Did you change your paper settings at all? I have the HP photosmart D110 & I was just looking through options on it. Haven't used this paper but try right clicking on your printer icon in the control panel and mine has a features tab... all sorts of paper choices. On the general tab, I have mine set at plain paper, had to play with that to give further options. Good luck!

I need a new printer but there are so many available it's overwhelming. I keep a watch on Brad's Deals for a daily bargain on printers. There have been many but none so far that will scan 11 x 17 and wireless and I want those two features.

I have an older H/P 932C DeskJet and newsprint prints fine. I do always feed one piece of paper at a time. I can only think that some reason that the printer is not feeling the paper. Can you try to feed a regular sheet and a newsprint together?? Wouldn't want to cause any damage to your print. Just a thought...

You might consider using freezer paper cut to 8 1/2 x 11 inches. Lightly press the newsprint paper to the freezer paper. Make sure that the leading edge is nice and flat.

Update on the quests to print on newsprint.... I went to Office Depot. These new Xerox copiers are a little bit complicated. After several minutes I managed to make a couple of copies on the newsprint. I got cocky and set the copies for 9. OOPS! It pulled the first 4 thin papers through and printed on them very well. It tore the next sheet in two and hung up part of it in the copier. My bad. The tech was NOT happy with me. Although there were no signs that you couldn't print on anything else, she acted like I should have known that I couldn't do it.
Lesson Learned. The Xerox will print on the paper, but only ask it to take 1 sheet at a time. The tech told me her big printers would absolutely not print on the newsprint paper. That's making me question my idea to get a printer/copier that will copy on 11x17 paper. |
I, too cannot print newsprint on my HP printers. The older inkjet 6980 will print Carol Doak paper, but not newsprint. The new Photosmart 7520 won't print either newsprint or Carol Doak paper. I contacted HP and they said none of their printers have ever been tested for these types of paper. No help whatsoever. I'm now looking for a small, cheap black only printer, that will print newsprint. When I try to print the newsprint, the paper jams.

...need someone to "invent" a copier/ printer for quilters...one that will take our thinner paper -for PP....but please keep the cost of it reasonable!
