EPrint / cloud print issue.

Hi,
I have 3 HP Officejet Pro 8600 + printers running on different network setups at 3 different locations.
When I try to print from remote locations using Google Cloud Print, it doesn't work.
When I login to HP eprint manager (https://www.hpconnected.com/us/en/#devices/) the printers are each listed as "Online - Problem with Printer". When I select "Problem with Printer" I receive the following error.
An unspecified problem was reported. Please check your printer. See printer front panel for information on resolving this condition
This is really beginning to frustrate me.
So that you are also aware, the problem occurs on devices including:
my Macbook Pro (OS X v10.9.3 - latest at this time) using Chrome (v35.0.1916.153 - latest at this time).
my iPad (iOS 7.1.1 - latest at this time) using Chrome (v35.0.1916.38 - latest at this time).
my Fiancee's iPad (iOS 7.1.1 - latest at this time) using Chrome (v35.0.1916.38 - latest at this time).
The devices are connected to the following modem/routers at the 3 different locations:
Netgear DGND3700v2 (with latest software)
Netgear DGN2200v3 (with latest software); and
D-Link DSL-2890AL (with the latest software)
And just so we are absolutely aware, my Xerox at the office works perfectly using cloud print!
Thanks.

Hi masinij,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. 
HP Connected sometimes gives a false report that there is an unspecified problem with the printer. HP has been able to reproduce the error.  If there was a true error, then the message would point to the problem (low on ink, out of paper, etc). The unspecified error message will not stop you from using ePrint and Google Cloud Print.
Are you able to send an email to each of the printers ePrint email address and have it print?  If it doesn’t print, what does your HP connected account say about the failed print job?  I’ve included the Learn About Print History in HP Connected for reference.
If the email prints successfully, that would indicate that ePrint is working.  I have included Google’s Cloud Print Help section.  It has a section titled “Troubleshooting Google Cloud Print”.

  • Cloud print issue

    Just to get this out there.I have been able to print using Google Cloud Print for  nearly a year with very few problems.Since mid June 2015 it stopped working. After many attempts and hours trying to solve the problem. I have found that Canon New Zealand are now aware of the issue.Google say that it's Canon problem and Canon are working on it.  I get the impression that Google made some changes and Canon haven't sorted their side of the network out.My MX726 printer won't register with Cloud Print and says "Can not connect to server"Canon New Zealand have the same problem with other Canon printers, though it took many calls to find this out. I can't get a response from Canon New Zealand or USA as to why Canon's own Emailprint won't work either even though I have no problem registering my printer with the service.

  • Communication between HP eprint and Google Cloud Print

    Hi,
    the communication between HP eprint and Google Cloud Print seems to be broken. At least for me.
    The documents do get printed when I print vio Chrome browser or Cloud Print dashboard -- but the status in cloud print remains as "submitted". It seems like somehow the HP eprint status doen't get reported back to cloud print. In HP eprintcenter the log says "printed".
    Well, I wonder who will take care of this problem ...  (Hope it will not result in fingerpointing only ...)
    Thanks for your support!
    Best,
    George

    Are you able to log back in later and the status at Google Cloud print update to reflect the true outcome of the print job? Or does it just remain as "submitted". Otherwise, if it is printing and showing in the log at ePrint Center (EPC) as printed, the issue would not be on the ePrint side but on Google's

    The printer goes through Google Cloud Print so that our school's chrome books can print. It just stoped working last night.
    On printer copying is working but remote printing is not.

    @Elliot_Labs ,
    I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details).
    If you are unfamiliar with how the Forum's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forum.

  • Everything I send to eprint (using google cloud print) prints double sided. How do I stop this?

    Everything I send to eprint (using google cloud print) prints double sided. How do I stop this? I'm using an HP Officejet Pro 8600
    thanks,

    Hello kanataorganics,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I see that when you use ePrint, via Google Cloud printing, the documents are printed two-sided. Are you using a computer, mobile device, Chromebook, etc, to access the printer?
    If you print from a computer, for example, not using Google Cloud print or ePrint, does it print two-sided on its own?
    You can check the Eco setting on the printer's front panel to ensure that the two-sided options are set to "Off".
    Check to make sure the printer has the most recent updates installed on the printer, Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates.

