F4280 attempts print job but nothing on paper after

As the title somewhat states, if I try to print using my F4280, the printer will attempt to print but without success. I can hear the ink cartridges get "into position" so to speak, but then the paper will just feed through the printer without actually printing. The ink cartridges are full and correctly installed. About a month ago, it was doing approximately the same thing, except instead of just feeding the paper through, I could hear the printer as if it was actually printing but still no ink on the paper. I'm not sure if I have explained it well enough, as I don't know exactly how to word it, but I hope someone understands what I'm asking and is able to help. Thanks in advance for any attempts to help!!

After I replied that the attempts didnt work, I attempted cleaning and aligning printheads again. This time it worked like a charm. Many thanks for your assistance, you have my neverending heartfelt appreciation.

Other times the Wi-Fi connection works fine and it check e-mail or other within few seconds. The connection problems seems to be intermitted
This issue never happened before with IOS 5 since I bought the new phone in Oct 2011.

We suffered the imap.gmail.com server problem After an IoS 6 upgrade. The simple solution is to delete the problem account, shut down the iPad, start up again and reenter the account. Everything comes back normally. Good Luck everyone!

I am having problems shutting down my MacBook Pro. I go to the apple and click shutdown or restart, it appears the shutdown process starts, the screen goes blue and the little circle keeps going round and round, but nothing happens even after 30 minutes.

Make sure you quit all your applications before shutting down.

Shared Library shows, but nothing comes up after Loading "name Library"

Have set up Home Sharing on my WIN 7 computers. I can go to my wife's computer, see my Library and all of the various type of Media. All good. When at my computer, I see her Library, but nothing comes up after the Loading wife's Library is display. It did work when I first set it up several months ago.

This morning, in now works. I have done nothing and neither computer were even turned off. there is obviously some instability in this feature. I guess you can't rely on it and you take your chances each time you use as to whether it will work.
It would be nice if somebody (or, in my wildest dreams, Apple) knew of something that could be changed in a setting or anything that would allow this feature to work consistently.

Will not print - feeds paper and sounds right but nothing on paper.

Recently printed resumes and everything was fine. Replaced ink cartridges and now when we attempt to print something, the paper feeds thru the printer and sounds like its printing but nothing shows up on the paper when it comes out. When printing from e-mail, it will print the heading (to, from, subject, etc) but nothing in the body of the emaila prints. I have aligned print heads and cleaned print heads but still nothing. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

Why do print jobs from Firefox create paper jam in my HP printer?

Running v3.6.13 in Win7 64-bit OS on HP laptop. Printer is a wireless networked HP Photosmart C7280. Print jobs from web pages result in a paper jam every time. Print jobs of documents from other applications as well as web pages from Internet Explorer all print normally. Jobs sent from 2 Macs in same network print normally. I think I've narrowed this down to Firefox being the only app to cause this problem.
The print jobs sent from the HP laptop send one blank page through the printer in front of each printed page. Printer properties, advanced, for the printer show a "separator page" for each print job which cannot be changed or disabled, AFAIK. The Firefox print jobs send the blank page correctly but the next page on which the job should be printed is the one that jams and stalls the printer. I remove the jammed paper, reset the printer and nothing more happens - the job is ended, nothing in the queue.

Hi @annmade ,
I will certainly do my best to help you remove the rest of the paper jam inside the printer.
I have provided some documentation for removing paper jams. Please go to page 69 of the manual.
HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series Printer.
I would suggest to try running a plain piece of paper through, by running a cleaning page through the printer. It might help since you are unable to access the rest of the pieces of paper inside the printer. Resolving Print Quality Issues. Go to Solution six: Clean inside the product. I don't have any documents for disassembling the printer.
If the issue continues, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836, to see if they have a replacement option for you or a trade in option.

