HP 1055 cm Plus Plotter will not print Test Page from any port - Vista 64

Hello,
Have a brand new computer with the Vista 64 bit platform and an HP 1055 cm Plus Plotter. I have downloaded the software and drivers from the web, and got it to recognize the plotter. With the plotter as the default, it will not print a test page from any of the ports. I have tried all of the ports multiple times. I must have the wrong driver, or is there another problem I am missing?
Please help, and help quickly, my idiotic boss keeps hounding me and making the most ridiculous suggestions "try turning it on and off again" "Why do you even need a driver, just print it", etc. etc. HELP!

Officejet Pro 8000 A809 suddenly not working. Will not print test page.

Plugs secure, on light illuminated. Paper feeds blank once, then mangles. Paper feed button not responsive.
Win 7 indicates "printing" when print command is sent, but zero response from printer. "Y" color light is flashing and has for a while, but it has always worked until now.
Complete reboot tried, not helpful.

Hi samsquared,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I have read your post on the dimishing print quality of the blue cartridge, and I would be more than happy to be of assistance!
In addition to faded colour, what does the quality look like on Test Pattern 3? Are there white or black lines going horizontal through the gray bars?
Since you have already performed two printhead cleanings with diminishing results, I would recommend replacing your magenta/cyan printhead. This step can be found in the Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues document under "step 3" of "Solution 4."
If replacing the printhead does not resolve your issue, please call our technical support at 1-800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

HP 6500A Plus will not print black only if any color cartridges are low. It used to. Why not now?

HP 6500A Plus will not print black only if any color cartridges are low. It used to. Why not now? It will print in color if the black is low but not if any color is low. This is very annoying. Printer is using HP cartridges too.

Get used to this with HP printers - its a new feature they have introduced to keep running costs lows - works well. Had two HP printers same happened with both of these. Suggest a different brand - they might not have this special feature

Can print test pages from embedded web server., put not from windows

Hello,
I have a P1102w that worked perfectly through the last 5 month.
Two days ago it stopped printing anything for some reason. What happen is, when I print something, it spools, but then I get Error-Printing under the status when I double click the printer icon in the "devices and printers" manager of windows 7.
Right now I can see the printer in Ad Hoc. I can load the embedded web server,. And I can print test pages from the embedded web server.
However, if I tried to print test pages using the printer icon in "devices and printers" manager".. it doesnt print!
If I go to Devices and Printers -> Properties -> Advanced -> "Print directly to printer" -> Apply
I got an error box: "Printer settings could not be saved. Operation could not be completed (error 0x0000070c)."
The printer works fine when connected to other laptops (with exactly the same driver/setting)..
This problem is driving me crazy !
Thank you in advance for your help

Hi m-rasheed,
An ad-hoc connections is much more unstable than an infrustructure network using a router. At this point i would suggest getting a wireless router, and then connect the printer to your network through the router.

HP Envy 5660 Will Not Print in Color from Desktop

I have a new Envy 5660 e all in one printer. Prints in color from my I phone and I pad but will only print in black from desktop running OSX 10.6.8. No error messages just will not print color from my Mac.

Hello @zeitman , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you're having issues printing color. I would like to try and assist.
Due to system limitations, the printer requires a minimum of 10.7 to be installed. You can, however, download and install the Mac print software relating to HP. This should allow you to have functionality:
HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

HP 5520 all-in-one will not print alignment page

Printer printed page as if there was no black ink. Replaced cartridge and tried to align but would not print a proper alignment page. Replaced all cartridges.Page it prints is not recognized in scan. I have tried everything. UnPlugging, reload paper, new driver, new install, I need to print tax info and the **bleep** thing will not align, will not copy, will not print. Help

The post here has links to a troubleshooting document for the Photosmart 5520. If the steps there do not resolve the issue please call HP Support, even if the printer is not longer under warranty. In the US or Canada call 1-800-HPINVENt, elsewhere see the document here for contact information.

HP photosmart all-in-one C4580 will only print test page

this C4580 has been installed wirelessly on my Toshiba notebook and my Hp desktop and my husband's Toshiba notebook for over a year. We move the printer across the room to a different electrical outlet (no extension cord...directly into wall plug). It will print beautifully from HP desktop and husband's notebook. Will not print from my notebook. Tried uninstalling printer on my notebook and reinstalling (I have done this 3 times so far). After re-installation, the test page prints perfectly but any further attempt to print a page or a document goes nowhere. The devices and printers display shows the printer as ready and with no documents in queue. Anyone know what I should do next? POI: the 2 notebooks are windows 7 and the desktop is XPPRO

Hi I hope you are doing well and very sorry to learn that you are having this issue
If you still having this problem I will do my best to help you.
Please go here and select the operating system to get latest firmware for printer.

