Excel 2007 will not print

Hi - I have an HP Pavillion dv2000 running 32 bit Vista and an HP Photosmart C4280 Al-in-One. The two get along quite well except for Excel 2007. The printer will print Word and .pdf documents but when I try to print Excel I get a message saying there are no printers installed. This problem started about 6 months to a year ago. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi - Since you can print from other apps, here are a couple of suggestions.
- Try installing the printer driver that comes with Vista. Go into Control Panel/Printers, choose Add Printer, HP and select your printer model (I believe Vista comes with a specific choice for your printer). If you don't see your printer in there, you might re-install the printer driver that came with the printer.
- For whatever reason, Excel is not reading the printers installed in Windows, so I'd recommend re-installing Excel. Excel should be looking to Windows for a list of installed printers.
Hope that helps.

Officejet Pro 8620 will not print old documents, only newly created ones

When I use the driver designed for the printer I can only print documents (Word, Excel, and Publish 2007) that are new, as long as I have not copied and pasted or inserted sheets from previously created documents. It will not print any Outlook 2007 emails but it prints PDF's fine. Also, the printer works fine with driver for deskjet 990c but limits my options on page size and the margin on the right side won't change and are way to big for most of my documents. Any thoughts?

This is very peculiar @bmphr

OfficeJet 4500 will not print two sided over network

I'm running on Windows 7 with an OfficeJet 4500 G510n-z over WiFi. Printer works great except that it will not print two sided. We've used a non-WiFi 4500 to print two sided before. With the new printer the first pages print and the pop-up shows on the laptop (prompt to flip paper over) but nothing happens. The second pages never print.
I've run all of the HP print and network diagnostics. Everything appears to be OK.

The solution below was found on the sticky post at the top of this board "Fixes and Workarounds from HP"
I think the patch below only applies if you have the original printer software installed, I assume this issue was fixed in later versions of the printer software, Read the patch information carefully.

Will not print black ink after installing new HP cartridge

HP Officejet 4620, Windows 7....installed new HP black ink cartridge and now it will not print black at all. I followed all online tips in the help section, even cleaned the vents on the cartridge itself but only prints blank page. No error messages are shown. Diagnostics ran and says all is working correctly. Also cleaned printheads through 2 cycles still nothing. Any other suggestions? It was working just fine before inserting new black cartridge.
This question was solved.

I just spent 1 1/2 hours on the phone with HP Tech Support but it was worth it. They are sending a replacement printer no charge to me (expect I chose to pay extra for next day shipping). Even though my printer is out of warranty!!! I normally buy HP products anyway but will definintely stay with this brand based on their excellent customer service and support. Thank you once again for your initial help online and for directing me on the right path!!!

Acrobat Pro 8 will not print some graphics, any ideas?

I am printing from Word 2007 to an Acrobat Pro 8 PDF. When I do so, some of the graphics will not show up. They seem to be in the document as when I highlight them, they show they are blocked and I can actually copy the stuff by highlighting it and copying, but it will not print or display.
This seems to be a new problem, as it worked fine, then I am not sure what trigered it, but now it will not print all the graphics. The graphics are just JPGs
Note the document looks good on the screen, but when I create a PDF or print the PDF, it will not print.
I also see this a lot when I use my PrintShop Mail program, which uses Acrobat to genterate it files.
Any ideas?

Geoff

Since Acrobat is not an Apple product, you would probably be better off posting your question on Adobe's own forums as they would be geared more toward the issue than an Apple forum:

Quickbooks program will not print reports. I think it is an Adobe/Pages issue but I don't know how to resolve it. Help!!!

Quickbooks reports will not print. I think it has something to do with Adobe/Pages \but I don't know how to fix the issue. Help!

I don't see how it could have anything to do with any Adobe app or Pages. QuickBooks is its own thing and does not rely on any other apps to print.
I opened a couple of random reports and had no trouble sending it to a laser printer. Also no issue saving them to text file, or clicking the Export button at the top right of the report and having it open directly into Excel.

