Henvan20 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Hi Guys Im a recent switcher. New to the forum. Power user on XP and semi mac-n00b at the moment! I love my new mac and wanted to buy a macbook pro for myself and also a mac mini for my mom, but I have a few major issues I have to sort out first. One being: I have a Hp laserjet p2015dn shared on my network and I print to it using IP printing. When I go file>print and print it works flawlessly. However, when I click the print shortcut in word for instance (or print through quicksilver), the printer thinks I want to use manual feed. Any ideas why this is? To sum up: The printer wants to manually feed from tray one when i click the "print shortcut" in any app. If i go file>print it works perfectly. I have already: * Installed the latest printer drivers * Reinstalled the printer * Restarted the printer * Tried bonjour printing Im running: * Mac mini G4 1.42 * OSX 10.4.10 * Connecting wirelessly to aiport extreme basestation (connected to jetdirect port on printer) My xp machines doesnt have any problems. Any help will be appreciated. I have to get this working, its really really annoying! Is there a place where I must change default settings or something? Thanks for a great forum!

Numberzz Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 What do you mean by print shortcut? Does that mean "command(apple)-p"? That is what print is in any application in Mac OS X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henvan20 Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 By print shortcut I mean the print icon in word for instance. It prints immediately without the print dialog. Or if I go laserjet P2015>open file>current selection in quicksilver to print a batch of files. When Ive done this i have to physically go to the printer and press the go button to start the printing. (the printer status is "waiting for manual feed.") However, if i go command-p or file>print, it brings up the print dialog. I dont change any settings, press print and the printer prints perfectly. (auto feed) Sorry for being unclear in my description. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
