HP AIO 900 series printer issues...

I can get it to print using the gimp driver included in the system when I got my computer. I'm using a USB cable with no windows computer involved. However more advanced features such as selecting paper i.e. glossy, flat etc... were not available. I downloaded new drivers from the HP website and thought that would correct my problem and that seemed to do the trick. It gave me all the options I wanted and more. Options for Photos with sizes AND paper choices. However it would no longer allow me to print... It just sat there. It never said why, never gave an error. I restored the original function but it just gave me sad picture quality copies. This printer always made wonderful photos but not with computer...I wonder if anyone has any luck or recommendations for a good wireless networked photo printer for a Tiger? I would appreciate any and all input.
Macbook Pro Tiger Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2.16mhz, 1g memory

Is the printer on a wireless print server?
If so, only a CUPS driver like Gimp-Print or hpijs/ESP ghostscript will ever work.

How do I print from my iPad 2 to my Lexmark 900 series printer?

How do I print from my Ipad2 to my Lexmark 900 series printer?

The Lexmark Pro900 Series is not AirPrint compatible but you can use the LexPrint app to print from an iOS device. You would also need to install the LexPrint Listener to a host computer which will serve as a bridge for your printer and iOS device. Just go to http://bit.ly/KY8eCI for more information.

HP 900 Series printer and OS 10.4

I am having problems trying to print on my series 900 HP printers.
When I press print it starts and then stops printing. I then have to press start printing again for it to finish. In the process it wastes a couple of pages of paper.
This started when I Upgraded to OS 10.4. Is any one else having this problem? I have been working with HP but with no success.

David, Welcome, As you have probably already fiqured, often when you update and or upgrade for some unknown reason it affects print drivers as well as other things..
This may be old hat but just as a reminder..
Be sure you have the correct drivers from HP's site, in the Applications folder and or your HP's set up utility.
If by chance you still have a problem try these...

Constant Printing Restart on a networked HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909N Series printer

Hello,
I'm curious if anyone has run into this problem before. I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909n Series printer that I have setup as a network printer. This has been accomplished through a print server.
I installed the printer's drivers based upon the cd that came with the printer, in the box.
The problem is that whenever a user prints, say it's a simply one page document... the printer will repeatedly print that single page until it runs out of paper. I have stopped/restarted the print spooler. I've rebooted the printer and the print server. I have deleted the drivers and readded them. I've tried installing drivers from HP's website and then installing those. I have attempted to delete the printer from the server and start from scratch.
When I monitor the print queue, I can see the service restart after each document prints. I can't figure out how to get this to stop.
Does anyone have a suggestion; or has anyone run into this problem? I'm not sure which forum to put this in. I chose the Networks/Wireless forum, even though this is running on a wired network with wireless disabled.
I certainly appreciate any asistance.
-Craig

It ended up being an issue with the port. I had used the same port as the last HP printer that I replaced. This printer needs to run on a TCP/IP port, and not an HP port.
Problem solved.
Oh, and it was wired, with wireless disabled.

I have an hp photosmart c7280 all-in-one series printer won't print. error message, system problem

I have an HP Photosmart All-in-One C7280 series printer/fax/copier/scanner. I have been having issues with printing for the past few weeks. It is a wireless printer, with a jack into the wall (for fax) and it is plugged into a power source. I never used to have issues with it before, but recently, it won't print when I send a document to it to print. It will print its configuration pages, reports, etc if I select them from the Printer's menu but not when I send a doc to it to print. First it was saying it was offline, but I figured out how to override that by operating as an administrator and selecting "Use Printer Online" from the dropdown menu when I right clicked on the printer from the control panel. But now it says "Error: Printer failed to print document. System error".
Noooo clue what to do now. This is the only color printer we have so we kind of need it to work. We bought this printer off the shelf at a office store (before I started working here) and so we don't have any designated technichians to work on it. I asked the guy who services our Image Runner Copier to look at it but he had no clue what was wrong with it. Hopefully someone can help?

goestherain,
I need to know what operating system you are using to helps narrow troubleshooting a bit, what OS are you running?