Times New Roman font will not print on HP Officejet Pro 8610

My new HP Officejet Pro 8610 will not print documents, spreadsheets, or printer test pages containing Times New Roman font (of any size). It does not put a job in the print queue. In Excel, I receive the "Generic_2_Q294552" error message. My setup: An HP Pavilion Elite computer NY809AV-ABA e9119t; running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1; HP Laserjet 5L, HP PCS 1310, and HP D4360 all print the font just fine. My new printer: HP Officejet Pro 8610, firmware revision FDP1CN1502AR, connected via USB cable. [Also connected via ethernet cable to cable modem.] What I have done so far to troubleshoot the last 3 days: Reinstalled the printer (3 times), the most recent today with an installer issued today; rebooted the printer; rebooted the computer after each significant change; updated the firmware in the printer; tried two different USB cables; tried printing the fonts in Microsoft Word 7, Microsoft Excel 7, and directly from the font file; reinstalled the Times New Roman fonts from backup; visited the forums and tried all of the solutions I could for any similar problem; tried the winprint, hpzppw71, and hpzpplhn print processors with both RAW and NT EMF 1.008 data types; found and repaired all problems I could find with any hardware and software, as well as updating all software to the latest version.

Thanks for trying to help. I am happy to report my experiments and results. Microsoft Word:I open a blank document. Type something in. Select the entire text. Change the font. When I change to some fonts (those listed on my DOES print) the document shows up in the print queue and prints. When I change to the other fonts (those listed as DOES NOT print) nothing happens. It just sits there. No messages. No crash. Nothing in the print queue. I can walk away for hours (as I have done) and come back and nothing has happened. When I change back to a DOES print font it prints. Change it back to a DOES NOT print font and it doesn't. Repeatable. Consistent. No configuration changes or installs have changed it. Microsoft Excel:I open a black spreadsheet. Type something in. Highlight the entire text. Change the font. When I change to a DOES print font it prints. When I change to a DOES NOT print font I get this: "Microsoft Office Excel Your file could not be printed due to an error on HP Officejet Pro 861 on 0. There are several possible reasons:. There may not be enough memory available. Try closing files and programs you aren't using.. If you use a network for printing, there may be a problem with the network connection or the printer driver.. There may be loose cables or a bad connection between your computer and printer.For more information about troubleshooting printing problems, chick Help. Show Help >>" when I click the Show Help >> button I get: "This error can be caused by:
General problems: The printer may be unavailable, the network may be down, the communication port to the printer may be corrupt or unavailable, a hardware error at the computer may have occurred (out of paper, paper jam, out of ink, out of toner, etc), and a language setting may need to be reset from the Regional Options control panel.
Local problems: There are several reasons for a local printer (a printer that is attached directly to your computer) to fail:
Check to make sure the printer has paper, ink, and/or toner and check the cables.
If the printer appears to be functional and a printer test by the printer itself indicates the printer is working properly, then check the cables, printer port from the computer, and configuration of the printer at the computer.
Occasionally, an application can develop a conflict with the printer driver and cause a memory leak which corrupts the printer port. If all else fails, restart the computer, recycle the power to the printer, and try printing again.
Occasionally it is even necessary to delete the printer driver and reinstall the latest version of the printer driver.
Network problems: There are various reasons for a network printer to be inaccessible: the name may have changed, it may be out of paper, out of ink, out of toner, down for maintenance, the network could be down, or a printer job previous to yours has stalled due to incorrect settings on the user's computer who last submitted a print job, or even your printer driver cannot communicate correctly with the printer. Network related printer failures are usually best handled by your local technical support.
Memory problemsn occasion, large print jobs with complex graphics or consisting of several hundred pages, which can consume large quantities of memory on the printer, may cause a problem (especially if there was an over run of memory at the printer). You may want to try reducing the amount of complex graphics in your print job, or break the print job up into smaller segments and see if that corrects your problem. It is not uncommon for a very complex graphic to have a defect or error which prevents it from printing on any printer. It may be necessary to load new or revised graphic converters or drivers in order to alleviate a problem of this type.
For more information about fixing problems related to printing, see Microsoft Windows Help and Support. (Click the Start button, and then click Help and Support.)" Excel keeps right on going. Doesn't crash. Just pops up the gray dialog box. Behind the box popped up is another box (that goes away then the dialog box is closed) saying: "Now printing page 1 of 1'Book1' on theHP Officejet Pro 861 on 0" The format of these messages does seem strange now that I look at it so carefully while trying to type EXACTLY what I see. I think I will try to shorten the name of the printer. Once again, Respectfully submitted for analysis, review, suggestions, and criticism. Tom

