After printing display window still says "printing..."

using HP7310 office jet all inone
can't print while this message "printing..." is still in display window on printer. Once it goes away after about 5 minutes I can print again.
How do I fix this?

Stewart,
No, you haven't done anything. That's standard operating procedure for Pages. This issue has come up in this discussion group several times. In fact, I was surprised the first time Pages asked me to save an already saved document. My guess is that the act of printing writes some new info to the file that Pages wants to save. It's a mild annoyance, but still an annoyance.

Can't print to Windows 7 shared printer from Mac OS Lion

Dear all,
I would like to share my experience battling to figure out how to print to Windows 7 shared printer from Mac OS Lion. Myself had this problem and looking throughly in internet without success. But finally I figured out the solution by myself, hope this can help other Mac user with similar problem.
OK, when I try to setup my new MacBook Pro with OS Lion to connect with my Canon MX308 printer attached to desktop with Windows 7 Ultimate,
1. I simply select System Preferences>Print & Scan.
2. Then looks for the + sign just below the box to add a new printer.
3. From the option toolbar above, I select Windows. I have connect this MacBook with my Windows Network, so the workgroup will appear to the left column.
4. After I select this group, the computer list will appear in the middle column
5. Then after I select the computer which my printer connected to, my printer sharename will appear in the right column
6. Last step is to select the printer I want to use.
7. After that it will automatically put your printer sharename to the "Name". And then I select my printer driver at "Print Using" and find my printer manufacturer which is Canon MX300 series from driver lists. Finish!
My printer appear in the Printers List. But the problem is everytime I try to print there will be error message saying "ON HOLD Authentication Required".
This problem start to kill me, I search all around for similar problem, but the solution was never worked for me!
Until just now I figured out accidentally for the solution.
THE PROBLEM LIES ON MY PRINTER DRIVER!!!! Although I have downloaded the most update driver from Apple site and Apple Software update said there is no more update for my system!
The solution for my problem is Gutenprint Printer Driver! You can download this driver at http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php, then select for the latest driver gutenprint-5.2.7.dmg. Install this driver!
Then back to Print & Scan in System Preferences, then right click on Printers List box, then choose "Reset Printing System..." to clear the previous failed printers.
After that, repeat the above step 2 - 7. Only for the last step I need to select the Printer Driver for my Canon MX308 for the driver name : "Canon PIXMA MX300 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.7"
Now I can sleep as a baby knowing that my printer make a friend with my new Macbook Pro! Hope this will help others!

I have the same setup but with a Canon MX850. This did not fix my problem.

Can't print from Windows PC to printer on I-Mac USB over wireless network

I am a brand new Mac user after years of Windows frustration.
Canon i9100 connected to I-Mac via USB. Prints OK from I-Mac. Print share enabled. Windows share enabled.
I-Mac on wireless LAN with static IP addresses for all devices.
Dell Windows XP on same wireless LAN.
Can ping I-Mac OK.
Added printer on Dell through Windows XP using I-Mac static IP address and I-Mac printer name - installed OK, but will not print.
After hours on Apple Support, found and downloaded Bonjour for Windows and installed on Dell. Ran Bonjour on Dell, installed printer OK, but still won't print from Dell.
Very frustrating and I haven't started on my VPN issues yet - thought Apple would be far simpler.
Wotto
I-Mac Intel Mac OS X (10.4.5) Dell Inspiron Windows XP

On Windows, after either method of setup, change the driver (on PC) to Apple Color LaserWriter. Apple print queues expect postscript as input.
If this is unsatisfactory, you can create a RAW queue on the Mac (only for sharing the printer, because it will have no driver associated):

Canon printer not printing even though query says "printing"

I am having problem setting up my printer (Canon MF4350d) with Mac.
I installed the printer by using the disc provided with the printer. Everything went fine. When I try to "print" I see the printing query, and it even says x% is sent over and such. But… when in fact, nothing is actually being printed out at all.
I looked at the following setting:
Printer & Fax -> Option & Supplies -> under the tab "Driver" I have Generic PCL Laser Printer selected because my printer model is not on the list. I don't know if that might be the reason…
My printer says Canon MF4320-4350
I have Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard
I looked up in the other thread (Click here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12440612#12440612)
I don't see the UFR2 folder under Canon :/
Please help.
Thank you in advance.

