    Windows 8/8.1: Printer Offline Problems
    Are you getting an error that your network or wireless printer is offline when you try to print?
    When you print to your network printer, does it fail, and when you check the printer status it says Offline?
    Do you have problems printing to your wireless printer after your PC has been asleep?
    If you answered YES to any of the above questions, then you have a problem with your network printer being offline.  After some investigation into this problem, we recommend updating windows.  Run Windows update to check that your version of Windows 8 is up to date.
    There are a few windows updates that may help with this problem
    1)    Install this Microsoft patch to make sure this private-public-private network issue does not reoccur. It is part of the April 2014 Windows Update package for Windows 8.1 and Server2012 R2 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2919355).
    2)      Install this Microsoft patch for the WSD service.  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3000461
    If this does not help, then please follow the steps list below which will give you a Workaround that may help with this problem.
    Assign the printer a static IP address
    An IP address is an Internet network address that the computer can use to communicate with the printer. Enter a static IP address to make sure that the wireless connection remains stable. Follow these steps to assign the printer a static IP address.
    Get the printer IP address.
    Press the Wireless button on the printer control panel to view the network settings.
    Access the Network menu on the printer control panel.
    Print a Network Configuration Page or Wireless Test Report page.
    Once you have the printer's IP address, open a new web browser window or tab.
    Type the IP address in your web browser's address bar, and then press Enter.
    Make sure that you type the IP address into the browser's address box. If you type it into a tool bar search box, the EWS will not open.
    If the message 'There is a problem with this website's security certificate' appears in the web browser when you try to open the embedded web server (EWS), or when you navigate within the EWS, click ' Continue to this website (not recommended)'.
     note:
    Choosing 'Continue to this website (not recommended)' will not harm your computer while you navigate within the EWS for your printer. If you encounter this error outside of your printer's EWS, your computer could be at risk.
    If the browser fails to open the EWS after you click 'Continue to this website (not recommended)', refresh the browser window.
    The Embedded Web Server (EWS) for the printer opens and confirms that the printer is on the same network as the computer.
    In the EWS, click the Network tab.
    In the Wireless section, click the Network Address (IP) or IPv6 configuration, depending on your network setup.
    Click Manual IP, and then click Suggest a Manual IP Address. A manual IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway displays.
    After the manual IP address populates, click Manual DNS Server.
     note:
    Keep a record of the manual IP address for reference.
    On the Network Configuration Page you printed earlier, locate the DNS Server addresses, type the DNS addresses in the Manual Preferred DNS Server and Manual Alternate DNS Server fields, and then click Apply.
    If the DNS addresses are not listed on the Network Configuration Page, or if you have trouble accessing the network or Internet with the original DNS addresses, use one of the following methods to obtain DNS addresses.
    Method one: Use publicly available DNS server addresses
    Configure the printer using publicly available DNS server addresses. To find available DNS server addresses, search online for 'public DNS servers'.
    After you find public DNS server addresses, type the addresses in the Manual Preferred DNS Server and Manual Alternate DNS Server fields, and then click Apply.
    Method two: Get the network DNS information via your computer
    Select your operating system, and then use the following directions to obtain the DNS server addresses.
    Right-click the Start button () or the lower left corner of the screen, click Run, type cmd, and then press Enter.
    When the command window opens, type ipconfig /all, and then press Enter. Information about the computer's network displays.
    Scroll to and locate the DNS Server addresses.
    In the EWS, type the DNS addresses in the Manual Preferred DNS Server and Manual Alternate DNS Server fields, and then click Apply.
    Print a test page to make sure that the printer's IP address is the same as you assigned.
    Right-click the Start button () or the lower left corner of the screen, click Search, type HP and click your printer in the results. Click Utilities, and then click Update IP address to update the address in the software.
    Adding a Wireless Network Printer using Control Panel
    Go to Control Panel and choose Devices and Printers
    Click on Add Printer
    The PC will search the local network and display the network printers.
    Choose the printer and select Next
    The system will then try and auto select a compatible driver
    Select the current driver and Click Next
    The system will then ask for a name for the printer. The user can change the name and then click Next
    The User can then choose to share the printer
    The user can select to make this new printer the default and then click Finish.
    The new printer is now setup but this printer may be using the In OS driver (Class) rather than the HP Full Function driver.
    To change the printer to use the HP Full Function driver follow the following instructions. I would recommend changing the driver to the HP Full Function driver as the User can then use features such as Custom paper sizes.
    Go back into Control Panel and choose devices and Printers, right click on the newly created printer and choose Printer Properties
    Choose the Advanced Tab
    Click on the driver section drop down and choose the Driver for the printer that does not have the words Class driver after it.
    Click apply and then OK and the driver will be changed to the HP Full Function driver for the printer.
    The user should try this configuration and see if they still experience problems.
    Please Note:
    DO NOT Remove the Original Printer Icon from Devices and Printers as the HP Printer Assistant will stop working.

