Printer will not print legal paper

hp 8600
system OS X

Can you explain more on what the issue is? Do you receive an error message, do you get a paper jam or does the print just not print?
First make sure your running the most up to date software. This can be done by click the Apple at the top left of your screen. Then selecting software updates. If you have new updates go ahead and install them.
Also, what program are you tring to print from. If you could give me a little more information it would be extremely helpful in make sure I can resolve your issue. Thanks!

My photosmart C 4750 will not accept glossy paper for printing pictures.

My photosmart C 4750 will not accept glossy paper for printing pictures.
Vista OS 32 bit.
Paper jams completely with either single or multiple sheets.
No changes to the system. Plain paper feed just fine.
Thanks

Hi antonaki,
Did your printer accept glossy paper before and just stopped working with it ?
What kind of glossy paper are you using and what is the weight ?
Here is the product specs for your printer and a list of the types and weights of paper you can use.

Selected print size will not fit current paper size

I am new to iPhoto and I keep getting the following message when I try to print at home - "selected print size will not fit current paper size" - I don't understand this. I am printing to 4x6 photo paper. I have chose 4x6 under paper and I have chosen 4x6 under print. It seems to want to fit the photo horizontally instead of vertically - I can work around this by choosing to print 3x5 onto 4x6 paper, but then the border is quite large.
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks for any help regarding this issue.

Does your printer driver support 4x6 borderless printing?
You have to make sure your printer has a borderless driver ( the Epsons have two, a regular and one with Borderless-sheet feeder in the title and both must be installed and selectable under the Printer menu. If it's a Canon then you must be sure you select 4x6 borderless under the Paper size. Here's a step by step workflow you can try:
Steps for printing 4 x 6 prints from iPhoto:
crop the photo to 4 x 6 in iPhoto.
select the picture you want to print and type Command-P.
*click on the Advanced button in iPhoto's print pane.
*select your Printer and Presets
*select "Paper Handling" in the Copies & Pages menu.
*in the Destination Paper Size section select "Scale to fit paper size: and select the paper size in the menu.
*click on the Standard button.
in the iPhoto print pane select your printer, Presets and Paper size.
select Standard Prints under Style.
select print size in the Size menu and check the "One photo per page: checkbox.
click on the Print button
*These steps may be redundant but might correct those situations where the paper size selected in the iPhoto print pane does not seem to take.

How to configure printer to use bypass tray when printing legal paper and envelopes?

I have a new Phaser 3610. Tray 1 - contains Letter paperBypass Tray - Legal paper and sometimes envelopes How do I configure my printer to know when to use the bypass tray for legal paper when I that is what I want to print to from Excel? In Excel, I have legal selected but it is still pulling the paper from tray 1 instead. I also print envelopes occasionally. If I stick an envelopoe in the bypass tray, I want it to print from there like when using Word to create enveloples, instead it is pulling it from Tray 1. I have tried to adjust both settings on the Printer control panel and the Xerox printer software. I have had no luck.

Hi burnsey23,
Thank you for using the Support Forum. Please take a look at the solution for using smaller paper in the bypass tray. I know it says smaller but use the same steps for larger paper as well. Also make sure that the orientation on Excel is set to the orientation that corresponds to the way the paper is loaded in the tray. If this does not help please consider contacting your support centre for further assistance.

Office Jet Pro 8000 Does Not Recognize Legal Paper

I have an Officejet Pro 8000 and added a second paper tray for legal paper. I know I'm not doing something simple but can't remember how to get printer preferences to show both letter and legal for available paper. I chatted with tech support for an hour and still no answer. Would appreciate any help in getting my printer to recognize legal paper. When I empty the top tray, it does grab the legal paper. Thanks!

OK, good.
Have you gone to: Start, Control Panel, Printers...right click on the printer and selected Printing Preferences? It should be in there.
Also, when you open a print dialog (by selecting File, Print or cntl-P from any program) you should be able to select which tray it prints from.
If you have been on the phone about this for an hour you have probably done this, but it should really be there.
There is a relatively new software/driver package for XP and your printer here.

Officejet Pro 8600 (N911a) will not feed photo paper - Definitive Answer!!!!

DUST IS THE CULPRIT!
As per the HP support page for this specific problem, cleaning the rollerhead (The rubber part of the pick roller), is the solution.
HP Solution here (with pictures).
The specifics are found under the heading:
Solution four: Clean the paper rollers
My printer was able to pick up regular paper, but not photo paper. I updated all drivers (they automatically update weekly). I tried every combination of paper in the tray: 1 sheet of photo paper, a large stack of regular paper with 1 photo paper, large stack with 5 sheets of photo paper. Every combination failed, and the best it got was 1 page of photo paper with the next sheet underneath also coming with it.
I put the thing on its side, and used RUBBING ALCOHOL, (not water as they suggest... rubbing alcohol is much better for electronics, and pretty much any cleaning application.... evaporates very quickly), with a true lint free cloth. Went over it several times with the cloth, rotating while cleaning, and used an AIR DUSTER to clean out the internals, and dry off the PICK ROLLER.
I RESET ROLLER POSITION to the original place, as shown in the HP Photo on support page.
Lastly, ONE SHEET OF PAPER at a time.
It took all that, and I'm still not happy with HP for this massive oversight... but it got my photos printing again. Hopefully it will for you too!!

