Problem printing envelopes with HP Deskjet 6540

Printer is about 6 years old, and to print addresses on envelopes, I always had to push the blinking yellow-arrow button to restart the print job after getting a message that the paper was the wrong size.  This worked until recently, and now the printer won't print the envelope at all. 
I checked the print set-up in PrintMaster (where the print job originated), and the correct envelope size was entered in inches.  The size of the envelope that is entered in the print job queue in the HP folder, however, is given in kb's.  Is this the problem?  Any ideas of how to fix this "wrong size" issue? 

I too encounter the problem requiring pushing the yellow arrow button and having my #10 envelope jam.  I read in the HP support document to try tucking in the flap of the envelope.  After doing this I still find that I have to hit the yellow arrow, but this time the envelope actually printed.  g

  • Problems printing envelopes with HP 4480 all in one

    I purchased the HP 4480 all in one because I was told it would  do the job(we hold a reunion each year and write to over 110 people. However I have had nothing but trouble (30 envelopes wasted already) it jams-jams-jams) sometimes at the back and sometimes at the front lots of messy hands!! Have now started to write the envelopes which defeats the whole idea of speed. Can any one help or shall I bin the printer not a year old yet.

    I've had the very same issues with printing envelopes. I'm using standard #10 envelopes, so it should not be an issue. I have a new 4480 printer coming today to replace the one I have, but I am not encouraged about what will happen since I see at least another person has had the same issue.....we"ll see what happens...

  • Printing envelopes with hp deskjet 3520

    Envelope printing is misaligned. The tray guides align the envelope in the middle. But, the actual printing is aligned toward the right of the tray (the bottom of a full sized page, if inserted in lieu of an envelope)

  • Problems printing envelope from pdf file with logo & return address.

    I have the 6310 All-In-One Printer. I am experiencing major problems printing envelopes (standard size, #10) from a pdf file that is setup with a business logo, name , and address. First of all, the User Guide on page 63 directs you to load the envelope with the flaps up and on the left. This prints out return address in the lower right corner of the envelope front. I have insert the envelope opposite to the User Guide to get the information printed in the correct location, the upper left corner.
    Bigger problem - The logo, which is placed to the left of the business name and address will NOT print out. My preview printer window shows the logo, but it will not print. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.
    Suggestions???

  • C4780 problem printing envelopes

    My HP Photosmaret C4780 is having a problem printing envelopes correctly.
    What happens is that the print is shifted left about half an inch, cutting off the first part of the return address.
    To test things, I've cut plain paper to the same size as the envelope (in this case #10 4.1 x 9.5 inches) and that prints fine so I'm thinking it has something to do with envelope thickness and the printer not taking up the paper correctely.
    Is there an envelope setting I'm missing in the driver? A paper thickness setting?
    thanks,
    rod

    Thanks for the reply. I'm still having problems with these particular envelopes, but I have made some interesting discoveries.
    first, the envelopes I'm using have a peel and seal strip, which makes that part under the flap a little thicker. So I tried a regular lick 'em stick 'em envelope of the same size and it printed fine.
    I tried tucking the flap as you suggested and the problem still persisted. The real strange thing is that if I load the envelope upside down, so that it will print on the flap side, the envelope prints correctly.
    If I load the envelope so that it will print on the correct side (the non-flap side) but I revererse the envelope so that the flap is facing right rather than left, I have the same printing problems.
    So it seems that having the flap up (with these peel and seal envelopes) is where the problem comes from whether the flap is out or tucked it.
    So I guess I'll just switch to regular envelopes rather than the peel and seal kind.
    thanks again

  • Printing Adobe Reader files with a DeskJet 6540 and OS X.6

    Ever since I upgraded to Mac OS X.6, I've had problems printing .pdf files.  No matter what I teil the printer, it only prints one copy of one page of the document.  I've upgraded to Adobe Reader 9.2.0.  Is this a driver problem?  OS X.6 is supposed to take care of that.  Adobe Reader is the only software that causes this problem, and of course Adobe does not provide support.  Any ideas?

    Hi There...I'm having the same problem, although I'm using XP Pro with Service Pack 3 and an OfficeJet 6500 , e709n ...and
    it was working until this past couple of weeks.  I can't print ANY PDF, doesn't matter if it's old or new...  If I "do" a preview, all I see is a line of print across the top of the page.
    Anything else will print other than PDF's, so of course it's driving me nuts! I've even reinstalled the driver for the printer; but it didn't make any difference except for my time and frustration. I hope someone can give us an answer soon...there are important docs I need to print out.

  • Problems printing envelopes on an HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless

    I have had this printer for over a year and have lived in frustration with the primitive and really disfunctional way it tries to print envelopes.  The left or right side placement of a flap up number 10 envelope gets misaligned as it is pulled through for printing and on many occasions jams and tears.  The center position is the only position that will work, but not flawlessly as the envelope also misaligns as it is pulled through.  It often takes two or three tries before i can get an evenly or straight printed envelope.  I am puzzled as to how HP would engineer a product for small business use that has such a dysfunctional envelope printing system. I am otherwise not displeased with the product for almost all other uses.  It has lots of other very good features that work.  But not envelope printing. 
    I thought I would try to inquire as to whether a download update of software might have tried to correct this problem.  Am I alone in this?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Have you moved the paper guides to properly align the envelopes?  I do not see how envelopes can be loaded in any position but the center with the paper guides set snugly.  See page 42 (46) of the manual here.  Also, if you have the optional second paper tray note that envelopes are not supported in it, you need to use the top tray.