    I work for HP

    I have the printer offline problem. It started when I ran out of toner. I have now installed a new toner cartridge.
    Your solution does not help me because I have tried to install Win8.1 and it failed.
    I would just reinstall my printer but I have a long list of items in my print queque and I don't want to lose them.
    Is there another solution? 
    Or is there a way I can save the print queue?

  • Printing Booklet, problem with gutter

    I'm trying to print a 16 page PDF document from Acrobat Pro X as a booklet using the Manual Duplex workflow (Print front side, rotate printed pages and reinsert in printer, print backside in reverse order).
    The original document is an InDesign 3.5" x 5.5" portrait. I am printing to letter sized paper, and want to end up with a 3.5" x 5.5" booklet when it is trimmed.
    The finished printed pages are imposed correctly and I can fold my stack into a single-fold booklet and leaf through pages in order from front to back.
    The problem is the pages do not butt at the gutter but are separated by a good inch and a half.
    How do I get the pages to touch at the fold line?

    Here is a followup to my original post:
    Here is a link to a screen capture showing the Print dialog box.
    Notice in the small thumbnail view of the spread that both pages are a considerable distance apart.
    The actual distance should be a quarter of that.
    http://www.margnat.com/tech/ManualDuplex.1.png
    I have successfully created and printed manual duplex documents in the past where the pages print side-by-side, touching at the fold, so I’m puzzled as to what I did differently here. Might I have set something up in InDesign when I exported as PDF that might effect this?

  • Print driver problem with OS 10.4.6

    I recently installed 10.4.6 and ever since have been unable to print via a network on a Lexmark Optra T614 (duplex). All was working fine until the upgrade to 10.4.6. I have downloaded a driver from Lexmark's website and successfully installed it to my system via the wizard - message was "you have successfully installed . . . ". However cannot find it to install through the Print Centre. I am running it through a router shared with a PC (Windows 2000). No problems at the Pc end. As I said prior to purchasing 10.4.6 all was working fine. I have tried to set up to print through the local network via the PC - without success. At one point (not sure what I did) actually got the Mac talking to the printer. The lights were activated and it made a few attempts but then cancelled out. I then tried something else and it didn't work, so now I am back to where I was when I started. Can you help with this one Greg? regards Ian

