Phaser 6125 printing in grey

Hi there,
My phaser 6125 is printing in grey rather than black. I've tried the following:
- replace the cartridge
- run all the admin tests through the menu, refresh the drum etc etc
- cleaned the housing for the cartridge
- cleaned the housing once you remove the phaser unit
- entered the service menu and ran all the diags and tests in there
No joy with any of that. Anyone got any further ideas?
I like the printer so loathed to throw it out the window but getting very close.
All help or suggestions are very welcome.
Thanks,
Elf

Try this. I don't know that it will work on your model, but it did for a 6130.

Duplex printing on Xerox Phaser 6125

Hi all, I am having trouble duplex printing on my Xerox Phaser 6125 which has a manual duplex function. At least in Windows XP, where it works flawlessly. The Duplex choice in the printing/layout screen is greyed out, with whichever Xerox driver I install. Xerox Europe Ltd claim it's the Mac OS which causes this.
Before I decide to switch from XP to Mac: is this true? Is OS Lion resolving this issue?? Such a simple thing which works flawlessly in antiquated XP should surely work on a superior OS, right?

Hi, I faced the same issue, migrating from Windows to MAC and facing this issue in the driver.
I found a workable solution, involving even more manual tasks but works...
Here is how, inside Adobe Reader, but imagine that it would work from other printing apps also:
1. Select Print, select Booklet
2. From Booklet subset, select front sides only
3. Print.
3a. transfer pages into feeder, no turning, flipping, just pick up en in the drawer as they were
4. Select Print again, under Pages to Print, select More Options
5. check Reverse Pages
6. From Booklet subset, select back sides only
7. Print and a booklet should appear.

HT4356 How can I configure the printer to print only grey tones from my iPad 2? Printer=Hp6520

How can I configure printer with iPad to print only grey tones? This works fine from my laptop - not air printing from that one though. I can't find anywhere on the iPad how to do printer settings and this also seems not to be available as an option when doing a printout. In fact, no options seem to be available. Thanks in advance for reacting!

There is currently no option for this. You can give Apple feedback here:

HP Laser Printer 1018 prints in grey

My transcript documents in Word xp are printing in grey.
I bought another computer and i've followed all the steps in the printer troubleshooting options still prints in grey. These are all the things i've done to try to rectify the problem with no success.
1. Printer troubleshooting steps
2. Opened notepad typed a few lines and it printed in black.
3. Opened a page from another transcript that i did months ago, but prints in grey.
4. Printed something from the internet and it prints in black.
5. These are the things that are checked off in the word printing advanced button:
This is what is checked in the advance print settings:
PRINT:
Print in background
Scale content for A4 or 8.5 x 11 paper size
Default tray "use printer settings"
WHEN PRINTING THIS DOCUMENT
There are two boxes, but neither of them are checked. They're blank and they are
Print postscript over text and Print only the data from a form
Should i maybe click one of those two? The "print in draft" is not checked. It's blank.
I just printed another test page and it's in black. I printed something off the internet and it's in black. I went back into notepad and it printed in black. I printed a page from another transcript and it printed grey. It seems it's only my word documents that are coming out in grey. So it has to be something that's set in word that's making it come out grey. Also, I hooked it up to my older pc and printed a page and it printed in black. This really has me stumped.
And if you're wondering why i just don't print my document on my old pc it's because I have something that's not right there as well. When i print a large document like a 200-page transcript it misses printing some pages, stops in the middle of printing for long periods of time. Sometimes it'll print 30 pages then stops and won't start again for 10-15 minutes.. etc. So I can't trust that pc to do my transcripts. Too risky. That's why i bought a newer one.
Please help someone - thank you in advance

@ mcl922- I would start by cleaning to contacts on the cartridges and the contacts in the printer chute to ensure that build up is not the source of the issue with the printer's output. Pages 22-23 of the product's user manual will show one how to clean the contacts. After that is complete, I would look at the troubleshooting steps offered in this document here. I hope that this helps.

Print option greyed-out

G'day
Here's a weird one. About 90% of the time, after I print a file out, the print option in the file menu greys-out, and stays greyed out until I restart CFB. Even if I CANCEL the print screen, the print option greys out.
Windows Vista Business, 64-bit. Stand-alone CFB install.
Adam

That's the "tree hug" feature
Heh.
In my defence, this is the first time I have tried to print something from any of Eclipse, CFE or CFB, in the 7-8yrs I've been using one or other.

