Error in print queue

scan doctor states printer is installed but not connected. have used this printer for years, problem started when i deleted it. i use a usb cable to laptop. wont even print test page. any ideas.

Try to stop and restart your printer spooler.
1. Click on START MENU on computer.
2. Type in SERVICES in the search bar
3. Click on it. Go down to Printer Spooler.
4. Stop it and restart it, and see if it prints.

Error accessing Print Queue Webservice

I am implementing a .Net client for the SAP ByD Print Queue service for 3.5
I got the documentation and wsdl from here:
https://www.sme.sap.com/irj/sme/community/collaboration/wiki?path=/display/AMI/PrintQueueWebServiceAPI
Authentication seems to work, but when I make the first call to GetAllQueues() I get an error:
System.ServiceModel.ProtocolException was caught
Message=A reply message was received for operation 'GetAllQueues' with action 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing/PrintQueueWebService3/'. However, your client code requires action 'http://sap.com/xi/DocumentServices/Global/PrintQueueWebService3/GetAllQueuesResponse'.
Source=mscorlib
I had a similar issue when I first tried to integrate the ecommerce webservice, and this was caused by an incorrect wsdl.
Any ideas how to solve this?

The endpoint should be correct, because I follow the instructions in the API document.
https://<HOSTNAME>/sap/bc/srt/scs/doc/printqueuewebservice3
The wsdl does not contain any binding information. Now I use the same binding configuration as for the ecommerce service.
Maybe here is something different?

Acrobat 7 Professional - PDF Writer errors out in Print Queue

Hello,
I'm an IT Technician. We've just imaged many of our machines and several of our secretaries use Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional so I re-deployed that application, along with the 7.1.3 update. Everything works fine for me, including some of our test accounts. For this secretary, though, every time she goes to print something to 'Adobe PDF' the progress bar flashes quickly, it errors out in the print queue, and no document is created. If I log in, or use another account with similar rights to her's, it works just fine. I have removed Adobe Reader from it, done all the update, even gave her full control over that printer but still no luck.
Any ideas? Thanks!

When you print to the Adobe PDF printer, it normally creates a PS file in a specific location and AcroTray then notes the PS file and proceeds to finish the job of calling Distiller. Doing the Print-to-file was just to check that the basic functions work. If they do not, then which one fails - the print to file or Distiller. These steps should help isolate the problem and give you some direction to go. Sometimes it is just easier to reinstall or repair the current setup. If the person is not logged in as an administrator, is it possible that the installation restricted the application to only administrators?

Error message in shared printer queue.

I am now receiving an error message in my Macbook printer queues whenever I try to print from this Macbook to a shared Epson C120 printer attached by USB to my PowerMac G5.
When I highlight the queue line I wish to print, an error message reads : can't open `/private/var/spool/cups/tmp/50cea92d5d0a0'.
This has just recently happened. I have checked and rechecked my printer/fax options and my sharing options in both computer's systems and everything is as it should be. I can print just fine if I am using my PowerMac G5.
I Googled the error message and found a reader's fix from an Apple Support forum which I hoped would work. This was was to delete the printer in both computer's System Prefs, restart both computers and then put back the printer and sharing in both computer's System Prefs. This did not work.
I have opened http://localhost:631 and read the CUPS pages but this is a bit too technical for me and I did not know waat to look for to allow the printer to be shared..
I have made no changes to either Mac so I don't know why this just started. I used to have no trouble printing from my Macbook.
What do I need to do?
Walter
PowerMac G5 running Leopard 10.5.8 with an Epson C120 printer attached to it by USB cable.
Mackbook running Snow Leopard 10. 6.8.

