Only printing from tray 1 with Matlab

Hello,
I have recently purchased a HP officejet pro x451, and have set all its default preferences to printing from tray 2 (which holds A4 paper). However, the printer only seems to print from tray 1 and will not continue until I have filled tray1 with paper.
I must specify that I am trying to print via Matlab (printing from Word is fine).
I hope someone can help!
Thanks very much.

Hi BerthB,
When you print from Matlab, have you checked what is the tray source setting in the print dialog? It is a dialog when you click "print" button. Some application softwares might set it to "Tray 1" by default. This will override the setting on your printer, where you set "Tray 2".
You can set tray source setting to "Tray 2" or "auto select" in your case.

OfficeJet 8600 Premium - Faxes Only Printing from Tray 2

I'm running into an issue with an OfficeJet 8600 Premium on OS X (Lion), but this shouldn't be OS specific.
It appears that incoming faxes are requiring tray 2, even though the default tray is set to 1 and the media lock is off. The printer reports that it's out of paper, even though Tray 1 is full.
I've removed the lower tray assy, checked the paper size settings within the trays, set the default to 2 and back to 1, set the media lock on 2 with the default on 1, rebooted the printer and computer, but nothing seems to make a change in how incoming faxes are printed.
I am successfully able to print from tray 1 with normal print jobs. For some reason, the fax portion of the printer just defaults to tray 2, and I can't find where I can reset that to tray 1...or to follow the defaults of the machine.
Any thoughts?

so you are telling me the default is tray2 only and the software does not allow you to choose like ALL prior hp!!!! This is the dumbest software i have ever seen...i have stuggled with this for over a year to only hear that hp decided what i should do!!!! all my programs select tray 1 for regular paper and tray 2 for medical claims! yes it is used for two different types of paper....i do not want to change hundreds of documents because hp decided where i should default print and fax from! is there a fix to allow me the user to select where i would like things printed from....thanks....how stupid are you hp!!!! why would you take away choices so basic as to where a fax is printed from.....

Office jet pro 8600 cannot print from tray 1

We have an officejet pro 8600 with a second tray installed. Plain paper in the second tray which is on default on actual printer. Headed paper in tray one which is locked on printer.
Cannot print letterhead. If I manually go into printer preferences and select tray 1 to print on letter head printer will only print from tray 2.
Please help!
I know I can also go into printer on PC and make some settings under the installed device but no matter what I do printer will only print from tray 2 plain paper.

Hello @polecat123 , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing tray selection issues. I would love to try and help you, but I do need a little information first. I am linking a few HP Support documents below that will show you how to find which operating system you are using. Also, if you're using Windows, please include whether your operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit.

HP 2100TN - Can't print from Tray 3

I have a Laserjet HP 2100TN. I have it configured with a Tray 3 but it refuses to print to Tray 3. It prints from Tray 2. If I select Tray 1 it works fine (prints from tray 1). This used to work under 10.4.x but has been broken in 10.5.x. I tried reinstalling (Archive and Install) to no avail. I was using the default Laserjet 2100 series driver. I tried Gutenprint version and it worked except I had to select Tray 4 for it to print from Tray 3. Gutenprint, however, only allows me to print up to 600x600 dpi whereas the default Laserjet 2100 series allows me to print 1200x1200 dpi.
I also tried installing the driver from HP and it did not work either.
Any help would be appreciated.

I did as benshaine posted in his thread here: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/789780 I installed Firefox 3.5.10 to my desktop, printed from 3.5.10 and then went back into 3.6.x and I could print.

HP Officejet Pro 8630 won't print from tray 2; says there's no paper

Action: Print from tray 2.
Expected Results: Paper feeds from tray 2 and prints.
Actual Results: Printer displays "out of paper" dialog.
Notes: Ever since I purchased the Officejet Pro 8630 six or eight months ago, tray 2 has not functioned. It says there's no paper in that tray. I've tried multiple types of letter sized paper. I've inspected the bottom of the main printer unit and the top of tray 2 for signs of damage; there doesn't seem to be any.
Tray 1 works just fine. It's actually a fantastic printer. The best I've owned. If only Tray 2 would work.