Xerox Phaser 7800 Printer Status issue

I have a Xerox Phaser 7800 printer printing to a Windows 2008 Server R2 print server. While printing to the server the Xerox printer setup will continue to insert print jobs into the queue that say "Printer Status". The "Printer Status", print jobs can be deleted without effecting the final printing. They will also timeout if you just leave them in the queue. From what we can tell, these "Printer Status" jobs are asking for status info before sending the print job (is paper loaded, toner leverls OK, etc...) Why they need this info... I don't know. When the Xerox printer setup is printing directly to the printer, the printer responds approperiatley and everything is fine.
Since we operate in a public printing environement (University) we need to be able to control access to the printer via a printer server.
Xerox's official stance on this is that they do not support printing from Mac OS X to a Windows print server. It is an unsupported configuration. This seems to be a commone stance for printier manufactures. We have a Ricoh printer with similar issues.
On the Ricoh printer we were able to locate the section of the PPD code that makes the similar request of printer status and comment out those lines so the request is no longer sent. I'm having a little more trouble with the Xerox PPD in locating the lines of code to comment out.
If anyone has experience editing PPDs you help would be greatly appreciated!
If anyone has influence at Xerox, help them understand their mistake and to at the very least change the PPD to allow the "Printer Status" requests to be suppressed as part of the printer setup.

Same issue here with Adobe Reader XI 11.0.06. It will NOT collate whatsoever, regardless of the settings on the Print Dialog or the Printer Properties. It works with all other apps. Using HP Postscript drivers that come with Windows 7 SP1.

Printing collated adobe pdf's docs to a Xerox Phaser 6130n printer

I’m running into a very odd issue I hope you can help out with it. If I try to print a document from adobe reader XI or adobe creative cloud pro XI or adobe pro 9 to a phaser 6130n printer it will not collate. If I send a word document it works just fine. I’ve tried check the driver replacing the driver two different computers and still get the same results. Anyone have any ideas?

Printing with Xerox Phaser 3124 printer in leopard

Xerox Phaser 6100 printer in Mountain Lion?

My migration from old hardware and OS 10.4 is almost complete but I have found no way to drive my Xerox Phaser 6100 printer. Xerox recently (belatedly!) released a long list of Mountain Lion compatible drivers which were included in the latest system update. However, although there were multiple Phaser 61XX drivers, 6100 was not one of them.
I really hate to scrap this useful machine. Any ideas?

The latest Mountain Lion driver support begins with the Phaser 6130N. Tough break on the Phaser 6100.
Xerox has a page with links by operating system to PDF files containing all US Xerox printers compatible with the specific OS. There is a Mountain Lion link there.
If instead, you are wondering what supported non-Xerox printer to buy, look at the manufacturer specific driver updates on apple/support/downloads. Click the name of the driver update, rather than download it. You will see a link to a kb article that lists all currently supported printer models. For that manufacturer and other vendors.

Crystal report print button greyed out in user citrix sessions

Hi,
We are running Citrix Enterprise Server 4.5 on Windows 2003 servers.
We have a ERP app called Epicor 7.3.6 installed on them.
Crystal Reports 9 is installed on all these servers and the epicor app displays and prints crystal reports.
Some users when logged into their Citrix profile session and running Crystal Reports from within Epicor application can not print the Crystal report because the Print button is greyed out.
We have compared users that can print against users who can not not print and not found anything at the network, file permissions, application permissions, printer setup setting level.
Also, if we were to take citirx completely out of the discussion, what might cause the print button to be greyed out in a crystal report when it is displayed (not the developer, but in the minmal window that shows the export, print, magnify options only).
Thanks
Chris

Check with Epicor. We don't know how Epicor implemented the solution so it's kinda like you asking a mechnic to fix your car, but he can't open the hood to see the engine.
A tip; this is more than likely due to permissions. So, compare between boxes thast work and don't work. Use [Process Monitor|http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx] to track permission issues.

Why is print in grey and PDF not a saving option for only one of my photoshop files? All other files I open are fine. Please help!

I am trying to turn a photoshop document in to a pdf. Print is in grey and under Save As PDF is not an option. Any other PS document I open allows me both options. What is wrong with this document?!
What I have tried and was unsuccessful:
I changed it to illustrator and saved as PDF but the colors were very dark.
I have renamed it and opened again.
I duplicated the layers to another doc.
Closed PS and opened it again.
Please help. Thanks!

