Cannot Print in Windows 7 but i can scan??

I have a newer model macbook. Windows 7 installed via bootcamp. (before boot camp became compatible with windows 7). Any how I have an HP Envy printer,scanner,copier and it will scan just fine, but when i go to print something it gets hung up in the que and shows to be errored. it never prints anything. It sees the printer just fine. Everything looks great and functions properly except the printing.
The printer works flawlessly on the mac os, so i know it's not the printer.
I have just installed the latest drivers and still no luck.
Any suggestions.

It does sound like a driver issue, but if youve tried the latest driver then theres a couple of other things to try.
I've checked the hp support site and on the drivers page there is also a hp print diagnostics tool under the apps section for your printer. I tried running this and it has quite a few things it checks (connection, spooler, driver etc) and gives a few tips on how to resolve the issue if it finds any.
Not sure if this will get you any further forward as some of these tools arent always the best at resolving issues.
The other thing I would try after that would be to change the driver manually to another different HP printer.
This would only be to test the driver, and you can revert back after.
To do this, go into your devices and printers page, right click on your printer, choose printer properties, then go to advanced in the next page that appears.
Here you will see the current driver that your printer is useing with an option for a new driver.
If you select new driver then you'll get the add driver wizard, and on the next page you will have a list of manufacturers and printers to choose from, go to HP and choose something like HP business inkjet 1000, go to next, then finish. then try to print (it may all come out garbled if it prints, and print endless pages) if it does this then turn off your printer, remove the paper and it shouldnt print anything else after you turn it back on.
You will also want to use the previous steps to revert back to the driver that it should be after testing it like this.
You can also use this to re-install the driver manually.
And when you updated the driver, did you delete the previous printer that wasnt working, or let it update over the top? as it may have carried over whatever was causing your issue.

  • I cannot print from Thunderbird but i can with Windows live mail

    About a year ago I discontinued using Thunderbird because suddenly I could not print anything inThunderbird anymore. Now I use Windows Live Mail and printing emails is not a problem. Recently I installed Thunderbird again but still I cannot print emails using Thunderbird.

    Dear Matt,
    Thanks for your help.
    Being a layman, I am reluctant to follow your advice without assistance of a specialist.
    To prevent a misunderstanding I will try to summarize what happened.
    1) After using Thunderbird for a long time and having no problem at all to print emails, suddenly I could not print emails anymore.
    2) I do not have the same problem with Firefox nor with any other program.
    3) I have only one printer.
    4) After the problem occurred System recovery was used- for another reason - to start with a clean slate. Thunderbird was reinstalled: but still I could not print emails. When I use windows live mail I can print emails.
    Does this change your advice?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Cannot print from computer but I can print wireless

    I just connected this printer and I cannot print from my computer but I can print wireless from my phone.

    Hello dfreed,
    You can try some simple steps:
    Power your printer off.
    Unplug your router, and your modem.
    Plug your modem in and allow it to power on fully.
    Plug your router in and allow it to power on fully.
    Power your printer on.
    Refresh the HP ePrint Center site and verify that your printer has a status of "Connected" and "Ready".
    Some internet providers' modems are not always the most friendly to power off and on, so I understand if you need to skip that step.
    Please post again if any steps need any elaboration.
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

  • I want to use some Greek letters.  I found the font "Symbols" which  shows what I want but I cannot print in it.  I can print in all the other fonts.

    I want to use some Greek letters.  I found the font "Symbols" which  shows what I want but I cannot print in it.  I can print in all the other fonts.  What can I do?

    To type Greek, go to system preferences/language & text/input sources and check the box for Greek, plus the box for Show Input Menu in Menu Bar, plus the box for Keyboard Viewer.  The select Greek from the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen and type.  Select Keyboard Viewer from the same menu to see which key does what.  Do not worry about the font, that is taken care of automatically.

  • I cannot print word documents but can print all other documents

    Since updating my virus checker I cannot print word documents. I can print all other documents

    At this point my suggestion is to do a full uninstall of the old print driver and an install of the most recent version print driver which you can obtain at:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=40664...
    Please follow the uninstall procedure before installing the new driver.

