Paper tray hp laserjet 1018

It should be simple. I cannot close the paper tray of my HP LaserJet 1018 printer. It is hinged and when I lift it, it moves about 30 degrees and stops. I am afraid that if I force it any farther something will break. How does it close? It was close when I bought it.

Laserjet 1018 paper feed problem - started suddenly and now wrinkles paper but does not feed it in

This HP Laserjet 1018 is 4 years old, has worked flawlessly. But a day or two ago it fed a sheet of paper, there was a ripping sound, and the paper emerged, printed, but with a 1/4" wide, 5" long missing bit near the bottom, running the long way of the paper. I found and removed the crinkled up torn strip of paper, and have restarted this printer numerous times. Since that incident, it refuses to feed paper correctly, but bunches it up and wrinkles it a bit from the left to right and does not feed it in. Thus, won't work. I can't see any broken parts or anything stuck inside -- and taking this printer apart is v. complicated -- no easy panel to remove to see the feed mechanism. I'm doubtful I can take it apart enough, and still get it back together. I've cleaned the feed roller (small half-round gray rubber thing) and it does not seem to be the problem.
Questions:
a) anyone experienced, and solved this problem?
b) is it worth trying to send this for repair (I got it on special for $69, and the replacement equivalent now appears to be the HP P1102w, which is selling via Amazon for $94.99
Thanks

Paper tray error message HP LaserJet 1102w

Recently my LaserJet 1102w stopped printing duplex; instead, after printing the first side it gives an error message : Paper tray needs to be filled.
The paper tray is full, but I cannot get it to continue printing the other side, no matter what. This has become a huge problem, even when printing single-sided jobs.
Any ideas?
This question was solved.

Hi,
Once you place the printed pages back in the input tray, try opening and closing the top cartridge access door to rsume the print job and check if that prints the other side.
Hope that helps,

LaserJet 1320nw: Selecting an alternate paper tray programmatically

Howdy, y'all,
My question is more about coding than printer administration, but I thought that I'd begin by asking at this forum.
I'm working on the enhancement of an older client-server app that prints three copies of an invoice on color-coded paper. One of the users would like to keep the multi-colored sheets in the lower paper tray. Other users may run the same invoice listing on other HP LaserJets. If the <Esc> sequence that I send to the printer to select the lower tray is received by a LaserJet printer without a lower tray, what will the printer do?
I've read the PCL 5 Tech Ref, and in the Programming Hints section, HP writes that "if ... commands are not supported by the PCL device, they are ignored." Does that mean that printer will still print from the default tray if there's no alternate tray?
Thanks kindly.

Thanks for your support-- you are correct Epson did not solve my problem. Over time, none of my several printing issues have been solved by Epson . Self-help and Forums have been my best solutions. Once Again I discovered the answer myself. The menu options have been moved around in Leopard compared to Tiger. In "EPSON PrintCD" you now go to Print..., choose Page Setup and unlike Tiger when you choose "US letter" under Paper Size, pulled down to US Letter, there is now a side menu that pops up and allows you to choose US letter(Manual Feed). This takes care of the CD printing problem. Though I haven't tried it as yet, I think that under this new "Paper Size" menu choosing "4x6 ( borderless)" will solve my borderless printing problem!
Sorry I can't shed any light on your particular issues

Laserjet 1018 paper jam on way out.

Hello,
My printer prints some pages and then one (white page not printed) stucks on half way out. Paper jam message appears on pc.
I cleaned everything inside, then I changed the pickup roller with a new one but same thing happens.
If I send 4 pages to print are ok. If I Send 20 paper jam at 18 ..
The information for what to do if a paper jam happens does not help me for this problem.
Thank you.

