My wife has the exact same model, and it blows out very hot air now and then, if the fan didn't work it would definitely cause a big problem. Dave

    Anyone experienced problems before with a HP 4550N Colour LaserJet Printer producing blank sheets? Toners, fusers etc are still at 45% mark so nothing wrong there. If you send a single page for printing it will churn out page after page of blank sheets and the only way to stop it is to turn it off.

  • 5. Extra CD Rom Letter ?????
    The CD burner on my HP 8575c died last week. I replaced it with a Plextor burner. Initially it was assigned the drive letter of D. I changed that to N like the original burner had been. I now have D, M and N. I've tried to delete the D but it doesn't take. The M and N drives are identified correctly. How do I get rid of the D drive. One strange thing that happens with the DVD drive is that it seems to remember the contents of the last CD that had been in it. If I put another CD in it to read, it shows the contents as being the prior CD. The burner shows the proper contents. TIA

Deskjet 1220c - Printing a Rich Black?

Postby J » Thu, 19 May 2005 03:16:51 GMT

I'm printing graphics from a Deskjet 1220c. The colours in the image are 
greys and black, the image format is RGB.

I previously printed the image and the black areas in it were a rich, dark 
black.

Now when I print it, both from Illustrator and from Photoshop, the black 
comes out  as about a 90% bluish grey. I have tried various combinations of 
profiles, intents, making the file greyscale format, CMYK etc. I just can't 
seem to get it printing a true black again.

The black in the Illustrator version of the image is currently:

c 95
m 83
y 82
k 90

I think this should make a dark black? I conclude that the ink combination 
is changing when its on the way to the printer.


On my last print attempt, these were the settings:

document colour mode: RGB
Illustrator colour settings: europe general purpose defaults
print space: same as source

The black was still bluish grey.



Please help! I've been on this for days...

1.Deskjet 1220c : Printing Super A3 size / Print Quality

Hi

I have an A3 graphic which i am printing on the super A3 (nobi - 13x19") 
sized paper.

When I print using the official HP software, it doesn't look as bold and 
crisp as when I print via the minidriver that winXP installs when it finds 
the printer. I enabled "photo mode" in the minidriver (2400x1200dpi), i 
think this was what makes the colours look better.

However, when I use the minidriver, it stops the print 14" down the page 
every time, therefore cutting off the bottom of the image. This is with the 
super A3 setting for the paper.

I want the rich, bold colours of the minidriver but with the full image 
printed!

Any ideas? Perhaps a way to enable the better print mode from the standard 
drivers? Or a way to stop the minidriver cutting off the bottom of the 
image?

TY

2.HP Deskjet 1220C - Strange character on page when printing

My boss has a Deskjet 1220C set up on her computer locally through a
USB port. What is happening is whenever something is printed on this
printer, no matter what is it, word doc, excel, picture file, etc, it
always adds 1 strange character at the bottom of every page. The
problem is sometimes resolved when the printer is turned off and then
turned on again but then after a while, the problem returns again. I
tried downloading the latest drivers from HP's web site and
reinstalling teh printer and the problem continues. She is running
Windows 2000 and is connected to a domain. Any ideas what could be
causing this?

Thanks in advance.

3.HP Deskjet 1220c - Prints strange characters

Here is the problems that none of us in IT have been able to resolve
for our director.

She has a Deskjet 1220c and the machine works fine. It's connected
locally to her machine (W2K Proff) via a parallel cable. Shen she
prints something, the printout comes out fine. Problem occurs when she
prints something and she runs out of paper. After refilling the paper
tray and hitting continue on the printer to continue printing the
existing document, the remainding sheets come out with 1-3 rows of
strange characters on the very top and nothing else. She is then
forced to resend the print job again from scratch whish is becoming a
real nuisance. I checked HPs site and found nothing. Downloaded the
latest drivers and the problem still occurred. Tried switching to a
USB cable and the problem still occurs.

We've tried everything but the punching and leg dropping test on that
printer so we're hoping someone can shed some light on this issue.

Any help is appreciated.

Please responde here or reply to my email address  XXXX@XXXXX.COM 

Thank you!

4.Really slow prints with HP Deskjet 1220c and reinstall driver problems

Hi everyone!

I'm having problems with my HP Deskjet 1220c printer under Windows XP
(32bit). Printing in limited user accounts does not work (it says
something about not enough free space in temporal folder) and only when
I enter in an admin user account, it starts to print.

But some days ago, printer is really really slow. It's about 10 minutes
to print just one page in black&white!! It prints a line and stops,
like no information arrives to the printer and was just waiting.

Then I tried to uninstall printer and reinstall WinXP drivers
downloaded from HP website, but after selecting install options, it
comes the "Please wait. At this moment the installation program is
running." box (or something like that 'cause I'm spanish and texts
appears in spanish) and it just hang in that screen and nothing
happens.

What's wrong now with my printer? I've never had problems 'till now.
Printer is connected through USB port to my PC.

Thanks a lot!