    Hi Greg, Still no answer to my printing problem.
    The Optra T driver is probably right.
    I trashed the drivers and did a fresh download and reinsatlled. It is an Optra T driver.
    Since you can't print using generic postscript, I don't think you
    have a driver problem. If the printer supports LPD or
    IPP, you probably need to enter a device queue name
    in Printer Setup. (No queue name for HP Jetdirect
    protocol) L1, P1, LPT1, and print are common queue names
    I have set up so that Printer Name is 192.168.0.200. This automatically selected Lexmark Optra T. Also the queue name appeared as 192_168_0200-1. Host name was blank and Driver Version 10.4 and PPD File Version is 10.4.3.3.0. I tried to print the Print box showed Preparing . . then Processing Page 1 and dissapeared in the normal manner. I opened the Printer Monitor (in the dock) and it showed the job in the queue as it should and the Status showed: printing. The blue bar scrolls and the message Connected to 192.168.0.200 comes up. The printer shows no sign of receiving the file. I have done this numerous times. I have also keyed in the computer name in the location and still no go - just the same outcome. The computer name is ian-brownlees-computer.local.
    Look in the printer manual or google for it.
    Unfortunately I don't have a manual but have been trying to locate one.
    Any further clues??

  • Two sided printing manually on 2540

    (mod added link: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/two-sided-printing-manually-on-2540/td...)
    Hello! I'm writing from Italy (there isn't an official forum in my language) I'm having the same problem but I can't solve because the links you osted before now works only for windows 7 or 8 but I still have XP... what can I do?
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi @Enrica76,
    Thank you for your response.
    When you insert the printed sheets into the printer, the steps in the How-To document have you restarting the print job from the computer. Just to make sure I’m understanding your post correctly, are you indicating that you restart the job from the computer and then nothing happens?
    Thank you.

  • How to get printed manuals with upgrade to FCP from Motion?

    I upgraded my standalone version of Motion to FCP 5.1 Universal through the mail and wondering how I can get the printed manuals. I realize it's not practical for Apple to mail 40 pounds of books and that the same text is probably on one of the DVDs but reading a physical book makes learning easier than reading on screen.
    Has anyone been able to upgrade from Motion to FCP and get the printed books?
    Thanks,
    DAN
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    David,
    Apple provides manuals with most of it's software. I KNOW THIS OCCURS FOR A FACT! Thanks for posting your doubts and other notes but I don't think they are really being crafted towards helping at this point.
    I was actually hoping others might have found solutions rather than looking for salt to rub into the wound. But to help you and the others you have spoken with to understand possible solutions I'm hoping might remedy the problem here are a few that suggestions:
    - Call Apple Customer Support and get them to exchange the misrepresented product through the mail for what was represented.
    - Walking into the Apple store and confronting the sales people with the issue and getting them to exchange the product.
    - Working through Consumer Affairs and getting them to eiother refund or exchange the product.
    - Calling a local TV station to report the fact that Apple shows one product on their web site and in their stores while selling something different with a the same name that is incomplete.
    - Working through the Better Business Bureau to file a complaint against Apple for the misrepresentation and getting them to replace the product for the abused customers.
    - Emailing the support folks at Apple and getting a emailed voucher in return which will allow users to exchange the product int stores.
    I can think of dozens of ways Apple or other organizations could help resolve the situation.
    Printing a color manual at Kinko's seems like a ridiculous expense to me. I cannot afford it and I appreciate you not consistently saying it's a viable solution. I'm actually a bit surprised that you keep responding with no help, confusing unrelated comments, and insist on further irritating the situation.
    I hope my multiple attempts to help you understand what my issue is and possible solutions that people might offer has helped clarified things for you. If you have any further comments though please reserve them so others who may have had actual experiences similar to mine with possible solutions might be able to read this thread without having to see me explaining things over and over.
    Thanks,

  • Print Cartridge problem : [Tri Color]

    I have HP officejet 4500. On installing the new cartridge, I get error message "Print Cartridge problem : [Tri Color]. Refer to device documentation for troubleshoot." I have run diagnostic test 41 and it shows Previous error as "Pen in left chute has too many good resistors, probably means shorted fires". Can somebody help me what does this error means?  

