Have to hit Resume in Print Queue in order to print

This is an odd one -- one that I've only encountered on one machine so far...
When the client prints something, from any application, the Print Queue will load and show the document in the queue, but never goes ahead and prints.
If the client clicks the Resume icon in the Print Queue, it prints.
I feel silly posting this. I feel like I'm missing something obvious. However, I haven't seen this problem on any of the other machines that were upgraded to OS X 10.5 -- similar Macbooks printing to the same printers.
What could be causing this?
I've checked/tried the obvious things:
- restarting (of course )
- ensuring the print queue isn't paused / stopped
- removing/re-adding the printer
Basically, the Print Queue is getting the document to be printed, and instead of proceeding with the print is waiting for me to hit the Resume icon to confirm I want to print.
The client doesnt want that extra step. What am I missing?

Would Archive and Install be the best option, then?

Print Queue will not remove print jobs

I am running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard. I have a Printer HP LaserJet P4015n set up as a network printer thru DNS. The printer is working fine all print job will come
out. Each time I send a print job to stays in the queue with the Status "Sent to printer". If I send another print job to the printer it will print out however the job will stay in the queue. I have added the printer to a user’s machine and they were
able to see all the print jobs in the queue. I have stops and started the spool however it does nothing. I have already reinstalled the printer but it has done nothing to help.
After about 5 - 10min of the jobs are sitting the in the queue they delete themselves.
Does anyone know of anything I can do about this?

Hi,
Thanks for the post.
Here is something I need to confirm:
1. Does this issue occur with other network printers?
2. Does this issue occur when printing a text file?
If this issue just occurs with HP LaserJet P4015n, it is caused by the specific printer driver.
Now please perform the following steps to troubleshoot this issue.
Clear spool file
1. Stop the spooler by doing the following:
a. Click Start , Settings , Control Panel , Administrative Tools , then Services .
b. Scroll down the list of services for the Print Spooler.
c. Right click Print Spooler and click Stop .
2. Delete the spool files
a. Open My Computer.
b. Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS\ .
c. Delete all of the files inside of this folder.
3. Restart the spooler.
a. Click Start , Settings , Control Panel , Administrative Tools , then Services
b. Scroll down the list of services for the Print Spooler.
c. Right click the Print Spooler and click Start.
Change the spooling format
Set the spooling format to RAW, and then try to print directly to the printer instead of spooling the print job. To do this:
          a.       Click "Start", point to "Settings", and then click "Printers".
          b.       Right-click the printer that you are using, and then click "Properties".
          c.       In the Advanced tab, click "Print Processor".
          d.       Set the default "Data type" to "RAW" for both "WinPrint" and "ModPrint".
          f.        Click "OK", click "OK" again, and then close the Printers dialog box.
Does it work?
Hope this helps.

Wireless MacBook Pro to wired C7280: Deleted offline printer queue, can't add printer again

