HP Laserjet 4250dn Stapler Problem

[alunmjones]

I’m having problems with the stapler attachment for one of our HP LaserJet 4250 printers, its decided that it will staple every page of a job together, normally that would be fine, but when you’ve asked for 30 copies of a document with 8 pages or more printed double sided and it tries to staple every page in one go it throws a complete wobbly.

 

You can print one copy at a time and its fine, just very tedious to do it like that.

 

I’ve tried a few things, updated the driver over the old one, fixed it for one day.

Removed the driver from the server and installed it again, re-installing the printer on the network, fixed it for one day.

Re-set the settings on the printer, that looked like it fixed it but the second job had the same exact fault.

 

Anyone have any ideas as to anything else I could try?

 

Thanks

Have you tried swapping to the PCL driver instead of PS (or vice versa)?

swaped the PCL driver for the PS driver, it didnt fix the fault, it did invert the black and the white tho, bit annoying.
