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.

HP LaserJet 4200 -- manual feed tray not working after 10.6 install

Hi all...
One of my users pointed this out to me. I'm looking for confirmation (or a solution)?
We have an HP LaserJet 4200 printer added to our mac clients as an IP printer. Under 10.5.8, printing to "Tray 1 (Manual)" goes where you think it would -- to the manual feed tray.
Upgrading to 10.6.1? Manual print jobs are going to the internal "Tray 3".
It's the same behavior if I use the 10.6.1 "5.3.0" printer driver or the HP Printer Update 2.1 updated "5.4.0" version.
Can anybody else confirm/deny the problem with their 4200 printer under 10.6? If you can confirm it, do you know of a fix (short of rolling back to 10.5.8).
A remove and readd of the printer did not help here. Unfortunately.
Thanks!
- Steve

Resolved this two ways:
1) the "gutenprint" driver worked.
2) The larger problem was the manual tray had been set to "A4" size.
I used the web admin interface to set this to "any size" and "any" type and that fixed the problem with the 5.4.0 "LaserJet 4200 Series" default printer driver...
Luckily, somebody else on campus had one of these printers and we were able to compare the printer setting differences to figure this out.
I hope this helps somebody!

HT201317 how do I save my photo stream photos to my camera roll? It's not working.

how do I save my photo stream photos to my camera roll? It's not working.

Photo stream photos are not included in your backup, only camera roll photos are. Photo stream photos can only be accessed from an iOS device or computer that is signed into your iCloud account and has photo stream enabled. However, they only remain in iCloud for 30 days; if the photos are older than that they are no longer available to download.
If the photos were in the camera roll on your 3GS when you last backed it up, restoring the backup to another iPHone should recover them. If this is an iCloud backup, you'll need to do this before the backup is 180 days old or Apple will delete it.
If you need to restore the iCloud backup to your 4s, back up your 4s to your computer using iTunes, then restore the iCloud backup of your old phone to it, import the recovered photos to your computer (as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then restore your phone to the iTunes backup your made earler to recover your data.

How can I print from my ipad to the plain paper tray not the photo tray?

I have a new
HP Photosmart Plus All-in-One Printer - B209a
and an ipad on my showroom floor.
I let my customers use the ipad to browse through photos of items that are not on display, then print some of the photos. Right now the print job always goes to the photo tray - but I want it to print on plain letter size paper. If there is no photo paper in the tray, the print job fails with an out of paper error.
Is there a way to get this printer to print photos from the ipad photos app onto the standard paper tray?
Thanks in advance for any insight you can give me.
Richard

Photos will always print from the photo tray, if the printer has one. This cannot be configured by the user currently.

Importing photos from my iPhone is incredibly slow or not working anymore

After upgrading from iPhoto to Photos, I can't import photos from my iPhone anymore after connecting it to my 5K iMac.
When I do connect my iPhone to my iMac, it takes over a minute or two for just the "Import" button to appear next to the global Photos/Shared/Albums/Projects navigation.
The next problem is that my thumbnails are loading incredibly slow, with just the thumbnail placeholder graphics appearing at a glacial pace without the actual thumb of the photo in question.
These issues are terribly annoying and killing the excitement of the long overdue and great upgrade.
Many thanks in advance to whoever can help me resolve these issues.
SavJag

Ok, this is incredible, but within 5 minutes of posting this problem, and after 6 to 8 views (hopefully by Apple Tech Support), these issues seem to be fixed.
I just tried Photos again (my iPhone was already connected to my iMac) and boom, the Import button was already there in the global nav.
The thumbnail gallery of my already imported and new items showed up immediately.
When I hit "Import", my new items started importing immediately and turning up under the Photos section.
Apple Support Community / Tech Support, a big thank you to whoever fixed this. Hugely appreciated.

Hp laserjet 100 color mfp m175nw not working anymore – MAC OSX YOSEMITE

After installing the YOSEMITE update my hp laserjet 100 color mfp m175nw not printing anymore. Connection is USB. And OSX Drivers are all up-to-dae. Also i heared similar problems with other printers than HP.
Any help? Thanks alot.

