Situation

Solution

A page fails to print.

Set

PRINT PS ERRORS=ON

, and then send the job again to print a PS

error page. If this does not identify the problem, try turning off
Resource Saving and I/O Buffering or try installing more memory
(see

PCL or PS font list

).

A page prints with clipped
margins.

If the page margins are clipped, you might have to print the page at
300-dpi resolution or install more memory. Also try turning off
Resource Saving
and I/O Buffering.

A PS error page prints.

Make sure the print job is a PS job.

Check to see whether your program expected you to send a setup
or PS header file to the printer.

Check the printer setup in your software application to make sure
that the printer is selected.

Check cable connections to ensure that they are secure.

Reduce the complexity of the graphic.

Add available memory by turning on Resource Saving.

A text listing of PS
commands prints instead of
your PS print job.

The control-panel

PERSONALITY=AUTO

setting might have been

confused by a nonstandard PS code. Check the

PERSONALITY

setting

to see if it is set to

PS

or

PCL

. If it is set to

PCL

, set it to

PERSONALITY=AUTO

. If it is set to

AUTO

, set it to

PS

for this print job only.

When the job has printed, return the setting to

AUTO

.

Attempted to use a
disk-resident font, but the
printer substituted a
different font.

If you are using PCL, print the PCL Font Page, and verify that the font
is on the disk. If you are using PS, print the PS Font Page and make
sure that the font is on the disk. If the font is not on the disk, use the
Device Storage Manager or the Macintosh-based HP LaserJet utility to
download the font.

Auto setup did not
automatically set up the
printer.

Set up the printer manually by selecting Configure (Windows 9.X
and NT) or Device Settings (Windows 2000 and XP).

Select an alternate PPD (Macintosh). See

Using the embedded

Web server

.

The PPD might have been renamed. If so, select the renamed
PPD (Macintosh). See

Using the embedded Web server

.

A network queue might be present.

Blank pages print.

Turn the printer off and then on.

Make sure the printer cartridge is installed properly.
