How can i print one image in more than one page? -

Lets say i want to print the letter A for example in 4 pages so it will be really big,like taping all of them together to make one image.Thank you.

while your still on the site, zoom it 2 like 400%.

Printer ran out of paper and I want to print something How do I start it again? -

most would resume printing with a refill.

1) Load printer with paper. 2) There will be light flashing on printer, press adjacent button

press the resume button, this is the other button located near the power button of your printer...

Is it possible to share printers between different WorkGroups? -

workgroup1 has printer1 connected to computer1 workgroup2 has printer2 connected to computer2 workgroup3 has printer3 connected to computer3 so can each printer be shared with the other computers with different workgroups

Of course they can, im a printer engineer, if you go to start menu on the PC and then settings and printers for the 2000 OS Pc s and start menu and printers and faxes on the XP Pc s from there you will see the print queues from the printers installed on the PC, if you right click on the printer and go to properties, inside properties you will see a tab called sharing, tick the relevant box and give the printer a share name. then go to your own PC and again start settings and printers only this time go to add printer and select nect and then select the option a network printer or a printer install on another PC, this will bring up the box from where you can search for the printers name which you applied. and hey presto the printer is installed, Hope this helped :)

Yes, as long as they are connected in one network/hub/router, you just need their IP addresses, and all of the printers are shared

What type of printer is good for printing lots of color for home business? -

I have designed a heap of things to print out to sell but i dont know what printer will give me a clear crisp professional look. And that is meant for lots of color printing. I have been told inkjet is prob best idea, but i have no idea which type is good. Ill be printing out invitations, notecards, stickers and that sort of thing. Thank you x

Honestly from what you re describing, you d be far better off with a color laser printer. They re most certainly more expensive than inkjets but the difference in quality for business purposes is almost immeasurable. You can get a pretty decent HP Color LaserJet for around $250-$300 on sale. Also, check Newegg.com. they have the lowest prices on just about every type computer component you d ever want. Shipping will probably tear you a new one, pardon the expression, but you never know, Newegg also runs free shipping specials on select components and you absolutely cannot beat their customer service. (No, I m not a Newegg employee! We just buy from them all the time) Good luck J

I am an amatuer photographer and I have been using an HP Deskjet 6988 with photo paper and photo ink with fantastic results. The printer itself is not too expensive, though the paper and ink can add up. The quality, though is enough that I feel safe to recommend the 6988.

A color laser will print sharper text fast than an inkjet and does a pretty good job with photos. An inkjet will print photos more clearly but is slower, not as sharp with text and is more expensive per page. So what you should get depends on your volume and how high the quality of photos. You can get a Samsung CLP-316 color laser for about $150. Newegg and Staples both had a rebate for it. It does a nice job. If you want faster speed and higher capacity, I have a Ricoh CL1000N which is rated at 30 pages per minute and the cartridges for 6500 pages (color) and 10000 pages (black). I ve had it over a year and its a real workhorse. I paid under $300. Inkjet: As someone who was in the computer hardware business for years (though I rarely sold printers since I couldn t compete with the crazy rebates) I have always recommended Epson. The print quality is excellent, even on plain paper. I have photos I printed on a 640 about ten years ago hanging in my office which still look good, though not as good as the ones from the CX8400 on glossy paper. The warranty is excellent. For a year, Epson will express-ship a replacement and pick up the old one. I had one customer who needed this. He called one afternoon and had the replacement two days later. Another client bought a Canon. It needed two repairs within a few months. Each time it was taken to the repair center, then picked up a few days later. This client runs a specialty printing business and this really hurt. They have since bought an Epson CX5000 and have had no down time since. All name brand ink is expensive, but you can get cheap new replacement cartridges for Epson (not refills which I never recommend) for under $5 at http://ccs-digital.com/ink.asp I have been using these for years. The CX8400 scanner/copier/printer was on sale at circuitcity.com for $60 with free shipping. It uses 3 colors plus black. The RX595 scanner/copier/printer also prints on DVDs. It uses 5 colors plus black and has even higher photo quality. It s on sale for $80 after $55 instant rebate. http://www.cheapstingybargains.com/54342…

