Computer print option will not work.

I have a HP Pavilion, Windows Vista. This just started happening about two weeks ago. Whenever I select the print option, i am automatically taken to "SAVE" as a file and if I decline and cancel save option the print option is not available. If I save as a file , I still am not able to print. I think this is a SETTING problem since I had a guest on my computor a few weeks ago.  I think the settings have been changed but i don't know where. Can you help?

Hi icantcu, welcome to the HP Forums. It sounds like you have either the "Microsoft XPS Document Writer", or a "PDF Writer" selected as the default printer. What printer do you actually have?  Is it an HP printer? Using a restore point as wb2001 suggested will most likely resolve it. Just before you try that however, take a look at this possibly quicker fix.
Try going into your printers folder to see if it is listed there. If it is (and the icon is not faded out) right click on it, and set it as the default printer. That will place a green check mark on it. Then try to print again and let me know if it behaves the same way.  How To Change Your Default Printer
If the icon is faded out, or if there is no listing for your printer you might have to reinstall it, or follow through the previous solution offered.
Let me know if this helps.

  • Print option is not working in listitem of sharepoint 2013

    Hi,
     We have a print option at list item level for printing the files which are checked in document library. The print option works seamlessly fine in sharepoint 2010 but the same is not working in sharepoint 2013. its not sending the files to printer for
    printing when print option is selected. 
    Has someone faced similar issue? Any help would be appreciated..

    Hi,
    There is no OOTB print option in SharePoint list item, print option should be added manually by custom code and the methods are various.
    Please provide more detail description about how you add print option on a list item for printing files in a document library. This will help to troubleshoot the issue.
    In addition, I add a content editor with simple code below to list item display form page, and it worked in my SharePoint 2013 environment:
    <code>
       <input onclick="window.print();return false;" type="button" value=" Print "/>
    </code>

  • Print central will not work

    Have tried everything.print central and print central pro will not print anything.

    Joseph,
    I have Print Central on my iPad and fortunately for me, it worked immediately.  One thing Print Cenral does offer is technical support, so Meg's suggestion to contact them would be the best option.  Of course, I'm sure I don't need to ask these questions, but you do have a wireless printer, correct?  You are connected to the internet through your router when attempting to print?  And you are using the same router the printer is connected to, right?

    Place it in recovery mode by:

    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
    Use iTunes to restore the device.

  • My print setup will not work and Fire fox only prints blank pages. Help?

    I tried to change the margins on my printer set up. Since I did this my printer will only print blank pages from Firefox. (If I open a PDF it prints fine) I have tried to go into print set up but it only comes up as a big black page. Any thoughts??

    Sorry, just to be clear:
    (1) Which did you use to make the change and which do not display correctly:
    orange Firefox button > Print > Page Setup<br>
    ''or''<br>
    classic File menu > Page Setup, or
    the Properties button in the Print dialog?
    (2) If you switch to a different printer, such as a PDF printer driver (many free ones you can install, such as [http://www.primopdf.com/ PrimoPDF] and [http://www.cutepdf.com/products/cutepdf/writer.asp CutePDF Writer]), can you regain access to Firefox's Page Setup dialog?

  • My book will not recognize my wireless. How can I get it to hook up to my wireless? It works on wireless evrywhere except my apartment.My room mate has the wieless working on her (non-mac) computer. It will not work opn mine.

    We have Comcast internet at my apartment. We have a wireless router. My room mates PC works on the wireless. My Mac book pro does not. However, My Mac book Pro DOES work anywhere else I take it. (Library, coffe house etc.) The tech from Comcast stated I need to have Apple take a look at it as it doesn't recognize the ip address. Thoughts?......

    I have went thru the exact same problems trying to upgrade the wireless card in my DV7.  It is very frustrating that the wireless card can't be upgrade to one that supports 5Ghz.  Here is my post from the network forum. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Wireless-Internet-Home/Unsupported-Wireless-LAN-6230/td-p/1419595 Doesn't sound like it is possible to upgrade to the Centrino 6230 without it being added the the "white list".  Sound like HP doesn't update the list after shipping the notebook. I feel your pain. HP needs to help out the consumer in upgrading the wireless cards.  I see we are not the only ones that have had this problem.

  • Connected Deskjet 6940 to computer with windows 7 64 bit, duplex print will not work?

    I have a Deskjet 6940 model C8970A. The Duplex printer function does not work. It will manually ask me to turn around all the pages to print on the other side. Before it would print front then back of page at a time.  I have Windows 7 64 bit on the new computer.

    Hi,
    The Duplex Unit is disabled by default, make sure to enable the accessory as following:
    Enter Control Panel > Devices and Printers
    Right click the HP Deskjet 6940 icon, then click Printer Properties.
    Select the Device Settings tab.
    Set the Duplex Unit as Installed, click OK.
    Now set Print On Both Sides as Automatically from the Printing Preferences Dialog.
    Please let me know if you may still experience any issue,

  • Printer will not work: error code 0xc19a0022

    Printer will not work: error code 0xc19a0022

    Hello citizenED,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are getting the error code " 0xc19a0022 " .
    I do have a few steps that we can try. 
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    I have also located a document that deals with a 'Problem with Printhead,' 'Printer Failure,' 'Ink System Failure,' or a '0x...' or a 'C2...' Error ...
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

  • Macbook pro stuck boots to "no bootable device found insert boot disk and press any key macbook," and at the same time, booting to the Startup Manager (holding option while booting) will not work either.

