print the last page.

Recommendation


Check if the DOS application software interface
settings match that of your printer: for example, if
you are using a parallel printer cable, you would
most likely set your DOS software printer port to
LPT1.


Check if the printer has any printer alarms active.
This is an indication that your application printer
emulation setting and the printer's emulation do not
match. Check in your application software which
printer you have selected to make sure the printer is
set up correctly. Select the HP DeskJet 1600C or
Monochrome LaserJet driver.
When you set the printer selection to HP LaserJet
xxx, it supports only monochrome printing. To get
color printing, select the HP DeskJet 1600 series.
Turn the printer offline with the Online button and
press the FF/Cont button. Data has been sent to the
printer but the printer did not receive a Page Eject
command; print screens do not send this command.
This was a common problem with database software
and spreadsheet software when not correctly set up.
The data has been sent to the printer but the printer
did not receive the Page Eject command. Turn the
printer offline with the Online button and press the
FF/Cont button to eject the page. Then check with
your software supplier on how to add a Page Eject (or
Form Feed) command to the end of your print job.
Use the remote printer console (RPC) program. Refer
to Quick Setup Guide.
