How do i print a picture on 4 pages? -

I m trying to print a picture of a world map but one paper is not big enough. How do I go about printing different sections of it onto separate pages and taping them together?

Print a poster facility of your printer. When you select to print you should go into preferences and then select page set up. Then there should be a menu of print options like, normal printing, brochures etc, go down it until you get to, print a poster, click on that and then click on specifics underneath. Then click on print 2x2 which will then give you 4 sheets of A4 and you glue them together.

How can I tell what kind of printer a document was printed on? -

I m trying to figure out how you can look at a document and figure out whether it was printed on a laserjet or inkjet printer. i know it can be done, I just don t remember how.

Pour a tiny bit of water on the ink (not enough to damage the document!!). If it runs, it s an inkjet, if it stays, it s laserjet.

Lasers deposit tiny granules of toner then melt it into the paper. The edges of characters will be rough and through a microscope you can see the granules. Injets spray ink on the paper and it soaks in.

Use a magnifying glass to look at the ink. Inkjet will look more dotted, and laser printer will be smooth and shiny

How do you reset the printer cartridges for HP Deskjet D1420? -

I have a HP Deskjet D1420 and I have refilled the cartridges (HP 22 and HP 22). The printer continues to read them as low or empty and will not print properly. Does anyone have a hack to reset the printer or printer cartridges to either read full or not read at all.

If you want to trash your printer, refill your printer cartridges. I have repair printers with refills cartridges, they just leak ink all over the place. Plug up your print head and sometimes you get ink smears because the ink does no dry right. In other words, you do not save any money because you ruin your printer. Other cheap solution is to purchase out date cartridges, they still work just fine for me. On some printer cartridges have IC which needs reset by special machine when you refill your cartridges.

The following page tells you how to reset your ink cartridge(s) for the HP Deskjet D1420 ... cartridges HP21 and HP22. (Scroll down the page a little.) Best of luck, sir.

There are places that you can take them to get refiled, or you will just have to purchase new cartridges for your printer. If you have a Walgreens Drug store in your part of the country they do cartridge refills.

just remove and then replace. it should reset itself.

Refill the cartridge by squirting some pee into it.

smash it with a golf club. I recommend a 6 iron, but a 7 iron might do the trick as well.

im no computer nerd! don t ask me!!!

How do I get my printer to work? Without the owners manual? -

I have an x1270 Lexmark printer/scanner. It won t print at ALLgt; I have low black ink, but the color is almost full. I ve tried the troubleshooting but it wasn t much help.It won t even let me print color. Any suggestions?

Try the following! 1.)Reinstall (overwrite or uninstall, try either way) the Printer Driver (together with your printer during purchase) because you might have a driver compatibility issue. 2.)Try connecting your printer to your friend s pc and install the printer driver before printing. (If it works, then something wrong on your OS setting or Motherboard) 3.) Buy new cartridge (if possible color and black) because almost all printers comes with cartridges 1/3 and not full ink. Although printers will tell you that you still have full or low ink, some of these warnings are just approximate value because it does not rely on how heavy the graphics is during printing but it rely on the page count. 4.)High end printers usually have sensors to monitor your ink and all have smart chip in the ink cartridge that would determine the page count. Although you could fool the sensor that monitors the ink quantity, but you could not fool the smart chip on its counting. Still you will resort to buy new cartridge. Hope this help.

See if you might be able to download a manual by googling the model. This is a different model #, but you could try the suggestions. http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/forums/… or you could try this. http://tech.yahoo.com/gd/troubleshooting… Last resort, call Lexmark tech support. I just read where someone stayed on the line with a techie and finally after an hour, discovered the cartridge was outdated, though she had just bought it. Lexmark sent her another and it worked. Last suggestion, if this does not work, buy a different printer. We have a Lexmark at work, and though it works ok for normal printing, if you try printing a check, the rollers jam and the check is gone, and the cartridges at around $28 a piece, which we have replaced twice in the three months I ve been there, cost more than the printer.

well 1 lexmark is bad type of printer what i would do is get a different printer

What is the best DPI for making pages to print and for pages to use digitaly like on a CD? -

I want to make digital scrapbook pages that can be both printed and used as a slideshow on a CD or DVD. Is 300 a good DPI for this? Will I have to create each page with different DPI depending on what I want to do?

If you want very good quality, use 600 dpi. More expensive on the ink but the text is very crisp. Don;t forget that at 300 dpi, if the slideshow blows up your prints, they will be fuzzy. Just a hint. On text, 300 dpi is more than adequate but on photos, its a different ball game.

