HP 8725: Unlocking shortcuts printing on a printer 8725

Why a simple single back issue is so problematic, is beyond me.  Sorry for the frustration.

All my shortcuts printing are locked.  I can't change anything.  How to unlock them?

Hello

Thank you for using the HP Forums.

Shortcuts are permanent.

However, you can change all the settings for example, regular project photography mode and "save under" a new shortcut to print.

Hope that helps!

  • HP Officejet 4630: Unlocking the printing shortcuts

    When I go into the printer shortcuts (devices and printers > click with the right button on printer > printing preferences > printing shortcuts) they are locked. There is a LOCK on each option, it is impossible to customize printing. I just bought this printer, make me the administrator. This printer uses a ridiculous amount of ink and I should be able to use shortcut printing options.

    I have seen that many other people have the same problem.  Why sell HP printers that cannot easily be used? It's my first HP printer, and I'm starting to regret buying this.  NEVER had this problem with Canon.

    Note: HP Print and Scan Doctor is no help and advice of 'cloning' do not work either (Windows has NOT created a new shortcut called 'User specified Print Settings' at the bottom of the list).

    Hi, with the exception of "Factory Defaults" all locked shortcuts can be saved under a new name when you change at least one of the 5 options such as the Paper Type.

  • Unlock the printing of the PDF secure in the free version of the reader?

    Hello!

    At work, we have some PDF files which the Sales Department should be not able to print. For this reason, they want to secure me PDF files so that they cannot be printed without the password. In order to be able to do this, the paid version of reader was bought to my user.

    However, when I test it, I can't find anywhere to unlock the impression in the free version, which is what all the marketing department uses. Purchase licenses for the entire Department is not an option, because it would be ridiculously expensive.

    Thanks for your help!

  • Shortcuts to printer not saving preferences do not

    Hi all

    I am able to create new print shortcuts in preferences, but the settings are not saving. If I watch settings which is the color then look at other one who is B & W the other settings appear in options. How can I get the shortcut settings to save correctly. I clicked on apply then OK after you have created. I have even come out right and come back and see that the shortcut has changed.  Color LaserJet MFP 400 with 3 installed tray and firmware updated. Windows XP using LAN to print.

    Thank you

    Solved with a work around.

    Instead create different shortcuts printer the printer, I created a second installation of the printer, renamed it (letterhead) and now what impression the choice is made at the level of the printer not on the level of preferences. I've also renamed the instal Moose (EverydayPrinting) printer and set the prferences in that one needed. I know a little awkward, but this just HP does not take parameters. The user is satisfied with the result.

  • Change default printing shortcuts

    I want to change the default print shortcut.  He is currently assigned to "general printing every day."  I would like to change it to "Fast/Economical hologram."  When I go into preferences, tab shortcuts Printing and click "Fast/economical printing" there is no option for this do the default shortcut.  When I click on 'General Impression-' every day, change the features to resemble fast printing & economical, it will allow not to store the news under a new name, but not by default.

    I encountered the same problem with my HP F4280 All in one and figured out what the problem was.  I am using Windows 7 then the following steps work for this OS well its probably similar for Vista users.

    Click the Pearl icon (Start), and then click devices and printers

    Double-click your printer icon to open the HP Center

    Under Printer Actions, click on customize it your printer link

    Click the Advanced tab

    Click on the button to default print (lower-left)

    If you haven't already done so, create a custom shortcut in changing one of the default settings of HP and then choose Save as

    Choose your shortcut in the list, and then press the button apply

    Press OK and you get back to the center of HP

    Close the center of HP (X in the upper right corner)

    However, this is where I ran into problems... If the program you are printing from is currently open (Photoshop in my case) the default print settings will NOT change until you restart the program. Restart your program (Web browser, Photoshop, paint etc) and now your default print settings should be updated to use your custom default shortcut.

    I hope this will help some of you who have had problems.

    The printer is new and is connected via the USB port on the computer that is running a new copy of Windows 10 x 64 ('fees': I've upgraded to Windows 10 and reset the computer). The driver is from the OJ4630_Basicx64_198.exe file (so just basic pilot). I can scan and I can print a diagnostic page, but I can't print anything else. All shortcuts printing have symbols locked beside them (please see attachment).

  • Shortcuts locked on printer

    I have a HP Envy 5530 all - in - one. Having followed that there a few months. I really like it, but for some reason any, when I go to print all shortcuts are locked and the only one I have to use is "User specified Print Settings". Even the general everyday printing shortcut is locked. Is this normal. Why all the others have if I can't use them. Does anyone know how to solve this problem. Oh, also when I print I have to go in the specified by the user and turn off the border thing or my impression is on the top of the page or at the top right.

    Hello! Welcome to the @Pepper13 forums.

    I read on how some shortcut print options are not available for you. I'm here to offer my suggestions.

    First of all, please let me know if all programs do not show these options.

    Make sure you use an administrator account (if you are using Windows).

    Let me know the operating system you are running.

    Try to uninstall the printer software and reinstall the printer.

    Please let me know the results and the information above.

    Thank you

  • C6280: Select Auto duplex printing

    Hello:
    I use an HP running Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium laptop.
    I had already completely uninstalled my HP Photosmart C6280 all-in-one printer.
    Today, I reinstalled it using the CD-ROM supplied with the printer.
    When I went to print a MS Word document, I have not received the normal game
    Print settings/options to choose.
    I could not choose automatic double sided printing: it was not in the drop-down list.

    When I chose to print from the file menu of Word, a print dialog box open: this is the title was the HP Photosmart series 6200 Document properties. From within this framework, I chose:
    Properties > tab shortcuts printing > general impression every day.
    in the lower right of this Panel, is a menu drop down titled "print on both sides.
    It offers the following options to select:
    Off, manual, booklet from left edge, right edge booklet.
    The "Automatic" option was missing from this list: previously it was manual above.
    I don't remember if the border left/right options were there before.
    Directly below this menu drop down is only for the selection of Orientation: Portrait or landscape.
    So now I'm unable to print 2-sided automatic.
    If I click on Duplex instead of General Everyday, I have briefly see the automatic word in the menu, but is replaced by manual. In addition, for this mode Duplex, Orientation drop me u is missing/hidden. I don't know if this is supposed to be that way.

    The problem: why I have more option to automatic 2-sided printing?

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    HOWEVER, you CAN duplex from a computer hooked up wireless?

    ----------

    The link to the Vista/Win 7Duplex printing troubleshooting guide does not work.

    I have the same problem with my C7280 and Win 7. Originally, this computer was connected wireless, who apparently does not have an automatic duplex setting. (I had to reload the driver several times with the help of HP to properly operate wireless because the HP Solution Center was not available...) Anyway, I have now linked the computer to the C7280 by wire... and duplexing "automatic" is not available. " Where can I find the option "enable double-sided printing? Or do I have to uninstall and reinstall the driver again? Thanx

    The duplexer should be available if wired or wireless.  The link for Vista/Win 7 Duplex Printing Troubleshooting Guide is here.  Sorry for the fault of previous hits, I've also updated the previous link.

    For Windows 7, click Start, devices and printers, click with the right button on the settings of device Photosmart c7200 series printer properties and the duplex unit installed, apply the value.

    boarderless photo printing, general daily, etc.  How remove locks or open?  I tried calling the support, but got a bad phone connection, and a person who was difficult to understand.  She suggested that I call back at another time, after trying to uninstall and reinstall the software, which I did without result.

    Hello

    Are you talking about the following locks?

    They are by default, you can simply select one of them (no need to unlock) to print. You can also create your own if you wish.

    Kind regards.