This will be the reason. The MF4350 does not support the PCL or Postscript printing languages. You need to use the proprietary Canon UFRII driver. Delete this print queue as it will not work.
I looked up in the other thread (Click here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12440612#12440612)
I don't see the UFR2 folder under Canon :/
Then this would indicate that you have not installed the Canon UFRII driver. Rather than using the provided disc I suggest you download the UFRII driver from the [Canon web site|http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printersmultifunction/imageclass_series/imageclassmf4350d#DriversAndSoftware]. After you download and unpack the file you can run the installer which will create the UFR2 folder under the Canon folder.
Once the UFR2 driver has been installed you can then select to add the printer, this time ensuring the Print Using menu shows the MF4350. Note that when you do select the printer you will get a prompt stating that the driver is not installed. Ignore that and open the Print Using menu and click 'Select printer software'. This will present a list of installed drivers and a search window. Type MF43 and you will see the MF4350 UFRII driver in the list. Select it and OK and then click Add to complete the new print queue creation. Now try printing - this should get a lot further than the previous Generic PCL.

HP Deskjet 9300 Printer needs Windows 8.1 Printer Driver

Hi,
I'd really like to install my HP Deskjet 9300 Printer up to my new computer, but it's Window's 8.1 and I can't see any options for a compatible printer driver on the HP Website. Any advice would be much appreciated ...

Hi Tom.
Sorry to inform you, this printer is not supported in Windows 8 and cannot be used with the operating system.
http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?sp4ts.oid=295930&docId=emr_na-c03168175&docLocale=...
You may try installing an alternative driver as available for Windows 7, however it is not officially supported and there are no gurantees for that to work on Windows 8:
Make sure that the USB cable is not connected to the product. If the USB cable is connected to the product, disconnect it.
From the Windows taskbar, click the Windows icon (), and then click Devices and Printers. The Devices and Printers window opens.
Click Add a printer. The Add Printer window opens.
Click on 'The printer that I want isn't listed.
Click Add a local printer.
Click Use an existing port.
Click the Use an existing port drop-down list, select LPT1 and then click Next.
Under Manufacturer in the Install the printer driver window, click HP.
Under Printers, select the HP Deskjet 1220c.
When the installation is complete, a message displays on the computer stating that the product was added successfully.
In the message window, click Finished.
Connect the USB cable to the product, and connect the USB cable to the computer. A Device driver software was not successfully installed window opens.
Click Close () to close the window.
Right-click the HP Deskjet 1220c printer and then click Printer Properties. The Printer Properties window opens.
Click the Ports tab.
Click the drop down menu, and then change the port from LPT1 to USB or DOT4. if htere are several USB or DOT 4 ports select the one with the higherst number.
Click OK and try printing.
Hope that may work,

Cant add a printer in Windows 2008 Server printer server HP LaserJet P1606dn

Hello,
I am trying to install a HP LaserJet P1606dn printer in a Windows 2008 Server Virtual machine.
The printer is connected to the corporate network and I am able to do ping from my desktop to the printer.
Then I follow this steps.
1.- Install the driver application for W2008 Server.
2.- Add printer in W2008 Printer Server.
3.-Select "add a local or network printer" as an administrator.
4.- Choose network printer
5.-Create a new port --> Standard TCP/IP Port
6.- Fill the host name ---> ("printer1") or IP address --> (XX.XXX.XX.13) I have tried the both options separately but with no result. And fill the port name
7.-At this stage . W2008 Server tells me that " the device is not found on the network" . Be sure that: .....
So, in select device type, I select "Standard" and "Generic Network Card" and click on Next
8.- Install printer driver -> I select the proper driver HP LaserJet 1606dn
9.- Install the printer driver ---> use the driver that is currently installed (recommend)
10.- Type printer name --> "printer1"
11.-Share printer name ---> "printer1"
Here, begins the problem. Trying to print a test page, It says me that "A test page has been sent to your printer", I can see the document in the queue, but the printer page it isn`t thrown away outside.
I dont explain myself why, I have done several trials, and I dont know what happens
I would be very grateful if somebody could help me to solve this issue
Many Thanks
Robert