I managed to find a temporary solution as i need to print a photo urgently :
I sticked a piece of scotchtape along the top border of the paper (on the back side) and then it could feed. And i don't know why, but after this first print with scotchtape, the next photo papers would feed normally.
I hope it helps you guys. See the picture:

Officejet 7000 will not feed paper

My Officejet 7000 will not take the paper from the paper supply tray.
When I send a document to the printer it sounds normal as if the rollers are turning but after a few seconds it stops and the button with the paper icon flashes as if there is no paper (there is paper and I've reloaded and tried reprinting several times).
Just prior to the issue, the printer was in the process of printing a multi-page document. About half way through printing one of the pages I heard a 'clack' type sound. The next page nor any subsequent attempt would feed into the printer.
Any idea what is wrong and if it is worth fixing?
Thank you.

I see... so if the carriage wud nmot move to the center or right side of the printer- try to unplug the printer and manually move the carriage... but if that step will not work.. you need to replace the printer becayse the unit is already defective...

My MX922 ADF will not engage the document to be scanned. Getting the support code 2801. Thoughts?

I've tried running all of the roller cleaning settings, using thicker paper, not sure why the ADF will not take any paper to copy.
Thanks for you assistance.

Hi LCScully,
We can try cleaning the rollers of the ADF to see if this will resolve the issue. To do this, please follow these steps:
1. Please turn off the printer, then open the left-side cover of the ADF. Ensure that no pieces of paper or other obstructions exist, then Inside of the cover, you should see several rubber rollers.
2. With a moistened cotton swab (you can moisten the swab with water or glass cleaner), please clean each of the rollers, being sure to rotate the rollers with the swab instead of directly touching it.
3. Once the rollers have been cleaned, please close the ADF cover.
If you still experience difficulty with the paper feeding in ADF of the printer, it will require servicing. Please call or email us at one of the methods on the Contact Us page to obtain your servicing options.

HP Envy 4500 Will not print legal sized

I have an HP Envy 4500 and Windows 8, and I am trying to print a legal sized document from Microsoft Publisher.
The document will only print half of the page.
When I first purchased the printer, I asked if it was compatible with Windows 8 AND if it would print legal sized, and was told yes. When I began using the printer, it was printing legal sized just fine, not it's only printing half the page.
I have looked under all the settings, everything is set to print legal, the only thing that is not set to legal is under the Network Properties, under the "General" tab, where it says available paper - letter. I cannot get that to change to legal, and am not sure if this is the reason why it's not printing.
I have scanned and cleaned my computer up, there are no viruses, malware, no pop ups, etc.
I have checked to see if there is an update for my printer driver, and there is none.
I need to be able to print legal.
Thanks in advance.

Hi momfor2,
I understand that your printer is no longer printing legal size pages. I will do my best to help you with this issue.
I recommend Resetting the Printer to clear any errors and try printing again. I also recommend Aligning the Cartridges Solution eight: in this document for Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues.
I hope this information helps, please let me know.
Thank you,

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.0 will not print SRA3 size paper

I created an Adobe InDesign file 320x450mm (SRA3) and saved it as a a High Quality PDF. However, when I print from Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 with SRA3 paper size settings, it defaults to A4 and the printer will not register the SRA3 paper size request. The tech from Canon updated the printer driver which increased print dialog options such as Paper Handling, Paper Source etc. (which I didn't have before) and spent over an hour running tests. We both agreed there was a software issue since there were not issues from other software:
I can print SRA3 files from InDesign and Microsoft Word, but not Adobe Acrobat Pro.
This is an ongoing problem since I often receive artwork in PDF format at this size.
My workaround is to place the PDF into InDesign, line up the crops by eye and print to SRA3 paper which works fine until I need to do a double sided print which becomes slightly innacurate and often time consuming.
Canon printer driver specs:
V2.0
iR-ADV C5045/5051 PS (UK)

What happens if you select other paper sizes? Also ensure that 'choose paper source by PDF page size' is not checked at your print dialog.
Kindly let us know your results and if possible please forward us your pdf at [email protected]
Looking forward to help you out.
Thanks

HP Photosmart Plus B209 - will not print photos - tray is not picking up the paper

The printer will not grab the photo paper when I attempt to print a picture. It works just fine when printing other things, such as text from WORD or something from the internet. Photo paper says "single sheet feed" on it, so I place one sheet in the tray.
Any ideas? Am I doing something incorrectly? Thanks

I understand that you are having an issue with the photo tray picking up the paper. I will try my best to help you with this problem. In this document for The All-in-One Does Not Pick Up or Feed Paper From the Photo Tray there are several steps to resolve this issue.
I hope this helps, let me know.

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus paper tray will not go all the way in so cannot print

Have loved this printer for almost two years but suddenly the drawer which holds the paper will not go all the way in so cannot print. Took it to a so-called tech at Office Depot who said that because you cannot open/remove the tray, there is no way to see what is jamming it. Any thoughts? My first call for tech support was answered by a tech here in the US who said they had experience with it and it could be fixed and asked dme to call again when I was back in the office and at the printer. The next four calls were answered overseas and they all had had no experience with this problem.

Printer will not feed paper

Printer will not feed paper. Tried print doctor scan-- unplugging and wiping rollers with lint- free cloth dipped in distilled water. Did'nt work. Printer is 5 yrs old. Is it time for a new one?? Or anything else I can try? I have HP computer-any recommendations if I buy a new inkjet? Need one that will accept card stock. Thanks in advance/

Hello @99stonemo99,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that your Photosmart C309 is not feeding paper.
I would like to help.
It sounds like you have done all the trouble shooting.
Please review the following document for any missed steps.
HP Photosmart Premium Fax (C309a and C309c) All-in-One Printers - 'Out of Paper' Error Message and t...
If the printer will still not feed paper, then it is probably time for a new printer.
The Photosmart family of printers is currently being switched over to the ENVY family.
The new printers are also eligible for the Instant Ink program.
There are about fourteen printers.
Eleven that you can click on to bring up the user manual.
This user manual should tell you if the printer can handle card stock.