Hi @Andrant ,
I see that you are experiencing issues when printing multiple pages, the paper will stop 1/2 way through and you get a paper jam message on the computer. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
It sounds more like a communication issue, which is causing the printer to stop printing in the middle of the jobs.
What file format are you printing? (PDF)
Try cutting the pages being printed down, the larger amount of pages could be stopping the Print Spooler on the computer.
Did you download and install the latest drivers for the printer, or are you using the Windows Classic drivers?
HP LaserJet 1018 Printer Drivers.
I have provided a document with some steps to try to see if that will resolve this issue, by checking the driver installed and updating it. Wireless Printer Prints a Partial Page or Fails to Print All Pages in Windows 8.
Go to Step 3 for the update, then click the link for Workaround and under Step 4, go to steps 8.
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!

Standard paper tray on Color LaserJet 3600n

We have a Color LaserJet 3600 which had a problem with the standard paper tray being stuck. Couldn't get it out until we were able to get inside the machine and push down on the metal plate that pushes the paper up when the drawer is in the printer. After we got it out we found a small plastic piece broken on the end of the right side of the metal plate that sticks through the plastic side of the paper tray (see image). Does anyone know where I can get this plastic piece without having to purchase the entire tray?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Typically these small pieces on the paper trays, such as this one, are unavailable by themselves. One can check the HP Parts Store to see if the parts is available, but most likely one will have to get the tray as a single unit.
Hope this helps.

Printing 4x6 photos on HP Laserjet 4630. photo paper tray not working?

I am trying to print 4x6 photos on glossy paper. My printer has a photo paper tray in addition to a standard letter tray. When I specify 4x6 borderless glossy paper in the print parameters, the printer keeps pulling from the standard paper tray instead of the photo tray on top of the printer. This has worked for me in the past, but I haven't used it in a long time. What must I be doing wrong?

Hey. I'm a photographer with the C4280.
This printer takes care of 8.5 x 11's pretty much perfectly. But 4 x 6 not for me on iPhoto or Photoshop.
So what I did was I set up a pages document with a blank template, set at 4 x 6 inches.
I dragged rulers about .25inches in and threw in the photo set at 4 x 6 ratio. So... most photos are 4 x 6, just resize it to fit in the rulers.
I've noticed in most occasions it cuts off the top of the photo document when laid out in portrait.
What I do is a hit command p, select the printer but choose under the drop box that says "layout" i hit borderless printing, and a selectable box will show up saying "print borderless" and i just clicked it.
on the document though you might want to make the opacity 10% to save ink. you have to trouble shoot the exact place to set and drag up or down the photo. but once you get it, its reliable the duration the document is open and the printer is on.
i know its kind of pointless for one, but i had a shoot with live printing on the spot with this printer and its great. you can add texts boxes and put those perfectly where you want (once you set the picture so its set) and throw in another picture and really customize the 4 x 6.
i printed a postcard with the writing already in it. just had to mail it no writing involved.
you also need iwork 08 or 09. i have 08 but im sure 09 works. so if you save the pages doc as a template you can just drag in the image file into where the old image is and print that way.
command p, choose borderless printing in the drop box and click print borderless. it should work.
email me for a copy of my pages document. [email protected]
i promise though, with canon or epson 4 x 6 print paper, its pretty amazing. almost comparable to my prints from my printer.
or you can fit 12 3.5 x 2inch (business card sized) pics on an 8.5 x 11.

Wrong automatic paper tray selection in HP LaserJet M3035 printer.

Hello,
I have a printer (this one http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06b/18972-18972-3328064-12004-3328083-2512333-2512337-3435... ) shared in Active Directory by several users (running Windows XP machines). The thing is that no matter how many times I try to set the source paper tray to a specific one, it seems it doesnt apply/store the changes, and it comes back to Auto tray selection (and it always selects tray #1, which is the one im trying to avoid), causing an issue which needs to be solved by hand.
Thanks a lot in advance.

1. Go into your SETUP MENU on your printer.
2. Choose PREFERENCES
3. Choose DEFAULT TRAY.
Try it and let me know what happens, thanks.