  • Eprint and google cloud print not working

    I have set up my printer for eprint and also set up google cloud print, however nither of them print. I can see the ones I have sent to the hp server using the printer email address but they do not print. I also have selected them and tried to print them from the server but they don't get through to the printer. The printer connects to the server and gives me back the correct email address. has anyone got any idears.

    Hello bennetg,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I see you are trying to print via ePrint and Google Cloud Print, but the printer never gets this command to do so. You are able to see the jobs in HPConnected and have verified the Email address. What is the error / statement on the print job in HPConnected?
    Typically, when an ePrint job doesn't send to the printer, the printer is in an error state. An error state could be out of paper, out put tray is closed, all the way up to paper jam.
    What is the model of printer you are attempting to use ePrint with?
    You can also go through these suggested steps in an attempt to clear this issue up: The HP ePrint Print Job Did Not Print.
    Look forward to hearing back.

  • Added HP ePrint printer to Cloud Print so why do I still need my PC running?

    I added the email address of my HP LaserJet Pro M1536dnf Multifunction Printer to Cloud Print, so why do I need to have my PC running when I print to it?  It doesn't seem to work if the PC isn't on.

    Hello Iria,
    I'm sorry to hear you are encountering difficulties when trying to print via Cloud Print. I'm presuming that you mean Google Cloud Print.
    To better understand the issue would you please provide me with some further information:
    1) How is your printer setup (USB cable, Ethernet, or wirelessly)?
    2) What operating system are you running?
    3) What type of device are you trying to print from when the computer is off?
    I have also included links to the Google Cloud Print Support Section.

  • EPrint and Google Cloud Print

    Based on this thread, it seems like enabling a Cloud Print Ready HP is as simple as going to the appropriate web page while logged into Google and then entering the printer's email address.
    Is it that simple?  What would happen if -- for example -- you were logged into the wrong Google account?
    I assume you still need to go to your list of printers and share it, right?

    If you are not logged into the correct account, you are right, the feature will not behave as expected. Other than that and other than having a correct printer, it really should be that issue. Are you having any issues with it or do you have any other questions? 
    Let me know!

  • HP Cloud Print Driver for Windows Server 2003?

    Hello,
    I have a unique (complicated) situation that I am trying to find a solution for.
    Here is the deal,
    My company is trying to set up a temporary remote branch location inside a building where we are unable to wire a network. Our solution is to use a wireless hotspot. Connected to this hotspot, we will have an iPad and an HP Laserjet M525.
    The iPad will be connecting to our Citrix environment over VPN through Citrix Receiver to deliver a desktop interface to the iPad. This is needed to access a few applications that are used at the branch.
    The problem now is printing, AirPrint wont work because the iPad is on VPN (and its at a windows interface, not the iPad's).
    I had the idea of using the HP printers built in ePrint function to print, so I set that up. So now sending at email to [email protected] prints to the HP printer attached to the wireless hotspot.
    Emaling to print works, but ideally, I would like this printer to show up in the Windows Devices and Printers, so that the user can just click print, choose the HP printer, and it will print, (with a delay obviously as its sending an email).
    So I downloaded the HP ePrint Windows Driver, which has to be installed on the main Citrix servers so that the users session can grab the printer and use it, turns out the driver doesnt work on Windows Server 2003. 
    My first attempt at a workaround was Google Cloud Print, which was fairly simple to connect to HP ePrint, but apparently the Google Cloud Print Driver doesnt work on Windows Server 2003 either.
    Is there a version of the HP ePrint Driver out there that works on Windows Server 2003?
    tldr:
    I would like to print to a remote HP printer that is connected to a wifi hotspot from our internal network. I need whatever software I download to be compatible with Server 2003.
    I understand this is over complicated but thanks for any input.