[PrintService] Printer found but nothing is printed / Invalid Flavor

Hi,
I'm trying to print a plain old UTF-8 String on a printer... Well this appears to me to be something simple, but i can't make it work.
The PrintJob is sent to the printer, i'm told that data transfer to the printer is done... But nothing is printed out from the printer!!
FYI, im working on a Mac... but with other software on my machine i manage to print anything with the printer found by my Java code.
Here is my code:
public void print() {
        LOG.info(incidentFormString.toString());
        DocFlavor docFlavor = DocFlavor.STRING.TEXT_PLAIN;
        PrintRequestAttributeSet printAttributes = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
        printAttributes.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
        DocAttributeSet attributes = new HashDocAttributeSet();
        attributes.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
        // get the default printer
        PrintService printService = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
        LOG.info("Printer found: " + printService.getName());
        DocPrintJob job = printService.createPrintJob();
        Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(incidentFormString.toString(),
                docFlavor,
                attributes);
        job.addPrintJobListener(new PrintJobListener() {
            public void printDataTransferCompleted(PrintJobEvent printJobEvent) {
                LOG.info("printDataTransferCompleted");
            public void printJobCompleted(PrintJobEvent printJobEvent) {
                LOG.info("printJobCompleted");
            public void printJobFailed(PrintJobEvent printJobEvent) {
                LOG.info("printJobFailed");
            public void printJobCanceled(PrintJobEvent printJobEvent) {
                LOG.info("printJobCanceled");
            public void printJobNoMoreEvents(PrintJobEvent printJobEvent) {
                LOG.info("printJobNoMoreEvents");
            public void printJobRequiresAttention(PrintJobEvent printJobEvent) {
                LOG.info("printJobRequiresAttention");
        try {
            job.print(doc, printAttributes);
        } catch (PrintException e) {
            LOG.error(e.getMessage());
    }incidentFormString is the string i'm trying to print. I chechked its content, it is a proper String, so there re no problems regarding to this.
Here is what i get in my console on Mac

[AWT-EventQueue-0] ERROR com.thalys.opalys.client.utils.IncidentFormTextRenderer - invalid flavorThanks a million for your help

Hey. Thanks for the quick answer
Sorry i forgot to mention those details.
My log were not verbose enough, but i simulated it on my Mac (i'm developing on my Mac and production is on a PC... the reason is that my company has not been able to give me a powerful enough PC to develop, so instead im using my Mac).
On my Mac it gives:
invalid flavor
at sun.print.Win32PrintJob.print(Win32PrintJob.java:290)
at Printing.main(Printing.java:40)
I also thought it was a problem of data that my printer can or cannot accept.
I used this code:
        DocFlavor docFlavor = DocFlavor.STRING.TEXT_PLAIN;
        LOG.info("DocFlavor Mime-Type: " + docFlavor.toString());
        PrintRequestAttributeSet printAttributes = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
        printAttributes.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
        DocAttributeSet attributes = new HashDocAttributeSet();
        attributes.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
        // get the default printer
        PrintService printService = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
        LOG.info("Printer found: " + printService.getName());
        DocFlavor[] flavors = printService.getSupportedDocFlavors();
        for (DocFlavor flavor : flavors) {
            LOG.info(flavor.toString());
        }And got this log:
As you can see, the doc flavor i choosed is available on the printer (i just did the test on my Mac, but my PC locates the same default printer as you can see on the previous posts)

Printer engaged but nothing is printed out

Dear Applites,
I have an HP printer hooked up to my desktop apple- OSX. I have no problem printing something off the internet but for some reason I can't print anything I've word processed. i.e. Appleworks. The printer goes through the motions as if printing something, but alas, out pops a blank sheet of paper.
Any help most graciously accepted,
Michael

Records typing but nothing shows up after recording

I hope someone can help me. For whatever reason, whenever I
record let's say a document like MS WORD (or anything for that
matter) in which I'm recording how to input data, when recording is
completed, I can't watch the actual typing. The typing is revealed
at the end of the project. I want to be able to see the document
being filled out as my clients need this.
Now here's where things get interesting. I go to my temp
files and lo and behold, there are the temp flash files and when I
click on them I can watch the words as they are being typed. Why
doesn't Captivate use these files and create the story line? My
temp files continues to grow at an alarming rate and I have to
delete these files before they consume my hard drive space.
Anyway, this baffles me and I am quite frustrated. What is
wrong? I have no idea. I have moved the Adobe Captivate program to
my external hard drive thinking that that would help but nothing. I
moved the temp files to the external hard drive and still nothing.
I'm using Windows XP Pro with SP2 installed.
Can anyone offer any suggestions on this as I have
major projects for clients looming and this is not going to
work.

Just installed but nothing shows up after drag / drop, open file, and bridge

I've been using CS3 for many years and my work finally got me CS5. After installing and registering my new product I did the usual "drag and drop" with a JPEG image to start a project and this is what shows up:
As you can see, the loaded image on my layers window as a "background" and on the top tabs, you can see two files that I've attempted to open however when I try to magnify, zoom, etc. nothing shows up in the work area. I even attempted Bridge and File --> Open and I have seen the same results which is nothing showing up on my work space. I even opened a new document and when I open it, the same grey background appears and the new project / file acts like it was never there!
Is there something that I don't know about CS5 in regards to opening new files? Thank you in advance.

Usually, when disabling OpenGL Drawing corrects a screen update issue, that means that your video card is probably capable, but the driver is out of date and faulty.
Try going to the web site of the maker of your graphics card and downloading/installing their latest driver for your hardware and OS. Then try re-enabling OpenGL Drawing. You might well find it all works great, and you'll gain access to the OpenGL-specific features:
