Printing on custom-sized pages (10.625" x 11.69") with my hp photosmart pro b8350.

I need to be able to print on custom-sized pages (10.625" x 11.69") with my HP Photosmart Pro B8350.  In fact, it's the only reason I have this printer.  I used to be able to, and don't know why I can't now.  I did upgrade my OS to Win7 a while back.  That may have been the killer.  It would really annoy me if my OS upgrade has rendered my printer totally useless.
(In case there's no solution to my problem, then here's my next question......)
If I can't do this anymore, I will need to buy a new printer that WILL allow me to print these special custom pages.  Any suggestions?

The envelope size that you might be talking about is a 6.75 Regular, or 6.75R.  If you were printing on window envelopes, it would be 6.75W.  In all my life, I have never heard of a #6 ep.  Yes, you have a challenge with 6.75 because the rollers are not in the correct place for this size of item.  In order for me to print 10R envelopes, I have to insert a precut sheet of paper inside the envelope so that the envelope pulls correctly and doesn't get jammed. You might try this with your 6.75 and see if that works for you.

  • Problems printing on custom sized paper.

    Hello all,
    I am trying to iron out my problems with printing on custom sized tractor paper (using an impact printer). Every time I print a test page, the printer behaves as if it was loaded with tractor paper that is 11 inches long, rather then the 7 inches that the forms are on.
    Before I list my code, let me explain everything that I have done. I am running Windows XP, so I went to the Printers and Faxes folder, clicked File > Server Properties, and created a custom form size (8.5" wide by 7" long with zero margins). Going back to the Printers and Faxes folder, I right clicked on the impact printer and clicked properties. From there I clicked the Device tab and selected my custom form that I had created for the tractor feed section. I then clicked the general tab and clicked the printing preferences. From there I clicked the Paper/Quality tab and selected Tractor Feed for the source. Then I clicked the advance button and selected my custom form for paper size. I also changed the resolution to 360X180.
    The printer itself has hardware settings for paper size. I've went through the menu and selected 7 inches for the form length.
    Now going to the code, I created the paper object and set it size to 612 for width and 504 for height. I also changed the ImageableArea to the size of the paper (which I think eliminates the margins), and set its orientation to 0, 0. I then set the paper object to the PageFormat, and used drawString to test my settings.
    Program compiles fine. When I run it and click the button, I select the correct printer. I also went through the preferences to make sure that all the setting are correct (especially to make sure my custom form is selected.). The closest I can get the string to the corner of the page is 75, 80. On the paper it measures 7/8" from the left, and 1" from the top.
    I have tested my custom form settings with word 2007. I was able to get the text on the very corner of the paper, and the printer was able to determine where the next form started. I believe that my problem lies within my code. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

  • Printing an extra blank page at last in the report with result!

    Dear Team,
    I have one report  ZFI_KKKKK  i.e working fine with the result.
    The problem is that this report prints an extra blank page in the end of the report.
    It should not print the extra empty page. Itu2019s a bit annoying for some users.
    If you execute and print this and you will get a page with results and a blank page with just the title.
    Any input from your side to rectify the issue?
    Thanks and Regards,

  • HP Photosmart Pro B8350 always prints photos in mirror image

    I am having a issue with my photos always coming out with the reverse of the image.
    I have checked the defalut options for the printer mirror image is not selected.
    I also make sure that I do not select mirror image when going to print.
    The OS I am running is XP home and it has all the updates available from Windows as far as I know.
    Please help me get my images to print correct!
    It is driving me crazy!
    Thanks