I posted about a year and a half ago about connectivity problems with our C7280 all-in-one, and PrintDoc gave me some great suggestions to get me back on line again--thanks again!
I've had problems off-and-on again, but I've been able to get back again until now, and I can't get the usual tricks to work.
Here's our set-up:
Printer: Photosmart C7280 All-in-One, connected to network via Ethernet, static IP address 192.168.1.200 (confirmed via printer's display as well as the printer's web page)
Router: Verizon/Actiontec MI424-WR (Verizon FiOS) with
* Ethernet ports
* 802.11b and 11g with WPA encryption
My Laptop: MacBook Pro, Mac OS 10.6.8, wireless connection
Every now and then, the printer goes off-line. (Our cordless phones and our WiFi occasionally hit the same channels, and our printer hiccups seem to happen after WiFi hiccups. My theory is that a WiFi hiccup somehow screws up the print queues, possibly if it happens in the middle of a print job. Haven't been able to prove it, though.) I'm usually able to fix it by cycling power on the printer and/or resetting the print system (by right-clicking the list of printers in the Print & Fax window).
That's not working this time. I reset the print system, but when I try to add a printer, I don't see my printer in the Add Printer dialog.
I've tried various combinations of:
Cycling power on the printer (sometimes by cycling the power button off and on, sometimes by unplugging the power cord while powered on, and sometimes by unplugging the power cord while powered off)
Resetting the print system again (sometimes by itself, sometimes followed by log off/on, sometimes followed by reboot)
Powering down the Mac, then the printer, then the router, then powering them back up in reverse order.
But I still can't see my printer in the Add Printer dialog.
Somewhere along the way, I tried following the Mac OS 10.6-10.7 instructions from here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02205477&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3204785#N86...
...but Solution 1 assumes that the printer queue is still there; unfortunately, I'd already reset the print system by then.
Since I'm using OS 10.6 which already has the printer drivers built in, I'm assuming that I can't uninstall and reinstall the printer drivers as in older versions of Mac OS X. (Er, right?)
The long-term solution (if my theory is right) is to get cordless phones that don't use the WiFi frequencies :-) In the meantime, are there any tricks I'm missing?

Today I tried to "add printer" again...and lo and behold, there it was!
I wish I could tell you what fixed the problem, but I haven't got a clue.

Hp photosmart C7280 says "stopped" in print queue and won't print!

I just bought an hp photosmart C7280 today. It was a pretty simple setup with the actual printer and network and all. i download the updated driver from the hp website and all seemed kosher there too. now i click "print" and on the print queue page it says "stopped" and won't print!
ahhh please help? is this a good printer with macs anyways? it seemed kinda loud during the setup...

I too have gone through most of the problems described here but have finally been able to get the c7280 working properly, yet I'm still not very happy with the solution.
For connectivity reasons, I wanted to connect the aio to my network via ethernet cable directly to my router. While my computers will access the network wirelessly, I wanted the printer to have a solid connection. Unfortunately, I was never (and still can't) get it to work properly using this connection. What finally did work was using the wireless connection in the printer to connect to the network.
Why this would work wirelessly and not while directly connected is something no one has been able to explain. I still have the printer right next to my wireless router to interference doesn't seem to be a problem and it seems fast enough, but the fact that I can't get it working properly with a "less technically challenged" method, really bothers me. What if I didn't have a wireless network? While wireless is great, if there was an easy solution to have all my desktops connected via ethernet, I'd prefer it (easy being not having a bunch a cables around and perhaps a pre-wired network in my home!)
Anyway, I hope everyone who has this machine gets the problem worked out. Unfortunately, knowing what I know now, I don't think I would buy this one again unless the software was rock solid. Physically the unit works well, but is a little loud I admit and went through my black cartridge pretty fast even though I used in saving settings such as fast draft, etc.
Just as a side note, the HP support guy in Canada was fairly annoying. When we still couldn't get it working properly via ethernet, he insisted it must be a problem with Apple or a conflict with a program I have installed, etc,etc. and told me that every one of his customers that has Leopard also has this unit working 100% properly. I politely told him he needs to add me as his first failure!
OK, enough rant. Try connecting wirelessly and see if that works. I would uninstall the current printers as suggested, but also clear out the printer cache. Do this by right clicking in the add a printer box area and choose reset printing system. If all else fails and you upgraded to Leopard from Tiger, then......gulp...... uninstall Leopard and revert back to Tiger. Under Tiger, both my macs worked perfectly connected via ethernet printer connection. Good luck.

Print jobs hung up in print queue and blocks further printing

I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500A and an IMAC running OS10.9.5. Whenever I print something, it (if it is the only print job) prints; however, it doesn't get deleted from the queu. Therefore, all subsequent print jobs get held up in the queue and I have to go in and manually delete the completed job so the others can print. If more than one job in the print queue, I have to continually go in and delete each printed job.
Any ideas/help would be appreciated.
This question was solved.

