate and uncontolled other text in ad hoc placements (totally unsuitable for presenting to a client).
    I would put this requirement ahead of so many other popular requests (even ahead of requests such as networked storage, soft proofing, etc).  I can mention other software products who do a really good job of printing meta data with images, do serious work on sharpening, etc. for a fraction of the cost of the Lightroom / Photoshop combination. Becasue I am on an Adobe site I will not mention the names of these non Adobe products. If these small companies can solve this problem, surely Adobe can do so as well.
    I also find that I cannot trust the page setup templates that I do create. It seems to me that many of the properties (ie page size, orientation, matt / gloss options) disappear without warning.  I suspect this happens when I have problems printing to networked Epson printers (maybe others, but I only use Epson ...with Windows 7.)  This is very frustrating when my template changes from Matt in to Gloss, with subsequent wasted of ink and frustration and lost time in correcting and re-updating the template.
    Adobe, please finish the Print Module.  I do not want any more glitzy updates to publishing to the most recent social media exchange medium. Can we not get basic printing working first.
    (..... thanks for listening.....end of rant).

  • Photoshop CS5.1 crashes when trying to open Manage Custom Sizes in print window. Help??

    I have OS 10.10.2.  When printing and trying to access the "Manage Custom Sizes" in the print window, my Photoshop CS5.1 crashes.  I have not had problems up until now.  Not sure what changed. Can anyone help me figure this out?

    A preferences reset should fix it.
    Macintosh - CMD-SHIFT-OPTION immediately after you double-click the PS icon.
    Release those keys when you see the Delete Photoshop Settings dialog. Click "Yes" to do this.
    You may have to go into the CS5 application folder and directly double-click the Photoshop.app there.
