8600 printer in an error state message -- will print from Mac but not from my pc

We have two computers wirelessly connected to my hp 8600. The Mac prints fine, but recently I started receiving error messages when I try to print from my desktop PC: "Printer in an error state" I have tried unplugging from the wall, turning on and off, rebooting, so far nothing helping.

But I had done that when I first set up my printer. And it worked up until a couple days ago. Don't know what changed.
Then try look at these tips to see if these can figure the problem?

Full page prints from iPhone but not from iPad using photo app with AirPrint ?

Full page prints from iPhone but not from iPad using photo app with AirPrint ? iPad only prints 4x6 on full size paper. It's an HP 8600.

I also have this problem printing photos from an iPad to an Epson WF-2540 printer. It prints only 4x6 and without border (so print starts at extreme top left corner of paper). Borderless printing is not selected on printer. Printing a square photo just crops to 4x6 size.

I can print from my Mac but not from my iPad.

I can print from my Mac but not from my iPad ,any ideas?

you can read here about airprint

if the printer don't support that then you need to find a printing app in app store
which will act the role as printer driver for the device to speak with the printer

Officejet A909a prints from mac but when from windows "out of paper" message appears.

I have an older 8500 which has been very loyal to me and I have looking after it well, which is now pushing 4000 pages. However i went to print a file from my Windows 7 PC yesterday which is connected via usb, and it wouldnt print saying it was out of paper (which it wasn't) about half full . So i tried again no luck. UN-installed then reinstalled the printer still noting. went to my work laptop (windows 7) which is connected wirelessly through the network, same again "no paper" message appears. i thought this is strange turned it off back on still nothing even after disconnecting it from the mains for a few minutes, nothing the same message still appears.
However, my son has a mac book pro and he just printed his coursework off the printer effortlessly through my network. so i know the printer is fine especially as i have now printed self test pages off through the printer itself.
I have no idea what to do now, as i have tried uninstalling then installing, printing via usb and network. and when i say "out of paper" i mean the printer receives the print command from my computer as it tries to feed paper a few times but cant pick it up also i have tried with various paper levels in the printer (full, half, about 20 pages, 1 single page)
Please help.

Hello @Dangerous97,
I understand that when printing from your 2 Windows 7 computers you receive an 'out of paper' message after your HP Officejet Pro 8500 All-in-One Printer struggles and fails to pick up paper. However, you are able to print from a Mac computer. This is very unusual behaviour! I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue. Also, thank you for including that you are able to print self-test pages from the printer with no issues as well.
Generally, 'out of paper' messages are caused by a hardware issue with the printer itself. Because you are able to print standalone to your printer and from a Mac, there may be an issue with the documents that you're trying to print from your Windows 7 computer or a programming issue with your printer.
With that being said, to start I would like you to click here to download and install the latest programming Firmware Update on your printer. Once the website opens select the Download button on the top left. Once the download is complete, please follow any onscreen instructions to send the update to your printer.
Once the Firmware has been successfully updated, please test printing again.
Please respond to this post with the result of the Firmware Update. Good luck!

Canon Pixma Printer prints from Windows, but not from iMac PLEASE HELP!

I have a Canon Pixma IP-400 USB printer connected via Airport Express Base Station. I can print just fine from my Windows computer, but when I attempt to print from my iMac, I get +"Error Nubmer : 300 The printer does not respond. Make sure that the printer is plugged in, powered-on, and properly connected to your computer"+ The printer is +plugged in, powered-on,+ and +properly connected+.
The weirdness is that I can connect the printer directly to the iMac and it prints just fine! I tried replacing the cables (both USB and power cables) to no avail. The iMac prints fine to our other (laser) printer on a different Airport Express Base Station.
Any suggestions? Thank you!!

See my post "Need help to get printer to work".
I get the same message whenever I try to print.