Thanks Jamieson. I really appreciate your assistance. I uninstalled the printer software per suggestion #1 and then re-entered my printer and all seems to be working fine now.

How to change the print queue name with Lexmark printer?

Is it at all possible to change the print queue name from Lexmark_3500_4500_Series, to something shorter? I try to link printouts from an old Sun Unix system, thru my iMac to the Lexmark X4580 multifunction printer. However, the Sun/Unix will not accept this long print queue name...

Apologies, I misread. The only way I know of changing the Print Queue Name is by readding the printer.
 > System Preferences > Print & Scan > Add
Choose your printer, make sure you change the print queue name to something different (equates to the Printer Name).
When you need to print, simply select the printer you just added.
Once your happy it works, delete the old printer from the list in Print & Scan.

Job appears in print queue but doesn't print

Here's the setup:
HP Laserjet 1606dn connected via USB to XP computer. From this computer printer works fine. Printer is shared on the network.
On another XP machine on the network, ran Add Printer, printer was detected and installed and everything works fine.
On a Vista computer on the network, ran Add Printer. Printer was detected, everything installed apparently correctly.
When I print a test page from the Vista machine, the job appears in the print queue on the XP machine. It stays there for about 60 seconds. The status is "printing". The job then disappears and nothing prints.
Any ideas about what to try next?

Take a look at these instructions from eHow, and let me know if they fix the problem for you. (Generally, I just turn my printer off and back on, and that does the trick.)

Print queue auto-deleted when printer is switched off after office hours

We have our fax program running 24-7 and autoprinting every received fax. When the printers are sutdown outside office hours, xserve deletes the jobs without holding them until the printers become available again.
Is there a trick to keep the jobs (auto) on hold and be printed as described above?

Can i upgrade iphoto'08 in snow leopard 10.6.5 because i have a lots of books i can't order for printing in the iphoto version 7.1.5

please help me

You can buy an iLife 11 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay, or if desired and you have a compatible Mac, update it to 10.6.8 and then Mavericks, which will enable you to get iPhoto from the Mac App Store.
Whichever one you choose, back up your library, click here, and run the iPhoto library upgrader.

Print Jobs Disappear from the Print Queue and Do Not Print

As the title say, It sends to the spool, says printing, disappears, and I cry, because nothing is printed.
HP Deskjet 1513 - Windows 7
Tried wiping out and reinstalling the drivers
The ones that came from the CD, OR the ones online. No response from the printer.
I can clean the printer, align cartridges, print test page, scan documents, but cannot print documents.
Not from word, not from pdf, nor a web page, neither notepad.
The printer IS the default printer.

Solution: disable bidirectional support on the Ports section

Printed XML Purchase Order Report - Printing blank Blanket PO page

Hi,
When printing the xml report of a Blanket PO Release, the release lines and headers print first but the last page is a page for the primary blanket PO (PO Num without any releases attached). This page does not contain any information in the header or line fields therefore it is a waste of paper. Looking into the XML code the blanket PO page is pulled in the same manner as the Release lines, against G_Headers. I'm going to look into the Reports Developer SQL to see if I can find something but I would rather not mess with the configuration of the SQL if I did not have to.
Any ideas on how to get rid of this extra unnecessary page?
Thanks,
-Steve

Hi,
RDBMS : 11.2.0.1.0
Oracle Applications : 11.5.10.2
OS: Unix
The issue can be reproduced.
The report in question has had customization but the blank page prints in the Printed Purchase Order Report(Portrait) seeded function as well. From what I see the SQL might be able to modified based off of the input paramet "Print Blanket PO". When this is selected "No" the Blanket header is printed with no lines (that's where the blank PO page is coming from). When selected Yes the blanket header with all the blanket lines are printed. So I may be able to go in and change how that input parameter changes the output, unless there is a better way.