    Not only will holding Option while booting not work, but all of the other boot tricks (safe mode, single user mode, etc), will not work. I am at a loss. I also don't have an optical drive in this particular MBP. I have an SSD where it once was.

    I know you have tried other booting types, but have you tried booting into recovery mode? Cmd+R or internet recovery? By any chance have you recently deleted/resized/changed format to a partition? Even if it was not the main one? Have you installed third party applications that could have messed up your system files? Or some sort of RAID software, Fusion Drive etc.? All of this info will help us to pinpoint your issue quicker and help you. Any change you noticed before this happened (even if it seems small), that you consider worth telling us would be greatly appreciated.
    Also, do you have access to another Mac besides this one(preferably)? Or do you have access to a Windows computer (7 or 8 preferably)?
    Do you hear the chime before the message appears?

  • Computer Recognizes iSight in System Profiler, but will not work

    So I have a black MacBook and everything works fine except for the built-in iSight. I have tried reseting my computer and even did a factory restore, but to no avail. When I checked the system profiler, it recognizes my iSight. Here is what it says under the USB Device Tree:
    Built-in iSight:
    Product ID: 0x8501
    Vendor ID: 0x05ac (Apple Inc.)
    Version: 1.89
    Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
    Manufacturer: Micron
    Location ID: 0xfd400000
    Current Available (mA): 500
    Current Required (mA): 100
    When I open iChat or PhotoBooth, the green camera comes on but it displays only black. Obviously the computer knows that I have an iSight camera, but it just will not work. Is there something I can do, or is my camera just broken? Please help me out.

    So Welcome to Discussions, jwellie
    (0) Have you tried all relevant suggestions from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 ? Did you test iChat and Photo Booth in a new test user account? If you need help creating a test account, see this article:
      http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8235.html
    (1) You post that you "tried reseting my computer". If that means you doubt whether you properly reset your PMU (SMC) per this Apple article:
      http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    print out the instructions appropriate to you model, study them carefully, and perform the reset again.
    (2) Did you disconnect all AV devices (examples: eYeTV, iPods, scanners, etc.) before your tests? If you installed non-Apple software with any of those AV items, have you uninstalled the software IAW the supplier's instructions?
    (3) When you did your "factory restore", did you zero (securely erase) your disk before installing the factory software? One zero write is sufficient to be certain there is nothing left on your startup disk that may be causing your problem. If you need help with the procedure, see:
      http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/11.5/en/7090.html
    Zeroing the disk will take a long time (hours, depending on the size of your drive), so plan some time.
    (4) After zeroing the disk and a "factory restore", did you test iChat and Photo Booth before you added any non-Apple software items? This test will assure that you have not added some third-party item that is causing your problem.

  • I upgraded from leopard to lion and my epson printer will not work. I get a communication error

    I upgraded from leopard to lion and my Epson printer will not work. I get a error message comunication error. What can Ido to fix this I bought a new USB cord and it did no good.

    I suddenly had the same thing happen. I've had my new iMac for 3 months and at first my Epson Artisan 50 worked okay then yesterday I started getting the same error message other people on this support site have gotten. I tried ALL the advice given (deleating the Epson files from the library folder, etc. reinstalling older software) and nothing worked. With the newest iMac (and operating system) you cannot pick and choose which version of Epson software you want. You must use the 10.8 version or it simply will not open when you've downloaded it. Finally I found the comment above by den.thed and tried the OS X Mountain Lion: Reset the printing system suggested. As much as I hated to lose all my printing presets that took a lot of expiermentation to set up, I was desperate. I tried it and it worked. Now I just have to consult my old computer and try to recreate all my printing set ups.  So to others with Epson / Apple 10.8 issues this may help when everything else fails. Thanks den.thed for your advice.

  • Flash player will not work on my computer, would love advice

    I have windows vista.  When I visit a web page that requires flash, it instructs me to download it (even though I'm sure I have it ialready...).  I do so, it says it has downloaded successfully but I still cannot view the website.  I have uninstalled my current version of flash and reinstalled the latest version numerous times.  It even shows up in my list of programs.  But each time I visit a site that uses it, it tells me I need flash to view it.  Very frustrating.  And suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    This was very helpful - thank you.  I unchecked "active x filtering" and it seems to be working, under tools in IE.  a simple solution, that may have taken me days to figure out myself!  Hopefully it continues to work from thiis point forward.  Thanks!

  • My work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud, so I hard sync.  But then the new info on my iPhone does not backup to iCloud.  Is there a solution?

    I have a Macbook and iPhone and like to back up to iCloud.  However, my work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud.  The company has no plans to update anytime soon.  Since the calendar and contact list on my office computer are my primay ones, I hard sync through iTunes.  The problem is that any data synced from Outlook 2003 to the iPhone from iTunes does NOT later backup to iCloud.  Is there a solution?

    I have the same problem with Outlook 2003 and Win XP which the multinational organisation I work for standardises on and will probably stay with forever!