Hi lespaul80,
1st- check if you can connect to your printer on web interface(in IE: \\printer ip address
and check under network setup if subnet mask and def. gateway setup
also if you have DNS setup check it too
check if you have SNMP options - desable it
on server try ad printer by direct IP and try use upd drive(PCL6 or PS)
Hope it help you

Printing from windows xp to printer on aeb

I have a network set up using an airport extreme basestation which provides internet access to a powerbook and a pc laptop running xp.
this works flawlessly.
I also have a canon ip3000 printer connected to the basestation which i want to use from both computers.
of course from the mac this was a matter of 2 clicks and it worked.
on the pc, i've spent about an hour going through a gazillion windows, holding the machine's hands every step of the way, downloading drivers it couldn't find and so on. i followed instruction on ifelix http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1004.html step by step. there were no errors while doing this and everything seemed to work.
now when i set the pc to print a test page at the end of the installation process, it does starts spooling and cueing the page and after about 10 seconds complains "the printer is not responding".
meanwhile, the printer _IS responding and is starting to print the page!
windows then decides - obviously after it has sent about a 3rd of the first page - to _re-start printing - this is NOT something i have told it to do - and complains again "printer not responding"...
after about 3 or so attempts, each of just over a 3rd of a page in length, i have 2 pages of garbage and windows claiming that the printer doesn't respond....
does this sound familiar to anyone?
does anyone have any pointers on how to solve this?

was offline for a while - hence the delay in replying to this.
thanks for your help so far
today i reinstalled the printer driver from scratch with the printer connected directly to the computer
Does the printer work correctly when directly connected to the PC?
yes it does. flawlessly.
Are you using the correct driver?
yes and latest version of it - freshly downloaded today from the manufacturers site
It should be noted that some printer drivers were never designed to work unless the printer was connected directly.
the printer in question is a canon pixma ip 3000 - according to the compatibility list on your site it was added by apple as being compatible...
Bonjour/Rendezvous shouldn't make a difference, but you may want to try it.
at least it takes away m$ insanity in installing drivers and proves the point that interface design __can be done properly, even under windoze... :)))
the problem that i have at the moment is as follows;
the printer works perfectly when connected directly to the pc.
when connected to the basestation, i use bonjour to find it and install the printer driver (which was already installed in the system to get the printer working when connected directly to the computer, now i just create a new setup for use with the basestation.)
I click "print test page". the printer starts printing, at about 1/3rd of the page it stops and waits. after a while (between half a minute and one minute) the page is ejected by the printer and it starts a new attempt to print the page - note: i did NOT instruct it to do so after the initial "print test page" click.
this second page is printed till about 60 or 70%, after which a 3rd attempt is made at re-printing the page, this time without a page-feed continuing on the second sheet of paper. at the end of that sheet, the computer complains that the test print has failed. in true windows fashion, it does not provide any feedback of what has actually gone wrong.
somehow i have the idea that the software is expecting some kind of acknowledgment from the printer that it has started or maybe even a progress report at regular intervals. and somehow this doesn't seem to come through...
but this is pure guessing - i have no further data to support this other than the sequence of events described above, which is consistent and repeated at every print attempt
if anyone has any suggestions on what to try next, that would be more than welcome
thanks again

My computer is connected to the printer but if I try to print a box appears saying printer not found

When I first installed the software a couple weeks ago I printed a test page just fine as well as one document from the internet. Now after not using my computer for two weeks when I try to print a message appears saying 'the printer is not conected' and 'searching for printer'. I tried reinstalling the software. That all worked until the final screen popped up asking if I wanted to print a test page. I clicked the box that would print the test page but the same box popped up saying that the printer was not connected. However I know that the printer is connected because the software reinstalled. During the two weeks I did not use this computer I was using my old computer, and the printer worked just fine on that computer the entire time; it is only not working now that I have gone back to my new computer. Please can you help me?Thank you.