To display digital scrapbooking on display monitor, 70 DPI is enough, but if you want to print it out, 300 DPI or higher is recommended. Hope it helps

Kindle Question: How do I stop my kindle from flashing black when I turn a page? -

I just got one and it s disturbing. Is this normal?

That is just the e-ink working, drawing and undrawing itself on the screen. Its normal! It also happens when you put it in standby, where it shows famous authors and other drawings. If the screen flash like in this review... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cktgAwu3… … then you have nothing to be concerned about. It also talks a little about the e-ink.

How to use existing parallel printer cable to convert to USB ? -

Can i just buy the USB plug ? Connect this to existing printer cable.

Yes, there are converter cables for parallel printers to USB ports. Run ya about 30-40 bucks. Did you get a laptop without a parallel port? If you have a home network, why don t you consider buying an ethernet adapter for your printer and put your printer on your network.

No such adapter exists, and theres a good reason for it. Parallel cables are 25pin, usb is 5 pin, do the math

How do you stop ink bleeding when you print on special paper? -

i need to print invitations on paper which has an uneven surface and when i print on it the ink bleeds causing the writing to become blurred. any ideas/tips to stop this? unfortunately i dont know anyone who has a laser printer.

The best bet would be for you to contact the manufacturer for the best answer. If it is HP, site is listed below Go to their site. Then lower left click Support and troubleshooting Then upper right, contact HP Here you have a choice of email or live chat support (Via computer) They are fast in responding It is free....24/7

You HAVE to use the same brand paper as the printers manufacturer or this will happen.

How do I print wirelessly without purcahsing anything that Ive already got? -

I have a Belkin Wireless Router and Adapter. A Dell AIO 962 Printer. A Dell Desktop computer with Windows 2000 (which is connected to the adapter). A Dell Laptop running on Windows XP with a built in WIreless Adapter. I would like to be able to print from my Laptop wirelessly to my printer which is connected to the Desktop with Windows 2000. I have all neccessary software drivers for all of my hardware involved, and can download any type of firmware or something of the sort. I know printing wirelessly is possible, because it was at one time, but when I moved, it was lost.

Simply share the printer. Go to quot;Printers and Faxesquot; and right click on your printer. Select quot;Sharingquot;. Now go to quot;Printers and Faxesquot; in your notebook and select quot;Add a new printerquot;. When prompted select quot;Networkquot; rather than quot;Localquot;. This is similar to quot;Mapping a Network Drive..quot; in the respect it will now be available over your LAN.

I need to find or order a cd rom start up kit for a printer? -

Just go to canon.com and into the support page and look for your printer model under quot;driversquot;. You will be able to download the exact thing you need if you use some common sense and spend maybe 2 minutes looking.

How can I connect my printer to my laptop? -

I mean get it running from my new laptop from cyberschool without having to wait for a tech person to call me on Monday. I have an Hp laptop and an Hp Deskjet f4180.

got to HP web site and down load the drivers for the f4180 on to your laptop. then connect the cable between them and you are printing. If you are talking about networking via an internet connection. then you don t have to have the drivers they will be on the comp that is hooked to the printer. you just need to network the two comp. thru the internet. you will need the ip address of the comp or the printer and any passwords protecting the device on the other end and have the devices on the other end turned on. then go to connection on the control panel and follow the directs to set up new network. good luck.

go to the hp website and look up the manual. try just plugging it from the printer to the wall and printer to laptop through the USB cord, then install CD if you have it and there you go. should work

Just connect it - and run the install disk. You can also put it on a desktop and connect to it on the network.

Just plug it in the place with a printer symbol or the word Printer.

Hey well basically u just connect a USB cable from ur printer 2 ur lab top its that easy hope i helped!

Does anyone know approximately how much it costs to print a black/white page from a computer printer ? -

I have an ink jet printer and I need to make 4,000 black amp; white copies for work. I m wondering if it would be cheaper to make the copies myself or to have a shop do them for me.

Self-service copy is the cheapest. :) About 7 cents a page. Inkjets cost about 10-12 cents are page, even black and white. Judging that most inkjet printers do about 4 pages a minute, 4000 pages... Eeek. Not to mention loading and unloading all that paper as most inkjets at most loads maybe 200 sheets. I wouldn t even THINK about doing it myself.

Commercial printing is better, easier on you amp; cheaper...is it just front copy or front amp; back? Let us know amp; we can quote it for you with Free Shipping. Visit us online for more than 200,000 personalized products, www.asmgoods.com ? Lisa
