Printing transparencies on the PhotosmartPro B8850

Hi,
I am having trouble printing 13 X 19 " transparencies on my PhotosmartPro B8850 printer. It simply does not recognize the film (Arista OHP Transparency film for dye and pigment ink jet printers). I get a message that the size or type pf paper is not correct. I know that the size is not a problem because I can print on 13 X 19 " opaque paper. It seems to me that the integrated optical sensor is going nuts because it is trying to detect reflected light but it doesn't because the film is transparent, or at least that is what I am guessing. Is there a way to tell the printer that I am trying to print a transparency? There has to be a way!
Thansk,
Roger

Before you print, go to the printing Preferences window for the printer, and look for an option called 'Paper Type'. When this is set to Automatic, the paper sensor will sense the paper. If you choose the paper type you want to print on from this list, then the paper sensor won't sense the paper before printing.

  • Help re LJ 1505 problem printing transparencies

    I am trying to print transparencies on my 1505 and need them to be solid black as they are used as final artwork for screen printing on card and material.
    The artwork is created in Photoshop/Ilustrator using a PC or a Mac. But every print regardless of the transparency stock I use
    is not solid black and is at best dark grey. This is no good for creating screens as it lets to much light through.
    I have allowed Photoshop to color manage and Printer to do the same but get same grey printout.
    Anybody got tips, ideas or technique for getting solid black from this printer.
    Thanks

    Thank you for your ideas. I will try them when I get back home later today. I have tried printing directly from firefox in windows and that has worked fine with the work Laser printer. (I am more and more confused).
    I kept trying last night and I believe the fundamental problem is getting the Photosmart P1000 to print landscape !! I have been using the recommended driver; but perhaps I should try one of the others.

  • Re: How do I print transparencies?

    OK. We got a new HP notebook with Windows 8 and can no longer print transparencies on my HP Photsmart Premium printer. It seems as if the printer does not recognize the sensing strip and I do not know which kind of paper to choose from the print menu. We have been on the phone with the HP help line and they don't seem to know either. Any suggestions? Right now the transparency goes straight through the printer and then printing begins on the next plain paper page. HELP!!!

    @Dltc The printer does not seem to have Transparency media as a selection in the driver, I would suggest "Other specialty media".  Make sure to feed the transparency media with the strip facing the back of the printer (strip first into the tray) and face up.

  • HP Envy 5530 - computer won't recognize that the printer is on the same network

    Product Name: HP ENVY 5530
    OS: Windows 8.1
    No changes made to system before issue occured
    I bought this wireless printer last week (5-13-14). I have a working printer that was connected to my husband's work laptop via USB cable, but needed one to connect to our family computer, which is in a different room with the modem/router. My husband travels for work, so I want to be able to print without disturbing him and while he is away on business. I turned the printer on and connected it to my network with the password and printed out the network settings and the wireless report. There are about 8 other wireless networks in range of my printer (we're in a residential neighborhood), but we aren't having a problem with it connecting to someone elses stuff. I went online to download the driver software and it downloaded fine. I clicked on the desktop icon to launch the control panel for the printer and it opened up for me to install the printer. I went through every step and it won't recognize the IP address or the name of the printer, and therefore won't open up for me to do any scanning. Both the printer and PC are connected to the same network, but they won't recognize each other when it comes to going through the HP software to scan or print. I can go into word or something to print and it will let me print wirelessly, but it won't do anything from the control panel of the print software because it thinks the printer hasn't been installed. I've had Windows 8 on this computer since I bought it in 2012, but I have the computer defaulted to go to my desktop instead of the start screen, so I don't know if that makes a difference. I am going to go ahead and remove the device and uninstall everything so I can try again later. If I had known this was going to be a problem, I would have not bought the printer and just kept on doing what we'd been doing.

    Hello SarahD_07,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand you are having some troubles getting the Envy 5530 printing wireless on Windows 8.1. Are you able to take the I.P address of the 5530, type it into the address bar of your web browser and hit enter. Does it load a page about the printer?
    Run the Print and Scan Dr to see if it can clear up the scanning issues if you can view that above page.
    I will look out for your reply,

  • Is it possible to be connected with a 3G modem for internet access and a WiFi router for printer sharing at the same time?