Hi @Ankanb ,
I understand that you are having issues since the Apple Security Update was done on the computer, after uninstalling and reinstalling the software, you can't find the printer now. I would be happy to help you.
I have provided some steps to try, to see if we get the printer working again over the network.
Print a Configuration page to see if the printer still has a valid IPv4 address.
Printing a Configuration Report.
If you have a valid IPv4 address for the printer then try and access the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Safari)
Did it load the webpage?
Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Close all applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
Restart the computer..
Reset the Printing System:
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.
Click Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system.
Then click the + sign to add the driver, highlight the printer. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name) Then click on the Add button.
If you are having network issues, then add the printer through the IP Protocol.
After clicking the + button, select the IP icon across the top, type in the printer's IP address, select jet direct below and then Apply. (you won't be able to scan but you will be able to print, this way we will know if it is a Multicasting issue, if the Mac sees the printer)
If the Multicasting is turned off on the router, you won't be able to add the printer as a bonjour device.
Test the printer.
How is the printer connected? (Ethernet/Wireless)
If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know.
Have a nice weekend!

HP laserjet 400 M401 dne will not work with Word 2010 paper source other pages

HP laserjet 400 M401 dne connected via USB to Dell 980 with Windows 8.1 (64 bit) using HP laserjet 400M401 PCL 6 class driver. In Word 2010 Go to print settings and paper tab. The printer has two trays set first page option to one tray and "other pages" to the other tray and it will always print all pages to the first page option. All paper tray settings on the printer to automatic and letter and plain. If set the printer setting to tray 2 and the word setting for other pages to tray 1 that does not help either. Unable to find a setting scenario where the other pages will print to another tray.

Hi Travis,
This sounds more like a Graphic Driver or Graphics Card problem. You might try switching out the Graphic Card if that is possible on the system.
Another outside possibility might be a corrupt user profile, so you could create a different profile on the machine and try it. However, my guess would be the Graphics Card is failing.
Are you also certain there are no other Office add-ins loaded that might be causing this. Start Word in Safe Mode and see if this clears the problem. If it does, then systematically disable add-ins one at a time until the culprit is found.
Hope this helps

The Add Printer button on the eprintcenter website on my screen is not working.

I just registerd on the eprintcenter.com site and now I am trying to click on the +Add Printer button/icon to add my printer and it is not working. I have tried it in all different web browsers and it doesn't take me anywhere on any of the browsers. Sometimes I get the "javascript&colon;void(0)" message down in the left hand bottom portion of my screen when my mouse goes over that button. What is wrong? Is it your site or my computer?

HP B9180 Photosmart Pro Printer - Specialty Media Tray Not Working

HP B9180 PHOTOSMART PRO PRINTER
SPECIALTY MEDIA TRAY PROBLEM
I’ve had my HP B9180 Photosmart Pro Printer for about 2-1/2 years. My computer operating system is Windows XP (with up-to-date service packs) on a Dell XPS PC. The printer is connected directly to the computer via a USB port. It is not connected to a network router. The printer stays on continuously, is very clean & dust free and kept covered when not in use. I use the specialty media tray almost exclusively for loading the larger/heavier media. The specialty media tray suddenly stopped working recently but all other printer operations continue to function properly.
When the tray is lowered, NOTHING HAPPENS. The printhead assembly does not raise up to prepare for loading the media and there is no sound, no grinding, etc. The printer screen does not change to instruct me to load the media and there are no error messages. It just continues to read “READY”.
I have examined the tray and it still lowers and raises nice & smooth. The guide grooves the tray rides on are clean & unobstructed. Nothing appears to be broken on the tray or in the grooves. There is a small plastic arm at the bottom of the outer left guide groove that I thought may start (?) the activation process of the printheads when the lowered tray rests on it. This arm is spring-loaded and appears to be working freely with no binding. Manual operation (with my finger) of the arm does not activate anything.
Early on, when the problem first started, I tried leaving the tray lowered and on two occasions, after leaving it lowered for as much as a couple of hours, it started working on its own. Since then, I have been unable to make it work at all.
I have tried:
Turning the printer off for several minutes, then back on.
Opening all doors to check for jams or anything unusual.
Lowering and raising the specialty media tray multiple times.
Using main tray (hoping it would maybe vibrate it into working).
Turning the printer off, unplugging everything for up to 10 minutes.
Downloaded & ran the HP Hardware Diagnostic Utility (Passed).
Downloaded & ran the HP Print Diagnostic Utility, v4.1 (Passed).
Checked printer updates. Firmware & updates are OK.
Posted on the HP Support Forum for assistance (no response).
I did not run the HP Home Network Diagnostic Utility because I do not have the printer connected to my network router. It is directly connected to my computer via a USB port.
This problem has come up on the HP Support Forum a few times but I don’t believe there has been a response. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I just installed or used the same specification of Printer you mentioned above in fact all you need do is to first update your macbook pro afterwards connect your printer to your mac it will ask you if you want to download software for the printer click yes and in two minutes follow the steps and you're done. You don't need the driver nor do you need to download from an external source.
I hope this helps.

