Printing watermarks on Officejet Pro 8610

I did have an HP Officejet 4632 that had the capabilities of printing a watermark through the printer settings on .pdf documents. Since I upgraded to an HP Officejet Pro 8610, that option is no longer available. A watermark cannot be added to a .pdf document without purchasing the upgraded Adobe Acrobat software for $12.99 per month, which I will not do. I need this watermark for .pdf tax return documents created from my tax softward program. Any ideas without printing the watermark on plain paper before printing the document?
This question was solved.

Hi,
Use an alternative driver which support a such as a workaround:
Under Devices and Printers right click the 8610 icon and select Printer Properties. from the Ports tab take a note of the checked port of the driver and close this dialog (you will need it later).
Click on Add Printer, click on "The printer that I want isn't listed".
Select a Local Port and press on Next.
Select the same port as used by the driver and click on Next.
Select HP from the Manufecturer list, select the HP Deskjet 6940 / 6980 and follow the Wizard to add the printer.
Within the Effects tab you may add a watermark.

  • Times New Roman font will not print on HP Officejet Pro 8610

    My new HP Officejet Pro 8610 will not print documents, spreadsheets, or printer test pages containing Times New Roman font (of any size).  It does not put a job in the print queue.  In Excel, I receive the "Generic_2_Q294552"  error message. My setup:  An HP Pavilion Elite computer NY809AV-ABA e9119t; running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1; HP Laserjet 5L, HP PCS 1310, and HP D4360 all print the font just fine. My new printer:  HP Officejet Pro 8610, firmware revision FDP1CN1502AR, connected via USB cable.  [Also connected via ethernet cable to cable modem.] What I have done so far to troubleshoot the last 3 days:  Reinstalled the printer (3 times), the most recent today with an installer issued today; rebooted the printer; rebooted the computer after each significant change; updated the firmware in the printer; tried two different USB cables; tried printing the fonts in Microsoft Word 7, Microsoft Excel 7, and directly from the font file; reinstalled the Times New Roman fonts from backup; visited the forums and tried all of the solutions I could for any similar problem; tried the winprint, hpzppw71, and hpzpplhn print processors with both RAW and NT EMF 1.008 data types; found and repaired all problems I could find with any hardware and software, as well as updating all software to the latest version.

    Thanks for trying to help.  I am happy to report my experiments and results. Microsoft Word:I open a blank document.  Type something in.  Select the entire text.  Change the font.  When I change to some fonts (those listed on my DOES print) the document shows up in the print queue and prints.  When I change to the other fonts (those listed as DOES NOT print) nothing happens.  It just sits there.  No messages.  No crash.  Nothing in the print queue.  I can walk away for hours (as I have done) and come back and nothing has happened.  When I change back to a DOES print font it prints.  Change it back to a DOES NOT print font and it doesn't.  Repeatable.  Consistent.  No configuration changes or installs have changed it. Microsoft Excel:I open a black spreadsheet.  Type something in.  Highlight the entire text.  Change the font.  When I change to a DOES print font it prints.  When I change to a DOES NOT print font I get this: "Microsoft Office Excel    Your file could not be printed due to an error on HP Officejet Pro 861   on 0.  There are several possible reasons:. There may not be enough memory available.  Try closing files and programs you aren't using.. If you use a network for printing, there may be a problem with the network connection or the printer driver.. There may be loose cables or a bad connection between your computer and printer.For more information about troubleshooting printing problems, chick Help.   Show Help >>" when I click the Show Help >> button I get: "This error can be caused by:
    General problems: The printer may be unavailable, the network may be down, the communication port to the printer may be corrupt or unavailable, a hardware error at the computer may have occurred (out of paper, paper jam, out of ink, out of toner, etc), and a language setting may need to be reset from the Regional Options control panel.
    Local problems: There are several reasons for a local printer (a printer that is attached directly to your computer) to fail:
    Check to make sure the printer has paper, ink, and/or toner and check the cables.
    If the printer appears to be functional and a printer test by the printer itself indicates the printer is working properly, then check the cables, printer port from the computer, and configuration of the printer at the computer.
    Occasionally, an application can develop a conflict with the printer driver and cause a memory leak which corrupts the printer port. If all else fails, restart the computer, recycle the power to the printer, and try printing again.
    Occasionally it is even necessary to delete the printer driver and reinstall the latest version of the printer driver.
    Network problems: There are various reasons for a network printer to be inaccessible: the name may have changed, it may be out of paper, out of ink, out of toner, down for maintenance, the network could be down, or a printer job previous to yours has stalled due to incorrect settings on the user's computer who last submitted a print job, or even your printer driver cannot communicate correctly with the printer. Network related printer failures are usually best handled by your local technical support.
    Memory problemsn occasion, large print jobs with complex graphics or consisting of several hundred pages, which can consume large quantities of memory on the printer, may cause a problem (especially if there was an over run of memory at the printer). You may want to try reducing the amount of complex graphics in your print job, or break the print job up into smaller segments and see if that corrects your problem. It is not uncommon for a very complex graphic to have a defect or error which prevents it from printing on any printer. It may be necessary to load new or revised graphic converters or drivers in order to alleviate a problem of this type.
    For more information about fixing problems related to printing, see Microsoft Windows Help and Support. (Click the Start button, and then click Help and Support.)" Excel keeps right on going.  Doesn't crash.  Just pops up the gray dialog box.  Behind the box popped up is another box (that goes away then the dialog box is closed) saying:  "Now printing page 1 of 1'Book1' on theHP Officejet Pro 861     on 0" The format of these messages does seem strange now that I look at it so carefully while trying to type EXACTLY what I see.   I think I will try to shorten the name of the printer. Once again, Respectfully submitted for analysis, review, suggestions, and criticism. Tom

