PSE 13 recognizes printer but will only "print" as .xps

I am trying to print photos using PSE 13 and it shows my printer as an option but after I click "print" it goes straight to the "Save file as" menu and I can save it as an .xps like my printer isn't there. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling all the printer software and the PSE 13 software and it still fails to print.

Hi James,
Did this printer work correctly before ?
To verify whether it is related to the printer ,please plug it in another machine to have a check if it is possible.
Considering it is a USB device ,plug in with another port to have a check or try to update the USB controller driver or reinstall the USB controller driver to have a check.
Please check whether the Event Viewer contains errors or warnings related to this issue .
I found a similar symptom in the HP forum ,the solution in it may be helpful:

PRINTING: Keynote will only print to a certain page # then stops

Just to get this out of the way: iWork '08/Keynote 4.0, Mac OS 10.4.10 and everything has been updated. I also looked for other strings relating but could not find any.
I have a few reports created in Keynote that will only print to a certain page. Each report prints the same page every time, but the page # differs for each report. For instance, one report will print to page 32 out of 64, another to 42 out of 70, etc...
Further, if I select the pages that were missing, they will not print at all.
I have tried different printers, networks and printers. Other programs (Word/Excel) will print in total.
Has anyone heard of this problem/have any advice?
Much thanks,
Matt

HP Office Jet Pro 8610 will not print but will only fax

We have a HP Office Pro Jet 8610 and it worked fine until we hooked it up as a fax machine also on Thursday.
It used to copy, print, scan perfectly but we need a new fax machine so we went out and bought the phone cord and hooked up a fax line and telephone with built in answering to the Office Jet and the fax works , but now it will not print a document from Open Office to the printer because it tries to make a fax cover page.
I have run out of ideas can you please help?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

There are two "printer" drivers on there, to print, choose the "Officejet Pro 8610 Printer" instead of the "Officejet Pro 8610 FAX". You probably set the second one as default when the fax function is added, which is for PC fax. If you use the print function more often than fax, make the non-fax one the default printer.

Certain pages won't print to a Xerox printer but will in print in MSIE

I have Firefox 3.6 on a 64bit win7 PC. When I print certain pages to my Xerox laser printer (for example http://www.dressmakingresearch.com/1930s_under_dress.htm as one of several examples) I get one page, then a blank page, then error PCL5 out of memory. Sounds like some process running amok, the printer has 128 MB and nothing on this page is that big. I can print this page from FF to a HP OfficeJet. I can print it to anything from MSIE. Other PCs printing this page from FF to the same printer have the problem. Some problem with how FF renders it to this one printer driver, but the driver itself is OK? I print with the standard shrink to fit option. What would you suggest I do next to diagnose and fix?
Looking on the page, the various images are in table cells that are narrower than the image. <TD width="100"><IMG width="150"...
If I use Firebug to change the 150 to 99, the page prints. Why would FF be forgiving of this for some printers but not others?

What app are you trying to print with? Not all printing apps will print documents and Pages might be looking for an AirPrint printer.

I cannot print from my iPad. I have the OfficeJet 8500A. The iPad shows it is connected to the printer but will not print.

The printer, HP 8500A, and iPad2 are connected to the network. The iPad shows the printer when I select print from AirPrint. It does not print. Is anyone else having this problem? Has anyone found the fix?

HP Envy4500 Printer. Will only print certain fonts.

Windows 2007
I cannot get the printer to print on common fonts such as aerial or times new roman.
Is there a way to change this or is there a limited number of fonts that work on this printer?

