This forum is focused on consumer level products. For the Designjet you may have better results posting in the HP DesignJet forum here, that is where the DesignJet experts can be found if the above did not resolve your issue.

Pantone Color 5615 Coated Won't Print On 1 of 2 Identical HP DesignJet 5500s

Hi,
We've run into an odd problem where we have 2 locations with identical setups: Creative Suite Design Premium 4, Mac Pros, and HP DesignJet 5500s. The same InDesign file prints fine in one location with a DesignJet 5500, but when we print the same ID file at the second location that has a second DesignJet 5500, the only color that doesn't print correctly is Pantone 5615 Coated. We're using same printer driver version for both printers. I haven't yet checked Firmware versions for both printers.
On the printer that won't print Pantone 5615, the printer doesn't print it correctly in any of our Creative Suite applications. We tried creating completely new files in ID, PS, IL and the color won't print. We've checked color management in Bridge and ID and they seem OK. We're not currently having any other color problems printing with any other Creative Suite files with this printer. Colors are accurate all the way around.
I read the forum and saw a lot of posting about Pantone colors, so I will try some of the suggestions related to Pantone issues. At the moment, I'm not at the location with the problem printer and can't try the suggestions until next week.
When I was at the location yesterday, we tried printing Pantone 5615 from Quark 7.5 and the color printed fine. Obviously, we don't want to use Quark on an ongoing basis for this project. It seems likely that it isn't a printer hardware problem since the Pantone color prints out fine from the Quark file. There seems to be a setting somewhere in Creative Suite that the printer at our one location doesn't like, or there is some setting on the printer that is different than the other printer. I don't think it's a network problem with the one printer versus the other printer because I would think Quark would then run into the same problem.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jason

I have the same issue with my 44" Z3100ps GP Photo, but it is when I print from Photoshop CS5. I am running OSX 10.68 and since the last Apple/HP printer driver update this last Summer my printer will not print solid black strokes or borders around an image, yet the image prints perfectly.
I tried to roll back the drivers with no success. If I make a solid black rectangler file and try print it nothing at all prints. If I scribble in Photoshop with white paint brush in the middle of that same file the printer skips the left edge of the black rectangle and then prints the middle scribbnle and right egde of the rectangle folowing the contour of the scribble on the left.
Had me baffled and still does, the printheads are in good working order. I print large canvas photos with 1.5" black borders used to cover the sides of stretched canvases. The only way I have found around this issue is to add an inch or so to the canvas size all the way around in photoshop and make it white. That seems to fool the printer into printing the file with the full black border. Still this is not a real fix, but at least it keeps my printer running.
Let me know if you find a solution to this. HP support doesn't help as they only give support to in warranty printers. Maybe Apple could help with the drivers?

Printing on HP Designjet 5500 with foomativ exits with status 9

Printing on HP Designjet 5500 over TCP/IP or Bonjour using Foomatic-RIP fails with status 9. Trying to use other drivers (HP Designjet 750C (gimp-print)) works for page sizes smaller that DIN A3 but crashs the printer for bigger sizes.
For Foomatic-RIP I get following messages in /var/log/cups/error_log:

The printer is connected on Ethernet and is in the same network segement (it is visible in AppleTalk and Bonjour. A connection with TCP/IP (lpd) is also possible.

I've built foomatic against the ghostscript install as your instructions say; compilation and installation all seems to be fine with no errors but prints still do not appear on the printer.
Is there anything else I can try?
Many Thanks and apologies for the huge length of this post...