Mike,
Thanks for referring me to //support.apple.comkb/HT3771.
I carefully read the support.apple.comkb/HT3771 article and found a critical error in my Macbook Sharing Prefs page.
I realized that in Macbook's System Prefs under Shared, the two square boxes (printer and users) are empty and the + and - symbols below the boxes are grayed out so I cannot enter the name of my computer in the printer box nor can I enter a user's name in the users box.
I now remember that when I was able to successfully print from the Macbook these two boxes had info in them. The printer box had the name of my Epson printer and the user box said Everyone - can print.
I also think that the required info for these two boxes was automatically inserted.
So I now I will somehow have to get info in these two boxes in order for me to use shared printing with my Macbook
The issue is How to do this.
The Macbook's System Prefs for Print&Fax appears to be OK. I can add or delete my Epson printer. Clicking the + button under the printer box always shows my printer in this pref.
I also see that in the Macbook's print queue the jobs all start with Hold for Authorization. Does this mean anything to you?
I appreciate you help,
Walter

PDF Virtual Printer Queue has doc print errors but PDF's created

This has probably been answered already somewhere here, but I can't seem to find a current solution.
I am using Windows 7 64bit Pro and Acrobat X Pro. When printing to a PDF from any source - word, excel, email, the PDF is created correctly, but my PDF Printer Queue shows a document print error and leaves the doc in the queue.
This wasn't happening before so I am not sure if it's a known issue that an update has fixed or something else. If there is another thread that has the answer, let me know. Or a link to the fix would be great! Thanks.

Hi, try instead: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/set-default-printer-print-center.html
It works for current OS versions. If other dialogs appear, continue to add the printer.
The printer will be called localhost. Select it to print from eTax and choose the option to " Print to pdf"
Directions previous were to go to the manufacturers site, not the Apple site for the install, but its ok, link above is a better alternative.
Apologies….
Cheers

HT3669 My macbook pro does not print through my PC to my EPSON RX 500 after loading OS X 10.7.4. It shows on the print queue "error" However, it will print if I directly connect my laptop to this printer via the USB connection. Any ideas?

It's all about setting up what ever version of windows you have running on your pc to share the printer. If you still get stuck post in a windows forum for help.

Acrobat Pro 8 Print queue error, but pdf is created fine...

I'm running xp pro, and acrobat pro 8, every time I try to print a pdf, I get an error with the print queue although it still makes a pdf every time! I've tried the repair tool in acrobat and also uninstall/reinstall but I get the same deal every time.
Its more an annoyance than anything as I still get the pdf files but I'm thinking something must be wrong to throw up an error every single time!
Any help would be good :)

Alternatively, look at using digital signatures and the security
policies. This method ensures that only the person with the matching
certificate can open the file and have specific options ...
It would involve swapping digital ID files but once set-up, it's very
powerful ... just uses Acrobat 8 and even Reader ..

Printing to Adobe PDF - non-existant print queue or hanging up error

When printing to a pdf, the process is getting stuck in the printing/saving part of the process. As the attached image will show, the pop-up window shows the file name in the Document Name list, but it defaults to the file entitled "06-2013 Newsletter" (my apologies for all the black scribbles; they're there for privacy's sake). I am unable to select the name of the file I'm printing (in this case, "Combined"); it would appear that the pdf is trying to save into a file that already exists. I thought that perhaps the print queue needed to be cleared, but under Devices and Printers, "See what's printing" for the Adobe PDF printer shows nothing in the queue. The task then comes to a standstill and I am unable to continue.
After researching the issue, the only advice I can find is to do a "hard delete" of everything printing or spooling on my server to hopefully "force out" the stuck jobs, but this is not really an option during a busy workday when multiple jobs are printing at any given time. Is there a more simple solution that I am missing?

Well, after restarting my machine the print queue was cleared of all the dead jobs, but when attempting to print to PDF it hung up again, and then did the same as before - all subsequent jobs tried to save as the filename of the first job in the queue. Very annoying!