Hp laserjet professional 1100w. cannot close paper tray. paper-stop not movable?

I managed to install and print but cannot close the paper tray. There is a little paper-stop that prevents the paper tray from closing. Seems like it should be able to fold under or something.

My HP LaserJet 1018 has started printing only blank pages.

My HP LaserJet 1018 has started printing only blank pages.
Help?
Using Windows XP (Home Version)
Product # CB419A

Could be a number of issues. First could be a bad or not connecting transfer rollers which moves the toner from the drum to the paper. Only way to test is a half test by putting paper on the manual tray and printing a self test. When the back edge enters the printer, open the toner door to stop printing. Remove the toner and flip back the cover over the toner drum to see if there is any image on the drum. If image is present then it could be transfer roller issues. Use the service manual and look under engine diagnostics in the index and it will direct you to a page that shows how to perform an engine test. Do the test to see if you get a sheet of paper with lines on it. If you get lines, then the issue could be the formatter. If no lines and the shutter has been removed then I would think you are having high voltage issues. You may have to bring the printer in for service.

HP Laserjet 1018, Word 2007 on Windows XP - Duplex printing alignment

HP Laserjet 1018, Word 2007 on Windows XP
Want to Print a book on both sides of A4 paper. I am printing one page per
page (not the book mode).
If I print single sided, the top of the page (e.g. header text) on odd and
even pages are aligned. When I print duplex mode, odd pages print fine but
the even pages are shifted down. Thus the header text are not aligned.
I think this is more a problem with the way the printer is managing duplex
printing.While printing in duplex mode, the printer first prints in reverse (with bottom of
the page as ref) to enable placement of the output sheets back into the input
tray without rotation. Is this messing up the alignment?

Hi there,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

Paper tray won't close

HP Color LaserJet CM2320nf MFP printer:
So, I put more paper in the paper tray and closed the drawer as usual. Only the drawer will not close. I have looked inside to see if there is anything visible that would prevent it from closing. I see nothing. Without paper, I can't print easily (just with a couple pieces of paper). This is wierd. Has never happened before.
I have turned off and on the printer, not that that would help -- but the paper tray will still not slide into the printer.

Hi tonjalr,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure, I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums, since this is a commercial product. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/ .

Problems installing HP LaserJet 1018 printer on new MacBook Pro

Hi all,
I just entered the wonderful world of Mac and I am really enjoying it. Too bad I waited so long. However, I have a problem installing my printer, an HP LaserJet 1018 printer, on my new MacBook Pro intel based computer. I checked at HP's website and it says that the printer is not supported for the Mac environment. Could there be other possibilities with drivers to download or should I buy a new printer?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Christian
MacBook Pro 15", Intel based Mac OS X (10.4)

Hi Crelle,
When the manufacturer says they don't support something, it's generally best to stay away from it.
There's almost always 3 ways to do any 1 thing, but you may need you printer to do more than 1 thing and therefore you're going to have issues with all the other things.
Printing to a printer sounds like 1 thing, but it's not.
It's many things working together to get ink on paper.
My advise is get a supported printer and live without a headache.

Custom page sized paper in a LaserJet 1200

I'm running Window 7 and printing to an HP LaserJet 1200. I need to print on the inside of 5 1/2 (w) x 8 1/2 thank you note. I created a custom size. I've changed the setting to set "center" as where the paper comes from. I'm feeding it thru the envelope feeder or putting the thank you's in the paper tray, centering it with the guides. It prints the text on the left of the paper. Help.

Set your paper size as a custom size:
1. Open the Pages doc
2. Press shift+ ⌘ +p to open the page setup
3. In the 'settings' pull down menu choose 'custom paper size'
4. Click on the new button and create your custom size and save by pressing o.k
5. Now your custom size will appear in every page set up dialogue.
For my two printers this is all I have to do. The printers adopt the page set up selected in Pages.