HP Photosmart Plus B209 - will not print photos - tray is not picking up the paper

The printer will not grab the photo paper when I attempt to print a picture. It works just fine when printing other things, such as text from WORD or something from the internet. Photo paper says "single sheet feed" on it, so I place one sheet in the tray.
Any ideas? Am I doing something incorrectly? Thanks

Hi hgr7,
I understand that you are having an issue with the photo tray picking up the paper. I will try my best to help you with this problem. In this document for The All-in-One Does Not Pick Up or Feed Paper From the Photo Tray there are several steps to resolve this issue.
I hope this helps, let me know.

Hp officejet pro 8500 will not print alignment page

Hi, I saw that others on this thread where having similar problems and I was wondering if anyone could help.
I have been having trouble with my HP Office Jet Pro 8500 Wireless (A909g series) printer with the print heads. Initially, it stopped printing in blue so I followed all of the steps for cleaning the print head ect. At one point I had removed the print head and reinserted it and at that point, I started to get the "alignmnet failed" message. I just purchased a new M/B print head, and while it now prints in blue when a test page is printed, I still get an alignment failure notice when it tries to align the print head. In addition, it does not print the full alignment page, only the top colored lines. While I can print, it always runs an alignment afterwards, again failing. I would apprecaite any help you could provide. This printer has been great until now, and I do not want to waste anymore ink trying to print and it failing the alignment everytime. I am running Windows 7 professional. Thank you.

Hello , Welcome to the thread! I understand that your HP Officejet Pro 8500 All-in-One A909a Printer is experiencing Printhead and Alignment failures. Because you have already replaced both the Cyan and Magenta Printhead (twice) and Black and Yellow Printhead in the past and the issues continue to occur over time I believe that the Printhead sensor or print system within the actual printer is going. Should this occur then print system issues, such as Alignment, Printhead, cartridge, quality, etc issues will occur and will usually become worse over time. Therefore, rather then replacing the Printheads it may be time to replace the actual printer. With that being said, there are a few troubleshooting steps that I would like you to complete to resolve this issue. To start, please click here . Once the support document opens please review all of the listed Solutions and sub-steps to ensure that all steps have been completed. Should the issue persist, then a Firmware Update may be needed on your printer. However, I do need to know what Operating System you're using on your computer in order to provide you with the correct Firmware Update. The Firmware is the internal programming within your printer. It controls what your printer does and how your printer does it. If there is a corruption within the internal programming in your machine, your HP Officejet may not respond correctly. Please respond to this post with the result of your Alignment Failed troubleshooting. Should the issue persist, be sure to include your Operating System in your response so I can provide you with the additional Firmware Update. I look forward to hearing from you!

Newly Installed HP desk jet 2510 all in one printer will not print web pages

Hello;
I have just now installed my new 2510 desk jet printer and installed all software.
It prints saved docs fins, but when I try and print web docs from the "print view " screen, it does not print. I have tried this a few times now.
Any suggestions?

Will not print web pages or show them on print preview since upgraded to ver 4.0

when I try to print or click print preview I see a blank screen or just the first line at the top. When I click print I get a blank page.

I ran into same problem when I could not clear the print queue of my neighbor's Photosmart C5580 and had to reinstall the HP softwares. This happened serveral times when he printed email pages which contained embedded content. The problem started after he installed IE9. Reverting back to IE8 "fixed" the problem; that is the problem does not occur with IE8. Also, found out from colleague that Norton support recomends uninstalling IE9 in these situations.

Laserjet 4L, win 7, will only print test page(s)

When I try to print anything else, I get an error, with no particular message. The documents will just remain in the queue until I delete them. Right after installing, when I would try to print a doc, I would get an error message with options to troubleshoot . That error message said something about the printer being shared. It is not, so I changed that setting. Now when I try to print , the document will remain in the queue with a ! under status. When I try to print manually by pressing the button on the printer, I only get test pages. Also, when I open up printers/devices, there is a ! inside of a yellow caution triangle on the picture of the printer. Any ideas?
Edit: I found a suggestion to hold the button for 5 secs to reset printer. I did it, and the ! in the caution sign is now a green check mark. But, still get an error message in print queue.
