C4280 will copy but not print.

I have a C4280 which has suddenly decided not to print. Oddly, it will copy just fine. The document appears to be stuck in the print queue with a printer error message ("Status: printer error"). I have tried resetting the printer (power off, unplug overnight, reconnect, reboot computer), removing, cleaning and reinstalling the ink cartridges, deleting and reinstalling the printer and nothing changes. I have paused, restarted, deleted, re-sent, etc. the document(s) and I still can't print. My OS is Windows 7.

Okay, I'm replying to my own question. How this happened I don't know, but the port for the printer got reset (uses of the passive voice, aha) to the Microsoft XPS document writer port. I reset it to USB and now everything's fine. Well, except for the fact that when connected to my desktop computer (I'm using a laptop now), it reinstalls itself every time I boot up the computer. At one point I discovered I had 16 copies of the printer. It still worked somehow. (That system OS is XP Pro.) Any light anyone could shed on that issue would be appreciated.

  • HP DJ1510 AIO Printer-CAN SCAN BUT NOT PRINT

    I installed SW & HW as per HP instructions on my comp (WinXP-SP2). Scanning worked but cannot print as the printer driver (which may be missing or faulty on the CD and also in installation files downloaded from HP web site) does not get installed.
    HP, India has not come up with any solution to this issue despite my spending many hours with them since 20/9/14.
    HP needs to give me a patch for installing printer driver in my OS, which should not be difficult for a company like HP.
    I am now frustrated with this HP product & its service. All promises but nofollow up or even phones are not picked up
    Who will help me or should I throw away this HP printer.

    Hi @bmsprinter,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that your HP Deskjet 1510 can scan but not print with Windows XP (Service Pack 2). I am happy to help!  
    According to your printer's specifications, found at this website, HP Deskjet 1510 and Deskjet Ink Advantage 1510 All-in-One Printer Series Product Specifications. This printer is only supported on Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and above. You can select System requirements, and then Windows system requirements, once you have visited that website.
    Also, please take a look at this reply, Re: cannot find priner, by my colleague @Jamieson, from your older post, that will help you upgrade your Windows XP Service Pack. 
    Hope this information is helpful, and have a wonderful day!

  • Can't scan or copy but CAN print following permissions repair on OS 10.4.11

    I have a Lexmark X1180 and am trying to run it on my mac using OS 10.4.11. Initially I could not print, but I could scan or copy to the computer (but not print out the scan or copy).
    Having researched on the Apple discussion forum I found that this was a typical problem following the OS 10.4.11 update, and I followed the recommendation of repairing permissions on my Mac. I did this, and now I CAN print but I CANNOT scan or copy. When I try to scan or copy by going into the Lexmark all in one centre it says:
    "Unable to communicate with scanner.
    Be sure the device is connected to the computer and powered on."
    Please can you give me a work around for this? I know that this printer is not technically compatible with OS 10.4.11 but I HAVE managed to get all of the functions of the printer working with this OS but just not both at the same time!
    Please can you help? I have spent hours on this.
    Thanks

    Hi Jo,
    Been hoping an exprt would drop in, but I guess not!
    I'd see if you might have Twain driver that is interfering.

  • Hp photosmart c4480 using with mac OS X 10.9.4 will scan but not save or send

    hp photosmart c4480 using with mac OS X 10.9.4 will scan but not save or send.  says: could not be written to  check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read only. 

    Hello @JoScan , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you are experiencing scan issues.  I would like to help.
    I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
    I would also suggest running your Apple updates:  OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
    After the updates, I would recommend readding the OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • OS X 10.4.11 will send but not receive faxes on Power Mac G4 MDD

    OS X 10.4.11 will send but not receive faxes on my Power Mac G4 MDD. Perhaps I should remove the relevant .plist preference file(s). But which one(s) is it /are they? Or is there something else I should do?

    Thank you for your reply, BDAqua. I have set the fax feature to answer after 3 rings, but the phone rings only once when someone is trying to send a fax. The phone icon in the menu bar changes to "ringing ..." but nothing more happens. The phone line on which I receive faxes is dedicated to that use. I phoned in to its number earlier today from another phone. I heard it ring once and then it went to the busy signal. I then disconnected the fax phone line from its wall jack, connected a phone to the jack, and phoned in to it. The phone now rang and rang as it should. So this confirms the assumption that the fault is in the computer, presumably in the Print & Fax software. I should also mention that I don't find com.apple.print.FaxPrefs.plist in /Library/Preferences.

  • IPad will open but not display information entered on a form sent as a PDF.

    iPad will open but not display information entered on a PDF file. Same file will open and display all information on my iMac. Anyone had this problem?

    I think that you are trying to view a form fields PDF file and you cannot see the content that was filled in on those fields. Form fields will not show in the mail app or in iBooks. Download Adobe Reader for the iPad. It is free and it offers a lot of features for a free app. Save that PDF to Adobe Reader and see if the text in the fields appear.

  • My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). How do I fix it?

    My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). I have tried unplugging the devices, restarting the computer, selectively unplugging and plugging in the devices, closing and opening the relevant applications (iTunes, iPhoto, etc). I have tried using different USB cables.
    It's like all of a sudden the synching service stopped functioning or recognizing these devices for some reason. The other ports work just fine (monitor).
    The only USB-connected external device that appears to be unaffected is the USB SuperDrive and it works on all the USB ports into which I plug it.
    How do I fix this?

    Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens or doesn't happen.

    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    @MikeNTxs - 64bit USB drivers have been available since April of 2010, and they do work. I've synced successfully to my Vista64 bit laptop many times via USB.

  • G5, 10.3.9,Safari will not load.  aol will download but not upload. ?

    whats going on?
    John

    Success. I discovered the issue that was preventing QTSS start up.
    The IP Bind tab listed a set of new Class C IP addresses that ARIN forced us to move to last year and which had been properly configured into our network and I had checked the matching address shared in our new web server config.
    However /library/quicktimestreaming/config/streamingserver.xml had not exterminated the obsolete address and I pico'ed in the Terminal to replace these lines
    <LIST-PREF NAME="bindipaddr" >
    <VALUE>old ip</VALUE>
    <VALUE>new ip</VALUE>
    </LIST-PREF>
    with this line, which will now overide whatever's poking in the old ip, probably one of those pesky permanently-burned Net Info DB's that can't be purged despite the reality that servers sometimes need wholesale refreshes to be re-networked:
    <PREF NAME="bindipaddr" >new ip</PREF>

  • Why will my HP6510 not print to photo tray when I print directly from my computer?

    Why will my HP6510 not print to photo tray when I print directly from my computer?
    I am able to print to the photo tray when I print from a memory card, inserted directly into the printer.  However, when I try to print a picture saved directly to my laptop through my wireless connection, the picture prints from the main tray.  If I take the paper out of the main tray, I get the out of paper message.  When I first bought the printer, I had no problems with this issue.  The printer is about 2-3 years old.  I have gone into the HP software on my laptop and set the preferences for photo tray, along with the size I wanted and the photo paper I was using.  By the way, it is HP photo paper.  I have also done the same on the print screen on my laptop.  In addition, I have gone into preferences on the printer itself and chosen "Prompt for photo tray."  I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the HP software on my laptop.  I successfully printed the "practice picture" during the reinstalling process.  None of this has solved the problem.  
    I have no problem printing a document from my laptop wirelessly to the printer. 

    Hi mountainnana,
    Thank you for your response, sorry the guide was not what you were looking for.
    Here are some other suggestions:
    Open the HP Solution Center (icon is normally on the desktop.) Click on Set Preferences, Click on the Paper/Quality tab, for the Source choose Tray 2, choose the right paper size and media type. Click Apply, and then OK. Then try printing your photo again.
    If that does not work there could be a driver/software conflict happening. If that is the case please try our HP Print and Scan Doctor.
    Otherwise, proceed with a uninstall and reinstall of your printer software using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
    Hope this solves your issue, and have a good day!

  • My o2 email will receive, but not send on my ipad

    My o2 email will receive, but not send. I've got other email accounts on the ipad &amp; they all work OK. The o2 mail account used to work properly, but I needed to remove the account &amp; since I've put it back on, it won't work on my ipad. Works ok on android mobile phone. I've checked the settings &amp; spoken to o2, but they couldn't solve! It may be since I've joined the cloud? Any advice, gratefully received. Thanks.

    Recheck the settings once again.  There is something wrong.  And it seems to happen to O2 people with some regularity.    Google o2 mail settings and you will get a page with the details.  Pay close attention to the port setting, you may need to change it on the pad, and that may be the problem.