HP 4000 Only prints to tray 1

I have a fairly old HP 4000 but has been very faithful over the years. Recently I've encountered an issue that no matter what I do it will only print to Tray 1 forcing me to manually feed it paper.
I've went through the menu's and all looks correct. I've even done restore defaults with no luck.
Reguardless of the computer I'm printing from I get the same results. Even when printing if I tell it Tray 2 or Tray 3 it still goes to Tray 1.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I is most likely a setting in the printer program. Have you checked to see if the settings are the same on all of the machines? If you have and all the settings are the same and your still getting the same issue I would go to Xerox for further support.
But I would check every printer settings in both the program and windows printer settings first.

HP Laserjet P4014dn won't auto print from tray 1

HP Laserjet P4014dn stopped auto printing from tray 1. Can't manually print from there either. Now it always pulls from tray 2 (bottom tray) even if paper is loaded in tray 1. Auto print is selected in software setting. SN [Personal Information Removed] CB512A. Help!

There may be a couple of reasons why the printer will not auto print from Tray 1.
The following references the User Guide for the printer which you can obtain from here:
http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01295101/c01295101.pdf
Page 18 of the User Guide has the section "Paper Handling Menu".
This section defines the menu items that can be used to set Size and Type for Tray 1.
Page 85 of the User Guide has the start of the Configure Trays Section.
In this section there are two notes. If Tray 1 is set to ANY SIZE and ANY TYPE, the printer will pull from that tray whenever media is loaded in that Tray. If Tray 1 is set to a specific size, it will act like a Cassette. This means that it will follow the paper handling model of Trays 2, 3, etc..
Example: Tray 1 is set to Letter, Tray 2 is set to Letter. When a job is sent from the PC requesting Letter and the Sources is Auto, the printer FW will look for the highest number tray that has letter installed and pull from that tray. Thus, Tray 2 will always be used unless Tray 2 doesn't have paper.
Page 86 has the section "Configure a tray by using the Paper Handling menu".
Follow the steps in this section to validate that Tray 1 is set to ANY SIZE and ANY TYPE. If not set to ANY SIZE, ANY TYPE then change the setting to be ANY SIZE and ANY TYPE. You may have to scroll through the list of sizes and types to find what you are looking for.
Once possibility is that the printer is not detecting that paper is loaded in Tray 1. One method to verify this is to remove all paper from Tray 2 and lower trays if there are more than just Tray 2 installed. This will force the printer to pull paper from Tray 1 if paper is present. If paper is present and the Tray 1 menu items are set to ANY SIZE and ANY TYPE and the printer prompts for you to load Tray 1 with paper, it is possible that the printer is not detecting that paper is in the tray.
In this case, I would recommend you contact HP Support as the media presence sensor may no longer be working properly.

OfficeJet J4550 All-In-One not scanning or copying; only prints from certain sites

I have a HP Pavillion Slimline 400 and my will not scan or copy, and only prints from certain sites. I have uninstalled and installed the software driver numerous times and still get a "scanner not working" message. I have also unplugged and turned off and replugged in the USB and the power cords several times. Currently, I have uninstalled the printer software, so I have no recognizable printer on my PC. Help!!

Hello bran1288,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with scanning and printing from a select few sites.
I have a few steps that we can try to troubleshoot this issue.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
As for printing from web pages, please make sure that you have your firewall or anti virus settings turned down as well as the Pop-up blocker disabled. If this does not resolve the issue, maybe try another web browser such as Mozilla fire fox or Google Chrome.
As for the scanning issue, so I can better assist you, please respond with which Operating System you are running:
Which Windows Operating System am I running?
Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
Please write me back when you have time and I will be happy to help.

Hp photosmart 7150 only prints black and white with mac

My hp photosmart 7150 only prints black and white with mac. I have tried installing and uninstalling, installing drivers, but no change.

