C6380 prints same print job numerous times

I've setup the C6380 without any problem
Connected it to my HP t760.uk without any problem, running Windows XP SP3
However, I have the following problem when connected to my Toshiba A300-1MC, running Windows Vista
It prints out the same print job numerous times
It started off at 3, but it is now at 25 and increasing!
When opening the queue it shows as "printing" and then updates to "printing - restarting", and cycles through this
It is as if the laptop is not receiving the "job complete" signal and deletes the job
Any advice welcome
I have now started to open the queue and soon as the second one starts right click and cancel it manually, but it still wastes a page as it usually spools this page

I prefer to use the "long" method for printing, where possible
The tests I have done are from :
Windows Mail, for a short email

The only changes I have made are :
Resizing Options A4
Scale to Paper Size A4
Colour = Print in Grayscale
Advanced = Back to front
The above are identical in HP t760.uk Win XP SP2, which works OK
However, the back to front printing does not work (on either)

How can i print a full page of mailing labels using the same contact in numerous times/my mailing address

how can i print out a full sheet of labels using the same contact info numerous times, mailing labels

Are you using DesignPro from Avery? You should.
It gives you the option to print individual labels or all the same:

I use PSC1410 and the problem is after finishing the printing job each time it pulls one blank page

I have PSC 1410, page is pulled at the begining and the check paper as well as the check cartridge LED blinks. To start the print job I have to wait for the page spool and after I hear the first page spool sound then I have to load the paper immediately to the paper try and the print job starts perfectly, after the end of print job it pulls one blank pageand the check paper LED blinks and I have to cancel the print job.

HP C6380 - Print job stalls part way through

My wife and I bought a new Dell Studio 15 (Vista 64 SP1) and an HP C6380 over Christmas. We have AT&T DSL and we use the wireless 2WIRE router/modem device. When I went to install the software for the printer, the Dell just kept spitting out the cd-rom. Odd I thought. I talked to HP and they suggested I just download the installation software for 64 bit Vista. I did so and went through the installation with no problems. Test prints worked fine and I thought we were home free. Well...
About 40% of the time when we print, the printer begins to print and gets about 1/4 or 1/8 of the way through a page and then it stalls out. The print monitor on the computer gives an error message, but I can't seem to get any more details than there is an error. The printer itself just says it's printing and eventually it will just spit out the unfinished page. It often happens when printing documents that are longer than 1 page. I've seen this error mentioned in various Google searches I've done, but no one seems to know how to fix it. I think it has to do with Vista and the HP printer not getting along. I don't believe the router is the issue. Has any one any suggestions on what we might do to fix this issue? Thanks.

There have been reports of Vista not working well with older networking equipment. Here's a link to a Microsoft note on this subject.
I also have a couple of other questions:
When the printer stalls, can you ping the printer from the PC? Can you access the printer's internal web page by browsing its IP address?
How is the PC connected to your network (wired or wireless)?
Are there other wireless devices on the network besides your PC and your printer?
When the printer stalls, can you still browse the internet from your PC?

C6380 Printer Preperation After Every Print Job

After any small time gap between print jobs (i.e., not in between queued print jobs, but then after the last of those), my c6380 will go through a "Please wait. Printer preperation occurring." The print mechanism appears (noisy) to be doing something and then it goes idle.
Is my printer acting correctly?
Thanks,
Keith

This is normal. After the printer has been idle for some time it prepares the printheads to be parked away in the service area so they will not dry out.

Can I have the same printer installed multiple times under different names?

On WIndows I have the same printer installed multiple times
All using the same driver
I have a Canon printer that has a rear tray and a bottom tray
So, I will have one printer that prints to the rear and the other to the bottom
Other printers (the same one) will be set so that they print in high quality and in duplex for example
I'll name the printers 1.Canon 2.Canon 3.Canon etc
So, when I go to print, I just hit a number on the keyboard and the printer I want is selected
Can I do the same on my laptop?
Thanks
Omar

Back Up - that's in case things go wrong.
In the case you cite:
You have
Mother
Mother Maiden Name
as Faces, right?
In the Corkboard view click on Mother Maiden Name and delete the 'Maiden Name'.
It will disappear and all the photos will be in the Mother face.
Note that 'Mother' and 'Mother ' (that is, with a trailing space) are not the same.
You can also just edit the name 'Mother Maiden Name' to 'Mother'
As for photos staying in manual sort, I can only say that mine do. But as I've no idea what troubleshooting steps you've used.

JS: How to make a script to print one page at a time and set print job name?

What I want is to print one page at a time to the printer.
Document.print(false, app.printerPresets.item(0)) almost get me there. But how do I get it to print page by page? There seems to be no way to set which page to print to printerPreset.
Also, is it possible to change print job name from the default of using document name?

