UNABLE TO PRINT ENVELOPES WITH HP 309a

i have an HP 309a printer and I suddenly cannot print envelopes. I have the correct size in the template but when I put the envelope (correctly) into the printer I get an error message "wrong size." This happened recently and I suspect it might be connected with the updates. I can still print labels so nothing is changed there.

Thank you. I'm sorry that it took so long to respond but my brand new G4's logic board failed and had to be replaced! Now when I tried to log in with my username and password at the CUPS local host site, it said that the login was wrong, Do I have to go someplace else to log into CUPs and get a new password and username?
I will try to find out what CUPS is while I wait for your response.
The printers: Lexmark 1100 series is on the Lexmark site: http://downloads.lexmark.com/cgi-perl/downloads.cgi?ccs=229:1:0:0:0:0 where I got the driver.
Thanks again,

Unable to print envelopes with latest HP driver for LaserJet 4

In April I downloaded the latest HP drivers for my HP LaserJet 4 to reinstall following work on my computer.
First I was just unable to print envelopes.
I redownloaded and had same results
I have uninstalled and re-installed a number of times.
I tried a "chat" with HP that went nowhere.
I was on hold for over an hour last night -- only to be told that I should email a request for assistance. Fat Chance! Try it!
I still have the manual from when it was new. It had no answer except a Customer Service phone number which has long been shut down.
The present condition is that I am unable to print anything.
Customer Service is a sick myth.

Hello, DP Photo, sounds like a scanning issue with the software. To start I want you to completely remove the software and then reinstall the programming from the packages available on the website I am going to link you to below. Use the full-feature software if available.

Unable to print colors with my photo ink hp348 on HP C3180

Hi,
I've been using HP C3180 for several years now, mostly to print pictures and scan. I have always used original HP ink. Few months ago my scanner stopped working, however it was successfully repaired in the HP service. I dont know if this is related, however since that time I'm unable to print colors with my photo ink 348...
First of all - when I put only the photo ink into the printer, I get the 'e' error message and the 'check color ink' as well as 'copy' buttons are blinking on the device.
When I put the color ink with my photo ink into the device they stop to blink and the 'e error message' dissappears- however the colors are being printed from the color ink, not from the photo one - which makes a huge difference - but Im sure you know that.
I used to print with this printer in the past with only the photo ink inside, and it was printing colorful pictures, and I did not get any error messages, with one ink inside..
Please help me fix this issue
also - I do have the option to print in color ticked - so this is not the case
it looks like the printer does not recognize the photo ink and it treats it as a black ink.....(but I can assure that it is the photo ink)...

Hi,
Seems like you have issue with the photo ink cartridge. Try to call HP support for potential replacement.
Hope it helps

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...

How can I print envelopes with Pages with my ipad2?

How may I print envelopes from my ipad2. I do have Pages .

Hi dd,
Pages '09 offered two types of documents.
Word processing documents included a text layer, and consisted of sections made up of multiple pages. If no section breaks were inserted, a fifty page document could consist of a single section. Text could be placed directly into the text layer, and Objects could be placed on the page as Floating Objects, independent of the text, and able to make text flow around themselves, or could be placed as Inline Objects, inserted into the line of text running from beginning to end of the document, and moving with the text as it was edited.
In a Page Layout document, each page was a single section. There was no text layer, so only objects could be placed on the page. Any text had to be contained in a Text box or in a Shape. Unless grouped, each object was independent of the others.
Changing your images from Floating to Inline objects may be the key to your document rearranging issues. They can be changed back to Floating after being moved to theor new locations.
Regards,
Barry

I am unable to print envelopes

I can't print # 10 envelopes. I hae never had this problem before. I am using the same software that has always worked. I have two printers HP 6988 and HP 6540. I have this problem with both.
Billie

I was using MS Word 2013. I was using the "Mailings" ribbon>"Envelopes" option to try to print envelopes. For some reason it just wouldn't work. I was unsuccessful at trying to print that way. I was finally able to print envelopes after downloading a few different templates. When you click new document, it allows you to select from some generic templates or download more templates. This is where I downloaded the templates.

How to print envelopes with correct orientation?

Hi all,
This one has been driving me mad and, despite many searches for help, just can't find a solution. As someone who knows their way around most IT related problems it is also very frustrating!
The problem: How to print a DL envelope using Pages (or Word come to think about it) so that the text is positioned on the envelope where you would expect it to be.
Printer: Epson Stylus Photo R800 - although I would guess this happens to any printer.
Tried: I have selected the DL Envelope setting in page setup (11x22cm)and selected landscape. The envelope is positioned in the printer so that the smaller side goes in first (too wide to go in the same way a page of A4 would go). If I select print then the address details are printed at 90° to the envelope. If I choose portrait then the whole thing is messed up with the text flowing down the page (which is now shown as 11x22).
Strangely, if I do this in Word but go to Print Preview first then print it is fine.
Best option for me is to use Address Book though and click on the 'Orientation' tab, select the landscape option and everything is OK. Pain to have to use this each time I an envelope though.
I have tried everything in pages including leaving the page set to 11x22 and trying to rotate the text but this is messy and have not found an easy way to rotate text in Pages as yet!
Has anyone a solution to this or am I simply missing something that is glaringly obvious?!!
Thanks all, Mike

It's really easy and it's perfectly described in the Help in the chapter entitled: *Flipping and Rotating Objects*
Create a Text Box (which is an object).
Type what you want in it.
Metrics Inspector > use the rotate button or enter directly 90 in the Angle field.
We may also do that without the Inspector.
Select the Text Box Put the cursor on the top_right handle
Press Shift + cmd while we drag the handle to rotate once of 45°
Repeat the process 45° + 45° will give a 90° rotation.

