Trouble Printing Multiple Pages in Quick Succession - LaserJet P4015x - Networked Printer

Hi,
We are currently experiencing problems printing multiple pages in quick succession. We use a bespoke Microsoft Access Database to run our Sales Order Processing. As part of this software we print 3 part invoices, credit notes etc on different coloured paper. We do this by printing to different printer trays. Originally we tried automating the printer tray configuration through VBA code using one report and changing the print tray as part of the print process but were having problems with Microsoft Access freezing. As result we have resorted to printing 3 different reports straight after each other (using VBA code) but with each report specified to print from a different tray.
We are current using tray 2 (500 sheet feeder - standard A4 paper), tray 3 (500 sheet feeder - standard A4 paper) & tray 4 (500 sheet feeder - standard A4 paper).
The current setup does print a copy from each tray and does give us what we want apart from the whole print process being very slow.
The first page comes out from tray 2 at the normal speed you would expect from a network printer but then we start to have issues.
Sometimes the second page from tray 3 will come out quickly but the third page (from tray 4) will be very slow or both pages 2 & 3 will be slow to print. There seems to be no pattern as to why these are slow. To make matters even worse sometimes it will print correctly and all three pages come out in very quick succession (although rarely).
We are using modern PC's (running Windows XP SP 3 with 2GB RAM & 160GB HDD) and the print command is definately being sent to the printer in quick succession - as far as I can tell. I have tried to setting the printers to print through  the server and setting them up to print directly to the printer using the built in print server in P4015x.
The printers are networked to a Windows SBS 2008 server with quad core processors and 16GB RAM.  The server is only used as a file and print server and is not under heavy load.
I will also point out that I have tried printing to another HP printer (4250dtn) and it has exactly the same problems.
I have removed advanced printing features from the printer driver setup on the client PC's but it does not seem to make any difference. I have also tried printing directly to the printer rather than spooling.
I have updated the drivers to the latest one on the HP website and still no change.
I would appreciate any ideas any one might have to sort the problem out.

Did you ever solve this?
I'm doing the exact same thing: three print outs in succession to a specific tray on a network shared printer and occasionally getting a MS Access printing error 2212 counldn't print you object.  Printer setup is saved with the reports one for each printer tray.
I'm printing from bespoke MS Access 2002 application using runtime to HP LJ 4100 on Citrix terminal server session.
Any info you have would be appreciated.

  • Trouble printing multiple pages, not multiple images per page

    I have just upgraded to PS Elements 10 and am having a challenging time printing multiple pages of the same document (image).  These are labels that will be run, so we do 300 of the same image at a time, one per page (label).  From the open Elements .psd file I choose print and set the printer settings, and then choose the amount of labels to print.  No matter what number I put in for the Print X copies of each page, it still only prints one.  When I convert it over to the organizer it seems to work with printing multiple copies.  Having to move each file over especially if we are just wanting a quick test run is very time consuming and troublesome.  It seems like there should be a simple fix that I am missing in the Elements program.

  • Trouble printing multiple pages with HP ENVY 5531

    I am printing wirelessly from a Windows 8 machine.  If I only print one page it works fine every time.  If I try to print multiple pages then on the 2nd or 3rd page it always cuts off the bottom portion of the page.
    There was another post that had a similar problem but the problem went away when they connected up the USB cable from the computer to the printer.  I need to print over wireless so that isn't a good solution for me.

  • How do I print multiple pages (2) to one A4 page?

    Hi folks,
    How do I print multiple pages (2) to one A4 page (as you can in a PDF) ?
    There is no option when I try to print & I have checked advanced etc. I have tried opening as a PDF. I have tried printing to PDF but it won't allow.
    Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly welcomed - I don't fancy printing the whole 188 pages, but I need them all!
    Thanks,

    Hi Chris,
    Try this, and if you have any trouble get back and we'll trouble shoot, but I think it will work for you.
    Open System Preferences.
    Select Print & Scan
    Click on your printer under Printers in the left pane
    Click "Open Print Queue", on the right
    The print queue app will appear on your Dock
    Open a Finder window containing your files to be printed and select them all
    Drag the files from Finder to Print Queue icon in Dock
    Regards,
    Jerry

  • Simple Statement w/ subreport prints multiple pages

    Hello all,
    I have a CR 2008 migrated from older version (CRW 32 6,0,1,135  with VB6 driving the report) that is printing multiple pages when it should be only printing 1 page.
    This report is a Statement that shows customer info and account balances. It has a subreport that typically prints 1 line of report data on each Statement. However, some customers can have 2 or 3 records printed in the subreport. And in the past this all worked fine - it printed 1 page for the Statement even if there were more than 1 record in the subreport.
    After converting to CR 2008 (I did successfully implement SP1 then SP2 after a lot of confusion, then joined this forum - thanks much!) the Statement now prints multiple (identical) pages based on how many records are in the subreport data. I've played with it by testing with customers who had 3 records in the subreport and it generates 3 pages. I've tried modifying the Section control values like "Keep together" and others with no success. We are using VB.Net 2008 now to drive the report.
    If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I really would appreciate your input. I'm not an expert with CR by any means but I have developed about 40 or so reports over the years and have a decent working knowledge.
    Thanks for anything you may be able to offer.
    Chris