>Is there any solution to this other than saving the document to a different name before each page print?
Here is an altered and abriged version of the script that I use. I use print preset called "PS to PDF" in it, so you should change it to your own.
if(app.documents.length == 0){
   alert("Please open a document and try again.");
   exit();
var myFolder = Folder ("~/Desktop");
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myNoExtention = getFileNameOnly (myDoc.name);
var myPrintPrefs = myDoc.printPreferences;
if (app.printerPresets.item("PS to PDF") == null) {
   alert("Preset \"PS to PDF\" has not been installed");
   exit();
else {
   myPrintPrefs.activePrinterPreset = app.printerPresets.item("PS to PDF");
myDoc.sections.everyItem().sectionPrefix = "";
myDoc.sections.everyItem().includeSectionPrefix = false;
   var stop = myDoc.pages.length;
   var w = new Window ( 'window', 'Printing PS-files' );
   var pb = w.add ('progressbar', [12, 12, 300, 24], 0, stop);
   var txt = w.add('statictext');
   txt.bounds = [0, 0, 200, 20];
   txt.alignment = "left";
   w.show()
for(var myCounter = 0; myCounter < myDoc.pages.length; myCounter++){
   curPage = myCounter + 1;
   pb.value = curPage;
   var myText = String("Page " + curPage + " of " + myDoc.pages.length);
   txt.text = myText;
   var myPageName = myDoc.pages.item(myCounter).name;
   var cornumber = pagenum(myPageName);
   var myFilePath = myFolder + "/" + myNoExtention + "_" + cornumber + ".ps";
   var myFile = new File(myFilePath);
   myPrintPrefs.pageRange = myPageName;
   myPrintPrefs.printFile = myFile;
   myDoc.print(false);
w.hide();
alert("Done!");
function pagenum(myNumber){
   if (myNumber >= 1 && myNumber <= 9)
   x = "0" + "0" + myNumber;
   else if (myNumber >= 10 && myNumber <= 99)
   x = "0" + myNumber;
   else if (myNumber >= 100 && myNumber <= 999)
   x = myNumber;
return x
function getFileNameOnly (myFileName) {
   var myString = "";
   var myResult = myFileName.lastIndexOf(".");
   if (myResult == -1) {
      myString = myFileName;
   else {
      myString = myFileName.substr(0, myResult);

Hi lhartford,
Why are you using ink that has expired?
If you replace the expired ink cartridges do you have the same issue?
This printer was designed to give the customer the best possible photo quality prints. If you are attempting to use cartridges that have reached the expiration dates then HP can't guarantee the printer is going to perform in the matter it is designed to perform.

Every time I do a print job, My printer spits out extra blank paper. I have a HP Photosmart Premium

I have HP Photosmart Premium. Everytime I do a print job my printer spits out extra paper. Sometime it says something Like Page 2 of 2 and other time it is just blank , Some of the pages have a gray line across the bottom. I try to reuse what I can, but would like to know how to stop this.

Typically this is an error in the software connection with the printer. However, one can test this to narrow the issue down by printing a self test page or by making a copy with the printer. If the unit produces no extra pages, then most likely it is coming from the computer.
If you are USB connected, then I would advise unplugging the USB cable to the printer and restarting the PC. While the PC is restarting, I would advise performing a Hard Reset to the printer.
* Unplug printer while powered on
* Unplug other end of power cord from wall outlet
* Wait 30 seconds
* Plug unit back in for power
There is also a document with steps to troubleshoot when a printer is producing blank sheets of paper. To access the document, click here. Let me know how it goes.

Hi bdtcop,
I understand that you are experiencing an issue with AirPrint. Here is an article for you with some troubleshooting steps that may be helpful for resolving this issue:
About AirPrint
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
If you're unable to print
Check these things if you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found."
Make sure your printer has paper, and enough ink or toner installed.
Make sure your printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS device.
Make sure your printer has power and is turned on. Try turning your printer off and then back on again to see if it resolves your issue.
Check to see if your printer has any error lights or indicators displayed on the printer's control panel. Check the documentation that came with your printer to clear any errors displayed.
Check with your printer's manufacturer to see if any firmware updates are available for your printer. Check your printer's documentation or contact the printer vendor for more information. A firmware update may be available, even if you just bought your printer.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

Acrobat 7.1.0 multipage print job goes one page at a time

This condition existed before I installed the lastest update but it has not gone away so it must be a setting. When I send a multipage document to my printer (laserjet 4000) from Acrobat Professional the printer will start up (wakeup), print one page, stop the printing process (explained below) and then restart/wakeup and print the next page. It could take 3 or 4 minutes to print a 10 page doc.
By stopping the printing process I mean the display will return to "Ready" the the printer will make that whining down sound like it is completed a print job and stop for 10 seconds or so. It then starts all over.
When I print from any other program the printer starts up and stays running until the print job is complete even if it is 50 pages or so.
Any thoughts?????
Thank you in advance!!

Many different factors could be causing this, but there's no way to tell from this end what it could be.
The first thing I always recommend is to check for driver updates online. Even if a newer version doesn't exist, you should download and reinstall the printer driver. Never hurts to do that, and sometimes it solves the problem... especially in cases like yours, where the printer model is old but the software you're working with has continued to be updated. HP seems to have the most trouble across different applications; these printers never seem to be fully compatible with all new software versions, no matter what software it is. Seems like there's always something that doesn't work quite right.
Assuming you've done that and it didn't help, next look at what you're printing.
Is the PDF heavy in graphics? How large are the graphics---what resolution are they and if in color, what color format (I use the demo version of Quite a Box of Tricks plug-in for this: http://www.quite.com/box/)? At what resolution are you printing? Do the images contain transparencies?
Have you (or whoever creates the PDFs) changed any color management options? What happens if you use the Quite plug-in to convert colors to greyscale? (The demo version will place an X over the page but you'll at least be able to tell whether it makes a difference.)
What is the PDF file size? Have you tried optimizing the PDF before printing?
All printers and printer drivers are different, giving different options in the Print dialog, so I can't give you anything very specific to look at there... but look for your print quality option. Is it set to "high" (or "best" or whatever your printer calls it)? If so, change it to normal quality and see if that speeds things up.
Those are just some things off the top of my head that you might want to look at. Please report back with your results.