How can I fix my printer to fit the correct paper size? -

My printer prints an entire page, then prints about three sentences on a new page and skips to another page. I have no idea how to adjust the printer to the correct paper size. I already tried fonts etc it has not worked so far. Please help. Thankquot;s

Hi marge77, Unless you post the name and model number of your printer it is hard to help you. If it is occurring on a certain program post that too because most programs have a quot;page setupquot; that can be adjusted. Norm

Does copying documents on a copy machine take up less ink than printing out the documents? -

I have a printer and a copy machine and I ve written part 1 of my story that I wanted to share with 3 of my friends and get their opinion on the first part of it. I m just wondering if there s a way that I can use less ink.

A copier usually uses toner, not ink. It s generally cheaper because of it s lower quality. The problem would be if your quot;copy machinequot; is your all in one desktop inkjet, which would use the same amount of ink regardless. In the long run, copying has been cheaper in my experience for text.

It depends on the quality. For my printer/copier I have it set to print on low quality because that uses less ink. I think the copier is set at medium so it would use more ink But you could set it to lower quality). So just tell your printer to use less ink and print it again.

No. You could just give it to them on disc if you want to conserve ink.

Why did Hewlett Packard stop enclosing return envelopes for ink cartridges? -

The past few ink refills I ve opened for HP ink 74/75 have not had a return envelope for the empty cartridge as per usual. This hardly seems responsible to me. Anyone know what is going on?

HP only encloses return envelopes on cartridges which have aftermarket value. Currently the 74 and 75 have no aftermarket value and haven t for a couple months.

Which printer brands are known for using more ink than others? -

I have heard people say that some printers use a lot more ink to print the same amount of printing. Thanks

epson inkjet printers will consume more ink to print

Any printer that uses ink jet is a rip off. A few years back, someone in a computer magazine once calculated the cost of ink jet consumables to fill the average gas tank; 13 gallons would cost about $345,000.00. The industry has always existed on the razor and blade business model, that is, they give you the razor for free but you ll have to constantly buy their expensive blades. Another example of this is the diabetic glucose monitors. You get the machine dirt cheap but have to pay through the nose when buying the reagent strips. Hence, ink jet printers (all of them) are obtainable via almost give away prices. That is, they WANT you to have them, meaning you re forced to use their ink supplies. Best bargain? Buy any laser printer. Its a much better value overall even if you wind up paying more upfront initial cost. The cost of ownership is less over time, and the print is much sharper too. Ralph

Although some might be worse all ink jet printers seem to be heavy on ink. All printers should have an adjusting procedure by which the intensity can be lowed resulting in less use. In an attempt to sell more the manufacturers may reduce the ink in a cartridge.

Where can i recycle epson picturemate photo cartridges? -

I have a number of used cartridges from an epson picturemate photo printer that I d like to keep out of the landfill. Any ideas on where I can recycle them? I don t need to sell them, just find them a good home.

Staples and Office Depot accept used ink cartridges. For other options: http://www.castleink.com/_a-recycle-ink-…

Will a wireless printer work if I dont have a wireless network? -

Hi, I m not too inept with computers so hopefully someone can answer this for me. I am going shopping for a printer for a dorm room, to use with 2 laptops. We dont have a wireless network so will be connecting to the internet with an ethernet cord. Will a wireless printer work for both of our laptops?

If you don t have a wireless network your printer will not print wirelessly. You either need to invest in a print server or just connect to the printer to the computer you wish to print from.

Where can I take my empty Brothers ink cartridges to be recycled? -

I know OfficeMax takes HP, Dell, Lexmark ink cartridges back for recycling and even give financial rewards. Is there a similar program for Brothers brand ink cartridges?

No, empty brother cartridges have no value. Some places do recycle them, however there is no financial reward.

Most schools are always looking for used up ink cartridges and old cell phones so they can recycle them and get funding, try that it could make a big difference

I d start by looking at their web site or ask at the place where you bought it

Take it to staples.

Why is my photosmart C4100 printer printing everything out in pink at the moment? -

Any ideas, was working fine before!

contact hp tech support. bcoz it could be issue with the printer...

your running low on colored ink!

sounds like you need some new ink cartridges. you also might try cleaning the cartridge openings first. sometimes when i m low on ink cleaning em up helps make em last longer.

check the ink level in the others. sound like you only got magenta left. in our printer we have separate cartridges for each colour and the blue and yellow always follow each other and run out quicker

Replace cartridges

Because your colour cartridge has either run out of Yellow/Blue or those colour jets are blocked, only solution is another cartridge but you could try running the printer s cleaning cycle first.

I to have a HP Photosmart printer(C4180) and it sounds like you re colour ink is running low cause that s what my printer does. Check the levels in the quot;Software Centrequot;,to make sure,and buy a replacement. I find Argos have the cartridges cheaper than most high street stores!

Colour printer cartidges are made up of three colours, magenta, blue and yellow. They work by mixing or overprinting in these three colours. It sounds like the blue and yellow part of the cartridge is either empty or blocked (probably empty). Either buy a new one or (the more environmentally friendly and cheaper option), get it refilled.

Why is my HP Laserjet 1012 printing smears down the center of the page? -

These smears are small and run vertically down the center of the page. They are about 2quot; apart. I changed the toner and the smears still appear with the new cartridge.

Your printer rubber quot;drumquot; is damaged. It leaves a gap when printing. Replace! t4ke c4re

in 20+ years of printer reapir i have never heard of a quot; rubber drumquot; lol....... if you have tried a new toner and still have problems chances are you have a torn fixing film *** y.... call the local hp repair shop and ask for the reapir cost to replace a fixing film and they will let you know. if you live close to me in indiana i can fix it for you cheaper than most places ......................

That means fuser unit is bad (film broken) replace that fuser unit.

How do I get images that I have scanned on my HP printer to save on my computer so I can access them? -

I d really like to be able to send them to my Kodak Easyshare software so I can edit them.

Rather than print the scanned pictures, there has to be an option to quot;save asquot; The default directory could be my pictures, but might not be. In that menu box to quot;save isquot;, you can find out what folder it is so you can easily find them later.

theres always a hp image ..?where you can find your scan pictures

they scan to my documents my pictures by default

Why does my HP 1022 print a dark line down each side of the page? -

There is a line of toner around the drum at each end. I m afraid to try cleaning it for fear of damaging it. I ve had the toner cartridge refilled twice. I need clean copy for my business. I would not recommend this printer to anyone thinking of buying one.

hi . i gives you 3 solution s and you test it. 1. clean your paper path 2. check your laser scanner and clean that ( that is on front of your printer . that is a little hard to open ) . 3 . replace your drum roller on cartridge or your cartridge step s to remove laser scanner Laser/scanner assembly 1 Remove the following assemblies. ● Right-side cover. . ● Left-side cover. . ● Top-cover assembly. See Rear panel and top-cover . ● Front-cover. ● Engine control unit assembly.

You can t simply refill a toner, the fact that yo have done it twice is impressive. The green electrostatic roller on your toner cartridge is shot. You do need to replace the toner.

Yes. The drivers are available for download at HP.com and look to be compatible with several versions of Windows, Mac and even Linux.

Why is my printer printing out messed up pictures? -

At random, my picture will print out photos with a green/blue tint. It s so frustrating! The weird thing is though when I do a color test, it s shows that it is not out of ink. What s wrong?

you got a messed up printer

Try calibrating/alining and cleaning the printer cartridges.