How to use Linux Print queue in client_text_io.fopen to print from Windows

We have a forms application deploed on LINUX (Oracle application server 10g).
I have to print a file from local windows PC to a linux Print Queue from forms
I have the following code
PROCEDURE file_to_printer (i_filename_output IN VARCHAR2
,i_network_printer IN VARCHAR2) IS
l_line VARCHAR2(2000);
l_fileid_output client_text_io.file_type;
l_fileid_print client_text_io.file_type;
BEGIN
l_fileid_output := client_text_io.fopen (i_filename_output,'R');
l_fileid_print := client_text_io.fopen (i_network_printer,'W');
WHILE 1 = 1 LOOP
client_text_io.get_line (l_fileid_output, l_line);
client_text_io.put_line (l_fileid_print, l_line);
END LOOP;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
client_text_io.fclose (l_fileid_output);
client_text_io.fclose (l_fileid_print);
END file_to_printer;
Everything works fine if I use a windows printer like \\machine\printer.
I want to use a Linux printer and specified the print queue as
\\machine\print_queue_name. It's not working
and I get error ORA-302000 on the following line
l_fileid_print := client_text_io.fopen (i_network_printer,'W');
and if I give only the queue name no error but it's not printing.
Could you please tell me how to use a Linux/Unix print queue in this situation

the simplest way is to edit the interface file (look in /etc/lp/interfaces for existing printers). Each script is
run per print job where stdin has your print data, and stdout is going to your print device. You can just
send the output to a file instead (assuming you can create a file in the windows directory from the solaris
box). If it's a network share, you could use smbclient.

"Error while printing." over network

I am trying to print from a mac mini running 10.4.11 to a printer on a macbook pro running 10.5.3. The printer is using the Laserjet 4 Gutenprint driver. When I connect the printer directly to the mac mini, everything works fine. I can use the PDF export options on the print dialog just fine. When I try to print over the network "Processing..." flashes up and I immediately get "Error while printing." I have tried resetting the print queue on both machines, (turning sharing off and on) rebooting, deleting and installing the printer on either machine multiple times. I've repaired permissions on both machines and the cups error_log gives me literally no information when that message pops up. Help!?

I've also noticed that while the network printer is selected, I can't use the preview feature in the print dialogue, nor do the PDF features work. I get the same "Processing..." then "Error while printing." In addition, with the network printer selected, when I try to print from page 1 to 1 of a multipage document it tells me "Error: Invalid Page Range. The number is out of range. Resetting back to last known valid entry." it resets it to 1 to 1 and gives me the same error if I click print.

USB printer on Airport Express via Bonjour: print queue no longer works

This is a variation of similar postings on this forum, but hopefully provides more information to allow others to pinpoint the problem.
Have been using Intel iMac 10.4.8 now upgraded to 10.4.10. Two printers attached: 1 via USB and a 2nd via USB/Bonjour on Airport Express. Both working flawlessly. 2 days ago, an ADSL Internet outage occurred. When this was reestablished an hour or so later, everything was back to normal, EXCEPT that the USB/Bonjour/Airport printer no longer works. When jobs are sent to it, the printer queue stops and a red "!" appears in the dock on the queue. Restarting the queue just brings back the red "!" again.
Have done all the usual things:
1. Checked cables, restarted iMac, restarted printer, reset Airport.
2. Have confirmed the printer works find if moved to a direct USB port. So the problem is not the printer.
3. Have upgraded the Airport firmware to 6.3. Works just fine as a network access point. So the problem is not the Airport itself.
4. Have deleted, added the printer, renamed the printer - none of these things helped (this was suggested by some postings on the forum)
5. Have tried every combination of which item is powered up first (this was suggested by some postings on this forum)
Have confirmed (by checking CUPS Error Log, as well as by Internet Connection Diagnostics) that the problem is that the iMac can no longer connect to the printer when printing on the local host if it is connected via USB/Bonjour/Airport. However, it can find the printer for adding a printer during setup. So Bonjour is working, but the printing is not.
There are lots of similar postings of people having problems with printers previously working, but then stopping working on an Airport Expresss/Extreme. I hope the above scenario, which is a very simple network topology, and the fact that the iMac and printer and Airport all work correctly on their own, is of help. It does look as if the problem is in the Airport Extreme, and was triggered by the WAN outage, and not fixed by printer reinstallation or firmware upgrade.
Looking forward to someone with a clever suggestion...
LeslieB

What did you use to discover the printers on both Mac and PC. Did you use Bonjour for both?

