Banner problem xp home

Have interfaced with hp fo a week now and also received new unit but have same problem. printer works on all phases except when printing a banner. if i make more than a 2 page banner just prior to end of 2nd sheet it skips and continues on 3rd sheet then skip near end of 3rd sheet and continues at statr of 4th sheet. if you fold over on it self nothing has been missed it all lines up ok. when setting up it calls for banner paper i do everything called for but it skips. have uninstalled drivers, reinstalled with same results. tried using 2nd computer same problem. i am interfacing with ethernet because if i go usb it shuts my system down. i also have an epson all in one on same pc am using xp home

More Details:

When I print a banner of longer than 2 pages it does take paper in and print as a banner should but any text or pictures I place across page do not come out properly when it is printed.
Everything is ok across page 1 & 2 but text or pictures on end of page 2 stop short and continue at start of page 3 and do the same at end of page 3 and continue at start of page 4.
If I fold paper over at end of page 2 it will align up with start of page 3, nothing missing just a gap and same thing for page 3 & 4.

Have talked with Hp support done everything they suggested to no avail.

This problem is the same on 2 different PC'S and they sent me a new printer.

Here is what they suggested and what I have done.

1. Make sure paper is in right and select banner paper from paper type.

2. remove all drivers and reinstall

3. purchase good USB cable, I got Geek Squad $34 at best buy.

4. Take all other printers off system reinstall drivers for HP6940 with security turned off (only did this on the PC I wish to use).

5. followed all suggestions they requested on selecting banner paper type and procedure for printing.

As I said before I have an old HP 712 that I can still use and this program still works perfect on that printer but that printed call for checking banner box and putting a switch in banner position before printing when I go to printmaster help is tells me to go to continous print which Hp6940 does not give me this option, I think when I select banner paper this is suppose to do this using software.

I am using Printmaster Platinum 17 and have been using their program for 6 or seven years from version 8 up to version 17 with no problems.

I also tried o use Ethernet instead of USB input with same results.

Printer works perfect for all other functions that I have tried.

Hope this helps

Did you reinstall the drivers from the original cd? If so, then uninstall the drivers completely, download the latest updated version of the full driver from here; http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=467980&lang=en Install the printer and see if the problem is the same. uninstall and reinstall the printmaster software manually - go to this link for detailed instructions; http://support.broderbund.com/fix.asp?isid=43427&prog=1294820935&printer=1 Try the procedure on this link next; http://support.broderbund.com/fix.asp?isid=43440&prog=1294820935&printer=1 Then try this link - see if you can get the hp printer to work by emulating a different model; http://support.broderbund.com/techtips_detail.asp?id=88 There are no relevant updates for the printmaster software, but it could be worth checking this link occasionally, and download the available updates to see if they make any difference (unlikely, but worth a try); http://support.broderbund.com/faq_list.asp?id=1294820935#downloads If this doesn't help, then there is a currently unfixed compatibility issue with the printmaster software. Contact Broderbund directly on this link; http://support.broderbund.com/contact_cs.asp See if they have anything to say - it may be that they will address the issue if they haven't so far. Hope this helps :)

Error Code 223 (ECM error)

The receiving product has been unable to receive an entire page even after multiple attempts to rereceive the parts of the page that contain errors. This is usually due to extremely poor line conditions.

1. Reattempt the fax reception at a different time when telephone line conditions have improved.
2. If the error persists, disable ECM. Errors may still occur, and may result in degraded image quality on the received page. However, the ability to receive the entire document will be improved.

I have a brand new IR compressor model 2475N7.5 with a 7.5 hp 460v 3 ph motor. is it possible to convert it to a single phase power supply? or should i just exchange it? ... I ordered it thru Northern Tool...

When you google home made 3 phase converters, you will find many ways to make use of 220v single phase instead, however you are limited as to the hp that the motor will produce. If you spin the motor first then apply 220v, the motor will continue to turn at much reduced hp. You need full power to turn a type 30 pump depending on pulley combination/ setup. Best to return the unit and get one that will run on 220v single phase. It will most likely consume more power to do the same work however it would cost a great deal to install 3 phase. Most likely not even available at all. Many years ago, I worked at Sears and happened to see an electrician coming down from roof access of building. He told me that sears had a 3 phase generator being turned by a 220v single phase motor to run an air conditioning unit. He said that it worked quite well. Does not sound cost effective.

Banner printing on HP DeskJet 722c InkJet Printer

The problem with your printer is probably if you are using Windows XP it will not print banners from there. I downloaded drivers too and found if I went to a printer with Windows 98 and put in my software program the banner will print out. Hope this works for you. I had to find it thru trial and error.