I too am experiencing an EXTREMELY slow connection to the internet when my PC comes out of sleep. When I check/troubleshoot the connection, I have all green lights, indicating I should be able to get on line, but it takes about 4 or 5 minutes before I can do so. It seems that this problem started shortly after the iCloud (or i Could as another poster said) was loaded. I know its not my ISP, because my wife, who works on an IBM machine gets right on, no problemo. Is there something going on with either the recent update or the i Could (use to be able) addition? Defective software?
TIA for any response.

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @Chinadoll702
I read your post about the printing issues you've been experiencing on your Mac running 10.6 and your Officejet 6700. I have a few ideas in mind to get started and let me know the results and we will take it from there.
Update the Firmware on the printer: Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates
Power reset the printer and make sure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help greatly.
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
Make a few copies afterwards and tell me if the copies pause, cancel, do not work, etc.
Try printing from Text Edit on your Mac as well, and get back to me with the results.
Good luck

Printing to Windows 7 Shared printer???

Ok, so I just tried every one of the convoluted ways I can think of to get a PowerBook G4 running OS 10.4.11 to Print to a printer shared by a Dell PC running Windows 7... NOTHING WORKED!!! 3 hours down the drain... :'(
I got file sharing working just fine, but nothing I did would allow the Mac to see the shared printer...
Is Tiger (10.4.11) too old to see a Windows 7 shared printer???
HELP!!!!

I'm struggling with the same thing, myself. The Snow Leopard and Windows 7 machines are right as rain, and I can print without problem. (Did turn off Homegroup, as I read somewhere that this is only useful if all the machines in the environment are Windows 7.) The Tiger machine, though... it can see the computer and connect to the shared drive, but it does not see the printer.
The document given above is for 10.5, it's 10.4.11. However, I found this article on the same site (see below), printing between 10.4.11 and Vista (not Windows 7), and I'm gonna give it a whirl tomorrow. I don't think for Windows 7 that SMB has to be specifically enabled, because again, no issues from the Snow Leopard machine in that regard. What caught my attention specifically is in this article on this page, enabling Line Printer Daemon (LPD).

I'll report back with whether or not this worked.

Windows 8 saying printer error, but still printing

Okay so I just got a new labtop (hp) with windows 8 and the hp envy 4500 printer, everytime I print out something (via wireless connection) on the labtop in the right top corner, a popup will say error printing ( can't remember exactly what it says) but eitherway, it's saying that but the printer DOES print. Why does it keep popping up saying error or whichever but there is nothing wrong and it is printing. Not a huge issue but kind of annoying, thanks, Sarah

Hi TonyKnVA
I understand the printer won't print multiple pages.
Here is a url to temporarily disable all the start up programs to see if one of them is causing any issues.
Click Here.
Turn off any Antivirus software.
Try and print a multiple page document from a couple different applications.
You will have to follow the same steps to enable all again.
Let me know if that makes a difference.

Wireless printing between windows 8 and printer

When I try to print, I have to cycle power on the printer in order to get it to communicate with my laptop. After doing so I can print as much as I want without issue. If I try to print a couple of hours latter and have to cycle power again. I'm thinking something must be reseting in the software, that by cycling power makes it active again. I did not have this issues with windows 7.

Hey @bkatt ,
Thank you for taking the time to post on the HP Forums today! Hope you enjoy the experience.
So my name is Zac and I'll be your 1 to 1 HP Support representative today! I see you are using an Officejet 6500A and you are having some connectivity issues with your Windows 8.1. You have to connect and disconnect the power cord to get them to communicate after the printer is in idle mode for a while.
HP has a tool that developed and used to fix all kinds of issue with our printers on Windows platforms. The tool is called the HP Print and Scan Doctor. Please download the HP Print and Scan Doctor and see if it can locate any issues and if it fixes you communication issue.
Click here to download and run the Print and Scan Doctor >>> www.hp.com/go/tools
Let me know if you are able to get the HP Print and Scan Doctor to fix the issue. If you are not then let me know and we can continue to troubleshoot. Have a great day and a wonderful/ safe holiday season.