    Hello, I see by your post that you are getting the message "Print Cartridge problem : [Tri Color]. Refer to device documentation for troubleshoot." I can help you with this.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation. I have provided a document with some steps to try to see if that will resolve the issue. Manually cleaning the cartridges and contacts and resetting the printer.'Incorrect Print Cartridge' or 'Print Cartridge Problem' Message Displays on the Computer. Are you using Genuine HP Cartridges?
    What are the ink levels? If you need further assistance, just let me know. Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • LE 7 printed manual?

    Does LE 7 have a printed manual? If so, Is it any good? Will I still need to get the Apple Training Series Book?

    Yes, this used to be a problem with Logic - the note sounding at the beginning of a song - but it has been corrected in 7.1. I don't know what version the demo is, but i doubt it has been updated... It's about clearing the RAM I think... As for the cycle: this can happen when you didn't mean to. If you click by mistake in the bit above the bar ruler, it will automatically engage cycle. I sometimes used to do this too, and the solution is to make the bar ruler bigger by dragging on the corner of the transport section to make it bigger. That way it is easier to hit the ruler.
    It is harder to mute or solo more than one track at a time in Express that it is in Pro. In Pro, you can apply groups, but I don't think you can in express. Please somebody correct me if I am wrong about this - I too would like to know a better way of group soloing.
    Changing the volume of the metronome is done by click holding on the metronome button in the transport section, and a popup menu will offer you recording or metronome. Click metronome, and there are all of its settings. Hope this helps, Fred

  • Print Quality problems

    My print quality for Reds & Greens is coming out streaked. The blacks and blues are fine. I use HP ink cartridges anad keep them cleaned and aligned. But on the Alignment page the reds & greens are streaked and cannot be cognized. Could this be a print head problem ?

  • Print quality problems on Fuji Xerox printers when printing from ArchiCAD and/or Preview.

    Hello,
    We experience major print quality problems when printing directly from Graphisoft's ArchiCAD, Nemetscheks Vectorworks and from Apple's Preview.
    Basically we see various artefacts on our printed drawings, e.g. line thicknesses change and hatched patterns / fills are reproduced with patches where the lineweights and clours change completely... which is not acceptable.
    This affects the following Fuji Xerox printer models on both 10.6.x and 10.7.x with the latest FJX PPDs:
    ApeosPort C5540I
    Xerox LF6605 MF
    The workarounds for us are to either print PDFs from Adobe Acrobat Reader or via the rather dated Accxess Tools, besides that we prefer at times to print directly from a given Software it is also not always possible to generate a PDF and print it from Acrobat Reader... especially since the latest Adobe Reader update to its print dialogue makes printing from it extremely tedious - in fact we are considering going back to 9.5.2
    Obviously, we have approached FJX Tech Support and are awaiting a reply - however we are disappointed that this is happening on relatively new equipment and wonder if anybody else has already found a solution.

    The symptoms you mention could be related to the FJX engine and Acrobat is masking this fault. To test, you can create a Postscript file from the print dialog of ArchiCAD or VectorWorks and then download this to the Apeos RIP. If this produces the same result as when using the printer driver from the applications, then it would indicate that the engine is not capable of handling the data being sent to it from these applications.

  • Print Cartridge Problem: Tricolor - HP Officejet J4680 All In One

    I am seriously going to have an anxiety attack. I run a business from home & I HAVE to have a printer. I just spent $50 on new ink cartridges. My printer was working fine for the last week, and then tonight I have this error message:
    Print cartridge problem: [Tri Color] . Refer to device documentation to troubleshoot
    SO I reset the printer, shut it on and off, cleaned the cartridge and the printer, switched out the new cartridge with the old one ~ same problem. Over and over.
    I called HP and they said that since my printer is out of warranty they can't help me unless I purchase a new warranty plan. What horrible customer service. This printer is a product of HP and I should be able to get help regardless of when the warranty expired.
    This is so frustrating. If I can't get help, I think I would rather buy a new printer of a different brand instead of paying for a warranty after I just spent 50 bucks on ink. GRRR!

    The page here has troubleshooting steps that may resolve your issue.

