My HP Business Inkjet 2800, won't print PDF made

BECAUSE IT CANNOT FIND THE PROPER HARDWARE AND INK. TRY TO PRINT A TEST PAGE, AS WHEN YOU FIRST TEST IT.

I do this by:
1. Scanning each document and printing each one to a pdf file (using the free doPDF prgrame from http://www.dopdf.com/)
2. Merge the individual pdf files into one pdf file using PDFtk (from http://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/)
3. send the merged file
Hope this helps.

Pages 103 & 104 detail how to print and view the fax log.


Please leave feedback rating.

Hi. download user manual for your hp printer. http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00449611/c00449611.pdf

Many people had a similar problem with the Color Inkjet cp1700 B-size printer.

Another solution that worked for some people was installing the hp deskjet 9800 printer driver.

It appears what you need is a patched .gpd file for the BI 2800.
Try emailing Bob Headrick, who has done these patches. (Thanks Bob)!
Be sure to put Vista and Large Format Printing 11x17 in the subject line.

You'd think between HP and MS, they'd have this working right out of the box.
Did they think people would buy a B-size printer so they could hook it up to Vista and then not want to print mainly B-size documents?
They would have had happier customers if they would have included B-size support but left out A-size!
Amazing!

Good Luck

Hello,

View the user manual here. http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00449611/c00449611.pdf

go to page 60 and follow the instructions for replacing the ink cartridge, remember to have the printer on when you do.

Then go to page 62 and allign the print head automaticly following the instructions it gives.

This will re-callibrate the ink level on the printer and should read correctly for you.

Thanks

reinstall ur printer software andb then check

Sounds like your driver is sending A4 size documents, and you've got Letter in the drawer. When you do that, it runs out of room on the Letter-size page, since A4 is a tad longer, and has to continue onto a second page. Margins being what they are, the second page is usually blank.

Hope that helps.
