Solved: How to print on transparency Laserjet pro mfp m130nw - HP Support Community

Tj500 · ‎12-19-2019

I can’t find the option to print on transparencies in the printer options.

When I try to print on transparency using the plain paper and vellum options I get two grooves down the sheet. It basically makes the page look like it is sectioned into thirds.

If you look at the specs for the M130 HP does not list support for transparency or opqaue film.

Compared to the M577 that does list support for film and transparency

You could play around with the settings for paper type and see if you can find one that provides adequate bonding, but this device is just not designed for that application.

What is your printer ? You have to install printer software and driver to your computer and PLEASE note: you have to use transparency for Laserjet printers because normal transparency would be melted down due to Laserjet printers are hotter.

My printer is an HP Laserjet pro mfp m130nw and I’m using laser transparencies. I have the software installed and there is no option to print transparencies.