    For our only internet access we have a 3G wireless modem. I have since purchased a WiFi printer and router to connect all the comptuters to in the house. The PCs have no problem with using both the 3G connection and the WiFi signal at the same time to print, however, the MacBook Pro will not connect to the 3G network and the router, it will drop the internet access from the modem and attempt to connect via WiFi (which has no internet access). Is there a solution that is available to remedy this? I attempted to create an adhoc printer network, however, the macbooks again will not print off of this, only the PCs. And I'm getting a bit frustrated overall with this.

    The 3G wireless modem is on one of the PC's correct?
    Why don't you pass the Internet through the Ethernet port to the router via Cat5 cable, then have that transmit a Wifi signal that everything else can use, then connect the printer to the router for print sharing?
    You would have to turn off the wifi on the comptuer with the 3G modem as it's physically connected to the router and can't connect to the other machines as they are all connected to the router for sharing.
    The Mac has the ability to pass, Internet Sharing in the System Preferences.
    Do you have software for the Mac to run the 3G modem?

  • I am having a problem printing emails from my Hotmail account when I am using Mozilla Firefox as my browser. When I click on the Print icon above the email and then proceed to print, the output on my Canon Pixma 830 printer is in extremely small type.

    I am not sure about all those installed plugins you have listed below.
    I know that I can always copy the text of my email and paste it into a Word file to be printed, but that is a hassle, and the output is not quite the same as when I print directly from the Web.

  • Header Details to be Printed only for the line item details.

    Hi All,
    I have the following requirement.
    I have Page1 with the Logo, Header Window, Vendor Window, Send Invoice To, Delivere Invoice To and Main Window. Main Window Starts from the middle of the page. In the Page2 i have Logo, Header window and Main Window. In the Page3 i have only Main Window.
    In the Footer of the Main Window i have Placed the Terms and conditions which should always be Printed in the New Page. So in the footer i have given a command "Go to New Page " and given the page as Page3.
    The requirement is Logo,and Header Window should appear only for the Line items and not for the Terms and conditions.
    For the Page1 i have given the Next Page as Page2. Suppose if there is only one line item then it Prints in the first Page itslef and the control flows to the Page2 and since in the page2 i have given the condition for the Logo and header window to print only if line item is more than 1 and since Main Window is starting from the middle there is a blank Space appearing in the start of the page.
    The command i have given in the footer to trigger new page that is page3 is not getting triggered. If there are more than one line item then its printing the logo and header window and so there is no blank space appearing and it is working fine.
    Please let me know how to avoid this blank space and move my main window to the start of the Page if there is only one line item.
    Thank you.

    Dear Vasudha,
    I am a little bit confused regarding your query,
    "In the Footer of the Main Window i have Placed the Terms and conditions which should always be Printed in the New Page. So in the footer i have given a command "Go to New Page " and given the page as Page3. "
    When you say footer of main window does it mean , that you are using a table inside your main window and the command node your have inserted is in the footer of the table ?.I hope it is, because my suggestion is based on this assumption.
    Well my suggestion for your issue is,
    1.I  hope you are aware we can trigger a next page in two ways, one by setting the next page static attribute & second using  the command node which you have used.In your case you will have to use a combination of both.
    2.I feel your First page design is ok. Set its static next page attribute to PAGE2. Similarly set the static next page attribute for PAGE2 as PAGE2 itself. This should take care of your table which you have placed in the main window. If the table contains only one lineitem it will get over in the first page itself. If the lineitems are more in the table, it will automatically triggerPAGE2 (since static next page attribute for PAGE1 is PAGE2)  and the remaining line items will be displayed. Now no matter how many lineitems you have ,PAGE2 will be triggered repeatedly(since static next page for PAGE2 is PAGE2 itself) until the entire data in your table is displayed.
    In this way your requirement of printing the logo and header windows for the data lineitems only will be fulfilled.
    3.Now the last catch in your case is the printing of PAGE3(The terms and condition page) on an entirely new blank page.
       In the footer section of the table which you have used,  use a command node set to PAGE3.  After the command node and under the same  footer section now insert your terms and condition lineitem.
    Also Check the "at End of table" checkbox and uncheck " AT PAGE BREAK" under OUTPUT OPTIONS tab for the footer section.
    So now this footer section will be triggered only once after all the data in the table is displayed
    4. So now if there is only one lineitem, before the default second page is triggered the command node will trigger the PAGE3 and the terms and condition will be displayed.Else if there are more lineitems the page2 will be triggered again and again and finally when all the lineitems are over, the footer of the table will get triggered. So the command node will take you to the PAGE3 wherin the terms and condition will only be displayed.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Riju