    I believe I understand your issue.  You would like to use a print driver to print to your HP ePrint enabled printer from your apps that are hosted by Citrix server.  While I believe this makes perfect sense, HP does not have a print driver that officially supports MS TS or Citrix that also supports the ePrint Cloud path.  The reason for this is the ePrint windows driver is a "dynamic" print driver (similar to HP UPD dynamic mode) that handles multiple print paths (tcp/ip, wireless direct, cloud, etc) in a single driver instance by dynamically changing the port the print queue is bound to so the port is specific to the delivery path.  For example, if printing to a network printer it will use a MS Standard tcp/ip port.  If printing to the ePrint cloud a custom port is used, etc.  Well, if you have lots of Citrix users trying to print to a single print queue, but to different destinations, the users would be colliding with each other when they print by having the driver trying to change the print queue to different print ports at the same time.
    What you could do is install an ePrint print queue on the citrix server if you can control the access to that queue to just your local branch users.  Also, if you only have on ePrint enabled printer the situation is even better as only one port will be needed by that queue.  You can find the ePrint software at www.hp.com/go/eprintsoftware   You might want to download the version of the driver that supports XP as Windows 2003 is very similar print system.
    NOTE:  this is not a supported environment for this driver.  You would be using it without warrenty or support and no promises are being made here.
    Good luck if you choose this path and please post back the results.  Thanks!

  • Setting Up Google Chrome Features for Cloud Printing from an Android Device

    These steps are organized for optimal setup procedure and to decrease the time it would take to set this option up from start to finish. This is a lengthy process and is more for possibly troubleshooting issues that may arise during the setup of Google Chrome's Cloud Print feature. However, if you have an Android phone or tablet and are interested in being able to print virtually anything at anytime from anywhere from your phone to any brand of printer regardless of setup, there is a way. And this is how:
    Open/Install Google Chrome onto a computer
    Sign in with personal email to access the same Google Chrome account you intent to print from
    Download Google Drive as an external storage you can access from anywhere
    Open Google Chrome Settings (three lines stacked on top of each other)
    Scroll down to the bottom of settings and click "Advanced Settings"
    "Sign in/add printers/manage printers" are three of the print options you may see here 
    Follow this link for information on:
    adding a classic printer to this option:  https://support.google.com/cloudprint/answer/1686197?rd=1
    how to add an HP ePrint email:  https://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/printers.html#info-hp
    on registering the email of that printer (HP registration page):   https://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/setup-hp.html
    8.  add the printer to this section of Google Chrome
    9.  at the bottom of the page you will see "Send a test page/print test page" (that will be useful later)
    10. at the top of this page is the option to share this printer with other Google Chrome users
    11. Open Google Drive from www.google.com (likely displayed at the top of the webpage)
    Can create a new document of any file type, upload, draw, etc
    Leave computer on if intending to print from off the network or another location
    The next steps are in regards to printing from a mobile device:
    Install/open Cloud Print App
    Add personal email account associated with Google Chrome
    Select printer management if on the same network as the printer
    Select Web tab and Google Drive if not on the same home network
    Find earlier test page in Google Drive Documents
    To locate other documents one could find many applications within this app or
     In another app like Documents To Go, you can select to send previously saved documents (like one might send an email on the Android) to the Cloud Print app to open, view, and print
    Print Test Document – this function means the printer has officially been added now
    In Google Drive, but within the Cloud Print app, you can select the printer that was added to this network or from "Printer Management Options."
    There are many ways to determine if your printer is still connected (offline, ready, etc.) but after confirmation that the printer is available, print jobs rest in the print queue until the printer receives the command to print.  Then the documents are stored and available for reprinting.
     Converts most print jobs to .pdf but prints most file formats from other applications as well
    In Printer Management advanced settings
    You can add a contact from the phone to use this printer
    Set as default
    See an extensive page of setup and printing options
    *After a test print while the computer was off the document did not print and the printer appeared offline until approx. 4 min after computer was rebooted, then the document printed automatically.
    Also if a document does not print, the troubleshooting guide on the phone suggested logging out of Google Chrome Cloud Print but I was unable to find that option it was suggesting (unable to log out)
    To completely finish adding any additional Google Chrome accounts that wish to share this printer using the suggestion in step 10, you must log into the email that was added and select ADD PRINTER from within the email that was sent for the confirmation and follow the link and instructions on how to do this from your email.
    Google Chrome and Google Drive support Windows, MAC, and Linux
    You can also change share options, privacy settings, etc. but if you choose to go with the two-step verification process, you may not be able to add your Google Chrome email account to the app without a 16 digit code generated within Google Chrome Privacy Settings for your app (not recommended)
    Now you have the option to also email any document to either the Cloud Print App or HP ePrint from the phone/tablet without actually accessing the app first.  Locate the document, press the menu button for more options, select "Send to" and a list of available apps will appear.  Choosing Cloud Print or HP ePrint sends the document or photo directly to the "print" function within the apps, instead of opening the app first and then searching for what it is you want to print.
    **computer connected to printer must be on**
    Requirements:  a) Google Chrome, Google Drive, and Cloud Print mobile app  b)  These steps outline the use of an Android device on the network for setup  c) will need the computer connected to the printer to be on at all times   d) go to this webpage http://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/  if you have any more questions.
    Available features of Cloud Print App
    a.  Print all file formats from Google Drive (uploaded or create)
    b.  Has an internal notepad and drawing tool
    c.  Prints off all contacts and phone numbers as well as specified text messages
    d. The scan option actually just means take a picture
    e. Without Cloud Print Pro you get 5 days to test the features of printing Facebook pictures, Drop Box and Schedules before those features are no longer available