    Update:
     I have managed to define this problem more clearly.  This is very reproducible, not random.  My system:  HP B8850 printer on Windows XP-Pro, USB.  There is a drastic color failure under certain settings.  I first noticed this when printing a photo of a brilliant pink flower - the flower prints as white, slightly yellow, with no pink at all.  I can produce this result consistently under these conditions:  1) 4x6 or 5x7 paper sizes (I have not tried all possible sizes.)  2) under Photoshop CS3, setting color to be managed by CS3.  3) In the printer preferences dialog, choosing paper type HP Advanced Photo Glossy, or HP Pro Satin (I have not tried all the paper types.)  
    Printing 8.5x11 or larger: No Problem.  Let the printer manage color: No Problem.  Choose Fiber Gloss, or Other Photo Paper: No Problem.  
    My workaround for now is to have CS3 manage the color, selecting the ICC profile of the paper I'm using, but in the printer preferences dialog, choose Other Photo Paper.  This produces slightly inferior color rendition, but I am not as demanding in 4x6 prints as I am in large prints for wall display.  Nevertheless, I would like see this issue fixed in a driver update ASAP.

  • Need my custom webauth page displayed with HTTP instead of HTTPS

    I have a custom webauth page installed that I am using with web passthrough authentication on my WLC2006 in order to put up a acceptable use policy page.
    The WLC uses HTTPS to display this which causes a security certificate warning to appear if I go with the WLC's own self-signed certificate. Is there a way I can get the WLC to use plain HTTP to display this page instead so I can eliminate the warning?
    I have already tried installing a trusted 3rd party certificate on the WLC, but I have this very strange problem where mucking with the WLC's web authentication certificate in any manner causes all network activity on the WLC to break except for CDP and ARP, essentially leaving the WLC dead. Three weeks of troubleshooting with Cisco TAC has yielded no progress on that front so now I am trying to bypass the need for a security certificate altogether since I really don't need to encrypt my acceptable use policy page.

    The documentation doesn't provide very clear direction, does it?
    To download the WLC's default webauth page, browse to the controller's Security > Web Login Page. Make sure the web authentication type is Internal (Default). Hit the Preview button. Then use your browser's File > Save As... menu item to save the HTML into a file. Edit this to your liking and bundle it and any graphics images up into a TAR archive, then upload via the controller's COMMAND page.

  • Custom Master Page issue with Document Set Libraries

    Details: Publishing site using SharePoint 2013.  The SharePoint is on my company's servers.
    Have a custom Master page that has a navigation banner (built with HTML/CSS/javascript).  The site has it applied successfully to the "Site Master Page" but when I also apply it to the "System Master Page", the libraries that have
    Document Set type content do not show the files within.   We'd like to be successful in applying to the "System Master Page" as that allows the banner to show when an actual library is accessed.    Any suggestions, please?

    Thanks. I've been experimenting with this for a few days now, and there's lots I don't understand about why and such, but your process above works. That's a big load off me right now and I really appreciate it. I'm going to be able to survive the initial
    roll-out and implementation of the new site. Going forward, I've got lots to learn and find out, I've already heard that there's a desire to really redesign the master page for the site and subsites, way beyond the little CSS customization I did. Fun.
    If you've got a little time though, perhaps you can provide some explanation. If not, no problem.
    On step 6, when I do as you detail, click the System Master Page and reset all the subsites, it seems to work fine with my custom master page. If I do that with the Site Master Page settings, my custom page causes the redirect issue in the subsites again.
    This is whether I do the Site Master Page by itself, or in conjunction with the System Master Page settings. If I revert back to the Seattle master page in the Site Master Page settings and my custom pate in the System Master Page, the issue goes away again.
    It is completely messing with my head, trying to figure out why that would be, and this is all beside trying to figure out why adding the one little CSS reference to the Seattle master to create my master page breaks things (sometimes!).
    Just fyi, what I've ended up with for now is pulling my custom master page out of the system and using the Alternate CSS URL to add my custom CSS to the Seattle master page on the sites. As I thought about all this, I decided I didn't want to leave the breakable
    custom page out there for some unsuspecting site manager to accidentally pick and get everyone screaming about the broken sites.
    Thanks again,

