Many people get caught by this - A Printer assumes its leading roll edge is the top of its portrait page. A portrait is printed across the paper - ie A panorama's tree trunks standing parallel with side of roll and sky on leading edge - and landscape means print long side down the paper roll - tree trunks now parallel to leading edge of roll - not the side!

Just because 'a portrait' is wider than its height does not make it a landscape when it is needed to be printed across the paper!

The printer assumes the narrow leading edge of the paper coming off the roll is its top. Like the top of an A4 page - like when reading a letter, electricity bill, etc.

So our 'portrait' of 'Jenny lying down' is a portrait and we print it across the page - in portrait mode - (as long as the size required will fit) the long leading 'top' edge being the first to come out of the printer.

If we need to print her 'standing up' with the long side now wider than the paper roll (if larger size needed), then 'Jenny lying' now is a 'landscape'

So good rule may be that the sky in any (wide?) portrait comes out of printer first - unless image is inverted of course - which only makes it an upside down portrait.

To summarize - 'Jenny lying' with her side/back to paper length (the running roll) is a landscape setting - whereas 'Jenny lying' across the roll is a portrait setting.

Try selecting LANDSCAPE as opposed to PORTRAIT by using the proper print menu in your application rather than the simple print icon from most tool-bars.

You can usually find it in the FILE menus

My printer Lipi 2280+ printing properly with 15*12 and fanfold 8.5*12 paper,but when i am using paper width slighly smaller than it less than 8.5 width printer gives paper with error>kindly suggest
You see the "Paper Width Error" on the 2280+ because the print job being recived by the pritner is wider than the physical paper which will cause the pritner to print on the platten, in order to rectify the problem.

  1. Ensure the print job on the system is less than 8.5 inches wider
  2. Perhaps move the paper in the tractors to the right
  3. Disabling the Paper Width Sensor will clear the error but may cause the printer to print on the Platten which may reduce print head life, the Paper Width Sensor can be disabled in the following way;
    Start with the printer Powered OFF
    Hold Down the ONLINE button and power the printer ON keep ONLINE held down until you see ASCII80 ASCII136 on the top line of the display
    Press the button under NEXT repeatedly until you see APW on the top line of the display
    Press the button under APW
    Set APW = OFF

    This will disable the APW sensor and you will not see the Paper Width Error

The printer only prints half a page then moves to next page and a
Before printing, the printer checks the paper size. If the paper edge guide is positioned incorrectly, the paper may be fed at an angle. If this happens, the bottom of the paper is therefore at an angle and not perpendicular with the paper feed rollers. This can result in the paper sensor not recognising the real page width as it can only detect a certain amount of the bottom of the paper sheet which is nearest to it.

If only part of the width of the paper is detected, the printer considers that the paper width is less than it actually is. To avoid printing on internal parts of the printer such as paper feed rollers, the printer automatically cuts the image to fit the detected paper width As this phenomenon depends on the paper feeding condition, it can be random.
Reload the paper and make sure it is loaded correctly. All the way to the right and the paper guide correctly adjusted.

On my 2265+ I will be printing and I recieve "paper width error" press online to continue
The "paper width error" indicates you are printing out side the area of the paper. ie the document you are trying to print is wider than the physical width of the paper you have in the printer.
The printer displays this error to give you the opportunity to remedy the problem as printing outside the area of the page may be undesirable;

  • Data printed outside the area of the paper will be lost, you will not see this information you printed on the paper.
  • You may shorten the life of the print head by printing on the platen with no paper to protect the print head.
I would recommend the following;
  1. Check the size of paper selected on the computer system, or ensure the data print width is the same or smaller than the actual paper size used in the printer.
  2. If it is not possible to change document size on the system or if the printed outside the paper width are not required or are simply spaces (ie no print) you may wish to turn of the paper width sensor so the edge of the paper is not detected and the error is no seen, the paper width sensor can be disabled in the following way.
  • Power printer OFF
  • Hold down the ONLINE button and power the printer ON, keep the ONLINE button held down whilst the printer powers on and initializes.
  • Release the ONLINE button when you see ASCII80 and ASCII 136 along the top line of the display.
  • Press BUTTON 4 (under NEXT) repeatedly until you see the APW option along the top line of the display.
  • Press the button directly under APW
  • Press BUTTON 2 or 3 to toggle the APW setting to OFF
  • Press the button under SET (button 1)
  • THen power the printer OFF and after a few seconds back on again.
The above actions will disable the Paper Width Sensor and you will no longer see the Paper Width Error, be aware you may be losing data and or shortening the life of the print head.