  • Wireless Printing issues with HP Deskjet 2540

    Hello everyone,
    I am experiencing an issue with an HP Deskjet 2540 printer - it prints if I have connected it to a USB cable; however, it refuses to print if I try to print wirelessly. 
    I had initially solved this problem when I went to System Preferences > Printers and Scanners and noticed two Deskjet 2540 series icons in a window titled 'Printers'. I ended up removing one of these icons and set the other one as a default, which seemed to temporarily solve my problem. Now, I see two icons back in this 'Printers' menu and my printer refuses to print through my wireless connection.
    My printer is connected to my internet connection so I don't think there is an issue here - I also have recently installed the software for this printer to make sure there was not some sort of driver issue; however, this does not seem to give me the permanent solution I am looking for.
    Any Advice? My operating system is OS X Version 10.9.5

    Hey @love2dance,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!  I understand you're having difficulty printing wirelessly with your HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-One Printer.  I would like to assist you with this and may have some steps that will ensure you can print wirelessly from your Mac.  
    I recommend you start from scratch and re-do your printer install and wireless setup for best results. 
    Firstly, make doubly sure your printer is connected to your wireless network by doing the following:
    Step one: Prepare for installationTo gather your network name (SSID) and password (WEP key or WPA passphrase), you can ask the person who originally set up your network, see the documentation that came with the router, or contact the manufacturer. HP cannot set up or change the network SSID or the password.
    Make sure that you have the following requirements before you begin:
    Network name: The network name is the SSID (Service Set Identifier).
    WEP key or WPA security passphrase
    A computer that is connected to the wireless network.
    Internet access. HP recommends broadband Internet access such as cable or DSL.
    Your wireless-capable HP product. Place it close to the computer during the installation procedure.
    A USB cable (used only during installation).
    Administrator privileges or password
    Make sure the product, access point, and computer are all on, and that the computer is connecting to the wireless network.
    Connect the USB Cable to the rear port of the HP product and to any USB port on the computer.
    Exit all applications running on your computer.
    Source
    Secondly, prepare your Mac by removing any existing printers added:
    Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
    Choose Print & Scan from the View menu.
    Click the "-" (Remove printer) button.
    Next, click here to download and install your printer's software.  As you work your way through the setup, follow the prompts to convert your usb install to wireless.  With this setup completed successfully your wireless printing capability should be restored. 
    One way to preserve this wireless connection is to make sure your wireless mode/router is left on continually.  If at anytime your network connection is lost, reconnecting your printer will mean that it's being assigned a new IP address.  The significance here is that your Mac will be looking to connect with the printer at an IP address that is no longer applicable. 
    Please let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post.  Best of luck!

  • Network Printing issues with HP DeskJet 3054A

    Basically I'm not able to get past the wireless setup - I get the unable to find  printer error.  I've tried to set it up with and without the USB cable. I was able to print using the USB cable, but not wirelessly.  I used the WPS option to connect my printer to my network, both by pushing the button, and by entering the PIN.  
    Ok here goes for system config...I have a ActiontecM1000 DSL modem that is connected to a netgear WNDR3400 router. From this router, I have a desktop running Windows XP connected directly.  I have several other devices connected wirelessly to the router, including a macbook pro running the most recent version of OS which was not able to connect to the printer wirelessly (just bought it last month with the Deskjet pronter).  I am currently using WPA2-PSK [AES] security without MAC filtering.
    On my router screen, when I click on "Attached Devices", I am able to see the printer, and it is assigned an IP address.  Most of the documentation says to type this IP address into your web browser, but whenever I do this, I am unable to access the printer (so for whatever reason, I'm unable to communicate to this device.  I currently have my desktop, macbook, 2 work laptops, an IPad, and 2 Iphones that are able to connect thru this router, so I don't think my router is malfunctioning, although it could be some weird printer setting that needs to be done...   
    Some other info which people may find useful - the print out of the HP Network config page shows that there is connection, the correct SSID, signal quality 5, the same IP address as shown on my router config page, as well as the correct authentication type - actually it says WPA-PSK vs WPA2-PSK.  It also says port 9100 is enabled, and bonjour is also enabled. 
    The print out of the wireless network test results shows that the wireless on/working is pass, signal quality is excellent, and no other networks detected mating your network name.  I will say that after 4 hours of trying this, I had a view choice words when I saw at the top of this sheet "No problems found.  Congratulations on the successful setup of your wireless printer."  
    I'm running AVG, and have attempted to disable this in the off chance that this is a firewall issue of some kind.
    I've also powered off the router, the printer, and the computer to try and resync everything.
    I have downloaded the "Troubleshoot HP installation failure - network" application and have attempted all 7 solutions, and have not been able to resolve the problem.
    Any assistance would be great!