    That's a big jump from CR 6 to 2008.
    It may be easier to just rebuild your report from the beginning rather than trying to fix this one.
    Typically most update a few versions at a time and the import portion of the code can handle the updating relatively the same version. Cr 2008 is now UNICODE and completely different file format.
    Thank you
    Don

  • Print multiple pages on one page in Preview?

    I tried to print a PDF in OSX Lion and I was unable to find the option to print multiple pages on one Page. Instead there is an option to print multiple copies of pages on one page. Does anybody know where I can find the old option from (as in Snow Leopard, Leopard, Tiger..)? (See screenshot.)
    Thanks!

    Look under the "Vorschau" menu for the Layout menu, and then choose "Seiten pro Blatt."

  • Any way to get more than 100% zoom on print jobs when printing multiple pages?

    I know how to increase the size of a print job, when I am printing one page at a time. But when I go to print 2 pages at once (the multiple page print function), there are always large margins around the page. I'm ok with saving paper and printing up two pages, but it seems silly to see small print and wide blank margins. Is there any way to increase the print zoom, when printing multiple pages per sheet of paper?

    I once overshot the limit by marking too many photos to fit within 99 pages, but I could never figure out how to fool the application and had to give up trying to add those 14 extra photos.
    I asked a friend (who practically lives in Terminal) if he had any way of modifying that limit, but he reminded me that if their printing services are set up to bind books and bill for only 99 pages, fooling the application might be useless if the service only prints me a 99 page book and discards the additional pages.
    I can understand that you wouldn't want to let people print 1000 page books, but I sent feedback anyway to allow me to increase the limit. Anyone know of any service that lets you print beyond iPhoto's limits?

  • Used to be able to print multiple page pdf files on my HP 7310 all in one and then it stopped and would only print the curent page. This is tedious for long PDF docs. I am on 10.6.8 .

    Used to be ablert to print multiple page pdf files on my HP 7310 all in one printer and now I can only print the current page and therefore it takes forever printing them one by one. I am in version 10.6.8. Tried printing as image using the advanced click and that did not work either.  I have Adobe 9.0 reader installed.

    I tried this earlier, and I tried it again today.  Both times it said "Software Missing!"  and "HP Software required to connect to your printer over the network could not be found on this computer."  But when I tried to install the software (AIO_CDB_Net_Full_Win_WW_130_141.exe, which I downloaded from HP's web site), it wouldn't install, as described above.  In the diagnostic utility, I clicked "skip", and it said "Connection Verified!", and "The printer is connected to the network and the services related to the network connections have been verified and reset to a normal operating state.  Everything appears to work fine at this point.  Please doa test print to verify that the issue is resolved or click Skip to move to the next step."  I clickedthe "Test Print" button, and immediately it popped up a box that said "Test Print Failed."
    I tried again to install the HP software, and it installed, detected the printer, and asked me to select it.  I selected the printer, clicked "next", and it did its network diagnostics.  Then it said "Problem(s) found with your network" and "Problem(s) may exist with the network functions of your printer . . ."  I continued the installation without connecting to the printer.  Then I ran your network printer diagnostic tool again, and got the same result - "HP Software required to connect to youir printer over the network could not be found on this computer."

  • I can't print Multiple pages in FF6 – clipping off content after page 1. I have thrown out firefox completely off my imac and re-installed... still does not print correctly. How do I fix this?

    After upgrading last week, i can no longer print multiple page print outs off of any website, without the secondary pages clipping off content. Page 1 prints fine... the remaining pages do not.
    pages print fine in both safari and chrome...

    If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
    If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
    As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
    If there are specific tasks you need help with:
    http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/index.php?mforum=iworktipsntrick
    Is a good resource.

    > a PDF/X-1a setting has fixed the problem
    I still have the problem with more simple kinds of PDF: 150 dpi, no PDFX. I can not print multiple pages.
    Furthermore I can not use the option
    "print screen view" (in german language), both affects the
    Reader 8 AND the Acrobat 8: it always only prints the first page of the document without any scaling.
    Finally I can not use the printer
    "Adobe PDF": it results in an endless spool action to that printer.
    Yesterday Acrobat 8 was deinstalled with the
    deinstaller. The
    new installation failed first because of a missing CD. The "AdobeExtendScriptToolkit2.0.1All.dmg" could fix the installation problem.
    After successfull re-installation neither before nor after the update to Acrobat 8.1.0 the printing errors mentioned above were solved.
    What can we try next?
