The B9180 win 8 Print Prefs - no paper size option 'Custom '.

After moving to Windows 8 and load the current driver, when I go to printing preferences > paper size options drop-down list does not appear 'Custom '.  Paper suzesare courses listed with 'More' below the line.  Under XP, "Custom" was below the threshold, and 'More' was above the line.  So the way it is, there is a way now to add a custom paper size.  Am I missing soething?

OK - now it seems that the sky is not falling in - sorry for the Chicken Little routine.   I have re-ran the last download drivr of HP and I have the ability to make custom formats, and the printer freezes up when the PC goes to sleep.

Once again, thank you for addressing this.   I apologize for the apparent false alarms.

  • Printing with different paper size (hp deskjet 940c)

    I sell things on ebay; Therefore, I have to go to the post office every day and write the shipping address of the vendors on a label of post office.  I want to print this label at home.  How can I set up a usps label in my hp deskjet 940c printer.

    Hello!

    I used the USPS print on eBay Wizard to print a label for shipping on my printer.  If you are printing on plain paper, then use ribbons of packaging on the label, you are finished.  Also, they will pick up your packages at home, if you use a pre-printed label.  Stamps make nervous, however.

    The next time you sell something, there should be a link "print shipping label", you can click on.  You must measure the box and have a fairly accurate weight.  I use a scale, then round.  If you have a kitchen scale, which would work better, I think.

    According to me, who must take care of it!  I would like to know if you have any questions or encounter a problem.

  • HP Officejet 7610 Wide Format e-all-in-one does not copy settings B4 paper size option.

    I want to copy documents B4, but there only automatic, A4, 4 x 6, 5 x 7 inch, 8 x 10 inch, ledger and A3 paper size. How can I configure to B4 or another paper size? or it will automatically select the paper size according to the documents when I choose the automatic paper size?

    So far there is no attempt to HP to fix this, not even an update for any improvement. However, I have something to activate the copy B4. I notice that the printer has check the size of the paper by detecting the right edge of the paper. So, the trick is:
    1 adjusts the A3 size paper tray
    2. the B4 paper near the right side of the status bar of the places
    3 place some items including the flat surface to the left space to control the paper jam avoiding paper movement.

    Hello

    Are you referring to the eprint & all in one apps for android?

    Please make sure you have the right selected and that all other paper size and paper type settings are correct.

    Another option is to download the plugin from HP for android (you must also enable it in Settings download afte) and try to print that way. Once downloaded and activated, you should have the ability to print photos directly without going through the applications.

  • Paper size error: the custom paper size specified is not supported in the selected state bar

    I am trying to print on custom size paper (9.25 "x 3,875").

    I have OSX Lion and a 8600 Officepro more.

    I inserted the paper into the tray of my 8600 Officepro more.  I adjusted the sliding walls to match the size of the paper.

    I created a new custom in my print settings format.

    But the printer says:

    Paper size error: the custom paper size specified is not supported in the selected tray.

    What the...?  How that recalcitrant monstrosity to behave and do what I have to say?

    Here is the link to the manuals for the 8600 Pro JO.

  • How to maintain the life of your printer

    It seems more common that everyone feared how to maintain the service life of the cartridges from the printer itself.  As many variations of parameters and environment may play a role in how long your ink will actually last. A more official document can be found here about the science behind the ink, how to use it and how to make it last longer.  I will get into issues that affect the overall performance and life cycle of the printer.  I recommend to use the Startup ink supplied with the printer until he is gone because it contains chemicals of this condition and prolong the life of the print head for future use.

    I urge users to keep the printer connected directly to a wall outlet (namely for troubleshooting purposes). As with all electronics that are showing signs of failure, you can start with the power source if one really wants to follow the flow of a schema logic.  By eliminating the devices that can not to themselves, you removed a piece more equipment from the equation.  A more specific reason would be due to electromagnetic interference.  Wireless devices are vulnerable to interference with symptoms like error messages of false, lines in digital images, strange noises and frequent jams.

    Surge protectors must regulate the power distributed to each connected device.  It is possible that the printer is not the right amount of power and may fail as the printer power problems in hibernation mode with more features like duplex printing, it is impossible to recover , cable USB not detected and the light on the module displaying a yellow instead of green.  If the module and the surge protector are fighting for the control, it can cause a variety of problems that could easily be repaired by plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.

