My HP Deskjet 2130/2135 printer doesn't print watermarks. I'm trying to print some pdfs which have watermarks on them, i can see the watermarks on preview but when the printout comes there's no watermark.

@Mr_FA, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

This feature is not controlled by the printer. It is the Adobe app that does not allow you to print the watermarks. You will have to purchase the upgraded Adobe Acrobat software to do so.

For now, let s try a workaround. Use an alternative printer driver.

1. Under Devices and Printers right click the 2130 icon and select Printer Properties. From the Ports tab take note of the checked port of the driver and close this dialog (you will need it later).
2. Click on Add Printer, click on "The printer that I want isn't listed".
3. Select a Local Port and press on Next.
4. Select the same port as used by the driver and click on Next.
5. Select HP from the Manufacturer list, select the HP Deskjet 6940 / 6980 and follow the Wizard to add the printer.

Within the Effects tab, you may add a watermark.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