  • Custom master page issue in subsites

    Greetings!
    I've run into an oddity with a custom master page on my SharePoint 2013 Enterprise server. I copied the html for the seattle master page, renamed it so it wouldn't change the seattle master, made an addition to it to add a reference to a custom css
    file, then threw it back up on the site so SP would make a new .master file with it. I created a new web app and site collection, put the custom css file in the Style Library and added the custom master page to the Master Pages.
    So, all that being done, I changed the look of the top level site to use the new master page and it looks great and seems to be working as expected. We've got a number of subsites planned for underneath this top level site, I'm thinking no problem, just
    put the custom master file in the master pages and we'll be good. So I create a subsite, put the custom master page in the subsite's Master Pages, change the look. The master page and custom css apply and it looks good, but, then the problem starts.
    When I go into a document library and change a view or add a view or delete a view I get back an odd response page from SP. In the url I see this: https://topsite/subsite/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=65001
    and in the body of the message: 69|pageRedirect|owssvr|https://topsite/subsite/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx|
    When I go back into the subsite, whatever change I was attempting when I get these results worked fine.
    So, why does my custom master page work fine on the top level, but not on the subsites? If I switch the subsite back to the Seattle.master, the oddity goes away, so that tells me it's something to do with my custom master page and/or custom css. I did
    some searching for owssvr.dll?CS=65001 and didn't see anything that helped. I checked IIS and the web.config file and don't have ASP.net tracing on that I could find.
    All that the custom css is doing is increasing the size allowable for the site icon (.ms-siteicon-img) to allow for a larger icon (180px square) and it pushes the side Nav Box down a bit to make room for the larger icon and changes the font size for the
    side Nave Box (#sideNavBox). Since it works on the top site, I'm not suspecting the css, but, it's not making sense to me why the custom master page wouldn't work in subsites either.
    I ran into this issue earlier, it was showing up when deleting folders from the document library. I thought I'd made a boo-boo somewhere in creating the custom master page, or how I'd added it, or something (kind of a learn as I go situation here), so I
    deleted the entire web app and recreated it, hoping for a clean start and a good master page and everything would be good. Guess I'm still missing something.
    I swear that the ONLY change I made to the seattle html file for my custom page was to add this line just below the corev15.css line: <!-- SPM:<SharePoint:CssRegistration Name="/Style Library/skcustom.css" after="corev15.css" runat="server"/>-->
    So, that's my sad story. Any suggestions, other than to punt on the custom master page?
    Thanks!

  • Photosmart Pro B8300 will not print on new computer

    I have an HP Photosmart Pro B8350 s/n MY728111C1 bought in 2008 which worked well with my old computer with XP. I now have a new Dell XPS8300 with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
    When I plugged the printer into the computer I received the usual beep and a message to say it was connected. It installed the Photosmart Pro B8300 series driver that came with the computer. When I send a document (incl. from the 'print test page button) everything seems to work but the printer does not respond. The connection must be OK as the computer recognised it and if I click 'clean the print cartridges' the printer responds, though if on the printer properties device setting tab I try and change from Off to Update now I get an error message saying it could not be completed as a printer communication error occured.
    If I watch the 'see whats printing' window the document appears momentarily , says printing and that it is sending it to the 'USB0001 virtual printer port' which is assigned to the printer. I get the bubble message to say the document is printing. However it then disappears and gives the impression it did not reach the printer, or if it did, the printer ignored it!
    The driver is for 'HP Photosmart Pro B8300 series', could it be that it does not work with the B8350? The driver is for 64 bit, could the printer need 32 bit? The print processor is hpzppw71. I have tried some of the others. I have checked as best as I can that all the properties and settings are the same as on my old computer. As well as the 'USB0001 virtual printer port' there is a USB0002 port which is not ticked but is shown assigned to the printer. I cannot change that and using it does not make any difference.
    Can anyone suggest what is going wrong?
    Regards
    Andrew Moffat

    Hi,
    Yes you have encountered the auto sensor looking for white paper.  Here is a link to a document that shows where in the driver settings to go.
    Driver Settings
    Essentially, you will want to change the paper type setting from "automatic" to plain paper.  Click on start, and go to your Printers and Faxes.  In Printers and Faxes, right mouse click on your printer and choose Printing Preferences.  Choose the Printing Shortcuts tab, and Every day Printing.  On the right side, change the Paper type from automatic to plain paper.  Choose Apply and then ok.
    You should be able to print on your colored paper now.  Don't forget to go back and change it to automatic when done.
    Say Thanks by clicking the Kudos Star in the post that helped you. Please mark the post that solves your problem as Accepted Solution.

