Direct Printing I push the print button on the scanner and it says to set up the printer in the control panel -- it is set up as the default printer in the control panel -- what now?

    When I push the "Print" button I am told to go to control panel and set up a printer. I have an HP printer set up. What's up?

Not printing

When printing from the microsoft word document, make sure the printer selected is right. By that, i mean the default printer selected in the printers icon under the control panel should be HP OfficeJet 6100 series and not HP OfficeJet 6100 fax.
So the reason why this message comes up " scanner failure ". is you are either selecting a wrong printer when printing from microsoft word document or probably the printer port is not selected right.

To check the printer port.
Click on start-->control panel-->printer & faxes-->right click on HP OfficeJet 6100 series--> select properties-->Select the top tab called ports-->
Check the ports selected here.
If you have a USB connected printer it should be your printer model with USB settings.
If you have a wireless connected printer it should be your printer model with wireless settings like IP address.

Hp laserjet must manually push button to print

Hi,

Please print a configuration page from the control panel of the printer
- Menu > Information menu > print configuration.
- Check for paper handling details.
Following setting should reflect.
Tray 1: Any size / Any Type
Tray 2: A4 size / Plain Type

If the above settings are not reflecting in the configuration page, please change accordingly by browsing on the control panel of the printer to:
Paper Handling Menu >
Tray 1 Size: Any
Tray 1 Type: Any
Tray 2 Size: A4
Tray 2 Type: Plain

Let me know if that helps to solve the issue.

Regards,
Nikhil.

Hi I have HP PSC1610 printer-copier-scanner. 90% of all my printing I do in "FastDraft" Paper Quality. The default is in "Normal" Paper Quality and I have to change the settings each time I print. I would...

When you print from the Microsoft Word and while printing you change the Printer Properties and Print Quality to FastDraft
Everytime you close the window the setting gets reset and again when you start, you have to do the settings.

The Solution you are looking out is
Go to Start >> Control Panel >> Printer and Faxes
There you choose the your Default Printer HP 1610 >> Right Click
and Click Properties
Then you choose Printing Preferences and Make Choose FastDraft

This setting will remain as your default setting now
So whne you have to Print Normal Mode
You need to change the Properties from Microsoft Word.
and it will reset everytime you close MS Word.
Cause your Default setting then is "FastDraft"

I hope this solves your problem
all the best

HELLO...WE HAVE AN HP PSC 950 PRINTER, COPIER, SCANNER , FAX AND IT PRINTS SUPER SLOW...THIS HAPPENED BEFORE AND I PUSHED A BUTTON TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BUT IM NOT HAVING THE SAME LUCK THIS TIME...HELP!!

I would seem the quality is set to high instead of normal or draft (even faster). Right-click on the printer in the Printers and Faxes folder and select Properties. Under Printing Preferences you can set the default quality. When printing photos you can override this setting.

Can I set default printing to black and white for color laser printer?

Yes. Any printer's default options can be set as desired. Open the printer's properties (Start/Control Panel/Printers/right click the printer and left click Properties), and change the setting as you wish, then click OK. Those settings should be used each time you use the print command, unless you change the settings for that particular print job.

Hope this helps, and please rate my advice, good OR bad.

Good luck!
