'unable to send print data' on HP Laserjet 1536dnf MFP

Hi there,
I'm running an iMac with OSX 10.6.8. Via an USB cable I have attached a HP Laserjet 1536dnf MFP to the iMac.
I also use this printer to print via wifi (i.e. through the iMac) with my MacBook Pro (with OSX 10.7.3).
Suddenly today the printer stopped working via my MacBook Pro. I get an error message: 'unable to send print data'.
I have checked my antivirus etc., but that does not appear to be the problem. I have also updated the firmware of the printer, without success.
Can somebody help me out? Is the OS difference the problem? But until today that hasn't been a problem.
Thank you very much! Regards, Luc.

Hi jemenake
I understand you lost connection with the network for the Laserjet 1536 through ethernet connection.
Disconnect the routers power cable, wait 10 seconds, then reconnect the power cable. Wait till it's ready. The router might not be finding the printer on the network.
If this doesn't resolve the issue continue to the next steps.
Print a  configuration report from the  LaserJet 1536dnf.
Press the Setup button, (the one with the wrench on it)
reports, press OK, Config Report, press OK.
Check to see if the ip address is valid.
If you have a valid ip address then delete and add the printer on the mac, the driver might have become corrupted.
Delete printer on mac.
Click on the Apple, click System & Preferences,then click the Print & Scan icon (on some systems this may be displayed as Print & Fax),highlight your printer name and click the  button on the bottom left corner of the screen.
Add printer on the mac.
Click on the Apple, click System & Preferences, and then click the Print & Scan icon (on some systems this may be displayed as Print & Fax),click add a printer, then select the printer from the list, make sure the printer listed beside use or print: shows proper printer name and not airprint, (airprint is a preinstalled apple driver with basic funtionality if on 10.8) add it in.
If the ip address is not valid please let me know.

  • Cannot print duplex with hp laserjet 1536dnf mfp

    I am using a HP LaserJet 1536 dnf MFP printer in Windows 8.1 with USB 2 connection.  Cannot print on both sides of sheet because clicking on print properties does not bring up the properties dialog window.  There is a momentary flicker as though it is trying to activate, but no window.  It worked fine until a few days ago and I can't think of any change that might account for this.  Any help with this problem will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi @Marlin1 ,
    I understand that you are having issues duplexing, the printer properties aren't opening to make any changes. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
    You can always restore your computer back to a earlier time when everything was working properly. It may have been from a Windows Update. How to refresh, reset, or restore your PC on Windows 8.
    If you would prefer not to do the System Restore, you can try the following steps provided:
    Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. http://www.hp.com/go/tools>Using HP Diagnostic Tools for HP Printers in Windows.
    Uninstall and reinstall the printer software.

  • Printing problem with hp laserjet 1536dnf MFP

    Printer HP1536dnf
    Operating system    Windows 7 (32 bit)
    Printer has been set up and installed correctly. Problem is when printing  the lcd is showing "printing document" but nothing  happens for a while and I get a PCL XL Error
    Subsystem:   TEXT
    Error:               InternalError 0x50
    File Name:     cheettext.c
    LIne Number: 710
     I have checked all options after going through the hp site including hp diagnostic utility which shows no errors. I have re-installed the printer drivers and have checked if it is offline or paused.

    I would make sure you have lastest fw (i know you probably see this alot) there was an update for this product that addressed some pcl erors such as the cheettext people were reporting seeing. you can do this by going: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=3974279&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us and selecting the OS you are using and getting lastest FW.
    Also if you do see it a powercycle does help reduce the frequency  that you see it ( i know it is not the best solution ) but at least it should help you get what you need printed printed, sometimes it helps to elminate it for some people.

  • [Solved] CUPS: Unable to write print data: Input/output error

    I'm filling this for the benefit of those poor googlers that can reach here.
    Symptoms: After trying to print a "complex" image the printer made too much breaks, and failed.
    The problem is, it then didn't came up. I mean, I restarted the printer, cupsd, the whole system, and nothing.
    I was unable to print again, it showed "Unable to write print data: Input/output error" and refused to print anything.
    I then saw that in /etc/cups I had printers.conf and printers.conf.O files, which differed (other than in StateTime), that printers.conf.O had
    State Idle
    but printers.conf had:
    State Stopped
    StateMessage Unable to write print data: Input/output error
    Reason paused
    Probably due to the ErrorPolicy being stop-printer.
    So seeing I followed the following steps:
    Stop cups
    Replace printers.conf with printers.conf.O (I could also had manually edited it)
    Start cups
    It then went working flawlessly.
    There was probably an option in the web interface combobox for doing that. The problem is that I didn't realise it was stopped, so didn't know how to make it work. Moreover, some posts in the web recommended reinstalling the printer (which would skip the problem by creating a new printer).