HP LaserJet 5200 Print Queue Disappears or Won't Print Jobs

This problem has been ongoing for years, and can usually be overcome by either power-cycling the printer or cancelling the queue and reprinting. I have searched for nearly 6 years for a solution to this, but there was never anything that worked so we just muddled through it. But for some reason within the past few days has now escalated to the point that the printer won't print at all.
For starters: we're on Mac 10.8.3. That really shouldn't make much difference, however - as this problem has been around with other computers running older OS as far back as 10.4. Currently, the HP 5200 LaserJet is hooked up to USB (no Jet Direct card) and is shared on the network. No updates have been made (nor are there any available) for 6-9 months at least on the computer or printer. The only consistent part of this issue is that regardless of computer (we have hooked up three of them) the same problem persists at the same workstation (we changed it up today to troubleshoot - see below).
I have performed the following troubleshooting in the past two days:
• Installed and re-installed the printer software three times.
• Reset the printing system in the Print/Fax System Preferences five or six times.
• Power-cycled the printer, deleted the queue and reprinted approximately 30 times.
• Turned off printer sharing and turned on printer sharing to no effect either way.
• Restored the printer to factory settings to no effect.
• Tried running with the 5200 PPD and a Generic PS Printer PPD, no effect either way.
• Hooked the printer up directly to the computer and through a powered USB hub, no effect either way.
• Hooked up four different USB cables, two of which are from computers using printers that are not experiencing any connectivity issues.
• In the HP Utility, when hooked up direct via USB, the Service ID, FW Version, Serial and Product numbers come up as 'unknown'
• In the HP Utility, when hooked up via sharing the HP Utility will not work at all with the printer.
Most of the time I get the error of "Printing-Waiting for printer to become available" when sending a document. It doesn't matter if I send it from TextEdit, Safari, Chrome, or any Adobe program - it doesn't print.
Sometimes the document will act as if it's printing, and the light on the printer blinks - then it disappears without printing. The Print Log from the printer does not show anything being printed.
Prior to this new problem, we had an older 5200 printing exhibiting the same escalated issues. When I went to upgrade the firmware (Firmware date code of 20090716), the computer and printer lost connectivity and the formatter board became damaged. HP replaced our printer with another 5200 - which is now exhibiting the same issues. The new printer carries a Firmware date code of 20071017.
So, under these similar circumstances, upgrading the firmware is not an option as I don't think I can upload to the printer without losing the connection and damaging the formatter board again.
At this point, the printer simply won't print regardless of what I do.
I have moved the printer to another Mac using 10.6.8 and it is currently printing, but that is only a temporary fix. Edit: 3.5 hours later, the printer is exhibiting the same issues, and I am currently SOL on printing anything again.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for replying - I was able to print a configuration page from the printer. I am not sure how to send text directly to the printer (assuming you mean by bypassing the print command window) - if someone has this info for a Mac, I can give it a try.
Additionally, I forgot to report the troubleshooting using the HP Utility (which made me think of when dansdaduk suggested printing directly to the printer):
• When hooked up direct via USB, the Service ID, FW Version, Serial and Product numbers come up as 'unknown'
• When hooked up via sharing the HP Utility will not work at all with the printer.
For a long while, I thought it may be something with the printer, but I believe it has to do with a USB connection conflicting in some way on the Mac OS, especially considering that we have had two printers manufactured at two different intervals across several years exhibiting the same issues. It's the only constant that remains, even when hooked up directly and not shared, or hooked up and shared across different computers regardless of the OS.