  • Cannot print locally on OfficeJet Pro 8610, but I can print via web service

    Hello,
    I just installed an OfficeJet Pro 8610 with the downloaded install. I found my printer on the local wireless network and it connected. I cannot print anything from my Windows 8 HP laptop! I print from Word (or anywhere) and I says completed, but nothing prints. I can even see the print spool and it looks like it goes through, but nothing prints. I even tried direct USB connection with the same problem.
    I can however print from the web using the ePrint (email to the printer), but that is impractical.
    This is a weird problem.
    I had a friend connect using their computer and it worked (wirelessly) and I can even print from my iPhone locally.
    This points to the HP laptop - I have removed the printer, reinstalled the drivers, ran all windows updates, reboted (computer and printer) multiple times and the same problem persists.
    Please help - very frustrated and ready to return the stupid printer.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8610 Will Not Print

    I have a new Officejet Pro 8610 which has been working fine but today it would not print. Everyting else still worked, the printer is detected by USB and all of the cleaning/ alignment procedures work from my PC as normal. Scaning a document worked OK as well. I tried to run a test print from the printer list on windows, this didn't work either. So I uninstalled the supplied software and reinstalled it again, still would not print. At this point I installed the software on my old laptop and connected if by USB again and it worked fine, printed straight away. The only difference in the install was when selecting which additional programmes to install, one said it was already installed even though I had unistalled the software before. That programme was the Product Improvement Study which I can't get rid of. Everytime it is still there. Is this causing my problems and how do I get it off my PC as I am unable to find it anywhere to remove it. Any help would be appreciated.

    no one answered this questio for me or even gave me advice....
    I got it to print from explorer but not chrome .So for some reason it decided to stop printing from chrome all on its on.Not sure how long it ill print from ie but we'll see .thanks for no advice

    Hi @PEDDLAR , and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see you are experiencing problems printing.  I would like to assist!
    I'd recommend starting with a power reset.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would also recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • HP Officejet pro 8610, wanting to print transparen​cy

    I have the HP Officejet Pro 8610 all in one printer, and want to attempt home screen printing some shirts for my 9 year old's hockey team. My friend lent me her YuDu home screen printing machine. I am needing to print the design on a transparency sheet. I have the transparency sheets here, but I am not seeing that option anywhere. I am very new to computers, and any help would be sincerely appreciated. Thank You

    Hi there,
    Yes, I believe you can - BUT, you need to make sure your transparencies are INKJET transparencies.  I see from a search online that these are widely available....at Staples, Amazon, etc.
    You should just be able to load the transparency in the tray (I would only load one at a time) and then when you go to print, you would selecting Printing Preferences (this can be different, depending on what software you are using) and then on the Paper/Quality tab, select Letter as the Paper Size (assuming they are standard letter-size transparencies) and then 'Transparency Film' as the Media Type.
    I found this YouTube video that might be helpful - but please note that this is not created or sanctioned by HP.  Just a video I came across while looking for more information.
    Hope that helps!
    Thanks!
    Tara

  • HP Officejet Pro 8610 All-in-One Printing Preference does not have Print Last Page First option

    HP Officejet Pro 8610 All-in-One printer:  Printing Preference missing Print Last Page First option.  Print lots of multipage documents.  Spending enormous amount of time resorting pages. 
    Prior to this printer?  .... grab printed stack -  staple  -  DONE! 
    Now?   Have to resort every document!
    Anyone out there have a solution?

    Reply to mkjohnson42. It doesn't matter what application I'm in. The option is NOT there. Just to confirm, I started from Word 2010, Excel 2010, a web page using Internet Explorer, Foxfire and Chrome. Plus, I did the old stand-by of going to Printers and Devices>Preferences. Under Preferences I have the choice to print on both sides of paper but NO Print Last Page First. I REALLY did check ALL of this before resorting to the Community. So, I really don't understand your question. Sorry.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8610 e-all-in-one-printer

    I really need to find an important fax confirmation and my fax log only shows the last 30 transactions.  Same with the call history.  Is there any way I can get more than the last 30 items.

    Hello @TheVillage,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you're attempting to retrieve an old fax from your HP Officejet Pro 8610 e-All-in-One Printer. Because this is a consumer level printer it does not store more than 30 faxes within the fax programming. Therefore, there is no way to retrieve that fax information. Going forward I would recommend configuring Fax to a Network Folder. This feature will allow you to receive faxes to a network folder on your computer and also print the faxes on the machine if you want to. If you ever misplace an important fax you can go into the network folder and manually print the faxes.
    For additional information regarding Fax to Network Folder please click here. Please refer to pages 12-18 within the User Guide.
    Should you require additional assistance with the Fax to Network Folder setup please let me know!

  • Hp officejet pro 8610 prints solid black on scanned pdf and word doc pictures

    -HP Officejet Pro 8610
    -problem printing scanned pdf document and word doc. photos
    -My new HP Officejet Pro 8610 printed a newly scanned pdf document as an all black picture. I then printed a saved word documtent from my iMac which included a small picture. The document print was acceptable, but the picture was solid black. There were no error messages. These were, my initial tests, to check this new printer.

    Hey there @TM-10 
    Welcome to the Community
    I read through your post about your new Officejet 8610 scanning a document to your computer and printing out all black. I have a couple ideas for you to try.
    Try the steps in this guide: Unexpected Scan Output Using HP Scan Application for HP Multifunction Printers When Using OS X v10.9...
    Press the Power button to turn on the product.
    With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
    If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
    Ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help.
    Good luck
