LaserJet Pro 400 M451nw: Laserjet Pro 400 prints documents upside down

My Laserjet Pro 400 prints documents upside down.  This only happens when you print in black and white, and from certain applications.  Files PDF and Word documents print very well, as plain txt files and files from my accounting software, but files CorelDraw and images in Photoshop CS5 reverse print.

If I saved a CorelDraw file in PDF format, it will print correctly, but not the native file of COR.

From Photoshop, it makes no difference what file format I print - jpeg, tif or even a file not saved - all printed reversed if I select black and white.

Colour printing is fine for all applications.

Like most of my needs to print b & w, I the printer defined as it as default and just change color when the need arises, but it means I lose lots of toner if I don't remember to print in color in CorelDraw or Photoshop.  Printing an image to grayscale in color also gives the evil eye.

Any help appreciated.

Hello

Try to use a PCL5 driver, which is likely to solve such a.

First, open the control panel > devices and printers, right click on the printer and select printer properties.

Open the Ports tab, and take note of the path selected for the printer, and then close this dialog box.

Download and install the driver HP UPD PCL5, follow the installation by selecting the traditional model.

Follow the wizard of printwr indicated by selecting the same port as used by the original and complete its installation driver.

The UPD driver can be downloaded from the following link:

http://h20566.www2.HP.com/hpsc/SWD/public/detail?sp4ts.Oid=4157320&swItemId=ds_99378_6&swEnvOid=4158

Once you have finished, try to print using the HP Universal printing PCL 5 driver and check for the difference.

Please let me know if this can help,

    Hi @PEDDLAR and welcome to the Forums of HP!

    I see that you are experiencing printing problems.  I would like to help!

    I would recommend starting with a power reset.  Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

    I recommend also to download and run the HP print and Scan doctor.

    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  • LaserJet 1018 - cannot print documents

    The printer has been connected to my router so it can be shared. He worked like that for a few months, but a few weeks ago, my wife said that she could not print word or pdf from his laptop (Win 7 32). She was able to print a test page so that she could use my computer to print (Win 7 64).

    Now I'm unable to print most of the things on my computer. I removed the router and hooked directly to my computer with no result.

    Now I'm able to print: a test page, a text document.

    I'm unable to print: Word document (2007), Excel file, pdf or Firefox.

    There is no special formatting in Word. I open Word and just type in random letters. I then click on print, printing box, I click 'ok' and the printer immediately spits out a blank page. If I click on the 'Properties' button I get an error message "Word cannot bring up the Properties dialog box because the printer returned an error."

    When I go to print in Excel I get an error immediately "current printer is unavailable. Select another printer. "If I select print preview mode, I get the same error. Once again no particular presentation, just text randomly.

    I tried a few pdf files. I click on print, printing box comes up but when I click on the button to print, nothing happens.

    I am trying to print from FF gives me an error "an unknown error has occurred while printing."

    I have re-downloaded the drivers of HP and reinstalled without change.

    I am at a loss at this time.

    You know that your connection is good because your device manager is refreshing.  This leaves us with a hardware problem on the printer.  It seems that your money would be better spent on a newer model, and then buying spare parts or sending it in for repairs.

    Something that comes out is the fact that you are not able to view the properties of the printer from Word.  This suggests corruption driver, you should be able to see even when the printer is offline.  I wonder if this is the real to display properties from your list of devices and printers too.  If Yes, then it may be a simple driver corruption problem that can always be fixed.

    Before you remove your printer, try to download a few different flavors of the UPD and test them.  You can choose to PCL5, PCL6 and PS, each has its own advantages and peculiarities.  Since you're on Win7x64 you will want to make sure you delete the driver and software and reinstalling.  Which will make sure you are reinstalling a table shave and remove any potential change to the next driver.

    Uninstall printer and remove driver (Win7 x 64):

    1. go in the beginning > Type devices and printers in the search > select from the results

    2. highlight your printer object and right click

    3. choose Remove the instrument

    4 put highlight something else in the list

    5. click on the button of properties of the print in the toolbar Server

    6. Select the tab drivers

    7 highlight the appropriate printer driver

    8. click on remove

    9. check the option remove driver and Driver Package when prompted

    10. click on OK

    • You can load up to 50 sheets of labels into the tray at 1 time. Do not exceed 50 sheets
    • Avoid mixing media into the tray with paper. Avoid labels on top of plain white paper in your loading tray
    • Avoid using labels that are separated from the backing sheet, wrinkled or damaged in any way
    • Do not use labels that have exposed the carrier sheet
    • Do power not more than once a sheet of labels into the printer
    • Avoid printing on both sides of the labels
    • Avoid printing on sheets which the labels have been removed
    • Make sure that you use the specific Laser as adhesive labels can damage internal components in your machine.

  • Paper jam false error HP LaserJet Pro P1102w printer

    Hi my HP LaserJet Pro P1102w printer will not print envelopes and labels. I can print documents in the usual way. I can print on the plateau of encelope, but I can't use Word 2003 to print an address.  When I check "what is the impression he's a doc of the envelope and he says Envoy."  The 'Attention' on the printer flashes.  Troubleshooting says it's a problem with the printer.  I ran the auditor of problem of HP and the message I get, is that the problrm is a paper jam. There is no paper jam!

    I would be grateful for any help

    Thank you

    Ron Barker

    Hi @RonBarker ,

    I see that you have problems printing of envelopes. I will definitely do my best to help you.

    The Word software, to change the auto power.

    When the light is flashing on the printer, if you open and close the cover, the printer should resume printing, it acts like a resume button. Given that this model does not have the button. But I've provided the steps to make the changes via the Word software.

    In Word, click on tools, select letters and direct mail/envelopes and labels, box of the envelope will be opened in the envelope tab, enter your address, click Options, click the Printing Options tab, you will need to change the autopower supply, it is probably set to manual. Check the food method to ensure that it is correctly set.

    If you need help, let me know.

    Have a great day!
    Thank you.

  • Mac Book Pro is printing 50 copies

    Hello

    My MacBook Pro is printing 50 copies for each print on kyocera 5551ci. Is there a solution for this problem?

    Your post is rather incomplete, we have no idea of how the device is connected, the version of Mac OS X installed, what you have tried troubleshooting, etc... To be more specific, right now all I can suggest is to reset the printing system and then reconnect the printer and then repeat the test.

  • Problem with the HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer: clean the print heads each time it is turned on

    Hello everyone,

    the printer HP all-in-one Officejet Pro 8500 (A909a - product n. CB022A) clean the print heads whenever I turn it on. This problem affects any HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer, it is not a problem only of this one I bought. It is a boring bug and annoying because each power clean print heads on involves two bad disadvantages:

    1. waste of ink (each heads cleaning process consumes little ink);
    2. too much time (2-3 minutes) to prepare the printer after plugging.

    I upgraded my printer with the latest firmware available on the HP site (firmware ver. DLM1FN1006BR), but the bug is still present.

    At this point, I ask:

    1. There is a way (or procedure) to disable automatic cleaning this useless to all power on?
    2. Can we communicate with the HP engineers or tell me how to contact directly one of them to indicate the bug and request a new firmware updated?

    Please don't tell me to leave the printer on all the time or that the printheads to each cleaning power is normal behavior! Where then are power and ink savings claimed for this printer model?

    I hope that a solution to this problem. Thanks in advance to everyone will help me!

    Maintenance when the printer is turned on is normal and is required to keep the printheads in good health (not blocked). See here for more information.

    With respect to energy savings, the printer automatically goes to low power mode when the don't feel not for awhile.  It is not necessary turn the unit on to save energy.
