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.

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?
