The reason you need to press the print button is because of the mismatch between the two paper sizes, this is normal. Find the manual and follow the instruction on how to change the paper size on the printer, or change the paper size in your software. Either should work. They must be the same for it to work properly.
SOURCE: my hp laserjet 4 plus printer cannot print excel files
wherer are you printing this, A4 is european, north america would use letter, etc..
if you go to control panel, open the printers and faxes folder, right click the printer in question, a window will pop up, click on properties.. a new window should open. click on "Printing Defaults" or "Printing Preferences" then click on "Advanced" ( I believe it should be to the lower left) that will open another window, in paper size make it Letter if your in N America, A4 for Euro.. this will set the deafult print..
Click ok, then print a test page from the general tab..
The reason you getting this LOAD LETTER message. your excel page setup is set to print to letter, your machine is set to print top A4
If you open Excel then go to Print then a window should pop up where you select the printer you want to use, click on Properties, then Lay out, then Advanced, and input the correct paper size before you print.
does this happen with all excels files, or one particular?
Create a new Excel file, and try printing it.. possibly could be in that particular file. I have seen this happen alott particulary with PDF files.. Where the incorrect paper size is in the file..
SOURCE: HP Laserjet 3050, need to press ok each time printing
did it work before? check paper size for trays - suspect it is set for a4, change to letter size
SOURCE: My HP P2035N LaserJet is saying it's "offline"
Offline means that the computer thinks the printer is not available. The problem is that some how, that option in the printer menu has been checked. "use printer offline" is the choice that has probably been checked. Some times this will happen after a communication or paper problem has occcured.
To get to this menu, go to printers and faxes on the control panel. Find your printer icon and click on it.
A window wil appear and you will see file in the upper left corner. Click on this and a drop down menu will appear. You should see the offline option here, and if there is a check mark in front of it, click on the check mark to remove it.
This should clear the problem.

Right click on the printer driver icon and select properties. When the window opens, click on device settings tab at the top. Under device settings you will find a section labelled "installable options". Make it that it shows the duplexer installed. This is the most common reason that the duplexing will not function.