Here is what I see...
It is in RGB color / 32 bits/channel
Any suggestions?

HP LaserJet 2430 Prints vertical grey bands

While printing, some characters from each line are repeated at 3 inch intervals along the length of the paper. This happens at about 2 inches and 7 inches from the left margin and appear as two vertical grey bands on the printout (portrait mode). The widths of the bands are approximately 2 characters and 8 characters.
For example when a single line is printed the two characters at 2 in and about 8 characters at 7 in from the left margin repeat at 3, 6 and 9 inches down from the printed line and their intensity of the printing decreases. The same happens with each printed line creating two bands.
It appears the electrostatic mechanism that deposits toner does not get properly cleared after printing each line. The left over electical charge keeps the carbon particles at those (2" and 7") locations subsequently depositing at each rotation of the roller (approximately every 3 inches along the length of the paper)
I followed all the five steps (suggestions) by HP but the problem persists. I would appreciate any help in resolving this issue based on your e experiencewith any HP LaserJet printer.
1. Power is an important part of LaserJet printing and inadequate or marginal power supply can at times cause this sort of issue to occur. Please
plug the printer directly into a wall outlet to eliminate the possibility of power issues caused by other power devices. Please turn off the printer. Remove the printer power cable and connect it directly to a wall outlet. Turn the printer ON.
2. Please ensure that the print media meets the HP media specifications.Please refer to the document at the following URL for information on media specification. HP LaserJet 2400 Series Printer - Paper (Media) Specifications:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c00244086
3. Over time, particles of toner and paper accumulate inside the printer. This can cause print-quality problems during printing. Cleaning the printer eliminates or reduces these problems. Clean the paper path and print-cartridge areas every time that you change the print cartridge or whenever print-quality problems occur. Try to keep the printer from dust and debris as much as possible.
Please refer the following document for the cleaning procedure for the HP LaserJet 2400 series of printers: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c00243502 After running a cleaning page, print a page and check if the issue persists.
4. Do a cold reset on the printer:
To perform a cold reset, please follow the steps given below:
1. Turn the printer off.
2. Turn the printer on. When the printer begins its memory count, press and hold down the select button until all three printer control-panel lights flash once and then remain on. This might take up to 10 seconds.
3. After the message SELECT LANGUAGE appears on the display, press the Up Arrow button or the Down Arrow button until COLD RESET is highlighted.
4. Press the Select button. The printer performs a cold reset and then continues its power-on sequence.
5. Check all I/O settings and reset any customer-set printer configuration values.
5. Do a Firmware update on your printer. You may refer the following document for information about upgrading the firmware for the HP LaserJet 2400 series of printers:

The problem looks like the fuser. Bad spot at 2 3/16 inch from the left.
Part on order.

HP officejet Pro 8000 Can't print when color cart is empty enven when printing in grey scale

I do not use color in my printing. Nonetheless when the printer says my color cartdridge is empty I can not print. I spent a $100 on color cartdridge and never used them. They now show empy and I can't print. Is there a work around or should I just junk this printer. Thanks for your help.
Bob

Hello Bobmcclammy,
I can understand the frustration when the printer, in your case the Officejet Pro 8000, stops and tells you to change inks you are not even using. I too have fought with this in the past. Unfortunately, there is no "work around" for such an issue, at least that I have been able to find.
Even when printing black text only, for example, a resume, the printer will be using a subtle amount of color as a base. Printhead maintenance also will chip away at the ink, this is to ensure the ink is not drying up within the print system. This information will explain more: Ink Usage in Inkjet Printers.
What I have done in order to get the most out of the printer ink is, set the printer in a black only grey scale mode. This needs to be set in the printing preferences in the print driver installed on the computer.
The inks will still need to be replaced, but it should help for the future.

How to print background grey color in script output of header part

Hi Experts,
I had developed SAP SCRIPT, in that there are no. of line items based on line items the color should get change i.e suppose first line items rows should print grey while second items rows should not, third line items rows again should print grey and fourth should not...as on... with header cells will come background colour grey.Anyone can help me for this requirement.
How we can color the rows in sap script.
Thanks.

Hi,
From what I understand of SAPScript, it's next to impossible to dynamically draw lines in the MAIN window. I guess this also applies to grey backgrounds since you'd need to define the exact position of a box.
Better use Smartforms or Adobe forms.
If you find out how to achieve this, I'm interested to know how you do this :-)
Good luck!
Best regards,
Zhou