HP photosmart 6520 e Bought new Will not print my voucher checks. Details below

8 1/2 X 11 voucher checks To eliminate size, texture, thickness, any other paper reasons , I turned the check upside down. it printed exzctly on the back of the check what it should print on the face of the check. With the check face up, the printer drops down below the check and prints on the voucher what it should print on the check. If I feed a plain sheet of paper instead of the check, it will print correctly what it should print on the check............But it will NOT print on the check!!
My impressioon is that the printer scans the check, thinks the check is a letter head, and faithfully refranes from over-printing on the letterhead. Could this printer be that smart?? If so, where do I look inside to turn that feature off.
I'm using windows 7 with quicken (2007 issue) but the fact that the printer wii print correctly on anything you stick in there EXCEPT THE CHECK, pretty much eliminates everything cxcept the printer being headstrong.

Well I'm sorry that didn't, since your already using the latest drivers I recommend trying to install an alternate print driver and see if that helps any.
To try another print driver
-click on the Start icon
-choose "devices and printers"
-choose "add a printer"
-select "add a local printer" (make sure you choose the existing port that your current printer is on)
at the install the printer driver section choose "HP" as the manufacturer and under printers look for the "HP Deskjet 990c"
If your unable to locate the 990c driver click on the "windows update" button and then follow the above steps to choose the 990c print driver.
-click next once you have the driver selected
-if it asks I always select "do not share this printer" and I don't set it as default
just finish off the installation.
Once the new driver is installed you should see the 990c printer and be able to print to it. Try selecting it in your Quicken program to print the check.
Sorry for the frustration, I hope this helps.

Adobr Reader XI: document will not print: premium presentation paper

I've had no problems with this before today. Adobe Reader XI gives me an error message that "document will not print". I tried it in draft, plain paper, and it printed, without a problem. I switched browsers, from Google Chrome, redownloaded the document (online labels) into IE8, then tried to reprint as premuim presentation paper, matte, color. Same error message. Yet, as a draft, no problem. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, updated drivers on Epson printer (WF2530), same error message. AShould I do a system restore to two days ago, since this is the last time there was no problem? I print product labels.

Thanks Atul,
Th problem has recently been resolved when my new technician made some adjustmnents. The problem was not the fault of Acrobat. It goes back to my new high definition IPS monitor several weeks earlier. When using Windows Office 2007 I was seeeing green haloes mainly between letters such as" ll, ii, db" etc. where the vertical lines filled with green. In Adobe Bridge, the variable text in control boxes took on a red colour. My technician (at the time) sought help via the Microsoft Help site and found this was a common problem with professional high definition IPS monitors like my new one. The instructions (4 pages from the Microsoft site) said to turn off the Clear Text Type and replace the font 'SEGOE' with Tahoma. As the technician workede his way through the steps, I watched as he marked them off as he went so as to ensure the changes were correctly made. This solved the problem but it wasn't until a week later when I tried to print a PDF file that my problems with Acrobat began. The PC was taken to another technican fora "second opinion" and this man fixed the problem within a short time by changing the font back to the Windows default, SEGOE. He may have done something else but when I saw the printer dialog panel on his workbench with no other problems either, I was anxious to try it with my new monitor. No more colour fringing/haloes etc and no further problems with Acrobat However, I was waiting a little longer before informing you of the outcome-just in case it didn't work.
It seems that Microsoft may be incorrect in their 'Fix' advice as the font SEGO may well be required for Acrobat to print a PDF file?
This case may now be closed with thanks for trying to help with a problem that in the end turned out to not your fault

HP Photosmart B210a will not print black ink on plain paper... only on photo paper.

