Hi again!

If you check the job details for that job, what type of paper does it ask for? on the machine.

When I did it it asked me to check a box indicating whether or not It had a duplexer. If checked it let me print double sided with the generic pcl driver.

I used the generic pcl and a test page printed!!!!!!

it says out of paper but it still printed!!!

 

I will settle for not printing double sided for now as long as i can print for now. however if anyone has a solution to actually use the functions of the printer using the driver and not a generic, im still open to it!

Try switching the print driver to just generic pcl . I've done that with my mac's and a workcentre 5225 with great success

8 1/2 x 11

im using the "send a test page to printer" from the general printer settings of the macbook pro in system preferences so its the default 8.5x11 paper.

all it does is beep

everyone else can print

Well, i can't access 127.0.0.1:631 from my browser using my apple. I will google "cups" and see what i have to do to print from it. I also put paper in every tray possible and it still said empty tray.

 

Grrrr... lol

Hi again!

 

If the machine tells you that the tray is empty you can go in and check details on the actual job, by clicking on it in the job queue on the machine, you'll be able to see what exactly it's asking for.

 

Cups is the default printing system on a MAC, try writing 127.0.0.1:631 in ur browser to access it.

 

Best Regards

They keep referring me to my machine maintenance agreement even though i explained this is not a maintenance item.

 

Printing through "CUPS"? I don't know what that is, perhaps that will help?

 

Also, no it doesn't tell you which tray is empty but before i went to print, i made sure all the trays had paper in it.