    The next major issue many users face is the print head.  It is as well as the maintenance of ink as well.  It is important to clean the print head and the best way to do that is to use it and keep the good ink in the printer.  Over time, the chemicals can not even begin to change or develop air bubbles in the cartridge.  Not to mention, ink (well pigmented) still contains fluids that can evaporate if the printer is not rooted and off properly when not in service.  Of course, some of the processes of preparation printer used when the power of the printer can use very valuable ink, but, on the other hand, it's good for the life of the printhead to leave these processes to perform according to its specifications.

    The print head is composed of tiny nozzles and parts fragile this is why it is also one of the most expensive areas of the printer.  Most printers contain many self-cleaning utilities which is recommended to regularly (I suggest at least once a month) to help keep the printhead clogging and causing stains on the sheet itself. There are a number of unconventional methods to try once the printhead has dried up in fact, but when you try these steps you may totally break the part.

    Dust and smoke particles can also cause problems with the print head, but the printer entirely.  It is often the main killer of electronics as well as hairs and animal dander, dirt from moisture and humidity, paper for printer cheap and sand.  The air is full of impurities and really can not be prevented.  Preventive measures can be taken with dehumidifiers and a uniform cleaning, but over time, there is no real way to prevent it from happening.  Dust and air blowers have been known to cause not only solders to separate but may deposit particles of dust in places that could actually damage the printer entirely.  Instead, a favorite device is known as an empty computer.  It helps to remove the fine dust in the sense just that pushing forward into the printer.

    Paper jams also cause many more problems if is not removed correctly. HP recommends pulling the paper in the direction of the gears.  When removing a paper jam, you won't hear a grinding because it leads finally to the teeth are stripped like a screw, but simply once fully detach one of these devices. It is virtually impossible to fix a paper roll or similar because all parts are connected to each other and not sold in parts stores.

    At the back of most HP printers, you can remove the rear access door or duplexer (double-sided printing device) and easily join the paper in this way.  If you see the paper jam is located next to the Board, and then remove the piece from the back and take the paper with both hands to apply a gentle tug of same, and you should have no problem in removing the paper in this way.

    Paper quality can play a large role in the life of your printer.  Cheap paper can free of paper dust up into the gears and small machinery within the printer and are very difficult to clean.  Print incorrect parameters and issues related to food can cause the paper to stay in places that are not as easy to do.  In this case, remove the paper as long as slowly and patiently as possible to avoid them ripping out pages in places like between the wheels under the printhead and also causing error messages that will not disappear.  When troubleshooting printers, patience and troubleshooting documents will also help you keep your printer running longer.

    The printer doesn't like to not be put off by anything other than the power button.  I have always recommended the printer off when not in use (at least for long periods of time) to help keep the ink dry and high printing quality.  The reason why it is not recommended is because people will be unplugging the printer, while he is doing something and the negative effects that this might have some alignment problems serious, burn the computer chips and components similar to that in computers, fake error messages and possibly bricking of the printer if done at the wrong time.  Resets hard are great troubleshooting steps, but the abuse of this feature can result in irreparable damage.

    Fanning the paper before put you in the status bar is a good practice. About 25 sheets are perfect, because an overload of the status bar may also cause paper jams.  The paper guides of setting and selecting the appropriate paper type will put the science behind these settings wisely. Don't put paper in the tray while the printer is printing, crumpled, dirty, or coexist paper types and paper clips are all things to avoid.

    Software and communication issues deserve a section all to themselves.  The measures to prevent problems of this kind could not covered in a post, let alone a chapter.  The best thing to do to increase the performance and connectivity is to set a static IP address in the URL embedded in the printer if the printer is set up on a network (steps to do this are different from the printer to the printer).  USB cables must not be more than 3 meters long and kept in good condition as well as the power supply cord.  Keep your valuables out of reach of children and buy an extended service plan for many reasons.  You can enjoy all the services offered with a service plan in the case of a defective printer or simple product questions.  Keep the firmware up-to-date and to read reviews before you buy any electronic device.