    Currently my actiontec M1000 does not have the wireless module (in the qwest modem configuration, it says "no wireless module detected" - when I first got the modem I called qwest to confirm the dsl modem has no wireless capability,  which is when I ended up getting the Netgear router.
    Is there a point where I can get warranty service for the printer?  I'm beginning to wonder if there's just something wrong with the printer itself...

  • Problem on photocopier with HP Deskjet F4185

    I have an HP Deskjet F4185 with an single cartridge mode (Black), when I try to copy my printed document with black by pressing the button on the printer that indicate black, my printer does nothing.
    I even tried using the HP solution Center, but when I click the Back Copy button on the GUI, the application always says the printer is busy even though I havent printed anything yet. This problem is already getting on my nerves, I already update the drivers to the latest version to my Operating system (Windows 7 64bit), even tried uninstalling and installing it again but the problem still presist.
    Can anyone help me?

    Can you scan with the printer?

  • J4580 problem printing envelopes

    My J4580 printed #10 envelopes with no problems until recently.  It now will start printing before it has the envelope in place (before printing I push the envelope as far as it allows) resulting in only printing half of the return address or the envelope gets stuck causing a paper jam.  I've cleaned the rollers but have the same problem.  I have no trouble printing on paper.

    The envelope now prints in portait mode ... as I would have expected, but different than the original experience I had.
    The problem is that the envelope does not fit into the printer in that mode, and it prints as if the media were 8.5inx11in which places the text on the bottom of the page.
    Since the envelope is only 8.75inx5.5in, the text misses the envelope entirely
    This likely sounds very confusing. Please ask more questions if I'm not clear.

  • Problems printing envelopes from Address Book since Lion upgrade

    I've been printing envelopes to my HP PhotoSmart 2575 All-In-One printer from Address Book without any problems for years. I upgraded to Lion and now the first envelope is blank. Second one is okay but after that their print position slips little by little up the page until they become usless. I see on the forum that there are other people with different printers but the same problem. Has anyone found a solution to this?

    Hi David and Everyone Who it Might Help
    I was having this problem too!  *Many* thanks to you! 
    I was having it with both a new brother and Epson printer. 
    I followed your advice and created a custom envelope and just to clarify for any future reader.  The "rotate 90 degrees" is changed under the "orientation" tab by simply selecting the layout with the picture sideways inside of straight up and down.
    Second, the size change you mentioned is for the "Height," naturally, not the Width.
    Many thanks!!!  Great find.

    Isn't there a way for you to do this via a Package/Procedure versus having multiple queries?
    Per the BI Publisher guide,
    Following are recommended guidelines for building data models:
    Reduce the number of data sets or queries in your data model as much as possible. In general, the fewer data sets and queries you have, the faster your data model will run. While multiquery data models are often easier to understand, single-query data models tend to execute more quickly. It is important to understand that in parent-child queries, for every parent, the child query is executed.
    You should only use multiquery data models in the following scenarios:
    To perform functions that the query type, such as a SQL query, does not support directly.
    To support complex views (for example, distributed queries or GROUP BY queries).
    To simulate a view when you do not have or want to use a view.
    Thanks,

  • Hp laserjet 3800n problem printing envelopes

    My laserjet which I've had for years always has a hard time printing envelopes, but usually if I try several times they will print, but today it isn't working.  What it does is hum for about 30-60 seconds without feeding envelopes, then stops and says fuser error (50.2?).  I did update the firmware about 1 year ago, hoping it would help this problem.  I am printing envelopes from Microsoft works on a XP machine. Thanks

    Hey tswelsh,
    Are you using the envelope template built into Microsoft Word to print the #10 envelopes?  If so, then I would make sure all settings are set correctly to print the envelopes.
    Check to make sure the Feed option is set to the correct feed path for the Photosmart 7525.  It is possible that the Word software is expecting the envelope to come through the unit in a different location and is 'printing' your information in empty space.
    Also, make sure the print driver settings are correct.  When selecting to print make sure to set the Printer Properties to the correct paper type.  Select the Paper/Quality tab to make sure that the option is set for #10 envelopes in the driver. The printer functions best when the software and driver have matching settings.
    Let me know if this helps,
    Jason

  • Problem printing patterns with Adobe Reader 9

    Hello all
    We have a mix environment of Windows 7/Vista with Adobe Reader 9.2 and Windows XP/2k with Adobe Reader 8.1.7. Documents including charts with patterns created with the option Save as PDF from Word 2007(SP2) look and print fine with Adobe Reader 8, but the same documents look and print the patterns a lot more compressed with Adobe Reader 9. All computers print to the same printers with the same print drivers (a windows print server). Attached is a sample PDF file. I've installed Adobe Reader 9.2 also on Win2k and WinXP computers with the same results, so the problem doesn't come from the OS.
    Any idea on what's wrong with Adobe Reader 9? Is it a configuration problem or defaults changed in Adobe Reader 9?
    Thanks in advance.

    You need to use Adobe Acrobat; Adobe Reader does not support editing.