    I think that I had this same problem, and fixed it by reinstalling the printer.  Thank you for your post.

  • Sending print data..... Epson printing woes

    Connected to my Macbook Pro 17" (10.6.2) is my relatively (Important bit) Epson R285 printer. The other day it started to refusing printing full stop. I would send a print job, and get the external 'Sending print data....' and that would be it. I thought I was going mad, I reinstalled the drivers, deleted loads of preferences, ran Onyx a few times and nothing.
    At the same time, the 'low ink' light was flashing but like everyone else i just ignored this. I was ready to reinstall the OS and all my apps I was so desperate! I have VMWare Fusion running XP so I thought, worst case I can always print from there. Time to put the new ink in. Since it was a new printer it had those 'test, half-empty/half full cartridges' installed so €45 later, 3 new inks were installed.
    On a whim, I tried printing again from 10.6 and low and behold..... it printed! Now this raises a couple of questions:
    1. Why doesn't the print dialogue be more explicit in this situation: Hey 'I am not going to print unless you top me up' Granted there is a 'low ink' light and icon but not a 'bugger off, I'm not gonna print icon'
    2. Is this Epson forcing the user to buy new ink? I always use to print regardless what ink was missing, invariably I just needed to print and could handle an odd colour. Now, low ink means, 'go buy more ink and I shall print!'
    Anyway, anybody who has similar 'Sending print data...' print issues with an Epson printer, check you ink as it may just solve your printing problems!
    regards, chris

    By any chance are you using the "Gutenprint" driver for your printer? A poster in another thread noted that switching from a Gutenprint driver to a driver from Epson enabled the ink status capability.

  • Sending print data

    HP D1660 is not printing.

    I seem to have the exact same problem on a Canon MX700. It was working fine before the Lion update and now just hangs on "sending print data". The strange thing is that it does print the test page?
    I have deleted and re-mapped the printer a couple of times and even tried installing a new driver!
    Anyone with a solution would be great!

  • HP laserjet 1536dnf MFP keeps Printing

    Hi Admin,
    I currently work as an IT Entry Level Support, and I have a problem with HP laserjet 1536dnf MFP  that I cannot give time to figure out why.
    Here's what I have:
    System: WXP Pro v2002 SP2
    Hardware: HP laserjet 1536dnf MFP
    Device Manager Driver: HP LJ M1530 Series Scan ; Driver Date: Nov 16, 2009
    HP laserjet 1536dnf MFP keeps printing JZJZL() and different Random Garbled characters, I can only print properly if I switch it on and Turn it on again.
    One more question: Is there a way to stop whatever is printing from the HP Toolbox.
    Thank you..
    This question was solved.

    Hi @Claude-Antoine, 
    I understand that the printer is printing garbled print and something keeps printing off from the Toolbox. I can help you with this.
    Most likely the driver is corrupted and you will have to uninstall and reinstall the printer software.
    If you can print the hardware self test page properly, then it would be a software issue.

    I have provided a document with some steps to try to see if that will resolve the issue.

    Here is the link for the newest drivers. HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
    How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet)
    If your networked, do you have a Static IP setup and what kind of router are you using?
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a nice day!

  • HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP will not copy or scan but does print

    My HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP will not copy or scan but does print.  It does not matter if I use the ADF or the glass.  When copying or scanning I get a completey black page.  The light bar does move from one end of the printer glass to the other.  There are no connectivity issues as the printing function and the e-print function work fine.
    Thank you for your help

    Hi @akb3,
    I understand that when you try to scan or copy, you are getting a black page. I can help you with this.
    Please keep the scanner lid open and then press the copy button.
    Check if the scanner bulb glows.
    Check if the scanner moves freely across the glass.
    If it does not try connecting the printer directly to the wall jack and try again.
    Update the printer's firmware if the bulb glows and scanner moves freely. HP LaserJet Pro M1536dnf Multifunction Printer Drivers.

  • Printing slow on HP LaserJet 4100 MFP wired ethernet

    When I try to print to our deparment printer HP LaserJet 4100 MFP - it is extremely slow. Printing a document of 10 pages takes about 20 seconds per page. Our printer has harddisk embedded and around 100 MB Ram.
    I first noticed printing from Pages was slow (printing a MS Word document), but also first printing to PDF and letting Preview print it was slow.
    I am connected to the printer using wired ethernet - and the jetdirect protocol. I am using the latest driver.
    regards,
    Anders

    I have the same problem with a new, firmware updated, HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP. Curiously, two-sided printing works fine with "Paper size: Letter" whereas it fails for "Paper size: A4". For A4 paper size every second page is a mess of stripes.