Photo Gallery hyperlinks to "One of my Pages" not working

I manage a website for our lab at the University of Notre Dame. We have used one of the Photos pages to include pictures of all our personnel. The pictures have captions with the person's name. The names were hyperlinked to more information about that person. Some of these links were to pages on the same site and some were to external sites. The site was originally created using iWeb '08, but I now update it on a new computer with iWeb '09. After publishing it again, none of the hyperlinks on this page work. The navigation bar and links on other pages seem to be fine though. Is there a way to resolve the problem without reverting to iWeb '08?

I'm having the same problem. Can you give me an idea of how this is possible using AJAX or point me at a tutorial?
for every iweb photos page iweb generates an rss.xml file with it, the captions are kept in the rss.xml .
so you can use ajax method to read the rss.xml and figure out what need to be manipulated.
there is no tutorial of any kind for iweb ajax widgets, I have not seen any one yet to crack an iweb widgets (this forum or elsewhere); so you are on your own.
that said you can hyperlink photos page captions and thumbnails with simple javascript (simple mapping lookup), but you still need to know javascript and iweb widgets.
here is my simple javascript sample: http://temp.cyclosaurus.com/NoThumbnails/Photos.html
thumbnails and captions are hyperlinked to apple, ggogle and yahoo.
code is linked to the sample, you'll have to adapt it to your own needs.

Photo icon in camera app on iPhone 4 not working

I updated my iPhone 4 to the software 5.0 when it first came out a few months back. When I go to my camera app, on the bottom left, there is an icon that takes you to your photos. When I press it, it says, "No photos or Videos" and I do have photos in my photo library. I hope this made sense. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Do you have the flast set to Auto or On? If you tap the button quickly the camera may not have enough time to evaluate the lighting conditions, so if it is set to Auto it may not choose the correct flash setting. Note also that the camera takes a picture when you REMOVE your finger from the screen. You can also press either volume button on the side of the phone, and if you hold a volume button it will take multiple pictures in quick succession.

HT4101 my camera says check connected device. USB device uses too much power. I have got the photos on before with persistence but this is not working

help

Is the USB drive you are trying to connect a USB thumb drive or a USB hard drive?
I have 4 USB thumb drives - an old one at 250MB, newer ones at 1GB and 4GB, and a new one at 8GB. All work in the camera connection kit except the 250MB (requires too much power). Suggest you get a new USB drive.
Use your camera's SD card.
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Can not view new photo's I have restored phone and still not working.

Can not view pictures on my iphone 4 I have upgraded to ios 5 a few days ago but this problem occurred today.

Did you restore it as new? Or from a back up? If from a back up, restore it as new. If that doesn't help, you may have a hardware issue. Take it to your local Apple or Verizon Store.

Scanning from HP Laserjet PRO 200 - icon does not work

get the message "scanner communication cannot be established." have checked the network and printing is working. Did have some problems with the wireless network, but now it is working, but the scanning capabilty is not. Tried to scan to file using the command on the printer/scanner but had file name and password problems. So, now I can not scan from the scanner to my PC nor can I use the "SCAN" icon to scan. Any suggestions?

Hello MLSCEJN,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
Thanks for the informative post about your scanning issue with the LaserJet. When you installed, is there any errors or messages suggesting something failed or could not be completed? Have you tried updating the LaserJet's firmware?
HP LaserJet Pro Series Firmware Update Utility<---
I suggest that you perform a complete uninstall and then a Disk Cleanup on the computer. Once done, update the firmware and then install again. Let me know if this helps!
Have a great weekend!