Problems printing from Google Chrome browser using my HP Officejet 6500 E709n Series printer

Dear Sir or Madam:
I am using Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3 desktop computer.
I have a HP Officejet 6500 E709n Series printer.
I am encountering some problems printing from my Google Chrome browser in my Outlook.com account because when I try to change some settings in the print dialog interface the printout comes out incorrectly.
Below are the 2 snapshots of the print dialog interface of Google Chrome browser before printing an email message from my Outlook.com account.
Are there any software updates to correct this problem?
Please reply back soon.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Etow

Welcome to the forums Etow,
I saw your post about the issue you are having with printing from Google Chrome. Have you tried disabling your pop up blocker to see if that will help? Also see this guide about Printing with Chrome.
If the above does not help, try using Firefox or Internet Explorer to print.
Have a great Friday

My Photosmart D110 series printer prints random documents all on its own

I turned on the my Photosmart D110 series printer after being away for a few days and discovered that it was halfway through installing an update that I hadn't ordered. I quickly aborted this process, but not before the printer began relentlessly printing random documents from my files; as soon as I cancelled, it began printing another. The print queue is empty. I uninstalled and reinstalled. I downloaded and ran the HP Print Doctor, which says all is OK. I unplugged and unplugged some more. And it still does it. My operating system is XP 2002 (yes, I know, I know...). Do I need to throw in the towel and get a new printer?

missnan,
The printer will only print what the PC sends to it, so I would look more into your pc than the printer. What you might try to do is uninstall the printer and re-install, but keep in mind that the pc is sending those print jobs to the printer. Are you sure that the printer is printing files from your PC, this printer does have apps and it can be set up to print those on a daily basis.

HP D1520 Series printer test page hangs on connected windows XP or win 7 PC

I am new to the Mac world but have been using iPad and PC for a some time. I have installed a HP D1520 Series printer to my Win 7 laptop. I then connected my recently acquired 2008 MacBook pro to the recognized printer with my fresh install of Mt lion. When I send a test page it goes through its pre print routine but does not complete print job. If i connect the printer directly to Mac it works fine. My specific questions are as follows.
1. Is this likely a driver issue with Mt Lion?
2. Can I work around this issue with a Airport Express or Extreme or will I likely in counter same driver issues?
3. If I use wireless express or airport option does it matter if it's a/b/g/ or n?
Bottom line I want to be able to access my printer with of iPad, Mac, or Win 7 laptop.

Yes USB only printer
Device holding it? It is pluged in to my win 7 Laptop and Mac is connected through a Network Share to that printer so connection is not the propblem. I also set up file shares with no problems. Since my printer is not hooked up with a Mac or Airport device Bonjour does not reconize my printer. My print job hangs hangs in the middle of request making me think it is a driver issue that has not been resolved.
By wireless protocol I guess you mean it does not matter if router is a/b/g or n
Other than checking for software updates, is there another way to update a driver like on a win 7 machine.
thanks for your help.....

Print issue with eprint and iPad mini

Eprint has stopped working on my iPad mini. It used to work fine. It says, "Photosmart C6200 series doesn't support this file type". Yet, I can print the same file from my iphone 5 s with no problem. I tried deleting and reinstalling. It didn't help. The printer is WiFi.

Hi Jan14,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I understand that you are getting an error message on your iPad when trying to send a print job to your Photosmart C6200 series printer using ePrint.
Please follow the steps in the section titled “What if a 'No AirPrint Printers Found' message displays on my Apple device?” from the Printing Over a Wireless Network with Apple's AirPrint FAQ document. For the step where you are asked to turn the iPad off, please reset your iPad instead using the steps in Apple’s Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset document. This should allow you to print using ePrint again.
Regards,