HP LaserJet 1100 - stuck printer queue

I'm having problems printing documents. The first document will always print OK after a reboot but any subsequent job is being queued and the printer paused. Starting Printer Setup Utility and releasing pause won't unblock the queue and restart printing.
The first job in the queue will sometimes eventually start on its own but that can take several minutes so the only way to keep a decent print flow is to keep disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable as this always clears it.
I'm using an elderly HP 1100 laserjet for which there aren't any HP Mac drivers so I'm using Guttenprint 5.0.0.U drivers.
Anyone know anything about this - specifically whether there's a fix for it?
20" iMac Intel core2 - 2.16Gb Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Thanks for this Greg.
I must confess to being very optimistic when I went to this site, downloaded the driver and installed. However, the same problems still persists.
The only update is now when the second (or subsequent) queue sticks, the queue is showing this error: "The printer is reporting an error!"
The original parallel lead for this printer had an HP mini parallel connector to connect to the printer. USB wasn't supported but when I added a parallel/USB adaptor lead, everything worked fine under Windows. I've only had a problem since switching to Mac at the beginning of this year so I reckon the lead probably has a lot to do with it. Shame really as the 1100 has some miles left in it and I've also got plenty of toner for it!

Nothing Shows up in my Printer Queue

I have a HP Colour Laserjet CP1515n. I've connected through a USB cable not Via the network. I have installed it and all works fine besides from one thing. Whenever I send a document to print it prints straight to the printer. Therefore nothing goes in to the Print Queue. I then can't delete documents if they are by mistake etc. Does anyone have an Idea as to why this is happening?
Thanks

Yes, I have been through the documentation. I have isolated the problem to the SGD Server by working my way through the checklists. The results on the check for display say:
- Printing services available
- Jobs spooled: 0
Total jobs spooled: 0
I have checked the Printing tab section of the admin console and everything is in order there.
I am not using an array just a single host and trying to configure for the first time.
Ghostscript is found and worked in the scripts.
I tried printing the testpage using the script and I also tried direct but received nothing on the client.
Using the lpstat -t command I get the following:
scheduler is running
system default destination: tta_printer
device for tta_pdfprinter: lpd://acrtek-lab.com/tta_pdfprinter
device for tta_printer: lpd://acrtek-lab.com/tta_printer

printer tta_pdfprinter is idle. enabled since Mon Apr 19 15:04:29 2010
printer tta_printer is idle. enabled since Mon Apr 19 16:13:16 2010
I have verified that print jobs are transferred from the Application hosts to the SGD Server. I am able to locate them in /opt/tarantella/var/spool where they stay for awhile then they disappear. If I watch the CUPS console I see the job appear and it shows as completed then it appears again as a held job and then eventually aborts.
it appears that what ever is supposed to be sending the job to the client is either not receiving the job or is failing but I am not sure what and cannot find any errors that point to a problem.

Jobs show twice in print queue - won't delete and won't print

I have an HP Laserjet P1006 running on a HP laptop running Windows 7 64 bit. Printer has worked fine for 8 months but recently ran into problems.
When I send a print job to it, the printer doesn't print. If I open up the print queue, the job shows up twice. If I try to delete the jobs, they don't delete. I can use the HP Print Diagnostic Utility to get the jobs cleared out of the queue, but the same thing happens the next time I try to print something.
A Few Other Items to Note:
- I don't get any error lights on the printer.
- I brought home a laptop from home running XP and installed the printer using the CD. The printer worked fine with that computer, so I don't think it's a problem with the printer hardware.
- I have tried uninstalling the printer, both using the CD that came with it and with the latest drivers/software from the website. Didn't do anything (same problem occurs when printing a test page).
- HP Print Diagnostic Utility doesn't find anything wrong. Likewise, if I right click on the printer and click Troubleshoot, that doesn't help either.
- I've tried restarting the print spooler, but that didn't do anything.

Hard Reset – While printer is powered ON, pull the power cord from the printer then from the wall. After 30 seconds reconnect power to wall and printer. This will trigger a ‘dirty power up’ and restore the printer to a known good condition (if it is possible). No user settings are lost with a ‘hard reset’.
This ‘Hard Reset’ is one of the most powerful tools to use when the printer hardware is not functioning properly!
Although I am working on behalf of HP, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.