Printer will not scan pictures.
Introduction To use the scan features, the HP All-in-One and computer must be connected to each other and turned on. The HP All-in-One software must also be installed and running on the computer prior to scanning. To verify that the HP All-in-One software is running on a Windows computer, look for the HP Digital Imaging Monitor in the system tray at the lower right side of the screen, near the time. NOTE: Closing the HP Windows system tray icon can cause the HP All-in-One to lose some of its scan functionality and result in a No Connection error message. If this happens, correct it by restarting the computer or by starting the HP Image Zone software. Follow the instructions below to scan documents from the all-in-one to an application. Make a Scan Step one: Load paper
  1. Open the paper tray door. Figure 1: Opening the paper tray door c00315283.gif
  2. Pull the paper tray extender toward you, as far as it will go. Flip the paper catch at the end of the paper tray extender to open the extender the rest of the way. WARNING: Legal paper might get caught on the paper tray extender if it is fully extended when you print onto legal paper. To avoid a paper jam when using legal-size paper, do not open the paper tray extender.
  3. Squeeze and hold the tab on the top of the paper-width guide, then slide the paper-width guide to its outermost position. Figure 2: Sliding the paper-width guide to the outermost position c00315284.gif
  4. Tap a stack of paper on a flat surface to align the edges, and then check the paper for the following:
    • Make sure it is free of rips, dust, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges.
    • Make sure all the paper in the stack is the same size and type.
  5. Insert the stack of paper into the paper tray with the short edge forward and the print side down. Slide the stack of paper forward until it stops. NOTE: If using letterhead, insert the top of the page first with the print side down. For more help on loading full-size paper and letterhead, refer to the diagram engraved in the base of the paper tray. Figure 3: Inserting paper into the all-in-one c00315285.gif Squeeze and hold the tab on the top of the paper-width guide, then slide the paper-width guide inward until it stops at the edge of the paper. Figure 4: Sliding the paper-width guide to the edge of the paper c00315286.gif Do not overload the paper tray; make sure the stack of paper fits within the paper tray and is no higher than the top of the paper-width guide.
Step two: Load the original NOTE: Many of the special copying features will not work correctly if the glass and lid backing are not clean.
  1. Lift the lid and place the original face down on the left front corner of the glass, with the sides of the original touching the left and bottom edges. NOTE: For more help on loading an original, refer to the guide engraved under the glass.
  2. Close the lid.
Step three: Scan to an application NOTE: To use this feature, you must have installed the full software package and the HP Digital Imaging Monitor must be running.
  1. Press Scan on the control panel. A preview image of the scan displays in the HP Document Viewer window on the computer, where you can edit it.
  2. Click Done or Finish in the software. The HP All-in-One sends the scan to the HP Image Zone software, which automatically opens and displays the image.
NOTE: To stop scanning, press the Cancel button on the control panel, or in the HP Image Zone software, click Cancel . Have a good day,

My HP LJ 4 is printing Grey roller type marks. Not diagonal it's like a rectangle across the the width of the paper about 1 1/2 wide then a space about 1/4 then the Grey again. Any help would be gr
Sounds like dirty rollers or perhaps a bad print cartridge. If you have another ctg to replace try it first if lines are still there check the rollers inside the machine where the paper is fed. Use the sheet to match where the marks are to the rollers on the machine. When you find them clean with alcohol and let dry then try again. there are also paper feed tires that are inside the paper tray that could be dirty also.

Hope this helps

Can't print custom envelope on HP Photosmart 7280
OK, to make this clearer, I had the same problem on my HP C7180. It seems to be rampant throughout their Multifunction printers.

My Fix, combining several others:

1. Go to Printers and Faxes on your Start Menu. In the Printers window, select Server Properties from the File menu. Use the Forms tab of the Print Server Properties dialog box to view printer forms. You may also see lots of forms that you wish your printer could see, but don't worry, it'll see the one you create now. And be sure when you create your form that you use the narrower dimension for the width and the longer dimension for the height. Usually for envelopes you will print in landscape mode.
2. Select the Create A New Form check box.
3. Enter a new name for the Form in the Form Description For field.
4. Use the fields in the Measurements area to set the paper size and margins. *Use the narrower dimension for the width and the longer dimension for the height*.
5. Choose the Save Form button to save the form. The Save Form button only gets pick-able when you type in a different name than what's there already.

Now go to your document program, such as Word. Make sure the window for the document you want to print is the active window. Select File/Page Setup..., Paper Size Tab, and there select the form you just created from the dropdown list

Still in your document program, select File/Print... then Properties. Select the Features tab, which may be differently named. Under Resizing Options/Size dropdown, select More... and there you'll find your newly created form down at the bottom, under Custom. Pick it.

If you're printing envelopes or other things where the way you view it it's wider side-to-side than it is tall, be sure and select "landscape" in both "page setup..." on your document program and in File/Print.../Properties/Features?Basic Options.

When I did all this methodically, I was able to print my Christmas envelopes. Yay!

How to change the size of the paper on this printers
Where is your problem?

Changing the paper size and size adaptations are possible from the printer driver settings - just look into the tabs.

Paper size of sheets is detected, when you load it.

Roll paper is loaded in the drawer - and I think width is detected while the loading process.

Please give more details on your problem

Printing Borderless at 42" width?
Set the roll size to 44 inch, set your left margin to 0 (in your preprint software), experiment. With margins set at 0, using Onyx Productionhouse 7.3, the 9800 will print approx 41.8 inch image on 42 inch roll 43.8 on 44, etc. This is considered borderless printing. No matter what size roll you tell the printer it has in it, it will print to about an eighth to a sixteenth of an inch short of the paper's actual edge (that's the left side of the roll paper coming out of the printer - the right side of the print). If you load, for example, a 36 inch roll, tell the printer its a 44 inch roll, and send a 40 inch wide print, with a left margin of 0 it will print around 35.8 inches, cutting off the image just before it would overprint and get ink on the machine (1/8 - 1/16inch before the edge of your 36 inch stock). It is possible that these tollerances will be different depending on what software you send your images with... hope this helps!