  • Anyone printing with HP Photosmart Pro B9180?

    Has anyone been successfully printing with their HP Photosmart Pro B9180 after upgrading to Leopard? I am considering buying one of these printers but only if I am sure that it will work with Leopard as a network printer.
    Thanks for any comments.

    I haven't printed a lot yet, but have run a few test prints on my B9180 under Leopard and have been getting very good results, comparable to those I got printing under Tiger.
    So far my tests have been restricted to printing from Adobe Lightroom and onto HP Advanced Glossy paper, but I haven't seen any problems yet. I hope to be trying some other papers and applications over the next few days.
    Note: The print dialog has been completely reorganized under Leopard, and some of the options you need to adjust to get good prints have been relocated to places that aren't obvious, so it pays to poke around.
    Jim,
    Did your monitor appear any different after installing Leopard?
    I did manage to pick my way through the new dialog boxes and found everything that I needed but the color is bad.

  • Default printer does not appear in custom-sized templates

    I posted this question in the 'Pages' community, but received no replies, so I am possting it again here.
    I now have an Epson XP-750 printer-scanner. I have set it as my default printer in System Preferences. When I create a document in Pages whose paper size is one of the standard ones catered for by the XP-750 or open a previously saved one in one of those sizes, or I open a document from one of the templates provided by Pages, the printer shown in Page Setup is always the XP-750. But if I create a document in a custom size (such as a 9 cm x 14 cm correspondence card), Page Setup shows 'Any Printer' until I re-set it to 'XP-750', and even if I save the document or save it as a template and then re-open it, the printer is always shown as 'Any Printer'.
    Is there any way of making the XP-750 'stick' as the printer shown in Page Setup even in these custom documents?

    Thanks for this, Joe Bailey. I am ignorant of programming and cerainly wouldn't dream of trying to make such a modification. But the interesting thing is that if I create a document in MS Word and give it a custom size, the printer's name and paper size are retained after saving, closure and re-opening, though they are not retained in Pages.
    I want to use Pages for my custom-sized correspondence cards because the database that I use for mail merge is in Numbers. I suppose I could export it as Excel and use that with a Word correspondence card, but it all gets a bit messy, especially when it comes to updating the database, and will be a lot of work, as I have several such cards with different letter-heads, etc.
    I contacted Epson about this problem, and they said it was a matter for the application in which the custom-sized document was created — i.e. Pages in my case — so according to Epson it is not a matter of the printer driver.

  • Custom sized prints

    I have been trying unsuccessfully for hours to print a panorama on custom sized paper (5x20). I was able to print panoramas on the earlier version of Aperture (1.5) with my Epson R2400, but cannot on 2.1. In the print dialog box, I set paper size as custom 5x20. In the layout options, I have tried scaling to "custom 5x20", "fit entire page" and "fit entire image". I have tried every paper tray/paper feed on the printer and the printer will not print. Watching the print que in the printer utility while I hit the print button - it reads "printer ready", then "data being sent to printer", then the printer stops without ever starting. I try and resume the printer but it immediately reverts back to a "Stopped" mode.
    Has anyone had any success printing panoramas? Does anyone have any suggestions? Help please. This is so frustrating.
    Thanks.