ALSB 3.0 : Request message works in Test Console but not from Client side

By invoking a Web Service operation through a signature/encryption enabled Proxy Service in the ALSB Test Console for Proxy Services, i get a successful response.
Now when invoking the operation from a client application i get the following error response:
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<env:Header/>
<env:Body>
<env:Fault xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
<faultcode>wsse:FailedCheck</faultcode>
<faultstring>weblogic.xml.crypto.encrypt.api.XMLEncryptionException: Unable to resolve encryption key for weblogic.xml.crypto.encrypt.api.EncryptedType{keyInfo=null, cipherData=CipherValue: zDeM4MKI8OeFzgJAR+z16ZE3cUfw54DtMKojPNACkVVZM0hazes+DcI4rJIHWzgt5N259pi9WTKgSEgBxQLZ3qD6PycrwTZuQ/4g2JbBwLwbO9WS40NsIhZRQCtguFPG8vKwNWeoXMOZ5w0m3jhV2ahFWZCTAipoG4XIOv/7pEw=, id='Enc-6abda982-1678-4774-97f3-cada98d32869', mimeType='null', encoding='null', encryptionMethod=EncryptionMethod: algorithm = http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#aes256-cbc;}</faultstring>
</env:Fault>
</env:Body>
</env:Envelope>
Even when pasting the original request from the Test Console in ALSB into "soapUI" and executing the request it does not work:
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<env:Header/>
<env:Body>
<env:Fault xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
<faultcode>wsse:InvalidSecurity</faultcode>
<faultstring>Could not validate encryption against any of the supported token types</faultstring>
</env:Fault>
</env:Body>
</env:Envelope>
So what's behind all this? Why does it work in the test console but never from other points.

In both ways, with Direct Call option selected or deselected, the behaviour is the same.
I cannot explain, why the replay of the request does not work from outside the Service Bus. Is there some sort of unique data mixed into the CipherValue data or something like that?

8630 all-in-one prints wirelessly from phone but not from laptop

I just set up my new 8630 printer and it is connected wirelessly. I printed something from my phone on it. I downloaded the driver from HP to my laptop but it will not work with the printer. I cannot print wirelessly from the laptop. I have not tried from USB cable because I am determined to make this work! I am not sure the driver installed properly either. When I go to the control panel and click on printers and find the 8630 it says"empty." Feeling frustrated. I never have good luck installing stuff like this! I also downloaded the troubleshooting software and none of the solutions has worked either. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Hello DLKoons,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some communication issues as well.
Like I stated to the other person on this thread, I am going to need the operating system that you are using.
Which Windows Operating System am I running?
Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
I look forward to hearing from you.

Odd error when 6i report run from server but not from pc

Getting error:
REP-0065: Virtual Memory System error. REP-0200: Cannot allocate enough memory. cavaa 22
running a report from the web server via URL / cgicmd.dat file
report runs fine from developer tool, naturally
both windows boxes, server & pc
report has single ref cursor query from pacakged procedure returning 4 column record type, all defined in same package
order of columns all appear to be the same, datatypes too
ideas?

Another developer created a new function that my ref cursor query used.
It had an error, thereby causing the ref cursor to fail.... the report failed.
I think more error handlers are necessary.

PSE 10 will print from the organizer and in sharing mode, but not from full edit

I'm using pse10 on a computer with an i7 processor with 12GB of ram and windows 7 with a color laser printer. The print function works fine while in organizer and sharing mode, but not from full edit. When I try to print from full edit, I get an error message with a red "X" on it that says: "Before you can perform printer related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer." I can't figure it out. The printer is in "ready" state, and works fine in the organizer mode, and in share. Any thoughts on what I'm missing? Thanks for any help in advance.

This occurs frequently with HP printers, though others are implicted as well from time to time
In Control panel>Devices and printers, right click your active printer, go to Printer Properties, and rename the printer to something short, e.g. my printer

Printer offline and error state

Just moved and installed printer HP 4200C series to my laptop with Window 8. Got the successful window. The printer shows offline (no drop down menu to chose online) and if I try to print, it says the printer is in a state or error. Tried suggestions from forum but no go.

Hello kokua,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see you are having some errors when trying to print, such as "Offline" and "Printer is in error state". I am at a little bit of a loss as to what printer you are using however, the 4200c is a Scanjet. Can you take a second look on the printer for its model number?
In the mean time, run the Print and Scan Dr on the computer, let me know what passes, fails, is fixed, etc.
Regards,
JERENDS

It's all about setting up what ever version of windows you have running on your pc to share the printer. If you still get stuck post in a windows forum for help.

HP officejet Pro 8100 will print from an Iphone but not from my windows laptop

HP officejet Pro 8100 will print from an Iphone but not from my windows laptop. I get an error stating "unable to communicate with printer"

Hi Melatina66,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I understand that when trying to print from your laptop that you get a communication error message.
To better assist you, would you please provide some further information:
1)       How is the printer connected (USB cable, ethernet or wireless)?
2)      When you installed the printer on your laptop did you set it up with a USB cable? If yes, did you switch the connection type on the laptop from USB cable to ethernet/wireless?
3)      What version of Windows operating system are you running on the laptop (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8, etc)?
4)      When printing from your iPhone are you using Apple's AirPrint or HP's ePrint app?
Thank you.
Regards,