One thing that I have noticed is that the cups error log has a lot of authentication entries, though they all seem to result in OK;

Trouble setting up a network printer

Hello,
I'm having trouble setting up the new printer. It's an HP ColorJet 2600n and it's connected to a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router. According to the limited instructions that came with the printer, I should be able to just plug it into the router and it will work. That's not the case. We have 5 computers that will be using the printer.
1GHz Imac PowerPC G4
Dual 2.3GHz PowerPC G5
Dual 3.0 Xeon Mac Pro
a 5 year old G4 laptop
2.0GHz MacBook Pro
All of the computers are up to date with OSX and all other updates. the laptops and the Imac are on the network wireless. What do I have to do to get this printer working? Networking and whatnot is not my area of experise so I don't really know where to begin or what to look for.

the 2600n is a Bonjour-only printer. When you Add in Printer Setup, you just look for it to appear in the Default Browser window and select it.
Because HP installers usually screw up permissions, you should repair permissions (Disk Utility) and restart the Mac(s) before attempting to Add the printer.
I don't have a Linksys router - it is possible it blocks mDNS (Bonjour). Maybe there's a firmware update? I would check several sources before updating the Linksys firmware - they have been know to have negative effects on Macs.
Just checking - do you only have one router or a router plus wireless base station (like Airport Extreme)?

Print driver for HP Designjet 5500 (Model Q1251A)

Trouble Setting Classpath on Windows XP

I'm having trouble setting up a classpath on Windows XP for SDK1.3.1_04.
I've tried Control Panel\Advanced\Environment Variables\System Variables. There was a Path variable present, to which I've added:
c:\jdk1.3.1_04\bin;
There wasn't a Classpath variable present though. I've tried adding it myself in System Variables as follows:
Variable name: Classpath
Variable value: set classpath=.;
But no joy. When I run "set" from the command prompt, there's no classpath present.
I'd appreciate any help.
Cheers.

Hi,
I am running on XP (unfortunately), but also win2000 and win98.
Setting up the classpath is not a problem, although if you are logged in as root, then it does not always show correctly.
Try logging back in as yourself and then checking the classpah through the set command.
Altrnatively, if this is not the problem, actualy try a reboot. which should not be necessary.

Problem with Print Window in Landscape

Hi,
I am using "Print Window" menu option of LabVIEW to print Visible area of Front Panel. When I select printer setting for Portrait printing, the print is fine and same as visible on screen. However when I change printer setting to Landscape, the lower portion of screen(on print out) is cut. Also screen is displaced on print. This abnormal behaviour also changes if I change margins but it never vanishes.
I have tried changing "Tools >> Options >> Printing" to Bitmap from LabVIEW. This corrects the problem but now the print resolution is extremely poor.
I am using screen resolution of 1024x768 on LCD monitor. The screenshots of two situations are attached. Please help me getting out of this trouble. I am using LabVIEW 8.6 initially installed in Evaluation mode and now working in Base Licensed mode. However the results are same.
Thanks & Regards
Mnuet

I am also having a similar problem printing a VI. I'd like to print out some barcodes but some of them are printing with poor resolution. It prints out a few of the control using full resolution true type, and the others are in screen resolution. I'm using LV8.5 but I think I've seen this problem in other new versions.
A printout in pdf is attached.
Thanks,
Bruce

HP DesignJet 5500 PS - green tint (partial ) issue

Plotter: HP DesignJet 5500 PS 60 in We've noticed a drop in plot quality after upgrading our computers to Win 7/Win 8. The greenish tint stands out on raster ( aerial ) plots. First we blamed it on the paper we were using ( not matching the profile loaded on the plotter) then we found the driver to be causing this. Once Win 7 & 8 were released , HP failed to provide a PS driver. When installing the printer on Win 7 /8 you'll have to use Microsoft drivers for PS printing. This plotter is used 90% for ArcGIS/PDF plots so we needed a PS driver. A few months ago, one of the print heads started leaking and we ended up replacing the entire set of ink lines ( carrying ink from tank to print head). New ink cartridges were installed to make sure no air will be left in the ink lines .... About 1 month after this , we noticed that longer plots ( 36x72 or more) would not print correctly: the first half o the colors look correct then the remaining half a green tint is present. We usually print to PDF and afterwards we send it to the plotter. Apparently there are some issues when plotting a PDF using an HPGL2 driver so we've started sending raster plots straight to the plotter. Well, today I printed another 36x72 (raster & vector) using HPGL2 driver and only the first half of the plot looked the way it should ( last half was green). Has anyone had this problem? It's been suggested ( by our maintenance company) to buy a new plotter because the specs on the 5500 say it is only compatible with OS-s up to Win XP ! Is anyone plotting to an HP 5500 from a Win 7 / 8 PC? What drivers are you using? Are your plots looking good /as expected? Do your raster plots look good? Any help /feedback is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! LR