    Chris and Allen,
    Thanks for your comments. I tried everything I could think of working only in Aperture, including Allen's suggestions and nothing worked. After a lot of trial and error, I finally came up with a work around using iPhoto. Here are the steps:
    1. Go into iPhoto and click on "page setup" in the "file" menu.
    2. Click on "paper size" and then click "manage custom size".
    3. Define the custom size (for margins, I selected the option to let the Epson 2400 set the margins), name it and save it.
    4. Close out of iPhoto and go into Aperture.
    5. In Aperture, in the "file menu" go to "print image".
    6. In the "Paper Size" dialogue box, the newly defined custom size created in iPhoto will appear. Select that as the paper size option.
    7. In the "Layout Option" dialogue box, select "fit entire page"
    8. In the "Border Option" dialogue box, set the appropriate margins.
    9. Finish with the "printer settings" of choice and then print.
    Its a cumbersome process, but it doesn't really take that long and I have printed several panoramas now using this work around.

  • What is your export process for printing custom-sized books?

    I will be printing my first custom-sized book created in Aperture.
    Anyone have much experience doing this?
    I am assuming that exporting to pdf and then sending that file to print is the process, but I'm wondering if the compression will affect the image quality enough to be concerned for a 9''x9'' book?

    Lots of experience here.
    I outsource albums either as single page or double spread. Unfortunately Aperture only allows single page export, not as a full spread (required by some printers).
    Unfortunately the Export options are a little limited, so read on
    If you click on the Print button for your custom sized book, you'll get a dialog. Choose the PDF button at the bottom and a bunch of options will appear.
    If you just want to export a proof for a client to review, you can select Save PDF to Aperture. The files will import as 200dpi JPEGs / TIFFs depending upon the option you choose. You can then export to a sharing service / web album etc.
    If you want to export at a different dpi then DON'T choose the Save PDF to folder as JPEG option... again you'll get just 200dpi images. So what you can do is choose the Save as PDF option. When you choose that it will export the whole book as single pages in a PDF, with the embedded JPEGs (fully quality jpeg 12) at 350dpi (I know as I've checked this)....
    You can then do 2 things:
    1. For services that require a single pages, run an automator action to run through the PDF and export the images at your desired DPI and change the colour profile (eg sRGB). Your images are then exported to the same folder. Here's the action: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/117989/Save%20PDF%20to%20Folder%20as%20JPEG.zip
    2. For services that require a double page spread instead, run an automator action to run through the PDF, change the colour profile and DPI and then import to Aperture.
    What I do is have an entirely separate project called Album Proofs and import all images into there. When the action runs, it will ask where to put the images - place them in Album Proofs. I then have a custom book size that is twice the width of the album you are creating (e.g. if making a 12x9, the size is 24x9) with no margins or spacing. Then create a template album (you can reuse by right clicking and selecting Duplicate Book) that has two images per page, each image taking up EXACTLY half of the page (again no margins or spacing). I then drag the images I imported into this template, then auto-fill unplaced images. Your images are then layed out as spreads... So now what you do is re-export using the Save as PDF print option. Then run the action described in 1 above.
    Here's the action: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/117989/Save%20PDF%20to%20Aperture%20as%20JPEG.zip . If it doesn't work use the other action above and just import manually.
    Hope this helps

  • Printing from Custom Page Size

    I am trying to print on custom DVD cover paper, 8.25 by 11.75", 1/2 margins with perferations on those margins. I set it all up and the program prints too far to the left and too far down, missing the set margins, 1/2 inch all around,  and the pereferations. Let's hope someone can help me out.
    I have been trying to solve this for quite a while. My work around is print on legal paper and trim. Or, I was told, save as a PDF and print that, which I have yet to try
    I have done all kinds of fliers and brochures and never has this problem until I got into custom page size.
    I suspect "Operator Error".
    I have the same problem on two diifferent system set ups.
    Win 2000, PageMaker and an HP printer, DeskJet 932 .
    Vista, InDisign, an Epson Printer Artisan 50 Series, brand new.
    I can set it up perfectly in the program and on the screen in either program but no matter what I do it will not print out correctly. I have combed through the printer settings and can find nothing wrong, but there is a solution someplace.
    Thank you!
    Cheers!  Phil

    How far "off" is the positioning? +/- a few mm is the best you can hope for on a desktop printer, with some drift from sheet to sheet being very likely.
    If it's more than that, it might be that's you've included marks and/or set page positioning to upper left instead of centered.