Printing w/Leopard & AD-based Windows Print Queues:

For those interested, I have written an overview of printing in Leopard 10.5.0 to Windows print servers (published queues Active Directory). Your mileage may vary. This document contains the good the bad and the ugly.
Objective:
Get Leopard based Macs to print to AD published SMB print queues hosted on Windows 2003 print servers. Sounds easy, huh?
Overview:
Print Servers:
Windows 2003 print servers.
Printers:
All the printers in my test were all new HP network b/w printers or network MFP b/w printers. All of them were less than 2 years old. None of them were consumer-grade home USB printers.
Mac Clients:
My test clients were Intel MacBook Pros and Intel iMacs running 10.5.0 Leopard. All of them had user AD accounts and all Macs were bound to AD using Directory Utility (or dsconfigad)
The AD clients have a unique naming convention at my company. In my environment we use the initials of the person for their login name (SAM). Example:
Real “human” Name: “Stephen Paul Jobs”
Long Active Directory Name: “Steve Jobs”
Short Active Directory Name: “spj”
“Legacy” NT Names: “domain\spj”
Full domain name (used for email etc): “[email protected]”
(you get the idea...)
Note: My Mac clients are not in an Open Directory domain. No “Magic Triangle” in this environment. Pure AD for the sake of this example. I am not managing the Mac clients via MCX in this scenario.
Print Protocols:
All the print queues hosted on the print servers were standard SMB/CIFS print queues. The syntax (UNC) looks like this:
smb://print_server.domain/queue
(This syntax is invisible to most users printing to AD-published printers (or any network based printer really) . Most users will have no idea what protocols are being used.)
Procedures:
Part 1: Set up a new printer from an existing AD-published print queue:
From the Apple menu select “System Preferences...” (or launch it from /Applications). The Printer Setup Utility app no longer exists. Apple has discontinued it fro various reasons.
Click on the Printer & Fax pane.
Click the “+” button on the left. This will launch the Apple Printer Browser (called “AddPrinter”, and lives in /System/Library/CoreServices), which looks similar to the previous browser in Tiger. The Printer Browser by default will usually show network printers vai Directory Services (AD/OD etc) as well as Bonjour printers and Mac OS X based shared printers – if they are shared via IPP and LPR under certain circumstances).
Select the desired AD-published print queue you want to print to by highlighting it in the browser list and clicking the “Add” button. (Note: Print queues published via Active Directory will show up as “Open Directory” printers, even though this is not 100% technically correct.)
Before the queue will be added, you will be prompted to authenticate as a local administrator. If you are not an admin you are screwed. Enter your name and password.
Once the print queue is added, it will show up on your Mac in several ways (barring any bugs – see below). Here are the ways to tell if you have added the print queue successfully:
A The new print queue will now be displayed in the Print & Fax system pref pane (but not always – see below).
B You will see a printer proxy application in ~/Library/Printers/ which corresponds to your new print queue. This is the print monitor app that will show up in your Dock when you print to the queue.
C You can see the new print queue via the CUPS admin page at http://localhost:631/printers.
D You can see your new print queue from the Terminal by typing this command: “lpstat –v” (type “man lpstat” for more info on the lpstat and related commands)
E You can also see your printers by launching an print-enabled application such as TextEdit or Safari and printing a page. You will be presented with Leopard’s new print dialog box (which now includes a print preview pane). From the “Printer” drop-down menu you can see all of your printers. You can add a printer from here too (which takes you to the steps listed above)
(of course, most end users will only use option A listed above. The other options are more abstract and complicated)
Now that the AD print queue has been setup on your Mac, you can print to it (maybe).
Part 2: Printing to an AD-published print queue:
Open a document you want to print.
Choose “Page Setup...” from the File menu if you need to configure the job. (Optional)
Choose “Print” from the File menu.
From the Print dialog box, choose the desired print queue from the Printer menu
Click the Print button.
You will need to authenticate with a valid Active Directory username and password. You don’t have to have administrator credentials, but you have to verify that you are a domain member. In my environment, my Windows print server doesn't require authentication, but for some reason Leopard or CUPS makes you authenticate. (See below). Not only is this a major PIA, but the authentication dialog box itself is formatted to include the wrong credentials format for authentication in the first place.