Hi,
You did not mentioned your Mac OS X version, however I assume you have one of the latest versions.
The Photosmart 7150 is not supported on Mac OS X v10.6, v10.7, v10.8 or v10.9 and therefore it is more than likely that there are no drivers for your OS and the used Generic Driver only provide B&W printing.
Although it is not officially supported you may check 3rd party solutions such as the 3rd party HP-IJS print drivers which list your printer as supported.
Be sure to install any of the 3 required downloads, then click the plus sign under Printers & Scanners, click the Use drop down and click on Select Printer Software.
Search for your printer model form the list and select the driver, I believe that may work:
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/hpijs
Although it only list up to 10.8 (Mountain Lion) it should also work on Mavericks from my experience.
Hope that may help,

LaserJet 3105x printing to Tray 1 - Manual on macs prints from Tray 3

On every other model of LaserJet when the user selects "Tray 1 - Manual" under the mac print options the printer prompts the user to load paper into Tray 1 and waits indefinitely until paper is loaded.
Now with the LaserJet 3015x, the printer just prints the job from Tray 2 without ever prompting or waiting for paper in Tray 1.
If Tray 1 is dropped down and loaded with paper before the user prints it will print from Tray 1. However my users are not accustomed to doing this because all other laserjets do not behave that way.
Windows clients seem to behave the "normal" way, it just seems to be the mac clients and it occurs whether we select the "HP LaserJet 3015" driver or the "HP LaserJet 3010 Series" driver.

Now works for whatever "magical" reason. Question is now a moot point.

Printing problems Desket 3520 - says i can only print from apps

So frustrating.
Since upgrading to Window 8.1 I have nothing but print problems, despite unistalling and reinstalling. Now when I try to print,when I click on the print icon (that comes up from the swipe side bar) i get a message saying I can only print from apps. So I have been unable to print word docs etc of any kind. The printer works fine from my iphone and ipad and the laptop can see the printer wirelessly and connects to it - BUT IT WONT PRINT!! I've had to resort to emailing the docs to myself to print from my ipad - ridiculous!
WHAT is happening HP? I use an HP laptop and HP printer for a REASON, compatibilty. NOT SO since the update.
Please can someone send me an easy fix for this frustrating problem. 'Ive tried everything and I'm fairly computer savvy.
Regards and TIA

Hey there @lissim09 welcome to the forums
I am not quite sure why your Windows 8.1 is not printing to your Deskjet 3520 however, I have some ideas to try and find out and hopefully get it printing for you. The printer is working with other devices, which shows us the printer itself is alright.
Run the Print and Scan Doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there was a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results. Please send me the results.
Also try a Clean Boot, restart the PC and try a print again. This will turn off all start up programs running on your PC, in the case there is something running that is blocking the printer from printing, this should bypass it. Also disable your firewall temporarily.
Try printing from two programs afterwards.
Also include how you have the printer connected to the PC (wireless, ethernet, usb).
Thank you

3600 Printer - Can you print to tray 2 with items loaded in tray 1?

We are wanting to leave envelopes loaded in tray 1, and still be able to print from tray 2. Does anyone know how to direct the printer on which tray to print from when you send a print job? Or can we set the default to tray 2 and indicate a manual print to tray 1 when ready to print an envelope?
Thanks.

Hi @kceacct ,
I see that you would like to know how to print out the checks in order. I will do my best to help you.
The ADF can be used for copying, scanning and faxing.
From the print driver you can only select the tray that you want to print from.
Changing Print Settings in Windows 8.
You would have to load the checks in order from top to bottom in the paper tray, since the printer just pulls the paper in from the top of the stack of paper.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Can only print from certain programs. Started suddenly.

Everything was working just fine and then suddenly I can only print from InDesign and Word. And when I print from InDesign I can't change any settings in the "print" dialog box or the program freezes and crashes. When I try to print from firefox, photoshop, illustrator among others, it freezes and crashes. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the print driver and restarting my computer numerous times and the problem persists. (Unless I am not doing it properly) I go into my printer settings and remove the printer then go back in and reinstall it.
Any thoughts or help is greatly appreciated as this is affecting my ability to do my job efficiently. Thanks so much.