Hi larryhogan100,
I wonder, does this issue occur when you copy? I have a feeling the issue is stemming form the computer and not a limitation of the printer. I would like to recommend you remove the driver from the Printer Server Properties and re-add it. Please use the instructions below.
1. In the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder
2. Choose ‘Print server properties’.
Win XP – With no printer selected, click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.
Windows Vista – With no printer selected, press ‘Alt’ then click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.
Windows 7/8 and 8.1 – Select any printer in the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder and click ‘Print Server properties’ above.
3. Click on the ‘Drivers’ tab at the top of ‘Print server properties’ window
4. Choose the printer you want to uninstall and click ‘Remove’
5. Choose 'Remove driver only'
6. The next screen will give a warning, letting you know that deleting the driver package will remove it from the system. Click ‘Yes’ to say that you are sure you want to do this.
If documents are stuck in the print spooler, you may see an error, cancel any documents pending in the print queue, or try restarting the print spooler, then try to remove the driver from ‘Print server properties’ again. If it still won’t remove the package, restarting the computer and the printer should resolve this ‘in use’ error and allow the driver to be removed.
After the driver is removed, open Start > All Programs > HP folder > Printer folder > HP Setup and Software. If you do not see HP Setup and Software, click on the printer icon and the Setup and Software will open. Here is an image of the screen we are looking for.
Click on 'Connect a new Printer' and follow the on screen instructions.
Please let me know if this resolves the issue, thanks.

Why does my iphone print ok when I am near the printer but will not print from other locations?

Just got a new HP Officejet Pro 8600 and everything works except that I cannot print from my iphone when I am not at home. It works fine when I am near the printer. It doesn't even show my printer when I try to print from a location other than at home.

Hi ADPROP,
The Airprint feature (direct printing from your iPhone) provide print functionality over the local network only.
You may install the HP ePrint Home & Biz app.
By enabling the ePrint feature for your printer, you may add the printer ePrint address within Settings > Manage ePrinters, then you will be able to print remotely through the app.
You may find more information of the app features below:

Why suddenly will Adobe not print a PDF file but will only save as .prn file I cannot print

Why suddenly will Adobe not print a PDF file but will only save as .prn file that my computer will not recognize? This is a new problem never experienced before. I have tried updating all versions of Adobe Reader but still no results.

Turn off the "print to file" option.

I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page, but not all or pages 1-5. Can this be overcome?

I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page only, but not all or pages 1-5. I need to go to the next subsequent page and command to print current page; continuing with this procedure until all pages are printed one at a time. Can this be overcome?

You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.

Check your print dialog box, see if Even Pages Only has gotten selected.

Laserjet 2100 will only print one page at a time.

I recently acquired a second hand Laserjet 2100 Series. Installation was fine but it will only print one page at a time, I have to keep pressing the 'Go' button, which is very frustrating. The manual tells me that it is in 'Manual' mode but not how to change it. Can anyone help, please? O/S Windows 7. Thank you.

This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!

Since updating to the new version the work web page that i use will only print 2 pages even if there are more. I can not get it to print all the pages in the document.

for instance....I have a documents that has 6 pages, I can scroll down and see all the pages but when i hit the print button it will only print 2 pages. I tried to change it in the setting part but there is no feature that allows you to change it.

For many years, Firefox has problems printing when some style rules are used. However, I am not aware of any changes for the worse in Fx4 (at least, until now I wasn't aware of any).
A couple of thoughts:
(1) Is it possible you were using an add-on in Fx3.6 that fixed this problem, but the add-on was disabled during the upgrade because it wasn't compatible? (Sometimes that can be fixed with a little hack.)
(2) Are there any obvious settings differences that could be affecting printing, such as fonts, margins, or shrink-to-fit/percentage?
(3) Does the workaround of selecting the entire page (Ctrl+a) and then choosing Selection under Print range in the Print dialog work? Unfortunately, this can slice through lines and images, but it often works around problems with style rules.
In the interest of saving paper, it often is useful to experiment with a PDF printer driver. If you don't have pdfFactory, you can install a trial version for testing: it lets you view the results without first having to save the file. (If you save with the trial version, there is a footer to that effect.)
(4) Is it an HTML5 problem? You can toggle the HTML5 parser off, but this is a global setting, not site-specific. If you are familiar with about:config, filter on html5 and double click '''html5.parser.enable''' to toggle its value from true to false. This helps for some sites, but has no effect on others.