  • Windows 7 - HP Laserjet 8500 print driver problem

    I have tried everything imaginable to correct this HP 8500n print driver problem with no success, please help!
    I cannot correct or get rid of a reoccurring “Incompatible Print Settings” error dialog box message that repeatedly states that “There are one or more conflicting settings. One of the settings is: Output Bin: Mailbox 1, Accessory Output Bin: Not Installed”. The radio button options are “Restore my previous settings or Keep this setting, and I will change it later”. This same dialog message repeats 13 times for all the other various conflicts each time you click on printer properties to change to 2 sided printing or any other printer settings. This printer does not have any of these features attached or set into it.
    I am a volunteer that manages a number of computers on our small church LAN, 2 computers operating on MS XP-SP3, 2 on MS Windows 7 Home Premium and my 2 problem computers that came pre-installed with Vista Home Premium of which I have performed an HP OEM upgrade to Window 7.
    I have isolated this print driver problem to the Vista operating system and even when computers are upgraded to Windows 7 does not correct this driver error. I have also tried every possible print driver variant of the HP 8500, HP8550, PCL, PS to include the Microsoft versus HP versions with no success. In each case I get this error yet neither of the XP computers or the computers that had Windows 7 as a original operating system have no problems with their print drivers for this printer.
    Yes, I have repeatedly searched and upgraded the operating system and print drivers. In desperation I have even tried to find the correctly behaving Windows 7 print driver and transfer it to these Vista upgraded to Windows 7 machines. However I could not isolate the driver location.
    The only thing I can conclude is that this errant HP print driver was resident within Vista and remains resident even after a HP OEM Windows 7 upgrade. Additionally, all of these computers are configured to access this printer via its static IP address on the network.  The XP computers are 32 bit, all of the Vista upgraded to Win 7 and OEM Win 7 computers are 64 bit machines all with respective OS. 
    Can anyone please help me correct this problem?

    Hi, 
    Unfortunately I can't see your uploaded image yet as it is awaiting approval from HP.
    From what I can see you are correct that HP does supply drivers for this printer and that the drivers for your printer are already included with Windows 7.  On the machines affected, try the procedure below to see if it helps at all
    Next download revo uninstaller on the link below and install it.
    http://www.revouninstaller.com/download-freeware-version.php
    Disconnect the printer from the PC.
    Run Revo and see if it finds any  HP Printer Software installed.  If it does, right click the software icon and select uninstall.  During the process you may be asked to delete registry entries.  If you are, just select all and click delete.  Do the same for any left over files and folders.  Once completed, reboot the PC.
    Re-connect your printer to the PC and follow the guide below.
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?&objectID=c02536257
    If this helps you will need to repeat the process on each of the affected machines.

  • Officejet Pro L7590 Print Quality Problems - Black/Yellow Printhead

    Officejt Pro L7590 All-In-One
    Running on Windows 7 64 bit, USB connected to computer
    Approx 2.5 yrs old; has printed 30,000 pages.
    Issue:  Black/Yellow printhead replaced about 500-1000 pages ago; new unit only tested as "Fair" in diagnostics, even though it was fresh outta the box.  Print Quality good.
    About two weeks ago, printer refused to print, flashing ambler "!", etc., error message regarding black/yellow printhead.
    Ordered replacement ($71 again -- ouch!  Whole printer only cost $199 30 months ago).Again, new unit only "fair" in diagnostic (original Cyan/Magenta printhead still reads as "good"). 
    New printhead required much cleaning and aligning, and now prints with large gaps on a regular basis down the page.  Talked to tech guy @ Staples where i bought it; his only "helpful" suggestion was that most people just toss the printers the first time the printheads go bad.
    Print heads are separately warranted.
    My questions:
    (1)  What else is there that's screwing up my print quality,a nd is it fixable?
    (2)  Can i get my $ back on the two printheads that didn't fix the printer's problems?