  • When I try and print a web page in the print screen ALL the Print Frame options are greyed out. It won't let me print a page as I see it. I need to pring a page as is. How do I do it in the new 8.0??

    I go to print and try to select the radio button to print all frames, but It's not working

    The '''Print Frames''' options are greyed out unless the web page is made with Frames. I-Frames don't work the same.
    Check out this '''''frames test page''''' - http://www.draac.com/framestest.html <br />Is the '''Print Frames''' part of the print dialog box active?
    As far as printing a page as you see it, many web pages use '''print.css''' files for print-media. The print.css specifies exactly what is to be sent to the printer and it can control the formatting of the printed page.

  • Accessing print services in the client machine(browser)

    Query: We had migrated a forms-3 form to forms-6i. The forms-3 form used a userexit to call a related Pro*C functionality that helped finally to print the report file generated during the process into the client machine's printer.
    How do we take care of this functionality in forms-6i? That is, the user should be able to do the printing from the forms screen in the browser..
    Please help..

    Thank you for replying..
    We have earlier tried the web.show_document procedure to call the .html or .txt file....But in forms-3(back-end on a UNIX server with the Pro*Cs), an ascii file was created at the server side in the client's home directory, and this file was accessed and used from the front-end machine(a UNIX terminal or a QVTTerm like application on Windows), to be printed out onto the printer device configured on the client machine...As in your reply, through web.show_document also the printing can be finally done..But the user has to wait for the new browser window to get opened and show the content and then print it...These steps were not needed in forms-3, that is, on a click of the print-related-button, it did the job...So, in the same way, can something be done on the forms-6i form(use a printer-javabean or something else), to get the functionality???
    Please help..

  • How do I get my printer to match the colours of the image as I see it on screen?

    How do I get my printer to match the colours of the image as I see it on screen? My HP Office Jet Pro L7680 printer tends to print my images with a bias towards red compared to the image I am seeing on screen with Lightroom 5 using a Mac with Retina 5 screen. Would appreciate any expertise on how to calibrate the printer to the screen

    You have two options. The first method costs nothing but is not as accurate and the second means buying hardware and investing some time. The fastest way to get things closer is to download the color profile from the printer manufactures site for the printer and paper combination you are using. Install it on you Mac and relaunch LR. This is best when the paper and printer are both from the same company; in your case, HP. If the paper is not made by HP, you can often find profiles for your paper/printer by going to the paper maker's web site and doing a search for the appropriate profile.
    The other alternative is to purchase a piece of hardware such as the ColorMonki which can be used to not only profile your monitor for color balance but also you printer/paper as well as your camera. When all of your devices agree on what color 118,118,118 means, you get the same color from capture to print but this is also an expensive option and there is a lot of time involved in building your own color profiles. The results however, are much more accurate.
    Once you have a color profile installed, the next step involves doing soft proofing. Once you have your image looking the way you want it to in LR, open it in the soft proof option. This will show you how your print will look using the color profile for the paper/printer you are using. During the process, you will be shown the print on your screen which may look off. Use the small triangle in the upper-right corner of the histogram to turn on the out-of-gamut warning. This will highlight any parts of your image which contain colors your printer can't handle. Use the rendering intent options to decide how you want these colors handled (relative or perceptual). Check them both and use the one you like best. You can also make additional changes at this point if required before you generate the JPG image. Make sure to save it as a max quality JPG using the sRGP profile. Once saved, you can send this image to your printer or even to a lab as the process is the same.The attached link should get you to a video showing how to use the ColorMunki hardware/software but, more importantly, shows you how to prepare an image for printing (in this case, for a lab) using soft proofing with the color profile created (or downloaded).--Great Color from Your Lab Prints – Every Time! on Vimeo