This took me many hours to get setup, troubleshoot, and prepare a document that is simple and easy to understand. These are literally step-by-step instructions on how you could be able to print from any Android device to any printer connected to a computer that has Google Chrome.  You would then be able to use the Cloud Print App without having to use HP ePrint to print to any printer connected to any computer (USB or wireless) basically allowing you to print virtually anything from your Android.

  • Printing via eprint only prints in black and white, not colour

    If I have a connection to my printer via USB cable or my home wireless network I can print in colour without specifying it in the print job (I.e. it appears to be the default). However, if I send a document to my printer via email using hpeprint then my documents always print in black and white.
    I have an hp laserjet pro 400 color m451nw.
    Any help would be gratefully received coz this is driving me crazy!

    No Problem!  I am glad to hear that ePrint is printing in the desired color option at this point.   I see you are now having an issue with color vs b&w on Cloud Print.  Are you meaning Google Cloud Print?  If so, are you printing using Google Cloud Print from a computer or from a mobile device?
    If you are using a mobile device, then are you using the Google Cloud Print App?  What is the OS type of the device? (Apple iOS, Android, Windows mobile, etc)
    I can provide you with the correct steps to change these settings, but need to know the method of which you are printing.
    Have a wonderful day,
    Jason

  • Change owner of HP eprint enabled printer

    I was forced to change my Google account name (it was an old account) when I signed up for Google  for Education. The old account was deleted and this was the account that was associated with my HP e printer. I cannot access the printer via a Chromebook now. I see "account was deleted and no longer recoverable" when I try to sign in with the old account 
    I see the owner of the printer on the HPConnected site is the account that was deleted. I need to be able to delete the owner of the printer  and use my new account for ownership.

    Hi @nanielee,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums.  I understand that your HP printer was added to an old Google account that has been deleted.
    To reclaim the printer you will need to disable then re-enable the web services on the printer.  You will need to setup ePrint again.  If the printer had a customized ePrint email address, you will need to create the printer a new customized ePrint email address.  I have included the Remove ePrint and HP Printables in HP Connected document to walk you through disabling the web services.
    To setup ePrint again I have included the Getting the Printer Claim Code document and the Setting Up a Custom Email Address for HP ePrint document. 
    Once ePrint is setup again, you will need to add the printer to your new Google account.  I have included the Using Google Cloud Print with your HP Printer document for reference, as by the sound of things you are very aware how to do this step. 
    Please let me know the outcome.

    When the printer is connected to your wireless network, we need to setup the ePrint feature of the printer before connecting it to Google Cloud Print.  To start please Get the Printer Claim Code.  Once you have the web services information sheet, please Set Up a Custom Email Address for ePrint.
    Now let’s connect the printer with Google Cloud Print.  I have included the Setting Up and Using Your HP ePrint-Capable Printer with a Chromebook document.  I’ve also included Google’s document for setting up Cloud-Ready Printers.  Once you have the printer connected to Google Cloud Print please follow the steps in Google’s Print a page document to start printing.