Label printing issues in Sapscript

We are struggling with building a new label for a finished good. On previous labels we used barcode BC_CD39. This new label requires a mix of same barcode and 2D barcode. One of the issues is BC_CD39 is it is too big at 13mm. So we want to use CD39__00 which is 5mm. We have gone into SPAD and SE73 and we think we have this set up to work on the two printers involved. We have also followed instructions for 2D in 197177 for adding new small font. We also have a logo for printing. When I print the printout does not have the smaller barcode, any text in smaller font and the logo is missing. I went into the spooler yesterday and these prints are getting an error (unknown print control should be output) that is talked about in note 17559. And when I look at the print preview I have a logo and different size fonts and smaller barcodes showing- basically all the stuff that is missing from the actual print. Has anyone else run into this and how have you resolved this? I am not sure what the spooler does not like. We are using a Printronix T5000e series printer.
The spooler error reads: character converter active when first problem occurred
Data was saved with character set 1100
Data will be converted to character set 9010 (synt = 9010)
and then it gives the OTF error mentioned above.
Our latest attempt is downloading tru fonts and getting them into the printer. Still no success and now the labels are not even printing.
Thanks for any help.
Susan

We continue with not being able to print this label correctly. If I do a screen shot I can see I have varying fonts on the label. But it completely ignores the various fonts on printing.
Our pirnter is a Printronix label printer.
My form is defined as landscape.
I get a spool error when printing that character set 1100 is being converted to character set 9010, which is custom for Printronix.
If we print on legal form vs the label form it prints fine.
We have tried different print drivers but nothng seems to get these fonts out.
We are using 5MM 3by9 barcodes.
This product is about to 'go live' and we really want to print this from SAP vs an external label software program. If we use an external label program separate from SAP it can print perfectly on same label printer.
We welcome any suggestions.
Susan

Envelope printing issues

I was trying to print an envelope with my new HP printer using Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac. When I press on print, the entire envelope is printed in black ink, covering the entire face of the envelope.
I checked the settings for the size envelope (#10). I also uninstalled the printer software and downloaded and re-installed the printer software, but the problem still exist.
Is there an compatibility issue with Yosemite 10.10.3?
What could be the problem?

Hello @Blackjack2359, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you're having envelope print issues. I'd like to assist!
I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
I would also suggest running your Apple updates: OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the HP Officejet Pro 8610 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and drivers.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Help with crazy printer issue? ;)

Hi All!
My printer is about 2.5 years old and just a few days ago started acting crazy. It seemed to have started when we had a client try and send a fax and it never came across. There was an error message that kept coming up... something like "wrong size paper selected?", although the fax was a standard size that fax never came through. We since had friends send faxes and they do come through. But after that.....
Then it started taking a long time to communicate between our computers and the printer. Typically it has printed immediately when we hit the print command. now it takes several minutes..... Like it's tired and thinking a lot and confused. (a lot like me these days, interestingly - must be another forum however ) Anyway we turned it off with the power button on the front of the machine as we have often done, and a message came on that said something like "this machine was not properly powered down, use the power button - which we had. At one point when it was trying to print the fax (which was not two sided) it started to pull a paper out that had just printed and pull it back into the machine. I've never used the two sided feature but figured, oh that's interesting....but not helpful.
I hate to buy a new printer this one is only 2.5 years old. Out of warranty but really? Can't it be fixed? I think we had a PGE power outage over the weekend before the fax came through maybe the power outage impacted it? Is anything going on astrologically that I should know about? (this is a joke and I know another forum) We have four computers that are networked and all 4 computers have the same long delay when printing.
HELP. thank you.
Madison

Hi @madisondelaney I Googled astrological signs hoping to find a solution, but I quickly got confused and thought maybe I would stick with what I know!
You said you had a PGE power outage over the weekend, is your printer connected with a USB cable or is it setup wirelessly? I know you said the computers are all networked, I just wonder what connection type you use for the printer. Also, what printer model do you have? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Do you currently have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet, or is it in a surge protector or power bar? If you are currently using a surge protector/power bar all this time and you feel it is not the cause, please connect it to a wall outlet just so we can eliminate the power source as the root cause. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector
In this document you will see, ISSUE: Problems or issues may arise when an HP LaserJet series printer is connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), a power strip, or a surge protector
^ This is not limited to Laserjet printers.
I look forward to hearing from you, and working towards a solution!