What software are you using? And colour mode? Sometimes printing from RGB can give odd colour tints. Or clean the print heads etc

Kieran got it right. : clean your print head But you didn t say what kindof printer you had so I cannot tell you exactly how to remove the print head. In my Canon, I merely take out all the 6 cartridges, then lift out the print head and clean each circle with a twin tip dipped in alcohol, one for each colour. Then I replace the head, replace the cartridges, go to maintenance and press quot;deep cleaningquot;. I do this cleaning four times, then do a tet strip. It is usually perfect. THen I take out each color cartidgein turn and make sure the ink is ready and wet at the entrance. If it isn t i may have to wet each dry entrance with the same color, using a hypodermic needle with a little color on it. When all the cartridges are wet and flowing and all the jets are clear and unclogged, then your printer will produce proper phots and NOT until then will they do it.

Get a laser printer and replace your ink

How to print invitations on color stock? -

I have choc. brown paper stock, and would like to print white letters. But when I print the printer thinks I have white paper so it doesn t print anything on the stock......

Funny you asked this another asked it a few days ago. To my knowledge there is no way as white ink cartridges would be needed as the printer mixes colours to get others, which I obvious know you know, but white I think it just leaves the page white as it assumes you are printing on white paper. I seem to remember someone saying that you can get something to do it but from where or how much it cost I don t know. It makes me laugh that Word has a white colour font setting but printers can t print white! I once set the background page color to black and wrote in white and all that happened was the paper went through without any print on it and I used coloured paper as well! Edit These sites ask the same question and it does not appear there is white ink for home printers. http://answerpool.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f… http://forums.prophecy.co.za/f10/white-p…

I know that this is not what you wanted on the invites but have you tried to set the fond colour to a very pale shade of grey to see if: 1) That it will print something nearing white. 2) If it will then be pale enough to pass for whitess on the brown paper? Report Abuse

How to print a booklet format on word 2007? -

im printing a mothers day card and i need to know how to print it right to fold into a booklet please tell me how.. simple steps please!!

First, select a new page and set it to landscape. Now set your ruler in the middle of the blank page. If you are doing the front cover first, write only on the right side of the page so that their is nothing in the back when you fold it. Now to do the inside, write whatever you want on the left and/or the right side. If you need to place a pic or clipart, put the image holder on whatever side you want and resize it to it so it looks good. When you are ready to print, print the front first and make sure your printer is set to landscape and not portrait. Go in the printer setup in the page layout. Now, once it comes out of the printer, re-insert it face down and the job is done.

Where can i go to find refill cartridge? -

I want to refill my color ink for my HP officejet 5610v all-n-one, but i dont want pay for the actual ink. Where can i find one of those refill kits and is it compatible with all printers or what?

I buy all my ink on EBAY...and you could no doubt find either the generic brand refilled already or the name brand(which is what I get) or the refill kit on Ebay. BTW, I often buy expired ink and so long as it is brand name, it works almost as long...for a fifth of the price or even cheaper! GOOD LUCK! Maybe this link might help?? http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll…

There everywhere. You can get them at office supply stores, walmart, target, drug stores, order them online, they are on ebay, I ve even seen them at the grocery store.

speaking as a computer person, I know you want to save money and yeah those kits work to some extent, but everytime you do that there is a risk you take of damaging the cartridge where it leaks out into your printer and you have a big mess and possibly a broken printer. just thought I would tell ya that

i bought mine at wal mart for $14 but my cartridge is the #1 cartridge y Lexmark so yours should be a little cheaper thatn mine. you can also try algreens to get it filled. not sure about their prices though, i d look into it. good luck...p.s. my ink cartrigde is only 1 multi color so thats why my ink refill kit had ALL the colors! good deal!

What store provides a CD label printing service? -

I want to have a photo printed on the disc. I don t want to have to pay $200 just to get a couple CD s labeled.

Your best and cheapest solution is to buy a printer that can print onto CD/DVD s. The least expensive one manufactured is the Epson R280. It is a excellent photo printer, with 6 individual ink cartridges and High Definition inks, but it also prints onto the printable CD/DVD s. Check it out on the Epson website and you can probably buy it cheaper on-line, but in retail it sales for $99.99 and I have never seen it any cheaper (in store). http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/consu…

Do it yourself Use neato labeler It is simple to use And you can put photographs on them

some printers have the capability to do this at youre home(mine)
