6500A Plus print jobs sit in tray, and do not print for extended periods

Printer is connected to two computers wireless and has been working fine. Recently began just sitting there after you click on print. Icon comes up in tray, but printer does not start print job. Often get pop-up message that says print job failed, after it finally prints the job. We sometimes have to wait several minutes for it to begin printing.

Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

HP printer is in paused status and will not print. HP6520

How to remove the hp6520 printer out of paused status?

Hello BJClayton,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I would like to offer a hand in an attempt to resolve the paused printer issue with the Photosmart 6520. What is the Operating System installed on the computer, Windows or Mac?
Also, how is the printer connected to the computer, USB or Wireless?
If Windows, please run the HP Print and Scan Doctor. This will look into the drivers, software and communication that the printer users and try to fix the paused status.
Let me know the results, if you are able to run it, and we can take the next steps if any are needed.

How to store printer when not used for extended period.

Printer will remain in unheated summer cottage. I plan to remove print head with cartridges for storage in a heated home. Will the cartridges dry out and/or would ink congeal in printhead as one instruction says not to remove cartridges until ready to replace with new. Any suggestions?

HP 6110 All-in-one no longer prints...print jobs sit in queue

My printer worked fine last week and now I went to print somethign and it just sits in queue. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers, running the HP Diagnostic (which says everything seems fine) but nothing prints. Any ideas on how to get this working again? I also tried to print on my other laptop and that doesn't work either - so it's not an issue with this particular computer.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I have a similar problem but only with my vista pc. All print jobs sit in the queue, don't print. No problem printing on my mac. Please jhelp!

My HP 6500A Plus is connected to wireless network and web services but won't print email or code

I have my HP 6500A Plus connected to my wireless network and it is registered on the HP Web Services but it will not print the printer email address or code. I have followed the directions. I would appreciate your help in this matter. Dave

Hey ddwilson9999,
If your printer is telling you that it cannot connect to the server, try these steps.
1. Find your printer's IP address by printing a network configuration page.
2. Type you IP address into the address bar of your web browser.
3. Click on the network tab at the top of the page.
4. Look at the left hand side and click IPv4 under wireless.
5. Change the IP settings to Manual.
6. Enter the printer's IP address, your subnet mask, and your routers IP address or default gateway in the spaces.
7. Set the Preferred DNS to 8.8.8.8.
8. Set the Alternate DNS to 8.8.4.4.
9. Click apply.(You may need to refresh the page if it says processing for longer than a min and click apply again.)
10. Now try to print the information page.

Our lap top lost power as it was printing from our hp psc 1315 and will not print now

The printer was in the middle of printing and the lap top lost power. When I repowered it the print spit out and now the printer will not print. The print sits in the que but does not finish. Help - thanks

Hello @dbrown68,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that since losing power on your laptop in the middle on a print job your HP PSC 1315 All-in-One Printer will not print from your Windows XP computer. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue.
To start can I please have you click here to download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor Tool. This Tool will run on your computer and 'fix printing' issues for you. Should any driver, software or connection conflicts be found than the HP Print and Scan Doctor Tool will attempt to resolve the conflicts for you. There is the likelihood that when the computer shut down during the in progress print that print job became corrupted in the Print Spooler of the computer. The Print Spooler is the print system on your computer and controls all printing no matter the make or model of printer. The job can remain corrupted and stuck in the Print Spooler even after printing. Ideally, if any Print Spooler corruptions are found the HP Print and Scan Doctor Tool will resolve those corruptions.
Please respond to this post with the result of running the HP Print and Scan Doctor Tool. Good luck!

LR 4 - image does not appear in Preview and will not print`

The selected image appears on the main/center panel but not in the preview screen. Printing results in a white sheet of paper with no image at all. The image has been updated to LR 4 - but made no difference. I've served help and the forums (where i saw mention of similar problems, but no comments or guidance on the problem). What am I doing wrong?

The problem began with the installation of LR4. I print directly from LR4 to my HPZ3100. I routinely select "print preview" in the print dialogue box. Now the first print I see the preview and then it prints. If I select a second print job and use the "print preview" the print preview screen comes up blank and never loads. If I try to delete the print job, it just never responds (resolves) so I have to turn off the computer and the printer and restart to clear the print job. if I don't use the print preview, it prints just fine (except that I'm not able to check what's about to be printed). Thanks for any thoughts you have on this.

Bill, if this is only happening some of the time, then we are probably looking at a resource issue. Any pattern in when things won't print? e.g. Certain file type won't but others will? Or is it more of a timing/order thing? e.g. First file prints fine, second does not? VStromee, do no files print for you? Or is it like Bill and sometimes the print and other times they do not? Did you install any new software recently or have any updates to the OS or any application that has printing capabilities?

My HP Deskjet 1055 was connected to my laptop via USB and wiould not print immediately. However, when the computer was restarted, the printing job started. Please help me with a solution.

The problem is with your computer's USB port as it is powering down to save power. You need to turn this off. Go here. http://www.ehow.com/how_6818080_turn-port_s-power-save-option.html

Print jobs won't automatically drop from the print queue after printing

I just bought an Envy 7640. When printing multiple documents, the first print job hangs in the queue after it prints, which prevents subsequent jobs from printing. The first job continues to show a status of Printing after it prints the job. I have to manually go into the queue and cancel the finished job before the next job in the queue will print. Having to clear the queue manually each time a print job finishes is not an acceptable fix to the problem. How can I get the printer to automatically delete the print job after it prints like it's supposed to do?

Thank you for your reply. The steps that you sent are for print jobs that you cannot delete from the queue. I also found those instructions earlier, however, it doesn't apply to the problem I'm having with my printer. I don't have a problem deleting print jobs from the queue. As my previous post stated, when I print multiple documents, the first document prints but it stays in the queue with a status of Printing. Because it stays in the queue with the Printing status, it prevents the second and subsequent documents from printing. My problem is that I have to go to the queue after every single job prints and delete it from the queue to allow the next document to print. It's ridiculous to have to delete every job from the queue after it prints. The printer should automatically delete the job after it prints it, and then print the next job in the queue. How can I make the printer delete a job automatically after it prints it?? Can you please give me a resolution to this problem? Thank you.

Sorry for late reply i was not at work
I have a default set excel is still throwing error. Interestingly winword , powerpoint and publisher are working fine. I am able to print from all office applications except Excel.
Probably excel behaves differently from other office applications.
Probably it is a bug in excel
Workaround : Log on to a system once using newly created account then runas excel using this account then print works fine.
It means something in user profile should be configure to run excel print operation. Could you please somebody help what I need to configure in user profile that makes print operation success?

First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

The document shows in the printer viewer, but it is paused and will not print.

Hi, when ever I try to print anything, the doc is in the viewer but is always paused, and will not print. I've tried to restart, but it will not do it.
Any advice?

Hi, are you referring to a problem in trying to print via the ePrint service e.g.. sending an email to your printer's email address, or printing directly from your PC/laptop?