Volia! Done. Easy huh? Not really. Read on for the ugly stuff.
My Complaints and Caveats:
OK, so here’s where I vent, complain and scratch my head. Join in on the fun.
Sometimes shared print queues don’t show up in the Print & Fax system preference pane after they have been added. I have no idea why. The local CUPS admin page (http://localhost:631) on my Mac test clients can see the connected queues, and the queues show up in ~/Library/Printers. The “lpstat –v” command shows the connect queues too. But for some reason, sometimes network print queues that I have previously setup (and use regularly) don’t show up in the Leopard Print & Fax preference pane. Local USB printers always show up fine for me.
2. When challenged to authenticate a print job to a Windows print server (AD), the Mac’s authentication dialog box pre-populates the AD user’s name in the “Name” field incorrectly. Example:
A user named “Joe Is Cool” (short name “JIC”) prints a job to the print server. The print auth dialog box challenges him for a name and password. It is pre-populated already with the name of “Cool, Joe”. When a valid AD password is entered, the job is rejected (it fails authentication and gets put on hold – which is hard to see this unless you explicitly look at the Printer.app proxy tool in the Dock). However, if the user replaces “Cool, Joe” with his official AD short name of “JIC” and then enters his AD password, the print job is accepted and printed. I wish Apple didn’t try and pre-populate the dialog box! Can this be avoided or prevented?
In my environment, my Windows print server doesn't even require authentication, but for some reason Leopard or CUPS makes you authenticate. I’m working with my Windows administrators to figure this out. It will only accept user names with the short name format. It will not accept long (full) names or NT legacy names.
3) The Printer Setup Utility app, which used to live in /Applications/Utilities, no longer exists. Apple has discontinued it for various reasons. Mainly security and simplicity. I wish it was still available, but the system pref pane works fine (well, usually)
4) Active Directory-based print queues will show up in the OS X Printer Browser as “Open Directory” printers, even though this is not 100% technically correct. Why can’t OS X tell the difference between OD queues and AD queues and label them as such?
5) Leopard has locked down the ability to add network printers. You now must be a local administrator in 10.5 or later. I understand the importance of this security measure in certain environments, but why can’t there be an option in the Security preference pane to “Allow non-admins to add printers”? This would make me very happy.
6) Setting the default printer and resetting the CUPS system now require you to right-click in the left side of the Print & Fax pane. There no longer is a button or menu option to do this.
7) Sometimes after a job has printed the printer proxy app (from ~/Library/Printers) stays in the Dock and won’t go away.
Conclusion
Please chime in on your experiences, bugs, opinions and comments.

I have noticed several of the changes in our system when printing to an AD printer from a Leopard client. I have one issue that is pretty odd and I'm not sure what is going on. When printing an Excel worksheet, I get prompted for AD credentials. After submitting the job, the print queue says "Waiting for Authentication", I have to press the Resume button and then the authentication dialog pops up. I successfully authenticate (My auth dialog is populated correctly and the remember to keychain option is selected) and the job prints fine. If I print the same document again (without closing the worksheet or Excel), or any other worksheet, I still have to reauth. I can print just fine to the same printer from Textwriter and I do not need to authenticate. Weird...

HP Laserjet M1212nf MFP not printing doc in Windows print queue

Printer is connected via USB to a laptop running XP. Prints OK. Have another Windows laptop connected via wireless network, sharing the printer and this prints OK. Am trying to share the printer with a Mac OSX Lion over the wireless network. I can get a doc into the print queue on the laptop hosting the printer but nothing prints. The print queue says it's printing and it does complete and delete from queue, but nothing prints. I have tried attaching the printer as a generic PS and PCL printer when configuring the Mac printer share but get same result. I don't see the drivers for the 1212 in the drop-down list on the Mac when I connect to the printer.
