Unable to select/change a printing quality on Deskjet 5740

Recently, I lost my ability to print on a DJ 5740 after completing a boot on a Mac G5 iMac, running Mac OS X 10.4.11.  Thinking that somehow secure boot affected/deleted the driver of 5740 DJ, I rebooted the 5740 Driver from the HP website.  After the Driver Install finished, I noticed that the PaperType/quality was not registered iunder the'Copies & Pages drop-down list to select the print quality (e.g. Normal, quick project, etc.).  After reading the Readme Doc DJ 5740, it describes how to get the print quality on the print screen.  The file Readme Doc suggested to disable all functions of picture on the layout, but I have been unable to locate any reference to photographic reports.  Could you please provide a procedure step by step as t what should I look for to turn off the features?

Hi ther Blazer5,.

I saw your post not being able to print with your Deskjet 5740. I would recommend to reset the system to see if this helps you bring the print feature.

This command resets all of the printing system to its default configuration.

I hope this helps

  • Changing CP1525nw print quality

    I am trying to print patterns of transfer to a piece of wood for carving. This printer is new to us and does not give me the option to select print quality, I want just like our great old P1000.

    It offers a choice of project better or better when you wanted to print something I can't find something like this on our new printer. I make sure I print the darkest possible lines so that I transfer the lines completely.

    The software supplied with this printer offers only "printing shortcuts" and I can't find any place to change the setting of the way it prints.

    Thank you

  • How can I change the print quality of 72 dpi and 300 dpi?

    When I try to print the image from my library on my printer fate at very low resolution. There is nothing wong with the printer - if I use another program to print the results are perfect. How can I change the resolution settings in Windows 7?

    Hello Robin,.

    Although some applications allow you to change the settings for printing (as parameters of the screen), print quality is generally a function of the properties of the printer. Go to the Control Panel, select devices and printers, then select the printer in question. Right-click on the printer, select Properties, and then look for quality printing or the DPI settings page to change the resolution of your default printer. Once the resolution was increased, Windows will display the new default setting.

    Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

  • I've lost the ability to change on my C7280 print quality settings in Mac OSX10.6

    For a reason unknown to me, I am more able to change the print quality settings when you try to print the pages in Safari and other applications.  "Print quality" does appear in the options drop-down list, but when I select it, the menu closes and the selected option is all that was selected before.  I reset my printer, but that has not solved the problem.  Any suggestions?

    Oh, that's strange.

    First of all, make sure that your Mac is updated.  Run software: over and over until that there is no more.

    Restart your Mac.

    Now let's fix the permissions:

    Finder > Applications > utilities > disk utility.

    Select your Macintosh HD on the left, then click on the button "Repair disk permissions" and let it go to work.

  • HP LaserJet 400 M401dw: Print quality suddenly change on specific devices

    I have three computers (iMac, Mac Mini, Macbook Pro) wireless network with my printer, more two iPads. All use the latest version of the software, 10.10.1 on Mac OS.

    1 when the impression of the Mac Mini, has been improved the Mavericks to Yosemite, print quality is perfect.

    2. in printing on other computers, purchased new in December 2014, the quality seems to be draft quality, with full areas hatched. These two devices originally produced normal quality prints. All were extinguished for two weeks at Christmas. The issue of quality appeared when the printer is turned on again today. The iPad also previously created normal print.

    3. when I print a page of test/demo on the printer itself, the quality seems to be the quality of the project, as shown above.

    I deleted and reloaded the drivers on the devices concerned without result.

    The version of the driver on the Mac Mini is 19.7

    The version of the driver on the other two aircraft and after re-installation, is 2

    I copied the HP folder it draws from the Mac Mini to the iMac, but no effect on the quality. Similarly, the soft of HP of the user library. I can't find the driver anywhere 19.7 version.

    If all the computers and tablets this effect I blame the printer, but the Mac Mini is producing normal impressions!

    What Miss me?

    The software had mysteriously turned on the option "Econoprint" of the printer. As I had to disable this option access the web server of the camera (it can be done from the control panel of the printer) I don't know how it could happen other than the machine having a mind of your own! Achieve this result takes about four hours, 50 sheets of paper and an equivalent amount of toner... grrr!

    What operating system?  For Windows 7, you would go to start, devices and printers, right click on the HP Deskjet 3050, printing preferences, select the paper/quality tab and some Plain paper media quick project, apply, then click on the Advanced tab and under the characteristics of the printer, select printing in levels of gray and black ink only, apply, OK.

  • DeskJet 3050 J611n print quality project to save ink

    DeskJet 3050 J611n.

    seems to have a very simple choice for the print settings in the printer properties. How do I change print quality of presetting of the premium for quality project that uses less ink per page?

    I don't need the full quality print every time and it is a waste of ink.

    Ditto paper waste: there is no setting for duplex printing automatic option?

    appreciate any thoughts on this

    Thank you

    I don't have a Vista machine handy to check, but in general settings don't 'stick' in Windows if done from an application but do when made from the Printers folder.  Try to go into the printers, right click on the Deskjet 3050, folder select Printing Options, choose what you like draft mode, apply, OK.

  • OfficeJet 6700 Premium - how to set the default print quality of 'normal' of the "draft."

    Hello

    Thank you for your help.

    I have a printer/all-in-one Officejet 6700 Premium.

    Most of the documents that I print is for internal purposes, so "Draft" quality is sufficient.

    The default factory on the print quality setting is 'Normal '. I know how manually enter and restore the "draft", but I'd rather have the defaultproject, so I have to reset it manually each time.

    I could not find how to permanently fix the draft quality defect.

    Again, thank you for your help.

    George Mathis

    Thanks George,

    which is fully answering my question indeed

    Please follow the steps below to change the quality of the printer:

    1. Click the Start button.
    2. In the menu, click devices and printers.
    3. Right click on the HP Officejet 6700 icon.
    4. Click Printing Preferences.
    5. Enter the tab paper / quality .
    6. Select the project in the area of quality parameters.
    7. Click OK to save the settings.

    Now any future printing will be in draft quality.

    Kind regards