  • How do I view what slide I'm on out of how many I have total in keynote? I know on powerpoint it's at the bottom right of the window but I can't find it on keynote nor can I find the option to make it appear. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Your steps so far are OK but you may want to try:
    1 Trash your user library Caches folder (House Icon with short name in Finder window (hard drive window)GOTO:House icon > Library folder > caches folder
    2 Trash the com.apple.Safari.plist file in User library > preferences folder > Safari.plist as well as removing the library Safari folder its self.
    3 you can selectivly re-install Safari 2.0 from your OS Tiger Install disk 1, (see Knowledge base article 301229 for how to just select the Safari Application) without doing a complete system Archive and Install.
    4. Create a new Test user account on the system and test how Safari responds in the Test user, see if its a user related issue and not system issue.
    5. Still no Safari response? have to do an Archive and install (not preserving user and network settings)article 107120
    PS. Issue may be related to actual internet connection connectivity, power cycle cable modem and router or airport if using one as well as the computer(keep unplugged for 3-5 min) and plug the cable modem in and then the router/airport then power on the computer. Do the Airport Admin utiliy (applications, utilities on HD_1)update.
    - do a hard reset of airport knowledge base article 108044(Express base) and 107451 (Extreme base)
    - Check with internet provider for connection issues "cannot find server" ect.

  • I cannot sign into yahoo, but I can get to other sites by using tabs on toolbar, but then I cannot sign out?

    '''bold text'''I cannot sifn into yahoo, but I can get to other sites by using tabs on toolbar, but then I cannot sign out. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it but I still have the same problem.

    That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links in that part of the screen not clickable.

  • Cannot print from Windows Live photo gallery

    I cannot print from Windows Live Photo Gallery.   The printer is connected and has a signal.

    This printer is an HP Photosmart Touchscreen.  I have since resolved the problem by uninstalling, and reinstalling the printer.  Not sure what the problem was, but it is now working.  Thank you for your help.

  • My Finder is going crazy.  Keep getting a message saying it quit unexpectedly and asking if I want to restore windows, but I can't get it to stop.  buttons don't work.

    My Finder is going crazy.  Keep getting a message saying it quit unexpectedly and asking if I want to restore windows, but I can't get it to stop.  buttons don't work.

    Something else you can try.
    In Finder hold down the option/alt key while selecting the Go menu item. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop. 
    If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you want to make your user library permanently visible, run the below command in Applications/Terminal.
    chflags nohidden ~/Library/
    You will need to do that after any updates.

    Steve,
    I appreciate your answer.  While it might work, I'm a bit hesitant to remove the other programs as a possible solution since they are all currently working.
    With Acrobat 9 Pro failing with the OS 10.7 upgrade, I'm hoping that there is a less severe solution.
    Since the trigger appears to be 10.7 and may have something to do with the discontinued support of Rosetta, I could be spending a few hours working on a reinstall without a change.  Yes, it might work.  The "might" is the part that makes me hesitate.
    Is anyone else out there on OS 10.7 and running Acrobat 9 Pro?  Any issues with anyone else?
    Thanks Steve.  I do appreciate your offering a solution.  I may end up trying it if nothing else comes together.

  • I have my printer email address, but I can not see my printer listed when I login to hpeprint.c​om

    I have my printer email address, but I can not see my printer listed when I login to hpeprint.com

    I will need some more information in order to assist. What model of printer do you have? Different printers have different features such as the ability to display the printer's ePrint address on the front panel of the printer. The website that the printer can be viewed at is eprintcenter.com. Click on this link here to see the sign in page. Have you signed up and register the printer at this site? Is the email address for the printer one that you have customized? Or is one consisting of what appears to be random letters and numbers?

  • TS3274 how come all of a sudden, I cannot send/receive messages, but I can receive e-mails in my Ipad?

    HOW COME I CANNOT /SEND RECEIVE MESSAGES, BUT I CAN RECEIVE EMAIL?

    Sending and receiving messages has absolutely no relation at all to sending and receiving email.
    Your iPad is not a cellular telephone.  It cannot send or receive SMS text messages.  It can only send or receive iMessages, which are messages to/from other Apple devices (only) on a WiFi or a cellular network that supports iMessage.