Printing envelope with Lexmark X204n

When I attempt to print a No 10 envelope from my Mac running Mavericks and Pages 5.2 to my Lexmark X204n the print job is mis-aligned.
The Lexmark's manual feed tray centers the envelop to the printer, but envelope is printing as if it should be on the left side of the print path. On the premise that a picture paints 1000 words here's one:
The red dotted line is the center line of a piece of legal paper (X204n can't print wider than 8.5")
The green dotted square is where the envelope is physically located by the manual feed tray
The blue dotted square is where the text prints, as if Pages/OS X/the print driver is expecting the letter to be on the left, not centered
The result of all this is that when I print an envelope all I get is the sender address located exactly where you see it here relative the green dotted square...
Is there a setting I need to tweak that will resolve this?

Feed the envelope in with the flap (folded) as the leading edge and the Page Set-up for Landscape (turned).

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

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)

Solved the problem.

Word was set to the feed settings for my last printer.
For some reason, I cannot discern, it also solvend the feed settings for photos.

Unable to Print pages08 with pictures to color printer

I am not able to print color pages08 documents containing photographs to my HP 4650 color Laser. I am not able to figure this out. The HP 4650 Color Laser has 128 MB's Ram and never gives me a problem with 20-25MB doc's or 50-60MB color photo files.
The pages file I can not print is a mere 7.6 MB's
Here's the steps I've taken in my investigation: resaved & remamed the file, resaved & renamed on a different drive w/200 GB's free space. Tossed out my pages08 preferences & restarted (Preferences>com.apple.iwork.Pages.plist), and repaired my colorSnyc profiles. After each/all of these I have no luck printing to my HP 4650 color Laser.
Next I created a 3.8MB pages08 test document with 4 pictures dropped into it from iPhoto6. This test file with 4 pictures is 3.7Mb's. Here's my consistent results
I can print this document
- directly from pages08 on my HP 4200 B&W Laser Printer (256MB ram)
- from Preview as a "reduced file" size pdf (version 5 or lower)
I can not print this document to my HP 4650 color Printer
- directly from pages - printer says "20 insufficient memory"
- directly from Preview - printer says "20 insufficient memory
Next, I exported from iphoto6 the same 4 pictures (in original dimensions) to Photoshop & InDesign.
I can print this test document on my HP 4650 color
- directly from Photoshop (.psd file size is 27.8MB)
- directly from Indesign (.indd file size is 2.2MB)
Next, I used the "Template Choose">"Extreme"
- OK printing template (as is) directly to HP color before & after saving
- NO printing after adding 4 different pics using iphoto6
- NO printing after adding 3 different pics using iphoto6
- NO printing after adding 2 different pics using iphoto6
- NO printing after adding 1 different pics using iphoto6
What's up?, there seems to be some hidden printing preference here that is limiting me to adding anything to a pages document, or pages is not handling the information properly.
Any more ideas I can follow? I've never experiences an insufficient memory issues in any other applications with any other documents other applications.

I've replaced the HP printer driver and had no change, my pages08 documents with picture(s) added will still not print.
I can print the pages08 templates as they exist, but when I add or replace even one picture (using iPhoto) the document will not print to my HP Color printer yet will print on my HP B&W printer.
Additionally, I can add 10-20 more pictures and the B&W printer continues to print perfectly. HP claims this is an application program and not the trouble of their printer. I have to agree since only pages document with pictures is my culprit, every program and every massive size document I want to print
There seems as if an invisible limit exists that I surpass when I add a picture. Are there any preferences or settings I've missed, a cache I should clear?
Aside from upgrading to pages09, I hope you can assist with some helpful remedies, thank you.

Unable to print PDF with landscape orientation

This print problem seems to be unique only to Mac when printing a PDF from Acrobat or Reader. All the pages come out in portrait (tall) orientation when the doc orientation is landscape and all the print setup is checked for landscape printing. I have a Xerox Phaser 7760DX printer. I can print the same doc without any issue via my pc, but cannot print landscape via my Mac, which makes me wonder if this is an Acrobat or Xerox issue. I did already update to latest Phaser 7760DX driver, but still same result. Thank you in advance for your advice.

Dont know the answer, but getting auto email notifications which I want stopped. Anyone know how? (I'm getting them from a bunch of messages)
Thanks