    After reading this, I'm sure you're aware, that's all common sense, but at the time where you do not consider one of these suggestions you think back and wonder "if I had taken 10 seconds longer to avoid that I wouldn't spend 2 hours more set.»  Mistakes are made when frustrations and lack of care.  These are not delicate machines that deserving the highest shelf in the bathroom, but an understanding must be met, that once it's broken this avoidable?

    Troubleshooting of many documents can be found at www.hp.com/support.  They must be followed in order to avoid the repetition of the steps, steps unnecessary and causing more frustration.

  • CP1525nw to print on A4 paper

    How can I get my HP CP1525nw to print on paper A4 (approximately 4 in. by 7 ")? It prints the small sheets of paper with a margin of about 3 inches, which is too low.

    Sorry, my mistake. The size of A4 paper specification was incorrect. Indeed, the size of the paper is atypical to 3-3/4 "x 6-7/8" for obsolete Lefax binders of my wife, but she still uses them for its revenue. I solved the problem by doing this. I called selected MSPublisher white page size, created a new Page size of 3.9 x 6.8 ", double click it to open it, inserted more than two pages, used a Format > Guides page layout to create lines of guide with a good margin of withdrawals on all four sides (leaving a wider margin at the bottom (, a very narrow margin at the top and space for the punching of holes loose-leaf on the left side), insert a spot of number of page at the bottom of the page, insert a text box on the three pages that matched the guidelines used view > two-page spread to deal with pages, connected the 3 text boxes copied the text desired and pasted into the first page of the editor. He overflowed, so I banned the ads create additional pages. I selected all the text and choose font size and point desired (monospaced) and loaded my special size paper into the printer. I had to select the printing and the paper size Options, and size (limited options) which seemed to fit better called envelope Monarch. Then I was able to print the document. It was not simple to figure all this out and took a bit of experimentation, but "nothing like the success! I have since written all this down so I can refer to it when I need to do it again.

  • Specified paper size/orientation of the plugin

    Hello

    I'm developing a plugin, feature that includes the need to print a pdf/paper size/orientation specified printer file programmatically.  The printer parameters are passed to the plugin to an external application.

    I found that using AVDocPrintParams, I CAN specify the printer, but I can't find a way to print the configuration to specify the source and the page orientation of the paper.  Experimentation has shown that it is not possible to change DC printing during the encores impression.

    Is the impression of in a plugin acrobat actually cared for and to promote?

    If so, how to set size/orientation of the paper for printing?

    Whatever the code is available in the SDK, this is what we have - however, you are invited to submit an official request to the developer technical support for assistance in this area.

    No, no plans that I know to add items to the API since there is no consistent and reliable to offer these features on all printers on all platforms (that is why they are not here in our own UI in all cases).

  • M651dn: with manual duplex printing only the paper size custom

    Hello

    I have a strange problem with several HP printers in my office (cp4525dn, 401dne, M651dn).

    Automatic duplex printing works as usual if I use plain paper A4 format.

    But when I use a custom paper size (21 x 21 cm), then the 'duplex manual' appears on the screen with the information I need to deliver the document again.

    It's strange. -That someone has an idea if this could be a bug or it's 'normal '. But automatic duplex should work too much here, I think. What you mean?

    It makes no difference if or USB-connected to the local network. I also tried different drivers, without success.

    Thank you very much

    Daniel

    According to the manual the User Guide Laserjet Pro 400 M401 , automatic duplex printing is not supported for custom paper sizes.

    It goes the same for my printer LaserJet Pro 400 MFP M475dn .

    I guess the same applies also to CP4525dn and M651dn models.

  • Slow printing when printing on 6x8inch paper. With the help of my new printer HP Deskjet 1514.

    When I print on a page size 6 x 8 inch using black ink, the time taken to print the page is 1 Minute 40 seconds. It is indeed very slow!

    When I print the same exact pages on A4, the time taken to print the page is 15 seconds. This is acceptable!

    I use Windows 7 and Office 2007.

    In addition, no error message is displayed.

    Help, please!

    What are the parameters of type of paper? The speed to 6 x 8 paper resembles results would happen if printing on photo paper.

    If you are printing on plain paper make sure plain paper is selected in the driver.