Hi, I have an HP Photosmart B210a that wont print black ink. I have used a whole set of ink cartridges by cleaning the print heads, allignment etc. I just installed ALL NEW cartridges and the sae thing is ocurring. I have replaced plenty of cartridges and am experienced. Just all of a sudden one day the printer stopped printing black ink on plain paper documents like with MS Word, excel and PDF, etc. It's not set to greyscale either, actually it wont even print grey! However, if I go to a photo with plenty of black in it, it will print it JUST FINE!!! I'm at my wits end! I have followed EVERY head cleaning advice in the forums but it will not print black in except on photos... Please help!!!!

The document here may help, although you have likley already done most of the steps. Be sure to check the vents. If the above does not resolve black not printing on your Photosmart b210a the post here may help.
The black cartridge uses pigmented ink which is not compatible with photo paper. Although the printer appears to be printing black properly on photo paper it is actually using color mixed together to produce black in this case.

HP Laserjet 4100 on network will not print

Since I’ve installed Snow Leopard, I have not been able to print with my HP Laserjet 4100.
My set-up: new 24” iMac, many hard drives and more. Two devices: HP Color Laserjet 5550 and HP Officejet J5750 are connected to the iMac through a USB Hub. Although initially scanning did not work with the J5750, I was able to make that work once additional drivers were downloaded from HP. Both work fine.
I also have an older HP Laserjet 4100 which has been my steady workhorse for years. It only has Ethernet and serial port outlets. It is connected to an AT&T 2-Wired Ethernet Hub/DSL Modem (model 2701HG-B) that is connected to the iMac.
I’ve contacted HP and Apple about this problem. None of the three people I worked with at Apple could help and the HP representative was unsure if they could help but that it would cost me $40 to find out. According to HP website, since Apple Talk no longer exists, we are required to input the IP for the device. For the 4100, the IP address is 10.0.1.100. I tried this two ways: in the “Add Printer” window under “IP,” inputted as the IPP, and inputted as the HP Jetdirect Socket (as per the HP instructions). When this is done, the printer shows up when you give a print command. However, it does not show up in the “Add Printer” window under “default” or anywhere else.
Status: If I connect the 4100 Ethernet cable directly to the back of the iMac, the “Supply” level indicates the true level of toner in the 4100. However, it will not print. If I connect the 4100 Ethernet cable to the Ethernet hub, the supply level does not show nor can I print.
Any suggestions?

I am struggling with the same problem. I have two HP 4100dtn printers on ethernet. Each has a manually assigned IP address. I can set up the printer(s) just fine in the Print & Fax Preference and Snow Leopard finds the printer just fine when I enter the IP address and chooses the correct HP Driver.
When I try to print, my print job appears in the queue as expected, than an error appears that something about a "bad command". Sorry, I'm home right now and don't have direct access to the printer so I can't give you the precise language of the message, but the gist of the message is that the system tried to connect to the printer to send the print data but the printer does not know how to respond to the command that was sent.
It's as if the firmware in the 4100 just doesn't have something in it's lexicon that Snow Leopard needs. The HP web site is no help. One page I found says the printer is supported (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&obje ctID=c01664444&jumpid=regR1002USEN ) and another page I found says that it is not supported (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&obje ctID=c01879014&jumpid=regR1002USEN). The HP on line chat won't let me log in and hold a chat with HP unless I know the Serial Number of the printer, which I don't have here at home.
More to follow tomorrow.
Anyone have any ideas?