Thank you both for taking the time to answer! Here is the status: I ran a few calibration tests: 1 color calibrations and printhead alignment. While the first color calibration looked OK, after printing a couple of demo pics from the plotter, I noticed issues with one of the colors ( missing lines). The following color calibration tests made it obvious the Light Magenta was failing. Replaced the printhead and printed again. When printing demo picture from the plotter colors looked ok. I am still testing with different drivers but at this point it looks like it is a driver issue: raster plots made using HPGL2 drivers are crisp while raster plots made using PS driver are greenish and faded- at least green tint appears to be constant now... This is just me testing , without vendor assistance.... I am plotting from ArcGIS ( not AutoCAD or Photoshop) but I seem to be the only one with such issues- hard to believe though.... I will post back again once I do more testing. Thanks again! LR

Scale won't reset to 100 percent in print window

How do I get the scale to change and remain at the selected setting in the print window?
On one of our User accounts it is stuck at 300%.
I can change it for one printing but when the print window is opened again the scale reverts to 300%.
On all other User accounts it is at 100%.
Thanks, Danty

I discovered how to solve the problem.
There is a reset option for the printing system in Systems Preferences.
I followed the steps and after re-choosing the printer I wanted as the default the scale reverted to 100%.
And -- I was able to restrict the reset to just the one User Account that was having trouble with scale.
All the other User Accounts remained unaffected with all the printing preferences and settings unchanged.

HP Designjet T520 Printing A3 cuts off at bottom

HP Designjet T520 Printing A3 cuts off at bottom When we plot something with AutoCad, and then print Portrait, it all prints fine except the bottom edge is slightly cut off. The paper we are using is A3, and the printer and Autocad settings is A3. Any ideas? WINDOWS 7 - NO ERROR MESSAGES

This very same issue is affecting me with T520.This happens with vertical A4 and A3, and till now I've not yet found a solution. To be sure to be within printer margins I've set the drawing actual margins on all the four sides to be 1.8 cm from paper sheets borders.But as alway I get the bottom border cut, while the upper border seems shifted downward and it's placed at 3,0 cm from the upper border of the paper. BUTif I set the page to be ORIZONTAL in the application, choose the orizontal page format etc the printout is perfectly aligned. To me this seems a weird issue.Experienced this issue using Archicad 16, Illustrator and Indisign. On OSX, from Snow Leopard to Mavericks. These are my printer details:Nome prodotto HP Designjet T520 24inNumero modello prodotto CQ890A Versione firmware AXP2CN1437AR

How do I set up the system to print 4x6 labels via paypal and ebay using a DYMO 4XL Thermal Label Printer (through airport)?

We bought a DYMO Label Writer 4XL. We want to print thermal labels from our Mac and PC, wireless. The good thing is that I already have the printer set in the network and added on each of our computers (Mac and Windows 8). For printing regular labels you can use the Dymo software; for printing postage labels from ebay or paypal has been impossible.
From ebay I even tried one label at the time but still did not work. I sent the the print command from the mac-print-window, changing each of the settings (such as paper size) but did not work. Each time (no matter if you want to print one label only) it advances more than one lable.

Through Paypal is a different story. It should be easy cause it seems the Zebra Driver in Paypal works with this DYMO. The issue is how to get the system to send the print command to the DYMO printer through the Zebra LP2488? please help! I know some people have succeded making all these work. What am I missing?

To whomever is reading this post I just wanted to let you know I returned the Dymo 4XL. Their customer service is horrible. Technical support does not exist at all. The issue was extremely frustrating and time consuming. I do not recommend this thermal printer at all. Good luck finding one... if you do, please share.
