Fan the vinyl decal paper for one minute to separate any sheets that may be stuck together. Pull out any bent or damaged sheets.
Load the vinyl decal paper into your HP printer with the coated side facing the direction your printer prints��facedown if using an HP inkjet printer that is front loading or faceup if the printer is top loading. If using an HP laser printer, load the paper facedown (default setting) if placing the paper in a tray. If using the ��Bypass�� tray, place the paper faceup.
Click ��File�� and ��Print Preview�� to view your bumper sticker before printing. If changes are needed to the design, click ��Close�� to return to the document and make the changes.
Click on the printer icon to print the sticker if everything is OK. Do not select ��Photo�� or ��Gloss�� paper within your printer's ��Properties�� box--this will cause the printer to apply too much ink to the bumper sticker, which can cause the ink to run and fade faster when the sticker gets wet.
Let the bumper sticker dry for at least 20 minutes before handling the paper or applying the sticker. Use a paper cutter to cut the sticker out.

How to Change Ink Cartridges on a Brother MFC Inkjet Printer

Obtain a new ink cartridge(s) for the Brother MFC printer. Read the 'Ink Empty' error message that appears on the LCD display screen on the top or front of the printer. This message usually states which colors you need to replace. Temporarily place the cartridges to the side of the printer on a flat surface.
Access and open the compartment on the inside of the printer that holds the ink cartridges. In some models, you must lift the flat-bed scanner cover to see the ink cartridges. Other models have an ink compartment door to the right side of the machine.
Remove the empty ink cartridge. Unlatch the locking mechanism that holds the cartridge in place, if available. Pull the cartridge out from the machine. Discard it in the trash.
Open the plastic wrapping or container that holds the replacement cartridge(s). Peel off the protective tape that covers the contact points.
Look at the colors of the receptacles that hold the ink cartridges. Pick up the new ink cartridge for a single color. Use the guiding arrows on the cartridge and inside the printer to slide the tank into the machine. Carefully push the cartridge in until it stops. Repeat this step for each additional replacement cartridge.
Close the locking latches that hold the ink cartridges in place, if available. Close the flat-bed door or compartment door for the ink cartridge area.
Look at the LCD screen on the printer. Most models can automatically sense when a new cartridge is in place. Read the question and follow the instructions on the screen. For example, the printer might display the following sequence of text: 'Did you change the black cartridge?' > 'Press 1 = Yes' > 'Press 2 = No.' Use the numeric keypad near the LCD screen to enter your response. Proceed with sending print jobs to the machine.

How Do I Print Envelopes on HP Printer Officejet Pro?

Load a standard (business) size envelope into the bottom of your HP All-in-One, where the envelope icon is. Make sure to load it with the flap side up. If you are printing multiple envelopes, you can load as many as the paper tray will handle.
Slide the bar in the paper tray so it is right next to the envelopes. This will put the printer in 'envelope mode' and no paper from the paper tray will be fed during the printing process.
Open your word processor of choice and put it in 'envelope' mode. If you are using Microsoft Word 2007, this can be done by going to 'Mailings' and then selecting 'Envelopes.' Once you have entered your text, press the 'Print' button at the bottom of the page.
Wait for the printed envelope to come out of the top of the printer. Depending on the paper type, the ink may take a few seconds to dry, so be careful handling envelopes immediately after printing.
